RE: NOAA Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs License Inquiry

Dear Mr. Coyle:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Commercial Remote Sensing
Regulatory Affairs Office (CRSRA) has received and reviewed your Initial Contact Form
submitted on March 1, 2018. By the authority given to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce under
the National and Commercial Space Programs Act of 2010 (P.L. 111—314), and as delegated to
NOAA, we have assessed that your proposed mission will not be required to apply for a NOAA
operator‘s license. This determination was made based on the information provided that the
satellite system is a thermal imager. This does not relieve you of the obligation to receive any
other U.S. Government licenses, permissions or permits.

This applies to the Stratus satellite mission only, and is based on the Initial Contact Form that
was submitted on March 1, 2018. If the factual cireumstances of the information provided
change, please resubmit your Initial Contact Form. Additionally, please contact CRSRA with
any future satellite missions you may plan to operate to obtain a licensing determination on that
specific mission.




                                             Sincerely,
                                       z_ l

                                             Tahara D. Dawkins ~
                                             Director, Commercial Remote Sensing
                                              Regulatory Affairs
