RE: NOAA Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs License Inquiry

Dear Mr. Miller:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Commercial Remote Sensing
Regulatory Affairs Office (CRSRA) has received and reviewed your Initial Contact Form
submitted on August 14, 2018. By the authority given to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce under
the National and Commercial Space Programs Act of 2010 (P.L. 11 1—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 has no Earth—sensing capability. This does not relieve you of the obligation to
receive any other U.S. Government licenses, permissions or permits.

This applies to the NSLSAT—1 mission only, and is based on the Initial Contact Form that was
submitted on August 14, 2018. If the factual circumstances 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,



                                            pfi%ahara D. Dawkins
                                             Director, Commercial Remote Sensing
                                              Regulatory Affairs
