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 July 9, 2019. By the authority given to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce underthe
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 has no Earth—sensing capability. This does not relieve you ofthe obligation to
receive any other U.S. Governmentlicenses, permissions or permits.

This applies to the GEARRS—3 mission only, and is based on the Initial Contact Form that was
submitted. Ifthe factual cireumstances ofthe 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,
                                                  M
