RE: NOAA Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs Initial Contact Form Response


Dear Mr. Colwell:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Commercial Remote Sensing
Regulatory Affairs Division (CRSRA) has received and reviewed your Initial Contact Form
concerning your proposed mission. 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 does not relieve you of the obligation to receive any other
U.S. Government licenses, permissions or permits for the export, launch, or operation of a
private spacecraft.

This applies to the Q-PACE satellite mission only. Please contact NOAA with any future
satellite missions you may plan to operate to obtain a licensing determination on that specific
mission.



                                              Sincerely,

                                              Alan D Robinson
                                      (for)   Tahara D. Dawkins
                                              Director, Commercial Remote Sensing
                                               Regulatory Affairs
