RE: NOAA Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs License Inquiry


Dear Mr. Palo

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Commercial Remote Sensing
Regulatory Affairs Office (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 QB50 — Challenger satellite mission only. This decision is based on the
information provided in the Initial Contact Form submitted on January 28, 2017. Please contact
NOAA with any future satellite missions you may plan to operate to obtain a licensing
determination on that specific mission.




                                             Sincerely,




                                     /5
                                      Tahara D. Dawkins
