RE: NOAA Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs License Inquiry

Dear Mr. Kohnert:

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 ofthe 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 Compact Spectral Irradiance Monitor (CSIM) and Colorado Ultraviolet
Transit Experiment (CUTE) satellite missions only, and is based on the Initial Contact Forms
that were submitted on August 10, 2017 and August 25, 2017 respectively. Please contact
NOAA with any future satellite missions you may plan to operate to obtain a licensing
determination on that specific mission.




                                                     Sincerely,


                                                      l(\vQ/@j\
                                                     Tahara D. Dawkins
                                                     Director, Commercial Remote Sensing
                                                      Regulatory Affairs
