RE: NOAA Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs License Inquiry

Dear Dr. Ghosh:

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 CAPSat satellite mission only, and is based on the Initial Contact Form that
was submitted on June 5, 2017. Please contact NOAA with any future satellite missions you may
plan to operate to obtain a licensing determination on that specific mission.




                                             Sincerely,


                                     V——
                                            Tahara D. Dawkins
                                            Director, Commercial Remote Sensing
                                             Regulatory Affairs
