Dear Mr. Tycz:

             Pursuant to your letter to our counsel of May 13, 1997, Starsys Global
Positioning, Inc. ("Starsys") has enclosed for your review a copy of the current
contract between Starsys and Alcatel Espace S.A. ("Alcatel") 1/. I hereby attest that
the enclosed is a correct copy of thecontract between the parties.

              The enclosed contract contains confidential information that is
competitively sensitive. The contract is being provided here with the
understanding that it will be treated as proprietary, and that access to the contract
will not be provided to any third parties without the consent of Starsys. In the
event that any party requests access to the contract, Starsys requests that it be
notified of this request and that the contract be returned.

             In specific response to your questions, this contract was executed on
November 27, 1996. It amends and restates a contingent contract that the parties
entered into in June 1996, removing the contingency and restating the construction
schedule for the Starsys constellation. The contract contains no material
contingencies. Alcatel is committed to complete construction of the first two

and Alcatel has recently reconfirmed to Starsys that it remains in a position to do
so.

                                              Sincerely,




                                              Starsys Global Positioning, Inc.
