INTRODUCTION
1.      HawkEye 360, Inc. (“HE360”), a US company headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, plans
to launch a commercial constellation of up to 80 microsatellites (the “Hawk satellites”)
beginning no earlier than the 4th quarter of 2019. The satellites will fly in groups of 3-4 in
proximate formation and work together to form a single observation platform (“cluster”).
Nominal orbit lifetime is 3 years, and maximum time to de-orbit after end of mission is less than
21 years.

2.       The satellites are designed to operate in circular orbits with a nominal altitude of 575 km
and inclination between 5 and 97 degrees and are calculated to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere
and burn up completely in 25 years or less. Due to its composition and small size, the entire
satellite will burn up and be consumed due to atmospheric heating. There is 0% probability of
human casualty as no large or small pieces of the spacecraft will survive to the Earth’s surface.

3.      The NASA Debris Assessment Software confirmed that the HE360 satellites satisfy all of
        the Requirements for Limiting Orbital Debris including:
         a. Mission-Related Debris Passing Through LEO
         b. Mission-Related Debris Passing Near GEO
         c. Long-Term Risk from Planned Breakups
         d. Probability of Collision with Large Objects
         e. Probability of Damage from Small Objects
         f. Post-mission Disposal
         g. Casualty Risk from Reentry Debris

4.      HE360 confirms that the satellites will not undergo any planned release of debris during
their normal operations. In addition, all separation and deployment mechanisms, and any other
potential source of debris will be retained by the spacecraft or launch vehicle. HE360 has also
assessed the probability of the space stations becoming sources of debris by collision with small
debris or meteoroids of less than one centimeter in diameter that could cause loss of control and
prevent post-mission disposal. HE360 has taken steps to limit the effects of such collisions
through shielding, the placement of components, and the use of redundant systems.

5.       HE360 has assessed and limited the probability of accidental explosions during and after
completion of mission operations through a failure mode verification analysis. As part of the
satellite manufacturing process, HE360 has taken steps to ensure that debris generation will not
result from the conversion of energy sources on board the satellites into energy that fragments
the satellites. All sources of stored energy onboard the spacecraft will have been depleted or
safely contained when no longer required for mission operations or post-mission disposal.

6.      HE360 has assessed and limited the probability of the space stations becoming a source
of debris by collisions with large debris or other operational spacecraft. HEE360 does not intend
to place any satellites in an orbit that is identical to or very similar to an orbit used by other space

HawkEye 360, Inc.                            -1-                                              Exhibit D


stations, and, in any event, will work closely with the cluster launch providers to ensure that the
satellites are deployed in such a way as to minimize the potential for collision with any other
spacecraft. This specifically includes minimizing the potential for collision with manned
spacecraft.

7.     The HE360 satellites will perform station-keeping maneuvers to maintain separation
between the Hawks in the cluster and sustain the desired geometry. Typical inter-satellite
distances between the satellites will be approximately 125 km and maintenance maneuvers will
be conducted relatively infrequently – approximately once a week. However, the cluster will not
maintain the satellites’ inclination angles, apogees, perigees, and right ascension of the ascending
node to any specified degrees of accuracy beyond the goals of maintaining the cluster geometry.

8.      HE360’s disclosure of the above parameters, as well as the number of space stations, the
number and inclination of orbital planes, and the orbital period to be used, can assist third parties
in identifying potential problems. This information also lends itself to coordination between
HE360 and other operators located in similar orbits.

        2. Assessment Report Format

    ODAR Technical Sections Format Requirements:

    As HawkEye 360, Inc. is a US company, this ODAR follows the format recommended in
    NASA-STD-8719.14 Revision A with Change 1, Appendix A.1 and includes the content
    indicated at a minimum in each section 2 through 8 below for the satellites in the commercial
    constellation. Sections 9 through 14 apply to the launch platform and are not covered here.


        3. ODAR Section 1: Program Management and Mission Overview



    HawkEye 360, Inc.                            -3-                                                   Exhibit D


Project Manager: HawkEye 360, Inc.

Foreign government or space agency participation: No foreign government or space agency
participation is anticipated.

Schedule of upcoming mission milestones:
Launch: No earlier than December 2019

Mission Overview:
The satellites comprising each cluster will be launched and will rapidly be deployed from their
restraint mechanisms and commissioned. The cluster will then begin payload operations that will
continue for at least 2 years.

ODAR Summary: No debris released in normal operations; no credible scenario for breakups;
the collision probability with other objects is compliant with NASA standards; and the estimated
nominal lifetime is less than 25 years, as calculated by DAS 2.1.1.

Launch vehicle and launch site: Launch vehicle and site are to be determined for each HE360
cluster. One or more clusters of 3-4 satellites will be launched together on one launch vehicle in
order to obtain the desired cluster formation. There are several launch vehicle options that are
capable of launching the HE360 clusters of 3-4 satellites into the desired orbits. HE360 will
select launch vehicles for each cluster based on vehicle and site availability, as well as cost and
reliability.

Proposed launch date: No earlier than December 2019.

Mission duration: Nominal orbit lifetime is 3 years. Maximum orbit lifetime is less than 25
years.

Launch and deployment profile, including all parking, transfer, and operational orbits
with apogee, perigee, and inclination: The HE360 satellites will deploy from the launch
vehicle into a low Earth orbit at altitudes between 500km and 650km. The nominal deployment
altitude is 575 km.

               Nominal Insertion Case:     Apogee: 575 km; Perigee: 575 km
               Inclination: 5 degrees, 46.5 degrees, or 97 degrees
               LTDN: 10:30

The HE360 satellites have propulsion for station-keeping and cluster formation establishment.
There is no parking or transfer orbit. They are directly inserted to their mission orbits by the
launch vehicle.

Reason for selection of operational orbit(s): Orbits were chosen to maximize global coverage
and ground station communication opportunities.

Identification of any interaction or potential physical interference with other operational
spacecraft: The HE360 commercial constellation is not expected to interact or interfere with
other operational spacecraft.


   4. ODAR Section 2: Spacecraft Description

Physical description of the spacecraft:
The HE360 satellites are microsatellites, each with a launch mass of approximately 30 kg.

Basic physical outside dimensions are 300 mm x 300 mm x 450 mm.

The spacecraft is composed of an aluminum structure with deployable solar arrays.

Power storage is provided by six prismatic Lithium-Ion cells. The batteries will be recharged by
solar cells mounted on both deployed arrays and on the body of the satellite.

Total satellite mass at launch, including all propellants and fluids: 31 kg including launch
adapter

Dry mass of satellites at launch, excluding propellant:     30.25 kg

Description of all propulsion systems (cold gas, mono-propellant, bi-propellant, electric,
nuclear):     Electrothermal formation-keeping propulsion with distilled water working fluid.

Identification, including mass and pressure, of all fluids (liquids and gases) planned to be
on board and a description of the fluid loading plan or strategies, excluding fluids in sealed
heat pipes: Water and FE36 for pressurization.

Fluids in Pressurized Batteries: None. The satellites use heritage, unpressurized, standard
COTS Lithium-Ion battery cells from SAFT.

Description of attitude control system and indication of the normal attitude of the
spacecraft with respect to the velocity vector:
Satellite attitude is controlled by magnetorquers and reaction wheels. The nominal attitude is an
align/constrain sun-tracking mode where a particular fixed body-frame vector, chosen to
maximize power generation, is aligned with the sun, and rotation about the sun vector is
constrained to point a second fixed body-frame axis to nadir. Other possible attitude modes
include: nadir-pointing, target-tracking, tumble/de-tumble and low/high drag profiles.

Description of any range safety or other pyrotechnic devices: No pyrotechnic devices are
used.

Description of the electrical generation and storage system: Standard COTS Lithium-Ion
battery cells are charged before payload integration and provide electrical energy during the
mission. The cells are recharged by triple-junction GaAs solar cells. A battery protection circuit
protects against over and undercharge conditions.

Identification of any radioactive materials on board: None.


   5. ODAR Section 3: Assessment of Spacecraft Debris Released during
      Normal Operation

Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.3-1 and 4.3-2 (per DAS v2.1.1):

 Requirement 4.3-1: Mission Related Debris Passing Through LEO.
 a. Requirement 4.3-1a: All debris released during the deployment, operation, and disposal phases
 shall be limited to a maximum orbital lifetime of 25 years from date of release (Requirement
 56398).
 b. Requirement 4.3-1b: The total object-time product shall be no larger than 100 object-years per
 mission (Requirement 56399). The object-time product is the sum of all debris of the total time
 spent below 2,000 km altitude during the orbital lifetime of each object. (See section 4.3.4.2 for
 methods to calculate the object-time product.)
 Compliance Statement: COMPLIANT
 There are no intentional releases.



HawkEye 360, Inc.                           -8-                                             Exhibit D


 Requirement 4.3-2: Mission Related Debris Passing Near GEO.
 For missions leaving debris in orbits with the potential of traversing GEO (GEO altitude +/-
 200 km and +/- 15 degrees latitude), released debris with diameters of 5 cm or greater shall be
 left in orbits which will ensure that within 25 years after release the apogee will no longer
 exceed GEO - 200 km (Requirement 56400).
 Compliance Statement: COMPLIANT
 No released debris.



   6. ODAR Section 4: Assessment of Spacecraft Intentional Breakups and
      Potential for Explosions

Potential causes of spacecraft breakup during deployment and mission operations:
There is no credible scenario that would result in spacecraft breakup during normal
deployment and operations.

Summary of failure modes and effects analyses of all credible failure modes which may
lead to an accidental explosion: In-mission failure of a battery cell protection circuit could lead
to a short circuit resulting in overheating and a very remote possibility of battery cell explosion.
The battery safety systems discussed in the FMEA (see requirement 4.4-1 below) describe the
combined faults that must occur for any of seven (7) independent, mutually exclusive failure
modes to lead to explosion.

Detailed plan for any designed spacecraft breakup, including explosions and intentional
collisions: There are no planned breakups.

List of components which shall be passivated at End of Mission (EOM) including method
of passivation and amount which cannot be passivated: None. At end of mission, any
remaining propellant will be used to decay orbit as much as possible, therefore depleting water
propellant. The six batteries will not be passivated at End of Mission due to the low risk and low
impact of explosive rupturing, and the extremely short lifetime at mission conclusion. The
maximum total chemical energy stored in the battery is approximately 543kJ.

Rationale for all items which are required to be passivated, but cannot be due to their
design: The battery charge circuits include overcharge protection to limit the risk of battery
failure. However, in the unlikely event that a battery cell does explosively rupture, the small size,
mass, and potential energy, of these small batteries is such that while the spacecraft could be
expected to vent gases, most debris from the battery rupture should be contained within the
vessel due to the lack of penetration energy. This electrical power system has already been flight
qualified on the GHGSat-D mission. Further, the battery technology baselined on HE360
spacecraft has flown on over a dozen UTIAS Space Flight Labs (SFL) spacecraft without failure.

Assessment of spacecraft compliance with Requirements 4.4-1 through 4.4-4:


HawkEye 360, Inc.                           -9-                                            Exhibit D


 Requirement 4.4-1: Limiting the risk to other space systems from accidental explosions
 during deployment and mission operations while in orbit about Earth or the Moon.
 For each spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stage employed for a mission, the program or
 project shall demonstrate, via failure mode and effects analyses or equivalent analyses, that the
 integrated probability of explosion for all credible failure modes of each spacecraft and launch
 vehicle is less than 0.001 (excluding small particle impacts) (Requirement 56449).
 Compliance Statement: COMPLIANT
      Expected probability: 0.000


       Supporting Rationale and FMEA details:
       Battery explosion:

       Effect: All failure modes below might theoretically result in battery explosion
       with the possibility of orbital debris generation. However, in the unlikely event
       that a battery cell does explosively rupture, the small size, mass, and potential
       energy, of the selected COTS batteries is such that while the spacecraft could be
       expected to vent gases, most debris from the battery rupture should be contained
       within the vessel due to the lack of penetration energy. Furthermore, each battery has a
       pressure relief burst disc that prevents catastrophic battery enclosure failure.
       Probability: Extremely Low. It is believed to be a much less than 0.1%
       probability that multiple independent (not common mode) faults must occur for
       each failure mode to cause the ultimate effect (explosion).

       Failure mode 1: Internal short circuit.
       Mitigation 1: Qualification and acceptance shock, vibration, thermal cycling, and
       vacuum tests followed by maximum system rate-limited charge and discharge to
       prove that no internal short circuit sensitivity exists.
       Combined faults required for realized failure: Environmental testing AND
       functional charge/discharge tests must both be ineffective in discovery of the
       failure mode.

       Failure Mode 2: Internal thermal rise due to high load discharge rate.
       Mitigation 2: Cells were tested in lab for high load discharge rates in a variety of
       flight-like configurations to determine likelihood and impact of an out of
       control thermal rise in the cell. Cells were also tested in a hot environment to test
       the upper limit of the cells capability. No failures were seen.
       Combined faults required for realized failure: Spacecraft thermal design must be
       incorrect AND external over-current detection and disconnect function must fail
       to enable this failure mode.

       Failure Mode 3: Excessive discharge rate or short circuit due to external device
       failure or terminal contact with conductors not at battery voltage levels (due to
       abrasion or inadequate proximity separation).
       Mitigation 3: This failure mode is negated by a) qualification-tested short circuit

HawkEye 360, Inc.                          - 10 -                                            Exhibit D


       protection on each external circuit, b) design of battery packs and insulators such
       that no contact with nearby board traces is possible without being caused by some
       other mechanical failure, c) obviation of such other mechanical failures by proto-
       qualification and acceptance environmental tests (shock, vibration, thermal
       cycling, and thermal-vacuum tests).
       Combined faults required for realized failure: An external load must fail/short-
       circuit AND external over-current detection and disconnect function failure must
       all occur to enable this failure mode.

       Failure Mode 4: Inoperable vents.
       Mitigation 4: Battery vents are not inhibited by the battery holder design or the
       spacecraft.
       Combined effects required for realized failure: The final assembler fails to install
       proper venting.

       Failure Mode 5: Crushing.
       Mitigation 5: This mode is negated by spacecraft design. There are no moving
       parts in the proximity of the batteries.
       Combined faults required for realized failure: A catastrophic failure must occur
       in an external system AND the failure must cause a collision sufficient to crush
       the batteries leading to an internal short circuit AND the satellite must be in a
       naturally sustained orbit at the time the crushing occurs.

       Failure Mode 6: Low level current leakage or short-circuit through battery pack
       case or due to moisture-based degradation of insulators.
       Mitigation 6: These modes are negated by a) battery holder/case design made of
       non-conductive plastic, and b) operation in vacuum such that no moisture can
       affect insulators.
       Combined faults required for realized failure: Abrasion or piercing failure of
       circuit board coating or wire insulators AND dislocation of battery packs AND
       failure of battery terminal insulators AND failure to detect such failure modes in
       environmental tests must occur to result in this failure mode.

       Failure Mode 7: Excess temperatures due to orbital environment and high
       discharge combined.
       Mitigation 7: The spacecraft thermal design will negate this possibility. Thermal
       rise has been analyzed in combination with space environment temperatures
       showing that batteries do not exceed normal allowable operating temperatures
       which are well below temperatures of concern for explosions. This design has
       been verified through the GHGSat-D and other SFL missions.
       Combined faults required for realized failure: Thermal analysis AND thermal
       design AND mission simulations in thermal-vacuum chamber testing AND over-
       current monitoring and control must all fail for this failure mode to occur.

 Requirement 4.4-2: Design for passivation after completion of mission operations while
 in orbit about Earth or the Moon.

HawkEye 360, Inc.                         - 11 -                                            Exhibit D


Design of all spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stages shall include the ability to
deplete all onboard sources of stored energy and disconnect all energy generation
sources when they are no longer required for mission operations or post-mission disposal
or control to a level which cannot cause an explosion or deflagration large enough to
release orbital debris or break up the spacecraft (Requirement 56450).
Compliance statement: COMPLIANT
Onboard sources of energy include onboard batteries for energy storage. The battery charge
circuits include overcharge protection to limit the risk of battery failure. And as previously
mentioned, the integrated burst disc should prevent any explosion altogether. However, in the
unlikely event that a battery cell does explosively rupture, the small size, mass, and potential
energy, of these small batteries is such that while the spacecraft could be expected to vent
gases, most debris from the battery rupture should be contained within the vessel due to the
lack of penetration energy. There is no expectation of producing orbital debris or spacecraft
breakup from an unlikely battery explosion.


 Requirement 4.4-3. Limiting the long-term risk to other space systems from planned
 breakups.
 Planned explosions or intentional collisions shall:
 a. Be conducted at an altitude such that for orbital debris fragments larger than 10 cm the object-
 time product does not exceed 100 object-years (Requirement 56453). For example, if the debris

 fragments can be generated by the breakup.
 b. Not generate debris larger than 1 mm that remains in Earth orbit longer than one year
 (Requirement 56454).
 Compliance statement: Not applicable; there are no planned breakups.


 Requirement 4.4-4: Limiting the short-term risk to other space systems from planned
 breakups.
 Immediately before a planned explosion or intentional collision, the probability of debris, orbital
 or ballistic, larger than 1 mm colliding with any operating spacecraft within 24 hours of the
 breakup shall be verified to not exceed 10^-6 (Requirement 56455).
 Compliance statement: N/A; There are no planned breakups.

 operating in Earth orbit.
 For each spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stage in or passing through LEO, the
 program or project shall demonstrate that, during the orbital lifetime of each spacecraft
 and orbital stage, the probability of accidental collision with space objects larger than 10 cm in
 diameter is less than 0.001 (Requirement 56506).
 Compliance Statement: COMPLIANT

Large Object Impact and Debris Generation Probability: Collision Probability: < 0.00032

Supporting Deployment and Collision Risk Analysis
The above collision probability is a product of NASA's DAS 2.1.1 software. The given
probability is the sum of the individual collision probabilities of each of the 80 satellites,
resulting in an analysis for the entire 80 satellite constellation.

 Requirement 4.5-2: Limiting debris generated by collisions with small objects when
 operating in Earth or lunar orbit.
 For each spacecraft, the program or project shall demonstrate that, during the mission of
 the spacecraft, the probability of accidental collision with orbital debris and meteoroids
 sufficient to prevent compliance with the applicable post-mission disposal requirements is
 less than 0.01 (Requirement 56507).
 Compliance Statement: COMPLIANT

 DAS Analysis for Small Object Impact and Debris Generation Probability:
 COMPLIANT.

 HE360 satellites do not have any subsystems required for a post-mission disposal maneuver
 and do not have any subsystems accomplishing passivation.



   8. ODAR Section 6: Assessment of Spacecraft Post-mission Disposal
      Plans and Procedures

Description of spacecraft disposal option selected: The HE360 satellites will be disposed of by
atmospheric re-entry.

Identification of all systems or components required to accomplish any post-mission
disposal operation, including passivation and maneuvering: DSI Comet-1000 propulsion
system for spacecraft in orbits above 600 km in altitude.

Plan for any spacecraft maneuvers required to accomplish post-mission disposal:
At the end of mission, spacecraft above an altitude of 600 km will be maneuvered to set the
altitude of perigee at 600 km or less and then will be allowed to decay naturally. The delta-v
required for this maneuver, in the worst case of a starting 650 km circular orbit, is less than half
the expected remaining delta-v at the end of the mission. For all planned altitudes (between 500


HawkEye 360, Inc.                           - 13 -                                           Exhibit D


km and 650 km) and inclinations (between 5 deg and 97 deg), the spacecraft will de-orbit by
atmospheric re-entry in less than 25 years. It should be noted that this presents the worst-case
scenario. Any remaining fuel at EOM can be used to further decrease the perigee and
significantly reduce the post-operations lifetime.

Calculation of area-to-mass ratio after post-mission disposal, if the controlled reentry
option is not selected:
       Spacecraft Mass after disposal maneuver: 30 kg
       Cross-sectional Area:
               Maximum Drag Area: 0.456 m2 (drag area)
               Average Drag Area: 0.273 m2 (drag area)
               Minimum Drag Area: 0.090 m2 (drag area)

       Average area to mass ratio when no disposal maneuver required: 0.00918 m 2/kg
       Average area to mass ratio when disposal maneuver required: 0.00910 m 2/kg
