Dear Ms. Dortch:

         This is to inform you that on March 27, 2019, Patricia Cooper and David Goldman
representing Space Exploration Holdings, LLC (“SpaceX”) met with Rachael Bender, Wireless
and International Advisor for Chairman Pai, to discuss the above referenced application to modify
SpaceX’s existing authorization to deploy and operate a non-geostationary orbit (“NGSO”)
satellite system.

        During the meeting, SpaceX discussed its response to the Bureau’s request for further
technical information with respect to its modification application, 1 noting even the initial version
of its new satellite design will meet or exceed all Commission requirements for orbital debris
mitigation and collision avoidance. Moreover, SpaceX described its plan to introduce a totally
demisable spacecraft design for its subsequent iteration of satellites, which will then reduce
casualty risk to zero. Even including the initial iteration, SpaceX has improved the safety of its
constellation by more than 90% since its initital application, which was already compliant with all
Commission debris mitigation and collision avoidance rules.

                                                   Sincerely,




                                                   William M. Wiltshire
                                                   Counsel to SpaceX
