Yes. A private operator must also receive approval from other U.S. Government agencies for other aspects of their systems. Specifically, a private operator is required to obtain a launch license from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration if its satellite is to be launched from a U.S. territory. In addition, a private operator is required to obtain approval of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for its use of radio frequency spectrum. Remotely-sensed data are not subject to export control. However, technical data related to the design or operation of satellites and ground receiving stations currently require export licenses. If a private remote-sensing satellite operator wishes to export equipment or technology to support its system, that operator may first require the appropriate export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (for items on the Commerce Control List) or the U.S. Department of State’s Offic
