 we rely on a combination of long-standing relationships, strategic partnerships, and direct outreach to
grow our customer base. Across all engagements, we work collaboratively with customers and partners to support their success and
drive mutual growth.

Competition

The
small satellite services industry at-large is highly competitive but has significant barriers to entry, including the cost and difficulty
associated with successfully developing, building, and launching a satellites and obtaining various governmental and regulatory approvals.
In addition to cost, there is a significant amount of lead time associated with obtaining the required licenses, building, and launching
the satellites, and developing and deploying the ground station technology. We currently face substantial general competition from other
service providers that offer a range of space-based data collection options. There are also several competitors working to develop innovative
solutions to compete in this industry.
