 beyond our control.

Our
current objectives focus on the continued development of small satellites and integration capabilities and related technology. If we
do not continue this development in our anticipated timeframes, our ability to grow our business will be adversely affected. The successful
development of our satellite capabilities and related technology involves many uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, including,
but not limited to:

    ●
    timing
    in making further enhancements to our product design and specifications; 

    ●
    successful
    completion of our planned commercial satellite launches; 

    ●
    our
    ability to obtain additional applicable approvals, licenses or certifications from regulatory agencies, if required, and maintaining
    current approvals, licenses or certifications; 

    ●
    performance
    of our manufacturing facilities despite risks that disrupt productions, such as natural disasters and hazardous materials; 

    ●
    performance
    of a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and supplied components; 

20

    ●
    performance
    of our third-party contractors that support our future research and development activities; 

    ●
    our
    ability to maintain rights from third parties for intellectual properties critical to our future research and development activities;

    ●
    our
    ability to fund and maintain our future research and development activities, particularly the development of various enhancements
    that increase the data transfer capacity of our satellite; and 

    ●
    the
    impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us, our customers, suppliers and distributors, and the global economy. 

We
routinely conduct hazardous operations in testing our satellite subsystems, which could result in damage to property or persons. Unsatisfactory
performance or failure of our satellites and related technology at launch or during operation could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We
manufacture and operate highly sophisticated products for the commercial space, aerospace and defense industries and conduct activities
that depend on complex technology. Although there have been and will continue to be technological advances in spaceflight, our operations
remain an inherently hazardous and risky activity. Launch failures, explosions and other accidents on launch or during flight have occurred
for others and will likely occur in the future.

While
we have built operational processes to ensure that the design, manufacture, performance and servicing of our products and related technologies
meet rigorous quality standards, there can be no assurance that we will not experience operational or process failures and other problems,
including through manufacturing or design defects, cyber
