 customer safety
and satisfaction, this could cause operational delays. Further, launching satellites within restricted airspace requires advance scheduling
and coordination with government agencies and range owners and other users, and any high priority national defense assets will have priority
in the use of these resources, which may impact our cadence of our space operations or could result in cancellations or rescheduling.
Any operational or manufacturing delays or other unplanned changes to our ability to conduct our launches could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We
may be unable to manage our future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.

If
our operations continue to grow as planned, of which there can be no assurance, we will need to expand our sales and marketing, customer
and commercial strategy, products and services, supply, and manufacturing and distribution functions and initiate research and development.
We will also need to continue to leverage our manufacturing and operational systems and processes, and there is no guarantee that we
will be able to scale the business and the manufacture of spacecraft as currently planned or within the planned timeframe. The continued
expansion of our business may also require additional manufacturing and operational facilities, as well as space for administrative support,
and there is no guarantee that we will be able to find suitable locations or partners for the manufacture and operation of our products.

Our
continued growth could increase the strain on our resources, and we could experience operating difficulties, including difficulties in
hiring, training and managing an increasing number of employees, finding manufacturing capacity to produce our products and related equipment,
and delays in production and launches. These difficulties may result in the erosion of our brand image, divert the attention of management
and key employees and impact financial and operational results. In addition, in order to continue to expand our presence around the globe,
we expect to incur substantial expenses as we continue to attempt to streamline our manufacturing process, increase our launch cadence,
hire more employees, and fund research and development efforts relating to new products and technologies and expand our business. If
we are unable to drive commensurate growth, these costs, which include lease commitments, headcount and capital assets, could result
in decreased margins, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our
prospects and operations may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences and economic conditions that affect demand for
satellite services.

Because
our business is currently concentrated on commercial satellite manufacturing, launch and data services
