Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)

In
August 2023, the FCC approved the LizzieSat-1 launch and operating license for launch and deploy on a SpaceX Falcon 9. In addition, we
filed a Part 25 license request with the FCC for the LizzieSat® constellation through LizzieSat® five mission. The FCC Part 25
license was approved in October 2024.

A
NOAA License request was approved in December 2023 to fly Dragonfly Gecko on LizzieSat® One and Owl and Hawk imagers on LizzieSat®
one through three which detect methane emissions and vegetative stress. When deemed appropriate, the Gecko, Owl, and Hawk images will
be integrated into our Orlaith™ AI ecosystem and fused with Automated Information Systems (AIS) data to enhance detection
of marine traffic and illegal fishing. Any delays in commencing our commercial launch operations, including due to delays or cost overruns
in obtaining NOAA licenses or other regulatory approvals for future operations or frequency requirements, could adversely impact our
results and growth plans.

International
Telecommunications Union (ITU)

We
are required to comply with the laws and regulations of, and often obtain approvals from, national and local authorities in connection
with our services. As we expand service to additional countries and regions, we will become subject to additional governmental approvals
and regulations. We will provide a number of services that rely on the use of radio-frequency spectrum, and the provision of such services
is highly regulated. Satellites are to be operated in a manner consistent with the regulations and procedures of the International Telecommunication
Union (“ITU”), a specialized agency of the United Nations, which require the coordination of the operation of satellite systems
in certain circumstances, and more generally are intended to avoid the occurrence of harmful interference among different users of the
radio spectrum.

We
have received approval of International Telecommunications Union (ITU) spectrum licensing for both X-Band and S-Band frequencies. We
filed for X-Band and S-Band Radio Frequencies licensing in February 2021 and were granted approval through a published filing by the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) on April 4, 2021. The ITU is the specialized agency responsible for principles and licensing
of the use of orbit and spectrum. Before a satellite can use the spectrum and orbital resources it needs to fulfil its mission, it requires
