surveillance, assembly, repair, or servicing of any spacecraft (for example, refuelling) and have integrated propulsion other than that required for attitude control;
 (11) provide for sub‑orbital or in‑space human habitation and have integrated propulsion other than that required for attitude control;
 (12) that are not commercial communications satellites and that have integrated propulsion other than for attitude control or achieving initial orbit;
 (13) are classified, contain classified software or hardware, are manufactured using classified production data, or are being developed using classified information (for example, having classified requirements, specifications, functions, or operational characteristics or include classified cryptographic items controlled under Category XIII of this list).
Note 1: This paragraph does not control the International Space Station (ISS) and its specially designed parts and components.
Note 2: Attitude control is the exercise of control over spacecraft orientation (for example, pointing) within an orbital plane, which may include orbit maintenance using the attitude control thrusters.
Note 3: Subparagraph (7)—Ground Sample Distance (GSD) is measured from a spacecraft's nadir (that is, local vertical) position.
Note 4: Subparagraph (7)—optical remote sensing spacecraft or satellite spectral bandwidth is the smallest difference in wavelength (that is, Δλ) that can be distinguished at full width at half maximum (FWHM) of wavelength λ.
Note 5: Subparagraph (7)—an optical satellite or spacecraft is not Significant Military Equipment.
Note 6: Subparagraph (9)—this subparagraph does not control a satellite or spacecraft that provides only a differential correction broadcast for the purposes of positioning, navigation, or timing.
 (b) Ground control systems or training simulators, specially designed for telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C) of spacecraft in paragraph (a)).
 (c) Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving equipment specifically designed for military application or GPS receiving equipment with any of the following characteristics, and specifically designed parts and components therefor:
 (1) specially designed for encryption or decryption (for example, Y‑Code) of GPS precise positioning service (PPS) signals (MT if designed or modified for airborne applications);
 (2) [Reserved]
 (3) specifically designed for use with a null steering antenna, an electronically steerable antenna or including a null steering antenna designed to reduce or avoid jamming signals (MT if designed or modified for airborne applications);
 (4) specially designed for use with rockets, missiles, SLVs, drones or unmanned air vehicle systems capable of delivering at least a 500 kg payload to a range of at least 300 km (MT if designed or modified for rockets, missiles, SLVs, drones or unmanned air vehicle systems controlled in this list).
Note: Subparagraph (4)—"Payload" is the total mass that can be carried or delivered by the specified rocket, missile, SLV, drone or unmanned aerial vehicle that is not used to maintain flight. For the definition of "range" as it pertains to rocket systems, see
