The FCC statement about "Trackability" and that Jspoc cannot routinely track objects smaller than 10cm is just not true. $50sat (aka Eagle2) was launched in 2013 into a 700 km sun synchronous orbit. The dimensions of that satellite were 5cm x 5cm x 7.5 cm and
updates from Jspoc were routinely published until the satellite re-entered a few weeks ago. This is the satellite referred to in note 25 of the NPRM, comment by Alba Orbital.</div>
