There is a clause in the U.S. export regs that says that rocket launches
don't count as export. This basically covers communications satellites
which use a lot of otherwise restricted aerospace technology.

Some folks in the bay area actually thought of making a road trip down
to San Diego with a bunch of DAT tapes and some of the larger Estes
offerings, but they asked a lawyer first.

It's export when it touches down. Thge exepmption is for things going
up and staying there.


It probably *is* legal if you launch it into orbit, sell it there,
and the buyer deorbits it. But that's an infeasibly high
cost barrier for the moment.
