> These will remain on orbit only for a short time. This statement is directly contradicted by the FCC filing: https://apps.fcc.gov/els/GetAtt.html?id=185534&x https://apps.fcc.gov/els/GetAtt.html?id=185534&x > The designed lifetime of each satellite is six months. If this lifetime is exceeded, SpaceX plans to continue operation until such time as the primary mission goals can no longer be met, at which point the spacecraft will be deorbited. The text in this particular filing, if read plainly, would indicate that SpaceX could easily let Microsat-2a and 2b stay in the air potentially through production deployment of Starlink if feasible.
