A few, but he one that is the closest rubber that hits the road is part of the FCC filing for radio spectrum access on satellite projects. Without which, you're not getting on most rockets.
- dotancohen 5y agoI am not aware of the FCC mandating satellite deorbit plans as a condition for receiving a transmission band.
- Fordec 5y agoSwarm breached the "Mitigation of Orbital Debris Second Report and Order" which has been in place since 2004[0], for their launch on an Indian rocket because their 0.5Us would breach this and their aerodynamics wouldn't comply because the satellites were so small and didn't have enough atmospheric drag to bring them down in time. The tracked by radar aspect was resolvable by Leo Labs radars, but not the atmospheric drag component. FCC subsequently fined them $900k.
