That accounts for access to space.

Like it or not, there are astronomers pretty pissed off about Starlink & co.

https://twitter.com/superasassn has been pretty open about it, for example. https://twitter.com/89Marvaz/status/1196356715270291456 as well.

Do you have any details about this? As an amateur astronomer I am concerned about increased number of objects in orbit and their eventual fate. How the quality of deorbiting system measured? Have they deorbited any yet and their success rate is higher than others? Also I had no idea FCC approves satellite guidance systems, I thought they mostly supervise radio spectrum.

I came across this. Someone tried to put the facts together from original sources. If you read the links report back. I’d be curious what your opinions are.

Every country is supposed to regulate space debris, and in the US, that happens to have been assigned to the FCC. BTW, many people in the industry thinks that the international standard of 25 years needs to be strengthened.
