Space environmentalists urge FCC to reject SpaceX's 100,000-satellite plan

Original: The Center for Space Environmentalism has urged the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to dismiss SpaceX’s 100,000-s

The Center for Space Environmentalism has asked the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to dismiss SpaceX's application for its next-generation Starlink constellation of about 100,000 satellites. In its filing, the group argues SpaceX failed to submit a mandatory Orbital Debris Assessment Report and points to runaway collision hazards and mounting risks of space debris in low Earth orbit.

Why now: Concerns over orbital congestion and debris from mega-constellations are growing, and a formal regulatory challenge to SpaceX touches a live and contested issue.
