The FCC chair is pushing for tougher space debris rules
Briefly

Under new FCC rules proposed, satellite operators must limit debris-causing incidents to less than 1 in 1,000, aiming to preserve orbital environment and enable new services.
FCC's focus on enforcing deorbiting rules for satellites after mission end, exemplified by fining Dish for non-compliance, aligns with global efforts towards orbital debris mitigation.
NASA's recent report highlights cost-effective ways to reduce orbital debris, such as nudging debris, quick deorbiting, and tracking trash, while international commitments like ESA's Zero Debris Charter aim for 'debris neutral' status by 2030.
