Dish Network kena fine from US fo’ Space Opala: Da First Time Eva 📡💸🚀🗑️
Dis da first time eva dey doing dis kinda ting! Da Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wen make Dish Network cough up $150,000 (£125,000) cause dem buggahs neva move deir old satellite far enough away from da oddas still in use. Dem guys admit li’dat ova their EchoStar-7 satellite and agree to compliance plan wit FCC.
Space junk is jus like rubbish but floating in space instead of on top the ground – bits of tech dat stay orbiting round our planet but no moa use now and can bang into other stuff out there. Officially called space debris, get all sorts tings inside – like old satellites an parts of spacecraft too. Da FCC say dat Dish’s satellite was posing potential risk to other satellites at its current altitude wea it stay hanging around Earth.
Dish’s EchoStar-7 – which was first launched back in 2002 – been sitting pretty high up dere about 22k miles (36k km) above the surface of our aina . The idea was for dish to move this thing another 186 miles further from us humans down here on earth; however when it came time for retire last year they only managed shift em by bout 76 miles aftah running outta fuel ⛽️🚀 As more people start messing with satellites and as things keep speeding up in the world economy-wise, said Loyaan Egal who heads enforcement bureau over at FCC we gotta be sure that operators are keeping their promises. This is a breakthrough settlement, making very clear the FCC has strong enforcement authority and capability to enforce its vitally important space debris rules.
Da $150k fine might not seem like much compared to Dish’s overall revenue which was a whopping $16.7bn in 2022 but still could make other satellite operators think twice.
