😲💥 Officially called space debris yeah? It get tings like old satellites and parts of spacecraft inside there too. Da FCC said that Dish’s satellite was posing potential risk to other satellites orbiting the Earth at its current altitude where it stay now.
Dish’s EchoStar-7 – which was first launched in 2002 – was hanging out in geostationary orbit starting at 22k miles (36k km) above the surface of our planet earth . But check dis out! The guys supposed to move the satellite further from earth about 186 miles but when it’s life ended in 2022 they only moved em about 76 miles afta running outta fuel ⛽️🤦♂️ As more people start using satellites and as things speed up with economy related to space stuffs , we gotta be sure that operators are following through with what they promise,said Loyaan Egal who heads up the FCC enforcement bureau.
He also said, This is one breakthrough settlement making it very clear that FCC has strong authority and can enforce its super important space debris rules. Even though da $150k fine is just small kine compared to Dish’s overall revenue which was whopping $16.7bn in 2022, it still might make other satellite operators think twice.
