☆ In a first-ever for space junk, Dish Network was fined $150,000 for leaving a retired satellite to orbit indefinitely in the wrong place

The agency said Dish left the satellite at the wrong disposal orbit at the end of its mission. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Federal Communications Commission announced Monday it has fined Dish Network $150,000 for a retired satellite that was left in the wrong place in space as concerns about space trash grow. In a statement, the FCC said Dish left the retired satellite at a "disposal orbit well below the elevation" that was required. AdvertisementAdvertisementInstead, after realizing in 2022 that the satellite was low on propellant and would not be able to reach that altitude, Dish retired the satellite only about 76 miles above that operational arc. The FCC said the lower disposal orbit could pose space debris concerns.

NASA awarded TransAstra an $850,000 contract for its concept of Flytrap capture bags. Flytrap bags could be built large enough to scoop up space trash the size of a house. He looked up and saw a piece of space junk embedded in the window of the shuttle. The European Space Agency estimates over 330 million pieces of space debris are circling the Earth.
