☆ 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.

☆ FCC enforces first space debris penalty in $150,000 settlement with Dish

Signage is seen at the headquarters of the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, D.C. The Federal Communications Commission announced a settlement with Dish Network on Monday in the regulator's first penalty related to space debris. Dish admitted it was liable for failing to properly dispose of the EchoStar-7 broadcast communications satellite, and agreed to pay a fee of $150,000, the FCC said. Dish launched the EchoStar-7 satellite in 2002 and planned to remove it from service in May 2022. The company had previously agreed to an "orbital debris mitigation plan" with the FCC to relocate the satellite.

☆ DISH gets first-ever space debris fine over EchoStar-7
  + stars: | 2023-10-02 | by ( David Shepardson | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
WASHINGTON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - The Federal Communications Commission said on Monday it has issued its first space debris enforcement fine, of $150,000 for DISH (DISH.O) which failed to properly de-orbit its EchoStar-7 satellite. The wholly owned unit of DISH Network admitted liability and will adhere to a compliance plan, the commission said, adding that the company's action "could pose orbital debris concerns." FCC Enforcement Bureau Chief Loyaan Egal said Monday's announcement "is a breakthrough settlement, making very clear the FCC has strong enforcement authority and capability to enforce its vitally important space debris rules." In February 2022, DISH said "the satellite had very little propellant left, which meant it could not follow the original orbital debris mitigation plan in its license." The FCC in September 2022 voted to adopt new rules to address growing risks of orbital debris to space exploration by shrinking the time to remove defunct satellites.

☆ Truphone to pay $600,000 U.S. fine, ensure Russian ownership divested
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( David Shepardson | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The parent company of a small Montana wireless carrier will pay a $600,000 fine and ensure that any ownership interests by Russian investors is divested, a U.S. agency said on Thursday. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in April said Truphone, the owner of Montana-based iSmart Mobile, had been indirectly controlled by Russian oligarchs since at least 2011. Under the settlement, London-based Truphone will ensure that any stake held by Alexander Abramov, Alexander Frolov or Roman Abramovich will be divested, the FCC said. The FCC had proposed fining Truphone $660,000 in April for failing to disclose accurate ownership stakes held by foreign entities and transferring control of licenses without government approval. Truphone said it will ensure no individuals or entities designated by the Treasury Department's sanction list have any ownership or investment interests.
