FCC,小型衛星のライセンス規則を簡素化する見直し案を発表

SpaceNews(7/15)
対象は高度600km以下、質量180kg以下。To qualify for the streamlined licenses, the FCC proposal requires satellites either deploy into orbits below 600 kilometers or carry propulsion systems to deorbit satellites in six years.

Eligible satellites have to weigh 180 kilograms or less (including fuel), and need to be 10 centimeters or larger in their smallest dimension. The licenses are also applicable to a maximum of 10 spacecraft at a time.
