@1a1nC@mastodon.online Yes, exactly. How does the US FCC become the world’s space regulator? Another question: are non-US satellites & space-things also regulated by the US FCC? How is the regulation of ‘space’ regulated in general? 🤔 #space #spaceRegulation #USFCC #US_FCC @sundogplanets@mastodon.social

@1a1nC@mastodon.online @sundogplanets@mastodon.social @Su_G@aus.social Under international law, the US is responsible for US launches and US registered spacecraft. Outer Space Treaty Art. 7-8. Under US law the FAA, NOAA, and the FCC regulate different aspects of spaceflight. The rough breakdown is: FAA - Launch to orbit NOAA - Remote sensing on orbit FCC - Communications on orbit In normal times, you'd want to complain to your government, who would talk to the US. #Space

@1a1nC@mastodon.online You can submit a comment if you live outside the US. But yes, it's a really bad system!
