Space Bureau Proposes New Rules for Non-Geostationary Satellite Communications

The Space Bureau has proposed new rules aimed at refreshing the regulatory framework for non-geostationary satellite communications. This initiative is particularly focused on permitting the use of additional frequency bands for these satellites to communicate with Earth stations in motion, which is crucial for enhancing satellite communication capabilities.

The Bureau has also extended the deadlines for comments and reply comments regarding a notice of proposed rulemaking that seeks to facilitate more intensive use of the upper microwave spectrum, indicating an ongoing commitment to refining the operational parameters for satellite networks.
