International Bureau Creates Online Directory of Satellites

The FCC International Bureau created an online directory of all satellites authorized under Part 25 rules or granted access to U.S. markets, the Satellite Division said in a public notice in Friday's Daily Digest. The directory includes orbital location, satellite system name or call sign, operator name, frequencies, licensing administration and launch date. The bureau said creation of the list was a recommendation of the 2014 report on FCC process reform and part of Part 25 rules updates the FCC OK'ed last year (see 1512170036). The bureau said directory corrections and questions can be sent to satinfo@fcc.gov.
