SpaceX Pushes Pai Again on Launch Spectrum Allocation

SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell met last week with Chairman Ajit Pai to push for the agency to move on its 2013 NPRM about allocating spectrum for commercial space launches. In an ex parte filing posted Tuesday in docket 13-115, SpaceX said such an allocation would help streamline launch spectrum licensing. The company has met twice with Pai about launch spectrum allocations (see 1703140048). The company also backed the pending NPRM on the update to Part 2 and 25 rules.
