Meta Aerospace Seeks FCC Deal OK After Buying Orbital Effects

Having inadvertently not filed a transfer of control application before Meta Aerospace's purchase of Orbital Effects, they asked the FCC to approve retroactively the transfer of control of R2 and its earth exploration satellite service license, per an International Bureau application Friday. They said Orbital is trying to provide broader services to the U.S. military and commercial enterprises needing high-resolution imagery 24 hours a day.
