September 27, 2021 |Satellite

SpaceX, when putting forth two different configurations for its proposed second-generation constellation, should have sought waiver of rules requiring applicants provide a complete, single-system proposal to the FCC for consideration, EchoStar/Hughes told the International Bureau Thursday. It said SpaceX also should have to explain how two configurations in a single application benefits the public interest. SpaceX didn't comment Friday.
