Simington Condemns Russia Anti-Missile Test
"No one owns space. And no one should intentionally make it more difficult to use," FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington said Tuesday, condemning Russia's test Monday of an anti-satellite missile and the resulting orbital debris. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the test created more than 1,500 pieces of trackable orbital debris and will likely result in hundreds of thousands of smaller pieces.
