Satcom Agitation Against Anti-Satellite Weaponry Growing

The commercial satcom world is increasingly worried about anti-satellite weaponry and testing. Such weapons "can destroy many space activities for our lifetime," OneWeb and O3b founder Greg Wyler tweeted Friday. "Unfortunately there are lots of them. It’s a huge diode threat to the benefits of space." Planet Labs co-founders Will Marshall and Robbie Schingler said last week they were "irresponsible" and urged the U.S. "to lead an international effort to prohibit the use of debris-creating anti-satellite weapons."
