Capella Seeks to Add Satellite to Authorization

Capellla Space wants to add a satellite to its Earth Exploration Satellite Service license. In an FCC International Bureau application Monday, Capella asked to modify the orbital characteristics of its Capella-9 satellite and to add Capella-10, which would operate with identical technical parameters and in the same orbital plane. Capella said it has launched seven of the eight satellites the FCC authorized, and Capella-10 would be its ninth, to be launched simultaneously with Capella-9.
