SpaceX, Amazon at Odds Over Kuiper Debris Mitigation

SpaceX and Amazon's Kuiper disagree about Kuiper's orbital debris remediation plans for its proposed satellite constellation. In a letter Wednesday to the FCC International Bureau, SpaceX said Kuiper promises to limit conjunction risks while deorbiting and to cooperate with other operators, but it's not giving technical details that can substantiate such pledges. Last month Amazon said concerns raised by commenters about its orbital debris mitigation plan were "unfounded and represent no reason to delay grant of the application."
