Iceye Disputes Starlinks Conditions Argument

SpaceX arguments that Iceye's planned constellation should be subject to the same conditions as SpaceX's second-generation Starlink constellation lacks any explanation about why they should be applied, Iceye told the FCC Space Bureau Monday. It's one of multiple operators SpaceX argued should be subject to conditions similar to second-gen Starlinks (see 2301180049). It said the SpaceX conditions were specific to that company's plans for a 30,000-satellite constellation, while Iceye has authority to launch six satellites and is seeking authority for eight more. SpaceX doesn't assert the conditions on Iceye "are inadequate in any matter," Iceye said.
