Orbital Debris Recon Denial Effective Thursday

The FCC's denial of reconsideration of its 2020 orbital debris order is effective Thursday, said a notice for Thursday's Federal Register. The commissioners approved the orbital debris reconsideration order 5-0 in January (see 2401250064). The order rejected three petitions seeking reconsideration of the 2020 order but provided clarification and guidance on some issues the petitions raised.
