  • Classification of Geosynchronous Objects
    esoc European Space Operations Centre Robert-Bosch-Strasse 5 D-64293 Darmstadt Germany T +49 (0)6151 900 www.esa.int CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS Produced with the DISCOS Database Prepared by ESA’s Space Debris Office Reference GEN-DB-LOG-00211-OPS-GR Issue 20 Revision 0 Date of Issue 28 May 2018 Status Issued Document Type Technical Note Distribution ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution European Space Agency Agence spatiale europeenne´ Abstract This is a status report on geosynchronous objects as of 1 January 2018. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1523 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 0 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 519 are actively controlled, 795 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 189 are in a libration orbit and 19 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 1 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 59 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 54 have not been cata- logued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1582.

Introduction. We have before us a petition filed by Iridium Communications, Inc. (Iridium) for waiver of several part 80 rules to permit vessels to select Iridium for the provision of Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) mobile satellite service.1 For the reasons discussed below, we grant the request subject to certain conditions. 2. Background. The GMDSS is “[a]n International Maritime Organization (IMO) worldwide coordinated maritime distress system designed to provide the rapid transfer of distress messages from vessels in distress to units best suited for giving or coordinating assistance.”2 Until recently, Inmarsat, Inc. (Inmarsat) was the sole mobile satellite service operator recognized by the IMO to provide GMDSS mobile satellite service, and the part 80 rules require certain vessels to carry an Inmarsat ship earth station.3 The IMO, however, recently recognized Iridium as a second provider of maritime distress and safety communications within the GMDSS, and amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (Safety Convention) that allow Iridium equipment to be carried in satisfaction of the GMDSS requirements will go into effect on January 1, 2020.4 In addition, the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO) issued a Letter of Compliance on December 19, 2019, verifying that Iridium is ready to begin providing its GMDSS service.

  • FCC FACT SHEET* Streamlining Licensing Procedures for Small Satellites Report and Order, IB Docket No
    FCC FACT SHEET* Streamlining Licensing Procedures for Small Satellites Report and Order, IB Docket No. 18-86 Background: The Commission’s part 25 satellite licensing rules, primarily used by commercial systems, group satellites into two general categories—geostationary-satellite orbit systems and non-geostationary-satellite orbit (NGSO) systems—for purposes of application processing. The Commission’s satellite licensing rules, in particular those applicable to commercial operations, were generally not developed with small satellite systems in mind, and uniformly impose fees and regulatory requirements appropriate to expensive, long-lived missions. However, the Commission has recognized that smaller, less expensive satellites, known colloquially as “small satellites” or “small sats,” have gained popularity among satellite operators, including for commercial operations. Therefore, in 2018, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that proposed to develop a new authorization process tailored specifically to small satellite operations, keeping in mind efficient use of spectrum and mitigation of orbital debris. What the Report and Order Would Do: • Create an alternative, optional application process within part 25 of the Commission’s rules for small satellites. This streamlined process would be an addition to, and not replace, the existing processes for satellite authorization under parts 5 (experimental), 25, and 97 (amateur) of the Commission’s rules. • This new streamlined application process could be used by applicants for satellites and satellite systems meeting certain qualifying characteristics, such as: . 10 or fewer satellites under a single authorization. Total in-orbit lifetime of satellite(s) of six years or less. Maximum individual satellite wet mass of 180 kg. Propulsion capabilities or deployment below 600 km altitude.
