WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Enforcement Bureau of the FCC on Monday announced a settlement of its investigation into DISH for failure to properly deorbit its EchoStar-7 satellite.
It’s a first in space debris enforcement by the Commission, which has stepped up its satellite policy efforts, including establishing the Space Bureau and implementing its Space Innovation Agenda. And, DISH is forking over hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of a Consent Decree, with the money going to the U.S. Treasury.
