The Federal Communications Commission’s Space Bureau will release guidance on its procedures and authorization requirements for space and earth station operations as part of its transparency initiative for satellite applicants.
FCC said Monday it will host an Open House on Nov. 1 to gather questions from interested parties about the commission’s space station licensing process.
The Space Bureau will post answers to frequently asked questions regarding its authorization procedures and update applicant guides and other explanatory documents as part of the initiative.
“Making sure everyone understands how to be a part of that growth is a crucial part of maintaining U.S. leadership, and increasing competition in the space sector benefits us all,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.
Established in April, the Space Bureau oversees policy and licensing matters related to satellite and space-based communications.
