FCC hits Dish Network with $150,000 fine in agency’s first-ever space debris penalty

FCC hits Dish Network with $150K fine in agency’s first-ever space debris penalty​

Dish Network has been slapped with a historic $150,000 fine by the Federal Communications Commission for failing to properly deorbit one of its broadcast satellites, creating orbital debris.
The FCC penalized the popular broadcast satellite provider for improperly disposing of its EchoStar-7 satellite in the agency’s first-ever space-debris enforcement measure.
“This is a breakthrough settlement, making very clear the FCC has strong enforcement authority and capability to enforce its vitally important space debris rules,” he added.
The satellite was launched into space by DISH in 2002, according to the FCC.
