The International Space Station (ISS) operates at an orbital altitude of roughly 400 kilometers. The Station has had to maneuver to avoid orbital debris three times this year and faced several other dangerous events according to NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. Image: NASA

SpaceX and Amazon have joined forces for supporting new orbital debris mitigation and avoidance rules for the FCC to employ. Both companies have teamed up to ensure that non-U.S. satellite operators that have been licensed by the Commission to provide coverage to American consumers follow the same set of rules when designing their satellites for debris avoidance.
