Space Exploration Technologies Corp.'s (SpaceX) request to change its Starlink satellite altitudes has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The International Bureau (IB) adopted the modification last week, but it publicly revealed the decision today. This adoption comes after SpaceX was granted partial authority to launch satellites in polar orbit in January, as the company asked the FCC to partially grant a portion of its request due to the difficulty of placing spacecraft above remote regions.
