The Amazon Kuiper NGSO constellation application is approved by the FCC

February 19, 2023 by editorial

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted, subject to conditions, the application of Kuiper Systems LLC (Kuiper) for modification of its license for a non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite constellation providing fixed-satellite service (FSS) and Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) using Ka-band radio frequencies.

Specifically, the FCC grants Kuiper’s request for approval of its updated orbital debris mitigation plan, thereby satisfying a condition of the agency’s action in 2020 conditionally granting Kuiper’s request to deploy and operate their NGSO system.

This action will allow Kuiper to start deployment of its constellation in order to bring high-speed broadband connectivity to customers around the world. In granting the Amazon Kuiper Systems modification, the FCC considered the issues raised by interested parties in the record.

These issues include, but are not limited to, collision risk, post-mission disposal reliability, completion of satellite design, and orbital separation.

To address these and other issues, the agency requires Kuiper to comply with a series of conditions — to learn more, access the downloaded FCC Order and Authorization document at this direct link.
