Professor Mark Sundahl was quoted extensively in an October 16 article in telecom industry news site Communications Daily.  The article, FCC’s Orbital Debris Fine May Influence Small Space Operator Behavior, examines the FCC’s recent fining of Dish Network for failing to move its defunct satellite into the proper “graveyard orbit” due to a lack of remaining fuel. In the article, Professor Sundahl explains that as a result of the fine it’s likely that “space operators will be much more diligent about tracking their fuel consumption and maybe not try to squeeze quite so much operational life out of their satellites.” He added that the risk of receiving such fines “could lead to industry standards on fuel consumption.”
