Prior to a launch, U.S. government agencies review information regarding satellites and other “payloads” onboard the launch vehicle, including assessing whether the satellites have all necessary licensing and approvals, such as an FCC license. The event will feature speakers from across the U.S. government to discuss the respective roles of those agencies during this process, describe challenges for both government and industry, and identify ways to alleviate burdens throughout the process so satellite operators can prepare for successful and timely reviews.
