The U.S. has issued the world’s first-ever fine for space debris

The difficulty is that so far there are no legislative acts on the use of space, everything was carried out under a personal contract between Dish and the regulator. Representatives of the company insist that they took the satellite far enough away from the important orbit, and the very requirements to reach a certain burial orbit are not formalized and illegal. However, the Federal Communications Commission issues permits for signal broadcasting activities and has the authority to deny operation to those who do not comply with its terms.
