There is increasing concern about the proposed deployment of tens of thousands of small satellites in constellations deployed in low-Earth orbit (LEO) without new more strict procedures being agreed for removal of satellites at end of life under more stringent and mandatory processes. This chapter provides the full text of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s analysis of the proliferation of satellite being deployed in LEO. Recent filings to deploy even larger small satellite constellations and increased congestion in the orbital altitudes between 700 and 1000 km have only served to increase concerns since this FCC analysis was published.
