#TAMPA, Fla. — International regulators are set to allow technical studies for changing #satellite transmission power limits on the condition that there would not be any regulatory action resulting from them until at least 2031.
The compromise follows weeks of talks about reviewing Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) limits, a divisive issue in the space industry affecting how powerful non-geostationary (NGSO) satellite signals should be to avoid disrupting geostationary spacecraft.
NGSO newcomers including #SpaceX and Amazon argue that EPFD rules are outdated after being created more than a decade ago, constraining their constellation plans more than necessary to protect satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO).
