The next generation of satellites deserves a next-generation rulebook

Since the dawn of the space age, satellites have transformed how we communicate, navigate, defend our nation and understand our world. Today, the next era of satellite connectivity is already underway. Companies are investing billions of dollars in a new generation of non-geostationary satellite (NGSO) systems that will expand broadband access, strengthen national security, power global commerce and bring communities online in ways that were unimaginable just a decade ago. But to get the maximum benefit from this next generation of satellites, we need new space policies built for the future.
