Orbital Datacenter Plans Need an Environmental Review, FCC Told

Environmental groups want America's FCC "to slam the brakes on orbital datacenters," writes The Register. They're arguing for an environmental impact assessment for what could be 1 million satellites: Earthjustice, acting on behalf of DarkSky International, Environment America, and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), filed a petition this week... The filing doesn't target any single company. Instead, it asks the regulator to put the entire emerging orbital datacenter sector... Read more
