The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a final rule that allows Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operators to use a specific spectrum band (5030-5091 MHz) for communication. This rule introduces Part 88, which includes service guidelines for obtaining temporary frequency assignments in this band, managed by dynamic frequency management systems (DFMSs) to ensure safe and efficient use. The rule aims to enhance the integration of UAS operations into controlled airspace by providing reliable communication channels necessary for safe operation. The effectiveness of the rule begins February 7, 2025, although some parts will be delayed pending further notice.

The Federal Communications Commission's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau is requesting feedback on how to select a Space Launch Frequency Coordinator as part of the Space Launch Service. They propose a process where interested parties can submit applications online showcasing their qualifications, including technical expertise and an ability to prevent conflicts of interest. Comments on this proposal are due by January 22, 2025. The selected coordinator must handle coordination between Federal and non-Federal operations in specific frequency bands and must agree to work under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commission.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has implemented new rules to manage the use of certain frequency bands for commercial space launches. This is part of the Launch Communications Act, which requires the FCC to regulate spectrum usage for space operations, ensuring cooperation between various users to avoid interference. The 2360-2395 MHz band has now been allocated for space launch operations, with specific technical and licensing rules to ensure the protection of existing users. These new rules aim to streamline the licensing and coordination process for space launches, making it simpler and more efficient for new and existing space launch providers.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has released a Public Notice proposing new licensing and coordination procedures for its Space Launch Service. The FCC is seeking public comments on these proposals, which include requirements for registering launch sites, coordinating frequencies, and detailing technical data necessary for space launches. The Notice also mentions that frequency coordination will involve collaborating with Federal and non-Federal entities and introduces new regulations to streamline the authorization process for space launches. Comments on the proposals must be submitted by January 22, 2025.
