Jurisdictional Challenges for Orbital Data Centers in the Emerging Space Economy — Part 1 The convergence of AI and orbital infrastructure has prompted major technology companies to race to deploy data centres in low Earth orbit. That commercial push is colliding with unclear jurisdictional, licensing and liability regimes for on‑orbit services, raising urgent legal and governance questions for regulators and operators.

FCC to vote on updated EPFD rules for GEO–NGSO spectrum sharing The FCC will vote later this month on an order revising the Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) framework that governs spectrum sharing between geostationary (GEO) and non‑geostationary (NGSO) satellite systems. The change aims to clarify interference limits and coordination procedures that affect licensing and large LEO constellations.

Improved SSA accuracy and tighter conjunction thresholds could eliminate most LEO collision risk Improving space‑situational awareness (SSA) accuracy and adopting stricter thresholds for flagging potential conjunctions could eliminate the majority of satellite collision risk in low Earth orbit. The finding shifts the operational focus toward better sensing, tracking and data quality rather than continual avoidance maneuvers.
