Southgate News reports that the FCC has rejected a plea for AMSAT to be made exempt from legislation designed to rid space of junk from old or redundant satellites. This is becoming a big issue with lots of junk up there. I can see this being an issue if the owners of small satellites have to plan for the satellite when its useful life is over.
