SpaceX tries to convince FCC that Amazon put satellites into wrong altitude

SpaceX has accused Amazon of violating orbital debris requirements by launching its Leo satellites 50-90 kilometers higher than authorized, creating collision risks and forcing 30 Starlink avoidance maneuvers after Amazon's February launch. Amazon denied safety violations, arguing its altitudes comply with license terms and noting SpaceX only raised objections after moving Starlink satellites into similar orbital ranges. The dispute highlights growing tensions between the competing satellite internet providers as both expand their constellations in increasingly crowded low-Earth orbit.
