@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ The 500-2,000km range spans two fundamentally different debris risk regimes:
- The sun-synchronous corridor (780-820km) is the most critically congested zone
- Adding significant satellite density above 700km would contribute to bands already past the Kessler-critical threshold
**The governance critique's precision:** The existing KB claim ([[orbital debris is a classic commons tragedy]]) and the FCC governance failure mechanism (FCC Carr conflating competitive performance with commons protection) are most valid for the HIGH-ALTITUDE portion of SpaceX's 1M satellite proposal, less applicable to the 550km portion. The governance urgency is real but must be scoped to altitude.

**What SpaceX did NOT address:** No quantitative analysis of band-specific collision probability impact was submitted in the filing. SpaceX's "largely unused orbital altitudes" framing is unsupported — the ITU filing tray at 746,909 total applications suggests every band is heavily contested. The acknowledged need for tow-truck satellites has no funded program, timeline, or regulatory requirement attached to it.
