The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the U.S. government that regulates communications by radio, television, wire, internet, Wi-Fi, satellite, and cable. Within the space industry, the FCC, particularly through its Space Bureau, leads policy and licensing matters related to satellite and space-based communications activities. It authorizes satellite and earth station systems, streamlines regulatory processes, and fosters efficient use of spectrum and orbital resources, coordinating with other agencies on space policy. The FCC also regulates space launch operations and orbital debris mitigation.
