Aside from the proposed overturn of the FCC’s satellite exemption rule, experts propose that companies reduce the reflectiveness of their satellites. However, in the case of SpaceX’s “DarkSat,” the design was abandoned for various engineering reasons. Also, this proposed solution, despite already being nearly impossible to develop, does not acknowledge the space debris created by satellite pollution.
It is unclear when the suggested letter will be presented to the FCC. As of now, US PIRG is calling upon the general public to make some noise about the issue and back their suggested solutions. For those interested, the letter is available on US PIRG’s website, and they encourage those who are passionate about satellite pollution to add their names to the backing signatures.
