SpaceX has overcome a major regulatory hurdle in its ambitious plan to provide global Internet connectivity from space. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the company's request to launch an additional 7 518 satellites into space on 15 November 2018. SpaceX now has permission to launch nearly 12 000 satellites into orbit following an earlier approval by the FCC in March 2018 for a constellation of 4 425 satellites. SpaceX has also been authorised to add 37.5-42.0 GHz and 47.2-50.2 GHz frequency bands to its previously authorised non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) constellation.
