Honestly this is mostly fair. The fine is small but non-negligible. The infraction here is really the poor propellant tracking which is a mistake, not some nefarious plot or gross negligence. The satellite didn’t quite make the graveyard orbit but it’s out of the way. Tracking in GEO is only getting better, so it’s not really a debris risk. But you do have to issue fines to signal to the industry that getting deorbit plans wrong has a consequence. |
