Myriota Says Launch Bottleneck Necessitates NVNG Constellation Changes

Citing a growing bottleneck of launch services, Myriota wants to amend its pending U.S. market access petition to provide non-voice, non-geostationary mobile-satellite service in the 137-138 MHz and 148-150.05 MHz bands. In an FCC Space Bureau application Tuesday, it said the proposed changes would adjust the positioning of the 26 satellites to ensure deployment "despite the inflexible launch market."
