| here is the actual rule spaceX is (supposedly) violating:
|
| https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/25.112
|
| It simply says applications should be complete. SpaceX's
| application is complete as far as I can tell.
|
| What's really weird, the Amazon application is very INCOMPLETE.
| How in the world is amazon complaining here?
|
| SpaceX identifies two possible launch vehicles. Does anyone know
| what Amazon will be using for their constellation? How about
| pinning that down first before complaining that SpaceX has two
| options on table.
|
| As to the law:
|
| I could find nothing that a company can propose only one
| constellation. That's not in the law. Amazon cites 47 C.F.R. SS
| 25.112(a)(1)
|
| Which says
|
| "The application is defective with respect to completeness of
| answers to questions, informational showings, internal
| inconsistencies, execution, or other matters of a formal
| character;"
|
| There is nothing in here about not being allowed to have options.
