NOAA VIDEO FOR YOU

I was like WTF? As usual, Eric Berger came through with a story on this: NOAA VIDEO FOR YOU ? NOAA just prevented SpaceX from showing its rocket in orbit "SpaceX will be intentionally ending live video coverage of the 2nd stage." ERIC BERGER - 3/30/2018, 12:52 PM https://arstechnica.com/science/2018...-a-rocket-but- noaa-prevented-some-of-it-from-being-shown/ NOAA's response: http://www.noaa.gov/media-release/no...-broadcast-of- spacex-iridium-5-launch What's interesting to me is what if that GoPro camera is on the satellite not the 2nd stage? Then seems like US restrictions might only apply when the carriage is still over US airspace? How can NOAA enforce regulations against foreign sat carriers that are already in orbit? You'd get "good" pictures until that last sat was ejected. Yes it's a US rocket being launched by a US corporation, but the satellite as often as not is non-US and an orbit by definition is outside US airspace. Seems like it then becomes treaty obligation time to me rather than US code. If it's on a US launcher, US code applies. -- "It's always different. It's always complex.
