— Russia refuses to launch UK's OneWeb satellites unless demands are met
They request that the regulatory commission "negate all prior-filed comments by either party against SpaceX's and OneWeb's 2016 Processing Round and 2020 Processing Round [applications]…" And, in light of their newfound harmony, SpaceX and OneWeb request that the FCC "quickly approve each second-round system so that they may begin deploying these cutting-edge systems."
For SpaceX, second-round approval would mean clearing another hurdle toward an operational Starship mission. Starship, the company's massive new spacecraft under development, passed an environmental review by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration earlier this month, putting the vehicle one step closer to an orbital test flight.
SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk recently tweeted a video depicting Starship's planned Pez-like deployment of the heftier Starlink 2.0 satellite, which will be too massive for either SpaceX's Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy rockets to launch efficiently.
