Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency) approved this Friday (28) the right to explore satellites for the companies SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, and Swarm.
The license was granted for the Starlink non-geostationary satellite system to Space Exploration until March 2027. SpaceX intends to put a total of 4,408 satellites into orbit.
Anatel also allowed the use of radio frequencies for the Swarm Technologies satellite system until September 2035.
According to Anatel, any change in the number of satellites will require a new authorization from the agency.
