The United States government has handed out its first-ever fine to a private company that left space junk in orbit.

The failure to dispose of the satellite at the end of its operational life violated the FCC's Communications Act, the commission wrote in a statement published Monday ."This marks a first in space debris enforcement by the Commission, which has stepped up its satellite policy efforts," the FCC pointed out.The FCC issued the fine as part of its efforts to crackdown on irresponsible activity in Earth's orbit.
