The FCC has introduced a plan to give commercial space companies like SpaceX access to the spectrum they need to perform missions. The plan will allow companies to apply for spectrum on a temporary basis so they can safely operate their missions, as scheduled.

As it stands now, companies like SpaceX (with its Dragon resupply missions to the ISS and Falcon9 rocket launches), andXCOR Aerospace and Space Expedition Corporation (who have introduced the LINX for quick trips to space and back) must request spectrum on an as-needed basis.

And there are no insurances that they’ll get what they need, when they need it, to facilitate communication with these space crafts.
