The company ignored an FCC decision and launched four tiny satellites earlier this year.
A startup that launched satellites without permission is getting fined nearly a million dollars.
The Federal Communications Commission said on Thursday it has settled with Swarm Technologies over the unauthorized launch and operation of the company’s small satellites. Swarm will pay $900,000 and is required to submit pre-launch notices to the Commission going forward, the FCC’s said in a statement.
The settlement comes almost a year after the Silicon Valley startup launched satellites without authorization.
