Each carries the notice (report number, kind, release date, DA number, links), the FCC file number (SAT-MOD-20260603-00225) and its type code, the call sign, the applicant as printed, the printed Date filed, the filing type, and on Actions Taken notices the action and its printed Date of Action, plus the entry text verbatim. Values are what each notice prints \u2014 the same filing can be listed in several notices and can print a different Date filed or applicant name in each. The notices carry no status history and omit filings the FCC never notices; they are the FCC's public announcement record, not its full docket. Filings before the cutover are space.satellite_filings (the IBFS docket, whose bulk dump stopped updating on 2026-07-16). A filing is an authorization request or action, never a satellite count, an orbital catalog or launch activity.",
