Are they US satellites because the reception dishes are here?

Because thy are manufactured here?

Because they are launched here?

Because the company that runs them is located here?

Any or all of those situations can change and the FCC would be SOL.

A former Google employee and a former Apple employee joined forces to form Swarm Technologies. Business is located in Pasadena, Ca.

The size of the satellites is four by four by one inch, with extensible whip antenna. The included radar retro-reflectors were determined to be insufficient for assured ability to track for the purpose of determining an intersecting orbit. The evaluation determined a redesign was in order due to safety considerations for manned and other equipment in space, which could maneuver to dodge known and tracked devices and debris.
