Pennies. That's all I read.

Seems to be for one satellite. So let’s hold onto hope they keep racking up the fines.

Yes but you see, all I see is them rather paying the small fine instead of doing things properly. Sometimes the fines are cheaper than doing the right thing and following procedures. The cycle continues.
