Hi, it seems I am able to form a federation by putting a satellite in a space occupied by the Lost planet, which belongs to another player. Reading the rules and searching on the BGG forums, I haven't been able to find if this is legal, but since you cannot put the lost planet on a space with a satellite, I imagine it is not legal to put a satellite on the lost planet's space, so this might be a bug.
See here the lost planet is in the bottom middle sector :
