Summary
STARLINK-75, also known as Starlink 75, is a communication satellite manufactured by SPXS and owned by the same entity. Launched on May 24, 2019, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (AFETR) using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this satellite weighs 227 kg at launch with a dry mass of 219 kg. It is equipped with a Ku-band payload and krypton ion thrusters for propulsion, along with solar arrays and batteries for power generation. The satellite has dimensions of approximately 0.2 meters in length, 2.8 meters in diameter, and spans 9 meters when its components are deployed. Its primary mission involves communication purposes as part of the Starlink constellation.
Starlink is a satellite constellation developed by SpaceX with the aim of providing global broadband internet coverage. Thousands of small satellites are deployed in low Earth orbit (LEO), enabling high-speed internet access even in remote areas. However, the rapid increase in satellites raises concerns about space debris and the potential for collisions, which can lead to further debris creation and endanger other spacecraft. Additionally, the sheer number of Starlink satellites can affect astronomical observations by increasing light pollution. Proper deorbiting plans and international coordination are essential to mitigate these challenges and ensure long-term sustainability in space.
