Summary
The satellite named STARLINK-1058 (OBJECT_ID: 2019-074BC) is a Starlink communication satellite launched by SpaceX on November 11, 2019, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 40 using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It measures 0.2 meters in length with a diameter of 2.8 meters and a span of 9 meters. The satellite has a dry mass of 248 kg and a launch mass of 260 kg. It is equipped with Ku/Ka-band payload (all) and optical inter-satellite links (for a few prototypes), powered by solar arrays and batteries, and uses krypton ion thrusters as its motor system. Its shape is described as box plus pan, and it operates for communication purposes in orbit.
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.
