Summary

The satellite named STARLINK-1695, also known as Starlink 1695, is a communication satellite under the Starlink constellation manufactured by SpaceX (SPXS). Launched on September 3, 2020, from Launch Pad LC39A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, it has a dry mass of 248 kilograms and a launch mass of 260 kilograms. The satellite is equipped with Ku/Ka-band payload and optical inter-satellite links (prototypes), solar arrays for power, and krypton ion thrusters as its motor system. Its dimensions include a length of 0.2 meters, diameter of 2.8 meters, and span of 9 meters. It has a box + pan shape design.

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.
