Summary
The STARLINK-2058 satellite, also known as Starlink 2058, is owned by SpaceX (SPXS) and was launched on February 16, 2021, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's LC40 using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It operates in a communication mission with a configuration of Box + pan shape, measuring 0.2 meters in length, 2.8 meters in diameter, and spans up to 9 meters when deployed. The satellite has a dry mass of 248 kilograms and was launched with a mass of 260 kilograms. It is powered by solar arrays and batteries and uses Krypton ion thrusters for propulsion. Equipped with Ku/Ka-band payload (all) and optical inter-satellite links (some prototypes), STARLINK-2058 forms part of the Starlink constellation aimed at providing global communication services.
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.
