Summary
The satellite STARLINK-3625, also known as Starlink 3625, is part of the Starlink Group 4-11-10 constellation operated by SPXS (SpaceX). It was launched on February 25, 2022, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of approximately 0.2 meters in length, 2.8 meters in diameter, and a span of 9 meters. It weighs 275 kilograms dry and had an initial launch mass of 297 kilograms. Equipped with Ku/Ka-band payload and optical inter-satellite link capabilities, the satellite uses krypton ion thrusters for propulsion and relies on solar arrays and batteries for power supply. Its primary mission is communication purposes.
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.
