Summary

STARLINK-4095 is a Starlink satellite launched by SpaceX on July 17, 2022, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Launch Complex 40 using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The spacecraft has dimensions of 0.2 meters in length and 2.8 meters in diameter with a span of 9 meters. It weighs 297 kilograms at launch and 275 kilograms when dry. Equipped with a Ku/Ka-band payload, an optical inter-satellite link, krypton ion thrusters for propulsion, and solar arrays combined with batteries for power supply, this satellite is designed for communication purposes as part of the Starlink Group 4-22-39 constellation. Its shape consists of a box with a pan design. The mission owner and manufacturer are both SpaceX.

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.
