Summary

The STARLINK-4358 satellite, also known as Starlink 4358, is a communication satellite belonging to SpaceX's Starlink constellation. It was launched on July 22, 2022, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite measures 0.2 meters in length and has a diameter of 2.8 meters with a span of 9 meters. Its dry mass is 275 kilograms, and it weighed 297 kilograms at launch. Equipped with Ku/Ka-band payload and optical inter-satellite link technology, the satellite uses solar arrays and batteries for power. It utilizes krypton ion thrusters as its propulsion system. The spacecraft has a box shape with panels and is owned by SpaceX (SPXS), designed to provide 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.

The End of Free Skies | FAA Starts Charging for Rocket Launches

On April 22, 2026, the FAA published a final rule implementing per-launch user fees for commercial space transportation — the first time the U.S. government has charged payload-based fees for rocket launches. Starting at 25 cents per pound with a $30,000 cap, the fees are modest today. By 2033, they won't be.
