Summary

STARLINK-6235, also known as Starlink 6235, is a communication satellite belonging to the Starlink constellation and was launched on June 22, 2023, from AFWTR's SLC4E pad using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite measures 0.2 meters in length with a diameter of 2.8 meters and has a span of 9 meters, featuring a box plus pan shape. It carries a Ku/Ka-band payload along with an optical inter-satellite link for communication purposes. STARLINK-6235 weighs 290 kg dry and 305 kg at launch, powered by solar arrays and batteries, and is equipped with krypton ion thrusters as its propulsion system. The satellite was manufactured by SPXS (SpaceX) and operates in a stable orbit following its launch date.

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.
