Summary

The STARLINK-30184 satellite, also known as Starlink 30184, is a communication satellite belonging to the Starlink v2 Mini configuration and was launched on July 10, 2023. It was manufactured by SPXS (SpaceX) and deployed from the AFETR launch site using Falcon 9 as the launch vehicle from LC40. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, a diameter of 4.1 meters, and spans 29 meters. It weighs 700 kilograms dry with a launch mass of 730 kilograms. Equipped with Ku/Ka/E-band payload, an optical inter-satellite link, and Argon ion thrusters for propulsion, it is powered by solar arrays and batteries. The satellite's purpose is to support communication services as part of the Starlink Group 6-5-21 constellation.

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.
