Summary

STARLINK-30795, also known as Starlink 30795, is a communication satellite under the Starlink v2 Mini configuration launched on October 22, 2023, from AFETR's LC40 launch pad using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters. It carries equipment including Ku/Ka/E-band payload and an optical inter-satellite link, powered by solar arrays and batteries. Its dry mass is 700 kg, and it had a launch mass of 730 kg. The satellite is equipped with Argon ion thrusters for propulsion and was manufactured by SPXS. It belongs to the Starlink Group 6-24-01 payload group and serves 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.
