Summary

The satellite designated by NORAD CAT ID 58533 and OBJECT ID 2023-192C is named STARLINK-31036 or Starlink 31036, part of the Starlink Group 7-8-03. It was launched on December 8, 2023, from Space Launch Complex 4E at AFWTR (Vandenberg Space Force Base) using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. This satellite is categorized under the Starlink V2M configuration with dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter, along with a span of 29 meters. It has a dry mass of 700 kilograms and was launched with a total mass of 730 kilograms. The satellite is owned by SpaceX (SPXS) and its primary mission is communication. It carries a Ku/Ka/E-band payload and an optical inter-satellite link for data transfer, powered by solar arrays and batteries. For maneuvering, it utilizes Argon ion thrusters.

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.
