Summary
The Starlink V2M satellite, designated STARLINK-31464 or Starlink 31464, is a communication satellite manufactured by SPXS and owned by the same entity. Launched on March 24, 2024, from LC39A at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this satellite has a configuration known as Starlink v2 Mini. It measures 0.3 meters in length with a diameter of 4.1 meters and spans 29 meters when deployed. The dry mass is 700 kilograms while the launch mass was 730 kilograms. Equipped with Ku/Ka/E-band payload and an optical inter-satellite link, it also features Argon ion thrusters for propulsion and solar arrays along with batteries for power.

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.
