Summary
The satellite named STARLINK-11090 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11090, is a Starlink v2 Mini spacecraft (BUS: Starlink V2M) owned and operated by SpaceX (SPXS). Launched on April 7, 2024, from the AFWTR Launch Site at SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this communication satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and spans 29 meters when deployed. It carries a D2C payload and an optical inter-satellite link for data transmission and weighs approximately 700 kilograms dry with a launch mass of 730 kilograms. Its power comes from solar arrays and batteries, and it is equipped with Argon ion thrusters for maneuvering. The satellite's shape consists of a box design augmented by panels.
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.
