Summary

The satellite STARLINK-31835, also known as Starlink 31835, is a communication satellite from the US, part of the Starlink Group 8-7-20. Launched on May 14, 2024, using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle from SLC4E at AFWTR, it has a BUS type of Starlink V2M and is configured as a Starlink v2 Mini with dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and a span of 29 meters. Equipped with a Ku/Ka/E-band payload and an optical inter-satellite link, it utilizes Argon ion thrusters for propulsion and solar arrays and batteries for power supply. The satellite has a dry mass of 700 kg and a launch mass of 730 kg. Manufactured by SPXS and owned by the same entity, STARLINK-31835 is designed for communication purposes within its 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.
