Summary
The STARLINK-11135 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11135, is a communication satellite designed for the Starlink v2 Mini configuration and manufactured by SPXS in the United States. Launched on June 8, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, it has a dry mass of 700 kg and a launch mass of 730 kg. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length with a diameter of 4.1 meters and a span of 29 meters. It is equipped with a D2C payload, an optical inter-satellite link, and Argon ion thrusters for propulsion. Power is supplied through solar arrays and batteries. The satellite's shape is described as "Box + pan," and it forms part of the Starlink Group 8-8-11 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.
