Summary

The Starlink-31735 satellite, designated NORAD CAT ID 60054 and OBJECT_ID 2024-112S, is part of the Starlink v2 Mini configuration manufactured by SPXS (SpaceX). Launched on June 8, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this communication satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters. It weighs 730 kilograms at launch and carries a dry mass of 700 kg. The equipment includes Ku/Ka/E-band payload and an optical inter-satellite link, powered by solar arrays and batteries. Its propulsion system consists of Argon ion thrusters, and its shape is described as Box + pan.

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.
