Summary
The STARLINK-11165 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11165, is a communication satellite launched on June 19, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It belongs to the Starlink v2 Mini configuration and has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and spans 29 meters. The satellite features a dry mass of 700 kilograms and was manufactured by SPXS with an owner designation of SPXS as well. It is equipped with D2C payload, optical inter-satellite link, argon ion thrusters for propulsion, solar arrays, and batteries for power generation.
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.
