Summary
STARLINK-11184 [DTC] is a communication satellite belonging to the Starlink V2M series with a configuration known as Starlink v2 Mini. It was launched on June 19, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle and became stable shortly after at 0440:16 UTC on the same day. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length, has a diameter of 4.1 meters, and spans 29 meters when deployed. It weighs 700 kilograms dry and 730 kilograms at launch. Equipped with D2C payload and an optical inter-satellite link for communication purposes, it is powered by solar arrays and batteries. The propulsion system uses Argon ion thrusters for maneuvering. Manufactured by SPXS, this satellite's purpose aligns with the broader Starlink Group 9-1-13 mission to provide global internet coverage.
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.
