Summary
The satellite named STARLINK-11164 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11164, is a part of the Starlink v2 Mini configuration and belongs to SpaceX (SPXS). It was launched on June 24, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has a length of 0.3 meters, diameter of 4.1 meters, and span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kg with a launch mass of 730 kg. Equipped with D2C payload and optical inter-satellite link for communication purposes, it uses Argon ion thrusters as motors and solar arrays along with batteries for power supply. The satellite's 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.
