Summary

The satellite named STARLINK-11213 [DTC] (Alt Name: Starlink 11213) is a member of the Starlink v2 Mini configuration, belonging to the Starlink V2M bus family. Launched on July 28, 2024, from AFWTR's SLC4E launch pad using a Falcon 9 vehicle, it was manufactured by SPXS for communication purposes. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length and has a diameter of 4.1 meters with a span of 29 meters. It weighs 700 kilograms dry and had a launch mass of 730 kilograms. Equipped with D2C payload and an optical inter-satellite link, it is powered by solar arrays and batteries, utilizing Argon ion thrusters for propulsion. The spacecraft has a box plus pan shape and is owned and operated by SPXS under the Starlink Group 9-4-09 mission.

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.
