LeoLabs and the Business of Watching Everything
A startup built on Cold War-era radar science now tracks 25,000 objects in orbit - and the Pentagon can't get enough of it. But can its radars really compete with the Space Surveillance Network?

Summary
The STARLINK-32190 satellite, also known as Starlink 32190, is a communication satellite belonging to the Starlink v2 Mini configuration series. Launched on July 28, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this spacecraft has a dry mass of 700 kg and was manufactured by SPXS. The satellite is equipped with Ku/Ka/E-band payload and an optical inter-satellite link for communication purposes. It features argon ion thrusters for propulsion and uses solar arrays along with batteries for power generation. Measuring 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and having a span of 29 meters, the satellite has a box plus panel shape and operates under the ownership of SPXS as part of the Starlink Group 9-4-18 payload constellation.
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.
