Summary

The satellite named STARLINK-11264 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11264, is a communication satellite belonging to the Starlink v2 Mini configuration and manufactured by SPXS (SpaceX). It was launched on August 31, 2024, from LC40 at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and a span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms with a launch mass of 730 kilograms. It features D2C payload and optical inter-satellite link equipment, powered by solar arrays and batteries. The satellite's propulsion system includes Argon ion thrusters for maneuvering.

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.
