Summary

The STARLINK-11236 [DTC] satellite, also known as Starlink 11236, is a communication satellite launched on September 13, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It belongs to the Starlink v2 Mini configuration and was manufactured by SPXS for SpaceX (SPXS). The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length with a diameter of 4.1 meters and spans 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kg, and it has a launch mass of 730 kg. It is equipped with D2C payload and optical inter-satellite link technology for communication purposes, powered by solar arrays and batteries. The satellite uses Argon ion thrusters as its motor system and has a box plus pan shape.

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.
