Summary
The STARLINK-11307 [DTC] satellite, also known as Starlink 11307, is a communication satellite part of the Starlink v2 Mini configuration, manufactured by SpaceX (SPXS). Launched on September 20, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, it has dimensions of approximately 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kg, and its launch mass was 730 kg. Equipped with D2C payload and an optical inter-satellite link, the satellite uses solar arrays and batteries for power and Argon ion thrusters as propulsion.

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.
