Summary
The satellite named STARLINK-11357 [DTC] or Starlink 11357 is a Starlink v2 Mini configuration manufactured by SPXS and launched on October 15, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and spans 29 meters with equipment that includes a D2C payload and optical inter-satellite link. The satellite's dry mass is 700 kg and it was launched with a total mass of 730 kg. It uses Argon ion thrusters for propulsion and solar arrays with batteries for power. Its primary purpose is communication, serving as part of the Starlink Group 9-7-10 constellation. The satellite's shape is described as "Box + pan" and it was stabilized on October 15, 2024.
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.
