Summary
The satellite STARLINK-11376 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11376, is a communication satellite belonging to the Starlink v2 Mini configuration under the BUS type Starlink V2M. Launched on October 18, 2024, from LC40 at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, it has a dry mass of 700 kg and a launch mass of 730 kg. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length with a diameter of 4.1 meters and spans 29 meters. It is equipped with D2C payload, optical inter-satellite link, solar arrays for power, and Argon ion thrusters as its motor. Manufactured by SPXS, the satellite's purpose is to provide communication services.
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.
