Summary
The Starlink V2M satellite, designated STARLINK-11375 [DTC], is a communication satellite built by SPXS and launched on October 18, 2024, from LC40 at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters, configured as Starlink v2 Mini. The satellite weighs 730 kilograms at launch and reduces to 700 kilograms dry mass, equipped with D2C payload and optical inter-satellite link for communication purposes. Power is supplied by solar arrays and batteries, while its propulsion uses Argon ion thrusters. Its shape consists of a box with pan configurations. The satellite was stabilized in orbit on October 19, 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.
