Summary

The Starlink V2M satellite, identified by NORAD CAT ID 61626 and OBJECT ID 2024-191F, is part of the Starlink v2 Mini configuration series owned by SPXS (SpaceX). It was launched on October 23, 2024, from LC40 at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kg and it has a launch mass of 730 kg. It carries a Ku/Ka/E-band payload, optical inter-satellite link, and Argon ion thrusters for propulsion. The satellite's power comes from solar arrays and batteries. Its mission is focused on communication purposes.

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.
