Summary

The satellite identified by NORAD_CAT_ID 61639 and OBJECT_ID 2024-191U is a Starlink V2M spacecraft, part of the Starlink v2 Mini configuration. Launched on October 23, 2024, from LC40 at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this satellite measures 0.3 meters in length with a diameter of 4.1 meters and a span of 29 meters. It has a dry mass of 700 kg and a launch mass of 730 kg. The satellite is equipped with a Ku/Ka/E-band payload, an optical inter-satellite link, and Argon ion thrusters for propulsion. Its power source includes solar arrays and batteries. Operated by SPXS (SpaceX), this communication satellite is designed to serve the Starlink Group 6-61-19 constellation mission.

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.
