Summary
The satellite named STARLINK-11348 [DTC] or Starlink 11348 is a Starlink V2M spacecraft operated by SpaceX (SPXS). It was launched on October 30, 2024, from the AFWTR launch site using SLC4E as the launch pad and the Falcon 9 as the launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of approximately 0.3 meters in length and a diameter of 4.1 meters, with an extended span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms and it weighed 730 kilograms at launch. The spacecraft's shape can be described as "Box + pan." It belongs to the Starlink Group 9-9-08 payload and is part of SpaceX’s constellation network, although specific mission details are not provided.
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.
