Summary
The satellite STARLINK-11359 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11359, is a Starlink V2M spacecraft owned and manufactured by SpaceX (SPXS). It was launched on November 9, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and a span of 29 meters, with a dry mass of 700 kilograms and a launch mass of 730 kilograms. Its shape is described as "Box + pan," and it belongs to the Starlink Group 9-10-11 payload group.
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.
