Summary
The satellite STARLINK-11385 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11385, is a component of the Starlink Group 9-12-07 and belongs to the Starlink V2M bus series. It was launched on November 18, 2024, from AFWTR (SLC4E) using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of approximately 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and a span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms and it weighed 730 kilograms at launch. The shape of the satellite is described as a "Box + pan," indicating its box-like structure with additional panels. It was manufactured by SPXS (SpaceX) and operates under their ownership for purposes not specified in the provided data.
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.
