Summary

The satellite named STARLINK-11396 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11396, is a Starlink V2M model operated by SpaceX (SPXS). Launched on November 18, 2024, from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, the satellite has a dry mass of 700 kg and a launch mass of 730 kg. It is part of the Starlink Group 9-12-08 payload, designed for space-based internet connectivity services. The satellite features a box with a panoramic design, measuring 4.1 meters in diameter and spanning 29 meters. No specific information on its power source or mission details was 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.
