Summary

The STARLINK-11343 [DTC] satellite, also known as Starlink 11343, is a member of the Starlink V2M series manufactured by SpaceX (SPXS). 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 and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters, indicating the presence of deployable structures such as solar panels or antennas. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms, while its launch mass was 730 kilograms. The satellite's shape consists of a box configuration complemented by a pan-like element. It is part of SpaceX's Starlink Group 9-12-10 payload and operates under the ownership of SpaceX for unspecified purposes within the constellation.

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.
