Summary
The satellite named STARLINK-11465 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11465, is a Starlink V2M model launched by SpaceX on November 24, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters. The satellite has a dry mass of 700 kg and launched with a total mass of 730 kg. Its shape is described as "Box + pan" and it belongs to the Starlink Group 9-13-01 payload. The satellite is owned by SpaceX and was manufactured in the United States.
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.
