Summary

The satellite named STARLINK-11429 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11429, is a Starlink V2M spacecraft operated by SpaceX (SPXS). It was launched on November 24, 2024, from AFWTR at SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with an overall span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kg and it had a launch mass of 730 kg. The shape of the satellite is described as a box with a pan design. It belongs to the Starlink Group 9-13-05 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.
