Summary

The satellite named STARLINK-11470 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11470, is a part of the Starlink V2M series owned by SPXS (SpaceX). It was launched on November 24, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms, and it had a launch mass of 730 kilograms. The shape of the satellite is described as "Box + pan." It belongs to the Starlink Group 9-13-06 payload group but has no additional specified mission details or equipment listed.

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.
