Summary
The STARLINK-11472 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11472, is a Starlink V2M satellite owned by SPXS and part of the Starlink Group 9-13-11 payload. It was launched on November 24, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length, has a diameter of 4.1 meters, and a span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms, with a launch mass of 730 kilograms. The shape of the satellite is described as "Box + pan."
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.

The End of Free Skies | FAA Starts Charging for Rocket Launches
On April 22, 2026, the FAA published a final rule implementing per-launch user fees for commercial space transportation — the first time the U.S. government has charged payload-based fees for rocket launches. Starting at 25 cents per pound with a $30,000 cap, the fees are modest today. By 2033, they won't be.
