Summary

The satellite named STARLINK-11387 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11387, is a member of the Starlink V2M series launched by SpaceX (SPXS) on November 25, 2024. It was deployed from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station 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, likely due to its solar arrays or antennas when deployed. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms, while the total launch mass was 730 kilograms. The spacecraft's shape is described as "Box + pan." It belongs to the Starlink Group 12-1-03 payload and operates under the ownership of SpaceX (SPXS).

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.
