Summary
The satellite STARLINK-11389 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11389, is a Starlink V2M spacecraft manufactured by SPXS and owned by the same entity. Launched on November 25, 2024, from LC40 at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, it has a span of 29 meters and measures 4.1 meters in diameter with a length of 0.3 meters. The satellite has a dry mass of 700 kg and a launch mass of 730 kg. Its shape is described as a box with a pan configuration. The spacecraft's payload belongs to the Starlink Group 12-1-04 constellation.
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.
