Summary
The satellite named STARLINK-11345 [DTC] (OBJECT_ID: 2024-220F) is part of the Starlink V2M series, manufactured by SPXS and owned by the same entity. It was launched on November 25, 2024, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, a diameter of 4.1 meters, and spans up to 29 meters. It weighs 700 kilograms when dry and had an initial launch mass of 730 kilograms. The shape is described as "Box + pan." The payload it carries is part of the Starlink Group 12-1-06 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.
