Summary

The satellite STARLINK-32463, also known as Starlink 32463, is a Starlink V2M spacecraft launched on November 27, 2024, from LC39A at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters. The satellite's dry mass is 700 kilograms, and its launch mass was 730 kilograms. Manufactured by SPXS, it belongs to the Starlink Group 6-76-17 payload and is owned by SpaceX (SPXS). Its shape consists of a box with a pan design. The launch date aligns closely with the stable orbit acquisition date on November 27, 2024.

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.
