Summary
The satellite STARLINK-11476 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11476, is a Starlink V2M spacecraft owned and manufactured by SPXS (SpaceX). It was launched on December 5, 2024, from AFWTR using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle at SLC4E. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, a diameter of 4.1 meters, and a span of 29 meters. At launch, it weighed 730 kilograms with a dry mass of 700 kilograms. Its shape is described as a box with a pan configuration.

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.
