Summary

The Starlink-32652 satellite, also known as Alt Name: Starlink 32652, is a member of the Starlink V2M series owned and operated by SpaceX (SPXS). It was launched on December 5, 2024, from AFWTR SLC4E using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length, has a diameter of 4.1 meters, and a span of 29 meters, with a dry mass of 700 kilograms and a launch mass of 730 kilograms. It is part of the Starlink Group 9-14-17 constellation. The satellite's shape consists of a box with panels.

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 Civilian Space Traffic System America Almost Didn't Build

For nearly two decades, the U.S. Air Force and Space Force have been the world's unofficial civilian space traffic control system. The Department of Commerce's Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) is now taking over that job for commercial satellite operators - in stages, against persistent congressional pressure to kill the program, and with Department of Defense advocates pushing to make it happen before it is too late.
