Summary

The satellite identified by NORAD CAT ID 62267 and OBJECT ID 2024-237A is a Starlink V2M model named STARLINK-11496 [DTC] or alternatively known as Starlink 11496. Launched on December 8, 2024, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 40 using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, the satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and a diameter of 4.1 meters with a span of 29 meters. It was manufactured by SpaceX (SPXS) and belongs to the Starlink Group 12-5-01 payload. The dry mass is 700 kg, while its launch mass was 730 kg. Its shape resembles a box with a pan configuration, but details regarding its power supply, purpose, major events, material composition, or related satellites are not provided in the given data.

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.
