Summary
The STARLINK-11495 [DTC] satellite, also known as Starlink 11495, is a Starlink V2M spacecraft manufactured by SPXS and owned by the same entity. It was launched on December 8, 2024, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's LC40 launch pad using a Falcon 9 rocket. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length with a diameter of 4.1 meters and spans 29 meters when fully deployed. Its dry mass is 700 kilograms, and it had a launch mass of 730 kilograms. It forms part of the Starlink Group 12-5-09 payload constellation. The satellite has a box plus panel shape but lacks detailed information on its power systems or specific mission purposes.
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.
