Summary
The STARLINK-11484 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11484, is a satellite under the Starlink V2M bus configuration, manufactured by SPXS and owned by the same entity. Launched on December 8, 2024, from Launch Pad LC40 at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, 4.1 meters in diameter, and a span of 29 meters. With a dry mass of 700 kg and a launch mass of 730 kg, the satellite is part of the Starlink Group 12-5-11 payload. It has a shape described as "Box + pan."
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.

Sally Ride and the Twenty Years It Took America to Catch Up
At 7:33 on the morning of 18 June 1983, a 32-year-old astrophysicist named Sally Ride rode Challenger off Pad 39A and became the first American woman in space. She got there two decades after the Soviets, and only after months of being asked whether spaceflight would damage her reproductive organs and whether she planned to cry.
