Summary

The Starlink V2M satellite, designated as STARLINK-32646 (NORAD_CAT_ID: 62307), was launched on December 13, 2024, from SLC4E at AFWTR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of approximately 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with a span of 29 meters. It weighs 730 kilograms at launch and has a dry mass of 700 kilograms. Manufactured by SPXS, this satellite is part of the Starlink Group 11-2-07 payload and its shape consists of a box structure with a pan configuration. The satellite's owner and manufacturer are both SpaceX (SPXS).

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.
