Summary

The STARLINK-11502 [DTC] satellite, also known as Starlink 11502, is part of the Starlink Group 12-6-13 and was launched on December 31, 2024, from LC39A at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. This US-based satellite measures approximately 0.3 meters in length with a diameter of 4.1 meters and has a span of 29 meters. It features a box shape with a pan configuration and weighs about 700 kilograms dry, with a launch mass of 730 kilograms. The satellite is owned by SPXS and manufactured by the same entity.

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.
