Summary
The satellite STARLINK-11532 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11532, is a part of the Starlink Group 12-4-10 and was launched on January 13, 2025, from LC40 at AFETR using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. It has a BUS type of Starlink V2M with dimensions including a length of 0.3 meters, diameter of 4.1 meters, and span of 29 meters. The satellite's dry mass is 700 kg and it had an initial launch mass of 730 kg. Its shape is described as "Box + pan" and the manufacturer is SPXS, with ownership also under SPXS. The launch site for this mission was AFETR (Cape Canaveral Space Force Station), from pad LC40.
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.
