Summary

The satellite named STARLINK-11258 [DTC], also known as Starlink 11258, is a member of the Starlink V2M series operated by SpaceX (SPXS). It was launched on January 13, 2025, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter with an overall span of 29 meters. It had a launch mass of 730 kilograms and a dry mass of 700 kilograms, suggesting minimal fuel consumption upon deployment. Its shape is described as a box with a pan configuration, indicating the presence of solar panels for power generation. This satellite is part of SpaceX's Starlink Group 12-4-12 payload constellation and serves an unspecified purpose within its operational parameters.

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.
