Summary

The STARLINK-32661 satellite, also known as Starlink 32661, is a part of the Starlink V2M series manufactured by SpaceX (SPXS). It was launched on February 4, 2025, from AFETR. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and 4.1 meters in diameter, with a span of 29 meters. Its dry mass is 700 kg, and it had a launch mass of 730 kg. It belongs to the Starlink Group 12-3-21 payload. The shape of the satellite is 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.
