Summary

The satellite, identified by NORAD Catalog ID 62918 and alternatively named Starlink 11562, is a Starlink V2M spacecraft manufactured by SpaceX (SPXS). It was launched on February 8, 2025, with a launch mass of 730 kg and has a dry mass of 700 kg. The satellite measures 4.1 meters in diameter, spans 29 meters, and is 0.3 meters long. Its shape is described as "Box + pan." It belongs to the Starlink Group 12-9-12 payload and is owned by 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.
