Additional information STARLINK-1130

The STARLINK-1130 (DARKSAT) satellite, also known as Starlink 1130, is a communication satellite operated by SPXS (SpaceX). Launched on January 7, 2020, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Stations Launch Complex 40 using the Falcon 9 launch vehicle, it has a dry mass of 248 kg and a launch mass of 260 kg. The satellite measures 0.2 meters in length with a diameter of 2.8 meters and spans up to 9 meters when deployed. Equipped with Ku/Ka-band payload communication systems (all) and optical inter-satellite links (prototypes), it utilizes solar arrays and batteries for power generation and Krypton ion thrusters for propulsion. The satellites shape is described as a box with a pan design, and its primary mission focuses on providing global internet connectivity as part of the Starlink constellation, though specific details about the constellation are not provided in this data set.
