Additional information STARLINK-1072

STARLINK-1072 is a communication satellite operated by SpaceX (SPXS), launched on January 7, 2020, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The spacecraft measures approximately 0.2 meters in length with a diameter of 2.8 meters and a span of 9 meters when deployed. It has a dry mass of 248 kilograms and weighed 260 kilograms at launch. Equipped with Ku/Ka-band payload antennas and optical inter-satellite links, the satellite is powered by solar arrays and batteries. The propulsion system utilizes krypton ion thrusters for orbital adjustments and station-keeping maneuvers. Its shape is described as a box with a pan configuration, designed primarily for communication purposes within the Starlink constellation.
