Additional information STARLINK-1287
STARLINK-1287 is a communication satellite from the Starlink fleet, owned and operated by SPXS (SpaceX). Launched on March 18, 2020, from Launch Pad LC39A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, aboard a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, this spacecraft measures approximately 0.2 meters in length with a diameter of 2.8 meters and spans 9 meters when its components are deployed. At launch, it had a mass of 260 kilograms and now weighs 248 kilograms without fuel. Equipped with Ku/Ka-band payload capabilities and optical inter-satellite links, STARLINK-1287 relies on solar arrays and batteries for power generation and uses krypton ion thrusters for propulsion. The satellites structure is described as a box shape with additional components resembling a pan design.
