What source generates debris from a fully operational SpaceX Starlink satellite entering a death spiral?

A separate orbital incident after failing to reach operational orbit

It is crucial to differentiate between debris originating from large-scale experimental vehicles like Starship and debris resulting from the smaller, operational Starlink satellite constellation. In the case described, a fully operational SpaceX Starlink satellite experienced a failure after attempting to reach its intended operational orbit. This failure resulted in the satellite entering an unpredictable tumbling motion, leading to a controlled or uncontrolled demise as it passed through the atmosphere. This incident represents falling space junk resulting from orbital hardware failure, contrasting with the debris field generated when the much larger Starship booster vehicle undergoes high-energy breakup during testing or re-entry phases.
