Here's a great explanation that SpaceX just posted about Starlink. https://www.spacex.com/news/2020/04/28/starlink-update This talks about their brightness mitigation efforts, how the sats fly, and what parts of the sats are reflective. On the next launch, one satellite will test a deployable sun visor to block sunlight from hitting the brightest parts of the spacecraft. -Steve _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Wed Apr 29 2020 - 08:27:31 UTC
