BlueWalker 3 Redux
Anthony Mallama, Richard E. Cole, Scott Harrington +4
The BlueWalker 3 satellite is now fainter than during the first months after deployment. The greatest improvement is that the average maximum luminosity near zenith has been reduce…
The Brightness of Starlink Mini Satellites During Orbit-Raising
Anthony Mallama, Richard E. Cole, Jay Respler +3
Observations of Starlink V2 Mini satellites during orbit-raising suggest that SpaceX applies brightness mitigation when they reach a height of 357 km. The mean apparent magnitudes…
Starlink Mini Satellite Brightness Distributions Across the Sky
Anthony Mallama, Richard E. Cole, Jay Respler +3
The illumination phase functions for Starlink Mini satellites are determined for times of twilight and darkness. Those functions are then evaluated to give apparent magnitudes over…
Assessment of Brightness Mitigation Practices for Starlink Satellites
Anthony Mallama, Andreas Hornig, Richard E. Cole +4
Photometric characteristics for all models of Starlink satellites launched to date are reviewed. The Original design that lacked brightness mitigation is the most luminous. SpaceX…
