> When scaled to a range of 550km and corrected for the solar and observer phase angles, a reduction by a factor of two is seen in the reflected solar flux between Darksat and STARLINK-1113. The data and results presented in this work, show that the special darkening coating used by Starlink for Darksat has darkened the Sloan g' magnitude by 0.77±0.05mag, when the range is equal to a nominal orbital height (550km).
