>> The article covers the mitigations already in place and how they only partially resolve the issue. > So in April, SpaceX instead began launching Starlinks with a sunshade to block sunlight that would otherwise reflect off its antennas, which are the main source of the Starlinks’ brightness once they have reached their final positions. > So far, only one of these ‘VisorSat’ Starlinks has finished the journey to its final orbit of 550 kilometres above Earth. Amateur astronomers have reported that the sunshade appears to make the Starlink fainter than it would otherwise be. > But astronomers are still awaiting further confirmation that the modifications have a significant effect, says Meredith Rawls, an astronomer at the University of Washington in Seattle. Regardless, SpaceX is now launching all of its Starlinks with the sun-shielding visor. It seems that the impact of the sunshade mitigation is not yet fully measured?
