  We don't know yet. Satellites (especially defunct) don't have active live tracking like ships. Satellite sites show them based on calculated trajectories. Edit: as of 2021-04-09T20:21:00Z EUSST thinks they missed. https://twitter.com/EU_SST/status/1380601898164744199 https://twitter.com/EU_SST/status/1380601898164744199

    leolabs' next anticipated contact with SL-8 R/B 12443 is at 21:06UTC https://platform.leolabs.space/catalog/L5136#next-planned-passes https://platform.leolabs.space/catalog/L5136#next-planned-pa... next anticipated contact with OPS 6182 at 20:00UTC https://platform.leolabs.space/catalog/L11618#next-planned-passes https://platform.leolabs.space/catalog/L11618#next-planned-p... So what's that, about 90 minutes from now assuming I've got the right info?

      Are these satellites visible by telescope, can someone in e.g. Ankara try to spot SL-8 R/B 12443 as it as it flies over there in a few seconds?

        Is there an automated amateur run satellite tracking network? Just tracking points of light at dusk/dawn is an easy thing and wouldn't even require pointing, imagers could be fixed.
