IAU Centre for Protection of the Sky #IAU-CPS now has an update on #BlueWalker3 #satcon: the 64 m^2 sheet of antenna of the prototype makes it one of the brightest objects in the night sky https://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau2211/
> The Satellite Constellations 2 (SATCON2) workshop was held virtually 12–16 July 2021 to discuss how to implement the mitigation strategies that emerged from SATCON1 to minimize the negative impacts of satellite constellations on astronomy and the night sky.
