Perhaps some lucky man or woman has already seen this week one of the constellation satellites star link who have been through Spain. If this is not the case, do not worry, there are still more opportunities to spot them. East Friday are expected to travel the Spanish sky about 44 satellites and this saturday 27 they will do it 43.
This is what the website says See a Satellite Tonightprepared by James Darpian, which allows you to check the exact time (about 10:00 p.m., peninsular time) and the day on which the satellites will fly over the piece of sky under which each one is located.
Of course, the portal warns that they will not be easy to observe, since it will be necessary to be very attentive so as not to miss their rapid passage. “Starlink can be difficult to see. Satellites they may only be visible for a very short time of time on its way through the sky”, warns the web, which allows you to enter a location and offers a night image of Google Maps with the position and time in which the satellites will pass where it is selected.
This Wednesday the 24th, 53 satellites of the row G4-27 and this Thursday, another 38. As for seeing the stars, spaces away from light are recommended to view them more easily. The clouds obviously don’t help either.
In July, SpaceXowned by South African billionaire Elon Musk, launched a rocket with 53 compact broadband repeater stations for the Starlink internet network, which is close to reaching 3,000, from the Cape Canaveral air base (Florida, USA).
The starlink mission aims to provide internet coverage from space for the entire globe. After reaching their operational orbit, the satellites begin transmitting broadband signals to consumers, who can purchase Starlink service and connect to the network with a SpaceX-provided ground terminal.
