K & B at TV4 Nyhetsmorgon: Watch and Film the Starlink Train

Editor in Chief of Kamera & Bilds Kali Rosenqvist interviewed on TV4 Nyhetsmorgon by Anders Pihlblad and Jenny Alversjö About what is currently happening in the sky: In addition to the aurora borealis, there is a chance to see Starlink satellites moving across the sky.

Watch the five-minute clip on TV4 morning news here.

Newly launched satellites will be scattered in groups on their intended orbit – a kind of separation – meaning the satellite train can no longer be seen. Therefore, time is short for those who want to go out and see a different view with a series of bright spots – satellites – moving across the sky.

Then Starlink will pass Sweden next time

When these newly launched Group 3-3 polar satellites pass above us, large solar panels reflect sunlight. When it gets dark, the angle of the reflected light is correct, and the weather allows for a clear view – there is a chance to point the satellites – but this is not entirely certain.

Visibility is currently down from good to poor, which means it may be harder to see the train now than it was a few days ago.

Here are some approximate times:

August 20 01.22

Aug 21 01.48

August 22 00:44

August 23 01.13

On August 31 Another rocket will be launched at 02:00 from Vandenberg, California where a Falcon 9 rocket with 46 satellites (group 3-4) will bring the new Starlink satellites into orbit. Then there’s the chance to see and photograph the light of the rocket that can be seen here in Sweden, as well as the subsequent Starlink lanes with the train’s satellites.
