Visual Magnitude of the BlueWalker 3 Satellite by Anthony Mallama et al. on Wednesday 30 November

Observations have been carried out in order to assess the optical

characteristics of the BlueWalker 3 spacecraft which is the prototype for a new

satellite constellation. The illumination phase function has been determined

and evaluated. The average visual magnitude when seen overhead at the beginning

or ending of astronomical twilight is found to be +1.4.
