SpaceX upgrades Starlink to reflect less light, can't launch without its Starship

and RF-transparent mirror films. The former failed, while the latter is being improved for Starlink 2.

The film will cut the observed brightness from Earth by 10X, SpaceX claims, and will cover the bottom of the satellites. In addition, it'll offer the film as a product to other satellite operators"at cost," to increase brightness reduction elsewhere.

The black material has"five-times lower specular peak compared to the darkest available space stable paint," it said.
