Can anyone give an estimation of if this is likely to be bright enough for such a light show? Can't mention RCS value in here because of Space-Track restrictions, but it's a relatively small object though nicely lubricated with grease which might assist in lighting things up a little! Very few passes of interest here in view of lack of visibility below about 10 degrees on account of hills, but it appears Australians should keep a watch on this one.
