Here are specs on the V1.5 (Bus F9-1), V2 Mini (Bus F9-2) and Bus Starship Starlink satellites. https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-unveils-next-gen-starlink-v2-mini-satellites-ahead-of-monday-launch/ The main body of V2 Mini is about three times that of V1.5 but the increase in the solar array system is about nine times. V1.5 satellites are the ones launched in the recent past. "Each Starlink V2 Mini satellite will have two massive 52.5-square-meter (565 sq ft) solar arrays and a ‘wingspan’ of around 30 meters (~100 ft)." I have not seen an on-orbit rendering of the V2 Mini. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun Feb 26 2023 - 20:18:08 UTC
