Has that ID number been officially assigned anywhere specifically to Humanity Star?   I have seen three different IDs from among the 6 objects released, each reported to be Humanity Star.   Yet they all can't be correct.  You have it as 43163.  N2yo.com has it as 43166.  Heavens-above.com has it as 43168.

But I haven't seen anything from the Humanity Star staff confirming which one it is.

Launched from New Zealand last week on a 46 degree inclination, assigned
NORAD ID 43163, has anyone spotted this meter wide highly reflective "disco
ball"?  Any magnitude estimates?
