Hi Ron,

It's not clear to me when the burn occurs, but the de-orbit area for
all launches is in the Indian ocean. See this map by Bob Christy for a
previous Starlink launch:
https://www.zarya.info/Diaries/blog/tracks.php?event=Starlink%202021%20mid-Feb

There have been reports on SeeSat-L of a burn being visible from
Spain, but it is not clear to me if this was an actual burn or a fuel
dump.

Regards,
   Cees
