The rocket was spun up before separation, so when we manage to find it it could be flashing. The rocket was also going to be moved to a different orbit from the sat some time after separation. A challenge for the tracking experts. As Worldview is in a relatively low polar orbit could be a good one to see. Any chance of someone coming up with tracking TLE's or at least an indication of possible locations where it would be visible for the next few days?
