Top Tweets for #SATCON1
Last year, a group of largely US-based mostly-astronomers convened #SATCON1 (sat con being short for satellite constellation) and came up with recommendations for how to mitigate impacts to ground-based optical/near-IR astronomy. Good start, but far from a done deal.
The Satellite Constellations 2 (#SATCON2) workshop will be held virtually 12–16 July to discuss how to implement the mitigation strategies (determined in #SATCON1) to minimize the impact of #SatelliteConstellations on #astronomy. For more info visit https://t.co/GWcuhcxdvx
A report from the Satellite Constellations 1 #SATCON1 workshop, organized jointly by @NOIRLabAstro and the American Astronomical Society (@AAS_Office), has been delivered to the National Science Foundation (@NSF) focusing on technical aspects. https://t.co/BVuZarBdnI

#SATCON1 #report: le #megacostellazioni mettono a rischio le osservazioni al crepuscolo, come la ricerca di asteroidi potenzialmente pericolosi, e molti programmi di ricerca astronomica, ma anche la vista dei cieli stellati per astrofotografi e astrofili https://t.co/UCAy2mJNBS
"His team has also modelled trying to steer the @VRubinObs telescope to avoid passing satellites, but Tyson says there are simply too many. 'It gets jammed. You can’t avoid them.'" #SATCON1 #Starlink (via @ScienceMagazine) https://t.co/5zLxiKnHVp
How about painting them with the blackest black --- darker than Vantablack - with the color developed using carbon nanotubes @elonmusk @AAS_Office #SATCON1

Un informe de expertos de la comunidad astronómica mundial, concluye que las constelaciones de #Satélites en órbitas bajas impactarán la astronomía infrarroja y óptica hecha desde tierra y podrían afectar la visión del #CieloNocturno para todos. #SATCON1 https://t.co/UziGZbNmym
In this thread I will live-tweet highlights from the SATCON1 press briefing starting momentarily.
There are a *lot* of questions, mostly from media, some of which are being answered live; most are being answered in writing in the chat box of the Zoom conference. Too many for me to report here, but I'm capturing all the Q's and A's. #SATCON1
Seitzer's summary of #SATCON1 Simulations Working Group findings, with the particular example of impacts to observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud: every 30-second exposure will have *at least* one satellite trail, no matter time of year or time of night.
It's my plot, described by Lori Allen during the #SATCON1 press briefing. We need to observe low-Earth orbit satellites to quantify their impact now. SpaceX's DarkSat is indeed a bit darker, but still bright. Small error in caption; all sats plotted are from Jan 2020 (not v0.9).
The #SATCON1 workshop is described as including many interests, but most were invited later-career astronomers. There were a few amateurs, dark-sky advocates, engineers, & satellite operators. Media not invited. Topics were limited to technical impacts, not policy or funding.

A report by experts representing the global astronomical community, concludes that constellations of bright #satellites in low Earth orbit will change ground-based optical & IR #astronomy & could impact the #NightSky for stargazers. #SATCON1 https://t.co/TX2jNK2320
