Details:
Telescope images Starlink satellite V1.5 (generation 1) versus Starlink satellite V2 mini in operational orbit. Obvious is the bigger part of the satellite bus that is darkened in the V2 mini design seen at the right. A result of the newest satellite brightness mitigation techniques.
In operational orbit, solar arrays are mostly not visible as intended for brightness mitigation purposes. The image to the lower left is an exception. In some rare occasions a solar panel can be seen but very faint.
