Details:
After a brilliant naked eye procession May 5, this orbit passed farther north at 0308UT on May 6 and was not visible to the unaided eye. However, I was able to video record 52 of the 56 satellites uniquely as they flew through my field of view. Two of them were rotating
and slightly offset from the train while the rest were steady in appearance. It is not clear yet if these were retaining rods or are part of the payload grouping. This is a video recording of the entire 63 second procession made at a range of 600km. The still was captured on an Iphone 12 on May 5 at 0255UT. The satellites were so bright and much closer together than on May 6 that they exceeded the brightness of first magnitude stars Castor and Pollux.
