HEO(@heospace):Our first view of a new Starlink V3 in orbit. Captured on September 30 from approximately 230 km with 34 cm/px resolution, this is an early look at the next generation satellite in the Starlink constellation. Two solar arrays are deployed, with the spacecraft in an expected orientation as it raises orbit. The V3s will now move towards their operational altitudes, bringing them closer to HEO’s current network and enabling higher-resolution imagery as they climb.
