We track batches launched in the last 10 days (the train) and batches up to 30 days old still below 420 km. Older satellites are too faint to list.
Full schedule: next Starlink launch. Why the line forms and fades: the Starlink train explained. Saw one already? Line of lights in the sky.
At the last update (5 Nov 2026, 00:21 UTC), yes: Starlink Group 15-18, Starlink Group 15-16. 98 of our cities can see it tonight.
Roughly the first week to ten days. The satellites then raise their orbits one by one, spread out and turn to a darker attitude.
The batch must pass over you while it is sunlit and your sky is dark, and its orbit tilt must reach your latitude. Many nights no recent batch does that for a given city.
No Starlink launch had a firm date at the last update.
