Starlink Constellation Animation (November 2019 - June 2020)

This animation shows the initial build-out of the Starlink (v1.0) constellation, starting on 2019/11/17 up to 2020/06/25. The x-axis shows the anomaly past the ascending node (i.e. the position of the satellite in its plane), while the y-axis shows the complement of the longitude of the ascending node (i.e. the position of the plane). The data is plotted in the frame of reference of a satellite in operational orbit in order to correct for nodal precession. The TLE-data was obtained from
