Two so-called &#8220;Free Flyer&#8221; structures that deployed groups of the smallsats have themselves deployed sails. The two Free Flyers do not have any communications systems and so the team needs the help of skywatchers to track them: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.southgatearc.org\/news\/2019\/february\/sso-a-solar-sails-deployed-may-be-visible-to-naked-eye.htm\">SSO-A Solar Sails deployed &#8211; may be visible to naked eye | Southgate Amateur Radio News<\/a> &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The free flyers separated from the launch vehicle and in turn deployed multiple satellites each including Microsats and CubeSats over the course of several hours. The Upper Free Flyer (NORAD ID: 43763) is a large structure at approximately 1,000kg and the Lower Free Flyer is approximately 260kg (NORAD ID: 43760). Each Free Flyer hosts one of our 16m2 aluminised kapton sail which was set to deploy 24 hours after launch.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The systems were standalone isolated systems with no communications so we don&#8217;t have any telemetry confirmation. Drag parameters from the TLEs are indicative of a successful deployment, but far from definitive. We&#8217;re therefore waiting for them to become optically visible in northern latitudes in the next couple of weeks. Based on the experience with our <a href=\"https:\/\/directory.eoportal.org\/web\/eoportal\/satellite-missions\/i\/inflatesail\">InflateSail<\/a> mission, we&#8217;d expect these objects to be quite bright to the naked eye if the sails have deployed successfully. InflateSail was 10m2 and (initially) transparent with a +4.2 mag, whereas these sails are 16m2 and metalised so could well flare brightly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Any observations that could be made by the community of either of these objects would be greatly appreciated and they should make for interesting targets.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>**<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nanosats.eu\/sat\/meznsat\"><strong>MeznSat<\/strong><\/a> &#8211;\u00a0 <a title=\"UAE University Students Focus On Greenhouse Gases With New Satellite Project - SpaceWatch.Global\" href=\"https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/2019\/02\/uae-university-students-focus-on-greenhouse-gases-with-new-satellite-project\/\">UAE University Students Focus On Greenhouse Gases With New Satellite Project &#8211; SpaceWatch.Global<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>A nanosatellite named MeznSat is being manufactured by a group of university students in the UAE, the Khaleej Times has reported.
