	Iridium (satellite)
		Named for the element Iridium, it was originally to have 77 active satellites, but was later redesigned to have its current number, though the name was retained.
		The Iridium satellites were, however, retained in orbit, and their services have been re-established in 2001 by the newly founded Iridium Satellite LLC, partly owned by Boeing and other investors.
		Iridium and other satellite phones may be identifiable to the listener because of the particular "clipping" effect of the data compression and the time lag due to the long travelling path of the signal.

	Iridium Satellite Flare
		The brightness of a given satellite is usually dependent on the size of the object and the reflectivity of its components.
		Iridium satellites can become extremely bright because direct sunlight is reflected off the main mission antennae, which are made of highly reflective aluminum plates that are 188 centimeters wide and 86 centimeters long.
		The Iridium flare was approximately of magnitude -4 and was visible at an azimuth of 136 degrees and altitude of 60 degrees.

	Satellite flare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Satellite flare is the phenomenon caused by the reflective surfaces on satellites (such as antennas or solar panels) reflecting sunlight directly on to the Earth below and appearing as a brief, bright "flare".
		The Iridium communication satellites have a peculiar shape with three polished door-sized antennas, 120 degrees apart and at 40 degree angles with the main bus.
		When not "flaring" the satellites are often still just visible to the naked eye - a typical magnitude is 6, similar to a dim star.
