“Wait for when the Humanity Star is overhead and take your loved ones outside to look up and reflect. You may just feel a connection to the more than seven billion other people on this planet we share this ride with,” says Peter Beck, Rocket Lab’s founder and CEO, on the Humanity Star website . The website provides additional information about the passive satellite, including its current position in its 90-minute polar orbit and the best times to view it (dawn or dusk).After its nine months are up, the satellite’s orbit will have decayed to the point where atmospheric drag slows it down and Earth’s gravity will cause it to de-orbit. The small, reflective sphere will burn up completely on re-entry. And during those nine months, the Humanity Star’s wide-coverage orbit means it’s only visible from any one place on the planet a few times, so if you see that it’s visible from your location, get out and look skyward to take part in this unique, yet global, experience.
