  Not sure what the visibility of the launch vehicle is. The visibility of the satellites depends on the deployment schedule; is it hours after launch or days? Bear in mind that the satellites that we are currently talking about were launched on 18th March.

  @BH Can't explain. Don't think I can even explain it as a GMT/BST difference. What was your source? (edit: OK, found it now; Tapatalk doesn't show the source) There is obviously a question about how you correlate 60 satellites over a 2 hour period with just a single report of 6 minutes.
