A collaborator found out that the US State Dept is seeking public input on whether "satellite signature reduction" should be subject to ITAR regs.
Translation: should satellite operators make their satellites fainter (in order to not destroy the night sky quite as much) be allowed to talk about how they did it?
So some of my collaborators and I put together a quick and easy template for you to email the US State Dept and tell them this shouldn't be secret info:
