	It may even be right.
I observed the Canadian CanX-7 satellite which had a smaller solar sail deployed and during one pass it became as bright (for a second) as Regulus – perhaps because it was pretty obviously tumbling at that point.
Should be worth a look. Is there a date yet for when it deploys?
