It's called Orbital Reflector and is an "artwork in orbit". It will be the magnitude of a bright star and may be seen as pulsing light due to its diamond shape. It is the length of a couple of busses when the balloon of reflective material is deployed.

Here is the website for it. : [link to www.orbitalreflector.com (secure)]

The orbital information is not yet available due to 64 satellites being deployed at once. It is taking longer than expected. But it will be available on the link above as well as the Star Walk 2 app for mobile devices. That way you can set up an alert for your area when it will be overhead.

I saw the disco ball (I think it was called Humanity Star) once. But I believe it came down not long after launch.

Hopefully the Orbital Reflector will be a better project.
