Couldn't be worse than Iridium flsshes.
This is one satellite, Iridium are 88.

It might ruin some astrophotos, but so does Iridium and aircraft.

It is likely to be worse than either, because it is so bright, and
because it is bright across its entire path, not just in a flare zone.

Fortunately it is a short lived satellite. It remains to be seen if
others follow given the declining price of putting stuff into orbit.
