Iridium 175, one of the 66 operational Iridium NEXT satellites providing global mobile satellite phone and data coverage. This satellite is one of the satellites whose predecessor generation produced the famous 'Iridium flares' — bright reflected sunlight glints that Iridium NEXT's redesigned antennas quietly eliminated.
