As a governmentally approved domestic entity for Space Situational Awareness, Korea Astronomy and Space Science\udInstitute (KASI) is developing and operating an optical telescopes system, Optical Wide-field PatroL (OWL) Network.\udDuring the test phase of this system, it is necessary to determine the range of brightness of the observable satellites. We\udhave defined standard magnitude for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to calibrate their luminosity in terms of standard\udparameters such as distance, phase angle, and angular rate. In this work, we report the optical brightness range of five LEO\udSatellites using OWL-Net
