During a solar eclipse

I'm wondering:
Could we see a satellite like ISS while it and ourselves are in the Moon shadow?
Can it be visible while we're not quite yet in the totality and neither is it?
It looks like it's impossible: we have to be under sufficient darkness (inside the shadow) while the station must still be under sunlight, while the shadow moves at about 5,000 km/h...
Unless the surrounding Earthlight (not right below) reflects enough light on the station....
