New OIG elements confirm that object #23509 = 95- 8 E (Cosmos 2306 deb) decayed at April 24.5. The final elements for this object indicate that it was running only 10 seconds late with respect to my SatEvo predicted elements (previous "Impending decays" posting) at April 24.02. ------------------------------- Object #23803 = 96- 13 B (Polar r) is now predicted to decay at about April 30.8. It was running 50 seconds late with respect to my earlier SatEvo evolution at April 25.05. The latest OIG element is: Polar r 1 23803U 96013B 96116.43568066 .01943744 00000-0 62212-3 0 1334 2 23803 85.9024 351.1997 0183538 47.7218 314.0099 15.97371393 9539 SatEvo predicted elements: Polar r 1 23803U 96013B 96117.06157499 .02264750 90385-3 69802-3 0 91331 2 23803 85.9014 350.8158 0172497 45.1047 316.2832 16.00106131 9638 Polar r 1 23803U 96013B 96118.06072092 .02582955 12505-2 72929-3 0 91338 2 23803 85.8996 350.1996 0153235 40.9045 320.2357 16.04932525 9791 Polar r 1 23803U 96013B 96119.05664943 .03078351 21437-2 75349-3 0 91334 2 23803 85.8975 349.5804 0131252 36.6868 324.2024 16.10527640 9956 Polar r 1 23803U 96013B 96120.04876620 .03983531 43829-2 76971-3 0 91338 2 23803 85.8950 348.9578 0104866 32.4481 328.1925 16.17427209 10116 ------------------------------- Early elements for the newly launched objects #23849 = 96- 23 B (Priroda Proton r) and #23850 = 96- 23 C (Priroda deb?) suggest that both will decay at about May 18.
