SatEvo prediction:
Soyuz TM-30 r 6.0 3.0 0.0 5.0 d 17.0 122 x 120 km
1 26117U 00018B 00096.30112834 1.18265266 30492+2 47406-3 0 90106

Note: This should decay in the next hour or two, possibly, as SpaceCom
predicts, as it travels SE-wards over China and Taiwan on the SatEvo-
predicted orbit above. That orbit takes it northbound over the
equator near Kampala, Kenya, at 07:25 UTC, over Aden at 07:29,
and onwards to northern apex over S Russia which is where I place decay.
It then moves SE across China to SpaceCom's decay point and onwards
to a southbound equator crossing just N of New Guinea. It would reach
the N Island of New Zealand at 08:10.
