#20966 = 90-104 A = Cosmos 2106 My current prediction is for decay at Apr 7 15:10 UTC +-6h near 18.4 S, 145.7 W. The latest elset is: Cosmos 2106 4.0 2.0 0.0 6.2 d 10 188 x 180 km 1 20966U 90104A 00097.56198763 .03851930 00000-0 64108-3 0 5300 2 20966 82.4612 96.7891 0006061 254.2314 105.8942 16.33352898524752 This has this running 12 seconds late against yesterday's predictions. The new prediction involves another change in the atmospheric profile - the fit over recent days implying that the atmosphere is unusually distended. This may be as a result of the recent record high levels of solar activity, the provisional Sunspot Number having exceeded 300 for the first time during the current solar cycle on Apr 2. The final predicted orbit..

The southbound leg takes it over SW Alaska at 14:50 and E of the Big Island of Hawaii at 15:01. I put decay over the Pacific after the southbound equator crossing.
