Report time 13:00 UTC 2002-017C (#27411) MOLNIYA rocket "Platform" aka BOZ SPACECOM'S FINAL REPORT - prepared April 18, 21:38 UTC - showed the decay on 18 April, 19:56 UTC +/- 07 minutes (37.4°N, 289.9°E) on an ascending pass over the USA. MPM+REENTRY delivers with the ELSET 02108.7039778 (SFX 190, ap 027) the decay on 18 April, 20:06 UTC +/- 22 minutes (55.15°N, 305.72°E) also ascending over the Atlantic near the Canadian coast. BTW: I have never seen - at least during the last 2 years - such a chaotic set of issued elements. At first I suspected SPACECOM had tracked two different objects butnow I think they had only produced very bad ELSETs. I was using the only most reliable ELSET. It shows that SPACECOM'S co-ords have a very large cross-track error. 1999-065H (#25987) Pegasus RB 1 SPACECOM'S FINAL REPORT -prepared April 19, 11:27 UTC - showed the decay on 19 April, 08:29 UTC +/- 01 hour (18.4°S, 339.9°E) on a descending pass over the Atlantic. MPM+REENTRY delivers with the ELSETs 02109.194...- 02109.267... (SFX 188, ap 033) the decay on 19 April, 08:26 UTC +/- 11 minutes (09.72°S, 331.11°E) also descending over the South Atlantic. 2001-045F (#26941) Proton upper stage Auxiliary Motor SPACECOM'S FINAL REPORT - prepared April 20, 08:22 UTC - shows the decay on 20 April, 01:43 UTC +/- 01 minutes (46.1°N, 59.5°E) descending over Kazakstan (Aral Sea) MPM+REENTRY delivers with the ELSETs 02109.657... - 02109.679...(SFX 175, ap 067) the decay on 20 April, 01:41 UTC +/- 11 minutes (46.93°N, 49.11°E) also southbound over Western Kazakstan. BTW: The decay must occured within the range of some tracking stations between Kapustin Yar and Baikonur....
