We have a new decayer as the Molniya 1T Platform moves begins its final
few revs. The following is adapted from my updated Decay Watch page.

Note: I estimate that this will decay southbound over SW China
on the last of these SatEvo-predicted revs. That orbit takes it
eastwards across N Europe from Shetland at 20:12 UTC.
