As BeppoSAX nears its decay, here is a summary of the latest update to
my Decay Watch page.

Note: I estimate that this will decay near northern apex over the
Horn of Africa on the last of my SatEvo-predicted revs above.

Note: We are lacking both recent elsets and updated SCC predictions
for this very interesting decayer. I show it decaying over the eastern
Pacific, well to the south of California, on the last of my predicted
revs.
