My posting earlier today concerning the BeppoSAX decay made reference to
in increase in geomagnetic activity during the latter part of April 30 -
I should have said April 29, of course.
I have updated my Decay Watch page again with respect to the decay of
#19332, which may well already have happened. A summary:
_____________________________________________________________________
Object: #19332 = 88- 63 C = Insat 1C Ariane 3 rocket
Decay predictions:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SCC Apr 30 15:56 Apr 30 17:41 +-1h 5.3 N 145.3 E
SatEvo Apr 30 18:25 Apr 30 18:28 +-45m 0.8 S 9.9 W
Latest elset:

SatEvo prediction:

Note: I show this decaying about now just to the W of Africa near
the end of the predicted orbit above.
