I tried to send this a while ago, but it hasn't appeared yet. Since it's time-sensitive, I'm going to try again and risk redundancy.... The Aerospace Corporation has an online prediction of the re-entry of 93-002D (22312, the upper stage from the launch of Molniya 1-85), which includes the predicted ground track, ground visibility area, etc.: http://www.reentrynews.com/1993002d.html They predict re-entry at 19:35 April 4 UTC (plus or minus seven hours) over eastern Australia at night. That's between seven and 21 hours from now, roughly (now being almost 5:30 UTC on April 4). ETS 6/Kiku 6 (23230, 94-056A) -- Tuesday evening is another possible opportunity for those of us in central and eastern North America at least to try to see if ETS 6 is what Mike Chini saw a few nights ago, about 2:50 UTC, south of Leo (basically in Sextans or perhaps a bit east of there). Looks like the weather will not be favorable here, again.
