The following two Russian rockets are decaying very rapidly - both are visible in the evenings from US and southern European latitudes. I could not get Friday's elsets in time for observing - Friday's ndot2 appears to to be 0.5-06, though elset 4 has a bad value of 0.11. Also, ndotdot6 appears to be around 66666-1, not 22546-4 ! These values for Express affect predictions by about -20 +/-10 on FRIDAY evening, -3 +/- 1 hours on SATURDAY ...... ! It may decay Saturday or Sunday evening.
