In my table of recent decays, http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle/recent.htm
I have : "guess" NASA SatEvo
23957 82.24 94029E 960722.52 960721 960725 and in :
http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle/gif/23957.gif (960723) Mean Motion plot
(the SatEvo prediction was made before Alan Pickup's vacation)
i.e. my decay estimate after the last elset I found (same as above) was
about July 22 at 12:30 UT !
I do not usually create elsets of my own.
