Note: The final elset has a too-low drag term and some of the recent
perigee heights are suspect. I have this decaying over Tanzania on the
following SatEvo-predicted rev:
Atlantic Bird 2 Ariane 44P r 547 x 89 km
1 26928U 01042B 02223.59635397 2.83204287 62440+1 18344-2 0 93908

A decay one orbit earlier or later cannot be ruled out.
