    Note: This enters eclipse over Antarctica and leaves eclipse while
    northbound near 61 deg N about one hour before local midnight.

    Note: I predict that this will decay on the final of these SatEvo-
    predicted revs, possibly southbound over Western Australia on its
    way to the Bass Strait (between Melbourne and Tasmania) at 09:19 UTC.
