I now predict the decay for a >northbound pass over Mali, northern Africa at the end of the final >SatEvo-predicted rev above. If it stays in orbit a little longer there >is a pass a cross Europe from near Marseille, France, at 21:37 UTC to >Bremen, Germany, at 21:39 and just E of Oslo, Norway, at 21:41. >SpaceCom now has a very similar decay estimate. The uncertainty is >still more than one orbit either way. The final pre-decay SpaceCom estimate is for decay at 21:26 UTC at 17.1 deg South, 2.2 deg W. Worth watching for from Europe.
