The R/B should be due to decay soon. I say "should be" because Space-Track information cannot be repeated here and isn't that helpful anyway. Calsky initially showed this as decaying in the next few hours but now does not show any decay, a look at the predictions indicates some problem which is probably related to a problem with Space-Track's TLEs. No other information appears to be available from other sites. It is interesting to note on Space-track the epochs when you ask for last 5 elsets and for last elset! Hopefully Daniel may be able to assist us again with his valuable and accurate work. As far as I can determine using best available information we have daylight passes at 1956 and 0204 UTC. However conditions are poor here. Those further south of here may have some other chances which are too low elevation at this location. In view of 51 degree elevation of ISS and associated hardware I continue to be in suspense whether there will ever be a visible decay of something down here.
