1998-073B (25572) Delta R/B (1):
USSPACECOM released this decay information:
              Dec 29, 20:16 UTC  +/- 01 hours
This is in very good agreement with our predictions.

1996-069A (24670) Cosmos 2335;
The decay prediction from USSPACECOM (prepared 1998/12/29 22:33 UTC):
              Dec 31, 22:54 UTC +/- 01 days
MPM shows with the last two ELSETs (98364.35... and 98364.59...) a decay at
             Dec 31,  22:41 UTC +/ 03 hours
But the pure analytical SGP4 prediction method suggests with the last three 
ELSETs a pronounced tendency to a somewhat later decay.
