Note: SpaceCom began to release elsets for this previously-classified
object less than 24 hours ago, so my prediction is based on limited
data so far. Apparently not well placed for most of us, it enters
eclipse while northbound near 47 deg S latitude at about 02h local
time and leaves eclipse southbound at about 78 deg N.
