I have just updated my Decay Watch page again with a prediction for tomorrow's Molniya 3-35 decay. The following is a summary... _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #20052 = 89- 43 A = Molniya 3-35 Notice prepared: 2001 Dec 13 21:25 UTC Latest decay predictions: Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude SpaceCom Dec 12 08:16 Dec 14 08:38 +-1d 7.4 S 108.9 E SatEvo Dec 13 21:25 Dec 14 14:20 +-6h 49.9 S 158.5 E Latest elset: Molniya 3-35 2196 x 86 km 1 20052U 89043A 01347.77438487 .99999999 00000-0 17176-2 0 4582 2 20052 61.9273 138.7343 1403047 264.0616 80.0089 13.31544340 93906 SatEvo prediction: Molniya 3-35 1737 x 78 km 1 20052U 89043A 01348.06874940 1.28411522 45053+0 96001-3 0 94510 2 20052 61.8564 137.8611 1138690 263.9777 82.9568 13.96166998 93959 Molniya 3-35 1324 x 76 km 1 20052U 89043A 01348.27974414 1.69670273 97199+0 98347-3 0 94518 2 20052 61.8305 137.1934 0881457 264.0579 85.8395 14.57950211 93980 Molniya 3-35 793 x 73 km 1 20052U 89043A 01348.48082829 2.91049442 44941+1 10645-2 0 94517 2 20052 61.7983 136.4863 0528152 264.1444 89.8134 15.44475769 94013 Molniya 3-35 534 x 71 km 1 20052U 89043A 01348.54506752 4.49800432 14185+2 11606-2 0 94515 2 20052 61.7856 136.2372 0345858 264.1753 91.8724 15.89956752 94022 Note: The prediction remains very uncertain. I estimate that this will decay following perigee on this final SatEvo-predicted rev, to the south of the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand. The track just after this takes it to the W of the South Island of New Zealand, then a little W of Auckland on the North Island. _____________________________________________________________________ Alan -- Alan Pickup / COSPAR 2707: 55.8968N 3.1989W +208m (WGS84 datum) Edinburgh / SatEvo & elsets: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/ Scotland / Decay Watch: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ * ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
