I am pleased to report that regular updates of my elset files have
resumed following the repair of the computer system at the Royal
Observatory, Edinburgh.
Also, I have just updated my Decay Watch page with new predictions for
#26501, the Raduga 1-5 aux motor, and #26999, Jason 1 Delta 2 rocket. A
summary follows:
