    Cosmos 2399 appears to have exploded.
    
    USSTRATCOM has issued single elsets for 12 additional pieces, a number of which
    departed at high velocity. Several pieces remain in about the same orbit as
    payload. High rates of decay suggest these are mainly low-density objects.
    
    The pieces that departed at the highest velocity, appear to have done so on 2003
    Dec 09 between 01:20 - 01:26 UTC, during a pass over Russia.
