The SatEvo prediction uses Pierre's elset with the drag term replaced by .00646194. Leaving the drag term unmodified would lead to decay about March 11.5. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Object: #16683 = 86- 31 A = Molniya 3-28 Correction to my final decay watch note on this, posted on February 25: My final analysis of the decay was made at 20:30 UTC on February 25 and not at the time stated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan -- Alan Pickup | COSPAR 2707: 55d53m48.7s N 3d11m51.2s W 156m asl Edinburgh | Home: alan@wingar.demon.co.uk +44 (0)131 477 9144 Scotland | SatEvo page: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/
