    SpaceFlight Now has a later story about the Astro-E launch with 
    more details saying that most likely the satellite has already 
    re-entered (if it ever achieved orbit).

    I was mistaken about the shape of the planned orbit, which was to
    have been a low, eccentric orbit with a 200 km perigee and 549 km
    apogee.
