    #25769 = 99- 30 B = Starshine
    
    Although geomagnetic conditions are still slightly disturbed,
    yesterday's episode of higher drag is ending more quickly than I
    expected. The indicated decay has slipped back almost into the 19th and
    now stands at Feb 18 23:58 UTC +-1.3d by my calculation. OIG has yet to
    post a SpaceCom prediction for this.
    
    
    #25911 = 99- 49 E = Globalstar 33 Soyuz r
    
    SpaceCom has posted its first warning for this, predicting the decay for
    Feb 17 15:10 UTC +-2d. I get Feb 17 19:04 +-1d. This enters eclipse
    while southbound near 12 deg S at ~19h local time, with eclipse exit
    while northbound near 43 deg S at ~04h local.
