#25769 = 99- 30 B = Starshine I still show an earlier decay than do SpaceCom and Harro, with my latest estimate being for decay near a northbound equator crossing at 68.2 E over the Indian Ocean at Feb 18 10:03 UTC +-9h. This comes at the end of the orbit described by this predicted elset: Starshine 1.0 0.0 0.0 9.0 d 0.30 136 x 136 km 1 25769U 99030B 00049.35822718 .44592777 24402+1 41467-3 0 93220 2 25769 51.5669 6.9339 0000152 252.1749 107.8234 16.51380307 42073 This orbit takes it over E China to the Aleutian Is then down the E Pacific to landfall near Santiago, Chile, at 09:30 UTC. It crosses the S Atlantic and misses South Africa on its way to the Indian Ocean. If it survives into the next orbit, it overflies E India (10:08 - 10:10 UTC), Central and N China, the E Pacific again to S Chile at 11:00 and Cape Town, S Africa, at 11:19 UTC. SpaceCom predicts decay at Feb 18 17:37 +-1d near 40.8 N, 3.6 W which is close to Madrid, Spain. #25911 = 99- 49 E = Globalstar 33 Soyuz r I show this decay slipping to Feb 17 19:26 +-6h near the equator at 150.0 E. This is over Melanesia following a northbound crossing Australia from the E of Albany, W Australia, at 19:14 UTC to the Gulf of Carpentaria at 19:21. My predicted elset for this equator crossing is: Globlstar 33 r 6.0 3.0 0.0 4.5 d 14 116 x 104 km 1 25911U 99049E 00048.80913993 1.09822715 14142+2 25040-3 0 92526 2 25911 51.9231 228.4257 0009153 254.3046 105.5944 16.61350764 22857 See http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ for more.
