Report time: 15.00 UTC

1990-030B (#25769) Starshine

I have received a lot of eMails with questions about the end of Starshine. Here
the facts: The SpaceCom sensors reports the last contact Feb 18, around 15:05 
UTC.
The last official SpaceCom TIP report - prepared Feb 18, 22:12 UTC - shows the 
decay on            18 February, 15:45 UTC +/- 22 minutes (34.6°S, 308.9°E)
on an ascending pass over the South Atlantic.
Tbis is well within my last MPM prediction  - 15:38.5 UTC +/- 08 minutes over the 
South Pacific. But there some trouble comes in from a very late released (and 
somewhat strange) ELSET 00049-601...
Let me finally say: The decay occurs between 15:05 and 15:45 UTC over the
South Pacific or South Atlantic.
