It appears that the object below, roughly 0.9 square meter RCS, will be making very low (84-85 miles [134-136km]) morning passes over Texas and maybe Louisiana and Oklahoma this week. It is necessary to have the freshest possible elements to get accurate predictions (ditto for Space Shuttle)! Right now Wednesday morning's predicted pass is very high SW-NE over San Antonio and Austin, Texas. Thursday morning's is earlier but about 400 miles east of Austin. Friday morning, with large uncertainty, it's predicted to go 320-350 miles NNW to north of Austin in twilight. On Alan Pickup's last decay list its predicted decay is Feb. 24.
