The #26606 decay is happening more quickly than I predicted. See my
Decay Watch page for more details...

Note: The latest elset shows it running 15 sec early against yesterday's
prediction. I now estimate that this will decay near the northbound
equator crossing at the end of the final SatEvo-predicted rev above and
to the south of California over the eastern Pacific. The track continues
in daylight across southern Mexico to reach Tampa, FL, at 18:17 UTC.
