28896 2000-078B The Floating Potential Probe released from the ISS on 8 November 2005 is due to decay within the next day or so. With an inclination of 51.6 degrees and a number of daylight passes including some very close to predicted decay (I cannot specify the time in here owing to SpaceTrack restrictions, but the information that it is decaying is publicly available) it would be advisable to keep a lookout in this region. Its dimensions are 1m by 1m by 1m.
