Updated details and predictions for the three current decayers have been
posted on my Decay Watch page at:
http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/
#7969 = 75- 56 B = Cosmos 744 rocket
SpaceCom issued two identical decay warnings within minutes of each
other yesterday, predicting this decay for Jan 21 11:39 +-1d. In fact,
this has been a very well behaved decayer which appears less and less
likely to decay on the 21st. My current prediction is for decay at Jan
22 17:41 +-11h.
#13964 = 83- 25 A = Molniya 1-57
SpaceCom has issued no further notice since Jan 18, when it predicted
the decay later in that day. I show this heading for decay at Jan 23
01:29 +-20h.
#26044 = 99- 73 C = Cosmos 2368 Molniya platform
SpaceCom has yet to update yesterday's prediction for this to decay at
Jan 22 10:36 +-2d. At present, I show this decaying one orbit earlier at
Jan 22 08:56 +-8h. The uncertainty is still several orbits, but my time
implies that this will decay while southbound over Tokyo, Japan. A
little earlier in the rev, it crosses Europe from Rome (08:35 UTC) to
Minsk, Belarus, at 08:39.
