#25176 = 88- 11 B = COMETS H2 r My current prediction is for this to decay at Feb 1 14:00 +-5h near 4.9 N, 34.5 W. SpaceCom predicts an earlier decay at Feb 1 11:22 +-15h at 18.5 S, 50.9 E. I place the decay near a southbound equator crossing over the Atlantic off the mouth of the Amazon, Brazil. That orbit begins with a northbound equator crossing over the W Pacific at 13:19 UTC and continues over Honolulu, Hawaii, at 13:30. Landfall over the NW coast of Mexico is at 13:40 and it passes a little S of Houston, Texas, at 13:44 en route to Miami, Florida, at 13:48. The uncertainty is such that it could decay two or three orbits earlier or later than this, some with further opportunities for visibility from the S USA, so check your local circumstances. My predicted elset for the final rev is: COMETS H2 r 13.5 2.5 0.0 3.0 d 33.6 124 x 109 km 1 25176U 98011B 00032.55493360 .95692861 94923+1 27524-3 0 97791 2 25176 29.9778 135.2954 0011475 253.5705 106.3032 16.58768826101610 See http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ for more predicted elsets.
