I have updated my Decay Watch page following yesterday's decay of
#11056, the Cosmos 1043 rocket. Here is a summary:
_____________________________________________________________________
Object: #11056 = 78- 94 B = Cosmos 1043 rocket
Notice prepared: 2002 Jan 20 16:30 UTC
Final decay analyses:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SpaceCom Jan 19 22:24 Jan 19 22:09 +-7m 69.0 S 124.0 W
SatEvo Jan 19 21:15 Jan 19 21:50 +-90m 29.8 S 89.6 E
Final elset:
Cosmos 1043 r 3.8 2.6 0.0 5.1 v 8.7 151 x 144 km
1 11056U 78094B 02019.70309473 .11893238 -10315-5 24636-3 0 8169
2 11056 81.1475 351.4339 0005073 277.6600 143.8832 16.46856890279923
Note: No further elsets appeared, so my last pre-decay estimate
is unchanged. I put the decay southbound over the Indian Ocean
following a pass over eastern India at about 21:38. My SatEvo-predicted
elset for that orbit is:
Cosmos 1043 r 3.8 2.6 0.0 5.1 v 8.7 122 x 119 km
1 11056U 78094B 02019.87459202 .92052684 17909+2 39754-3 0 98161
2 11056 81.1440 351.1899 0002292 276.9614 83.0125 16.57247572279956
SpaceCom's decay point is 19 minutes further on in the rev.
