A summary of the final notice for #18332 from my Decay Watch page.
_____________________________________________________________________
Object: #18332 = 87- 73 E = Ekran 16 aux motor
Decay predictions:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SCC Jan 26 13:55 Jan 26 12:23 +-46m 9.8 N 82.5 W
SatEvo Jan 26 19:05 Jan 26 12:22 +-3h 16.8 N 76.4 W
Final elset:
Ekran 16 aux motor 452 x 121 km
1 18332U 87073E 03026.14031377 .34731338 13653-4 86308-3 0 2534

Note: My fibal analysis shows this decaying soon after the epoch of the
second of these SatEvo-predicted orbits:
Ekran 16 aux motor 267 x 114 km
1 18332U 87073E 03026.45039067 .95672740 26258+1 11059-2 0 92530
2 18332 46.6683 218.4820 0116633 353.1169 6.7244 16.30793398188352
Ekran 16 aux motor 181 x 109 km
1 18332U 87073E 03026.51139003 2.49917355 50000+2 15132-2 0 92532
2 18332 46.6640 218.1017 0054734 353.4923 6.4370 16.47859281188364
This puts it northbound over the Caribbean Sea, near Jamaica and
Haiti. Given that the final (so far) elset is for almost nine hours
earlier, the orbit of decay remains uncertain.
