#20339 = 89- 94 B = Molniya 3-36 r
This decay continues to slip, with my current estimate standing at
Jul 4 01:20 +-18h. There is nothing more from SpaceCom. The latest
elset, showing it 2.4 min late against yesterday's prediction is:
Molniya 3-36 r 1264 x 91 km
1 20339U 89094B 00184.19117279 .23363499 47805-5 30547-3 0 482
2 20339 63.7364 358.5446 0831063 246.2536 153.8138 14.64872775 77062
__________________________________________
#21025 = 90-112 F = Raduga 26 aux motor
Final decay analyses:
SpaceCom: Jul 2 05:28 +-2h 43.6 N 101.0 W
SatEvo: Jul 2 05:10 +-90m 9.7 N 153.2 W
The final elset...
Raduga 26 aux motor 320 x 109 km
1 21025U 90112F 00184.10308942 .65866670 12599-4 72272-3 0 5514
2 21025 46.2992 196.2021 0159756 42.0742 28.4809 16.21966334131543
... has it 65 sec late on my previous prediction. It probably survived
its pass across N America at ~03:50 UTC though it is surprising that no
further elset(s) appeared and that SpaceCom's uncertainty in the decay
time is 2 hours. SpaceCom puts the decay over South Dakota on its
following pass which could have taken it from just S of San Francisco at
05:20 to Montreal at 05:25 if it were still in orbit. My analysis
favours an earlier decay over the Pacific to the S of Hawaii on that
same orbit. My predicted elset for final complete orbit is:
Raduga 26 aux motor 245 x 102 km
1 21025U 90112F 00184.15247977 1.61607568 84193+1 10387-2 0 95517
2 21025 46.2950 195.8953 0109655 42.3821 318.4598 16.37099446131556
__________________________________________
#26391 = 00- 35 B = Sirius 1 Proton r
No further elsets appeared and there is no change to the decay analyses
I reported yesterday
__________________________________________
#26392 = 00- 35 C = Sirius 1 Proton platform
Again, no more elsets were published. My decay estimate, based only on
the final elset, is more than usually uncertain at Jul 1 16:33 +-6h.
