As Alan mentioned in his "Decay watch 2000 July 3" there were two reports from
Western Australia with a possible decay observation from Collie, a city south
of Perth on July 1, around 15:25 - 15:26 UTC. A candidate was 00-035B (#26391)
the Proton rocket. SpaceCom's FINAL REPORT shows the decay on
1 July, 15:10 UTC +/- 02 hours (64.2°S, 32.7°E)
The last two ELSETs shows this pass data for Collie
00183.35403958 15:22:06.9 UTC 297.577° AZ 74.497° EL
00183.46476004 15:21:49.2 UTC 297.624 AZ 75.786° EL
But also the Platform 00-035C (#26392) looks like a candidate. SpaceCom
predicted in its FINAL REPORT the decay on
1 July, 14:41 UTC +/- 04 hours (31.4°N, 307.9°E)
The last two ELSETs shows for Collie
00183.34349964 15:22:02.3 UTC 297.594° AZ 74.840° EL
00183.35352580 15:23:05.9 UTC 297.413° AZ 68.612° EL
The coincidence of these data sets confirms Alan's and my own assumption
that the last (three) ELSETs released for the PLATFORM are for the rocket !!!
SpaceCom in trouble....?
A more detailed reentry analysis is in progress.
