Geomagnetic conditions were very disturbed earlier today and there is an auroral alert in force for July 21. This probably means that the decay dates for the two current decayers will shift earlier. I'll be unable to post any further Decay watch updates until after I return from holiday on the 29th, by which time both these objects should have decayed. While I am away, I hope that the dklist/select/iridiums/etc files available via my SatEvo page will continue to update automatically. However, today's update of my all- object satbase file is the last until after I get back. ===================================================================== #24878 = 97- 35 C = GPS 2R-2 r2 (PAM-D) Current decay estimates: SpaceCom: Jul 23 09:41 +-2d 34.1 N 46.0 W SatEvo: Jul 23 10:01 +-18h Latest elset: GPS 2R-2 r2 (PAM-D) 832 x 132 km 1 24878U 97035C 00202.51655912 .10161026 37255-5 72020-3 0 3072 2 24878 38.7780 295.2513 0510507 183.0979 176.6654 15.27932186 73016 Predicted elsets for this, as for #26357 below, are on my Decay Watch page at http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #26357 = 00- 24 B = USA 149 Titan 4 r Current decay estimates: SpaceCom: Jul 23 19:28 +-5d 1.7 N 171.0 W (unchanged since Jul 16) SatEvo: Jul 28 06:18 +-2.2d Latest elset: USA 149 Titan 4 r 343 x 171 km 1 26357U 00024B 00202.43884136 .01328904 -71700-5 47403-3 0 1205 2 26357 28.6179 127.5554 0130165 206.3945 153.1333 16.06350857 11408 ===================================================================== Alan -- Alan Pickup | COSPAR 2707: 55d53m48.7s N 3d11m51.2s W 156m asl Edinburgh | Tel: +44 (0)131 477 9144 Fax: +44 (0)870 0520750 Scotland | SatEvo page: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
