1994-021H (#23050) Proton DM stage Auxiliary Motor

This was an nearly unpredictable decayer - based on the released ELSETs. But also
SpaceCom has these problems They stopped their forecast with the message   
" 6 HOURS BEFORE DECAY" - prepared July 25, 12:55 UTC - with the prediction
                25 July, 18:47 UTC +/- 06 hours (30.1°S, 108.5°E)
on a descending pass over the Indian Ocean.

MPM delivers with the ELSET 00207.319... a decay more then 11 hours later.
But the last released ELSET  00207.622... shows suddenly a perigee below 70 km
and a decay before 15:00 UTC, a time around the epoch of this ELSET.

Let us wait and see what SpaceCom will finally say!
