Remark to Kosmos 2367 - 1999-072A (26040): This object exploded on 2001-11-21. Reason unknown, maybe selfdestruct system was intentionally or uniintentionally activated. Explosion created circa 300 objects, but only objects 1999-072C thru T were catalogued. Most of them decayed during Dec 2001. See eg. on my page: http://www.lib.cas.cz/www/space.40/1999/I072.HTM (Column with heading "Zánik" = "Decay") Therefore object 1999-072A is probably only the biggest remnant of the satellite Kosmos 2367 -- Mgr.
