From the UK the 76-38 NOSSs are now visible before dawn, quite bright and fast as their local height is now below 500km! (This will continue to fall as their eccentricity increases due to the pear-shape of the Earth, and perigee moves away from the ascending node). I saw three of them this morning July 25/26 - A was 1.2 mins late, and C and J 0.9 mins late on these home-brewed elements. Observations to follow later. David.
