Object #23889 = 86- 17 KH (GFZ 1 deb) is making its final revs as I
type this, according to my SatEvo analysis. I expect decay at about
June 12.1 and predict the following element for the penultimate orbit:
86- 17 KH
1 23889U 86017KH 96163.99455080 .50902255 14598+1 16983-1 0 90271
2 23889 51.6423 148.0579 0002802 216.3958 143.5851 16.24977472 2157
------------------------------------------
The more substantial object #20042 = 89- 41 C (Ariane 44L R) is also
approaching decay which I now predict for June 13.4.
Rather uncertain predicted elements are:
89- 41 C
1 20042U 89041C 96164.01637311 .25824453 36553-1 11422-2 0 96475
