I have a question about Norad #20957 (1990-102E, Gorizont 22 SL-12 ullage
motor). My records, which may be the victim of a typo, show that this object
decayed on 7/1/91. Yet, it appears in EL970601 with recent elements:
1990-102E
1 20957U 90102 E 97150.55137248 .00244185 43614-6 13628-2 0 7800
2 20957 46.4948 221.8353 4014098 31.2342 347.3842 7.57565571100915
This orbit is 177 x 8969 km. Can anyone confirm that there was an earlier
report of this motor's demise? --Rob
