Note: This is in the same orbital plane as, but slightly lower than,
the Proton rocket. Like Harro Zimmer and SpaceCom, I put this decay
on a southbound pass over the Pacific, to the SW of the Hawaiian Is.
Earlier that orbit, it crosses the equator heading northwards at
22:17 UTC near Nairobi, Kenya,
