#20339 = 89- 94 B = Molniya 3-36 r Harro has already mentioned that SpaceCom has had great fun with this decayer, publishing a range of elsets showing it performing some startling manoeuvres ;) The latest elset for this is: Molniya 3-36 r 3482 x 76 km 1 20339U 89094B 00181.77144322 .99999999 00000-0 17848-2 0 248 2 20339 63.7489 5.3080 2087601 245.7799 91.1699 11.78480505 76590 and the last four elsets, since noon UTC today, are at least consistent in that I can fit a SatEvo evolution through the implied equator crossing times with residuals of less than 4.5 seconds. That evolution leads to decay at Jun 30 22:56 UTC but, because of its recent behaviour, I'd put the uncertainty at +-12h. There are predicted elsets on my Decay Watch page at http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ _____________________________________________________ #21025 = 90-112 F = Raduga 26 aux motor No further decay prediction from SpaceCom, but my new estimate shows decay slipping to Jul 2 14:56 +-17h. The latest elset... Raduga 26 aux motor 1184 x 108 km 1 21025U 90112F 00181.61168265 .13211648 -23023-1 33189-3 0 5416 2 21025 46.3610 209.6655 0765908 28.6145 335.5369 14.74756171131378 ... has this running 23 seconds late against yesterday's SatEvo prediction.
