Both 28871 STP-R1 and 29229 S-4 R/B are due to decay in the next 24 hours or so, though as STP-R1 has already had several "boosts" it cannot be certain whether it may receive another one. Calsky has both of these predicted to decay around 1600 UTC, Space_track predictions are not up to date. Interestingly both of these objects passed in relatively close proximity to each other near here about half an hour ago, but 28871 was due to be in shadow and although 29229 was expected to exit shadow I have mist at my location so observation was impossible. We have a good visible pass of STP-R1 tonight our time, currently predicted at 0539Z on 28 June UTC and an invisible pass of 29229 at 0843.
