#23887 = 96- 34 F = Gorizont 32 aux motor My latest analysis shows little change to my prediction for this decay, now giving Mar 12 20:29 UTC +-18h. SpaceCom's time has slipped into the 12th, but is still much earlier at Mar 12 01:21 +-2d. This is one of those objects which I expect to last a few extra orbits because of the effective decrease in drag coefficient as the perigee dips lower - without this (very uncertain) effect, the decay could easily be six hours earlier than I predict. The latest elset for this is: Gorizont 32 aux motor 1036 x 133 km 1 23887U 96034F 00069.76252627 .12542001 00000-0 10862-2 0 3507 2 23887 46.3508 272.2443 0648717 356.2433 3.4303 14.94263451 77397 As usual, there are more details, plus predicted elsets on my Decay Watch page at http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ Unfortunately, a trip means that I'll probably be unable to update my prediction again until after the decay.
