I now place the decay at Mar 19 19:34 +-3h near a southbound equator crossing at 171.4 E, over the W Pacific to the N of New Zealand. The orbit takes it northwards over the equator at 18:51 UTC near 2.6 deg E. It then crosses Africa from Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, at 18:53 to W Egypt at 19:01. It is over Turkey at 19:03, on its way to N apex over S-Central Russia (Novokuznetsk) at 19:13. It is on this stretch that SpaceCom places the decay at Mar 19 19:09 +-7h near 42.3 N, 44.2 E. The track continues to cross NE China at about 19:19 and pass just N of Tokyo, Japan, at 19:23, which is close to perigee.
