My Decay Watch page has been updated with the final notice for the
Optical Calibration Sphere...

Object: #26062 = 00- 4 B = OCS
Final decay analyses:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SpaceCom Mar 5 09:15 Mar 5 06:50 +-21m 78.4 S 156.0 E
SatEvo Mar 5 20:00 Mar 5 06:53 +-20m 59.5 S 112.2 E
Final elset:

Note: The final elset show it 118 sec early against yesterday's
prediction. This decay showed a relentless shift earlier over
the final days. I estimate that it decayed northbound to the SW of
Australia in the latter stages of the orbit described by the final
elset.
