    I have entered the NOTAM coordinates (+some intermediate omes in longitude)
    into a .pnt file and made a Skymap plot of the area, with some approximate
    predictions for Mir on March 11.

    If Mir passes around 10:10 on March 11, it will follow the longest diagonal
    in the area. That pass would be closest to Baikonur Cosmodrome around 09:30
    earlier along that orbit.

    It would appear that the date for the deorbit is now 20 March.
