A summary of the final notices for the two latest decayers: ____________________________________________________________________ Object: #15679 = 85- 35 C = GStar 1 Ariane 3 rocket Final decay analyses: Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude UTC UTC deg deg SpaceCom Mar 27 19:07 Mar 27 17:43 +-2h 0.0 N 25.0 E SatEvo Mar 27 23:15 Mar 27 17:37 +-10m 3.0 S 1.4 E Final elset: GStar 1 Ariane 3 r 261 x 113 km 1 15679U 85035C 02086.67815157 .86040068 -35625-4 91360-3 0 1504 2 15679 6.4985 118.5911 0112803 299.1047 61.4789 16.32169231222178 Note: I show this decaying to the s of the Gulf of Guinea just prior to a pass across central Africa. SpaceCom's decay point is a little further on, over the Dem. Rep of Congo. _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #27393 = 02- 12 C = GRACE 1 Briz-KM rocket Final decay analyses: Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude UTC UTC deg deg SpaceCom Mar 27 07:41 Mar 27 07:18 +-7m 57.0 S 58.0 E SatEvo Mar 27 23:30 Mar 27 07:10 +-20m 87.1 S 98.5 W Final elset: GRACE 1 Briz-KM r 170 x 102 km 1 27393U 02012C 02086.21805582 .26738923 -16047-5 13186-3 0 487 2 27393 88.9910 353.0353 0052206 240.4976 267.0541 16.51252679 1572 Note: Although there is a decent arc of uncertainty, I have this decaying near southern apex over Antarctica on the orbit given by this SatEvo-predicted elset: GRACE 1 Briz-KM r 154 x 100 km 1 27393U 02012C 02086.25371329 .48745162 17027+1 19809-3 0 90485 2 27393 88.9889 353.0295 0041364 240.3327 119.2547 16.54607204 1580 _____________________________________________________________________ Alan -- Alan Pickup / COSPAR 2707: 55.8968N 3.1989W +208m (WGS84 datum) Edinburgh / SatEvo & elsets: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/ Scotland / Decay Watch: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ * ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
