    2000-023B (#26355) SOYUZ RB
    
    MPM delivers with the ELSETs 00126.310... and 00126.402... the decay on
                           06 May, 15:38 UTC +/- 45 minutes (27.5°N, 154.2°E)
    on a descending pass over the Pacific.
    SpaceCom and Alan predict the decay roughly 3 revs earlier. But I see no reason
    for such a big shift. We have a low solar and geomagnetic activity. All para-
    meters of the SOYUZ  third stage all well known. The very reliable MPM method
    shows no indication for such a dramatic slip. But let us wait for the next
    hours....
