#20338 = 89- 94 A = Molniya 3-36 SpaceCom has posted a notice for this predicting its decay for May 6 13:21 +-4h near 62.9 S, 167.4 W, more than one hour before I wrote this. I don't see the grounds for this prediction even though the latest elset has a (possibly too-low) perigee of 76 km (above the Earth's mean equatorial radius): Molniya 3-36 19050 x 76 km 1 20338U 89094A 00127.45459378 .18097974 15147-4 10608-2 0 8073 2 20338 63.4872 359.6587 5951242 247.0602 209.6258 4.31391543 76873 I estimate that this will decay at about May 16.4 +-4d. #26355 = 00- 23 B = Cosmos 2370 Soyuz rocket SpaceCom has yet to post its post-decay notice for this, but the one before predicted decay for May 6 10:18 +-1h at 64.4 S, 9.0 W. The latest, and probably final, elset shows it 3.6 sec early with respect to the prediction I posted several hours ago: C 2370 Soyuz r 6.0 3.0 0.0 5.0 d 15 144 x 122 km 1 26355U 00023B 00127.38036372 .30584338 80411-5 20757-3 0 233 2 26355 64.7779 87.8658 0016729 66.7364 293.9074 16.52506309 463 I estimate that this decayed near the following northbound equator crossing over the Indian Ocean at May 6 10:35 +-15m and 64.4 E. If it survived, it would have reached Bombay, India, at 10:39 UTC and Delhi at 10:42.
