There was a minor geomagnetic storm earlier today and the prospect of
more in the coming couple of days. However, of the current decayers,
only #26085 appears to have been hit, with its drag rate increasing by
30% over the expected level. The following is a summary of the more
detailed information on my Decay Watch page at
http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/
#20338 = 89- 94 A = Molniya 3-36
SpaceCom did not renew its premature prediction of decay on the 6th. My
current estimate is for decay at May 20.1 +-2.5d
_________________________________________
#10135 = 77- 61 B = Cosmos 925 r
No SpaceCom prediction yet, but I show decay at May 17 04:14 +-1.1d.
The latest elset is:
Cosmos 925 r 3.8 2.6 0.0 5.1 v 11 230 x 215 km
1 10135U 77061B 00133.69052342 .01427492 -94235-6 81708-3 0 7397
2 10135 81.1962 224.9015 0011327 243.1803 116.8232 16.18880095259462
_________________________________________
#26085 = 00- 8 E = Globalstar 63 Delta 2 r
In two further predictions, SpaceCom has shifted the decay earlier to
May 14 14:43 +-1d near 17.4 S, 39.0 W. I now get May 14 21:23 +-13h.
The latest elset is:
Gbstr 63 Del r 7.0 2.0 0.0 5.5 d 15 296 x 163 km
1 26085U 00008E 00133.55027731 .03331127 11614-4 79955-3 0 2185

_________________________________________
#26114 = 00- 17 B = IMAGE Delta 2 r
I'm still alone with this one, too, predicting its decay for May 17
05:03 +-1.1d. The latest elset is:
IMAGE Del r 7.0 2.0 0.0 5.5 d 7.8 406 x 167 km
