Again, see http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ for more detailed predictions for the following... #603 = 63- 22 B = Transit 5A3 Scout X-3 r Current predictions for decay: SpaceCom: May 17 12:52 +-14h at 22.8 S, 39.7 W SatEvo : May 17 12:42 +-6h at 0.0 , 38.9 W I predict that this will decay near a southbound equator crossing just off Brazil halfway around the final predicted orbit: Transit 5A3 Scout X-3 r 145 x 139 km 1 00603U 63022B 00138.49850697 .74525859 65523+1 10802-2 0 96245 2 00603 89.8662 207.1808 0003999 252.8805 107.0757 16.48999852979201 _________________________________________ #10135 = 77- 61 B = Cosmos 925 r Revised decay predictions are: SpaceCom: May 17 06:13 +-14h at 50.0 N, 60.2 E SatEvo : May 17 02:00 +-3h at 0.0 , 133.8 E I put decay near a southbound equator crossing just N of Irian Jaya, New Guinea, though it may survive until the next northbound crossing near 57.1 deg W, over the Amazon. SpaceCom has it lasting for another couple of orbits.

Current predictions: SpaceCom: May 20 10:07 +-3d at 2.4 N, 101.0 E SatEvo : May 20 18:51 +-1.3d This enters eclipse just S of the equator in the evening and leaves eclipse near 5 deg S in the morning. _________________________________________ #26114 = 00- 17 B = IMAGE Delta 2 r Updated predictions: SpaceCom: May 17 08:02 +-15h at 39.2 S, 158.8 W SatEvo : May 17 09:31 +-4h at 15.7 S, 177.2 E I show it lasting for one orbit more than does SpaceCom, with re-entry while northbound to the N of New Zealand. It passes just E of the North Island of New Zealand at 09:25 UTC.
