Today's second update to my Decay Watch page at http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ carries updates on the following decayers. #20338 = 89- 94 A = Molniya 3-36 Latest decay predictions: SpaceCom: May 19 22:11 +-1d 23.2 S 32.3 W SatEvo : May 19 18:42 +-7h 63.4 S 96.6 E I put the decay near southern apex, far to the S of India, on the final predicted orbit: Molniya 3-36 728 x 73 km 1 20338U 89094A 00140.73101257 4.67747593 11419+2 16349-2 0 98809 2 20338 63.2442 345.7381 0482961 247.3307 107.4923 15.55571832 77851 _________________________________________ #22726 = 93- 48 D = InSat 2B Spelda Latest predictions: SpaceCom: May 20 08:54 +-1d 6.5 S 153.4 W SatEvo : May 20 15:37 +-11h 5.9 N 89.6 W _________________________________________ #23098 = 94- 26 B = USA 103 Titan 4 Centaur r Final analyses of this decay earlier today: SpaceCom: May 18 12:56 +-3h 63.0 S 117.0 W SatEvo : May 18 12:58 +-95m 61.9 S 92.8 W My prediction for the final elset is: USA 103 Titan Centaur r 597 x 72 km 1 23098U 94026B 00139.49126924 4.64969560 16893+2 13436-2 0 90225 2 23098 63.0382 49.2456 0390945 258.1080 97.4827 15.78611119 5406 I put decay just a little beyond perigee on this orbit, while it was eastbound to the SW of South America. It is possible that re-entry came almost exactly one orbit earlier or later. _________________________________________ Latest elsets for the first two of these objects: Molniya 3-36 3141 x 81 km 1 20338U 89094A 00139.76208140 .05266150 12345-4 70339-4 0 8806 2 20338 63.3975 348.3515 1914961 247.3080 91.3506 12.15768501 77728 InSat 2B Splda 899 x 147 km 1 22726U 93048D 00139.65830513 .16471458 -27123-4 40542-2 0 8753 2 22726 7.0939 344.3578 0544571 356.3660 2.9937 15.14440311 99224 Alan -- Alan Pickup | COSPAR 2707: 55d53m48.7s N 3d11m51.2s W 156m asl Edinburgh | Tel: +44 (0)131 477 9144 Fax: +44 (0)870 0520750 Scotland | SatEvo page: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
