#20496 = 90- 15 A = LACE (USA 51)
This decay accelerated sharply over the past day, perhaps as a result of
the intense geomagnetic storm that has been raging. LACE has already
decayed, at May 24 14:27 UTC +-2h near 18.2 N, 60.5 E, according to
SpaceCom's final notice. This puts it northbound over the Arabian Sea on
a track that would have carried it onwards over northern India.

#25235 = 98- 12 C = SNOE Pegasus rocket
Latest decay predictions:
SpaceCom: May 25 05:18 +-14h 35.5 S 83.5 W
SatEvo : May 25 05:52 +-2h 3.6 N 92.1 E
Despite the geomagnetic storm, the latest elset...
SNOE Pegasus r 1.3 1.0 0.0 7.5 d 1.0 202 x 194 km
1 25235U 98012C 00145.81584494 .09923823 27094-5 27494-2 0 8507
2 25235 97.6393 63.1599 0006262 175.3501 184.7833 16.27919559124158
... has this running only 18 sec early against yesterday's prediction. I
show it decaying close to a northbound equator crossing over the eastern
Indian Ocean at May 25 05:52 +-2h near 3.6 N, 92.1 E. Earlier on that
orbit there is a southbound pass over the Gulf of St Lawrence and Nova
Scotia at 04:56 UTC that continues over the Caribbean to Bogota,
Colombia, at 05:06 and Lima, Peru, at 05:11. SpaceCom predicts the decay
further south on that leg, over the eastern Pacific to the W of Chile at
May 25 05:18 +-14h (35.5 S, 83.5 W). My predicted elset for the
beginning of the final rev:
SNOE Pegasus r 1.3 1.0 0.0 7.5 d 1.0 154 x 150 km
1 25235U 98012C 00146.18315769 .61255107 28780+1 18782-2 0 98503
2 25235 97.6339 63.6008 0003073 173.8379 186.1659 16.45089136124219
