    #25235 = 98- 12 C = SNOE Pegasus rocket
    
    SpaceCom has yet to post the final notice for this but it is clear that
    it survived for longer than I was estimating a day ago. I show this
    decaying at May 25 08:56 +-1h near 35.2 N, 41.2 E, while northbound near
    the eastern edge of the Black Sea. My estimate of the elset for the
    final equator crossing is:
    
    SNOE Pegasus r   1.3  1.0  0.0  7.5 d  1.0       132 x 126 km
    1 25235U 98012C   00146.36627928 2.02921669  50000+2  13470-2 0 98573
    2 25235  97.6193  63.8281 0004242 216.2298 143.7415 16.53987687124242
    
    SpaceCom's penultimate notice predicted decay at May 25 09:48 +-1h near
    44.2 S, 152.2 W.
