SpaceCom has posted decay notices for both LEO objects from the
PanAmSat-10 launch.

Object: #26767 = 01- 19 C = PAS-10 Proton r1
Decay predictions:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SpaceCom May 15 19:02 May 16 20:13 +-16h 0.4 N 107.6 W
SatEvo May 15 20:15 May 17 12:44 +-18h
Latest elset:
PAS-10 Proton r1 207 x 151 km

SatEvo prediction: See my Decay Watch page.
Note: The SatEvo prediction is based on a poor spread of elsets
and is uncertain.

Object: #26768 = 01- 19 C = PAS-10 Proton casing (aka platform)
Decay analyses:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SpaceCom May 15 14:59 May 15 16:44 +-1h 38.9 S 6.8 W
SatEvo May 15 18:15 May 15 16:29 +-30m 14.7 S 32.3 W
Final elset:
PAS-10 Proton casing 141 x 129 km
1 26768U 01019C 01135.65341164 .99999999 12698-4 83189-3 0 52

Note: I show this decaying a little beyond the southbound equator
crossing on the above orbit. This puts it over the Atlantic to the E
of Brazil. SpaceCom's final notice has not yet appeared.
