I have updated my Decay Watch page with the final notices for #2129 and
#5281 - summaries follow.
_____________________________________________________________________
Object: #2129 = 66- 26 B = P-35-15 Thor Altair rocket
Final analyses:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SpaceCom May 10 22:19 May 10 20:58 +-1h 15.2 N 120.5 W
SatEvo May 11 18:25 May 10 21:00 +-20m 15.9 S 126.9 W
Final elset:
P-35-15 r 152 x 134 km
1 02129U 66026B 02130.80350191 .33650100 30641-5 43769-3 0 8322
2 02129 98.1362 238.7780 0014147 284.4823 205.7739 16.48623635924628
Note: The final elset has this running 2.7 sec early against my
final pre-decay prediction. My new prediction for the start of
the final orbit is:
P-35-15 r 134 x 122 km
1 02129U 66026B 02130.84217008 1.20625903 31761+2 74053-3 0 98324
2 02129 98.1332 238.8285 0009196 284.3217 75.5763 16.54260986924634
I estimate that this decayed southbound over the SE Pacific.

UTC UTC deg deg
SpaceCom May 11 03:49 May 11 03:30 +-7m 73.5 S 115.6 W
SatEvo May 11 18:45 May 11 03:42 +-20m 23.7 S 49.2 W
Final elset:

Note: The above elset shows this running 16 sec early against my
previous prediction. I put the decay northbound over southern
Brazil near the end of this orbit.
