The following is taken from today's update to my Decay Watch page, the
last I'll be able to make until I return next week from my
eclipse-chasing trip to Orkney :-)

Object: #21150 = 91- 18 B = Inmarsat 2-2 Delta 2 rocket
Decay predictions:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SCC May 26 02:14 May 26 04:16 +-3h 23.5 S 24.6 E
SatEvo May 26 18:20 May 26 04:35 +-40m 10.2 N 110.2 E
Final elset:
Inmarsat 2-2 r 5.9 2.4 0.0 5.0 v 14 154 x 151 km
1 21150U 91018B 03146.06588605 .24065404 -13436-4 86061-3 0 9519

Note: The final elset has this running 8 sec late against my previous
prediction. I estimate that this decayed northbound over the South
China Sea following the equator crossing at end of the SatEvo-
predicted rev:
Inmarsat 2-2 r 5.9 2.4 0.0 5.0 v 14 143 x 141 km
1 21150U 91018B 03146.12644472 .47354751 28172+1 68333-3 0 99511

SCC's final notice has yet to appear.
