    As it is getting lower and lower and nearer to uncontrolled reentry mid-2012
    
    (current orbit and SatEvo suggests August reentry date), it is vital that we
    
    keep good track of this satellite (03-009B). The orbit is quickly
    deteriorating 
    and we should strive for a near-continuous coverage to monitor the descend.
    This 
    could be a nice summer project for the N-hemisphere observers and provide
    both 
    observers and analysts with an interesting case.
