The latest elset for the decaying platform (?) from the recent Kupon
launch is
Kupon Platform? 165 x 158 km
1 25047U 97070C 97318.65622069 .04336852 12438-4 25679-3 0 160
2 25047 51.6296 305.4648 0005021 266.5994 93.4649 16.41595321 325
This is 14 seconds earlier than my prediction yesterday.
A new evolution SatEvo evolution has decay about November 15.35 (08:20
UTC), but this is still uncertain by as much as +/-3 hours.
My prediction until decay:
