SCC has posted the first decay warning for the Delta 2 r2 that launched
USA 158, the NRO's GeoLITE satellite, in May last year. The first
unclassified elsets for this appeared only this weekend.
The following is a summary of the latest updates to my Decay Watch page
- check the page for predicted elsets.
