Not too many decayers of late and even fewer of my Decay Watch notes
on SeeSat. I have just updated my Decay Watch page with the latest
notices for #27778, an aux motor from the Cosmos 2397 launch. Check the
page for SCC and my own notices for several other recent decayers, plus
my just-updated analyses of all recent decayed objects. A summary of the
#27778 posting:
