My Decay Watch page carries more details concerning the following
decayers:

This enters eclipse near a southbound equator crossing in the evening
and it exits eclipse while northbound near 48 deg S in the morning.

SatEvo Oct 1 18:55 Oct 1 13:46 +-3h 22.5 S 131.3 W
Final elset:
EchoStar 6 Centaur r 2666 x 105 km

The final elset shows this running 22 sec late against the prediction I
had posted a few hours before. My SatEvo analysis gives me the following
prediction over the final revs...
EchoStar 6 Centaur r 1074 x 92 km
1 26403U 00038B 00275.45323861 2.89899079 39459+1 32884-2 0 91126

I estimate that re-entry occurred following perigee on the second
of these revs, over the S Pacific.

The latest elset shows this running 38 sec early against yesterday's
prediction. I show it decaying northbound off the coast of Angola,
southern Africa, near the end of this final predicted orbit...
