SpaceCom has posted the first decay notice for the Ofeq 3, the highly
retrograde Israeli satellite, but has yet to post the final notice for
Tubsat N1.

Note: The latest elset shows this running 8 sec late against my final
prediction. I have it decaying southbound over the Pacific to the NE
of New Zealand on the following (SatEvo-predicted) orbit:
Tubsat N1 0.5 0.5 0.0 9.0 d 0.46 143 x 137 km
