SatEvo prediction: See Decay Watch page.
Note: According to SpaceCom, this has an RCS (radar cross-section) of
6.5 m^2, suggesting that it is a visible object. Eclipse entry occurs
while northbound near 49 deg S in the evening. It is better placed
after it leaves eclipse while northbound near 47 deg N latitude before
dawn.
