33387 the R/B from the Shenzhou-7 launch is due to decay shortly. As at the time of writing (0544 UTC) the Space-Track prediction makes extremely interesting reading, but those with access will have to log in to see why! Calsky's prediction certainly does not eliminate the possibility of Space-Track's prediction being correct. With a 42 degree inclination it is certainly one for us to keep an eye out for. Unfortunately for personal reasons I will not be able to report on any observations, debris sightings etc or lack of them until about 2 days later. Of course things may change between then and now anyway. There is quite a high prospect of cloud so unless there is any actual debris to be seen should it land near New Zealand, there may be no sighting reports. Having seen this object soon after launch it would be fascinating to see it from start to finish!
