Report time: 11:50 UTC I was too tired last night (UTC) to update my MPM prediction for the 1999-048B (#25903) decay. But let me give some remarks to the comments here on the list. At first the FINAL REPORT from SpaceCom - prepared 25 September, 03:01 UTC- with this decay figures: 25 September, 02:55 UTC +/- 01 minutes (62.3°N, 178.7°E) on a ascending pass over the Bering Sea. I agree fully with Alans conclusions about the reliability of the last released ELSET - 99268.0444... - forget it. MPM delivers with the ELSETs 99267.801.... and 99267.983... a decay at 25 September, 02:53 UTC +/- 22 minutes (60.0°N, 164.1°E) on the same pass. SpaceComs precise decay time - based on positive or negative datas from their CONUS northern sensor network- seems in this case more realistic then my MPM results. An analysis of Mikes observation with a more sophisticated program confirms generally Teds and Alans statements. For Mikes position the maximum altitude was 17.63°on 01:36:39.7 UTC, Azimuth: 238.78°. It was definitely a shadow pass (start shadow: 01:33:18.9 UTC). At this time the RB was - based on the above mentioned ELSETs and the special model - on a altitude of 138.0 +/- 1.0 km. As Alan has stated, it would be very interesting to have some more informations from Mike about his observation. Harro Harro.Zimmer@t-online.de Berlin, Germany
