I have updated my prediction for the decay of #25920, the Ikonos Orbit
Adjust Module, to September 28 20:42 UTC +-3h. This is only a few
minutes after it crosses northwards over Europe from S Italy at 20:27
UTC to Berlin (20:30) and Oslo (20:32). SpaceCom still has it decaying
more than one orbit earlier and the actual point depends on how this
object is affected by any atmospheric flow transition over the final few
revs. Predicted elsets at:
