With the addition of #23941 = 96- 37 B = TOMS rocket, due for decay on September 5, there are now five current decayers. Predictions for them all are on my Decay Watch page. The only two that are imminent are... _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #12547 = 81- 58 A = Cosmos 1278 Current decay predictions: SpaceCom: Sep 2 01:49 +-4h 56.4 S 89.8 E SatEvo: Sep 2 01:30 +-2h 36.9 S 13.0 W Latest elset: Cosmos 1278 1099 x 93 km 1 12547U 81058A 00245.82652698 .99999999 -53432-5 19348-2 0 2870 2 12547 62.7887 149.1991 0720867 197.8383 160.2506 14.90662796142425 SatEvo prediction: Cosmos 1278 970 x 95 km 1 12547U 81058A 00245.89309545 1.73180972 13651+1 22703-2 0 92874 2 12547 62.7821 148.9718 0633056 197.8497 159.8221 15.11401273142430 Cosmos 1278 821 x 94 km 1 12547U 81058A 00245.95880381 2.08519653 24028+1 23754-2 0 92871 2 12547 62.7718 148.7397 0531927 197.8615 160.1955 15.36276875142447 Cosmos 1278 643 x 92 km 1 12547U 81058A 00246.02336318 2.75908739 50753+1 25681-2 0 92872 2 12547 62.7626 148.5025 0408036 197.8737 160.6483 15.66967341142450 Cosmos 1278 392 x 90 km 1 12547U 81058A 00246.08647474 5.05848281 42168+2 30384-2 0 92875 2 12547 62.7444 148.2582 0228010 197.8864 161.2978 16.12235398142465 I suspect this decay is most likely to occur while southbound over the south Atlantic on the penultimate predicted orbit above. _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #26105 = 00- 13 F = Express 2A aux motor Current decay predictions: SpaceCom: Sep 3 01:04 +-1d 45.7 N 113.3 W SatEvo: Sep 2 13:37 +-8h Latest elset: Express 2A aux motor 3821 x 97 km 1 26105U 00013F 00245.77275509 .99999999 32273-4 37196-2 0 2063 2 26105 47.0377 176.8639 2232851 61.6735 319.0800 11.40512056 4577 SatEvo prediction: Express 2A aux motor 3115 x 102 km 1 26105U 00013F 00246.02643502 1.59500447 52375+0 56925-2 0 92056 2 26105 47.0259 176.0059 1886165 62.9886 315.0127 12.16353662 4609 Express 2A aux motor 2400 x 99 km 1 26105U 00013F 00246.26405527 2.12614431 11002+1 55985-2 0 92052 2 26105 46.9854 175.1626 1508324 63.8080 310.9152 13.03249518 4638 Express 2A aux motor 2141 x 97 km 1 26105U 00013F 00246.33947925 2.41462229 14989+1 55341-2 0 92054 2 26105 46.9733 174.8681 1362898 64.0945 309.3171 13.37377641 4648 Express 2A aux motor 1864 x 95 km 1 26105U 00013F 00246.41286203 2.82034205 25089+1 54031-2 0 92050 2 26105 46.9556 174.5655 1201940 64.3890 307.5399 13.75593982 4654 Express 2A aux motor 1557 x 93 km 1 26105U 00013F 00246.48403289 3.49658454 43368+1 53498-2 0 92050 2 26105 46.9396 174.2534 1016459 64.6931 305.4892 14.20127453 4660 Express 2A aux motor 1196 x 90 km 1 26105U 00013F 00246.55268143 4.76422926 10259+2 53818-2 0 92050 2 26105 46.9195 173.9295 0787804 65.0089 302.9669 14.75711582 4671 Express 2A aux motor 702 x 86 km 1 26105U 00013F 00246.61812439 8.98812468 50000+2 61884-2 0 92052 2 26105 46.8990 173.5891 0454199 65.3411 299.3211 15.57854078 4683 Note: The prediction is very uncertain.
