Report time 14:40 UTC
2000-051B (#26484) Proton 3. Stage
In its FINAL REPORT - prepared September 6, 02:24 UTC - SpaceCom shows the decay
on 6 September, 02:17 UTC +/- 07 minutes (16.0°N, 315.7°E)
on a southbound pass over the Mid-Atlantic.
MPM + REENTRY delivers with the last two ELSETs 00249.887... and 00250.068... the
decay on 6 September, 02:21.6 UTC +/- 11 minutes (1.80°S. 322.78°E)
on the same pass also over the Atlantic near the South American coast.
2000-51C (#26485) Proton Platform
SpaceCom's FINAL REPORT - prepared September 5, 22:44 UTC - shows the decay on
5 September, 15:43 UTC +/- 53 minutes (34.3°N, 324.7°E)
on an ascending pass over the Atlantic.
MPM + REENTRY delivers with the last ELSET 00249.583... the decay on
5 September, 15:42 UTC +/- 45 minutes (30.82°N, 322.39°E)
also over the Atlantic.
Don't overestimate this good agreement. I have no parameters (mass, dimensions)
for the "platform". Is it really a platform or a casing? My calculation based
on an empirical derived ballistic coefficient from all ELSETs and from earlier
objects.
