It would continue across Europe from SE France (16:09) to Hamburg, Germany, at 16:11 and N Sweden at 16:15. _____________________________________________________________________ #26484 = 00- 51 B = Sirius 2 Proton r Final decay estimates: SpaceCom: Sep 6 02:17 +-7m 16.0 N 44.3 W SatEvo: Sep 6 02:17 +-10m 19.2 N 45.8 W Final elset: Sirius 2 Proton r 122 x 119 km 1 26484U 0051B 00250.06880200 .35629325 82147-5 14424-3 0 82 2 26484 64.8732 163.4609 0002206 217.9704 143.4338 16.57229087 110 Like SpaceCom, I show this decaying southbound over the Atlantic before the southbound equator crossing on the orbit given by the final elset. _____________________________________________________________________ #26485 = 00- 51 C = Sirius 2 Proton platform Final decay estimates: SpaceCom: Sep 5 15:43 +-53m 34.3 N 35.3 W SatEvo: Sep 5 16:11 +-90m 0.0 117.3 E Final elset: Sirius 2 Proton platform 153 x 144 km 1 26485U 0051C 00249.58316604 .29822857 77893-5 60361-3 0 47 2 26485 64.8260 165.3624 0007357 66.5911 293.6243 16.46596809 36 The five elsets published for this object are all for the same orbit. My estimate for its decay while southbound over Borneo is therefore uncertain. _____________________________________________________________________ Alan -- Alan Pickup / COSPAR 2707: 55d53m48.7s N 3d11m51.2s W 156m asl Edinburgh / SatEvo & elsets: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/ Scotland / Decay Watch: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
