    My Decay Watch page has been updated with notices for three decayers,
    including a new one:
    _____________________________________________________________________
    
    #25310 = 98- 23 E = Globalstar 6 Delta 2 rocket
    
    Decay predictions:
       SpaceCom: Sep 17 07:07 +-14h       34.5 N   100.0 W
       SatEvo:   Sep 17 09:39 +-6h        40.3 N   111.0 E
    
    Latest elset:
    Gblstr 6 Dlt r   6.0  3.0  0.0  4.5 d   14       216 x 170 km
    1 25310U 98023E   00260.29475123  .04538150  12206-4  79615-3 0  8647
    2 25310  52.8583 218.8943 0035621 318.4885  41.3433 16.29859268129964
    
    The latest elset shows this running 2 sec early against yesterday's
    prediction. I show this decay occurring northbound soon after the final
    predicted equator crossing... 
    Gblstr 6 Dlt r   6.0  3.0  0.0  4.5 d   14       119 x 112 km
    1 25310U 98023E   00261.39304530 1.57891681  24186+2  46426-3 0 98642
    2 25310  52.8509 212.8725 0005503 322.5923  37.3694 16.59257488130144
    This puts it over China to the W of Beijing.

    Object: #25995 = 99- 68 B = Terra Centaur rocket
    
    Decay predictions:

       SatEvo:   Sep 22 13:42 +-1.7d
    
    Latest elset:
    Terra Cent r     9.0  0.0  0.0  4.5 d   20       287 x 228 km

    This new addition to the Decay Watch list enters eclipse while
    northbound over Antarctica and leaves eclipse while northbound near 72
    deg N.
