Decay analyses and predictions for two more decayers are included in today's update to my Decay Watch page. _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #14693 = 84- 11 E = Palapa B2 r (PAM-D) Decay predictions: SpaceCom: Sep 22 09:34 +-2d 14.1 S 168.5 W SatEvo: Sep 22 02:52 +-15h Latest elset: Palapa B2 r 192 x 155 km 1 14693U 84011E 00263.38768219 .03243152 -83897-5 25920-3 0 8252 2 14693 28.1138 152.5748 0028136 195.8843 164.0816 16.37213289912806 The latest elset, which has a too-high high drag value, shows this 2 sec late against yesterday's prediction. _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #25497 = 85- 56 F = Giotto Ariane 1 deb Decay predictions: SpaceCom: Sep 18 21:42 +-1m 5.0 N 3.4 E SatEvo: (not predicted) Final elset: Giotto Ariane 1 deb F 736 x 246 km 1 25497U 85056F 00257.44641319 .03961291 53835-2 21318-1 0 7987 2 25497 7.6427 231.8906 0356859 8.6671 67.8123 15.24914371219149 Only a single, precise, decay analysis has been released by SpaceCom. Although I have another four elsets for the same orbit as the final elset, above, there are too few other recent elsets on which to base my SatEvo decay analysis. _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #25737 = 99- 26 C = Terriers Pegasus rocket (stage 3) Decay predictions: SpaceCom: Sep 23 15:17 +-2d 46.5 S 109.3 E SatEvo: Sep 23 19:33 +-1.1d Latest elset: Ters Peg stg3 1.3 1.0 0.0 7.5 d 1.1 241 x 227 km 1 25737U 99026C 00263.53491795 .01392407 14786-2 11197-2 0 4860 2 25737 97.5737 163.4989 0010694 30.3091 329.8816 16.14613488 75865 Eclipse entry occurs when this is southbound over the Arctic, with exclipse exit over the Antarctic, also southbound. _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #25995 = 99- 68 B = Terra Centaur rocket Decay predictions: SpaceCom: Sep 21 15:31 +-1d 30.1 N 146.0 E SatEvo: Sep 21 11:54 +-10h Latest elset: Terra Cent r 9.0 0.0 0.0 4.5 d 20 240 x 200 km 1 25995U 99068B 00263.55240298 .02645337 29047-5 12848-2 0 4030 2 25995 98.2136 20.5132 0030470 215.7152 144.2081 16.19921928 42612 The latest elset shows this running 35 sec late against yesterday's prediction. _____________________________________________________________________ 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
