No new SpaceCom decay warnings have appeared on OIG's WWW pages, even for the Pegasus rocket that has now decayed. My Decay Watch page carries my updated notices for the following... _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #23210 = 94- 50 H = Cosmos 2287 aux motor Current decay predictions: SpaceCom: Sep 25 15:40 +-2d 26.9 S 102.7 E SatEvo: Sep 26 02:19 +-10h 26.0 S 148.3 E Latest elset: Cosmos 2287 aux motor 1263 x 96 km 1 23210U 94050H 00268.55495993 .30373503 00000-0 49432-3 0 7055 2 23210 63.9358 359.7905 0826644 206.9779 148.5881 14.64340936102404 The latest elset shows this running 1.9 min early against yesterday's prediction. I predict that this will decay near perigee on the predicted orbit...

I estimate that this decayed while northbound over the Coral Sea to the NE of Australia near the end of the orbit given by this elset. _____________________________________________________________________ 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
