SpaceCom has issued a decay warning for #26403, the EchoStar 6 Centaur
rocket, plus an updated one for the Cosmos 2373 Soyuz-U rocket - the
latter decay having shifted earlier perhaps as a result of a geomagnetic
storm today. I have updated my Decay Watch page in sympathy - here is a
summary...

Note: I show this decaying over the E Pacific soon after perigee
on the final of these orbits.
