Report time: 19:20 UTC 1978-004A (#10561) Cosmos 975 SPACECOM'S 1 DAYS BERFORE DECAY message - prepared Sept 18,18:25 UTC shows the decay on 18 Sept, 17:12 UTC +/- 14 hours (8.3°N, 152.1°E) on a southbound pass over the Pacific. MPM+REENTRY delivers with the ELSETs 01261.219... - 01261.709... the decay on 18 Sept, 17:11 UTC +/-45minutes(13.71°N,151.56°E) on the same pass also over the Pacific. There are no passes on North America plus/minus on rev around the decay time. This TSELINA-D satellite is a big piece. Some sources give a mass of 4000 kg.I have a little doubt about this estimate. I suppose the mass is somewhat lower.
