     From my updated Decay Watch page. Remember also that I now list all 
    recent decays on that page.

    Final analyses:

    Final elset:
    Ofeq5 Shavit r   3.0  1.2  0.0  6.0 d    4       158 x 136 km
    1 27435U 02025B   02243.50308873  .39916970 -19775-4  59927-3 0  1721
    2 27435 143.4452  98.6637 0017333 204.7496 155.4810 16.47081441 14728
    
    Note: The final elset shows this running 8 sec late against my
    prediction of the previous day. This probably decayed around the
    end of that orbit, possibly ascending in the vicinity of Equador.
