I've just returned from a couple of days away at the Scottish Astronomy
Weekend to find that SpaceCom is posting decay notices for a GPS PAM-D
rocket. The following is taken from my updated Decay Watch page:

Note: I have this decaying northbound to the SE of Japan on the last
of my SatEvo-predicted orbits above, a day later than SpaceCom's latest
estimate.
