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: _____________________________________________________________________ Object: #22448 = 93- 7 C = GPS 2-18 (NavStar 30) PAM-D rocket Decay predictions: Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude UTC UTC deg deg SpaceCom Sep 8 07:39 Sep 10 06:59 +-1d 22.4 N 135.8 E SatEvo Sep 9 20:45 Sep 11 06:49 +-13h 29.6 N 147.0 E Latest elset: GPS 2-18 r2 3.0 1.5 0.0 6.5 d 3.2 462 x 138 km 1 22448U 93007C 02252.41520496 .07104018 40771-6 49864-3 0 4985 2 22448 34.5687 197.6829 0242923 272.9529 84.2884 15.90868122237924 SatEvo prediction: See Decay Watch page.
