I've just brought my Decay Watch page up to date. Check it for more
details of the following:

Final elset:

Note: I estimate that this decayed near perigee on the above orbit,
near southern apex to the S of the Indian Ocean.

of Japan on the second of these SatEvo-predicted orbits:

Note: This enters eclipse while northbound near 21 deg N in the
evening sky and leaves eclipse southbound near 5 deg S before dawn.
