Report time:10:00 UTC
1998-051D (#25470) Iridium 79
SPACECOM'S FINAL REPORT shows the decay on
29 November, 09:36 UTC +/- 38 minutes (27.5°N, 80.3°E)
on an ascending pass over northern India.
My preceding prediction delivered
29 November, 09:45 UTC +/-07 minutes (69.95°N, 86.65°E)
on the same pass over northern Sibiria.
My calculations based on a predicted geomagnetic activity parameter (Ap) of
025. The actual value for Nov 29 released today was 050 ! and caused as one can
expect an earlier decay. MPM + REENTRY shows now
29 November, 09:38 UTC +/- 07 minutes (40.92°N, 80.81°E)
on the same pass over Central Asia.
