Object: #26772 = 01- 20 C = USA 158 (GeoLITE) Delta 2 r2
Decay predictions:
Source Prediction made Predicted decay at Latitude Longitude
UTC UTC deg deg
SCC Nov 13 11:46 Nov 14 11:20 +-17h 13.8 N 42.2 W
SatEvo Nov 15 19:20 Nov 14 11:11 +-2h 10.9 N 47.9 W
Final elset:

Note: No SSC decay predictions were posted during the final day of
this object, and the final elset was very slow to appear. I show this
decaying northbound just after crossing South America at the end of
the SatEvo-predicted rev:
USA 158 Delta 2 r2 382 x 110 km

Note: As with #26772, no SCC prediction has been posted since the 13th.
I predict that this will decay in the vicinity of the northbound
equator crossing at the end of the final predicted elset above. This
is close to Nairobi, Kenya.
