SpacComs last update - prepared August 14, 17:06 UTC - shows a decay at
August 16, 15:15 UTC +/- 01 day (50.9°S, 104.2°E)
With the last ELSETs 99227.180... - 99227.548.... MPM predicts
August 16, 17:01 UTC +/- 03 hours (13.8°S, 139.8°E)
The solar and also the geomagnetic activity is low. We have again a slow decay.
The American Seesaters on the westcoast have a possibility to watch one of the
very last orbits or the final (?) orbit. Around 12:50 UTC (August 16) the RB
cross the Mexican / US border on its northbound pass over California, Arizona,
Colorado, Nebraska ect.
Also the next pass shows a small chance - again around the westcoast:
The SOYUZ RB cross the coastline at Eureka about 14:22 UTC on its northbound
pass.
An update will follows.
