    #22968 = 94-  2 F = GALS 1 aux motor
    
    Current (very different) decay predictions:
       SpaceCom: Aug 28 10:03 +-23h       35.4 S   173.2 E
       SatEvo:   Aug 28 22:19 +-9h        40.0 S    26.7 W
    
    Latest elset:
    GALS 1 aux motor                                 974 x 110 km
    1 22968U 94002F   00240.39713586  .22152227  76942-5  54306-3 0  5645

    The latest elset shows it running almost 3 sec late against yesterday's
    prediction. I suspect it may not survive much beyond the perigee of the
    penultimate of these predicted elsets...

    ... with decay perhaps coming northbound over the S Atlantic. SpaceCom's
    prediction for decay is very much earlier.
