    #22968 = 94-  2 F = GALS 1 aux motor
    
    Current decay predictions:
       SpaceCom: Aug 28 18:34 +-15h       41.2 N   150.7 W
       SatEvo:   Aug 28 22:19 +-5h        39.7 S    20.5 W
    
    Latest elset:

    This elset shows this running only 0.7 sec late on yesterday's
    prediction. I still expect this to decay a little beyond the perigee,
    possibly northbound over the S Atlantic, on the penultimate of these
    predicted orbits:
