My estimate for an elset for the final equator crossing is: Ariane V44 rDb 11.4 2.6 0.0 4.0 v 47 288 x 111 km 1 22851U 92021F 02241.68173097 1.54971554 56253+1 16345-2 0 96148 2 22851 3.7371 89.9553 0134526 357.1051 2.8178 16.27552934111084 I estimate that this decayed over the eastern Pacific, possibly between the Galapagos Is and southern Mexico. Given the poor elsets, the prediction is uncertain.
