SatEvo decay list #21 (issued 1996 December 25) Here is a Yuletide batch of SatEvo decay predictions. The "Actual?" decay dates are estimates based on the final available elements. I have included only those STEP-2 Pegasus fragments which I expect to decay before the end of January. # Designation Name ------- Decay ------- Predicted Actual? 24439 94- 29 SV STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 14.9 24027 94- 29 BY STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 15 24467 94- 29 TQ STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 15 23800 96- 5 E Gorizont 31 SL12 deb December 16.43 24252 94- 29 MB STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 17 23963 94- 29 L STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 18 24105 94- 29 FC STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 18 24480 94- 29 UD STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 18 24426 94- 29 SE STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 19 23886 96- 34 E Gorizont 32 SL12 deb December 19.4 16551 79- 17 GJ Solwind deb December 20.24 24011 94- 29 BG STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 21 24363 94- 29 PQ STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 21 16805 86- 49 D SL-6 r2 December 21.99 23885 86- 17 KE Mir deb December 23.09 24432 94- 29 SL STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 23 24330 94- 29 NF STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 24 24471 94- 29 TU STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 24 23891 86- 17 KK Mir deb December 27 24045 94- 29 CS STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 27 24026 94- 29 BX STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 28 24595 94- 29 YX STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 28 23969 94- 29 P STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 29 24539 94- 29 WP STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 29 24591 94- 29 YT STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 29 24484 94- 29 UH STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 30 24570 94- 29 XW STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 30 24170 94- 29 HV STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 2 24241 94- 29 LQ STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 2 24411 94- 29 RQ STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 2 24469 94- 29 TS STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 2 24516 94- 29 VQ STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 3 24356 94- 29 PH STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 5 Note 1 24415 94- 29 RU STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 5 24508 94- 29 VG STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 5 24569 94- 29 XV STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 6 Note 2 24021 94- 29 BS STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 7 24257 94- 29 MG STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 7 24326 94- 29 NB STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 7 24452 94- 29 SU STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 7 24641 96- 60 B Molniya-3 r January 9 23918 86- 17 LE Mir deb January 10 24333 94- 29 NJ STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 14 24519 94- 29 VT STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 14 24050 94- 29 CX STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 15 24061 94- 29 DJ STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 16 24370 94- 29 PX STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 17 24578 94- 29 YE STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 20 24673 96- 17 MA Mir deb January 21 23852 96- 24 B MSX Delta r January 22 24592 94- 29 YU STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 24 23992 94- 29 AN STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 26 7089 73- 86 CH Delta 1 deb January 27 23023 94- 14 E SL-14 deb January 28 23695 86- 17 JS Mir deb January 30 23990 94- 29 AL STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 30 24483 94- 29 UG STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 30 24010 94- 29 BF STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 31 24616 94- 29 ZU STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 31 23923 86- 17 LK Mir deb February 10 23925 86- 17 LM Mir deb February 19 23917 86- 17 LD Mir deb February 20 1686 65- 82 AZ OV2-1/LCS 2 deb February 21 23825 86- 17 JY Mir deb February 23 22754 89- 89 P COBE deb February 28 Notes. 1.
