The latest elset for this decaying rocket is:
C 2349 Soyuz r 225 x 177 km
1 25168U 98009B 98050.65709893 .02671205 40323-5 66033-3 0 135
2 25168 70.3840 342.6122 0036151 65.9881 294.4958 16.26906732 361
This has it only 0.9 second early against the "9006" SatEvo evolution I
posted here yesterday, though it had been as much as 6 seconds earlier
on an intermediate rev.
My latest evolution leads to decay at about February 21.3 +-0.3day and
provides the following predicted elsets:
C 2349 Soyuz r 220 x 175 km
