The most recent elset from OIG ...
C 2349 Soyuz r                                   188 x 158 km
1 25168U 98009B   98051.82197549  .05326359  41267-5  50765-3 0   193

... shows it to be running 17 seconds late on the "9016" prediction I
posted earlier.

My latest calculation suggests decay at about February 21.38 (~09h UTC
+-2h) and yields the following prediction:
