    Against my optimistic view yesterday we saw later an impressive divergence
    between  the three predictions. A careful analysis based on the ELSETs
    00046.542...  -  00047.218... don't confirm the SpaceCom forecast for a
    decay around 21:06 UTC.
    I was checking two different atmosphere models. My standard atmosphere
    (MSIS-90) delivers:  
                       18 February, 14:24 UTC +/- 05 hours (21.6°S, 354.2°E)
    The second model (Jacchia 71) delivers:
                       18 February, 17:05 UTC +/- 05 hours (49.4°S, 297.1°E)
