SpaceCom have updated the decay notice for the (Japanese) ETS-7 H2 rocket: Object Notice issued Predicted decay UTC UTC #25065 = ETS-7 H2 r Jan 20 23:28 Jan 27 17:19 +-4d ------------------------------- My current prediction for the ETS-7 H2 rocket is for its decay at January 27.5 +-1.2 days. The latest elset is: ETS-7 H2 r 13.5 2.5 0.0 3.0 v 267 x 244 km 1 25065U 97074C 99021.72024748 .00993266 00000-0 11778-2 0 4165 2 25065 34.5274 143.6430 0017170 294.0422 65.8959 16.07001711 65338 ------------------------------- As Harro has already reported in another thread, SpaceCom has released the final elset for yesterday's decayer: Irid 11A CZ r 10.0 3.0 0.0 3.5 d 137 x 105 km 1 25579U 98074C 99020.82028691 .30965950 -13023-5 11712-3 0 1373 2 25579 86.3364 181.2047 0024630 54.8491 305.6288 16.57138475 5104 I surmise that this decayed near, or possibly just north of, the following northbound crossing of the equator at 21:08 UTC near 104 degrees east longitude - another one for the South China Sea which must be filling up nicely :) This is a few minutes later than Harro's estimate and a few minutes earlier than SpaceCom's.
