SatEvo decay list #122 (issued 2002 January 4) These tables of my satellite decay (re-entry) analyses and predictions are posted to the satellite observers mailing list, SeeSat-L, and to the Usenet newsgroup sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe. Information about SeeSat-L is available at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html The decay dates are based on each object's published orbital element sets ("elsets") and, in the case pending decay, are included until 2002 February 28, although some larger and/or more interesting objects are included beyond that date. This and other recent decay lists are available on the WWW via my SatEvo page at http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/ Linked from this page are files containing recent elsets for all the Iridium satellites, all the objects in this decay list, plus elsets for other selected objects including the ISS, Starshine satellites, the Shuttle and all newly launched and/or catalogued objects. I also maintain a large file, satbase.tle, containing recent elsets for 8,200+ satellites. This is available in zipped form from the same address. # Designation Name Estimated actual decay 2001 4444 69- 82 ER OPS 1807 ThAg deb December 9.1 11216 76-120 AT Cosmos 880 deb December 9.8 26935 01- 44 B USA 161 Titan 4 r December 10.02 17123 86- 19 T Spot 1 Ariane 1 deb December 10.0 19108 63- 14 EH Westford Needles deb December 10 24014 94- 29 BK STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 10.9 24339 94- 29 NQ STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 11.2 25556 64- 49 L Cosmos 41 deb December 11 27011 99- 72 E Cosmos 2367 deb December 11.6 27019 99- 72 N Cosmos 2367 deb December 11.7 27020 99- 72 P Cosmos 2367 deb December 12.7 5591 71- 15 BZ Cosmos 397 deb December 13.2 27014 99- 72 H Cosmos 2367 deb December 13.6 20052 89- 43 A Molniya 3-35 December 14.52 27022 99- 72 R Cosmos 2367 deb December 15.7 24199 94- 29 KA STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 16.4 26426 99- 57 JX CBERS LM4 deb December 16.6 27010 99- 72 D Cosmos 2367 deb December 17.0 5981 63- 14 CY Westford Needles deb December 19.8 26797 89-101 S Cos 2054 Proton deb December 20.8 27054 01- 57 B Cosmos 2383 r December 21.6 13446 82- 83 E Molniya 3-19 r2 December 21.82 24318 96- 49 D FAST Pegasus deb December 21.9 27023 99- 72 S Cosmos 2367 deb December 22.4 4802 70-109 B Diamant B r December 22.91 24212 94- 29 KK STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 23.1 27017 99- 72 L Cosmos 2367 deb December 23.1 27009 99- 72 C Cosmos 2367 deb December 24.3 27013 99- 72 G Cosmos 2367 deb December 24.4 27018 99- 72 M Cosmos 2367 deb December 24.5 22298 92- 93 N Cos 2227 Zenit deb December 24.9 27021 99- 72 Q Cosmos 2367 deb December 25.1 3717 68- 97 AU Cosmos 252 deb December 25.5 27015 99- 72 J Cosmos 2367 deb December 26.5 21267 91- 32 B NOAA 12 deb December 27.3 26201 99- 57 CP CBERS LM4 deb December 29.2 27062 01- 49 E TES PSLV deb December 30.2 24133 94- 29 GG STEP-2 Pegasus deb December 30.3 26501 00- 49 E Raduga 1-5 aux motor December 30.46 4944 70- 25 GE Nimbus 4 ThAg deb December 31.4 2002 24766 94- 29 ABL STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 1.0 12702 81- 53 AW Cosmos 1275 deb January 1.07 26999 01- 55 C Jason 1 Delta 2 r January 1.75 24610 94- 29 ZN STEP-2 Pegasus deb January 1.8 #
