Report time 15:00 GMT 1993 - 054C NAVSTAR 34 (RB) PAM - D SPACE TRACKS final report - issued Jan 18, 05:04 GMT - reported the decay on: Jan 18, 03:40 GMT +/-7 minutes ascending (21.2°N, 319.8°E) over the Mid - Atlantic after a long apex cross passing over the United States. Now look to the problem: MPM + Reentry (V 2.1) shows with the ELSETs 07017.667... - 07018.081... (SFX 080, ap 015) the decay on Jan 18, 04:32 UTC +/- 03 minutes (04.92°S, 153.72°E) over the Indonesian archipelago. Another different sophisticated method (based on King - Hele's program on orbit evolution) shows also a decay around 05:00 UTC. The last perigee passes are: 02:58:16 GMT and 04:26:55 GNT The last apogee passes are: 02:15:17 GMT and 03:43:33 GMT Looking on these data I am somewhat skeptics about SPACE TRACKs FINAL REPORT.
