According to Alan Pickup's decay message, it looks like the next big hunk 
coming down will be: 
 24294   96- 50 D   Interbol 2 Molniya-M r    July 26 
 
For the next few days it will be making illuminated evening passes at my, 
+41 degree, latitude. 
 
This is the latest elset for 24294 from OIG: 
 
Magion 5 r1 
1 24294U 96050D   98199.71282224  .00634560  83665-5  46750-3 0  7658 
2 24294  62.7213 104.3376 0050829 246.0129 113.5668 16.12094036104867 
 
As usual, you are probably better off paying no attention to the 
multiplicity of vulgar names.  Just don't get burned. 
 
Objects nearing decay tend to be brighter than you might expect, moving 
very fast, and earlier than many programs predict.  So be early. 
 
Cheers.
