The current elset from OIG on this observable bright decayer is:
IBol 2 Molniya r 2.0 0.0 0.0 3.9 v 198 x 157 km
1 24294U 96050D 98206.62476217 .04835231 87945-5 47600-3 0 8040
2 24294 62.7095 76.2793 0031753 254.9251 104.9063 16.35590657105986
This has it running 18 seconds early with respect to my previous
evolution.
My current analysis shows decay at July 26.36 (08:45 UTC +-4 h).

I am trying to update the latest official elset for this in my
select.tle and dklist.tle files (available via my SatEvo WWW page) at
about 15 minutes past every hour.
