    Never mind.  I should have read the entire thread.
    
    Rod Sladen reported the below:
    
    "It appears that Iridium 28 (24948,1997-051E) suffered a complete
    communications failure on July 17, 2008.
    
    It was replaced a few days later by Iridium 95 (27375, 2002-005D).

    No.  Iridium 28 died on station."
