Earlier today I predicted the decay of Cosmos 2358 Soyuz rocket at about
June 28.72 (17:20 UTC) and reported that the Cosmos 2359 Soyuz was
running 0.7 second early against the prediction I had issued yesterday.
Since the OIG elset database appears to have been been frozen since
about 09:00 UTC today, I've had no further information to go on. Decay
is still expected at June 29.5 (12:00 UTC +-6h). Predicted elsets:
