... have epochs only 2.5 sec apart but are surprisingly different - both
cannot be correct and I suspect the final one is bad.
I place the decay late on that same orbit, while northbound near
Chatham Is, to the east of New Zealand at Jun 16 12:50 +-20m and 41.9 S,
173.2 E. SpaceCom's final decay report is yet to be issued but its final
pre-decay prediction was for decay at Jun 16 12:48 +-1h near 65.6 S,
163.6 E.
