The latest OIG elset for this object is: Molniya-3 Platform 252 x 156 1 24642U 96060C 96330.49201672 .04814803 84726-5 71218-3 0 893 2 24642 62.7885 35.2705 0072618 115.8412 245.0248 16.25698605 5068 This indicates that it was running 20.8 seconds early with respect to the SatEvo evolution I posted yesterday. The pattern of recent residuals and the larger than expected drag term are consistent with an increase in atmospheric density. The latter, in turn, is in line with elevated geomagnetic activity yesterday, after six days of declining g.a. (and slipping decay time). My latest evolution leads to decay at about November 26.67 (around 16.00 UT).
