    Note: I show this decaying while northbound near the equator crossing 
    at the end of this SatEvo-predicted orbit:
    Soyuz TM-31 r                                    146 x 130 km
    1 26604U 00070B   00306.54364862  .47431504  20990+1  43038-3 0 90171
    2 26604  51.6617 161.3192 0012675  87.3071 272.8380 16.50617659   204
    This puts it just S of Guatemala in Central America on a track that
    would passed just SE of Florida at 14:37 and across the Atlantic to
    S England and London at 14:54.
