Ballistic flight continued through the epoch 11329.87703674 USSTRATCOM TLE. Manoeuvring ended sometime between the TLEs of epoch 11324.94169617 and 11325.19110916. Updated orbit evolution for the period 11326.25097676 - 11329.87703674: http://satobs.org/seesat_ref/phsrm/Fobos-Grunt_orbit_evolution_v6.pdf Assuming solar activity remains near the low end of normal, STOAG propagates the orbit to decay on 2012 Jan 12. Uncertainty +/- 10 days, based on the rule of thumb of 20% of time remaining until predicted decay.
