There is another update to my Decay Watch page at http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/ with updated decay predictions and predicted elsets for the four decayers I mentioned yesterday. SpaceCom also posted a decay warning for #25929 = 99- 54 A = Resurs F-1 M earlier today, but I am convinced that this was an over-hasty reaction to an elset that suggested that the perigee had been lowered and the drag greatly increased. Although this object does manoeuvre from time to time, I do not think there was a manoeuvre in this instance and I believe this one elset is a rogue. Of the other decayers... #12134 = 81- 2 B = Molniya 3-14 r2 Decay is now predicted for Oct 23 06:00 +-10h. Apologies for omitting my usual summary of the eclipse entry/exit circumstances for this yesterday - I was just being lazy after a day's travelling and an evening battling with an ISP problem. In fact, this enters eclipse near southern apex, 62 deg S, at ~21h local time near perigee. Eclipse exit occurs while northbound near 5 deg N at ~03:30 as it climbs towards apogee. As the orbit contracts, the exit latitude shifts northwards. #25500 = 98- 69 B = SAC A Decay prediction hardly changed at Oct 23 12:49 +-10h. This has eclipse entry while southbound near 20 deg N latitude at ~18:30 local time. It leaves eclipse near southern apex (47 deg S) at ~01:30 local time. #25550 = 98- 69 B = SAC A Decay now predicted for Oct 25 05:12 +-20h #25917 = 99- 48 E = Foton 12 debris Decay now predicted for Oct 22 21:41 +-6h. This puts it over the Aleutian Is a few minutes after northern apex. The preceding northbound equator at 21:13 UTC occurs just off E Africa and the track from this point carries it over Afghanistan towards E Russia. The following southbound equator crossing at 21:56 occurs over the E Pacific as it heads towards its southern apex to the S of S America.
