This Delta 2 R/B from the Worldview 1 launch (but subsequently placed in a 112.3 degree orbit) is close to decay. We have a daylight pass currently predicted at 0312 UTC on Sunday, and looking at Space-Track predictions and the following it is not inconceivable that this could be the decay orbit: http://www.reentrynews.com/2007041b.html (We have also have a daylight pass very soon after I am writing this but it appears most unlikely that decay will occur this early.) It appears that observers in Australia may also find it useful to keep an eye on this object and monitor pass and decay predictions.
