    #26043 = 99- 73 B = Cosmos 2368 r1
    
    The final elset...
    
    Cosmos 2368 r1   4.0  0.0  0.0  5.0 d   12       141 x 125 km
    1 26043U 99073B   00038.53891237  .37504867  90645-5  27182-3 0  1266

    ...shows this running  4.7 sec early with respect to the SatEvo
    evolution I posted 12 hours ago. I think this probably decayed late on
    the above orbit at Feb 7 14:13 UTC +-15m near 35.7 S, 161.3 E. This
    places it northbound between Australia and New Zealand, in good
    agreement with SpaceCom's final estimate of decay at Feb 7 14:14 +-7m at
    30.0 S, 167.1 E.
