The outcome depends on what F10.7 value for the influence of solar activity on the atmosphere you specify for the SatEvo run. You used the default value, but using the current value (about 70) by setting the appropriate flag on run it results in March 22. But that date no doubt will change over time as we come nearer to decay. I posted a small diagram showing how USA 193 is increasingly losing altitude over time the past year as part of my post here: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2008/01/usa-193-imminent-decay-in-news.html Helmets on chaps! ;-) - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
