We are nearing the end of the reentry window for the Kosmos 482 Descent Craft.
It could be down already.

Our last TUDAT reentry model forecast was:

10 May 6:39 +- 1.5 hr

nominally near Australia for center of interval.

We now have to see whether perhaps another (post-fact) orbit update appears, and
whether a post-reentry final TIP appears.

Discussion, updates, comparison with other reentry models:
