    SPACECOM's  2 HOURS BEFORE DECAY message - prepared Oct 23, 09:26 UTC - shows
    the decay on    23 October, 11:27 UTC +/- 01 hours (44.1°S, 28.0°E)
    on a southbound pass over border region of Atlantic / Indian Ocean.
    
    MPM + Reentry delivers now including the last ELSET 00297.373... the decay 
    on              23 October, 11:22.5 UTC +/- 08 minutes (32.91°S, 09.75°E)
    on the same pass over the Atlantic. My preceding forecast with a decay possi-
    bility over Canada was too optimistic. I have underestimated the slower in-
    crease of the drag rate (too high Ap !).
