Summary of current Fobos-Grunt reentry predictions, round-up of predictions compiled at 15 Jan 11:00 UTC:
USSTRATCOM (14 Jan 20:30): interval 14:52 - 19:40 UTC
Harro Zimmer (15 Jan 07:10): 17:49 +/- 45 m UTC
Ted Molczan (15 Jan 04:59): 20:39 +/- 3 hrs UTC
Aerospace Corp. (15 Jan 06:25): 19:21 +/- 3 hrs UTC
Roscosmos (14 Jan): 18:36 UTC (uncertainty window not stated)
Listed are: source; time prediction was issued (UTC); predicted time and uncertainty interval, or predicted interval.
My own current prediction, using Alan Pickup's SatEvo, current F10.7cm flux and 09:21 UT epoch orbital elements: 20:07 +/- 2 hrs.
PLEASE take note of the still large uncertainty intervals. As yet, it is still impossible to realistically say where it will come down.
THE SECRET SPIES IN THE SKY - Imagery, Data Analysis, and Discussions relating to Military Space
SatTrackCam Leiden (Cospar 4353) is a satellite tracking station located at Leiden, the Netherlands. The tracking focus is on classified objects - i.e. "spy satellites". With a camera, accurate positional measurements on satellites of interest are obtained in order to determine their orbits. Orbital behaviour is analysed.
This blog analyses Missile tests too.
