My prediction of a month ago was December 19th. John Heath wrote: Cute 1.7 Re-entry Its still up !! Space Track elements for 07:24 this morning (October 21st) assign a Mean Motion of 16.2309 and they have revised their re-entry forecast. Unless something unexpected happens it looks like the only serious contender left in the competition is Dave Bowman G0MRF who predicted October 27th. ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

Reminds me of the Chicken Little Contests when Vern Riportella was around. It was quite fun. 73, Jeff WB3JFS - Original Message - From: John Heath g7...@btinternet.com To: Nigel Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF ni...@ngunn.net Cc: Amsat amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 2:19 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Cute 1.7 Re-Entry Hi Nigel, Thanks for alerting me, and the list, to the upcommong re-entry. I have been tracking the orbital changes of the Castor Pollux pair with an interest. Their mass differences are showing up quite clearly in the Mean Motion. Cute 1.7 is different again being such a small mass, and adds another level of interest.
