    I suspect that #26305, 99- 57 GN, decayed about February 17.2 +/- 1.2 
    days. The latest, and probably final, elset is more than 4 days earlier:
    CBERS LM4 deb GN                                 378 x 357 km
    1 26305U 99057GN  03043.94310853  .02088577  00000-0  17179-1 0  1017
    2 26305  98.3762 159.5518 0015919 262.0016  97.9502 15.67044545156060
