    #22876 = 93- 67 B = Cosmos 2265 r
    
      The SpaceCom prediction for this decay has slipped to Mar 2 17:11 UTC
    +-15h near 1.0 S. 50.6 E. My current prediction is for decay at Mar 2
    14:12 +-5h. This is near a northbound equator crossing at 94.7 E, just W
    of Sumatra in Indonesia at the end of the final predicted orbit:
    
    Cosmos 2265 r    7.4  2.4  0.0  5.5 v   15       139 x 124 km
    1 22876U 93067B   00062.53142992  .50217049  25030+1  36156-3 0 98599
    2 22876  82.8277 108.5275 0011507  14.9862 345.0478 16.52928369334207
    
    This orbit before takes it southbound over E Canada and the USA, 
    passing near Toronto at 13:18 UTC and Washington, DC, at 13:19. The 
    next rev takes it southbound from N Dakota at 14:44 to San Antonio, 
    Texas, at 14:48.
    
    
    #25947 = 99- 58 E = Globalstar 31 Soyuz r
    
      SpaceCom's latest is for decay at Mar 4 10:58 +-2d. I get Mar 4 06:19
    +-14h.
    
    
    The latest elsets for both objects:
    Cosmos 2265 r    7.4  2.4  0.0  5.5 v   15       213 x 164 km
