Hello all,
Data continues to come in for the "MPC Upper Section" piece that
held Hakuto-R and Blue Ghost together until they separated. It
currently looks as if it will re-enter on March 15 at 12:06:11 UTC,
plus or minus about ten seconds, at longitude 69.006 +/- 0.040 west,
latitude 41.473 +/- 0.001 South. As usual, most of the uncertainty is
in timing, causing a corresponding uncertainty in longitude; the 0.04
degree longitude uncertainty is a near-exact match for how far the earth
rotates during the ten-second timing uncertainty.
This is in southern Argentina. I could imagine somebody seeing a
reasonably bright early morning display there.
