Anyone know the Iridiums that have been deorbited? Or, more specifically, anyone know the status of 61, 10, 14, and 32? 32 is the most important to me as it'll be giving a bright flare near where I am soon...
[edit] and 84, my girlfriend and I will be staying in a dark spot where we should be able to see 84, hopefully it's still doing OK...
[edit 2] Decayed so far:
25, 72, 14 may
13, 29 april
94, 18 april
19, 7 april
Started to decay:
68, 10 may
21, 3 may
72, 27 april
25, 19 april
All decayed: 25, 72, 13, 94, 19, 23, 49, 43, 3, 34, 6, 8, 30, 77, 74.
It appears to take between two to four weeks for an Iridium satellite to decay from the start of the deorbiting process.
I got all my information from this excellent page here: http://www.rod.sladen.org.uk/iridium.htm http://www.rod.sladen.org.uk/iridium.htm
