[AMSAT-BB] MIR-SAT 1 (MO-112) re-entry

Dear All,

MIR-SAT-1 (MO-112) is decaying faster than we expected, a simulation done today shows that re-entry is expected now in a few hours.

We expect it to re-enter in the Atlantic between S.America and Africa tonight at around 20:00 hrs UTC, to be taken with a "pinch of salt" as using TLE which may not be precise anymore for calculations.

Also, MIRC and MARS will jointly issue a special Award (with some goodies, T-Shirt etc..) to the station capturing and sending to Satnogs the last telemetry before re-entry.

Please help us catching the last moments/words of MO-112, it would be really appreciated.
