ANDE has been even weaker than normal over the last few passes...
ANDE is under heavy drag. So its element set gets out of date in just a few days. So it is going over earlier than predictions. Could be you are looking west, when it has alredy past you and is to the east...
My keps were about 10 days old and they were late by 6 full minutes. Using them, I was looking west when it was disappearing east.
This decay will increase until ANDE re-enters.
Just an idea. Bob, Wb4APR
