All,
As a result of lower solar activity in the past week, the decay rate of BY70-1 has decreased. The satellite may now be expected to re-enter around February 16 to 19.
The apogee of the satellite has now decreased to 313 km and the perigee has decreased to 191 km.

All,
If the current trend continues, BY70-1 may be expected to decay and burn up in the atmosphere by mid-February.
The apogee of the satellite has decreased from initially 520 km to now 426 km and the perigee has decreased from initially 216 km to now 208 km.
