As I am not so much into maths on this topic, the only thing I do is plot the current heigth of ANDE in the graph: http://home.vianetworks.nl/users/hamoen/pa3guo/ande_predict_pa3guo_12dec2007...
One might conclude from this that from 220km to de-orbit the graph shows ~12 days, so de-orbit today + ~12 days = ~24 Dec. ... BUT: if for any reason ANDE comes down faster we're almost there !
There is a good bunch of activity these days; many stations Igate the packets, many stations make contacts via ANDE in these final days.
And: have a look at http://www.ande-deorbit.com for details on the AWARD
