1504 UTC pass on January 3 was quite loud - and long - here in western NC. (Supposed to have been only 36 degree pass, but I suspect that isn't correct :-) )

According to the morning numbers from Space Track, ARISSat-1 is down to 191 km, and losing about 1.5 km per orbit, or about 1 km per hour. The drag effects are increasing rapidly, so TODAY would be an excellent time to make any last minute QSOs through the transponder. Thanks to those who are keeping live telemetry flowing.
This is one tough satellite!
