Mark,
I tried with MIR-SAT 1 (MO-112) but was off in spite of expert advices by over 24 hrs, guess it is a lottery, point of re-entry not accurate as spanned over 4 hours.
I therefore suggest that we all keep an watch +/- one day of expected re-entry and it would be nice to capture its last signals and determinate its re-entry approximate location.
To motivate all to try to capture the last telemetry of F3, in my capacity of MARS President I wish to inform all that MARS will issue a special Award for last formal telemetry received from F3 and you will also receive a MO-112 national first day cover (our first 3B8 HAM bird being honored with a 3B8 national postal stamp, for your collection). Mark, we will liaise on the side to validate the winner data.
I take this opportunity to thank Mark for is great work maintaining F3 for the benefit of the HAM community worldwide for many years, personally I enjoyed working F3 many times, I believe that there are many others who will join me to give a great applause to Mark for his great contribution.
I will try to be at the F3 passing away just to say good bye (orbit depending), but thanks also to all the team who designed and build such a successful bird.

Hi Tim, thanks for watching FS-3 and reentry. Hopefully it’ll be able keep TX ON for the last day or two…it’s an informed guess really as to when, so hopefully close enough to not miss it!

Hello everyone:
According to my latest simulation, FalconSat will reenter on Jan 22, 2023 at 16:6:6 EST. Just wanted to let people know. It's not super accurate because things speed up unpredictably during the end, but it's a fairly good estimation I think.
73!
