Greetings, Just copied ANDE FCAL (cat. #29667) on 437.385 during the 1140 UTC pass over EN62. Space-Track has predicted re-entry of May 2. It is amazing how low this "cannon ball" is. This last pass was a near over head pass and the range was 162 miles at closest approach. Height is 138 miles. Even so, reception is difficult. There seems to be many deep nulls in the antenna pattern of this bird.
Some packets from yesterday and today. All time UTC:
