Hi Clive,
There was the Solar Max Chicken Little contest. According to the data I have UO-9 re-entered Oct 13, 1990 while Solar Max re-entered Dec 2, 1989.

Hi,
I was very interested in Jeff's and Dave's comments. Was there more than one 'Chicken Little' competition? AMSAT-UK took over the competition which was originally started by UoS. The winner was Geoff G3ENY, who sadly is no longer with us.
I spent quite a lot of time attempting to predict the 'burn-up'of OSCAR-9 and Salyut7. I'll put together what information I can find, and post it here in a few days time. I would be very interested whether any one can find any references in the AMSAT Journal or elsewhere, other than in OSCAR News, which I already have.
Seasonal best wishes to all.
