Hi Joe,

Heavens-Above.com now has pass predictions up for the new Russian reflector sat "Mayak," listing it as NORAD ID 2017-042F/42830. http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=42830 (that's the page but no predictions were actually listed the last time I checked it.)

Plus Mayak has its own app, available to those who back the project. See: http://cosmomayak.com/default#mobileapp
