Re-entry predictions range from May 30 to June 6. Based on SatEvo, the elset I ran on Friday gives a re-entry date of June 3rd.

Last chance for those folks out there who are capable to turning on and listening to the RAFT transponder over the Southern U.S. Please, isn't anybody out there able to do it? I started on the project just after graduating college (my first job!), worked on it while unemployed, and built the transponder during a hot summer night on my coffee table. I would really like to know how well it works. Certainly, Bob Bruninga and his students @ USNA, and the radar transponder team would as well...

Please see Bob Bruninga's website for details.
