SatEvo decay list #45 (issued 1998 January 3)
Here is my New Year edition of SatEvo decay analyses and predictions. The "Actual?" decay dates are my estimates based on the final available elements. Pegasus debris are included if I predict their decay by February 15; other objects are included to March 15.
