Hello All
With the program SatEvo by Alan Pickup I calculated the re-entry date
December 27 2011 with Kepler data
RADIOSCAF-B (KEDR)
1 37772U 98067CK 11331.09098689 .00238223 00000-0 11065-2 0 3555
2 37772 051.6354 054.9663 0005738 050.5984 016.1987 15.82161046 18004
I also calculated an apogee hight of 328 km and a perigee hight of
320 km.
