Most odd, now at 98 miles and climbing. I guess it skipped off the top of the atmosphere which will have reduced the speed, the next descent may be the final plunge.

Now at 106 miles and levelling off. The UK is about 45 minutes "ahead" of the current path. I may go outside and look up

It seems to have disappeared off N2YO over Peru. Has it come down then?

It seems to have bottomed out at 73 miles and now climbing, possibly a few more trips around the earth to go.

From ESA:

The descent craft was seen by radar systems over Germany at approximately 04:30 UTC and 06:04 UTC, corresponding to 06:30 CEST and 08:04 CEST, respectively. There is no further update on the estimated reentry window as we are now roughly in the centre, corresponding to the red dot labeled COIW (centre of impact window) in the ground track track chart below.

n2yo site is saying it's no longer on orbit / unable to track it.

This site has a display that appears to be still tracking it, as to its accuracy, who knows ?

Plug in the Name / Norad ID of 6073
