[amsat-bb] BY70-1 decay estimate

[Nico Janssen]

All,

As a result of lower solar activity in the past week, the decay rate of
BY70-1 has decreased. The satellite may now be expected to re-enter
around February 16 to 19.

The apogee of the satellite has now decreased to 313 km and the perigee
has decreased to 191 km.

73,
