Week in Space Data, every Friday.
TIP message of 4 Nov, 12:45 UTC.
Between 13:53 and 15:53 UTC on Wed 4 Nov
Predicted 14:53 UTC, plus or minus 1 hour.
The window closed at 15:53 UTC on Wed 4 Nov. We hold no Space-Track decay record for it yet.
That window spans about 1 orbit, so it could come down anywhere along about 1 lap of its path, between about 43°S and 43°N.
Space-Track update of 4 Nov, 12:45 UTC. This message gives no time for the next Space-Track update.
Between 13:53 and 15:53 UTC the object makes about 1 lap between about 43°S and 43°N. The shaded band shows the latitudes it passes over. It could come down anywhere in this band, or burn up entirely.
We email you when Space-Track's prediction for STARLINK-32664 moves by more than an hour and more than half its previous window, or first narrows below 2 hours, at most once every 6 hours, and once when it is recorded as re-entered. No account. Stop in one click. Not for safety decisions.

Only the latitude band is shown: paths computed from the latest orbital elements did not match the prediction closely enough to draw. Map: Natural Earth (public domain), equirectangular.

The bars (wider screens) draw each window on one time axis, with a tick at the predicted time. The window is read as plus or minus that many minutes; Space-Track's documentation does not define the unit, so we cross-check it against NASA and ESA (see How we read these predictions).
