Missed us, doing another orbit by the looks of it.

Back in ~86 minutes but further south.

Ok, who ordered orbital delivery from #AliExpress

11 tons, probably a mid-size excavator.

NB: times are in UTC, so ETA is in about 1 hour from now ± 48 minutes

EU SST

EU SST closely monitors upcoming re-entry of space object ZQ-3 R/B

Due to its inclination of approximately 56.94 degrees, the object can re-enter within a latitude band of ±57 degrees, covering a vast area of the Earth's surface, although most of it is ocean or uninhabited. The Italian Operations Centre, responsible for the EU SST Re-entry Analysis service, is working to narrow down the possible re-entry location and time. As the re-entry approaches, the predictions will become more accurate, but uncertainties remain due to the object's uncontrolled nature.
