Default UARS Satellite orbit information (11:30 pm EST)

As of 10:30 pm EST (1 hour ago) Nasa was expecting the satellite to
re-enter during a 1-hour window between 11:45 pm and 12:45 am. This
would be during it's final orbit to pass over North America, which I
think will start at 11:30 or 11:35 near Portland OR.

During that 1-hour time period, the satellite will be passing over
Canada and Africa, as well as vast areas of the Pacific, Atlantic and
Indian oceans.

The satellite is currently over Madagascar.

Correction - the final orbit over north america will start 12:30 - 12:35
(EST) about 1 hour from now.

So NASA expects that the satellite could start re-entry in about 10
minutes (very close to antarctica) and the re-entry window should be
almost closed by the time it comes over north america near Portland. I
think it will pass directly over New Zealand during this time.
