As of midday AEST ... the darker red path is its current most likely pass on which it will burn up on re-entry. Current position on this image is just East of South America ... its alt is currently 138km

Ta Ken ... You'd think that satellite tracker website which I posted the image from would've updated their site by midday wouldn't you! They are supposed to be tracking it but still showed it 138km up 2 hours after it had gone. LOL!
