Stratcom has a capability independent from circle A? The very point of
Aerospace was to do this work so warfighters could focus....

Argue with Aerospace Corp, not me.
FWIW earlier I saw mention of a Stratcom prediction showing it a
half-hour later than Aerospace. That'd put the center of the window
over Africa/the Middle east, FWIW.
If we're still taking guesses for the pool, I'll go for a bit over a
half-orbit late, bringing it down right across China.

Naa I still say they are 4 hours off projected from Henry's post. Unlesshttp://www.aerospace.org/cords/reentry-predictions/tiangong-1-reentry/
the space weather changes, that puts it very close to tomorrow our time.
Gonna be fun to see when and where. Any other predictions based on
empirical data? Or a guess? Just for fun!

According to
(UTC-7).as of a few minutes ago the reentry window for the defunct Chinese
station has narrowed to +- 2.5 hours either side of ten after midnight
UTC tonight.
That's 2:40 pm to 7:40 pm this afternoon/evening, MST (or PDT)
window
The general trend over the past couple of days has been for the window
to slide later, FWIW.
Looking at the ground track, the current projected middle of the
overallis way out over the Pacific. Alas for free local fireworks, the
window comes nowhere near North America. Southern South America, much
of Africa, Central and East Asia, yes. As for you Aussies, absent a
major late change, no Skylab-Tiangong twofer. Oh well!
I notice that a bit less than one orbit after current projected
mid-window, it'll be going right over the middle of China, which could
make for a spectacular show for the people who paid for it.
