According to the ROSAT Twitter feed the perigee altitude is down to 87 miles with re-entry usually around 76.

“...orbit 87.31 minutes 139.6 x 141.9 km”

Maybe the next pass?

I had been watching off and on yesterday and kinda thought it would be today by the stats that the stupid google track was giving. I researched a little and knew it was the 75 mile mark when it would start breaking up and never saw the stats go below 100 miles. Then fell asleep on the couch and missed the whole thing....lol!
