Abstract The article considers specific examples, which show that the solution of the problem on determining the reentry time of elliptic-orbit satellites can be unstable. An analysis is executed on the basis of orbital data about reentry of two satellites: Molnija-1-44 and Zenit-2SB second stage. The presence of photos during their reentry and application of the improved methodology for updating of orbital parameters on measurements allowed to get more reliable results.
