I just love the oig and norad.

Tell me that this the same object.

1987-022E    17652 US       91.2   24.7    496     166   0.0048
DELTA 1 DEB               Launched (1987/02/26) Decayed [1988/01/18]

SO object 17652 decayed in 1988, and was launched in 1987. but the object is 
called 61015LM in the orbital elements not 1987-022E or 98022E

DELTA 1 DEB    Decayed: 1988/01/18
1 17652U 61015LM  00270.80700301  .00003437  00000-0  11169-2 0  6277
2 17652  66.6968  58.4983 0112360 200.7166 158.9361 14.36457075822834

When I see something pass across the night sky, and get the answer, it can 
be a different object all together.

Kevin
