        dear Peter ,
         Again in the satellites business.
         firstorb output  for geo05592  ,made with 2 obs from greg Roberts
         05092.841000    00000
         03.40  041.6  0.00000   0.0000   120.1  01.019200
         long 28 deg EAST 
        Note that N may be very different   , also for e , but
        I think i is within 0.3 deg   from  its real value
         My site 2572 was closed april 2002 , a new is under preparation( 
        for 2006 ? )
         actual site not very suitable for CCD obs , location is 4.5 KM 
        South-east from
        wittenheim.
        Found an interesting BOOK ( METHODS of ORBITS determination  , basic 
        prog.
        laplace , improve and a lot of other , deals with COMETS ,ASTEROIDS 
        , but
        can be adapted for distant satellites when you use short arcs and 
        precises obs.
        SEE willmann  bell , 1991 isbn 0-943396-34-4 , richmond usa , author
