I take this to be the Blok DM-2 used in the placing of Cosmos 2345 in
geosync orbit. The designations #24897 and 97- 41 D were reserved for it
but elements took a while to appear via OIG, perhaps because it was
still attached to the "A" payload. Here are all the elsets I have for
it:
Cosmos 2345 Blok DM-2 37421 x 34302 km

Note that elements for all newly launched/catalogued objects, plus other
interesting objects like Mir, STS and decayers, are available via
my WWW page (see .sig below). Subject to the connection between
Edinburgh and OIG, my files select.tle and dklist.tle, are being auto-
updated every three hours around the clock.
