    Based on current KH elsets, 129 will be well placed for a manoeuvre
    Aug.12-14.
    
    (Descending node) separation from 161 will reach -2h 45m the night 13-14th,
    and the perigee will be on the equator on the 12th, and Mean Motion will be
    14.84 around the 18th.
    
    I would expect a small reboost, but probably more than 0.03 in MM.
    
    If 116 still has enough fuel, it may also be raised.
    
    The large reboost of 129+161 can be postponed until later this year,
    especially if a replacement launch is due.
