Russia has launched Cosmos 2361 which appears to be another EORSAT Naval
recon satellite. Its SL-11 (=Tsyklon-2) rocket is also in orbit. Expect
the Cosmos to be manoeuvred and the rocket to decay quickly. The
following elsets are the only ones published so far - the line zero
dimension/mag data are my uncertain guesses.

They enter eclipse near northern apex at about 16:30 local time and
emerge from eclipse while southbound near 56 degrees south latitude at
