    Launch is scheduled for 2006 Dec 14 at 21:00 UTC; below are approximate elements
    based on that time:
    
    NROL 21          0.0  0.0  0.0  6.0 v                    352 X 380 km
    1 73500U          06348.91341088  .00011072  00000-0  10000-3 0    08
    2 73500  58.5000 121.6511 0020321  69.0000 273.7500 15.67330000    04
    
    RAAN could be off by a few degrees; more likely high than low.
    
    Standard magnitude is a guess.
    
    Observers north of about 45 N would have morning visibility.
