All -

Looking at the TLE in Space Track, this object has an epoch of 1970. SeeSat has it as  18 298 so it is still in orbit.

Do some of these old objects have old TLEs (this one was apparently an orbit before it boosted to geosynch) that are relics of earlier versions of the Satellite Catalog? 

Likely this one is NOT included in the now-released orbits - oops. I was hoping that some of those long retired objects might be included. Sigh.
