    Correction to feb 28, an International designator is incorrect 96073B
    should be 96037B:

    Notes: 
    21147, the time shows 10 secs late when compared to prediction, so there is
     likely an error on my part (013424 vs 013434), I trust someone will correct 
     me soon.  In the past a maneuver of this satellite usually makes it early,
     is this always so?  Can a manuever make it late, and if so, by how many 
     seconds on average.  
    23887, (decay date March 18) running 7 secs early on:
