Note: Very surprisingly, no fresh elsets have been issued for more than
a day - the latest elset reports an invalid negative drag.

Note: The perigee given by the final elset is probably too high. I am
sure that this must have decayed in the vicinity of perigee on this
orbit, at southern apex and near the International Date Line far to the
S of New Zealand.
