Iridium 84 ?     4.0  1.8  0.0  6.0 d  7.3       781 x 775 km
1 25530U 98066D   01018.68041508  .00000210  00000-0  67826-4 0  1499
2 25530  86.3979 334.7356 0003815  77.2964 282.8726 14.34218883117930

That places it (as predicted) neatly between Iridium 53 and Iridium 10 in plane
5.
All we need now is a flare from it, and then Mike and Alan can delete the "?"
(which Alan has now done!)

I am now maintaining my own interpretation of the Iridium Constellation status
at http://rodsladen.cjb.net/iridium.htm, and have incorporated this change.
