    Both spacecraft appear to have slightly raised their orbit, probably sometime
    between 2004 Jan 22-24. I expect one or more additional small boosts, until they
    reach a mean motion near the 13.4044 rev/d of most other operational NOSS.
    
    Due to the shortness of the arc, I allowed only the RAAN, mean anomaly and mean
    motion to be varied in the differential correction that produced the following
    elements.
