I agree with your ID, and offer this TLE, which I believe likely to prove a bit closer to reality in mean motion: 1205 X 1224 km 1 37364U 11006A 14013.71270803 .00000002 00000-0 50000-5 0 03 2 37364 90.0107 32.1378 0013119 273.4615 86.5013 13.11494704 06 Ted Molczan _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
