Hi all,

With the new postponement of the ZUMA launch to January 8th (January 7th local
time), here are new elset estimates for an assumed 395 x 400 km orbit for
various launch times:

ZUMA launch 2018-01-08 01:00:00 UT
1 70014U 18999A   18008.04166667  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    04
2 70014 049.9992 016.5689 0007377 049.0381 324.6717 15.55741113    03

ZUMA launch 2018-01-08 02:00:00 UT
1 70015U 18999A   18008.08333333  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    05
2 70015 049.9992 031.6099 0007377 049.0381 324.6717 15.55741113    07

ZUMA launch 2018-01-08 03:00:00 UT
1 70016U 18999A   18008.12500000  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    08
2 70016 049.9992 046.6510 0007377 049.0381 324.6717 15.55741113    02

ZUMA launch 2018-01-08 03:30:00 UT
1 70017U 18999A   18008.14583333  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    01
2 70017 049.9992 054.1715 0007377 049.0381 324.6717 15.55741113    04

With this new postponement, targetting the orbital plane of USA 276 has become
viable near the end of the 1:00 - 3:30 UT launch window. The orbital plane of
USA 276 passes over the launch site near 3:38 UT on January 8th.
