I was about to post an elset similar to Russell's, but did a final check.
Indeed this orbit passes Vandenberg 15 minutes after Aura:
20040711 09:43:27 -116.6648  34.6135

But the launch at 10:01:57 (or later) would require the initial Aura orbit 
to pass at about 10:05 due to the vertical and slower ascent.

Aura             8.0  4.0  2.5  4.0 d   18       703 x 702
1 88889U 04693A   84189.39900000  .00000094  00000-0  30835-4 0    03
2 88889  98.2218 129.0365 0001165  83.9975 222.1352 14.57108827    14

(Also, the Aqua track is overhead at 09:58, so a slight dogleg may
be needed, unless Aura will be one or two degrees further East)
