    ORS-1 was launched from Wallops Island on a Minotaur 1 rocket, on 2011 June 30, at 03:09 UTC.
    
    It has been catalogued as 11029A / 37728, but official TLEs have yet to appear.
    
    The announced planned orbit is 40 deg, 400 km. Since its mission is imagery intelligence, and it has a propulsion
    module, it is reasonable to expect a repeating ground track. Here are some possible orbits, based on different
    resonances (revs:days).
