This was USA 186's orbit as of my observations last night: USA 186 15.0 4.0 0.0 5.3 v 1 28888U 05042A 07165.09504248 .00009783 00000-0 94404-4 0 01 2 28888 97.8909 227.0437 0525942 32.0191 331.1859 14.79294528 07 Arc 2007 Jun 10.11 - 14.10, WRMS residuals = 0.052 deg In the event of a reboost today, then the following search elements correspond to the probable earliest and latest perigee passages at which the manoeuvre would be made: Earliest reboost 1 71001U 07165.50631944 .00009687 00000-0 94404-4 0 08 2 71001 97.8909 227.4496 0535800 30.6793 1.4250 14.77000000 07 Latest reboost 1 71002U 05042A 07165.77671296 .00009687 00000-0 94404-4 0 03 2 71002 97.8909 227.7164 0535800 29.7984 1.4000 14.77000000 07 I plan to observe the object in the orbit it was in last night, but will also plot the 71001 and 71002 tracks, so that if it does not show up, I will be prepared to quickly aim to its expected post-manoeuvre track.
