The following orbit is for an eccentricity similar to what it was before the
winter blackout:

USA 161                                                  385 x 393 km

2 26934  96.8840 284.1230 0005500 330.4244  29.6708 15.59624705    07

rms     0.05535   arc 14144.392 - 14152.060

My passes for tonight are not very favourable, but I might give it a try.
