Paul Camilleri communicated new Mentor 7 observations from June 15 and 16, 
extending the arc to 2.1 days.

I fitted this updated orbit to them:

Mentor 7
1 41584U 16036A   16167.96105997 0.00000000  00000-0  00000+0 0    07
2 41584   7.5055 353.7008 0046333  41.2140 319.1375  1.00195548    05

rms 0.004 deg      from 9 obs June 14.70 - June 16.79  (2.09 day arc)

This orbit corresponds to a drift rate of ~0.28 deg/day, westwards. If it keeps 
drifting in this tempo, it will reach longitude 80 E at the end of the first 
week of September.
