    1 32706U 08010A   08089.69973142  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    06
    2 32706  63.8564  41.8057 7176901 271.0877  15.1793  2.01137523    00
    Arc 2008 Mar 28.90 - 30.17, WRMS residuals = 0.010 deg
    
    The longer observational arc has yielded a more precise mean motion than the one
    I posted yesterday for epoch 08088.70453945. Since the mean motion is greater
    than the operational value of about 2.006 rev/d, at least one more manoeuvre can
    be expected.
    
    If additional observations from last night are reported, I will update the
    elements.
