I had seen the elsets except for the second #25740 elset and wondered
about the Blok DM (?) object.  Supposedly it was to separate from the 
payload ...likely at apogee of the transfer orbit.  The second #25740
elset shown here shows a definite apogee burn to reduce the inclination
and partially circularize the orbit.

Was this burn done by the Blok DM?  If not, where is the elset for that 
object?
