The RCS values are > given as 0.23 and 1.0. Please note that these were the 'old' 16546 with RCS = 0.2273 and the 'old' 19010 was even larger, RCS = 1.0000. The new objects has RCS of 0.0034 (16546 that decayed April 26) and 0.0053. Obviously, we have the case of 'masked' re-use of NORAD number with the same (multiple) object name. One should wonder how many object numbers were reused this way.
