    I observed the NOSS 3-3 pair running 513 s early, relative 18.5 day old
    elements, which reveals that they had manoeuvred lower in the interim. 
    
    They had been expected to make a final manoeuvre to match the mean motion of the
    other operational formations, currently near 13.40466 rev/d, so I used this
    value as my guess for the following estimated elements:
    
    NOSS 3-3 (A)     0.0  0.0  0.0  4.0 v
    1 70001U          05135.37001768  .00000020  00000-0  35224-4 0    09

    NOSS 3-3 (C)     0.0  0.0  0.0  4.0 v
    1 70002U          05135.37010257  .00000020  00000-0  35224-4 0    03
