    Here are updated elements using Alberto Rango's and my post-manoeuvre points:
    
    USA 186         15.0  4.0  0.0  5.3 v
    1 28888U 05042A   08146.10706025  .00007957  00000-0  75819-4 0    00
    2 28888  97.9379 208.4713 0543482 343.0311  15.3324 14.75735334    06
    
    The manoeuvre occurred on 2008 May 22, at about 17:30 UTC. The above result
    indicates that the perigee remained constant and the apogee was raised, but I
    cannot yet rule out the reverse. The manoeuvre was quite a bit smaller than
    normal, so perhaps there will be another one in the near future.
