    Here are updated elements using Alberto Rango's, Brad Young's and my
    post-manoeuvre points:
    
    USA 186         15.0  4.0  0.0  5.3 v
    1 28888U 05042A   08148.07324654  .00007066  00000-0  67958-4 0    08
    2 28888  97.9219 210.3908 0542608 336.7168  21.0274 14.75761989    08
    Arc 2008 May 23.83 - 27.08, WRMS residuals = 0.015 deg
    
    Actual eccentricity =  0.0538511
    
    The longer arc now indicates that the manoeuvre was near perigee, resulting in a
    boost of the apogee - contrary to my findings yesterday. That places the
    manoeuvre on 2008 May 22, near 17:30 UTC.
