      The identification of the fragments was made by running SkyMap with
      Mir elset from OIG:

      Mir Complex     32.7  4.2  0.0  3.4
      1 16609U 86017A   95294.87427850  .00000256  00000-0  10000-4 0  2816
      2 16609  51.6447 243.2608 0002919 211.9117 148.1714 15.57815861552701

      , and fragments JL-JS epoch 95295.29 - 95295.26

      I have a 4k SkyMap  .cfg file, which will plot the tracks of Mir
      and all the seven new pieces, between alpha and beta Aql
      (if you have SkyMap), and can mail or archive a .pcx file if anyone
      is interested. Pierre will receive this, and a picture, by FAX.
