    Maybe no-one told USSPACECOM about the Ekran-M launch ?   Maybe they were
    looking for objects left in LEO, found none and thus the bureaucrat who
    does the paperwork assumed that the Proton-KM launch had failed ?
    
    A few years ago they got the international designators fouled up and it
    took a few days to get everything sorted out.
