The latest OIG elements each have a post-collision epoch

Progress(?) or debris(?)

I _assume_ 24845 is Progress (or is it debris?)

I have not been following Mir and Progress element sets lately, so I can't
say offhand if these elements truly represent their post-collision orbits.
These elements have Progress(?) leading Mir by about 7 minutes.

Looks like good viewing opportunities for Australia and S. hemisphere.
