Mike McCants sent me an e-mail that 86017MB is debris and not Progress (I
should have been able to figure that out from the COSPAR id -- next time
will engage brain before hitting Send).

Mike's sent this Progress elset

Progress:
1 24757U 97014A   97177.01925311  .00086108  00000-0  10628-2 0  1049
2 24757  51.6539  41.5040 0005024 176.7317 183.3612 15.59413480 12549

This puts Progress about 15 seconds behind Mir
