    Here are still somewhat rough new elements of 05016B:
    
    1 28647U 05016B   08262.07239986  .00000112  00000-0  82192-5 0    05
    2 28647  57.0200 245.0105 0162329  37.8371 323.3940 14.93156209    06
    
    A quick review of the object's historical elements reveals that its mean
    eccentricity oscillates between about 0.0149 and 0.0167; I believe this
    perturbation is due to the effect of the odd zonal harmonics on quasi 60 deg
    inclination orbits.
