The semi major axis of this rocket has increased since 11 Apr 1996.
Maybe the observation of Willy Verhaegen is also half a period.
It might be accelerating now.  Observations are needed urgently!

Some observations of recently launched objects:
96-  4 B 96-04-01 19:36      KJ  140.7 0.3  34  4.14
96-  9 G 96-04-26 03:47      JEV                      S, 5
