Just for the record, the final OIG elset for this is:
Progress M-34 Soyuz-U r                          142 x 133 km
1 24758U 97014B   97098.61913833  .28945010  12713-4  28302-3 0   226
2 24758  51.6161  75.0723 0006695  81.3271 278.8541 16.50677566   329
showing it running 19 seconds late against my prediction. I suspect
decay occurred at about April 8.71 (17.00 UTC).
