    Pierre Neirinck produced these elements, using observations by himself, David
    Brierley, Russell Eberst, Bjoern Gimle, Jim Nix, Jean Pierre Rohart and Peter
    Wakelin, from 19 - 23 April UTC:
    
    USA 129         15.0  3.0  0.0  5.1 v
    1 24680U 96072A   00115.15233370  .00035672  00000-0  44812-3 0  4524

    I estimate that USA 116's argument of perigee is now (20 h UTC, 25 April) about
    1 degree from the equator. Based on past behaviour, I expect both USA 116 and
    USA 129 to raise their apogee at any time over the next few days.
