(I got the following vectors from Track16, and multiplying/dividing: 4369.7 -5568.9 739.0 2.26180 2.66965 6.76488 (7.616) 4367.3 -5565.7 738.6 2.26053 2.66815 6.76108 (7.612) -4677.6 5970.5 -754.4 -2.12900 -2.46904 -6.31997 (7.111) -4675.2 5967.3 -754.0 -2.12788 -2.46774 -6.31665 (7.1076) Vec2TLE gives the following elsets, which might be used for full-orbit searches, but they must probably be integrated to account for continuing increase (or oscillation?) of eccentricity.
