As you would normally expect the prime payload to be the A object
and some things are already in a high orbit, which is Interbol-2?

The 4 rev per day mean motions seem to large to be interbol.

Since I would like to observe it to help with the propagation issue,
I do not want to waste time on debris if I can avoid it.
