    Launch 2007-034 has at least potentially placed four small objects
    into space besides the ones currently in the SpaceTrack catalogue.
    
    2007-034A ia the Phoenix spacecraft (#32003), in Mars transfer orbit
    2007-034B is the Delta third stage (#32004), in heliocentric orbit
    2007-034C is the Delta second stage (#32007), in low earth orbit
    
    Also in low earth orbit should be
    
    "2007-034D" half of a separator strap between stages 2 and 3
    "2007-034E" the other half of the separator strap
    
    and in heliocentric orbit should be
    
    "2007-034F" first despin weight
    "2007-034G" second despin weight
    
    These are gleaned from the NASA Phoenix press kit. Would any other
    objects (lens covers, etc.) result from this launch?
