    "Based on a quick look for s/c in near circular orbits with their apogee 
    and perigee between 500km and 450km respectively this appears to be SAR 
    LUPE 1 running 6.5 minutes late based on the classified elset with epoch 
    12206.08967909."
    
    This is just to offer that I had an on-time observation 
    of SAR-Lupe 1 Monday evening (31 July local/1 Aug UTC).  
    However, SAR-Lupe 4 (32750, 08-14A) has not been seen
    from here in a while, and that same evening its nominal
    prediction was 14 minutes earlier than SAR-Lupe 1, with
    208 seconds uncertainty per Quicksat.  Its elements were
    70 days old that evening.
