Last week this Cosmos rocket (SL-8) showed a very sudden jump
in Mean Motion that is still going on now.
Between day 332 and 334 (30-11-1995) the Semi Major Axis
increased with about 300 meters!
Last observations of Jean-Pierre Rohart and Leo Barhorst
some months ago showed a long period.
This rocket has an inclination of 82.9 degrees. A lot of objects in
similar orbits had accelerations and jumps in mean motion
in the past years, for instance 84-109 B, 86- 37 B and 79- 30 B.
So there is a great chance that this one is accelerating now.
