C* 398: It's a little hard to believe its eccentricity was once .449.
I guess this is it from OIG until Monday afternoon.

Still no clue whether the abnormal Mir MM, etc., are real.
All the latest from OIG:

EGP: The initial thought for the initial launch of the H-1 was that a
bag of sand would make a good choice for payload. Mostly in terms of
insurance coverage. EGP, aka Ajisa, is but a slight modification of that
idea. It is a 2.15 m sphere covered with 120 laser reflector assemblies
(incorporating 1436 corner cubes) and 318 planar mirrors.
Cheers.
