Assuming it's launched to the south, my guess is:

1 95362U          95362.28400000 0.00000000  00000-0  00000+0 0    06
2 95362  98.7100  72.9700 0022300 156.1000 337.7000 14.22500000    01

No, the launch is occurring in the daytime and the opposite northern
latitude crossing will be inside the Earth's shadow.
