NROL-24 lifted off on 2007 Dec 10 at 22:05 UTC (one minute later than planned): Here are corresponding search elements: MES2 1 79000U 07344.96776620 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 00 2 79000 57.3981 310.4100 0001000 113.4954 176.8000 16.05000000 02 1st ascending node 1 79001U 07344.97919896 .00017925 00000-0 14828-2 0 05 2 79001 57.3981 310.4027 5327478 293.4985 20.3013 5.13214280 00 Observers should keep in mind that these elements are based on NROL-1, which employed a different launch vehicle, so there is bound to be some inaccuracy relative NROL-24. My guess is that the most likely error would be late arrival by 10 or more minutes, relative these elements. Of course, this will also affect predicted track.
