Hi all,

An additional Navigational Warning has appeared that I believe to be connected
to USSF-52 (OTV 7). It probably is the disposal area of the 2nd stage:

071019Z DEC 23
NAVAREA XII 846/23(16,17,19).
EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC.
1. HAZARDOUS OPERATIONS, SPACE DEBRIS
    110001Z TO 111615Z DEC, ALTERNATE
    0001Z TO 1615Z DAILY 12 THRU 17 DEC
    IN AREA BOUND BY
    51-04N 152-41W, 53-27N 141-07W,
    41-40N 136-32W, 38-43N 146-53W
2. CANCEL THIS MSG 171715Z DEC 23.//

Location and shape does indeed suggest that a plane shift to higher inclination
is done after launch. The overall direction seems compatible with a polar orbit
but I haven't been able to look at that in detail.

- Marco
