Peter Wakelin discovered this Molniya-orbit object on 2009 Jan 26, while observing another object, and he has since observed it on four nights, resulting in 43 positions. The following elements take advantage of his latest observations, and his correction of small systematic reduction errors in a few of his earlier ones: 1129 X 39239 km 1 91200U 09526A 09038.62006762 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 06 2 91200 64.0011 336.7379 7175745 278.7112 12.8898 2.00612723 07 Arc 2009 Jan 26.77 - Feb 07.81, WRMS residuals = 0.008 deg Since its mean-motion is near the operational value, this most likely is a payload.
