    Derek Breit, Brad Young, and I, contributed observations used to determine
    the following element set:
    
    STSS Demo r                                              160 X 377 km
    1 35939U 09052C   10047.11533414  .03572548  00000-0  10650-2 0    00
    2 35939  59.6365 281.2799 0163164   8.1736 352.1973 16.01714158    03
    Arc 20100215.01-0216.14 WRMS resid 0.084 totl 0.062 xtrk
    
    Here is Mike McCants' solution:
                                                             162 X 376 km
    1 35939U 09052C   10047.11526684  .03599894  00000-0  11201-2 0    07
    2 35939  59.5984 281.2982 0161242   8.1403 351.8597 16.01743430    02
    
    Using Satevo 0.51, I estimate decay no later than early 2010 Feb 19 UTC.
    
    It would be prudent to allow for at least 60 s early arrival, 24 h after the
    epoch.
    
    Overcast here now, and unlikely to be clear tonight.
