I inadvertently put the wrong epoch into the search elements for 96072A.
This was not as disastrous as it could have been, because I computed the
correct RAAN (right-ascension of the ascending node) for that date;
however, the argument of perigee would have been about 17 deg too low,
which would have introduced an error into the predicted path.

Here is the correct search element set:

USA 129 search  15.0  3.0  0.0  5.1 v
1 24680U 96072  A 96355.75277778  .00008000  00000-0  84622-4 0    09
2 24680  97.9100  55.8000 0543000 170.6000   0.0000 14.74000000    08

Remember, this is only for searching; it is not predictive.

This time for sure!
Ted
