As I was doing satellite predictions for tonight (Saturday 25 July) I
noticed that Cosmos 2354 and Cosmos 2357 will be following the same
track, separated by about 5 seconds.   They'll be dim enough to require
binoculars, I think.  Here are the elements from the OIG website:

COSMOS 2354
1 25365U 98036C   98205.13265843 +.00000024 +00000-0 +10000-3 0 00231
