Remember how long it took for USSPACECOM to sort out what had happened with the Gorizont launch last month - the first Briz-M mission to reach orbit. We should eventually see a couple of ullage motors tracked in an orbit close to the one shown for 26394, but these days it can take a while for USSPACECOM to find them: they have still to track those from last month's Ekspress-A 3 launch. Just think that the safety of the Free World relies upon the computer and its operators under The Mountain. Then duck !
