    I derived this update using observations by Paul Gabriel, Jim Nix and myself,
    between 2001 Jul 09 - 10 UTC:
    
    USA 129         15.0  3.0  0.0  5.1 v
    1 24680U 96072A   01191.13843171  .00019622  00000-0  26989-3 0    04
    2 24680  97.9316 252.8727 0504266 155.4080 207.2360 14.77366307    00
    
    All elements except the rate of decay were derived by differential correction.
    Mean residuals are about 0.01 deg.
    
    The manoeuvre occurred near the perigee passage at about 15:32 UTC on 2001 Jul
    06. The re-boost was less than most previous major re-boosts. The inclination
    increased by about 0.1 deg from the pre-manoeuvre orbit.
    
    I made the following observation tonight:
    
    24680 96 072A   2701 G 20010710015419870 17 25 1921055+263836 18 S
