    Lift-off occurred at 13:00 UTC on 2013 Jul 19.
    
    Here are updated *rough* TLEs based on launch at that time.
    
    MECO 1                                                   167 X 624 km
    1 79701U          13200.55024305  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    07
    2 79701  28.0000 313.4499 0337670 130.0000   3.3000 15.58830000    05
    
    MECO 2                                                 193 X 34447 km
    1 79702U          13200.56030210  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    01
    2 79702  26.0000 315.8503 7227302 179.9293   1.5500  2.38040000    01
    
    MECO 3                                                3801 X 35786 km
    1 79703U          13200.65964932  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    09
    2 79703  19.1000 321.0706 6110508 179.0000  88.4351  2.05080000    00
    
    The MECO 3 estimate is likely the most accurate of the three, and should be reasonably close.
