Nearly two weeks after lift-off, Space-Track started issuing element sets for 52940. Before that, the only published orbit information I found was from ULA in the form of pre-launch estimates of perigee, apogee and inclination.

The Space-Track set is more similar to ULA's estimate for USA 333 (52941/2022-073B) than it is to the one for USA 332. Also, 52940 has most likely commenced moves to take it down to GEO.

It raises the possibility that the element sets have been allocated to the wrong object in the Catalogue.

The ULA and Space-Track data are summarised here: https:www.orbitalfocus.uk/2022#073
