    98 08 A orbit was raised in may 2005 and again during 2006
    99 49 B orbit was raised Jan/Feb 2008 and again in Aug 2008.
    
    Their operational orbit is 1414 x 1414 km with a period of 114.07 min.
    
    Here are the 2 entries of these sats in my RAE satellite lists.
    The orbital data is: date of orbital determination, inclination, period in 
    min, semi major axis in km, perigee and apogee in km, eccentricity, argument 
    of perigee

    There are Globalstar sats in even higher RIP orbits as high as 2100 km such 
    as 1999 37 A
    
    More info in the RAE satlists on my website www.satlist.nl
    I'm now updating the RAEfiles 1999-2005 with orbital data.
    They will appear  year by year on the website when updated.

    Notes:
    1) 99049B and 98008A are Globalstars in RIP orbit.
       RIP = "Rest in Peace".
       RIP-orbit is better known as graveyard orbit.
       In fact these objects might be moving up to an even higher orbit
       than on my observation day. I have to verify.
       Or some other observer might know.
