Greg Roberts has recovered OTV 2-1 in difficult observing conditions, four days after he discovered it, not far off my 70411 element set. I offer the following orbit solution. X-37B OTV 2-1 317 X 344 km 1 37375U 11010A 11072.70459304 .00040236 00000-0 20000-3 0 04 2 37375 42.8627 243.7360 0019850 351.4227 8.6300 15.80657016 04 Arc 20110309.15-0313.74 WRMS resid 0.121 totl 0.027 xtrk I tried forcing inclination to 43.0 deg, but that increased the eccentricity to about 0.0033; that could be correct, but let's see what further observations reveal.
