The launch of Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS 9) from Cape Canaveral on a Delta 4 Medium+(5,4) is scheduled for a 75 minute window that opens on 2017 Mar 18 at 23:44 UTC. https://spaceflightnow.com/2017/03/17/d377_journal/ I offer the following rough TLE of the orbit after the second burn of the 2nd stage, assuming launch at window-open: SECO-2 434 X 44372 km 1 78920U 17078.01151620 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 08 2 78920 27.0000 1.5000 7633000 177.8404 2.5000 1.77840000 07 The 2nd stage is scheduled to perform a 10.2 s de-orbit burn at T+1:11:44.6, or Mar 19 00:5545 UTC, assuming launch at window-open. Ocean impact would occur about 11 h later near 14 N, 156 E.
