    Brad Young alerted us that the spacecraft was a no-show early on 2012 May 16 UTC, and then found it on May 17 UTC,
    running nearly 10 min early relative the last known orbit, based on observations 11 days earlier.
    
    I offer the following rough search TLEs:
    
                                                             305 X 332 km
    1 70001U          12138.08899945  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    08
    2 70001  42.7800 127.6291 0020000 236.6233 123.5701 15.85000000    04
    
                                                             307 X 341 km
    1 70002U          12138.08892763  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    00
    2 70002  42.7980 127.6781 0025000 186.2012 173.8551 15.83000000    07
    
    It may very well run several minutes earlier or later, more likely earlier.
    
    Happy hunting!
