Did anybody catch the errors in the NASA Web Page's, (shuttle.nasa.gov),
shuttle.txt file. It contained two sets of elements, both apparently for
STS-74, but the second one, (Cat No. 16609 and an epoch rev. of 55705,) was
obviously Mir, mislabeled. It even made it onto the shuttle elements mailing
list. That explains their being two set of elements in the file, one for
STS-74 one for Mir.
For the typing inept and anyone else who'd rather load the elements directly
from text, without editing, here are the corrected TLE's:
