A more conservative analysis of USA 129, in which rate of decay, eccentricity and argument of perigee remained fixed, yielded this result, which I suspect will prove closer to the truth: USA 129 15.0 3.0 0.0 5.3 v 278 X 1014 km 1 24680U 96072A 05307.77839189 .00011300 00000-0 15000-3 0 08 2 24680 97.9103 9.2947 0524422 68.9164 296.7280 14.73780656 06 Arc 2005 Oct 28.86 - Nov 03.84, WRMS residuals = 0.015 deg This solution indicates a normal reboost, apparently near perigee on 2005 Oct 13, at 11:33 UTC.
