    Here are approximate search elements for the main pieces:
    
    IGS 5

    1 70611U          09332.10017880  .00005000  00000-0  22876-3 0    03

    The plane is several degrees west of the last reported orbit of the first
    optical IGS satellite:
    
    IGS-O1
    1 27698U 03009A   09262.84818129  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    07

    I have not thoroughly evaluated visibility windows, but it appears that
    observers south of roughly 30 S may have some visibility.
