10015A / 36514 was a no-show for Brad Young, on 2010 Oct 07, near 11:50 UTC, on what he described as, "a fair pass": http://satobs.org/seesat/Oct-2010/0064.html Culmination was 23 deg; predicted magnitude was 4; phase angle was reasonable. It was a no-show for me this morning, Oct 09, at 10:29:11 UTC, on a pass similar to Brad's. These are my latest elements of the last known orbit.

Unfortunately, I have run out of analysis time for now, and an unlikely to be available until after 23 h UTC.
