Russell Eberst alerted me to the fact the #16182/#19650 (85-97B/88-102B)
is another pair of Zenith rockets, that are very close in their orbit
planes, and MM, and occasionally can be very near to each other.
When I checked, I noticed the MM diff was smaller than for the 17590/22285
pair, which means there is a long time (9 months??) between occasions.
(They are currently increasing their distance, since a June rendezvous?)
One reason for the uncertainty turns out to be, that #16182 MM has
decreased the last three weeks or so, to what it was in April-95!
So, from previous experience, this should be high
priority for flash observers.
