Regarding the payload from the 98- 54 launch, Phillip Clark <psclark@dircon.co.uk> writes >GSFC logs this as Molniya-1 91. The argument of perigee (~280 deg) >points to a Molniya launch rather than an Oko early warning satellite >(AoP ~320 deg) in the Cosmos series. Yes, and I had it identified initially as "Molniya ?" in my select.tle file. Then the draft Jonathan's Space Report logged it as Cosmos 2361 and the following announcement appeared from WDC-A. Throughout this time, GSFC were calling this "UNK". <begin quote> COSPAR/ISES WORLD WARNING AGENCY FOR SATELLITES WORLD DATA CENTER-A FOR R & S, NASA/GSFC CODE 633, GREENBELT, MARYLAND, 20771.
