    A request for the 5 most recent elsets for object 27516 returns:
    
    DRTS
    1 27516U 02042B   02253.72359346  .00189396  00000-0  46579-2 0    24
    2 27516  30.4107 148.2800 0010027 270.8102  89.2026 15.38815673    50
    DRTS
    1 27516U 02042B   02253.59227234 -.00000151  00000-0  00000+0 0    38
    2 27516  28.4010 150.6673 7221588 179.1989 182.7254  2.24602099    39
    DRTS
    1 27516U 02042B   02253.46413507  .00000158  00000-0  00000+0 0    18
    2 27516  30.4039 150.0423 0009751 269.6220  90.3297 15.38703033    21
    
    The elset with epoch 02253.72 is the most recent, but it is also elset
    "number 2".
    
    Elset "number 3" is a GTO elset.
    
    So I assume that the bright objects the Ed and I saw last night near
    the USERS object are all some kind of "fairing" or "cover" and that
    the DRTS and H-2A rocket objects really did go to GTO.
