Well, it shouldn't be hard to spot the satellite whether the elements are
released or not.  The launch window from Vandenberg is currently 18:35

has said, "The imaging satellite will be launched into a sun synchronous
[97.3 deg. inclination], 470 km circular orbit with a 10:30 am descending
equatorial cross time..."
