    SpaceCom appears to have catalogued Starshine 2 as #26996 = 01- 54 B 
    though, for now, it is identified only as "UNK" in the elsets available 
    via OIG.
    
    Two elsets have been posted so far, though neither looks satisfactory. 
    Indeed, the high drag term in the second one would lead to its decay 
    within only a few hours.
