    Apparently, the new mean motion is significantly outside the range of the
    previous 5 manoeuvres which boosted to 14.803 - 14.811 rev/d.
    
    Looks like a much wider, or even a full, planar search may be required. I will
    try to come up with some search orbits, but perhaps not before very late
    tonight.
