    David Brierley, Russell Eberst, Alberto Rango, Greg Roberts, Peter Wakelin, Mike
    Waterman and Brad Young made observations used in one or more of the following
    orbit determinations:
    
    USA 186         15.0  4.0  0.0  5.3 v                   259 X 1010 km
    1 28888U 05042A   09056.87208842  .00006419  00000-0  61711-4 0    07

    Arc 2009 Feb 09.83 - 25.88, WRMS residuals = 0.012 deg
    
    DSP F23                                              35752 X 35787 km
    1 32287U 07054A   09056.23380138  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    09
    2 32287   2.7782 265.9406 0004179 338.2472  21.4013  1.00335641    06
    Arc 2009 Jan 09.23 - Feb 25.84, WRMS residuals = 0.003 deg
    
    At the epoch, DSP 23 was located at 26.29E, and drifting east 0.222 deg/d, and
    slowly accelerating.
    
    USA 198 r        0.0  0.0  0.0  5.2 v                  352 X 16073 km

    Arc 2009 Jan 27.24 - Feb 25.87, WRMS residuals = 0.023 deg
    
    USA 202          0.0  0.0  0.0 -0.2 v                35713 X 35940 km
    1 33490U 09001A   09056.28979948  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    08
    2 33490   2.9111 337.6076 0026867 178.8011 181.2063  1.00133092    02
    Arc 2009 Feb 12.83 - 25.91, WRMS residuals = 0.010 deg
    
    At the epoch, USA 202 was located at 77.92E, and drifting west 0.505 deg/d.
    
    06829A           0.0  0.0  0.0  3.5 v                  255 X 12210 km
    1 90070U 06829A   09056.09465741  .00004317  00000-0  25462-3 0    07
    2 90070  27.4718  60.5787 4740004 341.7599   5.7739  6.13284538    08
    Arc 2009 Jan 14.83 - Feb 25.10, WRMS residuals = 0.031 deg
    
    The 06829A elements probably are not as accurate as implied by the residuals.
