Here are the two most recent elsets for OIG:

TSS/tether
1 23805U 96012B   96070.48125874  .00649138  00000-0  29630-2 0   553
2 23805  28.4707 165.2306 0050207 337.6989  22.1531 15.79201621  2628

1 23805U 96012B   96071.52721065  .00896935  00000-0  37384-2 0   579
2 23805  28.4725 157.5259 0048211 350.8159 210.6445 15.80734059  2780

The second elset seems to have a much higher drag than I would have
expected.  (I guess since the drag has been going down instead of
up, it's time for it to go up too rapidly.)

I have increased my drag factor by 15%.

Decay is now predicted for March 19.
