    A recent classfd.tle from Mike McCants' site includes the entry:
    
    ATEX
    1 25489U 98055A   00177.11183646  .00001200  00000-0  35605-3 0    08
    2 25489  84.9859 212.8458 0011003 132.7191 227.2808 14.43364462    08
    
    (25489 = 98-055A has been variously referred to as "ATEX/STEX USA 140")
    
    While this element set will be useful for ascertaining the general
    position of the orbit plane, I wonder how useful an almost-two-year-old
    set could be for current predictions.
    
    Clear and dark skies!
