    Greg Roberts has recovered OTV 2-1 in difficult observing conditions, four days after he discovered it, not far off my
    70411 element set.
    
    I offer the following orbit solution.
    
    X-37B OTV 2-1                                            317 X 344 km

    2 37375  42.8627 243.7360 0019850 351.4227   8.6300 15.80657016    04
    Arc 20110309.15-0313.74 WRMS resid 0.121 totl 0.027 xtrk
    
    I tried forcing inclination to 43.0 deg, but that increased the eccentricity to about 0.0033; that could be correct, but
    let's see what further observations reveal.
