    Lacrosse 4's small downward manoeuvre seems similar to others we have seen in
    this program. Here are my latest post-manoeuvre elements:
    
    Lacrosse 4      18.0  4.5  0.0  3.6 v
    1 26473U 00047A   04276.17490217  .00000100  00000-0  18903-4 0    02
    2 26473  67.9871  63.0184 0007445 297.8511  62.1860 14.64132032    06
    Arc 2004 Oct 01.16 - 02.18, WRMS residuals = 0.010 deg
    
    The manoeuvre appears to occurred on Sep 24 near 06 h UTC. 
    
    This was its orbit on Sep 22 UTC, prior to the manoeuvre:
    
    1 26473U 00047A   04266.74758321  .00000099  00000-0  18903-4 0    04
    2 26473  67.9919  87.7066 0003900 242.7531 117.3198 14.64073457    06
    
    Meanwhile, 03790B continues toward decay, sometime in December or January.
    
    03790B           0.0  0.0  0.0  3.5 v
    1 90019U 03790B   04276.13109067  .00522874  00000-0  78927-3 0    01
