    Tim Luton, Jim Nix, and Brad Young, contributed observations used to
    determine the following element set:
    
    STSS Demo r                                              127 X 147 km
    1 35939U 09052C   10050.04000000  .56267834  00000-0  50000-3 0    07
    2 35939  59.5964 268.2938 0015000 359.9773 139.0525 16.50649864    00
    Arc 20100218.98-0219.04 WRMS resid 1.274 totl 0.142 xtrk
    
    I believe this to be a reasonable approximation of the orbit, during the
    span of tonight's observations, a few hours before decay. I may revisit the
    analysis when I have more time, and if I can improve upon it, I will post
    the results.
    
    I enjoyed the team work on this object. It kept us on our toes since Russell
    Eberst discovered it, 12 weeks ago. In all, we made 219 observations, and
    updated the elements more than 50 times.
