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.
