Specifically, it's A10GDux = A10GRKA = C2ZQ5P1, about 0.6 degrees
off prediction. It really should never have gotten on NEOCP. However,
for each object, there's a "search distance" (my guess of how far off
prediction it might get). That value was set to 0.2 degrees for this
object, which is _way_ too low for an ETBO; they often get blown a few
degrees off prediction.
I've fixed this, and updated TLEs to include the new data. Anybody
using sat_id should see the fix the next time they 'git pull' the TLEs.
(Along with several newly-linked bits of junk... I'd recommend just
running 'git pull' at least daily. I add a new object maybe once a
week, either from NEOCP or from the MPC's artsat file.)
