Distance of Astroscale ADRAS-J from the H2A stage, based on TLEs. Note the error on the TLEs is at least 1 km so most of the details here are likely spurious, but we can conclude they stay within 1 km for past 8 days

The Chang'e-5 orbiter was testing out lunar DRO (distant retrograde orbit) when I last heard of it in Mar 2023. Anyone know its current (or at least more recent) status? Andrew Jones ? Scott Tilley 🇺🇦 ?

A planned ISS orbit correction was performed tonight at 02:35 UTC to maintain the station’s orbit altitude, using the #ProgressMS26 engines. The orbit altitude was increased for 1 km.
