Hi Graham,
I agree with you.
Object A and B is far away. We can see two clusters and ALMASat. One cubesat is missing - but I believe they are still too close to identify. Or two cubesats stuck together ;-)
But it's too early for such kind of speculation. Let's wait a week or two ...

Hi Andy,
Thanks for these..I am intrigued..there should be 10 objects in total - LARES is in a circular 1450km orbit and does not appear to be listed yet. Object A I suspect is the final stage/launch adaptor.
cheers

No names yet, but looking it at I would say 2012-006A is LARES and B is ALMASAT.
C-J are the cubesats IMHO. Take your pick.
