Major ISS reboost June 12th
According to Roscosmos, the ISS altitude will be raised 19.2 km tomorrow. Until updated Keps are available from Space Track, there will be a slippage in predictions of _approximately_ 6 minutes per day!

Keps for post-burn, show altitude as 375Km

The PREDICTED keps are available at the following address, predicted for all current maneuvers several days in ahead.
There are several sets for intermediate stages of the reboost.
Most of the information about burns ect, go right over my head, but no doubt it will mean something to those who are a bit more 'rocket science' than I am.

I've posted this link before, but no-one has ever commented on it.
You can also get preliminary keps for shuttle launches here.

The ISS link goes to the ISS page in first link, the shuttle link goes to the shuttle predictions when one is in active service.
Above links useful, or just some link I found to useless data?
According to the latest from Roscosmos, they hit the 19.2 km exactly, resulting in an altitude of 364.6 km. It will be interesting to see what the first measured Keps after the burn look like later today or Monday.
