These elements don't make sense. This object is in a low circular orbit, while Juno is on an earth escape trajectory. The eccentricity shown in the real-time telemetry screen at Centaur shutdown was about 1.5.
What happened to the Atlas first stage? Did it go into orbit?
Perhaps it's in a parking orbit waiting for another burn.
