In case anyone was trying to find keps for USA-193, here is what Heavens 
Above has at:

I couldn't find anything for object 29651 at either Celestrak or 
Space-Track.org

Not sure how well these will work, since they are from Monday and would be 
expected to change considerably as the altitude decays.
