Hi,
JPL's Horizons Web Site will likely
have these objects in their data base 
when launched.  From there you can 
get RA/Dec or generate AZ/EL for your
QTH.  You can enter RA/Dec into NOVA
and it will track it like any other
celestial target.  Not sure if other satellite
programs have this feature.
