Удивительно круглая орбита объекта B при эллиптичности у A!
Полагаю вероятным, что B может оказаться ранее запущенным, корректировавшим орбиту спутником.

Часто источником ошибки служит неправильное определение эксцентриситета. В данном случае поправили эксцентриситет - убавили 6 км у перигея и добавили 6 км к апогею. Средняя высота осталась прежней.
