Some people have been asking about ISS elements recently. Here ya go. 
Progress cargo module M-50 (NORAD 28399, COSPAR 2004-032A) was launched on Aug 11 as flight ISS-15P to the International Space Station. Tomorrow, Nov 17, the engine of the Progress module will be used for a reboost burn for the ISS complex.
Pre-burn orbital elements:
Post-burn orbital elements:
This burn will raise the orbit of the space station by about 1.6 miles. It's also being used to test the ability of Russian ground controllers to 'weigh' the station using fuel consumption figures.
Sorry I haven't converted these to Celestia's format, but I don't have access to office at the moment. I'm sure someone else will be happy to reply with the converted data, tho.
