n2yo.com now shows Dragon ahead of the ISS and 100 km below it.
This would seem to move Dragon away from the ISS at about 200 km/hr.
Does this mean Dragon missed an orbit raising burn or that Dragon will go to a higher altitude to let the ISS catch up?

For anyone looking for ORBCOMM OG2 .. its here

167 km x 283 km is not a long lasting orbit at all. That's quite a bit lower than yesterday's estimate that was more like 200 x 320.

That site was using old data at the time; they're "missing" some number of orbit adjust/rendezvous burns since insertion.
