    As of the epoch of 05004C, above, it trailed 05004A by 8.11 s at the ascending
    node, very nearly their operational separation of 8 s; therefore, at any time,
    one of them may manoeuvre to match the mean motion of the other, fixing the
    separation.
    
    The Centaur continues its propulsive acceleration, which has reduced its mean
    altitude by at least 0.8 km since launch, and has reduced it flash period to
    less than 5 s.
