Proton's three stages, including payload fairing jettison, have performed flawlessly.

We'll let you know when we receive confirmation of the Breeze M second burn. That should be in about an hour.

+ Monday Monday...
"...so good to me!" And a good Monday it is. Spacecraft
fueling operations were completed on schedule and without
incident. This is a major milestone on the launch campaign
calendar, because it signals the end of satellite
stand-alone testing, and the approach of joint operations.
It was also another chance to use many of the Lockheed
Martin and SES Americom supplies, those supplies being
tri-tip, roast beef, chicken wings, ham, etc. As usual, the
post-fueling gathering at the Polyot Hotel was a huge
success.
