We have third stage shutdown and separation of the Briz-M with the two satellites. Waiting for Briz-M first ignition.

But I have not observed the 2nd stage trace falling down on the diagram from Khrunitchev. Is-it normal?

Yes. I've compared with previous diagrams and we don't see the 2nd stage trace falling down.

Probably a problem of telemetry between the 2nd stage and the ground... as all is OK at this time.

Just to remind. Luch-5A separation will take place at the end of the Briz-M 4th ignition. Separation occurs at T+8h 54m 10s. After this, the Briz-M will execute another ignition (the 5th) and the end separation of Amos-5 occurs ate T+9h 35m 5s.
