Easy to understand, there are a total of 5 Breeze-M burns. So far the 1st & 2nd happened without incident. 3rd happens, external fuel tank for Breeze-M gets jetisoned and then the 4th happens. Then aprox 9hrs after launch the 5th and final one happens & then D10 is on its own. I am sure they do checks on it with ground stations then command it to open up and unfold those big solar arrays.

3 & 4 Down... One to Go

The ILS launch team has confirmed multiple mission events have successfully occurred: third burn ignition and shutdown, jettison of the additional propellant tank (APT) and fourth burn ignition and shutdown. We are standing by for information on our fifth and final burn sequence, which takes place at approximately 6 a.m. EDT.
