    The launch of AEHF 3 has been delayed to 2013 Sep 18 at 08:10 UTC.
    
    http://www.spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av041/status.html
     
    Here is the approximate MECO 2 (T+00:27:35) TLE, assuming launch at 08:10 UTC:
    
    AHEF 3                                                 176 X 50084 km
    1 75600U          13261.35943288  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    06
    2 75600  20.7000 301.5452 7920000 180.0000   1.1497  1.55264620    09
     
    Not long after spacecraft separation (T+00:50:58), the Centaur will perform a CCAM (collision and contamination
    avoidance manoeuvre) followed by blowdown of any remaining propellants, which should be complete by about 4400 s after
    separation, or about 10:14 UTC, which is the epoch of the search TLE:
    
    Centaur                                                 88 X 50428 km
    1 75601U          13261.42638890  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    05
    2 75601  20.4000 302.9452 7956000 178.2500  37.9467  1.54321810    03
