I noticed!! I think that's just how their orbits are now but this seems to change, probably because they are in slightly different orbits that just coincide at the moment. Wasn't long ago, I would work CAS-4B and then at LOS, I'd immediately go to CAS-4A near AOS. They'll probably separate again gradually with some time.

Hello all,

Has anyone else noticed that CAS-4A and -4B appear to be orbiting nearly
on top of each other today?

At first, I thought it was an odd font artifact when I looked at the
world map view. Nope, they're basically on top of one another.
