According to SpaceX, liftoff is targeting 1:08 a.m.

However, additional opportunities will be available starting at 10:05 p.m. if needed.

The 45th Weather Squadron is forecasting a less than 5% chance that weather will interfere with the early-morning launch attempt. Those chances don’t increase if the launch is pushed into the evening.

This is expected to be the 15th flight for the first-stage booster used in the mission, which previously launched mPOWER-B, BlueBird-1, USSF-124, Crew-6, and 10 other Starlink missions.

News 6 will stream the launch live at the top of this story when it happens.
