SpaceX is targeting Sunday, January 29 at 8:47 a.m. PT for a Falcon 9 launch of 49 Starlink satellites and D-Orbit’s ION SCV009 Eclectic Elena to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. If needed, there is an additional launch opportunity the same day at 12:45 p.m. PT with backup opportunities also available on Monday, January 30 at 8:34 a.m. PT and 12:31 p.m. PT.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff HERE

Change #3...Now looking at 8:15 am Pacific Tuesday. They give the reason as "additional checkouts" which means they've found something wrong somewhere.
