The work on 39A will take at least 60 days, which will put the completion date in October or after.

I looked back through the thread and couldn't find anything on the landing facilities for this launch complex. I know that they will have and ASDS and they would probably use it a lot due to this facility being planned for GTO commsat launches, but does anybody know where they might plan to put a LZ-1 style area?

It's fine to have that *opinion* (which I share), but remember you're posting to and between an educated audience that includes people who not only work or have worked in the space industry, but also people who make it their hobby to parse through regulatory documents like FCC and FAA licenses, EPA Environmental Impact Statements and state property records to keep what we all OPINE distinct and separate from what we KNOW.
