Just noticed this. Sorry to see you go Ken but I certainly empathize. Thank you for your years of diligent work here.

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, December 17 for a Falcon 9 launch of the SES O3b mPOWER mission to medium Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The one-hour 27-minute launch window opens at 3:59 p.m. ET. If needed, a backup opportunity is available Tuesday, December 17 with the same window.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.

This will be the first flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
