Booster B1077-16

Mission is apparently named "TD7"?

Quote
SpaceX is targeting Sunday, November 17 for a Falcon 9 launch of the TD7 mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The two-hour window opens at 4:29 p.m. ET. If needed, there is a backup opportunity on Monday, November 18 at the same time.

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 16th flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, NG-20, and nine Starlink missions. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

No timeline for the 2nd stage after SES-1. Probably a customer request.

I'm guessing, but I suspect the issue is winds and/or sea state in the recovery zone.
