A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the Amazonas Nexus satellite for Hispasat on February TBD.

Changed from 5th with Jan 28 update, I think.

Slip?

A payload launch processing delay?

If it was the Falcon 9, SpaceX could easily substitute another LV and maintain launching on February 5. We'd learn about it as a change of LV.

I hope it's a delay of only a few days.

If it's more than a few days, then SpaceX can always serve up another cluster of Starlinks instead.

We shall see.

The standard time for launching satellites to geosynchronous transfer orbit is overnight, yes? Backtracking from the need to start drawing electricity from the solar panel(s) ASAP in daylight, so as to avoid running down the battery? (Of course, there are exceptions.)

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, February 5 at 5:32 p.m. ET (22:32 UTC) for Falcon 9’s launch of the Hispasat Amazonas Nexus mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. A backup launch opportunity is available on Monday, February 6 at the same time.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched SES-22, ispace’s HAKUTO-R Mission 1, and three Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

With the Starlink 5-3 recovery mission complete, support Ship Bob has repositioned approx 320 km north to support the Amazonas Nexus mission on Sunday.

All being well with both launches, Bob may return with four fairing halves on board next week.
