Departure! ASOG droneship and Doug are underway from Port Canaveral to support the Intelsat 40e mission.

This departure then paves the way for JRTI droneship to enter Port shortly after with B1077 from Starlink 5-10, which is waiting just offshore.

Intelsat 40e is fueled up and one step closer to launch!
Working closely with IS-40e manufacturer @Maxar, IS-40e completed propellant loading operations and is now onto the next phase of the launch integration.

Quote
The IS-40e satellite and its hosted pollution-monitoring @NASA payload known as TEMPO is encapsulated under the payload fairings and will soon move to the hangar where it will be mated to the launch vehicle.

When in geosynchronous orbit over North America, the communication satellite will provide focused coverage for many of Intelsat’s customers, including commercial aviation, mobility and networks.

SpaceX is targeting Friday, April 7 for launch of the Intelsat IS-40e mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 119-minute launch window opens at 12:30 a.m. ET (04:30 UTC). If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Saturday, April 8 with a 119-minute window opening at 12:29 a.m. ET (04:29 UTC).

The Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-26, OneWeb Launch 16, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

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

My TEMPO program contact said that the rocket went vertical yesterday afternoon and “the go for launch meeting at 6 PM was successful”.

edit: He was not at the rocket!  My mistake☹️
edit2: not yet, soon🙂

My friend was by the launch site this afternoon, sent me this, and gave me permission to post it.
