Hello Heavy!Launch engineers are in final preps to raise Falcon Heavy vertical ahead of the USSF-67 mission. The weather looks good for a window open of 5:55 pm ET tonight.Join the conversation in the @NASASpaceflight forums:forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topi…
Falcon Heavy with some🥢
Upcoming launch of #USSF67 mission via #SpaceX's #FalconHeavy vehicle#Space #USSF
Scene-setter for what could be the first of FIVE Falcon Heavy launches in 2023.
Falcon Heavy only just went vertical. KSC folks are being told that SpaceX is going to miss today's launch window. Awaiting an official update. @NASASpaceflight
Likely scrubbed 24 hours, hearing from multiple sources
The next SpaceX Falcon Heavy from pad 39A will launch the USSF-67 mission for the U.S. Space Force on January 15 at 5:56 p.m. EST.
Falcon Heavy is now vertical on Launch Complex 39A in Florida. Targeting Sunday, January 15 for launch of the USSF-67 mission → spacex.com/launches
SpaceX is targeting Sunday, January 15 at 5:56 p.m. ET (22:56 UTC) for Falcon Heavy’s launch of the USSF-67 mission to a geosynchronous Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.Following booster separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

USSF hasn't yet provided us with a high-res version of the patch. We've asked for it.
It was noted that Air Liquide has been working against a shortfall of the needed amounts of nitrogen to fully support the USSF-67 launch.In the review, sources note that a capacity problem at Air Liquide existed for Saturday’s launch attempt, with a solution to tie trailers filled with nitrogen into the overall nitrogen loop on base to augment the available supply.The issue at Air Liquide is the second such occurrence with the nitrogen supply to the space center within a year. A very visible and notable issue in 2022 played a large role in the delay of the SLS rocket’s Wet Dress Rehearsal campaign.The plan put in place for Saturday’s Falcon Heavy launch involves tying trailers of nitrogen into the main nitrogen loop – which runs up from the VAB out to the LC-39 pads before turning south to service Launch Complexes 41, 40, and 37.In addition to tying in trailers, base operations also have the option to isolate specific portions of the loop to help provide the needed supply of nitrogen for Falcon Heavy.

Is the payload mass the same as USSF-44 (3.7 tons)?
The mass of CBAS is estimated to be between 2000 and 3000 kg. The satellites are built by Boeing.
