Good news for Florida’s Space Coast. Just spoke w/ Air Force Gen. Monteith - he confirmed the Cape is ready to handle two launches in a day.

I was wondering too. I don't know what it means, but the 45th have removed the link to the SES-11 weather forecast form their webpage (although the file is still accessable via
direct link).

Hope this slows down or track on the western side of the cone.
Well, maybe not *directly* at Baton Rouge, if you don't mind.

Wait, two launches from different providers? That'd be news.

I'm afraid not. 45SW just updated the NROL52 weather forecast for the second attempt and deleted SES11s

Yes NROL52 seems to be the reason here.

SFN still says "a potential technical issue on the rocket."

Maybe it has something to do with being a reuse booster?

Assuming they stick with Oct 11th, would the launch window still be the same 6:53-8:53 p.m. EDT?

Generally speaking, yes. It will be the same approximate time. Probably a window open 4 or so minutes earlier -- based on the window moving 5mins earlier when the launch moved from 2 Oct to 7 Oct.

Re: NROL-52 and this launch
If the Atlas V roll-back to the VIF for removal, replacement, and retesting of the LV telemetry transmitter, followed by rolling the Atlas V back again to the pad, takes more than 3 or 4 days,
And if there are no further changes to the SES 11 launch campaign,
Then this Falcon 9 will launch first.

This now appears to be confirmed - revised
weather forecast for SES-11 launch tomorrow, with new
NROL-52 forecast for Saturday.

I noticed that the time from MECO to second engine start is 5 seconds. Iridium-3 was 13 seconds and SES-10 was 11 seconds.
The benefits of reduced coast time between stages is obvious, but I'm surprised they have managed to reduce the coast by more than 50% compared to the last SES mission.
Note that all numbers are taken from the mission press kits's.
