Static Fire is NET Thursday per the L2 Status report (based on the launch date Bulgariasat-1 launched on).

Big ask. Need the shakedown report for 39A post launch and so on. Will update as we go.

James Dean reported earlier this morning that the NET date could be as soon as July 2nd. This is or course highly dependent upon pad flow, as Chris mentioned.

Always subject to change, but the Static Fire window - per L2 KSC - opens at 4pm local (Eastern). Runs through to midnight.

Next milestone will be rollout.
