T+1 minute. Approaching Mach 1, the speed of sound.
The next major event afterwards will be Max-Q, the period of maximum aerodynamic pressure. The first stage will be throttled down at that time.

T+2 minutes. M-Vac chilldown sequence has started.
We should expect MECO (Main Engine Cut Off) in about 25 seconds. Prior to that event, the first stage will throttle down to limit acceleration stresses.
