Is there information as to the delay to the end of the launch window? SpaceX didn’t say why.

Looking to the drone ship footage my guess would be Booster Recovery Weather.

S2 burn started

SECO-2

Next burn in about an hour & 20 mins - no update yet on success of 2nd burn

Edit to add: worth noting there were some telemetry issues during coast phase (I think due to lack of ground coverage)

Orbit is probably around 200 x 8000 km x 28 deg. Third burn will reduce inclination to 0 and circularize the orbit at apogee
