Why is Dragon waiting a day and half before it splashes down tomorrow night?

Quote from: NASA

It is the phasing and orbital mechanics with SpaceX’s deorbit burn to bring Dragon home to the prime splashdown site.

Guess the news is out now that we filed the flight plan. NASA‘a WB 57 will be filming the CRS21 dragon capsule return. Might even get to see some live feed on NASA or SpaceX YouTube. I’ll be flying in the back seat. #OneShot

I'm a little surprised (annoyed) that NASA TV has not published their coverage schedule. When does it start?

https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/schedule.html

The PDF there shows old info on Monday undocking and nothing about splashdown.

EDIT: thanks SMS for providing that statement, but next time please do provide a source, or use the forum's quoting function if it came from another post. At first it read to me as just your opinion.

I know neither NASA nor SpaceX have provided live coverage of cargo Dragon returns in the past, but this was the first of a whole new series, if not a completely new design. I'm just disappointed at the missed opportunity. Even at night! If the splashdown target had been east of the Florida peninsula, locals could have been using the live coverage to know when to look outside and try to spot the entry.

(editing this in so as not to needlessly spam the thread any further)

On Wednesday, Jan. 13, Dragon will conduct a deorbit burn at 7:37 p.m. to begin its re-entry sequence into Earth’s atmosphere. Dragon is expected to splash down west of Tampa off the Florida coast about 8:27 p.m. The splashdown will not be broadcast.

See SMS' reply immediately following your post.

Also, neither NASA nor SpaceX present live coverage of Cargo Dragon returns.

(Or at least it's been a long time since either did.)

So, not a surprise.

Time sensitive cargo from the #CRS21 Cargo Dragon arrived at approximately 11:30 pm ET to Kennedy Space Center for processing. This cargo was brought directly from the deck of GO Navigator which was stationed at the Tampa splashdown zone. #SpaceX #NASA
