Has anyone found any information on the "Gossamer Piccolomini" payload?

Spaceflightnow is reporting only a 70% chance of acceptable weather. Does anyone have any better data?

A SpaceX Falcon 9 will launch 105 satellites along the Florida coast toward orbit today, and the first stage, on its 10th flight, will return to land at LZ-1 at Cape Canaveral.

There's some information here on the Exolaunch website: https://exolaunch.com/news-block-37.html
And the client website: https://www.lunasonde.com/

Nothing about this particular satellite, but the Gossamer constellation in general. I guess the satellites just get individual names, as here's another one (Gossamer Picard): https://www.nanosats.eu/sat/gossamer

As always, you can find the weather forecast reports on the website of the 45th weather squadron https://www.patrick.spaceforce.mil/About-Us/Weather/

"Go for propellant load."
"Launch autosequence has started."

Also, in the past, SpaceX webcasts would confusingly show a going-live time of T-0, though they'd actually go live ~10 minutes earlier.
But I see today's webcast says it will go live at 10:15 EST, 10 minutes before the window opens.

Is that a recent change (counting down to that actual broadcast time, not T-0), or was it made a while ago?

Our team was responsible for the integration of three ports on the EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) ring of Transporter-3. The first one was intended for accommodating Sich-2-30, a 160 kg class microsat, on behalf of our customer Yuzhnoye State Design Office of Ukraine, for which our team was responsible for launch contracting, a fully custom launch adapter structure and the launch integration campaign.

The other two ports are to accommodate 44 of Planet’s SuperDove 3U-XL+ Flock 4X satellites, along with a total of 21 satellites under a contract between ISILAUNCH and different customers.
