There's a Starlink launch on the 12th (4-34) but that time would actually mean it is launching on the 11th local time so that's quite interesting if it moved up to the 11th

I don't have a Rocket Launching notice yet for 4-34, but considering the haphazard way the notices come out, that doesn't prove anything either way.

Ben Cooper just updated his site that puts the launch at “around 9-10 pm” September 10, seems to be a referral to the alternative launch time of, IIRC (and per Space Delta 45’s weather forecast), 9:49 pm EDT September 10 = 01:49 UTC, September 11.

He now lists the T-0 as 9:10 pm EDT, September 10 = 01:10 UTC, September 11.

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, September 10 for a Falcon 9 launch of 34 Starlink satellites and AST SpaceMobile’s BlueWalker 3 satellite to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 9:10 p.m. ET, or 01:10 UTC on September 11, and a backup opportunity is available on Sunday, September 11 at 8:48 p.m. ET, or 00:48 UTC on September 12.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Crew Demo-2, ANASIS-II, CRS-21, Transporter-1, Transporter-3, and eight Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. This will also be Falcon 9’s first five-burn mission.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.

One of our most complex missions

Tomorrow's mission will include 5 burns of Falcon 9's upper stage.

The first two burns are to reach the orbit for BlueWalker-3 rideshare payload deployment.

The third and fourth move to the Starlink deployment orbit.

The final burn is to deorbit the stage.

BTW this flight is ending up with B1058, not 1067 as originally rumored.

So, what is B1067 being saved for?
