Finally a cancel-and-replace NGA Hazardous Operations notice for the postponement to January 19. The canceled notice had a hazard warning period of 13:33 TO 17:46 UTC. The new notice is 14:15 TO 19:29 UTC. Extrapolating the launch times given previously on the SpaceX webpage, if the launch gets delayed to January 24, the actual launch time is ~14:13, and on January 25 ~13:59, which are before the start of the warning period.

Attempt #3 - Of Course I Still Love You droneship is outbound and heading for the Starlink 2-4 LZ.

Previous attempts in November and earlier this month were delayed and the droneship recalled to port.
