A live webcast of this mission will begin about ten minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch at spacex.com and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.
The forecast calls for a temperature of 61°F, broken clouds, 62% cloud cover and a wind speed of 4mph.
This is the 21st flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-113, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, Transporter-7, Iridium OneWeb, SDA-0B, and 14 Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
The mission is suspected to launch a fourth batch of satellites for a reconnaissance satellite constellation built by SpaceX and Northrop Grumman for the National Reconnaissance Office to provide imaging and other reconnaissance capabilities.
