There's live video of every launch, although they do cut the feed before the 2nd stage deploys national security assets.

SpaceX is targeting no earlier than Wednesday, December 13 at 8:13 p.m. ET for Falcon Heavy’s launch of the USSF-52 mission to orbit.

Sounds like uncertainty.

Thank God I didn't push our trip back again. I think I'd wake up to blood spurting out of my neck before I passed out.

Being on base was cool, but man the uncertainty sucks.

I wonder if the ground issues is linked to the fire in CA.

I had to drive back to Palm Beach. I can't leave my mom alone for more then a few days, shes elderly.. I really wanted to see the heavy launch but I can't wait till wednesday night. Still, I had a good time in Titusville and Daytona. There's a lot of cool stuff to see.  

Maybe another time, boys.

Based upon your post I checked the 45th Weather Squadron forecast and it does appear that winds may prevent a launch for a few days.

"Forecast Discussion: Conditions will progressively deteriorate heading into tomorrow night, as a strong area of high
pressure to our north strengthens resulting in a tightening pressure gradient. Strong onshore winds will continue to
increase during the day tomorrow and through Thursday, likely exceeding wind constraints for both the primary and
backup days. Thus, the primary concerns for both days are Liftoff Winds along with a lower risk of violating the Cumulus  Cloud Rule for any coastal showers that develop."

Rocket Lab has a launch tonight, 2-hour window opens at 11pm EST.  Name: "The Moon God Awakens"

Location: Launch Complex 1, Pad B on New Zealand’s Mahia Peninsula

Info here

Mission Overview

Rocket Lab will launch a dedicated Electron mission for the Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (iQPS), a Japan-based Earth imaging company.

The mission will carry iQPS’s QPS-SAR-5 satellite named “TSUKUYOMI-I” into orbit on a dedicated Electron mission from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand. The mission has been named “The Moon God Awakens” in acknowledgement of Tsukuyomi, the Japanese God of the Moon.

QPS-SAR-5 is a synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite that will join a constellation after QPS-SAR-6 already in orbit. iQPS’s satellites are small, high-performance SAR satellites that use a lightweight, large, stowable antenna to collect high resolution images of Earth, even through clouds and adverse weather conditions. Ultimately, the iQPS constellation is planned to have 36 satellites capable of monitoring specific fixed points on Earth every 10 minutes.

In addition to being launched by Electron, the QPS-SAR-5 satellite will use Rocket Lab’s Mark II Motorized Lightband (MLB) as its separation system demonstrating the Company’s vertically integrated space systems strategy.

In post #20 above, Chokey noted that there will be six satellites in the Starlink 7-9 launch that will be able to be able to act as cell towers in space.  Here is additional information on that:

"However, this late night Friday mission is unique in that it will include the first six Starlink satellites that feature direct-to-cell capabilities. SpaceX stated that the new function “will enable mobile network operators around the world to provide seamless global access to texting, calling and browsing… on land, lakes or coastal waters.”

This direct-to-cell promise for the Starlink network is the beginning of a promise announced by SpaceX founder Elon Musk during an event in August 2022 with T-Mobile CEO and President Mike Sievert at Starbase in Texas.

Musk described the capability as a “massive game changer” that would eliminate dead zones in even the most remote parts of the world.

“This really is a big deal,” Musk said during the presentation. “Even if an entire region or country lost connectivity because of a severe hurricane or floods or fires or tornados, earthquakes… even if all the cell towers were taken out, your phone would still work.”

According to a Nov. 30, 2023, email sent to Kathyrn Medley, the acting division chief of the Federal Communication’s (FCC) Satellite Licensing Division, SpaceX anticipates launching “approximately 840 direct-to-cell capable satellites over the next 6 months, with additional launches continuing after that period.”

Jameson Dempsey, SpaceX’s director of satellite policy and the author of the email, wrote that the planned and future launches would “ensure that we can launch a critical mass of satellites in time to deliver commercial service later in 2024.”

“As such, while we understand that the Commission may limit our experimental authority to the satellites we expect to launch and testing the next 6 months, we request that the launch license include authority for all 7500 satellites in our direct-to-cell modification application,” Dempsey wrote.

Sievert noted during the August 2022 event that the upcoming service in the U.S. would use the existing T-Mobile mid-band PCS spectrum."

SpaceX to launch Falcon 9 first-stage booster on record-breaking 19th flight

"SpaceX is preparing a Falcon 9 first-stage booster for a record-breaking 19th launch just after midnight as it continues the expansion of its Starlink satellite constellation. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral is currently scheduled for 12:33 a.m. EST (0533 UTC).

First-stage B1058 is already the fleet leader with 18 missions and is poised to cement that position with the Starlink 6-32 mission, which will deliver 23 satellites to orbit. The booster first flew in May 2020 carrying astronauts for the first time on the Demo-2 Crew Dragon mission. It still features a faded NASA ‘worm’ logo from that mission."

I'd love to know the cost breakdown of that booster.

It's like getting 10 reloads out of Lapua brass.

Then if Elon can do the same with Starship.

The Falcon 9 booster is approved for up to 20 flights for Starlink missions.  I do not know what the limit is for government and commercial payloads and manned flights.

I also do not know if/when that limit will be approved once one or more boosters reach 20 flights.

Perhaps they do a major refurbishment or elect to retire it and get a new booster.

It appears that the Firefly launch was not a success...

Firefly Alpha upper stage malfunction puts payload into wrong orbit

"The rocket’s ascent appeared to go as planned, and launch controllers reported that the upper stage had achieved a nominal transfer orbit. Firefly then said a second burn of the upper stage was planned to take place about 40 minutes later to circularize the orbit, followed by payload separation.

However, Firefly did not provide an update about the status of the launch for several hours. In the meantime, tracking data from the U.S. Space Force showed two objects in elliptical orbits of 215 by 523 kilometers from the launch. That suggested the upper stage malfunctioned during the circularization burn.

Firefly confirmed in a statement 12 hours after launch that the second stage malfunctioned. “Alpha’s scheduled stage 2 engine relight did not deliver the payload to its precise target orbit,” the company said. “We will work with our customer and government partners to investigate the stage 2 performance and determine the root cause.”"

Today, Firefly’s Alpha launch had a successful liftoff & progressed seamlessly through each stage of flight, including  MECO, stage separation, fairing separation and the first SECO. Alpha’s scheduled stage 2 engine relight did not deliver the payload to its precise target orbit. Communications to the spacecraft has been established and mission operations are now underway.
