Sorry for the late reminder. Launch in 25 mins at 9:38 PM EDT - live on NASA TV. Raining here, but might be visible from other locations on the east coast.

Scrubbed last night at T-2:40 due to ground support equipment problem. They'll try again tonight, Oct 2 at 9:16 PM EDT. Spaceflight Now has additional live update coverage. Here's the visibility timing map for tonight's attempt:
There are actually 3 US east coast launches scheduled in the next 24 hours. Less than 30 minutes after the Wallops Launch, SpaceX will attempt to launch a GPS 3 sat from SLC-40 at Canaveral (9:43 PM EDT), and SpaceX will also attempt to launch the next set of Starlink sats (Starlink 12) just a few miles away from pad 39A at KSC. That launch is listed as No Earlier Than 8:34 AM EDT, Sat Oct 3 - less than 12 hours later. Will be surprised if they pull this off.
