Liftoff is targeted for 6:34 a.m. PT, with backup opportunities available until 10:34 a.m. PT. If needed, additional launch opportunities are also available on Monday, June 9 starting at 6:20 a.m. PT. This will be the seventh flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-126, Transporter-12, SPHEREx, NROL-57 and two Starlink missions.
