From the field

Status TBD from Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA. Launch Library has this no-earlier-than September 2026 and no closer: the Wed, Sep 30 you may see quoted elsewhere is the last day of that month standing in for the whole of it, not a date anybody has announced. Worth knowing it is coming; nothing to leave the house for until the range narrows to a day, which for a Cape flight is usually two to three weeks out. ACCESS: Merritt Island NWR — Black Point and Bio Lab drives: 7:08am to 7:32pm.
