The Block 2 BlueBirds, featuring as large as 2400 square foot communications arrays, will be the largest satellites ever commercially deployed in Low Earth orbit once launched. This launch will feature 3 satellites.

The reminder alerts you thirty minutes ahead. No live coverage has been announced yet, so the file points at this page instead. It is a file rather than a subscription: launch dates slip, and a saved entry does not move when they do.

Current date is a placeholder or rough estimation based on unreliable or interpreted sources.
