Delayed until Friday now."Taking additional time for the team to conduct full inspections and cleanings due to detection of particles in 2nd stage fuel system. Now targeting CRS-13 launch from SLC-40 on Dec. 15. Next launch opportunity would be no earlier than late December."

I've been keeping an eye on the New Zealand launch that has been scheduled for launch all week. It keeps getting postponed for various reasons.
Now slated for early hours of Sunday morning (UK time).

Falcon Heavy is due to static fire on Saturday 6th Jan.
If all goes well, the actual launch will likely be on Monday 15th Jan. This is a public holiday for many in the US (Martin Luther King Jr. Day).
Not sure of the launch window time yet. Hopefully during daylight hours for better visibility.
Also it seems the "Zuma" Falcon 9 has been put back 24 hrs to Friday 5th Jan (Saturday 6th at 1 am - 3 am UK time).
This is due to the weather forecast being better on Saturday (high level wind mostly).
