The sun is down and the Falcon is up!
Fueling is underway and SpaceX is counting down to launch of the #GPSIIISV04 satellite. Let's do this!

The big T-20 minute. Our visual sign the prop loading is going to plan and on track in the count.

T-minus 20 minutes. Chilldown of the strongback at pad 39A is underway to prepare for liquid oxygen loading into the Falcon 9's second stage.

20-second exposure for the big 20-minute vent.

The countdown is proceeding well for tonight's Falcon 9 launch with the next-gen GPS satellite. Let's go!

SpaceX reports the recovery ship "Ms. Chief" will attempt to recover the fairing halves from today's mission from the water, rather than trying to catch them with a net. The company says it is in the process of upgrading its fairing recovery vessels.

Hydraulics in the first and second stage Merlin engines are being activated for the Falcon 9's steering system.

And Ms Chief - looks like rough seas.

T-minus 7 minutes. Prevalves leading to the Falcon 9's Merlin 1D first stage engines are opening, permitting super-cold liquid oxygen to flow into the engines to condition the turbopumps for ignition.

T-minus 4 minutes, 15 seconds. The process to lower the strongback structure at pad 40 has begun with the opening up the cradles around the rocket. The strongback will move to an angle of around 1.5 degrees from the Falcon 9 in preparation for ignition, then further retract at liftoff.

T-minus 3 minutes and counting. The rocket's destruct system is on internal power and being armed, and liquid oxygen topping is being terminated soon.
