Meanwhile in southern China the pad platforms are starting to rotate back as the Long March 5B rocket w/ the 1st part of the Chinese Space Station will come into view later. Exact T-0 hasn’t been known since someone said 03:18 UTC some days ago, it might be off by some minutes.https://twitter.com/iBd6S77Ivw72xPk/status/1387536207047913472 …

Weather is definitely a concern at Wenchang as well - here's a lightning strike at the pad some hours ago. CCTV's news channel now publicly stating a "03:00-ish UTC" T-0 with a 20 minutes long launch window.pic.twitter.com/yR4t7RAYYe

T-0 apparently slipped a bit to 03:22:30 UTC, though I'm not sure of the source. There were rain around the launch site but these are currently subsiding.

Weird, the LD just did a simulated countdown while checking with downrange tracking stations at less than T-30 minutes. You'd think that these are done in launch rehersals and not late in the actual countdown...

For the record the liftoff time ended up a bit later than planned - if I heard correctly it's 03:23:15 UTC.

I heard this on the Chinese stream too...they are probably doing so with either propellant blow down or RCS thrusters, or both.https://twitter.com/rhZhao/status/1387614984612556807?s=19 …

Minor correction: Mir-but-with-ISS-USOS-interior of the 2020s. No more 1990s space station cluttering.https://twitter.com/Kaynouky/status/1387636379128156162 …
Des photos de l’intérieur du module Tianhe !!!
Comme prévu l’intérieur est tout blanc, tout propre, tout bien rangé, avec des mains courantes bleues.
Je ne sais pas vous mais ça me rappelle énormément le segment américain de l’ISS.
Magnifique.

The launch window was 03:22:30 - 03:45:50 UTC. That means a direct overlap with the latest Starlink launch - sth that happened on 23 Dec. 2017 w/ also a F9 & an H-IIA - was indeed on the cards. Curiously a Chinese launch also flew 3 hours later that day!pic.twitter.com/thvSdUFxu7
