Just checking spaceflight now to make sure they still planned to launch tonight. They are, currently loading fuel into the centaur stage. Launch window opens at 9:30 pm ( 2:30 Dec 18 ) A cola is listed for 10:53:38 to 10:58:15 p.m. EST. This is a hold in the launch, so the rocket avoids space debris currently in orbit as it heads into the needed orbit. Here's my non proper search orbit, it's just a guess, so use with caution.

So good luck to searches out there. Satellite is release approx 32 min 25 sec after launch. After spacecraft separation, the atlas centaur will perform a collision and contamination avoidance manuever. The rocket will also perform a propellent blowout.
