I have not seen an official confirmation from SpaceX yet, but word is that the
Starlink 3 launch might be postponed again, to 27 Jan 14:49 UT. Indeed a new
Maritime Broadcast Warning has appeared for that date:


230129Z JAN 20
NAVAREA IV 75/20(11,26).
WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC.
FLORIDA.
1. HAZARDOUS OPERATIONS, ROCKET LAUNCHING

Here is a new initial elset prediction if the launch is ineed postponed to 27
Jan 14:49 UT:

STARLINK 3
