Ending (for SpaceX at least) a spate of scrubs and aborts going back to September 29th, clear weather and compliant GSE (ground support equipment) permitted the launch of Falcon 9 B1058 on its third mission: the 12th block of Starlink satellites.
There’s at least 4 more Falcon launches anticipated this month, including one (possibly two) more Starlink launch, a GPS launch, NROL-108 (no patch yet!), and the Crew-1 launch of a Dragon capsule to the ISS on Halloween.
ULA has yet to reschedule its own launch of NROL-44, which has also had a couple scrubs in September
