After this mission, no launches are planned from Florida for another month.

SpaceX will look to continue its high launch cadence later on Sunday with its third mission in just nine days, and fourth in a month. For the launch, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will attempt to deliver the Intelsat 35e communications satellite to geostationary transfer orbit. The launch window opens at 7:36pm ET and spans 58 minutes. The primary concern is weather, with just a 40 percent chance of favorable conditions at launch time.
With a mass of 6,761kg, this is the heaviest satellite SpaceX has ever launched to geostationary orbit, about 36,000km above the Earth's surface. For this reason, the rocket will not have enough fuel reserves to attempt a safe return to Earth—even to a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. This booster, therefore, is being expended.
If the Falcon 9 does fly Sunday, it would cap a remarkably productive period for SpaceX. Already, the company has successfully launched nine missions in 2017, and this would be the company's fourth flight since June 3. Should inclement weather preclude a launch Sunday, a backup opportunity will come Monday, at 7:37pm ET.

Copyright Holders Ask Google to Block Site-Blocking Notifications
Every day automated ‘bots’ browse the Internet looking for infringing content, firing millions of takedown notices in response. This can sometimes lead to confusing mistakes, such as when copyright holders target UK ISP site blocking notifications.

Following a series of High Court orders, UK Internet providers now block access to thousands of pirate domain names.
If prospective pirates try to access these sites, they are presented with a blocking notification instead.
Virgin Media, for example, shows the following message to its subscribers.
“Virgin Media has received an order from the High Court requiring us to prevent access to this site.”
While these type of messages are crystal clear to the general public, they appear to cause confusion among copyright holders. Or more likely, among the automated takedown tools they use.
This week we stumbled upon an unusual request from the anti-piracy group RipBlock, sent on behalf of Amorphous Music. The notice in question targets several links, but also the blocking page of Virgin Media, as seen below.
Needless to say, Virgin’s blocking notification doesn’t list any infringing material. Perhaps RipBlock’s monitoring tool is using a Virgin Media connection, entering the notification in their system instead of the URL of a pirate site?
While that seems plausible, it would mean that the UK company is using more than one ISP, as it also frequently reports the blocking notifications of Sky in its takedown requests.
In any case, it’s clear that the company doesn’t check its submissions very carefully, as the same URLs are listed in dozens of DMCA notices.
Interestingly, this kind of mistake is not unique to RipBlock. Another UK company, Leak Delete, asked Google to remove BT’s blocking page from its search results with a similar takedown notice.
BT’s “ukispcourtorders.co.uk” page provides a list of blocked sites and no infringing content. Nonetheless, Leak Delete has targeted it repeatedly according to Google’s transparency report.
In situations like this, we can see how erroneous takedown claims can easily lead to over-blocking. If blocking requests are used to block access to site blocking notifications, anything can be targeted.
It’s good to know that, despite receiving millions of requests per day, Google is still able to spot most of these flaws.
The search giant can’t catch them all though. As a result, BT’s blocking notification is no longer listed in the search engine.
