UPDATE: Dragon is now home!

| RE: Upcoming launch
Quote Elon Musk @elonmusk 6m
Upcoming Falcon 9 demo has a lot of new technology, so the probability of failure is significant

| Per Elon Musk, hot fire test taking place today.
Hopefully we'll hear how it went relatively soon. In the meantime, enjoy a picture of this new beauty fueled up on the pad
Update: The hot fire has taken place! Hopefully a final launch date will be set in a couple of days.

| Due to some anomalies that occurred during the test yesterday, another static fire test is planned for tomorrow. Hopefully sometime after that a final launch date will be set.

| The static fire test was rescheduled for Wednesday, but that may have been pushed back as well. Also, due to the VAFB range being so busy with the upcoming ICBM tests, the Falcon 9 flight is delayed until at least the end of the month

| Falcon 9 with CASSIOPE lifted off the pad at the planned time, no delays or problems reported. Everything appears to have worked perfectly Hopefully some really nice videos and pictures will be released soon, and more info on exactly how the flight went and whether the payloads were released properly.
EDIT: Here's one picture from Gene Blevins/LA Daily News

| Reports indicate that all payloads have separated from the Falcon 9, and the CASSIOPE satellite is functioning normally.
