The launch window is scheduled to open at 3:59 p.m. and last for one hour and 27 minutes, the release shows.
However, a backup opportunity will be available on Wednesday within the same window if needed.
The 45th Weather Squadron forecasts a 45% chance of weather interfering with Tuesday’s launch attempt, though that risk falls to 35% if pushed until Wednesday.
