SpaceX now has a Planning Date of January 15th for the launch of EchoStar 23 from their new Launch Complex 39A, formally used for launching the Apollo missions and the Space Shuttles. This will be the first launch from here since Atlantis launched with STS-135 in 2011. They also have a date of NET (No Earlier Than) January 8th for the launch of 10 IridiumNEXT satellites. They're just waiting for FAA approval so dates may be subject to change, so don't plan for these exact dates for launch.
