Hello all,
Just a note that this object has been launched, and
the timing appears to match the pre-launch ephems on JPL
Horizons. Ephems are at
https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi
Enter target body -62. The object(s) will be well
placed in the morning sky for northern hemispherians.
If the actual location doesn't quite match the pre-launch
ephemerides, or if there's a booster or other hardware
headed out to Mars as well, it may be more visible in a
few hours as the object gets further from us. Any difference
between the pre-launch theory and post-launch reality would,
I'd expect, be a little less noticeable, if it's a matter
of a slightly different launch time.
