RE: SES-9 delayed & moving to a later date in February due to unforseen issues
There's industry level talk in L2 that points to this launch **possibly** moving to at least the second half of Feb. Totally unofficial, and it's always subject to change, but by now we should have info on "readiness days" for the Cape pads (which we get) and that provides a clue to milestones such as the Static Fire date. So the talk of it not being early Feb sounds like it has legs (no pun intended).

SES-9 launch delayed & moving to March
Industry officials are now openly speculating that the launch will not occur until March. The effect of another month’s delay might be minimal for SES – although the company’s 2016 revenue forecast includes substantial SES-9 revenue. But the knock-on effects on the rest of the SpaceX manifest for 2016 may be more important.
In response to SpaceNews inquiries, SES on Jan. 29 said it is awaiting word from SpaceX to determine when the SES-9 launch would occur. The company specifically declined to say whether March was a more likely launch at this point but said that the satellite, built by Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems of El Segundo, California, was in good health and was not blocking the launch.
Many companies are hoping for a 2016 launch from SpaceX. Some are more anxious than others. With each passing week without a launch, their announced schedules become less and less tenable.
