Pretty straight forward copy & paste from ULA's pages:
Rocket/Payload: Atlas V launching the commercial Intelsat-14 satellite on behalf of Lockheed Martin Space Launch Services.
Date/Launch Time/Site: Nov.14, with a launch window of 12:48-2:18 a.m. EST from Space Launch Complex-41, Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla. If the launch scrubs, the launch window for a second launch attempt on Nov. 15 is the same.
Launch Notes: This is fifth Atlas V launch of 2009 and the 18th overall launch in Atlas V program history. With the Intelsat-14 launch, half of the Atlas V launches will have been commercial missions. This mission, designated AV-024, will be launched aboard an Atlas V 431 configuration using a Common Core Booster powered by an RD-180 engine, three Aerojet strap-on solid rocket motors, a Centaur upper stage powered by a Pratt & Whitney-manufactured RL10 engine and a 4-meter diameter fairing.
Payload Description: The Intelsat-14 spacecraft will provide high-powered video and data services through its 40 C-band and 22 Ku-band payload to customers throughout the Americas, Europe and Africa. It will replace the Intelsat IS-1R satellite once it’s operational. Intelsat-14 was built by Space Systems/Loral and also hosts a payload for the Internet Router in Space, or IRIS program, for the Department of Defense.
