Assuming its kept as the launch date, is this still before sunrise, or in
daylight?

Based on the U.S. naval observatory information, hopefully and if
sts-117 launches on Thursday march 15th at 6:43 am EDT (with a ten
minute launch window), it will be before civil twilight or in the dark
(which should make for a pretty cool sunrise for the astronauts on the
ascent), not to mention a very colorful sky for those watching the
launch from the ground.
