Unfortunately, regardless of when Shattered Space launches for you, there is no preload option for Shattered Space. 

So, when the DLC does become available in your timezone, make sure you’ve set aside the 15GB of space needed for the Shattered Space download size. Depending on your internet speeds, you could be in the game within an hour, or waiting a bit longer if you have a really slow connection. 

While you wait, make sure you read up on the Starfield Shattered Space achievements list which gives a good peak into the DLC’s main mission length, and check out the Shattered Space animated trailer analysis.
