IF the TDRS-M launch is delayed from August 3 (apparently looking more and more likely),THEN how many days could it be delayed without affecting the NROL-52 launch date?<snip>

Changes to Eastern Range launch schedule: SpaceX CRS-12 now no earlier than 8/14; SpaceX X-37B NET 9/7; ULA NROL-52 NET 9/25.
Is the delay of the NROL-52 launch from 8/31 to NET 9/25 (same LV from same LC) directly caused by the delay of the TDRS-M launch from 8/3 to 8/10, then to 8/20?I assume so, but seek confirmation, if possible.
Interesting that SpaceX is NET than 27th. Guessing SpaceX is going to have to move their date since I didn't think the eastern range could recycle between launch providers in under 24 hours?
ULA: preliminary assessments show minor damage to Cape facilities, no damaged flight hardware. May resume normal ops Wed., 9/13.
Reminds me of the saying: "Americans play poker, Russians play chess." in terms of global politics..

We are on the base. Coping with power and water. Normal operations resumed. Great effort by USAF. Launch campaigns are back on
Awesome to hear NET September still a possibility?
We don't talk about NRO Club
With so much noise about the build up to NROL-42, I am guessing the silence around 52 is leading to it being not longer in Sept. Since we are 8 days away from the NET.
