The schedule on SpaceflightNow has Formosat-5 slipping to August...

Updated it [Formosat-5] via the L2 schedules. August 24 NET. Former Iridium NEXT-3 slot - which is now in September.

Aren't there FCC filings for a transmitter on the ASDS? I seem to recall something like that, but don't have specifics on it.
That's an L2 link, which serves no appreciable purpose for this manifest until Chris decides to take that information public.

Spaceflight Now is showing this on August 28.
elonmusk 10 so far this year, another 12 to go
So 12 more to go, while there are currently 15 marked as this year on this manifest. Any guesses as to the most likely ones to drop off? The last three (Hispasat 1F, Bangabandhu, Paz & co-passenger) seem like a reasonable place to look...
