And per SpaceX's mission page this has slipped all the way till February 11. Either to accommodate moving up the launch of Dragon Crew-12 (which would mean moving up by at least 1 week), or booster landing in Bahamas' paperwork is still not closed, or both.
Looks like the mission page has been removed again.
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the next GPS satellite for the U.S. Space Force from pad 40 on January 25 around 11:38 p.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on January 28 at 11:00 p.m. - 3:00 a.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on January 31 at 6:36-10:36 p.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch Crew-12 to the International Space Station from pad 40 on early-mid February, around or before dawn EST. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch.

News | Jan 22, 2026New Glenn-3 to Launch AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird SatelliteBlue Origin today announced that New Glenn’s next mission, New Glenn-3 (NG-3), will carry AST SpaceMobile’s next-generation Block 2 BlueBird satellite to low Earth orbit. The launch is scheduled for no earlier than late February from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. AST SpaceMobile selected Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch vehicle in November 2024 as part of its launch campaign for its cellular broadband network. The Bluebird satellite network will support commercial and government telecommunications applications, enabling users to remain connected as their devices transition between terrestrial cellular networks and space-based coverage, delivering broadband connectivity anytime, anywhere. “We’re proud to have AST SpaceMobile as our customer on NG-3,” said Dave Limp, CEO, Blue Origin. “Our customers need a reliable, cost-effective launch vehicle, and New Glenn is purpose-built to serve their needs.” The mission follows the successful NG-2 mission, which included the landing of the “Never Tell Me The Odds” booster. The same booster is being refurbished to power NG-3.

<snip>The current schedule has two marquee operations scheduled for the same day, Feb. 2: the launch of USSF-87, a national security mission, on a ULA Vulcan rocket and the wet dress rehearsal tanking test for the SLS, a critical milestone on the road to launching Artemis 2, a crewed flight around the Moon.<snip>"Today the government, or the Department of War, is not involved in commodities. That is something that the launch providers secure themselves or come up with their own solutions for. And in the case Artemis and Vulcan generally share GN2 (gaseous nitrogen) resources through the NASA pipeline,” [Col. Joyce Bulson, the deputy commander of the USSF’s Space Systems Command (SSC) Space Launch Delta 45] said.“So, that is something that has taken several weeks of work action to make sure that there is enough capacity, whether it’s bringing in additional trucks to the GN2 [plant?] or shipping operation slightly by a couple hours to get to that point.”<snip>“We have protected for up to four launch attempts for [Artemis II] because where it’s going, it has a very specific window that it needs to launch in,” Bulson said. “So we are prepared to support up to four launch attempts. If they do eat into that window, it may not be possible for them to do four launch attempts. So that’s going to be the priority on the range until Artemis goes. It’s protected for those additional launch attempts with their window.”<snip>“From a range asset perspective, it’s a number of hours to turn the range, and all of those different assets. Because Artemis is so resource intensive, we really wouldn’t want to be going back and forth between missions,” Bulson said. “Really, realistically, couldn’t do that and still protect for the four launch attempts. So, we don’t plan on having anything else scheduled in.”<snip>Rare launches for the Artemis program aside, the Eastern Range is preparing for another big year in orbital launches. Teams are readying for a future where by 2035, according to some external studies, the Cape may juggle 350 or more launches per year from a host of launch providers.<snip>“It’s very possible that you could have a launch by either of them by the end of the calendar year. Stoke is a provider on Lane 1 of [the National Security Space Launch contract]. Relativity is not, but we’re excited to see both of those successes.”
