Quote from: AndrewM on 10/22/2024 01:01 amAny indication this is still planned to launch this year? I haven't seen any recent information.The Intelsat 33e breakup investigation might delay the launch, as it also uses the BSS-702MP bus.

I've added links to the official @SpaceX Launches web page to make it easy to find the livestream and information on launch slips, assuming the page is available.
SpaceX is targeting Saturday, November 30 for a Falcon 9 launch of 24 Starlink satellites, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 12:00 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 3:58 a.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Saturday, November 30, starting at 11:39 p.m. ET.A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.This is the sixth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-31, Crew 8, Polaris Dawn, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX is targeting Saturday, November 30 for a Falcon 9 launch of the NROL-126 mission and 20 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The four-hour launch window opens at 12:10 a.m. PT. If needed, an additional launch opportunity is available the same day, with the four-hour launch window opening at 11:54 p.m. PT.This is the first flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
