Starlink 2-4 NET December, from SFN, SpaceX launches Dragon cargo ship to deliver new solar arrays to space station, November 26:QuoteThe launch Saturday was the 54th SpaceX mission so far in 2022. SpaceX aims to launch around a half-dozen Falcon 9 rockets from Florida and California by the end of December to reach the company’s goal of 60 missions this year.The next Falcon 9 launch is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 30, carrying a commercial lunar lander into space for the Japanese company ispace. The privately-developed spacecraft will attempt to become the first commercial mission to make a soft landing on the moon next year.(unless in the now-unlikely possibility Starlink 2-4 is very shortly announced to launch on November 30 after HAKUTO-R)

https://www.spacex.com/launches/ispace-m1/QuoteSpaceX is targeting Wednesday, November 30 for a Falcon 9 launch of ispace's HAKUTO-R Mission 1 - the first privately-led Japanese mission to land on the lunar surface - from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Also onboard this mission is NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Lunar Flashlight. The instantaneous launch window is at 3:39 a.m. ET (08:39 UTC), and a backup opportunity is available on Thursday, December 1 at 3:37 a.m. ET (08:37 UTC).The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched SES-22 and three Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
