It's just that I was under the impression the Florida polar corridor was only approved for Cape Canaveral and didn't apply to KSC.

But I'm looking at the FAA documentation and the polar launches don't seem to be exclusive to SLC-40.

This schedule would match up with the FCC doc below.  OSD (NET) 2022 Nov 21

1709-EX-ST-2022
SpaceX Mission 1821 from Cape Canaveral FL at LC-40 CCAFS or LC-39A KSC
no ASDS listed, so probably RTLS
NET late November

And a Falcon 9 from pad 39A will launch a batch of OneWeb satellites on late November TBD. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch.

Will that be a record of the shortest distance between integration facility and launch pad for a satellite ?

The SpX-26 launch delay would push the next launch from LC-39A into early December.
Quote from: SpaceX tweet

Don't think so. The other 2 OneWeb launches on Falcon 9 have 48 comsats each according to the US launch schedule thread.

Ruth Pritchard-Kelly, Senior Advisor for Regulatory & Space Policy, @OneWeb told us minutes ago that the Launch window for the #OneWeb next flight on @SpaceX #Falcon9 opens next week!

Also, she said that the following launch will also be ON FALCON 9 and not with ISRO. And the launch window for this second flight with @SpaceX opens in January.

So, the next two OneWeb Launches will be both with SpaceX on Falcon 9.

Next week launch window start is on Dec. 6. [Dec 1]
