The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Hotbird 13G communications satellite for Eutelsat from pad 40 on November 2 at 11:26 p.m. EDT. The launch window stretches about two hours. A Falcon 9 will launch the Intelsat Galaxy 31 & 32 communication satellites from pad 40 on November 8, in the late morning EST. A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the Eutelsat 10B communication satellite on November TBD. A Falcon 9 from pad 39A will launch the Dragon CRS-26 resupply mission to the ISS on November 20 around 4:40 p.m. EST. A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the HAKUTO-R lunar lander for iSpace on November 22. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch.
The majority of Tuesday's mission, known as USSF-44, will occur in secret as the Falcon Heavy's upper stage climbs to geosynchronous altitude more than 20,000 miles above Earth. The exact timing of the upper stage's final burn and deployment of the two main payloads -- the Shepherd Demonstration satellite and the LDPE-2 rideshare spacecraft -- is not being released due to the classified nature of the mission, according to a Space Force spokesperson.
“We track four major Starship flights,” Kirasich said, starting with the first orbital launch. That’s followed by one to test propellant transfer in space, which is needed to refuel the Starship lunar lander, and a “longer duration” Starship mission, details of which he did not discuss. The fourth mission is the uncrewed lunar landing demonstration mission scheduled for late 2024.

Europe's third largest operator, Hispasat has already deployed a total of 15 satellites in space, nine of which are still in service. With Red Eléctrica as its majority shareholder since October 2019, the next platform "is already in the oven", said the corporation's president, former housing minister Beatriz Corredor. It is called Amazonas Nexus, of which Miguel Angel Panduro has anticipated that "it will take off next January". It will do so from Cape Canaveral aboard a Falcon 9 launcher from billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX company.

Looking like NET Nov 13-17 unless it's slipping into Dec. Alternatively, with ViaSat-3 slipping into 2023 and probably liable to slip further into Jan, there's a chance that 39A could be made ready for a F9 fairing launch in late Nov after CRS-26.https://twitter.com/13ericralph31/status/1587028560375873536

NASA and Boeing now are targeting April 2023 for the agency’s Crew Flight Test (CFT), the first flight with astronauts on the company’s CST-100 Starliner. The date adjustment deconflicts visiting spacecraft traffic at the space station as NASA and Boeing work together to achieve flight readiness....The CFT astronauts will live and work on the space station for about two weeks. Following a successful crewed flight, NASA will work to complete certification of the Starliner spacecraft and systems for regular crew rotation missions to the space station. A launch date for NASA’s Boeing Starliner-1 mission will be determined following a successful flight test with astronauts and close out of the agency’s certification work....NASA and SpaceX are targeting mid-February 2023, for launch of the agency’s Crew-6 mission to the International Space Station....The Crew-6 mission will be Dragon Endeavour’s fourth flight to the space station, which previously supported the Demo-2, Crew-2, and Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) missions, making the spacecraft the fleet leader in number of flights to and from the station. The Dragon spacecraft currently is undergoing refurbishment at SpaceX’s Dragonland facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.NASA and SpaceX also are targeting fall 2023 for launch of the agency’s Crew-7 mission to the International Space Station, ahead of the return of Crew-6.

Space Systems Command successfully launches first NSSL missionfor U.S. Space Force on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocketEL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Space Systems Command and its U.S. Space Force (USSF)-44 mission partners successfully launched the Long Duration Propulsive EELV (Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle) Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA), or LDPE-2 and Shepherd Demonstration mission on the first National Security Space Launch (NSSL) aboard SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket at 9:41 a.m. EDT (6:41 a.m. PDT) Nov. 1 from Launch Complex LC-39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida.The LDPE-2 space vehicle will deliver six payloads that advance communications, space weather sensing and other technologies into near-geosynchronous orbits. Multiple commercial and government partners worked together to ensure the success of this multifaceted and important mission.The Shepherd Demonstration is designed to test new technologies to enhance safe and responsible rendezvous and proximity operations. It will accelerate risk reduction efforts to inform future Programs of Record.
11/01/2022 04:54 ...There are two payloads stacked on top of the other inside the Falcon Heavy’s nose cone. One is called the Shepherd Demonstration, and the other is the Space Force’s second Long Duration Propulsive ESPA, or LDPE 2, spacecraft, itself hosting six payloads — three that will remain attached to the spacecraft and three that will deploy from LPDE 2 to perform their own missions.
