Industry official: @SpaceX has 7 launches from mid-March (EchoStar 23) to mid-June (@IridiumComm Next No. 2).
One industry official said SpaceX was juggling a long list of customers who are anxious to launch, and that the company has planned six campaigns from its Florida spaceport before proceeding with the Iridium launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.Upcoming launches include the EchoStar 23 ... a SpaceX Dragon supply freighter ... SES-10 ... Intelsat 35e ... and the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office’s NROL-76.An NRO spokeswoman on Feb. 16 said the satellite’s launch date had yet to be determined.
the BOOST column, which is a word chosen by me, is a sequential number I give to each flight since, when we started, there was no really good number to use for "labelling" boosters. So, yes, BOOST means nothing outside of the manifest list. To repeat, the BOOST number is fabricated by me and me alone.
You have a new entry for Q4 2018.

The Mars dates (and any Mars speculation) goes on the manifest because IT IS AWESOME TO TALK ABOUT GOING TO MARS. No discussion on the matter. The dates listed are the appropriate windows as determined by people who understand it. They are not coming off until one year (or 10 launches) after they pass.
New launch contract for SpaceX:Spanish satellite PAZ, which was originally scheduled for launch on Dnepr, now will be launched with SpaceXhttp://www.infoespacial.com/mundo/2017/02/27/noticia-empresa-spacex-lanzara-satelite-espanol.html(in Spanish)There is a similar article at "Deutsche Welle", but in Russian...In a nutshell:* Hisdesat has canceled the contract with Kosmotras;* They seek to recover $15 M via *Tribunal de Arbitraje de París*;* They signed a contract with SpaceX for a launch by the end of 2017...As I understand, PAZ is going to polar orbit, so it's a VAFB launch.Also,"With a total mass of around 1350 kg, the satellite is 5 m in length and 2.4 m in diameter."https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/p/pazSo, may be it is a rideshare. With FormoSat-5 ?
Hisdesat: We dont yet know the ID of our co-passenger for late-2017 @SpaceX launch of our Paz radar sat into polar LEO from VAFB.#SATShow
Hisdesat moving Paz sat to @SpaceX follows @IridiumComm move from Dnepr to Falcon 9 for same reason. IRDM also left, maybe lost, big deposit
@SpaceX's Shotwell on launching on time: 'We'll get there. We are spending a lot of money to get there.'#SATShow
@SpaceX Shotwell: We're investing 100s of millions in launch sites to catch up on schedule. We'll refly 6 boosters this yr.#SATShow
Shotwell said it took SpaceX roughly four months to refurbish the Falcon 9 first stage for the SES-10 mission. In the near-term, she said, that will drop below two months, and eventually down to a single day.
