The launch rescheduled for March includes York’s eight satellites and two of four SpaceX-Leidos missile-tracking satellites the companies are building for SDA’s Tracking Layer Tranche 0. Tranche 0 also includes 10 Transport Layer satellites made by Lockheed Martin and four Tracking Layer satellites made by L3Harris. Second Tranche 0 launch pushed to JuneSDA had planned its second Tranche 0 launch — with Lockheed Martin’s and L3Harris’ satellites — in March, but this mission is now being pushed to no earlier than June as SDA needs at least three months between launches to perform the necessary orbit raising maneuvers, testing and checkout, said Tournear.“Our plan now is to launch 10 satellites in March and the remaining 18 in June,” he said. Both launches will be on SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicles from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. ...After both Tranche 0 launches are completed next year, the next target is the launch of the Transport Layer Tranche 1. York Space, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are each building 42 satellites projected to launch in September 2024.“We are absolutely not going to back off our ambitious schedule targets,” Tournear said. The goal for Tranche 1 and beyond remains 30 months from contract award to launch.
NASA Wallops @NASA_WallopsLaunch update 🚀 The launch of @RocketLab's Electron rocket from Wallops is now scheduled no earlier than Dec. 15 due to range/airspace availability. NASA continues to work with the FAA in scheduling the airspace and providing final required safety documentation prior to launch.

SFN, SpaceX rocket trouble postpones Japanese moon lander launch, November 30QuoteA Falcon 9 was supposed to launch Nov. 18 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California with 52 Starlink internet satellites, but SpaceX announced on the eve of the mission that managers decided to stand down from the launch to evaluate data from a test-firing of the rocket. A new target launch date for that Starlink mission has not been announced, but two other Falcon 9 flights from California appear to have jumped ahead of it on SpaceX’s calendar, indicating it will likely not occur until January.Quote from: zubenelgenubi on 11/29/2022 12:38 amDec 15 Vand SLC-4E SWOTDec 29 Vand SLC-4E EROS C3 no. 1NET Jan?
