IIRC, the "AV" designation derives from the Centaur. So, the AV designation would not be AV-085?This is AV-099JPSS is AV-098Crew is AV-085USSF-51 is AV-101As usual, when more than a few months out, they can change.

PSCA has issued another new Launch Closure Flyer. The start of the launch period has been moved back another two days, to Monday, September 12 (still at 22:00 UTC). The launch period still ends on September 13 (the launch window actually extends into September 14 UTC).Quote from: PSCAAlaska Aerospace will open the launch window from 12 September - 13 September 2022. Launch attempts will take place within a three and a half hour window beginning at 2:00 PM local.Launch is a complex process requiring multiple elements to work together. It’s likely the launch could be postponed, or “scrubbed”, multiple times to allow for minor rocket adjustments or adverse weather conditions (e.g., winds, heavy rain/snow). Also, the launch team must take a safety down day after three consecutive days of launch attempts.Edit: The FAA TFR for Sep 10 to Sep 13 has been withdrawn and replaced by one for Sep 12 to Sep 13.https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_2_2684.htmlQuote from: FAA2200 to 0130 UTC Daily starting September 12 and ending September 14.

Jeff Foust @jeff_foustIridium announced this morning that it will launch five of its six remaining spare satellites on a Falcon 9 rideshare mission in mid-2023 from Vandenberg. Iridium said in a recent earnings call it had plans to launch those satellites, but didn’t disclose the provider at the time.
