"The Americans expect that they will start flying on their own ships. According to NASA, with whom we were negotiating now at Baikonur, they hope to solve their main problems - both Boeing and SpaceX - before the end of this year," Rogozin told reporters at the First All-Russian Conference on Space Education "The Road to Space".“Accordingly, the crew will fly next year. We wish them success,” he added.

WFOV is manifested on a United Launch Alliance ATLAS V rocket currently targeted for launch in 2021.
The AFSPC-12 mission, set for launch in January 2020, will launch two spacecraft. One of the payloads is the Wide Field of View (WFOV) Testbed, which hosts an experimental infrared sensor tailored to detect tactical missile launches. The Atlas 5 will also launch a propulsive secondary payload with multiple unspecified experiments, according to the Air Force.

Musk said he expected both the rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft for the first crewed mission to arrive in Florida at the company's launch facilities within about 10 weeks. Within that time frame, he said testing on hardware should also be completed.If this is the case, the ball would move to NASA's court to review all of the company's paperwork and procedures and sign off on a crewed mission. One source said it was possible this could be done in time to support a flight early in the spring of 2020—but no one is offering launch guarantees at this point.
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral is scheduled to launch the second Starlinkspace-based internet constellation mission on TBD. Other upcoming launches include the next set oflaunches for the Starlink internet constellation on TBD; the launch of the JCSAT-18/Kacific-1commsat for Japan as early as November; an in-flight abort test of the Crew Dragon capsule on lateNovember or early December; the CRS-19 Dragon resupply mission to the ISS on December atthe earliest; and the third GPS III satellite for the US Air Force in January.

ICON Launch Moved Back 24 HoursJames Cawley Posted on October 9, 2019Due to weather in the area, NASA and Northrop Grumman have decided to move the Pegasus XL and ICON launch 24-hours to October 10 at 9:30 p.m., with takeoff of the Stargazer L-1011 at 8:32 p.m.NASA’s live broadcast will begin tomorrow at 9:15 p.m. on www.nasa.gov/live.The teams are not working any issues. The rocket, airplane and spacecraft are ready to launch tomorrow. As always, safety of the crew and mission success are our main focus.https://blogs.nasa.gov/icon/2019/10/09/icon-launch-moved-back-24-hours/
