Telesat does have two GEO-HTS satellites under construction, Telstar-18 Vantage and Telstar-19 Vantage, from Space Systems Loral of Palo Alto, California. Those are scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2018, Goldberg said. Both are launching on SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets. Telstar-18 Vantage, which Hong Kong-based APT Satellite is co-financing in exchange for capacity on the satellite, targets the Asia Pacific; Telstar 19 Vantage covers the Americas.

If so, SES-11 may now be the first flight from pad 40 after its reactivation.

Launch of @EchoStar-105/@SES_Satellites-11 C/Ku/Ka-band sat on @SpaceX Falcon 9 now scheduled for "early 4th quarter," EchoStar says.
Launch schedule updated: SpaceX #CRS13 targeted for 12/17; SpaceX #SES11 later this year, likely 9/17 or 10/17
I don't recall seeing this Reddit post linked here yet, someone went to a conference where Spaceflight Industries was speaking and got a picture of their upcoming launch schedule. It has their currently intended dates for the Falcon 9 dedicated missions, as well as rideshares on Falcon, Soyuz, PSLV, Minotaur C, Electron, VEGA. There are also some notes on SHERPA and SpaceIL, and whether Dream Chaser could fly on a Falcon 9.

The dedicated SpaceX flights:
2017-Q4 F9 SSO-A (575km SSO 10:30 LTDN)
2018-Q4 F9 SSO-B (500km SSO 10:30 LTDN)

2020-H1 F9 SSO-D (500km SSO 10:30 LTDN)
We had heard previously that Spaceflight Industries intended to fly at least 4 Falcon 9 missions to various orbits, so the later ones in this list may or may not be under contract yet.
SpaceX filed an FCC permit application for a launch with ASDS landing from SLC-40, NET 10/14 (these permit dates are very much NET). The mission number (1373) doesn't match any of the previous permits they've received for flights from LC-39A, so I don't know if this is really a different payload or they used a different mission number to move a payload from LC-39A to SLC-40.
There are a couple permits granted for flights from LC-39A that I assume will move to SLC-40. Does anyone know if they'd need to file for new permits, or amend the existing permits, and would we actually see any amendments to the existing permits?

This thread lists the 5th Iridium Next flight as Q1 18, which makes sense to me as ~2 months from the late Nov fourth flight that Iridium has already announced.
However, the Western range schedule in the latest news article still shows an Iridium flight in December:Article for the Static Fire (and more) by Chris Gebhardt:
https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2017/08/spacex-static-fire-formosat-5-falcon-9-asds-landing/
I assume the article is just quoting the placeholder previously given, in the absence of any announcement yet of the fifth flight's schedule?
CCAFS SLC-40: Damaged by vehicle explosion (no launches until around August 2017)
Does anyone know,
Which one of Spaceflight flights is the one with Space IL, and what is the chance for that to launch on time for the Xprize?
CCAFS SLC-40: Damaged by vehicle explosion (no launches until around August 2017)
Should this be updated to 'around October 2017' or something similar perhaps even 'Next launch NET October 14, 2017', if flight permit for SES-11 from SLC-40 has been granted with that date and all earlier flight are not from that pad?
Any news on how this pad work is coming along / when it will finish? Will LC39A work start immediately after Sept 7th ish launch of X-37B or are they going to wait for fully operational status or even a launch?

Just stumbled across the Office of Safety & Mission Assurance's long-term planning schedule for Safety & Mission Success Reviews which shows tentative launch date for GRACE-FO of 2018-03-21. That date was current based on an ELV milestone schedule from August 2nd. I won't be too surprised if this date doesn't hold since it's still quite a ways out, especially since then they'd have a bunch of very high profile launches currently scheduled for that month: DM-1, TESS, GRACE-FO. TESS has a harder deadline for launch and DM-1 is vital for their crew schedules.

Also, there's only ONE Delta IV Canaveral launch currently scheduled between now and Solar Probe Plus on July 31, 2018--GPS III-1.
SPP is flying before GPS.
Sat is ready and like its sibling just waiting on Ground segment to be ready to support which is the hold up.Also, there's only ONE Delta IV Canaveral launch currently scheduled between now and Solar Probe Plus on July 31, 2018--GPS III-1.
SPP is flying before GPS.
I'm guessing this means we shouldn't count on GPS III-2 launching in May :)

You should ignore the CRS dates from those documents, because they are suuuuper fluid. Since it was published, they have likely shifted right at least 2 months.
SES switches SpaceX and Arianespace launches to mitigate cost of satellite failure
by Peter B. de Selding | Aug 28, 2017
PARIS — Satellite fleet operator SES, which this year has suffered both predictable satellite-launch delays and unpredictable satellite failures, on Aug. 28 said it would move a satellite from launch-service provider SpaceX to Arianespace to minimize revenue losses.
As a result, the SES-14 satellite will launch aboard an Ariane 5 ECA rocket early in Q1 of next year rather than a less-clear Q1 launch date offered by SpaceX. SpaceX instead will launch the heavier SES-12 satellite, up to now slated for an Ariane 5, on a Falcon 9 vehicle in Q1 2018.
[...]
State-owned telecommunications company PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom Indonesia) plans to launch its Telkom 4 satellite in a year’s time to replace the troubled Telkom 1.
“We have signed a contract to launch the Telkom 4 satellite. It will be launched from the United States in August 2018,” said PT Telkom president director Alex J. Sinaga during a press conference with Communications and Information Minister Rudiantara in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Does anyone know,
Which one of Spaceflight flights is the one with Space IL, and what is the chance for that to launch on time for the Xprize?
PT Scientists has a launch contract for late 2018 with Space X as a secondary payload on the Falcon 9 rocket. Becker said the company believes it will be the first private entity to reach the surface of the moon, suggesting that none of the Google Lunar X Prize participants are likely to meet the December 2017 deadline for the competition. (PT Scientists itself withdrew from the Google Lunar X Prize earlier this year due to the time constraints of the competition.)
The Falcon 9 will carry the team's spacecraft, Alina, to the geostationary transfer orbit, a highly elliptical Earth orbit whose highest point is 26,000 miles (42,000 kilometers). From there, Alina will continue on its own to the moon.
Kacific announces that it’s selected SpaceX to launch its Boeing-built Kacific-1 broadband satellite on a Falcon 9 in 2019.
Kacific selects SpaceX to provide launch service (http://kacific.com/kacific-selects-spacex-to-provide-launch-service/)
Kacific Broadband Satellites Group (Kacific) has selected SpaceX as the launch provider for its Kacific-1 satellite, which is being built by The Boeing Company.
Kacific-1 will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9, a two-stage orbit-class rocket designed from the ground-up for maximum reliability and reusability.
“SpaceX has a breadth of vision that appeals to us,” says Christian Patouraux, Kacific CEO. “The company is committed to changing the way people think about space and the possibilities it represents. Signing with SpaceX as our launch service provider is a major step towards delivering our own vision. We look forward to seeing Kacific-1 atop a Falcon 9 Rocket in 2019.”
“SpaceX is proud to partner with Kacific on the milestone launch of the company’s first satellite, Kacific-1.” said Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX. “We appreciate their confidence in our proven capabilities and look forward to delivering their satellite to orbit.”
In February 2017 Kacific placed an order with The Boeing Company for the Kacific-1 satellite. Based on the reliable 702 satellite platform, Kacific-1 is designed to deliver high speed broadband via 56 narrow Ka-band beams, with the most powerful signal level ever achieved in a commercial satellite in the South East Asia and Pacific regions.
About Kacific
The Kacific Broadband Satellites Group is a satellite operator developing a high-speed broadband offering for underserved, remote and rural markets with disseminated pockets of population. It addresses the gap in supply with specifically designed satellites using the latest multi-beam and high throughput space communications and ground technology transmitting over the Ka Band.
Using cost-effective technology and a lean business model Kacific aims to provide better broadband quality at significantly less than current retail prices, fostering greater internet usage and fuelling economic growth and improvements in service delivery across covered regions, with its first deployment focusing on South East Asia and the Pacific.
Kacific’s headquarters are in Singapore with main operations out of Vanuatu.

So, at least four GTOs recently added... possibly five, plus Kacific this week.
Must be making impression on the market that backlog is under control.
Aren't they additions to the manifest this year?
New orders this year?
I guess it was good planning on SpaceX's part to not have another launch planned at the Cape for a month.
It would be interesting to know what fraction of the critical path through September was allocated to: expected weather disruption (check!), Hawthorne/McGregor work (unaffected), or Cape work (likely to be delayed).I guess it was good planning on SpaceX's part to not have another launch planned at the Cape for a month.
I know you meant it as a joke, but September is the peak of the hurricane season. Maybe this factored into the mission planning.
Several articles in the Indonesian press saying they may want to move up the Telkom 4 launch a couple months in the wake of the Telkom 1 failure. After looking at the SpaceX manifest for 2018 my first thought is "good luck with that".Switching to a flight-proven booster might help with that.

This Italian-Argentine system will be complete when the two SAOCOM 1A and SAOCOM 1B satellites are launched, which will be put into orbit in June 2018 and at the beginning of 2019, respectively. Dr. Laura Frulla, principal investigator of the SAOCOM mission, stressed that "this international summit is very useful for the meeting of the institutions of the different countries".

(That would line up with Raul's interpretation of the FCC permit numbering, which I'd been a little skeptical about.)
(That would line up with Raul's interpretation of the FCC permit numbering, which I'd been a little skeptical about.)
Where is Raul's interpretation?
Part of it was in PM's we exchanged, but basically it boiled down to whether or not the F9-35 permit was ever used. Raul thought it wasn't, which would make the numbers line up better. It gets a bit confusing since SpaceX stopped publicly saying which mission number was used for a flight.
I see there are still no Vandenberg RTLS launches listed on the manifest.
Also, there are zero Falcon Heavies scheduled for Vandenberg. Did they scrap plans to make the Vandenberg pad compatible with Heavy?

I'm thinking Bangabandhu and PAZ slip to January.
Also, which is making me really confused about what SpaceX is doing with the pads right now, SpaceX filed FCC permit applications today moving TWO flights from pad 40 back to 39A. One of them appears to be Koreasat 5A, which was obvious. The other would appear to be CRS-13, which I find a bit strange.
You may want to add 2 cargo BFR in 2022 and 2 cargo + 2 crewed BFR in 2024... just to adhere to recent plan. :D
Seems unlikely, but a cubesat copassenger on CRS-14 (Overview 1A and 1B) suggested a launch date of 1/26/18.That seems to be an old date, the newest one is 2/9/18.

If you're referring to the SES launch moving to January and on a reused booster, that may also be dealing with booster production limitations.
Maybe someone is trying to slip in a launch of Starlink test sats or Google X Prize rovers.
As for the manifest, we have no info suggesting launches not on our list being inserted.

This is Off Topic for this thread, people.
We are discussing what is going to be launched when, not "why". There are plenty of threads in which to discuss that.
As for the manifest, we have no info suggesting launches not on our list being inserted.
I might have misread, but the report on Tom Ochinero's comments quoted him as stating there are 5 more launches planned for this year in addition to the Falcon Heavy Demo launch. If so, that would suggest a missing launch on our current predicted manifest for 2017.

Here is a new "FPIP chart" for SpaceX.
This time, as we are well into 4th quarter, I shifted the window to include the 1Q 2018.
So, there are many new points on the chart and a lot of guesswork.
Therefore, I'd be grateful for any corrections/suggestions before I put the chart on the first page of this thread.
Does anyone know,
Which one of Spaceflight flights is the one with Space IL, and what is the chance for that to launch on time for the Xprize?
Not seen anything since:
http://spacenews.com/spaceflight-to-launch-terra-bella-satellites-on-falcon-9-mission/
and
https://qz.com/962696/spaceil-the-israeli-team-competing-for-the-google-lunar-xprize-wont-make-it-to-the-starting-line/
Based on those, it appears to be a 'Spaceflight Industries' flight but not the Sun Synch Express flight and that won't be until 2018. So the chances look extremely slim unless the Xprize deadline is extended.
Teams at SpaceIL and IAI will now enter the assembly and integration phase. The launch is expected to take place in 2018 on a rocket from Elon Musk’s private space transport company, SpaceX

Twitter is so.... limited.
Is that deployment of 800 satellites all in 2019, or 2018 and 2019?
How could anyone build 800 satellites in two years? [Rhetorical]
Isn't Iridium bragging about their high speed production building 80 or so in two or so years? [Rhetorical]
Do we have an estimate of how many launches it will take for 800 satellites?
Edit: This is asked in the Manifest threads for the sole purpose of estimating how many launches will have to be inserted into our manifest and where on the timeline.
The other questions can probably be better discussed elsewhere.
Just as a general estimate, with 20 satellites of 500kg each per launch, 800 in 24-36 months would require 1-2 launches per month on average. For 24 months, that equates to one launch every 2.6 weeks. For 36 months, every 3.25 weeks.It will help having 2 East coast pads. If they can launch from each twice a month, that's 4 flights of capacity per month. The bigger issues will be upper stages, payload dispensers, payload processing, completed satellites, fairings, and after deployment checkout and commissioning. Getting that process and it routine down will take a while to ramp up as well.
Basically, double 2017's planned cadence without serving any additional paying customers. With the constellation requiring only LEO launches and Block 5 theoretically allowing for 10 reuses without refurb, it seems entirely possible. Pad availability becomes the major limiting factor at that point.
Speculation on internet constellation launch timings, flight rates, hardware production rates, etc. would be better in the satellite constellation threads instead of the manifest thread for now. We don't have any firm news on internet constellation launches yet.
I think current speculation is that they are co-manifested with PAZ at the end of January.Speculation on internet constellation launch timings, flight rates, hardware production rates, etc. would be better in the satellite constellation threads instead of the manifest thread for now. We don't have any firm news on internet constellation launches yet.
Would it not be consistent to add a single line for Starlink launches, with number/start date TBD? Also, they plan two test spacecraft by first quarter 2018, probably on a single launch... haven't heard that they are co-manifested, so likely separate launch depending on when license is issued.

Turkey aims to launch the Turksat 5A satellite in 2020 and the 5B in 2021. In October, Airbus (AIR.PA) submitted the best bid in a tender to build the Turkish satellites.

What payloads are actually built and ready for launch, just waiting for a rocket?
What payloads are actually built and ready for launch, just waiting for a rocket?
Iridium has more satellites built. However, they are constrained by the difficult task of replacing the old sats with the new ones and keeping their coverage going. So, I don't think they can put up a new batch any faster than every 40 or 60 days.

pad 39A on November 15 at 8:00pm EST. The launch window stretches two hours to 10:00pm EST.
The first stage of the rocket will land back at Cape Canaveral about eight minutes after liftoff. After
that, a Falcon 9 will launch the next Dragon resupply mission to the International Space Station,
CRS-13, currently planned from pad 40, on December 4 at the earliest, at 2:52pm EST. The launch
window will be instantaneous. The launch time gets approx. 22-26 minutes earlier each day. The first
stage of the rocket will land back at Cape Canaveral around eight minutes after liftoff. This could be
followed by the maiden flight of the Falcon 9 Heavy, from pad 39A, and its twin booster landings back
at the Cape, as early as the very end of December or early January TBD. Then, a Falcon 9 is slated
to launch the SES-16/GovSat-1 communications satellite, from pad 40, on mid-January TBA.

How reliable are the sources for that site? Launching just once every month from the Cape is too slow for SpaceX, maybe the list just contains a subset of launches for which better info is available.

He does some of the official photography for SpaceX, he's generally a good source for near-term schedule information.
There are going to be months where SpaceX only launches once from the East Coast, especially when they're launching from the West Coast that month. The flight rate isn't that high yet. Even if they do launch 30 times next year that wouldn't be twice from the Cape every month.
Has the payload left SSL in Palo Alto and been delivered to SpaceX operations at Cape Canaveral for pre-launch processing? (I know our NSF contributors are usually very quick to report such things, if they are free to do so.)
It takes a finite amount of time to process the payloads for launch. What is the average processing time for a geo-comm payload, from delivery to stacking on the launch vehicle?
If that process has not yet started, then perhaps the launch must be delayed into early 2018?
(The focus here on NSF is on the LV, particularly so for Falcon 9--1st stage watches, etc.)
In the Zuma static fire article that Chris G. wrote today he lists the expected flights for the rest of the year, and Hispasat isn't on there. It seems likely to slip into 2018.
In a June FCC filing Hispasat said "launch and place in operation scheduled for May 2018". There is typically some gap between launch and placing in operation, so that's a bit vague. Then in an August press release for another mission the manufacturer said it would be launching later this year. As noted in the Zuma static fire article, it doesn't seem to actually be on the manifest for 2017. I'm going with first half of 2018 for now, and will refine the estimated date if we get any more news on the mission.

I tend not to look at the FAA site nearly as often as I look at the FCC site, but SpaceX should be needing at least 8 new or modified FAA launch licenses through next April/May (including Zuma which apparently won't ever be publicly available on their site, just like Formosat 5.) Some to watch out for as their flights approach would be FH Demo, GTO flights from SLC-40, PAZ, TESS, GRACE-FO, DM-1, SSO-A.
“We will increase our cadence next year about 50 percent,” Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX president and COO, told SpaceNews in an interview last week. “We’ll fly more next year than this year, knock on wood, and I think we will probably level out at about that rate, 30 to 40 per year.”
It's really unlikely they fly more than about 30 next year, unless there are more mystery payloads. 30 should catch them up on their manifest.

The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM), is on its way to the US to be prepared for launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station (ISS).
The launch is scheduled for Tuesday, 13 March 2018, and ASIM is planned for launch on the SpaceX Falcon 9 launcher.

SpaceX returns to SLC-40 for the next mission - Falcon 9 launch with CRS-13 Dragon. Static Fire is currently waiting on a firm date (Wednesday no longer the target). Launch date now has a NASA planning date of December 8, but don't go booking flights until this all firms up.
... Only two weeks before its completion, $20 million are needed by the end of the year to prevent the project’s termination. This would result in the cancellation of the launch planned for 2018 ...
I've just noticed that CRS-14 is listed on the manifest as reusing a booster.If you read the details on what NASA did for CRS-13 reuse permission, they're just reviewing SpaceX work. So as long as SpaceX is just as careful, there's no reasonable expectation NASA will say no. Its NASA folks justifying their jobs and covering their rears.
Is that an assumption or have I missed an announcement? I thought the CRS-13 statement on reuse said NASA would look at it on a case-by-case basis for each launch and thus, although perhaps likely, it's not yet official whether CRS-14 would reuse?

The key is CRS-13/Govsat-1 and Iridium launches going without a hitch. That will add up to 6 (hoperfully successful) relaunches.

Don’t forget FH Demo adding another 2 flight-proven stages being reflown. ;)
I believe there are 1 or 2 other flight-proven cores without a mission, so at this point we are almost running out of flight-proven stages.
This will change with Block 5 being able to refly 10 times without serious refurb.
Update re SpaceIL (putting it here since I don't see a thread dedicated to this and it's potentially on the SpaceX manifest somewhere)Quote...

SpaceIL making final fundraising push for lunar lander mission
by Jeff Foust — December 14, 2017
WASHINGTON — SpaceIL, the Israeli team in the Google Lunar X Prize competition, says it needs to raise $7.5 million in less than a week in order to complete its lander and retain its launch contract.

Still not revealing which SpaceX launch they are aiming for and admit it's very tight - even with funding - to get all the required testing done in time to meet Xprize deadline of end of March 2018.
...
Saying it's a supersync GTO comsat launch is a lot more information than we had before, although not enough to really figure out which flight.
...
A rarity... Telkom's CEO said on Thursday that Telkom 4 is to be launched in May 2018, vs. the original August 2018 NET as of several months ago. Google Translate is clearly struggling, but the reason provided for the movement was "faster manufacturing process." Unclear if that refers to SpaceX or Telkom, but it could be possible that Telkom 4 has moved to a flight-proven booster to get an earlier launch date, Iridium-4 is (sort of) a precedent for that.

Just some end of the year observations. If the Iridium flight launches on Friday and the first stage is recovered that will be 18 flights this year. 5 out of the 18 (28%) will have been with reused first stages. The first stage flew 2 times in the same year for 4 out of the 5 reused flights. They successfully recovered 15 out of 18 (83%) first stages.

Welcome, SpaceGoo!
I would add, barring a problem on the upcoming Iridium flight, they successfully recovered all the first stages they intended to recover.
Korea Aerospace Research Institute has selected SpaceX (USA) as a launching service for the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), which will be launched in 2020
...
The launch will be the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida, USA.
Antexis of India participated in the open bidding for the trial lunar launch service.
The company chose Space X as the preferred bidder through the evaluation and negotiated the final contract on the 15th.
...
The Korean lunar orbit line is 550kg.

That would put Iridium Next 5 in mid-February if evenly spaced between 4 and 6.

Can we interpret from the second tweet that FH is to launch before Zuma? Does that mean an FH launch before January 4, or that Zuma has slipped?
The gaps might not be 60 days around Iridium-6, there are fewer sats to deal with. I wouldn't expect Iridium-5 before a few weeks into February, they've never had to turn around that pad in less than a month before. Now I'm wondering about SSO-A, would be surprised if that doesn't slip to May. Also really no chance of Iridium finishing deployment by end of June.

I thought the pacing items was commissioning the in orbit satellites, meaning not before the previous launches satellites are commissioned.

So a little bit of news... I am now part owner of the first company ever to build a commercial space telescope satellite, and this thing can be used by anyone! You can use it for deep space astrophotography, land surveys of the Earth, or even Hyperspectral images of your farmland. We have two slots secured on Space X Falcon 9 rockets in 2019 and 2020 for our first launches! Huge thanks to SpaceFab.US for making me a part of the adventure!https://www.instagram.com/p/BdB6XReFIsj/?taken-by=gibsonpics
SpaceFab.US apparently has two Waypoint space telescopes manifested as copassengers on SpaceX launches in 2019 and 2020.QuoteSo a little bit of news...

(once upon a time there was a chart showing how accurate SpaceX NET dates hold up from x days out, anyone remember where that was?)
It was in the SpaceX Scrubs thread, the one which eventually inspired the most excellent SpaceX Launch Log. Put together by saliva_sweet. I kind of doubt that the graph has been kept up to date all this time, but maybe:

Unfortunately I stopped updating the data during the post-CRS-7 hiatus :( I guess the table could be rebuilt from Salo's launch log, but it's a ton of work at this point.
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
This STA uses information from previous application 1643-EX-ST-2017, and covers the experimental first-stage recovery operation following a Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral. This request for authority is limited to two functions: 1) pre-launch checkout test of the command uplink from an onshore station at CCAFS (less than five minutes in duration), and 2) command of landed stage from recovery boat (less than five minutes in duration). All operations are pre-coordinated with the launch Range. Launch vehicle flight communications for this mission are covered by a separate STA.
Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation: Experimental first-stage recovery operation for Falcon 9 launch of SpaceX Mission 1393.

Hmm.. weird, I didn't see that. Either the onshore transmitter is magic and works that far away or its a misprint in the application (??). Could it just be an expendable launch and therefore no drone ship?
On the "Autonomous Landing and Navigation Module" are the two rovers.
The schedule is tight. ALINA is due to launch the two lunar vehicles from Cape Canaveral in 2019 into orbit. A commercial rocket Falcon 9 from Elon Musks company SpaceX is used. It takes about five days to reach the moon for almost 400,000 kilometers. Then she lands automatically, with a safe distance to the Apollo 17 landing site. The goal: The Rover to return to the landing site of the last manned mission of 45 years ago. There, they are to conduct a series of experiments commissioned by NASA and several European universities.
Will report next Iridium launch date soon. I CAN report that Iridium 5 will be directed to our orbital Plane #1 - all 10 will go into service there. It will also be a morning launch - probably a little before 8am local...
QuoteNASA’s Commercial Crew Program Target Test Flight Dates
The next generation of American spacecraft and rockets that will launch astronauts to the International Space Station are nearing the final stages of development and evaluation. NASA’s Commercial Crew Program will return human spaceflight launches to U.S. soil, providing reliable and cost-effective access to low-Earth orbit on systems that meet our safety and mission requirements. To meet NASA’s requirements, the commercial providers must demonstrate that their systems are ready to begin regular flights to the space station. Two of those demonstrations are uncrewed flight tests, known as Orbital Flight Test for Boeing, and Demonstration Mission 1 for SpaceX. After the uncrewed flight tests, both companies will execute a flight test with crew prior to being certified by NASA for crew rotation missions. The following schedule reflects the most recent publicly releasable dates for both providers.
Targeted Test Flight Dates:
Boeing Orbital Flight Test (uncrewed): August 2018
Boeing Crew Flight Test (crewed): November 2018
SpaceX Demonstration Mission 1 (uncrewed): August 2018
SpaceX Demonstration Mission 2 (crewed): December 2018

Looking at the manifest, there's basically no chance of TESS, Bangabandhu-1, and CRS-14 all launching on the dates we currently have. Expect further changes.
A license for launch comms was just granted, NET March 5. (Mission 1382)
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=81937&RequestTimeout=1000
A license for East coast booster recovery was also granted today, oddly NET February 15. (Mission 1393)
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=81937&RequestTimeout=1000
Doubt that's Hispasat, and 90% sure that GovSat-1 is Mission 1389 and PAZ is Mission 1400 (https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=81531&RequestTimeout=1000). Still, 1389 has a license for booster recovery (https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=81937&RequestTimeout=1000), which doesn't fit with the that core being expended after its second flight.
Corrections/refutations/debates welcome!
1382 is CRS-14
1393 would fit the dates for Hispasat. Why does that have booster recovery permits? Hell if I know.
1389 should be GovSat-1
PAZ should be 1400
Maybe the booster recovery permits just won't be used? Weren't sure yet what the plan would be so they just went ahead and filed the paperwork?

heheh, same ;D I've begun to wonder if, realistically, there is any downside to simply filing for a very liberal number of launch/landing licenses, nearly irregardless of planned orbit or actual manifest pressures. It seems that they can be reasonably easily (at least more easily than a new license) swapped about, and the lead time to getting those grants is clearly a bit unwieldy at SpaceX's anticipated launch cadences, and also seems almost guaranteed that it is 100x better to have a license and not need it than the opposite.
So, probably pretty likely as you said that they are just hedging their bets in case manifest delays or shuffling are necessary. Anyways, I'd concur with your core assignments. My first bet for 1393 was Hispasat, as well, was just thrown off by the recovery license. Who knows :D

We don't yet know whether Hispasat is using a new or reused core, but we do know that the first Block 5 has been built and - according to one rumour - is already at 39A's HIF. It could be a recovery if this is the first Block 5, and it jumps the queue.
There are two more Block 4s left, and I've seen reports that NASA don't want TESS to be on the first Block 5. If Hispasat and TESS used the last two Block 4s, the Block 5 would be used for Bangabandhu-1. That's only 3500 kg. It seems a bit of a waste to expend a Block 4 which might have a chance of a reuse. (Thaicom 8 was 3100kg to GTO, and that booster, B1023, is now one of the side cores for FH Demo.)
This is not the thread for random rumors. Everything I've seen points to Hispasat being on a Block 4. There is no indication a Block 5 would be ready for that flight. Even if there were, it's probably still expendable at that payload mass.
QuoteNext Falcon 9 launch is set to be expendable. Drone ship's next job will be to catch the center core of the Falcon Heavy.

Launch date, per the current plan:
NET Feb 6th with backup on the 7th.
Launch window each day is 13:30-16:30 EST.
Apologies if this has been discussed previously. I just popped in to see the expected launches for the next month or so, and noticed the currently projected gap after the third February launch and before the first March launch.
Is there really expected to be in excess of a 1 month gap between Hispasat on 15 Feb, and the next launch, which appears to be Iridium on 18 March?
Or are there potential launches that can be shifted into that slot should all go according to plan?
I’m really sorry to be stupid but... If Hispasat is going to launch on 15 Feb, does anyone have an estimate of launch time. Since I’m headed to Daytona for speed week, I’d love to get to see the launch instead of going to Thursday night’s races.

I wouldn't plan on Feb 15 at this point. I believe that is a public placeholder for "mid-February" at this point in time, we haven't been given a more specific date yet.

The relative lack of launches in 2019 is concerning for spacex's long term ability to fund BFR. Seems like once they are through this year they have little left to do.

I think it's too early, we know very little about Starlink at this point.
Heck, we don't even know where they will launch from, and on which vehicle. F9? FH? BFR? Cape? Vandy?

How can an expendable return (Govsat) be unsuccessful? ???They were testing a landing burn without having anything to actually land on. It didn't sink and appeared to have remained intact. Or at least it didn't sink straight away. There's a speculative recovery thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/7uw4ly/b01322_the_falcon_that_could_recovery_thread/
By contrast, the FH Centre Core is reported to have broken up on impact with the ocean, after missing the drone ship, due to two engines not igniting for the landing burn (Elon Musk in the post-launch press conference).

When I asked Elon at the post-FH demo press conference which FH mission was next, Arabsat or STP-2, he nodded to Arabsat. So I think that should go back before STP-2 on the top post.

The FH order has been ambiguous for a while. We'll get more information eventually. There will probably be at least 10 F9 flights before the next FH.I've got tickets to the STP-2 launch, courtesy of a long-ago Kickstarter by the planetary society. So I'm very interested in the actual order!

If you added up every real (actually contracted) payload in the world that doesn't have an announced ride, and then added in all the government birds up for bid right now (which can't all go to SpaceX), you still wouldn't get anywhere near that number. And these are supposed to be things actually on the manifest already. I don't see any way to get there without including Starlink flights.

I think he just divided the $12 Billion by SpaceX's launch prices. Adjusting for Dragon, NSS, FH, etc. raises the average price of their manifest well above the 62M/launch for an F9 and makes >100 launches a reasonable estimate of their total manifest. Especially if they also combine that with the knowledge that SpaceX will be launching their own sats for the constellation. etc.

Doing the math, an assumption of $100M/launch is quite high, especially after Block 5 is on the scene and a majority of launches are reused, selling for something like 50-60% of that figure. At <$100M, that's >120 launches... makes the problem worse, not better.
Has anyone calculated the % of commercial launches available that SpaceX is winning per year?
I think that would be a very telling number over a number of years.
If they can fly safely and get to 24+ launches a year they should win most everything that's commercially bid.
I believe it's been stated they would max out at about 40 upper stages a year. I think that would be the upper limit for a long time.

QuoteFor @IridiumComm, if @SpaceX launches today OK as planned, the 5th IRDM 10-sat Falcon 9 launch should occur on March 29. Then 6th F9 launch end-April.

SpaceX was granted two licenses today, one for a launch/landing (mentions recovery boat?) from "Cape Canaveral," NET 04/02/18.
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=82665
The other is a launch license for Mission 1418 from LC-40, NET 03/30/18.
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=82662
Even assuming the license windows to be less than deadly accurate, that's an insane schedule for LC-40 alone. Probably just stale dates + vagueness (maybe even a 39A shakedown launch before TESS?), I simply can't see SpaceX actually doing two launches at the same pad in just four days. Only confusing because those dates match up exactly with the current NETs for CRS-14 and Bangabandhu...
Edit: Oh god, doesn't even take into account Iridium-5, now NET 03/29/30... three launches in five days would be exciting and impressive as hell, but seems like an insanely aggressive - if not impossible - schedule ;D
I think those two licenses are for the same flight (probably Bangabandhu-1). The schedule at SLC-40 will be very interesting, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bangabandhu-1 slips behind the NASA launches just because they have more constraints on their launch dates.
The first X in the landings column in the top post should be gray, not orange. It is not a failure when there was no attempt.Special meaning... it was a "failure to expend" in that the core didn't self destruct as planned, and had to be cleaned up later. Go back a few pages in this and the companion format discussion thread, there was a pretty thorough discussion of this. Granted some of it is a bit of geek humor but the marking fits.
Also: Are they really going to have a full month gap after the next launch? (Man we've been spoiled lately when I consider that a long gab, but still.)

So this https://www.reuters.com/article/us-telecoms-mobileworld-moon/moon-to-get-first-mobile-phone-network-idUSKCN1GB27A got posted over on r/spacex earlier today and looks like a new mission for 2019?
A lot of changes recently, here is an updated FPIP.
There are no launches scheduled for 39A in March-April, obviously some construction is going on there.
So, is there any clue on when the first Falcon from 39A will fly?
Will be quite helpfull for this chart ;)

Should be on a rideshare, maybe one of the Spaceflight GTO missions
I actually think Bangabandhu-1 will launch from LC-39A instead of SLC-40 (based on the fact that I think "Mission 1380" from FCC filings is Bang-1 and not TESS). IMO, that it will likely be the first Block 5 booster launch increases this likelihood.
So, the pad stand-down for 39A you're speculating on may not be quite as long as you've currently got it. But, the above is, so far, unconfirmed sleuthing/speculation on my part as well. YMMV.
"Pad work required for block 5" is total speculation, of course
SpaceX open media accreditation for the Falcon 9 Bangabandhu Satellite-1 launch in April... and the launch is from KSC's 39A, which is returning to Falcon 9 duty following the Falcon Heavy launch.
HAWTHORNE, Calif. – Mar. 1, 2018. Media accreditation is now open for SpaceX's Bangabandhu Satellite-1 mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch is targeted for no earlier than April.
A Falcon 9 rocket will deliver Bangabandhu Satellite-1 to a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO).
- Bangabadhu from LC39A --> NET April (1st?)
- CRS-14 from SLC40 --> NET April 2nd
- Bangabadhu from LC39A --> NET April (1st?)
- CRS-14 from SLC40 --> NET April 2nd
Maybe an opportunity for the range to do 2 in 24, possibly made easier by both being F9?
There is no indication Bangabandhu-1 is flying on April 1.

LOS ANGELES AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --
The Air Force announced today the award of two Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) launch service contracts. Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) has been awarded a $290,594,130 firm-fixed-price contract, for launch services to deliver three GPS III missions (1 base and 2 options) to the intended orbit. United Launch Alliance (ULA) has been awarded a $351,839,510 firm-fixed-price contract, for launch services to deliver Air Force Space Command (AFSPC)-8 and AFSPC-12 satellites to the intended orbit. Both contracts provide the Government with a total launch solution for these missions, which includes launch vehicle production, mission integration, launch operations, and spaceflight certification. These missions are planned to be launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station or Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
This is the fourth competition under the current Phase 1A procurement strategy. These launch service contract awards strike a balance between meeting operational needs and lowering launch costs through reintroducing competition for National Security Space missions.
“The competitive award of these two EELV launch service contracts directly supports Space and Missile Systems Center’s (SMC’s) mission of delivering resilient and affordable space capabilities to our Nation while maintaining assured access to space,” said Lt Gen John F. Thompson, Air Force Program Executive Officer for Space and SMC commander.
The three GPS III missions will deliver sustained, reliable GPS capabilities to America’s warfighters, our allies, and civil users. GPS provides positioning, navigation, and timing service to civil and military users worldwide. The GPS III missions are planned to launch between late 2019 and 2020.
The AFSPC-8 mission comprises two identical Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites, known as GSSAP 5 & 6. AFSPC-8 is planned to launch in 2020 into a geosynchronous orbit.
The AFSPC-12 mission comprises a forward space vehicle (SV) and an aft SV. The forward SV is known as the Wide Field of View (WFOV) Testbed and the aft SV is a propulsive Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) that hosts auxiliary payloads. AFSPC-12 is planned to launch in 2020 into a geosynchronous orbit.
The Air Force Space Command's Space and Missile Systems Center, located at the Los Angeles Air Force Base, California, is the U.S. Air Force's center of excellence for acquiring and developing military space systems. Its portfolio includes the Global Positioning System, military satellite communications, defense meteorological satellites, space launch and range systems, satellite control networks, space-based infrared systems, and space situational awareness capabilities.

Keret said Amos-17, a replacement for Amos-5, remains on track for a 2019 SpaceX launch. Spacecom is using money paid toward the launch of Amos-6 to launch Amos-17, and intends to launch Amos-8 with SpaceX as well.
So Bangabandhu/Block 5 is moving to the right from April 5th?
What’s the exact new date they’re working toward? I see it’s after TESS...one suggestion to improve the SX “FPIP” would be to put in little date hashmarks on the bottom.

one suggestion to improve the SX “FPIP” would be to put in little date hashmarks on the bottom.- sorry, I can't do this because most of the blue marks DO NOT have actual DATE.
Here is updated "FPIP-chart" - in slightly modified format:
Pale-green marks show launches which are listed in green dash frames.
For those satellites we know just the fact they are scheduled for second half 2018.
Therefore these marks are not labelled and they are at arbitrary-even spacing.
As more information on particular flight become available - the mark will change color and get label :)

I wonder if we'll see Block 5 "RTLS" at Vandenberg being a recovery to an ASDS 20-30 miles offshore?Little point in that. The ASDS recovery process would take just as long to get it back to their port facility in LA. Now if they could dock the ASDS in Vandenberg, it might make sense, but I doubt the infrastructure is there to handle the stage.

SpaceX's Shotwell: Expect a 'couple more' Falcon Heavy launches this year
EMRE KELLY | FLORIDA TODAY Updated 3 hours ago
And one more chart - launch cadence comparison.
... I wonder if Block 5 and the demands of Starlink will push it much higher?
The 30-40 launches per year stated by GS indicates/allows another 50% increase next year.
I also expect the Starlink launches to start next year, but not with test satellites; early generation satellites will be less capable, but getting started on working out the complexities of coordinated constellation operations should push the first batch out asap... from existing Seattle facilities, in a mostly hand-assembled production line.
The following year, 2020, should see a significant bump due to these deployments, but don't think we'll have much information or lead time in advance of actual launches.
I am fairly sure we will see some Starlink test flights in 2019 if only to test the full scale dispenser.

Looking at the current manifest, there are not any obvious good candidates for RTLS missions from Vandenberg. Iridium seems to be sticking to expendable shots. And supposedly there are prohibitions until June or July on account of disturbances to seals.

You didn't restart this diversion Lar, but isn't this thread about the schedule of specific missions, rather than general discussions of launch cadence and hypothetical missions?
The policy was to put missions on this Manifest when they are announced, either by a satellite provider or SpaceX, such as when Musk announced the beyond-the-moon tourist flight and the Red Dragon landings.
In accordance with this criterion, Starlink, for one, is not on the manifest, but "Mars" in 2022 is.
There are threads specifically for launch cadence and backlog.
Elon: On track to double launch rate this year from last year.
If all goes to plan this year, SpaceX will launch more missions than any other country this year.
[...]

Hmm, double would be 36 and China may do 40 launches this year. So is Elon ‘rounding up’ or are we missing some launches on the manifest? The former seems more likely to me.

And this is what's left out of the 24x landed stages, yes? I've been trying to get my head round all the quantities of this and that.
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral will launch the SES-12 communication satellite
on end of May TBD at the earliest at about 12:29am EDT. The launch window stretches to about
1:27am EDT. The next launch after that is TBD: A Falcon 9 will launch the Telstar 19 communication
satellite, from pad 40, on late June at the earliest. A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the next
Dragon resupply mission to the ISS on June 28 at the earliest, at 6:03am EDT if that day. Sunrise
is 6:27am EDT. The launch window is instantaneous. The launch time gets 22-26 minutes earlier per

Telkom 4 communication satellite from pad 40 for Indonesia on late July TBD. And a Falcon 9 will
launch the Es'hail-2 communication satellite in mid-August TBD
Here is the clarification of that 300 launches quote:QuoteSpaceX will prob build 30 to 40 rocket cores for ~300 missions over 5 years. Then BFR takes over & Falcon retires. Goal of BFR is to enable anyone to move to moon, Mars & eventually outer planets.https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/995462943079723008
Lots of wiggle room there for BFR arriving a bit late -- something like a factor of 10 more flights available from 'the fleet' than required. 300 flights in five years... hhhmmmmmm. Must include the constellation finally.
Is this sufficient documentation to begin listing constellation flights?
Here is an updated FPIP.
Anyone else expect a schedule lag as the Block 4's are consumed and the Block 5's ramp up?
I think they'll launch more this year than last year, but that they could have a slow down in Jul, Aug, Sep as the Block 5's fly and make their second and third flights as they thoroughly learn how to fly their new toys.
I'm struck by the lack of commercial GTO satellites expected to fly in the last quarter of the year.
Finally realistic launch numbers: 24-28 this year, ~18 in 2019. ~14 first stages built this year, ~30 second stages.
ICEYE is aiming for a total of 9 upcoming satellite launches by the end of 2019 and is actively seeking out launch operators to continue the company’s rapid acceleration towards the future.One prototype (#2) is co-manifested on F-9. Others: #1 launched on PSLV. #3 scheduled for Electron.

This is odd. If it is launching from the Cape then it's either the GTO rideshare that Spaceflight has been extremely quiet about (I've been assuming they would start talking about it after the endlessly slipping SSO-A finally launches) or some other GTO mission like PSN VI (which was rumored to have a US government rideshare companion).
SpaceIL has purchased launch services from Spaceflight Industries; an American space company who recently purchased a SpaceX Falcon 9 launcher and will manifest SpaceIL’s spacecraft as a co-lead spot, which will sit in a designated capsule inside the launcher, among a cluster of secondary payloads.

Any idea why SpaceX has apparently mostly cleared the decks for September and October?
No launches from Florida from August 24 until November.
Iridium-8 is December.
9 missions between November and December.
Seems really odd.

Has there been any indication of initial Starlink deployment? Otherwise they are still holding their scheduled 24 launches for this year. Remember that Es'hail 2 and DM-1 were not moved due to range or rocket availability.

Seems really odd.

Manifest updates on the subreddit now list:
That seems to match most of our current information. Some of those haven't officially slipped to December yet but it's the most reasonable guess right now. I'll need to make a pass over our manifest soon and tweak some dates.
There aren't any obvious payloads to launch from the East Coast after Telstar 18V. I think they may actually be caught up on launches from the Cape after this month. On the West Coast I think they'll probably end the year a little behind (maybe only one payload?). It doesn't seem likely that they'll launch more than 3 from Vandenberg the rest of this year.
There is great uncertainty in several of the launches from Florida the rest of the year (GPS, DM-1, STP-2). Wouldn't be surprised if one or more of those slipped a bit.

The surprise will be how far STP-2 slides right, past the end of the year, to March.
Considering DM-1 is supposed to be in December, DM-2 in April, with the Launch Abort test between them, that still seems wedged in, but its what I was told.
So you say(Snip)

It is more of a strong assumption.
It is either 2019 with prior mission going right towards end of 2018, or it has to jump left in between DM-1 and IFA, with no hardware seen yet...
All focus seems on DM-1, IFA and DM-2 now. Which flow is much more important then STP-2...
Anyway, assumption.

IFA is around March now. (I also think Iridium 8 should be towards the end of the year, RCM and Sarah-1 probably don't launch this year.)

Payload Vehicle engineer for Telstar 18 on Reddit says there is a 5-10 day delay for the launch, may not be in August. Any confirmation for this?

Sounds like it's on the rocket side.
:(
A 24 day gap is no way to hit a 30 launch per year pace, especially when it's followed by a 30 day gap.
SpaceX may be remedying Shotwell's forecasted slowdown in 2019 by having a bunch slip in from 2018.
edit: My list now has 35 launches in 2019. We shall see.

Cross posting from another thread. Manifest on this thread has 14 payloads for 2019. Even if the rest of this years manifest gets delayed until 2019 thats only 26 payloads.... Where are you getting 35?
Big slip. (Telstar 18 Vantage)Now NET September 9 on the Eastern Range (via L2).

As the 3rd quarter is almost over, would it make sense to extend the chart into 2019 by now? (Especially since a number of launches previously on the chart have slipped there?)
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral is on November TBD at the earliest.
Upcoming launches include the second flight of the Falcon Heavy from pad 39A carrying the Arabsat
6A communication satellite as early as November. A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the next Dragon
resupply mission to the ISS, CRS-16, on November 27 at the earliest, in the afternoon EST if that
day. And a Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the first Block III GPS satellite on December 15 at the
earliest, likely in the morning EST. Other upcoming launches include a Falcon 9 with the first Crew
Dragon capsule on an uncrewed demonstration mission, DM-1 to the ISS, from pad 39A on December
at the earliest. And a Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the Es'Hail-2 communication satellite for Qatar
as early as late 2018 or early 2019.

include a Falcon 9 with the Es'Hail-2 communication satellite for Qatar. A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will
launch the next Dragon resupply mission to the ISS, CRS-16, on November 27 at 4:19pm EST. The
first stage will land back at Cape Canaveral about eight minutes after launch. The launch time gets
22-25 minutes earlier each day. A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the first Block III GPS satellite on
December 15, likely at 9:08am EST. And a Falcon 9 will launch from pad 39A with the first Crew
Dragon capsule on an uncrewed demonstration mission, DM-1 to the ISS, on December at the
earliest, in the middle of the night if that time period. The launch time gets 22-25 minutes earlier each
day.
Nothing definitive, but in the TED talk announcing 'Methane Sat', images of F9's launching were pretty prominent. Current target is NET late 2020.

Viasat is preparing a global broadband systems comprising three geostationary satellites. Arianespace and ULA both have launch contracts, though Viasat has not said which launch provider will go first. Viasat has yet to sign a launch contract for the third satellite.
In Viasat’s statement, the company said it remains in discussion with Arianespace and SpaceX for that mission.
However, Koenigsmann said after the talk that a Block 5 booster could make its third flight later this year, possibly on the SSO-A mission, a “dedicated rideshare” mission of dozens of smallsats planned for November from Vandenberg.
We have about a hundred missions on the manifest, and that represents a value of about twelve billion dollars

Just got news that RCM mission has now been officially delayed to February.
There's also a new blog post on the Canadian Space Agency website about the mission status:

edit/gongora: linked blog has "Launch window: Week of February 18, 2019"
I'm not sure I understand what is behind this "giving up slot" discussion.
Is something wrong with this hypothetical launch sequence from VAFB? -

Nov 29, 2018 ... NROL-71: KH-11 17 (Crystal 17, Block 5 #1)

Oops :)
Thanks for the update, but some remarks:
- Telstar-18 label is missing
- PSN-6 remark at bottom is redundant now
- SAOCOM-1B maybe worth a block in june instead of remark at top?
- AMOS-17 maybe also a block in june?
Thanks, this chart is always great. I was wondering if you wanted to indicate the in-flight abort test; although it doesn't get anything to orbit, it's a launch in every other way.
SpacePharma plans to try again with the Falcon in early 2019, to be followed by another minilab launch with Italy’s Areianspace.
CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat Inc., (Nasdaq: VSAT), a global communications company, announced today it selected SpaceX to launch one of its ViaSat-3 satellite missions. The Viasat mission is scheduled to launch in the 2020 - 2022 timeframe from the Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA'sKennedy Space Center in Florida. This mission will launch aboard a Falcon Heavy.
Viasat chose the SpaceX Falcon Heavy for its ability to fly a near direct-injection mission, inserting a ViaSat-3 satellite extremely close to geostationary orbit—as a result, the spacecraft can begin in-orbit testing (IOT) quickly after launch, rather than spending weeks or months performing orbit raising maneuvers. This is expected to enable Viasat to turn on its ultra-high-speed broadband service much quicker after launch than is possible with other launch vehicles.
"Viasat sought a ViaSat-3 launch partner that understood our unique mission requirements: to safely and quickly bring a ViaSat-3 spacecraft into orbit, to further our goal of delivering terabits of data from space to meet growing global broadband demand," said Dave Ryan, president, Space Systems at Viasat. "We selected SpaceX as they continue to demonstrate their commitment to advancing space technologies. Their proven technology is both powerful and efficient enough to thrust a ViaSat-3 spacecraft close to geostationary orbit."
"There are exciting opportunities for Falcon Heavy in the market, particularly for customers like Viasat that need direct-injection extremely close to geostationary orbit," said SpaceX President and Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell. "We look forward to delivering ViaSat-3 to orbit and helping bring Viasat's latest technology into service."
The ViaSat-3 class of Ka-band satellites is expected to provide vastly superior capabilities in terms of service speed and flexibility for a satellite platform. The first two satellites will focus on the Americas and on Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), respectively, with the third satellite planned for the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, completing Viasat's global service coverage. Each ViaSat-3 class satellite is expected to deliver more than 1-Terabit per second of network capacity, and to leverage high levels of flexibility to dynamically direct capacity to where customers are located.
Selection of Falcon Heavy for one of the ViaSat-3 launches is the next step in implementing Viasat's integrated launch strategy for its ViaSat-3 satellite program, which is designed to ensure the on-time launch of its spacecraft through launch vehicle diversity and a systemic, integrated approach to launch planning. Viasat will announce specific ViaSat-3 mission assignments for each of its contracted launch vehicles at a later date.

Just a note that if #dearMoon mission is NET 2023, I really don't think SpaceX would fly to mars before that milestone. So i think Mars BFR mission should therefore be NET 2024 (although I agree it's not really based on solid information and any date will be very speculative at this stage anyway).

You are thinking of the wrong milestone. The #dearmoon BFS flight will fly after unmanned BFS test flights in LEO and cis-lunar space. If all goes well with the test flights then the #dearmoon flight get the go ahead to launch.
The Mars bound BFS flights are not hinter by the requirement for a working ECLSS for the duration of the mission. In theory could be given the go ahead for the flights after a BFS gets beyond LEO in a test flight.

I'd bet on the latter. The underlying shift in mood there though is that they are only "going to try" to break the record. It's a possibility, not a given, in their eyes. And while launch cadence is no doubt important to SpaceX, I would guess that the calendar-year launch record isn't a big deal. Also pretty soon they might want to talk about orbited tonnage (maybe LEO-equivalent tons?) rather than launch count, to account for Spaceship capabilities.QuoteJonathan Hofeller of SpaceX on a #smallsat2019 launch panel: this year we’re going to try and break last year’s record of 21 launches.

RELEASE C19-009
NASA Awards Launch Services Contract for Asteroid Redirect Test Mission
NASA has selected SpaceX in Hawthorne, California, to provide launch services for the agency’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, the first-ever mission to demonstrate the capability to deflect an asteroid by colliding a spacecraft with it at high speed – a technique known as a kinetic impactor.
The total cost for NASA to launch DART is approximately $69 million, which includes the launch service and other mission related costs.
The DART mission currently is targeted to launch in June 2021 on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. By using solar electric propulsion, DART will intercept the asteroid Didymos’ small moon in October 2022, when the asteroid will be within 11 million kilometers of Earth.
NASA’s Launch Services Program at Kennedy Space Center in Florida will manage the SpaceX launch service. The DART Project office is located at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, and is managed by the Planetary Missions Program Office at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office in Washington.

SpaceX CRS-17 Launch Now Scheduled for April 30
Sarah Loff Posted on April 19, 2019
A SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft is now scheduled to launch at 4:22 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, April 30, on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. This will be SpaceX’s 17th Commercial Resupply Services contract mission to the International Space Station for NASA.
SpaceX will take advantage of the additional time to perform a static fire test and pre-flight checkouts. Falcon 9 and Dragon are on track to be flight ready for an earlier launch attempt, however, April 30 is the most viable date for both NASA and SpaceX due to station and orbital mechanics constraints.
NASA will host a media teleconference at 11 a.m. Monday, April 22, to discuss select science investigations the Dragon will deliver to the astronauts living and working aboard the orbiting laboratory. NASA will stream audio from the discussion at http://www.nasa.gov/live.
https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/2019/04/19/spacex-crs-17-launch-now-scheduled-for-april-30/
“In 2017 we launched 18 times, in 2018 we launched 21 times,” Shotwell said. “This year, depending on customer readiness, we could launch between 18 and 21 times. Next year, 16-20 launches in the manifest. We’ve signed 22 deals since this show last year. So we’re still still seeing pretty strong uptake of our services and then Starlink would be on top of that.”
I don't know where all of those "18-21" launches without Starlink are coming from, we don't have anything close to that on the publicly known manifest.That’s because there are several launches planned for payloads which are not on the public manifest.
In light of the Anasis-II (KMilSatCom1) showing up on SpaceX's manifest recently, I have identified 6 other payloads from Gunter's space page with unknown launch vehicles that were ordered between 2014 and 2016. According to Gunter, Anasis-II was ordered in 2016.
The 6 possible payloads for SpaceX listed as having an unknown launcher by Gunter are: Turksat 6A, Inmarsat-6 F1 & F2, Silkwave I, DirecTV 16, and SatKomHan1.
Four more satellites in 2017 and an additional four in 2018 were ordered without known launchers.
Falcon 9 launches 60 Starlink satellites to orbit – targeting up to 6 Starlink launches this year and will accelerate our cadence next year to put ~720 satellites in orbit for continuous coverage of most populated areas on Earth
Then let's have a look at your Mission to the Moon. When will it start?
Currently we expect a launch date in 2021. We are still in a world where we have reserved a flight on a Falcon 9, actually made a down payment. We have somewhat changed Alina, our lander ... It will have a mass of 4000 kg (wet) and a payload capacity of up to 300 kg, and with that we are single passenger on a Falcon 9."
QuoteFalcon 9 launches 60 Starlink satellites to orbit – targeting up to 6 Starlink launches this year and will accelerate our cadence next year to put ~720 satellites in orbit for continuous coverage of most populated areas on Earth
It seems SpaceX is targeting 12 Starlink launches next year
NASA's three commercial providers for Artemis landers: [Astrobotic, Intuitive Machines, Orbit Beyobd]
Two of three will be flying on SpaceX (F9).
Ah a question about launch providers! Orbit Beyond and Intuitive Machines say Falcon 9, and Astrobotic is assessing launch options
This would be quite an impressive step forward if/when it happens:

Here we have another F9 "mystery launch" from LC-40, in September 2019:
http://www.launchphotography.com/Delta_4_Atlas_5_Falcon_9_Launch_Viewing.html
Options are:
- JCSAT-18 / Kacific 1
- Starlink 2
- something we don't know of
My bet is on Starlink.
It also seems *extremely* unlikely that there will be zero launches in August if SpaceX is to have a chance of reaching Shotwell's expected 18-21 launches (excluding Starlink).Not sure what your point is but FWIW, Amos-17 will probably slip into August and IFA might happen in August also.
There might be a delay of the Korean Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter launch by @SpaceX falcon 9 in December 2020.
"Although we kept pointing out that the design was impossible for the mission since last year, the satellite chief or the project manager failed to properly deal with the problem. Administrations related to the KPLO mission have also failed to come up with effective measures due to lack of expertise and experience."

It's possible if they had an earlier contract/option they didn't have a firm use for yet they could have used it towards the tourist flights. I haven't seen any information about that.

CONTRACT RELEASE C19-018
NASA Awards Launch Services Contract for Groundbreaking Astrophysics Mission
NASA has selected SpaceX of Hawthorne, California, to provide launch services for the agency’s Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission, which will allow astronomers to discover, for the first time, the hidden details of some of the most exotic astronomical objects in our universe.
The total cost for NASA to launch IXPE is approximately $50.3 million, which includes the launch service and other mission-related costs.
IXPE measures polarized X-rays from objects, such as black holes and neutron stars to better understand these types of cosmic phenomena and extreme environments.
The IXPE mission currently is targeted to launch in April 2021 on a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A in Florida. IXPE will fly three space telescopes with sensitive detectors capable of measuring the polarization of cosmic X-rays, allowing scientists to answer fundamental questions about these turbulent environments where gravitational, electric and magnetic fields are at their limits.
NASA’s Launch Services Program at Kennedy Space Center in Florida will manage the SpaceX launch service. The IXPE project office is located at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama and is managed by the Explorers Program Office at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

Inmarsat’s CEO said in March that one of the company’s future satellites — the Airbus-made Inmarsat 6B spacecraft scheduled for launch in late 2021 — might be a candidate to fill the company’s Falcon Heavy contract option, according to Space News.
Musk has now said effectively 4-6 months for an orbital test of Starship. (Nov 2019-Jan 2020) Is it time to add a placeholder line for a BFR flight for that launch? My suggestion based on tweets plus a bit of realism is to list it as a launch from 39A for 2020, and just include one entry for now since we don't have any real details on actual numbers of orbital test flights, and their internal plans probably aren't nailed down anyway.

CEO statement
Important customer agreements and financing of Ovzon 3
During the second quarter, we continued to develop the company according to plan. The last bit of funding for Ovzon 3 is in place and Maxar, our satellite provider, has started the project to build the satellite. As for the launch of the satellite, we have recently contracted Arianespace to launch our satellite in 2021 and we have thus left the preliminary agreements we had.
It's official: our first commercial satellite has a ride to space, courtesy of @SpaceX!
This is an important milestone in our mission to triple the satellite internet capacity of Alaska -- and we couldn't be more excited.

We’ve reserved a ride on a SpaceX Falcon 9 with a launch window at Florida’s famed Cape Canaveral starting in the fourth quarter of 2020.
This means that Pacific Dataport and Microcom, our Alaska partners, will be able to provide residential and commercial Alaskan customers in even the most remote parts of the state with faster, more affordable and more reliable true broadband internet service by March 2021.
The Astranis sat is very small, will be interesting to find out the launch details. I'm assuming a rideshare.Considering the low mass, could Falcon 9 lift this into GEO?
Gedmark told SpaceNews by email that Astranis’ satellite will be a secondary payload, with SpaceX announcing primary payloads at a later date. Astranis arranged the launch itself, not through a rideshare aggregator like Spaceflight, he said.
https://twitter.com/thesheetztweetz/status/1166875475446247427QuoteUpdate from @SpaceX on its recently announced Smallsat Rideshare program:
3 annual missions now, up from 1 per year, after feedback from customers.
I'm not adding 3 SSO missions a year to the manifest yet until we see these actually start flying as dedicated flights.
Passengers who run into delays that prevent them from launching can apply 100% of monies paid towards the cost of rebooking on a subsequent mission, subject to a 10% rebooking fee.
That’s reasonable but SpaceX is VERY specific:
Quarterly SSO rideshares starting next March
Monthly “mid-inclination” rideshares starting next April
Fully listed thru the end of 2021
Yes, but the rideshare in March is an existing mission, not a dedicated launch...
In addition, SpaceX will also offer traditional rideshare opportunities on existing low Earth orbit missions, with the first mission targeted for March 2020

November 18, 2019 – Washington DC – Nanoracks, the world’s leading commercial space station company, has booked a launch mission like no other, leveraging the recently announced SpaceX Rideshare program. Onboard a Falcon 9, targeting launch in late 2020, Nanoracks has booked deployment of eight small satellites as well as the Company’s first in-space Outpost-demonstration mission.
[Space News] Air Force projects increased launch activity for 2020 (https://spacenews.com/air-force-projects-increased-launch-activity-for-2020/)Quote“It’ll probably end up between eight and 10.”...“We could see four or five Atlas launches and potentially two Delta Heavies for the NRO,” said Bongiovi. SpaceX has national security missions scheduled for 2020 as well, with as many as three by Falcon 9’s and the first Falcon Heavy national security mission.
Kepler Communications Selects SpaceX to Launch Two Batches of its Nanosatellite Constellation (https://www.keplercommunications.com/newsroom/press-releases/post/kepler-communications-selects-spacex-to-launch-two-batches-of-its-nanosatellite-constellation)
DECEMBER 12TH
Kepler announced today that it has selected SpaceX as launch partner to deliver a portion of its first Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation into space onboard SpaceX’s reusable Falcon 9 launch vehicle.
Kepler has procured 400 kg of launch capacity from SpaceX for the deployment of multiple satellites. These spacecraft incorporate both a high-capacity Ku-band communications system and a narrowband payload, for both high-speed data transfers and for low-power direct-to-satellite IoT connectivity.
This will be the first time the two companies are partnering for a LEO deployment, and it will be a historical event as it marks Kepler’s first use of SpaceX’s new SmallSat Rideshare Program, which will see the launch of multiple small spacecraft into sun-synchronous orbit (SSO).
“Kepler looks forward to working with SpaceX to fulfill part of our 2020 launch plans. With this agreement, we are deploying our next-generation constellation on schedule, which will let us serve the growing demand,” said Mina Mitry, CEO of Kepler Communications. “We chose SpaceX as a launch partner and support their SmallSat Rideshare Program which is certainly a one-of-its-kind, exceeding expectations in terms of pricing and accommodation.”
”SpaceX is honored Kepler chose our Falcon 9 rideshare program to launch a portion of its innovative nanosatellite constellation, which will help close global gaps in internet connectivity,” said Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “SpaceX is looking forward to delivering these important spacecraft to orbit for Kepler.”
Kepler’s LEO satellite constellation will be comprised of approximately 140 satellites. Planned to be deployed in three phases, from 2020 to 2023 and each with an incremental number of satellites launched, Kepler’s LEO constellation will grow to become a space data relay system to serve other constellations with high-speed data backhaul capabilities. Today, the company is focused on building the install base for Global Data ServiceTM, its pole-to-pole wideband connectivity service for mobile and fixed applications. EverywhereIOTTM, Kepler’s affordable solution for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, will enter user trials in the coming months.

SPACEX IN BID TO LAUNCH FIRST TURKISH-BUILT SATELLITEhttps://www.dailysabah.com/technology/2019/05/09/new-generation-satellite-turksat-5a-to-be-in-orbit-in-q2-of-2020
Türksat General Manager Şen also emphasized that ... SpaceX is a candidate to launch Turkey's first nationally-built satellite. He noted that the Turkish satellite operator currently has two missions to launch satellites with SpaceX, with the 5A satellite planning to be launched next year.
The Türksat 5A will be launched from the launch pad in Florida, the U.S., in the second quarter of 2020 if everything goes as planned, Türksat General Manager Cenk Şen said on the sidelines of the 2019 Satellite Conference in Washington.
SpaceX teams across the United States are readying for what the company’s chief operating officer predicts will be a record number of launches in 2020.
The first two of up to 38 SpaceX launches next year are scheduled for Jan. 3 and Jan. 11.

“I think in 2020 we’ll do more, and that’s because of Starlink,” she said in a roundtable discussion with reporters earlier this month. “I think we will have 14 or 15 non-Starlink launches, and then we’ll fly Starlink as often as we can.
“I need second stages to be built a little bit faster, but we would probably shoot for 35 to 38 missions next year,” Shotwell said.
Pretty sure there won't be an F9 launch from VAFB in March. That rideshare will fly with SAOCOM 1B from Florida.

Nilesat partners with SpaceX to launch Nilesat-301 satellite in 2022
by Staff Reporter January 22, 2020
Positioned at 7° West, Nilesat-301 will work with Nilesat-201 to provide Ku-band services for the Middle East and North Africa.
Egyptian satellite operator Nilesat has partnered with SpaceX for the launch of Nilesat-301 geostationary communications satellite due in 2022. A contract was sealed between Nilesat and SpaceX in Cairo on Tuesday, the first cooperation between the two companies.
Intuitive Machines confirmed plans Wednesday to launch a commercial lunar lander aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Space Coast in 2021 on a mission to deliver multiple payloads to the moon, including up to five science instruments for NASA.
The Houston-based company’s first robotic Nova-C lander will carry up to 220 pounds, or 100 kilograms, of payloads to the moon’s surface. Launch and landing are scheduled for July 2021, according to Trent Martin, vice president of aerospace systems at Intuitive Machines.
...
The Nova-C lander will likely launch on a rideshare mission with other spacecraft on the same Falcon 9 rocket, Martin said.
“They don’t specify it in that way, but essentially, we’re a primary (payload),” Martin said. “The reason it’s a rideshare is we weigh 1,700 kilograms (about 3,750 pounds), so they have remaining mass available.”
...
“Depending on their rideshare, they could have someone that goes to GTO and we can do our own TLI, or there’s a possibility they could throw us (directly toward the moon), so we’re protecting for both,” Martin said Wednesday.

Finnish startup Aurora Propulsion Technologies signed a contract at the SmallSat Symposium to fly a deorbiting technology demonstration on a Momentus Space Vigoride mission.
Aurora plans to send a 1.5-unit cubesat into orbit on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in December 2020 before riding with Momentus’ Vigoride service to sun-synchronous orbit.
It seems Momentus moved their payload from a Starlink rideshare to the December SSO rideshare.Why do you think they were planning on launching with Starlink? I was under the impression it was always intended to launch on the first dedicated mission.

It's hard to tell what's actually been exercised. The contract value mysteriously increased by $90M at some point early on, and currently it shows $193M of $387M being obligated. The GPS III-5 launch is supposed to be late this year and they haven't awarded it to anyone else. I'm assuming both of those options are being exercised just based on their subsequent behavior.
One of the largest single items is $255 million to launch two GPS 3 satellites that already are in production at Lockheed Martin’s assembly line but whose launches have not been funded. The Space Force would use this money to launch the sixth and seventh satellites of the GPS 3 constellation. Two spacecraft are already on orbit and three more are expected to launch in 2020 and early 2021.
The numbers in the EA have very little to do with the actual manifest.

KEY POINTS
NASA and SpaceX are moving forward with Demo-2, with the company planning to launch astronauts in late May despite the coronavirus crisis sweeping the nation.
“We need access to the International Space Station from the United States of America ... it’s essential for our country to have that capability,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told CNBC.
Bridenstine said that the agency is “making sure that we’re practicing all of our social distancing measures,” with employees using personal protective equipment and working in rotating shifts.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/03/nasa-spacex-to-launch-astronauts-in-may-despite-coronavirus-pandemic.html
From interview with Jim Bridenstine:QuoteHe said that NASA and SpaceX feel “pretty confident” that it will launch without a major delay, as “we’re working through the coronavirus pandemic.” He admitted that the rapidly evolving crisis means “we don’t know what the outcome is going to be” but said that “but if it gets delayed a little bit, we’re going to be OK with that.”
Edit to add:Quote“Depending on when we launch they’re going to be up there for probably two to three months,” Bridenstine said.
Bridenstine explained that the plan is to bring Behnken and Hurley back a month before Crew-1

SkySats 16-18 will launch on SpaceX’s ninth Starlink mission, targeted for launch in the next month, and SkySats 19-21 will launch later this summer. Both missions will launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida.
Now there are sources that claim a SpaceX rideshare in December 2020
- from VAFB (http://licensing.fcc.gov/myibfs/download.do?attachment_key=2334036)
- from KSC (http://www.albaorbital.com/new-blog/2020/5/14/momentus-and-alba-orbital-sign-contract-for-up-to-10-pocketqubes)
- from CCAFS (https://www.nasa.gov/content/upcoming-elana-cubesat-launches)
Either one of these is wrong, or there will be a third rideshare mission in December.
Will this further prove that ALL polar orbits will be launched from Cape Canaveral?

The timing would be good for the Korean satellite, ANASIS II.
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral will launch the ninth batch of Starlink internet satellites from pad 40 on mid June TBA, likely around 9-10pm EDT. Then, a Falcon 9 from pad 39A will launch the tenth Starlink batch on June TBA. And a Falcon 9 is slated to launch the next GPS III satellite for the U.S. Air Force from pad 40 on June 30 at 3:55pm EDT. The launch window stretches 15 minutes to 4:10pm EDT.
SpaceX is targeting June 24 for the tenth Starlink mission, per SpaceNews.
As I noted yesterday, the ninth Starlink mission is scheduled for June 12/13. SpaceX also has a GPS launch scheduled scheduled for June 30.
Assuming no weather or other delays that’ll be 5 launches in a span of 31 days. Wow!
Updated FPIPThanks!
- just to celebrate the situation where we know launch dates for the next 3 (THREE) launches in a row.
- also it is an attempt to squeeze 8 starlink launches into 4 months :)
...Someone from SpaceX (Shotwell if memory serves) said in a recent interview that refurbishment costs ~$1 million and takes "weeks". So, clearly, time-between-uses and refurbishment-time are not the same thing (which is kind of obvious if you think about it). We'll know soon enough.
There are no cores available for so many launches in July/August.
The only way I can see this happening is reactivating and conversion of FH side cores 1052 and 1053.
Or a very bold move into super rapid turnaround in the range of weeks instead of months (as it is right now: >68 days)

SPACEFLIGHT INC. SIGNS MULTI-LAUNCH AGREEMENT WITH SPACEX FOR RIDESHARE SERVICES
By Jodi Sorensen
JUNE 17, 2020
New MLA secures launch capacity, delivers end-to-end mission management services, and lowers costs for upcoming rideshare launches
SEATTLE – June 17, 2020 — Spaceflight Inc., the leading satellite rideshare and mission management provider, today announced it inked an agreement with SpaceX to secure rideshare capacity on multiple launches. This agreement between the two companies secures Spaceflight capacity to launch manifest payloads on several SpaceX launches through the end of 2021, providing launch schedule assurance to smallsat customers needing frequent, reliable, and cost-effective launches to Sun-synchronous orbit.
“By offering a variety of launch options, we can better meet our customer’s specific launch needs and offer increased launch flexibility,” said Curt Blake, president and CEO of Spaceflight. “This agreement with SpaceX will be particularly attractive to smallsat customers. SpaceX’s consistent launch schedule coupled with our deep expertise in mission management and integration services offers rideshare options with greater reliability. This agreement will allow us to package multiple payloads onto a single port to significantly reduce the cost per spacecraft for the end-customer.”
According to a recent research study by Bryce Space and Technology, delays are commonplace throughout the launch industry. “Launch delays are inevitable and are typically out of the control of rideshare customers. In order to offer launch flexibility and minimize the impact of significant delays, it’s critical to have capacity on a wide range of launches to easily re-manifest customers from one launch to another,” said Devon Papandrew, vice president of business operations at Spaceflight. “Having this guaranteed capacity with SpaceX improves our customers’ odds of getting on orbit when they need to and helps us ensure flights are as full as possible, lowering costs for all and minimizing environmental impacts.”
The agreement builds on a long-standing relationship between the two companies. Spaceflight and SpaceX have partnered for several industry firsts, including SSO-A, the first dedicated rideshare mission with 64 smallsats aboard a Falcon 9 in December 2018. Additionally, Spaceflight and SpaceX teamed up on the first-ever rideshare mission to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit carrying a commercial lunar lander in February 2019. Spaceflight also announced today it will launch two rideshare payloads aboard SpaceX’s tenth Starlink mission, marking the first SpaceX Starlink mission that will be accompanied by Spaceflight rideshare payloads.
“Spaceflight is one of the most experienced companies offering mission management and integration services for smallsat operators, and we are proud to offer their customers the best launch solution on the market,” says SpaceX Vice President of Commercial Sales Tom Ochinero. “Together, Spaceflight and SpaceX are providing small satellite operators access to space in the most reliable and cost-effective way possible.”
Spaceflight works with a large portfolio of launch vehicles, including Falcon 9, Antares, Electron, Vega, and PSLV, to provide a variety of launch options to its customers. The company has launched more than 270 satellites across nearly 30 rideshare missions. In 2019, the company successfully executed nine missions, the most it’s ever launched in one year, sending more than 50 payloads to space.
###
Also from the CNBC article:QuoteThe company [VG] also said that it would seek to buy seats on flights to the space station
More customers for SpaceX?
I miss the good ol' days of 2018 ;)There are ~8 non-Starlink launches that are highly likely. Most are Government payloads and already have tentative dates/months for their launch. Also Starlink will likely maintain the initiative at least of averaging 2 a month for 12 Starlink launches in 2H2020. That is a closer to 20 flights as long as no significant problems with pad, boosters, weather, and range occur. But since they always do the other non firm payloads for 2020 as well as a couple with tentative dates at EOY will most likely move into 2021 leaving around 18 for 2H2020.
We have, what, 17 more on the Manifest for the next half year?
Could put the pace near the previous peak.
My 5 cents on the Q3-2020 schedule.
Right now SpaceX has 5 boosters in the fleet; the fastest demonstrated turnaround for booster is 63 days.
If this turnaround close to the limit, then we would see just one launch in July (Starlink F10). The other cores would not be ready by the end of July.
However, we hear on launch of Anasis II planned for Jul 13. And there is a guess it will use B1058 core.
If this turns out true then the minimum turnaround is about 40-45 days.
In this case we could expect up to 4 launches in July and 3 more in August. (this is of course upper limit)
The attached graph illustrates the "booster flow".
"ESA also was able to acquire an additional mission to the International Space Station in 2021 for the first flight of ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer. Details of that mission are yet to be established, but for now Matthias is training as the backup for Thomas."

Does this meant that crew dragon will fly in USCV-3 too? Mathias is currently training on crew dragon, it is logical to assume that he will fly on dragon in september 2021 (if crew-2 will fly in march)... but what about starliner?
SAN FRANCISCO – Swarm Technologies is working with Exolaunch of Germany to send 24 SpaceBee satellites into orbit on the SpaceX Falcon 9 small satellite rideshare mission scheduled to launch in December.https://spacenews.com/swarm-launch-with-exolaunch/

Earlier this year, Exolaunch announced an agreement with SpaceX to send multiple small satellites into orbit on the December rideshare flight.
Luxembourg-based satellite telecommunications company SES announces launch contracts with both SpaceX and ULA:
Two C-band satellites launching in 2022 on an Atlas V rocket
Up to three C-band satellites launching in 2022 on two Falcon 9 rockets
SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell: "SES is one of SpaceX‘s most-valued partners, and we are proud of their continued trust in our capabilities to reliably deliver their satellites to orbit. We are excited to once again play a role in executing SES’s solutions.”
This is should be either SES-17 + SES-18, or SES-19 + SES-20. Launch date Q3 2020. (Source (https://www.ses.com/press-release/ses-selects-two-us-companies-build-four-new-satellites-part-accelerated-c-band))
Not sure about the third satellite.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will launch two C-band satellites built by Northrop Grumman as well as provide enhanced protection to rapidly launch a contingency satellite from Cape Canaveral, Florida in 2022 allowing SES to meet the Federal Communications Commission’s time-critical objective to roll out 5G services across the United States.
I just counted through the 2021 launch manifest and discovered that it totals 24 without any Starlink launches. When did SpaceX amass this large list for 2021?

We have no idea what the dollar amount for that flight is.
Yet another contract for SpaceX: @SES_Satellites says it has selected Falcon 9 to launch four 03b comms / internet satellites from the Cape starting next year.
At this rate, SpaceX will have launched at least 13 missions for SES by the mid-2020s.
With Starlink L14 in a possible October time frame. May need to add 3 or 4 more Starlink launches to the 2020 manifest schedule.
4 may be a reach since there are a lot of launches other than Starlink piling up into October thru December 2020.
So the suggestion would be to keep a forward scheduling of next 3 Starlinks. Whenever the next Starlink to launch for the year drops below 3 add 2 to the list. I expect the addition of 2 more Starlink launches for 2020 than what is currently in the 2020 manifest if 2 more Starlinks are at least launched through the end of Sept.
But having more than 4 Starlink listed when the dates are so fluid because of being second class to other launches becomes a little bit of a clutter. At worst you are adding 2 more to the manifest once a month. The alternate is to add 4 but still wait for the list to get below 3 to add the next 4.

If I remember correctly the Crew-1 date at that time was late August / early September. So it jives with that Crew-1 schedule at that time. So if it is still to occur before the operational flight of Starliner then it would be Late October now for Crew-3. But Depending on how successful or not the Starliner OFT-2 and DEMO-1 are, things can be different.Even though the date in the document name is February 24, the actual content in the document is from July 28, 2020.According to this schedule SpaceX Crew-3 - mid August 2021

Intelsat has contracted with SpaceX and Arianespace to launch these satellites on four separate launch vehicles
If I’m reading between the lines of the announcement correctly, that would be Ariane 5, Ariane 6, Falcon 9, and Falcon Heavy.
Yes, I believe so. And Arianespace confirmed in a separate release that they will have two launches. Dual satellites on an Ariane 5 and a single satellite on Ariane 6.
Correction: It is seven total satellites. I misread the release. The manufacturer (Maxar) for one additional satellite was announced today.
Will be four satellites launched with SpaceX and three satellites with Arianespace.
That would be Intelsat 31,32,33,34. Not sure on the launch vehicles yet.Interesting, so four satellites on two launches, one F9 and one FH? A curious mix.
EDIT - where is the "reading between the lines" on the FH coming from, is there a separate PR from SpaceX? Or is one of the contracted satellites too heavy for an F9?
Here is how these Intelsat contracts break down, with 7 satellites launching on 4 rockets:
– 2 on Falcon 9 (Q3 '22)
– 2 on Falcon 9 (Q3 '22)
– 2 on Ariane 5 (Q4 '22)
– 1 on either Ariane 6 or Falcon 9 (Q3 '23)
Intelsat declined my request for comment on how the $390 million will be split between SpaceX and Arianespace, citing confidentiality agreements.
Intelsat will award whichever company doesn’t launch the seventh satellite with a contract for a separate later launch, the company told CNBC.

From the CNBC article linked above:Sounds like Ariane 6 is the intended launcher for #7 and Falcon 9 is backup if Ariane 6 isn't ready in time, since they really can't afford to have these launches slip. With the unselected company getting a different follow-on contract.QuoteIntelsat will award whichever company doesn’t launch the seventh satellite with a contract for a separate later launch, the company told CNBC.
So $390 for four launches might look something like:
Ariane 5 - ~$130 million (but according to https://www.seradata.com/arianespace-lowers-ariane-5-launch-price-to-combat-spacex-in-asia-pacific-contest/ this supposedly should be more like ~$100 million)
Falcon 9x2 - ~$120 million?
Ariane 6 + Falcon 9 - ~$80 million + ~$60 million == ~$140 million?
I'm assuming that the total cost includes both the A6 and F9 launch for that 7th satellite, otherwise the numbers just don't work, and that makes sense that Intelsat is just buying a future ride from whoever isn't used for that bird. The numbers also don't work if Ariane 5 is as low as the article suggests, but $130 million seems plausible.
Based on these guesstimates the split would be $180 million for 3 F9 launches and $210 million for the A5 and A6 launches combined.

I thought we are talking about either five Falcon 9 launches and two Ariane 5 launches or four Falcon 9 launches and two Ariane 5 launches and one Ariane 6 launch. Why not assume that the price for the Falcon 9 launches is what SpaceX is publicly asserting, $50 million apiece? And since Ariane 6 is supposed to be cheaper than Ariane 5 and it is also intended to compete with SpaceX and since this will be one of Ariane 6's first flights, assume that Arianespace will charge $50 million for it also, regardless of what it actually costs.
So that would give $250 million for either five Falcon 9 launches or four Falcon 9 launches plus one Ariane 6 launch.
And that would leave two Ariane 5 launches at $70 million apiece.
The reason for Intelsat doing this, paying more for Ariane 5, would be similar to the logic of NASA supporting two launchers for manned space flight. They want to have alternatives and redundancy.
It's 3 Falcon 9 launches, half? an Ariane 5 launch, and half an Ariane 64 launch.
It's 3 Falcon 9 launches, half? an Ariane 5 launch, and half an Ariane 64 launch.

Here is how these Intelsat contracts break down, with 7 satellites launching on 4 rockets:
– 2 on Falcon 9 (Q3 '22)
– 2 on Falcon 9 (Q3 '22)
– 2 on Ariane 5 (Q4 '22)
– 1 on either Ariane 6 or Falcon 9 (Q3 '23)
Air Force clears @spacex to fly two upcoming GPS satellites on previously flown @spacex Falcon 9 rockets, saving $26m per flight, says Dr Walt Lauderale
After SpaceX successfully recovered the Falcon 9 rocket booster after the GPS III SV-03 launch in June, the U.S. Space Force's SMC amended its contract with the company to allow for recovery and reuse for the upcoming SV-04, SV-05, and SV-06 missions.
SMC Falcon chief Dr. Walt Lauderdale: “I am proud of our partnership with SpaceX that allowed us to successfully negotiate contract modifications for the upcoming GPS III missions that will save taxpayers $52.7 million while maintaining our unprecedented record of success.”
SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell: "We appreciate the effort that the U.S. Space Force invested into the evaluation ... Our extensive experience with reuse has allowed SpaceX to continually upgrade the fleet and save significant precious tax dollars on these launches.”
KPLO by the Falcon 9 rocket was set for Aug. 01, 2022

Hans seemed to imply today that CRS-21 will launch from LC-39A due the ability of being able to use the crew arm to late-load cargo on the pad.
SpaceX is targeting no earlier than October for a Falcon 9 mission featuring a return to launch site recovery, per an FCC filing. No missions on SpaceX's publicly-known manifest seem to be a good fit. It could *possibly* be an unannounced mission.
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=102332
And no, it is not CRS-21. Filings for the CRS-21 mission can be found below. That mission is an ASDS recovery.

Has this mystery payload been discussed before?
The National Reconnaissance Office has confirmed it will launch a payload on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral later this month, a mission on SpaceX’s schedule that was not publicly disclosed until recently.

Presuming no launch hiccups. We have a spooks round of launches just before Halloween. ;D

GPS III SV4
NROL-108
NROL-101
Starlink flt 15
Some suit in an nondescript office somewhere must be feeling anxiety over the dollars that the upcoming East coast NROL flights along with the West coast NROL-82 flight represents.
note 1 - GPS III SV4 have to be flown before NROL-108 to validated newly build Falcon 9 cores for NRO & NASA.
note 2 - the Starlink flights are somewhat tenuously linked to the spooks in that some of them might be future communication relays for the spooks. Also to padded the list. :P
Priority list for Eastern Range:Is this inside knowledge or supposition on your part? If the latter, it's considered good etiquette on NSF to make that clear.

NASA says SpaceX is now on the hook for nine CRS-2 missions, three more than the guaranteed minimum of six.
SpaceX manifest updates. The best guess at the current manifest is in this post.
There is a corresponding Discussion Thread (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=52191.0) to talk about the manifest.
The first four posts in this thread are maintained
1 - Current manifest and some links
2 - Past launches
3 - Smoliarm's graphical manifest
4 - links
Discussion of the table format should be done here: SpaceX Manifest Table Format Discussion (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=43214.0)

The Environmental Defense Fund says its Earth observing MethaneSat will launch on a Falcon 9 rocket in October, 2022. The satellite and its launch will largely be paid for by a $100 million grant from the Bezos Earth Fund.
We have selected SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket for our second Moon mission launching no earlier than 2022.
(...) A Falcon 9 will launch the eighteenth Starlink batch on January TBD. Other upcoming launches include multiple Starlink missions in a row through January and February.

Per an NBC news release, SpaceX is about to announce that tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman will lead the first all-civilian space mission. This four person mission on Crew Dragon will be named Inspiration4.
In a SmallSat Symposium session, Jarrod McLachlan of SpaceX says they have two more dedicated rideshare launches, Transporter-2 and -3, scheduled for later this year. No estimate on # of satellites on each, but he said demand is “strong and growing.”
Commercial Crew tentative schedule, per latest NASA planning document. Note that these schedules are fairly fluid.
2021:
- OFT 2 - 3/25
- Crew 2 - 4/20
- Crew 1 Return - 5/1
- Crew 3 - 9/13
- Crew 2 Return - 9/27
- CFT - September

2022:
- Crew 4 - 2/4
- Starliner 1 - 2/24 (Obviously, only Crew-4 or Starliner-1 will happen in this timeframe)
- Starliner-2 - 4/21
- Crew 5 - 8/15
- Starliner 3 - 12/14
2023:
- Crew 6 - 2/1
The schedule ends here, but more Starliner launches likely in 2023.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., Hawthorne, California, has been awarded two individual firm-fixed-price task orders totaling $159,721,445 under the National Security Space Launch Phase 2 contract. These task orders provide the basic launch services and mission integration for USSF-36 and NROL-69. Work will be performed in Hawthorne, California; Vandenberg Air Force Base, California; and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Fiscal 2021 missile and space procurement funds in the full amount are being obligated at the time of award. The Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, California, is the contracting activity (FA8811-21-F-0009 and FA8811-21-F-0010).

SPACEX TO LAUNCH FOUR AXIOM MISSIONS TO ISS
Developed by SpaceX to support NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, Dragon helped return human spaceflight capabilities in 2020 and has successfully flown three human spaceflight missions to the International Space Station (ISS) to-date. In addition to flying astronauts to space for NASA, Dragon can also carry commercial astronauts to Earth orbit, the ISS or beyond.
Today, Axiom Space announced SpaceX will fly three additional private crew missions aboard Dragon to and from the Station through 2023. Axiom previously announced their first mission to the International Space Station flying aboard Dragon, currently targeted to liftoff no earlier than January 2022. In May 2021, Axiom announced that astronaut Peggy Whitson and champion GT racer John Shoffner will serve as commander and pilot on the Ax-2 mission.
All four crews will receive combined commercial astronaut training from NASA and SpaceX, with SpaceX providing training on the Falcon 9 launch vehicle and Dragon spacecraft, emergency preparedness training, spacesuit and spacecraft ingress and egress exercises, as well as partial and full simulations.
The growing partnership between Axiom and SpaceX will enable more opportunities for more humans in space on the road to making humanity multiplanetary.

Orbiter’s first mission is scheduled for October 2022, when it will fly on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare mission.
Amazonas Nexus will be launched in the second half of 2022.
Based on the Spacebus NEO platform from Thales Alenia Space, the satellite will feature full electric propulsion, making the satellite lighter and contributing to lower the launch cost. With an estimated lifetime of 15 years, 20 kW satellite power and a mass of 4.5 metric tons at launch, Amazonas Nexus will be launched mid-2022.
SpaceX has completed its 20th orbital launch of the year, remaining on a pace of one mission every nine days.
However, there will be at most one Falcon 9 launch in July, so they will fall off this ridiculously high cadence.
SpaceX will send South Korea’s next-generation midsize satellite into orbit in 2023, Korea Aerospace Industries said Sunday.
KAI, the nation’s sole aircraft manufacturer, which developed KF-21 fighters, plans to launch four midsize satellites by 2025 -- No. 2 in 2022, No. 3 and No. 4 in 2023 and No. 5 in 2025. SpaceX rocket will carry the No. 4 into orbit, which will monitor Korean agriculture.
AST SpaceMobile Announces Launch Services Agreement to Deploy 693-Square-Foot Phased Array Spacecraft for Direct-to-Cell Phone Connectivity Testing
July 29, 2021 08:02 AM Eastern Daylight Time
MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS), the company building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by standard mobile phones, today announced an agreement with Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”) for the launch of its next prototype spacecraft, BlueWalker 3.
“We're pleased to launch with US-based SpaceX, which allows us to deploy BlueWalker 3 from our own backyard,“ said Scott Wisniewski, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of AST SpaceMobile. #5G
BlueWalker 3 is expected to launch aboard a SpaceX mission from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in March 2022. The spacecraft has an aperture of 693 square feet and is designed to communicate directly with cell phones via 3GPP standard frequencies.
“We're pleased to launch with US-based SpaceX, which allows us to deploy BlueWalker 3 from our own backyard,“ said Scott Wisniewski, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of AST SpaceMobile. “The spacecraft will be the second prototype to leverage our patented technology.”
AST SpaceMobile's mission is to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today's five billion mobile subscribers moving in and out of coverage zones, and bring cellular broadband to approximately half of the world's population who remain unconnected.
Partners in this effort are leading global wireless infrastructure companies, including Rakuten, Vodafone and American Tower. As of June 30, 2021, AST SpaceMobile has entered into agreements and understandings with mobile network operators which collectively cover approximately 1.4 billion mobile subscribers.

Steve Collar, CEO of SES who also joined the virtual press event, said the company decided to launch mPOWER satellites in batches of three initially, even though it is possible to fit four on a Falcon 9.
“We’re still hoping we’ll get [the first three] off at the very end of this year,” Collar said.
“It might be touch and go. It could be a Christmas or a New Year gift.”
He added: “[T]hen the second three will launch sometime in the first quarter. And actually we have a little bit more oomph on the second launch, and that’ll allow the … two sets of satellites to get to orbit roughly at the same time — so, the middle of the year, and that’ll allow us to do a full orbital check out on the first six, which is what we will be basing kind of the launch service on.
“And then the … remaining satellites will get launched through 2022 and 2023.”

EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) will be the first German optical earth remote sensing mission in orbit. It will acquire high quality hyperspectral image data with 230 spectral channels in the solar-reflectance range on a frequent basis with high geometric resolution. The major objectives of the mission are to measure, derive, and analyze numerous diagnostic parameters which describe vital processes on the earth’s surface relating to agriculture, forestry, soil and geological environments, as well as coastal zones and inland waters. During operations the mission will provide information about the status of different ecosystems and their response to natural or man-made changes in the environment. The mission management is led by the Space Agency of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The scientific aspects of the mission are covered by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). The OHB-System AG is responsible for the development, production, and launch of the satellite. The establishment and operation of the ground segment is performed by the DLR entities Earth Observation Center (EOC) and Space Operations and Astronaut Training (RB) . The ground segment is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi).

NASA picks SpaceX's Falcon Heavy for $152.5 million to launch the agency's GOES-U weather mapping satellite in April 2024, per statement.
Sep 10, 2021
CONTRACT RELEASE C21-025
NASA Awards Launch Services Contract for GOES-U Mission
NASA has selected Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) of Hawthorne, California, to provide launch services for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-U (GOES-U) mission. GOES-U will provide advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s weather, oceans, and environment, as well as real-time mapping of total lightning activity and improved monitoring of solar activity and space weather.
The total cost for NASA to launch GOES-U is approximately $152.5 million, which includes the launch service and other mission-related costs.
The GOES-U mission is targeted to launch in April 2024 on a Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. GOES-U is the fourth and final spacecraft in the GOES-R Series of geostationary weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The GOES-R Series is a joint effort between NASA and NOAA and includes GOES-R, GOES-S, GOES-T, and GOES-U.
NASA’s Launch Services Program at Kennedy Space Center in Florida is responsible for launch vehicle program management of the SpaceX launch service. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the GOES-R Flight Projects office, which oversees the acquisition of the GOES-R series instruments and spacecraft. A collaborative NOAA and NASA team manages the GOES-R Program.

Turkey's transport and infrastructure ministry has selected SpaceX/Falcon 9 for #Turksat6A, the country's first domestically built comms satellite. Completion in late 2022 followed by launch from KSC/Cape in 2023.
Of course this news breaks while I'm on vacation in...Turkey.
CSG-2 is listed by most manifests as launching on Vega-C. A recent filing for ground station support shows it as launching on a Falcon 9 from Florida NET November. A document on the Italian Space Agency's site that has a 2021 date shows it as launching before the end of 2021.
...The second COSMO SkyMed Second Generation satellite (CSG-2) was planned to be launched with VEGA-C within 2021, but the launcher development has been impacted by the VV15 and VV17 failures and, above all, by the COVID pandemic. The delays, postponing the VEGA-C Maiden Flight to Q1 2022, with a consequent tight schedule of launches in 2022, made the launch period of CSG-2 no longer compatible with the needs of the COSMO Mission. Since Arianespace backlog was already full on Soyuz and Ariane systems in 2021, it was not possible to have a European back-up solution compliant with the CSG-2 schedule, thus an alternative solution with the US provider SPACE X has been adopted allowing to keep the CSG-2 launch within the current year. ...
Varda Space announced Oct. 11 it signed a launch services agreement with SpaceX for that smallsat, which will be part of a Falcon 9 rideshare mission scheduled for the first quarter of 2023. The companies did not disclose the terms of the contract.
The spacecraft will spend up to three months in orbit to test space manufacturing technologies. At the end of that mission, a reentry capsule will return to Earth the material produced in orbit.
The UAE’s Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre announced at a press conference during #IAC2021 that it’s selected SpaceX to launch its MBZ SAT imaging satellite on a Falcon 9 in 2023.
MBRSC team completed the structure model and initial tests of MBZ-SAT along with the completion of the engineering and Flatsat qualification module. The team will now begin preparations to manufacture the flight model.
UK @DefenceHQ's Skynet 6A satellite will be launched into GEO orbit in 2025 by a @SpaceXFalcon 9 rocket, UK MoD said at @SMi_Group @GlobalMilSatCom. Decision based on value for money & schedule credibility, prime contractor @AirbusSpace said.
SEOUL, South Korea — Contec, a ground station services provider here, has signed a contract with smallsat mission integrator NanoAvionics for an Earth observation satellite that will launch in the second half of 2023 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Under the deal announced Oct. 27, the U.S.-based NanoAvionics will provide a modular 16U satellite bus that will consist of Contec’s laser communication terminal (LCT) and an integrated imager with 1.5-meter resolution, supplied by South Africa’s Simera Sense.
Smallsat mission integrator NanoAvionics has signed a contract with Contec that includes supplying a 16U nanosatellite as well as mission integration and launch services to the Korean company. The launch of the Earth observation (EO) nanosatellite is planned for the first half of 2023.

Google translate:QuoteOberpfaffenhofen, December 17, 2021. The hyperspectral satellite EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) has reached the next milestone and successfully completed the environmental tests at the IABG test center in Ottobrunn, Bavaria. Further functional tests at the OHB company headquarters in Bremen, where the satellite is now being prepared for departure towards the launch site, have now comprehensively confirmed the functionality of the satellite. This means that the satellite is ready for the ride into space! EnMAP is intended to provide new types of data sets on the state of the ecosystem on the land surface and its changes. In April 2022, the “environmental observer” is to set off on a Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX for its sun-synchronous earth orbit at an altitude of around 650 kilometers.

Two more Falcon 9 flights with Starlink satellites are slated this month, bringing the total tally to seven missions on the range schedule at Cape Canaveral. Launch dates for the next two Starlink missions were unavailable Thursday. (...) the next two Starlink missions are expected to launch on similar paths as the Starlink 4-5 flight Thursday.Source: Stephen Clark for SFN (https://spaceflightnow.com/2022/01/06/spacex-deploys-49-more-starlink-satellites-in-first-launch-of-2022/)
SpaceX has told us they are trying to do five launches from the Eastern Range this month. These are:
Starlink Group 4-5
SpaceX Transporter-3
Starlink Group 4-6
CSG-2
Starlink Group 4-7

A Falcon 9 from pad 39A will launch another Starlink batch on January 29
The impressive figure was given during a virtual meeting of NASA’s Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel, or ASAP, which gives guidance to the space agency on how to maintain safety within its biggest programs. “NASA and SpaceX will have to be watchful during 2022 that they’re not victims of their success,” Sandy Magnus, a former NASA astronaut and member of the panel, said during the meeting. “There’s an ambitious 52-launch manifest for SpaceX over the course of the year. And that’s an incredible pace.”
The satellites can collect thermal data, both day and night, of the built and natural environment at any location on the planet. The full constellation will have the ability to measure the heat signature of any building multiple times a day, enabling Satellite Vu to provide near real time insights about building heat loss, giving an accurate image of where to implement energy optimisation investments, offering substantial cost saving benefits to both public and private sector.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the second in the Inmarsat-6 series of satellites, I-6 F2, from Cape Canaveral, Florida in Q1 2023.
NASA has awarded three additional missions to Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) of Hawthorne, California, for crew transportation services to the International Space Station as part of its Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract. The CCtCap modification, following the agency’s notice of intent to procure the flights in December 2021, brings the total missions for SpaceX to nine and allows NASA to maintain an uninterrupted U.S. capability for human access to the space station.
This is a firm fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract modification for the Crew-7, Crew-8, and Crew-9 missions, bringing the total contract value to $3,490,872,904. The period of performance runs through March 31, 2028. The current sole source modification does not preclude NASA from seeking additional contract modifications in the future for additional transportation services as needed.
In 2014, NASA awarded the CCtCap contracts to Boeing and SpaceX through a public-private partnership as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Under CCtCap, NASA certifies that a provider’s space transportation system meets the agency’s requirements prior to flying missions with astronauts.
SpaceX was certified by NASA for crew transportation in November 2020, and currently its third crew rotation mission for the agency is in orbit. As part of the missions, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket transport up to four astronauts along with critical cargo to the space station.

AST SpaceMobile Announces Multi-Launch Agreement With SpaceX for Planned Direct-to-Cell Phone Connectivity (https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220309005369/en/AST-SpaceMobile-Announces-Multi-Launch-Agreement-With-SpaceX-for-Planned-Direct-to-Cell-Phone-Connectivity)Quote from: businesswire.comMIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (“AST SpaceMobile”) (NASDAQ: ASTS), the company building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by standard mobile phones, today announced it has signed a multi-launch agreement with Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”). In addition to the planned summer launch of the BlueWalker 3 test satellite (BW3), the agreement covers the launch of the first BlueBird satellite and provides a framework for future launches.
“This agreement secures the availability for a reliable launch of our first production satellites out of the U.S.,” said AST SpaceMobile Founder, Chairman and CEO Abel Avellan. “Our summer launch of BlueWalker 3 will complete the development phase for our company. We have also been industrializing our technology and preparing for the launch of the BlueBird satellites, with this agreement as a key step.”
The BW3 satellite is slated to launch from Cape Canaveral on a Falcon 9 vehicle. The satellite has an aperture of 693 square feet and is designed to communicate directly with cell phones via 3GPP standard frequencies.
https://twitter.com/jeff_foust/status/1501567300050296836?s=21QuoteAccording to an SEC filing, AST SpaceMobile is paying $22.75 million, which covers “technical adjustments” to its earlier BlueWalker 3 launch contract, initial payment for the first BlueBird launch and a reservation fee for a future BlueBird launch. https://sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1780312/000149315222006357/form8k.htm
SpaceX manifest updates. The best guess at the current manifest is in this post.
There is a corresponding Discussion Thread (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=52191.0) to talk about the manifest.
The first four posts in this thread are maintained
1 - Current manifest and some links
2 - Past launches
3 - Smoliarm's graphical manifest
4 - links
Discussion of the table format should be done here: SpaceX Manifest Table Format Discussion (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=43214.0)

South Korea has signed a contract with SpaceX to launch five spy satellites by 2025, with the first launch on a Falcon 9 rocket by the end of 2023.
New boosters are also being introduced into the fleet to help that cadence, with booster B1073 expected to debut next month on a Starlink mission.
SpaceX is continuing its busy 2022 launch campaign with another Starlink mission today. A Falcon 9 booster on its 12th flight is scheduled to lift off at 11:14 AM EDT (15:14 UTC) from SLC-40.

Two more Falcon 9 rockets are scheduled to launch on Starlink missions May 8, followed as many as three additional Falcon 9 launches later next month from pads in Florida and California.

Two missions from ispace's website at https://ispace-inc.com/hakuto-r/eng/about/ (https://ispace-inc.com/hakuto-r/eng/about/)The latest press release indicates that the second mission is now scheduled for 2024.
"HAKUTO-R is a multinational commercial lunar exploration program operated by ispace. It includes ispace’s first two lunar missions: Mission 1, a soft lunar landing in 2022, and Mission 2, a lunar landing and deployment of a rover in 2023. For both missions, the HAKUTO-R lander will launch on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket."
The program includes ispace’s first two lunar missions: Mission 1 (M1), a soft lunar landing planned to launch in 2022*, and Mission 2 (M2), a lunar landing and deployment of a rover planned to launch in 2024*
* Current plan as of April 2022.
Now NET Q3:Quote from: Peter B de Selding tweetSpaceX launch of 11 SES Satellites O3b mPower MEO-orbit sats slips & reshuffles to 5 launches, not 4.
Was: 2 launches, each 3 sats, in Q2 2022, another 3-sat late 2022 & final 2 sats 2024.
Now: 3 launches, each w/ 2 sats, in Q3, then 3-sat launch Q4 & final 2 sats in 2024. [May 5]
U.S. defense contractor CACI International is funding an experiment to demonstrate space technologies for military use, including an alternative to GPS navigation.
As part of the company’s plan to grow its space business, CACI is launching two demonstration payloads on a York Space satellite scheduled to fly to low Earth orbit in January aboard the SpaceX Transporter 7 rideshare.

EchoStar 24 / Jupiter 3 is scheduled for launch on a Falcon 9 in early 2023 [May 5]
https://spacenews.com/echostar-says-jupiter-3-wont-be-ready-for-2022-launch/
Thanks to @JasonRainbow for confirming that @EchoStar's massive Jupiter-3 satellite will indeed be launching on #SpaceX Falcon Heavy, not Falcon 9 as previously reported.
With a mass of 9,200 kg, as per @pbdes, F9 never made much sense.
Added a bunch of upcoming SpaceX launches to NextSpaceflight and some booster assignments. https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/agency/upcoming/1/
Starlink Group 4-19 looking like mid June (I'd bet on LC-39A for that one) and using B1060-13
Starlink Group 4-20 by the end of the month (again betting on 39A but don't have confirmation on pads for none of these missions... well, except for the Vandy ones I guess lol)
And then in July and sort of in this order:
Starlink Group 3-1 from Vandenberg (betting on using B1063 for this one)
Starlink Group 4-21 from Florida (I'd say pad 40 is likely) using B1058-13
Starlink Group 4-22 from Florida (likely to be 39A imo)
Starlink Group 3-2 from Vandy (likely to use B1071 imo)
Starlink Group 4-25 from Florida (betting all my money on pad 40 for this one) using B1051-13

Thanks for the update! Looks like a busy July for SpaceX.
But why do you think B1063 would be reflown before B1071? Shouldn't it be the other way since B1071 is probably about ready now, while B1063 only just flew.
What about Starlink Group 4-23 and Group 4-24?Perhaps coming later down the line. They haven't been doing these missions in order for a while.
New release of orders. 5 to ULA on Vulcan all from Eastern range; 3 to SpaceX all on Falcon 9, 1 eastern, 2 Vandenberg.

In February, NASA announced that it had awarded SpaceX 3 additional Crew Dragon missions to the ISS. However, this notice says that SpaceX has been awarded 5 additional missions:
Kennedy Space Center has a special notice regarding 'Notice Of Intent (noi) To Issue A Sole Source Modification – NASA Commercial Crew Space Transportation Services'. See: sam.gov/opp/62c5cba7a9…
I suspect that whether Boeing or SpaceX gets the earlier launch in the years beyond 2023 will depend on how quickly Boeing gets thru CFT and into the rotation.The February award stipulates the contract runs through March 31, 2028.
The starting date of the February contract was in 2023 (if needed). But if you look at the current schedule, SpaceX-6 would be in 2023. Overall, I get an extra mission for SpaceX in 2023 (or in 2029 if Boeing-1 is ready in 2023) but other than that, it's one per year for SpaceX.
2023 SpaceX-6 and 7
2024 SpaceX-8 and Boeing-1
2025 SpaceX-9 and Boeing-2
2026 SpaceX-10 and Boeing-3
2027 SpaceX-11 and Boeing-4
2028 SpaceX-12 and Boeing-5
2029- SpaceX-13 and Boeing-6
2030- SpaceX-14 and one other mission to be awarded.

NASA Awards SpaceX More Crew Flights to Space Station
NASA has awarded five additional missions to Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) of Hawthorne, California, for crew transportation services to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract. The CCtCap modification brings the total missions for SpaceX to 14 and allows NASA to maintain an uninterrupted U.S. capability for human access to the space station until 2030, with two unique commercial crew industry partners.
This is a firm fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract modification for the Crew-10, Crew-11, Crew-12, Crew-13, and Crew-14 flights. The value of this modification for all five missions and related mission services is $1,436,438,446. The amount includes ground, launch, in-orbit, and return and recovery operations, cargo transportation for each mission, and a lifeboat capability while docked to the International Space Station. The period of performance runs through 2030 and brings the total CCtCap contract value with SpaceX to $4,927,306,350.
The award follows the agency issuing a notice of intent in June 2022 to purchase the additional missions. The current sole source modification does not preclude NASA from seeking future contract modifications for additional transportation services, as needed.
In 2014, NASA awarded the CCtCap contracts to Boeing and SpaceX through a public-private partnership as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Under CCtCap, NASA certifies that a provider’s space transportation system meets the agency’s requirements prior to flying missions with astronauts.
SpaceX was certified by NASA for crew transportation in November 2020. The company's fourth crew rotation mission for the agency, the Crew-4 mission, is currently in orbit aboard the space station. As part of the missions, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket transport up to four astronauts, along with critical cargo, to the space station.

Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU), a Space-as-a-Service satellite company focused on mission critical hardware manufacturing; multi-disciplinary engineering services; satellite design, production, launch planning, mission operations; and in-orbit support, today announced that it has signed a launch agreement with SpaceX for five launches, beginning in early 2023.
Iridium 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.
Iridium Announces Ninth SpaceX Launch
MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IRDM) today announced that it has reached an agreement with SpaceX to launch up to five of the company's remaining ground spare satellites from the Iridium® NEXT program, on its Falcon 9 rocket. Known as Iridium-9, the launch is planned to take place at Vandenberg Space Force Base in mid-2023. Earlier this year, Iridium celebrated the 25th anniversary of the first launch in Iridium's history, which also took place from Vandenberg on May 5, 1997. That first ever launch also carried five Iridium satellites to orbit on a Delta II rocket.
Iridium-9 will be Iridium's second rideshare with SpaceX. Previously, SpaceX conducted eight Iridium launches between January 2017 and January 2019. These launches delivered 75 satellites to LEO as part of the Iridium NEXT campaign, replacing the company's original satellite constellation. Since completion of the launch campaign in 2019, Iridium has 66 operational satellites, nine on-orbit spares and six additional spares on the ground. Up to five of those six ground spares are planned for launch as part of Iridium-9. All satellites in the upgraded Iridium constellation were built by Thales Alenia Space and carry the Aireon® hosted payload, which provides truly global, real-time surveillance of aircraft around the world.
"We have always said that when the right opportunity presented itself, we would launch many, if not all, of our remaining ground spares, and just such an opportunity came about," said Iridium CEO Matt Desch. "Our constellation is incredibly healthy; however, the spare satellites have no utility to us on the ground. We built extra satellites as an insurance policy, and with SpaceX's stellar track record, we look forward to another successful launch, which will position us even better to replicate the longevity of our first constellation."
Since the completion of the upgraded Iridium network in early 2019, Iridium's customer base grew by more than 730,000 subscribers in just three years and has more than 1.8 million today. With that subscriber growth came several new Iridium products and services, including the Iridium Certus® specialty broadband platform, Iridium's Global Maritime Distress and Safety System, Iridium Global Line of Sight® service for uncrewed and autonomous systems, and over 150 new Iridium narrowband and specialty broadband products brought to market by our partner ecosystem.
Iridium remains the only commercial satellite constellation with truly global coverage, offering weather-resilient L-band service from pole-to-pole. The constellation is divided into six polar orbiting planes that each include 11 operational crosslinked satellites. The satellites from Iridium-9 will be launched into a parking orbit, and after initial testing will be drifted to their assigned spare orbits.
The Norweigan government, through Space Norway, has ordered its first 300 kg MicroSAR satellite from British company Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL) to start work on a radar satellite system for maritime surveillance.Source: https://www.seradata.com/space-norway-orders-sstl-microsar-to-develop-maritime-radar-satellite-system/
The order, announced by SSTL on 26 August, is for MicroSAR, a satellite system used to detect relatively small vessels in large areas. Space Norway plans to launch the first MicroSAR into a 600-km polar low Earth orbit in early 2025 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 ride-share mission.
SpaceX is flying a second private Starship mission around the Moon, and Dennis and Akiko Tito are its first customers.

“When we participated in the Google Lunar XPRIZE we had about 20 employees, but now we’ve grown to more than 200 in Japan, the United States and Europe, each working every day with the ispace vision to achieve success. We are focused on each of our missions, but now that the launch window has been set for M1 we are ready for the challenge along with our HAKUTO-R partners,” said Takeshi Hakamada, Founder, Representative Director, and CEO of ispace. “For me this is a milestone on the road to realizing our vision, but I am already proud of our results. I look forward to watching the launch alongside all of our employees and those who have supported us.”
In addition to the launch window announcement, ispace released the following updates:
● As of September 2022, the final functional testing of the flight model at the IABG mbH Space Centre in Germany has been completed. The lander is now being prepared for transport to the launch site in Florida.
● In August 2022, ispace welcomed its 200th The total number of employees across its three offices in Japan, Luxembourg, and the United States now exceeds 200.
● After launch, M1 will be operated from the HAKUTO-R Mission Control Center (MCC) located in Tokyo’s central business district, Nihonbashi. The MCC will monitor the lander’s attitude, temperature, and other conditions, send commands and data to the lander, and receive images and video data during transit to the Moon as well as from the lunar surface.
● M1 will utilize a ground station network of the European Space Agency (ESA). The ESA’s Tracking Station Network (ESTRACK) is operated from the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany. M1 will use five of the ESTRACK network’s antennas across three continents, located in Kourou (French Guiana), New Norcia (Western Australia), Cebreros (Spain), Malargüe (Argentina) and Goonhilly (UK).
Future Mission Updates
Mission 2 planning is currently under way. Specific details of M2 payloads will be released at a later date.
In July 2022, NASA awarded Team Draper, which includes ispace subsidiary, ispace technologies U.S., inc. (ispace US), $73 million to deliver payloads including two communication relay satellites to lunar orbit as well as a suite of scientific experiments to the lunar surface. In addition to the NASA CLPS award, ispace US expects to carry additional commercial payloads on M3 to supplement the total award. ispace is in active negotiations to fill M3 orders and beyond.

Hisdesat, the government satellite services company, has formalized an agreement with the North American company SpaceX to put the two SPAINSAT New Generation satellites (I and II) into orbit. This is the new program developed by the Spanish company to improve the secure and defense communications of the Spanish Government, allied countries and various international organizations.
The agreement, which contemplates the use of two Falcon 9 launchers to put the two satellites into orbit, continues the agreement that the two companies signed in 2018 for the launch of the PAZ satellite.
On this occasion, the launches will be made from any of the two complexes that SpaceX uses in Florida, Cape Canaveral or NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
The SpainSat NG I and II will replace the current SpainSat and XTAR-EUR and will incorporate the latest technological advances in communications to reinforce their capacities, security levels and resilience.
The first of the devices, the SpainSat NG I, will be put into orbit in 2024, while the SpainSat NG II will be launched in 2025. They will have a useful life of about 15 years, with which they will be at full capacity until the threshold of 2040.
Another operator of the OPSAT300 platform is Imagesat International, operating the EROS NG constellation that, by 2026, will comprise six Ultra High performance, military-grade earth observation satellites. ... By the second half of 2022, Imagesat expects to deploy its satellite, the first of two EROS C3 satellites. The second is scheduled to enter service in 2026.
EROS-C3 is also based on the OPSAT-3000 platform, but it will deploy with multispectral sensing capability. This satellite will maintain 38 cm resolution in the PAN and add the MS capability with 76 cm resolution, covering a swath of ~12.5 km. .... EROS-C3 will be launched from the USA on a Falcon-9 launcher.

Satellite operator Ovzon, which lost its slot on one of the last Ariane 5 launches because of satellite production delays, says its Ovzon 3 GEO satellite will now launch on a Falcon 9 in the 3rd quarter of the year.
Ovzon reschedules the launch of Ovzon 3 and selects SpaceX as the launch provider
FRI, FEB 03, 2023 21:20 CET Report this content
Ovzon AB has been informed by the satellite manufacturer Maxar that there will be additional delays in the finalization of the satellite Ovzon 3. To accommodate an updated launch window, Ovzon has also shifted launch provider to SpaceX with liftoff on a Falcon 9 rocket targeted between July and September 2023.
Due to the delays in the production of the Ovzon 3 satellite, the company has been engaged with the current launch provider Arianespace to find a new launch opportunity, which Arianespace ultimately could not accommodate. Accordingly, Ovzon has finalized an agreement with SpaceX to ensure flexibility and the most optimal timing to launch the satellite when it is ready for liftoff. Ovzon 3 will be launched by a flight-proven Falcon 9 rocket later this year from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The delay of Ovzon 3 is expected to increase the total cost of the satellite project with approximately USD 25 million. The delay will have no effect on Ovzon's current business commitments. The company has secured access to strategic satellite capacity that ensures ongoing service delivery and future sales of Ovzon’s industry leading SATCOM-as-a-Service. In addition, as set out in a separate press release, Ovzon has secured additional financing.
“While we are clearly disappointed in the continued delays in production of the satellite, we remain perfectly confident with the market demand of Ovzon 3, evidenced by the increasing demand from current and new customers around the world. The underlying capability and technology will be the catalyst for a paradigm shift in mobility, performance, and resiliency in delivering Ovzon’s SATCOM-as-a-Service. We are working relentlessly with Maxar, SpaceX and other stakeholders to finalize the satellite and launch Ovzon 3 into orbit at first available opportunity", says Per Norén, CEO of Ovzon.
Webcast
Ovzon’s CEO Per Norén and CFO Noora Jayasekara will answer questions at a webcast on February 6, 2023, at 10.00 am CET.

Lunar rover developer Astrolab has signed an agreement with SpaceX to transport its first rover to the moon on a future Starship flight.
Astrolab said it has arranged to fly the Flexible Logistics and Exploration (FLEX) rover it is developing as a payload on a Starship lunar lander mission scheduled for as soon as mid-2026. The companies did not disclose the value of the agreement, which Astrolab says is the first commercial contract SpaceX has signed for lunar cargo delivery.

Space Systems Command assigns 12 missions for National Security Space Launch Phase 2 FY23 Order Year
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Space Systems Command (SSC) recently assigned 12 National Security Space Launch (NSSL) service missions under the NSSL Phase 2 Launch Service Procurement contract for Fiscal Year 2023. Six missions were awarded to Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) for the Space Development Agency (SDA) Tranche 1TrackingLayer (T1TL)-B, SDA T1TL-C, SDA T1TL-D, SDA T1TL-E, SDA T1TR-C, and U.S. Space Force (USSF)-31...
There are four SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer launches. SDA’s Transport Layer will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms. These are the second through fifth launches planned for the Tranche 1 Transport Layer. They will launch using SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets from the Western range into polar orbit.
The USSF is also ordering three SDA Tranche 1 Tracking Layer launches. SDA’s Tracking Layer will provide global indications, warning, tracking, and targeting of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems. They will launch using ULA’s Vulcan and SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets from the Western range into polar orbit.
USSF-31 is a classified mission that will launch onboard a SpaceX Falcon rocket from the Eastern range.

NASA Awards SpaceX Launch Services Task Order for CubeSat Mission
NASA has awarded Space Exploration Technologies Corp. of Hawthorne, California, one task order to launch two CubeSat Launch Initiative missions as part of the agency’s Venture-class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) launch services contract.
The CubeSats are targeted to launch no earlier than 2025 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. NASA will specify payloads closer to launch.
Building on NASA’s previous procurement efforts to foster development of a growing U.S. commercial launch market, VADR provides Federal Aviation Administration-licensed commercial launch services for payloads that can tolerate higher risk. By using a lower level of mission assurance, and commercial best practices for launching rockets, these highly flexible contracts help broaden access to space through lower launch costs.
SpaceX is one of 13 companies NASA selected for VADR contracts in 2022. NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, manages the VADR contracts.

At press bfg right now, ESA DG Josef Aschbacher says they've decided to launch EarthCARE on a Falcon 9 instead of Vega-C both bc Vega-C return to flight will be delayed due to test failure and spacecraft requires cutouts to fairing and don't want to make changes at this point.

I don't know what launch this NGA Rocket Launching notice is for.
The timing matches a Starlink Group 6-x launch (except that the shift between the first and second days is 35 minutes instead of 25-26 minutes). The location doesn't exactly match prior launches, but it's in the general area.

Globalstar picks SpaceX to refresh LEO constellation (https://spacenews.com/globalstar-picks-spacex-to-refresh-leo-constellation/)
September 1, 2023
Globalstar has contracted SpaceX to launch Apple-backed satellites in 2025 to replenish its low Earth orbit (LEO) connectivity constellation.
The operator said in an Aug. 30 regulatory filing it will pay a total $64 million to launch the first set of satellites ordered last year from MDA, which is using Rocket Lab to supply chassis for the spacecraft.
While the company did not give further details about the launch agreement, its $327 million contract with MDA covered 17 satellites for deliveries anticipated in 2025. The manufacturing contract also includes an option for up to nine additional satellites at $11.4 million each.

NASA Announces Launch Services for Pair of Space Weather Satellites (http://)
SEP 29, 2023
NASA has selected SpaceX of Hawthorne, California, and its Falcon 9 rocket to provide the launch service for the agency’s TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) mission.
NASA has selected SpaceX of Hawthorne, California, and its Falcon 9 rocket to provide the launch service for the agency’s TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) mission, a pair of small satellites that will study space weather and how the Sun’s energy affects Earth’s magnetic environment, or magnetosphere
[...]
NASA’s Launch Services Program, based out of the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, in partnership with NASA’s Heliophysics Small Explorers program, announces the launch service as part of the agency’s VADR (Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare) launch services contract.
I'm assuming TRACERS will be on a Transporter mission until I hear anything definitive to the contrary.
I'm assuming TRACERS will be on a Transporter mission until I hear anything definitive to the contrary.
I'm assuming TRACERS will be on a Transporter mission until I hear anything definitive to the contrary.
As of August last year the satellites were supposed to be ready for launch by July 2024. So Transporter 11 or 12 (currently NET June and NET October) are possible.
The NASA announcement of the TRACERS launch did not state how the spacecraft would launch other than on a Falcon 9, and did not provide a launch date. NASA spokesperson Leejay Lockhart said Sept. 29 that TRACERS will be the primary payload of a rideshare mission going to sun-synchronous orbit no earlier than April 2025.
With $398M from @defis_eu, @esa now fully integrated into #iris2 secure-comms constellation & development by #SpaceRise consortium; contracts to launch 4 @GalileoGNSS sats on 2 @SpaceX Falcon 9s in 2024 signed.
BRAMPTON, ON, Oct. 25, 2023 /CNW/ - MDA Ltd. (TSX: MDA), a leading provider of advanced technology and services to the rapidly expanding global space industry, announced today at its Earth Insight customer conference that it has selected SpaceX to be the launch service provider for CHORUS, MDA's next generation Earth observation constellation. CHORUS is targeted to launch on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket in the Q4 2025 launch window from Florida.
A collaborative multi-sensor constellation, CHORUS will bring together diverse and unique imagery and data sources and provide a new level of near real-time insight and innovative Earth observation services. Operating in a unique mid-inclination orbit, CHORUS will be able to image day or night, regardless of weather conditions, with daily access of up to 95% of the coverage area. From an industry-leading 700km-wide imaging swath down to sub-metre high resolution, CHORUS will provide the most extensive and unrivalled Earth observation radar imaging capacity available on the market in a single mission.
"The production of CHORUS is well underway and we are looking forward to once again working with SpaceX to launch our next generation Earth observation capability," said Mike Greenley, CEO of MDA. "The Earth is big, dynamic and evolving daily, and our ability to see, measure and analyze what is happening in near real-time – and over time – is imperative to meeting the needs of our global customer base. The insight that CHORUS will provide to governments, companies and organizations around the world will drive decisions and action, and will help to solve some of the biggest problems facing our planet."
Both CHORUS satellites will be placed into the same orbit, with CHORUS X trailing CHORUS C by 60 minutes. The orbit will be an inclined, non-sun-synchronous orbit, at an altitude of approximately 600 km and inclination of 53.5°.
ESA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency are gearing up for a momentous milestone in Earth observation as launch of the EarthCARE satellite approaches.
Following years of rigorous development and extensive testing, the satellite is now undergoing its final round of tests in Europe before being shipped to the launch site early next year – bringing us one step closer to gaining unprecedented insights into the role that clouds and aerosols play in the climate system.
The satellite is scheduled to be packed up and shipped to the Vandenberg launch site in California in early March, where it will be prepared for liftoff on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in May.

Confirmed that the SSC table is correct. ULA is launching USSF-57 and SpaceX is launching GPS IIIF-1.
Thierry Breton, the EU's internal market commissioner, confirmed today that the European Commission has reached a 180 million euro ($192m) deal with SpaceX for two Falcon 9 launches set for April and July next year, each deploying two Galileo navigation satellites.
The agreement is still pending the conclusion of a security review, since it will involve the first-ever export of a Galileo satellite outside of European territory.
Embracing the New Space approach, it has taken just 36 months to develop and build ESA’s Arctic Weather Satellite. Now complete, this remarkable microsatellite has been shipped from OHB in Sweden to Germany where it is starting a series of tests to make sure that it will survive liftoff next year and its subsequent life in orbit.
Once these tests have been completed, the satellite will be shipped back to OHB Sweden some final checks before it is shipped to SpaceX’s launch site in Vandenberg, California in April. Liftoff is slated for 1 June 2024 on a Falcon 9 rocket.

Written by Amazon Staff
Additional capacity will supplement existing launch contracts to support Project Kuiper’s satellite deployment schedule.
Amazon has signed a contract with SpaceX for three Falcon 9 launches to support deployment plans for Project Kuiper, Amazon’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network. Project Kuiper satellites were designed from the start to accommodate multiple launch providers and vehicles, allowing us to reduce schedule risk and move faster in our mission to connect unserved and underserved communities around the world. Our earlier procurement of 77 heavy-lift rockets from Arianespace, Blue Origin, and United Launch Alliance (ULA) provides enough capacity to launch the majority of our satellite constellation, and the additional launches with SpaceX offer even more capacity to support our deployment schedule.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is a reusable, two-stage launch vehicle designed for the reliable and safe transport of people and payloads into Earth orbit and beyond, and it has completed more than 270 successful launches to date. Project Kuiper has contracted three Falcon 9 launches, and these missions are targeted to lift off beginning in mid-2025.
Project Kuiper recently launched two prototype satellites, and tests from the mission have helped validate our satellite design and network architecture. We are preparing to start satellite manufacturing ahead of a full-scale deployment beginning in the first half of 2024, and we expect to have enough satellites deployed to begin early customer pilots in the second half of 2024.

NASA awarded L2 Solutions DBA SEOPS, LLC a task order to secure the launch of two 6U CubeSats for the agency’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley as part of the agency’s Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator (PTD) series of missions. The demonstration flight tests the operation of a variety of novel CubeSat technologies in low Earth orbit, providing significant enhancements to the performance of these small and effective spacecraft. Over the course of multiple planned PTD missions, the successful demonstration of new subsystem technologies will increase small spacecraft capabilities, enabling direct infusion into a wider range of future science, and exploration missions. The two nanosatellites, PTD-4 and PTD-R, will launch on SpaceX’s Transporter-11 mission out of Vandenberg Space Force Base in Lompoc, California.
NASA awarded SpaceX a task order to launch Dione under the agency’s CubeSat Launch Initiative. The 6U CubeSat from Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, will quantify how Earth’s ionosphere and thermosphere respond to electromagnetic and kinetic energy inputs from the magnetosphere. The mission is a collaboration with Catholic University of America, Utah State University, and Virginia Tech. NASA’s Science Mission Directorate Heliophysics Division is funding this effort. Dione is targeted to launch no earlier than mid-2024.
NASA awarded SpaceX a task order to launch ARCSTONE under the agency’s CubeSat Launch Initiative. The 6U CubeSat, built at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, will carry a spectrometer to low Earth orbit to establish a lunar calibration standard that will improve weather and climate sensors. ARCSTONE will use the Moon’s spectral reflectance for Earth science observations and is targeted to launch no earlier than mid-2025.
NASA awarded SpaceX a task order for the launch of TSIS-2 (Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor-2). TSIS-2 will measure the Sun’s energy input to Earth. Since 1978, various satellites have measured the Sun’s brightness above Earth’s atmosphere. TSIS-2 will add solar irradiance measurements. Unlike its predecessor TSIS-1, which operates from the International Space Station, TSIS-2 will ride on a free-flying spacecraft. Managed by NASA Goddard, TSIS-2 has instruments from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. A launch date is under review.

Launch vehicle secured! 🚀 Alongside @VoyagerSH + @AirbusSpace, we are thrilled to announce we have selected @SpaceX’s Starship to launch #Starlab into #LEO. Learn more about this historic launch here:
Starlab Space Selects SpaceX’s Starship for Historic Launch
Issued by Starlab Space LLC.
Washington DC, January 31, 2024 — Starlab Space LLC (Starlab Space), the transatlantic joint venture between Voyager Space and Airbus, today announced the selection of SpaceX to launch the Starlab commercial space station to low-Earth orbit (LEO). Starship, SpaceX’s fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond, will launch Starlab in a single mission prior to the decommissioning of the International Space Station.
“SpaceX’s history of success and reliability led our team to select Starship to orbit Starlab,” said Dylan Taylor, Chairman and CEO, Voyager Space. “SpaceX is the unmatched leader for high-cadence launches and we are proud Starlab will be launched to orbit in a single flight by Starship.”
As a continuously crewed, free-flying space station, Starlab will serve a global customer base of space agencies, researchers, and companies, ensuring a continued human presence in LEO and a seamless transition of microgravity research from the International Space Station into the new commercial space station era. Starlab will launch on a single flight, be fully outfitted on the ground, and ready to permanently host four crew members in LEO to conduct microgravity research and advanced scientific discovery.
“Starlab’s single-launch solution continues to demonstrate not only what is possible, but how the future of commercial space is happening now,” said Tom Ochinero, Senior Vice President of Commercial Business at SpaceX. “The SpaceX team is excited for Starship to launch Starlab to support humanity’s continued presence in low-Earth orbit on our way to making life multiplanetary.”
The Starlab team has advanced through multiple program milestones over the past year, including completion of the Systems Requirements Review, System Definition Review, Human in the Loop testing, and more. Starlab Space recently announced a teaming agreement with Northrop Grumman and plans to collaborate with the European Space Agency. Additional Starlab partners include Hilton Hotels and The Ohio State University.
Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests 180 days of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”),1 commencing upon grant, to use its Castle Rock, Colorado Ku-band earth station, KL92, to provide launch and early orbit phase (“LEOP”) services for the EUTELSAT 36D satellite.2 EUTELSAT 36D is expected to launch no later than March 27, 2024.3 Intelsat expects the LEOP period to last approximately 180 days.
Because of the Vega-C problems, Arianespace loses LUXEOSys.
It is scheduled to launch on Falcon-9 between Oct. 2024 and Jan. 2025.

The launch date of our military's second reconnaissance satellite has been tentatively set for the 3rd of next month. Unless there are variables such as weather, it is scheduled to be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida, USA.
A military official explained, “Unit 2 is our military’s second reconnaissance satellite, but it is our first launch as a SAR satellite.” The military is pursuing the 425 project to secure reconnaissance satellites, which are the core of a ‘kill chain’ (preemptive strike) against North Korea.
Twenty-two years later, the German Space Agency at DLR and NASA have extended this highly successful mission for the second time with GRACE-C, which succeeds GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO).
The 'C' stands for 'Continuity', which recognises the consistency of the measurement series of these environmental missions.
<snip>
The launch of the new GRACE-C satellite pair is scheduled for 2028, on board a Falcon 9 rocket from the US company SpaceX.
The mission will be composed of a pair of identical satellites flying one behind the other, roughly 60 to 190 miles (100 to 300 kilometers) apart, in a polar orbit. The spacecraft will fly at an altitude of roughly 300 miles (500 kilometers).
