That shuffling in SpaceX’s launch schedule would push back the next Starlink mission from Cape Canaveral until mid-October. SpaceX officials have said they prioritize missions with customer payloads.

Yeh the call was finally made yesterday to call off Sep 30 for launch. It was not surprising to see that today the SLD45 didn't release any forecast for that mission. ASOG will support Galaxy 33&34 and this mission will fly after Hotbird 13F. Kinda glad USSF-44 is double RTLS with no droneship needed 😅

The NGA Rocket Launching notice is canceled TBD. I expect that the Space Debris notices will also be canceled soon.

Ben Cooper's Launch Photography Viewing Guide, updated September 28; already partially obsolete within hours; my bold:

Quote

The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch four astronauts on NASA's Crew-5 mission on October TBA, around 11am-noon EDT. A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the Galaxy 33 & 34 communication satellites on October 6 at 7:07pm EDT. Sunset is 7:03pm. The launch window stretches to 8:14pm. A Falcon 9 from pad 40 will launch the Hotbird 13F comsat for Eutelsat on October 13 at 11:25pm EDT. The launch window stretches two hours. Upcoming launches include more Starlink satellites from pad 40 on October TBD. And a Falcon Heavy will launch USSF-44 for the US Space Force from pad 39A in late October TBA. The side boosters will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch.

The FAA Current Operations Plan has this as October 18:

STARLINK GROUP 4-36 CAPE CANAVERAL SFS, FL

... but I wouldn't put too much faith in that. They also have Hotbird 13F as October 13 UTC, even though it has slipped to October 15.

Hotbird 13F is now correctly listed as 15 October UTC, with Starlink 4-36 still on for 18 October UTC.

I had noticed that but didn't think it was worth commenting on. So far there are neither an FAA TFR nor an NGA notice for any date, and those are what really count.

Ken the Bin · « **Reply #28 on:** 10/15/2022 08:23 pm »

And now the NGA notices are out, for the 20th (the two Space Debris notices are the same notice, for two different Navigational Areas). Meanwhile the FAA ATC Current Operations Plan still says the 18th. It will get straightened out when the FAA TFRs are issued.

The warning periods are long enough to support same-day backup times.

Maps from the NGA notices. ASDS 657km downrange. As is often the case, the space debris area appears to be incomplete.

The FAA TFRs aren't out yet, but the 18th and 19th have been removed from the FAA ATC Current Operations Plan.

L-3 launch weather forecast only 20% GO but improves to 60% next day

Ken the Bin · « **Reply #37 on:** 10/17/2022 05:50 pm »

The 45th Weather Squadron seems to be a little confused. Issued 27 Sept 2022, valid 30 Sept 2022, next forecast 28 Sept 2022.

"This forecast is based on the 0500L National Hurricane Center official forecast for Major Hurricane Ian."
