I had to remove bolding in the table because it's done per cell and uses too many characters towards the post limit. I may not be able to keep all of the current year launches in the first post much longer.
As of April 2024, the program reported it was investigating four mission data unit technical issues. The program’s efforts to resolve these technical challenges resulted in revisions to the program’s projected satellite deliveries. These revisions delayed the first two satellites by an average of 10 months and the remaining eight satellites under contract by an average of 17 months. The first delivery of a GPS IIIF satellite, previously projected for February 2026, is now slated for November 2026.
This baseline schedule established the earliest delivery date for the first GPS IIIF satellite as January 2028, while the latest delivery date for the satellite was established as July 2028 (this schedule was then accelerated, as discussed below). Using Space Force data, we found that if GPS IIIF satellites deliver at even the earliest date and each satellite launches 6 months after delivery, the constellation’s probability of providing 24 operational M-code-capable satellites will fall short of a 95 percent confidence level from early 2028 through late 2032.16 If satellite deliveries begin at the tail end of the range in July 2028 and each satellite launches 6 months after delivery, the constellation’s probability of providing 24 operational M-code-capable satellites will fall short of a 95 percent confidence level from early 2028 through early 2033.
Any thoughts of capturing the successful SH catch in the OFT-5 "Return" column? Wasn't expecting a lonely "X" there.
Do we really not see another Falcon Heavy until next September?My gosh, that is a major bummer.I wonder if Superheavy will have more flights than FH by that time?
In a Europa Clipper press conference, a SpaceX representative said there are 3 "cormmercial" Falcon Heavy's scheduled to launch next year.

The Lumen-1 mission is a demonstrator satellite mission in support of Lumen Orbit’s goal of building an in-orbit data center for earth observation satellites and other users. Lumen-1 is Lumen Orbit’s first satellite and will demonstrate a new type of satellite service. Following these demonstrations, Lumen-1 will passively deorbit within 6 months due to its VLEO operational orbit with no debris casualty risk.The Lumen-1 experimental spacecraft will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare and inserted into a 45 +/- 1.1 degree inclination orbit with a perigee and apogee of 515 km +/- 25 km.
Launch Window Dates: 31st May - 15th October 2025Lumen-1 Launch Configuration: Smallsat measuring 39 x 39 x 60 cmTotal spacecraft mass at launch, including all propellants and fluids: ~49.74 kg
Very excited to announce the launch @lumenorbit with founders @johnstonphil, @Ezrafeilden, and @AdiOltean! 😃 We are building a massive cloud compute and relay satellite constellation, with our first launch in May next year! 🛰️🛸🚀
21 launches remain on the manifest in 2024 with 43 days to go
This STA is intended to cover pre-launch testing on the RRT-1 mission. Tests involve fairing re-rad operations at Pad 40 at Cape Canaveral AFS or Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center. This STA is not for flight.Pre-launch checkout of TTC links for commercial payload mission, including operation of the fairing re-rad system, prior to flight.
Is "RRT-1" a new mission in the launch manifest?
