Ben Cooper has a launch time:

The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral will launch the Starlink 22 internet satellite batch on March 24 at 4:58am EDT.

[zubenelgenubi]

An interesting juxtaposition of launches, currently scheduled less than 24 hours apart.

March 24 - Starlink flight 23 (x60) [v1.0 L22] - Falcon 9-112 (B1060.6 S) - Canaveral SLC-40 - 08:58 UTC

March 25 - OneWeb flight 5 (x36) - Soyuz-2-1B/Fregat-M (B15000-005/123-05 (ST30)) - Vostochniy, 1S - 02:47 UTC

Launch time is 04:58 UTC (12:58 AM Eastern) on March 24th.

I suspect he has mis-labeled the EDT launch time as UTC.

It's a gray and gloomy morning but the work never stops and OCISLY droneship is about to depart for the Starlink V1 L22 mission.

90% GO on primary and backup days. Low secondary risks.

Here are the new NGA notices along with the full set of estimated launch times.

Primary Day = Wednesday, March 24 at ~08:38 UTC.
Backup Day #1 = Thursday, March 25 at ~08:16 UTC.
Backup Day #2 = Friday, March 26 at ~07:55 UTC.
Backup Day #3 = Saturday, March 27 at ~07:33 UTC.
Backup Day #4 = Sunday, March 28 at ~07:12 UTC.
Backup Day #5 = Monday, March 29 at ~06:50 UTC.
Backup Day #6 = Tuesday, March 30 at ~06:28 UTC.

Based on the validity period of the weather forecast, I've adjusted my estimated launch times, which now also brings my Primary Day launch time in agreement with Next Spaceflight, Spaceflight Now, and Ben Cooper.

I've also enhanced my offset rules for NGA notices for better accuracy in the future.

Primary Day = Wednesday, March 24 at ~08:58 UTC.
Backup Day #1 = Thursday, March 25 at ~08:36 UTC.
Backup Day #2 = Friday, March 26 at ~08:15 UTC.
Backup Day #3 = Saturday, March 27 at ~07:53 UTC.
Backup Day #4 = Sunday, March 28 at ~07:32 UTC.
Backup Day #5 = Monday, March 29 at ~07:10 UTC.
Backup Day #6 = Tuesday, March 30 at ~06:48 UTC.

Progress so far on fairing recovery vessel Shelia Bordelon. They have a bit to go to pass the booster LZ then about 100 km past that for the fairing sweet spot. No update on OCISLY as Finn is a hard tug to track without AIS. #Starlink #SpaceXFleet
