In response to a query from Ars, a spokesperson from the rocket's primary customer, Astrobotic, said the mission is targeted for a launch during the first quarter of 2023, i.e., before the end of March. A spokesperson for Vulcan's manufacturer, United Launch Alliance, did not specify a time frame, saying a launch date would only be set after additional testing was completed.While there is no official launch date, some interesting clues have turned up in the last week or two, and it's therefore possible to make an educated guess. With much work left to do before the heavy-lift rocket takes flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida, a reasonable target for a no-earlier launch date is May 2023....There are other timing constraints as well. United Launch Alliance has a very important upcoming launch for NASA and Boeing. About a week ago, NASA confirmed that the first crewed flight on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft will launch on an Atlas V rocket in April. Because United Launch Alliance's Atlas V and Vulcan rockets will share a launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Space Launch Complex-41, this critical human spaceflight will probably take place before Vulcan.This very likely pushes the debut of Vulcan into May. The readiness of Peregrine, and progress made during Vulcan's testing, may push that date later into the year.

Later in the year, SpaceX plans to launch the Jupiter 3 satellite to provide internet services for EchoStar’s Hughes Network Systems. That launch is expected no earlier than May.
WASHINGTON — SpaceX will attempt a static-fire test of all 33 engines in its Starship booster as soon as Feb. 9, a test that could allow the company to attempt an orbital launch a month later.Speaking at the Federal Aviation Administration Commercial Space Transportation Conference here Feb. 8, Gwynne Shotwell, president and chief operating officer of SpaceX, announced the impending test, the final major technical milestone before the vehicle’s first orbital launch attempt....A successful test, she said, could set the company up for that orbital launch attempt soon. “That first flight test is going to be really exciting. It’s going to happen in the next month or so.”

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, February 12 at 12:10 a.m. ET (05:10 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 55 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. If needed, there are additional launch opportunities the same day at 1:51 a.m. ET (06:51 UTC), and 3:32 a.m. ET (08:32 UTC), with backup opportunities also available on Sunday, February 12 at 11:55 p.m. ET (04:55 UTC on February 13) and on Monday, February 13 at 1:39 a.m. ET (06:39 UTC), and 3:07 a.m. ET (08:07 UTC).The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III Space Vehicle 04, GPS III Space Vehicle 05, Inspiration4, Ax-1, Nilesat 301, and six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
