SFN is also reporting NET August for Es'hail. I would agree that this looks very unlikely at this point based on the lack of FCC permits.https://spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/
This flight and CRS-16 might be from different pads. There was an FCC filing for a launch from 39A (which doesn't guarantee it's from 39A, but that seems to be the plan when it was filed.)
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral will launch the Es'Hail-2 communication satellite for Qatar from pad 39A on November TBD.
The flight for Es'hail 2
Es'hailSat confirmed a Q4 2018 NET earlier today. https://twitter.com/eshailsat/status/1024898547165093890Edit: just realized that "NET earlier today" is sneaky lil' palindrome
Es’hail-2 is set to go into space this fall or early winter aboard a SpaceX vehicle; a specific launch date is not available.
Given that Es'hail will not use a booster for the third time, it would have to be 1047.2 or a 105x.It's 16 days away - surely we should be able to uncover this.

Not even info if a core will be re-used. We will know more beginning of November.
