Lynk Tower 1, the Virginia-based startup’s first commercial satellite, launched to orbit in April on a SpaceX Transporter 4 rideshare mission.Lynk had planned to deploy its second satellite on Transporter 4 via Spaceflight’s Sherpa tug, but had to find an alternative after the orbital transfer vehicle could not fly on the mission.This second satellite is now slated to fly with two other Lynk spacecraft on a SpaceX Transporter 6 mission slated for December, Miller said.Four satellites in orbit would be enough to launch initial text messaging, emergency alerts and IoT services.By the end of 2023, Lynk expects to have deployed more than 50 satellites to increase satellite revisit times to every 15-30 minutes.
5/x: 2 hr launch window on Saturday [September 3] opens at 2:17pm EDT / 18:1[7] UTC.

Per this new Launch Closure Flyer, the beginning of the launch period is now Thursday, September 8 (still at 22:00 UTC). Launch opportunities daily still through Tuesday, September 13.Quote from: PSCAAlaska Aerospace will open the launch window from 08 September - 13 September 2022. Launch attempts will take place within a three and a half hour window beginning at 2:00 PM local.Launch is a complex process requiring multiple elements to work together. It’s likely the launch could be postponed, or “scrubbed”, multiple times to allow for minor rocket adjustments or adverse weather conditions (e.g., winds, heavy rain/snow). Also, the launch team must take a safety down day after three consecutive days of launch attempts.

Our team will continue conducting rehearsal and fill/drain ops to maintain readiness for launch. We'll fly as soon as we receive our launch license, expected sometime after Labor Day.

This is a firm fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract modification for the Crew-10, Crew-11, Crew-12, Crew-13, and Crew-14 flights.
NASA and Axiom Space have signed a mission order for the second private astronaut mission to the International Space Station to take place in the second quarter of 2023.
Eric Berger @SciGuySpaceNASA confirms purchase of five additional Crew Dragon missions from SpaceX, Crews 10-14, through 2030. Cost is $14.3 billion, or $71 million per seat. This likely ensures that SpaceX will fly 14 operational ISS crew missions, with Boeing's Starliner flying six.
Eric Berger @SciGuySpaceSpaceX launched its 39th rocket of 2022 last night from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The company has now launched a Falcon 9 every 6.2 days this year, putting them on pace for a total of 55 to 60. I've heard the company's goal is 100 orbital flights next year.QuoteElon Musk @elonmuskYeah, aiming for up to 100 flights next year

William Harwood @cbs_spacenewsSLS/Artemis 1 (11:18am): SCRUB! It's official; NASA has called off today's countdown after multiple unsuccessful attempts to stop a hydrogen leak in an 8-inch quick-disconnect fitting at the base of the SLS core stage; repair/recycle options TBD
William Harwood @cbs_spacenewsSLS/Artemis 1: Nelson continued, "if they decide that's the case, then it'll be an October launch;" launch period 26 opens 9/19 and runs through 10/4; launch period 27 opens 10/17 and runs through 10/31; Nelson said a rollback likely would push launch to mid October
A mid-October launch attempt should be a night launch. Ben Cooper also suggests this.http://www.launchphotography.com/Launch_Viewing_Guide.html[September 3 update]QuoteNASA is now targeting October at the earliest, possibly October 17 or 19 at the earliest in the middle of the night EDT. Check back later for more info on viewing. Check here for info on close viewing tickets. The Visitor Complex has stated that tickets from August are valid for one more launch attempt.

Quote from: scr00chy on 09/04/2022 01:10 amAccording to the official mission page, it's 51 Starlink sats + SHERPA.Also, the booster is B1052.7 instead of B1067.6 as previously reported. That's a pretty wild turnaround because B1052 was still lying in Port Canaveral on August 17:Also, same source, ASDS is Just Read the Instructions.Backup launch opportunity is Monday, September 5 at 9:39 p.m. ET (01:39 UTC on September 6).

Clarification regarding time of launch from Ben Cooper's Launch Photography Viewing Guide, updated September 3:QuoteNASA is now targeting likely October at the earliest, possibly October 17 or 19 at the earliest at 3am EDT if those days.= 07:00 UTC
NASA is now targeting likely October at the earliest, possibly October 17 or 19 at the earliest at 3am EDT if those days.
Given ASDS turnaround time, the ASDS for this launch should be A Shortfall of Gravitas.
