Map from the NGA notice. Booster splashdown 863km downrange.

Note: the curve in the ground track is not a dogleg, just an arc in the great circle route depiction of the orbit.

I received this NGA notice.  It doesn't fit the time reported by NextSpaceflight however it is in line with Ben Cooper: "The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Eutelsat 10B communication satellite from pad 40 on November 20 around 10 p.m. EST."

Also, the NGA notice for a launch today (November 16) is still active.  This is a totally new notice, not a cancel-and-replace.

Doug departed Port Canaveral overnight and is heading downrange to recover the fairing for the Eutelsat-10B mission

The booster, B1049, will be expended.

[zubenelgenubi]

Shouldn't B1049.11 roll out to the pad soon for a static fire?

[gongora]

new NOTMAR replacing the one Ken posted above is 1 day later

[Salo]

Сastling?

Hard to tell yet

[EspenU]

Shouldn't B1049.11 roll out to the pad soon for a static fire?

Do we know that it needs a static fire?

Not for sure, but it's been sitting around for over a year, so I'd assume they'd want to do a SF.

L-2 launch weather forecast still only 30% GO increasing slightly to 40% a day later

**Launch Update**

#EUTELSAT 10B satellite now planned for #launch on Monday November 21st 21:52 Eastern Time (02:52 UTC, Tuesday November 22nd) from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Eutelsat 10B communication satellite from pad 40 on November 21 at 9:52-10:02 p.m. EST.

Only a 10-minute launch window. Isn't that unusual for a GTO launch?
