While we originally set out for 170, we actually revised the manifest to 165 this summer based on business and manifest needs. We have two more Falcon launches to go in 2025 for extra credit for a total of 1-6-7 🤣! Worth noting that SL6-99 was also our last single stick from 39A for some time as we put full focus on Falcon Heavy launches and ramping Starship from the Cape!

Rocket Lab @RocketLabLIFTOFF for Electron! "Don’t Be Such A Square" is on its way to space for the @USSpaceForce and @USSF_SSC
Jonathan McDowell @planet4589LAUNCH at 0503:00 UTC Dec 18 of Electron from Wallops MARS with the STP-S30 payload. Yay kudos to @RocketLab for the superimposed UTC clock as well as T+ times... every launch cast should do this
Rocket Lab @RocketLabMISSION SUCCESS! Payload deployment confirmed for the STP-S30 mission for @USSpaceForce and @USSF_SSC and 4x DiskSats to a 550km LEO 🛰️��

So I have checked all sources including NOTAMs and marine navigation warnings (including https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_spt and the regular web conference materials between ATC control in North-Central America on CADENA OIS) - all of them have Starlink Group 6-88 and now CSG-3's launches listed, but NOT Group 10-36 (CADENA OIS remains the only source to list it). Near-term NOTAMs and marine navigation warnings also only shows Starlink Group 6-88's drop zones.So it looks like this launch was never planned for the rest of December to begin with (and now even less likely with the Starlink satellite LOC issue from Group 11-30).
Blue Origin @blueoriginWe are standing down from today’s NS-37 mission after the launch team observed an issue with our built-in checks prior to the flight. We are assessing our next opportunity for launch.
Blue Origin @blueoriginNS-37 Update: Launch is no earlier than Saturday, December 20. Our window opens at 8:00 AM CST / 14:00 UTC. The live webcast will begin 20 minutes prior to launch. Mission updates:
2028TBD - NGP-1 (NG-OPIR-Polar 1) - Falcon-9/Vulcan-VC?? - Canaveral SLC 40/412029TBD - NGP-2 (NG-OPIR-Polar 2) - Falcon-9/Vulcan-VC?? - Canaveral SLC 40/41
The first NGP satellite is currently slated to launch in September 2028, and the second satellite is expected to launch in September 2030, the SSC spokesperson said.

Looks like this one will not launch in 2025 after all. From the press release of today's Electron launch:Quote‘The Wisdom God Guides’ mission was Rocket Lab’s 79th overall Electron mission and final scheduled launch for 2025. The next Electron launch is slated to take place in early Q1 2026.

The launch of the first Ukrainian communications satellite, which will be critical for testing and validating the technologies, is already planned for October 2026. Launch capacity has already been reserved, and the satellite itself has been named UASAT-NANO.UASAT LEO is intended to provide a dedicated satellite network for sovereign communications for Ukraine and its partner countries. The project also includes the development and production of modern satcom terminals. As such, the project is expected to become a key solution for ensuring reliable, independent communications in line with national needs.
