Over lapping with ULA launch window of 0600-0900L ?

So far there are no NGA notices for ULA Cert-2.

Now there is a Rocket Launching notice out for ULA Cert-2, for October 4 to October 10. If ULA is ready to go, it seems likely that their launch would take priority over a Starlink launch.

2. CANCEL THIS MSG 160909Z OCT 24.

This is not a cancel-and-replace, but the Next Spaceflight website has it applied to this Starlink Group 10-10 launch. I don't know if that's correct or not, but it doesn't really matter because it's already canceled.

[zubenelgenubi]

If I recall correctly, NASA LSP launches and all USA-based crewed launches (not commercial cargo to ISS) require ~48 hours spacing between launches using the same model (ex. Falcon 9/Falcon Heavy) to allow post-flight launch vehicle performance analysis.

So, no Falcon 9 launches within 48 hours before Falcon Heavy/Europa Clipper.

See the Starlink 6-22 launch with respect to Psyche last year.

Seeking correction or clarification.
