Quote from: Gav Cornwall tweetASOG droneship is back to sea to support Starlink 6-64.
This was a potential turnaround record of just four hours from docking with F9 from the previous mission to undocking for the next.

Ben Cooper's Launch Photography Viewing Guide (https://www.launchphotography.com/Launch_Viewing_Guide.html); updated May 28 after Starlink 6-60 launch; my bold:QuoteThe next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on May 31 at 6:43-10:43 p.m. EDT. Upcoming launches include more Starlink batches. A Falcon 9 will launch the SES-24/Astra 1P communications satellite for SES from pad 40 on mid-June.
If the Astra/SES launch goes on June 10 or 11 of "NET June 10," then Starlink 8-5 and it will be consecutive SLC-40 launches.
Near-term not-Starlink launch schedule; also noting LC-39A use:
<snip>
Astra 1P / SES-24 (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=59778.0) (NET Jun 10, SLC-40)
NROL-69 (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=53297.0) (NET Jun?, SLC-40)
GSAT-20 / GSAT-N2 (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=43163.0) (Jun?, SLC-40)
<snip>
Edited through May
Group 8-5 (launch thread (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=60952.0)) launches from SLC-40 on 5 June ~ 00:00 UTC (according to Ben Cooper (http://www.launchphotography.com/Launch_Viewing_Guide.html)). So I assume this one will go from LC-39A due to pad turnaround time ...?
We have one NOTAM out regarding this one after Group 8-5...and things got even more confusing because this one is named Group 10-1 (!!!!!) in it! I have no idea what Group 10 meant, or if it's even the correct nomenclature.
More likely, it is just a shell at a different mean altitude. For 53 degree inclination we already have:
Group 1 550km
Group 4 540km
Group 7 525km
Group 8 535km
With a load of sub-shells at other altitudes.

SpaceX is targeting Friday, June 7 for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 8:00 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 10:10 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Saturday, June 8 starting at 7:47 p.m. ET.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
This is the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, OneWeb 1, SES-18 and SES-19, and 11 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Long shot.
@elonmusk, what is special about @SpaceX #starlink Group 10-1? Apart from the lower orbital altitude, why does it contain 9 very bright and 13 rather dim satellites? Especially when compared to to group 8-5 and 8-8, the brightness was very high.
