Additional SpaceX flights in June will launch the Nilesat 301 geostationary communications satellite for the Egyptian operator Nilesat, the German military’s SARah 1 radar observation spacecraft, the SES 22 television broadcasting payload, and more Starlink internet satellites.
It would be "nice" to know approximately when the launch will be. We don't even know if the payload has shipped.But, as a intelligence/defense payload, I suppose the press releases will make a short stack?Any Feldjäger spottings at or near Vandenberg SFB?

It sounds like Spaceflight's Sherpa is not flying on this mission [Transporter-4]?https://spacenews.com/spacex-severs-ties-with-spaceflight/ [March 21]Quote“Sherpa itself was subjected to all expected launch environments with industry standard factors,” Sorensen said by email. “Spaceflight and SpaceX continued to discuss analysis and test products up until Spaceflight was informed that SpaceX would not fly the vehicle, which was the day of final integration to the SpaceX vehicle.”
