The NGA Space Debris notice was not canceled TBD like the Rocket Launching notice. Instead, there is a cancel-and-replace notice. On that basis, the launch would be on August 31 at 05:30 UTC.

The new NGA notice for the launch (as a generic Hazardous Operations notice) finally arrived. If you look at the first line, it was issued August 23 at 16:19 UTC. But it wasn't emailed until today at 09:30 UTC.

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, August 30 for a Falcon 9 launch of 46 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The instantaneous launch window is at 10:40 p.m. PT (5:40 UTC on Wednesday, August 31), and a backup opportunity is available on Wednesday, August 31 at 10:40 p.m. PT (05:40 UTC on Thursday, September 1).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will return to Earth and land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.

Starlink 3-4 is now tracking for 10:40pm PDT Tues Aug 30th from SLC-4E. Very light 8% cloud coverage of area with 9 Mi visibility forecast. 55° winds <10kt. This should be a beautiful launch visible for miles. Best experience for first time watchers is the West end of Ocean Ave

Less than 7 years ago, SpaceX successfully landed Falcon 9 for the first time.

Tonight, the 150th Falcon recovery attempt will be made, when B1063 descends toward Of Course I Still Love You during the Starlink 3-4 mission.
