CroCube delayed:
https://crocube.hr/2024/01/26/lansiranje-crocube/Dear friends of the CroCube mission,
We want to inform you that there has been a change in the launch date of the first Croatian satellite into space.
Instead of March 2024 on the SpaceX Transporter 10 mission, as originally planned, CroCube will be launched on the next mission, Transporter 11, expected in June 2024. We will communicate more details in a timely manner through all our channels and social media.
The reason for the change in the date is the latest tightening of technical launch requirements set by the launch service providers (Exolaunch, SpaceX). Due to these stricter conditions, we had to meet additional criteria within a very short timeframe, and we jointly decided that the best decision was to reduce the risk and postpone the launch to the next available slot.
This is a minimal delay of only three months, which we will utilize for key activities such as completing the ground station, promoting the mission, organizing educational events and content, and finalizing the project's financial structure.
Regarding the finances, we take this opportunity to provide you with the current financial report of the CroCube mission.
"All members of the CroCube team have taken the additional time as a boost to complete the remaining tasks before the launch. Although CroCube is small in size, we treat its mission with the same seriousness as a large space mission, which it truly is for us. Take, for example, the James Webb Space Telescope, whose launch was delayed for more than 10 years until it was fully ready. It now brings us immense satisfaction, just as CroCube will when it goes into orbit." These are the words of our always optimistic mission leader, Daniela Jović.
To shorten the waiting time, we have prepared numerous content, contests, lectures, gatherings, and other activities in which you can participate in the coming months. Stay tuned!
You can still contribute and become one of the heroes of this historic mission by shaping the future. We invite you to visit our website www.crocube.hr and click the red button "Donate Now" to financially support the mission.
Machine translated, and bold is mine.

SpaceX seemingly wants to make sure they don't have any leaking/malfunctioning payloads, makes sense on a mission hosting so many customers.

https://twitter.com/Exolaunch/status/1763741737141555672YAM-6, the first virtual mission-enabled satellite by @LoftOrbital, is ready for launch! ⚡️ Our team finished integration at @SLDelta30 and YAM-6 will launch soon on @SpaceX’s Transporter-10 mission.
We couldn't be more thrilled to deploy this innovative satellite!

https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_spt.jsp:
SPACEX TRANSPORTER-10 VANDENBURG, CA
PRIMARY: 03/04/24 2104Z-2259Z
BACKUP: 03/05-10/24 2104Z-2259Z
Sad that the FAA hasn't learnt to spell Vandenberg yet.
Likely it would be easier to rename it to Vandenburg than to correct all the misspellings.

I'm assuming the "undisclosed customer" is Satlantis
That would match the description of the HORACIO cubesat announced by Exolaunch. By the way, NanoAvionics says this would be their third cubesat for Satlantis but I can recall only one more (GEISAT Precursor), which is the third one?

MANTIS on Transporter 9 ?

That would be Urdaneta-Armsat 1 (2022-057AK)

Satlantis provided only the imager for MANTIS.

Per CelesTrak, primary = March 4 at 22:04:59.990 UTC.
https://twitter.com/TSKelso/status/1764424273903690094
From the celestrak list:
Hubble 1 and 2, as well as tomorrow.io satellites are not in this launch.
Instead there are 4 x LEMUR-2 satellites:
LEMUR-2-ROCINANTE
LEMUR-2-JOHNNYTRUONG
LEMUR-2-CHARLIE-ROSE
LEMUR-2-FELDHUS

At least one of the LEMURs is for Hubble. I also didn't have the GHOSts on my list until now, and a few names got tweaked.

It was renamed GO BEYOND, some sites still show the old name though

https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=transporter10SpaceX is targeting Monday, March 4 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-10 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 2:05 p.m. PT. If needed, there is a backup opportunity Tuesday, March 5 at the same time.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about 10 minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
This will be the fifth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission which previously launched Crew-7, CRS-29, PACE, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Transporter-10 is SpaceX’s 10th dedicated smallsat rideshare mission. There will be 53 payloads on this flight, including CubeSats, MicroSats, and a hosted payload. To date, SpaceX has launched nearly 1,000 smallsats for more than 130 customers across our entire Rideshare program.
