ASBM-1/2 is scheduled to launch August 12 02:02 UTC, with OCISLY first stage recovery.  Transporter-11 will most likely recover its first stage at LZ-4.

Will this launch be delayed to NET August 16?

Fastest turnaround on VSFB SLC-4E so far was 4 ½ days (7 & 11 April 2024, 10 & 14 May 2024).



Which first stage will be used for this launch?  (semi-rhetorical question)

Falcon 9 first stages are now cleared for use up to forty times for non-human spaceflight missions, although that number is apparently more restricted for Cargo Dragon and Cygnus than these other payloads.

Available first stages, with UTC date of most recent recovery:
1075.12   Jun 24
1081.9     Jun 29
1063.20   Jul 12

Edit August 15: It's B1075.12.

We’re set to take Hydrosat’s VanZyl-1 satellite to new heights this summer, as final integrations have been completed for SpaceX's Transporter-11 mission! 🚀

🛰️ Hydrosat’s VanZyl-1 will fly on Loft Orbital’s YAM-7 to provide invaluable data across several critical areas. Using a thermal infrared imager, VanZyl-1 will provide insights into agricultural water management, monitor droughts, and support food security initiatives, playing a vital role in both commercial and civil government initiatives.
 
Thanks to our customer Loft and the team at Hydrosat for their trust in us! We’re eagerly anticipating the launch of this satellite and the positive impact this mission will have on protecting our environments here on Earth. 🌎

G’day, Australia! 🇦🇺

We’re excited to share that Exolaunch is set to deploy @Arc_Cuava's "CUAVA-2" and "Waratah Seed-1" satellites later this summer onboard @SpaceX’s Transporter-11 mission. Now our team has completed final integrations, we can’t wait to launch these spacecraft!

Arctic Weather Satellite: advancing weather forecasting in a changing climate

Quote
The effects of the climate crisis are felt more acutely in the Arctic than anywhere else on the planet. The weather in the Arctic is not only severe, but it changes extremely quickly. More frequent data are urgently needed to improve weather forecasts for this susceptible polar region.

Enter ESA’s Arctic Weather Satellite: a brand new prototype mission to show exactly how this can be achieved. The satellite will provide precise, short-term weather forecasts for the Arctic region. It is equipped with a 19-channel cross-track scanning microwave radiometer which will provide high-resolution humidity and temperature soundings of the atmosphere in all weather conditions.

The Arctic Weather Satellite is the forerunner of a potential constellation of satellites, called EPS-Sterna, that ESA would build for Eumetsat if this first prototype Arctic Weather Satellite performs well.

The orbital inclination appears correct. Assuming RTLS, the square area about 500km downrange could be for fairing half recovery. The second stage re-entry would be after 3 orbits.

   Nanoavionics SDR (3U, Nanoavionics for ?)
   Nanoavionics RGB (3U, Nanoavionics for ?)

A guess with some hints that these two satellites are:

TORO and Nightjar

Both are meant to be launched with Transporter 11 according to their satellite coordination applications:
https://iaru.amsat-uk.org/formal_detail.php?serialnum=983 (TORO)
https://iaru.amsat-uk.org/formal_detail.php?serialnum=990 (Nightjar)

Especially in the Nightjar submission it is mentioned that it will be deployed by EXOlaunch.

Also both are 3U cubesats according to https://www.tasa.org.tw/en-US/missions/detail/43eec19f-e76f-4b85-b8c7-ea6d7474fa6c

Another hint is the MOU that has been signed between Taiwan National Space Organization and Nanoavionics:

Quote from: T.S. Kelso
The data is considered preliminary because 59 of the 99 objects are missing the ballistic coefficient term needed to calculate drag. Having to guess these values will significantly degrade the accuracy of predictions much beyond the initial deployment.

Targeting Friday, August 16 for a Falcon 9 launch of our 11th dedicated smallsat rideshare mission with 116 spacecraft on board from Space Launch Complex 4E in California →

https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=transporter11

Quote
SpaceX is targeting Friday, August 16 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-11 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 53-minute window opens at 11:20 a.m. PT. If needed, there is a backup opportunity on Saturday, August 17 at the same time.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 10 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX.

This will be the 12th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission which previously launched SDA-0A, SARah-2, and nine Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Transporter-11 is SpaceX’s 11th dedicated smallsat rideshare mission. There will be 116 payloads on this flight, including CubeSats, MicroSats, and an orbital transfer vehicle carrying eight of those payloads, five of which will be be deployed at a later time. To date, SpaceX has launched more than 1,000 smallsats for 130+ customers across our entire Rideshare program.
