That was originally issued back in November. Yet they have continued to manually apply for each individual commercial launch since? I was under the impression that it was for NROL/USSF launches... But, I am probably wrong.
It's not for NROL/USSF launches and they have renewed the license for another six months. If you look at the exhibits it includes Starlink launches. Yes, they have still applied for individual missions but, as it is very clear, that is no longer worth even a thought. Starlink 6-54 NOTAMs just went out, there's not even an FCC permit for it so it obviously is being performed under the general permit. -

F-22 Raptors Chase SpaceX Rocket Over NASA-Cape Canaveral Space Force Station -Exclusive Cockpit POVQuote
Premiered Jun 12, 2024
Hop in the cockpit of a F-22 as a pair of Raptors fly over NASA's Kennedy Space Center and the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building as the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket launched (timecode 0:56) Starlink mission 6-52 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
As the rocket ascended, two F-22 Raptors accompanied the Falcon 9 up to 18,000 feet, offering a spectacular one-of-a-kind aerial view, before peeling off and heading west for the 2024 Orlando Air Show.
We're excited to present to you this exclusive POV footage from the cockpit of Captain Samuel "RaZZ" Larson as he and Safety Officer Sawyer Murray follow the Falcon 9 Rocket up to Class A Airspace.
We're extremely thankful to everyone who helped us coordinate this incredible event! We hope you enjoy!
