  So far, Starlink 6-60 and 6-61 are skipped over.  Something out of the ordinary planned for one or both?  Like Starshield rideshare?

  SpaceX is targeting Monday, May 27 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 7:30 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 11:30 a.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Tuesday, May 28 starting at 7:30 a.m. ET.
  
  A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
  
  This is the 10th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER, USSF-124, and six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

• Is there a difference between the window and launch opportunity times (which have to be within the window)? Those two sound like launch opportunity times?
  (but I am probably talking rubbish so feel free to continue to correct me.)
• #21 by Ken the Bin on 27 May, 2024 13:47
• The NGA has created two new multi-launch Space Debris notices (the same notice for two different Navigational Areas), then canceled the old ones that ended at the end of May.
  
  The new ones still start on April 27, the day that the old ones started, but run just through June 4, which covers all of this launch, but does not cover all of 6-64.

  The launch window is 11:30-15:30 UTC.
  
  The marine hazard period and the FAA ATCSCC COPA hazard period are 11:30-16:01 UTC.
  
  The FAA TFR hazard period is 11:20-15:53 UTC.
  
  There is no conflict between any of these facts.
  
  Edit: Well, there's a little conflict in the FAA hazard periods, but there's no conflict between the launch window and any of the hazard periods.

  (its previous mission was Starlink Group 6-53 on Apr 23, 2024 UTC).
  
  FYI: median turnaround time for Falcon 9 / Heavy boosters is currently 35.01 days *
  * – based on the last 30 launches, excluding new first stages.
  
  Launchpad SLC-40 turnaround time:
