• Astra 1P/SES-24 launch delayed one day more to June 20.
  
  In response, will this launch be delayed to June 23, 17:03 to 21:03 UTC?
  
  Yes.  I think Ben has the launch window wrong vs the current NOTAM.

A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on June 23 earliest at 1:25-5:25 p.m. EDT. The next Falcon Heavy will launch NASA & NOAA's GOES-U GOES-N weather satellite from pad 39A on June 25 at 5:16-7:16 p.m. EDT. The side boosters will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch. Upcoming launches include more Starlink batches from pad 40. A Falcon 9 will launch the Turksat 6A communication satellite on July 7. A Falcon 9 will launch the Worldview Legion 2 imaging satellite on July 15. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch.

  SpaceX is targeting Sunday, June 23 for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 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 1:15 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 5:01 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Monday, June 24 starting at 1:00 p.m. ET.
  
  A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
  
  This is the 11th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, mPOWER-B, USSF-124, and seven Starlink missions. (=B1078-11) Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

  Edit June 11: It's B1073.16, skipping over B1083.4.
  
  As a low-flight first stage, is B1083.4 being held back for another launch?
