FAA advisory now has it for NET the 26th:
SPACEX STARLINK 10-4, CAPE CANAVERAL SFS, FL
PRIMARY: 07/26/24 0414Z-0843Z
BACKUP: 07/27/24 0413Z-0843Z
07/28/24 0413Z-0843Z
07/29/24 0412Z-0842Z
https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_spt.jsp
Shoot! I forgot to post this earlier today:
SFN Launch Schedule, updated July 23:
Launch 26 July circa 04:13 UTC
The primary day from the NGA Rocket Launching notice is still July 23, but the FAA has created Temporary Flight Restrictions. https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html
<snip>
The TFRs for July 24 are gone.
The TFRs for July 25 are gone from the master list.
FAA created TFRs for July 25 and July 26,
https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html:
July 25, created July 23:
https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_6537.html (ZMA, not applicable
?)
https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_6530.html (ZMA, not applicable
?)
July 26, created July 22:
https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_5576.html (ZJX)
https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_5575.html (ZMA)
This does not mean that the FAA has granted a public safety determination that will allow SpaceX to launch, as that has not yet happened.

Thanks again OneSpeed. I ran the ascent and it did show the second stage entering sunlight close to the horizon as seen from the launch area. It was visible for a longer time from Norfolk, VA. This will help immensely with jellyfish predictions.

Two launches from Florida within 7 minutes - that could be fun.
SPACEX STARLINK 10-4, CAPE CANAVERAL SFS, FL
PRIMARY: 07/25/24 0414Z-0844Z
SPACEX STARLINK 10-9, KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL
PRIMARY: 07/25/24 0421Z-0851Z
The surest way to deconflict two launches is to schedule them at the same time and wait for delays to solve the problem.
My guess is that if both are ready to go at the start of 10-4’s fueling SpaceX will push 10-9 farther out into its launch window.
With no explanation in SpaceX’s “now targeting” post.

https://twitter.com/alexphysics13/status/1815992068914745547While we await for NASA to unload the Core Stage for Artemis II, SpaceX has lifted vertical a Falcon 9 rocket at SLC-40 for the first time in over two weeks. Also, at 39A the strongback has picked up the reaction fixture in preparation for rollback.

Cross-posts:
SFN Launch Schedule, updated July 25:
Launch window opens circa 27 July 04:13 UTC
FYI ...
The NGA email system is busted again.
As I've mentioned before, I'm subscribed with two different email addresses that are on different email providers. The last NGA email, which was received by both, was a little over 36 hours ago.
And it's not like there hasn't been anything to send. Even the routine icebergs emails, which come out on a daily basis, haven't arrived.

Did we ever before see what appears to be LOX streaming out of the transporter-erector for at least 20 min after launch?
