I think this NGA Rocket Launching is for this launch. The hazard zone times are not typical for a Starlink launch, but the locations look more like Starlink than like Thuraya 4-NGS.Quote from: NGA171818Z DEC 24NAVAREA IV 1587/24(11,26).WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC.FLORIDA.1.

QuoteWell the notice is for a launch NET 05:00 UTC on December 30 so it cannot be Group 12-2, of which a NOTAM for NET December 23 has just arrived.Next Spaceflight has it as Group 12-3 from SLC-40, although I haven't been able to nail down a concrete source for that yet.

SpaceX is targeting Monday, February 3 for a Falcon 9 launch of 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 3:54 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 7:54 a.m. ET. If needed, additional launch opportunities are also available Tuesday, February 4 starting at 3:26 a.m. ET.A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.This is the 21st flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched OneWeb 1, SES 18+19, Eutelsat HOTBIRD-F1, CRS-24, and 16 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
