My bolds; Florida Starlink launches resume after SXM-10 and Axiom-4 launches, from both LC-39A and SLC-40.

A Falcon 9 will launch the Meteosat MTG-S1 weather satellite for Europe on early July TBA.

Both pads are occupied with a total of five launch campaigns after Memorial Day and into early June, which also includes a Starlink launch on May 28 and GPS III-8 on May 30, and a Starlink launch in earliest June.

This next Starlink launch could be circa June 10.  SLC-40 would likely be available first, after SXM-10.

Falcon 9 first stages are now cleared for use up to forty times for non-crewed launches, although that number is apparently more restricted for Cargo Dragon or Cygnus than these other payloads.

Available first stages, with UTC date of most recent recovery:
1072.2    Jun 25, 2024   ??

1076.22  Feb 21    ??

1092.4    Apr 21     GPS III-8
1077.21   April 28  Starlink 12-19
1094.2    Apr 29     Axiom-4
1078.21  May 4
1085.8    May 7     SXM-10
1083.12  May 10
1067.29  May 13
1090.5    May 14
1095.2    May 21
1069.25  May 24
1080.20  May 28
1092.5    May 30

Edit June 10 UTC: It's B1083.12, skipping B1072.2, B1076.22, and B1078.21.

I wonder for what the above-mentioned boosters are being held back?

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, June 10 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 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 9:05 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities until 1:02 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are available on Wednesday, June 11 starting at 8:36 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 12th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-8, Polaris Dawn, CRS-31, Astranis: From One to Many, IM-2, and six Starlink missions. (=B1083-12) Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

The livestream for the NSF has commenced. My patient is on the verge of waking, and it is probable that I will be unable to provide live coverage. Should no one else conduct the coverage, I will return later to backfill the thread with content that was missed. Enjoy the launch.
