SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, May 28 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 opportunities available until 11:28 a.m. ET.
SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, May 28 for Falcon 9’s launch of the ESA EarthCARE (Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer) mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 3:20 p.m. PT. If needed, a backup launch opportunity is available on Wednesday, May 29 at the same time.A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about 15 minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.This will be the seventh flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-7, CRS-29, PACE, Transporter-10, and two Starlink missions. After stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Jonathan McDowell @planet4589Based on gaps in the catalog the evidence is that 21 catalog numbers were reserved for the Starshield launch on May 22. That probably means 21 satellites, or maybe 20 satellites and a piece of adapter hardware if the design isn't entirely like V2Mini.
Dr Marco Langbroek @Marco_LangbroekObserved the NROL-146 objects aroiund 22:13-22;17 UTC (May 25) as a "train" of 21 bright (mag +2 to +3) objects, taking some 5 minutes to pass.
