У кого-то проблема - где взять столько ПН для многоразов? 

У Маска другая проблема - скоро станет не хватать многоразов для очередных и внеочередных ПН.

SpaceX is targeting Friday, June 28 for a Falcon 9 launch of the NROL-186 mission from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The two-hour launch window opens at 8:14 p.m. PT. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Saturday, June 29 starting at 8:00 p.m. PT.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 10 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX.

This is the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, having previously launched Crew-7, CRS-29, PACE, Transporter-10, EarthCARE, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean...

National Reconnaissance Office Release #5-24
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 29, 2024
Office of Public Affairs
703-808-1198, media@nro.mil
NRO Launches Second Mission of Proliferated System with NROL-186
Second launch highlights persistent pace of system deployment
CHANTILLY, Va. — The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), in partnership with U.S.
Space Force Space Launch Delta 30 and SpaceX, successfully launched the NROL-186 mission
aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex-4 East at Vandenberg Space
Force Base in California on June 28, 2024 at 11:14 p.m. EDT.
This mission is the second launch of the NRO's proliferated architecture and signifies the
persistent pace of deployment that is expected with this program. Today's successful mission
follows NROL-146, launched last month.
"Our new, proliferated systems enhance our ability to collect and deliver critical information at
the speed our users demand," said Dr. Chris Scolese, director of the NRO. "The diversity of our
overhead architecture allows us to remain agile and resilient amid increasing competition and
emerging threats, ensuring we are well positioned now and in the future to deliver on our mission
of keeping our nation safe."
For more than 60 years, the NRO has successfully met the needs of its U.S. intelligence, military,
civil, and allied partners. It remains the world's leader in unique intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance systems. The NRO's next-generation systems will help ensure that the right data
is delivered to the right user at the right time, faster than ever before.
Approximately half a dozen launches supporting NRO's proliferated architecture are planned for
2024, with additional launches expected through 2028.
Additional information on upcoming launches will be available at NRO.gov/launch.
