A source confirms what some of us have expected for a little while: the 8th and final Iridium-NEXT flight is scheduled for NET October 2018 from Vandenberg, California.

Replying to @scr00chy

Still trying to nail the date down (satellite completion is gating, not rocket availability), but definitely won't be in September.

#SpaceX launch schedule update. Hearing through the grapevine that Iridium NEXT-8 is now NET (No Earlier Than) November timeframe due to satellite readiness/availability.

It's taken awhile, but finally have a schedule for the final launch #8 of Iridium NEXT! 8:38am pst on December 30th – we'll have the satellites, SpaceX assures us the flight proven rocket will be ready, and VAFB is ready to ring in the New Year with us!

Re: our Iridium-8 launch on December 30th: satellite parts delay is finally past us, and SpaceX launch manifest at VAFB had to be worked around, but we're a go! However, we're really cutting it close on our plan to complete Iridium NEXT by year end! @Marine_layer: behave!

#Iridium8 Update: As you may have guessed, the #SSOA launch slide had a domino effect & pushed us back a few days. But, we're happy to report the 1st pair of #IridiumNEXT satellites are onsite @ VAFB & in processing for a Jan 7, 2019 target launch date!

Preparations continue for our final (historic!) launch 8 on January 7th. Final 2 (of 10) sats just left the factory (we track them by Iridium IoT) for the base; 6 of 10 are already mated. Everything needed is there - just need to put it all together for a launch in 24 days!

#Iridium8 Update: We're at T-minus 20 days to our final #IridiumNEXT launch and happy to share that all 10 satellites have been mated to their dispenser and are being prepped for fueling!

... this raises a question about the potential impact on the launch date for Iridium's final launch with Falcon 9.

ULA Delta IV Heavy NROL-71 will Launch NET Jan. 6, 2019

(Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., Dec. 28, 2018) -- The United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy carrying the NROL-71 mission will launch no earlier than Sunday, January 6, 2019. The mission will launch from Space Launch Complex-6 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

...
A Falcon 9 rocket built and operated by ULA rival SpaceX was previously set for liftoff from a nearby launch pad at Vandenberg on Jan. 7 carrying 10 Iridium voice and data relay satellites, the last of a set of 75 upgraded commercial Iridium spacecraft launched by SpaceX since January 2017. Iridium CEO Matt Desch wrote Thursday on Twitter that the launch remained scheduled for Jan. 7 at 7:53 a.m. PST (10:53 a.m. EST; 1553 GMT).

The Air Force-run Western Range at Vandenberg typically requires a day or two to reconfigure safety and tracking assets between rockets, raising questions about whether the Falcon 9 launch was postponed, or if the Delta 4-Heavy on a national security mission might take priority over a commercial SpaceX launch.

In a subsequent tweet Friday after ULA's announcement, Desch wrote that he has not heard of any delays in Iridium's launch. The 10 satellites, built by Thales Alenia Space and Northrop Grumman, are at Vandenberg, fueled with maneuvering propellant, mated to their dispensers and encapsulated inside the Falcon 9's payload shroud, Desch said.

The NROL-71 and Iridium missions will be the first launches of 2019 for ULA and SpaceX.

#Iridium8 Update: SpaceX has informed us that they need an extra day to prep for Iridium8, moving us to our backup date. We are now targeting Jan 8th at 7:48 AM PT (15:48 UTC) with a new backup of Jan 9th, out of VAFB. #IridiumNEXT

Meanwhile, in "VandyLand":

We're waiting on the Static Fire test for Falcon 9 on SLC-4E ahead of the Iridium-8 launch. Currently understood to be NET Friday.
