The anticipated timing of launches of classified spy satellites is not commonly disclosed, and has sometimes been actively withheld.
But a projected launch schedule for military space missions, including those of the National Reconnaissance Office, which is responsible for launching
U.S. spy satellites, has recently
been provided in unclassified form by the NRO.
The NRO Working Manifest for FY 2003-2006 categorizes the future launches by date, launch facility, and launch vehicle. See:

It was excerpted from a larger NRO briefing that provides some
additional details here:
