Message-ID: <563@hounx.UUCP> Date: Mon, 3-Feb-86 13:05:33 EST Article-I.D.: hounx.563 Posted: Mon Feb 3 13:05:33 1986 Date-Received: Wed, 5-Feb-86 00:53:24 EST References: <2170@amd.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ Lines: 6 If the spacecraft itinerary includes any measurements in space (e.g. shots of Halley's Comet), or any activity that requires a certain sun angle, then the launch must take place within a narrow time window. Otherwise the activity would have to be rescheduled (which may be impractical) or the activity would have to take place with inadequate sun lighting conditions. --Barry Kort
