     Could someone please explain why such tighe launch windows
for the STS-30 launch.  I understand that everything must be
lined up properly for the Magellan Probe, but cann't the probe be deployed
from the Shuttle at anytime or at any possition during the orbit.
I also understand that there must be daylight at all of the backup landing
sites, but I dt think that explins the rate at which
the launch windows grew.
     I can not wait until the next Shuttle launch, when I will be working for
NASA and will be able to watch it on Nasa Select so I won'''t have to listen
to the boring news people babbling on.
