Since STS-30 didn't go off as planned, and since it now looks like it
won't go until next week, I finished typing in the rest of the launch
window times and am now posting it here.

This table includes all the windows, even those that we have missed and
are about to miss.  A note about accuracy:  this was accurate as of
March 9 (that's the date on the chart), but they keep changing things
around.  For example, the April 28 window was, at some point, extended to
23 minutes.  So take this for what it's worth.

Open and close times are given in Central Daylight Time.  To convert to
GMT, add 5 hours.  Window duration is given in minutes.
