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. Date Open Close Duration 4/28 13:24 13:42 18 4/29 13:18 13:43 25 4/30 13:13 13:44 31 5/ 1 13:07 13:45 38 5/ 2 13:01 13:45 44 5/ 3 12:54 13:46 52 5/ 4 12:48 13:47 59 5/ 5 12:42 13:48 66 5/ 6 12:35 13:49 74 5/ 7 12:28 13:49 81 5/ 8 12:21 13:50 89 5/ 9 12:11 13:51 100 5/10 12:02 13:51 109 5/11 11:59 13:52 113 5/12 11:53 13:53 120 5/13 11:46 13:47 121 5/14 11:38 13:39 121 5/15 11:31 13:32 121 5/16 11:23 13:24 121 5/17 11:15 13:16 121 5/18 11:07 13:08 121 5/19 10:59 13:00 121 5/20 10:51 12:52 121 5/21 10:42 12:43 121 5/22 10:34 12:35 121 5/23 10:25 12:26 121 5/24 10:17 12:18 121 5/25* 9:39 11:50 121 5/26* 9:29 11:30 121 5/27* 9:17 11:18 121 5/28* 8:59 11:00 121 * Contingency launch days Deply and landing are scheduled as follows: Event Orbit MET (D:H:M) Deploy 5 0:06:18 Landing 65 4:00:56 (MET = Mission Elapsed Time, counted from actual liftoff) William LeFebvre Department of Computer Science Rice University <phil@Rice.edu>
