All,
	I have looked at v002 of the Orbit 96 ATS, and I approve.

	Ken reports the ATS matches the STF, excepting some 
differences in new-line characters.

	Constraint violations with v001 (too-long contact time, 
corrected in v002) and PL state not known (happens a lot these days, 
I'm ignoring that) are acceptable.

	List of scheduled ground contacts not sent; I have not 
checked that the SC times match the ground times, except for the 
last, as described in the changed-contact email; that one does match.

	The maneuver points us in a safe direction at the time of the 
maneuver, and at the succeeding ascending and descending times:

	Battery cell balancing is an hour away from anything.

	More O-mode coming in Orbit 97.
