Hi Tim,

The apogee and descending contacts, on USHI02, look good for FDG. For both ascending contacts, on USAK01. The line of sight to the ground station is close to the aft antenna null region. They are both technically within the view periods for the contacts, but if they could be shifted, we could better align the antenna field of view with the ground station.

For the contact on 10/08/2018, the VP is 8 Oct 2018 03:13:35.255 to 8 Oct 2018 08:57:15.843. Shifting the contact start time to 05:45 or later within the view period would be better.
For the contact on 10/17/2018, the VP is 17 Oct 2018 01:38:31.384 to 17 Oct 2018 07:57:51.703. Shifting the contact start time to 05:00 or later would be better. 

Thanks,
Stephen
