Kayton,
I agree with you on the last pass. In our SAP report it was showing the same end time. We normally don’t like to use the first and last 15 minutes of a visibility window. But since this was a contingency I guess I was pushing the envelope just a little
bit to get that last contact in. But, thanks for noting it. It’s always good to have a second set of eyes reviewing the contacts.

Hi Tim,
The scheduled contingency passes look good for FDG. I would like to note that the last pass ends close to the end of the view period on that station (the requested pass ends at 12:25, while according to our view period report, the view
period ends at 12:31). The satellite/ground station configuration in STK looks good for the entirety of the pass, but I thought I'd mention it.
