Wait a minute.  That explains why the satalite needs a launch window, not
the shuttle itself.  The shuttle is in LEO, which is not Geo-sync.  So the
satalite could be launched from any point, provided the shuttle could acheive
the correct orbit, right?  Maybe the calculations would be too difficult to
do on the fly, and have to be done long beforehand?
