Looking at the STS-29 Mission Map, I noticed that TDRS West and East
have a large overlap of coverage over N/S America, and a lack of coverage
around the Indian Ocean/India area. Is there a reason they don't move
one over a bit to cover that area?
Also, watching JSC TV of the TDRS-4 deployment, the video had to wait
to be seen but audio was coming. Is there a reason for not having video
and audio all the time (except when there is LOS, of course)??

I think it's because they want to keep both of them in good line-of-sight of the ground station at White Sands. -- Welcome to Mars!
