Subj: Shuttle orbit question
Since STS-9's orbit passes north of Edwards AFB, and thus EAFB passes through
the plane of the orbit twice per day, does this mean that the STS-9 has more
landing opportunities than previous shuttles (which I understand have only
two or three possible orbits per day from which they can reach Edwards)?
