From: king@Kestrel (Dick King) How much lower an orbit did they have to settle for than what they wanted? I don't understand why the orbit would be lowered much, because they (presumably) had as much fuel as they ever had. When an engine dies, can they extend the burn to make up the required Delta-V, or is there a limit as to how long the engines that are working are allowed to be operated? -dick
