How is a launch window defined?
It isn't chosen. It's calculated.
Every launch begins long before countdown.
Engineers calculate the precise moment when the launcher's trajectory, Earth's rotation and the mission's orbital requirements all come together.
That moment becomes the launch window: the period during which liftoff will place the satellite on the right path to its destination.
Behind every countdown lie months of calculations, simulations and mission planning.
