“There’s certainly range conflicts, there’s always range conflicts.
There are some beta cut outs for the Space Station, there are some
ground rules constraint cut outs where we don’t want a Soyuz vehicle
and a Dragon vehicle exactly on top of each other – we’ve got to get
one activity completed before we start the next one,� added Ms Ridings.

“The Dragon has some constraints for its recovery, where for this
demonstration flight they’d like to land in daylight for the recovery
operations. So there are multiple constraints on the table that we need
to line up to optimize a launch window for this demonstration mission.�
