The final Launch Window, in terms of lift-off time, will be calculated by the CUSTOMER and the Co-passenger, if any, respectively, based on orbit parameters at separation taken from the Final Mission Analysis document. The resulting combined Launch Window will then be computed by ARIANESPACE. ARIANESPACE and the CUSTOMER will mutually agree on a combined Launch Window that will satisfy the Customer, the Co-passenger, and Arianespace constraints. The combined Launch Window will be agreed upon by the CUSTOMER, the Co-passenger, if any, and ARIANESPACE before the Launch Vehicle Readiness Review (RAV).
