Y PL and Z PL center of gravity dimensions must fall within the mechanical interface diameter for the Payload. The Payload coordinate frame is defined in Section 4.2.3. Figure 2-1: Allowable Payload Mass and X PL Center of Gravity The Launch Vehicle maybe able to accommodate payloads with characteristics outside the limitations indicated in this section, on a case by case basis. Mass property capabilities maybe further constrained by mission- unique Payload adapters, dispensers, or separation systems. 2.2 LAUNCH WINDOWS The Launch Vehicle is capable of launching any day of the year, at anytime of day, subject to environmental limitations and constraints as well as range availability and readiness within the SpaceX-determined Launch Period. Launch Window times and durations are developed specifically for each Mission. Customers may benefit from recycle operations (reference Section 7.5.5), maximizing launch opportunities within the Launch Window.
