| Dec 2, 2021 at 4:13 | comment | added | user44124 | my failing memory did merge the STS-4xx "can't reach ISS had to be stacked" missions (Hubble) with the 64 day STS-3xx "ISS or could reach ISS" missions; so thanks for pointing it out. The 80 day window is the time the ISS LSS could support the additional crew. (not enough priv to upvote your comments) | |

| Dec 2, 2021 at 3:38 | comment | added | Organic Marble | Agreed, but the answer says 'duration of a STS mission' so like 2 weeks, not 80 days. You're right about STS-3xx, I was thinking Hubble rescue. | |
| Dec 2, 2021 at 3:31 | comment | added | user44124 | @OrganicMarble the STS-3XX missions, and while the LON missions didn't have to be ready to launch, had to be ready to be ready to launch within the 80 day window and were often stacked ready to launch | |
| Dec 2, 2021 at 3:04 | comment | added | Organic Marble | Do you have a reference for this: "Following Columbia, Orbiters were no longer considered to be guaranteed to be capable of returning their crew, so a stand-by STS had to be ready for launch for the duration of a STS mission to the ISS"? Are you talking about the STS-4XX rescue missions? Because if you mean an STS stack was sitting on the pad ready to launch the whole time...no. | |
