The launch window can stretch over two calendar days (ex: start at 11:46 p.m. and end at 12:14 a.m.). Launch windows are sometimes but rarely exactly the same times each day. [10] Launch windows and launch periods are often used interchangeably in the public sphere, even within the same organization.
