Default The second launch will have only a few dozens hours!

To-day I've added a note at the end of my article about the one-and-half launch architecture, because I've realized that the second launch will not have ALL the 95 days of the LSAM/EDS max loither time in earth orbit.

The REAL total time available for the second launch will be of ONLY a few dozens hours inside the 95 days!

This additional problem increases very much the risk of a mission's fail if the launch delays will happen in these few, very critical, hours.
