[sarex] Re: ISS map shows "Z O E"

["David Bate" <davebate@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was told once that TDRS 3/TDZ, at ZOE, is not used for STS/ISS  
operations, except during emergencies.  I can't remember if it was because  
the limitation due to TDRS 3 or if Guam was not setup for STS/ISS  
operations.  Originally TDRS 3 was placed at ZOE to support the Compton  
satellite.
