alright analysis flying further issue launch pal possible ramp shuttle stop supports testing window work
If, and only if, our further testing and analysis supports flying without a PAL ramp is aerodynamically alright to do, as our preliminary analysis indicates it would be, then the May launch window is still possible to make.
