90%) of STIS and WFPC observations. Assuming no interaction with non-MAMA visits, we find that the maximum sustained MAMA orbits scheduled per week can be no greater than 41. Including interactions between MAMA and non-MAMA visits, and assuming the structure of non-MAMA visits is changed to make them more schedulable in SAA-intersected orbits, the maximum sustained number of MAMA orbits per week is 33. ...
