> As an additional challenge, the JWST observation schedule in the next 21-day period will not be known at the time of SK [station keeping] maneuver planning. A planned observation schedule one week ahead will be available, but the actual observation schedule will be event-driven. If a ‘target of opportunity’ arises then the schedule can be changed within 48 hours to point at the new target.
