    The Wallops Flight Facility calendar at: http://sched.wff.nasa.gov/wffsched/
    is showing STS-122 Launch and Tracking Support for on Dec 9, 10 and 11. The
    task is assigned to "Wallops radars".
    
    The calendar shows Launch Support for NROL-24 on Dec 10. The NROL-24 window
    overlaps STS-122 and the task is also allocated to "Wallops radar". The
    calendar then shows Dec 11 as the NROL-24 backup day.
    
    Does Wallops have the radar capacity to support two major missions on the
    same day, or are we now waiting for the NROL-24 timeline to be adjusted to
    avoid STS-122?
