Launch and arrival parameters for the Radio Astronomy Explorer-B mission were revised to provide better tracking station coverage of the transfer trajectory. It is shown that changing the launch azimuth and flight time is sufficient to provide postinjection tracking by Tananarive and Carnarvon, and redundant lunar orbit insertion coverage by command stations. These changes can be made with no significant influence on the other parameters and without sacrificing many launch opportunities. All acceptable launch opportunties during the RAE-B launch period are tabulated together with pertinent launch and arrival parameters. (Author)
