        "abstract": "<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This paper addresses the assumptions, constraints, analysis, and selection of the&nbsp;Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) launch/arrival periods and Entry, Descent, and&nbsp;Landing (EDL) communication strategy. The discussion details the complexity&nbsp;of satisfying EDL communication in the 2009 Earth-Mars opportunity while&nbsp;maintaining a wide landing site latitude range, remaining within the capability&nbsp;of the spacecraft and mission cost, and possibly sharing the 2009 launch&nbsp;opportunity with the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter (MTO) Project. The&nbsp;extent and type of communication available to MSL during EDL is presented&nbsp;along with how the availability of communication during EDL influenced the&nbsp;selection of launch/arrival periods for the MSL Project.</p>",
