Since you need to solve the trajectory anyway in OPS 301 when executing item 22, maybe you can save EI-5 position as well - so it would be just a matter of getting the LVLH + 40º attitude at that point. The INRTL attitude value could then be saved and propagated through OPS 3 so in OPS 303 is available.
The thing is that now it's impossible to do it automaically or semiautomatically, since in Transition DAP, LVLH is not available and the only way I can think of is switching back to OPS 201 (I'm using easy GPC so it's doable, but a pain in the neck in realistic GPS), set the attitude there and then switch to OPS 303 again. And if it's done manually, we don't have error needles (since the solution hasn't been calculated) and everything needs to be done approximately.
I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a OCD person sometimes
Use the S-band antenna - if you're not over a ground site, you might need to switch it to TDRS and pre-amplify the signal to compensate for the range, but for 90% of the orbit this will give you a link.
Thanks! I didn't know the communications were so well simulated now, I need to check
