Interesting.
When I designed the telescope shuttle the space telescope had slightly different mechanics. I added the uplink station for the space telescope to make it provide data contentiously (it used to be a one-time data dump). At the time I guess I didn't consider how that would affect the telescope shuttle (its main benefit was that it could get data multiple times, which has now been bypassed).
I'll have to think of a new way to make the Telescope shuttle useful. Launching 1 telescope from it alone would make it hardly better then just a normal telescope launch.
Thanks for the feedback!
