Change Summary

Addresses issue #3169 .

Overview

@nschwadron decided to use the time window of +0.5 hours after epoch 0 in the hk data, to +22.5 hours. Since this is a mask, it will grab any data it can in that window, without getting too close to the edges of the maneuver.

File changes

PIVOT_HK_HOUR_RANGE tweaked in lo/constants.py.

Testing

This is fine, but I don't agree with your statement in the Overview:

Since this is a mask, it will grab any data it can in that window, without getting too close to the edges of the maneuver.

The mask effectively avoids the half-hour after the maneuver, but since end time is relative to the start, if we have a short repoint, say 18-hours, the mask will include data up to the end of the pointing with no buffer between it and the repoint maneuver.
