No, it won't happen (unless you get a *very* long extended mission).

No, it won't happen (unless you get a *very* long extended mission). So, if TiME really is above the horizon (from Earth) for the length of the mission, and Saturn never blocks the line of sight, then TiME should be able to transmit data constantly throughout the three month mission. There may be technical or logistical reasons why this is not possible, I don't know, but it should be theoretically possible, I imagine.
