Another great article Pete.

I figured I'd highlight this one specific note: “Take away: The elephant is still in the room. If there are major problems with the X2_R10 (EPIC) MDM upgrade resulting in rollback to X2_R9, there could be a large effort rebuilding production to support the SpaceX Demo and Orbital Demo missions” concluded the presentation."

And this one is missing a bit of context (not sure if we want to pull the reason from L2 or not, we were given a valid reason): "The transition will include a 7 day “dwell” in a “mixed configuration” of EPIC and non-EPIC C&C and GNC MDMs, in order to buy more time for problem solving in the event that the EPIC cards present issues."

Another important note: "The plan to ground-control all VV robotics was detailed in a recent Canadian Joint Operations Panel (CJOP) presentation, available to download on L2."

Thanks for the compliments Phil, Robert, Martin and Peter. Much appreciated!

(And BTW Peter, shouldn't you change your location to "HEOMD" now?) ;)
