• 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?)
