The Decision (as handed down by Jakob)
We are trying to minimize the development that is going to happen, but we are going to look for opportunities to improve.
...
We need to ensure we have a solution by Thanksgiving, so we’re going with Firefly cameras. Over the next week we’re going to look over BBC2s. Meanwhile we’ll be evaluate lightening the FRR to increase mass margin.
...
Other possible changes include switching firefly’s for gopros on the LE assembly. This will enable feedback on LE cameras.
...
We are choosing to drive changes to avionics on the BBC in order to avoid launch ops and inner structures changes.
