In the first design discussions, there seemed to be a strong drive to avoid any electrical umbilicals. At this point I don't consider them to be too much of a big deal... I think the connection for the tank pressure transducer on the KISS-2 configuration demonstrated that we can do them without violating "simplicity". Off-the-shelf buck-a-dozen "D" connectors seem to work as well (for our purposes) as anything, although there may be a place for Dan's little round miniature thingies in future iterations of the vehicle. -dave w _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
