Sounds like the DVR can support the camera - it's close, but still within spec. And that we could hook up to an external shore power, so we're powered until we actually lift off. If we launch with the BOB-4, we'll use two primary lithium batteries in series and a COTS 5V buck switching supply (I have a few of them, they look like big 7805 regulators. Did we order the PV-700? Is it it on its way? We should get all this stuff on the table so we can figure out the power details, and then get it and the batteries to the airframe team ASAP so they can mount it all.
