    @GLS: I think I can report some good news for a change! I think I have found the source of all my "unexplained CTDs". Turns out a C++ Runtime file had become corrupted, in this case ucrtbased.dll. I found this out while being fortunate enough to trap a CTD-up-loading in the VS debugger, which...

    How close are you longitudinally? You have to pretty much be spot on and the LDS only helps with the lateral alignment. This is why they have ground observers stationed in the baskets of the mounts, equipped with radios in direct contact with the driver.

It was going to use a version of the ROEU called the Remotely Operated Fluid Umbilical (ROFU). ROEU was only used to supply keep-alive power to certain payloads to keep things...
