Question

completed ground safety checks
Not sat on the 10B, do they include removal of the pins? Or does that come later (ORA)? IMHO, with the parachute failing to deploy, it raises the prospect that the pins were still in.



neither a mechanical nor a design fault were to blame
So are they suggesting command activated? What about servicing - could a mistake during servicing affect the plumbing enough to lead to inadvertant activation?
