Avionics
KEEL
One compute core, one imaging chain. Camera and radio never run together.
KEEL is the repeating avionics idea: one compute core, one imaging chain, and a power rule so the camera and the radio do not fight. Radio, battery, and structure change with the vehicle. Demo-1 uses a smaller computer because it only records sensors. Demo-2 is the first flight of the orbital computer class.
Camera and radio share a power budget and are never enabled together. Demo-1 uses a smaller computer because it only records sensors.
