They are studying the feasibility for technical aspect as well as cutting down the time of telemtery downlink. After they get back to him, we may need an MCR. Nobody has a good explanation of why beta-supp is no longer needed. The patch to stop the motion is not part of the safe mode so it past the HGA boom point without an issue.

I've only done a few spot checks so far, but the recent experiments have baselines that are 30+ km shorter at both entry and exit than in the previous period when we were not in beta supplement.
