Question/Comment: 

Put shutter close to detector. (OBSOLETE)

Need flexure specs for more than rotation -> include instrument from
horizontal to vertical [for possible future mounting on corner port]

Is thre a tolerance for the alignment of NIC-FPS to the telescope
optical axis? At the corner port, NIC-FPS will "bend" off the PMSS
[primary mirror support structure] by a TBD angle from nominal with
elevation. (OBSOLETE)

NIC-FPS Response:

We will be traveling to APO to discuss these and other issues well
before the CDR.

We will conduct a structural analysis for NIC-FPS.  We will 
include the rotator, NIC-FPS spacer, and optical bench in the
analysis. Going with the NA2 port only for mounting greatly 
simplifies the modeling.

Early results indicate that the optical design and telescope 
pointing map can readily accommodate the as modelled flexures.
