As a former shuttle instrumentation engineer, my first question is whether all these measurements went through the same DSC [Dedicated Signal Conditioner] in the midbody.

It almost sounds like a cable burnthrough out in the wing somewhere.

I was confused about the tire pressures. If I understood correctly, they showed an increase, then went offscale low.
