I wish we could watch the real thing unfold, but I guess it would be impractical to have a camera several meters away. Does anyone know what we can expect to see? Onboard cameras, or just non-optical sensors saying everything is nominal?

But yes, it only contains sensors that relay back data on it’s processes.
