INTRODUCTION

This document is the transcription of the Skylab 1/4 flight crew

commlmications (1) as recorded on the eom-_udmodule (CM) data storage
equipment (DSE) and (2) as recorded on the airlock module (AM) recorder.
Data from these recorders are telemetered (dumped) to Space Tracking
and Data Network (STDN) sites for retransmission to the Lyndon B. Johnson
Space Center. Transcription of these tapes was managed by William A.
Kelley, Test Division, Program Operations Office, to whom inquiries
regarding this document should be referred.

The transcript is divided into three columns -- time, speaker, and

text. The Greenwich mean time (GMT) cOll*mn consists of four multidigit
numbers representing days, hours, minutes, and seconds (e.g., 209 22 3h 14)
for the Julian dates shown as the first three numbers of the time column.
The speaker colllmn indicates the source of a transmission; the text
column contains the verbatim transcript of the communications.

Speakers in the transcript are identified as follows:

Spacecraft:

CDR Comm_nder Gerald P. (Jerry) Carr

PLT Pilot WilliamR. (Bill)Pogue

SPT Scientist pilot Edward G. (Ed) Gibson

CREW Unidentifiable erewmember

MS Multiple speakers

Mission Control Centers:

AA Unidentified station

CC Capsule communicator (CAP COMM)

MCC Unidentified speaker, other than CC, in the Mission

Operations Control Room or a Staff Support Room.

In the text, a series of three dots (...) is used to designate those

portions of the co_m_unications that could not be transcribed because of
garbling. One dash (-) is used to indicate a speaker's pause or a self-
interruption. Two dashes(- -) are used to indicate an interruption by
another speaker or a point at which a recording was abruptly terminated.
_ Words given unusual emphasis by the speaker are underlined.

you push it in, you pull the little thing to
hold ...

SPT ... I see.

PLT ...

SPT ... put a mark in here?

And I got it out of the late update with the red

thought I'd checked that. But I guess I missed it.

CDR Vehicle to vehicle it says on F-11.

320 22 14 28 SPT You know the darn - I've never learned to put
these darn things in here. You know how these
things fit in those little clips? I figured any
time in the simulator these clips were all bent
out of heck and that's why they didn't work. But
here these things are exactly the same way.

320 22 14 42 PLT I'll come down there and take a look at it. Man,
I am really hot.

marks on it. CSM Launch Checklist. Bill do you
have anything in this checklist in the back?

320 22 16 14 PLT I had some photographic settings in it. I don't

want to lose track of it. I want to tear them
out later on.

SPT Okay, I'll just put them - I'll put them up here
in R-I then. Sitting here in R-I. We got some
more room left in R-I for small checklist. This
thing we usually got out of the charts. Let's see
where did I put that chart book. Shove this thing
back up here. Let's see, the Rendezvous Book
goes back with us, doesn't it? Yes, ... record of
it. All the thing ... place. Hello, you mother.

320 23 2h 20 SPT There's the old Moon.

SPT You know what?

CDR What?

SPT I 'm hungry.

CDR (Laughter) Don't mention it in front of Bill.

CDR When I push this ... adaptor back, Ed, ...

SPT Okay .... looking for ...

320 23 25 26 CDR It's in the window shade bag.

SPT Oh, okay, thank you ...

320 23 25 46 SPT Here we are.

320 23 _i 40 SPT It looks clean as a hound's tooth. Okay ...

let's go for a procedure that's more important.
Okay, now. Oh, shoot; where the heck am I here?
On day 2, gosh darn it - day i, dn...._r.

SPT Okay, hatch - hatch verification. And it's on

a decal. Latch handle, pull lightly to verify
your hooks are engaged on 12 latches.

CDR All right. Okay, number l's not engaged fully.

Okay, number - -

SPT No, not engaged - attempt to engage before

releasing. Why don't you just hit it? Is that
all you can do?

CDR No, it feels like it's clear over, but the

handle pulls out.

SPT All right, let's - Let me make a note here.

CDR That 's number 1.

SPT Number 1 handle pulls out.

CDR Yes.

SPT Number 2 is good.

 _ 61

320 23 43 02 CDR Yes, the button's not flush on number i. 3 is

okay, 4 is okay, 5 is okay, 6 is okay, 7, 8, 9,
10, ll, 12. Number l's the only one.

SPT Okay. Now - latch button flush; you've looked

I for that. Power - power bungee fairing,parallel
to plus-X.

CDR The latch button is not quite flush. The power

bungee looks like it is parallel though.

SPT Okay, but the red button is out, huh?

CDR It's Just out slightly.

320 23 _3 56 SPT Okay, now let's see. Let me read you the
contingencies here, Jerry. If not parallel,
which it is, you push the plus-X end of the
bungee before releasing. Unlocked latches -
Let me give it a smack. Can you see it? Is it
made up over there?

CDR Oh, yes. The hook's clear over the ring.

SPT The hook is clear over.

CDR It's just that the little latch here is - See

the handle move?

SPT Yes.

CDR And all the rest of them are - are latched.

SPT I'm not sure what the heck you do in that

situation.

CDR Well, I think you recock it and let her rip

again; I'm not sure.

SPT Okay. Unlocked latches - I guess that's what

they mean. Release - cock - release latches -
That means cock it. Hook does not disengage.
Auxiliary, yellow, push; release, cock, latch.
Think that my - my reading of that leaves a little
bit to be desired, Jer. It's that lower right-
hand corner.

CDR Okay.
 J

62 _

320 23 h5 06 SPT You don't try that yellow jobber-do first, do

you?

CDR No, I don't think so. That's how you get it to

come open.

320 23 45 51 CDR I think probably what I ought to do is cock it

and let her rip, but I think I'll wait - we'll
wait and ask the ground and make sure.

320 23 46 24 CDR Wish I had something to hit it with.

SPT Well, let me see. You want to rap it with tool

E?

CDR Yes, that's an idea. It's not very heavy, though.

Here 's your book.

SPT Okay.

CDR Tool E is right over here. But that might just

be what it takes.

SPT (Hammering) Well, can't think of anything else -

except the EREP tape.

CDR Well, we'll Just wait and ask the ground. I

think -

SPT Let's see, when did he say he was coming up

again?

CDR Ah, at about 52 or 54, something like that.

SPT Okay, tell you what we'll do, Jer - -

CDR Says right on the handle to reset, unlatch the

handle latch, pull back to full stroke, and then
release it.

320 23 47 2h SPT I think that's the only thing we can do, Jer.
Why don't you go ahead and give it a go?

CDR Might Just as well, I guess. It's only one

latch. Wouldn't want to -

SPT l, 2 - Stand by for a clang.

 CDR That did it.

SPT Okay. And so, what'd you do there? That was -

CDR I Just recoeked it and manually released it and

I it went. So we can tell them that when we tal_
to them.

SPT Recocked number 1.

SPT Boy, I feel like I'm standing on my head in here.

You know, I feel - I think when the blood goes
to your head, you get that feeling.

CDR Yes.

320 23 48 12 SPT My head - Boy, I felt as though I was upside down

at that panel there. Okay, GN 2 BT.RRn button,
red; press l0 seconds.

CDR Okay.

SPT Man, you really got me'

CDR Did I?

SPT Yes, really blasted me. I bet you that helped

the cabin pressure ...

CDR Don't think we got 02 flow high any more.

SPT Okay. Record the docking ang - angle index to

0.1 ... I don't have a flash. Yours I guess
we can ...

CDR Oh, I can see it okay. The docking angle index.

There's no ... near here. I thought there was.
Supposed to be.

SPT Heck, all there is is Just a mark in there.

320 23 49 17 CDR Well, there's point - -

SPT Can you read it to O.l?

CDR Yes. 0.7.

64

SPT That's a plus?

CDR Plus 0.7.

320 23 49 36 SPT Okay, and the viewing is going into nighttime.

CM hatch installation. Oh shoot, I hate to do I
that.

CDR Yes.

SPT That's a shame. Well, I guess if you take -

try taking that probe out, you're really - -

CDR Yes, then we got to live with the darn thing.

SPT Yes, shoot.

CDR All right, let's - let me peek up here a little

bit more.

SPT Can you see anything - -

MS +.,

SPT Around the drogue or the - how's it feel? Feel

the top of the -

CDR Well, let's see. Well, there's a good gouge in

that - in the drogue. Some dents.

SPT ... of it?

CDR I don't know. I'm sure it's not mine (laughter).

I didn't hit it hard enough to hurt anything.
Oh, the - the egs of the probe are warm, like
they been sitting out in the sunshine awhile.

SPT ... forest fire down there ....

320 23 51 05 CDR There's only one place on the drogue that looks
like it's been hurt; it's bent. It's got - it's
got a crease in it. And it missed about - look
like whoever it was that hit it, missed within
about 3 inches of the edge of the probe, and
then Just put a big dent in it and slid on down
into the hole. Want to go out and look at it,
Ed, before we ...
 65

SPT Yes, sure.

SPT (Singing) Someone's rocking my dream boat.

CDR Okay, go ahead, Ed. I'm just going to stay

I quietlyhere for a minute.

320 23 51 54 SPT Hey, did anyone ever get a - a picture of the

drogue? You know, we ought to do that. Come
on there, comm cable.

CDR I'm pretty sure Pete and those guys did, for
that failure analysis of theirs.

CDR What the heck am I hanging up here?

CDR There you are.

SPT Okay, thank you. 0h, yes.

CDR Feel that thing ; it 's real dent.

SPT That's right. You're right; that probe's a little

warm, too. Oh, shoot,this gear sure is nice
when it's working. Little cooped in here.

CDR There ain't anywhere to sleep in here.

SPT Well, I think I can find some room underneath the

couch there. Heck, I can sleep up here in the
tunnel.

320 23 53 07 CREW Boy, that is a beauty.

SPT Isn't that a hnmmer?

CDR Boy, that b,,mmer is - that isn't in it. You are

right '

SPT Yes.

CDR That is pretty. Snap that one.

SPT We're going to take a picture and try to point -

CDR Maybe we can get a relief on it, or something,

that will put us on - put an angle on it?
 66

SPT Okay, Bill, I ...

CDR Okay, read on there, monsieur, and we'll wind

this mess up.

SPT Okay. Let me go back here at the CM hatch

integrity check, now. Where are you? Have you
gone to the MDA TUNNEL VENT?

320 23 53 _8 CDR Yes, I did it for 30 seconds, and it's back

down to delta ... DELTA-P.

###
 _-_ DAY 321 (CSM) 67

321 00 01 47 SPT Okay. Check the DELTA-P, recycle to MDA TUNNEL

VENT until DELTA-P greater than 3.5, around
8-1/2 minutes. Now your delta-P didn't change,
did it?

I CDR Yes,it did. It wentup a tad. ,

SPT It went up a tad?

CDR Yes. What it's supposed to do? What we're

doing is we're venting air out of there. Okay,
it's up to 2 now.

321 00 02 i0 SPT Oh, yes. But what I mean is, you went to MDA
TUNNEL VENT for 30 seconds.

CDR Yes.

SPT And then you went to MDA/CM DELTA-P.

CDR Yes, and it read about 0.4.

SPT Oh, I see. We Just verify - oh, we don't -

Okay,waita minute.

CDR Now it's up to 0.2 and holding.

SPT Well, it takes around 8-1/2minutes apparently.

CDR Okay.

SPT Okay, you get the delta-P greater than 3.5.

Then we verify MDA/CM DELTA-P indicator constant
about point - plus, minus 0.2 at last value for
2minutes. Record value.

321 00 03 21 SPT Who are we going to be talking to tonight?

Probably not Jerry Hordinsky. Maybe it's going
to be ...

CDR Oh, we're talking to Zieglschm_d.

SPT Oh, boy. Guess we'll have to ... Well, darn.

SPT Well, I guess we'll tell them we Just - we got

some of the good news in it but not all of it.

SPT Good pills.

f_
68

SPT ... Going to be watching the 02 FLOW, here.

CDR That 0.2 looks good.

CDR Hey, that looks like long - Oh, no, here comes
theSun. !

321 00 04 18 SPT Oh, yes.

321 O0 05 19 CDR This DELTA-P gage isn't doing a darn thing yet.
Sitting at 1.8 - ...

SPT 1.8?

CDR Yes.

SPT Did it get off 1.87

CDR Yes.

SPT Now it's just laying there, huh? Well, they

give you 8-1/2 minutes or so, and it's supposed
to get greater than 3-1/2. Gee, that's such a
darn small orifice there. Did you notice - did ....
you time that? I'm sorry, Jerry, I should've
taken that time hack for you.

CDR Oh, that's all right. Yes. It's 8 minutes ...

SPT Well, let's see, it started out at zero, huh?

CDR Yes.

321 O0 05 59 SPT Well, maybe it's working its way up there, Jer.

CDR How's that 02 FLOW?

SPT 02 FLOW was 0.2 or less when I looked at it.

Still at 0.2.

CDR Okay. So we're not leaking anything out of here.

Well, let me look at the CABIN PRESSURE. That's
the real hooker. That's hard to say. Yes, it's
up. It's still 4 point - I could give it a 4.8.

SPT You know it didn't change very much before when

we - Let's see, we - we didn't vent the tunnel
 69

before. When we filled it up we only dropped,

at the most, point - 0.1-1/2 or 0.2 in here,
and that was, you know, on a full range.

SPT Is that thing still sitting there?

l
CDR Yes. Maybe it's being fed by the workshop.

SPT No, the work - You know, they would have noticed
that the - the workshop would be - be able to
pick up that ...

321 00 07 24 CDR This decal in here says verify cab - the pressure
in the cabin where - you know, 4.7 to 5.2. And
open the TUNNEL VENT valve for 30 seconds, and
then go back to DELTA-P, and recycle until
greater than 3.5.

SPT Then wait 8-1/2 minutes in there.

CDR Yes.

SPT Verify MDA/CM DELTA-P indicator constant - in-

F dicationconstantat 0.2, plus, minus 0.2 ... - -

321 00 07 55 CDR Oh, wait a minute. I know what I'm supposed to

do. I'm supposed to be turning this thing off,
checking DELTA - MDA/CM DELTA-P. Yes. I was
looking at it in the TUNNEL VENT and expecting
to see something. It's 2.5 now.

SPT Oh, okay. Hello, Sun. Man, you're a bright

mother.

321 00 09 29 CDE Is it around 8-1/2 minutes or so?

SPT When it get 's greater than 2.5, that 's when you

CDR Okay, it's gone now to 2 - about 2.7 now. It

takes time, I guess. It's got that little tiny
• orificethere.

321 00 l0 49 CDR Takes longer than 8-1/2 minutes. It's 2.8 now.

SPT Well, okay. Well, we can time how long it takes

to get to 3-1/2. Did you start your watch, Jer,
at delta time?
7o

CDR No, I didn't.

SPT Shoot.

CDR Well, yes I did. I - I started at the count of

30 seconds. Then it was probably about a minute
after that?

SPT Yes.

321 00 ll 19 CDR 12 - 12 minutes right now.

SPT Feeling any better, Bill?

PLT ...

SPT Lay there and take it easy. Anything we can do

for you?

CDR How's your urine bag? Is it full? Keep trying

that; that'll probably make you feel better.

SPT Want anything to dr_nk?

321 O0 12 l0 CDR Okay, it's up to 3.0 now.

321 00 13 52 CDR 3.3.

SPT Okay, do you make anything out of the next one,

which says verify MDA/CM DELTA-P indicators -
indication constant at plus or minus 0.2 at last
value for 2 minutes?

CDR Well - -

SPT What position is your valve in?

CDR It's locked OFF then.

SPT Oh, okay.

CDR You get a delta-P of 3.5 between us and the

tunnel, and then we turn it off and watch it for
2 minutes to make sure it doesn't creep.

SPT Okay.

321 O0 14 44 CDR It would mean we're leaking into there. 3.4.

321 00 16 39 CDR That's good enough, 3.45.

SPT Okay, Now we hold that for 2 minutes. Okay,

3.45, ... 15 minutes.

CDR ...

SPT (Laughter)

CDR I don't know. Longest zero-g airplane I've ever

ridden on•

SPT Yes.

321 00 18 30 SPT How's your 2 minutes there?

CDR About 20 seconds to go.

SPT ... 2.45 ...

CDR It 's about a 3.5 • No change.

SPT Okay.

321 O0 19 23 CDR Okay, what's our next step?

SPT Verify 02 FLOW indicator with no increase. And

•.. MPC here. And verified• Okay, TUNNEL LIGHTS,
OFF.

CDR ...

SPT ...

CDR Okay, I guess that means I'm leaving.

SPT Yes, turn the lights out on you ...

321 00 19 49 CDR The evening status report and a med conference.

Let me write - What time is it here? What time
is -

SPT 01:04 is the Goldstone pass.

CDR And what is that?

SPT And then we don't do anything, I guess. We got

 72

a evening report at 01:S0.

CDR Okay, that's coming up in an hour.

SPT And then we've got a med conference at 02:38.

Okay?

CDR Okay.

SPT We got it all - I don't ... here. Now food.

Meal C. Log menu deviation, CSM Systems Checklist,
S-8.

CDR Well we very nicely stowed the CSM Systems

Checklist in bag number Alfa.

SPT That was very, terribly dumb, wasn't it? I'll

tell you what I'll do. I'll get that fellow out
and meal C is on the side of A-7. Well, wish we
had a rubber band here.

PLT ...

SPT Pardon,

CDR Okay .... Oh, gee. Ed, don't do that.

SPT You have to ..., Bill? Just relax there, Bill.

CDR Red is for CDR. I don't think I'll - I'll mention

anything, Bill, tonight about it. If you still

it. Bill, what about the menu deviations that

you made? I haven't gotten around to you yet.
That's all. Just say he's not hungry. I'm not

SPT Can I get you an orange ...?

CDR Yes, it's up here.

321 00 34 ll SPT Okay, I'll start working the - the water -

321 00 35 23 SPT You got a very full face, Jer.

CDR It feels full.

SPT ... over here.

PLT Oh, can you take that towel down there, if you
will?

CDR I'll take it, Bill.

SPT Oh, I know what 's happened.

PLT Pardon?

CDR Well, okay Just - yes. Just take it easy:

SPT No hurry.

321 00 36 16 CDR I think when they come up again, I'm going to

ask them to hold off the status report until later
because we haven't even eaten yet.

SPT Yes.

SPT ... this cable up something fierce. Wound up

with a big ... here.

CDR It's getting kind of hot in here again, isn't

it Bill? When you get to where you can move,
 78

you might find it more comfortable up in the

tunnel right in front of the cabin fan; after you
get to where you can move.

PLT ...

CDR Well, let's wait until he feels like he can move.

SPT You feel like moving now?

CDR If there was some way of funneling it down to you.

321 00 37 46 SPT Yes. We need a big elephant trunk or something.

That would funnel it down there.

CDR That thing' s armed.

SPT I'ii make it. Take it slow, Bill. Now lock your
head on the hoses. There you go. Turn and it's
looking right at you.

PLT ...

SPT Good.

CDR That's okay to grab the hand controller. It's

locked.

SPT Yes, I wish I knew how much this thing dispenses.

CDR I think it dispenses an ounce. Let me look here.

It'll probably tell us.

SPT Okay.

321 00 B9 12 CDR CSM food hydration water dispenses 1-ounce shots.

SPT It'll be kind of tough to get l-l/2 ounces in

here, isn't it?

SPT I could give you a total water count too, Jer,

when I - over and above what I've had.

CDR Okay. Good deal. Why don't you tell - tell me

that now, Just for water.

SPT Okay. Let me find my - You want to hand me that

empty thing right above there?
 79

CDR Yes.

SPT I think I got four notches in it; I'm not sure.

Put it right along on that.

CDR Yes, you got four.

SPT That makes four, so it was probably eight, 32

probably. That pack was full. I may be having
some more, but that's all right.

CDR Now that's 32 plus two drinks.

SPT Yes, yes, plus two drinks. Yes, I know I filled

that thing four times with water after I had the
drinks.

CDR Yes.

SPT So that 's additional.

320 00 h0 31 SPT Will this interfere with you Bill? Will this
interfere with you? I hope I don't interfere with
_ you,here.

PLT Oh, no.

CDR I'm only going to put three in m_ -

SPT I'll keep track of it for you, Jer.

CDR I'll Just give you a total.

B21 00 41 39 SPT If you want to hand me that checklist with the

menu on it, Jer, probably be very easy. I could
keep score on that thing.

CDR Okay.

SPT Can I help reconstitute anything for you, Jer?

CDR Yes, you can go ahead and do this with hot water.

SPT Okay. Tell you what - -

CDR I got a can of tomatoes around somewhere too.

SPT Oh, is that right? Let me dig back in there.

8O

CDR There's no big rush. I'ii eat that later.

SPT This is for the - m_ peas there, I was minus

1/2 ounce because I only put B in, rather than
3-1/2.

321 00 42 15 CDR A]I right.

SPT They might want to figure - I don't know if they

want a total, or if we can figure out for them
or - -

CDR He didn't have any water for lunch or any recon-

stitution, nor did I.

SPT Just the drink.

SPT Is this black thing supposed to come off? I don't

think so.

CDR No.

SPT You're supposed to cut around it here.

CDR Yes.

321 00 43 30 CDR ... tank.

SPT _-i/2. I guess I could give you _, Jer.

SPT Take it easy.

PLT ...

B21 00 46 16 CDR You know, it Just doesn't make sense. 01d "Iron
Belly" over here is the one who's having trouble.
It doesn't make sense.

SPT I know. It sure doesn't. I was Just thinking

that. The guy who can do _000 whifferdrills and
never feel a thing; the guy who's got cement in
his inner ear. Jer, you may want to knead this
a little bit.

CDR Okay.

SPT I think it's going to take a little work.

This ... is going to get pretty tiresome with my
finger.
8_

CDR Shoot, Ed.

SPT I_1_y, I tucked it right in m_ little - little

321 01 O1 17 CDR Hand me the towel, please, Ed.

SPT All right, if I can find the mother. Oh, here

CDR Just want to have it ready.

SPT ... my real neat idea of putting my can of toma-

toes up there, didn't - was not such a thrilling
one, after all.

CDR Didn't work, huh?

SPT Yes, ... They figured it on - based on a bias of

0.02; 2 degrees per second squared.

321 01 25 12 SPT Man, I can't get over that. It was one heck of
a lift-off. Boy, I 'ii tell you. You really knew
something happened back there.

321 01 27 26 SPT The trouble with these little frapping germicide

pills is from now on you get to play games in
trying to get Just one of them out of there.
You've got to take the cover off of it. Oh' -

SPT ... is something to be desired.

SPT Oh, for crying out loud. Now let me see. Do

we have any tape? That - Why don't you take
that tape I put up there? See it up there, Jer?
No, it's on the hatch. Oh. Oh, yes. Okay,
why don't you just grab that, and I'll wrap it
around it. Okay, Bill, why don't you Just hand

Jer - Bill, right at the end here?

PLT Yes....

SPT Hold on; I'll get you another UCTA, Bill, in

case you might need it.

CDR ... another pro/eph for him?

321 O1 44 26 SPT No, I didn't yet.

CDR Okay.

SPT I think he was going to try and find it in his

pocket there, at the bottom. I'm not sure whether
he was able to do that or not.

321 O1 44 47 SPT I am the keeper of the trashy bag. Bill, here's

another one. You might just want to leave it -
either put it on or - I've been Just leaving one
up here. I have to tend to kind of urinating
into it when I need it. Let me give you another
clamp though; in case you decide to go that way.

I don't know - it's for something.

PLT ...

SPT No, we don't need that coming back. Why don't

I toss it over here in bag A? Make a nice
restraint.

CDR You better get another pro/eph in you right away,

Bill. Give it a chance to work on you.

PLT Okay.

SPT Are they in your pocket, Bill?

PLT No, I put them back there in ...

321 01 46 30 SPT Hold on; let us -

SPT Sit tight ...

CDR Okay.

SPT Put this bag away.

321 01 48 12 SPT Gosh, it's hard to believe there's a big old

heavy Nikon in there.

CDR Yes, it sure is.

SPT Okay.

321 01 52 17 CDR Bill, do you have another fecal/vomitus bag if

you need it?

PLT I don't have one handy.

CDR Tell you what; let me - -

SPT I've got one right here. Okay, let me get some
tissues handy, too.

321 01 52 31 CDR I'm not saying I think you look like you need it.
I Just - it Just occurred to me that if you have
a recurrence, you ought to have something handy.

PLT Yes.

SPT Is that mine floating round?

CDR Yes.

SPT Doggone it.

321 01 52 57 CDR It gets me that there's no Velcro.

SPT ...

SPT Here, Bill, I have the waste up in here.

PLT ...

SPT There we go. Put a little bit there.

 93

CDR What?

SPT Want us to put this up in here?

321 01 54 45 CDR Where's the bag? Down there?

SPT Earth.

SPT - - Velcro on it. It would be nice. Another

nice gesture of interest.
94

CDR Think they Just got into such a flap at the last
there, they didn't - forgot all those good things.

321 02 02 48 SPT I feel like I've been here before? Maybe you ...
movi e.

321 02 03 02 CDR Boy, I sure don't.

SPT Well, the sen - sensations are all different.

All mechanical things that happen, I think we've
all got a pretty good feel for it by just seeing
all the pictures of it. Yuck.

321 02 04 15 CDR Oh, shoot. Look at that - the GMT.

SPT ... problems? What happened there, I wonder.

CDR Oh, it doesn't change at 24.

set this one.

CDR All right. Finish your dinner first. We're in

no hurry.

SPT Boy, that's hydrogen - I guess it is - in that

gas. Turn that water in ...

321 02 05 33 CDR Yes, I've already got it starting to grumble at

me in the back side.

SPT If I eat one of those things, Jer, I'm sure I'll

get sick. I guess I Just about devoured every-
thing I can today .... my little orange ...

SPT Gosh darn it .... drink up ...

321 02 07 08 CDR Yes, I got one in my pocket and two I can't

drink. They gave me two coffees, three oranges,
and a tea today.
 _ 95

SPT You want a strap around you, Bill?

PLT ...

321 02 l0 08 SPT I know one thing. If I keep using roll ons [?]
i I won't have any more temperature left.

CDR (Laughter)

CDR Okay, that's going to be all I can put into this

one. Want to hand me one of those two? Well,
I'll try it. We can get three.

SPT Just hold on. No kidding, I am going ... off

o.o

CDR (Laughter)

SPT Hold on. I've just got to -

321 02 l0 50 CDR I'll go on down in the black hole of Calcutta

here. I've got to get another UTCA out. How
_uy of these do we have?

SPT I only saw - -

CDR Three a piece?

SPT I only saw in that - that bag; there was only

CDR All right.

321 02 ll 42 CDR I wonder how many tissues we have.

SPT That is it; right there.

SPT Yes, I'd better go a little slow on these things.

B21 02 ll 51 CDR I think it'll - that should do it for today.

Okay. Can you move forward a little bit? Are
you - are you finished yet?

SPT All right. Yes, I am. I Just want to get this

tissue box back up here ....
96

CDR Okay.

321 02 12 21 SPT Oh, I've still got a lot of room left in that
thing.

CDR There's a piece of a tissue coming toward you.

SPT ... caught it. No, it Just blew down.

321 02 12 53 SPT There you go.

SPT I am afraid once we turn the ground on to - to

this thing, though, it Just -

CDR Well, I think at] we can say is that (clears

throat) - Bill took his pro/eph and that he's
taken another one. And we got him _mmobilized,
and we're doing - we're doing aSS the things we
have to do.

321 02 13 26 SPT I wonder if we can somehow reduce the severity

of it. Bill - -

CDR I'd Just say he doesn't feel like eating, r

SPT Just doesn't feel like eating.

CDR Chuck, you know, had - ate something and - and

lost it; so he decided Just not to eat anymore.
And he's Just going to remain _mmobile until he
feels like doing something. And we're going to
hit him with pro/eph every 4 hours.

SPT That Just land? I wonder what it is?

321 02 13 51 SPT Let's see - we're coming up on Hawaii; so that

could be Australia. And we're due over Hawaii
in about 15 or 20 minutes.

CDR Sure is pretty.

SPT Lots of good plume patterns for rivers going

into the ocean. Lots of good cloud streets.

321 02 lh 41 CDR Sure wish I had that camera out. That'd be a

perfect shot.
 r
f 97

321 02 14 53 CDB Where is that black bag? Is that in here?

SPT It's right to your left there, Jer; right there.

CDR Oh, there it is right there. I thought it was

I inside another bag.

321 02 15 02 SPT Yes, it was originally, but couldn't start putting

it all in there until ... and others in there.

321 02 16 45 CDR By golly, I think that UCTA is good for another

one, but I don't think I'll wear it.

SPT It does kind of give you that full feeling

around the middle.

CREW (Whistling)

321 02 19 28 SPT Now I know what I could be doing that would

be constructive.

CDR What's that?

f-

SPT Get out my plant.

CDR Hey, here's that little screw.

321 02 19 44 SPT Oh, yes. It came off - -

CDR Floating by.

SPT Oh, I guess it - I think it came off of there.

I had a little screw in there.

321 02 19 51 CDR Oh, it's in there?

SPT Yes. Hey, is this the U - UCTA corner here?

CDR Yes, it looked like a good place and there's

Velcro up in there.

321 02 20 05 CDR Let's see. As long as you're right there, Ed,

would you get out the Stowage Book? I am going
to browse a little more. I think we need to get
some wet-wipes out. We're going to be handling
urine and food. That's not too terribly sanitary.
98

321 02 20 24 SPT Stowage Book?

CDR Yes.

SPT ...

CDR Very good.

SPT Where in the heck were those plants stowed now?

As I recall -

CDR I thought they were over - Were they in U-l?

SPT U-l, I believe. Yes.

321 02 21 06 CDR I put the tissues in U-2, Ed.

SPT Okay.

CDR They're a little handier there, and they don't get

knocked around as much. I mean they're not as
handy, but they don't get knocked around as much.

321 02 21 h8 SPT There's ...

321 02 23 00 SPT I think I'm a little ...

321 02 23 07 CDR Hey, Bill, there's some clothing straps back

here. Would you like a strap to put around your
head to strap you down?

PLT Yes.

CDR You feeling bad again?

PLT No, I actually feel pretty good right now ....

321 02 23 55 CDR Well, eating helped, Bill. And if you ever get
to the point where you think you can, that might
get you out of it. But I guess maybe we tried
to get you to do it too soon. All my fullness
in my head is already feeling a whole lot better.

SPT See that?

CDR The Stowage Book?

 99

321 02 24 21 SPT How many of tham?

CDR Oh, I think he said he put a half a dozen in there

or something like that.

SPT Well, they ought to go at some Judicious location.

321 02 24 28 SPT I'm watching the plants there, Jer.

CDR Where are they?

SPT Right there.

CDR Oh.

321 02 24 40 CDR Well, Bill, I think we better tell the truth

tonight.

PLT ...

CDR Because we're going to have a fecal/vomitus bag

to turn in, although I guess we could throw that
down the trash airlock and forget the whole thing
-_ and just say, "Bill doesn't feel well, and he's
not eating. We got him immobilized with pro/eph."

SPT Could do that. I think all the managers would

be hap - would be happy.

321 02 25 09 CDR Well, let's do that then. We won't mention the

barf; we'll Just throw that down the trash air-
lock. I doubt if you threw up any more than
what you've taken in - in what you took in in
Just a few seconds - a few minutes earlier.

SPT They're not going to be able to keep track of

that. Let's do that, because they seem to make
a big distinction between the - whether you
throw up or not.

CDR Yes.

321 02 25 35 SPT It's small, as the distinction in reality really

is. So it's Just between you, me, and the couch.

SPT You know darn well that every manager at NASA

would probably, under his breath, want us to do
that.
f
100

321 02 27 03 SPT 75 percent left of PSM. And delta 87, 90, 90,
85. You still got a little bit of gas left.

CDR Good. The more, the merrier.

321 02 27 43 CDR See that island down there?

SPT Oh, yes, wet-wipes. Going to try and find some

wet-wipes.

CDR Yes, that's what I am trying to do.

321 02 27 58 SPT Medical conference over Hawaii. Don't know what

island that is. Now I know why the commander's
on the left-hand side. Get all the good views.

CDR Does that help, Bill? Good.

321 02 28 h8 CDR Oh, heck, I hate to even look.

SPT Where is it?

321 02 28 54 CDR I haven't found any yet. I was just going to say
I hate to even look in - -

SPT Oh.

CDR - - any of these.

SPT There's a good place for those little fellows.

CDR Hey, yes.

321 02 29 26 SPT Old sweaty-pa]m time here, Jer. When I looked

over at the fierce look of determination on the
Jerry Cart morale - -

CDR Boy, I tell you (laughter). I was already patting

myself on the back because I slithered in there
and got it the first time. And then the doggone
thing backed out on me, and I just about died.

SPT (Laughter)

CDR However, I remember all the problems you had and

I said, "Well, heck, we ain't anywhere near that
far yet." I don't see wet-wipes here anywhere.
 i01

321 02 30 02 SPT Well, tell you what. Let's take a towel and put
lots of water on it and try and clean up things
as I can. I think things are getting a little
sticky already.

CDR Yes.

SPT Let's see, do we have another towel besides that

one we've been using?

321 02 30 43 CDR I am sure we do. They're all over the place.

SPT ...

CDR You might look in - over here in L-2. I'll bet -

or that's L-3.

SPT L-3, I kind of hate to look in there because I

know we got all kinds of food, and I hate to
delve into there and try to -

321 02 31 00 CDR Where did you get that towel you used?

f- SPT That had the camera, I think, packed.

CDR Oh, that 's right.

SPT Ask and ye shall receive.

321 02 31 12 CDR Good show.

SPT We got lots of towels in here.

CDR Good.

SPT ... I wonder.

CDR Uh-oh, I believe they're here.

321 02 31 33 CDR I think I almost heard a Quindar.

SPT We got signal strength?

CDR No, we don't have. I'm hearing things. Besides,

we don't hear the Quindar anyway.

SPT No, Okay, you want a little hot _zater on here?

f_
102

CDR Yes, that would be good.

SPT Okay. I'll try to make one end of it hot and the
other dry.

SPT Let me get another one here.

321 02 32 22 SPT Okay. You got anything special you would like to
take care of?

321 02 32 25 CDR My hands more than anything else and a spoon. Oh,
that is nice hot water. Okay. I can use this
corner to wipe my hands on. The other corner is
free.

SPT Okay.

CDR I think I am going to ask them to tell us where -

if there's any wet-wipes here, because we can't
find them in the stowage list.

321 02 33 i0 SPT What does that one do? ... cabin fans come on?

CDR Yes,...

CDR That 's pretty.

SPT Think I might have a look in there.

SPT Let's see. That's the conclusion of today, I

guess, huh?

321 02 34 46 CDR Lot of stratus right down on the water.

SPT Yes .... good ... cells down there .... cells

CDR ... cells, yes.

CDR Not too well formed though; not very classic.

SPT No, I saw a nice small patch of them, but there

weren 't that many.

321 02 35 21 SPT You know the horizon is a - When you're first

coming from the black, you see a - a very light
blue and then a dark blue and then light blue
again?
 103

CDR Yes.

SI_2 It 's pretty.

CDR I wonder what that is?

SPT Yes, I sure don't know.

CDR Could that be the ozone layer maybe?

SPT I don't know. Ozone's not this high.

CDR Well, big mother, you're home for 85 days. How

amazing' When I was a little kid, I never dreamed
anything like this could ever happen.

321 02 36 08 SPT Yes. Never dreamed it could happen to anybody -

more or less, me.

CDR Yes.

CDR Really are lucky; you know that? I think they're

getting set to whisper in our ear here.

321 02 36 35 SPT Yes. Let's Just take a very cheerful attitude

with this guy. Make him think that everything
is hunky-dory except for one small problem.

CDR Ought to say, "Hello, doctor ..." (laughter).

CDR Boy, look at that real thick stratus there.

321 02 37 55 CDR Hand me the towel, please, Ed?

SPT Yes. See if I can find the mother. Oh, here

it is.

321 02 38 02 CDR Just want to have it ready.

TIME SKIP

321 03 17 09 CDR What you doing?

SPT I'm looking for that return hose screen, where

the heck ever it is.
 i0_

CDR It's right here.

SPT Oh, oh, right here. This is what they're talking

about, huh?

CDR Yes. There's the other one. And here's one up

here that catches a lot of dust - cabin fan return.

SPT Oh, yes. There are only a few little goodies in

there.

CDR I'm going to have to round up the chlorination

kit. It's packed in all sorts of crazy places.

SPT Oh, boy. Well, I'll help you as soon as I get

that one ... over here.

321 03 17 _2 CDR Well, what's our potable water situation? I'll

take a look over there. Waste water is nearly
zero. Potable water is 30 percent.

SPT That's good; it's coming up. And the old fuel
cells are doing their stuff.

321 03 19 51 CDR Oh, cripe! I'm never going to find it.

SPT Okay, Jer, would you verify a few things over

there for me?

CDR Sure.

SPT Like, you got your SURGE TANK 02 valve is ON,

REPRESS PACKAGE valve is OFF.

CDR Yes.

SPT CM CABIN PRESSURE RELIEF valve - left and right

hand - NORMAL.

321 03 20 38 CDR Okay, they're NORMAL.

SPT Okay. Hatch, PRESSURE EQUALIZATION valve is

CLOSED.

CDR Yes.

SPT Is that one green?

 105

CDR Then a green. That one up there is in the yellow.

321 03 20 51 SPT Which is CLOSED. All right.

CDR In fact, you could go up and see what the delta-P

meter's reading. It should be reading 03.45.

321 03 21 04 SPT That's what it's reading.

CDR Good show. It 's tight.

SPT I'll tell you what.

SPT ... delta-P.

CDR Good.

SPT I'm going to push a MARK button.

SPT What you got there?

321 03 21 33 CDR I've got a PROGRAM ALARM.

SPT Oh, shoot, I hit a MARK button, I think.

SPT i14. More marks, undesired, like one.

CDR Yes.

SPT I had my toe in that wicket there, and I didn't

realize that I had my - also had it in the MARK
button.

CDR Got to watch that.

CDR Get the hump out of these frapping headsets now.

Put the speaker box ICOM ... Panel 98 CALL switch.
We're in CALL, on center; ... on.

321 03 22 44 PLT ...

321 03 22 55 CDR I think we're going to have to disconnect our

headsets.

SPT Give me a little reading.

TI_ SKIP

321 12 06 21 SPT Maybe I can get it while I'm figuring it out here,
hold on. Then again, maybe I can't.

321 12 06 32 CDR Look at all those nice cloud streets. I wonder

where we are? I've not seen any land in quite a
little while. There's a lot over here.

CDR Oh, yes, maybe that is land underneath there.

No, no definition to it.

SPT Boy, you look out this sextant, and you know
you' re really moving.

CDR Here you are.

SPT Oh, yes, we're over land in ...

SPT Okay, what do these fellows take?

CDR 7-1/2.

SPT ... hope we ... get in there.

321 12 07 41 SPT You'll be pleased to know, Jer, that the ...

down here is still keeping perfect time.

CDR Yes, I heard it last night.

SPT Think you can shut it off?

CDR Yes, I know.

SPT You want to turn it off?

CDR It doesn't matter to me. Yes, I guess it wouldn't

hurt to; we don't really need it.

321 12 08 54 SPT Hey, Jer, there's a lot of gas in here.

CDR Yes, it sure causes suffering later.

PLT ...

SPT Boy, I'm glad no one's a smoker.

i_ i07

321 12 09 23 CDR Here you go, Ed. I put a little Velero on them.

SPT Huh? You rip it off the other one?

CDR Yes.

SPT Hey, that's a good idea. We ought to start doing

that. We might be able to use those little
fellows

CDR Not supposed to use them for anything else. Be-

cause it's not that fireproof Velcro. But I
figure they're fair game on the same thing.

321 12 i0 53 SPT Jer?

CDR Oh, yes.

CDR 0h, yes ....

SPT Oh, yes! Look at that definition.

SPT Got one there for yourself,Jer?

other side.

SPT Okay.

CDR Wow. That did come apart .... rascal.

CDR Okay, I'll try and find a ...

SPT ... It 's working.

321 12 28 53 CDR Okay. Bill, would you get the tape recorder

Ed; here's - You want some sausage, Bill? Okay.
Don't reconstitute Bill's sauage then, Ed.

SPT Okay.

PLT ...

321 12 29 lh CDR Okay. Is it in RECORD, or can you tell?

PLT Yes.

321 12 29 29 CC Skylab, we're about 15 seconds until LOS. See

321 12 29 _l CDR Okay, Houston. Is the tape recorder x-_nning

on RECORD? I'm ready to record our PRO values.

CC ...

CDR Okay.

CDR This is the CDR for tape recorder. The PRD

reading for the CDR is h2008_ for the SPT,
23006; for the PLT, 38001.

321 12 30 32 CDR Bill, you want to put that in the pocket? Here,
Ed. It's in your favorite pocket.
i12 -_

321 12 31 52 CDR Bill, you want to turn off that tape recorder?
Oh, okay.

CDR Remember, guys, today the first - first void of

the day goes in the UCTA. And the next void
goes in today's bag.

SPT Today's bag .... we got another UCTA bag stowed

underneath there somewhere?

CDR Yes, there's more in A-6, underneath me.

SPT Okay.

CDR So if you haven't urinated yet this morning, save

it for the old bag. And the rest of the day's
urinations go in the - go in the new bag.

SPT All right.

CDR In fact, we ought to get that done pretty quick,

I guess.

SPT May I have the duty scissors there, please, Jer?

CDB All right.

321 12 34 31 SPT 3-1/2 ounces of hot water. I'll give you 3, Jer.

CDR Okay.

CDR You got any ... so far on your food?

SPT Let's see. No, it's just 7 in there rather than

8; that's grapefruit - everybody's grapefruit
drink.

CDR All right. So that's minus 0.5 for everybody there.

321 12 34 54 SPT No, I think they called for 8, didn't they?

... or was it?

CDH No, it calls for 7-1/2, and you said you only
got seven clicks in? That means you're short
half an ounce.

SPT Yes.

CDR I'll put a minus 0.5 next to everybody's grape-

fruit. .-_
 i13

321 12 35 27 CDR And you say only 3 in the sausage?

SPT Gosh darn it. Hold on. 1-i/2 - I put - No. I'm
sorry, Jer, ... I can't read the darn thing on
the bottom, but I thought it said 2-1/2. But I
think it might be 1-1/2.

CDR That's all right. You're not supposed to eat

sausage today anyway.

SPT Oh, that's right .... 1-1/2. I gave you 2,

unfortunately.

CDR I think it says i-1/2.

SPT Well, Jer, what does the other one say? Can you
read that?

CDR Yes, I'll have to figure it out here.

SPT I think you might have a slightly wet sausage.

Yes, I put Bill's back over here. I'll take a
look at it.

321 12 36 37 SPT i-1/2, yes.

CDR Okay.

SPT Well, you' re plus a half, Jer.

CDR That - that evens me out then; that's okay.

SPT It probably won't be okay when you go to eat it.

CDR I'll get used to that.

CDR Not a bit of Velcro in sight, dagnabit.

SPT Let's see; where is the ... can?

CDR Right chere [sic].

SPT No, that's not it.

CDR I'll find a place to put this, and I'll be right

with you. Boy, without Velcro you're really stuck.
There. In fact, if you get *** you're kind of full.
114

SPT That it is.

PLT ...

321 12 40 22 CDR Well, let's see. Let me Just continue looking

at the postsleep checklist while Ed's fixing
breakfast there.

321 12 40 54 CDR Yes, Story's the CAP COMM.

SPT I'd say there is a little gas in this water.

Son of a gun.

CDR What's your delta on your eggs? Any?

SPT No. It calls for 3, and that's what I put in

there. But, man, it looks like I've got egg soup.

CDR I hope you saved your little Yelcro patch off

your grapefruit drink before you threw it away.

SPT Yes, I haven't thrown it out yet.

CDR Hey, good. Why don't you hand me the Velcro off
of them? I'll stow them along here so that we
can use them on other - other food containers.

321 12 41 57 SPT I'm taking off my Velcro right here. You can
have it.

CDR There's nothing left but lemonade and a beverage -

your beverage.

SPT I've already had my upper this morning. I have

some tea. I'm going to be ricocheting off the
walls.

CDR Yes, we'd better get that void into that bag
before we eat anything.

321 12 h2 3h CDR Now that we've got breakfast ready, we don't want
to screw up any more medical data; so I'll go
ahead and pee in my morning void. Secure the
buttons on that thing.

SPT Jer, you got a place to keep that thing?

 115

CDR Yes, I'm sticking them on the frame of the window

there. I'm cutting them in half to get double
use out of them.

SPT Oh, okay. I 'll do that.

CDR Bill, do you have your UCTA?

PLT Yes, I have it ...

321 12 42 58 CDR Okay. Why don't you finish using it, let me have
it, and I'll put it away in the black bag and
issue you a new one. Actually, we're supposed to
be using urine bags today. Guess I better figure
out where they're stowed and find them.

321 12 43 17 SPT Tell you what - -

CDR I think once we urinate, we won't need them for

a while. We'll find them after breakfast.

SPT Have any drinks in here that need made up for

this morning?

CDR Yes, there's two coffees and a tea and three

lemonades.

SPT Okay, anybody want a lemonade or a - -

CDR I - I think I'll stand pat for a while.

SPT Yes, I think I will too on that. Where - Oh,

there they are. Come on, fellows. Man, I tell
you I couldn't be happier than a clam. Great.
Looking forward to breaking into that workshop
and getting the show on the road.

B21 12 44 07 SPT Do you want any coffee, Jer?

CDR Yes, I'll have some coffee, I think. I'll save

the lemonade for midmorning.

CDR Hurrah. I found it the first time.

SPT ...

SPT Boy, you know, I'm still thinking about that lift-
off. That was - that was a rip-snorter, wasn't
ll6

it? That lift-off. It's like sitting on a -

being in the top story of a twenty-story building
and having the first floor explode.

321 12 45 l0 SPT Instead of crumbling down, you're going up. That's

right.

CDR I was surprised how fast we started feeling g's.

SPT I thought it was going to be quite a little while,

but, boy, I could start to feel that at - after
about the first 30 seconds. After I got that
VERB 82 in, I noticed that I was sinking back a
little bit.

CDR Yes, but you know the g level just kept going all
the way up until we got se - to staging.

SPT You know that thrust-to-weight ratio .... in the

beginning I was figuring it out. It 's like 1.09 ;
1. 093. That 's relatively low.

CDR Yes, it doesn't take long for them to begin to

change.

SPT I can tell I'm going in a hurry.

321 12 46 31 SPT Would you like my contribution to science, Jer,

in my UCTA?

CDR Yes.

SPT Okay.

CDR Take care of your morning void there and get it

put away.

SPT ... up there.

321 12 47 46 SPT No, that's not right. That's ... Oh, I think I'm
going to need another tissue.

CDR Another tissue. Oh, the tissues are in U-2.

SPT Oh, they're back there, huh?

CDR Yes.
_, 117

SPT Now where is it?

CDR They're about where my head is.

SPT There we go.

321 12 48 52 SPT Need a tissue or anything, Jer?

CDR I think I've still got one left from last night.

SPT That's what I thought.

CDR All righty, I'll take another one. Might Just

as well carry a spare all the time.

SPT Is that a big enough one?

CDR Yes. That's the same size as my other one.

SPT After tucking my tissue in there last night, I

found out that I didn't get as much in my UCTA
as I thought or it leaks or that it went back
up into the tissue. Man, did it ever.

CDR Oh, man.

SPT It is wick - -

CDR Wicking action.

SPT Curses ' ... in there. Shoot'

CDR It's a messy business indeed.

SPT Be glad when we get in to the workshop and get

that system going.

B21 12 50 09 SPT The whole darn thing is backing out. The whole
gosh darn thing is leaking.

CDR Just blow on it, Ed. That will push it back in.

SPT Gosh darn it'

CDR You need another UCTA? No, we don't have any

more.

SPT No, I'll try to -

i18

321 12 50 43 CDR Well, opening that black bag ought to be a dinner

spoiler.

321 12 51 01 CDR You all through, Bill?

PLT ...

CDR I find the best way is just take the darn thing
off and hold it up straight. It's easier to go
into.

SPT I think ... and ... wanted this thing. I'll try
and move it down there, somewhere in the middle.

CDR Okay. You got the trash bag?

321 12 51 19 SPT I hope so....

SPT Need any more tissues, anyone?

SPT Come on ... Here we are.

CREW Excuse me ...

SPT What ... we work with?

CDB ...

SPT I can't remember.

321 12 52 57 CDR Any other UCTAs ready to stow?

SPT All right, in a minute. What?

PLT ...

SPT Okay.

321 12 53 05 CDR All right, just hand it to me when you're through.

321 12 55 02 CDR Yes, I'll move the black bag over here.

SPT What? Okay.

CDR Got it. All right, ...

PLT ...
_ 119

SPT You're going to find it's kind of hard to take

the pain when you miss with the clamp. Sure lets
you know you're alive.

SPT Okay, Jer, little black bag ready for - -

SPT Oh, yes!

SPT - - another friendly face.

CDR I hope that's all it's going to take because

it's getting full. You ready?

SPT Roger.

CDR Hold your nose.

SPT Go. I'm going to start ... up a little now.

CDR ...

321 12 57 38 CDR Yes, we got to use the workshop bags today. Yes,
we'll locate those after breakfast.

PLT ...

CDR Yes, really, the towel would be better.

SPT Yes, I think you're better with a towel. Let's

see; where did I say I'd found a whole pile of
towels?

321 12 58 08 CDR Right here. Let's Just mark this one up. I'll
put an X on the end we are going to use for
cleaning up your hands after urination, and the
other end of the towel -

SPT There were some more towels right in back of

us somewhere here. You know last night I kind of
slept Just like this - kind of floating.

CDR Yes.

SPT ... back and forth between the - the hatch and
the chair. The couch here.

CDR How did you sleep?

F
 J

120

321 12 58 37 SPT Pretty well until I - I guess I woke up about -

I'ii be darned if I know. I think I remember
it was 2 or 3 hours before we were supposed to
be getting up here. Then, I was kind of half -
half awake from there on ... Then for the last
half hour, I was looking out the telescope.

CDR I guess I slept - I must have got 50 percent

efficiency out of that sleep. I was sleeping
for half hour, three quarters of an hour; then
awake for 5-10 minutes; then back again.

SPT I dropped off pretty well at the beginning there.

CDR I think those beds are going to be nice with

those big bellybands on them, because that's
sure what made me sleep better last night -
is when I grabbed a couple of cargo straps and
strapped myself down to the locker. Then I
felt like I was being pushed up against something,
and I slept a longer stretch at a time.

PLT ...

321 12 59 42 CDR How about your audio tone? Okay, We're not
reading you at all. We're not reading you on
intercom at all. Are you hearing us? ...

SPT ...

CDR Now try.

321 12 59 56 PLT Oh, yes, it's just ...

CDR Okay.

SPT Let's see now; ... coffee.

CDR Yes, I decided I was going to have coffee, and

I'll hold my lemonade until later.

SPT That's day 4. How'd we ever get day 4?

PLT What? Okay, we're coming up AOS. It's ...?

321 13 00 16 SPT Is that all?

 121

CDR Is this day h, too? These don't even have labels

on them.

SPT Oh, shoot.

CDR Well, the heck with them; coffee's coffee. Bill,

you don't want any coffee, do you? Or would you
like some?

CDR Now, Ed, there is a handle right here, your end,

which is probably going to be in your way.

321 14 ii 04 PLT I got my hand on the hand controller, so it'll

take ...

CDR 0kay, let's put it down so it's ... a little bit.

 i_3

PLT Okay, you're putting quite a bit of pressure on

the hand controller.

CDR Oh, okay.

PLT On my finger, rather (laughter).

SPT Okay. You got to - get that hose out of the way,
and let me shift it over that way. There we go.

PLT Now I'm in the way.

SPT Okay. Now, Bill -

PLT No, this ... you got to -

SPT Okay, now I've got to find some way to hold that
mother down. I'm not sure what al1 those cute
little snaps are for. Could you put your hand on
that so it doesn't ...? ... - while I go get the
straps ...

CDR Okay, Bill, have you - Let's see what all you've
_ doneso farhere.

321 i_ 12 08 PLT I'm getting ready - As soon as you all open the
hatch. See all I had to do was dry out the evap-
orator and start a battery charge - -

CDR Yes.

PLT - - and we've already done that.

CDR Okay, so your next step then is the suit circuit

activation?

PLT That 's deactivation.

321 14 12 23 CDR Yes, and I'll - I'll go ahead and get the hatch
open.

SPT I'ii be right with you, Jer.

CDR Okay, no big thing.

PLT I do it after you - -

CDR Okay.
 PLT - - open the hatch.

SPT Can you put this thing down anywhere over there,
Jer - Bill? ...

CDR ...

PLT I've got the wrong strap.

SPT Well, ... they're all that way. Here, hook this
up some .... something ... way they've got one
special location where everything goes.

PLT Yes.

SPT ...

321 14 13 03 CDR Okay, we've got minus 0.1 of a pound on the

DELTA-P meter here .... what does that ...

PLT Okay, I'm going to put it on a rather fragile

range here. It won't hurt anything but load it
dow-2.

CDR I see. Minus 0.1, I think, means we're low.

PLT Yes, let me read the note on that too.

CDR Minus means we're on the low side, doesn't it?

PLT That's the way I understand it.

CDB All right, here goes the PRESS EQUALIZATION

VALVE, OPEN.

SPT Watch our cabin pressure, Bill.

CDR Yes, it's coming into us.

321 14 13 47 SPT Cabin pressure going up?

PLT I don't see it going up; I'm watching it. I did

see it go up a little bit.

321 14 14 13 CDR Okay, it's open. DELTA-P is now zero.

 145

PLT "Watch out for debris," it says. "Release

handle safety trigger - life and rotate 90
degrees toward hatch."

CDR Done.

PLT "Caution: Small delta-P may exist across hatch.

Release and grip handle securely when opening
hatch. Release handle to OPEN - to stop."

CDR Okay.

PLT Watch your knuckles when you do that.

CDR Here's your book, Ed.

PLT I'll take it.

SPT Okay .... my eyeballs ...

321 14 15 01 CDR Okay. It's open.

PLT Okay. Push hatch open to detent lock.

CDR It looks just like the simulator, guys. Push

open to detent, huh?

CREW ...

PLT Yes, you know, it has that little ratchet latch.

CDR Okay.

PLT All righty. And on panel lO1, which is a little

switch panel, interior lights on, and it should
give you four lights in the MDA.

321 l_ 15 40 CDR That's right. Just inside here, isn't it?

PLT Yes.

CDR Let's see. I need a little more umbilical here.

PLT You're going - I'm not sure you can even make it.
Let me try and give you some more.

CDR Oh, man. Soon as I get the lights on, you guys
got to come up and look at this.
146

SPT Okay.

CDR It's purty [sic].

CDR It is nice and cool too.

SPT ... find someplace to put this blivet. Well,

CDR I think I've got enough right now.

PLT Okay.

321 14 16 17 CDR I need a flashlight. I think 101's this little

box just inside the hatch here - -

SPT That was a lousy idea.

CDR Anybody got a match?

MDA. Okay ... - -

CDR Give me my checklist, and I'll get started here.

SPT Okay, now we also got that frapping ... Is that

included in this thing?

CDR I don't see how we can; we don't have a camera

that works. I'd have to go in and get a lens to
go with it.

SPT No ... that camera up there? A11 you got to do

is go over and turn that camera on, and it's set
for us to come in.

321 lh 17 29 CDR Oh, okay.

SPT Remember, that 's what ...

CDR Yes.

SPT Apparently they have not put that in the check-

listbecauseI don'tsee it.

CDR All right.

321 14 17 _ SPT Why don't we get that done, and then we can press
on with the rest of the - Why don't we Just go on
off headsets because otherwise we'll never be
able to move in and get the drogue and probe and
all that stuff, too.

CDR All right. Let me go back and just recap every-

thing here and make sure we've done a] ] the things
we're supposed to do.

SPT Okay, dr°gue and probe - -

CDR Secondary glycol evap dryout, complete; probe

removal; drogue removal; bat B charge; you're
finished with that, Bill?

PLT Yes, but I'm recharging bat A.

CDR Okay. Suit circuit deactivation complete yet?

148

B21 14 18 19 PLT I'm getting in the process. Would you give me a

9 Delta inhibit?

CDR 9 Delta. Got it.

PLT Okay, SUIT COMPRESSORS are going OFF.

CDR Okay, we got to stow the probe and drogue now.

That comes in here. Let's see, are we AOS now?

CDR Yes, I suspect they decided not to do it. Yes.

Let me go off the headset and go on in ....
checklist ... All right, it ain't going to hurt.
We got - Let's see, when did they say the next
AOS is?

321 14 19"56 PLT 04 I thought he - Oh, heck, that can't be right.

14:19 - 20 now. He told me, and I didn't write
it down. I thought he said 04, but I - That
can't be right.

CDR Okay. Well, I'm going to go off the headset

here. Go down and turn on the television and the
VTR, and we'll record it whether they like it or
not. They got plenty of time to turn it off.

PLT Okay.

CDR Okay, here's what we're going to do while we got

a drogue and a probe to stow.

CDR Yes.

PLT Reroute suit hose to avoid hatch interference.

CDR ...

321 l_ 21 B4 SPT Save some looking for us.

PLT Yes, that's one of my jobs; I'm waiting until

you get through. You're supposed to route them

TIME SKIP

322 04 34 01 SPT This is the SPT talking about some medical obser-
vations. They best be sent to Jerry Hordinsky,
over in the medical directorate. Today, Jerry was
Just about full speed al] day long. He had a
slight stomach awareness on occasion when - when
either maneuvering a lot and close to a mealtime -
That's before a meal. After a meal, he had no
problem. As soon as he would stop whatever he was
doing it would dissipate, and he could press right
on. Bill started slow, very cautious, and has
been gathering speed all day and is now Just about
100 percent. We expect that in the next 2 or 3
days we ought to be able to all carry a full work-
load. I've had no sensations whatsoever, in terms
of stomach awareness of any kind, and I have been
maneuvering an awful lot. The only thing I have
noticed is a slight discomfort from the feeling
_- of a full head. All of us have experienced a
fullness in the head, probably more so yesterday
than today.

322 0h 35 15 SPT We could feel it decreasing, or that is, at least

we've - our perception of it is decreasing.

322 04 35 21 SPT Our faces are puffed and slightly chubby and red,
resembling what you would see for someone hanging
upside down in one g, only it's not quite as pro-
nounced. We also have the feeling of a - a stuffy
nose which has been alluded to another place.
Along with the red face, we al] have slightly
bloodshot eyes. We expect it's from the same
reason; Just a higher blood pressure in the upper
extremities. But that's the only thing we can
attribute it to. We have not had any other eye
irritations that we can recall. We also have -
Each one of us experienced a little bit of sneez-
ing yesterday and today; not a large amount, but
certainly more than normal. The blood preesure,
which Jerry took on me, might not be 100-percent
accurate, as we had a tough - Jerry had a tough
time picking up the systole [sic] and diastole
[sic].
160 __..

322 04 36 33 SPT The - sound itself was very faint. And he could
not detect the onset or - or when it dissipated,
with great precision.

322 04 36 49 SPT We'll be talking to you some more tomorrow, Jerry.

322 04 37 05 SPT This is the SPT tal_ing about stowage. This best
go to FA0. For lack of a better place and not
seeing one called out, we stowed the M0171/73
black bag behind 553, the food freezer on the
floor. And we'll leave it there until we hear -
hear from you folks. We'll remember where it is.
Had it there during training and it seems natural.

322 18 22 03 SPT This is the SPT; the subject is Mll0. First with
numbers for the ASP: CDR, 172; SPT, 183; PLT, 090.
Blood sample vials: CDR, 008; SPT, 075; PLT, 077.
The day of the year is written on each colored de-
cal on both the ASP and the blood sample vials.
There is some air in the SPT's blood sample. I had
to use two ASPs, that's A-S-P-s, to process the SPT's
blood. Finally the blood coagulated in the needle
and did not draw _mmediately into the ASP when I
first put it on, just a small amount. I thought
perhaps I hadn't drawn a vacuum, so I took it off,
tried it again, then checked the vacuum. And the
second time it worked, but I had to force a little
in there to break it loose, and then it went in
pretty well. As far as drawing blood, we've had
no problems with - with that. That's been a rela-
tively minor part of it. It's pretty much the same
as on the ground. The hemoglobin concentrations
follow: For the CDR, 16.0; SPT, 15.6; PLT, 16.6.
Urine specific gravities, and these are all for the
second of the day, rather than the first: CDR,

by interpolation. The SPT's was much lighter in
appearance and is con - consistent with the numbers.

322 18 24 49 SPT I think the next time around should go significantly

faster. Problem we have here is we were trying to
do some nominal operations before we ever got the
stowage near nominal.

indicated that it should be in lor.ker 760. Locker
760's got an SMMD in it, and there's no way I'm
going to get food package number 6 into that
locker. I think probably the appropriate locker for
the food package is the locker 711, and that's
where I'm going to put it. Further in the Acti-

no room in locker 704 because it's I_,11 of partitions

of what light ED63 has seen. On day 320, that's
the day of launch, we had 3 hours of direct sun-
light on it in the co,_f_nd module. On 321, now,
they were brought down to the OWS, put in the
wardroom in their operational location. Now at
18:00 GMT, the lights were .on_ and then at 320 -
day 322, the lights were off at 05:00. Then
again this morning they came on at 14 - 13:00 GMT.
The l_m_nescence which I got keeping the spot-
meter sort of consistent across the page - better
than all the locations of the three vials, is 27
foot-lamberts.

323 12 ii 19 SPT This is the SPT with the 133 log. Day of the
year, 333 [sic]; length of sleep, 6.7; it was
good; quality 4. The tests at the start of the
sleep period, which commenced at 05:19 - the tests
showed all electrodes good. Upon arising, C-1 was
fin]g; 0-1, 0-2, and C-2 were off. By pressing
them back into the skull, I could get them to come
back on. But apparently, the cap either was not
on tight enough or I had to use much more - use
more electrolyte than I did. So I'm not sure at
what time during the night we lost electrical sig-
nals. I'll be glad to give it another go tonight ;
Just let me know on an update. What I plan to do,
166

if we do do it tonight, is just put some more into

the - little bit more electrode into the elec-
trodes and then pull the cap tighter.

323 16 ii 05 SPT This is the SPT at 16:09. Subject is the SMM cal.
First one was - unit was done in the head. Start
time was 14:51, stop at 15:05, day of the year 323.
Picking uo on log in section 5. Temperature was
76 with the ambient thermometer and 78 read out on
the SMMD. The first sequence was done with zero
mass and as written in the checklist. First read-
ing was 1.96565. The remaining nine readings, which
I can give you now - only the last three digits will
be read. The first three digits remain the same;
that is, 1.96. Second one is 544; third, 602; three
[sic], 601; four [sic], 595; the sixth, 611; seventh,
611 too; eighth, 615; ninth, 591; and last, 576.
I also did a second zero-mass calibration. This
was done in the way which Bill Thornton, Rusty
Schweickart and myself talked about before flight.
And that is, the unit was not locked between each
reading or the RESET button was pushed, so that
during the total of l0 readings, the same oscilla-
 167

tion was used. And, again, I'll Just give you the -
the last six numbers - the last three n,-,hers after
I give you the first one in total. 1.96551, 539,
590, 546, 589, 549, 603, 571, 592, 578. And Bill
Thornton can take a look at those and see whether
there's any advantage in doing it in that manner.

323 16 ll 25 SPT The next zero-mass cal was done on the SMMD unit
in the wardroom and day of the year 323; start time,
15:07; stop, 15:20. Temperature read 73 on the
ambient thermometer and 77 on the SMMD. Now the
zero-mass sequence, which was done in the nominal
mode as per checklist, reads as follows. I'll read
the first nnmber total and then only the last three
digits of the remainder. 1.955h6, 490, 536, 535,
547, 521, 511, 559, 559, 534.

323 16 12 37 SPT Now I'll read the second mode in which the zero cal
was done on the SSMD - the SMMD in the wardroom.
And, then again, the RESET button was pushed between
each reading, but the unit was not locked, so it
vibrated continuously. 1.955h7, 536, 5h6, 53h, 53h,
565, 54h, 550, 566, 564.
f-_

323 16 13 41 SPT The last zero-mass cal was done on the EMMD check-
list - or log, as on page 6. Crewmen acc_plished
the cal of the SPT; day of the year, 323; start
time, 15:35; stop 15:50. Temp, 81 on the ambient
thermometer and 8h as read off the _la4D. First
sequence, which was done in the nominal way, as -
as in the checklist, zero mass. Both belts were
tied as tight as possible and no oscillation of
the belt could be noted during the reading. And
I used no tape. CS_ay, the readings for the first
sequence follow. And I'll only read these last
two digits of 2 through 7 - or 2 through 10, as
those are the only ones that change. First,
2.69999, 82, 82, h6, 65, 87, 49, 73, 97, 63.

323 16 15 24 SPT The second sequence was also a zero-_mass cal,

done by not locking the unit between readings,
but only pushing the RESET button, in the same
manner as I Just discussed on the SS - the S_4D.
Again, only the last two digits of 2 through l0
will be read. First, 2.6999_, 90, 61, 86, 59,
168

40, 75, 61, 77, 58. That completes the readings

of the numbers for the zero-mass cal. Some addi-
tional information which you folds wanted on it:
the CDB, SPT and PLT, during all of the weighings
on the BMMD wear either socks, undershirt, and a
T-shirt; or undershorts and a T-shirt; or a full
union suit or a one-halfunion suit with a
T-shirt. And all of us also have our watch and
dosimeter with a short strap on. During all of

324 00 02 27 SPT The SPT, 00:02, talking on medical observations.

And this should go over to Jerry Hordinsky, the
medical director. We as] have noticea - too
much since we got here - a dryness of the skin
and certainly in the mouth. And a good part of
the dryness that we feel in the mouth is from the
medications which we've taken. We noticed that
on the ground, but, apparently, this atmosphere
up here really enhances that. One interesting
thing I've noticed in the effect of zero g - Well,
it's really an effect of body orientation on the
room you happen to be entering - that I can move
into a given room sideways or upside down and not
recognize it, or I would recognize it, but I
would not feel at home in it.

324 00 03 24 SPT But as soon as my body would rotate to the one-g

attitude, that's the attitude which I had in
working with - in the trainer for well over a
year now, then allof a sudden my mind would
flash and say, "Yes, I know where I am," but until
that time, why it would look like something en-
tirely different that what I had been working in.
P It's as thoughyour mind won't recognizethe -
the situation you're in until it sees it pretty
much in the old standard way. And as soon as you
get pretty close to the right orientation, then
all of a sudden, zap, you get these - transfor-
mation made in your mind that tells you exactly
where you are.

324 00 04 23 SPT I noticed this effect especially in traveling

from up in the MDA through the OWS forward area
and then finally coming down into the experiment
compartment on the lower deck. When I come in
there, everything looks sideways. And not until
I rotate and put myself in the same attitude as
I do in the one-g trainer, do I really recognize
and feel familiar.

324 00 04 49 SPT The lack of one-g has some odd effects; for ex-
ample, we've noticed it's very hard to tie your
shoes. You usually use one-g, believe it or not,
to pull yourself down.

324 00 05 06 SPT One thing I'm trying to do is to keep the calves

in shape. And two things there: Just move the

f--\
 .f

172

triangles to the very tips of the shoes so that

I have to use _ calves more and whenever I'm
anchoring m_ feet in; and, also, I'm not tying
the top two laces on the shoe so that I don't get
the extra ankle support from them.

converted to the M092 dump - we're not able to use

syringes that we used yesterday, cleaned it up
and - to avoid having to use a syringe with anti-
coagulant in it. In the plasma cartridge for the
PLT samples, I'm afraid we've got some - It's not
a pure plasma. We did get some - some red cells
in there. And I'd like some words - words from
you folks, if you could, on how I can avoid this

I checked - and that was in position Echo 2 -
When I checked the position, there was a DAC 01
in position at Echo 2. So I went to the locker
upstairs, and I found DAC 02 and came down and
replaced DAC O1 for DAC 01 [sic] upstairs in the
500 locker over to the right of the film vault.
Then we had problems with DAC 02. It didn't
work; so I went back up and got DAC 01. I don't
know why. It apparently is a malfunction in the
camera DAC 02, and it is now stowed in the 700
locker to the right of the film vault, and I'm
using DAC 01.

324 15 48 20 PLT I guess the point is that it looks like that

DAC 02 is bad - intermittent power.

We're told to go with the way the Activation said,
which is to put number 1 down at the ankle. When
we do this, though, it looks as though we're miss-

324 20 46 57 SPT Again, this is the SPT with a general comment on

medical experiments. In general, I think we're
gaining speed and will be able to accomplish these
things with perhaps a little more accuracy and
a little more speed as we gain more familiarity.
One factor that is causing us to start off slow
is the relatively small amount of training and,
in some cases, no training that we have had on
some of the additional experiments. They're all
good things to be doing and we're glad to have
them on board, but bear with us because we haven't
had any training on some of them and very little
on others. Includes facial photos, IR photos,
limb measurement, blood flow, and stereo photos.
We'll try and keep you posted on how we're carry-
ing these things out. And if you have any ques-
tions, give us a call.

few days in which we had red-colored plasma.
One, day 323, was in the SPT's and 324 was in
the PLT's. In the first day -"that's 323 - SPT's,
I did notice some air bubbles in the syringe.
In the second day, for the PLT, I did not. Did
you force any blood into the ASP? I did not
on the PLT's, not noticeably; on the first one -
with the SPT's - I did. So I guess both of these
questions are answered positively for the first
day with the SPT's samples, day 323. Did you
f--.
182

notice any differences in the PLT and other Sam-

pies relative to these procedures? Well, yes,

woke up for about an hour during the middle of

holes into the canister. And I had to scurry

around. And first, the spin handle was completely
inadequate for mechanical advantage. I had to
find a 90-degree - or Allen wrench - it was Just
hidden away in one of the tool boxes - and other-
wise, I'd have been unable to screw them in. And
I finally was able to - In Jack Lousma's spare

at once. On MODE SELECT, ABSOLUTE. Tone. Okay,
I'm sorry.

SPT That 's okay.

200 ._

PLT That's when they tell I will get the tone - at

that point.

SPT That's right.

PLT But it says at the tone and you ought to verify;

so it's okay. Go ahead.

326 17 07 04 SPT Okay. So, Jer, EV - let me tell you now that
the _MU integrity check's complete. We're going
to temporarily stow our cue cards down here, and
you read to us from here on.

CDR All right. I got a couple of little things to do

up here with some 02 valves, like cut off your
water and all that good stuff. Be right with you.

326 17 07 39 SPT Let's not get ourselves crossed up here.

PLT Okay, let me get on the -

SPT Listen, don't go on up there yet, because I think

he - Jerry's going to have to come on in and stow, .
I guess, your LSU.

CDR All right. Let me get these oxygen things done.

SPT We'll wait until Jerry's ready to go.

PLT Yes, I want to get out - I want to get out um-

bilicals straightened out here.

326 17 08 01 CDR Okay, I verified that we got 02 pressure which is

good in the regulators; I'm going to turn off -
120 PSI REG B. 0kay, it's OFF. Let's see. The
drop was - Yes, it was fine. It was less than
i0 psi. All right. Verify your LOW VENT FLOW
lights are off.

326 17 08 32 SPT That's verified.

CDR Okay.

SPT Two verified.

CDR Uh, Bill?

PLT Yes.
 201

the other side of the pole.

326 17 09 08 CDR ... LOW VENT FLOW lights are off.

SPT Go on over to thatwall and up.

PLT Yes.

CDR Ed and Bill, check your LOW VENT FLOW lights off.

SPT They're off.

PLT Off.

326 17 09 i_ CDR Okay. Okay, EV-I, pro - proceed to the AM; enter
head first, and I'll be restowing as you're coming
along.

PLT In work.

CDR Don't go too fast now, or I won't be able to get

this restowed.

PLT I knocked the C-clamp off.

SPT Well, that's all right; it's tethered, isn't it?

CDR No.
2O2

CDR Bill, you - you're in too fast now. Just - Why

don't you go on back out a ways. I'm not going
to be able to manage your LSU with you up here in
with it. And then as you come in here, if you can
- No, I'll do that. I was going to say I was go-
ing to have you take care of the C-clamp. Is
this your umbilical now? All right.

PLT Don't I come in feet first? Head first.

326 17 l0 18 CDR Looks like feet first would be the way. Once
you're towards - -

326 17 i0 22 PLT Yes. I think that's wrong. I think it should be

feet first, from this end.

SPT I think you're right, Bill.

CDR Now remember, guys, don't be bulls in the chin

shop. Try to take it slow and easy. Let me get
this clamp put away.

PLT I'm with you, Jer.

CDR Now that clamp was way back here in the - Yes,
just tuck it in the corner there. It's a con-
tingency item. Well, there's no lanyard for it.
I'm going to - I'm going to put it on this panel
320 - -

326 17 ll 00 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Hawaii for 9

minutes. Out.

CDR Roger, Houston.

CDR And I'm Just going to clamp it on, Ed.

SPT Go ahead, Jer, because if the time comes when we

need it, we'll have lots of extra wrist tethers at
that point.

PLT Yes, Just screw it on inside one of those rails.

We needed that tether for something else.

CDR Okay. There, all right. Bill, you can move on in

now.

PLT Okay.
-'_ 2O3

PLT Slow and easy.

CDR Okay, that's probably about all - all we ought to

stow, I think - I think you are going to need a
few feet to move around with.

326 17 12 01 CDR Okay, Bill's in the airlock module now.

326 17 12 09 PLT Okay, I'm about where I normally am for the train-
ing exercises.

CDR All right.

CDR EV-2, head on up to the hatch.

SPT Okay. Coming up.

CDR Now. I've got to mauage your umbilical.

PLT You going to stow that?

CDR We're supposed to stow your umbilical in the aft

compartment.

PLT Oh.

CDR Bill, you're going to have to move to your right

or your left.

PLT Okay, I'll - Let me move to my left - -

CDR All right.

PLT - - and I'll let you by on the right; the correct

side to get to it.

326 17 12 49 CDR Man, are we large.

PLT Why don't you let me do that, Jer?

CDR That's all right.

SPT Yes, I think that's not a bad idea.

CDR Better save your - -

PLT See you got that occulting disk there and everything
right in the way.
2O4

SPT See, there's no - there's no way you can stow it

all in here, and then let me in too. Bill's
going to have to eventually push it back in here.

CDR All right, Ed. You want to go in feet firsts right?

326 17 13 18 SPT Right.

CDR All right, and I'ii Just guide your feet as I move
out of here.

326 17 14 07 PLT Man, that is a real tight fit. Let me - I think

the T025 is in the way.

SPT Yes, I think you're right.

CDR Okay. Be sure you look that hatch seal over real
well, Ed, before you close it.

SPT Okay, let me do that. And I tell you what, Bill,

let me pass this back to you.

PLT Just a second.

SPT Take ... - take it off.

SPT That's a good idea.

CDR Slow and easy. Okay, that's far enough. You got
a hatch to close, I think.

PLT Now let me - okay, I'm - going to get out of your

way.

CDR All right, I 'm out.

326 17 14 29 PLT Let me take mine off, too. Bend it slightly - I

can't quite get -

PLT There we go.

SPT Okay, now-

CDR Okay, Ed, you inspect the seal; when - when you're
done with that, holler.
 205

SPT Okay, just a minute, we're going to get T025 moved

back here.

326 17 14 46 PLT I got it caught on the edge of the hatch back there.

SPT Stand back. I'ii fix it.

SPT Okay. Now move her back.

CDR Houston, how do you read?

326 17 15 00 SPT Carefully - okay.

CDR Houston, Skylab; how do you read?

SPT Now, let me take a - look the hatch over.

326 17 15 08 PLT Be real careful now, the T025 camera is above your
knees there.

SPT Yes.

326 17 15 38 SPT Okay, that hatch seal looks good, Jerry.

CDR All right, RELEASE HANDLE to UNLOCK.

326 17 15 50 CDR And HATCH HANDLE, OPEN.

PLT RELEASE HANDLE, I think, is on the other side there,

Ed.

SPT Right here?

PLT Just a second. Well, I better hold T025 here.

326 17 16 18 CDR Release the hatch from the wall and close it while
entering the aft - aft lock.

SPT Okay, you take it off the hinge?

PLT No, I don't think you have to take it off the hinge.

CDR It should just swing into place.

PLT Let's see, it goes that way. Why in the devil

did they have me train on that and then call you
out to do it?
206

SPT Now, hold on now.

PLT You got something on the other side of it, I think.

SPT Yes, I see it.

326 17 17 28 PLT All right, watch the camera up there.

SPT Yes.

PLT Now, I said that it went that way. That thing

may turn around the other way. I didn't think
you could reverse the number panels, though,
same both ways.

SPT ... off in both directions.

SPT Hey, Jer?

CDR Yes?

SPT When you came down here, which side of this panel
was facingyou?

CDR I didn't notice.

326 17 18 37 MS ...

PLT The rib ought to be on this side.

SPT No, darn it - let's see here.

CDR Now your HATCH HANDLE on your side is going to have

an EQUALIZE PRESSURE and an UNLOCK -

PLT Yes.

CDR Okay.

PLT Let me see what the other side has on it.

326 17 19 13 CC Skylab, this is Houston. 1 minute to LOS, next

station contact is 3-1/2 minutes through Goldstone
at 17 :23. Out.

SPT Bruce, how do you read?

 207

CO Loud and clear.

SPT Okay, how about panel - hatch 325. Is the ribbed

side towards the AM?

CC That's the forward one?

PLT/SPT The aft one.

CC SPT, Houston. The 325 - the aft hatch is not supposed

to be closed, Just the 0WS hatch back there. Over.

326 17 20 21 SPT Okay, there you are.

CDR You have to go in and unlatch it, Ed.

SPT Yes. I want to get this one out of the way.

PLT That - for crying out loud.

SPT (Laughter)

PLT Darn thing is always in your way.

SPT Yes, let's see now, how did you have it before?
Like this? That will do it, will it not?

PLT Yes, that'll be all right. Back - no.

SPT Okay, read what it says, Jer.

326 17 2i 20 CDR Okay, here we go again. Inspect the hatch seal

for obstructions.

SPT Have done it.

326 17 22 12 SPT Coming down.

PLT Yes, we've got this out of - somehow this is not

quite right.

SPT Okay, where do you see the camera? Is that still

there?

PLT It's - it's still up there, all right.

326 17 22 17 SPT Okay, now just a minute. Don't push that thing
into me. Let me get this closed. Okay, go ahead.

326 17 22 21 CDR RET._&SE HANDLE to UNLOCK, and then HATCH HANDLE

to EQUALIZE PRESSURE, make sure your dogs engaged
and then R_T._&SE HANDLE to - to UNLOCK, and HATCH
HANDLE to CLOSE.

SPT Okay, RET._SE HANDLE to UNLOCK?

be at the CLOSE position; your RELEASE HANDLE to
the LOCK position.

SPT We've got it.

CDR Okay, assume your ET - EVA egress position, feet

toward the MDA.

SPT 0ks_v.

326 17 23 14 CDR All right, now I'm going to pass the - VC tree in
to you.

SPT Hold on, let us get the T025 squared away first, Jer.

326 17 23 21 CDR All right.

B26 17 23 27 SPT Bill, did you move that camera?

PLT It's hiding behind the hatch now, I guess,

SPT Oh, we got it.

PLT There it is over there.

SPT It 's okay, it 's okay.

PLT That's going to be hard to get to, though.

SPT Well, let me -

PLT Better get it out of there, before we go hard suit.

SPT Yes.

326 17 24 08 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Goldstone and

Bermuda for 5 minutes. Out.

326 17 24 14 CDR Roger, Houston. We had quite a few CONDENSATE

DELTA-P WARNING - or CAUTION lights and I have
INHIBIT the CAUTION AND WARNING on that.

SPT That's it. Back up here.

CC Okay, Jerry, and while you're at panel 207, we'd

like to make sure the PRI COOL TEMP HIGH switch
is in the ENABLE position. We believe it's cur-
 210

rently INHIBITED. Likewise, all the other primary

airlock module coolant parameters should be ENABLED;
we believe they are. Over.

326 17 24 46 CDR PRI COOL T_4P HIGH is on.

SPT How where is your tether?

PLT Okay, now, Ed, Just let me get back in my right

position, here, because I thought the tether -
here it is - that we had it up here, Jer.

SPT All right, let's put it over here. Give me the

tether and we'll be all set.

PLT Okay.

326 17 25 22 SPT Unhook the other end.

326 17 25 56 SPT Okay, how's our umbilical situation?

CDR It's not too bad.

PLT Okay, I think I'm clear. Let's see.

SPT Yes, you are.

PLT I put my - your umbilical over my head, here, like

this.

SPT Okay, you're all set. Go ahead.

326 17 26 09 CDR All right, here's the VC tree, Bill. Coming at

you handle first. Watch your feet on the DAC.

PLT Yes.

326 17 26 20 CC CDR, this is Houston. Just a reminder - try to

avoid bumping the rate gyro six-pack installation
in your movements around the MDA. We're observing
them giving us outputs that are - are pretty
good size. Over.

326 17 26 33 CDR Roger. I've been thinking about that the last
45 minutes; being pretty careful.

CC Okay, we're not trying to bug you.

_.. 211

CDR I think it must Just be the - all the action

going on in the airlock module in the MDA area.

CC Right. We've been following that on the air-to-

ground.

PLT Okay, I want to get the foot restraint in. ***

you reading, Jer?

326 17 27 00 CDR Okay, read you loud and clear. VC tree - all
right, now I'm going to release the forward hatch.

PLT Okay, and I got to get 149 in'here.

SPT I'ii push it in for you. You all set? Okay.

326 17 27 22 PLT Okay. Man, is it crowded in here.

on the edges.

326 18 00 00 SPT-EVA Got it right. Just center up that image.

PLT-EVA Okay.

326 18 00 07 CC Skylab, this is Houston; 30 seconds until LOS.

The next station contact in 23 minutes through
Carnarvon. And as you get the Sun into the center,
Bill, it should turn into the orange and red images.

326 18 00 17 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm getting it that way now, Bruce. Thank
you. Okay, center's going orange. Read the
step again, Jer. Make sure I got it right.

CDR Okay. It 'ii be orange in the center and red

on the edges.

326 18 01 i0 PLT-EVA I can get it orange. But I can make the red
entirely disappear.

SPT-EVA Just make it centered up, Bill, so it's uniform.

PLT-EVA I was going to Just - one tiny little dot.

SPT-EVA _ -... to look at.

CDR Center it up as best as you can, Bill.

CDR You happy with your centering job yet?

- B26 18 02 02 PLT-EVA Well, I am - -

CDR All right.

PLT-EVA - - but it doesn't conform to the instruction -

but I - -

326 18 02 09 CDB All right. While you're waiting, Just _ina oi

relax a minute and do something else, then go
back to it. Unfasten your remote control cable.

PLT-EVA Okay. Stand by.

CDR And set your filter - set your time at 1/1000 of

a second.
230 -

326 18 02 25 PLT-EVA *** up on that, Just a minute, Jerry.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA *** thing, Ed?

SPT-EVA Yes. I - I think you're okay, because - see, you

can see - -

PLT-EVA You can get red by going off to the side.

CDR Well, great. That means you got - it's going

to be easier to center.

326 18 02 _l PLT-EVA *** about that. You don't have the red circum-
ference.

SPT-EVA Yes, all you got is a nice orange - -

CDR Nice orange ball all the way around with no red;
I'd say you got it wired.

PLT-EVA Yes, okay.

CDE Don't worry about.

SPT-EVA Yes, and you've also got - -

CDR We got the 7 minutes now. We can get our things

going.

PLT-EVA Okay, Ed, I better get cracking - -

SPT-EVA Oh, okay.

PLT-EVA - - cable of mine.

326 18 03 00 CDR Get your remote cable undone and get your time
set to 1/1000 and then we're ready to roll.
Give her - give the canister a change to quit
oscillating after you let go of it. Man, we're
just hustling right along. We're doing great.

326 18 03 14 PLT-EVA Okay, I have the remote cable in hand.

CDR All right. Got your timer set?

PLT-EVA *** Timer.

 231

CDR Say again? Yes, I guess it's shutter speed,

really.

PLT-EVA Oh, okay.

326 18 03 44 CDR Shutter speed at 1/1000 of a second.

PLT-EVA Okay, that's right.

CDR And if you're all ready to go, we have - Let's

see, 6 minutes to go. So if you think you can
get the VS tree out - or the VC tree without
bumping that thing, let's go ahead and do that.
And I'll tell you when it's time to start taking
data.

326 18 04 07 PLT-EVA Yes, I just don't want to touch that. See, if

I can - -

SPT-EVA Just make sure you got that all set up there,
Bill.

PLT-EVA Yes, I wanted to anchor this, Ed, so that I did

not induce an oscillationto the cable itself.
That'll work right there. I can - I can reach
over and touch - and click off my exposure. Okay,
we 're in good shape.

326 18 04 41 CDR All right, go ahead and get the VS - VC tree out.

PLT-EVA Okay. This is it - -

SPT-EVA Have you got a hold of it?

326 18 04 46 PLT-EVA Got it.

SPT-EVA Okay - good hands.

CDR You're in good hands with Allstate or something

like that.

SPT-EVA That the end?

CDR You've been out almost 22 minutes.

SPT-EVA Up and then push her. Up. There you go. Now
lock it.

i
232

326 18 05 09 SPT-EVA We're there. Okay, how we doing, Jet?

CDR You' re doing great.

SPT-EVA Are you all set to click it off, Bill?

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Did you get the VC tree installed?

PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR Say again?

SPT-EVA Yes, we have the VC installed and locked.

326 18 05 22 CDR All right, we've still got 5 minutes to go. What
else can we do here?

SPT-EVA Well, let 's see.

CDR $230, fire that rascal out and install it with

a wrist tether to the screen covering the EVA
lightnearthe LSU clamps.

SPT-EVA Okay, that's back over your head, there, Bill.

326 18 05 39 CDR And, Ed, when you hand that out to him, then go
get the DO2h and be ready to hand it out.

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 18 06 08 SPT-EVA Okay, now hook that to the light; here's the
handle. Got it?

PLT-EVA Got it.

326 18 06 28 CDR 3-1/2 minutes until T025 time.

PLT-EVA Okay, now let's leave the head on - the procedure

on T025.

CDR Yes, all you're going to do. You go down and

take a shot at i/i000. Then you're going
to change it to 1/30, wait until oscillations
die off, then take the shot. Then you're going to
switch to filter A-2 and do a h-second exposure,
and then do a 1-second exposure, and then change
 233

to a filter A-3. I'll just read them off to you;

no big thing.

SPT-EVA Darn it, *** wait here.

CDR You got the D024 out?

326 18 07 12 SPT-EVA No, I got it ready to go, but I thought we'd

hold off here.

CDR No, go ahead. We still got time.

SPT-EVA Okay - -

CDR Let me worry about the time. You guys just move
right along smartly.

SPT-EVA Okay, where's it go?

CDR All right, D024 by the waist tether; you're

going to - -

SPT-EVA Got a waist tether on it.

_- CDR All right, you're going to do it to panel 321.

Switch guard is where you're going to connect
it.

326 18 07 hl SPT-EVA Okay, we've got it.

CDR All right. Now, Ed, while you're waiting, you

can get the DAC and start setting it up.

SPT-EVA Okay. The friendly DAC.

326 18 07 55 CDR Got 2 minutes to go, Bill.

PLT-EVA Roger.

CDR Doing fine. I don't think we'll take the DAC

out until we get this work done.

SPT-EVA Yes. You'll have to give me some settings on

it, too, Jer.

CDR All right. You ready, Ed?

326 18 08 16 SPT-EVA I'm ready. Go ahead.

 234

CDR All right, f/ll.

CDR Okay, Bill, is T025 all settled out? Get ready

for your data take. It's about a minute
and a half away.

SPT-EVA f/ll?

CDR 500. That's for the DAC. It says setting of

500.

326 18 08 53 SPT-EVA *** hundred.

CDR 6 feet - 6 frames per second.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR And infinity for the focus.

326 18 09 12 SPT-EVA Got some XYZ's?

CDR All right. Set them to the red marks. That

should be an X of 350; Y, 320; and Z at i0.

SPT-EVA And we got one of those fellows without the reds.

So let's - give me the X's.

326 18 09 30 CDR All right, 350. Should be getting sunset pretty

quick, Bill.

SPT-EVA Y is what?

_ CDR Y is 320.

PLT-EVA Those exposures yet? Oh, no. Okay.

SPT-EVA ... and Z?

CDR Z is I0. About I0 or 15 seconds, Bill.

326 18 i0 13 CDR Okay, Bill, we're ready to start. Take your

first exposure. It should be filter A-I at 1/100
- 1/1000.

326 18 l0 21 PLT-EVA Okay, I hit - pushed the switch open and then
to close. I assume that did it.

CDR All right. Now it's the same filter, but change
your - your speed on the shutter to 1/30.
f_. 235

326 18 i0 35 PLT-EVA I'Ii give it about 15 or 20 seconds to damp out?

CDR Yes, yes, that's what it - it says to allow at

least 10. And when you - when you've damped out
and you're ready to go, go ahead and punch it
off and tell me when you -

326 18 l0 48 SPT-EVA Okay, an observation here; it looks as though

it's pretty steady. I can -

326 18 l0 5h PLT-EVA That's complete, Jer. What's the next one?

CDR All right, now you got set your filter to the
A-2 position.

326 18 ll 02 SPT-EVA I can see it when it os -when it's oscillating

real clearly, and I think I can tell when it's
pretty well damped, too.

PLT-EVA A-2, at what speed?

326 18 ll 09 CDR Okay, this is 4 seconds. You want me to time

it? Just tell me when you give a mark, and I'll
start timing it; and then I'll give you a m_k
and you - you release it.

PLT-EVA Stand by. I'm going to let it damp a little

bit more. Doesn't - doesn't look like it now.

CDR You have - do you have to put it on time

or something like that?

PLT-EVA Yes, the T-position and I assume that when

I go to OPEN, on my - -

CDR Yes - -

PLT-EVA - - shutter here, that - -

CDR That'll do it. Now you give a mark, and I'll

give you a mark 4 seconds later and you turn it off
then.

PLT-EVA Stand by -

326 18 ll 39 PLT-EVA MARK.

CDR l, 2, 3 -
236

326 18 ll 44 CDR MARK.

PLT-EVA
CLOSED. '

CDR Okay. Now A-2 for i second. Tell me when you're

ready. I

326 18 12 00 PLT-EVA It has a 1 second on it.

CDR Okay, good.

PLT-EVA I'll Just give it a little time to damp, there.

CDR All right.

326 18 12 2h PLT-EVA Got A-2 at 4 seconds and 1 second, Jer.

CDR Okay, that's done, huh? All right. Now you

got to A-3 on the position of the filter.

PLT-EVA What speed?

CDR 1/15; 1 over 15.

326 18 12 _l PLT-EVA Okay, I'll give it time to settle.

326 18 12 54 PLT-EVA Hey, that thing is Just as steady as a rock.

Okay, here we go.

SPT-EVA I concur, Bill. I can line m_ eyeball up with

a - with a piece on the solar panel.

PLT-EVA Yes. What's next, Jer?

CDR Okay, 1 over 500. Same filter setting, Alfa

3. Verify Alfa 3.

326 18 13 20 PLT-EVA Uh-oh, The detent came - Blast!

CDR What's the matter?

PLT-EVA Oh, this knob - you know, that sets the shutter
speed?

CDR Yes?

PLT-EVA It didn't - I didn't like the looks of it

yesterday.
 237

CDR It came out?

326 18 13 36 PLT-EVA Yes _ you know - We got a great big knob that -
that screws in on the regular shutter speed set?

CDR Yes?

PLT-EVA And it's on - it's whe - freewheeling right now.

326 18 13 46 CDR Oh, crap. Well, that's the end of it. Let's put
it away.

PLT-EVA 0kay.

SPT-EVA *** get down in there and force it back on

there?

PLT-EVA Ah' *** hardware that way.

CDE There's no way you can get in there and see it

with your - -

326 18 lh 29 PLT-EVA Yes, I'm - -

SPT-EVA I'm working it. Give a second here.

SPT-EVA Can you see out the windows yet?

CDR I doubt it. Just a second; let me check. I've

been so busy watching the clock and everything
that I haven't had time to look outside.

PLT-EVA Tell you what - Take that camera off real quick
and look at it.

326 18 15 09 PLT-EVA *** that's really disgusting. That - that was a

very unpositive installation when I did it. I
took it - I put it on about three or four times,
and there's a very small lug that has to engage
on the seem that - the ring spring in there with
a notch cut out of it.

PLT-EVA Well, I'm afraid we just missed it.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Tell you what, Bill. Is there any way you can -
you can do it manually without the large knob, or
238 --

is that impossible? That was made as a conven-

ience, but can you still get to it?

PLT-EVA I don't know. Trouble is, you see, this covers

up the regular speed shutter knob.

326 18 15 57 SPT-EVA Take that speed shutter - the large one off.

CDR Don't lose that big one.

326 18 16 i_ PLT-EVA All part and parcels of the - Light's right in my

eyes.

SPT-EVA Are we out of sunrise - out of Sun?

CDR No, no. We've still got some ti_e. We've got
another 30 minutes. Hello, Wilhelm, I can see you.

PLT-EVA Now let me see - what can I do?

SPT-EVA *** knob hook on there.

PLT-EVA I'm going to take it off the adapter here so I

can get a better look at it. Can't lose it
because it's tied to that grounding strap.
Guess it's there.

326 18 17 28 SPT-EVA How is that supposed to be keyed in there?

PLT-EVA It's hard to describe, Ed. It's, at best, a

• squirrely instrument. Get this in the shade
here. See if I can -

PLT-EVA Now, the whole head has to come off. It's - It's
just no good.

326 18 18 ll CDR Okay, take it in. Let's get on with it.

SPT-EVA Tell you what. Let's leave it right where it

is for right now - -

CDR No, let's take it in now.

SPT-EVA Look, Jer, we're going to complicate what we're

doing inside here. Let's get everything else
out and then we'll put it back in. Because we're
only going to ding that camera up if we bring it
here now - -
 239

CDR Oh, all right; I see. Okay. We're not going to

waste any more time fooling with it.
r
B26 18 18 B2 PLT-EVA Yes. Think I've got my equipment right; let's go
ahead.

326 18 18 34 SPT-EVA Okay, where does the DAC go?

CDR The DAC goes as follows: On the F-6, hand -

handrail F-6 below the clothesline ; clip and lock.

SPT-EVA Not F-57

CDR No, it says F-6.

SPT-EVA Okay. What 've you got there?

326 18 19 07 PLT-EVA That's F-6.

SPT-EVA Okay, below the clothesline, clip and lock. Get

yourself a tether on it.

PLT-EVA Okay, wait a minute.

SPT-EVA Jer, we're going to have to get the lights back

on here.

B26 18 19 41 CDR Yes. They can go on now.

SPT-EVA Give you some lights.

CDR Okay, Bill, it says here that you should attach

_ the remote control cable to the side of the
canister again.

PLT-EVA No, wait just a minute; I'm having trouble with

the tether hook here.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA There, Bill. Give me your arm and I'll take

care of it.

B26 18 20 42 SPT-EVA Okay, it's tethered and locked. And I'll get
some light for you here.

CDR Okay, the procedures want us to bring that T025

back in. How much more stuff have we got there
that is in the way?
240

326 18 20 58 SPT-EVA Well, let's see. Looks clear; we've got the
clip; we got the Nikon sitting over there, and
the -

CDR Okay, see if you can get the $228; that's next,
Ed.

SPT-EVA Okay, but that, I egress with, is that correct?

CDR Let's see. Yes, indeed.

SPT-EVA All right I better get the T025 in - -

CDR Yes, bring - bring it on back in.

326 18 21 28 PLT-EVA Okay, that's in work.

CDR All right, Bill, let me read you what the pro-
cedures say on that. It says: Attach the remote
control cable to the side of the canister and
then pass the whole thing in to EV-2. And, Ed,
you're supposed to just stow it on a handrai] _ in
there, wherever you can.

326 18 21 54 CDR And then, Bill, will you - would you hand it in,
then reach for the filter case and hand that in
to him.

326 18 22 00 CDR *** the filter back off of it, Bill, and put away
in the case.

PLT-EVA No, I didn't. I'll do that right now.

CDR Okay.

CDR *** time, Bill, take your time.

CDR Houston, Skylab. How do you read?

326 18 22 42 SPT-EVA Hand that back in right now and I'll take care
of that.

PLT-EVA Got to get the tethers untangled here.

PST-EVA Yes. That's right. Don't force them.

CC Skylab, this is Houston through Carnarvon for

9-1/2 minutes. Out.
 241

SPT-EVA Hello, Bruce. We got a problem with T025. We

got - got it set up and we were going great.
Got five exposures in and when we tried to set
the time to the exposure number 6, the doggone
shutter speed knob came off in Bill's hand, so
we're having to pass it in.

326 18 23 21 CC Okay, we copy. Can you set the - the shutter

speed with the gloves on, with the knob as part
of the camera?

PLT-EVA Well, that didn't come off, Bruce. It started

freewheeling. There's a little sort of spring
clip - circular spring clip in there with a notch
in it that engages the Jaws on the top of the
regular shutter speed. And it - I noticed yester-
day when I was assembling it, I had to put it
together three times to get it to engage right.
And I - I knew what had happened as soon as I
saw it freewheel.

326 18 23 54 CC Okay. Well, how are you - are you taking the
whole long eye relief viewfinder off to get it
off? Over.

PLT-EVA No, I - I had the - I had to take the thermal

blanket off. Can't - You can't get down to the
button and everything until you take the thermal

326 18 24 15 SPT-EVA I tell you what, that sounds like a Job that ought
to be done inside here, with all those extra parts
in there, Bill.

PLT-EVA Yes, I'd say that if we - we had time I - I think

we may be kicking a dead horse here trying to fix
it.

CDR Bruce, I don't see any sense in the world in

wasting time on this experiment if we can't get
it to hold together. I think that we better Just
put it off.

CC Okay, we concur. Terminate the T025 operations

and bring the apparatus back into the airlock.
Over.

326 18 24 38 CDR Okay.

242

CDR We'll take a good look at it after the EVA is

over and see if we can't Jury-rig it so it will
stay together for the next one.

CC Roger. We copy.

326 18 24 53 PLT-EVA The special viewfinder head fits on very loosely,

Bruce. Doesn't - doesn't make a nice firm,
tight engagement. I 'd say there 's a - probably
about, oh, look *** looks *** black. And I noticed
yesterday I had trouble with it when I was ***

CC Okay, we didn't copy the amount of the play, but

go ahead and bring it on in and we'll worry about
it later.

PLT-EVA Roger.

SPT-EVA Hold on, Bruce - or Bill, hold on. Let that thing
slip down. Okay

PLT-EVA Okay.

326 18 25 59 PLT-EVA Okay, Jer, Ed's stowing the T025 now.

CDR Okay, how about the - the filter case?

PLT-EVA Got that covered - -

SPT-EVA I got that in also.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Just a minute here.

CDR When he gets that tethered then he'll take

$228 and start out.

326 18 26 23 PLT-EVA That's a beautiful sunset.

CDR Bruce, have the rate gyro settled down now?

326 18 27 15 CC CDR, this is Houston. We still see more activity

on the six-pack gyros than we do on the rate
gyros. However, they're acceptable and they've
settled down considerably from what they were
earlier. Over.
 2_3

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay, Jer, I've got it tethered.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Ready to go.

326 18 28 08 CDR Shut the airlock module and translate to the F-10
handrail.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR Tell me when you get there and I'll tell you what
to do next.

SPT-EVA Okay ....

PLT-EVA Big Ed.

326 18 28 31 CC SPT, this is Houston.

SPT-EVA *** head.

CC Roger. We're having some telemetry problems

with your oxygen outlet temperature gages. Verify
for us that you're in the normal configuration
on your PCU. Over.

326 18 28 45 SPT-EVA Okay, I'm BOTH, ABSOLUTE, EVA NORM.

CC Roger. Thank you.

CDR Sounds pretty normal to me.

SPT-EVA Careful. Pull ... Come out. You can move that
link.

326 18 29 l0 CDR This would have been a good time to take that
Nikon out. Have you got it, Ed?

SFT-EVA Well, I 'll tell you what. It 's -

PLT-EVA It's going to be hard to _e the settings, Jero

SPT-EVA We've got a - we've got a doct_ment what we put out,

also. So let's Just hold off on that.

CDR All right.

2h4

PLT-EVA Hey. Manage EV-2's ***

SPT-EVA Don't pull that out very fast there because -

Make sure if you see anything ! if it's around
a blind corner, don't pull on it. Okay?

326 18 29 47 PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT ... one even back in there.

SPT-EVA Okay, Jer.

CDR All right. It says, place the S12 - $228 parallel

to the Sun on the empty side of the clipboard.
Remove the wrist tether and verify that the
clipboard is still perpendicular to the Sun.

326 18 30 17 SPT-EVA Okay. Just a minute here.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Hey, we're having sunrise. Hey, I noticed that

your EV visor is up.

326 18 31 04 CDR And don't forget to fasten that $228 tether to

the universal mount.

SPT-EVA I'm with you there.

CDR Okay.

CDR Spend all that time clipping it on to the clip-

board, and then head for the VC and drag it off
with you. Is it dark out there?

SPT-EVA Sure is.

PLT-EVA Yes.

326 18 31 4h SPT-EVA Okay, I've got it tethered now.

CDR All right.

SPT-EVA Let's see - hold on. What I want to do is -

326 18 31 52 CC Skylab, this is Houston; 1 minute to LOS. Next

station contact in 6-1/2 minutes through Guam.
Out.
 245

SPT-EVA Okay, I got it tethered. I'll tell you what,

when we come back with the Sun, give me a reminder
and I'll go by here and make sure that the thing
really is perpendicular.

CDR Okay.

326 18 32 13 SPT-EVA Or that the thing is parallel to the line of

sight.

CDR Well, go ahead and move to the center work station.

SPT-EVA Okay. One - You know those lights which shadow

the - the thermal curtain there, you can see the
outline of the light perfectly. So you can sure ***

CDR Can sure what?

PLT-EVA Ed, how do you read?

SPT-EVA Yes, I read you Bill, loud and clear.

PLT-EVA Okay. You cut off so quick there, I thought - -

SPT-EVA Okay. What you can see is that the Sun, where
it's not hitting the thermal curtain because of
the shadowing of even the very thin layer on
the - on those lights support or those light
protectors is considerably lighter.

SPT-EVA Boy, that sure was a beautiful sight.

326 18 33 08 CDR Okay. Are you maneuvering out toward the work
station now?

SPT-EVA I am. We've got my shoe - shoes in the center

work station.

CDR Jolly good. And, Bill?

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA How much do you need?

SPT-EVA Okay. We want a LSU clamp.

CDR That 's right.

246

SPT-EVA Okay, Just give me a little bit there, Jer - or

Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Let me lean over here.

326 18 33 29 CDR It should be at about 31 feet there when you

clamp it.

PLT-EVA Okay, he's asking for about 30.

CDR All right. And when you get comfortable, Ed,

I want an _MU status check from you and Bill.
I should say from Bill and you. I'd like you -
like you to always do it in the same order, if
you would.

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 18 33 46 PLT-EVA EV-1 is 3.6. *** lights.

SPT-EVA EV-2, 6 - 3.6 and no lights.

CDR Okay. Good show. You ready to do it?

SPT-EVA Tell you what we do, let me move my wrist tether

which I've Just taken off of - - ...

CDR All right, Bill - -

SPT-EVA - - pull over my right side and I am ready.

CDR Bill, panel 321, CENTER BOOM, EXTEND, approximately

1 foot.

PLT-EVA *** approximately 1 foot.

326 18 34 16 CDR Okay. Stow S056 from the VC tree. Unstow it I

should say, and put it on the boom.

CDR Ed, when you can, you should open and - unlock
and open S056 door.
326 18 34 33 SPT-EVA That's done.

CDR S056 door is right in front of you, huh?

SPT-EVA Yes, how about that?

 247

PLT-EVA ... We've positioned it.

CDR Canister roll works.

SPT-EVA That's right.

326 18 34 53 SPT-EVA Sure is a good looking therm-I curtain that those

folks put up. Boy, they did a great Job on that.

PLT-EVA S056 installed on the boom and locked.

CDR Okay. Send her out.

PLT-EVA Here you go, Ed.

SPT-EVA Okay. I want to put my right wrist tether on it.

SPT-EVA Okay. I'll tell you when, there, Bill.

326 18 35 45 SPT-EVA MARK.

SPT-EVA Okay - -

PLT-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Okay, I got it tethered to my right wrist.

Coming off. S056, five load. And we do have the
tape off.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR That 's fine.

SPT-EVA Going in.

CDR Okay, you got the boom back, Bill?

PLT-EVA No - I'll send it back.

CDR Go ahead and retract. When you get it back, Bill,

put H-alpha 1 on it.

326 18 36 29 SPT-EVA Okay. We've got the white flag.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA I'm going to lock it in there.

PLT-EVA H-alpha l's on the way down, Jer.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA S052 c_ning by.

CDR Now, I'm reading CANISTER ROLL in here. It's in-

creasing.

SPT-EVA o** the H-alpha.

CDR Okay. You got it lined up?

SPT-EVA Stand by.

326 18 37 41 SPT-EVA Okay. We got her.

 2_9

CDR INHIBIT the ROLL, Ed.

SPT-EVA INHIBIT.

CDR Unlock and open the H-alpha 1 door.

SPT-EVA That 's done.

CDR And H-alpha i ought to be nudging you into the

back of the head about now.

SPT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Tell you what, Bill.

PLT-EVA I'm retracting it a little bit.

SPT-EVA Yes, please do that so I can lean back. I don't

want to hit it on the way back.

SPT-EVA No, you're sending it out.

326 18 38 02 SPT-EVA Retract.

SPT-EVA Bill.

PLT-EVA Yes, I got it in RETRACT.

PLT-EVA Boy, I thought I 'd screwed it up. I thought I 'd

sent it out too far.

SPT-EVA No. 0kay, now hold that.

PLT-EVA How' s that ?

SPT-EVA Just hold on; let me lean back and get it.

SPT-EVA Send it out a little bit, about 1 more foot.

326 18 38 36 PLT-EVA 1 more foot.

SPT-EVA ... The other out.

PLT ***

PLT-EVA Moving?

SPT-EVA No.

PLT-EVA Say when.

SPT-EVA That 's good.

326 18 38 56 CC Skylab, this is Houston through G1_m; 6-1/2 minutes.

Out.

CDR Roger, Houston. Ed wants to know where the safety

divers are.

CC They're in Huntsville. Over.

CDR (Laughter)

SPT-EVA Tell Don Ha-,,er he did the best Job he's ever
done in waiting me out.

SPT-EVA Okay, H-alpha is in.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA We 've got the white flag.

CDR Bill, RETRACT the BOOM all the way.

SPT-EVA We're going with the lock?

326 18 B9 24 PLT-EVA In work.

SPT-EVA This tether off.

CDR And fold the hook, Bill.

PLT-EVA Roger,

CDR Okay. Have you closed the door yet, Ed?

SPT-EVA It's in work.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Just verifying.

CDR You did engage the lock/lock on the handle, right?

 251

SPT-EVA Affirm.

CDR Good show.

326 18 39 50 SPT-EVA Okay, and I've got the white flag on the door.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA And it 's locked.

CDR Okay, go back to panel 160; ROLL, ENABLE.

SPT-EVA ENABLE.

CDR Would you believe I blew it? We didn't get the

DAC on !

326 18 40 04 SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Well, let's Just -

CDR Go ahead and turn it on.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now, the position should be - You got a

F little index in there that tells you to point it
towards what? The center work station?

CDR Okay, you got panel 60 [sic] ROLL, ENABI/_?

SPT-EVA That' s affirm.

CDR All right. CANISTER ROTATION to the RIGHT until

you get to align Sun end.

SPY-EVA ...

326 18 40 49 PLT-EVA The DAC is not working.

CDR Okay. All right, you got - you got it align

Sun end, Ed?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR AI] right.

PLT-EVA No, I take it back; it is.

CDR ROLL, INHIBIT.

326 18 41 02 SPT-EVA Okay, ROLL to INHIBIT now.

 252

CDR The S082 door is OPEN.

SPT-EVA Okay, going to open now.

CDR A11 right. You should have two lights going on - -

SPT-EVA Light is out.

CDR - - after a l0 second delay.

SPT-EVA ... A's open. .N_ open.

326 18 41 22 CDR Okay. POWER 2 to INHIBIT. They're inhibited?

SPT-EVA Affirm.

CDR Okay. Now I've got some panel 130 work to do.

SPT-EVA You know, that thermal shield that SL-3 guys put
on looks good. They did a nice Job of covering
that thing uniformly.

CC Roger. Owen's back there in the viewing room.

SPT-EVA Dick, tell him they did a great Job. Lines are
nice and taut.

326 18 42 07 CDR Okay. FII/4 revs - RESET select is going to

H-ALPHA now.

SPT-EVA You know, Bruce there sure is an awful lot of

discoloration on the side of the vehicle where the
- Sun is still hitting;that's the side of the
vehicle where the protective panel was ripped off,
the meteroid shield. It's - For some reason, it's
not uniform in X, which you'd expect. You'll see
that in m_f pictures when we - we come back. But
closer to plus X, it's red, and then it turns
green and then a little yellow and them more green
back there. Kind of tough to figure out. Must be
the venting.

326 18 42 48 PLT-EVA Okay, Jer, did you say ***

SPT-EVA How's the friendly DAC doing?

PLT-EVA It 's grinding away.

 253

SPT-EVA Good.

PLT-EVA Hey, Jer, how do you read?

CDR Loud and clear, Bill. I think you can turnthe

DAC off now.

326 18 43 25 CDR Okay, I'm doing an H-alpha check, here. You g_s
Just might as well relax out there for a second.

SPT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA There is the ground. Boy, if this isn't ever the

great outdoors. Inside, you're Just looking out
through a window; here, you're right in it.

SPT-EVA I tell you, you really know you're moving along

here.

PLT-EVA That's the Sun end, right?

SPT-EVA *** ... again, Bill.

PLT-EVA Are you readingme?

326 18 44 34 SPT-EVA You're cutting in and out.

PLT-EVA Yes, I keep cutting in and out.

CDR I'm reading you okay, Bill.

SPT-EVA You're Just going to have to start - Your first

- couple of words are going to have to be fairly -
fairly loud to key the VOX.

PLT-EVA Okay.

326 18 44 46 CC Skylab, this is Houston; 45 seconds to LOS. Next

station contact in 17 minutes through Goldstone
at 19 :02. Out.

CDR Okay, Ed, unclamp your LSU.

SPT-EVA Unclamped.

326 18 45 08 CDR And, Bill, turn on the DAC. And when you're
unclamped, Ed, then you egress the VC, trans-
late to the VT; go on over the top of the twin
poles. Up.
254

PLT-EVA Oh, my goodness.

MS What's the matter, Bill?

PLT-EVA Oh, the DAC keeps coming loose.

326 18 45 35 SPT-EVA I'm not sure you still got it there. I'd push
her in there.

PLT-EVA It's not a positive lock. I've - I've latched

it once before.

SPT.EVA Going over the top. I'll tell you that makes
sense down there in the water tank in Huntsville,
but it's kind of hard to see it here, although I
know by the geometry what we want.

CDR Okay, let me know when you're in the VT foot

restraints.

326 18 46 04 SPT-EVA Okay. That's in work. Boy, is this material

discolored; all of this white thermal paint.

PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to move this camera more - -

SPT-EVA Same of it ... dark brown.

PLT-EVA - - in.

CDR Bill, while Ed's moving out there, give me a

sense - EMU status check.

PLT-EVA Okay. I don't have any lights and I'm reading

3 ***

CDR Say it again, please.

PLT-EVA 3.65.

326 18 46 47 CDR 3.65. Hello, Ed. I see you out there.

SPT-EVA Okay. I am in the foot restraints and - -

CDR I know it; I can see you.

SPT-EVA I'm looking at 3.6, a little over, and no lights.

CDR Okay, I can see you; big as life - -

 255

SPT-EVA Boy, you know, I know what Joe Kerwin meant now
when he says, "Boy, if you've felt you were going
to fall of something, it's up here."

326 18 _7 09 CDR You're big as life and twice as ugly, Ed. Okay.

SPT-EVA Boy, I'll tell you, this is a sensation out at

this end.

CDR Bill?

PLT-EVA Yes ?

CDR Panel 321, SUN END BOOM. EXTEND approximately

1 foot, deploy the hook.

PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to have to move a tether hook here.

It's right in the way.

SPT-EVA ***rizon to the other in front of me. What a

panorama.

PLT-EVA Okay, extend a foot, you say?

CDR Extend it a foot and unlock the hook.

PLT-EVA Roger.

326 18 _8 05 CDR Then put the VS tree on it, with the shoe towards
the airlock module. It says here: Attach the VS
tree to the boom, shoe towards the airlock module,
and lock the hook.

PLT-EVA *** ...

PLT-EVA Complete. Ready to extend.

SPT-EVA Tell you what, Bill, before you extend it, would
you give me some more LSU? You got me pretty
tight here. I can't lean back.

PLT-EVA I'm sorry.

SPT-EVA I'd like to have a little loose - have it quite a

bit looser than it is now.

326 18 49 05 SPT-EVA Okay, that's good. I don't want to be dragging

it over those poles.
256

CDR Okay, Bill, when you got things squared away there,
then you EXTEND the SUN END BOOM on out.

PLT-EVA Okay. In work.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now, watch it coming over the - that

clothesline, which was used to raise the thermal
cell.

SPT-EVA Make sure we clear. Okay, you're clear of the DAC.

PLT-EVA I 'm watching it.

$PT-EVA Yes. I think you got good clearance. Okay,

leaning back for it. Say when.

PLT-EVA Further?

B26 18 50 20 SPT-EVA Keep-a-coming. Okay .... clamp, a wrist tether.

Hard to do. Let me see, I don't want to cut -

B26 18 51 19 PLT-EVA Benard cells right down there. I'm sorry, Ed, I
guess you're busy.

CDR Okay. You've been out an hour and 7 minutes

troopses [sic].

SPT-EVA ... there. Okay, I've got it in there; in the

Sun end shoe and locked.

CDR Okay, Bill, you can retract the boom.

B26 18 51 _2 PLT-EVA In work.

CDR And, also, unclamp Ed's LSU so he can transfer

to the VS.

PLT-EVA Unclamped.

CDR And as soon as he goes over the - the end of the -

the Sun end, there, you can turn off the DAC.
Tell me when it's off.

B26 18 52 01 PLT-EVA Turned it off already.

CDR Yes. Apparently, all they want to do is - see

the boom operation. And of course, we screwed
it up already and haven't - They didn't get to
see the VC boom operation. We'll do better
 257

though for the clothesline. They probably al-

ready have some boom data anyway. But that T025
kind of got us off our stride here.

326 18 52 37 SPT-EVA Hold on. Now let me see about my umbilical.

There we go. 0kay_ I'm locked in there.

CDR You're in the VS?

SPT-EVA I'm in the VS.

CDR Good show. Okay. Let's have another status check.

PLT-EVA I have no lights.

CDR Bill, you're going to have to t_]_ louder or

longer or something.

PLT-EVA Okay. EV-1, 3.65, no lights.

CDR Got you.

SPT-EVA EV-2, 3.6 and a little, and no lights.

PLT-EVA Hey, Jer?

CDR All right. Do you guys want to stop and rest for
a minute? Let me go down in the command module
and tweak up the VOX sensitivity a tad.

PLT-EVA A] I right.

_ 326 18 53 18 CDR Just - Just hang loose there; don't go anywhere.

PLT-EVA I thought we'd go outside for a few minutes.

PLT-EVA Lot of water down there.

CDR I wish I had set the slider up, darn it. I - maybe
if I get a couple of seconds here, I'll set it up
to the ascending node so we can see where we are.

SPT-EVA Quite a sensation when you're out here in these

shoes at the Sun end and you lean back.

SPT-EVA Tell you, Jet, you can't appreciate it until you

do it.

CDR Right.
258

SPT-EVA Have you ever felt as though you were out in the
open and floating all on your own?

CDR Okay. I's KsicS in here. Let's try that sensi-

tivity up a little bit. All right, Bill, now
give me a short count.

326 18 54 35 PLT-EVA Okay; l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, l, short count out.

SPT-EVA Let me ma_e a little observation here. When we're
looking at the Sun end - -

CDR Wait a minute. You're continuously keyed now,

I think.

PLT-EVA Oh, is that right?

CDR Everybody Just stop and breathe. All right now,

Bill, say something.

PLT-EVA ***kay, testing, l, 2, 3, 4.

CDR How about you, Ed? Now you give me something.

SPT-EVA Okay; l, 2, 3, 4, 5 --

326 18 55 00 CDR All right. I think we got - -

SPT-EVA 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

CDR I think we got good settings now. Go ahead, Ed.

SPT-EVA Oh, I was Just looking at the - the Sun end,

these - not the thermal shield, but the Sun end
itself. And apparently this is built on square
rib structure maybe, oh, 4 inches or so between -
between ribs, and those ribs show up darker, for
some reason, underneath this. I - You know, it's
probably got a thin material over it. And the
other - In between the squares, the cells are
lighter, but the ribs which are maybe, oh, 1/4-inch
or 1/2-inch thickness all show up darker. And
that's true even where the doors have been opened
or closed. Not quite as dark as in the other
locations.

326 18 55 45 CDR Okay. You ready to pick up the time line?

SPT-EVA Okay, go ahead.

 259

CDR Let's get with it here.

SPT-EVA Go ahead, read - read on.

CDR All righty. Open the S082A ATM door.

SPT-EVA It 's open.

CDR All right. Unlock and open the 82A container door.

SPT-EVA Okay. Boy, you really got to be careful; you can

Just push that thing around very easily; the
canister, I mean.

CDR Okay, remove S082A from the container.

SPT-EVA Standby. Boy, that really sprung open. I won-

der if that means that thing had gas in it. It
- it popped open on me.

CDR Okay.

326 18 56 24 SPT-EVA In other words, when I released it, - when I

_ released the handle- -

CDR Yes.

SPT-EVA - - I did get that - a fair amount of loading was

there; whether it's spring loading in the - in
the mechanics itself or whether it was a loading
from the - any gas in there, I'm not sure. I
couldn't tell. I'll try and wake sure on 82A -
_ or B and seewhat happens.

CDR Okay. Well, you're - you're on tape, so they've

heard it now, and they can tell us whether or not
it is supposed to be springs or gas. Okay. Now
it says install that rascal partially, and then
extend the handle and push it fully into the
receiver and look for the white flag.

326 18 57 07 SPT-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA You did say I have to lift the handle up first

on the inside?

CDR That's right. You install partially and raise

the handle.
26o

SPT-EVA Handles I have to partially raise. Handle - on

the camera, there's also the handle inside, which
is the locking handle in the careers, or in the
experiment itself.

CDR Yes. That's right. It says open S082 ATM door

and rotate the handle to unlock. I thought you
had done that when you said you had - -

SPT-EVA No.

CDR - - opened the door.

SPT-EVA Okay, go ahead.

CDR All right. Now you got it in and white flag and
the whole bit?

SPT-EVA That's right; white flag and the lock handle is

do_.

326 18 57 53 CDR All right. Says verify you got a white flag.

SPT-EVA
Verified.

CDR Close and lock the ATM door.

SPT-EVA Okay. It's closed and locked.

CDR Okay, open the B door.

326 18 58 09 SFT-EVA Okay, that's in work. Let's see, B door, what

have you got for me?

CDR This is the one that's tight, huh?

SPT-EVA No, it opened up fine.

CDR Great.

SPT-EVA I didn't even have to put my hand around the - up

at other end. I did it all with the handles.

CDR Very good.

SPT-EVA I'd say it was a relatively - It was snug, but it

was not hard.

CDR Okay. Reach in and rotate the handle to unlock.

 26].

SPT-EVA That 's the position it 's in now.

CDR All right.

SPT-EVA Go ahead.

CDR All right. Unlock and open the B canister.

SI_T-EVA Okay. Okay, I've got the handle now, 90 degrees.

Okay. That one - that one did not spring open on
me. It sprung open m_ybe, oh, a quarter to a half
an inch or so. But nothing like the A.

326 18 59 00 CDR Okay, Ed. Must have had gas in it.

SPT-EVA I'm not sure how they - I know it's either dry
nitrogen or vacuum. I thought it was vacuum.

SPT-EVA Okay, let me get a tether on this beauty.

CDR Now, this is when you got your double - double

handle folding Jobber there.

SPT-EVA Correct. And they did a good Job. They've got a

_ nice tether attach point that allows you to slide "
up.

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 18 59 40 CDR All right. Shove it in, and when you've got it all
the way into the receiver, the white flag should
come up partially.

$PT-EVA 0kay. ...

CDR All right. Then you - -

SPT-EVA Wait a minute, Jer.

SPT-EVA Okay, Now I'm Just going to deploy the - the

second one. Okay, wrist tether's off.

CDR Okay, your locking handle is a - You move it to

the right.

326 19 01 26 SPT-EVA That's affirm. I've got it.

CDR You got a c_ - a full white flag?

 262 ._

SPT-EVA I got a full white flag and - -

CDR Okay. Close and lock the door.

SPT-EVA Verified; it's snug. Yes, that's good. The - the

handle is - that I used to insert it is snug up
against the locking mechanism.

CDR 0kay.

326 19 01 48 SPT-EVA We're good.

CDR Close and lock the door and then close and lock
your container doors.

SPT-EVA 0kay, in work.

326 19 01 59 SPT Okay, Houston. I had no problem opening the 82B

door; it was only a little bit snug.

326 19 02 04 CC Okay, good to hear. And we're with you through

Goldstone, Corpus Christi, Merritt Island, and
Bermuda here.

326 19 02 ll SPT-EVA Roger, Bruce. And one thing I did have when I
opened the 82A container door, it popped open like
it was either spring loaded mechanically or it had
some gas in it. I'm not sure which the situation
WaS •

B26 19 02 25 CC Okay. We copy.

326 19 02 27 SPT-EVA The B door sprung only a quarter or so - a quarter

- of an inch, which you would expect from Just a
small amount of loading. But the other one seemed
to have quite a bit of loading on it, either
mechanical or gas.

CDR Okay. Okay, reposition and clear the aperture

doors, and advise me when I can start with the
checks.

SPT-EVA Go ahead, Jer. Start with the checks.

326 19 02 57 CDR Okay, I'm going to reset the film counters right
now. XUV SPECT is reset. We're looking at
201 frames. All right, the POWER DOOR switch
is coming OFF.
 263

SPT-EVA Good, there's a lot of clouds down here.

PLT-EVA Yes, there's a lot of land now too.

326 19 03 2h SPT-EVA Okay, 82A door is going closed.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA ... coast it-iq?

CC Hey, you're over the coast of WashinEton state, up

near Canada there, Bill.

PLT-EVA We Just had a good view of the Canadian Rock _#

CDR Is it closed yet, Ed?

326 19 03 h3 SPT-EVA 82/ is closed; affirm.

CDR Okay, I don't have a barber pole; it's gray. All

right, MAIN POWER is coming ON. Now it's gray.

SPT-EVA Yes, you got to get MAIN POWER in order to get

the indication.

CDR Right.

SPT-EVA 0therw_.se, you get the center position on that flag.

326 19 03 58 CDR All right, now the POWER/D00R switch is going ON

again. And I got a white flag.

SPT-EVA Got the door now.

CDR I don't have a READY/0PERATE light; that's probably

because the integral lights are - are off. No.

SPT-EVA There are four indicator switches up there in

the left-hand corner called DISPLAYS, Jer; it'll
have to be to BUS 2.

326 19 Oh 48 CDR Yes, let's see. Two of them are not; I'll go ahead
and flip them on. No, that doesn't get it either.

SPT-EVA Hit lamp TEST, Just to make sure.

326 19 05 03 CDR Okay. No, nothing.

264

326 19 05 07 SPT-EVA Oh, you don't get it on lamp TEST, huh?

CDR No.

SPT-EVA Okay, let's see - take a look at STATUS LIGHTING

BACKUP circuit breaker number 1. Is that in?
Don't push it in yet, you may want to - -

CDR No, it it's not in.

SPT-EVA Okay, check with ground.

326 19 05 25 CC We're here, Jerry. What do you need?

SPT-EVA Well.

CDR Okay, we're trying to do an XUV SPECT check here,

and it calls for a READY light - READY OPERATE
light on XUV SPECT, and I don't think we got it
powered up.

SPT-EVA Would you verify, Bruce, that you need a STATUS

LIGHTING BUS - STATUS BACKUP LIGHTING BUS 1,
circuit breaker in.

CDR We show the instrument powered up satisfactorily.

We're checking on the displays.

326 19 06 05 SPT-EVA Where are we right now, Bruce?

CDR He said you Just went over - -

CC You're about over the northern border of Montana.

SPT-EVA Beautiful countryside. You can see the snow

patterns.

PLT-EVA Yes, it must be the Missour *_*

326 19 07 05 CC CDE, Houston. We have telemetry indication you've

lost flow in the SUS COOLANT i. Over. We've got
about 30 seconds to LOS. We'll be back with you
in a minute and a half through Corpus Christi.
Over.

CDR Okay. That's good news. I still feel cool water_

can you guys?

SPT-EVA Yes. Let me go MAX and Just see. Usually you -

you can usuallytellthen. _-_
 265

326 19 07 B3 SI_-EVA Yes, I can sure feel it.

CDR Yes. Well, I don't want to go any further with this

ATM check unless we got this READY light. I do
believe you got to have those circuit breakers - that
circuit breaker in.

326 19 07 50 SPT-EVA Let's see, up under DISPLAYS you got those four
switches to BUS 2?

CDR Yes -

326 19 07 58 SPT-EVA Not BUS l, but BUS 2.

CDR Two of them are not, but I switched them down and
checked and that didn't help.

SPT-EVA Okay, which two were not? EVENT TIMER and -

CDR EVENT TIMER and POWER SYSTEM.

SPT-EVA Okay, you don't need those.

326 19 08 12 CDR But DAS ORBIT PHASE and ACS CEN - CONTROL are -

SPT-EVA That won't help you; that's right.

CDR Yes, they won't help you either.

SPT-EVA Are all your other circuit breakers in and all your
switches up - -

- CDR Yes.

SPT-EVA - - on that lower left-hand panel except for BACKUP?

CDR They sure are.

SPT-EVA STATUS BACKUP?

326 19 08 2B CDR That's right.

PLT-EVA Except circuit breakers.

326 19 08 30 SPT-EVA What are you showing for a position of the door now?

CDR The door is open.

266

SPT-EVA Okay, that's correct.

326 19 08 39 CC CDR, this is Houston.

CDR Go ahead, Houston.

326 19 08 hh CC On panel 202, we would like for you to check circuit

breaker SUIT UMBILICAL SYSTEM l, LCG PUMP, PRIMARY.
Over.

SPT-EVA Okay, Bruce, SPT. I'm getting good flow out here.
I Just went to MAX to verify it, and I'm getting
good flow.

PLT-EVA EV-1 - -

CDR Those breakers are all up and in good shape and

we still feel good coolant.

326 19 09 09 CC Okay, Jer. We could Just hear you in the background.

Understand you're saying that you believe you have
good flow on board.

326 19 09 ll CDR So far, it feels okay. We haven't felt any change -

in it. And the SUS 1 - Yes, all of the SUS 1 and
SUS 2 circuit breakers are CLOSEd.

CC Okay, tbs_k you. It's probably a transducer

problem.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Ed, look down. We're right over Lake Michigan.

CDR I'd like to check and see if I can close the

STATUS LIGHTING BACKUP circuit breaker, the five
volt breakers, so we can get some ready lights and
get on with this evaluation.

SPT-EVA Number l, I believe, is all you need, Jer.

326 19 l0 23 CC CDR, Houston. On the left-hand side of the C&D

panel, would you check the ALERT/STATUS LIGHTING
switch and make sure it's in the VARIABLE position?
Over.

326 19 l0 3h CDR Okay, it is now.

CC That solve your problem?

 267

CDR Sure did.

326 19 l0 43 CDR Okay. READY light is on; MODE switch to TIME;

START/STOP to START and then STOP.

326 19 l0 57 CDR We got a decrement in the - in the goodie. We got

a - READY light's good; POWER/DOORS, our talkback
is white. We're in good shape. Let's cheek the
XUV SLIT now.

SPT-EVA Looks like to me we're coming up on a good front.

See a good line of thunderbumpers.

PLT-EVA Yes. Right - right across Cape Hatteras.

CDR 0kay.

326 19 ll 35 CDR Be through here in Just a minute, you guys.

SPT-EVA You know we been working - -

PLT We 're - we' re rubbernecking.

_ SPT-EVA That's right. We've been working so hard inside

that - inside the spacecraft, we never really had
time to look out and see all this.

326 19 12 01 CDR Okay, the 82B door should be open now, Ed, and I
got a READY light.

SPT-EVA I guess B door is open and A door's open.

326 19 12 08 CDR Okay. I'm going to TIME. Want to pick off one
- frame. Looks good; we got a READY light.

326 19 12 28 CDR PO_/DOOR switch is OFF.

B26 19 1B l0 SPT-EVA 82A door closing now.

CDE Okay.

SPT-EVA That thermal curtain now, which SL-B put up, is

also turning brown ; all except for a few folds
where it doesn't receive sunlight.

CC Roger, Ed. We're copying you, and we're with

you here for about 7 minutes through Merritt
Island.
268 ....

SPT -EVA Roger.

SPT-EVA Oh, boy, there's the whole state of Florida.

I'll tell you, in this position is kind of hard
to see. There it is.

SPT-EVA We can see all the way down the eastern seaboard.

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Looks like they're having a relatively good day

up there in the northeast. Close to the coast-
line - clear.

326 19 15 06 CDR Okay, Ed, can you see 82A, 82B, and the XUV MON
doors are all closed?

326 19 15 13 SPT-EVA That's verified; all three are closed.

CDR Okay. Now I'm going to roll the canister, which

will allow you access to the H-alpha 2 aperture.

SPT-EVA I tell you what, it's sitting right in front of

me. What roll do they recommend? --

CDR Well, they recommend 4200 and right now we are

looking at 6990 - 91.

SPT-EVA Well, maybe - I'll tell you what; heck, you know,
it's right between the handrails which we use to
hold on here. It 's right - you know, it 's tethered
right in front of me. Let me take the - why don't
you Just read the procedure on, and if I have - -

CDR All right.

SPT-EVA - - trouble, well, we'll roll it.

CDR Okay. Retract the manual aperture release pin

from H-alpha 2 door by turning counterclockwise
until free, and then pull.

326 19 15 57 SPT-EVA Counterclockwise; in work. Okay, and the little

safety wire binds up on it a little bit.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Manually move the failed door clear of the aper-

ture, and then lift the latch to hold the door
open.
 269

CDR Okay, been out an hour and a half, you guys.

326 19 16 51 PLT-EVA Reading 3.65 and no light.

SPT-EVA Stand by on mine.

CDR Okay.

326 19 16 56 SPT-EVA Okay. That latch is lifted.

CDR Okay. All right, Ed, stand clear, I'm going to -

I'm going to roll the canister.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute, wait a minute. Hold the phone.

SPT-EVA Okay, go ahead.

CDR Okay, I don't have to move very far.

SPT-EVA Boy, that's a real sight. I'm looking into the

H-alpha filter, which is reflecting my _mage off
of the image off my visor of the whole ATM.

..... CDR Canister'srolling,Ed.

CC Sounds beautiful.

B26 19 17 44 SPT-EVA *** a camera for this one - it's sort of overlap-
ing - I see three overlapping four lapping images
because of the curvature of my visor. You didn't
go very far, did you, Jer?

CDR No, I didn't have to go far at all.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR I'm still twitching it.

SPT-EVA That H-alpha filter, when I move off to the side,

I can see Just a little bit of dust on it. You
know, a little bit of reflection of small particles
on the surface of it. But I would say it's clean.
But I can see that small dust reflection. It looks
as though there's several different sizes of par-
ticles too. Some relatively large which I can see
and then a relatively uniform smattering of sm_]ler
ones.

326 19 18 42 CDR Okay, Bill, turn on the DAC. And, Ed, head for the
_ VT footrestraints.
270

SPT-EVA Okay. In work.

SPT-EVA Bruce, if any of the guys in the backroom want

any descriptions out here, I'll be glad to give it
to them.

CC Okay. I'm sure they're all ears back there.

SPT-EVA Let them ask the questions.

CC You seem to be answering them all so far.

SPT-EVA N** easy when you invent them.

B26 19 19 2B SPT-EVA Okay. I'm in the VTs.

CDR Okay. Give me a status check.

PLT-EVA Okay. EV-I, no lights and 3.65.

SPT-EVA *** .65, no lights for EV-2.

CDR Okay. Bill, EXTEND the SUN END BOOM, and Ed, get
the VS tree ready to put on it.

SPT-EVA Okay. Let me get a - done.

CDR When the boom gets there, Ed, you want to attach
the VS tree such that the shoe is toward the AM.

SPT-EVA ... - -

326 19 20 07 CC Skylab, Houston; 1 minute to LOS Bermuda. Next

station contact in i0 minutes through Ascension at
19:30. And Just for your information, we're back
within a couple percent of nominal on Y-axis
momentum and only about BO percent off in X.

PLT-EVA Okay, it's right under your left elbow there, Ed.

SPT-EVA Just a minute. Hold it - hold it up a little.

CDR How's -how's your coolant going, guys?

SPT-EVA Mine's beginning to warm up.

PLT-EVA Mine's okay. It's h-i2.

SPT-EVA Hold on, Just a minute here.

 271

326 19 20 53 PLT-EVA Okay, I'Ii get that back out of your way, Ed.

SPT-EVA No, you're okay. Just leave it where it is.

Leave it where it is.

PLT-EVA *** a little bit.

SPT-EVA Okay, now. Bring it toward me. Okay, that's good.

Now, keep that shoe toward the AM.

CDR Right.

SPT-EVA You mean toward my face. Is that affirm? Is that

the way you would -

326 19 21 52 PLT-EVA The DAC is really shaking its little heart out.
I didn't realize it vibrated that much.

SPT-EVA DAC - or shoe toward the A -

PLT-EVA That's got to be right, Ed. Don't - don't worry,

I mean, I can - I can take it here.

f_ CDR Yes. I don't think it's really too important.

SPT-EVA Okay. No, I think I got it right.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Go ahead.

PLT-EVA Ready.

CDR Pull it in, Ed --

SPT-EVA Let 's go.

326 19 22 20 CDR - - verify and lock.

SPT-EVA Go ahead.

PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to pull it in most of the way and

then stop and get the DAC out of the way. Because
I got the DAC here so I can get good shots of it -
Okay, now I'll - Watch your umbilical here. Yes,
I'll watch it. It's going to clear.

CDR Okay, Bill, when you get that in, you want to put
that tree away in the receptacle and then put F -
S149
on.
 272

PLT-EVA Okay.

326 19 23 05 PLT-EVA I can see where S149 has fit before.

SPT-EVA Picture of the 149 going out.

SPT-EVA Okay, tell you what. Before it gets too much

further, why don't you pull my umbilical around
to the other side ... ?

SPT-EVA There you go. That 's good.

326 19 24 h4 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm getting shots of this, too.

CDR Okay, they don't have us turning off the DAC - -

PLT-EVA I have to keep moving it - -

CDR - - for a long time now.

SI_f-EVA I have to keep moving it out of the way, Jer,

because it 's - it 's a good location here, but it 's
right in the way of the transfer.

326 19 25 05 CDR Okay, you got a lot of DAC to go though, so don't -

don't sweat it. You got - -

SPY-EVA I got - No, keep it coming. Keep it coming.

PLT-EVA Okay. I wasn't sure you saw it yet.

SPT-EVA Yes, I got it.

- PLT-EVA Say when.

SPT-EVA When. Okay. Think - think how that works.

CDR Okay, you want to clamp it on the solar shield

there, Ed.

SPY-EVA Okay, retract, Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay, retract.

326 19 25 4h CDR And you want to fold the hook when you get it
back, Bill. Retract fully and fold.

PLT-EVA Roger.
 27B

SI_-_A Okay, check and deploy, enabled. It's all the wsT,
clockwise.

CDR 7 seconds per rev, Ed.

SPT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Must come out of the shoes to do this one.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'm going to have to open this thing up a

little bit before I can get it on.

326 19 26 B2 FLT-EVA That's it. The hook's folded.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'm putting it right in the exact position

it was previously.

CDR Okay, good.

SPT-EVA Which is very easy to see.

SPT-EVA Tighten it down here. Okay, that's ... right

_-- tight. MY tetheroff.

SPT-EVA I'm going to have to come out of this one foot

restraint here. Okay, read on, sir.

CDR Okay, it says, rotate the crank slowly counterclock-

wise to open the arms, 7 seconds per rev.

SPY-EVA 0kay.

SPT-EVA You know, that's not such a bad thing now that -
now that I'm actually out here doing it because
you can feel Just a little bit of resistance,
which is all the - you're working against all of
that mechanical advantage they built into this
thing. You got -

326 19 28 42 SPT-EVA I think most of these first few revs here - or

most of the revs are involved in iJnlocking this.

326 19 29 16 SPY-EVA Got a fair amount of inertia to it. Get it going

a little bit fast, that thing will slow down to
where it will hold that speed for you for the ***
 CDR Okay, Ed, when you get finished, there's a re-
straint there that you want to fasten to the
handle.

SPT-EVA Roger. I understand.

396 19 30 09 PLT-EVA It looks like something's starting to happen.

SPT-EVA Yes. Most of that first few revs there -

PLT-EVA Dang it.

SPT-EVA You got a lot of mechanical advantage in the lock.

326 19 30 23 CDR How's your coolant feel, gang?

SPT-EVA Mine's okay.

PLT-EVA EV-I 's okay.

CDR Good show. Good.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Okay, Houston. We're just getting the S149 panels

deployed.

326 19 30 47 CC Okay, very good. We're talking to you through

Ascension. We've got about 4-1/2 minutes to LOS.

CDR Roger. And our coolant flow is - all pretty good,

too.

CC Okay, we've about concluded that it's a turbine-

type flow transducer which is similar to the ones
in the TCV A and B lines that we've had trouble
with before.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Let me stop here and get my wrist tether pinned

down here so I don't happen to hit anything with it.

326 19 31 25 PLT-EVA Sure has a composite of the many different sam-

ples. Look at them all.

CC CDR, this is Houston. Over.

CDR Go ahead, Houston.

 275

CC Roger. We've been tracking your progress through

the EVA here, and it seems to us to be quite a ways
ahead of the time line. And we think everything's
going along beautifUlly. Consequently, we see no
reason for you not to go ahead with S19B operations
when you come to it, if you concur. And we've got
a half an hour LOS coming up here before Carnarvon.
So we're going to go ahead and give you a GO for
19B at the present time. Over.

CDR Okay, Bruce. Thank you.

$PT-EVA Those are the words that we wanted to hear, Bruce.

Thank you.

PLT-EVA Thank you ....

CC You' re welcome, welcome, welcome.

CDR D-day.

326 19 32 16 PLT-EVA Get to work on the shady side for a while.

CC Incidentally, the wives called in earlier this

morningand wanted me to pass up Thanksgiving
greetings to you all. I told them I'd work it in
at a convenient place, so I guess this is it.

PLT-EVA Very good. Pass it back to them.

SPT-EVA Thank you, Bruce. Sorry to miss Thanksgiving with

the folks, but we'll make up for it Christmas.

- CC (Laughter)

CDR Tell them to have a little oyster gravy for us, or

oyster dressing for us.

CC Will do, Jer.

326 19 32 43 SPT-EVA I tell you one thing I'm thankful for is we've
got a bunch of people in this country who are
enthused enough about this - got enough people
going to put it all together and make it work.
It's a good thing. I think we all ought to be
proud of it.

CC Yes, indeed. You said a mouthful there, Ed.

 276

326 19 33 02 SPT-EVA Okay, 149 is deployed.

CDR Okay, Ed - -

SPT-EVA Hold on. Let me put the locks.

CDR Right. Fasten your restraints.

SPT-EVA Okay. That's fastened.

CDR Okay. Egress the VT foot restraints and proceed

to FAS area. Bill, you want to manage his LSU as
he's coming back.

PLT-EVA Stand by. Let me get up to a position where I can

get my left foot out.

SPT-EVA Okay. Is the friendly DAC grinding?

PLT-EVA It is. And watch your head. You're on one of the

149 panels. That's it.

SPT-EVA Yes, I know.

PLT-EVA Got to move down. If I start cinching you up too

tight -

B26 19 34 12 CC Skylab, this is Houston; 1 minute to LOS. Next

station contact at 26 minutes through Carnarvon
at 20:00 even. And we'll be dumping the data/voice
tape recorder there. Out.

_ PLT-EVA Okay, Jer.

CDR Say again, Bill?

PLT-EVA What do we have coming up next?

CDR Coming up is D024.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes.

PLT-EVA Ah, yes. 01d D024.

326 19 34 51 CDR It says here, when you get there, you're going
to remove two pieces of tape from the D024 con-
tainer holding the twinpole sail samples.

SPT-EVA Okay, how's my umbilical look?

_ 277

PLT-EVA It looks okay. Do you want more slack?

SPT-EVA No, I feel okay.

PLT-EVA That D - that's not D024 down there, is it?

SPT-EVA Stand by - stand by - -

CDR Should be down at Bill's feet.

SPT-EVA Yes. Stand by.

PLT-EVA Oh, Ed's Just looking down there at something; I

see.

PLT-EVA Turn around and wave at the folks, Ed.

SPT-EVA Oh, I was looking down to see where my umbilical

is.

PLT-EVA Oh, okay.

SPT-EVA Boy, that's a nuisance.

f_

PLT-EVA Okay, we'll plug on - -

SPT-EVA ... That thing is completely - completely out of

my field of view.

326 19 36 12 PLT-EVA Oh, okay. It's pretty interest *** you know, on
that 228 vent *** floated out. It must be out-
gassing inside.

CDR I didn't hear what you said, Bill.

PLT-EVA The foil on the 228.

CDR Yes?

PLT-EVA It's already puffed up. One side that I can see
is inflated. Appears to be inflated.

CDR Hell_, Big Ed.

SPT-EVA *** Jer, now hold on; let me take a look at our
228. Yes, you're right. That is inflated. What
it - what it 's outgassing from. There 's one thing
I also wanted to do while I was here. And that's
fix this thing so that it is perfectly normal to
_ the Sun or *** parallelto the rays.
 278

PLT-EVA Okay, watch the DAC.

SPT-EVA I think I'm going to have to go down there and

make an adjustment in the - There, that's perfect.
You can actually see now, the shadowing there.
Hello, J. Carr.

326 19 37 21 CDR Hello, dere.

SPT-EVA Actually have - in the shadowing there - the bolts

on the 228.

PLT-EVA *** gassing.

SPT-EVA Okay, I've got that thing perfectly normal for the -
perfectly parallel to the Sun's rays.

CDR Good show.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now -

CDR D024.

SPT-EVA Let me get organized

here.

CDR Go down and get yourself in position. Assume the

po-si-ti-6n, monsieur.

SPT-EVA Okay, now there's a cuff tether on that thing,

is there not? Go put that on my D-ring, please.

326 19 38 06 PLT-EVA *** off, is it? Not all the way. But I know
- you can - I know from experiencethatyou can't
open that.

SPT-EVA Watch my feet.

PLT-EVA I'll watch them. Just press on. I'll -

SPT-EVA Okay, Jer. Go ahead and read.

CDR Okay, there's a couple of pieces of tape on that

container that you're supposed to take off.

SPT-EVA Okay. Where's the - where's that all being put?

CDR It doesn't say where to put them, you know that?

It Just says, Just remove the tape.
 279

SPT-EVA Well, no. That's all right. I can remove the

tape, but where do I put the other pieces, though?
There's a couple of pieces of gray tape they got
here holding the whole thing on.

CDR Yes, it says here - Let me read it to you.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

326 19 39 01 CDR It says: Remove two pieces of tape from D02_ con-
tainer holding twinpole sail samples. And that's
it. It says: Samples will be held to the D02_ lid
with tape.

SPT-EVA Yes, hold on.

CDR In parentheses.

SPT-EVA I think I've got it. Just let me - let me work

it here. I tell you what, Bill, if you could hold
my feet, I would not have to worry about steadily
positioning myself and I could - -

PLT-EVA Let me turn the DAC off.

SPT-EVA Okay, get the DAC off.

PLT-EVA Fold it out of the way so I don't worry about it.

326 19 39 33 SPT-EVA Okay, now if you'll Just hold on to my feet.

PLT-EVA 0kay.

SPT-EVA Just a second now. Hold on Just a little hit -

I won't be putting any forces on it, so it shouldn't
be - No, wait a minute. No, you don't have to
come out ; get back in the shoes.

PLT-EVA Well, I got one shoe in.

SPT-EVA Oh, okay. 0kay.

CDR All right now, Ed. I'll read you the procedure
here. It says: Pull the twinpole sail samples,
two of the, from the clear plastic and install them
on the A side of D024 panel; disk panel, toward the
Sun.
 280

326 19 40 02 SPT-EVA Well, with great skill and cunning, they left that
gray tape on this - on this thing.

SPT-EVA Okay, now put me hack down over there.

SPT-EVA A side, towards the Sun?

CDR Right.

326 19 40 44 SPT-EVA Now that's not going to be normal to the Sun. Let's
see, we're going to make all our installations on
the beam. Would you verify that?

CDR Yes, that 's right.

SPT-EVA *** path to the world. One of them in.

SPT-EVA This is like handling flypaper.

CDR (Laughter)

SPT-EVA Okay. Now let me torque myself up this way, Bill,

because I can't move my hands any more. Feet up
towards the top. Let go a little bit.

PLT-EVA Let me get back in my restraint.

326 19 _l 56 SPT-EVA Okay. They're on there. It's not - I Just got a

slight overlap on the two of them, m_be about
one-eighth of an inch leading up to zero. I'd say
that maybe 1-percent overlap or so at the most
between the two Of them. Now let me take my pin
here, which I had to pull out. Let's try to get
- thatout of the way.

CDR All right.

SPT-EVA Now what am I supposed to do with the extra pieces

that I've got here?

CDR Well, it doesn't say. Now that -that's the extra

pieces of gray tape, right?

SPT-EVA Gray tape and -

326 19 _2 43 SPT-EVA Gray tape and the pieces of plastic which have come
off to expose the sticky surface.
 281
f_

CDR They very adroitly avoided that question. I'd

suggest - if you can, hand them to Bill and may-
be he can hang onto them until one of you could
get to a pocket - tuck them in a pocket.

SPT-EVA Tell you what, toss them back in the airlock,

if you can, Bill. Okay?

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Now, let me go back out here and try to get this -
That's one I don't need out of the way. Okay.
I'm - I'm good. Now D024. I tell you what, Bill.
No, go ahead and do what you're going to do.

PLT-EVA I know what I'll do. I'll put them on the VS.
That'll get rid of them.

SPT-EVA Okay, now there's also a little piece of tape here.

PLT-EVA Now Just wait a minute.

SPT-EVA Take it off.

PLT-EVA Where ?

SPT-EVA See right there? There's a tab there. There you

go. Okay, Jer, read on for D024 ops.

326 19 43 56 CDR Okay. It says: In - Insert container into panel B

and remove tether, install pip pin.

SPT-EVA Okay, in work.

SPT-EVA It's all little finger exercises.

CDR Yes. Bill gets to do it on 193.

CDR You guys realize this is the first time we've been
ahead of the ha - time line since we've got up
here?

SPT-EVA I'll tell you one reason is we're doing something

we were trained to do.

326 19 45 06 CDR (Laughter) I'll tell you, all that stowage Mickey
Mouse was really something.
282

PLT-EVA I've run into more things I've never seen before.

PLT-EVA Sure disgusting about that - I hate to see something

like that not work out, though. It's an interface
problem.

326 19 46 00 PLT_EVA I might as well get a few shots of you slaving

away there on the D02_ **_

SPT-EVA Bill, you're beginning to cut in and out again.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA I'll tell you, putting that pip pin in ain't no

easy Job. There we go. Got it'

CDR Okay. Now. Lift latch handles, two, on the con-

tainer, rotate counterclockwise, and lift the
cover.

326 19 46 27 SPT-EVA Okay. Let me - What I think I'm going to do now

is tether myself to this thing. I was noticing
there ought to be some - that's really good - a
good handrail up here to put my feet around. --
Okay. And let me tether this thing.

PLT-EVA What are the settings on the DAC again, Jer? I

think they may have changed.

CDR You mean the -

PLT-EVA Oh, f/ll. Oh-oh.

326 19 46 56 SPT-EVA Yes, you didn't get a chance to check them, did
you, Bill?

CDR f/ll and 500, and 6 frames per second.

PLT-EVA f-stop changed on us.

SPT-EVA Okay. They're open. Go ahead.

326 19 h7 17 CDR Okay. Place wrist tether on strip panel handle -

large hole - and remove from the containers.

SPT-EVA Okay. That 's in work.

CDR Bill, that's f/ll, 500.

/_ 283

PLT-EVA Do they give you a - a focus distance?

CDR Infinity.

PLT-EVA Infinity.

326 19 47 40 CDR If you're going to work close here, you can change
it.

PLT-EVA I think with the wide-angle lens like - that's the

reason I didn't.

SPT-EVA Okay, Jer, I'm extracting it, and I've got the
wrist tether on and locked and I'm extracting.

CDR All right.

SPT-EVA Where do I put it?

326 19 47 57 CDR All righty. It say [sic] here: Snap the strip
panel to the B side nearest the container, handle
toward the FAS work station, and remove wrist
tether.

PLT-EVA Okay, and I know they don't want my little

fingerprints -

CDR We're coming up on sunset.

326 19 48 50 SPT-EVA *** the same old problem - stablizing your feet -
stabilizing your body while you're trying to do a
two-handed task - in restraints.

SPT-EVA Tell you what, Bill, can you hold - lean forward
and stabilize my feet again?

PLT-EVA Okay. I'll turn the DAC off here. Just a sec-
ond.

SPT-EVA Down.

326 19 49 24 SPT-EVA Okay, I'm drifting away from that now. There you
go.

SPT-EVA I need to get up further on it.

PLT-EVA Higher?
 284

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Okay °

326 19 50 03 SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Now the foot restraints.

SPT-EVA What I'm going to do, I'm going to eventually put

a pip pin in this here, am I not, Jer?

CDR Let 's see here.

SPT-EVA How' s this?

326 19 50 13 CDR Yes, that's right.

SPT-EVA Right. Okay, what I'm going to do is take the

pip pin and put it through *** first.

PLT-EVA Is this all right, Ed?

SPT-EVA Yes, that 's good.

326 19 50 38 CDR Got 2 hours now, guys, 2 hours and 5 minutes.

SPT-EVA Okay, now let me bend down here a little bit so I

can see what -

PLT-EVA I'm having to keep my eyes closed because I'm facing

the Sun. Tell me which way you want me to move.

_ 326 19 50 52 SPT-EVA Okay. Now. Now I'm in business, I think. *** I

did was putting the pip pin in first. There we go!

CDR Got it in?

SPT-EVA Yes. I thought that might work, and it did. Okay,

I got it in there.

326 19 51 07 CDR All right. Now it says put your tether on the disk
panel and remove it from the container.

SPT-EVA Okay, this is the same exercise all over again.

CDR Right.
 285

SF2-_A *** you'll remnd me before I leave here, I want to

straighten these extra pip pins out for the other
side so they're not shading that panel.

B26 19 51 29 SPT-EVA *** up at this angle, Bill?

PLT-EVA Say again.

SPT-EVA l'm okay. Let me use mine.

PLT-EVA That Sun really heats up the - the tips of -

SPT-EVA Yes, I can feel things all the ray through to the
glove as I 're been handling them.

326 19 52 i0 SPT-EVA Okay. *** your work. Okay, Jer, l'm pulling out
the disk panels now.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA *** Go now, Ed.

SPT-EVA Can you hold my feet so l'm stable?

326 19 52 40 PLT-EVA Well, I can hold one foot - -

SPT-EVA Yes, I will not be putting any forces on this.

PLT-EVA Whoops' I Just - snapped free. Give me a second

to restabilize myself.

326 19 53 18 SPT-EVA Okay. Now, Bill, I want to move down, eye level
with the panel here.

PLT-EVA *** reference to your body.

SPT-EVA Can you hold me now?

PLT-EVA I thought I was.

SP_-EVA *** time line for this one.

326 19 54 44 PLT-EVA How are you reading me on VOX now, Jerry?

CDR Oh, you're still breaking up a bit.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPY-EVA Can't say I didn't predict it.

_ PLT-EVA *** to push you out a little farther?

 286

SPT-EVA No, no.

SPT-EVA Got to align these film -

326 19 55 44 CDR Sure does take a lot of time for such a little
bitty old experiment, doesn't it?

SPT-EVA Darn it. I had that pin in there and I -

SPT-EVA *** on to me - -

PLT-EVA Can I help you any way, Ed?

326 19 56 56 SPT-EVA No. Just hold on to me. I'm getting it lined up

now. Okay, Just hold on to me, Bill. You keep
me stable, I can do it.

PLT-EVA Okay, I'm holding hard.

SPT-EVA Other way. Tell you what, I'm going to have to

change my wrist - my waist, or my chest tether
here to pull me down to that thing, because
there's no way - Get out in front of me.

326 19 58 16 SPT-EVA Okay. Now I think I stand a chance. You Just

stabilize -

SPT-EVA Tell you what, I'm going to tighten up on that

tether a little bit more again - start ***ing.

326 20 O0 19 CC CDR, this is Houston through Carnarvon for l0 min-

utes, and when you have a moment, we would like to
- get the MPC ROLL switchto INHIBIT. We'll be
dumping the date/voice tape recorder here. Over.

CDR Okay, Houston. Right now, we're work - still

working D024. It's kind of slow work.

CC Roger. We copy.

326 20 01 27 PLT-EVA Frustrating work.

CC Roger. Out.

PLT-EVA Sorry, Bruce. I was talking to Ed. I'm watching

him try to - simple one-g task is infinitely diffi-
cult in zero g here.
 287
/,._.

SPT-EVA Kind of like - -

B26 20 01 48 CC We were just - -

SPT-EVA - - kind of like threading a needle - -

CC - - we were Just - -

SPT-EVA - - with a boxing glove.

CC We were Just smypathizingwith your plight.

326 20 02 49 PLT-EVA You trying to engage snaps? Is that what it is?

SPT-EVA Yes. See, you're trying to engage snaps and I

get this thing - thing completely lined up and _**

PLT-EVA *** don't know why anyone'd design anything like

that.

SPT-EVA Well, see the thing was, this was made not for ***
I think it was made strictly for retrieval.

SPT-EVA Yes .... --

SPT/PLT- ...
EVA

SPT-EVA Look, I'm going to give it one more go and then

what we're going to do is go on inside and get
that little extra piece of gray tape that we've
got and we're going to tape the mother on here.

326 20 0B 19 CDR Can you just pip pin it without snapping it?

SPT-EVA I tried that, Jer, and the pip pin won't hold
until it gets -

CDR Doggone it. That's too bad.

326 20 03 29 SPT-EVA Hey, now wait a minute. Hey, all it needed was a
little body inertia against it.

CDR You got it?

j_
288 _.

SPT-EVA Hold on. Ah, hold on. Ah! I had it too.

326 20 03 50 PLT-EVA Here, let me hold your leg.

SPT-EVA Okay. Press.

PLT-EVA Try not to kick me in the visor. That's okay.

Your foot's clear now.

326 20 03 57 CC CDR, this is Houston. All systems are looking

good on board, and we show you about an hour ahead
of your anticipated position in the EVA time line.

CDR Roger. Thank you. We are trying to catch up though,

aren't we, gang?

SPT-EVA I tell you, these little snap holes don't look as

though they're - they take these size snaps. I'll
give them a go and then we're going to try and
tape it on here.

326 20 04 27 SPT-EVA Tell you what _ we got that Sl- we got a whole roll
of that tape in there in S149, don't we?

PLT-EVA 93, you mean?

SPT-EVA That's right, 1 -193. That's right.

PLT-EVA Yes. You want me to get you a piece of tape?

SPT-EVA Go ... - -

326 20 04 _h PLT-EVA I'll have to _in_oll that dang thing, though, - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA - - my tool pouches.

SPT-EVA Yes, I know.

CDR How about a piece of that silver tape? Can you

spare one of those?

PLT-EVA Yes, but I still have to nn_oll it. If he doesn't

get it this time, we'll do that.

326 20 Oh 50 SI_T-EVA *** time on this. This is a real killer. ***

another hour on this thing.
 289

CC Bill, we're GO for taping it from down here and

there is tape in the pouch in the airlock with
the scissors, next to 316. You don't have to un-
roll the S193 bag there.

PLT-EVA Okay. That's right. I took that out. I stowed

that myself. The small roll of tape.

B26 20 05 52 SPT-EVA Okay. Now Just hold on there, guys. Give - -

PLT-EVA I'll hold you once more here.

CDR Oh, you know what, though? I don't think that

small roll of tape - I think we pulled that out
for something. Didn't we? Ed, you remember when
you said yesterday, "Well, Just put the small
roll of tape in there, we never use it anyway."
And I said, "Yes, Ed, you're right. We'll never
use that tape."

r 326 20 06 49 SPT-EVA Now don't make a move, anybody. Don't breathe.

Ah, (laughter) oh. Hey, you know that - I think
I've been snapping it all right the way they ask.
_ But the pip pin, for some reason, doesn'twant to
stay in there.

CDR Well, why don't you go ahead and get the tape and
give it a whirl?

PLT-EVA Standby, Ed.

CDR We've blown about 25 minutes on this thing now

already.

B26 20 07 23 SPT-EVA Yes. That's it --

CDR ... - -

SPT-EVA - - all we're going to do is one. It's just not

designed for -

PLT-EVA Yes, I'll try that pouch.

CDR It is 316, Bill. It's right next to panel B16.

That's the one.

326 20 07 50 SPT-EVA Okay. I'll tell you, Bruce, I was able to get the
strip ones on real well. But the disk ones, for
 290

some reason, I get it all lined up, push down and

I feel it snap in there and then as soon as I Just
lightly touch the safety tether that's on it and
try to remove my tether from it, it Just falls
right off again. I'm not sure whether the - we
got an interface problem. It sure appeared that
way to me. What would have been helpful is to
have a - the pip pin which we put through the
center so that it would snap without ever having
to have the other snaps in there, so that we
could Just put the pip pin through and doesn't
matter whether this thing floats a quarter of an
inch off the plate at all. It's still going to
be at the right angle. I'm afraid in this proc-
ess, there's a couple of these things we shouldn't
have touched.

326 20 08 41 CDR That EVA - Does that silver tape not have a - -

SPT-EVA Make sure of it - -

CDR - - not have a - a tab on it?

326 20 08 46 CC Okay, did you verify that the assembly is cocked

properly and the words are getting down here, you
should be able to put the pip pin all the way
through and hold it in place with Just the pip
pin, if you push hard enough on it. Over.

SPT-EVA Well, okay. Let me - I got a good chest tether

up here, Bruce, which is right next to the work
and- -

PLT-EVA Go.

326 20 09 08 SPT-EVA - - Now whenever you guys can answer something

for me on that pip pin, which I push in the center
there, and release right in the center release,
which releases the balls at the end. Now if I - -

326 20 09 19 CDR Slow and easy, Bill.

SPT-EVA - - if I push doe on that, then let up real

quick, will I expect to see that pip pin come
roaring out - back at me or should I try and push
on the - the wider part around the - wider part
around - -
 f_ 291

CC I- -

SPT-EVA - - that releases - -

326 20 09 B8 CC You should try pushing on the wider part as you

release the - the release plunger.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'll try that, Bruce. It may work.

326 20 09 _5 CC And we got about B0 seconds to LOS, here. Next

station contact in 4 minutes is G_,_ at 20:14.

SPT-EVA Bill, look in that pouch. You might see some gray
tape in there.

CC And if you continue having troubles with it, why,

Just go ahead and tape the thing, and let's press
on to other activities.

326 20 i0 02 SPT-EVA l'm with you.

P
CDR Has that got a tab on it, Bill?

PLT-EVA *** a second. (Laughter) I can't even see the

endof thetape.

CDR You know we were in such a hurry after putting on

all those things on 193, I think it Just got thrown
in there without having a tab put on it. Try the
gray tape.

326 20 ll 22 SPT-EVA Okay, guys, it's there.

- PLT-EVA Hey, that's great. (Laughter)

SPT-EVA But let me tell you something. I got some finger-

marks. The only way I could do it. I tried pushing
on the outside of that pip pin, the center, that
part 's marked for thumb, - -

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA - - and several of them and I couldn't - couldn't

line it up. So I Just had to take the bull by the
horns, lined it all up square and put my thumb
right on the center of those things. Right in the
center - there's four of them right in the center.
Sorry about that, but that's the only way we could
do it.
292 _.

326 20 12 00 CDR Okay. Soon as Ed gets that stuff - or Bill gets

that stuff put away, he'll be right out after - -

SPT-EVA I hope that ... will be useful to them.

PLT-EVA Now we ought - another thing we need to do is put

a tab on this zipper pull.

326 20 12 i0 CDR That's right. It's a good point.

SPT-EVA Okay, Bill, coming back your way.

CDR Your next exercise, Ed, is to put the 230 - $230

collector and - and install it.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes. Okay.

SPT-EVA Let's see - -

PLT-EVA That is the EVA pouch.

SPT-EVA Get my hearings here.

B26 20 13 03 CDR Bill'scomingout now, Ed.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

PLT-EVA Well, let's see now. We're getting all twisted up.

SPT-EVA Let me back off a little bit here so you can see.

326 20 13 28 PLT-EVA Right where you are.

SPT-EVA Hold on, hold on. Now Just stay where you are.
Now I'll get my umbilical over your feet. Ah,
now you've gotten - Okay, now just stay where you
are, Bill, okay? Stay where you are and let me
unsnake you. Okay, now that - my umbilical which
you have rammed back in there - now come here.
Bring your left - left leg over toward me. Left
leg. Other left leg.

326 20 i_ 07 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Guam for 9 min-

utes. Out. •
 293

CDR Okay, Bruce, D024's installed and the explanation

of how he did it is on the tape recorder.

CC Beautiful, baby.

SPT-EVA Okay, let me - hand me - ... No that's not going

to - Bill, you've got to come out of there for a
moment.

CDR Okay, Bill and Ed, I don't think we're going to

have to take the Nikon out at all because it calls
for the - in the checklist here, for Bill to take
handhled pictures of you doing the 230 work, Ed.
He can Just hand you the camera stud you can take
a - a DAC shot of what you did - show where the
clips are.

SPT-EVA All right. Well, let's just take a look at that

idea. Now, Bill, how does that umbilical look?

326 20 15 02 PLT-EVA Still looks pretty bad.

SPT-EVA Well, now, hold on. Hold on. You're okay. You
Just hop in the shoes because 8/1 the umbilical's
_ in front of you. Tell me when you're in there.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay, now. Let's figure this out. Let me just

move out here slowly so we can see what the geometry
of it is.

_ 326 20 15 33 SPT-EVA Okay, where - oh, it don't look too bad.

PLT-EVA Okay, I've got this one going around me.

SPT-EVA All rlght, that's free. Now. Tell you what you
do. The only - the only entanglement you got now
is the one where my umbilical is hooked into the -
my umbilical is hooked into the clamp there. Just
un clamp it.

PLT-EVA No, wait a minute. That's mine.

SPT-EVA ... - -

PLT-EVA Here's your umbilical.

29_

326 20 16 14 SPT-EVA Hold on. Now wait a minute. Wait a minute. Just
stay where you are. Yes.

PLT-EVA Come out and let's see how they do it. If you
won't move any, I think I can get free.
(Laughter)

PLT-EVA I've heard of a bucket of wo***

326 20 17 12 SPT-EVA Okay, Bill. Gee! How does that look?

PLT-EVA Looks clean to me - -

SPT-EVA Okay, now get back up - -

PLT-EVA ... the shoes.

SPT-EVA - - get yourself back in the shoes. Now get my

umbilical straightened out and take the end which
is clamped, and start feeding it into the aft end
of the airlock.

PLT-EVA Okay, just stand by 1.

326 20 18 01 SPT-EVA Are you free of it, are you?

PLT-EVA No.

SPT-EVA Okay, now, I'll start coming back up your way.

Now, the 230 collector, can you get that out of
there?

PLT-EVA It's in work.

326 20 18 23 SPT-EVA Okay. And I'll go under - underneath D-4 here.

CDR You need any words from me on that 230?

SPT-EVA Yes, I could use some.

CDR All right. You at the area with it now?

 295

SPT-EVA Negative.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA *** straightened out here, I'ii be right with you.

326 20 19 52 SPT-EVA Okay, now. I've got to get back up here and keep
my 11mbilical free of 228.

SPT-EVA ... need a wrist tether there.

SI_-EVA That's both of them. Okay. Now let go. Okay,

Jer; go ahead.

326 20 20 25 CDR All right. It says, remove the wrist tether from
the double handle and place it on the protective
cover handle. And then remove the protective
c over s.

PLT-EVA ...

SPT-EVA Jer, let's hear that once again, please.

CDR It says, remove the wrist tether from the double

s- handle and place it on the protective cover
handle. Well, it's not on the double handle.

326 20 21 07 SPT-EVA I know how Don wants it.

CDR Okay, Just do it that way, then.

SPT-EVA If I could turn loose of that thing *** on here.

CC Roger. We're reading you loud and clear, Ed.

CDR You got two clips to remove. You place one of

them on the D-2 handrail and then you - -

326 20 21 38 SPT-EVA Stop. Hold on.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA That's a little - little ways downstream here.

CC Skylab, this is Houston. One minute until LOS.

Next station contact in 16-1/2 minutes through
Goldstone at 20:38. Out.
296

326 20 22 30 SPT-EVA Looks like it's on. Now I believe I can take
that protective cover off.

PLT-EVA Okay. You - -

SPT-EVA That's on - -

PLT-EVA .....

SPT-EVA - - And I did not touch a frapping little bit of

it.

PLT-EVA Very good.

SPT-EVA It looks good.

PLT-EVA I can see his test patch.

CC Roger. Sounds good to us too.

326 20 23 20 CDR Now, if you'll hand those - that cover to Bill,

then I'll tell you where to put the clips and
things.

SPT-EVA Okay, Bill.

PLT-EVA Just a minute. If you'll Just hold onto that and

I'll give you a wrist tether for it.

PLT-EVA Okay, why don't you tether that down there then?

326 20 24 i0 SPT-EVA Okay, Jerry, read on.

CDR Okay, it says: Remove two clips installed on the

old collector. You place one on the D-2 handrail
- and then I'll tell you where to place the other
one.

SPT-EVA Put them on the D-2 handrail.

CDR Right.

326 20 24 32 SPT-EVA Seven - two. Friendly D-2. Got to remember that.

CDR Try to be careful not to scratch that visor any

more.

CDR Looks like your umbilical's kind of hanging you

up, Ed.
 297

326 20 25 i0 SPT-EVA No, I'm - I'm Just leaning around here trying to
find D-2.

CDR Is D-2 over there on the other side? The other

side of - from your left hand? Is that it?

SPT-EVA Here?

CDR Yes.

CDH Okay, watch out for your tether. It's going to

drag over 230. Man, you're up to your elbows in
tethers aren't you?

SPT-EVA Yes.

326 20 25 39 CDR I would take that waist tether that's flying free,
if you can, and hook it onto something else there
that - maybe the other part of the other tether
or something.

SPT-EVA Yes, I think what I'm going to have to do is that,

Jet, I'm going - I'm Just going to - If I don't take
_ these tethers off, I stand a chance of dragging
them across there.

CDR That's right. Specially that waist tether. That's

a real bother.

326 20 26 05 SPT-EVA We'll need that later, but not right now. Okay,
Bill, I need a little assistance.

PLT-EVA Okay, let me put the DAC up here.

SPT-EVA What I want to do is to take off these wrist

tethers.

CDR How much film does it look like was left on there,
Bill? Do you get to see - to look at it?

326 20 26 35 SPT-EVA Okay, that one is on there.

SPT-EVA That one's on there. Now take my wrist - take

my chest one off, if you can, and tether that
somewhere.

PLT-EVA Okay. Just a second.

 298

326 20 27 13 SPT-EVA Okay. It's done, Jerry.

CDR Okay, looked like you had the right idea out there
on the other side.

SPT-EVA Okay. Just read on, through I'm - I'm - I'm not
too sure exactly what we're do want with them.

CDR All right. Now you - Just take one - one clip and
get it out of the way is all you're doing. Clip
it on this - on the handrail somehwere.

326 20 27 40 SPY-EVA Okay, we've done that.

CDR Okay, now the other clip, here's where it goes:

Place the other clip on the new collector next to
the spool with joint bracket away from the MDA,
outboard.

SPY-EVA _** some other words after that too, isn't there?

CDR No, that 's it.

326 20 27 57 SPT-EVA - Antisolardirection?

CDR Minus-Z.

SPT-EVA All right, that 's antisolar. Away from the MDA.

SPT-EVA Okay, now let's hear the other - the beginning words.

CDR All right, here we go: Place the other clip on

_ the - on the new collector next to the spool Joint
bracket, minus-Z, away from the MDA, outboard.

326 20 28 29 SPT-EVA I assume that means right close to there. Now

let's - let me see.

SPY-EVA Ah, now that one doesn't slide all the way down
does it? That's as far down as it goes. It
shades but it doesn't touch.

CDR Is the Sun behind you now?

SPY-EVA Yes.

CDR Okay.
_. 299

SPT-EVA But now wait a minute, you wanted it on the -

326 20 28 56 PLT-EVA You better put it on the small one there, Ed.

SPT-EVA That's right. That's right.

CDR Watch your heels, Ed. You're right next to the

window.

326 20 29 07 SPT-EVA Okay. That is minus-Z if I've ever seen minus-Z

and that, I think, will do it.

SPT-EVA 0kay. It 's there. Press.

CDR Okay. Translate to the VF and ingress. While

you're there, Ed, if you can somehow get yourself
in position, have Bill hand you the DAC and you
can take some pictures of it.

326 20 29 29 PLT-EVA I've already done that.

SPT-EVA Well, no, wait a minute, we need the pictures from

over here.

CDR They got to be normal to it so you can locate it

within a millimeter, Bill.

326 20 29 42 CDR Can Bill hold your feet, kind of stick you out
there, and let you take a picture of it?

SPT-EVA I tell you what, we're looking into the Sun. That's
the problem with this one.

CDR Yes. Well, that's strange. I thought this was

supposed to be on the Sun side.

326 20 29 54 SPT-EVA No, it's anti - anti-Sun. I - I talked to Don

about that one.

CDR Oh, okay.

SPT-EVA I 'm sure .... - -

CDR I'll tell you what. Let's see how far it is until
sunset. Maybe we can set the DAC for night. I've
got some night settings in here, but - you could
take the picture after sunset.
300

326 20 30 13 SPT-EVA No, I'ii tell you what. It don't - It doesn't

take much of anything to click off a few frames
at various f-stops. It's bound to get one. What
I want to do - -

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA - - is tether it, though, to m_ right hand.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Put it to f--

PLT-EVA Okay - -

SPT-EVA -- to -

326 20 30 46 SPT-EVA Okay, now could you make sure my feet don't drift
away here.

PLT-EVA Roger.

SPT-EVA Oh, I see. I see what you've done. You've done

mywork.

PLT-EVA Ed, do you read me?

326 20 31 lh SPT-EVA Yes, I got you.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now -

PLT-EVA All right, now I've got it set up on - f/8 ... - -

SPT-EVA Let me set the trigger.

PLT-EVA Okay.

326 20 31 38 PLT-EVA I had it set up on f -

SPT-EVA Now, would you hold my feet please?

PLT-EVA What ?

SPT-EVA Would you *** my feet Just a moment while I look

this thing over? Okay, you got her set for 2 feet.
That 's good.
 301

CDR Yes, all he needs is one good frame and he's in

business.

SPT-EVA All right.

PLT-EVA Have to watch it though when you push the button

you'll change - *** - -

SPT-EVA I understand that.

326 20 32 05 PLT-EVA - - if you're not very careful. I've had to

continually reset that thing - -

SPT-EVA Okay let it go for - -

PLT-EVA -- ... camera.

SPT-EVA - - for 2 frames a second. And what's the time

here you got?

SPT-EVA Okay, I think we'll probably go 250th.

PLT-EVA I'll put your feet into position, I think - u_N

J-- right position for taking the photographs.

326 20 32 55 SPT-EVA Okay, there you go. *** for me. We're in.

SPT-EVA Okay. Grind them ***

PLT-EVA That'd be the perfect ending. A11 he needs is

something he can estab - fix his geometry with.

SPT-EVA Roger. Okay, now let me Just change the f-stop

a little bit.

326 20 33 35 SPT-EVA 5.6, we'll give them a little bit.

CDR Okay, let's get on with it now. Let's don't get

behind.

SPT-EVA Yes, we -we've got it all set up, Jer, and we're -
*** take long.

SPT-EVA The good thing is that you can feel this DAC
operating between - -

PLT-EVA Yes.
 302

SPT-EVA - - gloves.

PLT-EVA Yes, that's good.

CDR Okay, let's get back to the FAS area. We got to

hand the trees in, get the DAC stowed - -

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

CDR - - get ready to start 193.

SPT-EVA Okay, Just a second.

326 20 34 41 SPT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA I think it's off. Let me take a look at that green

light.

PLT-EVA Okay. Let me have it.

SPT-EVA Okay, just pull me in toward you and I'll hand it

to you.

326 20 35 00 CDR All right, Ed, you go on into the - into the AM
now, and Bill will hand you in the tree and stuff.

SPT-EVA Okay. As a matter of fact, I'll Just take this

right in with me.

PLT-EVA Why not?

SPT-EVA Now, all of my stuff is pushed in the back there,

_ huh?

326 20 35 16 CDR Bill, I'm going to go back in the command module

and run up the V0X SENSITIVITY a little more.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR You're starting to cut in and out again.

326 20 35 36 SPT-EVA Okay, let me stow this fellow.

326 20 36 17 CDR Okay, Bill give me a short count, rather quiet.

CDR All right, make it a little louder; I didn't hear

a thing.
 303

SPT-EVA Bill, are you cutting - Are you reading me?

PLT-EVA Yes, I 'm reading you fine, Ed.

326 20 36 37 SPT-EVA Okay, did you ask Jer - did you hear Jer asking
you for a test count?

PLT-EVA Yes, I was counting.

CDR All right, give - give me another one, Bill.

326 20 36 43 PLT-EVA i, 2, 3, 4, 5.

CDR Okay, start over again, low.

CDR All right, now do it a little louder.

326 20 36 57 PLT-EVA i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, I.

CDR Is that a comfortable voice level?

PLT-EVA Yes, I can talk that loud without any trouble.

How' s that now?

326 20 37 04 CDR That looks pretty good now, if it's a comfortable

voice level for you.

PLT -EVA Okay.

326 20 37 Ii CDR All right.

SPT-EVA Hey, Jer, did you get a fire SENSOR in there?

CDR No, I'm not in there. But I haventt heard any

alarms. Why?

SPT-EVA I bet you we did that. Let me -

326 20 37 23 CDR You did what?

SPT_EVA On this panel here, OWS heat excba_er fire

sensor control panel 3 ***, got on SENSOR 2 - -

326 20 37 32 PLT-EVA They're all disabled, Ed. I had disabled them in

my checks yesterday.

SPT-EVA Well, okay. I got a red light on one of them.

PLT-EVA Well, they're disabled - inhibited on the panel.

 304 -_.

CDR You probably got a shot of UV or something.

SPT-EVA May want to mention that when we come up.

326 20 37 48 PLT-EVA I - I think it's well documented.

SPT-EVA All right. I wouldn't - I wouldn't feel comfort-

able if we said it again.

PLT-EVA Okay. Go ahead ....

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. Let me get my umbilical. Got a

foot in all this stuff.

326 20 38 ll SPT-EVA My umbilical up to the aft end.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA It's pretty well tidied up in there, Ed - Jerry.

SPT-EVA Yes, start on.

CDR 0kay, and we got a GO for 190 - -

326 20 38 55 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Goldstone, Corpus

Christi, and Merritt Island for 16-1/2 minutes.
0vet.

CDR Okay, Bruce. We're Just getting started on 193.

CC Roger. Where are you on that?

- CDR The very first page, very first word.

CC You're at S193. We've got you.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA And say, Jer, do we want to get these trees in

first ?

SPT-EVA Yes, you do.

CDR Yes, you do. I thought they were in.

326 20 39 21 SPT-EVA No.

CDR I stand corrected, Bruce. We still got to get the

VS/VC trees in. Then we'll be ready to go.
 305

CC Roger. We're Copying you.

PLT-EVA Thought I was being smart getting rid of that tape

and I'm *_* Pass the ... as soon as you get through
with that. 0ops '

SPT-EVA Oh, and I'm going to have to get down to where

I can see an alignment. Okay, Bill, pass it In.

PLT-EVA Just a second. I'm having to tape these plastic -

326 20 40 30 PLT-EVA I got one. Ah.

SPT-EVA It's all right.

SPT-EVA Okay, they're there. Bruce, we've got the -

CC Go ahead, Ed; we're listening.

SPT-EVA Back on panel - OWS heat exchanger, fire sensor

control panel number 392, a red light on SENSOR 2.

326 20 41 15 CC 392, a red light on SENSOR 2.

SPT-EVA 0kay, Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay, Jerry, you can start reading.

CDR Okay. Ed, egress the AM, head first, face toward
the foot restraint.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now we have not passed out lh0 - the - -

CDR No, you go on and get in the foot restraint?

SPT-EVA 0kay.

PLT-EVA Where am I supposed to be?

326 20 41 41 PLT-EVA I guess we're going to be going back in there. Is

that right? To get it?

SPT-EVA Let's see here. I carry it over there with me; so

I figure I'm going to be the guy who's -

326 20 41 51 PLT-EVA I thought I put the - the foot ...

SPT-EVA No, no - -
 306

CO SPT, this is Houston.

SPT-EVA Go ahead.

CC You can Just ignore that fire warning indication.

We have seen that on previous EVAs from that fire
sensor.

SPT-EVA Roger. That's what I've understood. I Just

wanted to document it again.

CC Okay. Thank you.

326 20 42 i0 CDR Okay, Ed, you're supposed to get into the VF foot
restraints.

SPT-EVA Oh - Okay, we're - I'ii get out here, I guess.

What's the starting posture for that thing? q

CDR It doesn't say.

SPT-EVA Oh, I know. Listen, the starting posture for this

thing is if we both have gotten back in here like
we were starting a new EVA.

CDR Oh, yes; that's right.

326 20 42 34 SPT-EVA So I'll tell you what. Read on a little bit and -
a_qd--

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA - - we might be able to save ourselves an awful lot

of whifferdills.

CDR You're going to - going to shove 35 feet of your

LSU into the FAS behind you. And -

PLT-EVA That's Ed's?

CDR Yes.

326 20 42 48 SPT-EVA I tell you what, Bill. Maybe we ought to - we

ought to get in that configuration. Come on
in - -

CDR Ed?

SPT-EVA - - and hop in the airlock on this side.

 3O7

CDR Right. And, Ed, you should be in the - in that

foot restraint because Bill's going to start
handing things out to you and you're going to
tether them to yourself.

326 20 43 01 SPT-EVA Okay. Put your feet down there and watch the DAC
over in the corner. Now you still got your - Take
your roll to your right and then on - do your _*_

SPT-EVA 0kay.

PLT-EVA Clamps don't work any better here than they did
in the trainer.

SPT-EVA Well, now they did all right. Now, get - get your
feet down over there in the corner. Watch the
DAC - -

PLT-EVA Okay, give me the DAC - -

SPT-EVA - - and I'll be able to move on out of here.

326 20 43 28 PLT-EVA Now, are our umbilicals straight?

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Okay. Now where do you - just tell me where to

go.

SPT-EVA Stay where you are.

326 20 43 56 CC Skylab, this is Houston. We don't believe you

have to actually get back into the airlock module
to proceed to the 193 ops. Just go to page 6.2-1
and EV-1 becomes EV-2 and vice-a-versa [sic].
Over.

CDR Yes, we know, Bruce.

SPT-EVA Roger. We're with you, Bruce. We Just wanted to

get the - It was one way of getting the umbilicals
straight for sure.

PLT-EVA We a1_eady got tangled up once.

CC Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay. What do you need first?

 J

308

CDR All right. The first thing, is the Jumper box.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR How' s everybody' s cooling?

326 20 44 08 CC And for the CDR, this is Houston. We're going to

send a load up to the ATMDC which will bias the
X-axis nominal momentum 30 percent less than what
it normally is. This is because we're carrying
a minus 50 percent right now and we'd like to cut
down the magnitude of any dump maneuver or reset
maneuver that may occur. Over.

326 20 4h 31 CDR Okay, Bruce.

SPT-EVA Bill, before you get up in there, let me get my

umbilical out. Move on back down there. Okay.
Now I got to get 35 feet umbilical up behind me
in the aft section here.

CDR That 's right.

SPT-EVA Let's feed that first. The - watch - watch the

gear - -

PLT-EVA I am.

SPT-EVA - - as I pull the stuff out.

326 20 h4 51 PLT-EVA Leave - let T025 hang out there because - -

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. Take it easy. If it starts
- hangingup on anything,let me know.

PLT-EVA Okay. Hold off Just ***

CDR Bill, you're fading off again.

PLT-EVA Okay. Okay, Ed, hold there.

SPT-EVA Take it easy there.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA There we go. You've got it all out.

326 20 45 34 PLT-EVA Well, now I have a tether for the Jumper box.
 309

SPT-EVA Well, Just a minute. I've got a EVA wrist tether

here. What I'm trying to do right now is to roll
down to clamp my LSU.

PLT-EVA Yes, I've got one too. Let me -

326 20 46 01 CDH Okay, Ed, this says to put the Jumper box on a
right wrist tether.

SPT-EVA Okay. Ready anytime you are, Bill. Send her up.

PLT-EVA Okay. Now I'm going to bring it out and hold it

without a tether.

SPT-EVA Look, let me move in there a little bit for that

kind of an operation.

326 20 46 27 CDR Put it on your right wrist, Ed.

SPT-EVA Okay. Just come on over this way. You've got

to stay where you are. *** ... out. I'll get
it. Hold on to it. Get a dirrerent angle on
it. There you go. Hold it - now hold it still.
Okay, let go.

326 20 46 59 CDR Okay?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Okay. Now the tool pouch comes out and goes on
his left wrist tether.

PLT-EVA Right there, Ed.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDH Do you copy?

PLT-EVA Yes, it's in work.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Oh, okay. That's - All right, we might be able

to use that extra tether. Okay, now let's lock
both of them.

PLT-EVA Okay, that's complete.

F_
 310 _

CDR Okay. Now, Bill, you take the foot restraint

and put it on a left wrist tether of you - for
yOU •

PLT-EVA Okay, stand by. It 's in work.

326 20 48 17 PLT-EVA Trying to change wrist tethers here. It's taking

me a ***

326 20 48 21 CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA I'll tell you, Bill, you're going to notice an

experience when you get out in the great out-
doors there. You really realize you're up. In
here, it still looks like a window until you get
out there on that Sun end, the old work center.

326 20 48 35 CDR Once you get it tethered, you and Ed just head
on for 193.

SPT-EVA Roger.

PLT-EVA And I'll go first, if I recall.

SPT-EVA That 's right - -

CDR That's right. And Ed will manage your LSU for

you. And it s_ys the route to take, translate
to S193 antenna area, using the mol sieve vent
duct.

326 20 48 55 SPT-EVA It's silver - I think it's gold now. I think

- I see a gold wrappingaroundit.

SPT-EVA How you doing there, Bill?

PLT-EVA Not much. I'm trying to get the tether loose.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'm looking at 3.6 and no lights.

CDR Okay. Bill, give me yours when you get a chance.

326 20 49 20 PLT-EVA Okay. 3.65; no lights.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay, it 's coming down.

CDR Okay.
 311

PLT-EVA Coming ...

SPT-EVA Follow the yellow brick pike.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay. Get your bearing here, Bill• And we've

got your umbilical a little snagged here, around
the front of you. Just a minute. That's your
umbilical there. Okay, now Just - pick your
left arm off. Wait until you get on the handrail.
Step over here on F-15; bring your right hand over
here. There you go.

326 20 51 03 CDR Okay, troops. You've been out for 3 hours and
7 minutes.

SPT-EVA Okay, Bill. Go ahead.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Take it nice and slow, Bill. Watch that thing.

It gets wrapped around very easily.

..... PLT-EVA 0kay.

SPT-EVA Bill - Read on a little bit, will you, Jer, so

we can see what's coming up?

326 20 51 30 CDR Well, when Bill gets there, he's going to set up
for operations. That is, he's going to try to
restrain himself and put the - the foot re-
straint in where it belongs in that -that little
- terminal down there, when he's at the first ter-
minal area.

CDB And I'm down here looking out the window waiting
- waiting with bated breath for Bill to appear
on the horizon.

SPT-EVA That's good .... Bill, Just come over there.

•.. Here he's closely ...

CDR Hello, William. How'd it go?

SPT-EVA She's there. I think •.. It's there but it

doesn't look like ...

326 20 52 49 SPT-EVA How's the umbilical, Bill? You need more?

 _h

312

PLT-EVA Oh, there it is. I - I can't tell. It's behind

me.

SPT-EVA Is it tight?

PLT-EVA It 's okay.

SPT-EVA Oh, okay, 1 sec. Slow and easy, Bill.

PLT-EVA 0kay, now, Jer, ...

SPT-EVA Bill, I can't hear you. You're going to have to

talk louder.

PLT-EVA ...

SPT-EVA 0kay.

326 20 53 39 SPT-EVA That's about right I believe. That's it. You're

almost ready to close it. No.

326 20 54 19 CDR All done?

SPT-EVA Make sure it's clear in.

PLT-EVA Man, I'm hard pressed for a pin.

326 20 54 23 CDR What?

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Is it clear through?

- 326 20 54 27 PLT-EVA Yes, but the pin doesn't lock; it's Just like
it was in the doggone trainer.

CDR And there's no ball detent on it?

PLT-EVA Yes, there is, but it works just like it did -

326 20 54 37 CC PLT, Houston. We understand you're having trouble

6 with the locking pin on the foot restraint mount.

PLT-EVA Yes, the little balls don't stick out far enough
to keep the pin from drifting back out. I'm
going to use a wrist tether.

326 20 54 50 CC Okay, you sure you've got the pip pin seated all
the way home? You got to - -
 313
f-_

PLT-EVA It's way - it's sticking way out on the other

side, Bruce.

CDR It looks like you got another half inch of travel

you could go.

CC Okay, we copy.

B26 20 5h 59 PLT-EVA Yes, but it's - I can fix it here.

CDR All right.

PLT-EVA Gosh darn - -

CDR Do what you need to do.

B26 20 55 06 CC Another suggestion, is you've got plenty of tape

with you; whatever looks like will hold it best
to you all. Maybe you can put the pin through and
then tape the pin in place or something. We got
30 seconds until LOS. Next station contact is the
Vanguard in port in 9-1/2 minutes. Out.

F_ CDR Roger, Bruce.

SPT-EVA You got it, Bill? Take your time there, Bill,
and think it through.

PLT-EVA I will. I - I have a solution.

B26 20 55 _38 CDR Yes, if you just get it tethered, you're in good
shape. It's a - installation is very good.

SPT-EVA Got it?

326 20 55 48 PLT-EVA Got it and - -

SPT-EVA Looks good.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Coming out.

CDR Now, Ed, you grab the FAS and manage your own
LSU and come on down.

326 20 55 59 SPT-EVA Okay. I've got one little whifferdill in this

LSU, which I'd like to get out of here first.
Make sure it doesn't get - Okay.
314

CDR Now, Bill, you want to go ahead and go to a posi-

tion where you're ready to start working on the
ant e nna.

326 20 56 27 PLT-EVA Okay. That's where I'm getting now.

CDR Okay.

CDE Watch out for this window behind you here, so you
don't want to kick it.

326 20 56 44 CDR Say, it seems to me the best place for you to be

working, Bill, is to be upside down from what you
are right now - with your feet away from the re-
straints, so that as Ed manages your body, he's
working with your shoulders rather than your
waist or your hips.
PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR And he'll do a lot better Job of restraining you

that way.

SPT-EVA Darn, this was originally silver, the way it says

in the trainer. That's this vent line here. It
sure isn't where the Sun gets to it.

326 20 57 37 PLT-EVA I - I think my umbilical may be caught down there.

CDR Well, I'll tell you what. Wait until Ed gets

down there and can see what's cooking.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Just relax and let him get down.

SPT-EVA No, you got - you got lots of umbilical there.

326 20 57 48 PLT-EVA Yes, but I think I went down - when I went down
there to -

SPT-EVA Yes, okay. I can - I can pull out more umbilical.

Is that what you need?

PLT-EVA No, no, I don't need any more.

CDR I don't think so.

326 20 58 04 SPT-EVA Oh, okay.

 315

326 20 58 06 CDR Bill, your feet are going to be down in the wrong
direction; they need to be - -

PLT-EVA I - well - -

CDR - - pointed in the opposite direction.

PLT-EVA Jer, I can't turn around; that's why I was -

CDR Well, then Just relax and wait until Ed gets there.

PLT-EVA That 's what I 'm doing.

326 20 58 17 SPT-EVA Okay, coming down, William.

CDR Wait until Ed gets in the restraint. Then he's

got all the leverage and he can maneuver you
around.

PLT-EVA Roger.

326 20 58 31 SPT-EVA Okay, now let me - Bill? I guess what I do is

slide right down between this box and you.

PLT-EVA Yes, if you can.

SPT-EVA Can you lean forward a little bit?

CDR Why, it's B_g Ed.

SPT-EVA There. Now - Now when I - -

- PLT-EVA Tell - tell me as soon as you get in the foot re-

straints, Ed.

SPT-EVA Yes. Stand by, there.

326 20 59 25 PLT-EVA No, I don't have any below me.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now those foot restraints are locked.

PLT-EVA Yes. So go ahead and stick your little tootsies

in there, Cinderella.

SPT-EVA All right, your - heels so they're locked - -

326 20 59 48 CDR No, you're not there; you're not there. Roll the
inside of your - your left foot in and then try
it. You're - you're cocked on the -
316

SPT-EVA Sure I'm not there?

CDR No, you're not there.

SPT-EVA Well, this is not the most stable little platform,

is it?

CDR Roll down on your left arch. Push it down toward

the plate.

326 21 00 09 SPT-EVA Okay. It feels like it's in there, Jer.

CDR Well, you're in there part way, but you might slip
out easy. Now that's good; perfect.
SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Now you're in solid.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now, read on.

CDR Okay. You're going to deploy - remove the jumper

box and place it on the hook of the tool pouch.
And - well, no, first of all, deploy the tool
pouch.

326 21 00 34 SPT-EVA That's a good iaea there.

CDR But you need to help deploy Bill, too, if neces-

sary there.

SPT-EVA Well, Bill, tell you what; why don't you just stop
thrashing there? Just - just cool it a minute.

PLT-EVA I'm trying to get my bearings so that I can see

the - I've already looked inside the pitch pot,
and it looks clean.

CDR Okay.

326 21 01 19 SPT-EVA Don't keep bumping your - ... down there. Take
it easy and I'll have this thing deployed in no
time, and I'll be holding onto you.

CDR 0ops' I saw that Jumper box floating away and

the - and the lanyard was behind it. I couldn't
see it, and I thought it was loose.

SPT-EVA Come on there.

 317

326 21 01 h3 CDR Oh, what a mess. (Laughter) I'm straining my gut

trying to help you, Ed.

SPT-EVA Well, hold on now; we're getting it.

326 21 02 09 CDR Gently with that, Ed. You're liable to flip a

tool out.

SPT-EVA Yes, I understand. Got to take this other one now

and put that one around too.

326 21 02 32 CDR Bill, I think you'd be better off helping Ed get

that tool box deployed.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Hold it out for him so that loose end doesn't swing
around, the one that's looking at you right in the
face. Attaway. Be terrible to flip one of those
tools off of there and see it go whistling off.

326 21 02 55 SPT-EVA Okay, there's the Velcro on the left side, and I
think we've got a pretty good feel now. Now I can
take my wrist tether off this thing. Okay. Now
*NN here,Bill. Son of a gun.

326 21 03 19 CDR There you go. Good show. Not - not too much;
you're flipping it clear over.

SPT-EVA Yes, I know; I got to undo a little of it.

CDR Bill's got it and handing it to you.

- 326 21 03 32 SPT-EVA Yes, I see it, but you see, there's a - -

CDR There you go.

SPT-EVA Watch your feet there, Bill. There you go. That's
what we needed. Now I in turn, am going to hand
something to you. This thing coming around here.
Will you take that?

326 21 03 50 PLT-EVA Just a sec. I got it.

SPT-EVA Okay, now pull on it. No, no; I don't mean there.
I mean underneath here.

CDR There you go. There - got it.

around -

PLT-EVA Okay. Now - -

SPT-EVA Careful with that. Don't - you got -

CDR Hey, you guys - -

326 21 13 22 SPT-EVA I'll hold you. Let me move you; you can tell me
where you want to go.
 .i

324

PLT-EVA Okay, I want to go back over on the other side - -

CDR It's okay to hold onto the waveguide. Just don't

reach out in front of the antenna. The waveguide's
real strong in the back.

SPT-EVA Well -

CDR They said that was an acceptable handhold.

SPT-EVA That makes me a little nervous.

CDR Heck, it's made out of alnm_nu1_.

326 21 13 45 PLT-EVA Okay, push my feet to your right.

326 21 13 47 SPT-EVA 0ks_v. I'm going to lose hold of you, though.

get short of breath in here.

SPT-EVA Okay, Bill. What are you doing now?

PLT-EVA I'm trying to get to the roll pot, and I can't

quite get in the right position.

326 21 14 29 SPT-EVA Just tell me where you want to be and I'll steer

PLT-EVA No.

326 21 17 12 SPT-EVA ... it better with your right arm.

326 21 17 18 PLT-EVA It's very, very difficult to get in here with a

rope.

PLT-EVA Yes. I'm on the dark side here too.

SPT-EVA *** visor up you could probably see a little bit

better.

PLT-EVA Hey, Jer?

CDR Yes.

PLT-EVA What I suggest we do is - is that I -once - I have

not seen that I have cleaned anything out.

CDR All right.

PLT-EVA But let me get out of the way.

CDR Okay. Tell me when you're well clear. I won't do

a thing until you're well clear.

326 21 18 14 SPT-EVA Okay, now what have you got as a handhold there?

CDR Be careful, I hear people kicking. Don't kick m_

window.

SPT-EVA That really zaps it over there, doesn't it?

CDR Okay, did it go to zero zero?

PLT-EVA No. It went all - full throw left.

CDR Full throw left, huh? Well, it looks like we haven't

fixed it, then.

326 21 19 22 SPT-EVA That where it was?

326 21 19 28 CDR Okay, I'm going to turn it off now.

SPT-EVA Is that where it's driven to before, Jer?

326 21 19 32 CDR Yes, that's the problem. It's rolled. Isn't that
right, Bill?

PLT-EVA Yes. This is right.

326 21 19 39 CDR All right. BAD POWER, is coming OFF.

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 21 20 01 CDR Okay, watch the waveguide.

SPT-EVA Yes. There you go.

SPT-EVA Getting in there. It - m_ybe - what I'm thinking

is we can use the hooker on it.

PLT-EVA I - I see some material down in there.

SPT-EVA Oh, good. Hey, see if you can get it.

CDR Is it the roll pot?

326 21 20 48 PLT-EVA Pitch.

CDR Well, our problem's with roll, though, isn't it?

SPT-EVA Well, they - No, they claimed that that was where
it was most likely shorted.

PLT-EVA Let's see, I got to - -

CDR Well, then I don't understand why it's going to a

maximum roll position.

SPT-EVA Bill, watch - watch - watch. Don't pull on that

thing.

PLT-EVA Well, I need to go forward or - -

SPT-EVA Just tell me where you want to go and I'll put you

SPT-EVA - - What was your - -

326 21 21 l0 PLT-EVA - - I wanted my chest to go forward towards -

SPT-EVA Okay.
328

PLT-EVA There we go.

326 21 22 21 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to have to have a flashlight, Ed.

SPT-EVA Okay, can you put it on the same wrist tether as

yougotthespatula?

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay, we're going to have to make a little maneuver

for that.

326 21 22 35 SPT-EVA *** arm down here, and I'ii try to hook that on.

326 21 2B 17 CDR Been out for B hours and 40 minutes, guys.

PLT-EVA Towards you.

SPT-EVA Towards me, okay.

PLT-EVA Now - -

PLT-EVA S_nersault - heels ,_o head.

I 326 21 25 00 SPT-EVA Is that right?

I PLT-EVA No; that's the right direction, but it didn't go

. farenough.

SPT-EVA All right. Let me pull you down.

326 21 25 44 PLT-EVA I can't get in the right position to really see in

there.

SPT-EVA All right, now Just tell me where you want to go,
Bill.

326 21 25 48 PLT-EVA I want m_ head to go forward a little bit and ...

my head - yes, I want my head to -

326 21 25 57 SPT-EVA Speak up.

PLT-EVA Okay. I need to go to my left. My head - my head

forward now. If I can hold in here, I think I can
get in there and -

PLT-EVA ... screwing me up now -

SPT-EVA Hey, Bill.

326 21 27 17 PLT-EVA Can you read me now?

SPT-EVA Yes.

- PLT-EVA I still need to go to my left. My head needs to

move to my left. No that's right.

SPT-EVA Oh, I'm sorry. Your other leg.

PLT-EVA Okay, let's see.

PLT-EVA Well, if I can get my arm out of the way Just a

little bit farther. There we go; llke that. Now
my head needs to come out. Push my whole body up
toward my head. Now I need to go back over to my
left. Oops, the flashlight came off the tether.

326 21 28 15 SPT-EVA Oh, is that right? Uh-oh. Make sure it's locked
on there; you must have 1_locked it there.
 330

PLT-EVA It 's unlocked.

SPT-EVA In all the fiddling around there. We each have

another one in our - in our shoulder pocket if we
should need it. Oop! Be careful with it. Bey,
Jer?

CDB Yes.

SPT-EVA How much time we got left in darkness here?

326 21 28 42 CDR Let's see. About 14 minutes, it says here.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR Is it pretty dark?

SPT-EVA Yes, it sure is. The only thing we got out here
to use as lights are the EVA lighting which is
on the other side, Bill's flashlight and my PCU
control light, and man, that's it. Other than
that, it's a lot of nice stars.

PLT-EVA Those little sparklies I was seeing before, what -

I thought was a part of the second stage, you
know, that's been floating around with Skylab.

CDR Uh-huh.

PLT-EVA But it turned out that all the insulation which

comes off of here is still loose - off into the
distance and once it gets, oh, 30 or _0 feet out
- or so, you got no depth perception on it. For
all you know, it's - you know, i00 miles away;
you really can't tell. That was until I saw around
l0 or 15 pieces of the booster and I decided that
wasn't it.

SPT-EVA I'll hold this, and I'm holding you, so you ought
to be able to work on it now.

CDB Got the antenna. Anything?

PLT-SPT/ No.
EVA
 331

PLT-EVA The area looks clean in there really.

326 21 30 12 CDR Okay, do you want to try another test?

326 21 30 14 PLT-EVA No, not right now .... roll looks ... First I
want to get this flashlight tethered. Holding
it I can't see what I'm doing, when - when I'm
tethering it.

326 21 30 43 PLT-EVA Hey, great; I got it.

SPT-EVA Okay, now you want to get to the roll, huh?

PLT-EVA Well, Just a second. One more time. Well, doggone,

there is some insulation down in there. Looks
like it's way beyond it, but - put the point in
the wrong - put the point on the wrong place. I
need to take it out - pointing - point it out.

SPT-EVA I got to cut my flow, LCG down, it sure is cool

over here on the night side.

PLT-EVA Well, I tell you what, let's just take a break

_-- here and don't do anythingfor a while.

326 21 31 34 SPT-EVA Well, okay, rest a little bit.

326 21 31 36 PLT-EVA Well, I - I can't hold a flashlight. It's on the

same tether as the spatuling [sic] - the spatula.

SPT-EVA Okay, how much more to sunlight, Jer?

CDR Oh, I don't know. Probably 2 minutes less than

it was last time. Just a minute; llminutes.

SPT-EVA *** stars this is the way to do it.

326 21 32 19 CDR If you can find Corvus you might look for the comet;
be between Corvus and - and what?

SPT-EVA Little short there; I'll have to take that ***

326 21 33 46 SPT-EVA Okay, Bill, let's see, you - you worked the pitch
one over pretty well up in this one corner where
I thought it would have to be. Now the roll -
Have you been able to identify the location of the
roll? End of the pot you should be working on?
332

PLT-EVA It doesntt look like the trainer here. The -

basically you have a much - much tighter fit.

326 21 34 06 SPT-EVA Keep the location, though. You got the - you
got the plus or minus roll end of it pinpointed
and working on it.

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now when we come up again, all we got to

do is Just let me worry about your body. All I
- It might take a little fumbling around but
don't tug on the wires on the back of that - the
flat cabling. Waveguide - or not the waveguide,
but the - that thing is fine but don't pull on
those -

PLT-EVA Tell you what, if you'll pull my feet down and

let me - and I could get a look at it here in
the dark.

326 21 35 12 SPT-EVA Okay.

326 21 35 42 PLT-EVA ...

SPT-EVA Say something?

PLT-EVA Can you read me?

SPT-EVA No, I didn't, Bill.

PLT-EVA What?

SPT-EVA Ss_v again. I didn't hear you, no.

PLT-EVA Oh, okay. I need to move my head over to my

right, but I need that - my - there's structure
here in the way, so I need to get - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA - - my feet first, forward.

SPT-EVA Okay ....

326 21 36 55 PLT-EVA If you can, move forward so I can look back up

*** Okay, now it's toward my feet, flat foot
down.
 333

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA That's good with the foot. Okay, I need to come

forward a little more.

SPT-EVA m** the way and I'm trying to push you forward.

PLT-EVA I'm trying to push myself slightly to the right.

326 21 37 25 PLT-EVA Now my head forward.

326 21 37 h0 SPT-EVA Hey, Jer, why don't you come on out here and hold
the antenna?

CDR Hey, I'd love to do that. Only who'd m_nd the

store ?

PLT-EVA My head needs to go toward the antenna, and I need

to come down slightly.

SPT-EVA Tell me where you want me.

PLT-EVA Okay, down a little farther.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay. Hold it right there.

CDR About 4-1/2 minutes of darkness. Looks like you're

getting -

SPT-EVA Getting a little already, I think.

CDR Yes.

PLT-EVA Okay, now bring it down lower.

SPT-EVA Lower?

PLT-EVA Yes, lower.

326 21 39 09 PLT-EVA That's good right there. Okay, if there's anything

in there, I can't see it.

SPT-EVA Looks clean, huh?

334

SPT-EVA Want to brush it a little bit, while you can see

it?

PLT Do what?

SPT-EVA Do you want to brush it a little bit more while

you can see it? It only takes a very small
piece in there.

PLT-EVA Okay. Trouble is, I 'm tied onto my flashlight.

SPT-EVA Oh, ye s. Here.

326 21 39 54 SPT-EVA Yes. I can't hold you and get my flashlight out
at the same time, unfortunately.

326 21 41 2h SPT-EVA How you doing, Bill?

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA How's your tamp?

PLT-EVA Tamp 's fine.

B26 21 hl 5h SPT-EVA What you doing in there, Jer?

CDR Making changes to the EREP book.

SPT-EVA Got a little bit of condensation on that window,

don't we?

CDR Yes, there's a little tad there. Believe it's on

the outside, too, or at least between panes.

SPT-EVA I guess it all forms there in the center of the

window where the windows are coldest. The struc-
ture probably heats it up and that center is the
•.. coldest. Do you have any kind of lights in-
side, bright lights that we could shine on that
and heat it up; get rid of it. Probably all we'd
do is drive that moisture to somewhere else on
the window. Here comes the Sun'

CDR Okay• Get back to work, you guys.

SPT-EVA The thing is if I do the ... Okay, sweet William,

what 's your desire?
_, 335

326 21 _3 08 PLT-_A Okay. I want - I want to do one more thing on

the pitch pot. And I want to brush the roll
heir again.

SPT-EVA All right, and then let's stand back and have a go
at it. If that doesn't work, we move on.

PLT-EVA Right.

CDR That's right. You have been 4 hours out there.

Now we got to kind of press on.

SPT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Just - Just a minute, Bill. I want you to get your

umbilical out of something. Okay.

326 21 43 53 PLT-EVA Ah-hah'

SPT-EVA What ?

PLT-EVA I may have found it.

SPT-EVA What is it?

PLT-EVA Some insulation On the pitch pot.

SPT-EVA All right, beautiful. I sure hope so, babe'

CDR What did you say?

SPT-EVA Insulation on the pitch pot.

PLT-EVA Well, I 'll need now the ... al_mi num.

PLT-EVA Man, that stuff is hard to remove. Here it is.

326 21 44 29 PLT-EVA Man, I hope that was it. Okay, I want to use the
flashlight bag to put mine away.

SPT-EVA All right. But Just a minute. Wait until I -

wait until I get set to sync it here, Bill.
Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay. Now you hold it.

PLT-EVA Okay. You got itY

336 -'_

SPT-EVA I've got it. Okay, now I'm going to have to put
it on a tether here, Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay. You Just let go of me for a while.

CDR Man, I hope that was the culprit. We'll find out
soon enough.

SPT-EVA Now, do you want to have another go at the other

pot ?

PLT-EVA No, I'll have another go at this one, because I

didn't see that until I pulled this insulation
cover back. I'm still not sure that that was it,
but it's a possibility.

326 21 h6 02 SPT-EVA Tell me where you want to be, Bill, and I'll put
you - -

PLT-EVA Right there. Right there is good.

SPT-EVA There's no way of getting on the ...

SPT-EVA I'll tell you, Jer, we sure have created a - another

stellar field for ourselves.

CDR I'm sure the star tracker _-ili appreciate it.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA I need - let's see - Okay, once more.

PLT-EVA I need to go to my right.

SPT-EVA To your right.

PLT-EVA Get my head back a little bit here.

326 21 47 01 PLT-EVA Okay, right in there - right in - That's good.

Beautiful.

PLT-EVA ... down. No ... The other way, Ed.

SPT-EVA Further down?

PLT-EVA Yes, the other one down.

SPT-EVA Okay.
 337

PLT-EVA That's to allow my head to come forward.

PLT-EVA Okay, can I - my feet need to come up there to-

wards my - toward the heel direction.

326 21 47 57 SPT-EVA Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pull you down
while I was doing it.

PLT-EVA 0kay.

SPT-EVA Now - doggone it.

PLT-EVA Right there - right there. Well, there's pieces

of insulation in there. That could be the prob-
lem. The - the tool's not adequate to get it.

SPT-EVA Now, let's see. What do you think you need to

get at it?

PLT-EVA Well, let me - let me try Just a little bit more.

I wish I had something like an ice pick on it.

CDR You got a screwdriver out there.

326 21 48 45 SPT-EVA I think they made that thing purposely soft like
that so you wouldn't dent anything. Now, I sug-
gest we try it before we break some stuff in
there.

CDR Yes. That's right.

SPT-EVA Anything metallic.

326 21 49 17 PLT-EVA I (laughter) tethered - I need to reel it on my

left arm and I got it tethered to my right.

SPT-EVA Now which way are things tethered? Be careful

now because that's a tough thing to work.

PLT-EVA Yes, I know.

SPT-EVA Want me to help you?

PLT-EVA Hold off.

SPT-EVA Rather than lose it, why don't you Just let me
bring you down here?

PLT-EVA Okay.
338

326 21 50 05 SPT-EVA Okay. Now, hold on to a ... that's a good idea.

Okay. Now you Just bring me your right arm.
Oh,there
itis.

PLT-EVA 0ne's on my left - -

SPT-EVA Okay, I want it on the left arm, over here.

SPT-EVA Okay, I 'd say that 's there.

PLT-EVA Okay. Now, if you can move your leg around to

the same position I had•

SPT-EVA Okay. You will have to give me instructions

again.

326 21 50 50 PLT-EVA Okay, that's - Now put my legs over here.

SPT-EVA Watch it' Hey, wait. Oh, hold it, hold it, hold
it, hold the phone' Get the umbilicals out of my
- out of the way here. Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay• Now the ... lock there and you hold it
right in there. --

SPT-EVA 0kay.

PLT-EVA Okay, _y head's got to go to the left a little•

I can't quite see to the left• Okay, a little
more.

SPT-EVA Oh• I'm sorry; it's the other left•

PLT-EVA Okay. I'm tender in my legs, too.

BPT-EVA Can you see what you are after now?

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Hey, Bill• Say what do you think if we put a

little fix tape on the end of that thing, you
can get in there with it?

PLT-EVA No• That's not what's bothering me right now.

•.• a lot of the dexterity I need to manipulate.

SPT-EVA Okay, what do you need?

PLT-EVA Okay, I got the piece out I was working for.

 339

SPT-EVA Is there another one in there?

PLT-EVA No, that's it. No. Apparently -

326 21 52 31 CDR Maybe you ought to back off and we'll see if We
got it.

PLT-EVA Okay, I'll back off again.

SPT-EVA Okay, now remember where that thing slams over

to, Bill. There's the peg ... there. So I sug-
gest what you do is push yourself back right
against the EREP window box. Get our umbilicals
out of the way because when that thing swings, it
really goes. Now get those umbilicals out of the
way if you can.

326 21 53 01 PLT-EVA Just a second.

SPT-EVA I can't reach yours.

PLT-EVA Yes.

_ SPT-EVA0kay.

CDR Okay -

SPT-EVA Nait a minute. No. No.

PLT-EVA Okay.

326 21 53 08 SPT-EVA Hold - hold it just - That one is hung up on the

EREP window box ... Not much to grab on to
there, do you?

PLT-EVA Okay, just a second. I want us to arrive in the

same position.

SPT-EVA Meanwhile, I take all the umbilicals out, and,

Jer, let her roll.

CDR Okay. Have you got the antenna position so it's

well off of zero zero?

PLT-EVA No.

SPT-EVA Here, I'll get it. Okay.

 3hO _

326 21 53 44 CDR Okay, here they go. EREP POWER, BUS l, ON; BUS 2,
ON; POWER DISPLAY, ON. Stand by, here she comes.
RAD POWER, to STANDBY, now. Minus - - .

PLT-EVA Afraid not, Jer. Didn't do it.

CDR Okay. POWER's coming OFF. Okay, you're safe to

get in close to it again.

PLT-EVA All right. Okay, let's assume that the DAC

doesn 't work.

SPT-EVA All right. Let's press on.

326 21 5_ 13 CDR All right, the next step is to inspect the flex
harness, from the three connectors to the first
tie-down to see if there is any obvious damage.

PLT-EVA That 's in work.

SPT-EVA Come on down here again, Bill, and I'll get your

PLT-EVA
Okay.

SPT-EVA - - your feet. Drift this way. Okay. I've got

your feet.

PLT-EVA Okay, the flex harness is way down there, Ed.

SPT-EVA Where? Towards me?

- PLT-EVA Yes. Okay, now you go here do a whifferdill.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Can my feet go in toward the spacecraft a little

bit?

326 21 55 06 SPT-EVA Just a minute.

PLT-EVA There we go.

326 21 55 17 SPT-EVA Just got your head here now, Bill.

PLT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA I want to be -

SPT-EVA NOw where do you want to be? _-"

 341

PLT-EVA I want to be right here. Do I have a route - do

I have a route to reach the antenna?

CDR Bill, as long as you don't move around - yes, your

SOP is over in that direction.

SPT-EVA SOP's over there.

PLT-EVA 0kay.

SPT-EVA Where you want me to get, Bill?

PLT-EVA Right here.

SPT-EVA Oh, I see what you're looking at. Yes.

Z26 21 55 58 PLT-EVA Okay, the flex harness is not d_maged.

CDR Okay, that means we got to install a Jumper box.

PLT-EVA Okay. I need the scissors, Ed.

SPT-EVA Say again?

PLT-EVA I need the scissors.

SPT-EVA Well, all right, I can't - We got to get you out

of the way here first, Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay. Am I ... my mnhilical, here?

SPT-EVA Just a minute. I Just tangled up in all the goodies

here. Hold on, here. Are you hanging on?

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay. There.

SPT-EVA Just a minute - Just a minute. Our hammer is

going to come out of here .... umbilical. Okay,
now where do you want to he?

326 21 56 50 PLT-EVA Well, I would like to be - face the work area

here. Like this. And - however, if I put my
feet in position for this view - Are you reading
me?
342

SPT-EVA Very broken. You're break - you're breaking up

pretty bad.

PLT-EVA Well - -

SPT-EVA Okay, go ahead. Right there?

PLT-EVA Yes, can you put my feet more to the - that way?
Left.

SPT-EVA To your left. Okay?

PLT-EVA No. That 's right. The other way.

326 21 57 19 SPT-EVA Your other left.

PLT-EVA There we go. Now if I get - get my feet on the

other side of you so you can pull leg back far.
So - you'll have to pull me back and I'll have
to put my feet - can you put my feet down? Toes
- heels to -

SPT-EVA There?

PLT-EVA There we go. Beautiful.

326 21 57 42 SPT-EVA Okay, now, you Just hold on there and I'll get
you a pair of scissors.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Watch out for your visor, Bill.

SPT-EVA May want to push your other visor up here.

SPT-EVA Just a minute. There. Now, you can see what

you are doing.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now, you want to put the flashlight - We've

given up on the spatula, huh?

PLT-EVA Yes, I did.

SPT-EVA Why don't you give me the spatula? And we'll put
that thing away. Get it out of our hair here.
 343

326 21 58 42 SPT-EVA Okay, scissors. Be careful here. I'll hold onto

it and you hook onto it.

PLT-EVA Yes, Just a minute. I need a little on my right.

... back to _ right.

SPT-EVA Okay, let 's lock elbows here.

SPT-EVA Let me lock them.

PLT-EVA Just a sac.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Got it.

SPT-EVA You got a lock?

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay. You take - here, I'll take the - the clamp
off. Okay. Now that's probably not the easiest
thing to use. Tell me where you want it to be.

326 21 59 50 CDR Okay. It says: Clear insulation away from con-

nectors, as required, to loosen the screws. I
guess there's nothing new here that you don't
already know.

PLT-EVA 0kay, now you need to pull me - pull my feet a

little bit. There, right there. Now put me
down toward it.

SPT-EVA ... where the VC is cleared.

PLT-EVA Hey, that's the way. Beautiful.

326 22 00 2h PLT-EVA Can you pull me back over that? Right along in
there?

SPT-EVA Okay?

PLT-EVA 0kay. Man I know that 's hard work, Ed.

SPT-EVA Well, now Just you tell me where you want to be.
Half the trouble's understanding it.
3_ ....

CDR Bill, your visor is part way down and if you keep
scraping it, you're going to ruin it. I'd put it
up if I were you.

PLT-EVA Well, I - we were going to try the VC but I don't

think we can. Okay.

326 22 01 35 SPT-EVA What are the pieces that you get out of there?

PLT-EVA What? I'm not sure I got any that was of any
importance.

SPT-EVA Apparently we didn't get the right one.

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA That was it.

PLT-EVA That was it. Yes.

SPT-EVA Jer, what do we - what's the procedure here, now?

326 22 02 02 PLT-EVA I'm trying to get - -

CDR You're going to clear way to insulation. And then

he's going to loosen those three pair of connec-
tors, and disconnect those connectors, those three.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Then he's going to-put the Jumper box in on - on

top of the plate and - -

PLT-EVA I want to go back.

326 22 02 19 SPT-EVA Which way?

PLT-EVA Toward the work area. You know, Just slightly

back; right along in here.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Just a matter of - -

SPT-EVA Knock.

CDR - - pulling out the insulation, putting on the box

and hooking up the three connectors again.
._ 345

SPT-gVA Okay, now what's this going to be for?

CDR This Just allows us to open one channel at a time.

SPT-EVA I got the pin .....

326 22 02 44 PLT-EVA I need to go down - quite a bit, Ed. Down quite

a bit. Down quite a bit. Toward my feet.

SPT-EVA Looks like you don't have much purchase here, Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA There you go.

CDR You're going to need the Yankee screwdriver next,

Ed.

SPT-EVA The what kind of screwdriver?

326 22 03 26 CDR The rebel screwdriver.

SPT-EVA Okay, the Dixie screwdriver. The Dixie screw-

f driver coming up.

CDR Dixie screwdriver, htth? (Laughter)

SPT-EVA Okay. Hey, we want to tether this thing, huh?

326 22 03 58 CDR Yes. Don't lose it.

SPT-EVA You want another tether, Bill?

PLT-EVA No, I think this is all, but Just a second.

SPT-EVA Okay. Okay, you've done all the clearing you need,
huh?

PLT-EVA I think so.

SPT-EVA All right. Hand me the scissors and I'll put them
away. Better be careful with that. Okay, can
you hold yourself there now?

PLT-EVA Yes.
 346

326 22 04 24 SPT-EVA Because I need both hands for this one.

SPT-EVA Bill has a way, Jer. He Just flies away from

the spacecraft. I'm afraid -

PLT-EVA ... it's the outgassing from our PCUs.

SPT-EVA PCU's.

CDR Careful with those scissors now, Ed.

SPT-EVA Oh, I've put them up, Jer.

CDR I know, but they're not tethered in.

326 22 05 02 SPT-EVA I understand that. But I'm more concerned about

losing this tether.

PLT-EVA Okay, now.

SPT-EVA Jer, it's going to take forever to get that thing

in there. We're Just going to have to depend on
the Velcro here.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Same with our friend - friendly spatula. Okay.

Here comes the screwdriver.

326 22 05 56 SPT-EVA Okay. Get your back to operating location here.

Okay, tell me where you want to be.

- PLT-EVA Right - for right now, get these first three out.
Haven't been able to get ... like they thought
they would.

SPT-EVA Say again.

PLT-EVA Oh, nothing.

CDR Bill, I think your problem now is that you got

that mike in your mouth. You're probably over-
driving the VOX system now.

326 22 07 03 SPT-EVA Having any much - much luck?

PLT-EVA I'll let you know in a minute.

 347

PLT-EVA 0kay. Now you can put me down a little bit.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Move me down and let me compare that one.

SPT-EVA What do you think they're ...

PLT-EVA Okay. Let me try some more here. Turn m_ water

flow down a little bit. I'm getting a little
chilled. Okay, let 's try again.

SPT-EVA Lean up.

326 22 0R 30 PLT-EVA This thing is not engaged in the slot.

SPT-EVA Make sure it's perpendicular.

SPT-EVA That do it?

PLT-EVA I don' t know.

PLT-EVA I wonder if there's a slipknot under there.

CDR No, I don't - I wouldn't think so. I - I would

think they would know about it if there was.

326 22 l0 08 PLT-EVA Seems like there's a knot under there slipping.

I'm twisting the - the *** Hey, I finally got
one.

SPT-EVA Hey, there you go. Okay.

PLT-EVA Why didn't these others come out?

SPT-EVA I think you got it perpendicular. I can see it.

You got to move it a little - the top a little
bit to your left.

PLT-EVA Well, son of a gun.

SPT-EVA Did you get it?

PLT-EVA No.

SPT-EVA Tell you what.

348

PLT-EVA Well, it seemed to come down some. Can you -

Too bad; that worked so well on the ground.

326 22 ll 52 PLT-EVA All right, it's perpendicular. There's something

underneath there moving, Jer. I can see it.

PLT-EVA I think that 's it.

CDR The one I did underwater took, what seemed to me,

an inordinately large number of strokes to get it
open.

PLT-EVA I think we've gotten them. Okay, now move ***

CDR You got all three?

SPT-EVA Three of them on one side. Now we've got to get

the other three.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Let me see in there. Okay, can you push my -

toward my feet.

326 22 13 17 SPT-EVA Now, that's really hard for you, Bill. You may
want - I'll just move out of the way and let -
and I can lean forward and do it.

SPT-EVA I got them all stabilized and everything. Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay. Tell you what. Just hold on just - Get

stabilized and move yourself over this way.

326 22 13 37 PLT-EVA I'll tell you what. Let me get the - the two -

CDR I wouldn't - Okay, there you go.

SPT-EVA You sure don't have much clearance here.

PLT-EVA Let me ... in and then push that insulation in.

SPT-EVA Okay. Don't drift away.

326 22 14 37 PLT-EVA Okay. Pull me back down there, Ed. I'm used to
working the thing.

SPT-EVA All right. You're going to have to come at it

from an angle.
 349

SPT-EVA Hand one to me, Bill.

326 22 15 15 PLT-EVA Don't worry, Ed, that's right. Now I want to go

down toward m_ feet. There. Now toward my right
slightly. Down, back it down again.

SPT-EVA Here, you have to come at it from an angle. I'll

tell you that's a - a tough angle to move that in
there ....

PLT-EVA Yes, they - they didn't have it that way in the

water tan_. It was where we could get to it.

SPT-EVA i remember that - that clearance problem.

326 22 16 00 PLT-EVA Okay, I - doggone it. I just keep coming back up

here.

SPT-EVA Okay. Okay. Where do you want to be? Right

there?

PLT-EVA That 's good.

_-- SPT-EVA Okay.

326 22 16 12 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Goldstone and

Corpus Christi for 12 minutes. Over.

CDR Hello, Bruce. We're in box ll on the road map

right now.

CC Thank you, Jerry.

PLT-EVA Let this come down some.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay, that 's good right there.

CDR We tried cleaning both pots twice and powering up

and running a functional check. It Just didn't
work. So we finally gave up on the "cleaning the
pots bit", and we're now in the process of in-
stalling the Jumper box.

CC Roger. We copy. Thank you.

350 :-_

CDR At the moment Bill has gotten one side of the

three connectors loose and he's working on the
other side of them now.

PLT-EVA Working on the hard side now.

326 22 16 51 CC ... on those connectors, you want to back them

out" a little bit on each side at a time, don't
you?

PLT-EVA On these it doesn't make any difference. I did -

I drifted about an inch and a half too high, Ed,
if you can -

SPT-EVA Okay. Why don't you - -

PLT-EVA Oh, it's my arm. I see why you're having trouble.

SPT-EVA Yes. See, your right is the one that's -

PLT-EVA I can't engage that thing.

326 22 17 23 SPT-EVA You can't engage that thing, can you? I'll tell
you, Bruce, we got a littlebit of - - -

PLT-EVA ... Is there any way you can swing my feet back
over to my right?

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA In the back. Now twist - twist me to the right

and my feet back to the right at the same time.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Okay, you gt_rs. What about flipping him 180 de-
grees so his feet are in the opposite direction
and then Ed working on his shoulders?

SPT-EVA We could do that. What do you think, Bill?

CDR ... back out.

PLT-EVA That's good, let's try it that way.

SPT-EVA Okay. Going one ... - -

 351

326 22 17 51 CDR Now, Ed, you ought to be able to see better what's
going on and you can help give him better bracing.

PLT-EVA Okay, now you're going to have to push me down a

little bit farther. I can't see it now. To my
left; that way. Okay, now I have to feel my left
hand ... these tethers.

326 22 18 13 SPT-EVA Hey, Bruce, we've got a bit of a problem with the
alignment on the - the down side of this. That's
the - the side closest to the flange, the large
flange which runs by and which supports the box.
I don't think these - screwdriver which we're
using Just won't allow us to get a straight pur-
chase on it - on the three screws on that one
side because the location of the flange so we're
trying to come in from an angle.

PLT-EVA I need for my head to go toward it.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Up around ... my head, I can see right in here.

SPT-EVA All right.

PLT-EVA 0kay.

326 22 18 58 SPT-EVA Okay, I've got you. Watch your helmet.

PLT-EVA Oh, that's not the way to do it.

SPT-EVA Yes. I don't think we've got enough stabiliza-

tion - -

PLT-EVA ... Just a second. No, I didn't mean that, I

meant - that's a good position, I think ... Right
in here would be good if you can hold that.

SPT-EVA Okay. I got you.

SPT-EVA That get it? Did you get one?

326 22 19 5h PLT-EVA No. I may have. I don't know. It's hard to

tell. Boy, this tether loop is right in the
wrong place.
352

PLT-EVA Well, we'll know how to do it the next time, Bed.

SPT-EVA There you go; that's a good straight shot.

PLT-EVA (Laughter) Having to hold the attitude antenna

on there is a real hindrance, but of Course it'll
save it, too.

SPT-EVA Yes. We can't operate without that.

PLT-EVA Okay, right there. Can you hold that?

SPT-EVA Yes.

326 22 21 00 PLT-EVA That's a ... angle.

SPT-EVA That ... doing it.

PLT-EVA I don't know. I'll tell you in a minute.

SPT-EVA You can see the other ones on the - the other
side are loose.

CDR Give it lots of strokes, Bill. It seems to take

a lot more than you think is normal. -

PLT-EVA Yes.

326 22 21 33 CDR Hey, we Just flew over the Las Vegas area. I can
see Lake Mead down there.

PLT-EVA I need to go to ... let's see, right along in

here.

SPT-EVA Okay. I 'll hold you.

CDR We must be m-king descending pass right down

California.

326 22 22 48 PLT-EVA You can move my ... light to the left, I lost
sight of the screw. Oh, boy.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA ... that way.

SPT-EVA Yes, you got to - to your left?

PLT-EVA That 's good, right there.

 353

326 22 23 12 SPT-_A Okay, good. I think you've got to move that

screwdriver a little to your right to get a
straight shot at it. It'll be perpendicular.

PLT-EVA ...

CDR Over BaJa.

PLT-EVA Once more.

SPT-EVA Say again.

PLT-EVA Let's try it once more.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Man, wish I had a handhold, it'd be nice.

326 22 24 05 CC For CDR, Houston. Your X-axis momentum is up to

about minus 60 percent, so we're going to up our
bias offset from minus 30 to minus 45. Over.

CDR Okay, Bruce.

f--

PLT-EVA Oops, I can't see. I'm looking straight on there.

No, it didn't do any good at all. It Just - we
made the handle too big on this thing. It's half
the flange on this channel where there's -

326 22 24 _9 CDR Would the other screwdriver be any easier?

SPT-EVA Do you think you can get the other screwdriver in

- there?

PLT-EVA Oh, I don't - I don't have any confidence at all.

SPT-EVA That one, huh?

PLT-EVA No.

SPT-EVA I'll tell you what. Give it - give that a couple

more go's and we'll ... - -

PLT-EVA I'll tell you what. Get me back and I'll come in
from the outer ***

SPT-EVA Okay. Here you go.

B54

326 22 25 22 SPT-EVA I think one of the problems here is the visibility

in coming in perpendicular to the face of that.

PLT-_A I ... need to go towards my feet about a foot.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay. Now a little bit farther towards my ***

Come down. Boy that's ...

SPT-EVA Watch your left - or your right foot. That's

the ...

PLT-EVA Right here, right here, hold it.

SPT-EVA Okay. I'll hold you.

PLT-EVA Can't quite approach it right. Now I'm going to

try to -

SPT-EVA Let me take the screwdriver there, Bill.

PLT-EVA Just a second.

--4

CDR Big problem Just getting it lined up, huh?

PLT-EVA Well, - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

326 22 27 41 PLT-EVA - - There - there's no way to line it up.

SPT-EVA There's a big flange, which we have the - the

tool kit on. It's Just too close to the center
line of this last screw.

CDR Oh, son of a gun.

SPT-EVA So you got to take and put the - put the thing off
at an angle and try to work it.

SPT-EVA Tell you what, let's give the other screwdriver a

try.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Why don't you go on up there and rest a bit?

 355

PLT-E_CA Where?

SPT-_/A Well, anywhere you want.

CDR Watch for that antenna.

PLT-EVA How's that?

SPT-EVA Yes.

326 22 28 23 CDR Your - your umbilical's swinging out there in

sulation would stay out of the way.

326 22 32 _l SPT-EVA Got to be some way to get this insulation out of

the way, because I can't get mY eyeball down
there. See this little ... half inch of insula-
tion that Just keeps hanging out there.

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Tell you what, Bill, take the spatula - and try
to hold that insulation back, like that. I can
see the - the screw that I'm trying to get this
screwdriver into.

PLT-EVA Just a second, let me get down here a little bit.

326 22 33 30 SPT-EVA But not by much. No, a little toward the corner.
No, no, that spatula's in the way. That's not a
good idea; that won't work ....

let me see. Which one is it? That's J-12, the
one opposite the ... lettering of J-12 - I'm sure
we're turning. It's the easiest one to get to.

the - whatever's behind it is turning too. In
other words the - the - -

326 22 42 08 CDR Nut plate.

SPT-EVA - - the nut plate. And that kind of puts you

as we're pushing down on the screwdriver. Let me
try that a few times.

CDR That'll help - that'll help hold the nut plate,

if that's what it is.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's - Now wait a minute; you know that

PLT-EVA Okay.
 367

SPT-EVA Now let me get back down there, and we'll get you
the flashlight out, and I'll try to tighten that
thing up, because the rest, I think, is switch
throwing, isn't it?

326 22 58 58 PLT-EVA No, We got to push those connectors in.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes. Those don't have to be screwed in though,

do they?

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA - - Ed, I should be in a fair position for that.

326 23 00 30 SPT-EVA Here it is, down here. Okay, because we got three
of them, Bruce - not Bruce. Thinking of Bruce
coming up here. I'm Just going to hold this one.
Okay, there we go.

CDR When you finally do get the tape off, you want to
put both switches to ON, push.

326 23 02 hh SPT-EVA Well, right now they've got them both to OFF, taped.

PLT-EVA No, no good. Just a minute.

CDR Now what we're going to watch for, guys, is to see

if it goes to zero roll.

SPT-EVA Yes.

F_ CDR We don't - don't care about pitch.

SPT-EVA Okay, Jer, - -

PLT-EVA Okay. Just wait. I 'm - -

326 23 09 30 SPT-EVA Just wait. Let's see_ what you need to do - -

PLT-EVA - - trappedhere.

SPT-EVA - - is to bring your feet down. Here, I'll -

I'll move your head up this way. You can get
over there on that vent the same way. Shinny up
that as you did before.

326 23 09 47 CDR About 7 minutes until daylight.

PLT-EVA Okay, that 's -

SPT-EVA *** what you're trying to do, Bill.

PLT-EVA Well,I - °

326 23 09 56 SPT-EVA There you go. Here I'll take that flashlight.

/-_ PLT-EVA Okay.

 374 _

SPT-EVA Let go.

PLT-EVA Just a minute, Jer.

CDR Okay. I'm not going to make a move until you guys
tell me you're clear.

SPT-EVA Okay. You want to shinny up that pole?

326 23 I0 ii PLT-EVA Well, I can't - I don't think - Is that clear?

Oh, yes, I guess it does - coming up, though, you
see.

326 23 i0 21 CC Skylab, this is Houston; 1 minute to LOS, next

station contact through Hawaii in 39 minutes.

SPT-EVA Okay, Just move on up there.

326 23 l0 43 SPT-EVA Okay, you feel you're clear, Bill?

PLT-EVA Just a minute.

326 23 l0 47 PLT-EVA Okay. Have at it.

CDR Okay. Here we go again.

326 23 l0 53 CDR POWER is going to STANDBY -

326 23 i0 55 CDR Now.

CDR Where did the antenna roll to?

- PLT-EVA Okay, it's Just about *** and pitch to - -

CDR I can't hear you, Bill.

326 23 ll l0 PLT-EVA Roll, zero.

SPT-EVA Roll, zero. And pitch - what the heck would you
call that?

PLT-EVA Oh, about 30 degrees, or something like that, I 'd

guess.

SPT-EVA 30? Is that relative to the,- -

326 23 ll 23 PLT-EVA Relative to the bottom of that box there - bottom

of the - -
 375

SPT-EVA Oh, I see.

PLT-EVA - - bottom of the MDA.

SPT-EVA Oh, okay.

326 23 ii 30 CDR All right. What this says is: The pitch pot is
shorted is our answer.

SPT-EVA Now wait a minute. It's not in the position it

was before, Jer.

326 23 ii 41 PLT-EVA Well, what's the criteria? Our - our problem, Jer,
is that we don't know exactly what the - -

CDR Okay, look. I - I'm - or - Did you see the antenna

move quickly to the zero position?

SPT-PLT/ Yes.
EVA

326 23 12 Ol CDR Okay. All that tells us is that the pitch pot is
the one that's shorted.

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 23 12 06 CDR All right. Now do you want to check it out by

doing a pitch pot check? No big thing.

PLT-EVA What 's that involve?

CDR All right, we just go down there and change the

position of those switches.

SPT-EVA Okay. Stand by.

CDR All right. Wait a minute until I get the power

off the antenna.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR All right the POWER is OFF; it's safe to go in.

Now what you want to do is to push PITCH, ON and
ROLL, OFF. Yes, we'll give that a whirl and see
what happens. '

326 23 12 41 PLT-EVA Man, that's hard to get to.

376

SPT-EVA Yes, you're right.

326 23 12 44 CC CDR, this is Houston. If the roll axis went back

to zero when you did it, proceed on to box 17.

CDR Okay. Don't you want us to check out pitch?

326 23 12 53 SPT-EVA We're already - got it configured that way. So

let's Just give it a go. Make sure we really
understand what 's happining here.

PLT-EVA Go ahead.

CDR We're going to check out the pitch pot, Houston.

Okay - -

326 23 13 ii SPT-EVA I'm clear. Bill's clear.

CDR You're - you're both clear.

PLT-EVA Roger.

326 23 13 13 CDR Here comes the - to STANDBY.

SPT-EVA Okay, there it is. Over.

326 23 13 16 CDR MARK.

PLT-EVA Looks like it goes over and wanders.

SPT-EVA Yes, well, it wanders in ROLL, but in PITCH it's

full - it's hard over.

PLT-EVA Right.

CDR Okay, so that is our problem. Let me turn off

the switches. Okay. The antenna's - yes, the
antenna's clean.

SPT-EVA Okay. What would you like?

CDR All right. Now we're going to go do - let's see

- box number 17, which is pin the pitch gimbal.

326 23 13 42 SPT-EVA Okay. Do we want to take an_ reverse the switches

we have now?

326 23 13 h6 CDR Yes.

 377

326 23 13 47 SPT-EVA Okay. I will do that first. I'm going to put it - -

CDR In fact, you better do that, and we better check

it out; make sure we haven't screwed things up.

SPT-EVA *** idea.

CDR So, what we want here is PITCH, OFF, pull, and

ROLL, 0N, push.

326 23 14 13 SPT-EVA Okay, that's the way it is, and let me - let me
step back here a minute.

CDR Okay. When you're clear -

326 23 lh 18 SPT-EVA Okay, Bill is clear and I am clear. Go ahead.

CDR Here we go. Go to STANDBY -

326 23 14 23 CDR Now.

SPT-EVA Now it goes to zero and - -

F- PLT-EVA It Just flops around in pitch.

SPT-EVA Just flipflops around in pitch, but it goes to

zero in roll.

326 23 14 34 CDR Okay. Your antenna is now safe, Pin the pitch
gim - -

SPT-EVA Okay, so now- -

CDR - - pin the pitch gimbal.

326 23 14 38 PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR And you ought to be getting some Sl,nlight here

any minute now.

PLT-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Okay. Let me understand how far we go here.

We pin the pitch gimbal and then - then what, Jer?
i

326 23 14 49 CDR Well, let's see; that's all, I think.

PLT-EVA That 's it.

 378

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Then we pull it out.

326 23 14 53 PLT-EVA Thank goodness we didn't have to *** in it.

CDR Oh, you got to install a disabling plug, too.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Don't forget that.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes.

326 2B 15 06 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to start working _ way back over
there, Ed.

326 23 15 17 PLT-EVA This is - We'll use that ratchet that we fixed up

with the ball on it.

SPT-EVA I tell you what ; let's get over here and get
squared away so we can tether things again. You p_
got the only tether. So I'm Just going to have
to handhold mY flashlight here. Pitch lock; here
it is. Put a tether right on there.

326 23 15 47 PLT-EVA Also we've got to put the thermal cover on.

CDR Yes, that's right. You got to put a thermal

cover on the Jumper box, too.

- SPT-EVA I tell you what, let's - Well, we can clean that

one up easily enough. So - we would only knock it
off also while we're moving in here.

326 23 15 58 PLT-EVA Well, I tell you, you could do that while I am

taking this pitch lock out.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA And - -

326 23 16 02 CDR Okay, Sun - Sun's coming up, gang.

SPT-EVA Look through and see what's going on.

CDR - - you could see back behind you and see all
the flashing lights caused by all the little - -

SPY-EVA Yes, I know. That's what I was remarking about

before, when they first started.

CDR Boy, they look like strobe lights, they're so

bright.

SPT-EVA Also - -

SPT-EVA - - right foot out here a minute.

PLT-EVA Pat it - pad it around the sides.

326 23 19 12 CDR Looks like there's only about two pieces of that
silver tape left underneath there.

PLT-EVA That - this doesn't really have to be - As long

as that Velcro *** help if we did. So let's go
ahead.

CDR Did you get the pitch pin in, Bill?

PLT-EVA No, I haven't started on that yet, Jet.

326 23 19 30 CDR Oh, Okay.

326 23 20 13 SPT-EVA One big hunk of gray tape would do it.

PLT-EVA Okay, if you'll - -

it started.

PLT-EVA We have some tape. See on the - -

326 23 21 13 CDR MY gosh.'

SPT-EVA I'll tell you, that sunlight - Oh, boy, that tape
just doesn't want to stick, does it?

326 23 21 19 CDR No, it's not very good tape at all.

SPT-EVA Anyway, we can get - -

the structure here.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR One more is all you got.

SPT-EVA Oh, I won't ask for more then. Here.

326 23 21 41 CDR It sticks nicely to itself though.

bit cool. That 's probably why.

SPT-EVA Got one tape.

326 23 21 51 PLT-EVA Don't put - don't put the tape at - at the

thermal control, Ed. That white square.

SPT-EVA Oh, okay, Well, let's see here.

PLT-EVA You - if you - that - if you could peel that one -

SPT-EVA I'll peel that one back so i%'s completely free.

PLT-EVA That's good. That'll keep the thermal peop *_*

382 ,'_

326 23 22 3h SPT-EVA That - that's not going to stick. Hey, I'll

tell you what, though.

PLT-EVA What can you do?

SPT-EVA The tape is so darn cold that it's Just -

326 23 22 59 SPT-EVA Okay, we got the Velcro on, and we've got it
around the side there. As long as we don't dis-
turb it while we're here, nothing else is ever
going to happen to it.

326 23 23 15 CDR You started to peel back the insulation, Bill?

326 23 23 19 PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR Okay, we got two allen-head cap screws to get

out. And those screws are not captives.

SPT-EVA We don't need them though, huh?

CDR No.

PLT-EVA *** could - do you - Could you hold on to me?

326 23 23 3h SPT-EVA Yes.

from this.

SPT-EVA No, let's see. See, I'd have to - I can't - -

PLT-EVA Okay. That's all right.

SPT-EVA - - do everything for you because you're

working normal to the forces I could put on you.

326 23 23 hh PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Let me *** this stuff was done.

326 23 24 32 CDR You got 5 hours and 40 minutes.

SPT-EVA Well, let's see now; roll is the one that had
some crosstrack, isn't it?

CDR Yes.

SPT-EVA Well, that's good because - heck, they can always -

It might not give them a forward or backward
scattering with the pitch, but heck, they can do
a lot with roll.

CDR Boy, you sure can.

326 23 25 13 PLT-EVA Okay, you want - -

SPT-EVA Coming up again.

_-- 326 23 25 16 PLT-EVA Ed. (Clears throat)

326 23 26 47 PLT-EVA Keep pushing myself back when I -

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Get yourself all lined up. Here, you want me

to hold the antenna? Would that help?

PLT-EVA Yes, that ought to help a ***

SPT-EVA Get yourself all lined up, and then use inertial
once - and a couple - a couple thrusts like that
ought to do it.

326 23 27 04 PLT-EVA *** come down towards you.

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 23 27 12 PLT-EVA 0ops' No, that's not going to work. If you can
hold that antenna right there.

326 23 27 44 SPT-EVA Want me to pull your foot down a little?

PLT-EVA Getting it -

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 23 28 05 PLT-EVA Got it.

SPT-EVA Attaboy. Okay.

PLT-EVA Jer? Say again, Jer.

CDR Okay, go ahead and pull the launch lock out.

Is it out?

PLT-EVA *** come out.

 385

CDR Beg your pardon.

PLT-EVA It doesn't want to come out. Stand by 1.

326 23 28 39 CDR Well, then you might have to rap it with a

ha_,,er.

PLT-EVA Why I haven't - *** sure I had both of them.

CDR The screws are not captive, Bill.

PLT-EVA I know, and they both - I thought - I was sure

I saw them both go.

326 23 29 05 PLT-EVA Out.

CDR They are?

326 23 29 06 PLT-EVA Both the screws are out.

326 23 29 08 CDR Okay. Probably, it's - you know, it's probably

a snug fit. If Ed could hand you the hammer, I
would tap that thing a little bit around the
- edges and see if you can'twork it out.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay, stand by before you do that.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'll hand you the Pete Conrad cementer [sic].

326 23 29 33 PLT-EVA Okay; I'll take it.

SPT-EVA Have you got a - How about a tether? You don't

need that for a screwdriver any more, do you?

PLT-EVA No.

SPT-EVA Okay, take that off. I'll put it away. *** come
out of. I guess over here. Okay.

326 23 30 05 PLT-EVA If it doesn't work, get a bigger hA-,,er.

SPT-EVA Right.
e

PLT-EVA Okay - -
386

SPT-EVA Give me your tether.

326 23 30 19 SPT-EVA Guaranteed to fix by Pete Conrad.

SPT-EVA ... can fix that.

PLT-EVA Something therapeutic ***

326 23 30 38 PLT-EVA Let me get back over where I was.

SPT-EVA Wait Just a minute.

PLT-EVA You 're turning -

SPT-EVA Which way do you want to go?

326 23 30 h9 PLT-EVA There we go; like that.

SPT-EVA Oh, all right.

CDR Well, don't kick your heels; don't kick your heels.

326 23 30 58 SPT-EVA Going to have a face full of vacuum. Can't say

I blame him.

326 23 31 13 SPT-EVA Okay, be careful while you're there.

CDR Are you doing any good, Bill?

CDR You'll probably have to tap it three or four

different directions and then try pulling on it
some more. Possibly you'll have to pull on it
while you're tapping it. Don't club it; Just
tap it.

326 23 31 44 SPT-EVA Not any way of getting a hold on that thing.

PLT-EVA These wires are into it, see.

CDR Well, pull - use the wires to pull it. And then
Just tap it with the hammer as you're pulling
it out. Hopefully, that 'll work.

326 23 32 06 CDR I remember the - the backup unit was kind of a

pressed fit. It kind of popped when it finally
came out.
 387

SPT-EVA Now let's see, what have we got that we can get
a hold on that thing with?

CDR You got some vise grips in there.

SPT-EVA That 's true.

326 23 32 24 CDR Still no luck, Bill?

PLT-EVA This thing is really on there. I'm afraid to

hit it -

326 23 32 33 SPT-EVA I thought I saw you budge it there.

PLT-EVA Yes, I think it broke a little hit then.

326 23 32 38 SPT-EVA There you go' That's the right direction. Now
hit it the other way; knock it back. There you
go; that - that's working it. At least we know
which direction to work it. Just keep your hand
on there. Now wiggle it up and down and pull on
it at the same time in that direction.

F 326 23 33 i0 PLT-EVA Ah' Whoo'

SPT-EVA Boy, that was not an easy one.

PLT-EVA That's like pulling teeth over ...

CDR (Laughter) You got it?

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA We got it out.

326 23 33 18 CDR All right. Now get the manual gimbal lock and
verify that the handle is fully counterclockwise.

SPT-EVA Tell you what, let's bring this up. Give me the
hammer. I'll put it away, and - Hey, wait - oh,
wait a minute - oh, careful. Hey, hey, hey, your
hammer is loose there - yes. You can only Velcro
down there. Let me put this away.

326 23 33 57 SPT-EVA Sure wasn't an easy fix for _he work, but so be
it. Okay, come on over here. And - There's the
pitch lock.
 388

326 23 34 05 CDR Okay, make sure the handle's fully counterclockwise.

SPT-EVA Bill, first of all we want to get it tethered.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Watch your heels, Bill; you're at the window again.

SPT-EVA Lock it for you.

326 23 34 34 SPT-EVA Locked.

326 23 34 51 SPT-EVA Velcro it; let's stick it in there. Tell you

what; let me try it the other way. If this bolt
... hold *** darn thing right out.

326 23 35 12 CDR Watch out for the ratchet; there goes the ratchet.

PLT-EVA Oooh!

326 23 35 21 SPT-EVA Just a minute here. Hold on; let's - let's Just
regroup here. I tell you what - this blame ratchet's
going to help us out. We're going to put that
underneath here. Okay, now you've got that - -

PLT-EVA Is that all?

SPT-EVA - - and I'll put the ratchet away.

326 23 35 44 PLT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay, Jet, you say make sure that this thing
- is- -

326 23 35 51 CDR Fully counterclockwise, Bill.

PLT-EVA That 's right.

SPT-EVA At least we were when we ... - -

PLT-EVA (Laughter)

SPT-EVA You know what it's like? It - it's like over

there in the - in the locker room. No matter -
two guys could be in there; they're always in the
same locker, right next to each other. Here we
are ; we got the whole frapping universe in back of
us, and we're both crowding in on the same spot.

CDR (Laughter) Okay, Bill, you checked that out?

SPT-EVA Got it full counterclockwise?

326 23 36 32 PLT-EVA Affirmative.

CDR All right. Now as soon as Ed gets a free hand

and gets you in position, we'll have Ed position
the antenna so that the gimbal locking hole is
visible through the mounting. Through the mount-
.... inghole.

SPT-EVA Okay, you get yourself aligned there.

PLT-EVA It's right there; hold it right there.

326 23 36 49 CDR All right, put it in.

PLT-EVA I can't - Just a second; I'm floating away again.

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 23 36 57 PLT-EVA *** misery working out here with no restraints.

SPT-EVA I tell you, you're ... - -

PLT-EVA Right there, Ed. You see the - got the picture?

326 23 37 04 SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Okay.
e

PLT-EVA I got a bunch of clamps - -

326 23 37 08 CDR Place the gimbal- place the gimbal lock in the
mounting hole, aligning the dowel pins with the
390

threaded holes. Verify that when the engage -

when the latch is engaged.

326 23 37 26 PLT-EVA Oh, darn it.

SPT-EVA How you doing?

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA You got it?

326 23 37 42 PLT-EVA Think so.

CDR Got it latched?

PLT-EVA No.

SPT-EVA Okay, pull it out. Do you see the hole?

326 23 37 h8 PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay, is it centered?

PLT-EVA
No.

SPT-EVA Move it.

SPT-EVA Let me move it for you.

PLT-EVA Right - no, keep moving up a little bit. Right

there.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'll try to hold it right there. I got

to - -

326 23 38 0B PLT-EVA Okay, now I've got to hold the insulation back
while I put this thing on. This is what's causing !
me the problem.

326 23 39 14 SPT-EVA Wish there was some way we could hold this ... - -

PLT-EVA Okay, I got it.

SPT-EVA You got it?

CDR Is it latched? ,

326 23 39 18 PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVALet'sverifyit. _-_
 391

CDR Okay, check it. See if, by wiggling the antenna,

it's in pitch.

PLT-EVA Okay, Just a second.

SPT-EVA We have a problem.

326 2B 39 24 CDR Don't turn it; Just rotate it in pitch. That's

not pitch, is it?

PLT-EVA Yes.

326 23 39 33 SPT-EVA Yes, that's pitch.

CDR All right, if you got in the hole, then start -

turn the lock handle down eight turns.

SPT-EVA Now, how do we know that we really got that hole

aligned? Although it looks pretty much the same
way you pointed it out.

326 23 39 51 PLT-EVA Okay, wri - wiggle it.

326 23 39 5h CDR Okay, it's locking down, it looks like.

SPT-EVA Okay, it 's locking down.

CDR Just keep screwing it in, Bill.

326 23 39 59 SPT-EVA What have we got after this, Jer?

CDR What?

SPT-EVA What have we got after this?

CDR Then we got to make an electrical check of it and

see if it will roll.

SPT-EVA ...

CDR See if it'll go through its routine.

326 23 40 09 SPT-EVA Don't have anything else to install?

PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR Yes, you got a -

PLT-EVA The hardest one.

392

CDR You've got that - disable plug to put in.

SPT-EVA I remember that from training ; that is really hard.

PLT-EVA Okay, mau, it 's pins down.

SPT-EVA Okay, let 's move back here.

PLT-EVA Okay.

326 23 40 29 CDR All right, the disable plug's got to go in first.

SPT-EVA All right, okay.

CDR Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay, let's see. Where is that thing.

CDR I'm going to give you some words on that.

PLT-EVA Right here.

326 23 40 38 CDR You want to give it a shot first? Peel back the
insulation from the forward face of the structure
to expose the protective connector cap. And remove
the cap using the connector pliers.

326 23 41 07 SPT-EVA Okay, you got a good look at it?

PLT-EVA ...

SPT-EVA Say again, Bill.

PLT-EVA Oh, I thought - no, you can't see it, I guess.

SPT-EVA No, I can't.

326 23 41 28 SPT-EVA Here, let me hold you.

PLT-EVA Now then, just - if you can - if you could hold

that position, I would ...

PLT-EVA Okay, I got a visibility on the mm.

SPT-EVA Okay, why don't you try removing it by hand before

we try the real hard one. ,

SPT-EVA Got it.

326 23 42 08 PLT-EVA Got it, Ed, I got it.

 393

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Now, come on over here, and I'll give you the-
inhibit.

326 23 42 27 CDR All right, got it.

326 23 42 30 SPT-EVA Okay, now you got to look at this master key.

PLT-EVA ... - -

SPT-EVA The master key is right at the top here.

CDR It says align the match marks on the disable plug

and then install the plug and rotate barrel clock-
wise to lock.

SPT-EVA Okay. You may want to look it over, Bill, but

the way I always worked those things is those
many visible alignment marks Just won't do it for
you. You Just line master key ... up.

326 23 43 26 SPT-EVA Your turn to be frustrated, Bill.

PLT-EVA I know. This is going to be -

SPT-EVA I'm going to pin some of that insulation out of the

way? That cap's getting in your way.

326 23 &3 49 PLT-EVA Cap's in the ws_v.

SPT-EVA I tell you what_ let me give you a piece of tape

and you Just tape it out of the way.

326 23 43 57 PLT-EVA Great.

SPT-EVA I'll try some gray tape. See if that works any
better. No, I'm afraid our friendly gray tape
is frozen solid.

PLT-EVA (Laughter)

326 23 _4 07 SPT-EVA Ah, gee. It's frozen. °

PLT-EVA Can you give me the screwdriver Just a minute?

SPT-EVA Ah, yes.

394

PLT-EVA I don't think I need to tether because I'ii Just

try one quick thing. If that doesn't work -

326 23 _h 23 SPT-EVA Got it?

PLT-EVA Got it.

SPT-EVA Okay.

326 23 44 40 PLT-EVA Okay, that's not going to work.

SPT-EVA Well let's see. Can you still work it on there

with that thing in there, do you think?

PLT-EVA Oh, yes, I can still do it.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Tell you what, if - well -

SPT-EVA Let me put this screwdriver back in here. I hope

with out losing it.

PLT-EVA Yes - - -_

326 23 45 24 CDR Watch that heel, Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay, now - -

PLT-EVA What I want to do is raise my foot up and put

it on the ***

SPT-EVA Just a minute, Just a minute. Don't touch your -

you're - you're getting in the - in the tool -
getting in the tools. I'll gladly - Okay. Now
extend it forward a little bit where I can get a
hold of it. No, not that far forward. Okay, now.
Okay, there you go.

326 23 h5 49 PLT-EVA Okay. Now - okay. Now I need to go further than

that beam there.

SPT-EVA Which - down which way? 6

PLT-EVA Toward the toe ; toward the toe.

326 23 46 01 SPT-EVA Okay, you got your PCU in there. Watch it.
 395

326 23 46 0_ PLT-EVA Okay. I'm going to try to ease my foot over there
in the SOP against the - ... now I moved aw_
from the mol sieve vent.

SPT-EVA I - hold you over there.

PLT-EVA Now, I need to come down to -

326 23 46 28 SPT-EVA Well, you're going to have to be on the other -

aSl on the other side then, Bill ....

PLT-EVA Okay. Okay. It was an idea.

SPT-EVA You think you could get at it the other way, with
your feet up in the other - completely up in the
other direction? Maybe with your legs around that
mol sieve vent or your feet straddling underneath
it.

SPT-EVA I'm thinking you can get your legs under there
somehow.

CDR Easy on your suit there.

z-- 326 23 47 43 SPT-EVA Well, there's little pieces of stuff - just go ...
Let me go ...

PLT-EVA Okay, that 's good.

SPT-EVA Okay. Here, I'll - I'll send it down in your

direction. There you go.

SPT-EVA N** going to come out of this shoe here a little

bit. Hold your head.

SPT-EVA Do you have an alignment mark there? On the

structure?

PLT-EVA 0h, no. •

326 23 48 28 SPT-EVA They had that. Oh, that white is Just to ma1_e sure.

PLT-EVA No, no, no.

SPT-EVA Yes, your feet shifted. Get your left leg up

around the heel.

PLT-EVA Yes.

326 23 49 34 SPT-EVA Move your heel around there. There you go.
I'll hold your head again.

SPT-EVA Take your time, Bill, because all that requires

is Just a precise alignment.

PLT-EVA Yes, and now I - I tore all the insulation off to

give me visibility from the other side. Now I'm
over here.

326 23 50 08 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Hawaii for 3

minutes. Over.

CDR Roger, Bruce. We pinned the pitch axis and they're

at the moment trying to get the disable plug -_
installed.

CC That sounds beautiful, thank you.

SPT-EVA ... in sight there.

PLT-EVA Yes, I got the ...

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA You got the tether on my right arm. So I got

to -

SPT-EVA Well, look, we can switch that. Let's do that.

If you don't get lined up properly, you'll never
get it in there.

Towards me.

PLT-EVA Wait a minute, wait a minute.

: SPT-EVA It's not hooked. It's not hooked, Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA It's got to go towards the spacecraft. The top

goes towards the spacecraft.

PLT-EVA All righty.

326 23 52 02 CC *** this is Houston; 1 minute to LOS. Next

station contact 25 minutes through the Van@?,_d,

SPT-EVA Yes, you Just had the top cocked towards me.
398

PLT-EVA If I can-

have to line up - you have to line up with -

SPT-EVA Nov -nov, see if that one side -

PLT-EVA Yes.

SFT-EVA That's good.

PLT-EVA Okay, I'll try it again. Trouble is this mol

sieve vent is ... it hurt ... it under.

326 23 59 05 SPT-EVA Okay. Where's your tether, Bill? Oh, watch

yourself.

SPT-EVA No, don't unclip it, don't unclip it. Just

SPT-EVA Hold on. Hold on. I'll get it for you. I

better not move that. That tape is - -

CDR Hey, first of all, you've got to inspect the launch --.
lock for damage. Remember? They want it checked
for cracks - for pyro cracks?

SPT-EVA Oh, yes.

CDR So look at that. If it's cracked, then they Just

want you to tape it up out of the way, or tie it
up out of the way.

PLT-EVA *** all right except for little smudges.

SPT-EVA Now Just a minute. Okay, let go, Bill.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Don't yank it, Bill.

SPT-EVA Now, all we got to do is wrap these Velcro things

327 GO 05 56 SPT-EVA I think that what I'm trying to do - Gosh darn it'
I've lost the Velcro strap. Okay, we'll - let
me start from scratch here. Take it slow.

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA And one more.

"-- PLT-EVA I need to check this switch; I had my hand on this

Let 's get another one.

CDR Okay, Ed, when you get it wound up, Just head
back to the FAS.

SPT-EVA Okay. Bill - Bill will follow, huh?

CDR Yes, Bill will be along with the foot restraint.

327 00 07 19 SPT-EVA All right.

CDR Oh, how neat and tidy you are.

SPT-EVA Well, I don't want this thing flying open on the

back, Jer. I won't be able to devote much at-

SPT-EVA Now watch me drop the whole frapping hag.

CDR You got it tethered?

SPT-EVA No, not yet, because I don't have a tether.

CDR You don't have a tether?

SPT-EVA My tether is left out here.

CDR Well, Bill - -

SPT-EVA Tell you what, Bill.

CDR - - Bill, give him that tether on your left arm.

You got two tethers left on the foot restraint.
How does that sound?

SPT-EVA Can you put - you put it on there for me? Because
I'mholdingon to the bag. _

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Thank you. Now.

327 00 08 56 CDR Okay, Ed, go on home.

SPT-EVA Bug out, huh?

CDR Right.

327 00 09 01 SPT-EVA Okay, Bill, I'm heading up over the top of you.

CDR Just follow your umbilical; it'll take you home.

Don't mess up the feed horn after all that work.

SPT-EVA Boy, I'll say. That would really rip it.

CDR Okay, Bill, you ought to probably tether that

thing to your left wrist before you take that out.

PLT-EVA I agree wholeheartedly.

 _07

SPT-EVA The only place where there's any insulation missing

is the side that's facing the spacecraft.

CDR Yes.

327 00 l0 19 SPT-EVA Let me take a look at this umbilical mess over

here. Tell you what; we also want to bring in
some wrist tethers which we left up here. I -
Oh, boy.

CDR That foot restraint sure worked out well, didn't

it , Bill?

PLT-EVA Sure did. Beautiful.

CDR If Just that - if that pin had only had a better

ball peen on it.

CDR It looks like you're pulling it towards you

while you're trying to pull it out, and that's
what's doing it to you. Thataway. There you go.
See you on the other side, Bill.

_ PLT-EVAOkay.

327 00 ll 32 SPT-EVA I'll try to get these umbilicals squared away

in here, Bill.

PLT-EVA Oh, okay; that's all the working I'm going to be

doing.

SPT-EVA If I can get this -

CDR Watch out for the feed horn.

SPT-EVA There's T025; that darn thing.

CDR Doggone. That's a shame that didn't work.

SPT-EVA Sure is.

327 00 12 38 CDR Okay, Bill, as you go by and get ready to ingress,

take a look at 228 and make sure it is still
perpendicular to the clipboard.

PLT-EVA Yes. I've checked it, but it wouldn't hurt to

check it again Because those umbilicals can sure
do it to you.

j_
_08

CDR Did you get all those wrist tethers you wanted in, Ed?

SPT-EVA Yes, I believe so.

CDR Okay.

327 O0 13 37 SPT-EVA There he is. How long was it, Jer?

CDR Well, let's see. You're looking at 6-1/2 hours.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Right now. You still got a few more things to do.

SPT-EVA Okay. What have we got to do?

CDR Okay. Is Bill in now ...?

327 00 14 01 PLT-EVA No, not quite. I was going to check the 228.

CDR Okay, t_ke a look at i_.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR All right, now before you get in, Bill, take a good
look at the EVA hatch - seals and see what condition
they're in. And look at the hatch dogs and make
sllre they're retracted.

PLT-EVA Okay. It has one little particle on it which I'm

going to brush off. Looks like just some ordinary,
garden variety crud. Like some lubricant seal.
Okay.

CDR All right. Take a look around the area and make
sure that everything's in that ought to be in;
all the trees - See, all you've got is VC tree,

327 00 17 49 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Vanguard. We will

be dumping the data/voice tape recorder here. We'll
be with you for 9-1/2 minutes.

CDR Okay, Bruce; we're all finished. They're in the

lock and we've started to pressurize.

CC Mighty fine. That's very good news to hear. We

infer - fer from that the roll checks out good on

SPT Okay. What's your tolerance here, Jer? It's

coming slowly because we're here.

CDR All right. It says after 2 minutes, your press

lock indicator should reach about 0.2.

SPT Yes, that's about it; we've been in here - Well,

if you started timing, you add 30 seconds to that.

CDR Okay.

SPT And it's 0.25 now, so it's GO.

to check here. All right. I guess I can open the
hatch.

327 00 22 16 SPT Think it's h.5, Jer.

CDR Okay.

SPT That's the - the VC tree you're hanging up on.

CDR Okay. Bill, you'll have to remove that.

SPT Okay. Go ahead. Watch out for the VS. Here let
me get the VC back.

CDR There we go.

SPT We're done. We don't have much moisture in here

but every - every little bit of it is finding its
way onto those foot restraints. Look at that thing.

SPT Go ahead; he's listening.

CC Roger, Bill. On the T025 apparatus, for the time

being, we'd like you not to disassemble it. There
will be more word for you later on this evening.
We'll probably try and keep it in one piece until
tomorrow morning and then work on it.

327 00 24 08 PLT Okay, Bruce. Are you getting it out of the .way,
Ed?

SPT Yes, you're okay. You Just cleared - go ahead.

327 00 24 18 PLT Okay.

SPT Bill is up there now - -

PLT I mm in the - I've got the release handle down.

327 00 25 06 CDR Okay. Start equalizing your pressure.

327 00 25 07 PLT Okay. We're equalizing.

SPT Yes, we're coming up slow, Bill. We're at _.7 now.

We still have the d,_T maneuver inhibited for
this night pass. We'll enable d1,wT again over
 Hawaii and start the procedure of getting back
to the normal momentum state. Probably take
several orbits.

CDR Okay, fine.

SPT We're reading 5.

CDR Yes, they're all 5 across. Just open her wide,

Bill.

SPT Yes, why don't you open her up, Bill?

PLT That's the smallest delta-P; we won't be able to

crack it.

327 00 27 _3 CDR Okay, then Just move on your donning station and

here from SL-3. When I arrived, there was about
one third of a vial left. After using it for the
first three sessions, I have had one quarter of
a vial left. I'm not sure what the breakdown is
in usage between the initial filling and the new
subsequent one. I'll try and keep a closer eye
on that. I think we can probably melt it _long
though, to get out what you need. I'll try and
make a more precise measurement of the exact
length of travel of the plunger in refillings
which connects the - the subsequent half. So I'll
try and stick with one half as far as I can and
not refill another until it's really required.

The question was asked of me, late the day before
yesterday, for the data on calf measurement of
blood pressure measurement done on mission day 3.
I've done as much research as I can through the
Activation Checklist and through our Command
Module System Checklist, and as best I can tell
that data was recorded down on all three crewman
at 02:30 Zulu on that day. I checked in the
records that we have up here and I have full
data on myself and blood pressure data on the SPT,
and I'll - and that will follow.
i

327 19 27 07 CDR Okay, for mission day 3, I have no data for the
PLT. For the CDR, left arm blood pressure, 120
over 64; left leg blood pressure, 150 over 88.
422

Left calf was 13-1/8; right calf was 14-1/h.

For the SPT, left arm blood pressure was 140 over
78; left leg blood pressure, 170 over 92, and no
data on girth measurement. As I remember, that
particular day was a very confUsed day. We were
very, very far behind the time line and I have
a hunch that this is the only data that was even
gathered.

327 19 48 15 PLT This is the PLT, in reference to questions on

the T025 problem, I will take the questions in
turn. The following questions are asked in re-
ference to Nikon 01 with the T025 EVA viewfinder.
One: Is the viewfinder head loose with a gap
between the head and camera body greater than
about a checklist page thickness? The answer is
yes. On the - facing the back of the camera, and
looking into the viewfinder, it takes two standard
pages out of the body of the Activation Checklist.
I took 2 pages of Just that size in the rear of
the vlewfinder and almost three pages or ... on
the front side. When I originally installed the
viewfinder on the camera, it was difficult to
engage and yet when it was - when it finally
clicked, it didn't really give a satisfying
positive sound of engagement action, after that,
it w - it wiggled a lot; was loose. Question
number 2: Does the shutter speed knob extend un-
iformly into the cap, on the extension, approx-
imately one eighth of an inch? No. By measure-
ment, using the tape measurement we used for the
anthropomorphic measurement, it extended in ap-
proximately 1-3/h millimeters. If you want a
better gage, if you will look at most Nikons,
that shutter speed knob has a ribbed section on
part of it and a ribbed section on the little
creased part which gives you the finger grip
control is additionally more or less scored about
halfway in between the - the length of the rib,
which is about a little less than 2 millimeters.
It extended into the tube Just about that dis-
tance, Just about half of that little ribbed
distance.

327 19 50 19 PLT Question number 3: With the viewfinder off, does

the camera shutter speed adjust knob freewheel?
Answer, no. Additionally, after we got the
camera back in it, and I was going to show the CDR,
last night, what the problem was. The thing worked
Just fine, which indicated to us that we may have
had a thermal problem because it was actually
spinning free. I would Just slip it on my finger
and it would spin free while we were EVA. Question
number 4: Is the spring clip inside the shutter
speed extension knob cap bent near the retaining
screw so that the grooved end is about half way
between the top and bottom of the cap? The answer
is, yes. It appears to be properly configured.

327 19 51 05 PLT Question 5: Is the viewfinder screen all the way

in the camera, below the level of the two holding
latches? The answer is, most probably, yes.
The problem in answering that question is this
particular - and - and I think - I think it
was well seated. Also, it was level enough so
that when I put the viewfinder head on, it would
have put it in position because I held the knob
down, the installation knob, release knob down,
__ while I was trying to wiggle the viewfinder in
position, so I am confident in giving a yes to
that, although there is a remote possibility
that there is some binding. However, I was
thinking, repeated installations which I have
performed that I would have gotten the - the
screen to actually seat on the little catches.
So I believe the answer to nlrmher 5 is yes.

TIME SKIP

328 19 53 43 PLT PLT reporting a Jammed transporter number 6. I

had to take the transporter apart. The film had
Jammed it inside the transporter. Also, I'd like
to comment on the efficacy of the film vault in-
sofar as re - restraining or retaining or holding
the items that are placed into them. There are a
couple of - I can pick out three of what I con-
sider to be major design errors on the design
of the film vault. One is that there's a total
lack of engineering in mass harmony between the
b_1_y, heavy, massive doors and the tiny useless
dial latch that's used to hold them closed.

s 328 19 5_ 27 PLT The dial latch is continaully coming loose. You

can slam the left side of the film vault and the
right side will come open, which is a hazard to
the film. So the two dial latches were a very,
very poor choice insofar as a latch for holding
the doors closed and Jeopardize the storage of
the film. One of them is broken - the one on
the right side is broken and it's been taped in
repair. And this is the one that continually
flies open when you close the left side. Un-
less you notice it, you can walk off and leave
the right film door ajar. It had been seen to
swing open as far as a foot and a half.

CREW Bill, there 's a ***

328 19 55 08 PLT By the way, during activation that door was

found open, so the f_Im that was in drawers G
through L may have been exposed to considerable
radiation. And as I say, this is due to a -
what I consider to be an inexcusable design
error in using the dlal latc_ to hold those doors
closed. Also, there is no - nothing between the
drawers. There's no protection between the
drawers and items. The drawers are very, very
430 _

poorly designed in holding items that are - that

tend to be placed in it. The Teflon is useless;
it slides out of position. It does not hold a
position. The Teflon holders for the film hold
the film in, but they don't stay in the drawers. '
They float free. They're continually getting in i
the way. And items that float free from one
drawer will float up when you open the drawer
above it. They'll float up inside in space, and
when you get ready to close the drawer, you'll
slam it into the item that has floated in behind.
I have Ja-,_ed - hit the S019 film canisters twice
doing this, because they have floated out of po-
sition. And the re - retainer for one, and the
one I brought up for - there was no retainer for
it, and it's floated up and out of position.
And I'm going to try to jury-rig some restrained
item.

328 19 56 29 PLT So the drawers themselves have - the restraining

capability is almost nonexistent. The - all
of the cameras are loose, floating around -
Jiggling all around. And the Velcro straps are
useless because there is - A single Velero strap
is very minimal insofar as its ability to retain
the - a single camera that has a lens attached.
There was Just very, very little thought given
to design use for camera equipment. That,
together with the fact that there's no spacer in
between the drawers, has made the film vault a
very difficult item to use and it's Just caused
a continual waste of time in restowing items and
retaining items. And also, you really bent me on
the stowage on the one drawer where I - where
we brought up - all of the film - the - for the
Polaroid camera. That drawer is jam packed and
there's nothing to restrain any of the items.
And every time that drawer is opened, about 50
Jillion items come floating out of there. As -
again, there's Just - the item as a film vault
in one g may have worked, but if - there was very
little design expertise at least incorporated
into the design of this as a zero-g film vault.

328 19 57 51 PLT Comment on the cabinets in which our tools are

kept. The same criticism applies to the tool
drawers. There's no spacer between the tool
drawers. And tools - of course, with the Mosite
cutouts - again has - There was very little horse
 43l

sense used in designing them. The very small

items which require a large percentage of the
total surface - the items in friction with the
Mosite - continually, because of the cutouts
have little surface in contact with the Mosite_
they tend to - to float out of position. Con-
versely, large items, like a crescent wrench,
have almost a 100 percent on the outside peri-
meter area in contact with the Mosite and they're
too hard to pull out. So - but anyway, the
same problem exists in the film drawer in that
seal i items tend to float free and get in the
way of drawers above, and when a drawer is pulled
out, and then when you get ready to close it,
it won't close. So I need to be - there needs
to be spacers between the drawers in stowage
areas.

328 19 58 59 PLT One other thing I've thought about on the film
vault and that is a high degree of chatter fric-
tion, I would call it, in closing the drawers.
The drawers are very difficult to move and this
causes a chattering as you close and open the
drawers, mainly on closing. But this tends to
_- upset and Jiggle and rough up the items that are
contained in that drawer.

328 19 59 23 PLT And it's very irritating and time cons_ing Just
to open a drawer in the film vault in order to
not only damage the contents but to avoid spill-
ing them out into zero g.

really f_m_ liar with - with locating everything.

329 04 50 16 CDR And I think body positioning was also a time

consumer. Getting to where you wanted to go and
then anchoring yourself, and then getting what
you needed and learning to cope with your new
environment Just takes a great deal of time. I
think you could probably tell from our voices
that we were very, very frustrated, and becoming
very irritated, out about day 5 or so. Because
we Just for - no matter how hard we tried, and
how tired we got, we Just couldn't catch up with
the Flight Plan. And it was a very, very demora-
lizing thing to have happen to us.

329 04 50 54 CDR Now as it stands right now, _e've finished day 9,

we've got our household pretty well set up, and I
 think we're pretty well organized now. But I think
we'still have a good possibility of getting behind
again. I'd like the FAOs to keep this in mind,
if they would, during all of their flight planning,
because I think it's paramount that we be able to
stay _p with the schedule, get our work done, amd
have a little bit of time to spare. Because I •
think, if we have that kind of time line, that we'll
be able to get our work done without mistakes.

CDR I think - as I look back over the last week,

there were very, very many mistakes made by us.
There were very many dumb questions asked. And it
was because we were in a hurry, and we didn't have
time to properly research anything. We'd take a
couple of wild stabs at trying to find something
or do something, and then because of a lack of
time, we Just had to flat give up and ask for help.

329 O_ 52 O0 CDR And, as I said before, this is very demoralizing

for the crew. And I'm sure the ground wasn't too
much impressed with our performance, as far as
activation was concerned.

"_ B29 05 09 23 SPT SPT at 17:09. Subject of general interest to the

M131 folks. The feeling of orientation persists,
which I mentioned once before. And that is, if
you're in the one-g orientation in any of the
structures where we're working in, especially in the
OWS and in the command module, everything seems
pretty familiar, and you can orient yourself here
in the Skylab itself, as opposed to the trainer.
However, if you spend any deal of time at all in
a different body orientation - sideways, upside
down - especially in one of the rooms in the ex-
periment compartment or the wardroom, you find
that it is not as familiar to you as - as it is
in the other.

329 05 l0 22 SPT There's quite a noticeable difference. And then when

you start rotating back to the one-g attitude,
Just all of a sudden the location around, oh, 15
to 30 degrees or so, your mind all of a sudden
says "Yes, that's familiar; I've seen that before."
And it Just sort of clicks. There's nothing, in
any way, disturbing about it. It's Just kind of
an interesting phenomenon, I Just notice that
there is a sharp transition in m_ mind when I do
approach the one-g orientation after being in
hh2

some other orientation for a good period of time,

maybe for a minute or so.

329 05 16 58 PLT PLT reporting on configuration of the film vault

and installation of batteries in the cameras.
Thus far, I've installed two fresh motor-drive
batteries in the Hasselblad on day 254. I put
a motor-drive battery - new one in - on Nikon 01
on day 254, installed a battery in the photomic
head flash, that is, the - the flash used on day
254. Today, I installed a battery in the S063
sight, put the PTL batteries in the head, present-
ly installed on Nikon 3 and Nikon 5. Presently,
there is a cap missing off of the - I didn't in-
stall any of these batteries on Nikon 4 because
that's a new - new unit. And I'm - I lost the
small screwing cap on it. It - it suddenly ap-
peared today off of the spare head that was in
drawer G. And I stowed it but then it drifted
away. I'll find it, probably tomorrow, and put
fresh batteries in that head. Now that should
complete the installation of batteries for now,
except for the - the spotmeter which I have not
replinished the batteries in yet.

329 05 17 44 PLT Also, I have taken the batteries - all the bat-
teries that I have, and put them - put them in
a single bag, and put them in the S063 compart-
ment. Battery - Drawer, rather - drawer - G now
has been modified to hold Nikon cameras, and I
intend to put all the Nikon cameras in that drawer
unless you feel that there's too much radiation
in there. And I can't see why, as fast as we're
cycling through the film. But by taking the bat-
teries out of there, I got enough room in drawer
G, so that I can put the Nikons there, and have a
single drawer modified so it does not knock the
cameras about like they're i'n drawers. I have a
method of restraining the cameras.

the old one. As well as I could see with my - with
the naked eye, the apparent reflectivity of the
new mirror was not any different than that of
the old mirror. In the area of deposits and
scratches, it appeared to me that the new mirror
had more dust on it than the old mirror. The
new mirror also had no scratches. But it had
three faint white streaks - very, very narrow
streaks. _lmost look like - oh, white - very,
very thin white ink or something like that.

329 17 5B 52 CDR These scratches were near the edge - correction,

not scratches but white streaks were near the
edge. And I added one smudge myself, while

the container put the gloves on the bottom

329 19 28 48 PLT Okay, PLT here, commenting on the tape reading -

the alignment of the thermal detector, S192. A
comment on the Procedure on page 10-lB. First,
after having to ... as the focus adjust, pull-
ing toward the micrometers and then turning it
away from the micrometers, I was able to get a
peak of about 41 percent. I haven't read the
mic[rometer]s yet, but I don't th_nk that really
material - I don't think it'll help any.

329 19 29 26 PLT The peculiarity is that when I reverse the direc-

tion - even after going all the way to stop the
other way, that is, fully away from the microm-
eters, I can never get a peak going back toward
the micrometers. I can only get a peak going
away from the micrometers. I can get a peak, but
it's well, well below the - the peak I would get
by adjusting the focus knob in a direction away
from the micrometers. So it's not working as
advertised, as none of the 192 equipment appar-
ently does. I've wasted an awful lot of time on
a piece of equipment which has caused us nothing
but trouble. And unless you have some more
advice, we'll leave it on 41 percent.

I think the exercise that I Just completed with
the S019 is a classic example of not enough time
allowed before the experiment is to be done to
allow a good familiarization with what it is
you're going to do. I picked up S019 from the
PLT because he was running behind, and I think
it would have been a lot better had - It would
have been a lot less rushed had we allowed a
little bit more time at the beginning in order to
set things up.

329 19 _9 40 CDR I would suggest, at least on the first running of

each of these exercises - each of the experiments,
for instance, S18B, SOl9 - for each m_n, that you
ought to allow at least another 15 minutes on
ahead of the first operator execute time on the
experiment in order to give the - the operator
a chance to really think out what he's going to
do and get a little bit more fam_ liar with the

had an early termination at 06 - 05 minutes re-

M092 run today. These should go to Jerry Hordinsky
and the M092 PIs. I think I was able to tolerate
this run much better today than I did the previous
run, primarily for - due to the fact that this
morning I had much more - much more rest before
the run. Extremely tired in the first run; this
run I felt reasonable. And secondly, I tried to
keep the fluid level up very high for this run.
I had m_, 9111 amount of the salt before the run.
for the day, which is ll.5 cc's, plus 32 ounces
of water. And I think that that made a significant
difference. I'll be trying this out in the future
runs - future runs, see if ... fluid like this
before a run will help. If so, it looks like we
might have at least a way of helping us for the
reentry and subsequent before the ... return.

ran into this - all the difficulty with the
S190 film, I stopped S190 because I thought there
would be no purpose in having to put in a film load
in the middle of a checkout unless there was film
being used in the checkout. So I stopped 190 oper-
ations. And then when I got to looking back at it,
I saw that someone had slipped a ringer in and put
a film load right in the middle of a checkout, which
I thought was a pretty stupid thing to do. But
anyway, this is why I didn't go ahead and do the

330 04 Ol 28 CDR This is the CDR at 04:00 Zulu. The subject is

hamdheld photography. At. 03:56, I took a Nikon
picture from the wardroom window on magazine
number CXI9 on day 330. The first frame, which was
number 17, was Nagoya Harbor. And that was more
of a gee-whiz picture than anything else. I was
interested in the harbor, a Japanese harbor, and
the fact that it was so clear this day, I thought
there might be an interesting bit of Just gee-whiz
information in this picture.

330 Oh 02 08 CDR The next frame was taken at 03:58. It was

_-- frame number 18. The subjectwas a large band of -
of clouds. It was - it was rather - much of a swirl
that ended up right over Tokyo Harbor and extended
southwest - southeasterly out into the sea for
probably 150 miles or so.

330 04 02 34 CDR It was great, wide band with an eddy at the end of
it, and the eddy was right over Tokyo Harbor.

330 04 i0 53 PLT This is PLT regarding the questions on 193. What

is the condition of the S193 insulation in general
and specifically in the areas around the gimbals
and on the back of the antenna? Specifically, in
the areas around the gimbsls and on the back of the
antenna, the insulation is in - virtually in tact.
Possibly a few small pieces of instklation flew off,
but there were - there were small stripped spaces
here and there. But there - there are no gaps or
holes in the insulation on the back of the anteD_na.
The antenna is in very good shape, the back of it.
And the gimbals, although I R,,11ed the insulation
away - sprsmg it away to look for contamination,
the material sprung back, and there was no insulation
stripped away from the gimbals, except am odd sort
of strip or a piece that happened to have been
108

pasted on that flew off. And - in other words, it

is fully covered.

330 02 ll 52 PLT The worst part of the ripping away of the insulation
occurred where the J,_er box was installed. It
was - but it was subsequently covered with the
thermal blanket. The other area was where the
shorting plug was installed. And this is the only
area that is still naked, where it was originally
covered with insulation.

330 02 12 17 PLT And there's an area about 6-inch square around the
shorting plug itself which is not covered by
insulation. And that is on the flat surface which
•contains the Jumper - excuse me - the shorting plug
connector. Describe the deb - de - debris reported
floating in the area of S193, color and size of
pieces. Do you think it came from the S193 thermal
blanket or from another source? Was an additional
quantity noted after operations were completed?

PLT First question: The debris was these small pieces

of al1_num-coated Mylar or whatever that insulation
is, and there probably were on the order of 25 to
50 pieces of that floating around at one time and
maybe more. But it very quickly dispersed the
area due to the output of the gas in the PCUs. And
I do think it came from the thermal blanket. That's
affirmative on that.

330 Oh 13 25 PLT And let's see. Was an additional quantity noted

after operations were completed? The answer to
that is no new pieces, if that's what you mean.
Now we looked around after we got - we were coming
back. We could see the sparklies, and later on
that evening looking out the wardroom window we
could see these small pieces reflecting light for
quite a period of time. It looked like we had our
own sort of star field.

PLT Describe the location of the debris seen in the

pitch pot. Was it near the minus l0 end? Was
it visible between the fiberglass pot cover and
the pot structure? Okay, the way I described it
before, if your head is in the position which we
used in training, the people 'who watched us train
for this will know what I mean, you - you have the -
you' re looking - facing the back of the antenna with
the pitch pot gimbal wiper arm on the left. Then
 459

you reach up with your le_ hand and peel the in-
sulation off to the left or move the fiberglass
coverup slightly to the left. And you can move
your head to the right and peek in, and you can
see along the path of the wiper arm. The debris
was noted at the far end as if - if - if you look
at this from the perspective I'm describing.

3B0 0_ 14 52 PLT And there was - Jammed up in the upper end of it

there was a smal] piece of insulation. It looked
like insulation. It may have been nothing. It may
have - it may have been a part of the wiper arm
structure. But it was a shiny piece which I was
able to see with a flashlight during the nightside
of the pass, 2- to 3-centimeters square, and it
was packed toward the end of that wiper arm.

330 04 15 lh PLT And I had no tool available which was suitable for
getting that out without doing a lot of structural
damsge.

PLT A tool which I thought would be satisfactory would

be something about the - half the size of the
spatula with an icepick-type point on it; in other
s words, a narrow point which I could reach in and
stab and pluck out the piece as you would pluck
out a splinter out of your skin.

PLT I don't think tweezers are a satisfactory tool to

use EVA because of the lack of dexterity with EVA
gloves. And I think the - a screwdriver is a too
crude of an instrument to use in there around
that - that pot wiper arm. And the only tool I
think is satisfactory is one I've described as
something that's fairly pointed, narrow, flexible,
and one that you could use to get in there and
sort of stick the al,,,inum and pluck it out.

330 Oh 16 24 PLT Okay, that ends my co_nents on the 193 questions.

tasks scheduled right up to, oh, about 5 or lO
minutes before - 15 minutes I guess actually,
looking at the pad, 15 minutes before. But these
other tasks, I exceeded my time on the other tasks,
so this Dut me right UP to the Dad time on S019,
464

and I was rushed. I had very little time to di-

gest it, and this is, I think, how you're getting
bad data. I really apologize for it but I don't -
I don't feel it was my fault. I think it's a
problem in flight planning.

have - you come right to the experiment at the
time that's called out on the pad. Although there
was a period of time here prior to observations,
there was _mmediate activity in doing the reference
stars. So there was really no time for mental
reflection and trying to look and see what it was
you're trying to do.

330 17 45 24 PLT The time is 17:45, completion of the CDR's M131

MS run.

PLT The run was interrupted at 65 head movements

because of the subject's foot sliding off the
footrest. I reinitiated and had my manual tally
Emning so he went ahead and did 100 head movements.
But that's why the run will be terminated in the

330 17 46 00 PLT No - Subject had no symptoms other than the -

more or less reaction to rotation end the

feeling that he was sort of being flung - slung

330 17 h6 16 PLT _Run was normal other than that.

CDR This is ***

3B0 17 h7 09 CDR This is the CDR. 131-1, motion sensitivity. I

was the subject. I noticed much more accentuated
sensations, or cues - sensory cues during the
head movements themselves. As I progressed, I
got up to around 80 to 100 head movements. I
began to get the feeling, while sitting in the
motionless state between head movements, that I
was on a - a sw1/ash plate or a tilt plate. And
that is, I was rotating around the vertical axis,
but bobbing in pitch and yaw at the same time,
sort of in a wobble mode, much like the wobble
mode when you spin a milk bottle or something
like that. However, the long axis was up. The
reason why the system stopped at 65 head move-
ments is that m_ foot slipped off of the - of
the foot restraint. And when - As I was bringing
it back on, I hit the end of the foot restraint
in a tangential direction, and apparently the
system is designed to shut down if any force
is felt in that direction, indicating that it's
hit something.

330 17 h8 33 CDR So that's why it shut down. After the - the

rotation had stopped and I was Just sitting
quietly in the chair, I had a very definite sen-
sation of 90-degree pitch-down disorientation.
I felt very much the same as I have on a steep
g_n_ery or bombing run in an airplane at a very
steep dive angle and diving toward the ground.
And when I took off the - the - the goggles is
when I got _mmediate reorientation to the right
attitude. I'll tell you, 30 rpm in zero g is
the kind of a ride you ought to sell tickets for.

showed only from Florida northward. However,
in subsequent looking, I see that the cloud
streets extend all the way down across Florida
and off the coastline. They're very linear,
Just a very slight arc to them and extend pri-
marily north/south. Exceptionally well defined
and well formed and cover over the whole state
of Florida and about an equal distance up north

330 18 05 44 CDR This is the CDR at 18:05 Zulu. The subject is

food reeonstitution and water usage. This is
s for the food people. I'd like to assure the
food people that we are not trying to give them
a snow Job on the food situation. We are merely
trying to avoid a lot of nit-picky, little logging
exercises on half ounces of water and i ounces
[sic] of water at a time. And by ma_ng a
general statement, we are - we have got what we
think is a pretty honest assessment of the water
being used to rehydrate our foods. Now when we
had the water problem early in the mission, we
- we made the remark that we were getting as
much as i ounce of - of air into the drink bags
and about a half ounce into the food. But we were
logging that and compensating for that in our log.
A couple of days later, the water sit - the water
bubble situation improved to the point where we
said the average daily reconstitution problem
was about one half ounce of water per drink.
And I said that from that time on we would say,
"No rehydratable water problems," and the ground
would assume that there was _ loss or a minus
of one half ounce of water per drink. Now
since we have switched to the new tan_, that
situation stayed with us for a while. And last
night, we felt that we were finally in a position
470

to where we could honestly say that there is no

need any further to subtract one half ounce of
w_ber per drink. That is as of last night. Now
we will continue to go in this mode, and we will
keep the ground honestly appraised as to what
the rehydratable water situation is in order to
avoid a lot of little niggling logging problems.

I looked at it about 5 minutes later.

330 20 17 04 SPT I went to LAMP TEST ... and got a BERYLLIUM COUNT
that remained at 0040. I cycled COUNTER 2 to other
positions, which all read four 8's. That's 8888.
I then went back to BERYLLIUM COUNT, and it also
read 8888. I went LAMP TEST, OFF; BERYLLIUM COUNT
remained reading 8888. I then moved the BERYLLIUM
COUNT switch out - or the COUNTER 2 switch out of
_k_YLLIUM COUNT position - and it read nominally
on the other displays. Coming back to BERYLLIUM
COUNT, I read plus 0040. If I cycle it to PHIy

472

which is now reading 357.7, and then back to

BERYLLIUM COUNT, it will also stay at 357.7. The
BERYLLIUM COUNT seems to pick up the last value
on that display. In other words, if I switch to
PHIy and back, I read that on BERYLLIUM COUNT.

330 20 18 27 SPT I have a DAS readout of minus 0001; I'll switch

rapidly switch back to BERYLLIUM COUNT, the count
remains at plus 1639. If I switch to PHI-dot-X,
it's now reading minus - well, it's oscillating
around. When I switch, it's reading minus 10; I
get the BERYLLIUM COUNT, and it reads plus 10.

330 20 49 49 SPY SPY at 20:50. The subject is the checkout of the

XUV SLIT. And looking at the white light display,
it appears as though there is awful lot of Just
plain electrical noise in the signal going to
the display. However, MONITOR i, which has been
replaced, appears to give a better image than
MONITOR 2. Perhaps it's Just because the white
is a whiter and the dark is a _a_ker, so I get a
greater contrast. I can see no solar features
whatsoever in the position I am right now, which
is Sun center; strictly a white display with the
fiducial marks. Fiducial marks appear reasonably
well defined, if you believe that the ends of
these fiducial marks are all rounded rather than
sqnare, which is what I was led to believe
before we lifted off.

330 20 51 07 SPY If I move the - the canister a little bit about

Sun center, the numerous small specks which are
in the field of view did not move, indicating
that they are somehow either in the optics or
in the camera system. I'm right now shooting at
a relatively low CONTRAST of 2-1/2 and a BRIGHTNESS

There's another one; a third flash. With the

is virtually useless as an indicator because it's

the light's green because you want to know whether
the equipment is working or not, and apparently
it is. The only thing is the green light as an
indication is useless, particularly for EVA.

331 15 01 28 SPT This is the SPT at 15:01 giving the results of

the ATM four-limb coalignment. I'll be reading
from page l-1 of the ATM Log. The day is 331;
time, 02:58. Upper limb: H-ALPHA 1 was plus
1028; 82B was plus 1027; 55 was plus i031.
The lower limb: 82B was minus 919; 55 was
minus 918. The left limb: H-ALPHA i, minus i000;
82B, 998; 55, minus 999. The right limb: 82B
was plus 961; 55, plus 965. The 55 mirror position
was 1032. When I gave H-ALPHA 1 MANUAL exposures
at each of the four limbs, about the first one
i took two exposures, the second one being correct.
The first alignment on the upper limb had me
coming out a little bit too far inside when I
went to the lower limb; so I went back and - to
the upper limb and changed the H-ALPHA RETICLE
so that I would be equidistant from what I inter-
preted to be the limb but which was actually a
little outside of the limb.
 485

331 15 03 27 SPT So use the second one for the upper limb and the
remaining three are good for the other limb.

H-alpha limb is now, and I should not have any
problem in the future.

I also carried out the 55 offset. And in moving
the H-ALPHA 2 RETICLE, I found that the moment we

331 15 54 37 CDR You want to come and zoom in on my feet, Bill7

CDR You'll probably have to move the camera down some

and then zoom it right in.

CDR Okay, while I'm pumping along here, Bill's going

to go over and zoom in and give you a closeup of
my feet. I have personally found that the best
socks to wear for this treaam_ll are the feet cut
out of a pair of - of half union suit, because the
cotton is a little more slippery - has less nylon
in it. Also, it's quite a bit more absorbent. As
your feet get hot and sweaty, they are inclined
to stick a little bit, I think, on the Teflon.
And if you wear the more absorbent socks, they
stay drier.

if you like to do this the lounger way, you can
reach well forward, rest your stc_ach on the seat

noticed a - a build and a fade that was northeast
about 50 arc seconds from this easternmost sunspot.

was hooked up. I'll repeat the report in the
--- event you didn't get it. That is that I completed
building block 32 as scheduled in JOP 6. Then
went on, set up in building block 24 at J0P 3
Bravo. I noticed two areas in active region 87
brightened, relative to the two sunspots about
50 arc seconds northeast of the left or wester-
eastermost sunspot - of the two large Sun sunspots.
I noticed a brightening of the plage and then it
faded - and about 1 minute later, two knots a-
long the neutral line which runs south of these
sunspots or between them - south and up between
them. This piece of plage began to brighten very
noticeably, and about that time the ground passed
up the word that NOAA had reported brightening
in active region 87. These - this - these two
knots of bright - brightening were about 40 arc
sec - seconds south of the two sunspots - south
of the eastern sunspots. I did not see any -
any noticeable brightening in XUV. I was watching
very closely for any bright spots to start, and
the beryllium aperture hung in at four and didn't
move. With about 16 minutes to go, we went into

was very clear to me, even down at the level 4.
I would suggest that in the future that I be allowed
to go to a lower level. The ones at the higher
level were Just so obvious to the - that, in my
mind, we are not making much progress by having me
do it. I certainly think it would be much more
useful for me to work at the lower level. I had
a sense of rotation, especially at the last two
levels. And the target never moved in direction
other than expected. And again, my additional
comments are: I think I ought to be going to a
lower level.

I Just finished up building block 2, and looking

The ROLL at the moment is minus 5400. And as I
stand here looking at the television picture, I
see a rather strong ray, coronal ray, emanating
out from about the 7 o'clock position on the
white light coronograph. This ray is stronger
than it was this morning when I took the picture.
The picture was taken at about 14:45 Zulu. As I
look in H-alpha 2, I don't see any feature down
there that could be causing that - although it
could be active region 90 or active region 84,
because that's Just about the location of those
active regions. I have not been able to see
active region 90, which is called out on the SAP
as being on the limb. But that strong ray is
right about where I would guess that active region
90 is located.

three handheld photos, cxIg, frames 40, 41, and
42. They were taken of a large low close to
Hawaii. The circulation pattern was very evident.
The one main dif - difference than many we've seen
before was the exceptionally extensive and thick
cloud blanket associated with one front appeared
to branch out to be at least i000 miles in thick-
ness and perhaps a little bit - about a i000 miles
long and maybe hO0 or 500 miles in width. The
second arm of it was also very well defined,
although it was not as - anywhere near as thick
or dense.

332 01 ii 46 SPT For such a large system, the amount of thunder-

storm activity coming up through the tops of
the cirrus did not look too large. And I did
not see many overshooting cloud tops. Also,
the very center of the storm was relatively
cloud-free. There was enough clouds in there
to define the circulation pattern; however, there
didn't appear to be amy really significant

Excuse me, Ed; millimeters l'm tAS_ng about, 3
to 5 millimeters, damping down to about maybe 1-1/2

got off my time because I was trying to dA-_ the
oscillation with light finger touch in between
exposures, but the thing was so responsive to inputs
that the handling of remote cable - shutter cable
was actually causing it to wiggle slightly.

332 04 03 12 PLT Okay, I think that answers the question. I was

personally disappointed with my performance. I did
not make the times. I had, at first, great diffi-
culty in pointing the camera in the right place
using the universal mount because of the lack of
flexibility in pivoting the right way. I'm not -
I'm fairly positive I had the cloud in the field

other thing entered into the picture that I was -
I became aware of afterwards. As I SCAnned the

it would over - oversaturate the camera with the

be a hiatus of about _5 seconds at one point there.
Those are my correct recollections about barium.
By the way, the cloud itself was Just Almost dead

What particular aspects of the orbital assembly
seemed well designed and arranged for living and
working in zero g? What aspects are deficient and
how? I think possibly the best aspect is the
arrangement in the OWS aft compartment. The height
is proper; it enables you to move about with some -
at least a degree of assurance of control. There's
a lot of grid floor space available for foot re-

i-\
 509

straints, although the work around the wardroom

table is difficult. It'd been better off, I
think, if they'dhave left off the - The brown
sort-of-pedestal or 1-inch-thick border, around
the food preparation table, would have been better
left off because it robs us of a lot of foot re-
straints, and the strap restraints aren't any good
anyway. So I think that probably the aft compart-
ment's pretty good.

B22 17 26 53 PLT The rest of the spacecraft is fairly poor for working
because of either volume or arrangement or lack
of foot restraints. The one thing that is
lacked throughout the spacecraft is the provision
of temporary stowage restraint of equipment. You
find yourself trying to manage a half dozen pieces
of equil_ent and at a given location or work
location, say at the - Mainly, I'm concerned about -
right now about the film vault, but it equally
applies when you're setting up, say, a 18B, SO19
Earth terrain camera or anything in one of the
SALs. You find yourself with pieces of paper,
hardware, trying to read checklists and having
to - or cue cards. Yes, you can clip them, but
_-- there are no clips; it all has to be manually
done. The Velcro is unsuitable in many cases
because it's not in the right places and isn't
easily movable.

332 17 27 48 PLT Anyway, temporary restraints and attachments at

all work locations seems to me to be highly desir-
able. And what l'm talking about is Just a sort
of flexible, versatile volume for containing
things, like, for instance, something the size
of a temporary stowage bag with a overlapping
flap, transparent flap, on the front in which
you can Just put things temporarily, while you're
working with equipment, into. When you go get
equipment, you have to either install it or you
have to take time out - and when I say time, I
mean like on the order of 2 to 5 minutes - Just
to manage the equipment when assembling and dis-
assembling pieces of hardware. It's very time -
A lot of the time is consumed in hunting up and
getting checklists and holding on to checklists
or cue cards, putting them in the right position,
and then going and finding them after they get
loose and float free. We find ourselves wasting
an awful lot of time finding loose equip - hunting
510

and hunting for pieces of equipment that have

floated free; everything from hardware to pro-
cedare books. That's one of the problems.

332 17 29 01 PLT Another one of the problem areas in the workshop

is the abominably poor design of drawers and doors.
I just can't believe how lousy the drawer runs
are. We - we get an awful lot of chatter - friction
chatter in the film vault, and it's Just inexcus-
able. I would imagine, especially, you'd think,
in zero g it'd be better. But we thrash and
bounce and thump about our expensive cameras be-
cause the door - drawer, rather, won't close
properly. And then the door on the film vault
is Just - It seems to me to be inexcusable that
we would spend money building something like the
film vault and then put d_me-store latch on the
two film vault doors and then when we're activating
the workshop, finding one of the doors hanging open.

3B2 17 29 46 PLT Now I don't know if we Jarred the door open and -
or it had been open ever since a vibration or
something shook it loose after deactivation from
the previous mission, but anyway - Okay, that's
enough on drawers and doors on the film vault.

PLT Also, the film vault itself is very, very poorly

designed for containing items. The - They're
either too loose, too tight, can't get them out,
breaking your fingernails off trying to get a
magazine out, or there's no provision at all for
holding things. Cameras, there seems to me to
be a need for some way of putting - devising slots
or movable partitions in a drawer to allow for
varying volumes, because we have no way - I've
had to take a urine bag container, take the card-
board from it and cut it up to make partitions for
our film drawer. The straps are dull. You can use
Velcro straps, and they were in there ; but there
were not enough to handle all the equipment we
have now. But a s_mple thing like drawers and
doors has really impressed me as being very poorly
designed.

332 17 30 50 PLT Now without going into detail, the - another area
where the drawers are poorly designed is the tool
box and the tool box compartment. And this
applies also back to the f_]m vault. There are
no partitions, top and bottom, between drawers;
 511

the bottom of the drawer above serves as a par-

tition. And when it's pulled out, if any item in
the bottom - in the drawer below drifts free, it
can get in the way of the drawer above. And when
you get ready to close it, of course you don't
know this, but when you get ready to close it,
then you close it on the item. Now if it's a
non-fragile item, you have not lost anything. But
it has caused you difficulty in that you're going
to pull the drawer out, restow the item in a drawer
below, which is then re - which testifies to the
fact that we have poor - poor restraint capability.
And the Mosite is not the greatest thing since
peanut butter as far as stowing loose items.

332 17 31 42 PLT Large items have a - not -like 95, 98 percent of

friction surface holding them, and it takes about
a 100 pounds of pressure to pull them out. Small
items have about, oh, l0 percent on the surface with
friction contact with the Mosite, and they drift
free. So we've got a complete spectrum of more
or less resistance to pulling or drifting free of
items that are stowed in cutouts. We - we've got
a long way to go for makingJust simplecutouts
for an individual piece of equipment.

332 17 32 15 PLT Back to the tool drawers. They slide freely, but
they also slide out. And I've pulled them out
a couple of times. We talked about this before
when we were talking about M487. I don't like
the idea of a drawer pulling free without having
to take some action on my part. Also it'd be
nice, if the drawer pulled completely out, if you
have - if you do have a restraint device as the
drawers in the film vault do. They pull out ; you
can pull them all the way out of the container.

332 17 32 43 PLT Back to the f_Im vault for a minute; something

else Just - I Just recalled. The film vault doors
open against each other in such a manner you can
only open on.e at a time. Also, the thing has to
be opened a full 180 degrees before you can pull
the drawers free. I think that's a poor design.
I know it probably was meant that way to save
space between the two colllmns of drawers. In
other words, they did not have to - they did not
want to waste that volume in there. But in any
event, it does restrict you operationally. You
have to close one door and then the other. A
512

lot of times you're transferring things from one

side of the film vault - film stowage vault to
the other, and this causes difficulty.

332 17 33 25 PLT Back to the film vault and the trouble it's caused
with items drifting free. I have J,-,_ed drawers
into the S0!9 optical - I gues s it's the film
container - a couple of times, and it was com-
pletely inadvertent. And there was Just - I had
no idea that the thing had drifted free, but
one of those S019 magazines, is not restrained.
Anyway, I Just can't overemphasize the fact that
that film vault is Just very, very poorly designed
for restraining very delicate pieces of equipment.

332 17 34 01 PLT Now the closing of the doors on our lockers in the
wardroom, the wardroom and the sleep compartment
type and the tool container type drawers. Now
these are the lockers that have the 700 numbers
on them and the 600 numbers on them and the
900 nl_mbers. Those things are very, very poorly
designed in that they - you don't get a positive
latch and sometimes they stick and sometimes they -
Even the slightest thing Jams in the side of them,
of course, they're difficult. I think the thing
is Just a little - The latch is Just too' delicately
designed. They also fail; we've had several that -
I have one in my lock compartment that I can't use.

332 17 34 h2 PLT Now let's go to the - the MDA. I want to make

this comment before I forget it. I think the
layout of the MDA, the numbering of the lockers
and stowage locations is very confusing and also
the locatabillty of items. Locker and stowage
locations in the MDA is very had. We've got to
come up with a better system than - in locating
the lockers. It's hard to move around the MDA,
it's hard to work in the MDA, hard to find things.
There are very, very few restraints; there are
no - there's no foot restraints other than the
one under the ATM and the one that's movable for
EREP and for materials processing facility.

332 17 35 21 PLT However, not only does it make it difficult to

do Jobs in the MDA, but is also causing us a
lot of problems in that the rate gyro package,
which, to be sure, was an add-on item and a con-
tingency installation - But nevertheless, because
 513

of our inflexibility - or our lack of positive

positioning in the MDA, we've kicked the rate
gyros a couple of times and caused the things to
go into coarse gain, which can cause control
problems. All I'm saying is, not only is it a
convenient device, but it can also cause you oper-
! tional problems. So it's not just a pitch for
greater maneuverability and greater ease in oper-
ating in it, but it can also lead directly to very
serious operational problems.

332 17 36 20 PLT Now one of the other things that impressed me as

a continual problem is the abil - the need for
small slip clips, that is, permanently mounted
clips that are springed against the surface, under
which you could, say, slide a card or piece of
paper. I've noticed extremely - an extreme amount
of difficulty in handling paper. I wanted to sift
through my daily pads to check on something on a
film-loading pad at one time - I had made a mistake
in locating one of my - stowing one of my magazines
- and in doing so, I found it extremely difficult
to file - to sort through loose papers. It would
f--
have been awfully nice to have these located around
so that you could sit there and you could, say -
If you had a stack of sheets, small sheets, in
your hand, you could go from your left hand and
handle it with your right hand. You could take
them with your right hand out of your left hand
and slip them under the spring clip one at a time
and then - in that manner sort of leaf through a
stack of paper. But it is a problem, and I think
they drift free easily.

332 17 37 2_ PLT Any future spacecraft, it seems to me, has got to

have lots of these things located around suitable
work station. For instance, around the wardroom
window there ought to be at least a half a dozen
of those - something that would serve the purpose.
I'm not trying to design for the designers, but
a spring clip - And what I'm talking about is a
leaf spring, which exerts pressure against a
_ permanent surface, and just sort of mount it there
and flat, sort of out of the way, probably not
raised over 1/4 or 1/2 inch. But it's Just there,
and you can slip a card under it. And I would
say that there is a tremendous need for locating
a lot of these all over the spacecraft, everywhere
you could put them in without causing any problems.
51b,

332 17 38 0_ PLT It seems to me there would be no impact on struc-

ture, and it might even - there might even be
an argument for locating something on the order
of a - of a slipping camera bracket or something
maybe not quite that sophisticated. But ...
these snap points or some snap pattern around
or hole pattern into which you could insert these
things. And have the pattern like it's on our
grid - floor grid, ceiling grid. Have this patterns
located at - copiously all around the spacecraft
so that you could put these - put a spring clip
in, put a Velcro pad on that's got a metal back
on it or something like that - so you could Just
throw these things all around and adapt yourself
to the task at hand.

332 17 38 h8 PLT Now I'm sure the tasks have varied from Skylab i,
2, and 3. And I'm sure that each one of the crews
and individuals in the crew would differ on where
to locate the things and what to locate. One man
might want a spring clip; another want a Velcro
patch. But anyway, if you had a hole pattern,
like it's - or a snap pattern so that you could
locate these things and have flexibility of putting
them all over the place, it would certainly sim-
plify operations. What's my biggest problem since
I've been up here is Just managing mobile things -
and when I'm moving around, Just managing things.
Once you get your feet in the grid, you start this -
start operating. It's Just like operating in one g;
no problems. But because we don't have these pro-
visions all over the spacecraft at common work
locations - Now minus-Z and plus-Z SALs should
have had lots of clips and lots of these places
where you could stow things and maueuver things
and temporarily restrain items for conducting -
What most of our SAL experiments are, are - It
involves - are manipulations and operations with
multiplicity of items, including paper work and
sm-ll pieces of hardware cables, et cetera. Finis.

332 17 h0 13 PLT Okay, I can't say enough good things about the
sleep compartment. As far as the sleeping bag
itself is concerned, I can't see that anything
can be improved on that, other than maybe giving
it flexibility or maybe change the contours or
something. But I find that highly effective ; I
have no comment other than just to say that I
think it's excellent as far as I'm concerned.
 515

332 17 40 34 PLT One thing that we've noticed is that we may be

running out of tissues, and because of the combi-
nation of 5-psi environment and zero gravity, we
have - I have a continual problem with nasal
congestion. And it may be something that is -
Before I forget it, it would be nice to include
in all future stowage areas - Put in tissues. I
think we're probably okay, but we're going to run
pretty tight.

332 17 hl 13 PLT Okay, on the triangle shoes, l've not been able
to use the mushroom shoes; l'm not reporting on
them. The triangle shoes really take a beating.
This has been reported by all crews, and I think
it's, of course, that we've use - When you move
around, you tend to sort of move with your hands
and try to stabilize and stop your thrashing about
with your feet. The shoes really take a beating,
the backs and the toes. The fireman's pole's
excellent. I - I use that all the time.

332 17 42 46 PLT Okay, I think I've already covered item number 2

in my discussion of temporary stowage provision
and small restraint. As far as body restraint,
_-- triangle shoes are excellent. I have found myself
at times when there's no grid pattern - Like when
I did the Coolanol servicing maintenance task, I
actually took tethers, tethered my ankles to
handholds on the mol sieve. Because as you maueu-
ver with your hands, the rest of your body torques
about. And you've got to have some - some way of
restraining your feet because this is the one part
of your body that - over which you do not have as
much control as, of course, the arms and the upper
body. As far as recommendation - as recommendations
for improvement, I would say that the triangle
shoes are very good, a little bit difficult to
get in. If it could be made easier, that would
be an improvement. The only way I can think of
improving it is, where you don't have the perma-
nently installed grid, that you should have some
way of attaching, say, something like a fishnet
webbing or something into which you could put your
feet to restrict - restrain the lower part of the
body while you torque about with the - with the
upper body and the arms. If you had something
like a fishnet that you could stretch around -
and I'm talking about one you can Just poke your
feet through and maybe entangle them in a couple
516

of - of the lines so that you Just have something

to hold your body - lower body while you're -
while you're working - it would help an awful lot.

332 17 44 46 PLT I've already mentioned the way I tied my legs down
to do the Coolanol servicing.

332 17 45 01 PLT Non-equipment. Okay, that's item number 3. How

effective is non-equipment-assisted verbal co_uni-
cation? I'd say - say when you're on the same
level, you have no difficulty com_,micating. And
this is because of the noise level and the way it
increases as you go up and down the X-axis of the
workshop. So when you're trying to shout to
somebody who is separated from you by more than
lO or 15 feet along the X-axis, you find it ex-
tremely difficult to com-,inicate. When you are
comm_micating on the same level, say in the
X/Z plane, you have no difficulty. Of course, that
restricts you to a limited distance there, probably
no more than 20 feet anyway. Also, I think prob-
ably the shape of the workshop, the fact that it's
round, helps a little bit to focus sound and
especially when you're communicating on the same
level. I would say - I think I've already given
the distance - I'd say, oh, 15 to 20 feet. When
you're separated by more than 15 to 20 feet along
the X-axis, you actually have to shout.

332 17 46 12 PLT Okay, item number _. How satisfactory are the

food management and dining accommodations? I
would say they were satisfactory. I think that's
what I would give them. I like the water guns_
they're real good. The dispensing system is good.
One of the things, the foot restraints - they
have already been picked to pieces. I don't want
to cover them. I don't like them too well. They
clock your triangles, but they don't unclock them.
So when you get out of the foot restraints on the -
around the wardroom table, you got to reach down
and exert quite a bit of force with your fingers to
unclock your triangles so that you can use them in
the grid. And this means that - it's a little bit
unpleasant, and you sort of tend not to use the
triangles in the pedestal around the food prepara-
tion table. Foo - Foot restraint is - is essential
when you're around the - the wardroom table though,
and that's where I usually step back and just use
the grid, because I'm a little bit lazy and I don't
like to reclock the triangles.

332 17 47 17 PLT The - How well does the food adhere to the utensils
when eating? It adheres quite well; however, you
still get the splash and spatter problem, and in
fact, getting all of the food out of the plastic
bags and - Once you get it on the utensil, out
of the bag, then it's no problem. One of the
things that I would like to - that I find is
difficult is mixing the condiment in. And I find
that I spray - I try to really spray it around
and mix - Cut a big triangle out of the plastic
container, hold it over the food, and spray the
condiment in there, whether it's pepper or
Tabasco sauce, which is the main condiments I use.

332 17 48 02 PLT Would a closer tray-to-mouth proximity have

improved eating ease? The answer is, for me at
least, affirmative; it would, and I find myself
eating Japanese style quite often, getting m_
mouth down very close. And this Just - it Just
minimizes the probability of getting - getting food
loose, because you're - you got your mouth open
right down next to the food and you can sort of
shovel it in.

332 17 48 29 PLT What unanticipated problems have occurred in

performing various activation, housekeeping, or
experiment activities to date? Well, I guess
they weren't really unanticipated, but movement
around and restraining myself has caused me a
little bit more of a problem than I thought. I've
already mentioned the problem of stowage - temporary
restraint and stowage of loose it_m_, particularly
when assembling equipment that has multi - a multi-
plicity of pieces. One of the things that has
really caused me more trouble than anything else
is the book and accounting on the film. One of the
worst tasks I've ever performed is in the film
transfer; I don't think it was too well. As far
as the bookkeeping part of it, it was excellent.
I mean there were no errors. There were no errors,
and it was correct. However, as far as being well
designed for the human factors and so forth and
having some creative planning going into it, the
film transfer represents a good example of how not
to do it.

332 17 49 35 PLT And there was Just no help given the operation
other than the fact that the number of the cassettes
in the bags were written on the outside, and that
518

was only after I insisted that it be done. There

was about 90 percent lost time in the film transfer
Just looking and making sure you had the right
magazine, and I'm not addressing myself to the
point that they were stowed in all different
locations in the commaud module. That was un-
avoidable because of launch problems and weight. 1
I'm talking about after I got the stuff all together,
there was no help on the items themselves. And
other than the fact that the cassette n_nbers had
been printed on there for me so I didn't have
to open each compartment of each bag and look and
see what - yeah verily, it's cassette number BT03 or
whatever. And if I had not had that done, it would
have taken me l0 hours to do that film transfer.
I think that probably impresses me as being the
lousiest planned operation I've ever seen.

332 17 50 53 PLT Okay, another unanticipated problem in performing

various activation, housekeeping, or experiment
activities to date was the fact that we were -
we had added on to our Flight Plan not Just one
or two, but at least two dozen brand new tasks
which we had never done or had Just been talked
through or had done maybe once. To give an
example of a fairly complex experiment which we
had not trained for, that's the 8183. Originally,
we were not planned - it was not planned for us
to do that. I only installed and assembled the
S18B one time in a mini sire and operated - operated
it, a safety operation, one time in a mini sire.

332 1T 51 39 PLT And that's not enough for a complex piece of

equipment that has pieces stowed here - hither
and yon and is a fairly complex piece of equip-
ment. You had to get film out of the film drawer,
and the cassette itself requires tender loving
care. Power cables come out of a dome locker.
The equip - the assembly itself comes out of a
fairly corn - not complex operate, but if - it's -
if you're unfamiliar with it, it's confusing
stowage. You have to use a piece of S019, another
experiment, for part of it, and you have to hook
it up to various things. You got to get a DAC
camera out in addition to the flight magazine and
carrousel. And all in all, I Just use it as a
typical example of for what I con - what I con-
sider to be, although not an extremely difficult
 519

- one which is a complex task of management of

small pieces of equipment and hardware.

332 17 52 B5 PLT Now we got to do that - I got to do it one time,

and yet when we got ready to do that experiment,
we were scheduled a time line Just as though we
were completely precision and had done it hundreds
of times. I'm not - I think we've said enough.
I think the flight planners had a lot of this stuff
j_mmed down their throats, the FAO people. I don't
want to be critical of them, but I do want to point
out the problem. The question was asked, and I'm
answering it. And I was extremely irritated with
the time that we were given to perform these tasks
the first time. And I can see what happened on
the ground; I know that there are a lot of people
involved. When you do that, there's no single
individual who's at fault; it's Just sort of -
you get caught in the" system. And that's - I want
to make it very clear it's nothing personal. But
the question has been asked, and I do want to em-
phasize my - my feelings about it.

332 17 5B 23 PLT Now there were a lot of housekeeping tasks that I

had never done before, and again, the first time
through required more time than was allotted.
Some of the medical stuff that we got, the stereo
photos we had never - that's right, the stereo
photos we had never done. Some of the IR photos
we had never done, and yet we were given, you know,
like - just added on a couple of minutes here and
there to do this sort of thing; it's extremely
difficult. What - I would like to give an example
of what happens when you add on a task like the
IR photos. And this is a case where we were given
the task of taking IR photos of each other, and the
instructions, although it sounded rather glib, were
fairly difficult to follow.

332 17 54 l0 PLT A man lay down on the grid floor in front of the
film locker. Another man was supposed to float
up around the fireman's pole. And of course that's
ridiculous. You don't float when you're taking
photographs. So what I - what I ended up doing
was going up by - putting one triangle in my water
tank B and sticking one leg back in between the
water tanks. And what I did, I had activated
water tank B and pressurized it, and I had - Then
I kicked the valve off. Now I didn't know this
52O

until last night; we had some trouble with -

started having trouble _-ith the water tank. I
still have not reported this to ground. But I
Just would like to give this as a good example of
what happens when you throw stuff on the last
minute without having proper training on it.

332 17 5h 53 PLT And what I did - I actually could have damaged the
pressurization valve to water tank 3. There I w_s,
fat, dumb, and happy, one foot restrained, the
other foot sticking back between the water tam_ks,
and I kicked the valve off - pressurization valve,
off, which started losing water pressure. And I
didn't - I wasn't smart enough to figure this out
until last night after we'd 81 - after Houston had
already solved the problem. The question you asked
here in the book is what unanticipated problems
have occurred in performing various activation
housekeeping, or experiment activities to date, and
that's the answer. That is - that is a kind of
thing that happens when you start throwing things
on at the last minute. And we're very - we're
quite happy to do this, but we've got to have the
time, the first time through, to get familiar with
it. And also, you can expect glitches, like me
kicking off that pressurization valve on water
tank 3.

332 17 55 42 PLT Now I consider that to be my fault; I should have

known better than that, but that's exactly what
happens. This is a very good question you've
asked, and I was Just giving that as a good example
of how not to fly a spacecraft and how not to
schedule operations. Somebody thinks something
up in an office, it sounds good, and then all of
a sudden you find yourself trying to do it the
first time, never having done it before. And it's
it's going to take probably four or five times as
much time to do the task than the man who is need-
ling the - the FAO types - "Have them do my exper-
iment; it only takes 5 minutes." And you end up
taking an hour to do it.

332 17 56 32 PLT Okay, and the rest of number 5 is what - Are there
any common difficulties that can be traced to
inadequacie of design, onboard provisions, or
preflight preparations? I alluded to all three of
those. Preflight preparations, I just got through
telling what can happen when you don't have good
 521

preflight preparation. The - Using the example

the MDA layout, the poor layout and locatability
of lockers and the lack of foot restraints has
been a major shortcoming operating in the MDA and
the - the drawers of the doors operation, et cetera,
for the rest of the spacecraft.

332 17 57 16 PLT Okay, question 6. What significant improvisation

- procedural, equipment arrangements, modifications,
et cetera, have you accomplished as a result of
adapting to living and working in zero g? I use
these straps around the ankles to hold my feet, and
I made cardboard partitions for the camera drawer
G in the film vault. And I hope to get around to
making holders of tops to the - for the drawers
or at least some - make some kind of provisions
for keeping the equipment from flying about when
moving the film drawer, to keep it from drifting
out of its stowage location. The Earth terrain
camera magazines also float out of their restraints
in the film vault. It is Just - that whole film
vault impresses me as being a pretty ineffective
design. It - Some of them are so tight you can't
get them out, and the others are loose. And you
P put them in their designrestraintlike the ETC
mags, and then it Just floats right out.

332 17 58 13 PLT How satisfactory have the various environmental

elements of habitability been in providing suitable
habitat; lighting, noise, temperature, h_Im_dity,
airflow? Generally, satisfactory. We've com-
mented on the low h1_m4dity; however, the temper-
ature is coming down now. I think we're a little
bit happier. Airflow is great. I have no - no
complaints at all on airflow. One of the things
that's causing probably more unpleasantness than
anything else is the flatus - the farts that we
had - generate here in this low psl. This 5-psi
atmosphere 's extremely unpleasant. I think it 's
because of a lot of gas that we ingest while we're
eating our food. The - the airflow is really
essential for getting that stuff stirred up and
taken out of the air.

332 17 58 56 PLT Temperatures got - started getting a little -

actually a little cool last night. We've actually
turned the thermostat up. Noise, you always have
noise. I - I'm used to noises; so it'd be nice if
522

there were't any. It's sort of - I guess you'd -

have a - It's good to have a little background noise.
Lighting is adequate. Were - There are two noises
that we noticed in the spacecraft which we've
gotten used to now, but sort of interesting. And
one of them is the TACS firing, which sounds like
somebody thumping on a 50-gallon or maybe 150-gallon
drum. There's a fairly sharp report. And then
some kind of thermal oil canning that occurs at
daylight and darkness, sunset and Slm_ise - it
gives you amice little sound. Other than that,
I'd say that in those categorfes, everything is
entirely acceptable.

332 17 58 h8 PLT Okay; PLT. This Completes my comments on page

2-2; that's question 7.

332 18 45 23 CDR This is the CDR at 18:45 Zulu at the completion of

ATM day pass.

CDR The JOB assigned for this particular day pass was
JOB ll, chromospheric oscillations. The steps
that I did were 2, 3, and 4. I had no problems
at all with 2. I found a good sunspot umbra right
near the large - largest sunspot of active region
89. Had no problem at all spotting the umbra and
getting it pointed up well. We had the roll of
10,800 and completed building block l0 then went
on and did building block 18. On S056, I went
ahead and activated. And then I began to have
second thoughts about the pointing, and I ter-
minated it, and looked over the pointing to make
sure I was right and then activated again. So I
probably messed up your first - or wasted one
frame.

332 18 _6 36 CDR The rest of the building block 18 went pretty

much as planned. I got the 82A exposures in well
- well spaced and spread out from a time of about
43, down to a time of 17. S052 was omitted be-
cause we weren't Sun-centered. And 55 Just
ground away.

332 18 47 02 CDR I didn't notice any particularly outstanding

activity around active region 87. When I came on

console, it was nice and bright. And it stayed

that way, getting neither brighter or _immer

taking a look at XUV, that Just abouve the area
where Ed Gibson reported the coronal hole - I did
notice a bright area, looked like it was coming
around over the limb Just north of the east -
east side of the limb. I should say, Just north
of zero latitude. Other than that, there was
noth - nothing further to report on this day pass.

332 18 h7 59 CDR Out.

332 19 06 30 SPT Welcome aboard Skylab. Today, we're golng _o so

a little TV on film threading. What we're doing
here is trying to put film into a camera which we
brought up for the solar telescope. The objective
of this is -whole exercise, rather than doing it
on the ground, is to try to save a little weight
on the material which we brought up. As you know,
on Skylab 3 we were pretty weight critical at
launch. We triea to bring up as much useful
material aS we could. So we had to cut down wher-
ever we - wherever was possible. What we did was
essentiallybring up two film cassettes. This
white one and the black one.

332 19 07 27 SPT One containing the film which we are about to

install in the camera and the second one, the
takeup reel for the camera. Now the other alternative
was to bring up this total film package like so,
which is quite large and quite heavy. Rather than
do that, we convinced the folks that we're -
back at American Science and Engineering that
we were capable of bringing the film up and
threading it through the camera, checking it out,
and making it all work. And that's the task I'm
in right now.

332 19 08 05 SPT The tools that I have - that I'm using are pretty
much what you find at home - a screwdriver, paper
clip, roll of tape - the tape is the zero-g
man's right arm - and a few other small devices
- pens, pencils, and a wrench. Now what I've
done so far is to install both the takeup cassette
and the supply cassette. This is where the film
is, and this is where it's going to go. As you
can see, this is not quite an Inst-matic; so there's
a little bit more than snapping it in, and it's
.... a kind of an _nterestlb_g and challenging Job.
524

332 19 08 53 SPT This camera here was left up from one of the
previous missions, and the picture of this one is
from the second one, SL - Skylab B. And 0wen
Garriott took the film out of this one and brought
it back, and they developed and got some pretty
good pictures, from which I think we've learned
a lot about the Sun. What I'm in the process of
doing right now is putting the film through the
various gears and trains which it must go in
order that it'll properly draw across the front
plate here, where it will be exposed once it gets
into the telescopes outsi_e.

332 19 09 33 SPT This kind of task is a - a very useful one, I

think, for a mau in space. There's nothing that
I've done here that I haven't done on the ground.
And I think I can - Whatever I have done on the
ground, did any repair work, I can certainly do
up here Just as easily. And in some cases, you
can do it more easily. When you're working on
something, if you're - if you would like to Just
let something float while you - you use your
hands to do something else, you can do it.
Things don't lay down for you, but they do - t_

well, stay relatively close to you while you're

working. The f_Im here is thrashing around because
we have a lot of air currents in the multiple
docking adapter, which - where I am located. So I'll
Just press on with my Job

332 19 l0 23 SPT Hope to see you again.

332 19 17 47 SPT We've gotten it up to the point now where all we

have to do is to attach these two pieces of film
together, using the tape which has already been
brought up here and provided for us. Then we
check out the camera, which we can do by putting
electrical impulses into the drive mechanism,
Just to make sure it all functions properly.
Then we'll be all set to go one more EVA, where
we'll install it. And hopefully, when we come
back there, we'll have lots of good data.

332 19 18 16 SPT We have our previous missions, and we hope what

we'll bring back will be improved, based on
experience which was gained from them.

332 19 39 05 PLT ... instructions - to take the pictures.

PLT The posture I assumed was with one of my triangle

shoes in the blue restraint panel that is under -
below the water tanks. And what I did, I put my
left foot in one of the triangles, and my right
foot I stuck back between the water tanks and
maneuvered it around to hold my position.

332 19 39 44 PLT I 'm fairly confident that what happened was that
I moved that with my foot. And I guess this Just
points out once more the lack of wisdom in doing
things in flight that you never trained for. We
had never trained for that. All we did was we
read - we read the procedures first time we got
ready to take those IR photographs, and we're
going through a learning curve on it. Probably
wasted a lot of film - frames of film.

332 19 _O 1O PLT And it was improper procedure simply because it

was completely strange in trying to stabilize our-
selves. But the main point I'm trying to make is
that I am reasonably certain that I kicked the
pressurization valve off on water tan_ 3 while I
F was maneuvering there taking those IR photos.

332 20 07 07 CDR This is the CDR at 20:02 Zulu reporting on hand-

held photography. The site assigned for 19:56:B1
was HHI_0, a wheatfield in - around Asuncion,
Argentina. On the lead-in to that particular
site we passed over northern Chile and southern
Peru. We did not get to look at fault zones
which are called out in wRIOI-6 and Hl_106. How-
ever, in northern Chile we did notice great, huge
dry lakebeds _ and we photographed one in partic-
ular that had a lot of very dark brown water in
it. We are assuming that that's caused by mining
probably a mine pond. The location of the photo-
graph was near Calsma, Chile. The picture was a
55-millimeter Nikon picture; the settin6 was prob-
ably not correct, it was f/8.

332 20 08 3_ CDR I think it should have been an f/ll, but we had

the camera set up for the wheatfields and Just
quickly snapped this one off on the spur of the
moment. The following - That - that was frame
526

number 48. Frame number 49 and frame 50 were

with a 55-millimeter lens. The handheld Nikon
was of HHlh0-4, the wheatfield near Asuncion. I
doubt if the pictures will be very good because
there was a very good deal of smoke in the area.
There were many, many fires burning, particularly
north and northwest - correction, northeast of
the agricultural area that was very square and
plainly laid out. The colors of the fields in
the agricultural area varied from light tan to a
very dark green. And the agricultural pattern was
very regular, indicating that they had very modern
methods of wheat growing there - wheat farming.

CDR As I said before, the fires are around the north

and northeast edge of the agricultural area. The
wind appeared to be blowing from the northeast
and was blowing the smoke right over the
wheat field.

we would recommend that you try to do that wher-

is that we're instrumented and we can give the

in getting it. It does save a lot of dressing and

a trap. What we've done is, we've deleted it
from our cue card because this morning we did
an M092, a 171 - I knew it had been done, and
so I Just ass_im_d that the two recorders were
still on B and D and I didn't even look at them.
So that's a - a faux pas on my part, but on the
other - on the other hand, this is a trap. So

observing time in order to execute the building
blocks. One thing that does take a little more
time, and I'll probably have to get more proficient
on and learn how to work a little bit better and
a little faster, is using the 55 GRATING and -
excuse me, 55 INTENSITY DATA as a way of locating
hot spots within active regions or locating other
features on the Sun.

332 21 52 33 SPT It takes a long while to hunt around and to locate

what you're after when you only have a display -
a numerical display and you have no two-dimensional
feel for what you're looking at in comparison to
numerical readouts. It takes a little while to
develop that feel. And in exploring active region
87 today, I found it took an awfUl lot of time
even to find what I thought was an adequate hot
spot to explore. I feel I'ii get better in the
future at this, but it will take a fair amount
of time in order to get perhaps the - the quality
data we're after.

332 23 00 00 SPT SPT at 23:00, ATM operations. S056 is getting,

for their 10-minute exposures, something a little
over l0 minutes. I lost the initial count on it,
but I'm sure that it'll be somewhere between
lO and ll minutes. The other two timings were
pretty much on the money.

these long exposures, when I turn the camera power
off, when is the exposure concluded? When I turn
the camera power on, or when I see shoot a frames
remaining decrement? There was a period of quite
a few seconds difference there.

332 23 h2 30 SPT SPT at 23:h2. Subject is Mh87-2A, and I'll be

_-_ giving my comments now. The CDR will - the CDR's
comments will be coming in a little later tonight.
First question: What particular aspects of the OA
seem well designed and arranged for living and
working in zero g? I'd say probably the best part
is the MDA. That's because we've made - well -
good use of the wall. I think the lower compart-
ment, that is the experiment compartment, and oth -
the other quarters on the lower floor of the OWS
are okay; however, the upper compartment could cer-
tainly be much better in that the walls are not
utilized for anything. It's strictly a one-g de-
sign. The bottom experiment compartment is also a
one-g design, but because of the height, you prob-
ably gain more by working on the floor than you
do on the wnlls. I think the whole OWS has been
a one-g design. It's been that because of - well,
for many reasons, mostly engineering. In terms
of optimum work, I thimk something like the MDA
is best for working at a given location in modules
and so forth. If you need the free, large, open
space for experiments, then the upper part of the
OWB is fine.
532

332 23 hh 30 SPT What restraint devices offer the most assistance

in performing tasks and which the least? I think
the best that we have are good, old triangle shoes.
They seem to work real well. The ones that worked
the least probably are the restraints that we have,
or the lack of restraints that we have in the head
and also the foot restraints in the wardroom. The
foot restraints there always tend to unlock your
triangle so that you end up with the inner part
locked and the foot cgmling out, which means it only
takes a good 15-20 seconds of - of pushing and
pulling in order to get your triangle shoe back
in shape. So the net result, you never end up
using your triangle shoes.

332 23 h5 2h SPT In the head, we Just don't have any. There are
some little ones on the floor which - which are
all right if you're in your bare feet, but they
don't help at al1 if you're in triangle shoes. I
would suggest that we make walls, ceiling, and as
much as possible out of something which you could
hook your shoes on to, whether it would turn out
to be triangles in the future or squares or balls
or whatever it'd be. I think that much of the -_
environment should be made of that particular
material.

SPT How effective is non-equipment-assisted verbal

co---auication throughout the 0A? It's okay if you
are in the same compartment -that is, if you're,
say, in the lower bot - lower storage in - well, of
the OWS or the upper compartment or in the MDA or in
the command module. But if you're trying to go from
any one of those four compartments, it's awfB_lly
hard. You can't do it because there is usually
too much noise, or Just too much absorption of
sound. If you happen to be in the experiment com-
partment, then you can usually call up to someone
above you, but it does take a fair amount volume.

332 23 46 36 SPT How satisfactory have the intercom boxes been for
IVA communication? I find that when they are not
squealing they're okay. However, the problem with
the squeal Just makes these things almost obnoxious
at times. I think that it's a shame, and I think
that they could have been designed better. I don't
think there's any reason for - with the technology
that we have at our disposal - that we end up with
 533

comm boxes that have squeals for three missions.

We have come up with an alleged fix for these;
however, when we put the fix in, we find they still
squeal; maybe not quite as bad as the other guys
have had it, but they're still squealing. Every
time you press one of those buttons, they squeal,
and then you run around for a good 10-15 seconds
trying to find out which box it is, and then c-lm it
down. Air-to-ground also works the same way. I find
that that is not Just inconvenience, but a real time
waster. I think whoever designed that thing Just
incorporated an awful lot of wasted crew time and
a lot of - he created a lot of nonproductivity into
the whole mission. Locations are not too bad.

332 23 47 49 SPT How satisfactory are the food management and dining
accommodations? They're not too bad. I could
find - I could think they could be a little more
pleasant in the wardroom. They're - Functionally,
they seem to work reasonably well. I don't have
any real major complaints right now.

SPT How well does the food adhere to utensils when

eating? I don't find that's any problem as long
f- as you reconstituteit well enough. There are a
few things such as sausage which gets a little out
of hand, tends to break up and move away. Would
a closer tray-to-mouth proximity have improved the
eating ease? No, I don't think so. Not at all.
You're - if you have a problem, it's going to be
with you regardless of what you do there. You Just
can't put it up next to your mouth and flop it in.

332 23 48 38 SPT What unanticipated problems have occurred in per-

forming various activation, housekeeping, or experi-
ment activities to date? I think the tmanticipated
problems are relative to that we did not anticipate
we'd be m,nning so darn many medical experiments
which we had never seen before. There are some
good ideas behind these medical experiments, and
the objectives are worthwhile. However, I think
the people who are behind them were completely
wrong in not exposing these experiments to us early
and letting us get some training on them. It took
us, as a rough generaliza -.Just rough generaliza-
tion, of factor of 2 longer than what was pla_-ed
on the Flight Plan to carry out every one of these;
and by that I mean the - the stereo photos, the IR
photos, the limb volume measurement, the blood
pressure - leg blood pressure measurement, and one
534

or two others which don't come to mind right now.

They were scheduled an awful lot in those first
few days, and it took up a major portion of our
time Just trying to get those darn things done, and
we found that we were usually running far behind
the time line and unable to get most of the house-
keeping and transfers and other things set up in
order to get this place squared away.

332 23 50 06 SPT The net result is that our first 7 or 8 days up

here were not something I'd want to go through
again. We were hustling around behind the time
line tirea and irritated for those - for those -
that whole first week. And I think it all boils
down to the fact that we threw a lot of experiments
on board at the last minute, stuffed them all in at
the very beginning of the mission at a very critical
type - time period, and expected it ass to work
and, of course, it didnlt.

332 23 50 h0 SPT Are there any Co_on difficulties that can be

traced to inadequacies of design, onboar_ pro-
visions or preflight preparations? Well, I Just
answered the one on preflight preparation. y.

Onboard provisions? So far, nothing I can even

think of in a small way. I'm sure a few things
can come to mind from time to time, but nothing
sticks in m_, mind right now. And inadequacies
in the - in the design? Not common difficulties,
Just a lot of small points - other than the fact
that I think we can use some more footholds at
various locations, which I've already mentioned.

332 23 51 35 SPT What significant improvisations - procedural,

equipment arrangements or modifications, et cetera,
have you accomplished as a result of adapting to
living and working in zero g? Well, for one thing
I found that it's - it was initially hard to get
used to the idea that you can drop something and
it would stay right where it was. However, I find
now that it's Just my normal way of working. I
can have two or three things up in the air, whether
I'm eating or working with tools, and leave them
there for 10, 20, or 30 seconds - and then go about
my business with my hands in another location, come
back and work with whatever I have there. I found
that I've used an awful lot of gray tape Just for
securing things, permanently or temporarily. I
find the springs that we have which we use to hold
 535

checklists down are very useful. I've also explored

a little bit using the vent on the large screen
up at the dome in the OWS as a work table, and I
think that works pretty well. The aerodynam_ c work
table was - was not a bad concept. I'm sorry the
electrical one had to go along with it and can the
whole thing. I may be working on that one a little
bit more and trying to give you something later on
it. I think also Just plain old sticky-back. I have
have many times take tape and put it down so that
the sticky side is up and use that as a way of
holding nuts and bolts, any small pieces.

332 23 53 00 SPT How satisfactory have the various environmental

elements of habitation been in providing a suitable
habitat - lighting, noise, temperature, ht_idity,
airflow? Airflow is great. Humidity - relative
humidity has been very low here at the high beta
angle and I find things have dried out quite a bit.
I've got dry skin, cracked lips and so forth, so
I hope the hnm_dity gets to a lower beta angle which
will improve. Temperature, a little warm the first
few days, again at the high beta angle. Noise?
I think there's Just a little too much noise to
get sound sleep. It's a consistent noise; it
doesn't change. But I'm a relatively light sleeper
and noise does affect me. This continual hum of
pumps, I think, does lighten m_ sleep more than
I'd like to have it. Lighting? No problem. I
think we have all the lights we need.

 DAY 333 (AM)
537

333 00 01 28 SPT SPT at 00:01. Subject is cue card changes and

this in particular should be addressed to Bruce
McCandless and perhaps the flight director on his
shift. Tonight when I requested or notified that
I would change the cue card to eliminate nu z
update, apparently this caused a fair amount of
problems down on the ground. I could tell by the -
by the reaction of the CAP COMM. It's m_ under-
standing that we ought to follow these cue cards
precisely by the letter. If we are to do that,
then they ought to be correct. Now for them to
be correct either someone keeps control of them
on the ground or we mR;_e some of the changes up
here, and tell you what we're doing, and you agree
or don't agree to them. I don't think the latter
is the way to go. If you folks want to control
the content of those cue cards, then we're all for
it, and we'll accept the changes which you send
up. However, I would like to make sure that you
understand that we plan to follow those things
precisely and as written. And if changes don't
come up, we'll assume that the cue card is correct
f aswritten.

333 00 02 50 SPT We cannot have these unwritten assumptions going

into the various it_ma in the cue cards. It's -
that's Just no way to run a flight, and it won't
work. I'd appreciate any comments you have in
this regard. Maybe I misunderstood what happened.

333 00 03 08 SPT SPT out.

TIME SKIP

333 00 3h 05 CDR Say something intelligent, Ed.

PLT Okay, who has prime rib ... ?

SPT Yes, I did. Th_nk you.

333 00 3_ 22 SPT Welcome to Skylab 3. You've stepped in on us here

as we're preparing our dinner. The PLT Just
stepped out and after preparing his dinner, the
CDR has moved in to eat it. We're going to watch
the CDR tonight, the commander, as he tries to eat

some of the food while straining it through his

newly-grown-but-good-looking beard. We spent the
first l0 days of our flight getting our house
squared away and learning how to live. I think
we've gotten things pretty well in hand by now;
the three major parts of the Skylab objective.
First of all the Earth resources, I think, are
looking good. We have, on the first EVA, fixed
one of the antennas which we use for the Earth
resources, and it ought to give us quite a bit
more significant information than we would have
had otherwise. We hope to be making some Earth
resource passes pretty soon.

333 00 35 32 SPT The second part of the mission, the medical, has
been coming along at a pretty fast clip. The first
week or so, we spent doing a - spent a major part
of our time doing medical experiments. A lot of
emphasis has been placed on that because that's
where the - a large number of the significant
changes start to occur and where the changes have
not been observed before.

SPT The third part, solar observation, we've started -

off in the past 2 to 3 days_ have gotten it roll-
ing off at a pretty fast clip. We've completed
all of the film loading outside during the EVA
for all of the new equipment, and we have also
Just loaded more film into a comera this after-
noon, which was, I think, a pretty useful and
challenging Job for a man to do up in zero g. It
used to be that something like that was never even
thought of. It's a relatively complicated task
since it really wasn't an Instamatic type loading.
But since we were tight on launch weight and vol-
ume, we had to Just bring the film and not - not
an extra camera.

SPT So, all and all, we're pretty happy with the way
things have come here, andwe feel that the next
70 or so days in space will be both quite enjoy-
able for us and rewarding. And we mean rewarding
for the total Skylab Program and the country.

333 00 38 40 SPT You will see Dr. Pogue here extracting some salt
water - trying to extract some salt water using
the syringe from the bag in which we have brought
up salt and mixed with water once we got on board.
Apparently, he's done pretty well on this. Many
times the salt sticks up, not because it gets too -
too wet as it does on the ground, but because it's
too dry up here and it Just dries inside the place
where we put the syringe. Notice Dr. Pogue now
injecting some salt into his filet.

330 00 39 20 SPT All the techniques of a good surgeon (laughter).

TIME SKIP

333 02 i0 49 SPT SPT at 02:10, ATM operations. The first part of

this orbit went very smoothly; JOP 6, step i,
building block i. The second part, 12C, I Just
completed. The choice of coordinates for a quiet
region were very good. That whole area, anyway,
there - plus or minus 4 or 5 arc minutes - almost
any direction was all fairly quiet, except maybe
toward the center of the Sun. I chose to go
straight with the coordinates that were given.

333 02 ii 30 SPT I worked at - in UP/DOWN of 05h9, and I went Lk_2/

RIGHT between plus 0320 and 0380, I think I can
cut them pretty accurately in those bounds. I
used a model which crossed the mechanical CROSSHAIR
in H-ALPHA i, and then moved that - put that model
- carried the model when I was pointing at 320,
which was on both CROSSHAIRS and then moved that
model out 60 arc seconds and put the electronic
CROSSHAIRS on that same model. So it was a rela-
tively easy Job of - Job, that is, move that model
back and forth between the two crosshairs. If
smytlling, I'm sure you got some very uniform
coverage of that 1-arc-minute-square region.
After the first exposure, I went back and forth
once and I think quite uniformly, so your 10-second
 540

exposure was good. The other ones, I don't think,

were any problem either.

333 02 12 44 SPT If anything though, I - you - if any tended to be

nonuniform in coverage, it was at the very end
where the - where I had to turn it around and
start coming back again. So you might, if anything,
put a little more weight on the regions at the very
end, that's 320 and 380. Since those are the
regions that turned around and, I think, moved
uniformly on still the ... quite a mirror image -
mirror reflection as I went from one to the other.
But I think it worked out real well.

333 02 13 16 SPT SPT out.

333 02 23 55 SPT SPT at 02:24, ATM operations, building block i0.

82B SLIT is along a relativelybright linear fea-
ture in active region 87, a bright plage. The -
If you interpret it at H-alpha, it is of fairly
uniform brightness. However, in terms of the
XUV, it most likely is not. I found that in
searching around with the 55 instrument, that the f_

brightest parts seen in H-alpha many times don't

correspond at all to the bright parts seen in -
or located with the 55. In many cases it's 3 or
4 arc seconds - maybe up to lO arc seconds
difference.

333 02 25 45 SPT The i0- and h0-second exposures were done by using
AUXILIARY TIMER and Just watching the OPERATE/READY
light. And when I got to the end of the second
exposure in the NORMAL mode, I hit the STOP switch
on the AUXILIARY TIMER. That seems to work out
real well. It's kind of a neat way to do it.

333 02 26 12 SPT SPT out.

333 02 40 13 SPT SPT at 02:40, ATM ops. They precede the last
orbit which began at 01:36. First, let me tell
you, at the very conclusion of the orbit, I noted
that the 55 MIRROR POSITION was at a RIGHT op 25;
that is, it stayed in position 25 from the -

333 02 40 h9 SPT Stand by, Houston's calling.

333 02 50 13 SPT SPT at 02:50. I think we've seen the last ATM
pass. I'm not sure how far I - I got before I got
r_
. 51_i

called away by Houston. So let me start from the

beginning again. I noticed at the end of this
pass that the 55 mirror position was in a RIGHT
of 25; that's 25. I suspect it has remained there
from the pass precisely two cycles ago - the pass
which started at 22:30, where we did work on the
limb with JOP 5, step 4. Since that time, in the
work I have done, I don't think that has cramped
us in any way. We did a building block 1 where
we had a grating auto scan followed by a mirror
auto raster, but still we were pretty close to
the - the center there. And we did not try to
correlate it with any of the - any other experi-
ment. And I did not dare do any pointing associ-
ated with - or using the readouts of the intensi-
ty data. So I don't think there's ever any prob-
lem there.

333 02 51 42 SPT The other building blocks in this orbit are un -

also unaffected by that, but it is something we
ought to - that we ought to note. And I'll try
to make sure whenever we use that right position -
__ left/right position on the mirror, we get it back
to 32, where it belongs.

333 02 52 02 SPT It's something I usually don't keep an eye on; so

that's why it was overlooked.

333 02 53 13 SPT I'm going to continue by Just giving some ques-

tions which have come up, and maybe I'll discuss
them also tomorrow morning with Bill Lenoir. On
the long exposures for S056 on Skylab 3, how have
they come out, now that you've had a little bit
more time to develop them? What is the optimum
length for each filter? You've given me some
minimum lengths. There_are occasions where we
could go significantly longer than that, and we'd
like to know what is - what do you consider opti-
mum for the various features you're looking for?

333 02 53 50 SPT The second one, which I think I voiced earlier

today, is: When does the shutter actually close
on the long exposure - when you turn the power
on or when you see the frames decrement? For the
S082, the XUV monitor, I'm giving some very short
time integrations, as short as I can, practically,
get oft the switch. And I want to know whether
those are useful to you at all. I know Neil
542

Sheeley once talked to me about getting the short-

est possible ones, and I'm wondering if they have
turned out to be useful; and if so, I'll certain-
ly continue giving them. Again, it didn't show up
the hotspots and to me - ain't that much better
than the - the other ones which are 1/2 and 1
second_ I believe these are shorter than that.

333 02 54 40 SPT I think the way you've scheduled things today

have gone fairly well. On this last orbit I had
just concluded the experiment ops just in time.
Actually, I was below 400 K while I was finishing
up that last mirror auto raster; so perhaps I
really should have cut it off at 321. I think
you can correlate that with the time. So that
last one was packed pretty full. I probably would
not want to see it packed any fuller than that.
I did not have any real observing time on that
orbit. I Just started right out the beginning
and tread my way through it. There was a lot of
interesting things to do, but I still ended up
Just finishing up a little bit under 400 K.

333 02 55 33 SPT But I think - I appreciate the free time which I

have been given. I plan to use that for many
things, one of which is to try to explore the use
of S055 intensity data readouts for various
features. I think that's a real powerful tool
for finding specific objects - such as coronal
holes, solar channels, bright spots, and bright
plage - and get spectra from those locations.

333 02 56 Ol SPT And I'd like to learn anawful lot about how to
do that, and that's going to Just take a little
time on my own, working with it. Pretty good
first day. Hope it gets good data.

333 02 56 13 SPT SPT out.

333 03 03 55 PLT PLT, in reference to $233 and 232. First, $233,

photographing the comet. I saw - I could not see
the comet with the naked eye. I did see with -
through the binoculars. The coma looked a little
bit larger and more well defined tonight than it
did last night. In reference to S232, Jerry's
already answered a couple of questions. And all
I can add is that I think I could have seen that
barium cloud injection against any dark background -
 5_3

whether it be Earth - un - unilluminated Earth or

space background, stars - and possibly after it
hit the discone and sort of bleeped out the ward-
room window. I probably - _f it hadn't been for
that, I probably could have seen it for a - an-
other minute and a half, maybe 2-1/2 minutes at
the most. And I did see the barium cloud there
as soon as it was injected.

333 03 05 06 PLT PLT; end of comments.

333 03 06 28 SPT You are on channel B, Bill.

CDR Hey, Bill.

SPT You're on channel B, Bill.

333 03 06 41 PLT Okay. PLT, remarks on $233 operations. And in

the remarks section of the day 332 pad, it says,
"Take all three exposures at the same camera posi-
tion." This is virtually impossible, because you
have to destroy your camera setting each time you
change the focal distance. And it's very difficult
to get it back in the same position, although we
tried to do that. As far as locating the comet,
the instructions, the little - little chart you
sent up on teleprinter, is excellent. And I've
already commented on the growth - the coma of the
comet between last night and tonight.

333 03 07 49 CDR This is the CDR at 03:08 Zulu with an M487-2 Alfa
debriefing. Question number i: What particular
aspects of the O/A seemed well designed and ar-
ranged for living and working in zero g?

333 03 08 12 CDR I - I would say that the - the forward compartment

and the experiment compartment, the wardroom. The
sleep compartments are all well designed and well
arranged for working in zero g. I think that
probably the most important aspect - the design
aspect that makes it so well designed, is the
fact that we have the grid and that we wear the
triangle shoes and that there are multiple places
to anchor yourself in order to do the work that
you need to do.

333 03 08 47 CDR I've given a little thought to the dome area and
whether or not we need some more handholds. I am
544 _

not really convinced that we need any more hand-

holds than we have because we don't do much up in
the upper dome area. There's a lot of blue hand-
holds up there that we don't even use. Around the
ring lockers, I think it was a very good design
to put the - the ring of triangles - the blue ring
with the triangle holds in it. There is no ring
locker that you could get to without - that does
not have some sort of a foot restraint available
on the blue shelf. And I think that's a very good
design. The ring lockers are very handy; they're
nice and large. I think the Samsonite-luggage-
type latch and raising mechanism are really very
good. The experiment compartment is well laid out.
It's a bit crowded. But it's an experiment com-
partment, and I think, functionally, it - it fits
pretty well.

333 03 09 59 CDR For the wardroom - The only bone I might have to
pick with the wardroom would be the foot restraints
in the wardroom. The triangle foot restaint -
restraints at the floor of the table, I'm sure
you've already been told, are not exactly the same ....
as the rest of the grid. And when you lock your-
self in with your triangle shoes, that 's all fine ;
but when you get ready to unlock yourself, it
releases you before you get your triangle fully
unlocked. And then you find yourself skipping
along on one foot, ricocheting off the walls and
the overhead, trying to reach down and get your
triangle popped back into the neutral position so
that you can stick it into the grating somewhere
else. So that's a very definite design deficiency
with the wardroom.

BBB 0B i0 49 CDR Around the table, I think probably the best thing
to have been - to have done there would have been
to Just leave the whole floor area out and Just
make it all the mesh - the grid work under - under
the table and maybe only have one or two triangles
filled in on each side with a loop for a bare or
boo - booted foot, so that if somebody who wants
to eat barefooted or with a booted foot. I think
you've probably got 20 times too much brown area
down on the floor. Completely unnecessary, and
would have been, I think, a lot better off with
Just more open grid.

BBB OB ii B2 CDR The sleep compartment. I think for the room that
is available for those, I think the sleep compart-
ments are well laid out. As you lay [sic] in your
bunk, everything is within reach - the radio, the
lights, your locker, and I think that that's a
good design situation. I think - Well, I Just
can't think of anything else to say there. I
think maybe a little more work could have been done
in the lockers to personalize them a little hit
more. The lockers are really Just the plain old
sterile lockers that are available in all the rest
of the area - your open areas or with straps in
them for retaining bundles. I think one locker
probably should have been- maybe the second or
the third from the top; probably the second from
the top - should have been designed to open out
only horizontal and provide a writing surface,
sort of a little desk, much like you find in the
stateroom aboard a navy vessel - in - in the
officer's stateroom. I think - You know, Ben
Franklin desk sort of thing where you can pull
doe the door and it would stay horizontal. You
r could lay in your bed and write° And in the locker
itself, would have been - I think it would have
been good to have a bunch of little pigeon holes
and various little ways of restraining pieces of
personal equipment and things like that. Last
but not least, on the lower deck is the - the waste
management compartment. I think the equipment in
there is very good. The pot and the urine
collection devices, I think, are surprisingly
easy to use, and they're very effective.

BBB 0B IB BI CDR I don't know how much better you can get on those
unless I - I must a_m_t that when I - before I
got here, I had very grave reservations of the
ability of these two systems to work well. And
I must say I was very pleasantly surprised, oh,
on the first time in using both systems. I found
that - that they worked as well as - as advertised.
The big problem, I would say, in the waste manage-
ment compartment is lack of proper foot restraints.
We kind of boxed ourselves in, literally speaking,
when we put the sheet over the floor and thereby
did ourselves out of the gridwork available for
locking your feet down. And unfortunately, we
didn't do much to remedy the situation once it
546 _..

was done. The designed foot restraints that are

in front of the urinal and the pot interfered with
the drawers; so we've had a lot of design modifi-
cations and a lot of fiddling around. And the final
upshot of that is that we've ended up with nothing.
And changing out a urine drawer in the morning is
pure heck because you've got no way to lock your-
self down to do the work that you need to do.
And you're forever trying to Jam yourself up against
the wall or lock your feet here or there and get
yourself in position so that you can do the urine
sampling and the urine bag change-out. The same
goes for when you're finished using the commode,
the fecal collector. You find yourself in a tough
situation with a tough cleanup Job left to do and
no way to lock yourself down so that you can
stabilize yourself and do the cleanup you need to
do.

333 03 15 18 CDR You've also got to weigh the feces, put in a new
bag, m,_k the feces label, get it into the oven.
And so then during the whole period of time, you're
Just ricocheting around in there with really not
much of anything to lock into, nothing but a
couple of handholds. That's the most serious
problem in there. The - the mirrors, I think -
We could have done a better Job on the mirrors.
I think there are better metal mirrors available
than what we've got. Those are Just too dull, too
difficult to see yourself in. I think the water
dispenser and the - the squeeze bag are very good
pieces of equilmnent. Right offhand, I can't think
of a - a better way to go about doing that. I
think for those of us who shave with a razor, a
blade razor, you need some way to clean it out.
And I think that would be something that can very
definitely be designed for future spacecraft - some
sort of a little see-through compartment with a
Jet - water-Jet nozzle inside of it that you can
stick your razor in and seal it and then turn on
the little sprayer and rotate your razor or - or
squirt it and - and knock all the - the lather and
the hair out of the razor so that it can be used
again without wiping the blade. I think that -
that all of the - The items that are in the hygiene
kit, I - I think we'll probably get a chance to
hit later; so I'll drop that for now and hope that
I'll get a chance to brief - debrief on that at
some later time.

333 03 17 04 CDR Getting back to restraint devices and handholds

and the like. l've pretty much given a good bill
of health to the workshop section. Moving on up
into the airlock module and the STS and the MDA, we
begin to find that handles become few and far
between or leg - correction, foot restraints
become rather few and far between. There really
isn't much requirement in the airlock module for
foot restraints during the non-EVA situation, but
it would give crewmen a thrashing around there in
a EVA situation. It certainly would be helpful
if you could lock yourself into some sort of a
position. I suspect that some sort of a bracket
that would have held the universal foot restraints
might have been a very valuable thing in there,
so that the - each man could lock them into the
airlock module much the same as we lock the VS and
VC trees. And then the crewman can go in there and
lock his feet in and be stable and be much more
efficient in the way he works in the airlock module.

333 03 18 12 CDR In the MDA, I think the EREP foot restraints and
the ATM foot restraints are very good. Unfortu-
nately, I think we need a few more. I think we
could use a few more handholds in there, too. It
would seem to me that the handholds could be placed
Just kind of randomly in there but no handholds
more than h feet from another handhold.

333 03 18 40 CDR And a handhold could be designed in such a manner

that a leg can be - or a knee - the back of a
knee or something like that could be hooked into
it. And that way, the hold - the restraint could
be both a foot restraint or a leg restraint and a
hand restraint. Okay. I guess I've indicated all
of the deficiencies in what I consider to be the
restraints.

333 03 19 12 CDR How effective is the nonequipment-assisted verbal

communication throughout the O/A? the intercom
boxes have been quite satisfactory with the exception
of the squeal problem. You've probably heard,
sometimes during the activation phase, that we
were having fits with the squeal problem. Once we
put in the antisqueal device in the command module,
the - the squeal problem on the air-to-ground loop
is pretty much solved. The squeal problem does,
however, still exist on occasions if we're using the
548

intercom boxes for intercom - that is, for IVA

communications. I think the intercom boxes are
generally pretty well located. I can't think of
any other places that we could locate them other
than where they are, right offhand. If I think
of anything specific, I'ii put that on the chart -
on the tape - channel A tape. Nonequipment-assisted
verbal cn-,,unieations throughout the workshop is
POSSible. It's - In the workshop area, it's quite
easy to communicate with anybody that's within the
workshop area. You can talk to anybody in the
experiment compartment, the wardroom, the waste
managememt compartment, or the sleep compartments
without any great problems at all. The - the waste
management compartment, of course, does become
a little bit difficult once you close the door and
turn on the fan.

333 03 20 44 CDR The food management and dining accommodations, I

think, are pretty well laid out. We have a rather
unique problem in that we are staying much longer
than was originally planned; so the food is not
packed for us in the manner that mA_es it easy for
us to get to - to it in the properdays. We _
finally had to spend quite a few m_n-hours, I
think about 5 to 6 man-hours, in rearranging all
the overage food in a pantry fashion so that it
could be easily obtained when we need to come up
and fill up a food bag for a high-density day. I
would suggest, in the future, for food bags, that
we consider going pantry style. I think the pantry
style is a - is a good way to go. Design some
little hand foodbags that you can carry with you
and go up and Just pick your menu out of a pantry,
out of cans that are marked and each can holding
only one kind of food, with that marked on the
front. Possibly you could put some X's or some
O's or something on the front of the can - on the
top of the can so that when you remove an item,
you merely draw an X or write a - put a line in
one of the circles, indicating that one's missing.
And that way, the number of open X's or open
circles or sq_a_es would indicate how many are
inside. I would suspect that it would be a good
idea to have the food located in such a manner so
that it's much like a razor blade dispenser - when
you pull one - one can of food out, the next one
moves into its _laee behind it - and that you
 5_9

don't have two layers deep, that there'd Just

be one layer all the way to the back.

333 03 22 49 CDR That means food cans about _ feet long instead of
2 feet long or about 36 inches long rather than
18 inches long. The food adheres to the utensils
quite well when you eat ; surprisingly so. I think
the fo - most of the food is sticky enough so
that it's no problem at all to eat. I don't think
it would be good to have a closer tray-to-mouth
proximity because the food tables are used for -
as a working table, as a desk, and I think you
need to have it where it is.

333 03 23 29 CDR What unanticipated problems have occurred in

performing various activations, housekeeping, or
experiment activities to date? Well, I guess the
most - the most prevalent unanticipated problem
that we have experienced during activation and
housekeeping was - Number i: As much time as
we've spent in the workshop trainer at Houston
doing mini-sims and finding our way around, we
still came up here and we were like one-arm
z paperhangersand b,_] ]s in a china shop trying to
find our way around.

333 03 24 ii CDR I'm going to break this off for a moment for a
medical conference. I'ii be back in about
i0 minutes.

333 03 34 25 CDR No.

333 03 34 31 CDR Yes. This is the CDR back on - on the recorder

again with M0 - M487-2, proceeding on. Let's see,
we were talking about unanticipated problems, and
! _S ms_klng the point that in spite of all the
training we've had, we were still surprised when
we got here. There were quite a few reasons,
and most of them were not equipment problems.
There were some stowage problems. Things were
not stowed where they were supposed to be stowed.
We got ourselves into a mode of having to ask
the ground where everything was. In some cases,
the ground pointed out places - proper places
where they were stowed, and in other cases, we
Just had to look for the things until we found
them.
55o

333 03 35 25 CDR One of the most serious problems in activation

was learning how to restrain ourselves, how to
hold ourselves down in order to do a task. That's
something that you could only learn, apparently,
by experience. You could think about it and
anticipate it all you want _ but when you get up
here in zero g, it's a whole new world. And you
Just got to learn to get used to it; and it
takes time. So everything we did took two to
three times as much time as we thought it would
take. We fooled ourselves. We told the people
on the ground before we left that we were going
to take it slow and easy on activation, that we
weren't going to pay any time - any attention to
the time line, that we were going - not going to
allow ourselves to be rushed. We got up here, and
we let ourselves Just get driven right into the
ground. We - we hollered a lot about we were being
rushed toc much, but we did not, ourselves, slow
down and say, "to hack with everything else"; and
do things Just one after the other, like we said we
were going to do.

333 0B B6 28 CDR I guess that's a psychological fact that I Just -

didn't face up to on the ground when I felt
that _ could do it. Because we - we worked
hard. We tried real hard to get things done.
We m_de a lot of mistakes, and it was because
we were rushing around and we were having
difficulty getting ourselves properly anchored
down to do the Jobs we were doing. We - Also,
I think another thing that caused a lot of the
delays in activation was the fact that we were
being - trying to be extra careful with a lot
of things, and that took a heck of a lot of
time. Okay. That was kind of a dichotomy, really,
from what I was saying before - We were rushing
around. A lot of the minor, nitpicking stuff
we were rushing around; a lot of the more important
things, we were taking a whole lot more time on,
Just being very, very careful.

BSB 03 37 27 CDR Are there any common difficulties that can be

traced to the inadequacies of design, onboard
provisions, or preflight preparations? Well, I -
I think most of our probl_m= were called out
on the tape. At the moment, I can't think of
any specifies, but there are a lot of design
 551

problems that - that causes a lot of problems.

I think the handhold thing was one of them in the
MDA. It was very difficult to get around in
the MDA due to the lack of handholds. I think
up here in the - I'm sitting in the forward
compartment of the workshop at the moment, and
I 'm looking at the safe - the film vault. Now
that thing has got deep drawers and deep doors
and a neat restraining system outside, but I
wouldn't give you 2 cents for the latches that
hold the doors. And I would give you less for
the restraint provisions inside the drawers
where you got to put cameras and odd-size film
magazines. Now the restraint provisions for
35-millimeter and 16-millimeter and 70-millimeter
cassettes is neat. They're all very nice and
neat and orderly, and things slip in and slip
out and are nicely labeled, and everything is
in good shape. But we got a few drawers in there
in which we have to keep Nikons and things
like that, and there was Just no restraint flex-
ibility designed into these drawers. And you
end up Just putting things in the drawer, letting
r them float aroundand bump into each other,and
everytime you open the drawer, watch the goodies
fly out in your face. Bill Pogue has spent many,
many man-hours up here slaving over this vault
with cardboard and knife and scissors and tape,
and he is busy - has done a real fine Job of
fashioning the partitions in some of the drawers
in order to hold down some of the Nikons and
some of the other pieces of equipment.

333 03 39 35 CDR I think that in future designs of film vaults

and camera-retention facilities, that we should
really give a lot of attention to flexibility of
hold-down capabilities. Maybe what we need is
some hold-downs like the ones we're used - using
on the SMMD; that is, flexible rubber or Teflon
curtains that latch down. And you could put a
camera under the curtain and just bring the top
over and latch it down, and you've got a restraint.
That might be Just the thing you need in a drawer
for odd-shaped Nikon cameras with flash attachments
and all sorts of funny lenses onthem.

333 03 40 20 CDR Stowage in the spacecraft. Although there's a -

lots of lockers, ring lockers, dome lockers,
wardroom lockers all over the place, those facil-
f- ities are very nice. The problemwe have is the
 i-

552

man, and that is learning to put things back

where we got them. And the other man-problem is
to - keeping track of these things on the ground so
that when one crew comes down and the next crew
comes up, you can generate a stowage list that's
readable and understandable. The stowage list
this time, I Just don't think was quite adequate.
We have made a few inputs on how it ought to be
formatted, and the folks down there did the best
they could, I think. Maybe they could have done
more in giving us a better stowage book, but on
more than one occasion, we have looked up an item,
for instance, disposal bags or urine disposal bags,
and found out, oh gee whiz, there's 56 of those
rascals in E-699.

333 03 41 26 CDR Well, I don't give a darn how many are down in
the trash airlock, that the crews ahead of us threw
down the crash - trash airlock. What I want to
know is, where are the ones that are assigned
for my mission? And I find it very, very diffi-
cult to sort the wheat from the chaff when these
stowage books slavishly keep track of everything
that's down in the trash airlock. That is of no
interest whatsoever to the crew that's on board
and should never have been put in the stowage-
in the Stowage Book.

333 03 42 05 CDR What significant improvisations have been accom-

plished as a result of living up here? Well, I
think I've already given you the two most out-
standing ones. That is, Bill's work in the film
vault and, I think, my work in the - in the
organizing of a pantry as the two biggest im-
provisation jobs that we've done so far. I can't
think of any other that are any major consequences.
We have done a lot of minor improvisations. We
find that the foodbags that our overage food
came up in for the extra 30-some days with our
straps and buckles have become very, very handy as
little utility stowage bags. They're very handy,
and we've used two or three of them already. That's
about it aa far as improvisations are Concei_ned.

333 03 43 13 CDR The environmental elements of habitability, such

as lighting, noise, temperature, h11m_dity,
airflow, and all that, I think, have been sur-
prisingly good. The temperature has been quite
comfortable and quite level. Only during the
 553

very high beta angle have we found certain parts

of the workshop walls to be quite hot and to
radiate quite a bit of heat, but there seems
to be enough airflow to keep - to keep things
reasonably well under control for normal beta
angle ranges. The noise - I'm surprised at how
little noise there is in the spacecraft. The
only noise - noisy place, really, is up in the MDA.
There's quite a bit of noise up there. But in
the orbital workshop area, it's extremely quiet
and very comfortable place to be. It's Just all
the different pumps and everything up in the MDA
that make all the noise, and it's Just about the
same noise level or possibly slightly higher
than the noise level in the eo_,,Rnd module.

333 03 44 24 CDR Well, that's about all my comments for now. As

I think of other comments along this area, I will
make those comments on tape. And I will try to
remember to call M487 as a reference on this so
that you can add that data on to this data.

333 03 44 44 CDR This is the CDR with end of report.

activities. And if you go on down the line, you'll

333 14 55 h0 PLT Okay, this the PLT, GME of 14:56 - debriefing the
ATM pass starting at 14:01 and ending Just a
moment ago at 14:55, approximately. A very re-
laxed pass. I appreciate very much you giving me
one like this to start out with. I think every-
thing was nominal. I didn't notice any errors,
and I gave the TV downlink as per cue card, with
a couple of little extras thrown in. I tried a
3-second INTEGRATE. Since thecontrast - or the
difference between the 2-second and a 4-second
INTEGRATIONs was considerable, I threw in a couple
of 3-second INTEGRATIONs right there at the end.

333 14 56 46 PLT Everything else was - The - the only thing that
was not nominal was, I didn't quite understand
how to terminate a CONTINUOUS 52 MODE; and Ed
Gibson explained that to me. However, I think
I got one frame on the 52, toward the end. I
had it figured out, I wanted to end up with 7526,
 _55

but I didn't know at what indication of FRAMES

REMAINING to hit the STOP switch; so you may have
one bad exposure on S052 there. The FRAMES RE-
MAINING is indicating 7525, but I don't know
exactly where it is in the cycle.

I shot some pictures over Lake Erie, I think,
mainly on time.

333 15 50 33 CDR Hold on for a minute. Let me sort all the exposure
numbers, and I'll be back with you in a minute.

333 15 56 00 CDE Okay, this is the CDR again at 15:56 Zulu on hand-
held photography. As I mentioned a moment ago,
as I went over - Stand by. As I went over Lake
 556

Erie and Lake Ontario, it was very difficult to

tell what lake it was because of cloud cover. How-
ever, I could see that there was water coming up
underneath me. So based on time, I took two sets
of stereo photos with the 55-millimeter lens on
the Nikon. The f-stop _ras 8 ; the shutter speed
was 11250.

333 15 56 46 CDR The first pair were taken at about 15:40, and the
next pair were taken at about 15:42. And I tried
to space each of them about 45 seconds to a minute
apart. I guess it was more like 45 seconds apart.
The frame numbers were 51 and 52, 53 and 54. At
15:45, I began looking for the laser, which is
handheld target number 170-2. I never did see the
laser; so finally, at about 15:46, I - I took two
desperation shots of the general area with that
300-millimeter lens with Nikon _ with the CX19 film.

333 15 57 37 CDR The f-stop was 8, 300-millimeter lens, 11250, and

the frame numbers were 55 and 56. And again I got
no sighting. At 15:47, I swapped lenses back to
the 55-millimeter lens, and I was already getting
too far oblique from the cold-air convection clouds
over the Gulf Stream. They were very, very appar-
ent. So what I did is, I started at the northern-
most end and I took three photos, one right after
another, moving from north down to south. Those
were frames n11mber 57, 58, and 59.
333 15 58 18 CDR Out.

333 15 59 02 SPY SPT at 15:58. ATM operations, building block 24

initiation. It took a little while to get set up
for it. First of all, I got the - ... the GRATING
off to 1941 to look at m_gnesium X on DETECTOR 3,
and I got a hotspot of around up to 12 - up to
1200.

333 15 59 33 SPT This was right next to the neutral line, between
a neutral line and the spots, and I think it is
precisely what was called out for. I - If it does
flare - the flare goes in that region, I will still
be on top of a good part of it.

333 15 59 55 SPT I also had the slit parallel to the neutral line,
and it's - it covers a fair amount of the plage,
as much of the linear portion of the plage as possi-
ble. I'd say, maybe about a half of the slit or
 557

so is covered with plage. S056, I started in the

ACTIVE, LONG - I'm sorry; the AUTO, LONG. And I
can change that to AUTO, SHORT if we get a flare.
S054, I've given them a 256 EXPOSURE, as we ne-
glected to do so on the last one.

333 16 00 40 SPT And now I'ii be standing by for - for future activ-
ity on that.

333 16 00 50 SPT The question which enters m_ mind right now is that
this morning I was told that because we might be
stuck in FILTER 5, that we required the 256 EXPOSURE
except for flares ; and although I think it's prob-
ably fairly clear, is there any reason to want
to leave the exposure aimed at 256 as opposed to
going over to 64? I'll probably ask that, air-
to-ground, right now.

bright points in the area around 87 - 87, 89,
93, and that emerging flux region.

333 16 07 24 SPT They all appear pretty much of a uniform level.

That is, if I change the brightness on the scope
or INTEGRATE with the XUV M0N INTEGRATE switch,
they all show up pretty much at the same level.
I think if any one of them breaks significantly,
that would show up. It is going to require, how-
ever, a fair amount of time with your eye glued
to the persistent image scope in order to pick
it off. The scope itself, however, had got al-
ready three - three locations which appear slightly
burned in. They're easy to distinguish from -
from other spots; however, there's Just a slight
decreasing intensity above the normal background
levels. I suspect it's probably from an active
region that we worked with yesterday.
558

333 16 08 24 SPT Apparently, this scope is very sensitive to that

kind of thing. And we'll try and - try and keep
the intensity down at all times. That's no
problem in the building block 24 because that's
the way we'll be operating.

333 16 08 58 SPT When I set up for this JOB, it took a little bit
longer than I had anticipated. One is, I went
to 19hl. I got a GRATING POSITION of 200, and I
had to get back to zero; so I went around to 1941
and DETECTOR 3 to find the brightest point that I
could in the active region 87, then came up with
an intensity between l0 and 1200. It was right
next to the neutral line. I was able to roll the
slit parallel to the neutral line, and I would
say 50 percent or so of the slit is covered with
bright plage. In those 55 operations, of course,
there's always that slit center, line 10, step 32.

333 16 i0 i0 SPT SPT out.

333 16 i0 29 SPT SPT again at 16:10. One thing which would be useful
here is to have a numerical readout which we can
depend upon in order to help trigger us to taking
a little closer assessment on the image scope. It's
impossible to watch this thing for 30 minutes
straight ; I think eye fatigue will get to you.
But you do end up looking at it about every
15 seconds out of every 30. If we had a number
or s/,im_num count which we could consider as back-
ground and then start to watch that, I think that
would be another clue. We're watching BERYLLIUM
APERTURE POSITION. That helps, but a numerical
readout will probably give you a - a rise a little
bit earlier. It can detect it.

333 16 ii 22 SPT Right now my ALUMINUM COUNT is going from 3.6 to

3.4, and I'ii be watching that. Think it would
be useful for the ground, though, to - to give us
some words on how useful that type of display would
be, even though it is in the south directory.

333 16 ll 39 SPT SPT out.

333 16 17 40 SPT SPT at 16:17, building block 24. The use of the
image scope, I think, is going to be a valuable
tool. I can look at the ... integration times
now, look at the intensity leading - I should
say intensity wheels, as you will, leading out
 559

from active region 87. And I don't want to imply

I'm really seeing interconnections, but if these
wheels are the indication of it, then perhaps I
am. I can see one going from 87 or towards what
apparently is - well, it's one halfway between
87 and the limb. I'm not sure whether that's -
91 and 84 are both, it's supposed to be right on
the limb, but it's one which does show up in your -
H-alpha, also.

333 16 19 27 SPT Yes, that one is probably active region 91.

333 16 23 09 SPT SPT at 20 - at 16:23. And looking at the stream-

ers, if you will, or wheels of intensity coming
out of active region 87 on the persistent image
scope, with about a 1-second-duration integration.
I believe I can see what might signify connections
between 87, 92, and even one leading off to the
region towards 91 - perhaps even a little higher
than 91. There's a fairly diffuse area of bright-
ness which is slightly northeast of 91, which it
appears to be leading off towards. But I do
think I can get a pretty good handle on the in-
tensity connection in XUV, between 87 and 92.
Now if I could get some good coalignment between
the XI_MON, which I could do with the crosshairs,
and H-alpha l, I think I have a pretty good tool
here for looking at connections between active
regions.

333 16 24 56 SPT SPT out.

333 16 27 18 SPT SPT at 16:27. In looking at the XUV monitor and

the integration, I can certainly see the effects
of atmospheric absorption. Once we got around -
below 2 minutes remaining, even with excessively
long integrations, I could not get any intensity.
And after - or any significant intensity. And
after 1 minute remaining, I could not get any -
hardly any intensity at all.

through two frays, approximately 1 minute, Just
two or three frames. It was hit right at - I
hit the STOP as soon as the FRAME count REMAINING

frames number 60 and 61, out of cassette number
CX19. Covering the snow cover over U.S. central
plains, frames 60 and 61, and I did see melting
patterns that appeared to be more or less grossly
associated with areas. There was one near what
appearedto be a town, an area - sort of a diffused
area that appeared to be melted better or more
than another area.

333 17 19 58 PLT I wasn't able to associate it, however, with any

particular geographic feature.

33B 17 31 14 SPT SPT at 17:S1. ATM operations. We're in building

block 4A - correction, now it's 4B, and the
pointing was chosen for a maximum on magnesium X
at 3364, looking at DETECTOR 1. And I got a
maximum INTENSITY of around 600. I found that
scanning across the bright points of active
region 87, I did not find any real pronounced
peaks, as I have previously. I'll take a look
at it again in oxygen VI when I get the pointing
for 4B and 4C. I suspect a few more pronounced
peaks there. The 82B slit is parallel to the
neutral line, and I would say about one-third of
it or so is covered with bright plage in H-alpha.

333 17 32 26 SPT SPT out.

333 17 39 40 SPT SPT at 17:39. ATM operations, building block hC.

The pointing here was obtained by using oxygen VI
on DETECTOR 3, and I reached a very localized peak
of about 3/1000. It appears that it's a region
which is - of bright plage which is substantially
removed from the neutral line, although my pointing
is still parallel to it. I would say l'm probably
about i arc minute away from the neutral line.
 /_ 561

And because of a very localized peak that I had

seen in oxygen VI, I felt that it was worthwhile
I at least to roll where I was and then try to get
a uniform emission along the slit in H-alpha,
even though I feel that a third of it is crossed
P by plage. Just so that I get a few of the bright
points in the plage; this localized bright point
should dominate the spectrum. If you don't feel
this will be the case on 82B, please let me know,
and I'll change that pointing technique. I _did
not choose to change the - the roll because I
felt that I could most likely not get back to the
same point, as it did take a little bit of seach-
ing to find it.

the run with an INTENSITY DATA readout for oxygen VI
of Just 20,000, and at the conclusion of the
run and going back and looking at it without
changing the pointing, we're up to - cb-nge that
previous number to 2000 - we're now up to 2600,
a change of - increase of 600 over the duration
of the one GRATING AUTO SCAN.

333 17 5_ 01 SPT SPT at 17:5_. The point selected for building

block hD, h Delta, was one in which the intensity
had been changing quite rapidly. The - In H-alpha,
it now appears to be brightest point on the scope,
although it was not at the beginning. In oxygen VI,
DETECTOR 3, it started out at close to 20,000.
And I saw up to 50,000 on it at one time, and then
it came back down again to below i000. It still
is the brightest point on the scope. I delayed
in starting the GRATING AUTO SCAN until I could
Just squeeze it in before hitting the ESS or _00 K
at the conclusion. That's so I could get some good
kind of history on that - changes in that region.

Unfortunately, I only had DETECTOR i, 2, and 3

thesame time. I

333 17 55 26 SPT I did not notice any significant increases in the

ALUMINUM COUNT. The change in the BERYLLUIM
APERTURE POSITION, although the PMEC count did
fluctuate quite a bit, it's now around 400 or
so. Again it's hard to tell whether we have -
within the anomaly or one of the horns. It's ...
find out our spacecraft position, which I'm
sure at present. I think a number associated
with the aluminum or any other digital readout
which would be reliable outside - or inside of the
anomaly would certainly be useful in instances
like this.

333 18 04 ii PLT This is the PLT with a note for M487. I was just
trying to arrange my EREP Site Book for the first
EREP pass, and I had brought to - home to me once
more Just how bad the rings are we use on all of
our checklists. All three rings in this EREP
Site Book came loose of their own accord, and all
the pages came loose and free. Now I understand
that there was an 18-month NASA study to try
to find a new kind of ring for our checklists.
Now it seems to me that a simple thing like that
ought to be sol - able to be solved. But these
things - the big lug on them, the big - the hinge
point - It makes it very difficult to use them
because it very easily works itself to the inside
of the book, but it's very hard to get out. I
Just want - We were tasking about foot restraints
and mobility restraints and everything, and this a
problem akin to it. I would like not to see this
 563

problem hidden because it's a continual irritation

in managing paper work and Could cause you to lose
an EREP site. I'm right here now holding an
entire EREP Volume 2 Site Book that must have -
It's about 2-1/2 inches thick, and all the pages
are loose simply because those darn rings keep
coming loose all the time. If you put shrink
tubing around, then you've destroyed the flexi-
bility. Someone has removed the shrink tubing.
And the - the rings Just come loose on their own.

333 18 05 54 PLT I want to emphasize the fact that the present

rings that we're using are unsuitable, unsatis-
factory, and downright sabotage as far as the
crewman is concerned.

333 18 08 06 SPT SPT; 18:07. Debriefing the last pass on ATM.

I think most of it's been covered real time during
the pass; however, one thing which I did exclude
was that while I was watching the point brightening
in - on H-alpha and oxygen VI, I had not set up
the XUV moniter to follow it because I was busy
with one or two otherthings at the same time.
When I did look at the XUV monitor it was after the
peak in oxygen VI. Oxygen VI was down to -]most
the normal plage level; so that we should not
conclude that I could not see that type of point
brightening in the XUV monitor. I was Just not
on - looking at it at the right time on this pass.

333 18 09 03 SPT SPT out.

333 18 12 51 SPT SPT at 18:12 ; for the FAO. I think in the future,
for planning Earth terrain camera ops, we ought
to put the changing of filters in the prep or in
the earlier mag change because when you come
whistling on down here and expect to do Earth
terrain camera ops and then have to remove the
whole camera from the airlock and change filters,
that's a pretty time-cons1_m_ng operation. What
w_ ought to be doing when we come dow_ here is
getting set to run the pass and not changing the
gear around; so in the future, I wish filter
changes would be put well preceding the actual
operation. This particular case I happened to
work out because I had got the housekeeping done
early and came over here and Just happened to look
at it. But in the future, that might not be the
case.

looks good up here.

CC Copy.

333 19 16 33 PLT Nice sandy beach down there.

CDR Figure out where we were?

PLT I thought it was Porto Alegro [sic], but I'm

not sure.

CDR Uh-huh. Looked to me like we were kind of going

along the coast instead of perpendicular to it.

PLT Yes. Is it - It was - it - We're - we're turned

up at an odd angle. You see?

CDR I see.

PLT Because we were doing this, solar inertial. I

don't know. I wouldn't put any money on it.

CDR Is this our pass here?

PLT Yes, but it's close. It's been shifted.

CDR Yes. There it is now.

333 19 17 ll CDR Well, that - that rectangular pattern you saw

must have been the wheatfields we were looking
at yesterday, right here at Asuncion.

PLT Could have been;

CDR Asuncion.

PLT Some 190 stuff.

 579

CDR - - 190 data on that same stuff we took handheld

photos of yesterday.

PLT Very likely.

PLT Okay.

CDR H_k, will you make a note of that?

333 19 17 36 CC Say again.

CDR If our groundtrack is correct, part of our S190

data was the Argentinian wheatfields, as part
of the - the wheat study. And I think the PI
for the wheat handheld photos, Earth observations,
will be interested in the data.

333 19 17 59 CC *** we copy.

CDR Yes.

PLT Give them an up on that. Boy, they did a good

Job.

CDR Sure did. That's a good piece *** training.

333 19 19 31 PLT Okay, I'm going to wait on that S009 because I'd
get right in your way. B.ut will you help me
re *w* that?

CDR Yes•

PLT Okay.

333 19 20 05 CDR Houston, Skyiab.

CC Go ahead.

CDR Okay, Hank, when I was doing a THERMAL ALIGN on

S192, I wasn't able to improve very much on what
Bill had. In fact, I wasn't able to improve on
it at ,11. Are the people down there concerned
 580

that - that S190 could be better aligned, therm-

ally? If they are, I would request that they
give us an hour some day, and I'd be happy to go
back and twittle with it some more and see if I
can't get it better than 41 percent. But it's
going to take time. I spent about B0 minutes at
it during the prep for this EREP pass. And I
almost - I -Imost scared myself, rem lly, because
I was getting so - getting behind and I was afraid
I wasn't going to get things aligned back up
where they were in time for the run. I'd like -
I'd like a good hour sometime to sit down and
fool with that thing if they think we can improve
the alignment any more.

333 19 21 06 CC Okay, we'll put that in the mill. And do you

have your visual readings?

CDR Yes, I sure do. Hang on. Let me - let me get

them out here. Did I give you the thermal
readings?

CC You said 41 percent.

CDR Okay. Okay, the visual readings are 86 percent

and 64 percent; 86 on the left, 40 - correction,
64 on the right.

333 19 21 43 CC Roger. We copy. And we're about 40 seconds from

LOS. We've got a long LOS here, hour and 5 minutes,
and we'll be at Goldstone at 27 - 20:27. And while
while you're sitting down there, if you get a break,
break, the only thing we could figure now is to re
reverify the connections on that downlink box.

CDR Okay, we'll sure do it. We'll check all the way
around.

CC One more item. During the nightside pass, we

would like for someone to select EXPERIMENT
POINTING. If you don't get it during the night-
side, the H-alpha operation won't do - be auto-
matic, and you'll have to start it yourself during
ORS.

CDR Okay.

582

333 23 02 48 CDR This is CDR at 23:03 Zulu; subject is S183. The

first set of exposures was 000,000 at 1260. The
way I see it, that looks like about 20 minutes
of exposure on this first field which is field
number 129. Since I was unable to get the
sequence started until 22:54:30, it appears to
me that we will not have an opportunity to get
field number 130 done on S183. I think the
biggest thing here is it was a planning problem
again. I was up on the ATM until sunset and then
had to whistle down here, and I don't think you
had enough darkness allowed, you know, available
for - for both passes. Your first exposure
probably should have been less than 1260. I'm
Just standing around now waiting for the EXPOSURE
light on the S183 instrllment panel to go out, and
I am prepared to terminate the exposure early
if necessary when sunset is at - correction,
when we have sunrise at 23:14. It looks like
it's going to be nip and tuck even on the first
exposure.

333 23 04 II CDR CDR out.

333 23 04 53 CDR This is the CDR again on the tape recorder at

23:05. I am a bit confused by what I see on the
S183 instrument panel right now. The 1260-second
exposure, ntmlber 3 is still going on, but I see
the PLATE has now automatically advanced to
plate number 2 and plate number 2 was the plate
to be used for the sequence. I'm a bit confused
by what 183 is doing right now. However, I'm
Just going to play it straight and when sunrise
comes I'm going to terminate whatever exposure
is going on.

333 23 07 48 CDR This is the CDR again on S183. The time is

now 23:08 Zulu. You might be wondering what the
time situation was here, and why I was so late
 583

getting star ed. The ATM pass terminated at

about 22:39. I had a nu z correction calculated
when I came down to S183. I began right on the cue
card for S183 ops. I had no problem at all,
until I got to the point where it said: Advance
p the film carrouselto the desiredfilm plate.
When I configured the SA control panel, the
plate came up 04 and so I put it in RESET. And
I didn't time it, but I think it took on the
order of i0 to 12 minutes for it finally to
get started and start cycling through its plates
and finally get us back to plate number 1. That
took a great deal of time. Then I opened the
SAL door, verified - extended the mirror, set
in the TILT/ROTATION per the pad, set up the
recorders, and got things started and that's
Just about how long it took. We got it off at
about, as I said- as I said before, 22:54:30.

333 23 22 13 CDR This is the CDR at 23:22 Zulu with a debriefing

from the last ATM pass. That last ATM pass being
the one that started at 21:48 with a JOP 6,
step 2, building block 32. The building block
was carried out normally, then we switched over
to observing and then back into building block h
Bravo, step 2, at h4 minutes to go. The - I
tried to head up m_ pointing in such a manner that
I would not have to change in building block 36
going from step A to B and it worked out pretty
well. From 36A I did - I pointed at the - limb -
upmost end of the filament and I had the slit
fairly well lined up along the filament although
we did not use the slit during the building block
so that for part B Or steps - building block 36,
step B, I had the H-alpha 1 also pointed at a
dark area of the filament, which is about halfway
down the filament from the limb end of it.
There were no special comments on the building
block 36; it all went reasonably normal. During
the observing time, I noticed in XUV that a
bright spot was on the build - it was - I noticed
from the Polaroid picture taken this morning
by Ed Gibson and Just looking at the XUV at the
584

beginning of the - of this period - the first

observation period A I noticed this bright area
was beginning to get brighter. And it's located
at approximately 320 degrees at 0.3 radius.

333 23 24 26 CDR It's pretty much near the northern end of the
filament number 40, as best I can tell. The
spot is almost as bright as the three spots out
on the eastern side of the - correction, the
western side on the Sun; that is, active regions
87 and 92. It's not as bright as the XUV spot
which corresponds to active region number 91.
This particular bright area in XUV was much
smaller than the active region spots 87, 91, and
92. H-alpha - I noticed that active region 92
now seems to be the brightest piece of active
region - the brightest active region in the
entire Sun. I took a look at all three active
regions, 87, 91, and 92 with DETECTOR 3 of
S055A and for 92 I got a count of 2000; for 87
and 91, the count was down around 1200 to a
1000 ; that's on DETECTOR B. The white light
coronagraph, in accordance with your comments in
the SAP, you said you were expecting big things __
to happen or at least the possibility of an
eruption with resultant coronal transient. I've
been really watching the white light coronagraph
very carefully.

333 23 26 05 CDR There is one rather noticeable linear streamer

going out from the solar disk at about the
location of that - of that filament, and it's
quite plain in the photograph that was taken
this morning by Ed Gibson. I'm sure he's
already mentioned that particular streamer as
being straight, narrow and - and reasonable
prominent, but as yet there's been no indica-
tion of any kind of an eruption or coronal
transient of any kind. That pretty well covers
it.

333 23 26 46 CDR I'm now in the observing time in the next ATM
pass. I'm due to pick up on building block -
correction - JOB 2A, building block 36 in just
about l0 minutes. And in the meantime, I am
looking again at the white light coronagraph.
I see the same friendly straight streamer radi-
ating outward from about where filament 37 is
located. I see down where active region 84 is
located there's a brighter streamer and there's
 585

another streamer that a]most bisects the two,

which, my guess, probably comes from - I guess,
probably prominence 31 or filament 35.

333 23 27 42 CDR Again there doesn't seem to be any significant

change in the white light coronagraph since the
F last pass. Dialing up the XUV again and looking
at it with integration, the bright area that
I've been talking about at 320.3 is not yet
bright enough to manifest itself in the ambient,
that is, without integration. As I look at the
XUV MONITOR now, I can see active region 87, 91,
92, and 84 without any problem at all. The
bright spot over there that I was talking about
is not really discernible until you hit the
INTEGRATE switch. At that t_me, you pick up
that bright spot plus another bright spot on
the limb which, according to the SAP, I believe,
you called active region 76 coming back over the
limb. And that 's about it.

333 23 28 53 CDR As I turn down the brightness on the H-alpha, I

can see that active region 91 is still - correction,
92 is still the hottest one of the bunch. However,
91 is now givingit a good run for its money. 91 has
one rather bright little area in it and active
region 87 seems to be picking up some, too.
They're getting much more closely to the same
intensity at this time. That's about it for now.

isn't - doesn't mean they cannot be improved.
And one of the problems that we have with them
is getting them off. It takes an awful long
time to get them off and get them on; it's
awkward. I don't think the lacings that we have
on these shoes is the answer. It's awfully time
consllm_ng taking them off and putting them back
on, and we have to do this several times a day
5_

because of medical experiments or one thing or

the other. Working out, when you clean up, at
random - probably putting our shoes on and
taking them off - probably four to five times a
day. And the lacing gets to be an irritation.
And it 's time cons_m_ ug.

332 23 52 37 PLT Another point on triangle shoes, of course, is

wear, that you've already heard about. The toe
caps have been inst_led on the CDR's and the
PLT's. They seem to be working okay, but we're
also chafing the heels of these things, and I
don't know why, but the back - up the back of
the shoe. Third point is that the triangle slips
along the groove, and I think - any - if we go
this way in the future, one of the things that
would be very useful would be to have some kind
of toothed or toothed track which would hold -
tend to hold the thing firmly to keep it from
slide fore and aft, sad then the - the little
wingnut that we use would not have to bear the
full brunt of the stress that's given to the -
the triangle cleat part when you move around.
You can tighten it as tight as you can with the
channel-lock pliers, and in about a day, they're
loose again. So, there needs to be a - a better
method of keeping the triangle from moving.

333 23 53 40 PLT Second unrelated point, but still I - in the way

of restraints, is that - again the drawers and
the poor design of the drawers that we have. In
the food compartment, the pudding drawer is
completely inadequate. The puddings are always
floating out of their restraints and getting
upended when you pull the tray out to put on top
of the food preparation table or the trays to
heat food. The puddings all come floating out.
The tray is required to restrain the puddings
in the tray there - that is reserved for pudding.

333 23 5h 16 PLT Another point is - I mentioned yesterday in the

Mh87 about the difficulty in restraining the
pieces of paper - managing the pieces of paper.
One of the things that we - we found that would
be - of course, clips are very nice, but once
they're off of the counter bungees, it's very
useful. However, when you're using the bungee,
you Rlmost have to have a convex curved surface,
so that the bun - bungee or rubber band or what-
 _ 587

ever it is, is stretched across a slightly curved

surface. Or else the friction is lost, and
we've lost - temporarily lost a lot of pads this
way, by putting the paper under the spring, and
the paper will float free. If the spring's
stretched across a flat surface it tends to not
hold the paper as well as if it were stretched
across a curved surface, is something to bear in
mind any time you're designing a surface for
writing.

33h 00 13 21 CDR This is the CDR at 00:13 Zulu, termination of the

ATM day pass which started at about 23 - 23:15
or so. The assignments were mostly observation
in JOB 2A, step 3, with a building block 36.
There were no problems with the building block.
It went as planned. In the area of observations,
my little bright spot in XUV is still with us;
still Just as bright.

33h 00 13 59 CC Skylab, this is Houston, 1-1/2 minutes to LOS.

Next station contact in 8-1/2 minutes through
Ascension at 00:23. It's a 3-minute pass, low
elevation, but we'll talk to you there. In the
meantime, for the CDR, if he has a minute we'd
like you to go back down by S183 and determine
the actual exposure settings that are set in
on the three sets of knobs down there so that we
can check a little further on the situation that
you described ***

33_ 00 15 25 CDR Okay. This is the CDR again, back on tape record-
ing. Had to terminate to answer a question on
F_ S-bands. As I said before, my littlebright spot
in XUV at 320, at 0.3 radius was still there at the
end of the pass; rather small - probably a little
bit smaller, just as bright though, and never -
never attained enough stature to be able to get
through into the ambient XUV. I had to use INTE-
GRATE in order to see it. So it wasn't as bright
as the ones for active regions 87, 91, and 92.
White light coronagraph, nothing changed. The
same streamer radiation outward from about where
filament 37 would be. Nothing really new to
report there. I watched the monitor wherever I
could in order to keep an eye out for a coronal
transient, but no luck. H-alpha, during this pass
the - this three active regions 87, 91, and 92
kind of all rea - reached about the same bright-
ness. 92 looks like it's pooping out a little
bit and 87 is beginning - Looks to me like it's
dispersing. The tight - bright plage that we saw
so much of yesterday and early this morning is
now beginning to kind of break up, separate into
a few smaller white areas. And the particular
piece of plage, the bright spot that I chose for
this J0P 2A, step 3, was right next to the largest
sunspot.

We had, oh, almost, oh, 15 to 20 cells fairly
well defined over relatively clear oce - ocean
water.

334 02 57 23 SPT SPT out.

334 03 i0 54 CDR This is the CDR at 03:11 Zulu. The subject is

S183. I feel that I owe the S183 people a com-
plete recap of Just what all went on again on
183 during the day today. I think the data
that I passed to you was rather piecemeal. And
I think that the probl_ma that apparently have
occurred are worthy of - of recapping and - and
complete review. Okay. At about 20:25, I began
the 1 - S183 PR-1. That went essentia]ly with-
out any problems. I was rather surprised to see
that M151 wanted the frame rate to be 6 frames
per second. The estimated f_Im usage was 50 percent
but at 6 frames per second doing a PR-1 that's
_,,,ediately followed by a FI, Foxtrot India, caused
me to use almost the entire roll of film. I think
there was only about 5 percent left. I questioned
at the time the wisdom of using 6 frames per second.
And apparently I was right, but I didn't really -
I didn't mention it; I Just went ahead and did it.
It says in my cue card, "6 frames per second;" then
in parenthesis it says, "2 frames per second."
But I took that to be 2 frames per second if I'm
doing M516; 6 frames per second if I'm doing M151.
At any rate, film usage was _Imost twice what we
expected.

334 03 32 49 CDR The film inst_l] was no problem. I found the -

the canister and the DAC 140-foot cassette both
in their assigned locations, and I had no trouble
getting them install ed into the cameras. There
was no problem with the - with the carrousel at
a11, with the slide cover or anything like that.
It was all buttoned up nice and tight. The big
problems started when the operation started.

334 03 13 25 CDR And I guess the first problem we had was in

flight planning. We had an ATM pass scheduled
Just prior to the S183. Right after I did the -
the film install, I _mmediately went down and
did an ATM pass. The ATM pass terminated. It
592

was finished at 22:39 and I had not really read

ahead or checked ahead to make sure I had the
time. And sure enough, when I didn't do it, I
got caught. I finished the ATM pass at 39. I
did not even take the time to properly debrief
the ATM pass.

334 03 lh ll CDR I called Houston and got the latest nUZ, which
was 1.14 rather than the 2.2 that was on the
pad. So as I was moving to the forward compart-
ment of the workshop, I calculated the delta
rotation angle caused by the change in the nu z.
I calculated that to be point - plus 0.86 rather
than off the plus 0.9.

334 03 14 39 CDR Okay, I got down in the forward compartment at

about 22:40, 22:41, and immediately went into
the - the cue card under S183 op - operation.
I had figured my rotation on the first TILT to
be changed from 84.6 to 185.5. I checked the
lights off, configured the tape recorder switches,
found to my surprise that the LBNP, M092, was
going on at the same time. But after a quick --
check, we found that both experiments use experi-
ment recorder number l, channel Bravo. So I
assumed everything was okay on that data.

334 03 15 27 CDR I went to the SA control panel, checked the

configuration, found the configuration to be
proper, PLATE ADVANCE was OFF, SEQUENCE was in
STANDBY, so I turned the POWER switch ON.

CDR Then I looked at the PLATE. The PLATE was

reading 04. On the pad they wanted me at 01. So
I went to RESET, and that began a long wait period
while the machinery got around to starting to
move the plates. I would estimate that I had to
wait a 1511] minute or possibly longer. I know it
did - did not time it. But I waited an imnecessar-
ily - what I thought an un - not an unnecessarily,
but a considerably longer time than I expected.
Then the PLATE ADVANCE started advancing, and it
advanced from h up to about, I think it was 33 or
35; I wasn't paying that close attention to it.
The numbers didn't mean that much to me. I was
Just watching for 1 while rechecking all my connec-
tions and ma_ing sure everything was properly set
up. We finally got back to l; I turned the PLATE
ADVANCE, OFF. And then I opened the SAL door,
 593

verified TILT and ROTATION, rolled the mirror out,

set the TILT and ROTATION per the pad, and then
set the EXPOSURE switches up according to the pad.

334 03 16 50 CDR The pad said 000, 000, and 1260. Okay, then I
turned on EXPERIMENT 1 RECORDER to RECORD, operated
the DAC for 1 second at 12 frames per second, then
changed the DAC over to its new value, and did a
SEQUENCE, START. And a SEQUENCE, START was done at
22:54 and 30 seconds. And looking at my exposure
time of 1260 seconds, I realized that the exposure
length was going to be something on the order of
21 seconds - oh, correction, 21 minutes.

334 03 17 31 CDR Calculating ahead to sunset, I realized that I

was going to have to terminate at about 20 to
20-1/2. So I went ahead and started voice recording
the data - the film plate number, tilt, and rotation
and all that. When I got back to the instrmnent
panel, I found that after all the clicking and
bt,nping that the 183 does in its mode -beginning
mode there, that it had advanced the plate to
number 2.

_- 334 03 18 01 CDR So I Just let it go. I said, 'Well, something's

wrong, but the best thing I can do is Just go
ahead and let it do these exposures on plate
number 2 instead of number i." So I let it go on
until we reached sunrise time. At sunrise time
I terminated the exposure by taking the SEQUENCE
switch and going to STANDBY in accordance with my
pad which says in the remarks, "Stop exposure at
s_m_ise at 23:14 by placing the SEQUENCE, START/
STANDBY switch to STANDBY." I did so, and the
EXPOSURE light did not go off. However, the
machine started clicking and bumping again and
advanced to plate number 3 with the SEQUENCE
switch in STANDBY.

334 03 18 49 CDR At that time, I went ahead and retracted the

mirror and closed the SAL door and then headed
up for my next ATM pass which, by the way, was
to start at 23:15. So I whistled back up and did
an ATM - another day MT - ATM pass; and then I
came back down at the termination of the ATM pass,
after having debriefed it properly and debriefed
the pass previous that I hadn't debriefed. I
came down and I found the S183 still sitting at
PLATE 3 with the EXPOSURE light still on, and this
594

was some 50 minutes later; 50 minutes later the

EXPOSURE light still on. So I went ahead and
followed the re - went back over the complete
powerdown. Turned OFF the POWER, checked to
make sure EXPERIMENT 1 POWER was OFF, so I found
that the mirror was indeed retracted and the door
was closed and - and then left the - the area.

334 03 20 04 CDR And then shortly after that, I did a f_]m stow,
183 f_]m stow. I checked 183 film stow, got the
container out of the vault, went over and removed
the carrousel from the SA to stow. I was very
careful during the removing. I found that when
I put the carrousel in, it took a great deal of
torque to lock the carrousel into its locking
lugs. I found about the same torque necessary
to take it out. When I got it out and removed
it, I found one film plate hanging out at - I very
quickly pushed the film plate back into the hole,
closed the slide cover, put the film carrousel in
its rear cover and put it in F-tl0H. I'll be
right there, Ed. And that Just about covers the
situation. From then on, I put all the rest of
the film away, the DAC film, and broke down the _
S18B and stowed it and depressurized it.

334 03 21 ii CDR And that's where we stand right now. I'm con-
cerned, nlTmher i, about the advancing mechanism
and why it's not working poperly. And I don't
understand also why the plate was sticking out
even after I did an ADVANCE, STANDBY, and then
RESET, and advanced the plates a]] the way around
to 1 again. And then opened it up, and then
found the number 1 plate - I assume it's the
number 1 plate - hanging out. So that's it for
now. If you have any further questions, please
don't hesitate to either send them up on the
air-to-ground or send them up on the teleprinter,
and I'll be happy to answer them.

334 03 21 51 CDR This is CDR out.

334 0B 32 ii SPT SPT at 0B:B2. The subject is handheld photos

and observations on weather. Today I saw a - an
exceptionally smaS1 cyclonic weather system that
would - did not look llke a severe weather situa-
tion at RS]. But it was a very well defined but
relatively small; that is, maybe 30 or h0 miles
across, perhaps even maybe a little bit larger
 595

than that. And what surprised me is how well it

was defined and how thick the clouds there really
were in it. I'm wondering whether you have seen
them before, and, if not, whether this is some-
thing I ought to be taking handheld photos of?

334 03 33 04 SPT I was a little reluctant because I was waiting'for

the pass over Japan. It's a volcano, and I did
not have much film in the camera. It turned out
I only had one frame left which I got some
Benard cells - open Benard cells. But in the -
in the future, if we do see these relatively
small cyclonic patterns, which are well defined
in terms of the few stream lines of clouds in them
but not of any significant weather system, are
these of interest to you?

334 03 33 36 SPT SPT out.

334 03 33 49 PLT PLT with the ATM pass debrief. Okay, let's
start - I'll start by giving you FRAMEs R]_WAINs,
so I don't forget that. H-alpha, 14723; 56, 05434;
82A, 00171; 82B, 01564; 52, 07471; 54, 05291.
Okay, now to recap. We did a synoptic first and
_ that was step i Alfa and Bravo. But the - i Alfa
was executed according to the pad. I'll get the
pad out here.

334 03 34 57 PLT Okay, white light coronagraph looked sort of

blase, except for the one very thin, long-line
streamer that apparently is over the west limb -
correction, east limb. And other than that, it
looks sort of nondescript; just a few linear
features in the corona.

334 03 35 26 PLT On switching to 1 Bravo, I changed the pointing

but as you have already observed I did not repoint
because I had - I didn't notice it but this is why
80 - 52 does not start working in STANDARD. I
also wasted one frame in 56; I Just set it up
SINGLE FRAME h and started it. Also I didn't
see the ... on the JOP and I did a SINGLE FRAME,
NORMAL. 0nly 12 minutes is what I got; so I
may have fouled you up on that. When I saw that
I had started the 12-minute exposure, when I saw
what the problem was with 52, I just had started
it; hadn't noticed that it didn't - that it did
596

not sequence. I didn't notice my pointing. So

I waited until 56 had timed out. Then I tried
to match up 54 and 55 to operate the last sequence
of 54 and the MIRROR AUTO RASTER 55 to work with
a STANDARD sequence on 52, and that's how I ended
the building block 2A - 1A - 1 Alfa, excuse me.

334 03 36 37 PLT I think that's all that was really different there.
I did not get the full sequence of 52, and I did
the SINGLE FRAME 12 minutes in NORMAL.

PLT Okay, let's go to the JOP 2 Alfa, building block i0.

2 Alfa, building block i0 was executed nominally
so far as I can recall. I think everything
went all right there. I did get the two time
exposures of 82B. Just i0 seconds, or 40 seconds -
whatever it was it's what I got. I used the
AUTOMATIC SEQUENCE 8nd then for the observing, I
pointed to 80 -active region 87, filled the slit,
did a MIRROR, AUTO RASTER and then played around
with the INTENSITY DATA using - All the other
experiments were off.

334 03 37 37 PLT I found a hot spot with a detector that was regis- _
tering quite high, and then I thought I'd try a
GRATING, SCAN - didn't have enough time, but I
started one. I actually was getting much higher
intensity on DETECTOR 3 but didn't have that little
chart - Oh, there it is; now I see it. I slipped
over to DETECTOR I, peaked DETECTOR 1 in the area
of center slit, and did, oh, I think up to about
4000 - 3500 - 4000 on the GRATING before I started
going into atmosphere. And I think that finishes
it.

334 15 07 12 CDR This is the CDR at 15:07 Zulu. I tried for

circulation. The only part of the Great Lakes
that we could see was Just the westernmost tip
of Lake Superior. And there were no circulation
patterns in there that - that we could see that
really made - that were of any significance.
The rest of the lakes - Lake Huron, Lake Ontario,
Lake Erie - were all pretty well socked in with
clouds, and there were no opportunities for any
good photography. As we went over the Washington -
the Goddard site, we looked for the laser. We did
not see the laser beam again today. And as we
went out over Long Island, we noticed the acid
dump site that is right at the mouth of the
Hudson Bay, Just about 3 miles offshore - off
the Jersey coast, and I took a picture of that.
The camera was the Nikon, the magazine was Charlie

to emphasize the one thing which I did see which
was really outstanding was the prominence at about
070080, and it was well - well defined in H-ALPHA 1.
It extended for about 1 arc minute off the disk.
The northern portion of it was quite vertical and
then the looped structure to it connecting back to
the disk towards the south was also evident. And
it looks like it would be a good one for a promi-
nence study as I feel I could get the slit pretty
well filled with prominence material. I do have

ably *** southwest of - of the city - inside the
city limits first. Then I went - When I zoomed
in, I saw - I could see the city, then I - I faded

tracking. And when I lost it, I went ahead to

33_ 16 57 58 PLT Well, this is the PLT, debriefing on the VTS. I

got - think I'm running ... but I got - I got
both sites. First part of the data over Omaha
was in IMC because I couldn't convince myself I
had the town in sight, but I went ahead and had
the CAMERA, ON. So you should be able to pick
out the area. I think it was - oh, say, 3 - 3
miles from the center of town - southwest direc-
tion from the center of town. When I zoomed in
and saw that I was indeed over the city, I went
a little bit further to the west. And when I had
tracked to about - I guess it was really about
 609

minus 20, then I whistled up to pick up St. Louis

and I think I was almost to nadir by the time I
got a spot picked, but I tracked it for as long
as - -

334 16 58 55 CDR MARK. SiR1 READY light is on. EREP, STOP. Go

ahead.

PLT The nadir track went as per pad. The thunder-

storms - I got about three thunderstorms, some
overshooting tops and anvils. They will be in
the DAC. It - There weren't as many thunderstorms
as I had expected, but I think I got all that
were in the field in - in the track - in the swath
that I was able to cover. I took my l0 seconds
of DAC runout film out over the water - one over
clear water, another over cirrus clouds.

334 16 59 29 PLT PLT out. End of comment on VTS run.

334 16 59 40 CDR This is the CDR with cnmments on the C&D panel
portion of the run. One screw-up. At 50:43, I
activated S190 instead of 52:43. I put it back
to STANDBY. I think that resets the AUTO SEQUENCE;
_ and at 52:43,the proper time, I reselectedMODE,
AUTO. So I think what we ended up doing was prob-
ably wasting five or six frames ; that's about it.
If this assumption is wrong, please notify me
either on tape or the air-to-ground as to what I
need to do to reset the sequence on S190 if I
activate it too soon and want to reset it.

610

334 17 13 41 SPT Thank you. SPT at 17:12, ATM operations conclu-

sion of Z-LV pass. We have about l0 minutes
remaining. I set it up to look at the WLC as we
go into the sunset. And looking at it now with
5 minutes remaining, I see a lot of particles
going from up by the lower - left to upper right,
and I'm at a ROLL of minus 5400. That would
be going from the southwest to the northeast -
about one or so every l0 seconds, and they're
fairly large. All seem to be going in the same
direction .... must have a - the result of the
conclusion of the Z-LV pass.

334 17 14 59 SPT Okay, I'll try to give you a commentary again as

we did the other day, with no success, however.
But we're coming up on 04:25 -

334 17 15 l0 SPT MARK - remaining. And the problem the other

day was that our AUTO DUMP initiated before we
actually got the true sunset, so I did not see
anything as we counted down.

334 17 15 28 SPT As I understand today, the dump commence - is just

about at the same time as true sunset. So we'll
take a look and see what happens again. I got a
ROLL 54 - minus 5400 and on the east limb, we have
a very prominent streamer at about 08:30, fairly
wide at its base and the more diffused streamers
over on the west limb, with the ones at 4 and 2
being fairly prominent. The number of particles
crossing the display now have decreased. However,
they're still - still are there maybe once every 30
seconds. And it takes you around i0 seconds for
most of them to cross the display. Their velocity
appears to be quite uniform; 3 MINUTES RRMAINING.

334 17 16 35 SPT MARK. Display is unchanged.

SPT Going up to 2 MINUTES PS_4AINING. Particles now

are relatively small. Stand by -

334 17 17 35 SPT MARK; 2 MINUTES REMAINING. The display is un-

changed.

SPT i minute and plus 20 seconds.

334 17 18 15 SPT MARK. Display is unchanged. Particles still

crossing. Now they're coming from ... a lower
- edge to the upper; that is, from west to -
 611

east to west - west to east on the display. Okay,

display so far is unchanged at 50 SECONDS REMAIN-
ING. The particles that move across the disk have
slowed down.

334 17 18 57 PLT Now the transient time is more like 20 to 30

seconds. Okay, nothing. No change as yet. 15
SECONDS R_L_NING. Okay. Okay, at about 6
SECONDS REMAINING, coming in from my lower right,
I saw an increase in brightness, a general, de-
crease [sic] in brightness. I did not see any
definition to it. It was Just a general glow in
the edge at the lower right-hand corner which
would be the northwest quadrant. So I roll. I
gradually increased its size and the magnitude,
and it was not overly bright and did not burn
into the tube. However, as a precaution, I shut
it off with 3 SECONDS REMAINING.

334 17 20 29 SPT It does happen relatively slowly. You have to

have your hand on the switch. But _ do have a
time in which to see what's happening and to take
appropriate action. As a precaution, I did shut
it off at 3. I probably could have gone down
another second, perhaps 2. It was again Just a
general increase in brightness with no definition.
They're coming in from the lower right-hand corner.

TIME SKIP

334 18 29 16 PLT OkaY, it's the PLT reporting on handheld photo-

graphs. We had - we got six frames and one frame
wasted at the end with an inadvertent actuation
Of the electric. Frame 22 for this is an IR08.
Frame 22 is of San Salvador. The subject was
supposed to be fault lines, and I - Although there
was cloud cover, the reason I took the picture
was it had very good reflection off all the rivers,
sunglint off all the rivers. So it should be
easy to locate all of the - even the small trib-
utaries. Frame 20 - 21 was the Bay of Fonseca;
frame 20 was Santa Cruz. I took a - frame which
straddled the isthmus Just south of the Bay of
Fonseca and should get a pretty good coverage of
the volcano area string in there. 19 was sort of
a lark of - shot of the Panama Canal. 18 and 17
were both of Iqultos, Pero, with about - I would
Judge, about 4/10 - 3/10-4/10 cloud cover, but a
lot of the major topographical features were in
clear view as with most of the river vein patterns.

334 18 30 37 PLT That's about it, and then frame 16 was actuated
inadvertently.

334 18 32 07 PLT At 18:37:30 _MT [sic] I took an oblique photo of

an area in South America that has a lot of fires
burning that could have - some of them looked
like industrial origin, and others looked like,
probably, agricultural origin.

PLT Just east of Asuncion is the river Paran_.

334 18 33 42 PLT Okay. This is PLT at 18:33:05. Another IR frame

over Porto Alegro [sic], and it appeared to be an
accumulation of the smoke layer from those fires
I reported on previously, several hundred miles
away. Porto Alegre, I guess, is the name of that
area.
 613

PLT And the location is in Brazil.

33_ 18 36 35 PLT PLT with another c_ent. The photograph - IR

photograph we took of the area of smoke plumes
which we - which we didn't know whether _re
industrial in origin or agricultural is the same
area that Jet photographed the other ds_ which
is apparently of agricultural interest, and a
wheatfield interest and activity.

PLT And - Jer Just corrected me. That is considerably

east of that area.

334 18 45 19 SPT SPT at 18:35, handheld photo. Mag IR08, frame

number 13, taken of a low, counterclockwise
rotation - a clockwise rotation. The low was
very well defined with two frontal systems or
cloud bands coming off of them - coming off of
the center. The low-level clouds were remarkably
uniform in their texture. By that I mean they
were far from the low, very pronounced, closed -
closed B_nard cells. As we moved in toward the
low, they became elongated and finally came into
Just striations between the clouds. So this is
_ all a very uniform, very flat - a great deal of
definition to it, very uniform definition. That's
with the low-level clouds close to the center of
the low pressure area. The overlying clouds are
fairly thick and dense, associated with the frontal
system. I think what made me take this photo was
the remarkable texture of the low-lying clouds.

number - first 65, and we've been counting down
using the electric camera. When we took the first
one, number 65, it was taken at 16:46, and these
were sox_c of well-defined cloud streets over
northeast South America. They were taken during
Z-local vertical EREP pass. The Earth terrain
camera did not cover this particular area. It
was not functioning at the time. What made this
a significant photo was the large extent at which
these cloud streets were observed. There was a
very large arcing of the streets all the way off
to the horizon, and I would say it covered at
least a good 800 to - approximately 800 miles or so
long. Cloud streets were, of course, well defined
 614 ._

and general - general pattern was one of a slight

curvature of the total system. I was looking down
the streets as opposed to across them, and I think
this is fairlywell defined in the photograph.

334 18 49 18 SPT Frame number 64 of CX20 was taken of the mouth of

a river in northeast South America. I do not have
the time to look it up since we are running EREP
at the same time. And what rode this significant
was the fair amot%ut of sediment which was being
carried out by the mouth of the river and building
up the mouth of the river. It was fairly well
defined because of the clarity of the water of
the ocean contrasting with the water from the
river. Frame number 63, taken at 16 :53. Now let' s
go back and give you the time for frame 64; that
was 16:47. Frame number 63 at 16:53 was a band
of very large linear clouds. It looked as though
it was cloud streets, only in large dimension.
I have not seen clouds, except on a small scale,
lined up and so linear, and that's the reason I
felt this was a significant photo.

M131-2. The first question wants to know if I
experienced any degree of difficulty relative to
ground-based trials in ma_ng spatial orientation
Judgment. I must admit I did not have as much
difficulty as I expected. I thought it was a
little - quite a bit easier than I had anticipated
it, although it was definitely a little bit more
difficult to spatially orientate yourself in -
flight. I did experience some conflict in sensory
cues, particularly when I was in the - wearing the
otolith goggles - wearing the otolith, I should
say. I got the impression while sitting at zero-
degree tilt that -

334 18 56 50 CDR Roger; I didn't mean zero-degree tilt. I mean

30-degree tilt in normal - in the normal, upright
mode. I felt that I was - on occasion, I got the -
_ the definite feeling that I was leaning to the
right and forward. Although I managed to overcome
those feelings and still m_nage, I think mainly
through muscular sensitivity, to keep - to keep
the rod and the sphere fairly well set with my
internal cues. And my internal cues on the -
with the otolith was - it seemed to me to be
about the same. When - when we did the tilt and
I was trying to wind things up with the external
cues, I was surprised to find that I didn't have
as much trouble, that I m_naged to maintain in
my mind's eye where the external cues were and
work towards them. It was more in the - in the
upright position that I felt that I had this
little bit of pitch forward and yaw to the right.
I don't th_n_ any of my Judgments were influenced
by auditory cues or other enviromental factors
at all.

334 18 58 13 CDR I don't mean to overemphasize this pitch forward

and yaw to the right. It was rather mini m.1 , but
it was something that I notleed, and I thought I
wanted to make - make note of it. The line target
did appear stable and was under my control during
the settings. Right after the setting, if I sat
end watched it - did not _--,ediately close my
F_
616

eyes - I would get the impression that it was

rolling. It looked drifting a little bit in roll
and not necessarily one way over the other. It
just seemed to be random, and the drift was probably
only, oh_ 1/2 to 1 degree. But I did feel like
there was a very tiny bit of drift after I made
my decision that I did have the line target lined
up where I wanted it. Then I put my hands away
from it and while Bill was taking the readings,
I would get the impression that it was drifting
Just a little bit in roll, and that's about it.

straight, and it ran to the northwest, very clearly
defined, and this was the wake of the clouds. It

what was characteristic of them is a very uniform
pattern very much resembling what you might see in
a rug, the way in which a rug is woven together.
It was primarily linear but there were cross
features in it also. It was neither convective

thick layer of clouds with mostly linear features
with a few - few cross features in it. And over

334 23 18 06 SPT SPT at 23:18. Weather observation, in/out (music)

over ocean. Looking at what appears to be open
Benard cells. However, what's strange about these
is that only one side of them is filled in, so it's
- really a series of cusps. The other half of them
are not well defined. And really the other side,
in many cases, are Just the arcs of the adjacent
_ ones so it's Just a seriesof cusps. There is a
front adjacent to this region Which extends for
probably linear distance along the front of 300,
400 miles and maybe 100 miles to 200 miles from
front. The cusps are oriented perpendicular to
the front. By that I mean, if you Just took the
cusp and straightened it out, holding the center
straight, that line will be perpendicular to the
frontal line itself. Looks like a combination,
convection and something in - in toward the wind
flow out in front of the front, which is causing
it. The front is very sharply defined. There's
actually two layers to it. The first one, made of
relatively low-layer clouds with a slight amount of
cirrus on top of it, and then another stair step
up, about 100 miles behind that, of high cirrus.
And what's under that, I cannot tell. I do not
see any overshooting clouds tops. The front itself
is a very graceful, gentle arc covering up to a
1000 miles or so.

rather stratified. I could see no - I was too

no way to est_m-te anything about ash or anything
like that. If it is of possible [sic] determine -

think, in this particular case, they already know
what kind of an eruption it is. I would guess,
Just from looking at it, that it had to be a
sort of an ash type. It - Because that the smoke
was so white, I would guess that that's probably
all water vapor. And since this volcano is
s_ck-dab in the middle of a bay, it would appear
to me that there's probably a lot of subterranean
water getting into the vent somewhere down below -
well below the surface and being blown out in
the form of steam.

•_s one.

335 02 51 25 PLT Went over and got on the prominence; got what I
_d thought to be pretty good slit coverage. I
did not get all of the 82B exposure in. I set
zipthe timer for 16 minutes; had it running, but
11had to terminate it at about 1B minutes when I
• hit the ESS time. 82 Bravo, then, was a nominal
operation except that the exposure was shorter
than adver - than requested. I did not get -
I got 56 SINGLE FRAME 1 exposure, l0 minutes.
I think that was okay. Of course, I - I couldn't
get the - the second one in on that one. I don't
think I finished all of the MIRROR, 3 RASTER, but I
couldn't tell. I had all my attention diverted;
and, of course, the counter has so much noise in
it - difficult to tell.

335 02 52 16 PLT Okay. The nu z update was performed. I did get

that in. That was a very bad performance on my
part. And we were rushed on the ATM panel and
that's exactly what happened. And in consequence,
I Jeopardized a couple of the instruments. And
I guess the lesson that I learned from that is
that when it says, "If convenient," I'll take it
for its word. And if - if I have any question abo_t
it, I will not do it. But it did look like a
very good target to downlink on H-alpha, because
this new monitor we have is excellent. It was
clearly visible. I'm sure you saw it - If you
s_w it on downlink, you saw it was quite prominent -
(.-huckle) - pardon the expression. H-alpha - excuse
me - The MONITOR 1 showed it in H-alpha 1.
MONITOR 2, it did not even show it in H - in
M)NITOR - In MONITOR 2 in H-alpha l, did not even
exhibit the prominence. It was not even discern-
lhle. So that MONITOR 1 that we Just put in looks
like it's going to do a good Job For us. It is
picking up finer and fainter details of the Sun.

see if there's anything else I forgot here. I
only got one sequence of 5_ in building block 28,
because I could see I was going to run up close
to the ESS. And I already mentioned one exposure
in 56 only. And that completes the Monday morning
quarterback of that poor performance.

the southeast coast of Africa and - which is at
this time of day, is now looking at mid - to late
afternoon. The winds were coming in from the ocean,
and very evident was the convection through those
winds as they swept across the countryside. Right
at the coastline, the sin-t1 c_u/lous clouds
which were scattered but very uniformly distributed
became prominent the way they started right at
 628

the coastline and went in for a couple hundred miles

where they Just slowly tapered off.

SPT And I thought it was an excellent example of this

phenomenon, perhaps one of the best ones I've
seen. The clouds were uniformly scattered through-
out this whole region, and there was some small
amount of streamlining to this, indicating the
directional flow of the winds.

though that would be useful is if there is a series
of bedrock structures or series of interesting

in3tance, I noticed a good number of bedrock
structures about 2 to 3 minutes earlier than
s_Egested target time, and I held off taking pic-
tures until we got up to that target time. I
c_maot see far enough ahead to see when they're

335 17 58 53 SPT SPT at 17:58. Debriefing the _TC run on this

last Z-LV pass. Okay, it all went all right
except for two anon-lies. Number one: The lump
time when we came up on the Houston area, where
you had in the pad to change shutter speed and
frame rate, and at standby, I had to write in
_- shutter speed and they had frame rate written
in there. And at the bottom it also had auto.
But it did not have any time corresponding to
auto. Therefore, when I first saw the pad, I
tried to figure it out. And noticing we were
coming up on the Houston area, I finally concluded
that they wanted me to go to AUTO there, and per-
haps it was not an omission in the time column.
So, we missed the - part of the lead-in into the
Houston area, but we did get Houston.

335 17 59 52 SPT However, there was a second anomaly. And that

was the door on the clock was ajar, which I noticed
about halfway through the run. I needed to work
over on the right-hand side of the camera and did
not notice it until around halfway through the
run. So those were - well, perhaps two errors
on my part. I'd like to m-_e a note now to the
flight planners. Do not ever schedule S183 and
a ETC prep simultaneously. There was no way this
morning that I could get the ATM pass in, get the
ETC prep done, and wait for Jerry to get the S183
out of the window and all of the evacuations done
on the S183 equipment. I mechanically did get it
done, but what it cut me out of was the time to
638

both study the pad and to check over all of the

equipment. I was late starting the ATM and as
evidenced by the pass, I also did not check over
the ETC careiS;11y. The time which was taken
up with the 183 ops is the only contributing
factor although it was still an error on mV part.
Do not ever schedule 1 - S183 post - that's the
S183 postoperations and ETC prep simultaneously.

The water, itself, appeared on a Forel water scale,

was a contA_uate which appeared to be the oil

be about a very bright 8 or 9, a very bright green.
There was a very localized concentration of it

miles across. And then there was very widespread

patterns across the ocean, all along the coastline
that we could see by Argentina. The scale of the
network was - oh, I'm guessing now at about a couple
of hundred miles. Some - in some instances there
was just blowing wisps of it - wisp of the contam-
inate and in other cases it did resemble a net-
work. It looked as though the contAm_ hate had

time from the way in which it had spread out a-
cross the ocean. On the other hand, the one con-
centrating source which we looked at, looked as
though it was relatively fresh because of its
brighter color and relatively compact nature.
The pattern in the compact one was neither a

ations, J0P 4A, step 4, building block 28. The
subject is 37. I got some - I'd consider fairly
good pointing on this. I used Lyman beta at 0028
and maximized that. I found that there are - most
642

oi' the intensities throughout the H-alpha promi-

nence, which I can see quite well on MONITOR i,
ram around 100 to 150. There was one relatively
bright dot up in the center. As you'll see from
the H-alpha pointing, it's about 33 arc seconds
off the limb and a little bit to the north of center.
The intensity there was about 200. In moving the
slit up and down or moving H-alpha up and down,
tangent to the solar limb, the intensities did go
from 200 down to around 160 and back to 200. I
think I got pretty good pointing through the slit.
It is now parallel to the limb. I should say pre-
cisely parallel. And I'm using the LIMB POINTING
mode in order to give a little greater stability
to the mirror.

335 22 18 00 SPT And we are at a LIMB OFFSET of 33 arc seconds.

TIME SKIP

335 22 52 02 SPT SPT at 22:52 debriefing the last ATM pass, which
was 22:03 for the beginning. I a1_eady gave some --
im/'ormation on the pointing which was achieved on
the first buila_ng block 28, J0P hA, step 4. The
pointing was good; however, to start it off, despite
the discussion we had this morning with Bill Lenoir,
I managed to get myself to a ROLL of minus 2503,
ra%her than the one which was suggested in the
second building block of approximately 8000. So
I was essentially 180 degrees out. The data is
Just as good, but it was a little bit harder to -
to _ork the following building block.

335 22 53 i_ SPT Ok_. The first LONG EXPOSURE on 82B, the

16-Jminute WAVELENGTH, SHORT, went as advertised.
Went - it was right on and I used the pointing -
LI_3 POINTING to stabilize the mirror; and it was
at 33, and it held real well. Continued on with
82B thro11_ the remainder of the orbit. Okay.
The second one, which is a 37, also has two
exposures for 82B. And I see - I saw upon reading
it that additional time was allowed for maximizing
DE_r.CTOR 3, and I presume they must have meant
Ly_um beta. Oxygen VI gives a lot of limb-breaking
and would not be too good for that, as we discussed
before.
 6_3

335 22 54 23 SPT So when I got to that point, I realized I had

_1_eady m-_mized, aud for reasons I'll discuss
when I get to 56, I did not want to move the
pointing because I had an exposure going. I
elected to move the mirror in order to give them
a different location. So I stepped it out to -
to 39, and began the first LONG EXPOSURE there,
which was a 16-minute exposure.

335 22 55 00 SPT Correction, that was a - a 6-minute exposure. Okay.

At 39, we had the clock counting down and about
a minute and a half r_m-_ning, that's about h:50,
I noticed that the MIRROR was no longer holding
attitude. In other words, that 39 - it was Jumping
from 39, then back into relatively low niTmhers,
back in - out to 39. So I stopped the exposure
and went back to LIMB SCAN. Hope you can tell
from your records the duration of the t_me in which
that mirror was not holding attitude. It - I did
not notice it until that time, and I had checked
it a few times previously, but there may be a
part of that where it did move in. It had gone
in - when I was looking at it - to a distance
of, say,20 or so and back out ...

335 22 56 ll SPT Okay. So that exposure probably was not what we

were after, there, because it was not a precise
location. Although I think if you were averaging
over the - the prominence which was, as I pointed
out in scanning with the 55, fairly nni form, and
you'll be able to see from the MIRROR, AUTO RASTER
from 55 Just how nn_form it was. And whether that
particular exposure is of use to you, I'm not sure.
I certainly hope so.

335 22 56 h6 SPT Second exposure on 82B: WAVE.LENGTH, SHORT for

a 10-minute. That one, I elected to move the
mirror in a little bit so that it would r_mA_n
stable. I moved it in, and it got to - I think
it got to 38, rather than 39. I guess h0 is the
limit. I worked at 38 and gave a 6-minute ex-
posure. And I terminated the exposure because
of ESS, exactly at 3 minutes and 53 seconds
remaining. So you did not get the full duration
there.

335 22 57 27 SPT Okay, 55. 55 got what they were after in the
very beginning. The MIRROR, 3 RASTER - The
MIRROR, 3 RASTER, however, was preceded by two
644

GIh%TING, AUTO SCANS which came about because of

the old error which is normally made and I fell
into in leaving the GRATING REF switch into
MECHANICAL rather that - or in OPTICAL rather
than MECHANICAL. So we went twice around on the
GPATING before I caught up with it. But at the
time, we were pointed at the brightest point in -
or a localized peak in Lyman beta, so you got
scme good GRATING, AUTO SCANs, which is what you're
after in the second building block. And that was
at a position of 1032 ... the slit.

335 22 58 35 SPT The second building block, I did not change pointing.
I noticed what we had down here was two steps on
either side of sllt center _ud then one more further
out. I was able to get the two on either side of
slit center for you. I figure that the GRATING,
AUtO SCAN - two GRATING, AUTO SCANs which we gave
at the beginD_ng took care of the one at 1030, so
I _ave one at 1034 and one at 1028. However, I
did not get the one further out, which would have
been at 1036.

335 22 59 28 SPT Also, we had Just finished the MIRROR, 3 RASTER - -

I'i_ sorry, we have Just finished the GRATING, AUTO
SCAN, and I note that there is only three mirror
positions listed for that. Oh, I'm with - I see.
It is the same as - as what I Just mentioned. We
got two on either side with the previous GRATING,
AUTO SCAN and the - it's the one in the center
with the - correction, let's start frc_ the be-
ginning. We got the GRATING, AUTO SCANs at slit
eez_ter before we got MIRROR, 3 P44_TER, and then we
got two GRATING, AUTO SCANs, two steps on either
side of that. So the om/_ thing we lacked on that
is the one at 1034.

335 23 00 32 SPT Okay. The 56 is where I ran into a problem which

threw me off, and really didn't keep track of the
others as well as I would have liked to. And that
was that I did not tth-n CAMERA POWER, OFF in ini-
tiating the LONG EXPOSURE, so I got a - a straight
SIN3LE FRAME, LONG EXPOSURE on FILTER 1. Noting
thi_, I then gave them a 16-m_nute - I 'm sorry,
a 2-minute exposure on FILTER 1.

335 23 02 08 SPT Oks_t, correction, let's go back and look at 56

ag-'[n. They got a 14-mlnute exposure on FILTER l,
in ,_dition to the SINGLE FRAME, LONG EXPOSURE.
 645

This was followed by a 6-minute exposure on FILTER 2.

Both of those, I see, are in the - between the
minim_n and max/mum specified. So I believe,
although they were not exactly what Ken was after,
they did get them useful data. And that got three
PATROL, SHORTs in finishing up the orbit.

335 23 02 58 SPT So, in s1_,,.,,._y,

I think they got some useful data
out of it, except for the one frame - one exposure
on 82B which is questionable, but it was certainly
Intoning in an off-nominal manner. And I think
what I'll have to do in the future is to take more
time at the beginning of the orbit to read the
whole orbit to understand ... and where we are.
Because these - I think the two things - One thing
that really got me was trying to figure the 55 expo-
sures once I realized 55 locations, after I re-
alized that I was 180 out from where I should he.
And that distracted me from watching the other in-
strmnents, and I'm afraid it all got a little
unwieldly there.

335 23 05 58 SPT SPT at 23:06 with a question for S055. In scanning

of the prominence on the last orbit, I received
counts on DETECTOR B at a GRATING POSITION of
0028, corresponding to Lyman beta of 150 to 200.
I notice that the card which had been - The in-
formation on the card which was m_de up for me has
DETECTOR 3 with - should see something on the order
of 15 in a prominence with a background count of
3. And I'm wondering whether that n,_her is wrong,
or whether we Just happened to have an exceptionally
bright prominence. I think probably the former
is true. I'm wondering if you could clarify that
for me. Than_ you.

of all, the building block 2 was run as specified,
truncated at 6. A shopping list 2 item, number 2,
was run on active region 87; and now a shopping
list number 7 is in progress, one of those sug-

first the degree of difficulty relative to ground-
based trials in making spatial orientation judg-
ments. On internal, was no problem with the rod
and sphere. Externals were a little bit more dif-
ficult, did not have any feeling of being pressed
down on the chair. In a couple of instances, I
felt as though I was actually re - revolving and
pitching. What I did with my body was, you know,
it's strictly body geometry, which led me to make
the settings which I did. The - the line and
goggles - the otolith goggles, those settings
were - Internal was no problem. External still
was all body geometry, but I did not notice a
great deal of difference between that and the
ground; I did, however, with the rod and sphere,
I think.

336 01 ll 37 SPT Okay. Conflicts between sensory cues, particularly

when making Judgments with respect to the external
frame of reference. If so, please explain. Yes,
I already mentioned this. The first one -
conflict was, at one point I felt as though I was
rotating and tumbling, especially when I was
laying on my back. Just a very slow drift.
- Whereas I knew I was not - I made the - and my
body geometry told me something else - because I
knew I was - had my hands across my chest while
I was in the chair. The way I resolved it, of
course, was using body geometry, because I
realized the other was not true.

336 O1 12 21 SPT And at the same time, do you experience a positive

sense of the upright? It was tough to disassociate
this whole experience from that in the one-g
trainer. I find myself feeling for gravity.
This is done with a close proximity in simulation
doing this experiment here and in the trainer
in Houston. The environments are almost identical.
I did not feel a positive sense of the upright.
No. Were your Judgments influenced by auditory
cues or other environmental factors? No, I would
have say - say not. Did the line target appear
stable, under your complete control during the
settings? Yes. And if not, describe the ampli-
tude, direction, frequency, and approximate veloc-
ity of apparent motion - motion. There was none.
Additional co_ments and observations. MY own
opinion: you'll probably Just end up with a wider

opened the back, and there was still film in it;
so I have exposed part of that - first part of
that roll to light. I don't think that I slipped
the rewind knob out; I could have. However, there's -
that's not the only problem. I now can't get the
back closed; so I suspect a similar little problem
with interlock mechanism. I'm going to check it
out when I have time. That's Nikon 2, and the film,
part of which I exposed, was IR08.

336 02 18 56 PLT And I will troubleshoot the camera later, when I

have time, and give a report on it.

TIME SKIP

336 03 07 26 PLT PLT on channel A, giving approximately 3 minutes

of XUV downlink. Time is GMT 03:07:42. We're
coming up - powering up to do a J0P 6. The PMEC
started approaching flare. I had - I got approach
on that thing. It went up to as high as 550, I
think. And I had quite a lot of activity in X -
in X-RAY IMAGE display and looked in XUV for point
brightening. All three of us then started looking
at it. And I ended up making a - I - I'll call
that in the debriefing of this ATM pass.

PLT Okay, so we're having a few minutes of XUV MON

here, and then I'm going to start into JOP 2A,
step 6. I'll go through one more cycle of
integration.

336 03 08 31 PLT And the time is 03:08:36 now. PLT out.

336 03 13 31 CDR This is the CDR at 03:13 Zulu. At 03:07, I took

a handheld 300-millimeter Nikon picture of the
east cape, New Zealand, the heel of the boot. I
 651

had nothing special in mind when I took it - Just

the knowledge that there are very few pictures from
space of New Zealand. And only the toe and the
heel were available to us at the time. We didn't
get the thing set up quick enough to get anything
in the toe, but I did get the cape of - of New
Zealand. The magazine was Charlie X-ray 20. The
frame number is 44.

BB6 0B 14 19 CDR Taken at OB:07; f/8, BOO-millimeter lens, 1/500.

BB60B 25 58 PLT PLT debriefing the ATM pass. GMT is 03:26. Okay,
when I powered up for unattended, I checked all
the instruments. Noticed that I was getting a
lot of activity on the X-RAY IMAGE dissector. I
was getting PMEC counts above 500, consistently.
Looked at the XUV MON; did not have a point bright-
ening in the unintegrated display, but the H-alpha I
display showed quite a - quite a lot of activity
in active region number 87. I turned off corona-
graph and went over to look at it. And I spent
several minutes taking a look at the - what I
thought was a potential flare region, since down
on the pad it already had indicated it.

336 OB 27 OS PLT A sort of a nominal-type flare watch - hybrid JOP

- and so at least indicated that by the shopping
list Bl reference; so I took a look at it. Slewed
back over, but very meticulously set up all the
instruments to make sure I wasn't going to screw
it up. And then I started taking data at minus
5400, when I saw it - said well, I'll go ahead and
pick up. And I rolled to 10,800 on the second
sequence. Wide field of view instruments won't
be affected.

336 03 27 40 PLT It would have been all right, I think, except for
two errors in Judgment. One is, I didn't roll to
10,800; I rolled to 9800. The other was that I
should have not done the continuous sequence. I
cut it short at nine frames, but I think looking
back on it now, I think I would have deleted that.
Other than that, the - the thing was run nominally.
The 12-minute exposure on the 54 - in 56, SINGLE
FRAME 4, the timer didn't start when I hit the
switch, or the - Somehow or another the indexing
didn't work right. I think I got near ll-1/2 or
12-1/2 minutes. I was using the little auxiliary
timer that We carry around in our pockets.
 652

336 03 28 24 PLT Sometimes it has an ambiguity of 1 minute. And

when - I was going for 12, and I saw - I ei - I
either got ll-1/2 or 12-1/2, and that - that's the
anomaly on that one exposure. So JOP 6, step l,
was completed with - as - as briefed. The VTR,3
minutes of video tape, and I forgot to turn the
video tape recorder off. But I did give XUV MON,
and I did give several sequences of INTEGRATE. And
right now - Let's see, we're starting to go behind
the atmosphere. That PMEC is still hovering be-
tween 400 - around 400. Okay, now, JOP 2A, build-
ing block lO, was executed as per pad. Slit was
rolled - well - well, what I thought was adjacent
to a neutral line. I perhaps did get a little -
littler cooler ... in part of the slit, but I want-
ed to get the slit in the hottest part. And in
order to do that, the hottest part as I Judge it
¥
to be fr_n looking at the XUV MON and INTEGRATE.

336 03 29 35 PLT So I think I filled the slit probably optimally

with hot stuff. 54 didn't operate because we were
in a sort of a flare watch with - did sequence
PATROL, SHORT. Did one MIRROR AUTO RASTER, shut
it down, but with the intention of perhaps using _
1 or 3 for intensity. I did not do that; so I
didn't get any more data with 55. But there wasn't
much to that one. So I did tLke the two exposures,
82B - l0 second, 40 second. The nUzUpdate was
performed on time. And as I was watching the
active region 87, as we went toward darkness, it
looked like it was sort of powering down itself,
cooling down a little bit, because I_YLLIUM APER-
TURE at one time went from 4 to 3 and then, toward
the end of the pass, cycled from 3 back down to 4.

336 03 30 40 PLT So apparently, that region there, for the time be-
ing, is starting to cool down a little bit. But
it's no telling what it'll do next time around.
Let's see, very quickly. H-alpha frame count is
14373; 56, 05331; 82 Alfa, 165; 82 Bravo, 1545;

Let me wait until this other report's over.

CC - - and if you put them on tape, it takes us sev-

eral hours to retrieve the information.

336 03 40 39 SPT SPT; again reporting on the object which we sighted.

It was seen out the wardroom window at 03:25. The
line of sight was directly perpendicular to the
plane of the wardroom window. It was an object
which most likely was tumbling, as its intensity
varied with a frequency of around 4 to 6 - once
every 4 to 6 seconds. The peaks in intensity were
not the same - that is, uniform in time; so I
suspect that the object was tumbling in a random
- in a mode - that is, in a way which would not
always expose the same surface to the Sun and
reflect it off. At 03:30, it had moved up 30
degrees off our direct line of sight out the ward-
room window in the plus-X direction - correction,
that's minus-X direction as we look.
 655

336 03 43 00 SPT The motion in the wardroom window was towards our
heads or the 12 o'clock position as we're looking
out, and that would be in the minus-X direction.
The object faded away at 03:32 where we could no
longer see it and it was not reflecting light. We
had seen this object once before and most likely
probably won't see it again when we - now that we
are looking for it. Our question is, is it part
of the booster that put the Skylah workshop in
orbit? Most likely it is.

336 03 43 52 SPT SPT out.

336 03 48 17 SPT SPT at 03:48; subject, M133. In a previous discuss-

ion, I believe it was yesterday morning, on 133, I
mentioned the fact that, so far, all of the nights
which I have had with M133, the duration of the
sleep has been below what I consider to be my aver-
age and m_ required sleep. Apparently, this
has led to a little misinterpretation, and I would
like to point out that the reason this is below
sleep is because of the operational requirements
of the mission as opposed to the 133 itself. 133 -
It hasn't slowed me down in no way from sleeping.

836 03 49 06 SPT I've found only mild - if you want to call it -

inconvenience with the electrodes - electrolyte
which gets in the hair, but that is no problem.
I sleep Just as well with the cap on as I do with
the cap off. It was somewhat of an encumbrance on
the ground, but I found it to be no problem up here.
And if the mission requirements will allow me to
get a good 8 to i0 hours sleep, I am sure I can get
it with the sleep cap on Just as well as I can with
it off. I think it's a good experiment. I'm all
for getting as much out of it as we can.

336 15 58 45 SPT SPT at 15:58; ATM operation, orbit beginning at

15 :04. Building block IA went nominally, no prob-
lem. I was in the - executing IB and in the
details of working that, when I got a flare alert.

CC ...

336 15 59 20" SPT Stand by. They're dumping on my recorder.

336 16 09 06 SPT **w BERYLLIUM and _NUM APERTURES, I had a read-

ing of 3 and 2, respectively. The IMAGE INTENSITY
COUNT was also up - above background.

336 16 09 32 SPT Okay, at this point, I took a glance at H-alpha 2

and it stood out very clearly. And out of instinct
rather than following procedures, I took what
amounted to be about 5 seconds, I would estimate,
to go over and get on top of it. At that point,
I started the experiments from their respective
flare modes. The first, I believe I got going was
AUTO, SHORT for 56. 55 or 54, I got going in a M,
l, 0, H, 64 or M, S, 0, H, 64. That switch is
taped on the panel and there's no way of moving
it right now. On 55, in a MIRROR, LINE SCAN, and
then I noticed that I really had it in at - down
at line 25 and I enhanced the point with - with
H-alpha 1. And I could clearly see they'd be off
the limb and would not be - get any useful data.
And I stepped it up, although I'm not sure right
 657

at this point whether I stepped it up before or

after initiating 82A and 82B, in their resler -
in their respective flare modes. But both of those
things were accomplished in a short period of time.

336 16 ll 14 SPT And in looking at it, I saw a PMEC in the upper

900's. It had triggered at - I'm sorry, the upper
600. It had triggered at 608. And I watched it.
It was not changing very much. If anything, it
looked as though it had Just leveled off. And I
concluded that I had gotten to the - not a real
early flare rise, which is what we're really after
on this mission, but close to the flare peak, at
which point I changed the - or stopped the experi-
ments which did not want to be operating 1_nless
you saw the flare rise; that's 82A, 82B, and 54.
Okay, two - two points: Also got H-alpha 1 going
to four frames per minute after I got everything
else ru_n_ng; and one thing I neglected to do in
55 was to put their DETECTORs to OVERRIDE. How-
ever, I did not get a tripout on - on any of the
detectors.

336 16 12 46 SPT Okay, seeing that it was a limb flare -And I

_- would estimatethat about 6 minutes or so had gone
by. I'm sure that you could - That's my own mental
estimation. I - I'll have to get another stopwatch
up here. We Just flat don't have one except for
the wristwatch which I've got _nniug on GMT. So
I was unable to time that. I would estimate it
was about 6 minutes from the time we got the flare
alarm triggered to the time that I went Sun cen-
tered, rolled to a ROLL of a minus 0500, which
is the maximum positive roll we could get. And
put the flare ranging at about 330 or 4. And
I got 52 going to the MODE, CONTINUOUS for 6-1/2
minutes.

336 16 13 46 SPT I think 52 - I realized that since we were - had

missed the flare rise, that 52 was perhaps the
one we could get the most useful data on. So
I concentrated on that. And I believe 52 was
run straight in accordance with building block
9, CONTINUOUS gave some TV monitor, which I re-
corded. I could not see any transient, however.
Gave a STANDARD MODE, a little more TV, a CONTIN-
UOUS, and I put another STANDARD in right at the
very end of the orbit, which terminated at 40
658

seconds before - yes, _0 seconds before _0 [sic]

K. Now on 55 - also, my apologies to those folks,
I made two errors in getting them set up. One was,
I went to - I went to MIRROR, LINE SCAN initially
and I got it to the right line. I think it got
some good data. Initially, I pointed at the flare.
However, once I went to Sun center, for some reason,
two things happened. One, I found m_self in MIRROR,
AUTO RASTER rather than MIRROR, LINE SCAN. I
also had 650 on the GRATING POSITION as opposed to
what we started with, which was 162. So apparently
I had inadvertently hit the START switch when we
were over on the grating side for a short while
and either that or - well, I'm not positive exactly
how that happened. I'll Just have to be more care-
ful in the future.

336 16 15 24 SPT What I concluded though was that rather than cycle
all the way around to zero again - was I'd stick
at 650 and that was - It was giving information
on at least four DETECTORs that I could see, al-
though it was only a neon I on 1 and neon II on
number 2, and Lyman continuum on the other two -
I mean 3 and 4. Probably th_n_ng back over it
though, perhaps they're not the best lines to be
looking at. And I might have been Just a little
more useful in going around taking the time out
to go back to a GRATING of zero.

336 16 16 20 SPT On the TV recorder, the VTR, there are five differ-
ent sets of data. There is - Well, initially, one
before the flare went off. One at the - that's
the XUV MONITOR - I'm sorry. No, I did not give
you any before the flare went off in the XUV MONI-
TOR. There was one at 26 TIME P_IAINING - I'm
sorry, let's go back. XUV MONITOR, GMT at 15:26,
has got some with INTEGRATION at 42 ; again at 53 -
That's all (_frs, with all INTEGRATIONs and there
was one more in there which I did not write down.
The WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH was given some at GMT
of 15:34 and 15:_l. So all in all - Well one other -
couple other observations.

336 16 17 35 SPT I did want to see what I could observe in the XUV
MONITOR with the image intensity scope. And I saw
that I could have, with the _0NTRAST all the way
up, I could go down to an intensity of 3.5 - or
BRIGHTNESS of 3.5 on the scope, as usual gives you
Just nothing, and still observe with 1-second integra-
 659

tions the location of a flare. When I brought it

up to a reading of 6, it usually will still not
give you anything. But I could see it without
INTEGRATION. So I feel I have at least a reasonable
setting to work with for fUture work in - with the
persistent image scope, and that's a setting of 6.
And by meaning - I mean, by being able to see it,
that it was the only feature on the disk at those
levels.

336 16 18 41 SPT Okay, in the fUture I think what I'm going to have
to do is to move my PMEC count down about i00 from
what's given there, although I will not trigger any
experiments. I'll try and follow the building blocks
or the - and the J0P as written. But I think for
my own notification of what's going on, I certainly
need that early warning. We get so _n many false
indications though, from the South Atlantic anomaly
that it makes it pretty hard to interpret the real
ones quickly. I think a fair amount of time when
we do get high flare possibilities will have to be
devoted to the flare wait, and we'll Just be spring
loaded to - to get it. I certainly anti - In this
instance, was not spring loaded and did not see
_- anythinguntil we got the flare trigger, and then,
of course, it was - the FLARE ALARM trigger, and
then it was too late. So, hoping to do better in
the future on flare rises although this was not
too bad in that I think 52 probably got some good
data. And some of the other experiments that were
in - point in the flare rise - oh, I'm sorry, in
the flare peak. Okay, I got a double Z-LV pass to
pull off here and then I'll pick up again on ATM
ops.

at this panel, my eye level is much higher than
when we used the simulator.

PLT And I'm sure that ALTIMETER UNLOCK light was on

several seconds before I noticed it. It's Just
out of - down out of the field of view. I'm going
to go ahead and hit the RECORD switch OFF, imless
you want to record something. Say, I'll hold off
here. You may want to m_e some voice c_--,ents

BB6 19 02 B1 SPT Okay, at about 20 seconds to go, the *** became

dark. And around l0 seconds to go, there was a -
a bright light coming in from the right-hsz.d
side. And at 2 seconds to go, the light became
very bright rapidly, and I cut off the WLC TV
power. I've been unable to notice any particular
characteristics, other than a general darkening
of the total picture at about 20 seconds to go.
•.. because completely black, and I turned the
intensity's brightness up full at l0 seconds to
go and I was still able to see a very small part
of the inner corona.

336 19 03 B5 SPT SPT out.

336 19 03 46 SPT Let me add on to this report also what was done
on this - small factor you add to the Z-LV. We
had a shopping list item 1 done of the coronagraph
with a CONTINUOUS for 1 minute, 2 frames ; and
56, a PATROL, SHORT. Went over to active region 87
and 92, and did essentially a building block 2,
which was MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs at a GRATING of
102 MECHANICAL and all DETECTORs. Points I got
turned off during that time. There was still
a relatively bright knob [?] so the flare occurred
continuously. PMEC was up, but we were in the
anOaaly at that t_e. The IMAGE INTENSITY was
up to around 7 or I0 maTimum, and then it was
hack down again.

336 19 05 13 SPT And about a call which I got earlier today telling
me that when I was on the console doing J0P IB
that we actnR1 ly had the FLARE THRESHOLD in the
off-console position. Okay, if that's true,
then that certainly would change the time at
which I was able to get out and belay it.
 671

Apparently was an oversight on W part, setting

up the panel. And for that, l'm sorry.

336 19 05 41 SPT SPT out.

TIME SKIP

B36 20 38 B8 SPT SPT at 20:B8, ATM op ... beginning at 19:46.

Started out with a 2A, active region 87. Then
Just about at the conclusion of that first 2A,
we had a PMEC of greater than 500. And I went into
the MIRROR, LINE scode - SCAN MODE in 55 and do not
have anything confirmed on the other displays.

336 20 39 54 SPT Okay, we then came out of that mode and went to a
second building block l0 on active region 87. We
got that pretty much completed as called. And I
was, at that time, getting PMEC readings which
exceeded with the threshold with no other calls.
As a matter of fact, I had the PMEC most of the
time down to 512. And I had the flare ringing in
p _ ears for a good period of time, the FLARE _Lk_WT
ringing. Okay, then - at 26 remaining, the PMEC
exceeded the threshold. However, we were - we
were over the - what I would call the peak at that
point. I had turned the TOE/LIGHT, OFF. Had to
turn it back ON when it got - when I got the indi-
cators on the other - indications on the other
instruments - IMAGE INTENSITY COUNT and APERTURE
POSITION.

336 20 41 52 SPT Net result was that, even though we had a very
sharp rise, a flare at that point, again we did
not get the early rise. And I'm about to conclude
that the PMEC is not a very useful instrument, and
I'm still trying to figure out how to make that
thinguseful in flare detection at all. It has
very mixed meaning in terms of the number of false
indications. We could either set it higher so it
won't give you the false indications or turn it
off. Of course, that won't do you any good.

336 20 42 25 SPT And if you ... the thing - -

CC Skylab, Houston. We're back with you for another

6-1/2minutes.
672

SPT And if you let it stay on and at the proper thres-

hold, or even lower, then you listen to it all the
way through the horn, the anomaly.

336 20 42 41 SPT And that can be rather distracting, as I've witnessed

over about a half an orbit here.

CC ...

CDR Yes, I was concerned about whether or not we were

going to have to dry them and all that stuff if we
open them again.

SPT We did get a flaring evidence in H-alpha in ac-

tive region 87. However, had we not gotten the
rise, I did not go into the FLARE MODE, the in-
struments other than the MIRROR, LINE SCAN and
some PATROL, SHORTs for 56. And I was setting up
to do a building block 10, flare wait, to try to
pick up what - if we ever see a second flare, if
it should come.

336 20 43 25 SPT At that point, I got a call from Houston to trigger

82B SLIT in the FLARE mode. And even though we
have lots of f_]m, that still is rather confusing
to me, as I was under the impression that every
PI agreed that what we're after was the early flare
rise, and we have certainly seen lots of flare peaks.
So I think I'll ask that particular question on
air-to-ground, and I hope I'll get it clarified
tomorrow, so when I talk to Bob MacQueen.

CDR Houston, CDR .... --

SPT Okay_ on the next orbit, I'll set up again for - -

337 03 00 51 SPT SPT at 03 sad 01, debriefing the ATM pass which
began at 01:57. Okay, the whole pass went as
laid out - the building block IA, 113, TV downlink,
and building block l0 in JOP 2D.

337 03 GI 31 SPT The pointing for that, the 82B slit, was essen-
tially the same as I carried out earlier today.
I think it was the last manned pass which we
had in which I did a shopping list item and gave
82]3, I believe, eight sequences of time in the
one-quarter division, WAVELENGTH, SHORT. So
they've got another one now, which is a - a
i0 and a 40, which they can perhaps correlate
with that because in pointing, at least visually,
it was almost the same.

337 03 02 22 SPT 87 certainly was quite a bit burned out from

what it was this afternoon. Okay, we powered
down according to nominal. I spent a little bit
of time towards the end of the orbit on looking
for a loop above the region - the active region 87.
And I tried oxygen VI first and about i arc
minute out. And the counts were between, oh,
50-60-70-80, somewhere along in there, which was
suggestedby the ground earlier from Bill Lenoir.

337 03 03 12 SPT However, I was not able to find a real definite

structure or even anything but nearly a uniform
increasing intensity over a wide area. I was
hoping I would be able to see a better definition.
I'll try it with some of the ones of higher
contrast - lines of higher contrast, when I do
get a chance. It'll be on 7, and I'll look at
12. And again, I'm really impressed by what
MONITOR 1 shows in some prominences.

337 03 03 55 SPT They certainly show up better than almost any-

thing I've Seen except from the vacuum tele-
scope out at ... Prominence 37 is really a

after the second exposure, and I wasn't sure whether
it affected the exposure or not ; so I retook the
second exposure, which was 2 minutes long, and then
l took the third exposure, and it was about 2 min-
utes late. This evening, I did the $233 again
for the PLT. This time, I had the Jam-up between
the second and third, and I had to retake the
third photo, l'm not sure Just exactly what is
causing the Jam. It's somewhere between the re-
lease mechanism for the shutter on the time mode
and in the advancing of the film. I 'm pretty
sure I got you three good exposures, but in both -
in both times, I had to waste one frame in order
to get it. So the frame count tonight in that
camera is 60, which means we'll probably have to
load new film before we can do any more S2B3s.

And the last exposure was 15 seconds late. I

the food people and the flight planners. On the
days that we have high-density food, we have to
go up into overage and get all of our food out
of the pantry. It looks like the best way to
do it is to take one bag, which we have - a little
transport bag - I believe it's the one the T025
equipment came in. We go up, and we spend about
20 minutes going through the pantry and pulling
out all of the food for the day. I think probably
what we ought to do, because - What it's doing
is it's messing up our postsleep on the - on the
morning of the high-density day. It's getting
us all off stride on our time line. I think
we better establish a new housekeeping task.
Andthe night before, we ought to assign this
housekeeping task to somebody, to go up and
gather the - the food for the next day, if it's
a high-density day.

337 14 32 04 SPT SPT at 14:32. The subject is sighting of lasers,

T053. When we came over the Washington area,
there was no problem at all in sighting the
lasers. The only problem one might ever have is
looking in the right general area. But when
you're within a couple of hundred miles - you
got your eyes within a couple of hundred miles
of the right location, it Just comes right
through clear. I don't think anyone should ever
have any problem sighting on a good green laser

337 19 47 14 SPT SPT at the ATM. Pass was started at 19:04;

J0P 26, five steps. Okay, it all went as called
for. No difficulty in carrying out what was asked
for. 0nly one alteration I did m__ke was to inter-
change steps 1 and 2 so that I only had to change
one axis at a time in repositioning. That is, I
started the first one at a DOWN of minus 816 and
a LEFT of plus 130. And then I moved over, for
the second one, to a LE_T of minus 130 and then
on DOWN to line 25 and again at LEFT minus 130.
At the conclusion here, at the - the last pointing
I remain here to give a couple more mirror auto
rasters because I know that the statistics out
there are pretty poor, so you'll probably get
two mirror auto rasters - a little over two mirror
auto rasters at the outer one rather than one. And
also S056 is receiving a SINGLE FRAME, LONG
EXPOS[RE of around 6 minutes.

337 19 48 46 SPT SPT out.

337 19 54 37 SC SPT at 19:54. Two extra points on the orbit

which began at 19:04 on the ATM. One: At the
concl,_sion of the orbit I looked at the WLC and
watc_gd us go into sunset. The sequence of events
was pretty much the same as I had seen before,
only the times are a little bit different. Every-
thing was nominal up to around 30 seconds remaining.
At that point there was Just a general darkening
of the tube and then a brightening coming in from
the lower right. My roll was mlnus 4798. The
brightening was not very significant, however;
 687

the brightening came in at around 20 seconds or

so and was well within the tolerance of the TV
tube to handle.

337 19 56 00 SPT At about 3 seconds remaining, however, the bright-

ness in the lower right-hand corner - and I would
say it was about, oh, at the most, i inch extending
from the edge of the TV screen - became very bright.
And at about 2 seconds to go I cut off the power
on the WLC display. I thought initially at around -
between 30 to, oh, roughly 15 seconds I could see
some image, but it was nowhere near parallel to the
horizon. It was - looked more like an artifact
of the - created by the lighting conditions them-
selves, and I'ii Just have to look at that a little
bit more before I can be more definitive in the
description.

337 19 56 57 SPT SPT out.

337 19 56 58 SPT Oh, correction. One other thing. On 55 and

looking for coronal loop, as I did mention on
air-to-grotmd, I was able to see on H-alpha, right
at a location slightly north of where active
regions 87/92 complex was, what looked like a very
long spicule. Of course, they were not spicules;
they were much too large for that, sticking out
almost parallel to the surface away from one
another but inclined slightly upward, which looks
very much like the bottom of a loop resting right
on the surface. Just from the size and their in-
clination I would guess that if I were to draw
a loop in there, it would be something on the
order of a, oh, a qn_ter to a third of a solar
radius. And I - my question is whether I can
actually - whether what I was actually seeing was
the base of the loops which you were looking at.

337 21 02 25 CDR This is CDR at 20 - 21:02 and a half, GMT, de-

briefing ATM pass. The call was for building
block 26, step i, which was Sun-centered. And
it all went as planned with the exception of the
688

first S056 exposure. I started out in SINGLE,

FRAME 4 with a NORMAL EXPOSURE. I shifted the
switch to LONG after a minute. I don't think
that - that probably did change it, but it was
right for the second exposure. All the rest of
the steps in the building block - all the partic-
ular steps went okay. I started the VTR of the
XUV MON about a minute before I finished building
block 28, and so I didn't really give you the
good integration repetition, the 1/2, l, 2, and
4 seconds. So the first minute - For the first
minute I gave you about S-second integrations,
one right after another, while I was busy watching
S056 and getting ready to turn it off. After I
got 56 off the llne, I gave you the regular inte-
gration repetitions for a full 3 minutes. And
that's_ all on the video tape recorder.

337 21 04 00 CDR And I now left the - I'm leaving the ATM set up
as requested on the pad with a ROLL of minus _800;
DOWN, minus 1285; and RIGHT/LEFT is zero with the
MIRROR AUTO RASTER _mning. I've found this very,
very plain looking today. There was nothing special
that I could see that's worthy of note. A11 we -.
have is Just a - as well as I can see, the one
filament over near the limb, which is 39. And
94 is - active region 94 and filament 41 are very,
very weak. The only action on the limbs were 92
on the west llmb, and I notice in XUV M0N that we
have something coming up on the east limb right
now. And that 's about it.

Frames number 31 and 30 were taken at f/8 with

things : One, a wave pattern which I suspect to
be the wave pattern of the water. Most of the
waves came par-11el with those s_10acent to it
over a scale of 100 miles or so at least.
Second_Ly, I saw what appeared as the foam4ng [?]
of the su_lint, which was a stoat1 network of
lighter or higher reflecting .areas superimposed
upon the waves. I would say that in the 55-
millimeter, the scale of these were maybe 1/50
or so of the size of the picture. The network
 689

itself was not hexagonal but was more flat and

- kind of flattened on one side. Not completely

certainly was uniform enough to establish it as

I experienced none of the difficulties I did the
previous run. The only sensation I had at
50 millimeters was a hollowness, if you will, in
the chest and stomach which I experienced really
from almost the first delta-P that was put on me,
at 8 millimeters. I did not have any lightheaded-
ness or tingling sensation in the arm even though
the pulse pressure I get toward the end - A couple
of readings get relatively low. But I did not
experience any problem. A couple things I did
in preparation for the run: One was to get a fair
amo_mt of water, like 30 ounces, before the run.
Secondly, I got a reasonable amount of sleep last
night. I don't feel really rested, but I don't
feel tired either. Thirdly, I've been doing a
lot of exercises for the calf, both of them or
all of them using the "Thornton's Revenge" - the
butch strap. Most of those involve either toe
rises or Just springing up and down, which I
have already described to Jerry Hordinsky.

337 22 46 29 SPT They do work the calves. And what I'd be interested
in knowing is whether the leg volume which I
achieved at 15 psi - a change in my volume -
whether that was the same, greater than, or less
than on the previous run. It was off-scale high
here; so I had no way of determining it.

338 00 28 02 PLT PLT debriefing the ATM pass started at 23:43.

Okay. The pass started at 23:43 was completed
as scheduled. There was one question I had in
my mind, and that is the pointing which was
indicated for JOP 2 Charlie at plus 12 arc sec-
onds and for - at step 6 and 2 Charlie, step 4,
at plus 6 arc seconds. I wasn't quite sure -
I know it says H-alpha pointing, but I'll tell
you what I did. I got to zero on the LIMB OFF-
SET, and then I moved to 12 arc seconds above
that while in LIMB POINTING. I took that at-
titude or position to do the building block 87.
So that's the orient - the pointing that was used
for building block 87, 2 Charlie. Excuse me.
That's building block 28 on - on target number
87, JOP 2 Charlie, step 6.

338 00 29 27 PLT Okay. Now for building block 37, 2 Charlie,

step 4, I went to zero on LIMB POINTING, se-
lected LIMB SCAN to hold the slit on zero, put
the LEFT/RIGHT, FINE SUN SENSOR pointing, and
slewed 6 arc seconds above the limb from that
__ reference and executed the 2 Charlie, step 4,
building block 37 with that attitude. Every-
thing appeared to be nominal. I don't think I
made any mistakes on that. The - I'm going
to configure for the 54, 40 kilometer, before
I leave the console. And it just occurred to
me that my debriefing for the previous pass may
not have gotten on tape, because I was looking
at my selection here and I wasn't on ICOM/P_f
on A. I may have had it and turned it off. In
any event, I'll give a quick recap of the debrief-
ing starting - the pass starting at 22:11 - 22:11
Zulu. The - It was not clear to me how to execute
the - Let me get the JOP out and look at it - J0P
5. Okay, JOP 5, step 4. Let's see. Point H-alpha
1 at inner - H-alpha inner limb. ROLL, LEFT,
minus 10200; roll 82B slit tangent to white light
limb - UP/DOWN, 00; LEFT/RIGHT, 1 radii [sic].
I did that, although I may not have been quite
tangent. But I did use the UP/DOWN, 00; Lk_T/
RIGHT, 1 radius. Then it says, "Select 82B LIMB
POINTING and manually step to first LIMB OFFSET."
And this is a disk option with the first offset
minus 12 arc seconds. I started the building
block 39 with 56 and 55 ex - exposures.

338 00 32 05 PLT Okay. Now what I did was, after I had already
started those, I saw that I was in trouble be-
cause there's no way to get to minus 12 that
I can remember. I fiddled around trying to
figure out a way and decided I didn't know how
to do it and ended up - Finally, I was able to
get minus 2 arc seconds without disturbing the
attitude of the canister; so I started td
minus 2. I got to minus 2, normal; zero,
no_l; and plus 2 times 4. Then I was told by
ground to go ahead. I - I decided not to con-
tinue since I was close to sunset. I was told
by ground to continue; so I went to the plus 4
star bit. So I got minus 2, zero, plus 2, and
part of plus _ on the disk option. And the
point is, that l'm not quite sure that the - If I
understand it correctly, I den't th_nk yeu c_n
quite do it the way the procedure's written -
JOP 5, step 4, building block 39. Everything
else on that pass was relatively nominal, and

ing for passes starting at 22:11 and 23:43.

338 02 06 42 SPT SPT at 02:07. ATM - ATM, ... beginning at about

01:i0. Oka_f, one of the first things I did at
Sun c_ter was to try to get rid of a small
white spot which l'm pointing out on the TV by
going to GRID, DISCHARGE. The net result was
thatches I held the switch down, I got a small
 black spot appearing where the bright one was
with the remainder of the corona remaining
unchanged. 8o the spot reversed completely and
the corona stayed white. When I released it,
it went back to the same way it was previously.
So I suspect it's not from the in - instrument but
somewhere within the television - television
system. I gave you a small amount of VTR on
this at 01:27. We did the building block iO
at 92 and that was done by rolling so that the
MIRROR, LIE SCAN is - was tangent to the limb.
That would be center of LA_'T/RIGHT pretty
much on the ms ximum as seen in H-alpha, and
moved the canister up and down to receive the
maY_mum in the red wing of Lyman beta.

338 02 08 58 SPT Correction, that was the red wing of Lyman

alpha.

338 02 09 hl SPT Okay, the MIRROR, LIE SCAN was then run as
requested at a GRATING of 059h. Also, while at
Sun center, ... previous - we gave a CONTINUOUS
for 1 minute to 52, which took care of the
building block 32, and also a PATROL, SHORT,
_-" for 56. Then went over to the limb at close to
92, a little at - no, north - north of 92 and
looked at what appeared to be a small surge of
material rising off the limb.

338 02 l0 _2 SPT It was at positions of ROLL, minus 9505 - a ROLL

of minus 9505, a UP/DOWN of minus 27, and a
LEFT/RIGHT of plus 12. The shopping list l0
item was done there - the displacement off the
limb for the XUV SLIT was plus ll seconds and
we were pretty much ... into the limb. You
got a 10-second exposure; then the first two ex-
posures in the times 4, that's a h0 and a 160,
and then part of the last exposure until we ran
out of viewing time and I went a little bit
below the ESS on that one before I cut it off.

SPT What was carried out was a shopping list item B at

the conclusion of the orbit, which was done at a
ROLL of minus 9505, a DOWN of minus 27, and I was
plus ii seconds off of the llmb, using the 50 -
82B LIMB position COUNTER, I believe that it looked
something like a surge, and we've been notified
•that we do have a surge in that region. But if One
occurred, then I hope we've Just got an early pic-
ture of it. I did the GRATING, AUTO SCAN because
I was trying to move to a new grating position,
and by the time I picked up that - around where
I got that grating position, I _1_ost had myself
a full 6_ATING, AUTO SCAN. And there really wasn't
much time to give you a complete set of MII_ROR,
LINE SCANs or even another MIRROR, AUTO RASTER.
So I Just thought I might Just as well continue
on and get the - some more GRATING, AUTO SCAN data,
rather than chop it up into segments of different
types of data.

338 03 02 27 PLT This the PLT reporting on the - work on the coronal
thir_ - or rather the surge. I went _nto JOP 8
Alfa, step 3; according to the coronal transient -
coronal disk and the transient guidelines. I'm in
the =dddle of block - building vlock 17 right now.

PLT I took my first look at the WLC MONITOR after run-

ning CONTINUOUS for about l0 minutes. It didn't
change - couldn't detect anything on the monitor.
Could sort of half fool myself, and I may have seen
a sort of enlargement of the streamer that the -
oh, looking at the north at the top of the clock,
about the 2 o'clock position there - From 2 o'clock
down to around 4 o' clock, there are about four
distinct streamers, the two closest to 3 o'clock
being the most prominent. The one at 2 o'clock is
fairly nice-sized one, and 4 o'clock is Just a
little stubby one.

338 03 03 31 PLT The one at 2 o'clock positio n is the one I seem to

detect a sort of an enlargement on. But I really
can't - can't convince myself it's really there.
But I'm continuing to run building block 17.

338 03 09 47 CDR This is the CDR at 03:10 Zulu, reporting on S233.

I reported earlier this morning of having a little
trouble getting going on the first frame. I think
that that frame was probably the minus i frame.
This evening's exercise starting at 02:33 and last-
ing through 02:39 - all frames went on time and
without any hitches. The frame count on the camera
now is i0, indicating that there have been nine -
nine photos taken, and so that worked out real well.
And I was checking the frame count as I was going
tonight.

CDR The - the last frame, number 6, of tonight's photo

exercise was 120 seconds, infinity focus, and I
think the last 20 seconds of it probably were -
caused the whole thing to be ruined because the
sunrise came upon us. We started getting scattered
light on the window, and I think it Just wiped out
that last frame.

338 03 i0 53 CDR I think probably what we're going to have to do is

start a little closer to - to the first - let's
see - to camet-rise. Let's see; I'm trying to see
what you had for comet-rise here, 02:35. Well,
_ looks like you've started Just as early as you could
anyway. Sunrise you hold here is 02:42; however,
at 02:40 we were already getting a lot of light
around the spacecraft. And I think that's going
to wipe out any long, timed exposures that you got
cooking there. So by 2 minutes and 42 seconds be-
fore sunrise, I think you had probably overexposed
your film. So as - as essentially a recap then of
233 for today is that _11 nine photos were taken.
We got kind of hung up in the first there. The
frame count right now is number lO, indicating
that nine have been taken. And I Just hope that
the first one there comes out okay. I'm pretty
sure it will. We must have been slightly off on
the - the initial frame count or something.

338 03 12 05 CDR I don't know how it started out. At one this

morning, or essentially at zero this morning, end-
ing up at i0 tonight, and we got nine frames in
between without any problem and then I had that
one problem.
696

338 03 12 17 CDR Okay, break, break. This is a - a new message

and this one is for the visual observation people.
I had two - two assignments tonight at 03:03 and
03:04 Zulu. One was HHI01-1 of the Manila area.
The clouds over Manila were with a - essentially
broken - scattered to broken deck. I took a - a
Hasselblad shot of it. l'm not sure that you'll
be able to get much out of it in the way of met-
ropolitan study, but I went ahead and took it any-
way.

CDB Then we - as we moved on down to the south, the

clouds remained pretty much scattered to broken
and I got a picture of Leyte, Samar, and Mindanao
Island, and I don't know if you're going to be able
to get very good fault information out of it or
not because of the clouds. The settings - Because
of the cloud cover, the settings were f/16, 1/250
with a 100-millimeter lens on the Hasselblad. And
stand by and I'll give you the frame numbers. The
frame count on the Hasselblad right now is h2. So
that means that number 41 was Mindanao, number 40
was Samar, niJmber 39 was Leyte, and number 38 was
Manila.

338 03 13 47 CDR CDR out.

338 03 15 17 SPT Okay, this is the SPT at 1 - correction, make that

at 05:15.

338 03 15 31 SPT Okay, try that again. Let's make it 03:15. Sub-
Ject is M_87-3, 3A, work restraints and mobility
aids. Okay, fireman's pole: I guess it's kind of
tough to give it a rating as I really don't - really
didn't want it in there, and we have since taken it
down. I think if you're - It was really not any-
thing which I could not have - did not provide any
function which I could not have done without.

338 03 16 16 SPT Stand by.

338 03 19 21 SPT Okay, this is the SPT picking up again on M4 -

487-3. Okay, on fireman's pole: Again I thought I
was able to get along without it. And I think I was
fina/_Ly able to wean the other guys from it. That
large open space I find kind of fun to move around
in, suld also I think you can push off from one wall
to the other of the - one entrance to another and get
 697

to where you're going. If anything, that fireman -

fireman's pole was an encumbrance because if you
got on one side of it, you had to go around it in
order to - to get where you wanted to go. Supposed
to have been right next to the hatch and you found
yourself sometimes on the wrong side of it and go-
ing up it. And that slows you down more than, I
think, not having the thing at all. If anything,
what you might want are larger hatches and a pole
running right up the center, right on the axis of
the - of the spacecraft. Well, you have a dome -
0WS dome and wall handrails. I'd say those are
excellent; if anything, we need more of them.

338 03 20 38 SPT STS handrails: Again, those were good. I think

one thing we do need more of though are things to
hold checklists. MDA handholds and handrails, we
could use more in here; there's hardly any at all.
That would be much more useful to have - So I'd say
at least a factor of l0 more than what we have in
there. What we have in there is very little. So
I call those inadequate. I call it poor.

338 03 21 17 SPT Triangle shoe cleats/grid: I give that a very good.

I think they're very useful. They work real well.
The drawbacks are that they have covered up too much
of the grid around here and there never was enough
to begin with, so that you don't have that much
choice in where you put your feet.

SPT It's always on the floor or ceiling. You should

have more on the walls and we ought not to have as
much covered up as we do. You know it looks like
a lot - there's very few triangles which are
really useful. If you manage to get your triangles
in, it works. Also, I find that when I'm not work-
ing, I Just go around in stocking feet or light
shoes. I find the heavy knits of those - the mass-
ness of those shoes Just a little - somewhat of an
encumbrance and I Just don't enjoy zero g as much
with them on.

338 03 22 12 SPT Conical sho - shoe cleats and grid, I have not tried.
Water tank foot platform: I guess for the Job you're
going to do, it's very good. I - got - really not
much up there. Water tank - portable 512/M47 [sic]
foot platform: don't use it very much - hardly at all,
once for the EVA. So again, I can't evaluate it.
698

SPT ATM foot platform: I'd call that adequate. What

I'd like to do is to have that facil - mount moved
down a lot more than they do. We find ourselves
continually hunching over the panel, trying to get
our heads in the same position they were in one g.
And we can't move that thing down any more. Be
useful to have a much more, greater range to travel
on. Portable PGA foot reatraints: Okay, very use-
fill. I give them an excellent.

338 03 23 03 SPT Portable handholds; specify where and how used.

I guess - I guess the problem is - they're probably
adequate, but the problem is, for me, I don't have
time to run one - run one up and then try to figure
out where to put it. l'm interested in getting
the Job done and I sure don't have time to construct
things in order to do it .... footpads ms_, mA.n_
times, I _Light do that, but I've not run into that
situation yet.

SPT Portable equipment restraints, tethers, bungees,

universal mounts, et cetera: Okay, most of that -
heck, let's go at it. Tethers: I've - I've not
used any inside except for the small lanyards that
we put on our checklists, and I'd say those are
very good. The bungees are - If you're talking
about the spring ones, they're lousy. They're Just -
they stretch out too easily, and I give those a poor.

338 03 24 05 SPT Universal mounts: I guess for the Job they're going
to do, they're very good. ATM seat/back rest
restraints: I haven't tried it. I have the feeling
it would be very much - way too confining. When
I'm working on the ATM, I have material mounted
all around there. And I swing my body completely
back, to the right side, to the left side, straight
up, in order to get to the material which I have
posted for cue cards and one thing or another.
Sitti_E in that chair would really tie me down.
So that's why I haven't even attempted - I may drag
it out one of these days when I get a chance.

SPT Fecal collection equipment; urine collection equip-

ment: Okay, the fecal - l give those a very good.
The only shortcoming I have is that the whole opera-
tion Just takes too darn long. _ It takes a man about
half -,_hour. I'd say the bags are the weakest
point. There's Just too many - too much green -
green stickum to pull off and things to try to _-_
 piece together and make stick. That bag is a very
poor design. But, in general, the system works
pretty well.

SPT Urine collection equipment : I give that an excel-

lent. I th_n_ the problem we had with it, that
takes all the time, is the requirements of
experiments and not the equipment itself. Hand
washer: Okay, I guess I'd give it a very good.
I don't know how else you'd do it, that's why. It
still is a little bit inconvenient to have the water
splashing all around when you spray, but I've learn-
ed how to get around that, so it's not too bad.

338 03 25 50 SPT Fecal/urine collector lap assembly and handholds:

Okay, I've never used the lap belt. I get the thing
on very good. Handholds are Just in the right place.
Lap strap - never used it. Just gets in the way.
WMC handwasher handrails: Okay, yes. I guess it's
useful where it is. I could put a few more handholds
along the side there, would be very useful. As
matter of fact, we don't have very ma_y handholds
in there at all. So I guess I'd give those - that
an adequate because there's not more of them.

338 03 26 32 SPT _MC ceiling handrail. I 'm skipping by the foot

restraints. Fact is, those are nonacceptable.
They are Just - with gross shortcomings. The prob-
lem is that we don't have any triangle grid in there
to lock shoes so you can do any work. The only
few we have are the two that you stick your feet
under, which are too - too big for your regular
feet and too small for triangle shoes. I have Just
not been able to make those things work at all.
The only reason we can get away with doing any work
in that room at all is it's so darn small. We Just
need much better foot restraints, more of them. I
like the idea of having something you can put your
stocking feet under, and not Just triangle shoes.
I think we ought to retain that. Drying: Okay.
Light-duty foot restraints: Well, here I - hold
on; I 'm moving on.

338 03 27 24 SPT WMC ceiling handrail: Don't use it very much. I

guess it's adequate for - but I Just flat don't use
it very much at all. I guess when you ever need it,
you might - you might find it convenient, but I'm
usually using the walls. WMC light-duty foot re-
straints: Okay, going back to that ceiling handrail,
7_E •

I'd give it a inadequate also because it really

doesn't have that much Job to perform.

SPT Okay, the light-duty foot restraints: I'd give

those - I'd give those inadequate also. The prob-
lem is they're - they're not big enough or they're
not _m_ll enough. They ought to be smaller if
you're going to use your stocking feet in them, and
they ought to be bigger if you're going to use
triangle shoes in them.

338 03 28 16 SPT Drying stations: I think they're too Crowded to-

gether, so I - I'd give them - inadequate. They
do the Job, but it's Just, I guess, too - too packed
together.

SPT Shower: have not used it yet. I use sponge baths,

and what's ... I guess I rea]]y can't give you
a ratio; I guess I'd give it en adequate, but
what scares me off is all the frapping time it
takes Just in order to get the - the thing set up
and to clean up after it. I find I can go on in
and give myself a good sponge bath and can do the
Job Just about as well as that shower in about half
the tJJne. We've been pushed for time up here, so -
I Just; haven't had the - haven't had the time to -
the l_ury to go on in there end try that. Looks
like _km and I'll probably - I'm sure I will try it
quite a few times.

338 03 29 II SPT Personal hygiene kit: It's ell right, except the
place that they have it stowed is inside a sm-!l
locker, l'd much rather find a place that we could
stow it perm-nently outside so you wouldn't have to
dig into a small locker and fiddle with it all the
time. I find that kind of inconvenient. So I
guess the kit itself is very good, but the location
is poor.

SPT Towels and washcloths: I guess I'd give those a

poor. I think the fire guys really got away with
something when they made us go with that kind of
_teri_l. I don't think it's absorbent enough,
and I think it's too hard.
°

SPT General utility wipes: Okay, those are all right,

except they're a little bit hard to get out of the
container. I'd give them a very good. Again, we
don't have enough of them.
 701
f-

SPT Wet wipes: I think they're too hard to open up;

I give those an adequate. They're good once you
get them open. Biocide wipes: I give those a
poor. No one wants to go on in and get that biocide
all over your hands whenever you w_nt to clean up
one simple thing. I think we ought to have a
plastic handle on a sponge which has got something -
which has got a way of getting biocide into the
sponge, and then can be kept at a location where
it won't dry out.

338 03 30 40 SPT Utensil wipes: Adequate& again, tough getting the

bag open.

SPT Trash and plenum bags: I give those an excellent ;

I think they work real well.

SPT Urine/fecal bags: I'd give those a very good. Only

thing is they do tend to - a little bit hard to roll
up and get them all squared away.

338 03 31 06 SPT Wardroom table, eating space: I - I guess I'd give

that, oh, an excellent. I think that works pretty
well. Thigh restraints: Adequate; they don't really
hold you in there. You got to work at it pretty
hard; what we really need is a good pair of foot
restraints in there. Wardroom light-day - light-duty
foot restraints: They're unacceptable. They Just -
they don't hold your shoes; they're too - way too
small and you really can't get your stocking feet
in them because you can't hold yourself that well
with your stocking feet so you - Food reconstitu-
tion - well - We're getting away from the foot
restraints.

338 03 31 50 SPT l'd give the foot restraints an unacceptable.

Two reasons : first your triangles always become
locked and they still come out. So you're going
to have to get in there and try to unlock your
foot restraints with your fingers, or try to
squeeze them back into those foot restraints to
try to get it - to square it away and get it work-
ing right again - get it working right to pull
your foot out. And secondly, there is only one
location. I think we should have Just done away
with that completely, as we plan to do - planned
to do, and Just use triangle grid. Let you put
your feet wherever you want them. That was really
a make-work project there. What we also really
7o2

need are some lightweight foot restraints that you

can Just snap into the triangle grid, so you can
put those anywhere you want, because there - I
could Just go in there in my stocking feet, or with
light shoes on and - and work that way. That,
combined with the thigh restraints, would probably
be a good system.

338 03 32 52 SPT Food reconstitution dispenser: Okay, it works

pretty well. Little bit hard sometimes in order
to get the - I'd give that a, oh, a very good. A
little bit hard to get the food you're reconstitu-
ting out of it at times, but that's no real m_Jor
problem. What I would like to see is a way of
selecting how much you want, as we have, but also
a wa_r of letting the little - marker run up to
show you how much you are actually getting at any
given time, so you can shut it off right when you
wanted to. I think the - Also we ought to go up
to 8 ounces on that because many of the drinks are
over 6 ounces, and it's a two-action move there in
order to get it all in there. What I'd like to
have then, going back to the present system, is
a way of seeing exactly where the cylinder is ; that
is, how much is in the cylinder at any given time
while it's charging. That way you can cut it off
by going from CHARGE to DISPENSE at any moment. I
think especi-11y if you had 8 ounces you might Just
leave it at 8 ounces all the time. It's a lot more
bother moving the thing back and forth, and Just
cut it off whenever you wanted it. You had your
option.

338 03 34 19 SPT Water gun: I think the floods of water are - I'd
give that an inadequate. I think the floods of
water are about a factor of 2 too small. I think
you need them twice as large. Food tray: Works
real well; I'd give them an excellent. Food cans:
Oh, I guess I'd give them a very good. Beverage
dispensers: I give those a very good. MY personal
preference is to see something which is all one
integral unit on the top so you don't have to put
one piece inside another to make it work. Season-
ing dispensers: I haven't used them very much, but
I guess I'd give an adequate. Beverage dispensers:
I guess I'd give them a very good.
 703

338 03 35 05 SPT Going back to seasoning dispensers, I've not used

them too much at all. I guess I'd give them an
adequate, the problem being that many times the
seasoning leaks out of it, and it will also run up
the side of the dispenser when you try to get a
drop out. Eating utensils: I'd give those in-
adequate; the main reason being there that the
ser - spoon is w_y too gmall. I've had to use
one from the command module. Sleep restraints :
I'd give that an adequate. One of the problems is
that it's kind of tough to get in and out of that
thing. It's a real struggle every time I work at
it. I also don't know what the heck that thing
hanging over my head is supposed to do. I would
much rather have something you could pull from
one side to the other. The thing hanging over my
head Just really gets in the way, and I'm thinking
of cutting it off.

338 03 36 07 SPT Trash airlock - Okay, sleep restraint I give an

adequate. Trash airlock: Commander does all the
work there. From what I see, it looks - looks
very good except for the possibility of binding up
on you. Vacuum cleaner : I 'd give that an adequate.
F The problemthere is that it Just doesn'thave
enough suction. Wardroom table, noneating uses :
I find putting the cover back on after every meal
is Just too much thrashing around, so I never real-
ly do it. For that reason I give inadequate -
gave it inadequate. Tool caddy: I'd give it a
poor just from the general concept - maybe if I
ever have the occasion to use more than four or
five tools, I'll go ahead and use it, but I find
it Just as easy now to tuck the tools in my pock-
et and go. Portable fan: I give that an excel-
lent. It works real well. We've got it sitting
over there by the bike; it cools us off real well.
0DAE kit.

338 03 37 19 SPT What the heck is an ODAE kit? I give that a ques-
tion m-_k. Garments: I give those an adequate.
Problem there is that I Just get tired of this
darn brown. I would like to see some fire re-
strictions such that we could get some good-
looking clothing in here. Other than that, I
find most of the stuff fairly useful; some of
the pockets are a little bit too small for what
you want to put them in - put in them, especially
around the back.
 SPT Light baffle: I give that a very good, seems to
work pretty well. Privacy curtains: Give that
an ex - an excellent. That works excellent, very
well. Air diffusers: I'd give those - that's a
very good - small problem there is that it takes
an awful lot of cranking to move that thing around.
And you're never re_ISy sure what you got when you
get done. I haven't found those diffusers and the
position changing on them to be effective. Air
vents in the sleep compartment: I think the loca-
tion of them right next to the rack was a mistake
because they freeze my feet off every night. I
had to move the vent so that they're not on my
feet, I don't get as much airflow as I want.

338 03 38 51 SPT SPT out.

338 03 43 i0 PLT PLT debriefing from ATM pass starting at approxi-

mately 02:49. Partially debriefed. We started
out going to do a JOP 6, step l, building block I,
and we were advised by ground to go into coronal
transient mode, which we did. We started a
JOP 8 Alfa, step 3, building block 17. 56 I got
into the PATROL, LONG; I got one exposure 82 Alfa,
20 seconds, WAVELENGTH, SHORT. And the WLC, I was
drifting through there taking time occasionally
to look at the monitor, and it was a MIRROR, LINE
SCAN, all 0000.
338 03 44 i0 PLT Kept taking a look at the monitor about every, oh,
5 to 8 minutes, and it didn't appear to be any-
thing happening. So informed ground when we came
up over G_;am. Ground told us to go back and do
building block l, so I picked up on building block 1.
I was already in PATROL, LONG in 56. I finished
that. I did a PATROL, SHORT; then I did a - I had
about 15 minutes left, so I went ahead and did a
SINGI_ FRAME h, LONG, 1G-minute duration. Contin-
ued - CONTINUOUS in WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH -
correction, I did a STANDARD; then I did a MONITOR;
and then I started CONTINUOUS; then I did a MONITOR
toward the end of the pass. Again really nothing
I could see on the monitor.

PLT 55 instrument I did the GRATING, 3 SCAN, line 25,

DETECTOR 1 and 2. Then I did another MIRROR, AUTO
RASTkX_ on al I O0O0 and as per ground instruction.
I did four repetitions of 5_. It was sort of a
hybrid; I did not do the A part of building block i.
I sort of picked up after the roll m-_euvering _.
 7O5

with the exception that I did do four sequences of

54. Nothing on 82A, of course, except the single
exposure I did earlier on building block 17. And
the rest of it seamed to piece together quite well
by more or less seeing what they had in mind. The
frame count at the conclusion of today's activities:
H-alpha, 13664; 56 4906; 82A, 153; 82 Bravo, 1434;
52 is 6878; 54 is 4729.

338 03 47 lO PLT I can't think of anything else to add to that, so

PLT signing off.

urine bag failure. Urine bag serial number 1520
appears to have been leaking around the rubber
nipple in the center of the bag. I think prob-
ably we lost several cc's of urine; I would
guess 100 or 200 maybe. Cleaned out the urine

I did - At the low rpms, I did have a sense of
rotating. Otherwise - correction, I did not. At
the hi@h rotations I did have a sense of rotating.
At the lower rotations, the line did move Just - -
on several occasions, about three occasions, other
than the expected left-to-right horizontal direc-
tion. Under additional comments, at the l0 level,
I tried a little personal experiment of prejudice;
that is, I closed m_ eyes and I convinced myself
or prejudiced myself that I was rotating to the
right. And when Bill tapped me on the head, I
opened my eyes and looked at the line in the oto-
scope - or the otolith, I mean. And it took me
about three times as long to figure out that I was
really rotating to the left. I think that had I
been rotating to the right and been prejudiced,
I'd have probably seen it very quickly. It was
rather interesting to see that I could prejudice
myself. And then it made it very difficult for
me to figure out the real sense of rotation. I
had to - It is really best to try to keep your
mind bla_, you know, and not allow yourself to
think at all of rotation in either direction. A
side note I might also add is that I saw quite a
few light flashes - about seven light flashes while
I had the otolith on.

Okay, building block l-A, 1-B. l-A, I managed
to get the wrong roll. And I apologize to the
folks at 82A for giving up the extra frames there.
I think part of the problem is with our time line
here in the morning. We've got to work it around
so we've got a little bit more time to concentrate
on what we're doing. The way it is right now,
rushing ma_es errors. I'm afraid that's the whole
version of this morning. Okay, on 55 at 8 - 8-A
- or l-A, I got a GRATING, AUTO SCAN at line 25
before we started the GRATING at - or MIRROR, AUTO
RASTER at GRATING of 2897. They got a little over
complete GRATING, AUTO SCAN. 1-B went as planned,
and I got down after doing the maWeup of - of 82A
again and a ROLL of 1080. And I got there with 5
minutes remaining and pretty much took care of the
orbit.

338 lh 53 47 SPT I did look at the WLC as we went into sunset. And
at 31 seconds remaining, we got a darkening of the
total display. At 22 seconds remaining, the corona
was not visible at a]]. At 5 seconds rem-_ning,
the light from the lower right-hand side, making
it a ROLL of minus 5400, the light of the lower
right-hand side came in as a very diffuse light.
2 seconds re_a_ning, the light from the side was
bright and had a very sharp edge. And it was only
there long enough - for a split second before I
cut the display off, and I could not discern any
surface features, however.

sensitivity. Had no symptoms during the run. At
the end of the run, it took about a minute and a
half for the sensation of rotation to the left to
completely subside. That's about it. I had about
the same feelings as I did last time; that is, that
after a while I began to get the impression that
I was on a wobble plate in pitch and - and roll,
essentially. And - But it was a very minor sen-
sation; it didn't bother me in any way.

338 17 39 09 SPT SPT at 17:39 on ATM. Okay, after the Z-LV pass
we managed to get in a few shopping list it_m_.
First one was number 1 at Sun center; we got 56
and 52 as called out for. Took a look at the
corona, and I could not see anything that looked
like a transient, although I did not really have -
take too much time for inspection. Went over
and then did a shopping list item 3 and pointed
S -_ about 20 arc seconds off the limb as seen on the
LIMB OFFSET readout on 82. The slit was pretty
much tangent to the l_mb. We gave - Well, 56
got a PATROL, SHORT. 82B got a 40-second expo-
sure, a 02:40, and starting into the third
exposure of a - of a TIMES _ sequence. And I'm
not sure exactly where I had to cut it off. I
did cut it off at ESS, hut I'm not sure how long
into that third exposure we got. 55 got a MIRROR,
AUTO RASTER. They got about _-1/2 of them. The
first one went down to line 20; the r_m-inder
went down to about line 16. I figured 16 was
best as it at least went down to the end of the
82.B slit. Following that, after ESS, we went
back to Sun center and picked up another 52
CONTINUOUS for 1 minute. I did not operate 56
because we were below ESS. So we snuck in a
little hit more good data, hut still not as much
as I'd like to see.

338 17 5h 25 SPT Hello. Welcome to Skylab 3. We've been up here

for nearly 3 weeks now, and we're doing a fair
 nt_mber of, we consider, very useful and productive
thimgs. Just about a half an hour ago we finished
up an Earth resources pass over the United States.
We've done quite a few of these since we've been
up here. Our orbit is such that we're going over
the United States during the early morning and
m/dmorning, and we've been getting a lot of, we
think, productive and quite interesting data on
our own country.

338 17 55 02 SPT Secondly, we've done an awful lot of good medical

experiments, especially during the first couple
of _epk, up here. During the first week, why, it
was almost entirely medical. We're trying to
learn a l-ittle bit about how man will adapt to
zero g, and what happens to him. We have so far,
in the previous two missions, found that man can
certainly go a long way a long time and be very
productive and work as hard as he does in - does
on the ground right up here. And I think we'll
all vouch that we've gone a little bit beyond
that too,

338 17 55 h4 SPT Third one is solar observations, looking at the _

Sun. WhaZ l'd like to show you today is a little
bit of the operations that go on in observing the •
Sun, and also a little bit about how we maneuver
the whole space station. Being above the Earth
here, we have a good vantage point, not Just for
tee Sun, but also for looking back at our own
planet; and that's the Earth resources. We'll plan
to get into that at another time in a little more
detail. Right now, let's look at the Sun. What
we _u_e is the control and display panel right
here.. We're located right now in the multiple
docking adapter which is a relatively small part
of this total space station, but one of which is the
- the heart in terms of control of the electrical
power, the spacecraft maneuvering systems, the
Earth resources, the ATM operations, and quite
a few other auxiliary experiments.

338 17 56 57 SPT So if you will, hold on, and I'ii reposition

your viewing point;, and we'll get with it again.

338 17 59 12 SPT Hello. Welc_ne to Skylab 3.

SPT Right now we're located in the multiple docking

adapter. Let's try that again.
 721

338 18 00 53 SPT Hello. Welcome to Skylab 3. We've been up here

now for a little over 2 weeks, coming up on 3,
and we've done a fair number of, we feel, fairly
productive and useful things and have been
enjoying it too. We just finished up an Earth
resources pass over the United States. Earth
resources, that is using our vantage point up
here to look down at the ground and learn a little
bit more about our own country and other parts
of the world from afar. I think we can do quite
a few useful things, and we have demonstrated
that. We'll talk more about Earth resources
later. What I'd like to get into now are some
of the other aspects of the mission; solar observ-
ations being one, and also to show you a little
bit about how we maneuver the spacecraft. Now
the third major thing which we've done on Skylab
is medical experiments. So far we've carried
out a large number of them, especially during the
first week. We're trying to learn a little bit
about how man's body will change in zero g, and
by that, we hope to learn a lot about the human
body in general and hope that it'll have appli-
cation as it has many of the other - as many of the
_-_ other medical space achievements have, right down
on Earth.

338 18 02 28 SPT Where we're located now is the multiple docking

adapter. It's the real nucleus, in terms of oper-
ations, of the total space station. We have in
here the stations for controlling the electrical
power, the attitude controls, the Earth resources
experiments, and the solar observations. In
addition, there's a whole load of auxiliary
experiments located in here. However, it's one
of the smaller areas of the space station, but
as you see, relatively packed with good equip-
ment. What we'd like to tA]_ about today is
right here. We call it the ATM panel or Apollo
telescope mount; the word's left over from the
initial planning in this. It is really now the
solar observation point for the Skylab. We have
on the panel ways of controlling the electrical
power and the attitude of the spacecraft.

take a closer look.

southern part of South America going east and
observed what appeared to be a major feature.
It could be pollution; it may be an ocean current
like the Gulf Stream. What it was, it was tur-
quoise almost, lighter color than the rest of
the ocean and qu/te distinctive. The - it ap-
peared to be either a long, narrow channel of -
of pollution or a current extending from a point
abou+ i00 to 200 miles south of Montevideo out
off the coast and extended south-southwestward
along - roughly paralleling the coast but di-
verging away from the coast about as far as I
could see, which means that it probably extended
down_, oh, a good 800 - 600 to 800 miles, it
looked like.

The pools have a brown - reddish-browm water in them.
They're lakes, not pools. And the laud is - looks
very desolate; no vegetation that I could see.
And _here was some streaking. Looked like maybe
that area is always subject to high winds either
from the east or from the west. These streaks
were pointed towards the east and - and more spread
at the west, which would indicate to me that the
winds are probably blowing quite frequently from the
east to the west. It looks very much like a desert -
only no dunes ; Just fairly b_d rock and - and eroded

outside is where we have all of the systems, elec-
trical power over in the lower right-hand corner, -_
the attitude and experiment pointing system, and
last]_r, Just some auxiliary displays and power dis-
tribution over on the left. First, perhaps, we
ought to look at the attitude and control system
we have. We've got the control moment gyros, which
control the attitude in the vehicle. And right now
we've got one of them - there are three here - one
taSkback which looks like a barber pole, and that
tells us we've got only two systems left or two CMGs
we call them, control moment gyros. We still man-
age to carry out most of everything we had - had
planned to up to this point. The folks on the
ground have learned how to operate with only two
of these gyros. And so far we've been able to do
the attitude maneuvering which has been required.
We have meters over here which will show us various
parameters or things of interest on the attitude
control system. And like all of the meters and
readouts here, we have switches which will allow
us to read more than one thipg on those meters.

That's the very thin, tenuous atmosphere of the Sun.
And l'm rolling the display or rolling the camera
which is out on the rack, which is looking at the
Sun, and that's why you see the picture move. We
have the - all of the instruments mounted inside
of a c_n_ ster, which are then - you then gimbal
and held onto a rack. They can be moved back
and;forth and pointed, as well as rolled.

338 21 26 27 SPT What we're looking at are large streamers coming

off, in your picture, from the top and the bottom.
The north part of the Sun, if you will, which has
got its own magnetic field Just like the Earth, is
on your right. Now we see streamers coming off,
particularly at the bottom. These streamers go out
extremely long distances, and eventually they will
become %uhat we call the solar wind. And it's the
solar wind which impacts our own vicinity of - of
space and gradually and eventually affects our own
communications and weather right here on Earth.
The - We cannot look at the Sun without covering
it up with something around - Excuse me. . Go back.
We cannot look at the corona of the Sun without
 \
728

covering up the bright disk in some way. If you've

ever looked in - at the corona of Sun during an
eclipse, you umderstaud what we're trying to do here.
Non_ally during an eclipse, people let the Moon come
in front of the Sun and do the occulting for us.

338 21 27 53 SPT Here, we're able to do this any time we like by put-
ting an occulting disk out in front of the camera.
Now on the ground we have a problem with doing that
because of the atmosphere of the Earth scatters
so n_ch light back into our own eyes or into our
camera that we really can't see the very faint light
from the Sun. But getting up here, above all the
Earth's atmosphere, is a real advantage to us. Now
these streamers arise from what we call active
regions. They're very hot spots on the surface of
the Sun. Let's take a look at those.

338 21 28 _3 SPT Okay, first to - to look at the Sun - Right now it

is relatively quiet, _ud it's rather hard to - to
see much activity, unfortunately. We're looking at
it now in the light of one of the lines of hydrogen
or _mry - one particular color, which shows up a
lot of the detail. You probably can see up there at
the upper right one - one small, bright region, but
that's probably not a very good example of an active
region. We ought to wait until we move out and get
close to one. However, we'll now take a look at
the ultraviolet - or extreme ultraviolet light from
the Sun. And you'll see a flash, and for Just that
brief instant at which it's on the screen, I think
we can see the circular disk of the Sun, as well
as some fairly bright points within, as well as
along, the border. And it's those that are on the
top and particularly the one down there at the lower
left which is of interest to us right now.

338 21 29 55 SPT We'll move on out there.

relatively small one compared to the ones we've

flown in other spacecraft. It's not quite as Smart
as the ones we have in the comm_nd module_ however,
it's done the Job. And we've learned how to use it,
and it works quite adequately.

338 20 57 22 SPT Before we take a look at some of the d/splays on

the experiments themselves, I might point out two
things. We've got these two television monitors.
For the operator on board, they're really the heart
of the whole operation. Reason being is that all of
the solar observations depend quite a bit upon the
Judgment and the observing capability of the person
on board or the person sitting at this panel.

338 20 58 00 SPT The way they do that is to show us various displays

of the Sun, which we'll take a look at in a moment,
and allow him to configure the experiments or to run
them in a mode which is 6oing to get the best data.
The experiments, themselves, are located on the
inside here, and we have six different experiments
located here. And even though it looks like lots
of switches, it's really not too bad. A general
understanding anyway is, when it comes to operating
many of them simultaneously, sometimes you get
snagged up. We have the - first of all - the power
for each one. For example, here is one experiment
going across here to the center. Second one, third,
and fourth and two more experiments over on this
side. Now each one is laid out in what we call a
sequential arrangement.

338 20 59 03 SPT That is, you can start from the left, and you
normally run things in a sequence of left to right.
You turn the power on first, the same as you would
if you had a camera - you'd make sure you had the
batteries in it. You open a door, which we do with
all of these switches. This switch here and
corresponding switches in each experiment are
aligned. We open a door here; analogous to taking
the lens cap off. And on occasion, there have been
_. pictures of the back of a door.

338 20 59 37 SPT This is the MODE. That is, how we operate the
experiment, how fast you take pictures, what the
exposure is - the same things that you would set
in your own camera or do for yourself. And finally,
how much film we have available. That's what these
counters show. And last, one of the few things
 \
726

which we have on board here which I think is - One

of the things which we have which has been excep-
tio_11y useful to us in _mnlng the panel is Just
a plain old READY OPERATe. light. It'll tell you
whether you have the experiment ready to operate,
and it'll also change color later on, telling you
that it is operating. Right now, we are on the dark
side; so we don't see those lights. Let me turn
the_ to a test position, and you can see them.
They're probably a little bit bright. Usually only
one is lit at a time. And they're quite useful to us
for keeping track of where we are in the experiments.

338 21 00 50 SPT Now on occasion, we do - we have had failures in

some of the equipment, and this is one way we've
worked around it. For example, you see here a -
a little box which we've brought in, which is a
timer for this experiment, which replaces the
REEDY OPERATE light which does not work amy more.

338 21 01 16 SPT Along on the right-hand side here, we have another

part of this experiment which has got its own tele-
vision display. It's a small X-ray display of the
_un. It's most useful to us is when we have flares
or very-high-energy explosive events on the Sun which
give off high-energy X-rays. And it will pinpoint for
us very rapidly where those X-rays are coming from.
We slso have capability on board of taking pictures of
these displays. For eTa_ple, you see here are some
we've taken of the corona, which we will take a
Ioc_t at, ourselves, on the TV monitor here in a short
time. This allows us to compare what we've seen
previously with what's going on at the present time
and gives us a pretty good feel for how things are
chs_Iging and how we ought to base our observations.

338 21 02 32 SPT One other thing you might notice is lots of sheets
of paper on the panel here, here and scattered
aro_md. And these are our crutches or cue cards,
if you will. Everybody's got them. Johnny Carson
uses them_ we use them. Most useful. For example_
what happens when a flare occurs? We've got all the
details of what we would do in order to get the
instruments operating very rapidly. Have to get the
most - the useful data in a short period of time.

338 21 03 16 SPT Okay, let's take a look at a couple of those

displays, and we 'ii try and point out what we 're
looking at.
 729

338 21 58 59 SPT Okay, here we are out on the limb of the Sun. And
I'll have to show you the active region that I'm
talking about in the extreme ultraviolet because
it's Just about around the corner. Around on the
other side, it's very tough to see in H-alpha or
the light of hydrogen. And I 'm showing it to you
with these flashes of light. Actlml]y, what we do
is, we take the light that's coming in the extreme
ultraviolet, store it for a while, and then display
it all in a short period of time. And at that
very bright region at the bottom which is the one
we're exploring now. The active region from which
there's been quite a few solar storms and, if you
will, explosions, we call flares, which have changed
the corona and sent a lot of particles out into
space.

338 22 00 06 SPT We've learned an awful lot about nuclear energy,

about what we call magnetohydrodynam_cs, a big
tongue twister for the reaction between high-
temperatures gases and electric and magnetic
fields and a host of other fields, by studying the
Sun. It's Just a giant astrophysical laboratory.
We've learning a lot about energy, in particular
nuclear energy. The source of energy for the Sun
has always been a mystery. We're beginning Just
now to really unravel it. There's still lots of
puzzles.

338 22 00 51 SPT Right now we're on the day side. I've picked up
again, and we're doing some of the observing
programs. We're pointed out at the - towards the
active region which I t, lked about. I tried to
look for loops in the atmosphere above that active
region. I've got the experiment set up and
running, and I have one more to get activated here.
You know, being up here and being able to look out,
both down at the Earth and out at the Sun, you
realize Just how dependent we really are and have
been for virtually all the light and heat we've
ever received. We're very dependent upon the Sun,
and I think that's what motivates a lot of the
study, Just that basic -basic drive and basic
tmderstanding. But also, being up here, we can
look out at night, and there's billions of stars.
We know there, s billions beyond that that we cannot
see.

338 22 02 06 SPT It kind of creates in us a curiosity about all the

stars that are out there, the possibility of space
programs, if you will, elsewhere. Are they com-
parable to ours? What phase are they in? And if
they're very advanced, why haven't we heard from
them? Also though, looking down, there's one thing
that also comes out very clear: We have m-uy
problems back on Earth. But as we fly over the
homelands of all of the people on the Earth, it
giw._s us a great deal of pride that the one nation
that's been able to m-_e so _ny forward steps
into space has been the one with this flag, the
United States. We're proud to be up here and be
a p_t of it. Come on back and see Skylab 3 again.

PLT 239.3?

i CDR Yes. TILT, 359.4; ROTATION is 239.3. This is

star field 269. The first one is widened, 270.
Stand by -

338 23 57 12 CDR MARK.

CC Understand the problem more fully. Did the door

fail to close, or did you have trouble getting it
open?

CC We copied. And why don't we go ahead and finish

up the mslf from ground. There's no need in you
staying at the panel or - or the SPT so we'll go
F_ ahead and run it from the ground.

338 23 58 31 PLT Okay, so next, we'll do a 90.

CDR Fight.

338 23 58 40 CDR The counter reading now is 20. I think that while
this thing is going down, and I can let you know
a little bit about the - about the reference star.
We have no reticle on S019. Apparently, the bulb
is burned out, and so we were unable to give you
any sort of reading on Canopus. We could see Can-
opus in there; it was a nice bright star, but it
! Just wasn't - the reticle Was not to he seen.

338 23 59 16 CDR We got the RETICLE switch on, the RETICLE INTENSITY
all the way up. We fiddled with the FOCUS. We
did everything we could do to get it and Just
couldn't - couldn't get the reticle. So if there
is some procedure for changing a bar - a bulb in
i the reticle and all that, we better - we better
get the word on that, and we'll get started on it.
