INTRODUCTION
This report is a supplement to the Postlaunch Memorandum Report of

the Mercury-Atlas Mission No. 5 (reference l). It is a compilation of
time histories of quantities measured onboard the capsule during the
flight and recorded on an onboard tape recorder.
No attempt will "be made in this paper to evaluate the performance of
the various capsule systems since this is the function of the Postlaunch
Memorandum Report. In order to present the majority of the data as early
as possible after the flight, verification of the presentation has been
limited to spot checks. Consequently, a few errors may be found in
subsequent more detailed analyses. This early presentation of complete
time histories of onboard data has been made possible by use of automatic
and semi-automatic data handling equipment under contract to MSC. These
data presentations are available to analysis teams one week after launch.

APPENDIX
The measured data were recorded onboard the spacecraft on two tape
recorders and a special recording oscillograph. In addition to the standard
instrumentation the spacecraft was also equipped with a number of thermo-
couples for a heating survey. Two strain gage bridges were installed on
the adapter to assist in the study of aerodynamic buffeting. The buffeting
data will be reduced and analyzed by Langley Research Center. This prelim-
inary report will present data from standard instrumentation and heating
survey instrumentation.
The various measurements made are listed below and a block diagram
(figure 146) shows the manner in which the measurements were recorded and
telemetered.
