16 23 18 SPT B channel, the SPT at 16:18 with some comments


on JOF 4, so the Pin will know what the heck I'm
doing. They saw the little foulup with the
55 grating; after having announced to them what
I was going to do, I hustled back to the panel,
hit the start switch and it was still in a
grating mode, so I blew that. I'm going back
and getting the right grating and giving them
a raster down to at least line 50, which I
figure will cover the whole prominences, and
that's putting me behind. So I'm going to do -
going to do building block 6A, followed imme-
diately by building block ii, which are in the
same pointing and roll. Then I will do 6B and
get 82A in fourth time exposure with a good
roll - orientation. I hope I get through. You
guys are still crowding these dayside passes as
f though we were operating with a nominal ATM, which
we definitely are not.

16 31 h0 SPT Friendly B, another comment from the SPT on


JOP 4. The pointing in this case, since the
prominence is almost perpendicular to the limb -
is almost perpendicular to the limb - the problem
of course, is that when the prominence is centered,
there's enough disk visible on the disply so
that it can't he seen. So I have to - I had
to kind of guess how far the prominence
sticks out, based on what I saw when I had -
when I move all the disks off the - off the
TV screen, and then come back and try and set
and roll as a pointing up, without being able
to see the prominence. I have pointed far
enough off the disk, so that if my calculations
are correct, the 82B slit will not be completely
filled with prominence, but it won't have any
disk in it, at all. The best way to handle a
prominence like this, appears to be - Stand by.

16 32 57 SPT Appears to be - to point the display until you


can see the prominence. Then roll until the
prominence is parallel to the vertical scribe
marks, or recticle, and note the length of the
prominence, And also, center the base of the
prominence on the vertical - reticle.
Final

Time: 16:23:21 to 17:4h:38

SPT Then you can point - you can slew back - to


get the prominence toward the center of the
crosshairs. You know your roll is right, you
know your left/right is right, and the only
thing you have to estimate is your up/do_n.
End of message.

16 3h 13 CDR Hi there, friendly tape recorder, this is the


CDR, on day 154 and 16:35_ for an M487-3 Alfa,
subjective evaluation, guide i. Work
restraints/mobility aid: The OWS fireman's
pole; we have yet to rig the pole, and we
will do that sometime later on in the flight and
give you an evaluation. Right now, we have been
using the strap that runs from the dome to the
grid floor, and that has been sufficient for
us to transport ourselves back and forth, and
I'm sure that the fireman's pole will be in the
__ same category. The OWS dome and wall handrails
have worked out very well. I rate them very
good and - and really it's Just that there might
be a few places that you may add additional
handrails, but we have not found that to be a
problem in all, and the wall handrails, along
the wall itself around the SAL, of course, we
haven't really used. We've spent most of our time
locking ourselves into the grid floor with
our shoes, or holding onto the SAL experiments
to hold ourselves in place while we operate them•

PLT This is Skylab. We're going to do a ... expose ...


hold ... That ought to hold ... Nikon ...

SPT Wilco.

PLT While you're at it, how about the color of ...

16 35 59 CDR And the STS handrails are all right. But


unfortunately in the STS itself, - the way you
hold on to the handrails and so forth - we've
had a great deal of difficulty in not touching
the instrument panel and circuit breaker panel.
And even with the guards on them, we have most
likely with our feet, tripped a lot of circuit
breakers and thrown a lot of switches inadvertantly,

B__

and have not been aware of it at all. So,


although I rate the STS handrails as adequate,
the previous reasons were ... and Just adequate
and there is more to the problem than Just
handrails up in the STS. (Music) Now the
MDA handholds and handrails are really quite limited,
and there is enough equipment sitting around to
find places to anchor yourself. But we could
have done, I think, a lot better in thinking
out how we were going to work up there with
placing handholds and handrails in the MDA.
So I'm going to rate the MDA as poor - because
of the various items of equipment, and the
difficulty you have in holding yourself down
in there.

16 37 30 CDR The water tank foot - foot platforms, for myself,


works out extremely well. I find it quite
" - comfortable to lock my feet in the water tank
foot platform to work out the dome lockers.
I've had no trouble with any of the tasks that
have been involved. And I rate those as excellent.
The ATM foot platform has worked well. We had
the chair located at the center of it for the
person that's working at the chair, another
person can lock in at - either end and can talk
over the SIA or to get into the 126-M126
checklist box_ which we have to on occasion,
and you don't bother the person who is working
the ATM. So that has been good to work at. I
rate that as excellent.

CREW (Music)

SPT You copy those, Paul?

PLT No, I didn't.

CDR Now the portable MS12/M_79/EREP foot platform:


We have only used it in the EREP station so far,
and I have used that at the EREP station to operate
the C&D console. And I also rate that one
excellent. The portable PGA foot restraints - I
have not had an opportunityto evaluateyet -
we have not done any suited exercise, and so we
have not used them. We have found that we have
not used any of the portable handholds .... no
reason to have portable handrails; and therefore,
Final
Dump Tape 15h-06
Time: 16:23:21 to 17:44:38
Page 4 of 8

we have not used them. Portable equipment


restraints - used no tethers, but we have used
bungees quite extensively. We do use the
universal mounts. We find them quite easy to
use, and find them very handy. They work well
on the camera. They work well on the portable
fan and the TV. There are no big complaints
or anything about the universal mounts. I
think we can do a better Job on bungees. I - I
don't know exactly how. Fireproof straps - the
fireproof strap has a lot to be desired. It
doesn't work its way through buckles well,
and is not very strong. And springs have a
tendency to get permanently stretched - and the
same bunch - the same strap type of material on
either end of them makes them cumbersome to
operate, although we do use them. I rate these
f springbungees as adequate and I rate the tiedown
strap as poor. I commented a little earlier
on the ATM seat/backrest reatraint. I rate that
as very good. Some of the improvements the
SPT did, we have found that we would tilt it
a little hit differently than you would expect it.
In evaluating it at one g and - it does turn out
that it probably would be nice if it were padded
with some softer material; however, it's possible
if you worked the back and seat pad arrangement
out a little bit differently, you wouldn't quite
get the same pressure points that you get. With
that point ... I find it very good. From this -
the sense of having to work the ATM panel being
locked in at Just my feet ... this chair, I
have to rate the chair excellent. I think we
would have got very tired, very rapidly, using
our toes Just to lock in to the ATM and to work
the ATM.

SPT Hi, Paul.

PLT Hi, Joe.

PLT We got to talk - -

_ 16 41 31 CDR At this time, as of yet, I have not had an


opportunity to evaluate the conical shoe cleats
Final

Time: 16:23:21 to 17:44:38
Page 5 of 8

with the grid. I have been using the regular


triangle shoes - shoes - and they are - I would
have to rate as adequate. They do have some
shortcomings. If you're only working with one
foot locked in, it isn't a short cut at all - for
the duration of unlocking a shoe - that as it
unlocks, it's a slow down. We have found out
that it is possible somehow - at least my ...
out without it being unlocked and then when you
go to stick it back into the grid again, you
find you can't get it back in. Then, when you
find out that it's caught in the conical lock -

16 h2 26 CDR Waste management and hygiene equipment - this whole


area turned out to be a fantastically pleasant sur-
prise. I probably was most adamant against the fact
that I didn't think the fecal collection equipment
would work, and we have all discovered pleasantly
that it works in an absolutely outstanding manner,
and I have to rate it as excellent. The urine
collection equipment also, I have to say, after
all the evolutions, works in an outstanding
manner. I have to rate it as excellent. As yet,
we have not used the urine flush dispenser. The
hand washer does dispense water very well. We've
had no problems with that. I rate that as
excellent. The fecal/urine collector lap strap
and handholds are an absolute requirement to
the fecal collection equipment working correctly
in that you do have to pull the cinch down and
hold yourself down very close and firmly on the
seat in order for the air flow to work correctly.
And when you do do that, the fecal collection
equipment works excellently, and therefore the
straps are necessary. Perhaps - I'll call them
straps right here - perhaps they could be designed
to do a little bit better Job of holding you
down on the seat, than they do right now, but
we'll work on it .... this one does ... that
equipment.

16 h4 08 CDR The waste management compartment hand washer


handrail is a very usefully placed handrail. We
use it all the time. I have not used the waste
management ceiling handrail at all. And the waste
management compartment light-duty foot restraints are,
Final
Dump Tape 154-06
Time: 16:23:21 to 17:hh:38
Page 6 of 8

I thick, excellently placed, but leave a lot to


be desired, in that the strap over the foot
restraint, which is made again out of that
fireproof, not-very-strong material, is a
pain in the neck. And it hangs up the CDR's urine
drawer going in and out all the time. And they
are difficult to fit. They don't hold well
because of the excessive amount of plastic
material, whatever it is. However, when you do
get your feet in them, especially in front of the
window, or using the mirror when you're shaving,
washing your hands or anything, I find them
quite adequate and ... very well, and they
are excellently placed.

16 45 13 CDR The drying stations work all right. The


towels have a tendency to float out into the
work area. Due to the air flow, we have found ...
does an excellent Job. The shower worked
very well, but it took longer than expected.
The amount of water is adequate. It sprayed
the water on and it's very good. The only
thing is the amount of time it takes to dry
it up afterwards, and that takes a fair amount
of time. There could be improvements to the
water container and that ... on the back side
of where the controls are. It is difficult to
fill and maintain a ... bring it around aud back
to the other side but these are all minor, and
the shower works ... operate every day, make you
feel very good. And other than the fact that it
takes a little while to glop up the water, I think
it's very good.

16 46 20 CDR The wardroom table - it's adequate as to the


area ... off-duty rather than anyplace else.
Thigh restraints worked very well. However, I
think that the wardroom light-duty foot restraints
and they - give them very poor again, because I can't
use thambecause they're flat on the floor and
the material is too stiff - it's hard to get your
feet in them, and therefore most of the time, if I
,f should have my triangular shoes on, I lock into
the triangles. Next one. The water gun works
very well. We have have no trouble with the
water gun. The food trays are excellent. We had no
Final
Dump Tape 154-06
Time: 16:23:21 to 17:44:38
Page 7 of 8

trouble with the food cans. The beverage


dispensers again leave a little something to
be desired. Putting them on the reconstitution
valve and doing all those good things with the
little nozzle flopping around and ... are really
not too - not too satisfactory. The water had
air in it. There's no doubt about it that everyone
of the drinks full of air bubbles and ... caution
if you have air bubbles ... drink it right ...
air bubbles ...

CDR Yes, the salt squirts out okay, if you like


liquid salt. (Yawn) And it's better than no
salt at all. They are a kind of a pain in the
neck. You pull open, and I prefer cutting
because when you pull them open there's no
telling which way they're going to spray.
When they're cut open they spray fairly
uniformly ... The eating utensils are
fine, although I find that I can use both a
bigger fork and a bigger spoon ... three Skylab-
sized knife, fork, and spoon set.

16 h8 16 CDR The sleep restraint, I think works very well.


Again, I think there could be more improvements
to it if they would have ... the materials that
hold you against the back more solid rather than
the three straps. I think this would be an
improvement, but the basic idea of being able
to hold yourself against the back with a strap
has worked very well. The only thing that
I've left, and I don't really care for is I
don't like ... my head (yawn) so I usually
slide down far enough in the shaft to put my
head next to the - underneath part of the pillow
or on the side of the pillow that faces towards
my feet and move back up S° ... so that the side
of the pillow holds my head back in towards
my body, and I sleep in all four positions ... my
right side, left side, back, and roll all over
the way over facing the . ..

M487-3 Alfa debriefing. Thank you.

At the beginning of this pass, a strange thing
happened. I went Sun center, turned the WHITE
LIGHT CHRONOGRAPH MAIN POW]_ to ON, did not
expect or get a READY light, went ahead and
issued a START command, and I began taking
exposures as evidenced by the frame counter. At
the end of the series, I went TV MONITOR
to the WHITE LIGHT CHRONOGRAPH position, and
io and behold, I had a picture. Now my
expectation was that when I turned the main
power from STANDBY to ON, the mirror would be
positioned to the CAMERA position. But
evidently, it wasn't. I am going to repeat the
standard series to make certain that we get
photographs. And that's the end of message.

13 49 20 PLT Hello, B channel, for the EREP alignment check at


13:49. And the S192 power was turned on 35 minutes
ago at 13:14. At 13:49, the following readings were
noted: Bravo 3 is reading 83; Charlie 3, reading 88;
Delta 3, reading 85; Charlie 5 is reading 40; Delta 5
is reading 13; Delta 6 is reading hO.

14 46 29 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is for the EREP people.


I Just checked film set Lima. (Music) They all look
good. Surprisingly, the two ... cassettes which I Just
loaded about a week ago, had more sets from where
they creme over the rollers than the other four which
I had advanced manually. However, in all six maga-
zines, the fi]_m does take up properly. It winds
nice and tightly on the takeup spool cassette - or
the takeup cassette spool. So I think it's no pro-
blem, but I don't understand, as I say, why the new
anes have more sets for being the same position for
the same length of time than the old ones do. Now,
on this visible alignment on S192, this is a most
frustrating thing. It does not behave in flight like
it did on the ground. I had a good aligament at one
time, sad in an attempt to peak it up, I've lost
the stinking thing and I have been working for 45
minutes trying to get it back. I've gone over the
procedure. I - There's no sense reading you values
down as to what happens when you focus it. I've done
it three times and each time the readings get worse.
I'm Just going to let it sit for a while and come
back to it, but I think once I get a fairly decent
setting, we probably ought to let it go at that.
End of message.

14 49 37 PLT Also, tape recorder, I've Just noticed that if I -


you cannot - also, when you're trying to focus or
align the visible channel, you cannot help but load
up that whole optical train. And it results in
reflections which show up on the meter. I Just
looked back and checked the film alignment, and it
was down to 20-something percent. Now in focusing
it and readjusting it, it affected my existing visible
reading. (Cough) I can't stress too much, as I said
before, how frustrating this is, and we'll try to
- average them out. I guess the thing to do is tweak

18:10:26 SPT Okay, tape recorder, a few comments about - about


today's EREP pass. First thing being the failure to
open the S190 window cover. We think that probably
the best way to avoid that is, at the beginning of the
pass, you have preoperate configuration and in the
appropriate places to add such items as 192 door,
190 door, 191 door, and a tape recorder. I also rec-
ommend that the follow-on crew bring as cue cards,
page 1-1 out of the EREP Checklist, which is the
s_,-,,arytimeline and use those. I think once you get
familiar enough with checklist, that you can Just use
that suw--_ry timeline, and that's a whole lot better
and easier to follow that the checklist itself. I
got some comments on these nadar swaths today. At
17:08:35, during that nadar swath, we passed over a -
The head of a building ... cumulonimbus was coming
up through some - wha_ appeared to be some cirrostratus,
some stratiform clouds anyway, and - we passed right
• over it. Shortly after that the ground track from then
on was essentially fair weather cmnuliform. At 09:56,
that's 17:09:56, the swath crossed a lake. At 13:57,
Just as prior to the time for the last _nadar swath,
the swath passed right down the side, along side of
a cumulonimbus. That's at 07:13:57. At 07:15:37 was
over open water. At 17:15:50, for 6 seconds, then the
swath crossed over land. That's about all that's
significant on that pass. And - also tape recorder was
depleted postpass, and that's the end of the message.

to H-alpha i, full-zoem in, and, by the time I got to

back down near the active region and I saw a little
light area there at the upper edge of my picture, and
I said, "Well, maybe that's the bright spot occurring
up here; maybe we're going to get some activity."
Didn't look at the big picture. So, I guess what you
got on the first building block 3 was enhanced network.

comments. I started the second rev of JOP IA and,
instead of doing the J0P 6 initially, I opted it to
do the J0P IA steps 3 and 4 initially, because I was
already pointed there and because I felt that the
quiet network would be very difficult to relocate if
I moved away from it. I'll get the J0P 6 in. It
appears to be easier to relocate the network cell if
you observe it and sketch it and locate it with about
a half-zoomed-out position on H-alpha l, rather than
full-zoomed in. Full-zoomed in tends to obscure the
outline of the network cells in favor of detail, ...
had, and so forth, which becomes so complex, that it
all looks the same. So I'd reco_nend, in the trainer,
that you guys try to locate yourselves and mark
them zoomed out about halfway. End of message.

22 15 25 sPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 22:15. I'm


going to amaze the ATM PIs with an example of erudite
misuse of words. I have done a prominence survey
around the limb of the Sun. - -

SC ...

SPT And in addition to seeing the old prominence 62 Just


disappearing behind the west limb, I have on the
• east llmb, with the experiment roll of minus 8500,
a - beautiful-looking prominence, which we call a bi-
furcating, almost loop prominence. It's not really a
loop prominence. But it's a bifurcating tree-trunk
prominence, (lau@hter) which we report in hopes that
it may portend further activities coming up around the
east limb. End of message, Incidentally, the rest of
the Sun was void and bare of prominii [sic].

22 26 13 SPT There's one.

22 26 26 PLT l, 2, 3, 2. Hi, there'

22 26 45 PLT Hello, friendly tape recorder; this is your friendly


cre,_. We are gathered together around our unround
table for a roundtable discussion on M487-2 Alfa to
the crew debriefing. The first question is, "What
particular aspect of the orbital assembly seems well
designed and arranged for living and working in
zero g?" What aspects are deficient and how?" For
the answer to that, I'll turn you over to Dr. Kerwin.

when they located it that it did - that it was ... that
it could be made into ... backwards and get to the
checklist locker. You can place much of the equipment
that comes on and off the EREP cameras that you need
to work on remaining affixed to it in some manner, not
necessarily the same orientation; you have to move
around on it. But it turns out to be an excellent
thing. As far aS the other things and all that, I'll
l_t the other gus make comments on it. There's no
doubt about it; I think that we are happy that we
brought the chair along. Guess what. It does not do
the Job fuily and the whole ATM could he better de-
si_ed for operation ... right now.

22 29 17 SPT Noi I don't know what _t is, but the ATM was designed
to be worked in a one-g enviromen%. It really was.
And that's the wa_- we trained on it. But up here - I
think Pete's right. In that you don't really want to
si£ at it - sit in it in front of a chair [sic]. Nei-
ther do you want to stand on that foot restrs/nt plat-
form we have. I'm not sure what you want. I guess
maybe we're Saying that this whole panel layout is
eye-enhanced. Distances of the various switches and
displays on that panel were not optimized for a crew-
man in zero g. As a matter of fact, they weren't
really optimized for _ crewman in one g. But they're
doing the Job. My comments on the [_)A as a whole are
that it's a - it's an - it's an efficient way to ar-
range equipment, but the size of the MDA, which is
very good for hanging onto things, is not too good for
traffic. If two people @re workin_ the/-e, sometimes
the third guy can't get by.

22 31 2h PL T Anything else on the MDA? Press on to the airlock.


We really haven't done anything in the airlock yet.
Yes. Yes. Okay. So now we're into the dome area.
Okay. I suppose I've probably done as much up in the
dome there - well, Joe, you hung the portable fan. I
cleaned the ... screens twice. Pete and I hung the
condensate tank and I must say that those leg re-
straints that are bolted onto the lockers work quite
well for maneuvering that. Yes, me, too. That was
really a piece of cake. We thought it was going to
be a great big blimit to handle up _here and maneuver
into place, and it really went well. Even though it
was 130 degrees in there at the time. I tell you, my
primary restraint when I've been working at the inlet
_creens has been to Just kind of wrap my - not wrap
them around but clamp - a duct - a soft fabric part
of a duct betweem ,_'V legs _nd stabilize myself that
_ay. : Otherwise, there are plenty of handholds. I got
no problem on the dome. Joe, you got anything about
that fan? .... _ -- : ___

PLT No, it was no problem. It's easier to work by the ...


in the do_e locker region than it is up where the fan
is, because you're right. What you_need is not hand-
holds up there. Handholds are strictly for translation.
You don't need them for translation. You push off and
get there. You need them to grab onto. What you need
for working up there are legholds, like the soft part
of the duct - llke the knee knockers on the film
lockers or like the water ring where you can stick a
foot in. Something to restrain your body so you can
-work with you! handsJ All the handrails ... Yes.

know, all this stuff that we have in there ... the
best way to have it .... a airlock, to go to a dome
locker ... Just take aim at wherever it is you want
to go and take off. You can get pretty close. Every
day longer that we're up here the better we get at that
sort of thing. I know that over the - the line to the

-- 22 35 02 SPT Another thing about that water ring, foot restraint,


or whatever we call it is that I had a couple of tasks
to do like stringing the water tank hoses and my favor-
ite one - the portable water tank and a couple of
other things, and again I - you can't hook your feet
in them when you're working on it. And I Just laid
along horizontal or parallel to it and again clasped
it with my legs, because you really don't want to
sacrifice that hand for stability. You want to be
able to maintain your stability with your feet ....
we better - we better move on.

22 36 h6 PLT I think the high-angle grid invention is a good


idea - -

CDR Oh, yes. Yes.

PLT - - because you need something to stick your feet in.


And this - the whole experiment compartment is kind of
one-g oriented, and-a lot of-people have always said,
"Aw, you don't need that. You'd rather - you know,
you'll be hanging from the ceiling. You'll be hanging
_f-om the sides. We can make the nomenclature upside
down." We don't do that. We, at least I, operate in
here pretty much in the same body position as I did
in training. How you get from one place to another
is grossly different% You push off the float. But
onceLyou get there, you want to be stabilized by the
.-- legs or the thighs end the feet someplace where you
can do the Job_ Yes, Pete mentioned there's one corner
-of the experiment there. It is so crowded and clut-
tered that I can hardly believe it. The one where the
shower is. Between the centrifh/ge, the shower - and,
that's a busy place. Fortu/_ately, you don't have to
step over the shower to get to the tool kit and that
tool kit is the best idea that - anybody's had. We've
been into that many times since activation for a lot of
different reasons. One other comment, when you trans-
late-tb a surface, it's good to have something like
the blue handrails on the surface to grab hold of and

you're having. If it's a flat surface, you tend to do

have to say the triangle shoes. I really think they


are the most useful, versatile restraint device we
have around. Let me think about it while we pass it
on to Joe.

SPT I agree with that. I wish we had two pairs of triangle


so I could put the triangle triangles on one and the
button triamgles on the other and then I'd wear the
button triangles for moving around all day and the
triangle triangles to ride the bike. The least useful
device maybe has been those cloth strap foot restraints
that are in the wardroom and also in the head. You
need something like that at that location, but the
cloth straps don't stay put. They are too small to
get in with your shoes. They are too hard to adjust
with - with triangle shoes, that is, and they're
f generally cranky _nd poor design and we don't use
them much.

SC Not very effective.

22 hl 31 81=9 Yes, right. Not very effective. At 5 psi, I guess, the


sound doesn't - is not as strong or doesn't carry as far
or something. Within the MDA you can - we always do -
you're almost always hollering at somebody within
the workshop, I think. You certainly don't shout - -

SC ...

SPT - - I know. It doesn't - that's right. We're all


hoarse all the time. You certainly don't try to shout
from the workshop to the MDA. That just flat doesn't
work. The intercom boxes for IVA comm have been all
right; for voice recording, they've been safisfactory;

for ground comm, they've been terrible because of the


feedback. We always had it in one g, 15 psi. In the
chamber out at St. Louis in the MDA, we didn't have
much feedback and things looked pretty rosy then.
But here you're continually going around and Houston
calls and you answer, and it squeals and you've got to
go down and turn down another volume.

-22 42-45 - CDR -Part of that problem is very specific. If you don't -
-we use the box in the wardroom mainly, and if you turn
=6h the box in the experiment compartment here, you've
-_ot to run over ... by the }4131 chair it seems that's
the wardroom one. By the same token, they've changed
-- the wardroom one ... to cure the SAL airlock boxes,
_and so we have to continually leave those off; and if
you're working in SAL and another guy's in the wardroom
and you're both trying to talk to Houston, then you're
really in trouble.

idea to have the head right next to the sleeping

22 50 20 CDR Yes, we're running right around 7h or 75 degrees in


the OWS. I still think it's - it's because of our

running about 60 - 60 to 59 degrees, which is definitely
colder.

$PT Humidity and airflow. I don't have any ... The


airflow's higher than I thought it would be.

PLT _ The airflow is much more effective than I thought it


would be. You lose something, and in about 20 minutes
... OWS dom_. But you usually find it there. Depend-
i ing on where it may end up there a couple of days
later. But the airflow in the workshop is much, much
more effective.

22 15 h5 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 22:15. I'm


going to amaze the ATM Pls with an example of erudite
misuse of words. I have done a prominence survey
around the limb of the Sun. - -

SC ...

SPT And in addition to seeing the old prominence 62 Just


disappearing behind the west limb, I have on the
east limb, with the experiment roll of minus 8500,
a - beautiful-looking prominence, which we call a bi-
furcating, almost loop prominence. It's not really a
loop prominence. But it's a bifurcating tree-trunk
prominence, (laughter) which we report in hopes that
it may portend further activities coming up around the
east limb. End of message. Incidentally, the rest of
the Sun was void and bare of prominii [sic].

22 26 13 SPT There's one.

22 26 26 PLT i, 2, 3, 4. Hi, there'

22 26 h5 PLT Hello, friendly tape recorder; this is your friendly


crew. We are gathered together around our unround
table for a roundtahle discussion on M487-2 Alia to
the crew debriefing. The first question is, "What
particular aspect of the orbital assembly seems well
designed and arranged for livin_ and workin_ in
zero g?" What aspects are deficient and how?" For
the answer to that, I'll turn you over to Dr. Kerwin.

SPT _5 /

CDR That's not what he wants. I guess he wants the whole
thing ....

SPT Yes, all right. Well, what do you think of the MDA?

CDH ... MDA, and this mainly concerns ... the electrical
vehicle with equipment mounted around the circumference
- of a circle. And ... a center retreat that's light
enough ... bringing yourself in slowly ... equipment.
Now, you have put these things with the EREP TV

console ... equipment. And I doubt that they realized


when they located it that it did - that it was ... that
it could be made into ... backwards and get to the
checklist locker. You can place much of the equipment
that comes on and off the EREP cameras that you need
to work on remaining affixed to it in some manner, not
necessarily the same orientation; you have to move
around on it. But it turns out to be an excellent
thing. As far as the other things and all that, I'll
let the other gus make comments on it. There's no
doubt about it; I think that we are happy that we
brought the chair along. Guess what. It does not do
the Job fully and the whole ATM could be better de-
signed for operation ... right now.

22 29 17 SPT No, I don't know what it is, but the ATM was designed
to be worked in a one-g enviroment. It really was.
And that's the way we trained on it. But up here - I
think Pete's right. In that you don't really want to
sit at it - sit in it in front of a chair [sic]. Nei-
ther do you want to stand on that foot restraint plat-
form we have. I'm not sure what you want. I guess
maybe we're saying that this whole panel layout is
eye-enhanced. Distances of the various switches and
displays on that panel were not optimized for a crew-
man in zero g. As a matter of fact, they weren't
really optimized for a crewman in one g. But they're
doing the job. My comments on the MDA as a whole are
that it's a - it's an - it's an efficient way to ar-
range equipment, but the size of the MDA, which is
very good for hanging onto things, is not too good for
traffic, If two people are working there, sometimes
the third guy can't get by.

22 30 26 PLT The only thing I have to say is the MDA is not as


large in zero g as I thought it would be. You can
really hang onto things and work diametrically, eas-
ier than I thought we'd be able to.

22 30 38 CDR ... stuff is very blocky. And various pieces of equip-


ment that you can hang your feet under - a wire bundle
or equipment straps that held - like the ... we used -
the straps, you know, that holds the ... to put our
foot under to operate the CDS [?] console. Now that
was one that I had felt ... the pads ... used ... were
great for the operator. It maybe more - comfortable
operating - it might be attached onto the CD8 [?]
panel ... CDS panel as when you ... gravity ...

22 31 24 PLT Anything else on the MDA? Press on to the airlock.


We really haven't done anything in the airlock yet.
Yes. Yes. Okay. So now we're into the dome area.
Okay. I suppose I've probably done as m_ch up in the
dome there - well, Joe, you hung the portable fan. I
cleaned the ... screens twice. Pete and I hung the
condensate tank and I must say that those leg re-
straints that are bolted onto the lockers work quite
well for maneuvering that. Yes, me, too. That was
really a piece of cake. We thought it was going to
be a great big blimit to handle up there and maneuver
into place, and it really went well, Even though it
was 130 degrees in there at the time. I tell you, my
primary restraint when I've been working at the inlet
screens has been to Just kind of wrap my - not wrap
them around but clamp - a duct - a sofft fabric part
of a duct betweemmy legs and stabilize myself that
way. Otherwise, there are plenty of handholds. I got
no problem on the dome. Joe, you got anything about
that fan?

PLT No, it was no problem. It's easier to work by the ...


in the dome locker region than it is up where the fan
is, because you're right. What you need is not hand-
holds up there. Handholds are strictly for translation.
You don't need them for translation. You push off and
get there. You need them to grab onto. What you need
for working up there are legholds, like the soft part
of the duct - like the knee knockers on the film
lockers or like the water ring where you can stick a
foot in. Something to restrain your body so you ean
work with your hands. All the handrails ... Yes.
The other thing about - those are the ... good side
... The one thing ... you can move around, bend your
body back and forth, do your exercising, get a little
sensation of largeness. The other thing, it would be
an ideal kind of enclosure around which to situate
experiments and things to operate, with plenty of ...
in the middle.

22 33 hi CDR Yes, I think - I think the thing that ts turned out


about - the whole upper experiments area is the fact
that it is so easy to operate. I think we were all
worried before we started out on the flight that it
a_

Page 4 of ii

was going to be so big that we were going to get, you


know, all this stuff that we have in there ... the
best way to have it .... a alrlock, to go to a dome
locker ... just take aim at wherever it is you want
to go and take off. You can get pretty close. Every
day longer that we're up here the better we get at that
sort of thing. I know that over the - the line to the
SAL - the SAL power cables ... and the SAL instrumenta-
tion cables are stowed in the dome locker, and it's
nothing to just give yourself a little shove with your
feet and you are right straight up in front of it ...
in there and work in those lockers - the lockers that
have the heavy gear in them .... down in them ...
equipment ... are well placed ... for ... people that
I had no trouble working on any of the EREP experi-
ment s.

22 35 02 SPT Another thing about that water ring, foot restraint,


or whatever we call it is that I had a couple of tasks
to do like stringing the water tank hoses and my favor-
ite one - the portable water tank and a couple of
other things, and again I - you can't hook your feet
in them when you're working on it. And I Just laid
along horizontal or parallel to it and again clasped
it with my legs, because you really don't want to
sacrifice that hand for stability. You want to be
able to maintain your stability with your feet ....
we better - we better move on.

22 35 53 CDR Yes, ... let's talk about those things. The triangle
wedge is a great way to lock yourself in except it
looks like you could lock yourself almost anywhere and
that's not really true at all .... looking for places
to lock in that we're working at especially ...
equipment-like ... to get the heaters ... down here,
something llke that .... all I can see Just to find a
place to lock it - the right side of the bicycle -
they ... ergometer to shower .... to try it. Yes.
And, well, I ... to try it.

SPT ... if you wear the button instead of the triangles


then there are more places to - You're not quite as
constrained as ...
Final

Page 5 of ii

22 36 46 PLT I think the high-angle grid invention is a good


idea - -

CDR Oh, yes. Yes.

PLT - - because you need something to stick your feet in.


And this - the whole experiment compartment is kind of
one-g oriented, and a lot of people have always said,
"Aw, you don't need that. You'd rather - you know,
you'll be hanging from the ceiling. You'll be hanging
from the sides. We can make the nomenclature upside
down." We don't do that. We, at least I, operate in
here pretty much in the same body position as I did
in training. How you get from one place to another
is grossly different. You push off the float. But
once you get there, you want to be stabilized by the
- legs or the thighs and the feet someplacewhere you
can do the Job. Yes, Pete mentioned there's one corner
of the experiment there. It is so crowded and clut-
tered that I can hardly believe it. The one where the
shower is. Between the centrifuge, the shower - and,
that's a busy place. Fortunately, you don't have to
step over the shower to get to the tool kit and that
tool kit is the best idea that - anybody's had. We've
been into that many times since activation for a lot of
different reasons. One other comment, when you trans-
late to a surface, it's good to have something like
the blue handrails on the surface to grab hold of and
torque your body or stop a pitch rate of whatever
you're having. If it's a flat surface, you tend to do
some scrambling around. In the wardroom, I noticed
that the edges of the locker stanchion are recessed
so that you can grab them with your fingers. That's
a good idea on somebody's part. So much for that
question. How about - you want to say anything about
the compartment - the head - What are we talking about?
Yes. We got carried away on that. Okay. Yes.

SC ...

PLT Which restraint device offered the most assistance in


performing tasks; which the least? If you want to
pick out one device, in my particular case, I would
Final
Dump Tape 155-12
Time: 22:15:h6 to 22:52:28
Page 6 of ll

have to say the triangle shoes. I really think they


are the most useful, versatile restraint device we
have around. Let me think about it while we pass it
on to Joe.

SPY I agree with that. I wish we had two pairs of triangle


so I could put the triangle triangles on one and the
button triamgles on the other and then I'd wear the
button triangles for moving around all day and the
triangle triangles to ride the bike. The least useful
device maybe has been those cloth strap foot restraints
that are in the wardroom and also in the head. You
need something like that at that location, but the
cloth straps don't stay put. They are too small to
get in with your shoes. They are too hard to adjust
- with - with triangle shoes, that is, and they're
generally cranky and poor design and we don't use
them much.

CDR ... foot restraints. It may be - -

$C ...

CDR The other thing is ... the head ... said earlier ...

PLT ... elastic ... I think you already said it ....

CDR ... Now, I ... all the way back ...

PLT Yes. Yes. Here's nonassisted verbal co_unications,


that is hollering, how effective has it been?

SC Not very effective.

22 hi 31 SPT Yes, right. Not very effective. At 5 psi, I guess, the


sound doesn't - is not as strong or doesn't carry as far
or something. Within the MDA you can - we always do -
you're almost always hollering at somebody within
the workshop, I think. You certainly don't shout - -

SC ...

SPT - - I know. It doesn't - that's right. We're all


hoarse all the time. You certainly don't try to shout
from the workshop to the MDA. That just flat doesn't
work. The intercom boxes for IVA co_ have been all
right; for voice recording, they've been safisfactory;
Final
Dump Tape 155-12
Time: 22:15:h5 to 22:52:28
Page 7 of ll

for ground comm, they've been terrible because of the


feedback. We always had it in one g, 15 psi. In the
chamber out at St. Louis in the _DA, we didn't have
much feedback and things looked pretty rosy then.
But here you're continually going around and Houston
calls and you answer, and it squeals and you've got to
go down and turn down another vol_Lme.

22 42 h5 CDR Part of that problem is very specific. If you don't -


we use the box in the wardroom mainly, and if you turn
on the box in the experiment compartment here, you've
got to run over ... by the M131 chair it seems that's
the wardroom one. By the same token, they've changed
the wardroom one ... to cure the SAL airlock boxes,
and so we have to continually leave those off; and if
_- you're working in SAL and another guy's in the wardroom
and you're both trying to talk to Houston, then you're
really in trouble.

22 43 23 SPT How satisfactory are the food management and dining


accommodations? How well does the food adhere to the
utensils when eating? Would a closer tray-to-mouth
proximity have improved eating ease? ... first ...

PLT I think that the constraints at the food table could


be improved. Particularly the foot part of it.

22 43 45 CDR I always - you know what I always ...

PLT I think the basic idea of going to the family style


is good. There are small inconveniences in the ward-
room where people have to climb all over each other
to get at the trash box or the stowage locker for
dirty cans, for the wetwipes, for the meal trays.
But that kind of thing is not the basic feasibility
of the design. It's Just a little efficiency ex-
pertism [?] in the layout.

PLT Yes my wlfe ...

SPT Yes. And the wardroom window is worth it's weight


in the spacecraft.It's terrific.

CDR The one thing that we asked most, though - and this
is a chronic problem - ... but to this day nobody
has successfully got the gas, whatever gas it is, out
of the water, We have problems rehydrating our food
right now, especially with the hot water. When we
Final
Dump Tape 155-12
Time: 22:15:45 to 22:52:28
Page 8 of Ii

rehydrate the bags, fill them all the way up - we


opened the seal inside on the food fold bag so that
the food's already up ... you go to cut it, and that
makes that too difficult to handle. It makes getting
the food difficult to handle, and it blows the bag up.
Now - -

22 45 20 SPT Yes, I think what's partially ... the matter ...


pushed a button and left the dehydrated food more and
more like the ... It's a better variety of food
product [?].

i 22 _5 33 CDR Yes .... But even so, it would be nice to Jab the
gas out of the water first. If you drink - -

-- SPT Oh, it would be great for that. Although a lot of


the - to me a lot of the trouble involved is making
it real dehydrated.

CDR Yes. I agree.

22 h5 52 PLT Following that layout I think - I think it's a bad


idea to have the head right next to the sleeping
compartment, expecially with the layout we have, with
the urine separators and the blower in the common
bulkhead between the two. If somebody gets up at
night and has to go to the bathroom, and you turn on
the separator and the blower, and it's - you tend to
wake up people that are sleeping.

SPT What safety problems have arisen that are directly


related to habitability?

PLT None.

SC ...

SPT (Laughter) What unanticipated problems have occured


in performing various activation, housekeeping, or
experiment acti@ities to date? Are there any common
difficulties that can be traced to inadequacies of
-- design, onboard provisions, or preflight preparations?

CDR I think the answer to that question is a very general


answer. I think we were pleasantly surprised to

Page 9 of ll

see ... The place that really ... is having your hands
full of ... Obvious, no problems ... But it gets very
hard to make yourself ...

S_ Very good point. I think that the next generation


should come up with some clever ... pieces of gear
with - put away places. Whether they be ... little
boxes with ... openings or quadruple rubber clamps
like we have where you Just push them on with ...

FLT They're not in the - I don't need the dang things -


They're - We're - -

CDR Not another clamp! I got them.

of Velcro all over the vehicle, and we don't have

particular, what tools are well suited and what
tools are poorly suited for use in zero g?

put about six or eight pieces together to get the

II ii 53 SPT Good morning, Friendly tape recorder. Here are the


PRD readings for this morning at ll:10. In the
private sleep compartment: 06081; in the wardroom,
or rather the experiment, 44051; at the minus-Z
SAL: 18074.

ii 16 13 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the CDR. Oh, no; this


is the SPT speaking. I haven't taken over the ship
yet. At 11:15 with the M133 log. Dear M133 PI,
first, I'ii just read the sleep quality and time
codes from my log to kind of catch you up. And then
I'ii discuss the use of the - of the sleep compart-
ment cap last night. On day 150, I logged 6 hours
of good sleep. That was the first night with the
cap; I was tired. On day 151, I logged 6 hours of
fair sleep, woke up a few times. The cap can - does,
f I think, tend to make you wake up a little more often.
You can't use the - the headcurtain on the bed the
way it's intended to when you have the cap on, and
I like to use that. And it's a small encumbrance.
It's noticeably different. This is the reason why
I hope that on the next flight Owen will get 2 or 3
nights of - of normal sleep in between using the
cap. On day 152, I logged 4-1/2 hours fair sleep.
At day 155, I logged 5-1/2 hours of good sleep, and
there was no problem there, but at 06:00 Greenwich,
I got up to photograph a couple of good European
passes and went back to bed at 08:00. So I lost out
on some sleep there. Last night, which we'll call
156, I got 7-1/2 hours of good sleep using the old
cap. Now once again, when I broke out the old cap,
the electrodes were just a tad puffy and Just a tad
soft. The appearance wasn't very abnormal, but it
was a little abnormal. When I cut them open, they
were obviously drier than the dome elec - the dome
cap electrodes. When you squeeze them, the Juice
comes up out of the bottom and it's obviously thick-
er. All your good electrolytes are there, but some
of the water has evaporated away. The only thing I
did about it besides squeezing them was to use Just
a little dab of good old Yankee spit on each elec-
trode. I put the cap on and got good contact lights
-- and immediatelywent to sleep. I'm interestedto
know whether you got results all night because first

thing in the morning I turned the switch to TEST, and


I didn't have any lights. I started pressing in the
middle electrode and boom! In a minute the back
electrodes came in. And a little work - rocking each
electrode - and the electrodes came in fine. However,
there may have been some dropouts due to drying during
the night. It seems to me that all the good stuff is
in there and that at the worst you could figure out a
way of using either water or normal saline with a
syringe, of which we have plenty in the IMSS Kit, to
make those caps go. And I recommend that I bring one
cap home and you - work on it and come back with some
simple procedure for altering it. I don't think it
would take a little more than - hopefully lO minutes
to do that Job. End of message.

that a clear spot in the clouds and track that.

and getting hack out, as I mentioned, drive is
about 50 seconds late getting hack onto the nadir

words about that VTS. You have much resolution,
things looks a little - I don't know - small
things are small - hard to find in it. The
small field of view is the biggest problem. I
think if we ever build anything like this again,

quite a bit larger field of view. End of message.

18 37 03 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is for the EREP people


and for Captain Bean's crew, regarding an EREP tape
recorder. It happened twice to us so far. I think
people ought to be alert to it and watch for it.
That when you pull that tape out to clean the
heads and put it back in, it's very, very easy to
have it come off the last bit of compliance rollers
a little bit too high, such as the top edge as you
look down in the machine of the tape gets rolled over
a little bit by that flange on the compliance roller.
So just alert the next crew that they ought to be
careful there and watch for it, whenever they put
that tape back through the head. End of message.

we're talking about the - substantial movement in the
area of i arc minute in an hour. Farther north the

one, I pointed the white light coronograph in the
conventional fashion, centering the needles with the
manual pointing controller. But the second pass
through the rev, I have called up the TV display,
centered as well as I could with the TV display, and
then backed off enough to get a READY light plus a
couple more notches on - on the dial to make sure
I pretempt the READY light during the performance
of the walk. The readings - on the white align
indicator are right, 20; and up, 10; and when you

16 56 48 PLT Friendly B channel, to finish up the ATMpass at


16:57. We're looking at the new little bright spot,
which is at about 280.7, I'd say. And noticing that
it has the appearance on each Alpha this morning of
being a new active region. There are two areas of
plage, the trailing one being the brighter and being
-- quite bright. The small is simple; they are oriented
north/south with a neutral line between them. I don't
see any - I do not see any - I do not see any evidence
of arch filaments on the - white light XUV SLIT monitor.

_'tB#recent M092 run_ It is now 20: 18. I hav_ ,.
the following comments to make for the PI and t_
_ical operations folks. Terminated the run early,
ed on the parameters that Paul Just read you, and
I - subjective feeling of a little dizziness and a
l_ttle cold sweat. What I want to emphasize is that
_his is:no_ much of a change, in my opinion, froml the

_s_[ts
_s I toldof Dr.
the Ross
previous M092 night,
the other runs that
and I I hate
think_adW,f
I ;
_mt this on B channel i. In my opinion we've all
been on the narrow edge on M092 ever since the first
run when we were up here. It appears to be a large
.... step function as a result of being in zero-g and
in losing girth in the calves and tissue fluid.
And the only differences I can surmise for today's
run, that I had just eaten a meal and that I hadn't
had much to drink today. But I don't think there's
_en any essential The

ero g, it tends _
to suck you a little further into the can. I don't
think thatwas significant at all. You woD-Id have

20 43 57 CDR Hello, friendly B channel, for the ATM people. On


the ATM pass, at 20:00:03. J0P 2A, paragraph 6,
building block 7 says, "Roll 89_B SLIT for uniform
H-Alpha emission." I thought I had done that but
in further pursuing the XUV MON, it looks _ike I
h_d it rolled a little bit too far, because the
XUV MON had - none of the crosshairs really lined
up because you really got to figure out where you
are and it took a little while to do that, and I
guess ... roll .... little bit into that active
region above the limb, right now. Sorry about that.

21 20 15 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT, at 21:20,


debriefing the MlT1 run. The run went very well
subjectively from a standpoint of restraint and
difficulty, using no restraints at all. Now, when I
do this I personally have different ways to use my
arms. Number 1 is to let my body go up until my head
is touching the wire channel near the speaker box
on the ceiling and then I put my arms forard to that -
in the grid and more or less balance and act as sway
breakers. They don't take up much load. The other
way is to hold on to the forward adjustment strap,
and the third way is to hold on to the handlebars. I
alternate the three ways so as to take the strain on
different muscles, it works very nicely. Along these
lines I would strongly recommend that the oncoming
crews start now to train on a horizontal bike, where
they will get this kind of lull. You have to bicycle
on the wall and have a flat bed adjustable up and
down so as to give the guy the right seat location.
And it will slide in and out freely on wheels or some-
thing for them. They ought to train that way because
it will train the right muscles and give somebody an
idea of what the problem is. You might want - even
wsnt to take some baseline data that way if the guys
have time. Okay. On the run itself, there were a
couple of anomalous-looking things. For one, the 02
consumed, once again, came out consistently and sur-
prisingly lower than the CO 2 produced. And having
seen this both ways, I'm inclined to think that this
is a calibration drift or an inaccuracy in the machine,
particularly after the trouble we had this morning -
.... this afternoonin calibratingit.

CDR-EVA No, I think - I think that I want the BET first.

SPT-EVA That's right. You do want the BET first. Really


not a big deal, but you're right. The procedure
calls for the BEY first. Where the heck's the
BET (laughter). There it is.

have to do that pitch maneuver, because I se-
cured both ends to the rod. I have to pitch over
to reach them. It's okay.

15 32 55 CDR-EVA They're free. Now I got to watch the solar panel.


Now, there're the kind of dynamics you get into.
Watch that strap. See that? That son-of-a-gun

turn it around.

PLT Watch that solar panel, Pete.

CDR-EVA It's a long one. First I have to loosen this end

on the screen.

SPT Is that what that is?

CDR I couldn't figure out what it was.

MCC The inside, Pete, or the outside?

15 19 29 CDR On the inside. There must have been enough moisture


in the air, Rusty, that it - as it hit the screen,
why it must have been super cool; it froze and it
is a rather weird looking fellow. That's what
taking the lock so long to dump down. I'd say it
t ouch -

CDR No. It's a solid block. I guess I can.

SPT Yes.

CDR Well, I don't want to.

if it does block you completely.

SPT It's in the pores of the screen, Rusty. We'd have


to break the screen in order to ...

PLT Yes, it's still coming down. I'm reading about


0.5 or 0.6.

SPT Okay.

dump is ...

15 20 53 MCC P.J. have you got a minute there? While we're


going down, sometime on panel 203, we'd like to
turn the ATM coolant loops - loop ptmlps, all three
of them OFF. I'd like to have you verify that.

CDR You know what's happened here, our flow is equal to


what it will take out now. It's holding about
one-half of psi.

PLT Yes, the bolts would be angled. The angle is bolted


to the meteoroid shield Just as the two angles are
bolted together.

CDR-EVA But what I 'm trying to tell you is that none of the
angle part is left. In other words, it broke off
right at the intersection of the angles on both sides
and what you have is a strip of the center. You have
the perpendicular part, and that's it.

PLT That's all, huh? That ought to be fairly soft.

CDR-EVA The part with the bolts in it, between three pieces.
0ne-halfof an angle side, one-halfof angle side,

PLT They're bolted. You've got to bolt through on both


angles and a doubler.

through it, but that's all it is, it's a strip.

some d_mb thing, and hold on with another hand and
drive this whole suit to get the right darn angle to
stick it in that hole.

CDR-EVA I'm not going to waste a lot of time on it.

SPT-EVA If it proves unsuccessful, let's go ahead and cut

the best place to cut it.

SPT-EVA All right.

PLT Now wait - First you're supposed to transfer your


tether from the cutter to the BET.

CDR-EVA Oh, yes. I'ii do that.

17 29 29 PLT Okay, and then before he cuts it, you're supposed


to move back to the hinge.

out it.

know.

SPT-EVA But that wasn't in my Job description. Back in the


hatch.

PLT Okay. Now when you - when he gets it on, you trans-
fer your tether and check where the Jaws[?] is. When
it's in position, then you move back beyond the hinge
line.

CDR-EVA Understand.

PLT Okay?

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT Joe takes any slack you may have out of your LSU; and
you go shead and cut through it, if you can, Joe.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT Then you get the pole, so it's not in the arc of the
wing, and that's when you do your Hercules bit, Pete.

CDR-EVA Yes.

17 30 40 SPT-EVA All right, Pete, that means that when it's all set
and before I cut it, I'm going to leave my station,

CDR-EVA Yes. No, no. Aaah, come here.

17 50 57 SPT-EVA Let me know if you need more slack.

CDR-EVA Well, not yet.

CDR-EVA Hang in there. Take tension in it. Okay. Now lead


off a little. Try her one more time. Ach! Gol darn
it! Joe, I think we're wasting our time on this.

SPT-EVA I do, too. Have you got the one?

CDR-EVA I've got the one. I don't know - give her another
go one time. I don't think it's worth it.

SPT-EVA I don't either.

CDR-EVA Got good tension in it?

SPT-EVA Well, wait a minute, I'm trying to secure it without


losing the tension. I don't have good tension on
it right at this moment.

CDR-EVA Okay.

17 52 12 SPT-EVA So keep tending it up there for me for a minute,


while I take another couple of loops. All right.
Now I've got good tension in it. Almost as much
tension as I think I can get. I might get one more
hook. No, I don't think I can.

CC Okay, Pete, when he's ready, then you transfer your


tether to the BET rope.

CDR-EVAOkay.

PLT Okay, when you're ready, then you move up to the


hinge line, Pete.

CDR-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Is that all the tension you got in that line?

SPT-EVA Well, the problem is that without a snubber I can't


get any more.

CDR-EVA Okay.

17 53 2B SPT-EVA If I get one more hook around the cleat, it's too
much tension. I can't do it.

CDR-EVA Okay, now. I wsmt to look at what else is -

SPT-EVA That's fine. I'm in the duty cutting position, and


I'm Just going to stay here, contemplating rivets,

CDR-EVA All right. The solar panel, as best as I can tell -


as best as I can tell, there's absolutely nothing
holding it but that strap, Joe.

SPT-EVA Well, I hope so.

CDR-EVA All right. Now let me move back. Let me make darn

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes, yes. He's all right. He's tethered to


the BET. It's a question of how far out I'm getting
from him - the bloody slack in it - or tension in it,
rather.

PLT Where - How far out is it?

SPT-EVA Oh, it came another l0 degrees.

is, I got to disconnect from this line.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA Now, what do we do about the BET? Are we supposed to


leave that on?

SPT-EVA Leave the BET. I can't think of anything else to do


with the BET. If we leave it attached at both ends,
it won't flop over and get in that structure. Okay?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Yes, I can see the panels from here. And they're
all accordioned part way out. Each Joint is about -

18 03 53 CDR-EVA All right. I'll tell you where we are. We got the
wing out and locked. The outboard panel and the
middle panel are about out the same emount, and the
third one is not quite. Now, Joe, I think before
you come in, you better take a look up there and
make sure that third one is clearing all the debris.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA That has been bugging me.

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA I can see that n_,self right here, if I can get there

were almost all the way out last time you looked
and the inboard one ...

CDR-EVA No, no, no, no, no, no. They are further out than
the inboard one, but -

SPT-EVA None of them are out very far. All of them are

of the BET - where it is and how tight have you got
it, et cetera.

SPT-EVA The BET is between the panel and - it's rigged,


Rusty. And it's as tight as I can get it, which
isn't terribly tight because of the characteristics

stay there as long as nothing hits it, I guess.

end. (Laughter )

CC Right.

PLT Okay, they' re off.

18 15 13 CDR-EVA ... m_y have a moment. I can't guarantee you that


that third panel does not have solar shield under-
neath it, because I don't know where the solar shield
went to. You were correct. It did have force in it
from the number 1 torsion rod, and it's possible that
it could have flapped out there and hung up the
inboard solar channel [sic].

CC Okay. Did Joe get a look down the sides Just before
you left the diseone antenna?

SPT-EVA Yes, I did, sir.

CC Could you see -

SPT-EVA I saw no hangup whatsoever. I s_ nothing above the


level of the meteoroid shield - -

coldest wing. Right? isn,t that the coldest one?

SPT-EVA I don 't know.

CDR-EVA I'm asking Houston.

CC They were all about the same temperature, Pete, but


that may be a slightly colder.

CC Okay, Pete, just out of curiosity, did you cut


through the strap or pry it or what did you do
with it?

CDR-EVA Cut through it. And I'll tell you what -

CC 0kay.

18 16 28 CDR-EVA Let me tell you what it was. It was where the


meteoroid shield had torn off of - both sides of
the angle, so that we had two angles and the
doubler with the bolts in it - with no flanges.
Okay?

CC 0k_y, understand you had both flanges of the


70/75 angle.

CDR-EVA No. Well, we had half of one flange, half of the


other flange, the doubler in the middle with the
bolts. And the bolts, in fact - the long end, in
fact, there was one little, lousy, single bolt in
the bitter end that had driven far enough three -
through to hold the strap. Everything else was
free.

CC Okay, we got 1 minute to LOS here at Texas and we'll


be picking up Vanguard at 28. That's about i0 minutes

CDR-EVA Yes. He's got plenty. He's in good shape.

CDR-EVA How's that?

SPT-EVA That 's fine. Now - -

CDR-EVA You're right ...

18 27 33 SPT-EVA - - the Bail - It's catty-wompus for one thing. As I


look down on it, it's rolled counterclockwise about
l0 degrees - not far, but some. Okay. The two poles
on this end are both fully deployed. The ropes between
the poles and the corners of the sail are taut. The
left corner of the sail - that is, the one toward the
SAS panel - is flat and looks very nice. The right
corner of the sail - there is a big bunch - there's
a big bunch about 3 feet forward of that corner, sa
if the material had wrinkled and stuck and never came
ccmplet ely apart.

CDR-EVA It's our local hot spot.

SPT-EVA Well, forward of that, I suspect. See, because I can


see the left front pole all the way out, but I can't
see the right front pole. The material pitches for-
ward there, and I suspect that that pole is either
shortened or bent or something. Okay?

CC Okay, Skylab; Houston here. We've got you for the


next 9 minutes and, at your convenience, we'd like a
GO on the maneuver.

18 28 44 SPT-EVA Roger. You can GO for the maneuver. And, Rusty,


did you copy my description of the sail?

now has 5900 pounds per square inch remaining. And
he used umbilical 013. Maybe I said that. The
SPT used PCU side number 010; SOP 016, and it has
6100 psi remaining in it; and he used umbilical 009.
And so much for that much of the EVA report.

22 26 40 PLT Friendly B channel, this is the PLT reporting a


change of stowage which I think has not been
reported. For the stowage people, the condensate
dump line is stowed on the condensate holding tank.

02 30 53 SPT B channel, SPT at 02:30 reporting on as screwed up an


ATM pass as I've had quite a while. We started from a
bazaar powerdown configuration, which I still haven't
figured out. After performing powerup for unattended
ops per the message and powerup from unattended ops
versus our much scratched-up cue card, I still had
about a dozen switches to attend to, including getting
the fine Sun sensor on and configuring at EY_ERIMENT
POINTING, et cetera, and so forth. At that point, the
82A and the 5_ had no ready lights. The door talkhacks
were white, and after a brief and unsatisfactory discus-
sion with Houston, I had to go into the door malfunc-
tion procedures and I wound up powering down and then
reenabling the door motors, which worked, and got the
experiments into a ready light configuration. So from
that point on, 54 operated normally. SO50 - or rather
S082A was called upon only for one frame, a time
exposure. The frame counter, which had mysteriously
been reset to 200 since the PLT tested it this after-
noon during EVA.

PLT No, no, no.

SPT Stand by 1. Delay that. It started at 201 and he


decremented it to 200. It is now down to 199 after
the time exposure. What bothers me is that the operate
light remained on at the end of that exposure. So we
may have had more than one problem with 82A and it
behooves you guys to keep close watch on it, please.
Also, please, people, n11mher l, tell us where you've
left the experiment. And number 2, I request and
reco_aend that new powerdown for unattended dark side
prep, Sun side prep, and powerdown operate next pass,
cue card formats be sent up to us by a teleprinter as
soon as possible. The ones we have are so written over
and have been through so many iterations as we pass from
mode to mode, that they're virtually useless and we -
we're doing it on - on a wing and a prayer.

02 33 23 SPT Okay. The result of all this - the - We staggered


through JOP 6, and I got one up - one building block i0,
. which I had to truncate the last three S05h exposures,
but we did get a little bit of data. The H-alpha 1
camera image looks terrible. It's blurred, out of
focus, appears to be considerably off-line center,
half way between an H-alpha and a white light picture.
This may be - I hope it is - a thermal problem. I
would like for you to advise on that. Good night.

SPT Okay, one more thing. I will give you the frames
remaining. H-alpha, 12007; X-RAY TELE 4183; XUV
SPECT, 199; XUV SLIT, 1010; WHITE LIGHT
CHRONOGRAPH, h974; and 371h for S05h. Good night.

02 35 h6SPT And, recorder; SPT again. One more thing on the ATM
pass. The S055 RASTER SCAN counter started counting
about lO times per sequence during a MIRROR AUTO RASTEr.
It's probably a minor problem, but why don't you look
at it?

here doing the CSM day 22 stowage. There's an item
in there that says remove the head rests, three of
them, from B-i and stow them in TSB. Be advised that
I installed them on the couches instead, assuming a
normal unsuited reentry. And in the event that we
have to go suited, we can pull them off and stuff
them - then, otherwise, the couches are configured.

age. I have removed from locker B-I the towel strap
holder; however, there are three hags of co--aqud mod-
ule towels: one for the co-,_nnder, one for the SPT,
and one for the PLT. Were they supposed to have been
taken out earlier and used, or should I leave them in -_

21 14 41 CDR Hi, there, friendly B channel. This is the CDR on


day 159. The time is 21:15, and I would like to give
you Mh87-3 Bravo, starting on page 3-6 of the Evalua-
tion Experiments Checklist. I would like to start out
by talking about the wardroom and using your guide-
lines. Overall I - I rate the wardroom very good.
The general arrangements, the orientation of the com-
partments are basically very good. What - Well, I'll
get to it. Basically, they are very good. The volume
of the compartment is adequate.

21 15 46 SPT Okay, back to M171 for a minute. The percent 02 post-

run is 72.13. It changes with time. The percent H20


is 5.64, dropping 5-57, 5.51, for instance. The per-
cent C02 is 1.97, 1.96, 1.97. That one's fairly stable.
Okay, it's yours, Pete.

21 16 18 CDR Okay, we're back with M487-3 Bravo. The volume of the
wardroom is adequate. Ceiling and floor proximity are
fine. There is no problem there. Ingress and egress
are all right, but it could be a little bit better.
The PLT's location in the corner - If everybody is
eating, he has to either go over the top of the table
or slide around the floor to get by the CDR or the
SPT. And the trash collection provisions leave some-
thing to be desired. Now let me say that where the
trash bag ... are located, one guys has to ... quite
a ways to get to the trash bags, and - namely, the
CDR. If you put the trash bag behind him where there
is a location, then the other two guys can't reach it
at all. So, we could do a little bit better on trash
collection. And the other thing is the wet trash,
where we can ... wet trash in the can - the can holder
area, that tends to get a little dirty in there, and
we have to keep after it - cleaning it. And I'll have
some more comments about that in a minute. The stowage
volume and access is all right, except the tray that
holds the pudding doesn't really hold the pudding ade-
quately. The ... trays for the SPT and the PLT are
too close together, and they hang up in one another
f_ all the time because the - the ... knobs that are
between the two sometimes stick out, either up or down,
between the trays, and hang in the lower or upper tray.
The food stowage is basically all pretty good, and it
could probably by spread out a little bit better with
respect to ...

21 18 32 SPT ...

CDR And it doesn't ... very well. Now the personnel


mobility aids we don't - excuse me, temporary equip-
ment restraints basically work well. We don't have
too much trouble anyway. Other than that, the per-
sonnel mobility aids are - those don't really apply
in the wardroom. You don't need any anywhere for that
matter. You can ... yourself anywhere you want in
the vehicle. The personnel restraint devices work
fairly well except for the - the foot straps which
are basically a good idea, but the material they're
made from makes them very difficult to operate. Ther-
mal comfort has been good. Noise level is extremely
low, and the illumination is good. And, of course,
we enjoy very much the wardroom window ... us a good
view of the Earth axLdthe stars at night. And it's
very pleasant.

21 19 35 CDR One of the problems in the wardroom is keeping it


clean. We have the grid floor. We have the grid
above, and we have many little perturbances that -
lockers that have little old locker doors on top of
them with the wet wipes and so forth. And there are
certain foods that are very difficult to handle, and
you Just can't help but have a little bit of water -
a little bit of food - liquid food get away from you.
And these settle on these various places of the grid,
and so forth. And it's very, very difficult to clean
the wardroom. So, in fUture design, I would suggest
that we go to some arrangement - wall, ceiling, and
cabinet structure - that is basically easier to clean,
at the same time bearing in mind the location of the
various cabinets and their functions with respect to
the people that are using that room.

21 20 31 CDR So much for the wardroom. The waste management com-


partment I think basically is, again, very good. The
general arrangement and orientation of the compartment
are fairly good. The location of the compartment next
to the sleep compartment is not good because the blower
runs. You can hear in the sleep compartments and so
forth. So, it is Just the location. The voltm_e is
fine. (Yawn) ... really doesn't bother us any.
Ingress/egress is okay. The trash collection is all
right, but yet the - A little improvement in trash
collection - I would think that especially the wet
Final
D_np Tape 159-12
Time: 21:ih:41 to 22:38:15
Page 3 of 13

trash, the urine towel and things like this, and the
collection of the urine bags and so forth, that rather
than hanging that thing on the wall, we really need
as internal thing to hang that trash bag. And it
would keep it out of the way of the door; it's located
right next to the door where you come in ... located
it right in front next to the wash basin. There it
is sort of in your way, but it's not that bad. The
stowage volume and access in there is very reasonable.
The temporary equipment restraints, the handholds,
and so forth are good.

21 21 52 CDR The foot restraints, again, are excellently placed,


but the material that they are made out of is very
poor and makes it difficult to use. No requirement,
no personnel mobility aids in there, no personnel
restraint devices - Excuse me, I got personnel re-
straint devices mixed up with temporary equipment
restraints. Just the equipment restraints. Okay.
And the comment I made about the temporary equipment
restraints applies to personnel restraint devices -
the foot holders; so don't confuse the two. Thermal
comfort has been good there. Noise level is low, and
the illumination is excellent. Sleep compartment: I
find my sleep compartment quite adequate. You don't
need a large room. I have plenty of stowage space.
Don't mind my head hanging on the wall. Trash col-
lection is fine. Stowage is fine. Access is fine.
Temporary equipment restraints are adequate. Person-
nel mobility aids are ... Personnel restraint devices
are adequate but ... improvements made on it, but the
basic idea is very good. You can sleep on your side,
on your back, on your stomach. It works very well,
and we can sleep quite well up here. Thermal comfort
has been good. Noise level is low, except for things
(yawn) you don't notice, like the wsste management
compartment when somebody goes in at night. The illu-
mination is all right. I think perhaps I would like
a small ...-type lamp though to be located over my
bed rather than this harsh fluorescent light .... get
ell the light or no light.

21 23 31 CDR Experiment compartment ... arrangement, and of the


experiment compartment is fine. We're a litSle crowded
over in the area where the shower is, because the shower
is an afterthought with us. If the shower wasn't there,
I think it - everything would he Just fine. One other

Dtm_ Tape 159-12

point, the volume of the compartment is more than ade-


quate. The ceiling has got - I'd say about ... We
find - Like exercising with the bicycle ergometer in
the ... mode, we have no place to put our feet up on.
The ceiling has quite a bit of - wire, rugs, fire
sensors, lights, and shower stuff's all in the way
there on the ceiling. Ingress and egress in the ex-
periments compartment is no sweat. Trash collection
is really not too applicable. We don't really gen-
erate or produce a lot of trash there and so that
doesn't really apply. Stowage volume and access is
very reasonable. Temporary equipment restraints are
adequate. Personnel mobility aids, again, don't apply.
Personnel restraint devices - we've found that we can
ride the bicycle with no restraint at all .... very
well. The thermal comfort has been good. The noise
level is low. And, again, the illumination, where we
can use all lights, is excellent.

21 24 51 CDR Forward experiments and dome compartment: the general


arrangement and orientation of the compartment are
fine .... made out of a tank, I'm sure ... better -
the - we certainly can use the ... to do an M509 in.
We don't need the ... airlock experiment and things
llke that, but it is a - a great place to - to move
around in. And the stowage is excellent around the ...
and it works very well. The personnel mobility aids
we've found we don't need in here. We can fly every-
where we need to in there. The personnel restraint
devices are good, especially the ... to work out on
the floor. Now the grid floor has worked very well,
but the grid floor is not quite as open as ... put in
the ... the rest of the things and - ... on that grid
floor, there's not always a whole lot of place to put
your feet. So ... that in future designs. Thermal
comfort, noise level, ill%_nination are all excellent
in there. And I really don't have too much more to
say about that now.

21 25 52 CDR The airlock - the airlock is used for absolutely


nothing but transportation. And it's right between
the lower part of the spacecraft and the upper part
r of the MDA. And, therefore,I don't really need to
coment on anything except - other than that. Now
for ... It turned out that we've done one EVA out
of there. The lock compartment is more than adequate -
adequately illuminated. Of course, we were suited,
Final
Dump Tape 159-12
Time: 21:14:41 to 22:38:15
Page 5 of 13

and you really don't worry about the thermal comfort


and the noise level which, of course, is quite low in
there. The personnel restraint devices, we found,
were not necessary in there to do the E_A. The hatch
opened very easily. There was no problem opening it.
No problem closing it, and what temporary equipment
restraints are in there are excellently designed be-
cause we spent a lot of time on them, and ... the EVA
gear, and they work well. Stowage volume and access
doesn't really apply. And ingress/egress previsions
are excellent, as I have stated. The hatch is very
easy to close - the internal hatches; and the external
hatches. Ceiling and floor proximity doesn't apply.
It's really a cylinder. And the volume in the com-
partment is adequate, and the general arrangement is
adequate.

21 27 08 CDR Okay. Let's ... the MDA and the STS. The general
arrangement and orientation of the compartment, I
think, could be a little bit better. Again, it's
oriented around the cylinder, probably not the greatest
orientation in the whole world, but it really hasn't
led us into too many serious problems, ... fine ....
the eempartment is certainly adequate. Ceiling/floor
prox_mlty: it doesn't really apply in there. Ingress/
egress is fine, both to below through the airlock and
through the tunnel to the eon_nand module. No problem
there. You don't generate a lot of trash up there.
We have a few trash bags, but we find that we really
don't ... up there .... is not necessary. We don't
have any personnel restraint devices. The ATM gear
works well. I think the ... could be designed a little
bit better ... other h87-3 Alpha, I believe I com-
mented on the basic ...

21 28 05 CDR Thermal comfort: it gets quite cold up there, but


that's more our problem from having lost our shield
and not having a lot of electricity in the whole
world. So, I think that, in view of that, it's been
quite good. It's been about 60 degrees, and I think
now that we have had the wing out, it gradually (yawn) -
the temperature up there will be allowed to pick up.
The noise level is fine. The mol sieves ... every
15 minutes, but it's quiet and doesn't bother you too
much, and the illtnnination is adequate.

21 28 48 CDR And that is the end of the CDR's Mh87-3 Bravo.

21 33 41 SPT Friendly tape recorder, this is the SPT at 21:33 with


a M487-3 Bravo, starting with evaluations of the var-
ious compartments. The wardroom: General arrangement
is pretty good. I have s_ne nit picks, being the SPT,
that I do not have a handy place to put food trash -
with a ... of m_ side of the vehicle - of the room.
What we're doing is hanging a disposal bag on the snaps
between _f seat and the door, which serves - and also
serves for the food and the shower bags and whatever
else is around. There is - there do tend to be same
bottlenecks in the food area in both obtaining one's
food and disposing of cans. However, I think it was
a good Job for the amount of room involved.

21 3_ 39 SPT The wardroom window is outstanding. Its size is very


good. Certainly let's not make them any smaller. Its
field of view is also excellent. I tmderstand that's
partly coincidence, on account of the meteoroid shield
being missing. I think it would have been a shame if
we'd had the smaller field of view. And the other
thing about the wardroom, of course, is that, since
we eat there, we spatter a great deal. And either
the food is going to have to be better engineered to
make it more spatter-proof andor the room in which
the eating occurs is going to have to be made rela-
tively spatter-tight and easily cleanable. All right.
Continuing that, the vol_e, as I said, is marginal.
The ceiling/floor proximity is good. Ingress/egress
provisions are good. We need the large opening. We
rarely to never use the curtain across it. Trash
collection I've already covered. Stowage volume is
okay. Access - it's fine except for mealtime. Tem-
porary equipment restraints - we're using a lot of
bungees spread on the little holes between the locker
doors. This is okay; however, the bungees tend to
slip off 8nd - s_nething similar but with a little
better restraint and the elasticity incorporated would
be good.

21 36 Ii SPT I don't understand what personnel mobility aids are.


Personnel restraint devices - since I don't wear
triangle shoes with triangles on them, I can't use
.... the little triangles at the base. And I prefer to
have s_ething I can use the mushrooms with. The
thigh restraints are okay. I have a feeling that
samething better will - will ultimately be developed,
but they are convenient to get in and out of. Thermal
comfort and noise level are excellent. Illumination
is low as it is pretty much throughout the ship.

21 36 49 SPT Waste management compartment turns out to be a pretty


good size and pretty well-arranged. The ceiling/floor
proximity is okay as is the wall-to-wall proximity for
doing such tasks as the shaking up the - the urine and
also for defecation. Ingress/egress is fine. Trash
collection is fine. Stowage volume is fine. Temporary
equipment restraints - I would like to see more equip-
ment restraints, occasionally - particularly when -
setting up and tearing down from the medical
experiments, we find that we have more things in our
hands than we know what to do with - and - get - a bit
of a bottleneck there at the door with one guy stand-
ing there putting on and taking off electrodes with
the electrodes kit in place, with the trash bag in
:__ place, covering people's hygiene kits. That's the
area that's too crowded. The deeper you go into the
compartment, the better things get. Personnel mobility
aids, not really required. Restraint devices: The
straps on the floor we've debriefed before are in a
good location but are not well-designed and tend to
interfere with the urine drawers. Thermal comfort's
fine. Noise level's fine. Illumination is probably
adequate in this compartment.

21 38 lh SPT The sleep compartment - arrangement and orientation


are - are okay. The volume of the compartment is
okay, exeep that a little more temporary stowage is
required. I'll get to that. Ceiling/floor proximity
is okay. Don't make it any smaller. When I have M133
on, mM head tends to b_np and scrape the ceiling with
that cap on when I'm in bed. Ingress/egress is okay.
It's a little bit cramped, however, for rapid egress,
in ease we really needed to. Trash collection is fine.
Stowage volume is - not enough, in that most of the
lockers are taken up with permanent stowage of one
kind or another. And you really don't have any place
to empty your pockets. I have rigged two trash bags -
taped them to the wall and ceiling near the bed, and
I use those for - as dresser drawers. Temporary
equipment restraints are okay. Personnel mobility,

light get - get - get to you. If you ever want people


on other than a simultaneous sleep cycle, you must
provide them with a sound-proof sleeping acccmmodation,
which is the exact opposite of what we have right now.
Illumination in the sleep compartment is okay.

21 39 _3 SPT Experiment compartment general arrangement and orien-


tation is okay, except that the - at the two corners
where things get awfully crowded between the shower,
the centrifuge, the tool kits, and our t_nporary
stowage for the vacuum cleaner. It's very crowded
in that corner. In the other corner, it's not quite
so bad, but MI31 pretty well sweeps that area clear
and makes it useless for stowage of other gear. Aside
from that, we did well. Ceilingfloor is okay.
Ingress/egress is not applicable. Trash collection:
-_ We don't collect trash in that compartment. Stowage
voltnne is all right. Temporary equipment restraints :
I have trouble finding places to put the checklist
still. What we need is a mini camera mount that
doesn't stick down in the compartment so far and which
could be planed in more different places. Personnel
mobility aids, not required. Restraint devices, not
required; the triangle does the trick. Thermal com-
fort, okay. Noise level, okay. Illumination on the
low side.

21 hO 49 SPT Forward d_ne panel arrangement and orientation is okay.


This - this figuring is one where you can put more
things around the wall with a - a little triangle here
and there, a few handholds be - beside them and you
don't have to worry about the up/down arrangements.
We ms_, actually have under-utilized the walls of that
compartment a little bit. This is for future refer-
enee. The volt,he is fine, and we need a compartment
this big to give you room to play around and move in.
Ceiling/floor proximity is okay. Ingress/egress is
okay. Trash collection: We don't collect trash
upstairs. Stowage volume is fine, and access to the
dome lockers is fine. Temporary equipment restraints
don't seem to be needed, except in the suit donning
areas where we could use same more. Personnel mobility
_f aids, not required. Restraint devices, adequate.
Thermal, noise, and illnm_uation: The first two okay;
the illumination is a little low.

21 41 54 SPT The airlock is a - a fine tunnel. And for a tunnel


and - and an airlock, it's size and dimensions are
pretty good because when you're EVA with the hatch
open you always have s_nething to bear against,
and I wouldn't want it a whole lot bigger - a
little longer maybe, because we always have trouble
getting things in. Okay, ceiling/floor proximity
is good. Ingress/egress is good. We don't collect
trash in there. Stowage voltnne: We should have a
little more, a little better thought-out stowage
for EVA. Equipment: The zipper pockets aren't
very useful because you can't get anything in them
and then close the zipper, and zippers aren't easy
to handle in a pressurized glove. Keep in mind
that Velero is - would be great if we had the right
kind. Snaps are also no good in the pressurized
glove. Much of the Velcro on board the ship is no
good because it doesn't hold well enough. Okay,
personnel mobility aids are not required. Restraint
devices, not really required. We ts/_ked at one
time about having shoes in the airlock, and shoes
are a great thing in a pressurized suit. We Just
don't happen to need them in a compartment this
size. Comfort, noise level, and illumination
are not applicable.

21 h3 ll SPT In the MDA/STS, general arrangement is reasonably


good except for a couple of things. The M200
circuit breaker panels have always been a pain
in the neck and, in zero-g, they continue to be a
pain in the neck, orienated at right angles to
everything else and on down. The bottleneck of the
MDA is the STS, where the control and display panels
are. It's not compatible to have a guy working there
and a guy working at the ATM. And the guy at the STS
blocks the hatch. Ceiling/floor proximity is all
right. Ingress/egress is all right. Trash collec-
tion: Don't seem to need one in the _DA, and we
don't have any - that I can think of. Stowage
volume and access, okay. Equipment restraints,
okay. Mobility aids, not required. Restraint
f devices: The two triangle sections are - are good.
Illumination is low in the MDA and a little bit
confusing in a circular compartment. Noise level
and thermal comfort are - Well, noise level is
okay. It's cold in there, and it has been for days.

21 44 32 SPT And I guess that's it for Bravo. Good-bye.

22 O0 23 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 22:00 for


the medical people. I'm activating the slide
stainer for fun and profit. And on opening the
waste bag storage container, a threaded bolt, with
a ball bearing at one end and a little screw slot
at the other end came floating out, evidently
having backed off from some place in there. And
it would be fun to know where it came from, so I
could try to put it back. End of message.

22 29 53 CDR Hello, there, friendly B channel. It's the old


CDR with the message 1516, the general evening
questions 15/Day 159. Question number 1. Request
you voice-record EVA debrief on following items.
Alpha: true and _nbilical motions when strap cut
through and when SAS pulled out with ... Let's go
to when the strap was cut. At the time the SPT
went to cut the strap, the CDR was positioned
holding onto the pole with one hand and tethering
with the BET, with the right arm positioned behind
hinge, facing minus-X, looking at the cutter. The
SPT pulled several times as hard as he could on the
cut strap, and the CDR could notice that the Jaws
weren't back as close as they were going to close.
But nothing happened. So the CDR suspected that
the Jaws had spread and that we had closed it as
far as we could, but the strap had spread the Jaws
and the strap was, in fact, not cut. So I said to
the SPT, "Is that as hard as you can pull?" And
he said, "Yes, that is it." Whenceupon, he
continued to pull mightily unbeknownst to the CDR,
who decide that he would go out the pole and
investigate what was happening. And upon approaching
about 4 feet from the end of the pole, low and
behold, the strap cut, and the SAS beam moved about
2 feet in an instantly swift sort of action. In the
meantime, because the CDR was now hanging onto a
loose pole - in fact, that had drifted - he also
floated upward with the wing and got ahold of the
..., which was rapidly getting slack. Then figuring
that the taut end was behind him, he stsmted moving
hand over hand as fast as possible, keeping tensions
to the plus-X direction of the BET, down the BET, as
he floated upward, and he arrived in a great heap at
the end on top of the SPT. Right, SPT?

22 32 h7 SPT There wasn't much ...

CDR Well, you were having your problems holding onto the
pole, right? And getting yourself - -

SPT Yes - -

CDR - - all suckered back down.

SPT Right.

22 32 56 CDR Okay, the SPT will debrief on that. Anyhow, when I


got back in the v_cinity of the A-frame and the
discone antenna, I got this situation under control.
And I will let the SPT brief you on - on his happening
while cutting the strap. Okay, let's go to when the
SAS pulled out with the BET. The BET was tight then -
as tight as we could get it around the cleat, which -
we got it as tight as we could on the cleat. And then
I went to the vicinity of the end of the SAS column,
plus-X direction, of course, on the frame of the SAS,
and endeavored to pick up the BET and smartly put it
over my shoulder while facing minus-X. Unfortunately,
this didn't turn out to be as easy to do, and when Y
finally got m5, legs under - and I - I was a little
leery about this facing minus-X because that would
have put my embilical under the BET, and - and - and
I felt that when it let go, if my feet went out to
the left, I was liable to do loop and wind up with
my umbilical around the BET, which was a circumstance
I didn't want to get into. So, I was trying to do
this, looking right, facing the dark, and picking up
the BET. Well, I got it up one time, and I pushed as
hard as I could with not too much results. Whereupon
my feet slipped out from under me, and the SPT and I
decided to have me come back towards the lip of the
FAS, plus-X, and - and go - and - and - I - and both
of us to get back by the FAS lip, whereupon we would
put our feet on the FAS lip and pull in the plus-X
dlrectlon.

22 35 29 CDR Well, we gave a couple of mighty heaves that way,


with not too much results. We could see the SAS
wiggle - I mean the SAS beam wing wiggle a few times,
but with not too much success. So, the SPT said,
"I will stay anchored here with _ feet against the
Final
Dump Tape 159-12
Time: 21:14:_i to 22:38:15
Page 12 of 13

FAS, pulling in the plus-X direction and you get


back out and lift the BET." Whereupon I got out
and I lifted the BET with a mighty heave and I got
it on m_ right shoulder, which left me not looking
at the SAS wing. And I gave a mighty heave and the
SPTgave a mighty heave, whereupon everything went
black and I shot straight up into the air. And as
I revolved to mM right, I could see the SAS wing
coming but a good, smart clip. And by the time I
got _self all under control from the whifferdill by
pulling against - towards the plus-X direction on
the BET, which I was tethered to - and came back
towards the FAS area - By the time I settled down
from my whifferdill back there in the - in the FAS
area, the wing had come all the way up and was fully
deployed.
/

22 36 h4 CDR At that point in time, we again took the remaining


slack out of the BET and left it tied, with a slight
amount of tension, to the A-frame - which we have
photographs of that from the inside and continuing
back to the A-frame. And it goes from the A-frame,
over to the FAS lip, out to the upper transport that
it is attached to. And so much for that.

22 37 i0 CDR Question n_maber B - I-B. Request you voice-record


EVA debrief on following it_ - B being visual
observations on quad A. I can see two quads, quad A
and quad B from the FAS work station, and I could
determine absolutely no difference, whatsoever, in
either quad A or quad B. It looked, around the
black packaging that the thrusters actually come
out of, that the paint was beginning to blister off
both packages only being able to see the forward
end - the - the - the minus-X-firing thrusters.
They - both of them look exactly the same. The color

we don't want to do that because there is a chance
that we might hang up the camera - that you'd have

read backwards.

CC Roger, CDR.

_-_ 12 32 59 CDR Okay, step 32 complete.

CC Roger; concur. We watched it, also.

12 33 19 CC CDR, Houston. We see you're about i0 minutes from


the end of the BMAG 2 drift check. A couple of other
little notes, now that you're through some of this
busy part here for this pass. We've got an entry
SIM and checklist changes for entry to be - that'll
be up-linked for you today. Also, this evening we're
going to up-link a full set of maneuver pads for the
entry SIM tomorrow. In fact, a slightly different
subject with reguards to the TV tour today. It turns
out we looked at the schedule, and if we did TV-21
as scheduled in the Flight Plan today, that would
prevent you from doing the TV tour. However, if you're
amenable to getting the tour out of the way, we think
that's more important, and we'd like to do that today.
So, we'd suggest scratching TV-21 from your Flight
Plan today. That'll give you plenty of tape on the
VTR, and you can do the tour at your convenience this
evening.

12 34 20 CDR Okay. I have an hour - more than an hour on the


BMAGs, and I'll give you the check in Just a second.

CC Roger.

CC Stand - Stand by on that, please, Pete. Just a second.

13 17 31 CC Skylab - CDR, Houston. We got to do some up-links,


and also get an EMOD. If you'll give us ACCEPT as
soon as the 52 is over, we can get started on that
and then we can power down the G&N after that.

13 17 44 CDR Got ACCEPT and PO0.

CC Roger. Thank you.

CC And, CDR; do you have any information on us on the


drift check?

CDR Oh, let me give you both of them.

it here?

CC Stand by.

13 19 55 CC Skylab, Houston. The load is in; you can go back to


BLOCK. And, we are standing by for the EMOD. We
got h minutes left in this pass.

CDR It's coming at you right now.

CC Okay.

PLT Hey, Dick, when you get a minute or two, the PLT's
got a couple of items for you.

CC Very good, PLT. Because I have an item for you, and


I was trying to figure out where you were. Go ahead.

13 20 27 PLT First item is, is there any way we can tell if our
_--_ wardroom heater is still functioning? Has that gone
up good - you can tell if we turn it off and on.
Because our water has frozen again, and where the
window protector was formerly warm to the touch
when busily washing the windows, it no longer is.

CC Roger. We copy.

12 30 50 PLT Second item - and the second item is, Just so I don't
forget, how about on the day before the EVA, Just
schedule me to put the S190 desiccant in the oven,
please. And, then on either day 27 or 28, another
reminder to put the new ones in the camera.

CC Roger. We'll sure put that on your Flight Plan,


Paul, and if that's all you got, I got one item on
the ATM I'd like to mention to you.

PLT Okay.

13 21 20 CC Okay, tasking about S082A. I guess we've had occa-


sions where the OPERATE light has remained on after
MODE TERMINATION. And, in this next daylight cycle,
after you get through with the - the completion of
the time mode in building block 3, there's an oppor-
tunity where this might happen. And if it does, if
the OPERATE light does stay on there, we'd like you
Final
TAG Tape 166-05
Time: 12:13:46 to 13:57:31
Page h of 7

to do a real quick little test for us; and that is


throw the 82A FLARE switch to INHIBIT, and then note
the status of both the READY light and the OPERATE
light. And, Just tell us what the status of those
' two lights are next time we have AOS, and that will
help us try to psych out exactly what the problem is.
i

13 22 03 PLT Okay, we'll try it. Now Joe Just came down and -
He was running in the time mode. It's been operating
almost continuously, once you start it - when the
door first opens it comes up READY. Once you start
a mode, most of which is in time, it usually stays
OPERATE. Now Joe Just finished that building block
that he had, and it came up READY at the end of each
sequence this time. But I'll check it next time.

CC Okay, good. Thank you.

13 22 59 CC CDR, Houston. We've got the _MOD, and we're GO to


go ahead and power it down.

CC We're about - -

CDR Okay. Roger.

CC - - We're about a minute from LOS. We'll see you


at G1_a_ at 13:31.

CDR Hello, Houston; CDR.

CDR Hi, Houston; CDR.

CC CDR, Houston. Go ahead; we've got you for 5 minutes.

13 32 08 CDR Okay. I wasn't sure whether you wanted me to power


down the computer or not. I powered down the I_.
Am I cleared to power down the computer and the
STS and go back to sleep?

CC Stand by Just 1 on that, please.

13 32 23 CC CDR, Houston; affirmative. You're clear to power

13 37 03 CC CDR, Houston. In answer to your question, we're not


concerned about the heater operation during the check;
however, we do want to m_e sure - I think the last
: step, which I think is a pen and ink in your checklist
for that CM-7, is to make sure the circuit breaker on
that heater is put to OPEN; but no problem during the
check.

CDR That secondary heater has a fuse back in the service


module; it doesn't have any circuit breaker.

CDR We talking about the same heater?


I

CC Maybe not; I'll get the answerJ We're going LOS, CDI_.
We're going to see you at Goldstone at 13:55. Be ad-
vised, our initial look at the comm_d module is look-
ing _real good. The team is going to go off and get
together and look at some of the backrocm data. And,
later on this afternoon, we'll give you a good briefing
as far as the systems status that we saw on the ground
heretoday.

CDR Okay, where's your meeting?

CC Clancy's office. Can you make it?

CDR No, I thought it might be some place else. Bye.

CC (Laughter)

13 38 h9 CDR Got you.

13 54 h0 CC Skylab, Houston. We're A0S stateside for the next


15 minutes.

13 54 45 PLT Okay, Richard. 82A Just climbed out of a time mode


in its JOP. The OPERATE light stayed ON. I turned the
flare to INHIBIT, and blink, on came the I___DY light
and out went the OPERATE light.

CC Thank you very much, Paul.

13 55 03 PLT I'm back to FLARE ENABLE now. And the READY light
,, _ stayed ON. Next time I run it, I'm going to try -
Final

turn the FLARE switch to INHIBIT while I'm x,mn_ng,


and see if it goes from OPERATE to READY like it's
supposed to. Is that all right?

CC Roger. That 's affirmative.

PLT Thankyou.

13 56 0h CC And, Skylab, Houston. Back to the question that we


were talking about, about the heater up in the co_d
module. It turns out that the fuse that you referred
to is in the heater portion of the circuit. And it is
iu the service module. The problem, we think, is in
the control loop probably, or possibly a shorted switch.
And the circuit breaker that I was referring to is on
panel 5- It's ECS, SECONDARY COOLANT LOOP heater con-
trol MAIN A circuit breaker, and it is listed in your
Systems Checklist. And, you'll get to that on the
housekeeping check tonight and the last step - or one
of the steps in there is to - when you leave the colmand
module it'll be OPEN.

CDR Right ... I'll remember that. Okay. Fine. Th_ you.

CC Roger.

CC And, _%_ylab, Houston. For your information, this


stateside pass, you're passing over the west coast
up around Salem, Oregon. You're going to pass over
Just to the south of the Great Salt Lake. You're
going to go over a portion of th e Grand Canyon, and
going to hit the Gulf of Mexico coming away from the
United States between Houston and Victoria.
