ii 49 00 CDR Hello, tape recorder. Concerning the CO 2 dewpoint

monitor operation this morning, as I have a feeling
there is something wrong with our detecting equip-
ment. First the Allen wrench part of the one batch
of screws stripped out on first application. We
had to get a hammer and a screwdriver and make our
own prod to open it with a screwdriver. Then when
I opened it, around the port A hold was a consider-
able quantity of film of dried, white power-like
substance, almost as though something inside the
portfor A had broken and float - flowed out around
it and subsequently dried. Then I went ... performed
a protocol and each of the four locations - the
three sleep compartments and at the MOLSIEVE inlet
- the MOLSIEVE A, the readings were all the same.
CO 2 - also temperatures and these readings were:
C02, 12 part - Correction, C02, 12 millimeters of

mercury; temperature, 85; dewpoint, 45. The MOLSIEVE
readings are : MOLSIEVE A inlet, 3.5 ; temperature
in, 62; dewpoint, 48. End of message.
12 03 16 PLT Tape recorder, PRD readings this morning. The PRD

reading in the PLT sleep compartment reads 06040.
PLT The PRO reading in the experiment department is 44025.
12 04 24 PLT The PRD reading in the forward area is 18038.

12 47 50 SPT Good morning, B. channel. This is the SPT answering

his day 115 (sic) evening questions. Question n_n-
bet 4 on water purification, the PLT did that. He
states that the color development was rapid. Ques-
tion number 5: during the flare drill, S082A, was
operated in the flare mode for approximately 4 minutes.
N,_ber 6: on the S055 high voltage - Let me answer
kind of 6, 7, and 8 by giving a little chronology
of it. We were doing zero line scans w_th all re-
Jectors rating zero, and the detectors would all come
on the line normally. The interval between turning
the detectors on was about I second. The order was:
i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6, 5 - i, 2, 3. 7, 6, 5. Sorry.
As usual the PLT indications were normal. There was
no immediate trip-out %mtil the mode was started, at
which time I would look back to check on it a minute
or so later, and it would have tripped out - with a
SCAN SPEC light and no READY, and no OPERATE; and
three times I reinitiated by shutting all the de-
tectors off, and all the detectors on again; and the
same thing would happen. The fourth time, I left
detectors 5 and 6 off and turned the others on, and
the mode continued normally. During no other mode
12 49 3h except during light scan has the ejector ever tripped
off.

14 19 13 CDR Hello. Friendly B Channel. Message 0719 Delta. The

8/Iswer to question i: following ... S082 mode, does
the OPERATING light stay 0N? We haven't tried AUTO
1 yet, but it stays on TIME and AUTO 2. Question 2:
When the SO82A door opens the next time, is the READY
light or OPen,ATE light on? The answer is: The READY
light is ON when we start the experiment the first
time; the 0P_ATE light comes on, then stays on for-
ever until you cycle the doors. Question number 3
we'll have the answer for you a little later today,
but as I remember you asked yesterday, "Have you
noticed any drift around H-alpha pointing around 1
minute before sunset?" And the answer to that is I've
noticed some drift, but I don't think it's as far back
as i minute. We'll check that. That's it for now.
14 35 _9 CDR Hello, Friendly B Channel. This is the CDR with

another comment for the follow-on crew. We have had a
fair amount of trouble with the 16 millimeter h00 foot
magazine combination running all the time. But the
first thing is all the noises that you're used to
hearing on the ground - the clicklty clack, clack,
clatter, click clack - it does not do that at all up
here in zero G. It's a whole new set of sounds that
you have to see. And also you don't get the Jerking
dragged out for sc_e reason that you see on the take-
up spool as it's first treading. And a - Practically
the only way you can check it is - if you really got a
good tread is to do all the things, and then take
your pen and mark - take the magazine off, mark the
frame, put it back on the camera, and run it again to
see if it's gone through. But it's an entirely dif-
ferent set of sounds up here. So all your good train-
ing down on the ground _Innlng that thing, you can
neglect them.

15 50 05 PLT Tape recorder this is M133 on the SPT.
SPY l!
PLT Oh? Oh, Ml31. M131 for the SPT. The time is
15:50 GMT. Ha. Ha.
SPT End of message.
16 30 31 SPT Friendly channel B, this is the SPT with the M131-2

debriefing question. It's more difficult to stand by
one's might.
SPT Okay. We will note, first of all, that the point

planning time allotted for the -2 run was sufficient.
That is 45 minutes per subject. Now back to the ques-
tion. It is more difficult relative to ground base
trials. The internal frames of the reference appear
to be as easy as they ever were. However, the external
frame of reference fittings represent pretty much
-- pure guess work. It's a pure visual turnaround. You
look at the workshop, you intellectually figure out
what angle you're at to it. You know, l'm pitched
about 20 degrees, and I'm rolled about 15 degrees.
And then you set - you close your eyes, and you set
the pointer to the internal frame of reference to the
... by those stored-in-memory amounts of degrees. So
you're not really using the vestibular apparatus to
m-ke this external frame reference Judgment at all.
And since it's difficult for the visual system, I
think, to Judge small angles like that very accurately
and then to set them in, the errors are probably go-
ing to be large, but they ought to be more or less
random. At least over a period of time.
SPT Now any conflicts between sensory cues for making

Judgments in perspective to the external frame of
reference_ No, I simply noticed the absence of the
overriding gravity clue or cue, which makes it so
easy in one g to detect how far you're pointed off
the vertical, In answering question i, I said that
we estimated visually the number of degrees off the
vertical and the horizontal that you were, and that's
true, but it's much more difficult to deal with zero g
than it is one g because you don't have that gravity
clue. Did I - in answer to number 3 - no, never a
vestibular sense to the upright. The brain, l'm

convinced, gives you it's own frame of reference all

the time, but in zero g this frame of reference is up
there on left to right reference frame; changes any
time you want it to change. And it does not occur
to be influenced by the vestibular system. Answer
to number 4 is no.
16 33 3h SPT Number 5 is a very good question, because in the

0GI mode yesterday, both the PLT and myself noticed
that the very low settings for line target appeared
to move slowly back and forth with a period of 1 to 2
seconds. I noticed to_ that the same thing occurred,
and obviously it's a - not related to rotation. It's
a drift that we have where headed steady here at
zero g - It's a left-right, left-right, 1 to 2 second,
small amplitude, but noticeable calculation. And
number 6, no additional comment. Oh, yes, I do have
one. In the litter mode, since one is strapped to
the litter only by a very inadequate Velcro strap
around the chest; you tend to flack, to Jackknife,
and it's very difficult to keep straight and to
keep down on the - on the chair. When you get a ...
in your litter mode data, would you mind - keep in
mind that the internal frame of reference might not
be parallel to the litter, but at some angle to it.

17 20 44 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is the PLT - these are

PLT's co_ents after his M-1S1-2 run. Question l,
degree of difficulty: it was much more difficult due
to the lack of a gravity back there. It was quite
difficult, as a matter of fact. That angle, I think,
is quite small for making - to be able to ... Number
2, conflicts between sensory cues: they were hardly
worrying me; so there were no conflicts. A positive
sense of the upright at any time: no, not really.
I'm not sure now I understand what you mean by the
question. Okay, ass_1_ that a foot [?] and three
means a positive sense such as the gravity vector,
the answer is negative. Jud_-,ents influenced by
auditory cues or other enviror.mental factors : nega-
tive. Did the line target appear stable: pretty
much. It did have that same sort of lateral oscilla-
tion that Dr. Kerwin, the SPT, noted after his run,
previous. He described it Just as I vould. As he
mentioned, it showed up first in the rotating mode,
yesterday. And I have no additional comments or
observations. Bye.
17 50 33 CDR Hello there, friendly channel B. Just a little bit

18 33 2h SPT Contamination observation on window - STS window h.

The window itself is clean. However, it has several
linty particles on the outside. These come fromthe
fact that on all STS windows, which I neglectedto
mention before, this is one of the most noticeable
looking into the Sun, is that as you open and close
the window cover, it rubs over that silver foil in-
sulation and frays it. And the backing material ap-
pears to be some kind of cloth, and that causes linting.
19 13 lh PLT Hello, B channel. This is the PLT with the Mh87-3

Alfa. Going to page 3-3 on restraints and mobility
aids. The fireman's pole we have not used yet because
we have not needed it. The 0WS dome and wall handrails
have, on occasion, been of some use primarily for
stability. They are not used for transiting the dome
or forward areas. We do that by point-to-point
translations free floating. Same thing with the STS
handrails and the MDA. We've generally found that
f you just move about this vehicle by, as I say, Just
pushing off and translating from point to point. You
use these handrails, but you use whatever is available;
a surface - The mol sieve surface, the back of the
ATM chair; whatever you need Just to give yourself a
little tweaks to keep yourself trimmed up. The hand-
rails are not needed for translation. Handholds and
handrails are needed for stability. And on occasion,
for example, yesterday when I vacuum cleaned the
plenum inlet screen at the top of the dome L I found
the duets themselves very handy for footholds. I'd
wrap my legs around them and use that to stablize my-
self while I was vacu_m_ng the screen. The triangular
shoes in the grid have come in very handy. The mode
we've gotten into usually, most of the time, is you
only hook in one shoe. Consequently, we've been try-
ing off and on, we'll con_ment on it later, on two
triangles as opposed to one triangle and one mushroom.
19 15 03 PLT The water tank foot platform has been used on occasion
when working in a dome locker. I think it's been
necessary and useful. Again, the usual use for myself
has been to hook one foot in one of the tria_ular
cutouts.
_ 19 15 21 PLT The ATM foot p!atform has been used so far only to
hold the captain's chair. We have been using the
captain's chair A1-_st exclusively at the ATM.

The portable foot restraint _llatform i_ the MDA: the

CDR used it yesterday for an EREP run, and it appear-
ed to work quite well. He said he was quite happy
with it. The portable PGA foot restraints we have not
_ed. Portable handholds: the only place we've really
used them is in the vicinity Of the bicycle ergometer,
and we - were attempting to figure out how in heaven's
name we can rea_ly ride that bicycle and get some work
done in a fairly_ reasonable mAn_er. Portable equipment
restraints: you could never have too many of those,
•.. Sethers, bungees, uaiversal mounts. The one thing
' that you're alw_s looking for in a vehicle and we
never - there are never too -_y straps or Ve!cro -
correction: not straps, snaps - never too many snaps
or Velcro patches in the vehicle itself. The ATM
seat/backrest restraint has been used. It's go t the
slrline pipe belt on it, which is a necessity. Velcr0
Just doesn't do the Job in zero g for a belt. You
look at the belt cn the M131 chair, and it is practical-
ly negative, useless. The conical shoe cleats, we _-
are still evaluating. They come in handy at times in
that they are quick and easy to use relative to the
triangles; however, the o_e drawback to them is that
occasionally they get caught in the grid when you don't
want them to. Let's see now. Waste management: I,
as a new boy, and hearing horror stories from the old
heads, have been ... deliriously surprised with the
operation of the waste management e_u/pment__ the fecal
c_llectioa and the urine collection both. The air
stream on the fecal collection unit works quite well.
You must - I have found personally that you must use
the belt, and I must use the handhold and pull myself
down _on the seat to -_e sure you get a good seal.
The better the seal you got around the lid of the seat,
the better the equipment seems to work. The urine
collection equipm_t: once we found out that it didn't
work right unless you had a fecal bag in, otherwise
you don't get enough suction to the urine receiver,
works quite well. It is - it stays surprisingly clean,
and after some 4 days of use, the urine receiver and
hose has no odor, which I was concerned about prior
to launch.
19 19 37 PLT Okay. Pressing on to page 3-4, food management. The

wardroom table is, as far as an eating station, is
very nice. Just like training. The thigh restraints
I use two ways: either as designed or I also hook

I find that I personally don't use the footstraps at
all. I Just hook my knees over the thigh restraints
__aad,wit _ light pressure on the toes against the
table pedestal, maintain m_self in positicm there.
SO that covers the first three, I guess. The food
reco_stitution dispenser is - is good. Let me look
at your definitions.
19 23 20 PLT Okay, tape recorder. I find that for I don't know

how long I've been holding the record switch up on
this COMM box instead of the intercom box. Hopefully,
(cough) I got the run down on work restraints. ± got
page 3-3 on there. I'll do page 3-4 over again. The
wardroom table is convenient. It's - we've been using
itJusta_ we have in %ralnlng. The thigh restraints
I use two ways. One is to put my legs in in the ...
method. The other is I hook my knees over the inner-
most of the two crossmembers and with light toe pres-
sure against the work table pedestal, I maintain
position that way. The foot restraint - for either
the straps or the tri_le fittings I haven't been
/ using at all. Food reconstitution dispenser: those
water dispensers need some kind of handhold in their
vicinity.
19 2h 16 PLT It's fairly difficult to press down on it, especially

a Juice bag, which is filling and unpleating it's
accordian style at the same time. I think we need some
sort of small fingerhold not a handhold, right around
those water dispensers. The water gun works, as I
suppose you know, it's easy to use. It takes about
three shots of water before you get chilled water,
but that's all right. The food tray has worked out
fine. The beverage dispensers are too small. Each
accordian dispenser that you put in there for each
accerdlan container we putin there seems to be around
1.05 times as big as the drawer's design. The drawers
need to be about l0 percent bigger than they are.
They're hard to open, hard to close, hard to get drinks
in and out of. The freezing dispenser has worked fine.
The eating utensils have worked fine. It is a necessity
that they be held in place magnetically. The teaspoon,
I still think, is too small. Although I have brought
my large spoon down out of the command module. The
miscellaneous column, the sleep restraint is extremely
useful, versatile, and very good, I think. You can

quote "lie" unquote in any position you want. On your

back, on your side, on your st_ch, with as _,ny
covers as you want. It's All been quite nice. Trash
airlock - is all right. Right now the opening seals
in the lid are in very good shape. Plus that it takes
a pretty good heave. You either have to lie down,
straddle the thing, and really muscle and twist down
on it in order to release the interlock so you can get
the lid lock up over where two people have to use it.
We have also taken to taking our urine bags and folding
them double and wrapping them in 5 or 6 turns of gray
tape. It wan because we had a slight palpitation the
f__rst night in t We duml_ed_ some urine bags from the
e_d module and evidently they had quite a bit more
air in them than these urine bags have had. But we put
it in, put the urine bags in, dumped the airlock, tried
to push it out with the ejector, and it would only
move - It hardly seemed like it moved at all.
19 26 46 PLT When you tried to ts_ke a look, tried to close the outer -
door and could not, it was obvious that what wan in
there was stuck part way out. So we thought that on
day 2 of the mission, we had already lost the trash
airlock. However, by Judicious application of force,
we finally got the thing r-we_d down, decided that
it was the air in the bags expanding the bags being
exposed to vacumn and Just flat being too big for
airlock had JAw,,ed it in there. So subsequently, as
I say, we've taken to wrapping them with tape. The
vaeumn cleaner was used an such for the first time
last night to clean the - all inlet screens to all
fans. It worked very well. It was used mainly on the
flat debris screen surfaces where you could get at
them without any attachment on it at all. Now on a
couple of fans where I had to come in on an angle_ I
used the crevice tool, I believe it's called, and
cleaned it that way. The wardroom table is, as far as
noneating uses, has been used sometimes as a working
table and kind of reading checklists and sometimes
working on small equipment. That is the end of
h87-3 Alfa.

19 35 12 PLT Tape recorder, for the MiB1 on the SPT. We consider

the first two steps that we did yesterday on the OGI
mode to be validated; therefore we're picking up with
the third step today at level 8. The subject's state
of fitness is cranky as usual; therefore, no concern
or use.
20 00 23 PLT Ml31 on the sPT: the nitrogen pressure on the chair

is 1200.
20 00 59 SPT Tape recorder, this is the SPT with the debriefing

from MI31 OGI mode. Question number I: I had a slight
sense of rotatic_ at the last step T only. Question
_r 2: yes, and I debriefed on this previously
that the light target occasionally exhibits the tend-
ency to oscillate back and forth slowly. And it seem-
ed to occur both at the low steps a_en to some
extent at the higher steps. It's superimposed on the
illusion, or rather the illusion is superimposed on
- it. And I think it accountsfor the irregularityof
some of my responses. The only additional observations
I have are on the hardware. The misali_ent between
biteboard and goggle is such that it's impossible for
me to hold the biteboard in my teeth and still have
a light leak - or a light seal through the goggles.
I have to almost swallow the biteboard in order to
get a light seal. Then, of course, the settings tend
to change because of zero g. And I've noticed that
it's very easy in zero g to let the biteboard supporter
float up from its stop, which destroys the angle be-
tween your horizontal canal and the axis of rotatica.
You have to be very conscious about not letting it do
that. That' s all.
• 20 04 08 PLT Note of interest for M131 for the _S mode. In zero

gravity you float up out of the chair such that it is -
We don't remember whether we debriefed this on the
tape or not yesterday. You float up out of the chair,
and you Just cannot reach the proximity detectors;
therefore, we are going to continue this flight with-
out using them.

4835, 4904, 4895, 4860. That last number, then, was
3.74866. If I said 860 the time before, it's because
I can't read my own writing. Sequence 3: h.39805,
877, 802, 797, 817. Sequence 4: now I'm not going
to read you the first three nu_nbers in sequence 4,
because this is when they discover that the food tray
lids were rattling on it, very loosely. And the -
after the third reading, I taped them. And then I got
4.95455, 709, 587, 551, 6]_I, 472, 538. Sequence 5:
5.45764, 802, 755, 770, 799. Sequence 6: 5.91618,
607, 371, 837, 891, 964, 644, 133, Ii0, 750, 349, 756,
849, 614, 671. That was a total of 15 measurements
on sequence 6, which with all the trays on, but
without the batteries, etc. I never found out why
the readingswere sc erratic. The next step I did -
your next step on your procedure, was to slip the
M509 batteries and the T003 in their proper location.
This could not be done with the food trays all on.
So I took the upper three food trays off, four of
th_n, rather. Then I strapped on the M - two
M509 batteries, plus the T003, with gray tape. And
then I ran a sequence on that configuration. That
is one double-boll food trays, plus the batteries
in the T003, and the numbers came out llke this:
5.00129, 092, 266, 248, 234, 299, 261. Then I went
and got the other food trays again, put them back on
the table. Had to put new gray tape on it, so I had
two sets of gray tape for each of those four trays,
properly labeled. And - and the numbers on that
were, 6.77815, 790, 681, 644, 817, 728, 750, 881,
811, which is a reasonably good series of ten readings.
And, Bill, I don't think you're going to get any better
than this. Even with all the tape and stuff on it, you
can still hear noises every now and then as everything
goes - goes by. There is no way to properly secure
all that gear - even the food trays, with the rig you
got. It's very sensitive to ..., it's very sensitive
to motion, it's extremely sensitive to ar_ spacecraft
maneuver, however small. A TACS firing with a
saturated CMG would probably throw your readings out.
So, I don't think the inherent accuracy of the machine
is bad. But I think that as installed, - let's not
go to any more trouble to get the accuracy greater
than we got on this cal. End of the message.

loafing all day today, let the SPT read you the
results of the M131-2 spatial localization test,
conducted on the PLT this afternoon. Beginning with
page 4-16, I will read you a pitch and then a roll,
separated by a proper voice pause. I will read you
internal five pictures in five rows; external
five pictures in five rows. Here goes: 18, 305;

197, 192; 202, 188. Now, that's all there is for that
experiment. Now I'd like you to take a note for
general distribution, requesting and recommending
that logging of future M07h, M172 calibration, and
M131 spatial localization work and similar things
like that that are both written down and voice
logged; that we eS_m_nate the voice logging and
instead bring hame those few pieces of paper that
would allow us, accurately, to transmit the data to
the principal investigator. The crew is always
encouraged to use the voice logging, in order to
avoid that unnecessary waiting. However, in cases
like this, where we have to do both, it's very time
consigning. The time has not been allocated in the
Flight Plan, and it's causing us to fall behind.
And in some cases, I suspect the data is getting lost.
-- Thank you.

23 22 46 SPT Now, friendly tape recorder, this is the SPT once

again with a brief discussion of this afternoon's
M092, Ml71, on the PLT ; for distribution to the
medical operations and the medical investigators,
and whoever else - the Flight Directors, also. The
overall results were very similar today, as you will
see when you get your dat_ dump, to Paul's first run.
The leg volume parameter and heart rate parameter
didn't look quite as much changed on M092 as they
did the first run. Subjectively, it was the same,
as far as Paul was concerned. And the calf measure-
ments were even smaller. They dropped below
14 inches on the right leg; although we still use
the 14-15 cuff, because he has the reference band on
that leg. On the 171, - on my conversation yesterday
I recommended that all the protocols be lowered by
some l0 to 20 percent. I received no update on that
today. What we decided to do in the interim was
simply to revert to the preflight numbers, that we
have been using. We don't believe that this bicycle
is really less tough than the ones we trained on.
It's impossible to tell because the environment gets
in the way too much. We still haven't psyched out
what the best way tc do it is. Paul did it pretty
much the conventional way today, hanging on to the
handlebars. He ran in the protocol of 105, 155,
and then at the 210 point, we changed it back to
200. And from now on he'll run it 100, 150, 200.
And, Pete and I will also run it at our preflight
level. And we'll see how we do on that. It's
considerably more than a 75-percent work load,
subjectively. The oxygen consumption does not
bear that out, although the heart rate and blood
pressure do; and the very peculiar reversal of CO 2
and oxygen is s_nething I can't explain. I would
like to hear your thoughts on it. I don't know
whether the machine is out of calibration or whether
this is a real effect that we've seeing, but it
occurs eveu at rest. And it's most interesting. I
don't think in - in - in stunmary that Paul has showed
any degradation. I don't think the thermal effects
F were as bad. The - we've acclimatized at least
subjectively, to the temperature in the workshop.
And it doesn't really bother us any more except during
heavy exercise. I do think that - that our baseline,
Final
Dump Tape 151-11
Time: 22:06:31 to 23:29:42
Page 6 of 7
both for M092 and MI71, as far as degradation during

the flight is concerned, should be the first run that
we made and not the preflight data baseline, l'm
watching the M092 results carefully and am standing
by to eliminate the 50-millimeter step on myself or
any of the other crewmen who appear to be in border-
line. And on the MI71, We've made our recommendations
for lowering the workrate, and we'll keep you posted
on how we are managing to ride the bike. One very
important thing is that we all believe that we're
using different muscles up here to ride the bicycle
in zero. We're trying to find out how to bring those
muscles into play most efficiently. We're also
trying not to degrade our physical condition by rel-
ative inactivity by lack of exercise. There it's
suppose to be one session of PT in the Flight Plan
for each crewman on every day when he does not do an
EVA or a major medical. This has been faithfully
scheduled in most cases, but it's been scheduled
strictly on paper, as far as we're concerned, because
the other scheduled tasks have tsken so much time
that they have completely absorbed and wiped out PT,
PH, and in some cases meals. I think that's a - a
mistake. I think that bringing this crew back
healthy and as little degraded as possible, in their
exercise tolerance and their capacity to withstand
gravity, is one of the important objectives of the
flight, and I would like to see PT and PH put in the
schedule on an honest basis and give it priority
over most other objectives. The big problem is when
you have something running late in front of it and
something like ATM or S019, that is - that has a
firm, fixed schedule behind it and it Just has to go.
l'd like to see it scheduled at such a time that if
you're late getting there, you can Just go ahead
and do it and not hurt something that came up an
hour or so after it. End of message.
23 29 42 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT here at 23:30.

I would like to read you the ATM 4-1imb eoalinement

Question number 2: Yes, and I debriefed on this

slowl#, and it seemed to occur both at the low steps
and then to some extent at the higher steps. It's
superimposed on the - on the - on the - No, on the

larity of some of my responses. And the only addi-
tional observations I have are on the hardware. The
misalignment between biteboard and goggle is such
that it is impossible for me to hold the biteboard
in my teeth and still have a light leak - or a light
seal through the goggles. I have to almost sw_llow
the biteboard in order to get a light seal. And, of
course, the settings tend to change because of the
zero g. And I've noticed that it's very easy in
zero g to let the biteboard supporter float up from

izontal canal and the axis of rotation. You have to

O1 08 05 SPT B channel, SPT with a report on the 00:16 ATM run.

Active region 18 was the object of study. It is one
area of reasonably bright plage on active region 18.
I noted that is was possible to peak detector i very
easily. The background was running between 50 and 75,
and over the area of plage, it was running 5 to 600,
with very sharp discrimination and very collnear with
the H-alpha display. This was surprising and pleasing,
and it should be passed on to the training people.
That's about it on solar discovery. The - about the
only thing I remembered doing wrong on the building
block was I prematurely started S056 and 82B - Just
prior to step B of building block 4 without pointing
properly and I immediately stopped and, I guess, proba-
bly wasted a frame each. End of message.

was rnnning the procedure per the checklist and when
I got to the step to run in RAD/SCAT, I had to dr_ve
it back to less than 6-arc seconds off before I could
get the READY light. And after, I started operating
that at 6-arc seconds off, instead of the 20, which
I had appointed previously.

any dirt hardly at all anywhere else in the tape

a little bit for M516 on inflight maintenance, in
that the fourth missing screw from S019, which had
previouslybeen taken apart, was found, and was
installed, although it was shielded by S183. You

the DAC back on. And the ... that had ... is

13 44 09 CDR Hello, friendly tape recorder; this is the CDR on

S183. The time is 13:44; it's that sequence
number i, has been initiated on star field number
252 on plate 006.
13 45 45 SPT Okay, friendly B channel; this is the SPT at 13:45

with an M487-3A, subjective evaluation of the fol-
lowing equipment items. The OWS fireman's pole
has not been used. I believe, that if it were in
place, it would be a handy helper for - moving
rapidly down the workshop and for carrying large
objects with one hand; however, the strap, while
it probably doesn't do as good a Job - satisfactory
Job - and we don't have any present intentions
of rigging the fireman's pole. Okay, the OWS dome
and wall handrails, again, are adequate for their
Jobs, maybe even give them a very good. Their Job
is not to hand-over-hand it - you never hand-over-
hand it around that place, unless you've got a lot
F of equipment in your hand and are carrying a
large package, for instance, that you want to make
sure you don't get loose. You ordinarily fly from
one location to the next, and all you need when you
get there is something to grab onto, and the hand-
rails are perfectly satisfactory for that. I
think the handrails in the STS, are very good.
Once again, they're not for hand-over-handing.
They're for steadying oneself at work stations,
stopping when you come flying through the hatch.
You want a handrail to grab to torque yourself
around on to get into position to look at a panel.
Having the panels cireum - the handrails circum-
ferentially around the various panels is a very
good thing.
13 47 53 SPT Triangular shoes. We all wear the triangular shoes

most of the time. They're not at all necessary for
translation or walking. And, of course, we never
use them in that mode. They're extremely handy
for keeping oneself steady at a work station
while doing a Job, leaving both hands free. We
have several kinds of mushrooms and buttons for the
shoes up here. My personal preference now, the way
I'm going, is to wear the large mushroom on my
right foot and the triangle on my left foot. The
_-" Final
Dump Tape 154-03
Time: 13:h4:09 to 14:18:19
Page 2 of 7
triangle is quite helpful when you want to concen-

trate on something else for a few too many minutes -
want to lock yourself in and stay locked. However,
it's a lot of trouble getting it in, and a little
trouble getting it out. With two triangles on my
shoe, it drives me up the wall, because it takes me
30 to 45 seconds to get locked in at a spot, which is
a waste of time. Between the mushrooms, I've evaluated
the medium and the large. I thought the medium mush-
rooms were adequate, but they were too easy to slip
out with, and you had to concentrate too much on
keeping your foot pressed against one corner of the
triangle so that the mushroom wouldn't pop out. With
the large mushroom - this is not nearly so bad. They're
fairly easy to slip in and they hold very well. SGme-
times they're a little trouble getting out of. Trying
to get it out in a hurry, you have to sometimes look
down and figure out which direction you have to go.
I think, for that reason, Paul prefers small ones.
I prefer big ones. In snmmary, triangle shoes are
mandatory. If I had to make an improvement, I
would have loaded two pairs of shoes on board for
each crewman, so that I might leave the triangles
in one of them to ride the bike with and put mush-
rooms in the other.
13 _9 55 SPT The water tank foot platform is handy but not required.
If you're working at a dome locker for a period of
time, it is very pleasant to be able to stick one foot
int_ a mushroom or a triangle into one of the holes
in the - in the foot platform. So, if you're Just
going there to get loose item of equipment, you can
steady yourself on your hands, then open the locker,
steady yourself with your hands again, reach in and
get what you want, and steady yourself again, and
close the locker on the way down. The portable EREP
foot platform, I have not used. The portable PGA foot
restraint, we have not yet used. The portable hand-
holds have not been used. The portable tether hooks,
I _m currently using to try and rig ropes with handles
to hold myself down on the bicycle seat while peddling
the bike. The portable tether hooks hook you to the
floor grid and the ropes are attached to them, and
Final
Dump Tape 154-03
Time: 13:h4:09 to 14:18:19
Page 3 of 7
various locations can be selected either forward or

aft, of the - of the pedals to try and find the right
axis along which to exert the force. The big difficulty
here is that we didn't think, when we put all the extra
Junk in the experiment compartment, how handy those
triangles were going to be.
13 51 23 SPT And on the right-hand side of the bicycle there is

virtually no open grid work or holes between tri-
angles to put things in. The shower is much too
close to the bicycle. Okay, portable equipment,
these three: The straps are extremely useful. The
short straps, I haven't used too much. They are
really too short to tie things to. But the long
straps and the equipment straps are extremely useful.
I have right now, the entertainment tape recorder
strapped to the radio noise burst monitor here -
monitor here at the ATM panel. Bungees we find very
useful, particularly down in the wardroom and so on
for temporary restraint of cameras and checklists.
Sma]ler things than that, such as pads, the bungees
are not adequate for me, because they - the pads
slip out and makes it too flat or too smooth. But
anything that's got hooks on it, like a camera,
works out very well under a bungee.
13 52 29 SPT The - One item of equipment that is a pain in the neck,

and it's not useful at all, are the large clipboards
that snap in the standard snap pattern. Everytlme
you touch one of those things, they come flying off.
On the other hand, it's a major operation to get them
back on the snap. And we Just made a bad mistake by
assuming that we could snap something to a flat wall,
especially something with any standoff, such as these
clipboards have, and then exert any force against it.
The ATM seat is very useful, although you don't
really sit in it, obviously. You have to push the
seat belt down pretty tight ah - if you want your
back to be supported. I find it useful because it
gives you a body-centered restraint from which you
can work against. You can reach the whole ATM panel,
Final
Dump Tape 15h-03
Time: 13:4h:09 to 14:18:19
Page 4 of 7
and you can reach the co_sn box, and the TV SELECTOR
switch on your left. You can't reach the VTR on the
right, and you can reach - myself, I can only reach
the very nearest checklists and the checklist com-
partment. But, of course, by loosening the lap belt
you can then reach the VTR, you can reach above you -
all the lockers - you can reach the radio noise
burst monitor, you can even ziggy over and see
what time it is on the MDA panel, bring yourself back
to the ATM. And you can work either with or without
the foot rest. Without the foot rests - I mean the
lap belt - without the lap belt, it Just serves as a
sort of a - nook. You know, your - body floats be-
tween the ATM panel and the chair, and it's useful,
too. I think it's a great tool. I've already
talked about the conical shoe cleats. I called them
mushrooms. The fecal collection equipment - works,
much to our surprise, if one is careful and takes
it slow. Stand by.
13 56 46 SPT Okay, B channel, where were we? Fecal collection

equipment. The air-flow method of collection
appears to be practical. A larger air flow, I think,
is mandatory on future mission designs. This one is
marginal. However, the method appears feasible.
And the urine collection, not only is the method
feasible, but the flow is probably adequate or very
close to it. The urine flush water dispenser, we
have not used. Let me get back to fecal collection
equipment to mention something I said on channel B
before. Stand by a minute.
13 58 01 PLT That's all I could see_ so I didn't bother.
13 58 08 SPT Okay, B channel. The lap belt on the fecal collec-

tion unit is a Velcro type thing, and it should be
a positive lap belt, such as the ATM chair. The
handwasher is quite useful, although I think, in
future design, we could arrange an enclosed one, so
that you could actually work with water, rather than
having to soak everything up in a washcloth. It's - it's
extremely useful to have a water dispenser in the
head for taking a sponge bath and wiping things
down, and a handwasher serves that function very
Final
Dump Tape 154-03
Time: 13:44:09 to 14:18:19
Page 5 of 7
nicely. Okay, the - I talked about the lap strap.

The handholds are fine, they're well-placed, and
they certainly are necessary - in the fecal collec-
tion system. The handwasher handrail, let's Just
say, in general, that it's nice to have some hand-
rails around the waste management compartment for
parking you body. The foot restraints in the waste
management compartment are not good. The locations
are okay, except I notice that two of the foot
restraints tend to interfere with the CDR and the PLT's
waste compartment drawers, opening of same, some-
thing we ought to avoid in the future. The problems
with the foot restraints as they are: number i,
they're Velcro; they are not - very easily adjustable
for size; and they keep coming apart. Number 2, they
are not large enough to admit the cleated shoe, and Just
the bare or slippered foot. And that problem has to
be thought through and some better foot restraints
r provided. And foot restraints are very handy and
even required in there.
lh 00 09 SPT It's nice to have a small, closed compartment like

that. You can go in there and close the door and
kind of bounce around. The waste management system's
ceiling handrail - didn't know there was one. The
light-duty foot restraints, I think we've talked
about. Our drying stations are adequate and handy.
Things dry out very rapidly up there. And as for the
zero-g shower, it's a pleasant experience, and I
think it proves the - the feasibility of the prin-
ciple that man can live in a small close space with
water, and he's not going to drown, because the water
does not fly through the air. It sticks to whatever
is there, mostly you, partly the walls. Again, I
think the air flow in there is grossly inadequate.
The method of containing the water and getting it
into a, you know, compartment where you can throw it
away, is not good. It takes forever to dry both
oneself and the walls, using the inadequate little
vacuum cleaner that we've got, and some better method
ought to be come up with. But the principle of
crawling inside a shower and spraying yourself down
is great.

14 02 17 SPT Okay, channel B, we're back to food management equip-

ment now. The wardroom table, the eating station is
fine, except for the co_mlents on the foot restraints,
which are of the same type as the head foot restraints,
which are inadequate. The thigh restraints do their
Job, but require foot restraints along with them in
order to be maximally useful. And the option exists
of hooking the mushroom into a triangle. We do that
sometimes. Again, there aren't enough triangles
underneath these various working stations, in partic-
ular, in the wardroom, because so much of the area
• has been used up by structuresof various kinds. So
the idea of having a slip-in foot restraint there is
..... good, but we need a better kind.
_ lh 03 06 CC ... Hawaii at 14:14.
CDR Roger.
SPT Okay, food reconstitution dispenser, no problems,

really. You need a little something to react aginst
when you're pushing the food down into the water dis-
penser. Generally, you either brace yourself with
your thigh restraints or you put one hand on the edge
of - of the food table and pull at that while you
push down with the other hand. The water gun is Just
fine. It's an excellent piece of equipment. The food
tray is okay, except that the friction set should be
spring clamped or something of that sort, so that it
can tolerate food cans and, in particular, drink
containers of a wider dispersion of sizes. A very
common event is for a small food tray - small food
can or drink container to Just go wandering off,
because it doesn't stick in the friction sets. Aside
from that, it's a fine thing. The food cans are okay,
with the split-the-seam proviso. The beverage dis-
pensers have a couple of drawbacks. They are adequate;
they are doing the Job. But aside from the failure-
type things, such as valves that leak air backwards
and seam failures that we've had, none of which, by
the way has been catastrophic, the problem with the
beverage dispensers is that the tendency, when they
are half full or less, is for them to suck air. And
the nozzle you have to flip into the top in order to
drink has a tendency to stay in place and allow them
to suck air, which gives you a mixture of half beverage
Final
Dump Tape 154-03
Time: 13:44:09 to 14:18:19
Page 7 of 7
and half air, and that's not good. Okay, seasoning

dispensers - I don't use the salt much. It tends to
bounce off the food a lot. It doesn't taste very
good. I think that needs work. The eating utensils
are fine. The sleep restraint, I think, is an excel-
lent thing. The only improvement I would make to it
at all is to put an additional elastic strap lower
down. You wouldn't have to use it if you didn't
want to, but I think it would be handy. The trash
airlock: so far, so good. It's easy to use, with
the exeption of closing and locking the doors is
almost a two-man Job, because of the forces required
to compress the seal. Its reliability, of course,
remains to be seen. The vacuum cleaner, fortunately,
I haven't had to use. I have never liked it. I don't
think it sucks enough, but I haven't used it on the
flight. And the wardroom table for non-eating uses.
The only non-eating use that I've put it to, aside
frum Just sitting there reading pads, is making notes,
and it's quite adequate for making notes. You don't
need a flat surface. So all you need is the re-
straint - something to lean your elbows on so you
can exert pressure with your pencil. And that's it
for 487-3.
14 18 07 SPT Fire alarm. I think we learned our lesson on that.

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

on JOP 4, so the PIs 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
though we were operating with a nominal ATM, which
we definitely are not.
16 31 40 SPT Friendly B, another comment from the SPT on

JOP 4. The pointing in this ease, 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 be 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
_nd 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 39 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.

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

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

CDR, on d_y 15h and 16:35_ for an M587-B Alfa,
subjective evaluation, guide i. Work
restraintsmobility 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 hack and forth, and
I'm sure that the fireman's pole will he 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,
Final
Dump Tape 154-06

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 troublewith 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 M512/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 opportunity to evaluate yet -
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 154-06
Time: 16:23:21 to 17:44:38
Page h 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
sa_e 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
spring bungees as adequate and I rate the tiedown
strap as poor. I com_nented 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 bit 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 ATMpanel 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 hl 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:hh: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 _2 26 CDR Waste management and hygiene equipment - this whole

area turned out to he 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 absolutelyoutstandingmanner,
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 al] 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 17:4h:38
Page 6 of 8
I think, 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 and 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 h6 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 them because 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
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 reeonstitution
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 48 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 so ... 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 ...

At the beginning of this pass, a strange thing
happened. I went Sun center, turned the WHITE
LIGHT CHRONOGRAPH MAIN POWU_ to ON, did not
expect or get a READY light, went ahead and
issued a START co_nand, 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.

was 153. The unit calibrated was the waste management
compartment unit. The start time was 21:22; tempera-
ture, 77 degrees. Sequence 1 - and again some ground
rules, friendly channel B. On the first reading of
each sequence, I will read off six digits, thereafter
I will read only the three or two significant digits
that changed, followed by a pause between each one.
In some cases there will be five n_nbers; in some cases
there will be as many as l0 or 12, depending on how
long I had to go in order to meet the ground rules.
Okay. Sequence l: 1.96701, 635, 653, 597, 649, 669,
3356, 51. Second sequence: 2.04146, 161, 187, (cough)
130, 061, 125, 153, 53, 27, 44, 50. Third sequence:
2.11398, 86, 89, 76, 82. Sequence h: 2.18397, 386,
257, 328, 363, 371, 395, 333, 357, 375, 372, 376.
Fifth sequence was 250 gr_, 2.31780, 815 - 715, 770,
736,699, 7hl, 748, 730, 751. The sixth sequence:
2.44407, 401, 384, 358, 432, 405, 387, 505, 378, 378.
Seventh sequence: 2.62190, 182, 154, 207, 189, 199,
269, 176, 190. Eighth sequence with 750 gr-ma is
2.89487, 494, 524, 455, 487, 475, 468, 505, 462, 490.
The ninth sequence is 3.04686, 684, 662, 670, 652, 654.
And the last sequence, again no waste - no mass,
1.96490, 547, 607, 588, 586, 570, 614, 608, 613, 590,
605. And - oh, the comments I made on the B_4D ap-
plies pretty much to this one except that the wastes
don't apply. The thing is so obviously so sensitive
to vibration, wind, technique, vehicle movement, that
it's difficult tQ calibrate it within the accuracy that
you are seeking. And this is an example of what it
takes to do it. End of message.

O1 50 16 SPT B channel, this is for the medical people. It is a

report on the IMSS drugs, their status appearance,
care, and feeding. Dear medical people, I was a little
bit bemused at your requesting me to check for chemical
degradation of all those different drugs. I'm really
not an expert at that. So, instead, let me Just
tell you what I did with all the drugs. And you can
take it from there. I came up, as you know, with the
comand module medical accessories kit, plus an ad-
ditional kit that _ou put onboard to replace those
drugs probably spoiled on Skylah. I also came up
with three additional pages to the I_SS Checklist to
tell me a bit about the drugs and what they do. And
_ let's go throughthose pages. Page XII contains
category I drugs. Do not use, definitely spoiled.
Epinephrine - and I replace_those with the drugs
that you sent up. Erthyromycin, I replaced. And the
Xylocaine 1 percent Epinephrine, I took one vial for a
sample and discarded the rest. Category II, for do not use,

inadequate data. The first three, I replaced. Heparin,

I discarded, with samples. I took samples of most
all these. Mylanta was replaced. Pentobarbitsl, I
took one sample and left four of them there, in case
they were good. The Pilocarpine was replaced. The
Preduisolone was replaced. The Scopolamine was dis-
carded. You didn't send a replacement for that. The
Scope/Dex tablets were discarded. Tetracyline was
replaced. Valium injectable was sampled and four vials
were left. Valium tablets and Prednisone tablets
were discarded.
O1 52 37 SPT Okay. On page XIII you have category III-A and III-B
drugs. And I discarded among those the Sulfamylon
because it was replaced and the tube looked a little
crnmmy, wrinkled. For all the rest of those drugs,
let me say this. This is the action that I took. All
drugs for which a replacement was in either the com-
mand module medical accessories kit or the additional
kit were discarded/returned as samples. And only the
fresh drugs will be used onboard. Where you sent more
than one vial or bottle of a drug, the excess was
canned in the can from which our drugs were taken and
that can was put back in the place where the SL-2 drug
can normally goes. And that'll be there for the SL-3
and SL-4 crews. The antibiotics, for example, that you
sent two or more vials of up. Okay. Any drugs that you
did not send replacements for, and there were quite
a number in that area, what - I - I simply left in
place in their activated place, and we'll use, if
necessary. The only drug which evidenced any spoilage
at all was a tube of Neosporin ointment. The tube had
broken open. That was - the mess was cleaned up
snd the tube was discarded and we are short of Neo-
sporin on the flight. But we'll get by. And as for
the long list on pages X and XI, let me say that I
sampled virtually every drug that I replaced or dis-
carded and that I don't think I will have time during
deactivation to go back, doublecheck, and sample all
of that. I'll do what I can. If I get some spare
time, I will be able to go back in here, and if we
have room in the command module, grab some more hand-
fuls out of our unused drawers and bring them back.
That's it.

13 h9 20 PLT Hello, B channel, for the EREP alignment check at

13:h9. And the S192 power was turned on 35 minutes
ago at 13:lb. At 13:h9, the following readings were
noted: Bravo 3 is reading 83_ Charlie 3_ reading 88_
Delta 3, reading 85; Charlie 5 is reading h0; Delta 5
is reading 13; Delta 6 is reading 40.
lh 46 29 FLT 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 came over the rollers than the other four which
I had advanced manually. However, in all six maga-
zines, the film does take up properly. It winds
nice and tightly on the tskeup 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
ones have more sets for being the same position for
the s_ne 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 alignment at one
time, and in an attempt to peak it up, I've lost
the stinking thing and I have been working for _5
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.
lh h9 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 readJu_tim_ 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

an iterative process. We'll keep working on it.

write a new cue card checklist right now to maybe
take care of that stuff. Meanwhile, Bravo 7 dropped

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

j today's EREP pass. First thing being the failure to
open the S190 window cover. We think that probably
the best ws_ 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 EBEP Checklist, which is the
s_mmary timeline and use those. I think once you get
familiar enough with checklist, that you can Just use
that s,,mm,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 - what 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 cumuliform. 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 07:1B: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.

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.
And it's interesting, in that, it was very easy to peak
up detector I, the grating was in I%EFEBENCE, in that -

20 00 09 SPT B channel, SPT at (cough) 20:00 with some J0P IA

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'ii 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 i, rather than
full-zoomed in. _11]-zocmed 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 l'd recommend, in the trainer,
that you guys try to locate yourselves and mark
them zo_ned out about halfway. End of message.

22 15 h5 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 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 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.
SPT ... in 25 words or less. The sleeping bags are good.
CDE 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?
CDR ... 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 EEEP 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 _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 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

great for the o_rator. It may be more - comfortable

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 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 blim/t 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 soft fabric part
of a duct betweem my 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 san
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 41 CDR Yes, I think - I think the thing that's 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

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 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
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 like 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 ...

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
from the sides. We can mske 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 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 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 eoment, 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: 22:15:46 to 22:52:28
Page 6 of ii
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 l'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, hut 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 - -
SC ...
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 communications,

that is hollering, how effective has it been?
SC Not very effective.
22 21 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 _)A 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;
Final
Dump Tape 155-12
Time: 22:15:45 to 22:52:28
Page 7 of Ii
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 _2 _5 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 wife ...
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 [?].
22 45 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 45 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 co_mnon
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 activities 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
Final
Dump Tape 155-12
Time: 22:15:45 to 22:52:28
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 ...
SPT 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 ...
PLT They're not in the - I don't need the dang things -

They're - We're - -
CDR Not another clamp' I got them.
PLT We've got snaps of (laughter) Velcro. We've got snaps

of Velcro all over the vehicle, and we don't have
enough.
22 h8 15 SPT How effective are the various tools used thus far; in
particular, what tools are well suited and what
tools are poorly suited for use in zero g?
CDR Well, the - a tool is poorly suited when you have to

put about six or eight pieces together to get the
tool to work. You know, but again, I was pleasantly
surprised to get the tools ... You got ...
PLT You've got something to hang onto.
CDR You've got something to hang onto ...
SI_2 What - what significant improvisation (procedural;

equipment arrangement or modifications, etc.) have
you accomplished as a result of adapting to living
and working in zero g?
CDR .•.
SPT Yes, the major one that came up today is doing away
with all - We wound up doing away with all the re-
straints for the bicycle ergometer.
22 49 26 PLT We had that thing in 16 different arrangements and

configurations, none of which worked very well, and
we finally wound up - Joe tried it yesterday and the
day before and I got _ shot at it today. And the
Final

best way of all is unrestrained .... You've got to

keep your feet through the pedal. Other than that ...
SC ...
PLT Yes, your feet are hooked into the pedal with the
triangle shoes. You're holding onto the handlebars
with your hands, and that's it .... you may or may
not use ...
SPT Okay. That last question is, "How satisfactory have

been lighting, noise, temperature, humidity, and
airflow?" Temperature, we're going to have to kind
of pass on, because we've had some problem, although
the perfect temperature ...
22 50 20 CDR Yes, we're running right around 74 or 75 degrees in

the OWS. I still think it's - it's because of our
thermal problem, we're running cold in the MDA. We're
running about 60 - 60 to 59 degrees, which is definitely
col der.
SPT 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
... 0WS dome. But you usually find it there. Depend-
ing on where it may end up there a couple of days
later. But the airflow in the workshop is much, much
more effective.
SPT That's good point. I want to get this in. We're

always losing stuff; I'm probably the worst. And
I think it suits your vehicle design to make use of
this airflow - for proper closeout in areas to make
sure there's nothing ...
22 51 18 CDE Yes, for instance the SWS army knife ... down here.
It amazingly, as big a piece of gear as that is, you
can make a triangle with it and it doesn't hang up.
Thatls the beauty of these .... it won't hang up,
and it winds up back on the dome air screen.
SPT That's right .... We haven't tried that yet.

we're beginning to ... a lot of it down. I think the
light level is too low, and for my -
CDE ...
SPT ... the color temperature or quality of the light

is too harsh ....
CDR Yes. Like you say, when all light's are out - -
SPT The brighter light is great for translating back and

forth ... I would like to have more light ...
22 52 28 CDR Yes, we do work at the wardroom table to write, look

over Flight Plans, and so forth; and it might be
nice if your lighting is - instead of putting -
you know, you're combining a wardroom into that
sort of thing ... That's about the end of it.

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, hh051; at the minus-Z
SAL: 1807h.
ll 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 ll:15 with the M133 log. Dear M133 PI,
first, I'll Just read the sleep quality and time
codes from my log to kind of catch you up. And then
I'll 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,
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 intendedto 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 0wen 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 immediately went to sleep. I'm interested to
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 reco_nend 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 l0 minutes
to do that Job. End of message.

was acquired IN-TRACK; 415 could not be found

clouds are a major factor. The same with h20
and 445, which is just a spot in the water. Make
that a clear spot in the clouds and track that.
And then, getting back on with what I was doing
and getting back out, as I mentioned, drive is
about 50 seconds late getting back onto the nadir
swath. And started it about 410. A couple of
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,
you really want to keep the ability to go to
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 hack through the head. End of message.

it has the appearance on each Alpha this morning of
being a new active region. There are two areas of

quite bright. The small is simple; they are oriented

21 20 19 CDR Okay. This the CDR at - 2 - 120, starting on the

mixup between building block 23 and 13. I now have
out 23 and it looks like the only harm that was done
was that I missed or will miss two or three sets of
S054 pictures. For some reason, I read that as 13
rather than 23. Everything else is the same and
should get a good grate on S055.
21 24 19 SPT Hello, tape recorder. M131 OGI run on the SPT is

complete. Chair pressure is 1200 psi.
21 24 50 SPT Okay, tape recorder. This is the SPT, the M131 0GI
subject. And you'll be seeing these in the debriefing,
but the responses were interesting. I got six right
in step l; six right in step 4; only two right in
step 8. Whether that was fatigue or what, I don't know,
but subjectively, it was as though I stopped seeing
the responses and began to see this slow, back-and-
forth oscillatory motion instead, and it pretty well
drowned the responses out. In step 10, I got six
right; and in step 18, I got seven right; and again
in step i_, I could almost sense the rotation, although
I don't think I could sense the direction of it very
accurately, through the seat of my pants, which inci-
de_t_aily, are not held on the chair very well by the
straps. End of message on OGI. Well, let me give you
one more, Just as a general side note. It is really
remarkably difficult to keep from going to sleep when
you're doing this stunt, much more so than on the
ground. For some reason, whe n you power down up here,
all your muscles relax and your heart slows down, and
you find yourself drifting off, if you're not careful.

21 53 22 SPT Tape recorder, this is SPT, the subject of the

M131 MS test. And I went 150 head movements at
12-1/2 rpm with no symptoms. There was an inter-
ruption due to a fault light due to my foot
hitting some structure or other after the
45th head movement. We came down for the
minimum 30 seconds required to reactivate the
experiment, went right back up again and con-
tinued. I don't think the results are invali-
dated thereby. I simply didn't have any
symptoms even transiently, although I felt
the acceleration and the deceleration and the
head movements Just as much as I would normally.
And I noticed at the end of it, Just when taking
my blindfold off, that I did have nystagmus - it
was very transient. It was as though the visual
neural pathways had been severed. I Just didn't
have any symptoms at all of motion sickness, and
will stand by for your recommendations on a pos-
sibly higher level the next time I run the test.
22 00 01 SPT Okay, tape recorder, this is the MA calibration

check. The time is 22:00, and the CAL N2, 02,
C02 bottle PRESSURE is 1623.
22 05 18 SPT Okay, B channel. The MA CAL check: 02 is out

of tolerance and the only ADJUST that's out of
tolerance. ADJUST N 2 is okay. ADJUST CO 2 is
okay. ADJUST 02 is supposed to be h.267, and

it comes up 4.314. I'm going to change it.
22 06 26 SPT Okay. I changed it to h.263, and that means

the percent 02 pushed itself 5h.06.
22 08 i0 SPT Okay, tape. ADJUST N - ADJUST N 2 down to about
2.265. And ADJUST 02 up to about 4.283. Six per-

cent oxygen come in. Percent oxygen is 54.42.
Percent C02 is 15.03. The CAL N2, H20 bottle
PRESSURE is 1623.
22 ll 19 SPT Okay, tape. The initial reading on the percent

H20 is 23.40, which is out of spec. And the

terminated at 6 minutes and 30 seconds left to go in
the run. Heart rate had peaked at about 120. Ap-
proximately a minute before then, the indicated heart
rate was coming on down and at termination it was
about 90 - 95 to 98, somewhere in there. The - both
the - indication of both systolic and diastolic blood
pressures had come down. Systolic was indieating
about 60, although I don't believe that; neither
does Dr. Kerwin. The diastolic was apparently less
than h0, which appeared to be the minimum that the
cuff will read. So - so there.

20 17 h2 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT, the subject

of the recent M092 run. It is now 20:18. I have
the following co_,nents to make for the PI and the
medical operations folks. Terminated the run early,
based on the parameters that Paul just read you, and
I - subjective feeling of a little dizziness and a
little cold sweat. What I want to emphasize is that
this is not much of a change, in m_ opinion, from the
results of the previous M092 runs that I have made,
as I told Dr. Ross the other night, and I think I
put this on B channel 1. 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
been any essential change. The only change in pro-
cedure we made was that I rode with the crotch ad-
Justment one notch higher, up at 9, than previously.
We've all noticed the fact that in zero g, it tends
to suck you a little further into the can. I don't
think that was significant at all. You would have
thought it would change in the other direction. I
would recommend, with the PI's concurrence, that
on my next run, I run at 304040, rather than 304050.

the ATM pass, at 20:00:03. JOP 2A, paragraph 6,
building block 7 says, "Roll 82B SLIT for uniform
H-Alpha emission." I thought I had done that but
in further pursuing the XUV MON, it looks like I
had 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 MITI 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 recom_aend that the oncoming
crews start now to train on a horizontal bike, where
they will get this kind of In]]. 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 afternoon in calibrating it.

PLT Tape recorder, on the MO92 on the SPT. All of the

impedances were high, that is pegged high. However,
the heart rates checked out good within two beats
of each other on X, Y, and Z, and we're pressing on.
CDR Hello, friendly B channel. Systems housekeeping

l0 Alfa is complete. The SUS pumps ran okay and
the csmtion and warning system functioned normally
throu@_out the operation of the SUS pump. That's all.
PLT Hello, tape recorder. The M092 run on the SPT was
termizated at 6 minutes 30 seconds left to go on the
run. Heart rate peaked at about 120. Approximately
a min_Ze before then, the indicated heart rate was
coming on down. At termination, it was about 90 - -
SPT 98I think. _
PLT - - 95 to 98; somewhere in there. The - both the -

indication of both systolic and diastolic blood
pressures have come down. Systolic was indicating
about 60, although I don't believe that& neither
does Dr. Kerwin. The diastolic was apparently
less than 40, which appears to be the minimum
that the cuff will read. So - so there.
CDR Hello, friendly B channel, for the ATM people. On

the Aq_ pass at 20:00:03, JOP 2A, paragraph 6,
building block 7, where it says, "Roll 82B SLIT
for uniform H-Alpha emission." I thought I had
done that, but in further pursuing the XUV MON,
it looks like I had it rolled a little bit too far,
hrcause the XUV MON and none of the crosshairs
really line up. And you've really got to figure
out where you are and it took a little while to do
that sad I guess ... is roll .., you a little bit

14 55 h5 MCC Okay, we're showing about 0.87 on the DELTA-P and -

we figured you would go either way. We think
that it will probably take a little moisture out, but
it may not be too efficient, and we'll get it after
the EVA.
SPT Okay.
14 56 16 CDR I got to do a 180. Okay, that's not right. I'll do

a 180 one more time. There you go. Very good.
Okay, start working, Joe.

CDR-EVA Paul - Paul - Paul left the procedures ... book up -

down in the wardroom in his locker. How about up-
linking your procedures next station? We can wing
most of it. We got it pretty well committed to

straints, and I'll start handing you ;oles.

SPT-EVA Do I hand you the mushroom end first?
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

Now, there're the kind of dynamics you get into.

turn it around.

I do that?
SPT-EVA What ?
CDR-EVA Where's the tether end? It's down here, right?
CDR-EVA I 'm unfortunately over it.
SPT-EVA Over what?
CDR-EVA Over my umbilical. I think I got a big loop in it.

What I'm going to do is pull out the 55-foot end
at the same time I'm pulling out the short end.
I got a big loop in it.
SPT-EVA Couldn't you have a big loop in it?

light in your suit; I put it in.
SPT-EVA Our friend Scorpio is right smack on top of us.
PLT Mainly because the only thing I can see in the window

16 08 33 MCC Okay, fine. Thank you very much. Hey, P. J. we're

recon_nending - Which pump are you on? Whichever one
you're on, we'd reco_m_end that you try to switch to
the other one. See if that gives you any cooling.
16 08 43 PLT Okay, I'm on the PRIMARY. I'll go hack and try the

Joe ?

the problem. Bunch of wires in the way. Gosh, that
prevented you from getting it that time.

CDR-EVA Yes.
MCC Joe, Just for your information. We operated on the

opposite side of the discone from the one you're
operating from - that is, we operated from the right-
hand side of the discone. That ms_f help you, if you
need more pole.
CDR-EVA It's not a question of pole -
16 36 42 SPT-EVA It's not a question - I've got more than enough pole,
Rusty. It's a question of keeping _, feet from
flying away so that I can not only reach the thing,
but hold it there.
MCC And the only thing I can say, that in the water tank
we stood up almost parallel with the discone, with
our feet down by the base, and used the discone cone
as a handhold. That helped us, you might to try
th at.
SPT-EVA I'm doing that. It's not a handhold I need, Rusty,

it's a foothold.
16 36 58 MCC We put our feet right at the base of the discone and

SPT Once we were smart enough to get on SUS 2, it was fine.
CDR What do you think happened to i? Did it freeze up?

little bit of heat in the loopbefore we turn it on,
but we've got a little procedure here for P. J. in case
he wants some cooling.
SFI' He may want some cooling. It's pretty warm with that
suit on.
15 07 52 CC Right. And we've got a procedure for him, and we'll

read that to him. In fact, let us know - probably

That's because Pete is looking ...
SPT With a little imagination, it suddenly becomes up.
CDR Besides that, he's climbing. That's ascending.
MCC I believe the people in Pensacola are very interested

in that, Pete.
CDR Well, up and down is strictly a matter of how you want

to do it. Every night the world goes by so that you
lay on the wardroom ceiling to see that the world is
right side up, and when you come back in from looking
at the world right side up - -

getting warm, holler an I'll get off it.

SPT-EVA Understand.
CDR-EVA Well, if I could Just get it, I got it made. I'm not
worried. I could spend the night here.

it next pass.
SPT-EVA I think we can probably pull it with one hook in it,

if we couldn't get two.
CDR-EVA Well, yes.
SPT-EVA We've got one hook in it right now.
SPT-EVA I'm tempted to take up tension on that beauty. Can

you m_age it while I hold tension to wrap another

sion on the rop, if you can. You got a lot of excess,
as you can see. One more turn on the high side ought
to hold it.

SPT-EVA It's all right, it ma_es a big loop out there, but
that doesn't hurt anything. Do you want to go out
that side and I'd have to tend mine a little bit for
you.

SPT-EVA Did it?
CDR-EVA But it only looks like the very tip one is the one
that's holding the panel; the rest of them may be.

to move back to the hinge.

know.

fer your tether and check where the J_s[Y] 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 ahead and cut through it, if you can, Joe.

wing, and that's when you do your Hercules bit, Pete.

looked to me like that would have been an ideal way
to get up here. We could have _one ahead and rigged
that thing so it could have been a crotch tether.
We could have done it real easy.
SPT-EVA We could have done it, yes. You should have clone it

some more EVA reports. The CDR wore PCU serial
number 013. He used SOP serial nt_mber 010. It
now has 5900 pounds per square inch remaining.
And he used umbilical 013. Maybe I said that.
The SPT used PCU side [1S number 010; SOP, 016;
and it has 6100 psi remaining in it. And he used
umbilical 009. And so much for that bunch 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

The right corner of the sail - There's a big bunch
- there's a - there's a big bunch about 3 feet forward
of that corner as if the material had wrinkled and
stuck and never came completely apart.
CDR-EVA It's that local hot spot.
SC-EVA Well, forward of that, I suspect, because

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