00 34 56 CDR Hello, channel B tape recorder. The results of the


housekeeping 14 Golf with the iodine assembly are as
follows.

CREW ...

.... CDR In the water chiller, it was 1 part per million. In


tank l, which is feeding the water chiller, it is
9 parts per million. End of message.

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


ATM pass as l've had quite a while. We started from a
bazaar powerdown configuration, which I still haven't
figured out. After performing powerup for unattended
ops per the message and powerup from unattended ops
versus our much scratched-up cue card, I still had
about a dozen switches to attend to, including getting
the fine Sun sensor on and configuring at EY/_ERIMENT
POINTING, et cetera, and so forth. At that point, the
82A and the 54 had no ready lights. The door talkbacks
were white, and after a brief and unsatisfactory discus-
sion with Houston, I had to go into the door malfunc-
tion procedures and I wound up powering down and then
reenabling the door motors, which worked, and got the
experiments into a ready light configuration. So from
that point on, 54 operated normally. S050 - or rather
S082A was called upon only for one fra-_, a time
exposure. The frame counter, which had m_steriously
been reset to 200 since the PLT tested it this after-
noon during EVA.

PLT No, no, no.

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


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

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


through JOP 6, and I got one up - one building block i0,
which I had to truncate the last three S054 exposures,
but we did get a little bit of data. The H-alpha 1
_ camera image looks terrible. It's blurred, out of
focus, appears to be considerably off-line center,
half way between an H-alpha and a white light picture.
This may be - I hope it is - a thermal problem. I
would like for you to advise on that. Good night.

SPT Okay, one more thing. I will give you the frames
remaining. H-alpha, 12007; X-RAY TELE h183; XUV
SPECT, 199; XUV SLIT, i010; WHITE LIGHT
CHRONOGRAPH, h974; and 3714 for S05h. Good night.

02 35 h6SPT And, recorder; SPT again. One more thing on the ATM
pass. The S055 RASTER SCAN counter started counting
about i0 times per sequence during a MIRROR AUTO PAS__R.
It's probably a minor problem, but why don't you look
at it?

hag anom-ly. I don't know whether to call this a
failure or not, but when I was evacuating my urine
bag, this morning, prior to inserting it in the box,
serial number 549, I heard a distinctive squealing
noise and discovered that the black nipple valve, the
urine outlet valve, was - impotent, and it was - it
was leaking air in. I know that - the customary
routine is - that - to plus that valve when evacuating
the bag. I have not been doing it. And all the bags
that had been - exhibited good tightness. We've
decided not to use this bag because if the valve leaks,
it might leak out, and the - might leak urine when you
remove it at the end of the day, so we're going to
discard that bag. End of message.

15 30 33 SPT - - Tape recorder, I opened the S192 door. S192 MODE


to READY. Got a READY light. Went back and turned
the ALIGN switches ON. I still did not get an ALIGN
READY light. The visible readings are practically
unchanged. However, without having touched
anything, the thermal channel reading has come up to
60 percent, 60. I don't understand. But I may Just
let it go.

15 34 34 PLT Okay, tape recorder, some more for the EREP people.
Per the checklist, after I'd opened the 192 door, I
closed it again, and after I noted that the thermal
channel was indicating 60 percent, I went back and
looked and it was back to 40. I decided to check
something out ; opened the 192 door again. As the
door was in transit, the thermal channel reading would
r vary between 40 and about 52 percent. Just as the
door - it would sit there and cycle back and forth, I
don't know if it's getting reflections or what. As
the door would come full open, then the thermal channel
reading then went on up to about 60 percent. That's
where it's set. I'm going to go ahead - Oh, and also
this time, on opening the door and getting a 192 READY
light, I have an ALIGN READY light, that appears
to be a sometimes thing. Stand by.

15 35 48 PLT Okay, people, I solved that one. The only time we


get an ALIGN READY light is when we have a S192 READY
light. In other words, when I go MODE to STANDBY, I
no longer have the ALIG_ READY light either.

People. Since we are now drying suits in a normal
fashion, I'm going to make an executive decision and
put only two desiccants in each suit rather than four,
because, number l, it gets us there on time with the
desiccants; number 2, it avoids us having an impossible
problem at the end of the mission trying to dry
12 desiccants for l0 hours each. We wouldn't have
time to do it. End of message.

the anom_ly then, although BE and AL were not secured
and that ought to attract - that's the flare. I looked
around - the only place, of course, would have been 31
that I could see. I could not see anything on X-ray.
But every once in a while I thought I could, but it -
that was kind of funny. We haven't seen too much on
that. And I looked at XUV and ... yourself that active
region 31 was - was as hot or hotter than everything
else around there. However, after that, I - I moved
up to the unattended ops active region 31 and I
couldn't get very much on intensity data on - on 55
tweaking around the active region; as a matter of
fact, it looked pretty low. I've seen higher, and the
other day I was 1200 and here I can see only about 2 -
2 to 300 on peaking up with 55. So I assume what I
saw the PMEC was going through the anomaly, hut I

day 159. The time is 21:15, and I would like to give
you M487-3 Bravo, starting on page 3-6 of the Evalua-
tion Experiments Checklist. I would like to start out
by talking about the wardroom and using your guide-
lines. Overall I - I rate the wardroom very good.
The general arrangements, the orientation of the com-
partments are basically very good. What - Well, I'll
get to it. Basically, they are very good. The volume
of the compartment is adequate.

21 15 46 SPT Okay, back to MI71 for a minute. The percent 02 post-

run is 72.1B. It changes with time. The percent H20


is 5.64, dropping 5.57, 5.51, for instance. The per-
cent CO 2 is 1.97, 1.96, 1.97. That one's fairly stable.
Okay, it's yours, Pete.

21 16 18 CDR Okay, we're back with M487-3 Bravo. The volume of the
wardroom is adequate. Ceiling and floor proximity are
fine. There is no problem there. Ingress and egress
are all right, but it could be a little bit better.

eating, he has to either go over the top of the table
or slide around the floor to get by the CDR or the
SPT. And the trash collection provisions leave some-
thing to be desired. Now let me say that where the
trash bag ... are located, one guys has to ... quite
a ways to get to the trash bags, and - namely, the
CDR. If you put the trash bag behind him where there
is a location, then the other two guys can't reach it
at all. So, we could do a little bit better on trash
collection. And the other thing is the wet trash,
where we can ... wet trash in the can - the can holder
area, that tends to get a little dirty in there, and
we have to keep after it - cleaning it. And I'll have
some more comments about that in a minute. The stowage
volume and access is all right, except the tray that
holds the pudding doesn't really hold the pudding ade-
quately. The ... trays for the SPT and the PLT are
too close together, and they hang up in one another
all the time because the - the ... knobs that are
between the two sometimes stick out, either up or down,
._ between the trays, and hang in the lower or upper tray.
The food stowage is basically all pretty good, and it
could probably by spread out a little bit better with
respect to ...

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


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

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


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

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


partment I think basically is, again, very good. The
general arrangement and orientation of the compartment
are fairly good. The location of the compartment next
to the sleep compartment is not good because the blower
runs. You can hear in the sleep compartments and so
forth. So, it is Just the location. The volume is
fine. (Y_n) ... really doesn't bother us any.
Ingress/egress is okay. The trash collection is all
right, but yet the - A little improvement in trash
collection - I would think that especially the wet

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

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


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

is an afterthought with us. If the shower wasn't there,
I think it - everything would be Just fine. One other

point, the volt,he of the compartment is more than ade-


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

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


arrangement and orientation of the compartment are
fine .... made out of a tank, I'm sure ... better -

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

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


nothing but transportation. And it's right between
the lower part of the spacecraft and the upper part
of the MDA. And, therefore, I don't really need to
c_,ment on anything except - other than that. Now
for ... It turned out that we've done one EVA out
of there. The lock compartment is more than adequate -
adequately illu_ninated. Of course, we were suited,

and you really don't worry about the thermal comfort


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

21 27 08 CDR Okay. Let's ... the MDA and the STS. The general
arrangementand orientationof the compartment,I
think, could be a little bit better. Again, it 's
oriented around the cylinder, probably not the greatest
orientation in the whole world, but it really hasn't
led us into too many serious problems, ... fine ....
the compartment is certainly adequate. Ceiling/floor
proximity: it doesn't really apply in there. Ingress/
egress is fine, both to below through the airlock and
through the tunnel to the command module. No problem
there. You don't generate a lot of trash up there.
We have a few trash bags, hut we find that we really

have any personnel restraint devices. The ATM gear

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


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

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


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

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


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

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


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

21 36 h9 SPT Waste management compartment turns out to be a pretty


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

21 38 14 SPT The sleep compartment - arrangement and orientation


are - are okay. The volume of the compartment is
okaM, excep that a little more temporary stowage is
required. I'll get to that. Ceiling/floor proximity
is okay. Don't meke it any smaller. When I have M133
on, _ head tends to bump and scrape the ceiling with
that cap on when I'm in bed. Ingress/egress is okay.
It's a little bit cramped, however, for rapid egress,
in case we really needed to. Trash collection is fine.
Stowage volume is - not enough, in that most of the
lockers are taken up with permanent stowage of one
kind or another. And you really don't have any place
to _npty your pockets. I have rigged two trash bags -
taped them to the wall and ceiling near the bed, and
I use those for - as dresser dr_ers. Temporary
equipment restraints are okay. Personnel mobility,
not needed. Restraint devices, not needed; the com-
partment is so small. Thermal comfort is okay. Noise
level is too high when - When you're asleep and any-
one else is moving around at all, the noise and the

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


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

21 39 43 SPT Experiment compartment general arrangement and orien-


tation is okay, except that the - at the two corners
where things get _fully crowded between the shower,
the centrifuge, the tool kits, and our temporary
stowage for the vacuum cleaner. It's very crowded
in that corner. In the other corner, it's not quite
so bad, but M131 pretty well sweeps that area clear
and makes it useless for stowage of other gear. Aside
from that, we did well. Ceiling/floor is okay.
Ingress/egress is not applicable. Trash collection:
We don't collect trash in that compartment. Stowage
volume is all right. Temporary equipment restraints :
I have trouble finding places to put the checklist
still. What we need is a mini camera mount that
doesn't stick down in the compartment so far and which
could be placed in more different places. Personnel
mobility aids, not required. Restraint devices, not
required; the triangle does the trick. Thezmal com-
fort, okay. Noise level, okay. Illumination on the
low side.

21 hO h9 SPT Forward dc_ae panel arrangement and orientation is okay.


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

21 4i 5h SPT The airlock is a - a fine tunnel. And for a tunnel


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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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

SPT Yes - -

CDR - - all suckered back down.

SPT Right. . __

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


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

direction.
22 35 29 CDR 1 Well, we gave a couple of mighty heaves that way,
with not too much results. We could see the SAS
wiggle - I mean the SAS beam wing wiggle a few times,
but with not too much success. So, the SPT said,

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

ployed.

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


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

is attached to. And so much for that.

Good evening to you.

23 47 56 PLT Hello, B channel. This is the PLT with his comments


on M_87-3 Bravo. Evaluating compartments was first:
_- habitability parameters. Talk about the wardroom
first. General arrangement and orientation is - was
adequate, I guess. That is, it's adequate from an
arrangement standpoint. Stand by. It's adequate
from an arrangement standpoint. It's good for an
orientation, it's in a good place. It's centrally
located as kind of the living area down there. The
arrangement is too close - the eating table is too
close to the wall. Now it's handy to be close when
you're trying to reach into food drawers and such,
but the SPT can't ... his food drawers directly, any-
way. If you hang any trash bags on the wall, which
is a requirement, then they get in the way. Other
than that it's pretty good; it Just needs to be a
little bigger, and I guess that's the .... Which is
the next one? Now l've confused the two, let me
think about it. Oh, on arrangement. Then I guess
l'd say that the eating table is pushed too far to
the refrigerator and a replen down there. The ...
floor proximity is good. Ingress/egress positions
not special, except the large door, which is good.
As I mentioned previously in another comment to the
ground, the - the large doors - the one-g type doors
shape and size is - is good in zero g because you
don't move around head first you move around in an -
essentially in a vertical position. You Just push
off and you go scootingaround either vertical or
semi-sitting. Very good. Trash collection, I men-
tioned the trash bags previously. There are some wet,
dry trash in there, but they're only behind the PLT.
Consequently, he's the only guy that uses them. Other
people keep their own trash bags - disposal bags

snapped to the wail. Temporary equipment restraints,


there really are none. We made some out of spring
bungees. Well, there are some of Velcro. You never
have, Just generally speaking, there are never too
many snaps or too much Velcro. Personnel mobility
aids: there are none in there. Restraint devices
we've touched on before. The thigh restraints are
good. Yes, good I think. Good to adequate. The
triangle cutouts in the foot pedestal, I haven't
used, personally, I haven't felt a requirement for
them. The foot restraints, the lifts are made of
too stiff a material. They are unwieldy and conse-
quently, I haven't used them. The thermal comfort
is good, the noise level is good, the illumination -
when we ran power down was naturally - that's not
fair - was a little low but hidden on the dark side,
illumination is a little dim in there. Mainly, I
think, because when you're on the light side you're
used to the bright light coming in the wardroom win-
dow and then when you go on the dark side it seems all
the darker. The waste management compartment - it's
general arrangement and orientation I think is gen-
erally - is good. Let's make it, let's call it very
good. The volume is about right, the ceiling/floor
proximity is good. Ingress/egress - if the ... trash
collection is very good. So is volume and access.
Now the volume is very good, the access, - the only
complaint I have is that every morning when we have
to work on the air drawers is we have to get in that
same large, lower odd-shaped compartment for the
urine bags and the urine sample bags.

23 52 32 PLT It would be better to have a more regularly shaped


compartment than to have it higher, because you don't
have to work in any compartment in an upright - one-g
upright position. Temporary equipment restraints
again are ... so-so, and they are used, they are very
good, they are mobility aids. We have a couple of
handrails, they are not used as mobility aids, they
are used more as an aid for restraint devices. The
restraint devices; the foot trims we touched on them
before, and the same comment goes for these as goes
for the - the ones at the wardroom table. Thermal
comfort is very good, noise level very good, illumi-
nation, now we can get all three lights on in there
again, is very good. Sleep compartment general
arrangement and orientation. I guess I'm tulique when

compared to my two compatriots in that I was not able


to sleep well in the sleep compartment because, sur-
prisingly, I felt like I was sleeping on a wall.
Apparently, I have a personal mental problem, I guess,
but I've not slept in there since about the fourth
night. We moved in the workshop, I slept in the
forward workshop compartment. The volume is good,
the ceiling/floor proximity is also all right, the ...
are okay, trash bags are fine, stowage volume is very
good. Temporary equipment restraints those towel
holders are excellent. They are outstanding for that
type of use, you use it to hold your clothing on, and
it's excellent for that. Temporary equipment restraints
quite a bit of - well, a couple of strips of Velcro
would be adequate. Personnel mobility aids don't
apply as do restraint devices. Thermal comfort is
very good; noise level, very good, and illumination,
adequate. Experiment compartment.

23 5h 28 PLT General arrangement - it's a - let me think on this


a minute. Somebody would think we'd do better - s_ne-
one else would do better - evaluating, I think, when
you're not used to it. We've been training in this
thing for a year and a half, and some things you come
to accept. I guess I got no co_ents to make, no
suggestions, so I'd have to give that a very good,
then. The volmue is all right, ceiling/floor proximity
is very good. Ingress/egress doesn't really apply,
it's all right. Trash collection; you don't make
much trash in there, and we haven't really found a
necessity to - there are no trash collection provision
and I guess, we haven't found a necessity for any.
Stowage volume and access : the PSS drawers are kind
of out of the way, I'd have to give that an adequate.
They're out of the way, you have to go around the
bicycle every time you want to get into scmething.

23 55 38 PLT Temporary equipment restraints are okay. Personnel


mobility aids: there are none. Restraint devices

comfort, noise level, and illumination are all very

what you really - what we really should be trying to

it in general arrangement. It's all right. The

compartments of which you have to work is very good


that we put that film vault on the grid floor because
the work at the film vault - those drawers are heavy.
You pull those drawers in and out, they work hard,
they're difficult to move. All I'm doing is pointing
out the fact that you have to have some place to
stabilize your feet, and we usually have the triangu-
lar shoes, and that means we use the grid. Volume is
quite adequate. Ceiling/floor proximity doesn't
apply. Ingress/egress doesn't really apply. Trash
collection does not apply. Stowage volume and access:
we've had no problems in getting to the dome lockers
as I mentioned before. That blue ring around under
the water tank is quite handy for maintaining yourself,
the other one - you can always find something to grab
a hold of and hook a hand on for all the longer you
have to be in one of those F523. Temporary equipment
restraints: there again we've got snapped around
some Velcro and - we need all them. MY previous
comments apply to the - you never have too much Velcro
or too many snaps. Mobility aids are the handrails
and we haven't really used them, as we debriefed
earlier, as handrails. As mobility aids, we use them
more as restraint device. Restraint devices are very
good. Thermal comfort is very good, noise level is
very good, sA%d illumination is a little bit dim.

23 57 54 PLT And I'd give that adequate, but we could certainly


use some more light. The airlock is kind of a
nothing but a passageway. We haven't used that as
a working compartment except for EVA. So, generkl
arrangement orientation: it's all right. The volume
is good, the ceiling/floor proximity is ..., the
cylinder diameter is good. When you work in there
you can in fact press out, put your shoulders against
one side and your feet against the other side, and
stabilize yourself quite well. Ingress/egress
provisions - we discussed . .. and it doesn't apply,
trash doesn't apply, stowage volume doesn't apply.
Temporsa'/ equipment restraints : I haven't really had
the occasion to use them in there, the other two
people can give you a better handle on that after
yesterday's exercise. Mobility aids doesn't apply,
restraint devices doesn't apply. Thermal comfort

illumination is very good in there because they have
got 20 - I think 25-watt incandescent bulbs and the
walls are painted white, and that is the one place
where we have excellent illumination. Now, on the
MDA - STS. General aids and orientation: again it's
a cylinder and things have Just been stuck to the
walls.

23 59 17 PLT Orientation is all right, I've come to learn to accept


it during training. The general arrangement is kind
of helter-skelter and hodgepodge. I have no con-
structive comments to make. I appreciate all the
stuff was put in here kind of helter-skelter, hodge-
podge. It's not good, you come in here and things
are - you have trouble finding things in here. You
come in zero-gand I ... was comingin to the MDA
tend to orient on the ATM. The volume is good, more
than adequate. We've got plenty of room to move
around in here. Actually more than we need. This
wouldn't really have to be this big anymore. However,
we've not had as much problem working in here as I
thought. I thought it would be too large, and it's
not turned out to be such. You can work on something
in the middle of the volume, and still hook your
toes/feet/legs on something else. Ingress/egress
provisions are - where we've got this tlmnel at one
end and the airlock in the other, so they're all right.
Trash collection: we haven't really carried much
trash up here. Matter of fact, there are none. We
don't use any. What we do generate, we carry back
down to the experiments area with us. Personnel
mobility aids: there are none, as such, and we
probably haven't really need of any. Well, there are
a few handholds up here, but they're not mobility
aids - they're more stability aids, and again they fit
in with restraint devices.

00 00 58 PLT And we need them more for that. The thermal comfort:
it's been cold up here. That may be unique to our
situation, I'm not sure that it is anymore, it's
still cold. The noise level is satisfactory. It gets
high in here when you're running EREP. We've got

operation. The active region 31 which is - was
quite bright and prominent in H-alpha, also turned
out to be rather bright and prominent in XUV even
with the 4 XUV monitor that we have it's very
clear - you can pick out - it looks as if it's a
flare, and it's not. So this makes me think that
flare has ruined ... if you can ... in XUV.

night. I'll send you a report. The breakfast item
75, bread was - one of the two slices was eaten.
For lunch meal 65, corn was deleted and potato salad
was substituted. All I did was eat. All the snacks
were eaten, except item 62, coffee. Total Delta
water was plus 1.O, optional salt, zero. That's it.

what they were designed to be used for.

SPT That's right, we can't answer it.

SPT How adequate is the sleep restraint ... for sleeping?


Is it useful for anything other than sleeping? If
so what?

PLT ...

CDR ...

02 06 50 PLT I think it's been very good for sleeping, I like the
soft elastic restraints, and I wish there was one
more of them. The only other thing that I know of
that we've used it for, is when we ... one cover
over the LCG last night, to let it pick up more heat
on the wall.

SPT Yes. I like the restraint, it's excellent, it really


is.

02 07 16 CDR Yes, I do too, I like it better than sleeping in in


the Apollo bag. I find that I sleep with all four
positions that I normally sleep in on the ground.
I start out with what you'd call, on my back, and
I'll roll over to my right side, and sleep with my
right side to the back of the bag for awhile, and
F then roll all the way over on my stomach, until my
stomach's at the back of the bag, and then sleep on
my left side, which is exactly what I wanted to be
able to do. Plus, I can assmne a more comfortable

position in there, for relaxation, rather than the


one that you assume when you're in zero-g, you relax.
You can move your legs, or arch your back, or do
something with it, and - and it will stay there,
because of the straps, and I find that much more
comfortable, than free floating in the bag.

02 08 09 SPT What non-eating instruments have been ... to the


wardroom table? Would a design modification of the
table and its associated restraints be desirable for
any or all uses?

PLT As far as I know, the only other use we've found for
the wardroom table, we've not had the cover back on
the center part of the table, the water dispenser
at all. I have, on occasion put the cover on my
tray ... usually, we've taken to leaving the covers
/_ off. I have on occasion put the cover on my tray
and used it as a desk.

SPT ... serves as well for a desk as it does for a table.

02 08 h5 PLT Yes, I think if - if we're looking at the ideal


world, and we wanted a desk, you'd want a larger
flat area with things on it, with a light, a good
light. And things on it to hold a n_nber of papers
and pencils down while you're using it. You know,
you want your checklist there and your notebook
there and you'd want someplace so that - so you
wouldn't have to hold your hand on it all the time,
which is a problem I have when I'm writing notes,
or copying something at this wardroom table.

SPT Pete, you got any comments?

CDR Yes ...

SPT What sanitation problems have developed, and how have


you dealt with th_n? The only problems we've had,
has been the spattering of food in the wardroom and
we've dealt with them by assiduous and frequent
cleaning.

r PLT Right.

problem you have encountered?

end of his body. (Laughter)

02 i0 01 SPT I look at this kind of like - like camping out. I


mean if you went to a camp ... You got to keep the
place in good shape, you got to keep the deck swept,
the walls cleaned out, the windows clean. We do the
same thing here.

PLT The only thing is, I think, you don't - you don't
clean windows, and wipe down the walls, and vacuum
clean the ... really without ...

SPT The hardware's been adequate. The only thing that


I Just asked the ground for today - something to
clean the windows with.

PLT You tame pictures ... one window, and really it's hard
to keep it clean enough. You need some kind of solvent
to cut the grease off the windows.

CDR ...

SPT I agree. I think we need better detergents all


around. We've got water, and we've got biocide to
wipe down with. They design what we holler for.
We need the water ...

CDR I think we should have, in the wardroom ... solid


ceiling and pay a little bit more attention to
making all the walls smoother, because I don't think
f in zero-g, no matter how we designthe food, we're
going to prevent splattering.

too, we sort of came to a common adjustment. I
don't use the chair, and I don't believe anybody
else does.

PLT No ...

02 12 i0 CDR If we were to do it again, I think we would know


better how to angle the ATM panel at the chair, and
I think I'd really make the chair more comfortable,
I think. And have a cushioned form fit ... sort of
thing and if you're cocked at the right direction,
... panel at the right direction, then you wouldn't
strain as you sat in the chair to operate. I
personally feel a heck a lot better than up ...

PLT The toes are unbraiding. They're wearing out


because you use your toes a lot. You drag your
toes over the ... to slow you down and - It's like
a brake on a wagon. You drag your right foot if
you want to swerve to the right a little bit.

02 14 O1 CDR Not only that, but it is a pain in the neck, to me,


taking these triangle shoes off and on with all the

the pressure. Now we don't get it and we haven't
gotten it since it wouldn't - we got no FLOW that
dsy when we were trying an EVA and the crewmen had
no FLOW and we've never gotten a warning light since
then.

CC According to what we s_ in the flow there, it looked


like you may have tried both pumps. Is that correct?

CDR Yes. I tried PRIMARY and we got no warning light,


and then I went to SECONDARY and got no warning
light.

CC Indications down here did show FLOW although I 'm


not so sure they got up to full spec value.

CDR Well, here we'll go turn one of them on right now


and you look at it for a minute. We'll let it run

SUS-2 for a second and then turn it back on again?

CC Hold up on that. I guess we want to leave SUS-2


alone since it's running okay.

CDR All right. Hey, I Just - I don't understand. If


SUS-1 is FLOW, why we didn't get the momentary
trip on the FLOW sensor on the EV-1 caution and

13 05 52 PLT Hello, tape recorder, l'm a little bit late with


the first 20-minute report; it's been an hour. But,
another requirement, and Charlie 7 presently reads
36, 3 6 degrees. That's all for now.

13 ll 02 PLT Hello, tape recorder; for the EREP people on the


VTS. I put the new magazine on the DAC this
morning. On camera checkout, I'd let it advance
for l0 seconds, turn the camera OFF, at which time
we'd get in that old thing of the camera continuing
to run. Not take pictures, Just the motor - the
motor in the c-m_ra continued to run. It did this
three times. What I did then was take the magazine
off, put it back on, and now it works normally. It
- it'll take up one or two frames after you finish
taking it, and then it functions normally Just like
the other one did. End of message.

13 21 15 CDR Hello, tape recorder. On the S191, meter reading


Charlie 7 is reading 38 percent at 13:21 Zulu.

13 24 56 PLT Hello, tape recorder. Friendly tape recorder, pass


this on to the friendly EREP people, if you would,
please. This double clipboard that we use on the
VTS is unsatisfactory when trying to use the whole
Flight Book. Now maybe using the whole Flight Book
on it is unsatisfactory. I - I think I'll try
working on something, but while we are up here, you
guys ought to be working on something on the ground,
too. Because what you do, is - you got to pull the
whole book loose from - from the clip and then flip
pages and then get it hooked back under. And that
big, thick book is hard to hook under those little
clipheads, since the clips are made to take a large
book, they are quite stiff. All in all, it's - it's
not a very good arrangement. So work on something
and we'll work on something up here. End of message.

SPT B channel, this is the SPT at 13:25 with today's


solar observations. More for practice than anything
else cause you guys can see H-Alpha on the ground.
Active region 31 appears to have a good arced fila-
ment system inbetween it's two Sun spots. Al, d it's
by far the brightest plages now visible on the Sun.
The white light display on the XUV SLIT clearly
shows the large leader spot and the smaller follower
spot. It looked on H-Alpha as thought the follower

spot where multiple, but the white light display


does not show that to be the case. End of message.

13 29 50 SPT Also, on H-Alpha, the active region 32 now appears


to have another active region behind it. It's
coming over the east limb at about 255. Small,
hard to see, but it's new and it's probably the third
brightest thing on the Sun. The white light corona-
graph has changed gradually, but quite a bit, since
we started looking at it. It's simplified and now
is very faint, very flat except for a - a rather
large simple streamer in the northeast quadrant
where active region 31 is and another streamer,
smaller but Just as bright, in the southwest where
active region 18 has gone over the limb. And that's
it. There isn't another thing on the coronagraph.

18 h9 29 SPT B channel, this is the SPT with remarks for the medical
people on IMSS-I. It has been completed; it took
about 1 hours. Sample number 6 was the only one in
which a stick did break. I looked at them, but I
missed the scribed marking on that one because the
lighting is abominable in some parts of the workshop.
Then I had to cut it with my trusty Swiss Army knife,
so you may have some Swiss Army knife germs in that
bottle. The other ones went well. For sample num-
ber 15, I substituted - the rear left food disposal
well in the wardroom for the LBNP. That's been a
pretty dirty place, so I thought I'd like to get a
sample of that. Oh, yes, and for sample number 9,
I substituted the interior of the Mlyl metabolic
analyzer hose. And that's the end of the message
except that the vials are extremely crowded in those
cans. It's very difficult to put back as many as
you took out especially when the Velcro falls off the .4
bottles, which it did in a couple of cases. End of
message.

There is one still missing out of there. However,
there is one rip tether on my suit, and I'm going to
see if I can't locate the other. And there is a rip
tether on the SPT's suit. So before we leave, we will
take one of those, after our next EVA, and put it back
in 422. So you'll have a full complement rip tethers
in 422. Right now, you have two of them back, out of
thethree.

21 56 O0 SPT B channel, on the M131 0GI on the PLT. First of all,


the nitrogen pressure is 1200 psi. Secondly, on the
acceleration level lO, the PLT did pass that test.
He got six right: three in left, three in - or rather
three in accel, three in decel. I got an INCREASE
light on the - display panel indicating I may not have
correctly entered one of the results. So I thought
I'd pass that on. At level 18, he was giving me the
answers by the seat of his pants before I got a chance
to tap his head.

0GI run. The answer to question 1 is yes. During
step 18, I had a definite sense of rotation. I could
sense it without looking - without seeing the illu-
sion. Answer to number 2 is yes. During step 4, I
think that the thing tended to move up. Step 3, it's
very difficult to keep awake during this run, for
some reason. And I found myself dozing off, for what
that's worth. That's the end of my answers.

02 58 33 CDR Hello, friendly tape recorder. The old CDR at 02:58


with the evening questions. Okay. Question number l:
_ Describe color of parasol as observed during EVA. It
is the eoncensus of opinion of both the CDR and the
SPT, who viewed it, that it is essentially the same
color as it was when it was deployed, except it looks
a little faded and perhaps not as lustrous, a little
flat. But the color is essentially the same. Ques-
tion n_ber 2: You have gotten a little confused with
a statement that was made by us earlier, and I'll try
and straighten it out. Have you cleaned your hygiene
kits? Should we resupply smy items for SL-3 and 4?
Just hold 1 second.

03 00 12 CDR To go back to question number 2, friendly tape re-


corder. Have you cleaned your hygiene kits? Should
we resupply any items for SL-3 and 4? In locker $935,
the lower locker in the Commander's bedroom, is the
six kits for SL-B and 4 and the resupply kit. Now,
that resupply kit, all the Alpha Keri hand lotion
tubes ruptured from the heat, and so did the Alpha
Keri in the SL-3 and 4 crew kits, also. Along with
that, the heat was intense enough that it - whatever
liquid was in the antiperspirant was cooked out of
it. And also the shaving cream is kind of hard. So
the answer to your question is, I think you should
start from zero with anything that was cream or
liquid that was in the hygiene kits that were stowed
at $935, because they pretty well got wiped out by
heat.

In the course of the conversation one evening, when
doing an Mh87, in discussing the merits of the ward-

were not very well organized for each man to handily
put little bits and pieces of trash in a trash locker
without leaving his plaae of eating, while preparing
•.. and generally working at his spot in the wardroom.
Therefore, we came up with a quick fix. And the fix
is as follows: We have swapped some locker doors - -

last word on our changes with respect to lockers,
please ask me to give my dissertation again tomorrow
night when you send up the evening questions. Other-
wise, it will be a mystery to you forever - what we
have, in fact, done to the lockers. Good night.

02 19 08 CDR Channel, if you are not interested in what we have


done, and it becomes a mystery, the question is:
Which mystery will be greater: What we have done to
the lockers? Or where does the PLT sleep?

02 33 06 PLT Hello, B channel. This is the PLT with a debriefing


of the last ATM run of the day. After the scheduled
operations were finished, I went front and center
and performed a building block 16. I used a roll of
plus 10,700, which, for all practical purposes ...
as we view it, this puts our coronal event of interest
down at about 4 O'clock, but it also kept the filament
streamer in fairly good field of view up between lO
and ll; that is why I put it down there. Now, we had
some probl_m_ with S056 on the first performance on
building block 16. I don't know how many times it
flipped through, but it did hang up on filter 3. I
terminated that, started the next, and action was
normal. I watched it do about four time through
that; and then, while I wasn't watching, it apparently
hung up in filter 1. Now, I Just terminated that,
and started a patrol normal. It's - We'll keep you
posted on that.

02 34 19 PLT In the white light coronagraph on board, this - that -


The region given is 290 - is - as I mentioned before,
a fairly well-defined, pretty narrow streamer that
extends off on the field of view. So I don't really
know- And it's fairly strong, but goes off the field
of view of the monitor here. However, but I could
observe no event, no transients at all in the corona
observing it for - let's say, on the order of a minute.
That's the end of the message.

02 36 19 PLT Hello, B channel. For ATM people. I put about 30


seconds worth of white light coronagraph on the tape

13 25 25 PLT Hello, B channel. Pass the ... of this motley bunch


that we have noticed a tendency on all three urine
drawers that when you change out the urine bag in the
morning, almost invariably the urine receiver hose
will come out of it's holder in the back end of the
drawer and hook around behind it. So that when you go
to use it the first time after that, it hooks behind
it, and you have to open the drawer and restow it -
It's Just - will work for them that has to - after
you install the bag you have to check to make sure
the hose is back in it's little retainer holder in
the back there. That's all.

13 37 39 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 13:37 reporting


on housekeeping 28 Lima. For the stowage people, a
const_nables inventory of urine disposal bags: in
compartment Echo-622, about one quarter of them are
gone. In H-835, about one qUarter of them are gone.
In S-925, that - that locker is full. Current rate
of consumption is about one per day. We may have
used a couple extras there, but I don't know why.
Disposal bags: in wardroom 705, slightly more than
half of those are gone. Wardroom 710 and wardroom 711
are intact and_rill remain so; and rate of disposal
bags has been higher than it should; it's been a good
one per day. However, we've recently installed trash
lockers in convenient locations around the wardroom
for each crewman. We expect to increase the consump-
tion of trash bags to probably 6 to 8 per week and
reduce the disposal bag usage hopefully to one every
2 days. Of trash bags, all the lockers listed are
full - That is, listed on page 5-1 in the stowage
book - all are full except for wardroom 753, which is
about one quarter used. We have 3/h of that locker
remaining. End of message.

13 48 56 SPT B channel on the housekeeping 7 Delta: ATM C&D water


reservoir is essentially full; the bladder is bunched

rest of the tank is filled with water. And both of

turn the cooler on, it takes about h minutes for it
to come off scale high. And then it starts at a
hundred percent, and it races right on down to 30.
And for your information we do not get the S191 READY

16 ii 46 SPT Okay, friendly B ch-nnel, the SPT with the 16:00 ATM
debriefing. I tried to show you some white light
coronagraph, as well as H-alpha on the VTR show.
The outstanding figure on the coronagraph is an
extremely bright, extremely skinny coronal streamer
that exits from about the area where the surge is
observed, and goes clear out the edge of our scope,
,,nlike any other streamer that I think I've observed
while we've been up here. Something - there's no
active region that I can see in H-alpha, in that
area. And the prominence is squat, mushroom-shaped,
and a little hard to observe. We do see some material
- heading off from the pr_,_nence, not directly
radially, but northward. And when I say heading off,
I don't know whether it's moving or in which direction,
but it - it's sitting out there separated from the' _
prominence. Active region 31 is still the bright-
est thing on the disk. End of message.

16 40 22 SPT This is for A_. More random - one more random


observation, which is probably either fake or nothing
new, but I'm trying to write down, so I can tell you
everything I see. When you're looking at H-alpha ...
H-alpha 2, you notice a n_ber of large light areas.
And they usually seem to be in advance of the protec-
tive ... And then if you turn the contrast high and
the brightness down low, the whole Sun becomes a
pattern of either bright or dark. With the bright -
(music) the bright area seems broad_ connected to-
gether, and always near the active regions, imbedded
in them. I don't know if this is of any significance
at all, but maybe you didn't see it on the photography,
any maybe you'd know it about it all along.

20 40 08 CDR Hello, friendly B channel; the ATM pass. Let me


ma_e a suggestion on these network 12 building blocks.
In order to really find a network cell again, as I
said, I was in a kind of a poor area, and to get back
to it, it would he a good idea if you picked a time
to assign those JOPs when a star was available at the
beginning of the day or through the night period in
the beginning of the day, in order to assure that
you could get hack to the same roll. _ow my star
has not been available until 42 into the period and
I updated about 70 or so arc seconds. And that's a
reasonable amount. And ... I think we could get a
little bit more than that. So, it - it really doesn't
go too well. It really does wander a little in roll
without that star tracker on. So I suggest that, if
possible, on these tropospheric network things, you
get good pointing - or on any of the ones that require
repointing on the next day's pass - that you don't
assigjl those unless you've got a star available, so
that you always update it in roll when you come over
into snn]ight, if you can.

We're doing TV-9 right now. On the bicycle, you're
unloaded from gravity, and everyone rides right up

lights out of the field of view, you can't keep the
guy's head in it. So, that's Just the way it is; you

22 _i 38 SPT B channel, SPT with a ... comment and confession. The


head on my windup razor became so painful to use, due
to nicking of the - of the head - I don't know how it
was caused - that I went into the resupply kit and took
the head off the razor in there. There's nothing wrong
with the windup part of the razor, but the head needs
to be resupplied. On the same subject, I have dis-
covered that I can't get more than one good shave
out of a blade. I have the Wilkinson kind, but when
I normally can get I0 or 15, 20 shaves on the ground,
I can only get one; the second one is quite painful.
I think it's because you can't clean the blade prop-
erly; the stuff dries in there. So I would suggest
to those on the longer missions who favor blade
razors, that you allow them to resupply one blade for
every time they plan to shave. End of message.

22 h2 _7 PLT Hello, B channel, here's a little hot skinny for you


on S052 white light coronagraph. We went into white
_-- light coronagraph Malfunction Procedure 3-Alfa.
Block I gave us something of a start, because it
starts off by saying, "After first exposure has
been completed," and we have never gotten any
indication of a first exposure being completed.
However, we went to the fourth block to the right,
which sent us to block 9. The answer to that was
yes, so it sent us to block lO, which sent us to
block ll, and there we sit. Thank you.

PLT ...

21 20 14 SFT Okay. If you - if you watch this gage, it keeps


coming up; I think that was mentioned yesterday.
I'm getting a reading on the fly after about a min-
ute and a half. 73.5. Percent H20 is 5.02. Percent
CO 2 is 1.94.

21 37 4h SPT Friendly tape recorder, this is day 161. Subject PLT,


experiment M131-2, the stationary litter chair. And
the starting time is 21:h0.

22 07 lh PLT Hello, tape recorder, this is the PLT debriefing the


M131-2 run. The answer to question 1 is - it is most
difficult without the gravity vector. I get confused
because the - Well, the angle is fairly small. It is
almost Imnoticeahle in zero-g. N_ber 2, the answer
is no. Ntnnber 3, the answer is no; 4 is no; 5 is yes.
No additional comments or observations.

22 34 43 CDH Hello, B channel, this is the CDR, building block 7,


active region 37. The ACTIVE l, LONG S056 is hung up.
This time it ... in position 5 on it's second step
through. So I'm going to go ahead and stop it. I
got a HEADY light; we'll go back and do the control
shortly as it calls for. Also, be advised that S052,
the white light coronagraph, I could not get started
in building block 6. I had a - I had a READY light;
I would hit the START button; I would get no OPERATE
light, no frame countdown. I tried that twice, going
back to STOP and getting a READY light, started it,
first you get a frame countdown, I called up the DAS
CO_U_ND to start it. That would put out the READY
light, but not bring on the OPERATE or the frame
counter would not count down, and I am now going to
finish this off and troubleshoot with the malf
procedures.

22 39 36 CDR Okay, B channel, I went back to Sun center, fired up


the S052, got a READY light, hit the START, and the
OPERATE light came on immediately. Then, at about
5 seconds, it went out and the frame counter is not

counting.

13 51 55 SPT B channel, SPT at 13:52 with an anomaly report on the


ATM. And this is not the first occurrence. The
CDR was doing JOP 6 and rolling the canister at HIGH
EATE times one, when suddenly he got a glitch of the
fine Sun sensor, which threw the canister-pointing
about 1/2 a solar radius out from Sun center. His
UP there was reading h60 something. It was a one
shot, and it stopped. And he points out that the
MANUAL POINTING CONTROL switch was in INHIBIT position.
He continued his roll, then manually pointed back
to Sun center. The wedges zeroed, and we're pressing
on from there. This is the - similar to the thing
that happened to the SPT very early on in the mission.
When I was operating in the LIMB [?], and it hurled
the pointing far enough off to reverse the FSS, and
we though we had a bad primary FSS for a long time.
Like you to look into it. End of message.

13 59 Oh SPT Channel B, for the stowage people. We have restowed


two utility cables from W751 and one utility cable -
from I'm not sure where - that was rigged to the
portable fan. And we have put all three of them
in locker Dame 440, along with the one that was there.
So Captain Bean will find four utility cables in
Dhh0, if he needs them. End of message.

13 59 36 SPT Okay. The portable fans themselves are temporarily


stowed as follows: One is near the fan package on
duet 2, Just under the T013 structure. The other
is near the fan package on duct 1. Both in the

21 31 55 SPT Tape recorder, this is the SPT on the PLT's M092.


I terminated his run after 3 minutes and 45 seconds
at 50 millimeters of mercury, because his pulse
pressure had dropped to 9 millimeters on the last
blood pressure. His heart rate was a little bit
_-_ higher than I'd seen it before, and I felt that he
could finish the run but - but that we were pushing
it. Like - like myself, I recomend that we run his
subsequent runs at 30, 40, 40. End of message.

21 38 21 SPT Tape recorder, we're going into M171 on the PLT, and
the N2, 02, CO 2 bottle pressure is 1590.

21 h3 25 SFT And, tape recorder; the CAL N2, H20 bottle pressure
is lhg0.

21 h5 38 SPT Okay, tape recorder. The gas - MS SAMPLE INLET GAS


pressure is 4.952.

21 h6 19 SPT And the percentage 02 is 76.13. Percent water is


3.08. Percent C02 is 1.91.

21 h7 09 SPT Okay. The MS SAMPLE INLET GAS press now is h.972.

21 h9 49 SPT And, tape recorder; the reason we're a little bit


delayed getting MITI started is that the PLT had a
half twist in his tongue - that was the tongue of his
left shoe.

21 5h 03 SPT Tape recorder, your SPT made a wrong move there and
got back into CAL 02, N2, C02. So I purged on giving
you new cabin air percentages. Oxygen is 75.97. Water

to your question about the locker doors. We swapped
locker door T_ - no, 775 for locker door 750 to give
the CDR a place to put trash. And we swapped
locker 621 doer with locker 702 to give SPT a
place to put his trash. And we have kept the
functions of each one of those lockers the same.
The trash locker is a trash locker, and the 702 locker
which is now located out in the 600 group right next
to the shower, has shower supplies in it. And the
775 locker, we stow empty cans in like we did before
when it was in the other place. So everything's
the same except the location.

CDR Take some suitable pictures of it for the Pls. And,


speaking of that, the seven-rod extension went very
easy. You'd be interested in noting that the wire
buckle had memory in it going out, so I got about
half the rods out and then it had memory waxlting to

15 17 59 SPT Friendly B channel, the SPT is 15:15 [sic], debriefing


the ATM pass. The ground reported a - a surge on the
limb at 0101.0. Up here, I can't find any evidence of
activity in that particular part of the Sun. (Music)
The only prominence we see on the west llmb is at
about 050. Low is about minus 7800 with the prominence
on the bottom of the screen. Both that prominence and the
east limb prominence is around 3 and up above to 310
and 320. They've visible in H-Alpha 2 zoomed out.
They're bright enough to be seen, even with a lot of
disk in the picture, which is interesting and good for
training. That was with the brightness turned all
the way up and contrast pretty far down. Just at
sunset, I went back and looked at active region 37,
and the shape of the plage had changed somewhat and there
was a definity brightening in the center of the
easternmost proJ - plage due to falling spots. I men-
tion this only to verify that you can see definite
changes in the form and brightness of these active
regions in less that one sunside pass if - if they're
active. That's it.

15 19 17 SPT (Music) No, that's not it. One more general debriefing.
You know, every time we enter the South Atlantic
anomR1y, or a horn thereof, the PMT goes up and rings
the bell and we get excited. I think it's - and the
- the reason we do is because we've never seen any level
approaching 550 or 600 other than apparently during

these passes, and it really makes us wonder whether


the - our ability to discern X-ray activity on the
Sun has been overrated and whether we really have
a tool there for - for detecting an X-ray flare.
One of the biggest problems we have in present and
in prospective deciding whether an increase in PMT
count is due to local or solar radiation. That's
all.

15 25 32 PLT Hello, B channel. This is - I think I already


reported this ; but Just in case, pass to the stowage

22 27 16 CDR Hi there, friendly B channel. On M551-I, specimen i,


I made two mistakes. One of them was I didn't
defocus the 2.5 when burning the cross and the
other one was on that same Joint that holds the
film on for 5 seconds afterwards. I rectified
both of those on MO - specimen number 2. That's
been completely corrected. Both problems look
very good, and we'll be going on to 3 here shortly.

the cycle there. Goofed up the warmup time on the
altimeter, too. So I missed that one part in there.
Also caused the SCAT TRANSMITTER light.

15 17 50 PLT Hello, friendly B channel. This is the PLT with a


short note for the configuration and the photo people.
The Teflon inserts that go in drawer B, drawer Bravo,
to hold the cassettes are continually coming out by
moving toward the aft end of the drawer. This was
hopefully alleviated today by putting a strip of gray
tape along the underside of the drawer such that the
inserts cannot move aft. That's all,

15 18 41 PLT B channel, this is for the photo people. It is an


early photo status report, which I - I'm giving them
now, because we had two Jams, and we're a little bit
out of configuration. Was directed to use transport
03 for S190B prep/MlSl. That transporter Jammed and
I probably didn't get the ETC prep. That's the one
I notice_ when I was done and had the same reading
as when I started. And it was out of business. So
that the reading on that is - the supply was Charlie
India 25. Percent remaining on the supply was 67.
The takeup was M_ll, and Mrll is stowed with what-
_ ever film managed to get onto it. Okay, then I
reloaded supply Charlie India 25 on another transporter,
and I got a new takeup reel, MT05, out of stowage.
And I shot up Charlie India 25 during the EREP pass.
So that the next line in the status report will read
Charlie India 25, 00, Mr05, and that is now stowed
in the B locker. The other transport that Jammed
was transport 05, which we were directed to shoot
up and which I shot up over the Western U. S., but
which was Jammed, and don't know whether ] got any-
thing on that. That line reads Charlie India 08,
00, Charlie India 07. Both those jams hav_ been
cleared, and the film drawer is now in essentially
the configuration called for in this morrliu_'s pad.
End of message.

15 21 12 PLT Incidentally, on that photo message, the only deviation


from - from the proper configuration is that we've
already shot up transporter 06 and it is in slot A3,
but it's empty. End of message.

15 26 27 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 15:30 with the


answer to a question on Ml31-1. I was asked whether
the readings on the PLT indicating "none" in his last
run were for real or not, or whether I'd perhaps
m_de a m4sta/_e in entering them. They were for real.
(Sneeze) A readingof none means that he held
Final

16 06 4h PLT Hello, B channel. The rotating litter chair today


has a good nitrogen pressure of i175.

16 06 58 PLT That goes to the MI31 people, M131. And here he is,
fresh out of the rotating litter chair after a hard
bout with 0GI. The SPT, Joe Kerwin. Here's Joey!

16 07 18 SPT Yes, fans, after a most exhilarating experience


going around and around, I'd like to answer the
debriefing questions. Did I have a sense of rotating
during this test? 0nly at 18. Did the line target
ever move in a direction. Yes ; remember the old
left/right 1-second to 2-second cycling? It was
not present in step i. I noticed it in step 4, and
it influenced the responses through step i0; and,
at step 18, I didn't notice it. Additional co_mnents
and observations: Even in step 18, I felt that the -
the 0GI responses were not marked, that they were
being reinforced by seat-of-the-pants, which is
pretty definite in step 18. And my general feeling
is that the 0GI response is not as clean-cut as it
is on the ground. End of message.

16 08 ii SPT And with the MS coming up, all I have to say, Dutch
Graybiel, is - and Dr. Miller, "Nos morituri te
salut sinus."

16 29 43 SPT Friendly tape recorder, this is your SPT, amazingly


still alive and well after the MS run at 20 rpm.
For the M131 PIs, I can only say, "Amazing, at
20 rpm again there were no symptoms." There was a
great sense of speed and a large amount of vertigo
on - m_Wing the movement - in other words - annoying
sense of eoriolis. But no symptoms whatsoever of
motion sickness. Off the top of my head, there are
two hypotheses for this that I can think of. One
is that the otolith input is what creates the
symptoms of motion sickness in one g, and it's absent
up here. The other is that the blood circulating
level of sympathomimetic and/or parasympatholytic
hormones is much higher up here than it is on the
ground and is suppressing those. That I considered
less likely, and we'll have to await the results of
the blood and urine studies that we're doing.

18 40 29 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is the PLT with the de-
briefing from the M131 runs. On OGI first. Question
number l; Sense of rotating? Yes; during the level 18
accelerations, I did have a visceral feel for acceler-
ation. Number 2: Did the align target ever move in a
direction other than expected? At level 4, with this
left/right Jitter and also at middle level 4 toward
the end - about the last four sequences, I guess, the
arrow once again appeared to be moving vertically up-
ward. No additional comments.

18 41 13 PLT On the MS portion of the PLT's 131 run, I'm now about
5 minutes postrun. The only symptom we came up with
was one - what? Gastric - epigastric awareness?

SPT ... epigastric awareness ...

PLT A foggy temp for a general body warmth and an epi-


gastric awareness. I have this general suggestive
feeling that I don't want to smoke around real bad.
However, it definitely is not malaise, too. So I
don't know what to say about it. It's the considered
opinion of the SPT and I - we got one more run at
this - We think we probably each ought to run at
30 rpm and see what we get on that. That's it.

readings for you. At the end of today's operation,
H-Alpha is 8930; S056, 3080; 82A, 123. How about
that? 82B, 435; 52 is 3975; and good old 54 is
1844.

01 32 42 CDH Hello, friendly B channel. In answer to the evening


questions, general message 2019 Bravo, M553 operations.
The three possibilities for the E-beam gun cut off at
... & are, one: High ... chamber pressure would
cause the other current circuit to cut off regard-
less of ...; 0.1 to 1.0 should be permissible and we
had O.01 and we were way within limits. Two: The
beam could have prematurely cut the sample forming
state, which removed the power from the 3-beam gun.
I determined that later not to be the case. It did,
in fact, cut off prematurely from its other original
problem that ithad been doing - cutting off early
and the 5 kVA sticking off. And I finally got that
ball to go. And ... three, ... the printed circuit
on the back of a real not working contact. That's
not correct. I've got about five of them to go, but
they don't go like they're advertised. The state
withdraws, the gun shuts off, and the ball stays
right where it is.

SPT ... this thing going open?

CDR And being requested that you verify that you were
operating with the work chamber and bulkhead vent
valves OPEN, and not in the VENT position. And that
is, in fact, correct. The bulkhead and work cbsmher
valves were both OPEN, not in VENT. I left them in
VENT last night, but when I came up to work them this
morning, I put them back in VENT - I mean put them
back in full OPEN - full OPEN.

crew. (>wen, I looked and I looked a couple of three
times that - trying to get more detail out of the
coronagraph by rolling, and it may be something you
can see down there but I can't see it up here. On
the business of when the H-Alpha display begins to
move at sunset, I think we may have faked ourselves
out here by letting our Beta angle get too high.
What - what happens now is the display doesn't begin
to move until the instant that day ends and night
begins as far as the computer is concerned, at which
time it takes off and I think what we are seeing is
the beginning of the dump maneuver and not the atmos-
phere. I think that previous to this, when the at-
mosphere took over before the dump maneuver started,
we did have some distortion, but I can't give you the
exact numbers now. Signed. End of message.

specifically, M071 people. Apparently, the maximum
volume that our present urine measuring system will
handle is 3800. I measured my bags this morning and
they came out to 3800. But I had quite a difficult
time getting the volume measuring plate into the bag,
where you bring that last flap up over top. I think
Just squeezing it into the bag is - in itself, will
give you no more than a 3800 measurement. I have a
feeling that there's something more - indeterminate
quantity more than that, in that bag. If you wanted
a number, I'd guess right at hO00. End of the message.

13 49 37 SPT Dear friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 13:50,


debriefing an ATM pass. One significant comment on
procedures: Although you friendly PIs did put at
the top of this pass to INHIBIT the TONE light,
you did not put where the South Atlantic anomaly
pass was. Neither was it on the Flight Plan detail
pad. And when the PMT count suddenly hit the roof,
your SPT, who is spring-loaded for a flare, went
into a frantic search around the Sun, trying to lo-
cate same. In between times, looking at his differ-
ent pads to find out whether he was in the South
Atlantic anomaly. And unfortunately, I was unable
to confirm the flare either on H-Alpha, X-ray, or
XUV, for sure. If I had, I would have burned up a
bunch of film, because no where in my pass did it
say I was in the South Atlantic anomaly. And we
f finally determinedthat it was from the geography
of it. And I'd like to ask, could you please put
on the pad the times of the South Atlantic anomaly
even when it occurs in the middle of the daylight
pass. That's all; I don't have much to say. Inci-
dentally, you will find some of the search documented
on the VTR, because I was Just getting ready to take
pictures of the white light coronagraph for the people.
I didn't get any XUV MDN on the VTR this morning for

PLT Yes. It's a good maneuver. Okay, EREP people, at 28:13


we ought to look at the DAC film when we get it

that when you zoom out, the image that was formerly
in the center of the crosshairs and the reticle moved
down and to the left. Here we go. See, there it goes
down into the left. And now, if I _ecenter it, I
still read zero, but it is about 0.9, and I read 6.
And I guess that's about 6-1/2 to 6-3/4. I want you
to pass that on the _EP training people s and to the

16 30 58 SPT For the food people. The chili has been the most
troublesome dish in the whole menu from the standpoint
of mess. When the chili is heated, it pressurizes
and apparently vaporizes under the surface. But its
texture never changes until you open the cellophane
top, at which time it explodes and great cubettes and
gobbets of chili go flying a_] over and it's bad
news (music). It's so bad that we've decidedthat
the next and last time we have chili on the menu,
which is on day 28, and we've already cleaned up and
are in the process of deactivating, we can't afford
that kind of nonsense. So we're going to substitute
filets from the frozen overage, for the chili and you
can make your menu calculations accordingly. End of

did the day 25 transfer today. And I would like
to note that A-2 is stowed behind the film vault,
as advertised. However, I'm not sure everybody's
aware. And in A-2 is sc_e food, concentrated food,
and the large A-2 stowage bag is also in there. In
Dh00 is locker A-1 and A-3. A_l empty; A-3 packed
as advertised. And the cushion out of B-3 with the
75-millimeter lens and the photometer [sic]- light
meter. And I would like to ask - I took the
18 millimeter lens and the right-angle mirror out
of that cushion, put them together, and left them
in B-3. And I presume that is correct. And we will
use that with the DAC on the way back. That's all
I have for the stowage people.

22 00 25 SPT Hello, B channel. This is the SPT with a note for the
stowa6e people _ the water syst_m_ people. We
previously reported a decrease in flow from the waste
management compartment water heater. Just now, we
changed the water valve. The old water valve was
indeed badly clogged. The new water valve x-*-=
freely and well. And therefore, we have used the only
replac_ent water valve that's on the spacecraft. We
sf_on_ recol_emd that additional replacement valves
be brou6ht up _ the subsequent crew. And we are
saving the old water valve _n_ await your word as to
whether you want us to _P it home. End of message.
