229 01 13 21 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel

" -*: A debriefing the last ATM run for the ...
of guys there in the hack room. The
0019 pass this is. As you know, we had
to do a manual auto step, and it c_e
off pretty well. We thank you for re-
minding us that we could, use that manual
step in - device to set the mirror, and
we did that, and we thank you for
catching that for us. That's one we
never seem to use much back in training.
Turns out, the way we _rked it, that the
only thing we lost sc_e data on was your
last 82B exposure, which was supposed to
be 1024 seconds long. And I calculated
that we lost 564 seconds of it. How-
ever, it turns out wlth the kind of a
short time between the ESR and E_S _hAt
we've got now about _1 minutes that -
and we've been in the auto step mode we
would have lost 360 seconds, anyway. So
,/'_ it turns out that we lost 200 seconds manu-
ally, more than we would have lost auto-
matieally, and what's a couple of hun-
dred seconds among friends, right, Paul?
So the rest of it came off real good. 54
got water _mning t_ongh filter 3, and
they got all of the RAFTERS in at the ...
grating POSITION. P.2_. was _,4tted, and
it looks like we're ready to pickup at
01:52 on that rev. I turned off both of
the experiments thai were running at the
ESS time. And 56 _I all this time now,
so we got everything on 56. So, .II in
all, it looks like _e pretty much got the
data that was necessary. And with the
exception of a conpl_ hundred seconds on
that last frame, why - 82]} looks like
we're in good shape on that rev. And
see "you later.

229 0_ 49 45 PLT . Paul, one c_,,-ent. Arm fans, on the

last run. I forgot to mention I gave

started S0056 and S052. I noticed it
,m.ediately after I started your experi-
ments, and I turned them both off, re-
pointed, and started everything out
again. So I blew a couple of frames here
for you, byt we got some better d_ta by
going back to front and center. And I

PLT ... 509 now. The time is 14:15. One

question I've got is I don't know why 9
we got two experiment recorders on,
when we only got - uh - a selection
for one. It's On page 11-2. And -
perhaps when Houston comes up again
they'll tell us to turn out number 2.
In the meantime they're both in i, G.
And - uh - so we're off to - uh -
step 6 at this time on page 11-2.

229 15 Ii 45 SPT Okay. Debriefing the last ATM pass.

_ This goes to the ATM PIs. Finished
at 15 :i0: The re_uder of the net-
work studies at J0P 1B, steps 7 and 8
went as planned. I'd already done
steps 5 and 6 had a pretty good orbit.
And it was a good thing that I did,
because in H-alpha the network cell
was essentially _m_ dentifiable. I -
uh - had to - uh - point my coordinates.

_. 229 15 12 lh SPT Now one other interesting feature, at

the - uh - beginning of the first orbit,
I did take an H-alpha 1 photograph off
the Polaroid camera. And comparing
that with the view at sunrise on
H-alpha 1 - uh - the network cells -
the network structure was _imply not
visible. Many of the dark clumps had
either moved around or disappeared or
exchanged places with bright clumps.

229 15 12 38 SPT And - uh - uh - that's - uh - I think

at least parti_lly answers - uh -
the question of whether or not there's
a difference in the H-alpha view
between sunrise and sunset, or whether
or not it is really an evolution of the net-
work. And inasmuch as the pictures at
the two sunrises of the - The first pic-
ture in my view of the two sunrises were
distinctly different. Uh - I think that
it is an evolution of the network and
not Just simply a difference in viewing
between sunrise and sunset. Uh - fol-

it, but I did pick up a - building - or
shopping list item - 3 on those - uh -
uh - on that suhflsuSe. Rather interesting
two bright spots either side of a neu-
tral line. And then the - uh - towards
the end of the subflare there was a
hrigJ_tening along one side of the neu-

brighter two points. So - uh -

229 15 13 51 SPT I don't know whether 92 has anything

in prnm_se for us or not, hut at least
it was a - sort of interesting little sub-
flare. Uh _ following that I went over

little of this - this on TV in about 2
or B minutes.

PLT Oh, we got a lot of flyin' to do, Owen.

CDR Okay.

CDR ... you are supposed some of this with

the umbilical on, O.

SPT Yeah, I'll be out of here in about B minutes.

CDR You'd make it fast though, we're almost out

of gas.

SPT You have to do your main flying maneuver,

Al?

CDR Never make it.

229 16 39 35 PLT Okay, 0., when you come down, turn down the
VTR.

SPT 0kay, do you want it on now?

PLT No. When you come down and ready to

do your thing.

SPT Okay, A1. I'ii have to stop the test

for a moment before I come down.

CDR I don't know whether the tnnbilical's

caught or what.

PLT Okay. Now the umbilical's free. That

those maneuvers.

_ PLT It's ... sitting down - _t would ever -

it's the umbilical is doing it, A1.
Obviously.

PLT When you pitch up I'd have to roll more

umbilical out of theu'e in order to
satisfy the - uh -

CDR Why don't you do thi'_, Jack? Why don't

you put me up there by the banjo and
I'll try to make the translation
maneuver before we ran out of gas.

229 16 _0 55 PLT Okay. Keep drifting. Come over on

another minute and thatway I can get
down there before you run out of gas.

PLT Well, we're g0nna put another bottle in

anyway. We got three bottles, A1.

CDR Yeah, but - we Just supposed to use

three bottles of gas today?

PLT Yeah.

229 16 41 18 CDR That's good. We'll make it through our

base line here. When do we change the
bottle?

PLT When it gets down.

PLT Ahhh. Stop for a moment.

CDR Have this workshop at high pressure,

all right.

PLT Okay, I got you back up against the

banjo, here.

PLT Try to get you away from it a little bit?

CDR Okay.

PLT ... up there.

CDR How about Just puttiLg me in the center

of the workshop where you did before and
I'll do some limb motions, real quick.

2LT Okay, we're going to the limb

motion - -

CDH And we're about out of gas.

PLT - - mode.

229 16 _313 PLT Let's find a plane where the umbilical

likes it and you can do your limb motion.

PLT The only way to have a backpack is to have

a self-contained one with your ACS in it,
looks like to me. Want to have you

PLT Nah, Just - uh - rotate right back to

where you were.

CDR Okay, here comes _ right leg. I've

gotta go up, I'm floating down to the
bottom of the workshop.

PLT Move your right leg 90 degrees, three

times. 01, 2-

here's the data mark. l, 2, fires like
crazy, that's 3.

PLT Lots of firing when he moved his arms

in rate gyro.

CDR Okay.

PLT Okay, ...

CDR I gotta back up a little bit, so I'll

back up. We'd better park it, Jack,
we're awTul low on gas.

PLT Okay. I'll park you.

229 16 46 35 CDR Go back to direct.

PLT Go around this way.

229 16 46 40 CDR Okay, let me make a few observations for

the recorder. First of all, that umbilical
is - uh - bad news. It's obviousthat -
uh - even if it isn'.t touching anything,
it taunts you all the time. It takes
significant fuel to - uh - to correct.
Not only does take fuel but it makes
it difficult to fly because the thing
doesn't fly where you tell it to. You
give it a big right thrust and it doesn't
do anything and the next time you give
it one, it kinda overcenters or - or
the thing starts to mcve but then it goes
twice as fast. So you are continually
correcting the - uh - umbilical problem.
It doesn't fly consistantly. The same
command doesn't result in the same - uh -
uh - uh - result in the flying business.
But that wasn't true at - uh - at the
simulator. The simulator - uh - no
matter what you did, it flew in the same
way each time. The one thing I noticed,
too, was the fact that - uh - that - uh -
as - uh - as we - Luh - did maneuvers,
we'd gradually drift off in some direction,
Dump Tape 229-06
Page ii of 16

and it would interfere with doing it

with a - uh - nice clean maneuver for •
you, Lou or Ed.

229 16 47 58 CDR It Just - uh -it had never - do like

a nice yaw left, it just wouldn't. That's
why I wanted to try the translational
maneuver. Also, I felt like with the gas
we had left, there was no way I could
pull off a - uh - a - uh - baseline
maneuver, and that the ... to that idea
would be to try to translate down to
the workshop and just see what happens as
the umbilical moves across the workshop
as opposed to moving in circles, and pitches
and yaws. Uh - generally, I'd have to
say that the performance on the umbilical
was unsatisfactory. Jack attempted to
move it - follow me but I could feel when
he did it. There's no way to know what the
umbilical really has in mind, and so when
someone moves it on the end, it results
in torquesto you. It couldhave very
simply pulled me around all the maneuvers
and I wouldn't have had to fly a thing
simply by moving itself.

PLT Okay, I'm going to talk to you - change

this thing -

CDR Okay, go ahead.

PLT Would you like to keep debriefing or

change off?

CDR What?

229 16 _9 01 PLT Would you like to keep debriefing or

you want to change out?

CDR Let 's change out.

PLT Okay. Okay, CMG is caged, verify.

PLT Stand you on your back awhile. I think

you can do that, can't you?

PLT Sure your head doesn't crack anything.

SPT Is he through thrusting now?

CDR Yeah, I'm through thrusting for a little

while.

229 16 50 lO PLT Okay, A1, now I can get this out of here.
Open right cover, close valve. Could you
turn the recorder off for me for a while,
0.? Please. Voice recorder. Huh?

229 16 50 28 PLT Okay, closed•

229 17 03 45 PLT Okay, space fans. Here we are back

with our M-509 - uh - we - uh - changed
out the PSS to number 2 and A1 is flhing
it on the SOP now. Uh - we want to make
sure we - uh - correction, we're on PSS
number 3 - A1 wants to make sure we - uh -
have plenty of - uh - time for - uh -
plenty of gas for the SOP run. The tumbilical
has been disconnected, of course, of course,
and - uh - I want to get it out of the way.
That's what I'm going to do now. A1 has
been rotating to his left - uh - very
 Dump Tape 229-06
_-_ Page 13 of 16

slowly to - and freely controlled to -

uh - sta - donningstationand I'm •
gonna yank the umbilical up out of the
way so he doesn't fly into it. And
kind of stuff it in the airlock.

PLT Maybe I can short strap it over here,

it would be better, I guess.

229 17 04 56 PLT Okay, he's backing away from the donning

station, heading for the banjo. Got a
nice rotation going, moving upward in
the workshop. Umbilical is snapped up,
by the way. He's translating upward a
little bit now - uh - to the banjo, he's
facing the banjo's, his feet are coming
up above the water tanks now.

PLT Okay, A1 is - uh - translating over to the -

uh ... banjo, he's in the ...

229 17 07 05 PLT Okay, I'm going to _Jotograph him on the

f_ FMU. You have a nice stable position on
_4U-2. Data mark. Now he's translating
away from FMU-2. Heading now for - uh -
locker 404, he's rot:Zed to his right, he's
got his right roll _n. Translating nicely -
uh - now upright in the workshop - uh - in
the plane with the 6_me lockers. Now he's
giving it a yaw left, don't notice any
noticeable cross couj)lings. The - uh -
maneuvering unit is joing very smoothly
at this point, much better than it did
with the umbilical hooked on to it. Much
as it did the other day - uh - without
us suited.

229 17 08 19 PLT Now he's in front of - uh - 404, now

translating around the - uh - dome
lockers, a distance out of about 2 feet,
not flying quite as close as he did
unsuited.

PLT . Flying around the dome lockers, a very

smooth rotation he uses, remains
completely upright all the time. Little
difficulty.
 Dump Tape 229-06
Page 14 of 16

PLT ... now.

PLT Stopped in front of h32 .... photo.

Now he's - uh - rotating over - uh -
to his left and backing away. h32,
translating downward. Getting kind
of close to the food lockers there,
but he's coming away from them.
Moving towards the donning station.

229 17 09 58 PLT I'll give you some time. 8 minutes yet.

Okay, he's positioning himself - uh -
neatly in front of the donning station,
with no ,problem at all. Get a photo-
graph. Yeah, there's a photograph of
him backing off of the donning station
now and - uh - trying to find what mode
he's in. He's in direct, flying in direct
now yawing to his right. Now he's in yaw,
translating - uh - as he does it. He's
directly above the crew quarters hatch at
this time. No cross coupling - uh -
noticeable, no difficulty in operating
"_ the - uh - hand co_re-]., eitherthe
thrust controller with his left hand
or rotation controller with his right
hand. Pointing his feet now to - uh -
to the food lockers. Flying up to
the banjo.

229 17 ii 17 PLT Stabilizing in front of the banjo.

There he is. In front of the banjo.
There he is hear the workshop hatch,
facint it. Now, he's translating
away from it down to his number 2
position, which is down by - uh -
scientific airlock. Got a TV float -
float - floating free, PLT goes over
and reaches that. It gets away, he
goes down and gets it again. It keeps
getting away. He got it now.

229 17 12 29 PLT Okay, here he's coming - uh - over to -

• uh - position himself in front of T013.
Uh - to - uh - there he is. Now he's
backing off to his - uh - number 3
 Dump Tape 229-06
Page 15 of 16

position which is up by dome h04.

He is translating away yawing - not •
noticeably, but rolling to his right.
Now he's started to Jog to the left.
Flying very smoothly and carefully in
direct. No failure difficulty what-
soever in - uh - controlling the -
uh - maneuvering unit. About the
umbilical_ it flies just like it did
unsuited, apparently, from the observer's
position. Gave me a good blast with the
thrusters, that's why we're wearing the
goggles. Our friend - uh - Cecil B. DeGarriott
is up there - uh - getting TV pictures.

229 17 lh 02 PLT Okay, now he's translating around - uh -

the dome locker ring. Approximately 2 to
B feet - uh - separating the - uh - dome
lockers from the leading edge of - uh -
the hand controller. Now, he's moving
in closer and flying in a little more -
uh - closely to the dome locker. Main-
_ taining a good rotational rate so he knows
he's safe in the dome lockers. No - uh -
translation up and down at all. Translating
only to his right as he yaws to his right.
Maintaining a constant attitude with
respect to the dome lockers. Now,
moving over to - uh -- dome locker 432
area which is point number h in the
maneuver. Huh?

229 17 15 06 PLT Okay. This is the best - well, okay. I

guess you got it all, huh? Now he's
translating away from - uh - h32. He
likes to go down when he does that. He's
translating downward and going to his
left. Now facing ths donning station
directly over the crew quarters hatch.
Moving in in a very controlled fashion.
He's. stopped his yaw rate to the left.
He has zero translation forward at this
time.

229 17 15 49 PLT We'll get out his time and let him look
at it. We got 2-1/2 minutes left. Okay,
we're going to - uh - get his helmet and
gloves off.

you rise to the workshop. I'll have to
go up there and - iZq - feed it into the

it, it's almost like you've got a rigid

can occupy that position with the

229 16 21 07 PLT It's going to be hard if I don't have

something to hang on to. Take it down;
let me do this. That's about your

229 16 21 28 CC And - uh - Skylab, Houston. Uh - Jack,

if you have - uh - time, we've still
got about 7 minutes here at Vanguard.
We were 'wondering if you could let us
know how far along - uh - A1 is - uh -
in the run. Or, A1, if you could.

CDR We Just got started a few moments ago.

PLT Well, he Just moved out of the donning

station and he's - -

CDR Understand?

PLT - - doing the checkout maneuvers. That's

after a - or checkout - uh - or thruster
checkout.

CDR In-suited operations take a little time

to get rigged out.

229 16 21 54 PLT We'll turn the cameras off. Okay,

we've got the cameras off while you
wait here.

CDR Have you been able to find a place,

Jack, yet, where you could sort of
... the umbilical?

PLT Wait a minute. I 'm working on something

else. Okay. Yeah, right where it is
right now - uh - except you don't know
how much of the - twist up the line -
uh - affects you, you know.

CDR Um-hm. I know it.

 Dump Tape 229-07
Page 3 of 19

PLT If it goes in a different place, it's

going to do a different thing. If I
can grab up way up here somewhere -

229 16 22 B7 CC Skylab, Houston. If I can break in

real quickly - uh - one note for the
SPT. Uh - we didn't get back to you
as we were going LOS there. We saw
about an 18 arc second change in your
pointing - uh - in that one rev on
that cell, and we expect only about
6 to 7 arc seconds. Uh - so, apparently -
uh - yo# were pointing at a different
cell. And - uh - we were sorry we didn't
get the answer to you as we were going
AOS - LOS at Hawaii.

229 16 23 01 SPT Okay, now actually that was a two-rev

change there, because this is the third
rev I've done it. And so a 6 or 7
doubled is nearly the change that we
saw. So it looks to me like it might
_ have actuallybeen the same film.

CC Roger, Owen. Uh - the way we - uh -

arrived at that ntm_ber, we had looked
at the telemetry from one rev pass, so
we think the number that we calculated
was a - uh - one-raw diff - difference
and not two.

229 16 23 32 SPT Okay, here is the _'eason. The second rev

I couldn't find the cell with much cer-
tainty, so I used the same numbers that
I had on the original rev. And so I
think that the second rev I may have
been mispointed a bit. But the first
and third revs differed by the 18 arc
seconds and - uh - and so - uh - that's
the reason I said two revs. And I think
it's a reasonably close numbers.

CC Okay, good. We're going to go back and

look at - uh - that rev also, and - uh-
we'll check it out.

229 16 25 II CDR Since this - Dick - since this •

umbilical isn't particularly large
relative to any you might have to
have EVA - in fact, it's our EVA
one - it kind of makes you wonder
if you had a maneuvering unit whether
you wouldn't have to include in it
the cooling and - uh - and 02 require-
ments. Either that or one whale of a
lot of gas, because - uh - if you got
this umbilical out very far, it's
gonna really have an idea of its own
where i_c wants to go.

CC Roger, understand.

CDE It not only once has an idea, when you

get in going it wants to keep going,
too. When you stop, then it's off
your e.g. and it keeps going, so it
torques you and then you're back
extending gas. You can overpower it.
We've got enough_athorityto do it,
it's just that - uh - you fire a lot
of bursts.

CC Roger, AI.

229 16 29 32 CDR Now you're making me go faster again. I •

don't think there is going to be a simple
way to determine what you're doing to
what this is doing.

PLT I think the smart thing to do is to

keep hands off and let you fly it
and - uh - that's what this part of
the evaluation is about.

CDR I think you're right.

Let's do it.

PLT Okay.

CDR There's no way. Otherwise, every time

you move the thing moves off like you know,
I - you can turn me left, too.

PLT Right. And - uh - you're not going to

have somebody doing that when you're
EVA with it.

CDR That's right. Let's Just fly it this

way and - uh - see what happens. When
we change bottles end batteries we'll -
uh - stick to the - uh - other, and
we'll see how it wezks.

PLT We'll get the chance to fly the SOP to

get the other side of the coin.

229 16 30 16 CDR Maybe. Let's start again with the

yaw maneuver. Okay, here %_ go. This
is about as close as I can get to stop
without wasting a lot of gas.

PLT Okay. Yawing left. Umbilical is

swinging - uh - is swinging behind
him, it's kind of rotating on a pivot
at the workshop hatch. I think one
big secret is to keep that thing from
rubbing those dome lockers.

CDR Do what?

on the dome lockers.

229 16 31 35 CDR Here's a mark.

PLT Gives yeu a data mark.

229 16 31 40 CDR Okay, I'm going to pitch up. Now these

mar - maneuvers aren't as precise as
you would like because I don't want to
waste the gas to do it.

PLT Okay, you pitching up? Pitches up,

translation to his left.

229 16 32 12 COP There's the mark. i'm going to go right

before we run out of gas.

PLT And he's translating over toward the

plus-Z side of the workshop. He's
rolling to - going to his right now.
He's still drifting aft, trying to
arrest his translation.

CDR I can arrest it, but I hate to do it.

PLT The umbilical is - uh - stringing

I don't want to change the umbilical
from where it is now, it looks like -

can get it, A1.

CDR Think you may have found its spot, huh?

PLT Yeah, the only thing I can see to do

is I'm going to have to - uh - uh -
stuff a little more of it back in the
airlock but - uh - it's not rubbing on
anything. Missing the dome lockers all

on SOP and HRMU up to the banjo area

the difficulty was that we ran out of

go get you some more - uh - air and

229 17 40 54 PLT Oh, m_ybe you better let that umbilical

swing free instead of tying it down
like that. Let's try that. At least
it will be swiveling on the tehter
connection of the PC[; rather than -
uh - beingtied rigiClyto the arm.
It all depends on your position in
the workshop. If you're down here,
you need more, but if you're up there,
it's too much. Okay_ now - what we
need to do is - uh - go up there

f_.,._ Page' 5 of 6 _. ! ................... i

................ left, minus 6_0. Now at the beginning

of the secondorbit,I did not positively
identify that same cell. In fact I
, was inclined to think I did not see it.

229 18 2B 06 SPT Uh - however, I had taken a photograph

of the cell at the beginning of the first
rev. In spite of the fact I have photographs
and everything else, l've got some comments
on that earlier rev about it, I do not
feel that I can identify the main cell.
?_ I went back to those same coordinates
that I used for the first rev - minuS 8394;
minus 454 ; minus 640 - and then moved out _
the appropriate number of arc seconds
for the steps that were called out. So _:
_ that's the reason that my pointing on the _
/ :_ i second rev was not exactly the same as
,_ , it was on the first; but my boundary, --
_i _ initial starting point, was still the :_
- _ s_e.

.i- 229 18 23 41 SPT And then on the third rev I once again -_
compared it with my H-alpha picture. And
I believe I did locate the boundary -
same spot - at minus 8394; minus 490, -- l

down; minus 644, left. Now - uh - this

is further down about - uh - 16 arc seconds
and left - a further force. So it's about
16 or 16 arc seconds away. And so that
is reasonably close to the - uh -
apparent - uh - rotation rate expected.
Uh - you mentioned on the uplind it was -
uh - 6 or 7 arc seconds per rev. So -
uh - that bleakly further confirms -
uh - my - uh - opinion that we were indeed
on the same - uh - network cell on the
third rev.

229 18 24 27 HPT Uh - It would have been impossible to

identify this by sketches. I did make
a sketch as well, but - uh - it was the
prints of the H-alpha photographs with
the - uh - Polaroid camera which permitted
the identification of this main cell.
And - uh - ass_m_ng that you will now

concur that - uh - we probably did have t

the same cell, I think it's probably
essential that we do take a - take a
H-alpha photograph - uh - of the - uh -
network with H-alpha 1. It's going to
be a little be blurry because the -
uh - Jitter of the scope here sort of
smears things out over the integration
time of the - uh - uh - Polaroid camera.

229 18 25 05 SPT But after - uh - uh - even with the

smearing, the - uh - network cells are
identlfi_ble and I think that's the only
way we can come back to the same one -
uh - one or two revs after we start it

We've got a thousand pounds or less and
• So we're near the end. And Al's going to

on the SOP and - uh - we're sneaking up

on it again and we're about ready to turn •
it on before going into the 2-minute on

go hack to primary.

PLT I'm going to waid 30 seconds before I go

down and help you, AI. I want to get this
watter cool_ut going. You reading me, Dick?

CDR Dick, did you read Jack?

CC CDR, negative. I did not.

229 17 59 41 CDR Okay, here's essentially what we've done.

We used up the first bottle - uh - flying
the maneuvers in the middle of the - uh -
workshop. Not the baseline maneuvers,
but the attitude maneuvers and the limb
motion. We then creme back, put in a
second bottle and new batteries, put on
the SOP, took off the umbilical_ and
flew a baseline maneuvers in direct -
that was the second _cuver. Be first
one we flew in CMG and then direct. Then
we came back, got the HHMU and flew the
first leg of the baseline maneuver and
then the SOP ran out of oxygen. So we
emue back, put the _.bilical back on -
that's where we arc _t the moment - put
the third bottle on and we're down to
1,000 pounds in the _.hird bottle. I flew
a baseline maneuver with the HHMU and
the tm_bilical although it wasn't very
tidy. We did make it around. Uh - now
we're going to - we have to - this last
thousand pounds - I 'm going to attempt to
do a baseline maneuve _ with the t_bilical
and rate gyro. But the amount of fuel
we use in the rate gyro is fantastic.
It's - my guess is it'll never make it
around.

CC Roger, A1. Understand.

 _m

Dump Tape 229-09

Page 4 of 5

229 18 01 04 CDR Without the t_bilical on, it flies very

%_ii. Oh - the SOP down at the bottom
on the leg doesn't seem to bother it. The
thrusters don't appear to have impinged
particularly on the suit, or the quipment
I 'm wearing, so that you get rather pure
rotations, translations aud the like, or at
least as pure as we did without the suit.
Now I noticed with the HH_;, such is not
the case. The NHMJ is very - it's much
more unstabilizing in the suit than out of
it, because the e_haust from the handheld
maneuvering unit strikes you in different
places -' or your backpack - tub - in different
places depending on where your hand is.
And it upsets your apple cart a bit. So
the HHMJ is even more difficult to fly than
unsuited and not only because of, you know,
the cumbersome suit, but the fact that the
thrusters impinged all over the place on
it. It's much diffezent.

CC Roger, CDR.

229 18 02 19 CDR Um- let me think. What else? The P - SOP

lasted- we had a full 6,000 pounds in it
and my g_ess is it l_sted around - uh - 19
to 20 minutes.

PLT That' s correct.

229 18 03 01 Cq)R I think one interesting thing is you -

you seem to set a little bit further away
from the backpack in zero g than you did
before. And I find t/uat the arm - the
hand controller - the rotational and
translational - is a little bit too
close for me. It nev-_r was in training
or checkout. I don't - I've been trying
to figure it out. I assume it's Just
the way the backpack fits in zero g, the
way the suit fits, or the way I'm floating
forward in the suit, or something like that.
•That isn't true with - in zero - or one g.

229 21 28 12 PLT Okay space fans this is the PLT on

channel A debriefingthe last ATM run
starting at 20:29. I completed the
J0P 9, step l, building block 2. Uh -
I gave S082A one feebie there inadvert-
ently which - tub - he may not think is too
much of a freebie cause he's getting low
on frames, but - uh - I inadvertently
gave him a 3 minute - uh - exposure in
the short wavelength and - uh - I left
the time on for exactly three minutes
so he'd know what he had. Uh - As I
mentioned to Crip over the real time
- uh - there would not have been time
to complete - uh - building block 5 -
uh - correction, JOP 5, building block
6A, so - uh - I elected to save it until
the last rev today which is also mine,
and - uh - at which point I will have
time to do it and instead what I did
was - uh - I went to the last rev and -
uh - picked up that shopping I - list
item 13 for Milligan's crew and - uh -
/_ I got about a 9 minu_;e _posnre - uh -
filter three long so - uh - when I come
to that point - uh later on this evening
why I'll - uh - go ai_ead and do the -
uh - building block GA and there'll be
plenty of time at that point to - uh -
complete that. So tLat takes care of it
for today - uh - or for this pass and
Owen will get you on the next one.

229 21 29 45 PLT Thank you.

229 21 30 00 PLT Oh, I'm afraid we hav_ one more comment

on the last rev, in setting up for - uh
- powerdown for unattended ops that that
roll of minus 5400 an< the grating I
ran out of daylight as the grating was
_Innlng down so I went to mechanical
reference and - uh - stipped it at zero
and then rand out the 102 and - uh -
reset the reference - uh - so I should

229 21 46 34 CDR Okay, this is the CDR; we completed

the 93 run. Believeit or not, the
SPT made it through, end ah - his total
workload was a brilliant 304, 30h mind
you, all that in 2 minutes.

229 21 46 47 CDR CDR out.

229 22 04 36 CDR This is the CDR, and l_m doing M_87-3B.

And ah, I'll ah, be discussing the items
that are on this list trying to give
them sane sort of a rating. Ah, I'll
try to give them a rating that's ah, ah,
either a_ - ah, excellent, very good,
adequate, poor, unacceptable, per the
guide down the page 3-2 of the Eval
Checklist; it looks little different.
It says, evaluate each of the following
compartments with the habitability pari-
meters, it is not required to be in the
compartment being evaluated. Okay,
wardroc_ - On each of these, I 'm gonna
go down this list.

CDR Under wardroom, general arrangement and

orientation of compartment; I think it's
good. Ah - I think the fact that we've
got the wardroom on the minusZ, where
we can have the best -_ind in the place.
And the minus-Z, in the solar inertial
air - spacecraft, ah, during the day-
light hours, looks down at the Earth,
it's one of the wiser things to do. Now,
we do need ah, a bigger window. That
windows marginal in size, and should be
much larger. Of course there should be
several more windows of equal size,
throughout the spacecraft. Operating
inside this little car Just doesn't
quite hack it. We have the - ah, the
ability now to ab, camp a little more
weight, and we, I think one the things
to put them in, is - is - is very safe
.windows, and ah, we can use them in ah,
 Dtmlp Tape 229-13
s- Page .2 of lh

not only good experiments, we got

T002 out there, a lot of haudheld
photography, but Just ah, to relax
these things. Ah, some of those
things about the orientation of the room,
it needs a desk in it. Wardroom seems
to be the place where ah, we get all
the data, and dispence it. Right
now we got a little clip board on the
wall, and we plant our feet in the floor,
but some sort of permanent desk with
some snap cllp things that would allow
you to ah, do your paper work. A lot
of it co_es up in a space station, and
ah, you need a permanent place to file
things, to hold things, and to set and
correct items, Scotch tape dispensers
built in, things of that nature. Food?
Food compartments okay, the ah, it
could be a little bit easier, I - I
don't think it gets the food hot - the
food trays get the ah, food quite
hot enough. And the restraint's are a
r little bit more _.h, flexible then they
need to be. Y - I'd like to be able
to go in there and hook on to something,
and it Just stay. The water gun idea,
one for each person is good, the water
gun tip can be improved, I think you
could knock your teeth out, if you' re
not careful. Ah, it takes a few days
to be very careful about it, but the
main thing is, the individual water
guns were - if you measured water
taking a drink, you don't have to worry
about what other people are doing are
okay. It's a little bit small for
getting to the refrig. Ah, waste
disposal now, is fairly easy with the
ah, change in the doors so that every-
body's got a trash bag. Do - do -
ability - The way your knife, fork
and food is stored, the fact that All
the spices are all over in one place,
the pills are over in one place, all
D_np Tape 229-13
Psge 3 of it

that's a little bit ah, difficult.

I personally favor a wardroom, or a -
that has sort of food dispensingis
the pantry, as opposed to ah, to ah
individual ah, meals in eronological or-
der. If a - if we had everything in a
row for example, you know the time to
get peaches, you check your menu and
go right to the Peach place. As it is,
you got to move things down in order,
and if your day's menu isn't right
there, you have to go hunt it, if you
need sere overage, you got to go find it,
if you Just had everything in the pantry
like you do at home, end then pulled
out what ever you needed, you'd be
much better off. I know in - on Earth,
if you feel like same potato chips, you
know where the potato chips are, you
don't have to shift thro,,gh i0 days
of cans of everything else, to find
one potato chip. So, I definitely
recommend we get rid of this serealized
cronologieal food arrangement. Co_m_
is good in there, 8_., lighting seems
to be good, entertainment could stand
much better stereos %round the room,
and ah, color scheme's okay, could be
a little different, it ah, keeps cleans,
even though we make a lot of mess in
there. I would recommend that we use
the materials that w-_ have even if it's
Just several different colors. Not enough
places, to put your feet on the floor,
tying them in. Trash wasn't thought of,
it's kind of an add on, an - had a lot
of difficulty with trash, way too much
time. I would say a_ least 15 minutes
to SO minutes a day _s spent fooling
with the trash in th&t room; no reason
for it. We need a compace or s_newhere
we Just throw it in, and forget it;
onee'a week empty it. Stowage is good.
We got a lot things stowed in there
• that we don't use very often, like
clothes, towels, and like I think
maybe ah, if we could somehow stow
 Dtmlp Tape 229-iB
_ Page 4 'of lh

that food there, moved it from one side

of the room to the other, instead of
moving from upstairs to downstairs.
Need more temporary restraints, need
the same bungees we've talked about
several times. They ought to be on
all - all walls all doors, built in,
then anytime you wanted to fix some-
thing you go - -

229 22 l0 h0 CC And ah Skylab, Houston ab, for anybody;

I got one message I'd llke to relay,
please.

229 22 12 58 CDR Get back to recording. Thermal comfort

is okay. Noise level's okay. Illumina-
tion - it could be more, but that affects
your personal mobility. Well I've
noticed we alwsys pull ourselves around,
using those food trays, I don't think
that's particularly good there mounted
with handloeks which aren't that strong.
f I guess I'd have to say that the
mobility aids in there are poor. You
either use the ceiling grid or pull on
those ab, food tables. Also, ab, when
; you're in front of the sh, ab, trash dis-
_" posal place it ab, it ah, you got to use
your foot restraint, there's no other
little haudbar, or an_-_hing.

229 22 13 59 CDR let's take the waste management cempart-

merit. General arrangement orientation,
ah poor, too small. The reason it's
too small is, only one person can really
operate in there at once. Also, there's
no privacy, if a guy wants to shave, aud
the other guy wants to urinate, you
can do it, but - but it would have been
much nicer if we'd have somehow closed off
the waste area, from the washing ah,
clean up mirror shaving area, wouldn't -
wouldn't have been difficult at all, we
could have had a shag lining door, or
something. But that's - I think that's
a critical thing. Nobody likes to have
it all hanging out while the next guy is
Dump Tape 229-13
Page 5 of lh

shaving, as a result when people go in

there, they close the door, and then
that keeps you from going in Just to
even get a towel, or maybe you Just want
to go in there to see if semething -
what's in your eye. So I - I give
that volume a poor and general arrange-
ment and orientation is ah, is poor.
Ah, for ceiling/floor proximity, I
don't know; it could be a little
higher. Ingress/Egress provision,
awful tight, can't get by anybody if
they're there. If anybody's in there
and you,want to go past him, you can't;
should be wider. Trash collection,
okay. We have to sting our big
urine bag and things, and stick them
outside, there's no trash collection
feature for anything other than small
hand size trash. Any other trash hangs
on the wall in a big white bag, now I
don't think that's too good. We
could have put us big white bags, in-
side doors, then _ could have open the
door and thrown in trash and closed
the door, much like you do in your
kitchen. Stowage volume, not near
enough in there, all these things that
are in use are stowed there, anytime
you want anything else, you have to
get it, from scmewhere else, and move
it down there in a small basis. You
can only have about four or five towels
in there at once; you use one a day.
Another feature that would be nice -
no real good stowage for - you open
it - open the door and then there's
your dop kit, then you got to open
four flaps on your dop kit to get any-
thing. There should have been some
good stowage there for shaving cream,
shaver, and all that. Now, you can
_A_e it because there's female velcro
in there and you put a male velcre
on your equipment, which I did. But
still it would have been better to have
spring bungee things inside some of

i
 Dump Tape 229-13
_, Page 6 of lh

those compartment, and called them

the - the cabinet for your personnel e-
quipment and Just put it in there, in-
stead of in a bag that's in the near 2.
Temporary equipment restraints are non-
existent in there, except for snaps,
should be some. I won't go into that
again same as the wardroom. Personal mo-
bility aids, they're pretty good; re-
straint devices are lacking. We haven't
come up with a good one there, the ones
presently in there interfere with the ah,
urine box. We do need something there,
you're constantly floating all over the
place. The strap that you use when you're
fecaling is marginal, it 'ii hold you down
there so, but it really needs to be better.
Also when you're on the fecal sh, device,
and your head's over, you tend to ah,
be close to the ceiling which is trouble-
s_me, but mostly, it blocks out all your
light, so if you war_t to read on the Job,
your - your gonna have to do it with your
_" book in the dark al_ost. 7_t'd have been
much better if we'd have made that thing
set vertical and not tried to save space
and all that stuff. Could have put it
over there in the corner. Thermal comfort,
you can't change the ther_1 level in
there, so if you de_ide to - you want
it a little bit warner while you ah,
bath, you give yourself a sponge bath,
you can't do it for the simple reason
if you turn off the fan the ah, SW_ sys
things caught in the screens above, fall
down on your head. Not f,li down, but
slowly drift away. So, you go to keep
on that fan, when you do, you got a
draft in there. Should be a little ther-
mal control in there, so you can take a
nice sponge bath without &_tting cold,
you'change the temperature of that
compartment relative to the others,
that's about the only one; should be
warmer.

229 22 17 h7 CC Skylab, Houston. Ah, we're going LOS.

We'll see you at Honeysuckle at 22:24.
 Dump Tape 229-13
Page 7 of 14

229 22 17 53 CDR Noise level, okay, Illumination, poor.

All Illumination is directly above
your head; can't shave under your neck.
You want to examine a spot on your face
or something, you can't see it worth a dare.
Ah, this is not sufficient Illumination
and it's all way up high, shaving your
neck or anything that kind of ah, de-
filate, if that's the word, to s_ething
else. So I'd recommend we definitely
would increase the amount of lighting
in there for shaving, or getting spects
out of the eye, or a]] those other things,
it Just,isn't satisfactory.

229 22 18 3h CDR Sleep compartment, general arrangement,

it's okay. Needs to be much more
sound proof, it's very light proof.
Needs to have a door on it that when you
close it's sound proof and gives real
privacy. Needs to have an area to
hang your clothes. You use a lot of
clothes in this business, you use
/ clothes for when _t's cold in the MDA,
when it's hot here, you got your
gym clothes for exercise, and you got
your sleep clothes. About the only way
you could put them where they could
dry out and get s_ze air, is kind of
out blowing in the 0reeze on those little
ah, re -those little rubber restraints,
which are great. And ah, that's had,
it'd be nice if you had a - sumething
like a closet that you could open the
doors, put - hang those things in there
and the breeze would blow through and
keep them dry and cool, yet they
wouldn't be out blowing in the breeze.
Ah, I think that's about it. Volt_e of cum-
partment seems adequate ah, it does need
a little more, like I said, closet. But
as far as where you want to sleep, it's
okay. Ceiling/floor proximity, that's
okay. Ingress/Egress provisions are
good, trash collections provisions, I
think satisfactory may be even ex-
ceptional. You don't have much trash in
 D_np Tape 229-13
_-_ Page 8 of 14

there. Stowage volume and access,

you got lots of stowage in there, and •
most of your personal equipment.
T_porary equipment restraints needs
springs built in and ah, several others.
It's got those little ah, ah, little
towel restraints, that are excellent.
Personal mobility aids; doesn't have
any_ doesn't need any, I don't think.
In bed I guess maybe a restraint on the
floor and ceiling to - for a handhold,
would be good. Personal restraint de-
vices ah, we talked about the body sup-
ports. ,Thermal comfort needs to be
adjustable; needs to be cooler than
the rest of the spacecraft. Needs to
have the airflow not from your feet to
your head, which blows up your nose.
Either from head to feet, or either at
the side, or something like that, and
also needs to have controls not where
it can be deflected. Noise level needs
to have - be able to decrease the
/- noise level from the rest of the work-
shop. Right now, everybody has to sleep
the same time. It's hard to go to sleep
when smmebody else is awake, because of
the light and - but mostly cause of
the sound. We need to have little
compartments where you can go in, in the
middle of the day, a fellow can do a
new experiment, and it's still quiet.
Their reason for ah, for all that noise,
Just ah, impractical. Ill_,_nation -
needs a better reading light; that's
about it.

229 22 21 32 CDR Experiment compartment - crowded, could

be better, needs more lighting. Just
a little crowded, I think you could do
the things in there, that we want to do,
but ah, you really don't have a lot of
extra room, if - if one person's riding
the bike, and the other fellow is
monitoring near the ah equipment that's
so monitored has to be careful he doesn't
get kicked as he pedals the bike. It
 D_np Tape 229-13
_. Page 9 of 14

Just - It Just needs to be larger to do

the sorts of work we're doing. I guess - •
I guess I'd have to say it - it's adequate
but ah, that's about it. General arrange-
ment's good, best - best you could do,
I think, with this. All, there's been
some thought about mounting some on the
floor, mud some on the walls, some on
the seat, this doesn't work out. You
tend to orient yourself when you're
in a room, even though you're in 0g,
and when you orient yourself, you should
ah, find yourself in an attitude that
everything's about the same; you don't
like something up, something under ...
You llke things to be orderly like they
always are on Earth. Now, if you want
to put everything on the ceiling and
the floor you sure handle that. It's
Just we don't want half and half.
Ingress/Egress provisions, Just the
ceiling hatch, right in the middle, I
think is not enough. We should have
F a small hatch over _o the side, Just
as we do in the ah, wardroom, and -
and one sleep compartment. There's Just
a - Just don't want to come down to
one Ingress/Egress bun. Trash collec-
tions provisions, not much, but you
don't need them. Stowage and access,
needs a little more stowage volume,
we've got tools in there and trash bags
and all that, it would be nice to
collect all the trash bags in one
place, it's easy to find them, now
they're kind of throwed here and there
and if you want a trash bag, you gotta
remember where they are, if you want it,
and there's about four places, when one
runs out you got to remember that
next time. You're not the fellow that
ran it out, so you don't remember it
and he does, so it takes three different
people traveling there once to find out
it's empty. Personal the mobility aids
seem okay ah, once again there's Just
not much there. Most of the time, your
 D_np Tape 229-13
_ Page i0 of 14

moving around on the equipment, or

on the floor ceiling. Seems saris- •
factory, but if we had - didn't have
this grid, you'd have to come up with
something. Persons/ restraints, the
floor and ceiling are the only ones.
Thermal comfort, good. Noise level,
okay. Ill1_m_nation - need more ill%nni-
nation, we're Just - we're low on
ill,_nation.

229 22 24 02 CDR Forward dome needs more illumination

by far. It bothers you having to read
in this,dim light, all the time. It
makes you have to use high
intensity lights on photographs, and
that makes it hotter up here. Experi-
ments are rsmdem= all over the place.
It sure'd be nice if we could have them
stashed in some sort of order in an
experiment wall or cabinet, like you'd
have in a - a lab in - in school. You
wouldn't Just have things stashed all
f over it, then you could have the floor
free to do the experiment. It'd be
nice if this area ari the other area
were all one in the ssme. With everything
stowed somewhere on the wall, except the
things that had to be permanently mounted,
like the ergometer or the LBNP, and then
that's notched by the floor space. And
then when you needed something, you could
go get it. One of the problems we have
is, the n_bering system is logics/ as
it could be, but there's Just so m_ny
different places, cabinets on all sides
of the rocm_ in different places. There
was semebody ... on the floor, for example,
I'm looking right no'_ at a
cabinet sIg0B Earth terrain camera,
stow.age region called F-573 on one wall
is 552, on the other wall it's 52h, so
if somebody should go to 524, he don't
• know whether to look on the floor, look
on the wall, and it becomes Just a
real experiment. Things ought to be
more essentially located with a mum-
 o.,

Dump Tape 229-13

/_ pageii of 14

bering system that _-,_ediatelytells

you where things are. This would ,
probably do it - probably all the 70's
are on the floor, or something like that.
No it isn't because here's one one the
floor called 594, but probably all over -
In any event, it's important that we
ah, do something about vol_e; got plenty
of volume. If your gonna do things like
ah, evaluate the maneuvering, you -
you're gonna need more. Ceiling/floor prox-
imity, good. Ingress/Egress provisions,
I don't like the fact we've only got
one hole leading back to safety when
you're in the command module. One of
the funny designs we got here is, and we
llve in one end and our so call safety hatch
is at the ,ether end, the command module.
That isn't the way it ought to be. The
experiment compartment ought to be the
farther from the come home module.
Sleet compartment ought to be next to it,
and ah, everything else in between, there
f Just is no reason to separate yourself
so far from ah, safety, in the event of
a - of failure - big failure of some sort.
Ah, temporary equipN_ent restraints,
there aren't too max_y, except the
floor and ceiling. Ah, they're not
adequate, I don't tilink. Ah, personal re-
straint devices, nothing except sh, ah,
the floor and ceiling, l'd rec,'._,,,_end
ah, a little bit more in the way of
restraints, and ah, mobility aids. Ther-
mal cemfort, satisfactory. Noise level,
okay. lll,rm_nation, poor.

CDR 30 minute time limit !

CREW *.e

229 22 27 ll CDR He didn't say. Airlock, general arrange-

ment orientation of compartment, not
big enough. It's tubular when you'd
really like it square like a room, you
 Dt_p Tape 229-13
page 12 of 14

have to lay sideways in it, and as you

lay sideways in it, you kick things.
You don't have any good restraints.
What ought to be in there, is some way
to go in that lock compartment and
secure yourself by the seat, some sort
of foot restraint. Have your equipment
all mounted around you, and that
foot restraint he in such a position that
you could open the hatch, and do all the
other hatch and maneuvering _ud tricks
or what you have to do. As it is, two
of you get in there and float around,
bang into one another. One guy flats up
and down, trys to get cockeyed, brace
his feet to do this, tries to stay out
of the way of the cameras that are
mounted on the wall; it Just - it's
sure a make shift operation. You need
samething, with a nice floor, a nice ah,
way you can restraint something, being
protected where you won't get bomped,
where you'll be nice and stable, and
you can get to all the it_m_ you need
/_" to get to without floating to them.
Volume, not enough. Ceiling/floor prox-
imity, there ain't no ceiling/floor, it's
a round tube and you're generally laying
from hatch to hatch, it's not the way
it ought to be built. Ah, trash collec-
tion, no provision, I don't - I think
there's need not fou" trash collection pro-
vision but stowage provision that you
can use EVA. Now we sit here and ...
not because the handrails are tied to
the handrails with straps, now that's
a pretty poor way to do. We had some
nice pocket springs and ah, restraints
built in, where we could snap the stuff,
or catch the stuff, and not have to put
tethers and things all over them, unless
you really needed them outside, it'd
be much better, and it'd also be more
organized, also you would ticket and
then center it. There's Just a lot that
needs to be done to that lock compartment
to make it type that you'd really want
to use. Now I'd have to say that it's
 D_np Tape 229-13
__ Page iS of 14

okay to do our Job, but we're trying

to get improvementshere and I would
say as a result of that thought, that
it Just, it Just needs a shape redesign
and a whole concept redesign. Stow-
age volume, we Just talked about.
Temporary equipment restraint, not
good enough, poor, the only thing there
is poles. As far as mobility aids
they've got era'. Good mobility aids,
you can get around in there, hold the
sides, hold the handrails when you want
to leave something in there for Just
a minute, it's hard to find it. Ther-
mal cemfort's okay, noise level, okay,
illumination, so so.

229 22 29 45 CDR MDA/STS. General arrangements - a little

bit small. Trouble with the MDA is, it's
not oriented like a room. So one guy
goes by and he faces one way, and he
hits the other guy in the back of the head,
whose facing the other way who's looking
_- at an experiment and doing Just the
opposite. Also by having circular rooms,
you end up having a problem knowing
where that the cabinet things are stowed.
It's much better to have rooms like down
in the workshop where you got a floor and
you got cabinets uh you got certain places
to put certain things and it Just seems
to work better. Now, this is certainly
acceptable for what we're doing. We
don't have any trouble in there except
bt_nping into each other. Unless things
accidentally slide into uh spots and may-
be, who knows, maybe that's the thing
of the future. But right now m_ feeling
would be that you want to stick to some-
thing that you could think of a similar
nature in the same place. Puts all the
stowage in one wall, puts all the equip-
ment in a little corner. In other words
it gets everything in a spot where it
can uh be useful and not have to try
to hunt it. Now if we have to find some-
thing in a stowage box in the MDA,
 Dump Tape 229-13
_-- Page lh of 14

someone says get it out of M-323.

Good luck, because you've gotta hunt
around until you find M-323 and it's
Just more difficult than if you had
a nice stowage wall like these
food lockers are. you ought to try
to get things like that in every
compartment. Ingress/Egress provision,
they're okay for the size room, but
what you get stuck with a single access
down to the workshop and a single access
back into the DWS, I mean back into the
command module. Temporary equipment
restraints, uh, nothing there, poor, uh
especially poor, ought to be springs on
top of every one of those boxes, onght
to be multiple restraints and things so
that the people could hold on. It, it's
poor. Uh, mobility aids, in the form of
special ones, poor also, the handles on
top of boxes, boxes themselves, one of
the nice things is the restraint used
for the EREP C&D, there ongbt to be a
/_" similar thing for the mh for the uh uh uh
VTS, even though you can hold on with
your hands, why do it? Much better to
have something wit_ your feet that you
could move around cn. Thermal comfort -
it's okay, noise level, okay, illl-,_ nation,
needs more light although I'll have to
admit it's better than uh some of the
other places we've worked at. So I
think for the CDR, that completes the
objective evaluation, guide 2 which is
487-2, 3 - correction 3B.

:_.C| 230 00 14 38 CDR Okay, this is the CDR on - uh - getting

ready to debrief the 509 run today. It
took placemuch earlier, but - uh - we
Just didn't have time to debrief it. And
I plan to do it right now. Of course, I
did a lot of talking when we were on _n-
bilical, little aid. And - uh - by the
way, this information - 5 -M509 goes
to - to Bruce McCandless, Ed Whitsett,
and Lou Ramon. As I said, I did a lot
of debriefing on the comm during the
time. So - ah - I may repeat m_,self
here or ms_ not say some of the things
I said then. But in any event - ah -
here goes.

230 O0 15 19 CDR Could you fly the baseline maneuver

satis2actorily in all modes? First of
all, let's - let's talk about the
two fundamental differences. One, if
you got the ambilical on, it's bad
news, because the t_bilical - like we
said the other day - from our test
without the suit - it's got a mind
of its own, nothing changed today.
The umbilical torqued everything
around, particularly noticeable is
CMG MODE because it would constantly -
_ would change your attitude. But it
constantly caused for descent firings.
RATE GYRO, it woluld gra_ually torque
your attitude off because you would go
out of the deadbvnd and it would fire,
which reset the new deadband and you'd
keep going. So you'd gradually get out
of attitude with one whale of a lot of
firing. DIRECT Just took a lot of work.
HHMU, it was a lot of work and not only
that, your correct - you'd make a cor-
rection and you'd still keep going in the
same direction because your correction
was not as much as you thought it
should be. So you'd put in a big one
and about then the umbilical would have
 Dump Tape 230-01
Page 2 of 20

moved to where it wasn't resisting

anymore aud you'd go like crazy. So
it was very Upsetting in HHMU because -
ah - the same sort of positions and
forces didn't have the same effect
time and time again.

230 00 16 36 CDR Let's talk, for example, let's go

aheazl and talk about it mostly in the
FREE MODE, because my opinion is we
Just could never stand to have an umbilical
like this. The most we could ever have
in a maneuvering unit is one - a tether,
safety tether of some sort that won't -
of a very limp, hut strong strength; so
that it can maj'be keep you from flying
off somewhere. Now first of all, I
don't' think that's what you need. The
machine could be m_de reliable. No
reason to consider that_ but if you did,
you sure would want to feed oxygen and
water and the other stuff through it. So
let's - let's Just forget that and start
talking about - the untethered mode. By
the way, before I forget, Ed and - all -
Lou, what you got to do I think is
_ somehow figure a _ay to politic to get
another SOP or two on board for Jerry.
Or if you can't do that, at least to -
ah _ set up so you fly 509 after they
go out on their fLnal EVA and T-20 then,
too. So that you've got some SOPs.
Otherwise, his evaluation in suits is
Just gonna be useless. Is Just doesn't
have any - he's got to figure a way to
get some SOP time. Ah - I'd almost
reecmLmend not going in a suit - ah -
if you had the tether. I wouldn't
recommend that. I would say, go ahead
and do it; but I wouldn't spend three
bottles doing it. I would set aside two
bottles and - and - ah - have it Just -
uh - something for education, but not for -
for the experiment. It's Just gonna -
Just gonna bother you.
D_np Tape 230-01
Page 3 of 20

230 00 18 13 CDR Could you fly the baseline maneuver

satisfactorily in all modes? ...
Yes, you can fly it okay in all modes.
Ah - some commentsI had before. It's ,
Just harder in the suit. Hands don't
work as well. All - you're kinda en-
closed in this little bubble and divorced
from the environment. So you tend to fly
further from things. When I flew the
ring lockers, I flew farther away. You
tend to fly a little bit faster because
your hands get tired, and you - you Just
don't wanna - you don't want to work too
hard in that suit. Ah - It'll beat you
down; it wins every time. It can stay
in the game a lot longer than you can and
so you tend to want to minimize your
efforts so you can stay - when you get
to a point, you'll be in good - ah -
physical condition. You don't wanna use
yourself up Just flying around.

230 00 19 01 CDR So - ah - I guess, with that in mind, I'd

have to say that DIRECT, in some respects,
was easier to fly because even though it
didn't keep your attitude as precise,
you didn't have to keep your hand out of
position as much. RATE GYRO CMG, you
have to keep your -your hand out of
position and that takes strength. And -
ah - in DIRECT, you can flip it a
couple of times 8.id just kinda relax
and it would head that direction.
Sloppier, I don't know what the fuel
usage was. In m_" opinion, that was a
much superior mode to the other two.
As far as crew comfort, (yaheth!) As
far as accuracy and precise flying, it
was not, of course.

230 00 19 38 CDR Which mode was baseline to fly? I

think it was easiest flying DIRECT,
you'd didn't have to work as hard, for
the reasons I Just mentioned; although
you were more accurate in CMG. RATE
GYRO was good, too. I didn't remember

I
 Dmnp Tape 230-01
,_" Page 4 of 20

now - I didn't fly RATE GYRO completely -

and - uh - in the - ah - ah - oh - un-
tethered mode.

230 00 20 01 CDR Did you feel eom - by the way, let me

go through what we did so that we're
a]] squared away. We went tethered;
then we flew - ah - all three - sh -
maneuvering in the middle of the
workshop. Not the baseline maneuvers.
0kay, when that was finished, I got Jack
to move me up and I flew a translation
maneuver. Just to see what it was like
in DfRECT. Then we went out to the
center and did some hand and arm movements
until we ran out of - ah - petrol. We
stopped, docked, untethered. I flew
s DIRECT baseline - I flew a CMG base-
llne, came back, flew an HHMU baselined,
which went pretty good, as you see. No,
wait a minute. I - I don't think that's
true. Yeah, I think it is. Wait a
_-- minute. Jack,how far did I fly with
that HI{M] in - on - on the - ah - on
tethered mode?

PLT ...

230 00 21 08 CDR Yeah, I didn't fly a whole thing; I

Just flew around a little bit, and
flew it up to the banjo. I could tell
that it was no - was not any more
difficult than - ah - any other - ah -
time with one large exception. And
that's this. The suit really deflects
the thrusters. Not only can you not
reach in the right places like you can
on the simulator. Simulator represents
that pretty well. But the fact is you
get much thruster impingement upon the
suit, and it's different each time. If
you have your hand out in front of you,
you get one set of thruster impingement.
If you have your hand to the side, a
different one. It's much tougher to
fly suited, HHMU, relative to unsuited
 D1anpTape 230-01
_-_ Page 5 of 20

- here - than it is in the

simulator. I believe unsuited HHMU
is easier here, whereas suited HHMU
is much harder here for the reasons
I gave.

230 00 22 02 CDR Now another interesting point. When

we're up there flying the thing at -
at Denver, that's all that's on our
mind. We fly for 3 or 4 days straight.
We get real handy at it, okay? In a
space mission: it's never that way. You
got a million things on your mind. You've
got _ ah - not only the next experiment,
but the last experiment, or eating, or
exercise, or - ah - how you did in your
medical today, or whether or not you're
gonna - you're getting physically degraded
to - ah - how's the entry gonna go, ATM
pass last time, you made two or three
mistakes you're _orried about that.
Everything's on :"our mind. You've -
you'vegot to he_-e something thatyou
can fly _thout semi-intuitively. Doesn't
mean you have to be stupid about it,
but it does mean you're not gonna be
bored to the fin-_ edge you need to be.
Now you can be honed for launch. You
can be honed for rendezvous. You can
be honed for ent.ry. Because they're
safety things. 3ut nobody wants a
device that's supposed to Just float
around and inspect something or take
you somewhere - ah - where you have
to have the world's best skills to do
it. It Just isn't the way you want
to operate. So - ah - that's Just sc_e
more co_ents on the HHMU.

230 00 23 13 CDR As you can see, l'm - I wasn't very -

ah - sh - enthusiastic about it to
begin with and I 'm much less enthusiastic
now because of the difficulties in - ah -
the suited work and because of the fact
that you can't use it very simply as a
trajectory-correcting mechanism. And
_ .Dump Tape 230-01
Page 6 of 20

finally, it's very easy to get out of •

control. It is Just as unsafe. I'd have
to give it an unsafe. I don't have my
little chart in front of me that goes ...
rating, but I'd have to give it the
numbers that say unacceptable for flying.
It Just isn't good enough and I think
you ought to think about that when you
spend your time, money, and - ah - effort
with Jerry Cart and his group. You
ought to think about - it's a fun thing,
but I'd think about doing something more -
ah -.useful to the future of the program.
RATE GYR0, CMG, and DIRECT are much superior
and there isn't - ah - they're not even
in the same - ah - ah - strata.

230 00 24 08 CDR Was precision stationkeeping easier in

some modes? Ah - by the way, - Let me
back up. Did you feed comfortable fly-
ing some modes faster than others?
-- Yeah. All of them suitedbecause - for
the reasons I just talked abollt. Ah - CMG
feels good to you because you don't feel
yourself was - _asting energy. RATE GYRO
feels the worst cause you're firing all
sorts of thrusters and you don't like to
do that. So, once again, same thing.
You don't have to get in the suits to
know that.

230 00 24 37 CDR Was precision sta_ionkeeping easier? Not

a thing different there from - uh -
suited. You're not in precision but
nothing different that you couldn't
learn from unsuited. Same comnents
apply.

230 00 24 47 CDR Did some modes take more attention to

flying than others? Same as unsuited;
no comment, except HH_ took a lot more.

230 00 24 54 CDR Were you able to satisfactorily aim

at the target for the transfer maneuver,
the baseline maneuvers? Only did one
transfer maneuver - the answer is yes,
same as the unsuited.
_-. Dsmp Tape 230-01
Page 7 of 20

230 O0 25 08 CDR Should any maneuver be changed? You

bet - get rid of the HH_J.

230 00 25 13 CDR Controllability. Are translat -

translation acceleration levels too
high, about right, or too low? I'd say
they're Just right. With the added
mass of suit, things are good. But when
you get that umbilical on, you haven't
got enough sometimes. Sometimes you got
too much and it varies. One time you
put in 3 seconds of pitch up and you go
1/10th of degree per second. Next time
you do it, the umbilical's in a different
percent - different position. You go
1 degree per second. So it's - it's a
little rough.

230 O0 25 43 CDR Could you null translational rates

satlsfactorally? Yes, but not so -
as well, because we had our gloves on
_-- and it's a little bit more clumbsy,
as you know.

230 00 25 50 CDR Could you command as small a minimum

impulse with the THC as you desired?
Seemed to be able to today.

230 00 25 55 CDR When attempting uinimt_n THC commands,

did you sometime_ fail to activate
thrusters? Ah - my impression would be -
I'm - I don't remember not, but my
impression wo_ld be I probably did
fail to activate them. But you'll be
able to tell that from the data much
better than I. It didn't - wasn't
bothering me, I'll say that.

230 00 26 14 CDR Are rotational acceleration levels in

too high, about right. They're about
right. I wouldn't want them any higher.

230 00 26 20 CDR Could you null rotational rates

satisfactorily in DIRECT? Yes - ah -
I could have been more precise, but
I was happy. I could get there; I could
fly on the right upside down or right
side up, no trouble.
f_ D_np Tape 230-01
Page 8 of 20

230 00 26 31 CDE Could you command as small a minimum

impulse with the RHC as you desired?
Yes - Well, I take that back. I don't
think you could. I don't think you
could even with the suit mask
commanded. I - I noticed I was
over controlling in DIRECT. I might
have been able to be more subtle but
once again, you've got an energy
problem in your hand.

230 00 26 52 CDE When attempting a minimum RHC co_mnand,

did you sometimes fail to activate
the thrusters in DIRECT? I don't know,
probably.

230 00 27 O0 CDR During the SINGLE AXIS CAL, did you

notice any attitude disturbances
when commanding translations? Ah -
I tried to notice them, but I did
those - ah - with the tether. And
_, answeris it masks everything. You
have no idea. You th_"ast, you go
somewhere, you thrust again, you go
somewhere, you thrust the same way
and go somewhere different. So - ah -
forget it.

230 00 27 23 CDR Do you feel that the RATE GYRO MDDE

attitude rates s_d displacement -
That's one thing you might want to ask
Jerry to do with the suit. When he
gets out on his - ah - his - ah -
SOP. Let him do some of those, see what
happens.

230 00 27 _8 CDR Do you feel that the RATE GYRO MODE

attitude rate and displacement dead-
hands were so tight that normal limb
motions caused excessive thruster
activity? Definitely, _ad - sh - I
felt they were way too tight - ah -
to keep you happy as far as - ah -
amount of thrusters fired. It's
great when you fire real slow unsuited.
But you fly suited and a little bit

F_ ,
 Dump T_.pe 220-01
_-_ P_ge 9 of 20

rough, like you tend to do with

suits pressurized, then it's too *
Imlch firing - way too much.

230 00 28 05 CDR During the SINGLE AXIS CAL, did you

notice attitude rates increase or
attitude change about an axis other
than the axis cow,handed? You gotta
be kidding. With that _bilieal,
you notice them all the places. We
talked about it already.

230 GO 28 17 CDR Do you feel that the RATE GYR0 MODE

attitdde rate and displacement dead-
bands were so loose that attitude rates
were not satisfactorily hulled? Definitely
not. They were too tight for operational -
happiness in that you tend to fire too
many times. They co%tld be much looser
and you'd be satisfied.

230 00 28 33 CDR Could you feel or hear the CMG locking

solenoids when caging or uncaging?
Ah - donVt remember for sure.

" 230 O0 28 _41 CDE Could you hear tie CMG gimbal whine
during limb motions? I don't think
so but could of during attitude co_maud.
I think so_ now, I think did there.

230 00 28 _2 CDR Were attitude disturbances due to

ncmral limb motions in the DIRECT
MODE bothersome? No. Because when
you move your arm out and back, you
end up in the sam.e place. So that
doesn't bother you a bit. Ah - And
you don't move much anyway. I found
out in the arm motion that with all
that mass, you don't move too much.
When your arm motioning - sh - with
your arms and you're unsu/ted, you
seem to move more thsm when you're
arm motion suited. That's kinda
funny that 's gonna be interesting
data to see. It may be that really
is the problem. I didn't think it was
 • o

D_mp Tape 230-01

/-_ Page i0 of 20

- a problem. Now you can'tkick out ,

very far because you got this
friendly little SOP on the foot.
So when it says kick out 45,
you only kick out about 10. Jack
suggested I kick back and I did that
and it seemed to do a little something
for me.

230 00 29 37 CDR Did you notice any motion inside the

suit during rotation or translation?
No, not particularly. Ah - probably
had same, Just didn't notice it. Ah -
I didn't think they were disturbing
or - ah - anything abnormal. That's
the way they're gonna be, I suspect.

230 00 29 50 CDR Did the LSU tend to get in the way?

No, it didn't. I never bumped into it.
It was always behind me somewhere.

230 00 29 57 CDR Was the absence of the LSU influence

noticeable during SOP operation?
You've got to be kidding with number 28 -
29 answer, you know the answer to that;
yeab, it was - it was noticeably -
happily noticeable.

230 00 30 50 CDR Did you inadvertelitly contact the

OWS? If so, how often? I found that
I did a couple of times, and both
times were on the food lockers and
the reason - Well_ I'll take that
back, even more than that. I found
that I as I made my translation
maneuver up to the banjo, I tended
to stay low and not go up high
enough. Ah - I'm not sure that wasn't
because normally when we operate in
here we operate from the floor to the
dame ring lockers or the floor right
up to the center. We had no reason
to go over in the dome area. And I'm
not sure that wasn't thr reason. Ah -
I ... on contact my ... Another one
was - ah - in the HH_ mode. I used my -

f_
 D_np Tape 230-01
_" Page ii of 20

ah - I contacted the thing a couple of •

times when the _nnbilical pushed me into
it. I also contacted it at the
end, up at the banjo because - I ran
out of - uh - ah - air. But - ah -
I didn't really wouldn't of had to have.

230 00 31 03 CDR Do you sometimes use yout legs or hands

to stop or push off? Well, I did a
couple of times today. You wouldn't
realize - I didn't too much.

2B0 O0 BI i0 CDR Desig_ features. Is automatic attitude

hold needed for the baseline maneuver?
No. It so was the solid feel, and absence
of deadband in the CMG MODE a significant
advantage? You bet, it was a great advan-
tage.

230 O0 31 _5 CDR Is proportional rate command needed?

No. If so, was the nonlinear RHC for
RATE GYRO MODE desirable? The answer
is yes, desirable. You don't need it
though.

230 00 31 36 CDR Is the 6 degree of freedom control

required? You bet; desired, you bet.
If not, which axis would you give up?
None of them. You'd be out of control.
The minute you gave up one, you're
through.

230 00 31 47 CDR Is proportional thrust level for the

HHMU needed? The HH_J needs to be canned,
it stunk.

2B0 O0 31 56 CDR OWS sidJest factors. Did you notice the

OW al - OWS air velocity perturbating
your translations? No. Your stationkeeping?
No.

230 O0 32 05 CDR Were attitude HHMU how - Were attitude

disturbances during the HHMU MODE due to
HHMU positioning bothersome? No. Didn't
notice it all.
_- Dt_p Tape 230-01
Page 12 of 20

230 00 32 lh • CDR Did the HHMU kick provide a usef_l que?

Yes, it did, just as before. It wasn't
bothersome in that it didn't move you,
but you could still feel it against your
hand' that's the difference in suited
and unsuited.

230 00 32 32 CDR Do you feel the HHMU thrust level is about

right? Yeah it's about right for suited
operation.

230 00 32 39 CDR Could you modulate the HHMU thrust level

as desired? No, my hands were tired.
Could have, but too damn much work.

230 00 32 47 CDR Did you normally command full HHM_ thrust?

You het_ and didn't keep it on too long
either.

230 00 32 52 CDR Did you sometimes command the wrong

d/rectlon? Sure I did; not too much
though.

230 00 32 57 Could you hear the HHMU thruster when suited?

Yes, very loud.'

230 00 32 02 Did you have any difficulty aiming the HHI_J?

You bet. Not only did I have difficulty
putting it where I wanted to, I didn't
know exactly where to put it. The CMG
was not where I _Jnought it was, but most
of all, I didn't know what the suit effects
were gonna be and nobody else is gonna
know either until their first time EVA.
Then they're gonna find out what they
thought they could fly turns into a
bucket or worms. And they're blasting
all over the place using up a]] their
gas and not getting anywhere, because
it's impinging off different parts of
their suit.

230 00 33 31 CDR Could you normally position the KHMU to

get translations without rotation? No.
_ D_np Tape 230-01
Page 13 of 20

230 00 33 36 CDR Did thruster impingement on you or the

ASMU produce a noticeable effect? Yeah,
we already discussed it. The main thing
is this, my training level had not decreased
in HHMU that much. Ah - I've been able
to fly it around here first two or three
times unsuited, as you can see. It's
a different ballgame suited.

230 O0 33 56 CDR EVA evaluation. Would you feel confident

flying an operational maneuvering unit
employing any one of the ASMU Sun end
and r_,turn? You bet, I think it'd be
fun to go back to the radiators and go
around and look at the quads A and B -
or - ah - quads B and D that we've got
problems with. I'd fly that thing out
there in a minute. It'd be great. Now
the thing that I think you'd want to have
is you'd want to simplii_j, and you'd
want to have scme backup modes in case
you had sc_ethrusterproblems. Now I
think you could probably develop it
simply by - sh - once again turning -
ah - turning the thrusters off, have
little switches there w.%ere you could
turn 'em off individually - the ones that
didn't work and hen you could fly to
some other degraied mode. Let's say
if somehow you lost the one for translation'
forward, you would turn it off, in case
it was stuck open, turn to the side
and yaw back. I think this could be
very simply done. I suggest a DIRECT MODE
and cut-off switches for each thruster.
And I think you could fly this thing
anywhere with no - no - ah - tether or
anything else.

230 O0 34 58 CDR R.nk the ASMU in order of preference

for the above task. Okay, DIRECT; simply
you could get more fuel and you could
also put any electronics you wanted on
it that you had for safety, like cutting
off individual thrusters and the like.
The next one would be the CMG MODE cause
it's so damn stable and so easy to fly.
• °

Dl_np Tape 230-01

Page 14 of 20

The last would be the RATE GYRO ; uses

lots of fuel, makes noise; it doesn't .
have any advantage, has a great disadvantsge
and that's - along with the RATE GYRO -
with CMG MODE, and that's you gotta
keep your hand out of the detent as long
as you want 'am - when you get to the
Sun end to work. You don't want to get
there and be tired.

230 O0 35 hi CDI_ Okay, do you feel the above task could

be accomplished with the HH_? No,
definitely not. It's risky. I would
not donsider it for l0 seconds. It is
a - a - ah - unacceptable safety - ah -
ah - configuration and definitely not
to be used. Ah - In my opinion - ah -
as I said it ... with a tether on of
about i0 or 15 foot long, not going anywhere,
Just holding it in your hands for the
public relations pictures is one thing,
__ trying to fly the littlething somewhere
is another. Ah - ah - ... would be - ah -
irrational, i think, to ever assign a
to a mission.

230 O0 36 2h Do you feel the op - okay - What sort of EVA

taska do you feel ASMU could be used
for? Now I didn't think of anything new
up here. Ah - except the one that I Just
gave - ah - yon go over and inspect things.
You got problems on your side of your
vehicle. You go over there, and if you'fe
got something you can fix it with, you go
over there and grab on, turn off the
HHMU and and work at the site. The HHMU on
your back doewn't bother you even though
th_s one's extremely heavy. It's not
bothers_ne. You can get there, you can
crawl hand over hand with the HHMU - does
not appeat to encumber you particularly
for work in front of you. You can do
so many things. We could have deployed
the twin pole sunshade with a HH_ -
wouldn't had to put out the pole. We'd
have gotten two pieces of line, , flown

out to the end of the ah - workshop,

hooked them on the end, come back and
run the - ah - the pulleys - and the run
the sail out. We coulda done it in - ah -
30 minutes instead of 3 hours. It'd
of been much safer, better, - better
design lighter and everything; Just Just
multiple tasks. But you've got to get
one the people don't have to train much
on, that you don't have to fool with,
that you don't have to crank up CMGs
RATE GYEO. You got to have one that you
can throw on your back and go. And that
means DIRECT. What sort of - I Just
mentioned. HHMU, no task, zero. Only
task I can - I won't even mention it.

230 00 37 44 CDR Do you feel that the ASMU if it was

EVA qualified could have been used for
the SL-2 CSM flyaround? No doubt about
it. What abouttle SAS deployment?
No, I think you could have used it to
fly out the SAS s_ud inspect it. Now
if that - They were able to use a pole
and get down ther_. Let's say they
could not have do%e that. You could have
flows up and grabbed on the side, turn
off your ASMU and work on it, made it
deploy. Any preference on modes? Sure,
DIRECT. With some cut-offs on each thruster.
Okay we've - wer_e gone over that thing.
Let me mention a couple of other things.
Ah - In fact, we've did fly the - ah -
pack with the - sh - backspace, in. That's
why I was standing so far away from it.
We took it off, flew it for Just a few
seconds - ah - without it - the only thing
I noticed was that the hand controller,
both translation and rotation, were
acceptable then and in the right position.
Everything else was precisely the same
as before. Ah - sh - Batteries stay
up much better than the - ah - We run
out of gas all the time, but usually
the battery is still up to about 27 or
so volts. We've never come near 26 volts -
 Dump Tape 230-01

that's even with CMGs a lot. Ah - •

I think the thing that you've got to do
for Jer is give him three bottles every
time.

230 00 39 04 CDR You've got to get rid of this HHMU balony

and - don't - don't use that word - let
me say you - you've got to get rid of this
HHH - HHMU works. It's Just - It'd be
like Ford, fooling with a unicycle and
spending research money to - ah - to see
if he could make a unicycle into something
that _verybody on the street can use
or even - one in a hundred. And it
Just - You could teach somebody to use
a unicycle, but why bother? And this
is - this is an expensove experiment in
time, safety, everything else, and we're
off doing something like that. We ought
to examine out heads. Ah - I think of
r any more, I'ii let you know. Been good;
we've been looking forward to - ah - flying
it again unsuited - an_ - ah - maybe
I can get around all the baseline maneuvers,
for you and do everything that's possible
with the three modes, and not the HHMU -
really think we're beating our heads against
the wall on that thing. I'd like to
fly with those other three modes and get
as much baseline "iata that you can use
to help you understand the behavior or
the RATE GYR0, CMGs, the DIRECT, the
pilot's ability and s]] those things.
And looking forwsrd to doing it. This
goes to - the M509 information goes to -
ah - Ed Whitsett, Lou Ramon, and Bruce
McCandless.

230 O0 hl 33 SPT Okay, debriefing the last ATM pass. This

information goes to the - sh ATM PIs
and planners. I ... about 00:30 And -
ah - there's a question about the - finding
the coronal hole and using the magnesium
pod to find the boundary. Ah - The answer -
/ -
- ° . - ° •

f_ • D_np Tape 230-01

Page 17 of 20

ah - as follows. I used ... magnesium

pod, specific viewing scope and the XUM
monitor. And - sh - that specific viewing
scope worked rather well to guide you in the
general direction of the - ah - eoronel
hole. And - ah - I also took a picture
with our Polaroid camera at the beginning
of the pass so I knew the general
outline, general shape of it and that
plus the specific viewing scope, I think -
ah - makes it fairly clear where to go to
find the - sh - coronel hole. Then I
was sllso surprised to find that a magnesium
lO count also - sh - a fairly short
boundary. I made s_ue comment about that -
ah - on the - ah - real-time - ah -
down-link, I believe. Let me give you
those coordinates again, however.

230 00 42 50 SPT Those coordinates - sh - ah - inside the

hole, where they magnesium l0 count
_- was only 4 or 5 countsfor eithertime
was plus 6_1, plus 333. T_nat's up/down
left/right. And by moving only about
50 arc seconds - ah - down to plus 591,
plus 333, we got and increase up to about
40 counts for either time. Now I noticed
later that the - ah - 55 mirror was in
position 2532, instead of being coaligned
with H-alpha. For 55 mirror about 80 arc
seconds - ah - below - ah - over the
coordinates that I Just - I Just read to
you. I took a few grating auto scans
as requested there. And found that it
certainly was possible to find boundaries
in this way; rather short boundaries
of magnesic_ lO. And JOP 15 Charlie l,
okay. I did not do JOP 7 as I'll need
a tes_ on real time if they come up again
cause I was uncertain, about the timeing.
There is no comment about whether I should
have been in C_4P or sun timing, the ST/SS
switch. There's about 30 seconds between
those two at the present time. Sometimes -
ah - more or less, but at the moment it's
about 30 seconds. And we did inhibit
dump. I wasn't sure whether that changed
Dump Tape 230-01
Page 18 of 20

any of these times. I didn'thave a

chance to - ah - look ahead and get that
clorified before we lost contact. The
•.. potentially ... the 82B cell. There
is - ah - a fair smount of film involved
in JOP 7. I- ah - elected to not attempt
JOP 7 and it served as a - sh - shopping
list 5 on the new active region
Just coming over the - ah - ... Again,
55 was aperture 25/32. So ... grating
auto scan, which I did ... consider
the information, I don't imagine. But
I got, 56 data and 82B put into my ...
time exposures rating UV on this newactive
region. So I hope you'll reschedule -
ah - JOP 7 again - ah - as soon as possible
and I'll - ah - give it another try here
and try to get clarifies - ah - on the

230 02 07 26 PLT Good evening, space fans, This is Jack,

on channel A, _ud the subject is ATM -
ah. This is the final pass today and -
ah - so first ofl, I'm gonna read you
the - ah - frame counter readings. How
I read these last night and somehow
they got lost and tun - tun - so here they
are tonight for sure. H-alpha was 4835;
S056, reading 2471; and SO82A is reading
85; S082B, 379; SO52, reading B133, S05_,
reading 3019.

230 02 08 12 PLT Now I want to debrief the last run. This

is the Olll rev. I thought I had me
a perfect day going on the ATM til I got
on this and - ah - the thing that happened
to me was that I reversed the roll. I
started out at minus 5_00 instead of
10800 and - ah - I - ah - noticed that -
ah - Just after I started out at minus 5400
- °

Dump Tape 230-01

/_ Page 19 of 20

instead of 10800 and - ah - I - ah -

noticed that - ah - Just after I started
this time In lieu of going back and
starting all over again, why - ah -
I was deep enough into it where I didn't
wamt to - ah - commit any more exposures
ah - and - ah - Just waste them. So -
ah - I maintained - ah - a roll of minus 5hO0
for a building block iA. And - ah - then
I did my roll to minus - ah - 10800 for -
ah - building block ah - 1B - And - ah -
the only thing I did different in building
block 1B was - ah - I decided S052 guy
wouldn't care too much for a bunch of
continous exposures and ah - and the wrong
roll was - ah - the best part of this
corona going behind the pylon. So - ah -
I didn't do the - ah - continous mode
on lB. Instead what I did was to - ah -
complete IB for everybody else then I -
ah - ah - rolled back to - ah - planet
5h00 - and - ah - I gave S052 the - ah -
about h or 5 minutes worth of continous
At the samt time I ran a grating _ato sca.
Now - ah - I guess the only inconvenience
it causes is - sh - in - ah - rotating
your pictures 90 degrees - ah when the
data's reduced except for the - ah -
S082 guy where - ,-hich is ... of - Just
facing the wrong direction. Although
he has - ah -phctographs on - ah - two
photographs on each sode of the roll.
So - ah - although they're different - ah -
exposure times - ah - hopefully he won't
be - ah - suffering too bad on account
of - ah - the blunders that I made there
So - ah - I tried to recoup it as best
I could - ah - without wasting frames.

230-02 i0 h2 PLT Okay, so - s/% - after that - ah - I

had already done my shopping list item 13
earller today. But I was back and picked
up s_nethlng I had been unable to get,
for which I had substituted that item iS.
That was the - ah - J0P 5 building block 6A,
back in - sh -rev was starting at 2029.
Dump Tape 230-01
Page 20 of 20

And my roll had pointed to the quarter

that _ ah - Owen had penciled in here.
And I went ahead and I completed your
step - ah - as you had requestedit, ,
step 3, that is, building block 6. And
that came off s_ud I got that off all 'era
time. So we've been able to complete
that. So With the exception of a little
bit of inconvenience on the part of some
of your data reduction and a little bit
of depredation on S082A_ well, I think
we recouped the thing all right. We came
out okay for tod_y. And I promise to do
it perfect tomorrow.

230 12 58 47 PLT Good morning, space fans. This is Jack

on Channel A. Subject is ATM. Debriefing
the last run, which began at 12:15.
I ran of the - uh - 27-minute mark
for shopping list item 16. I - uh -
searched around for the - uh - gap
in the lim brightening in the XUV
monitor and the persisten image s_ope.
And, I found a place near - h -
where you suggested and - uh -
started the - uh - experiment going.
About - uh - 6 minutes after - uh -
starting them I - uh - found
what I th6ught to be a better place,
and - uh - since uh since they
weren't but a couple of exposures,
I decided to stop it to - uh - repofnt.
And so I did; I - uh - pointed to what
appeared to me to be a - uh - a better
break in the limb brightening. There
actually were two bre_s in the llmb
brightening and - uh - I selected the
F one - uh - which I - _h - have photographed;
however, I'm - uh - not satisfied it was
the best one.

230 13 00 i0 PLT I feel there's anotheL" one there which

would be equally good or better, and I
• hope that if time pernits later on in
the day, I'll be able to go - uh - back
and - uh - get that because we wanna
make sure we - uh - cover the waterfront
On that - uh - particularly since - uh -
I've only taken a couple of exposures.
In - uh - searching axound for the - uh -
it took me a little Icnger time to find
the - uh - and search around for the -
%_h - the - uh - break in the limb
brightening than I had hoped it might
so I was unable to complete - uh the
seeon@ - the second shopping list item
number - 16 which begins at i0 minutes
prior to the end of rev.

220 13 00 53 PLT And so - uh -my plan is to - uh -

f

attempt - uh - later in the day - uh -

go back and - uh - pick that item up as
well as to - uh - give you a better shot
of the - uh - second - uh break in
limb brightening - to uh reach the - uh -
the other break in the llmb brip_htenin_ -
uh - which I would l_ke to cover, I would
have to - ub - roll about 20 degrees
counterclockwise, so - uh - there are
two spots there - uh - which - uh -
seem to meet the requirement, and - uh -
I'd llke to get both of them.

220 13 01 29 PLT That - uh'- concludes the - uh -

debriefing on 12:15 rev and - uh -

properly. The latch is no good.

" 230 16 26 05 SPT , Now on to guide n_ber 2, having to

do with the parameters of the wardroom.
_ I mentioned Just briefly all sorts of
..... again today. N@z SPT's stuff is
over there between the - uh - PLT and
• CDR. He has to - to transfer across
them or around them to or something
_r every time he gets his food out. It
would be a lot simpler if he had the
_. plane where he eats. Uh, of course
• you all need one place to dispose of it,
and t_ere's no way to get around that.

f

230 16 27 43 SPT Waste management compartment, ceiling/floor

proximity - all that stuff is satisfactory. •
I think it is satisfactory to have the
floors to come out as far apart as they
are. Ingressegress are okay.

230 16 27 56 SPT Sleep, trash collect - sleep compartment -

all that looks reasonably good. However,
all the stuff that you need to have stowed,
you need to have little compartments
or cubbyholes or things for it. It's
a nice Job packing all that amount of
clothes into that little tiny spot, but
every t_me you pull out one, why you pull
out a whole fist full. We need to have a
spot where we could stow things. There's
that one big locker up at the top that's
got Velcro around the sides, but I think
it would be bettwe if it %_re divided it
into four - four smaller compartments or
at least two or three compartments so
that various things could be put inside
them. And we also need to have, - uh -
Velero tied to those things that need to
go into them. For example - no - uh, for
example, that can of, uh, 133 equipment
with the large, - uh -"uh, syringe and
needle and stuff. _ll that stuff is
floating around in there, and I 're had
to Just tape it down. It should have had
some Velcro attache(, so that you could
put the stuff where it went - where it -
where it belongs.

230 16 27 59 SPT Experiment compartment rates with pretty

good.

230 16 28 04 SPT Forward area dc_e - it's obviously not

arranged for anything in particular.
It's Just a big volmne. If you're
gonna do flyaround excercises, why you
need that volume. If you were going
to do experiments or sumething like
that, for the most part, why its very
inefficiently arranged. There's no
resson to have that big nolle. It's
Dram@ Tape 230-03
Page 3 of 3

fun from the staudpoint of arobatics.

It allows you a little room to do •
tumbling, flips, rolls, and dives
and so forth, but it's not functional
from the standpoint of making good use
of the volume.

230 16 28 32 SPT The airlock is arranged satisfactorily -

no complaints. Noise levels are all
satisfactory everywhere. Illumination
is _11 too low. Uh - we need, I would
thing, few places where we could get a
higher illlrm_uation for any sort of
fine work that's necessary. We don't
have all that much reading to do, but
occasionally there are a few things
that require close ex,m_nation, b_a -
working on same device or something of
that nature, and - uh- we don't have
any locations llke that without bringing
down one of those portable lights and
sticking it over where you want. So
maybe that's the solution actua]ly. It's
a lot of botherto go bringone of
those big lights around. At the moment
the illumination levels are all low.
They're adequate except for fine work.

230 17 38 25 PLT Okay, space fans: this is Jack on

channel A. Debriefing the last ATM
runs. The last run was !6h4 run, 16h4.
That's rated uh - JOP 9 is, - uh -
JOP 15A is 15A twice, step 25. They
came off - uh - about the way you wanted
them. In fact, exactly the way you wanted
them. I used the, uh, same pointing
coordinates that, - uh - AI had, - uh -
had set up in the - uh - in the - uh -
previous rev. Roll of 10800 down to
minus 1.9 and right to a plus a fourth
count five. Okay, now I have some time,
at the e_d of the rev, to - uh - go hack
and pick up something that I didn't earlier.
It's on rev number 1. I had earlier
given you a little conversation about,
uh, brightening the - uh - uh - gap in
the lighting around the limb on the XUV
monitor from - uh - the 1215 rev. This
concerns the shopping list item ntmber 6,
which I pointed out that there were, uh,
two gaps, - uh - in that area and - uh -
-P I had thought that prehaps - uh - the
other gaps that, uh, other than the one
that I picked, would also have been a
good one to go to. And - _h - discussing
with 0wen and looking at the XUV monitor
and - uh - at photographs on the XUV MON,
why, uh, we decided Chat the, uh, the gap
in the limb brightening that was selected
in - uh - shopping list, item 16 on the
first rev was - uh - uh - very much
acceptable and probably better than the
other one anyway. At the conclusion
of the, - uh - rev this time, I had to
time it. They said they go back and
to - uh - uh - pick up - uh - the part
that I missed on the first rev. Namely
the, - uh - shopping list item 16 which
starts at - uh - lO minutes remaining.
So that's what I did. I went back to
the, - uh - same pointing coordinate. I
roll about subcenter a little bit, in order
to, - uh - get something on our background

/
 Dump Tape 230-04
Page 2 of 2

conditions which went near the gap, -

uh - into the slit and also into the •
field of view of S055 and, - uh - uh -
I, uh - preceeded to, uh, put 56 in
the filter four and so forth and, uh,
I wasn't able, quite, to get a, uh,
8 minute exposure. I got 7 minute and
38 seconds before the, uh, ESF got it,
but I think you'll find that acceptable.
So - uh - we have completed, - uh -
the first rev, - uh - in regards to coronal
hold ntmlber B, as - uh - you had requested.
Uh - if I do ever get time again I'll -
I would .like to go back to that same area
and pick up - uh - another frame on
the - uh - second gap on the limb
brightening in that area. If I do I
will - uh - if I do get time I'ii put
feed back down and do that. Otherwise -
uh - that concludes the briefing -
debriefing on - uh - 1644 rev and -
uh - looks llke we're all up to date
and - uh - we'll catch you next time
_-- around. Thanks a lot fellows.

230 20 52 h5 PLT Okay. Well, we can take a look in on this

scene and see what's going on in Skylab
today. We've been here about 22 days now and
this is our first real day off. We have to
accomplish a few chores that - uh - have
been outstanding for sometime. We had
thought we would show you one of them. You
notice we have here Captain Alan Bean getting
a haircut. A1 is the commander of this
flight, the leader of this mob. Every
mob's got a leader, you know. _he guy who's
working on him is 0wen Garriott, mad scientist,
disting_shed professor, from Oklahoma.

230 20 5h 37 PLT Yeah. Well, what's going on here? We

thought we'd show you a few scenes from
Skylab. Here it is the 22nd day of
flight. It's our - uh - first real day
off and we thought we would show you one
of the things that goes on in here on a
day off. We've needed haircuts for quite
a while, so that's what's going on. Here's
Captain Alan Bean who is the - uh - the
leader Of this mod. Every mob has a leader
and - uh - distinguished professor and
math scientist, Owen Garriott, trimming his
hair. Doing pretty well too. He's a
flicking off the hair up with that little
blower up there. I might show you the tools
of the trade used in Skylab, much like you
might use on Earth - a little comb with a
razor in it. It seems to be working quite

well. It's Just a plain old hair comb. We

also have some bandage shears, which - they
come out later when we have to patch him up.
Well, I can see it's not going to be a
professional job, but there's no waiting
when the price is right.

230 21 04 40 PLT Well, here we are again, space fans. We

thought we'd drop back an - uh - see how it
goes after a while. It looks like - uh - it's
getting cut pretty short. A1, of course,
has always had his hair trimmed rather short.
In fact, in the Navy they used to call his
"skin head." Now we call him Captain. 0wen
is doinga greatJob. See we have all the
comforts of the modern barbershop; music in the
background. We're doing this in the - uh -
waste management compartment. Thought it
would be less of a mess this way. One of the
advantages, of course, of - uh - having your
hair cut in zero g i_ that you don't have
to sweep the floor. The hair doesn't fall
down. It doesn't even get on your shoulders.
It gets up in the a_r sometimes and you Just
vaccum it up like this. That's what I'm
doing - catching thi_ loose hair with the
vaccum cleaner. Doing a nice Job, Owen. You
might wonder why ge chose Owen to do this
Job.

at the finished product - and see how its
going. Boy' That's a real improvement,
Owen. You did a great Job. A1 - looks like
that ought to last you a couple or more
weeks. We've got - uh - uh - another 5 or
6 weeks to go. Looks like Owen is next. You
may wonder why I'm wearing this funny cap.
You may think it's for communication. It's
not though. It's for protection.

230 21 38 h0 SPT Okay, this is the SPT talking about

v the last orbit. We did find the sec-
ond bright spot. It was much brighter
than the - uh - first bright spot used
which - uh - faded from a peak and sen-
sitivity of say 1500 and detector gray grat-
in view. In other words optical 6, down
to about 300 or so by the end of that
orbit - second orbit. I drafted completely
the building block II and i0. I then -
uh Just - uh picked up another bright 'spot -
uh - and ran a building block ii and a
modified i0. Its intensity was about
1500 counts. Pretty good at times. And
it was also - uh - perhaps worth noting,
that its physical location was off the end
a filament at H-alpha. There was no
H-alpha signature, but it was - say an
arc minute or so away from the silament.
More or less - uh -in the direction the
end of that filsment, - uh - suggesting
the possibility that it might be along
the - uh - magnetic neutral line itself.
f- And - uh - whetherthat'strue for
bright spots in general or even this one
in particular, I don't know, but it - uh -
uh - did appear to be related to the fila-
ment since it was along the extension of
the f_lament llne. End of message to the
ATM PIs and planner_.

230 22 17 19 PLT Hello space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

The subject is ATM debriefing on the
past run, - uh - number - beginning at -
uh - 21:2_. Ran off everything Just there -
uh -Just the way you like it. %'e - uh -
looked at the - uh - XUVmonitor - uh -
for the - uh - for the - uh - per - per-
sistant scope -persistant image scope,
and decided that your - uh - coordinates
had to be changed a little hit. We re-
versed all the signs, of course, 10,800, -
uh - minus 259, and a plus 558 for - uh -
 Dump Tape 230-06
_ Page _ of 4

bright, but - uh - we changed the - uh -

up/down to a minus 70 because it appeared
to both Owen and myself that the - uh -
55 - uh - would not be - uh - taking data
in the coronal hole ff we took the coordi-
nates you gave us and so we - uh - moved
up a little bit. We - uh - attempted to -
uh - check out the position with the uh -
uh - number 3 detector near the end of the
run, but - uh - weren't able to get it
because we were too close to two parts
of the sunset. But we're confident
after looking through the persistant im-
age scope that - uh - we improved the
pointing, as far as the coronal hole was
concerned. So, the numbers we're going
with - uh - are: 10,800 roll, up/down mi-
nus 70, and right/left is plus 558. And
we'll he checking in with you on the next
rev,

230 22 20 06 CDR Stand by. I'll float down. No, you Just
keep doing anything. You run the ,..
r blockers, dive, stand in the middle, Just
do whatever you want. Just don't get
going too fast, so we won't bump into
each other.

230 22 20 17 CDR Do whatever you llke. Oh, yeah, we take

turns. I'ii - uh - I'll come down here -
soon as I take my thing off, I'll come
over here and, and kind of shine on
whom ever is doing something, with the TV,
try to hold it steady. And - and - uh -
after a few minutes, somebody - less than
a few minutes - somebody come over there -
there to replace me, and the other one in
a little while. So everybody get a
chance to do it. Just keep doing it, and
we'll get enough. I'm on A channel record.

230 22 20 h9 CDR Okay, go to VTR ON. You ready.

230 22 21 14 CDR You're now inside - uh - the experiment

compartment of our Skylab space station.
You can't tell it when you're inside, but
we're going 18,000 miles an hour and we're
270 miles above the Earth. We go around
 Dump Tape 230-06
. Page .3 of 4

once every 93 minutes. But when you're

inside things are different. As you
can see, I'm floating. I'm not touching
anywhere. Uh - that's one of the things
that makes space sort of interesting.
It not only makes it interesting when
you're doing your scientific work, llke
we do on these medical experiments, not
only makes it interesting when you're
sleeping, like we do in the compartment
behind you, or in the wardroom, or the
head, but it's interesting when your
time's off and you got a little free
time on _our own. If you'll go upstairs,
we'll go upstairs now, let's take a look
at - uh - ome of the things we can do,
with zero gravity, when we're trying to
relax, take it easy.

230 22 22 08 CDR This compartment is much bigger than

below. It's larger than a large room
in a - your house.

•f 230 22 22 40 CDR No, it's okay. He'll get it mounted.

Think I'll take time out and make it
right.

230 22 23 i0 CDR As you can see, it's a very big room. ,

It's about 20 feet in diameter and it's
even higher from the hole in the command
module down to the hole in the floor.
So there's a lot of things you can do.
For example, you can push out of the
hole in the co_-_nandmcdule, from the
c_mmand module area, and perform rolls
or tumbles all the way down to the floor.
You can go as fast as you like or as slow
as you like. We've got 25"stowage lockers
around the periphery of the vehicle.
And if ou give yourself a little
push, the same forces that will slide
your car to the outside of a turn, will
give you some traction so that you can
run around these lockers.

230 23 55 53 CDR Okay, here we are back in Skylab.

We're above the earth now, 270 miles,
and we're going 18,000 miles an hour.
And it's time to clean up. We've
had same hard days up here, "we worked
hard. Normally we take a - ih - a

washrag, in w_st_ _r,mpr_tment there
but it's Saturday night and I think it's
time to take a shower. So Jack's
gonna give us one. Let me zhow you how
we do it. First of _ll, we gotta get
some water from some,_nere. We use this
device right here. _'t's not unlike a
squirter that you h_.ve on your f_m_ ly
sink. Matter of fact, this nozzle
design was taken from a fsm_ly sink
squirter. You push the trigger the
water comes out. Okay, how about some
soap, Jack, you're gonna need that.

PLT Got some right here.

230 23 56 44 CDR Okay, here's some soap. It's

special. It won't clog up the
filters. We catch every bit of the
water, put it back in a bag and
throw it out into the spacecraft
down inside the big tank below us.
This soap is a special kind. Push
here and comes out there. It's a

f- liquiddetergent.
 Dump Tape 230-07
P_ge 3 of ._

230 23 58 01 CD% And then lastly, how do you get

the water off of you? We got a
vacuum-cleaner type syringe. Got
a suction on it, water will come
off Jack down to here and into a
bag. So his procedure is this.
Ee's gonna get inside, bring up
his shower, then he's gonna
use the squirter to get wet, soap,
vacuum to get dry. And wet, vacuum
wet, vacuum, umtil he's used up all
the water he's got, which is up in
this little tank right here, which
is about three quarts. So, we'll
leave Jack to his own devices, here.
Don't forget to to take off your
clothes, Jack. Leave Jack to his
own devices and see how it comes
out.

230 23 58 05 CDR We'll be back in a few minutes

to see how it's doing. Okay,

SPT ... Which one? Okay.

231 Ol 23 20 CDR Okay, spaeefans here we are again.

Jack is just finishing up his
shower. Let me start that again.
Here we are, spacefans. Jack is
- Just finished his shower, he's
taken quite a long time, roughly
- roughly 35 minutes. He's - it
did/%'t take that long to wash,
because he's washing not only
himself but the inside of the
container so the water won't all
get out when he pulls the down.
It Just takes time. Come on out,
Jack. How did it feel?

PLT Great ...

CDR Great. (laughter) I want to

congratulate you, too, on your
new record - world record-breaking
shower. (Laughter) It took 35
minutes which is - really is
about 15,000 miles, so I think
he's taken the longest shower
in the history of the world.

consolation to you. You look

been 35 minutes and - uh - Jack is - hasn't
spent most of that time washing - he spent
a good percentage of it wiping up the water
that had been inside. Not wiping up, but
using the vacuum. Uh - He first vacuumed
himself as you recall, 2 or 3 times and
then he came and vacuumed the inside of
the - uh - of the tank. So how's it doing
in there, Jack?

231 13 50 27 PLT Okay, space fans; this is Jack on

Channel A. Debriefing the last ATM
run, which - uh - began at - uh -
12:54. We got some'TV down-links to
make up my observing time. We ran
off the - uh - next three building
blocks, Just as everybody had hoped
we might. And I _ot that completed.
So there's no unusual - nothing
unusual _o report there. As I mentioned
on the TV down-link _!ready, that I saw
a very, very tennuous, faint prominence
at 050 extending approximately 60 arc
seconds off the llmb. Wewere able to
Just barely detect it here by sharpening
up our contrast hrighterer. Apparently
it was too faint for you to get with
your ground equipment. We'll keep
_ watching that. One other thing I 're
noticed - uh - is in the corona. I
daily - in the morning making a sketch
on our transparant sketching disk, a
sketch of the corona. And nnless I
missed it yesterday, there appears to
be a - a - uh - sort of a brightening
at about 300 on the - on the Sun. The
brightening that I did not record
yesterday, it looks like it may develop
into a - a ray. It is - uh - more
northerly than the pronounced ray that's
been at 270 for some time. This one
is - uh - approximately, as I said,
east northeast or BOO on the Sun.
Just a little brighter.ing and a
extension out into the corona and - uh -
we'll keep watching it and make some
pics ef it. Perhaps it'll develop into
something - uh - uh - that we haven't
seen before, in the last few days.

note for the - uh - ATM world. I
noticed when the Sun went down this
time that 82A - uh - door's tailback

I already tried that and it worked.

231 14 Ol 25 SPT Okay, transcriber, please cut out my

last remark. I forgot I was on
channelA - in RECORD- so it could
be amitted: stud scratched 9r_m the
record. I gotta figure out what's
going on here.

231 14 04 57 SPT Okay, here's the debriefing of the

attempt of S063 for Drs. Packer and
Wally Teague and Jack Lew in Johnson
Spacecraft Center. I Just have been
set up for S063 in an attempt to
photograph the - uh - twilight horizon
with Nikon 02, film cassette BV-13.
I have the timer all set up. After we -
st - managed to get the windows opened
and s]] aligned, I found that there was
no convenient place to mount the bracket.
I simply had to go handheld on the thing.
And then, in putting the timer on, it
may have been that the knob on the back
of the camera body was slightly out of
position T. It was not over into C,
which I believe means continuous, but it

f .
-- Dt_p Tape 231-03
Psge 3 of 3

might have beenslightly out of T.

And when I turned the timer on, the
camera went into a continuous cycling.

231 lh 06 16 SPT Now, I only had about i0 frames left

to begin with, and by the time I had
it stopped, it was essentially at the
"end of the film. So, therefore, I had
no film remaining from the cassette
Bravo Victor-13, with which to take any
photographs. Therefore, we're writing
this run has been - uh - unsuccessful.
And I would like to have it rescheduled
ags/n at the next opportlmlty. And for
231 lh 06 51 SPT the flight planners, I would like to
have a bit more time for preparation for
S063. I think - uh - I hurried too much
this morning, although that was not a factor
in my - uh - messing up the opportunity.
Uh - We'll Just have to reschedule it and
do it again right the next time. And with
information for the S063 PIs, Wally Les4_ue,
and Jack Lew.

231 14 07 31 SPT Message out.

231 14 19 28 SPT Okay, SPT, recording on channel A, with

additional information for S063 PIs and
the - uh - Wally League, Jack Lew. Uh -
with Nikon pl - uh - still using the old
cassette CXI2, whicl we intend to change
out promptly, uh, there may be about - uh -
six or eight colore0 photographs of the
sunrise. Uh'- They were done - uh - at
infinity, f/l.2, and either 1-second or
i/2-second - uh - exposure - uh - with -
uh - no filter on the front and the -
uh - 55-millimeter visible lens. So -
uh - we'll take a loc,k on this cassette,
to see if we managed to get any.

Has_elblad, which is the only thing
I used, will be - uh - much better
information then that which I mm
able - uh - to relste - uh - verbally.
Uh - for example, I couldn't see
that there was any particular depression
to the - to the Andes. Although it did
look llke - uh - tLe terrain was fairly
low - uh - with - uh - a couple of
ridges extending east-west. Uh - the
canyons - uh - near the Santa Cruz
River, did not' particularly unique. Its
Just that the terrain c_e fairly rapidly
from the Andes, apparently. The cloud
pattern that - uh - was, as I mentioned
before, principally to the - uh - west
of the Andes with relatively little
clouds to the - uh - east side of
the Andes.

231 16 41 48 SPT Pardon me.

231 16 42 03 SPT On the - uh - uh - sighting a waterfall

we took that there did appear to be a
fair -mount of the land that had - uh -

washed down out of the mountains,

and could be seen - uh - as a brownish
coloring as it - ul_ - ran out into
the ocean .... Santa Cruz River hut
from several of the other rivers
around there also. And looks like
there might have been a flow pattern
from Pacific into the Atlantic also.
I don't'know whether that - uh - flow
reverses itself everyday or whether
or not there's sort of continuous
flow with the current. But it looks E
like there might have been a flow o
from the Pacific toward the Atlantic _q
to the Strait. And - uh - that's about -_
_L
,,11 the visual information I have to ,_
report. Uh - the photographs I took
before - uh - should be quite a bit
better. And I did slip over %o - un -
the other STS window - uh - ... it
will be number 4, I think. Uh - took
one photograph - uh - up to the north
along the - uh - ... to the Argentina,

231 16 50 21 CDR Okay, this is the CDR brief - debriefing

ATM run. Uh - I started a little bit
before 6, at sunrise as I mentioned to
you on, by the way, this is for the
ATM science troup. Start - uh - before
detected surnise. I got a quit doing
that ... Uh - and - uh - I started
a little bit before sunrise. I Just kept
x_,nn_ug - uh - on the advice of y',33
and the Cap Comm, as you know. Every-
thing else went normal. I went down
at - uh - 82A. We're shooting wavelength

shortage experiment _0 seconds. And I

think in one case, somewhere in there,
I made an exposure that was not 40 seconds
long but was in fact probably 20 seconds
Dm_p Tape 231-05 .....
Page 3 of 3

'long. This clock counts backwards

up here and when I subtracted 30, I
then subtract another 10. And - uh -
I went around the wrong way mentally
on %he clock. So, for example, if I
start at 45 and counted down to 15, I
should have stopped at 5, but I made
it - let it go 15, 20, 25, so I stopped -
at 25. 'So actually we got 20 second
exposure. But you'll be able ... that.
I think the rest of it went real well.

you know he side saddles whenever he
pushes one leg down the whole thing is
not stable or rigid to his body and the
straps really don't seem to do the Job.
All I can do is try to tighten them
up some more, AI. I'll try to tighten
up these straps a little bit. The straps
are a lousy arrangement, they - uh - keep coming
loose. The whole harness is - uh - loose all
the way, it Just keeps loosening up, the
clamps and the buckles don't hold. Now,
AI, the reason I wanted to keep you there
- - while I moved the TV, I Just wanted to get
it out of the way. I can't afford to
lose that m-r4y. Put it over here by the

bit to - uh 1 - face - uh I- the workshop hatch -
Just doing dind of a - uh - of a free - free maneuver
- now he's pitchin' up again, he's gradually
floating up he's in the plane of the dome locker.
You know, where there's - uh - ... parallel to
the - the - uh - the - crew quarters - to the
workshop hatch; he's grabbin' on to the handle
hold up there. Okay, now he's stabilizing himself
up by the worksho p hatch with his feet pointed
down toward the crew quarters hatch, facing the
food lockers and he's gonna perform a translating
- in uh - in this direct - that's toward the food
lockers and me. Here he comes ; he's translating
downwards and very slowly but surely. You can
see the maneuvering wiggling around on him a little
bit as he puts his foot controller inputs in. But
_" he's - uh - controlling them completely with his
feet, leaving his hands free to grab or touch
whatever he - uh - is going to or whatever he's
carrying. On his back he has - uh - a battery
which - uh - runs the solenoid valve - uh - for
the - uh - for the propellant supply and uh - also
has a bottle of nitrogen on his back which - uh
which gives the thrust for the - for the thrusters.
Uh, the next m_nuever is a - uh longitudinal dogleg.

231 21 49 29 PLT Okay, the light's on. And I read your pressuer
to 1999 PSI so there's still plenty of gass in
the bottle. Okay, uh - we're supposed to be finished
with thsi. I 'm supposed to be doing coolant loop
inspection at uh - 22:30 which is ho minutes from

time to uh - secure this thing. So, I'd say, what?
20 more minutes.

SPT ...

231 21 50 13 PLT Okay, we can change out the bottle you know. Oh,
these uh straps are - straps are no good for this

here. I move the DAC - and do it in this manner -
eomncect the power cable from the left hand DAC
the FMU DAC. Okay s T _me over here - tufa off
that television, take these painful goggles off
for a minute. I get" the cable from this DAC
- here - don't do it. I'll plug it in there - Oka'[,
connect power cable uh DAC uh - 2.8 feet per
sixtyth 2.8 - that's E.8 - 60th set - 1/60th
set - and 24 frames a second. Man, we're really
gonna burn up the film on this one. Okay, we
stand about 6 feet from the ASMU, a_m the DAC at
ah - AS_ between uh - the feet - photograph your
foot movement - I do at ra - must do it the right
here, huh? What did you say? l_ight here. I
don't remember Lou ever showing me that• What?
Okay, get your feet down llke this• L_ke so. Can
you do that? Not much to grab an, is there? Okay,
uh - perform the uh - oh boy okay, per - here's
what you're gonna do 5 each of the plus and minus
roll, pitch and yaw. 5 each of plus and minus

231 21 59 h4 PLT Okay, he's doing - his uh - foot controller input

so we're taking pictures of it. Cam see the uh

that. Now he's doing the toe down maneuver.

Now he's doing the uh - translation. That it?
Okay, that's the end of the foot controller input.
I conncect the power cable back here. And uh - I
come OVer her, try to let loose of all these wires
that are floating around, and uh - I reset thsl
DAC to a different seting again. Ouch! Ah, excuse
me there space fans. We're through. Make sure
there's not any more of that metal. Okay, that's
it, at uh - probably go back to 2 - I go back to
uh - F2, set 5 feet to the 60th. Crawl back in here
and close the circuit breaker. Okay, when I close
the circuit breaker, up here - right there - and
uh - we had a thousand pounds there. Now you
can uh - I take three PA - PAO type photos with a
Nikon and you fly any maneuver desired. And we use
the FCMU DAC only. We don't only use the other one.
What's suggested is to uh - fly uh - M509 type touch
and go maneuver - fly around dome lockers is
optional. I described the maneuvers being performed.
After that why we turn off the FCMU and the DAC and
uh - use the subJectiTe rating form. And the
hour now is 30 minute_ from my next performance,
/_ and probably from yours.

CDR ...

231 22 02 hi PLT Yeah. Right. From _here to here? Oh, heek. Thai
vertical strap is all - all _oofed up, too. I'm
tellin' you, this is a crmmny strap arrangement.
Okay, I guess this go_s back in here. It comes
loose every time you move. Okay. Let me get the
handles up for you.

CDR What ?

PLT Want me to get the handles up for you in the

downing station. Watch head. Yeah. Yeah. Okay
we're getting ready to use your DAC to do this,
so don't forget to tul_ it on. Oh, you can turn it on
any time you're ready to go.

a minute. Yeah. You're right. Did I miss

that or ain't that in there? Must be in there;
Lou wouldn't forget that. I thought I was
gonna find it without a mistake. It's another one
of those mistakes that uh - didn't uh - cost
anything. By gosh, it ain't in here, Lou. Okay,
there he goes. From the M509 release the handle
bars. He stabilized himself. He's yawing to his
right. Now he's completely yawed over the crew
quarters hatch, and he's looking up at the banjo,
on his way to the banjo. Okay, he's doing pretty
well uh - he's on his back now uh - lookin'
straight up the workshop hatch - CDR Just about
3 feet from the dome lockers - You're getting
too close to the dome lockers. Okay uh - now you
gotta thrust up. Stay away from the overage food
- okay now he's pitchin himself uh - down. But he's
near vertical with the workshop now. He's yawed
a little bit to his left now he's uh - approaching
the ... area.

231 22 06 ll PLT Okay, he's hanging onto the banjo for dear life,
And the kid is all snarled up in his danged
umbilical. Here he comes, space fans. IFn? C_%
him! On his way down. Stuff blowin' all over.
Okay, he's on his left side now. He's ellheading'
toward the FMU - he's uh - still uh - he's in
about the plane of the uh - dome lockers or water
t,n_ arears for the moment. Looks like he's
translating okay. And uh - he's coming head down uh
facing FMU 2 uh - looks like uh - he's
comfortable. The observer is wandering around
getting a few photos. Tryin' to stay out of his
own - might keep from hanging himself on his own
rope. Okay, he's on FMU 2. He's thrusting away
from there now. Alqd he's tranlating directly
upward in the workshop, but now yawing to his left.
His position's vertical. Now he's gonna bang uh -
water tank 5 over there with his right foot. And
the dome locker above it. He's uh - he's having
trouble getting away from there. Okay, uh - looks
like he's doin' a little better now = his straps
keep cnmlag loose. He's fae down - Okay, uh -

231 22 09 51 PLT Okay, uh - he drifted over and grabbed on to h14,

Kind of a random, unplanned maneuver here uh -
having trouble uh - getting himself uh - on the
way to where he wants to go and uh - kinds drifting
around making corrections. Now he's going back to
FMU 2 to start over again to see if he can do any
better from there. He's uh - in a position 2 over
there. Now he's Just pushed himself off with his
hands in the general direction of h04. Let's see
if he can uh - correct himself on the way over there.

SPT ...

CDR You have no axis control .... one axis.

231 22 l0 59 PLT Okay, the thing that's getting to him now is he

only has 1 axis translation - up and down and
that's it, and uh - what's happening there is he's
trying to get out and go where he wants to go,
but he can only do it in one axis. Hold yourself
there, A1; don't move. Hang on. I'll unt-ngle
you and get that dang thing out of the way. Getting
,/_ all fol_l_d up in wires and stuff.

231 22 ii 34 PLT Okay, you're free now. Let me get this out of here.
C_ay, he let himself loose; he's in the middle of
the dome. Where you going to, AI?
L_R ...

231 22 12 49 PLT Now he's floating free and loose again - and uh -

CDR ...

231 22 13 01 PLT Okay. Okay he's going to work in the lower area
and try to uh - we - w_ 're getting in trouble
down here. Can't get to where he wants to go is
the problem.

he says.

231 22 13 46 PLT He says as far as going places are concerned, he

likes the HHMU better because he can at least go
somewhere. The roaching nearly - as far as holding
attitude is contro - is concerned, uh - foot
controlled manuevering until is better because he
can - hold his attitudes the way he wants to, but
he can't go anywhere.

231 22 14 16 PLT So for uh - translation uh - going places uh - if -

the foot controlled maneuvering unit is better
than HHTMU, but that ain't saying much. Look at
the camera and smile, (Laughter). Okay, three he
goes; he's uh - pitchin' up - he's trying to fly
up to the banjo area again. He's translating up
there slowly. He had luck going there before.
Okay, he made it to the banjo. End of film light
on the DAC in there, A1; you might as well turn it
off. Okay, we had end of film light on the DAC.
It's the uh - uh - FCMU - I don't how much film
is left on this other one. It's probably quite
a bit, so there's no point in _inn_ug it off.
Yeah, we've got a hal_° a load in this other one -
_ dome camera; we'll uh - not take any more with it,
as suggested in thc pro=_dure.

231 22 16 03 PLT Even with the peanuts out of the way. You gotta
come closer. Ccme or down to me, if you can. We')l
you've got to be closer; you don't fill the picture.
That's better. Got ya, feet first. Okay, he's
pitched down now. The long axis is in the plane w_th
dc_e lockers. He's looking at the uh - downing -
M509 downing station like he wants to go there,
Head in that direction, A1. He's heading right at
it now and he can't see it very well. He's really
got to pitch his head up to see it. And the
darn back pack is a - is a - you got to grab onto
the uh - green locker in order to get over there.
The back pack is up _-ound his uh - b_p pad now,
it's uh - ridin' pret'_y high. Okay, we're gonna
dock the FC_J. I'm gonna put this camera away.
Al's got one more picture in here. I'll take
a picture of your head. This is for your uh -
memoirs. Let me focus it in good. Now, look at me.

Just had it charged up and I didn't want to leave

it. Okay, we took a bunch of Nikon photos uh -

TIMESKIP

231 22 29 _8 CDR Okay, this is the CDR, debriefing - uh - the -

uh T20 run - T21 run. Let me make sume general
 Dump Tape 231-08
Page 18 of 20

comments before I go right into the debriefing.

We got two major probl_s with this type of _,nlt.
One, I think we can solve; the other I don't think
can be solved with the configuration that we've
got, and that's it. First, the one that you can
solve. The - uh - the - uh - the thing is entirely
too loose on you. The backpack, if snug it in real
tight, along about 5 or l0 minutes later, under
this zero-g condition and moving around and the way
the straps are built and the low friction in those
buckles, - uh - it's loose again. You don't
notice it, but all of a sudden you determine th=t
maybe for the last 3 Or 4 or 5 minutes it hasn't
been working right, that it has been slopping
all over the place. I don't know how much trouble
that gives yoU actually in flying it, but you Just
don' t like it.

231 22 30 52 CDR It's - uh - not - uh - it - it'd be like drinking

a car that was all b_hity and the shocks were
gone and - uh - the springs were out of the seats,
you were going over rough roads and every time
f _ you hit a bump you nearly fell out of the seat.
It's !_e t_--kinga _._ ovcr - -_h - rought comz_r_
and the Jeep were bad shape and you were going fast.
Everythings loose; i_'s not a solid-feeling backpack.
The seets is Just the same, only a little bit wors._.
You tighten it the max you want, because it hurts
in the crotch - uh - when you pull thathing
up tight. And don't let anybody tell you it
doesn 't.

231 22 31 29 CDR That's not Just a one-g effect; when you've got
that thing tight on you so that so that it's kind
of rigid, no matter how tight you put it it
doesn't seem to ever get rigid. It hurts, and you
don't like it, so you release it. So you try to
ride sidesaddle. Now, another thing that h_ppens
when - ever when it is tight and you thrust
up, that means you're pulling that thing up
into your crotch, and that hurts. It Just - it's
terrible, terrible design. Oh -

CREW ...

231 22 32 05 CDR - - what you're going to have to do is - uh

we're going to have to pad this thing somehow
and - uh - so that you can pull yourself down
 Dump Tape 231-08
Page 19 of 20

tight on you it and it won't hurt you.

In other words if - Just because you're in
zero g doesn't make any difference. It feels
Just like it does at one g, in the trainers;
you Just can't tske it. It hurts too much down
there. My bottom right now has been off of it
for l0 minutes and it still hurts, I imagine
it's going to hurt the rest of the day. Now in
addition to that ta - continue to talk about
restraints. Oh - that - uh - restraint comes
loose. The webbing is Just too thin for the
buckle. It doesn;t have enough friction. And
when you tighten it up and it's loose again.

231 22 32 44 CDR Now in addition to that point on the - on the =

restraints, when you do tighten it up, it still
doesnt hold you right. Why not? _ Because you
got all the straps either on your lower side
or the back. You got nothing in front. So
your body flexation, which is a bunch of them
up here in zero g, tend to - to misalign
your c .g. in - in the maneuvering unit.
f _ When you move your feet around to fire the
thr_ste_, _t mov*_ t,le m_leuve__ng ,_'_it-_111
over the place. The maneuvering unit doesn't
have any tendency to stay attached to your
butt when you push do,re. When you pull up,
it tends to move back. When you pick up, it
tends kick off your _:ar. Kick back. In
other words the mmmeurering unit moves as much
as the little pedals _.

231 22 33 31 CDR You put i0 pounds of force on the pedal, that's

i0 pounds on the maneuvering unit; it Just
moves away from your butt. This thing is like
being on a rickety automobile or a rickety
ben_-_le machine - uh - uh machine like you
might se - uh - in a cartoon where, as they
go over the bumps, the wings flap or the - or
the - uh tail sags. That's the way it feels.
And that's the way it looks. I'm sure on
TV when I'm firing the thrusters and everything,
you're seeing the thing Just move a11 over.
Nothing rigid about it. You can't - it's a
non rigid flying machine. It isn't even as rigid
as that - rigid as that Goodyear rubber airplane,
or whatever - Firestone or whatever - you -
inflatable airplane. At least when they inflated
 Dump Tape 231-08
• Page 20 of 20

it, it was stiff. Now we've got to come

up with some restraint so that this thing
locks in to one another.

231 22 3_ 21 CDR Now I might guess that what you're

going to have to do for Jerry is come
up here with sc_e sort of metal stiffener -
uh - with screws or sc_ething and you attach
them to that hackplate and then you attach
them to the seat, and that makes that
one rigi6 str_cture. You lock it in - screw
it in tight. It -

231 22 48 17 CDR What was the order of task dif -

• difficulty? The most difficult, by far,
was the - as far as having acceptable, was
dog-leg maneuver. Reason being you had
to do lots of trusting that means -
ment yon slopped around a lot. Put in a
lot of forces, hurt you on the rear and
and then it 81so caused you to get off in -
uh - in translation in the Y-Y direction,
which you can't control. Incidentally
as you know. So, Z-Z, you could catch on,
and X direction sometimes yon could - uh
could make out. But that was the worst.
• The next - hes - worse one wss, obviously the
two axis. Cause you have to pitch up.
That Just gave you more time to - to get
her in Y fouls you up. All the rest of the
maneuver was about equal. The essiest was
the pitch; roll was fairly easy, Just low
authority. Yaw was sensitive and also
when you yawed you'd and that was trouble-
some. Right yaw gave you - left roll I
believe, but l'm not sure. It will show
up.

231 22 49 30 CDR Was time to perform maneuver too high or

too low due to high or low rates or
attitude control problems? Altitude
control problems caused you to have prebl_m=.

a minute. Let's do some thinking, say

Particularly with the feet. If your feet

231 22 57 17 CDR Piloting proficiency. Do you think that

the time you spent on the training
simulatorswas sufficientto permit you
to develop and exercise your skill for the
planned maneuvers? The answer to that is
yes. But the simulator that we had there
did not permit you to understand the
problem. If we'd put this on - T20 [sic] on
the ... at Martin, Denver. we would of seen
i_,edlately this drift problem and would
have realized that we - in the size the
dimensions of the workshop we could not

from the very first day. Yt's Just he

here. Maybe if we had it up there, then
we could develop procedures, protection
that would m_ke it satisfactory. 9ut the

the answer. I'm going to have to tape
more about the simulator thing.

231 22 57 50 CDR Do you feel that the training and experience

you _eceived in performing the planned
maneuvers was sufficient for the discretionary
maneuvers performed in the 0_? No;
there is nothing sufficient. You can't do
them. You can't do good baseline maneuvers.
I'd like - I want to see somebody do the
baseline maneuver.

influenced in any way the manner in which
you performed the[sic]? I didn't go EVA
the first time. I go EVA here in another
5 or 6 days. It t_kes experience for 509?
Definitely. It should. Got a good feeling
for maneuvering around here. But probably
one of the biggest factors is the Just the
fact how you goof around in here without
any maneuvering unit. You can see what's
possible. And then when you get a maneuvering
unit,which holds you back it holds you back
to an unsafe degree, you don't llke it. As
I said, if Y were going EVA, I'd rather
have nothing than that unit. That's that
simple.

231 22 58 48 CDR Do you notice any influence of long-term

zero gravity psychological [sic] effects
on your ability to operate the FCMU and
perform the task? Yes, it's better. I'm

think you are much better acclimated to

CDR Discuss the relative importance of the

.. following simulation artifacts. Degrees
of freedom. _4e got - If you want to learn
to fly this machine, you got to get
something like at Denver for coming in
and out. _"ne others are good for warmup.
Beginning, and before you go to Denver,
hut 2orget it for otherwise. I Just
_personally don't thinkyou can ms/-_ethis
acceptable with the degree of freedom
it's got. Audio visual cues acceptable.
Gravity vector orientation acceptable.
Body suspension, good. Operating envelope,
poor. For the simple reason that with
those degrees of freedom in a smaller
envelope, it will not cover. If you can
somehow stablex to several degrees, llke
they do in - uh - - uh - 3 degrees,
as you do at the airbrearing tables, zreat.
.-- -_ It's easy to do, let's fly to it. No
sweat. Extraneoys noises, no trouble.

CDR Using your EVA experience, discuss the

relationship of the visual, invironmental,
and airbreaking ... to the actual EVA,
conditions and possible maneuvering tasks.
We've discussed it, already. The problem
with going EVA, first of all, you're in
suit, which I wasn't in today. You're - uh -
don't have nearly as good visible cues•
You're uptight. Uh, You're in a hurry.
Everything said its going to be a lot
tougher to do in EVA, if the vehicle we
got here isn't good enough to do a EVA. So,
I think that says it, right there.

them.

CDR Volume, very much of an influence.

231 23 02 32 CDR External, we've discussed It. External

dlstrubances, none. Just turn if off the

CDR Jet Impingment, I don't know. I didn't

/_ see O. was doing much but it could have.
It was high in the HH_ but I don'tknow
about his.

CDR Contact forces dynamics. We discussed

retrieval - it was - [Yawn] time consuming.
The most time consuming part of the whole
day was Jack getting me, and puting me
back in position. I think maybe we've
got to find out a way where - uh - Just
put me back in position, and leave me and
let me get stablIzed and he sort of go
over to where l'm cominc. And that way,
when I get there, he can bring me back,
instead of havin_ to repositlon himself
- two or three times a pass. Have him
Just head me back over there soon as !'m
hooked on. And he heads bac_ to where l'm
going to be, at the end. It works from
that position. Don't you think that's
better, Jack? Too much trouble. L%, now
you're going to have to hold me for the
pitch, ro_l, and ya'_; but that's okay:
that hasn't been trouble, if you don't
move away, you Just stay there.

232 O0 42 40 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A,

debriefing the last ATM pass which quit
here at 00:40. Uh - this is the one in
which inserted an extra building l0 to
look at active region at 96 - uh -
which is undergoing a -uh - transient
in the XUV right now. Uh - the - uh -
there are two bright points to the
north, apparently the sane polsrity, which
then - uh - show loops extending
down to another - uh - location, now
forming a brihht point to the south,
some - uh - 1 to l-l/2 arc minutes
awsy frim the - uh - two brighter
points to the north.

232 00 43 26 SPT Now this is referring to the picture

in the - uh - XUV MON. And - uh -
starting Just about - uh - oh,
2 hours ago now - uh - there was what
appeared to be a bright loop extending
from these two northern points
f around to the - uh - more southerly
- uh - - a look expadn_og ont toward
- uh - west limb and growing in size.
A couple of arc minutes long now. And
within the last - hh - hour - uh -
there's llso been another loop
formed, also out to the east, between
these two brighter - o/i - points.
And so it appears that there's a
whole structure of arches now
forming - uh - between these - uh -
uh - two - uh - bright points.

232 00 _ 08 SPT and the whole - uh - -J.b.

- the whole
evolution has occurred within the last
2 hours and - uh - the - K rather
expect that there is still some
further evolution to continue that
we could be observing. Now in that
last orbit, which - uh - uh -
started at 23:48, I did thke one
Dump Tape 232-01
Page 2 of 4

15-minute observing interall there

to do a building block I0 - uh -
located in this active region. I
did not ... mirror auto raster,
but also grating auto scan - uh - centered
on one of the - uh - brightest
points at the - in the northerly
pair of brihht spots.

232 00 44 55 SPT In H-Aplha, there appeared to be two

bright spots in the northern region. The
one to the south is not visible in
H-Alpha. So I picked the brihhtest one
by picking it up on detectors 1 and/or 3,
and into the grating auto scan there ...
auto raster and I believe it was two active,
one long, ,.. Perhaps your telemetry
will show all that.

232 00 _5 lh SPT Uh - I've got a couple of segments

of this evolution on the - on the -
uh -VTR.

232 00 45 27 SPT ... at least get a gllmnse ff what. th_ -

uh - uh - event looked Ikke by - uh -
taking a look - uh - uh - these se_nents
of the BTR. And I think it would be
rather interesting tc have been sitting
right on active region 96 during mirror
occasional - uh - uh 0 well, there had to
be a time ... because we're running
pretty short on film now. We're only
down to - we'_e down to 140 frames ....
suppose giees you very much in mode autos.
But - uh - at any rate I think we ought to
be observing this - _h - event at this
field. A one-of-its kind that I've
observed and ... up there.

232 00 h6 08 SPT Uh - now the next orbit we start the

0123. Has a building block 6 in it
- and'then a 2B on active region 93. So
there's one brief interval in there that
might be able to cut out without
Dump Tape 232-01
Page 3 of h

affecting the JOP 9 sequesce. Could

cut out this 0 uh - look at active
region 93. Man, we could do it later
or wait until tomorrow. We'll have to
talk to you abQut that on the ground and
this is the end of the debriefing and -
of the preceding orbit for the ATM nine
driven planners. SPT out.

232 02 00 13 CDR Okay, tiis is the CDR on the effort I

Just made to locate the Antipodes Islands.
No luck at all. It was scattered to
broken, and I expected to see them,
because - uh - it looked like a trick.
It would be possible if ouu could simply
see some of them down through the clouds,
but not a single one was in view. CDR out.
That goes to RETRO, I believe. It
doesn't go to RETRO. Believe it goes to
EREP.

232 02 O0 38 CDR CDR out.

232 02 O0 38 PLT Okay: space _a_ _h/s is Jack on ch_--_-ue!A.

Thss is for the ATM boys. Debriefing the
01.23 run. We - uh - ran your - uh -
J0P 6. We've only gone IA without a hitch.
And we omitted the TV down-link. We substituted
- uh - target 96 fol target 93 to run
the building block lO. We got that done
and - uh - we got - uh - some - uh -
information on the VTR on - uh - target 96.
We - uh - didn't - weren't quite able
to complete a - uh - second mirror auto
raster on target 96.

232 02 16 15 FLT We - uh - after running building block lO

- we reported - uh - the - uh - ATM
a little bit to - uh - take advantage of
the XUV enhanced area, that - uh -
... transient area that 0wen had noticed -
which was not far from - uh - active region
96. , but we wanted to make sure
that - uh we pointed it properly. So we
had to offset from active region a little
bit. We gave the first hO lines of the
Dump Tape 232-01
Page _ of 4

mirror auto raster and we gave

an active 1 long. We had to
secure the - uh - auto raster's, port line
in order to have enough time to
press on to the JOP 9, building block 2,
which I Just finished Just before
effective sunset. So it looks
like we got everything you asked
for, plus a little bit more on that
XUV transient area that Owen noticed.
And we'll be back in about half hour to
get another JOP 9-

232 02 17 36 PLT See you later.

channel A. And the subject is the

CREW ...

232 14 19 51 PLT Okay, space fans, here we are again - uh -

back in the - uh - TV 63 video test using
the second camera this time and the
serial number is 3006. This is the one
we had the problem with during the - uh -
rendezvous, and - uh - we worked on the
color wheel a little bit.

232 lh 24 05 PLT And - uh - this is the end of the mes-

sage on TV 63 test. And I think the
people would like this er a - Dave
Brooks and the ...

_- 232 14 35 38 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A,

debi_efing the i_ th_ is j_t Euu_L
to finish - about to finish at - uh -
14:35 ... Okay, the _op lines went
as planned. Now, on this - uh -
particular rev, it started at 13:47 Lulu,
we were supposed to go back to - uh -
bright spot number 1. Now I had one short
building block, a building block l0 on
bright spot l, at the end of the last
orbit. And the coordinates that I used,
at the end of the last orbit, were
minus 5398 roll; dowz, minus 157 and right,
plus 131. We got a debriefing we could
verify it from the grDund. Now, at the
convertion of that, I found that that was
really not the bright spot I'd intended to
point at. It was a bright spot, but it
was not the best one and not the one I
was - uh - wanting to study. Now, there-
fore, at the beginning of the next run, I
•slightly redefined that bright spot num-
ber 1 position, and - uh - I'll tell you
 Dump Tape 232-05
Page 2 of 15

the results of that - uh - I guess, -

uh - here next. The bright spot 1 final
coordinates are minus 5391, roll;
minus 144, down; plus 98, right. Now
this is - uh - very little different,
on - are minute or less from the
other - uh - bright spot, originally
defined. So, the - uh - mirror auto
raster should not be comprised in any
way. And so, then with the new - uh -
bright spot coordinates, I completed
steps l, 3 and 4. I thought this was
preferable to make sure the 82B data
was - uh - really optimum on - uh -
that - uh - bright spot location. I
also reversed the left and right between
steps 3 and 4 because I found that there
was another bright spot near this one to
the left and I didn't want to put the
828 slot ov - uh - slit on this other
bright spot, - uh - when they thought
they were getting background or contrast
- information. So, I instead, on step 3,
moved te _° _'-_ 5 --°
then on step 4 moved to the left 5 are
seconds where 82B had - uh - been omitted.
Had 82B been running both times, then of
course it would have made no difference.
And then I had a few minutes left so I
gave another mirror auto raster, grading
zero, and got down to about line BS. So
that should - uh - further verify that
there was no "compromise to the original
mirror auto raster made at the end of the
last orbit, and should also give you some
information about sLny - uh - chauges that -
uh - may have occurred to the bright spot
or - uh - surrounding regions during the
hour and a half inter%ening. So, I think
that it was a good stuyd of bright spot
number 1 sund - uh - you should use these -
uh - final coordinates as the - uh - uh
position of the - uh - the bright spot in
•which all of the central - uh - work was
done. And we're Just now finishing up -
uh the next - uh - uh building block 2 for
JOP 9 on the end of this orbit.

This information went to the - uh - ATM
PIs and planners.

232 14 48 27 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on chan-

nel A. The subject is _87-3, evaluation
guide number 2• This infor probably goes
to my friend - uh - professional golfer,
Robert Burn. Okay we're going to - uh -
evaluate - uh - various compartments in
the spacecraft• First placement is
general arrangement and orientation of
the compartment.

232 14 48 59 PLT Starting with the wardroom. I like the

wardroom fairly well, except for - I don't
like the - uh - pantry area. I notice
that every time 0wen wants to get his
shower he has to - uh - stumble over A1
or myself to get to it, cause it's
directly cross the table. His uh - uh -
food should have been stowed over - uh -
where he could reach it. Would have been

232 14 49 25 PLT The waste management compa_tment - uh -

general arrangement - uh seems to be
satisfactory. The - uh - John on the wall -
uh is - okay - uh - setup. The - uh -
urinal drawers work well• Uh - the one that
I - uh - had to pull out and the one A1
p1_1]s out, though - uh - conflict with
the - uh - foot restraints. I think we
discussed that before.

232 14 49 52 PLT The - uh - sleep compartments - uh - seem

to be arranged satisfactory. I've got no
complaints about that. I - uh - sleep well
every night. And, - uh - able to keep all
my gear in here with - uh - minimal dif-
ficulty. Uh - light is not a problem.
Trying to sleep, we turn out all the
llghts, - uh - except we leave some on
up in the - uh - uh - airlock area. Uh -
the baffles above my head - uh - doesn't
pass any air to speak of. Believe I've
discussed that, also. But it remains flat
 Dump Tape 232-05
Page h of 15

against the ceiling. Blocks out the

light all right, but doesn't let any air
through it. I - tth - keep my - uh -
little - uh - curtain half way open in
the evening - at night, to prevent - permit -
permit ventilation - uh - through the
compartment. The air coming up through the -
uh - vent duct in the floor - uh - flows
fairly rapidly. It's uncomfortable to have
it pointed at you. You have to have it
pointed away and - uh - otherwise, it -
uh - it's too drafty. Experiment compart-
ment - uh - arrangement uh - seems to be
okay. Uh - it's kind of crowded in between
the ergometer and the - uh - and the - uh -
ESS panel. A - uh - sure is a crowded
area when you get the shower erected
but - uh - we know that wasn't originally
planned to be in there, and I think it
was a good location for it - uh - uh - as
an after thought. I guess that's all I
can think of on the - uh - experiment
z compartment.

232 14 51 28 PLT Forward doom - dome area seems - uh - gen-

erally be arranged - Jh - satisfactory and
adequately. Uh - I'we got no major com-
plaints about the arrangement in there.
One thing about the lower are that the - uh -
poor arrangement is the - uh - the fact
that the - uh - the p._n is right next to
the sleep compartment. And - uh - it's
not that fact so _ch as the fact that
when - uh - anybody goes in there to - uh -
turn on the blower an_ use the - uh - waste
management system at night, it wakes
everybody else up. Aud that - uh - thing
makes a fair amount oi" noise that - uh -
and - uh - tends to wake you up when
somebody goes in there and uses it.

232 14 52 i0 PLT The uh - airlock itself• Uh - it's

arrangement is - uh - seems to be
satisfactory. Uh - during the EVAs,
why - uh - tend to float around in there
and - uh - grap on to whatever you can
grab on to. Uh, there 's usually other
 Dump Tape 232-05
Page .5 of 15

items and articles floating around in

there, too, and you seem to kick 'em
and bump 'era. And they're hanging on
tethers and getting wrapped up in your
legs, and _rrapped up in one another.
And - uh - so, it's - uh - it's kind
of a - uh - bowl of spaghetti during
EVA but - uh - we've been able to manage with
it all right. But I 'm sure there are
sc_e improvements that can be made to - uh -
to store equipment better in airlock
areas and - uh - keep it from dangling
all over and provide places for people
to hold on to.

232 i_ 52 56 FLT _)A/STS area is - uh - arranged in a

pretty hodgepodge fashion. It's - _h -
looks more like a boiler room than a
spacecraft. Next time we build s_mething
like that we ought to make it so - uh -
things are ... in better and there's not
so _y nooks and things for stuff to ge_
- lost into, so many head knockers and sharp
objects - uh - stlckinK out from - uh -
lack of - uh - things to grap on to and to
fasten yourself down to. The - uh - the
only arrangement of the - tth - MDA is
probably - uh - more hodge pod_e than - uh -
any other _rea in the space craft, in my
opinion. I - uh - in - uh - going from
the - uh airlock to the co_m_smd module,
uh - seems like the - uh - orientation
that you go through there - that I go
through there anyway, always winds me up -
uh - uh - ... motion ... motion directly
at the - _h - little %_ble that's on the
ATM. I've always got to - uh - grab a
hold of it or rotate out of the way in
order to miss it. Easy to kick the ATM -
uh - panel when you're going by. And - uh -
so our arrangement in the _DA - uh - could
have been better somehow.

232 lh 5h i0 PLT Volumn of the carpartments is - uh -

adequate I think, except for possibly
the airloek compartment. That could
have been bigger. Uh - when you're
sitting in there, why - uh - it gets
pretty crowded with all that in there,
too. And - uh - could use more room
in the airlock. The - uh - rest of the
compartments, - uh - the voltmm seems
adequate. I wouldn't make - uh - sleep
c(_npartments any smaller than they are.
And - uh - I - I can't think of any - uh -
neither the waste management, they shouldn't
be smaller, neither should the wardroom.
Uh, going in the wardroom, you always
have to scoot around the tables or over
the top, if there's somebody in the way.
And - uh - so you don't have that any
smaller. The - uh - the - uh - commander -
uh - pretty much blocks the entrance to
the right side of the ward room when he's
going in.

Trim
_°°_ _J'__v_'n
_v_ P_ The - "._,h
- volumn uf th_ _A i_ - uh -
probably about right, but - uh - it's so
_ : cut up, it's hard to - uh - hard to really
evaluate the volunm in there. The vol_n,n
_ . is - uh - in my case, is unusable because
it's - uh - uh small sections of voltmm
tucked - uh - down behind boxes and

.. around boxes. And a lot of the volume

in the MDA is not available for use.
The - uh - ceiling - floor proximity is -
. uh - adequate in the - uh - preparter's
_- area. I'd say it's about right. Got no
-- complaints about it at all. I'll fre-
quently - uh - grab on to ceiling - uh - in
it to get around - uh - in a vertical
..... . _ manner-manner and - uh - more frequently,
• _ _ uh - in a horizontal manner. Uh - so - uh -
- in that case, why the - uh - ceiling proximity
has no - uh - bearings on the situation.
•- However, when you're in there working - uh -
the - uh - experiments or setting at the
,. wardroom table - uh - it's necessary to be
verticle. And - uh - you won't want to make
..... the head clearance any shorter than it is,
 Dump Tape 232-05
Page 7 of 15

although what we have seems to be

adequate. Having floor proximity is -
uh - not applicable in the other
compartments.

232 14 56 28 PLT Ingress/Egress provision - uh - they're

lousy in the MDA. Uh - just grab
whatever - uh - seems to be sticking
out. More often than not it's - uh -
the - uh - table - uh - work table at
the ATM. So ingress and egress in the
MDA is - uh - not _ood. Uh come out of
the command module - uh - the only thing
you can do, Just about, is push off at
the hatch and - uh - float - uh -
actually to the first thing you run into.
And there's no hand over hand way to get
around in the MDA to speak of. Putting in a
little handrail the crew quarter's hatch -
uh - getting into the - uh - going through
the hatch, to grab onto when you come
down from the dome and - uh - fling your-
/_-_ self into the - uh - lower compartment.
Benn nice to have, b_% not required.
Uh - getting in and out of the - uh -
waste management comp_rtment is - wh -
sort of a stunt becarse - uh - once you
get in there - getting in and out is
okay, but getting in there is not too
good because - uh - there's nothing to
lock your feet in to. Your feet Just
slide all over the f3oor, you sort of
bounce, rlco6het from wall to wall.
And - uh - you know the best way to
restrain yourself in there is to - uh -
you'll probably think to - uh - put
your - uh - knee up _ainst the little
handrail there and yo1_ back against
the tissue uh - wipe g_ispenser area and
kind of wedge yourself to - uh - do
what ever is necessary. Other than that,
uh - you Just drift around in there•
and - uh - you have to wedge yourself
•with your feet and hands between the
wall, in order to by yourself. So,
it's wh - getting in and out is all
right but once you get in there - uh -
f_
it's anybody's guess as to how you're
 D_np Tape 232-05
Psge.8 of 15

going to handle the situation. Uh -

getting in and out of the wardroom has
been discussed. Uh - if - uh - the
Sl°T and the commander is seated, why -
uh - the only way is to get over the table,
there's no way to get around it. Their -
uh - their backs are pretty much up to
the wall.

232 lh 58 33 PLT Egress/Ingress - uh - into the - uh - forward

dome area is - uh - satisfactory. Coming
from the airloek, of course, they - uh -
push off. If, we had the ...... why -
uh - that'd be a perfect way to do it,
but we no lo_ger find it a necessary unit
s-ridundesirable to have it in the way.
In_ress and Egress out of the airlock -
uh - are satisfactory. In fact, got a
hamdrail to the air lock to - uh - take
care of that problem.

232 lh 59 Ol PLT Trash collection provision uh - it's uh -

_ _ satisfactory in the wardroom. Uh - it's
not satizf_ctory - -i_- ia Lhe - uh - -
there's no trash bag 9 uh - uh that we
haven't used in the - D_h - experiment
compartment. We always have to - uh -
go over to waste mans_ement then or
into the - uh - the wardroom to throw
things away unless we put a - uh -
fold the ba_ up and h_/%g on the wall
which is what we typically do. Uh - a i
little trash bag deals in the - u_h -
sleep compartment are good. Uh - it
takes a while to fill them up, I guess
I've only used one so far. And the - uh -
one in the head gets used a lot - uh -
but it's adequate. Uh - we never use
the one in the forward dome because
they' re never near you it seems like.
There aren't any provisions in the - uh -
airlock or the RDA. You reall_ dox_'t
need - uh - any in the zirlock but - uh -
we'd like to have them in the MDA and -
-uh - that was an omission, An oversight
..... that we should have taken care of earlier.
But - uh - %lh - what we've done is to
install a bag in there and to - u_h - dispose
 Dump T_pe 232-05
_, Page 9 of 15

of our waste In a temporary storsge

bag, which we have to dump out every
once and a while. But, uh - I llke
the - uh ~ idea of having trah bag -
uh - behind lockers, not away llke they
are down in the lower compartment.
That's the way they ought to be all over.
In - uh - a little rubber - uh - split
rubber - uh - ceiling devices are - uh -
. _ are working well. Uh - stuff doesn't
never get out when anyone puts something
in the can. They get a little messy
sc_etimes when you - uh - put s_nething
dsmp in there. Dh - they get wet.
Particularly the ones in the waste
manage or the - uh - food compartment,
where you - uh - cut the tops off your -
uh - food bags and stick them ill there.
They usually got some residue on them
and it gets kinds sloppy on the - %th -
: %he,_ilttle- 1_h - split rubber entrance

f_-_ to the - uh - trashbag.

232 15 Ol 05 PLT Okay, - uh - storage voltm_e and access -

uh - we're limited on storage volume
in the sleep compartment. We could have
used a little more s_orage volume for -
uh - odds _ud ends that - uh - tlnally
come your way, as fa_' as clothes and
shoes and biomed stuff and - uh - uh -
the tool caddy and all that. Cause you
want to stow your parsonnal tapes, and
the - uh - music tapes, and shook or
two and - uh - there as no good storage
for the tapes in the - uh - the - uh -
sleep compartment which is where every-
body stows their's csuse they got
extrsa in the - vh - now that the ward
wardroom tape recorder's broke, why there's
no sense in having your tapes in there.
The tapes Just drift around in the - uh -
locker. Uh - should we slam the door,
you could break one very easyily. And
_ _'yOu_'can never can find the one you want
unless you go through all 18 of them.
Uh - what you need is - uh - sc_e little -
uh- thing you can install in the - uh -
/_ _ the - uh ~ locker in the sleep compartment
 D_np Tapes 232-05
Page.10 of 15

to keep your tapes in, so that you

can - uh - get at them and also, so
you can know what you - they are. I
was thinking of us having a - uh -
catalog - uh - for each guy to use
independently - uh - in the - uh -
sleep compartment so you know Just what's
on each tape and grab the one that he
wants. Or have some better way of
marking them. The tapes come up and
they're u_marked. Uh - except for the
ones that were launched, the others are
unmarked. They Just - uh - come in a
cassette l, 2, or 3 indications so
there's no way of knowing what's on
them unless you go through everyone of
them. You can't file them like you would
at home in a - uh - in a cabinet, and
Just look at the pages of them, like you
would at a book to see what the title
is. You got to, uh to go through the
whole - the whole stash. So _ sug-
- gestionis that you figureout same
-._y _-_ - "_h - contain =_-'"these t_e_
and s_ne way to mark them on the OUtSide -
uh - so that you knOW what they are, _ith-
out having to go through the whole heap
and have them float all over and then they
float out of the compartment. You find
1 or 2 that drift, during the day, some-
where around the workshop. The rest of
the stow ... like we said, we could use
more stowage are in the sleep compart-
ment. They're - uh - the - uh - the
lockers that we do have in here that we're
not using, are fall of trash bags or some
other thing like that, that you don't use
very many of. Uh - and so - uh - you
Just don't empty those lockers, they're
not available for personal use. There
is no good way to - uh - stow your
clothes at night. Uh - you can't stow
everything on these little - uh - uh -
rubber towel holders because - uh - it
floats all over and - uh - it Just kinda
gets in your face and everywhere. And -
uh - so you need somewhere to stow your
clothes. It would be nice to have a
 Dump Tape 232-05
•_ Page ii of 15

locker to dump those clothes into. And -

uh - normally, what I do, is I roll up
my shirt and stick it behind the SIA and
the light, wedge it in there. And my
trousers, I roll them up, uh - throw
them in the trash compartment. And
then I got T-shirt - uh - a pair of
skivvies, I usually stick in the towel
holder and they float around. And the
shoes I - uh - still got a - uh - ...
back down here with extra clothes in it
that we brought up and - uh - I got that -
uh - bunched into the deck and uh - out
of the way of the vent so I get s_me
fresh air and I usually stick my shoes
down there wedged in somewhere. But
uh - really not enough stowage area in
the sleep compartment. Looks like we
got enough over there in the - uh -
ward room. We're regularly using towels
and things outa there. And - uh - uh -
f some of those lockerscouldbe used for
other things. Uh - I've stowed the
T 00200 in one of those lockers instead
of folding it up every time and putting
it back where it belongs, so, I take an
empty locker and I stuff it in there.
Now there aren't too many storage - uh -
provisions - uh - 8x_ required in the
pad area. The - uh - compartment where
you keep the fecal - uh - used fecal
bags is a little too small. It should
be emptying that thirg all the time,
seems like it's alwa_rs full. And - uh -
so that could have been a bigger area.
Everything else ... In the experiment
compartment, you don't stow much extra
stuff there either. T/n - and stowage
volume that we do have appears adequate.
The area will get things outa there
all _ight when you need them• Up in
the - uh - forward dome we started to -
tth - use that extra stowage space up
there. That's stowage seems to - uh -
uh - adequate. Uh - the extra things we
brought up however, are - uh - stowed
somewhere on the wall or tied to this,
-_ that, and the otherthing. And we

got one more bag in there than the
sched called for. And - u_h - if you
need to put more ... bags down in there,
you can probably improvise a way - uh -
but - uh - the - uh - storage are that
we have planned is - uh - completely

noticed that the - uh - the cable that

some way, using the cable that goes
around the d_e, but - uh - somehow
/ • figure out a way to attach it to the
_'all, I thi_, wlLh_uL any - uh - problem.
Stowage provisions in the - up in the
MDA - uh - are - uh - we usually stow
everything up there "_e need. Uh - one
thing that we don't have up there that
we need is - uh - a tissue and wipe
dispensor. One thing I think they should
have made with these - uh - clothes is
some handerchiefs. You gotta go out
of your way to blow your nose, you got
to pick up a tissue. You don't do that
on Earth. You walk - I walk around
with a hankerchief in my pocket. When
I got to wipe something off, I pull it
out and wipe it. Here you got to go
around and get a tissue from somewhere.
Now there aren't any up in the _DA.
We had to take a box up there and -
uh - tape it to the wall. So that's -
also an oversight in the _OA. ' " -" _'-

yourself to s_nething to get in

there. There's just not - no way to
hold yourself down unless you wrap your
legs around something. And - uh - uh -
haven't actually had too much occasion to
get things out of stowage in the MDA.
Uh - but - uh - here again, all the
stowage is arranged in real hodgepodge
fashion and - uh - lighting is all
different directions and - uh - when you
go up there you really got to look
around to find out where you are before
you can find what you're looking for.
Uh - depends on the orientation, you
hit the MDA at - as to where you think
you are. Seems like everytime I go up
there still - uh - unless I enter it
the same way everytime - uh - I'm
always a little confused as to whether
to go right or left to - _h - to
find what I 'm looking for. And I
always gotta go in th,_re and find
/ - uh - EREP stuff and uh - and then
i can locale myself with respect co
that, or with respect to the ATM panel.

232 15 08 17 PLT Uh - there's not much stowage - uh -

volume in the airlock and there ain't a
whole lot required in there - uh - except for the
stuff that we take out EVA, we naturally
have a place to put i_; instead of
hooking on to. everything; so its in the
way of your feet, kicking it around
and banging on tethers, and - uh -
getting wrapped up in your legs sad - uh -
your umbilical and wrapping itself
around other articles that are also
fastened to the tether. It's a big
- uh - rat nest in there during EVA, as far as
stowage is concerned. Temporary
equipment restraints - uh - we should've
had more s_ring bungees and we shouldn't
have had those sharp wires on them
cause those are eye catchers. We
found that - uh - with time and use that
those bungees, those little wire hooks and
- the ones from the cc_and module are real
/ good, but the ones that were built with the

r
 Dump Tape 232-05
•_ Page 14 of 15

_orkshop - uh - they're starting to

stretch out. And every once in a
while they get loose - go snapping
across the room and we're lucky so far
we haven't put out somebody's eye.
And on some occasions we're hit people
with them, and if we hit em in the eye
we would have been in trouble. They - uh -
tended to come loose sometimes because
the - uh - hooks are getting bent and
straightend out like - uh - straightened
out fish hooks.

232 15 09 27 PLT And we should have had those springs built on

the doors without having to improvise
and - uh - and - uh - hook them on
there as an afterthought. We should
have had - uh - some kind of little
stowage bungee or - uh - a stretching
device attached to every-every locker.
Every place that - there's a flat
place, we should have had something
r there to stow things underneath.

232 15 i0 02 PLT The - uh - other temporary equipment

restraints - we use the short straps
quite a hit - the loI,5 straps - uh -
we seem to use them, too. Although the short
straps are nicer. B_it - uh - it looks
to me like their favorite is the - uh -
spring bungees, cause we yanked them all
out of the workshop. They're all
fastened somewhere arid we still don't
have enough of them. So - uh - that's
something that - uh - we ought to -
next time around to ~ uh - provide - uh - more of.
Uh - temporary equipment restraints in the
_DA are essentially nonexistant.
Whenever you go up there and try to
fasten something down there's Just no
place to put it. Now you got to - uh -
take springs up there and hook it under
anything. The question is not - enough
equipment restraints up there for temporary
use. Temporary equipment restraints
Dump Tape 232-05
_ 15 of 15

in the - uh - airloek are nonexistant.

We discussed that already. We need
something other than tethers dangling
811 over. Now I've got to go and work
on the ATM and I'll come back and - uh -
finish this later.

232 15 ii 06 PLT So - uh - this is the temporary end

of this message, end I'll be talking

232 18 35 06 SPT Okay, this is the SPT with information

to Drs. Bklchanan, Michel, Rtmmlel, and
Mike Whittle - uh - relative - uh -
exercise and water consumption loss. I
checked my body mass carefully both
before and after - t_h - wearing - uh -
shorts and socks tri - and the triangle
shoes. About a 5-count average with
6.0h8 on the BMMD. After exercise the
body mass was 6.026. I haven't put
this on the conversion chart yet, but my
Euess is it's s_ne place between 1 and
2 pounds. And - uh - all of this, of
course, was lost within about an hour.
T - uh - did more or less my standard
work rotultin: 30 minutes - uh - ergometer,
peddllng; putting out 2300 w_tt-mlnutes.
And with the mark l, 60 repetitions of
A, 60 repetitions of Baker, and hO repe-
titions of Delta. Now of this - uh - my
guess is 1 to 2 pounds of water loss.
My gUess is I lost about 75 percent of
it on the ergc_eter and 25 percent of
""" _....
_ -- _'' _........
_==_ I. if az*yShl ng, there are
a couple of factors that might change
it a little bit. For one thing, I probably
still had a little hit of sweat in my
hair and on my shorts; but, of course,
it could - uh - uh - would tend to
under estimate the amount lost.

232 18 37 01 $PT l also did not have a fan on me and I

did tend to sweat heavily. Both - uh -
uh - I've always done that on the ground
and am still doing it up here. And -
_h - since I did not have a fan, -
uh - I was a little warmer. I don't
think this affected my sweating very
much. It might have kept me a little
cooler, but - uh - I would have probably
sweated nearly as much - uh - even with -
uh - a fan on me. Oh - I do - uh - uh -
I am surprised about one factor and that is the
 D_p Tape 232-07
Page 2 of 8

- uh - uh - lack of any salt remaining on

your body after the - uh - sweat has dried.
Now after the workout, it's - uh - my normal
procedure to - uh - get a wanhrag and towel
to wipe off as'much sweat as possible. But
you can't get it all off and none of us
have ever noted any - uh - remaining -
uh - salt on our body after the workout.
So I don't know - uh - it seems to
be unusual to find so little salt remaining.
Ira - I do notice, however, that the
- uh - sweat from my brow does sting my
eyes slightly, and it also has a salty
taste. So - uh - perhaps it 's normal,
but it - uh - seems to be a bit unusual.
So that's - uh - uh - about the amount
of - uh - water lost - uh - for what is
a - uh - reasonably typical workout, and
- uh - I'd be interested in any comments
- uh - you might have. Fir@t of
A11, I would lke to know the amount of
- uh - weight lost in pounds that
corresponds to those - uh - uh - two differ-
ent B_4D readings to the nearest
i/i0 of a pound, please. And any
other con_ents you might have about it
would be appreciated.

232 18 38 53 SPT The mess_e goes to Ors. Buchanan_

Michel, Rummel, Mike Wittle, and - uh
- uh - anyone else interested in the
- uh - exercise or .- uh - water balance
studies.

continuing on, personnel mobility

aids, I think the - uh - there aren't
very many personnel mobility aids in the
w_rdroom. It's Just- you sort of
grab on to the table and ceiling to
get around ther. Uh - that seems to
- uh - do the job pretty well,
although they could have a handlebar -
uh - here and there, which would help
some. Waste management compartment :
I think we've got adequate holds _round the
sink area, but therr are not enough handholds
- uh - back in the fecal 0 uh - dryer area.
Sleep compartment - uh - you've got
to use the ceiling to get in and out and
- uh - they should be adeuuate in ther.
Experiment compartment - uh -
uh - There aren't any handholds in there,
But we do use the ceiling a lot
snd whatever's available. I think that
the - _11 - mobility aids there are
adequate. The forward dome: We don't
- uh - have the fireman's pole turned up
any more. The handholds a uh- there
are no handholds around the foot lockers
and hie film vatLlt, where you need some,
and - uh - so - uh - we have an
inadequacy in that area. We have a
n_mber of handrails - uh -in which - uh -
seldom get used because we're seldom
in that area. In the airlock w_ have
adequate mobility aids, probably
about the best there is to - uh - We
spend very little time in the airlock itself.
We're mostly in transit when we go to the
airlock and the handr_,ils there ar_
used extensively. As we mentioned before,
there are no suitable ones - mobility
aids in the - uh - MDA. You Just sort of
grab whatever you can and - uh - very
inadequate - uh - mobility sids - uh J-
availability in the - uh - Mi - STS. Personnel
restraint devices - uh -

232 18 53 30 PLT Stand by i.

2B2 18 55 h4 PLT Okay, here we go a_ain on personnel

._ restraint devices - uh - Mh87. Uh - the
 D_np Tape 232-07
Page h of 8

best restraint devices we've lot are the

triangle shoes and - uh - the more of them
we've got located around, the better
we do - uh _ we have - uh - qu/te a bit
of it down in the experiment compartment,
and - uh - so that's the best restraint
device there is. Uh - we're not using many
tethers - uh - at all except to - uh -
to - uh - hang on to things and £o EVA,
but when we're nto hanging on to ... we're
hanging on to equipment against the
rlp tethers. So - uh - the best
personnel restraint device we've had is
the triangle shoes. _h - I used the
- uh - leg restraints - uh - along with the
triamgle shoes ... the toestraps in the
wardroom and - uh - I think they do a very
good Job. Uh - Personnel restraint devices
not employed much are-the sleep
c_mpartment. You Just sort of drift in
there ... without f_temlng yourself dowa.
The worst place - one of the worst places
;f is in the - uh - head. The restraint
de-v-icesare inad_qu_t_ Lher. You always
hoist yourself between the walls to do
the Job. Uh - uh - ulu - to retrain your-
self there should be cutouts in the floor for
your triangle shoes. The - uh -
toestraps are inadequate becusme they don't
fit over the triangle shoes, even the
•.. ones. Oh - e_n_n though you can
get your feet under them, why the
bottoms of the triangles are so slippery
that - uh - if you put any force at all,
your feet slip out. Uh - so - uh - we've
got inadequate restraint devices in the head.
The only one that's sdequate is - uh - the
handhoods and the feet restraints that
keep you dc_m when you're on the - on
the one - holer. Tee - uh - it's - uh -
in f_ct, a very annoying thing to go in
there and try to do your work, to - uh -
to - uh - change your urine drawer out,
.to - uh - uh - change the fecal bags ...
and put them in the fecal bryer. You're
Just continually floating around there.
You cnn't sven hold yourelef down to

Psge 5 of 8

write scmthing. You've got to push

yourself against the wall in order to
write on the little chart we've got
in there. And it's a very inadequate
poorly designed from the restraint
device standpoint. Uh - the - uh - alrlock
module doesn't have any - uh - personnel
restraint devices and probably doesn't
need any. The other place that the
restraint de,Ices are poor is in the
- uh - %_ - MDA. We've got a good device
i_ front of the _J_P and in front of the
ATM panel with the triangle gridwork.
However, any other place that you w_ut to
work, you've got to wrap your legs
around things. If you want to tske TV
out the window, pictures with the
if you want to work on S192, or if you
want to - uh - work on the VT8 or do
the 1_fS or any other place you
_t to go in the MDA, there's Just
nothing to grab on to. You've got to
.... find - find your - same place to wrap your
legs _und studso - tm - MDA-wise,the
restraint devices are somthing that h_s
to be impoved on also.

232 18 58 06 PLT Thermal comfort. The temperature h_ been

quite satisfactory ir here. It was a
little warm in the workshop when we first
got here, uut the sail took care of that.
It gets cool in the night when ye're
aleeping and most of the stuff's powered
down. We'll wind up putting a little
extra blanket over our legs in the
mornings. The _A is alwasys quite cool, a
and it's unccmfortable to come up here,
matter of fact, for me anyway, without
any - uh - or in m_ underwear, which
is sometines the way wou work up here because
you h_ve to work up here before you go to
bed. And you come up here to get the
pads and then some other things. So the
MSA is a little cool but tolerable, in fact
sometimes a pleasant place to come when
things get e little warm down in the work-
shop. Whenever you get the high intensity
 Dump _e 232-07
Page 6 of 8

lights on doom there or mi_e_oon

while we're working, it seems to get
a little warm down in the - _h - thf - _ -
workshop area. The sleeping compartment 's
been cooling off at night with the
ventilation - _ - the boower. Other-
wise, thetemperature is quite comfortable,
I think. The ari is very dry, althogh
it's a little too dry to suit me. My
lips - uh - still are - uh - are uh -
dry. They haven't really cracked or
anything, but they're a little chapped and
- uh - required putting s_me oiutment
on them. And - uh - I still get a lot
of dry nose, but that's starting to
go away, but it's taking a awful long
time to get acclimated to the dry climate
up here. Although I'll have to admit
that it's comfortable to he able to work
out and not sweat too much and dry off
in a hurry. It's probably better to have
it the way it is then b,-,Id like say in
Houston where you sweat all the time.
/ SO_ thermal-wlse: I'm qn_te _tisf_ed -__th
the - _h - the way the workshop is set up.

232 18 59 58 PLT Stand by i, please.

232 19 05 08 PLT Okay, this is the PLT again on M_87-3,

evaluation guide nt_nser 2. As I was saying,
the thermal comfort is satisfactory, I think,
in here. It's uh p as I was aaying, the
dry climate is a little dry for the nose
and so forht, but for the rest of the
things you like to do I think it's better.
You don't sweat much up here at ell eecept
when you work out, and when oy do, why
you dry out ral quick. If you hang thisgs
up to dry, why they dry out rapidly also, so
fr_ that point of view, I think it's good.

232 19 05 42 PLT Noise level is quite low. It's higher in t

the STS area than anywhere because the fns
on the tool sieves are sunning but
otherwise it's quite quiet. There is no
oh_ectional noise. It Just hmns along
with a very comfortable noise level. It's
 _p Tape 232-07
.f_ Page 7 of 8

not objectionable at all. That's

throughout the whole spacecraft and
even the mol sieve fans - when they're
not running, you miss them, so I don't
have any complaints about the noise at all.
It gets a little noisy when oy turn up the
EREP stuff because there's a few coolers
and so forth running but for the short
period of thime we use those , it's not
objectionable either.

232 19 06 28 PLT Okay, illunaiation seems to be generally

a little bit low. It could be higher
everywhere, I quess,although we're able
to accomplish our work with the ill_-,_uation
that we have. Frequently you get out your
flashlight to look at something more
closely, you've got to look down sume-
where in a nook or a cranny. So if you
want to do a lot of reading, you won't
like this light very much. Just to work
_ around in here and th_w switches and so
forth, it seems adeuuate; but if you want
to read a book or something, it's best
to find yourself = near the window or
something like that so that you've got
illumination. But for Just working
and moving around and doing your Job.,
why the ill_nination is adequate although
it could very easily be higher and m-_e

232 19 07 36 PLT If you want to work cn a piece of

equipment, you have to get down in it -
in a nook and a cranny - in a nook or a
cranny you have to get your flashlgght
out for sure because .more often than not -
not only is the lighting a little low, when
you do get over to the place to work on
it, why you block out the light that
there" is. It's unconvenient to have all th
those portable lights around everywhere
.-.hook 'eraup everywhere, so I don't think
we're ever used those. I've never
seen anybody use one of those portable

is Jack on channel a, debriefing
the last ATM run for the Atom

advertised. Don't think I made
any mistakes. So nothing - uh -
significant to report. Got

232 20 51 01 PLT Hello, there, biomed space fens.

This is Jack, PLT, on channel A.
We're running on M092 -

right leg, too. And that is

pass here which Just finished

planners. And - vh - nothing -
uh - particular to note about
the pass, with the following
exception. I did, because of
one ... block, ha_ to cut off
55 after 50 light, instead
of the i_,l_ sixty inroder to
get the last JOP. And - uh -
X-ray experimenter_ will know -
will notice that I sometimes

perhaps a m_nutes at these high

Beta angle with the X-2

affected by dropping a little
below bOO kilometers. But
are - that may not be so true for
some of the XUV experiments which -
uh - I do not try to annotate
f%,II d_ta below that altitude.
Now, one of the things that I
think would be of interest,
particularly interesting, }_RL
experimenters but perhaps the
rest oas well. While we were
pointing on the limb, I -
uh took the opportunity to leave
the white light display on I -
uh - monitor and - uh - cheek
for any disturbances produced
by - uh - closing - uh - some
other doors for another door.
In the first place, I noticed -
uh - by looking at the white
light display, when the XUV ...
changes from long to short, there
-- is no vibration noticed on
t_e XUV white light mirror _ on the
slit mirror. However, when it
chsnKes from the short _o long, as
it does in an auto - uh - program,
there is a - uh - large vibration
of the slit mirror. It appears
to be - uh - uh it appears as a
wavy line, vertically like a
corrupted edge during the scan of
the - uh - monitor. The - uh -
eight of each cycle is about a
quarter of an inch. And there
are some 20 c_cles from top to
botts. That's a 5 inche scope.
And - uh so each scan is 16
m(nutes ... That apparently is a
mech=n_cal vibration frequency of
about 1200 hertz. And I expect
- that - uh - that - uh ...
people should - uh - decide whether
or not that's a very close
r"

approximation. The amplitude

of the oscillation is about
5 arc seconds and that's out in
2 or 3 seconds. There was no
apparent effect when the
S056 mirrors - uh - directed
a filter close and there was
no effect when the 82A doors
were cycled opened or closed.
No affect on the mirror was
visible. So - uh - that may
be of some hlep to you on -
uh - ... disturbances analysis.

233 00 00 51 PLT Hello there, space fans, this is Jack on

channel A. I'm gonna debrief the - uh -
the - uh - out the window settings for
the Great Barrier Reef ... Australia
and ... New Zealand. This is probably
for the EREP office anybody who is
interested in visual observation. I
have noticed difficulty in finding the -
uh - Great Barrier Reef. I noted the
ve_iation of coloration in the water
Of the shoreline out to the reef.
Near the shore it was tan and brown.
It went outwards - uh - uh - due to
depth and the - uh - lesser amount of
sediments the water became bluer. It -
uh - went from brown to - uh - kind of
a aqua blue and then went to a deeper
blue before it got out to - uh - the
reef. I was - uh - unable to - uh -
to detect any current flow by using -
by looking at wave refraction patterns.
i_-_ I didn't notice any wave refraction
patterns. I saw several - uh - uh -
river flowing ... sediments ... that
were - uh - along the coast and
emptying into the ocean. For example -
uh - I pin -pointed three of them in
particular. The first of which was -
uh - emptying into a - bay which is
between Rockhampton and the Cape. The
second was - uh - emptying into another
bay between the - Gladstone and Rock-
h_pton. The third one was emptying
into a - uh - an area - beautiful -
uh - ... bay which was Just North of
Maryborough and that was - uh - muddying
up that water .... was a covered with
clouds. I was able to, however, see
one - uh - ... of lend getting out from
under the clouds but on this part of
land there was a volcano - it was
covered with snow. It was one lone
volcano, it was a very beautiful sight.
I took a close-up picture ... pictures
of that. However, I was unable through

f_
 Tape 233-01
Page 2 of 3

the clouds to see any other - uh -

volcanic activity in the area. And
I was unable to, due to clouds see
the - uh - depression in the center of
the - uh - North Island. Now - uh -
I was also unable on this day that I
was - uh - viewing it at New Zealand
• to - uh - detect the current ... along
the coast by - uh - ... the water color
to se_m_t ... It had much the
. same - uh - uh - characteristics as
that along the - uh - shore betveen the
Australian coast and the Great Barrier
Reef. Uh - as you went out toward -
from the shore the water became bluer,
of course, and I saw - uh - many - uh -
•.. in the water a panel where the - uh -
eedlments had - uh - caused the water -
"uh - to appear to be a different color,
like ... in the Bahamas area. So I
w_n't able to detect paneling alc_g
that coastline by ..., because of
the - uh - coloration of the water.

must - uh - give me a call and - uh -
otherwise that concludes message on

233 12 30 30 PLT Good morning, space fans.

This is Jack on channel A.
The subject this morning
is T992. This information
goes to - uh - Bob Nute of
NIu_A; Bob Randall, Ames
Research Center and - _h -
It's Just getting dark and
uh - we' re going to - uh -
first off do some star-to-
star - uh - impressions, star-
to-horlzon sightings on two
stars. Uh -the stars called
out are Diphda and Dubhe.
May have to decide that Dubhe
is not a good star. But - uh -
before it gets completely dark,
we're going to - uh - take some
zero bias sightings and - uh -
then we'll be ready. Temperature
of the dosimeter is - uh - 6 -
-- correction of the slation is 67 degrees
and - _h - d/opter _etting
is a minus 9.5. And - uh -
let's pick us a good star.
- Uh _ Fcmalhaut _ "_z[ttle
lower than it use_ to he but -
uh - it's the brightest one
up there. So we may also decide
that Fc_alhaut's a good
one to put 9n the horizon. And
the window protector is out.

want to lay the stars on the

PLT Yeah.

PLT Well, I got Miss Dubhe.

If I could only get her in the

233 12 57 45 PLT Can't get her located in the

sextant. Stand by.

23B 12 59 0B PLT Well, space fans, the Sun's

coming up_ - uh - and I
haven't located - uh -
Dubhe again in the sextant.
The two - the problem is when
the star gets well above the
horizon, it's difficult to
pick it out. Uh - The reason
is is cause - uh - the
stars - uh - sextant - uh -
s_s a lot more stars than
the - tLh - than the - the
n_2-_edeye nn:_.irou just really can't
_ick tht _" ._t-: t,:,o "_iI. You
use the fi!-ers, :.ore difficult -
tub - It lochs iihe to me that
that's too many sightings to take
in the short period that we
got to work in. So we won't have
from complete sunrise to -
uh - sunset to sunrise because -
uh - it starts to get ligh
before sunrise.

233 13 07 16 PLT Okay, space fans, I might be able

to give you a few more makrs
on - uh - Dubhe before Run -
Sun - complete sunrise here.

PLT Uh - I belive I'm not ...

PLT Now Dubhe' s below the airglow

horizon. It ain't gonna work.
Dump Tape 233-03
Page .8 of i0

233 13 08 49 PLT Well, I _ess we're going to h_ve

tO wind up the operation
with the sighting of two stars.
Now I'll tell you what the
difficulty is and I think I
mentioned it before. The
difficulty is one of - uh -
acquiring a star when it's %Tell
above *_
_o_e horizon _nd _.ritha -
uh - few checkpo_'n_s around.
Uh - You can see stars in there,
but you don't know - uh -
the one you're seeking for
because - _ - the - uh - sextant
gathers more light than your eye
c8_% and - uh - therefore, you
see more stars through the sextant
than you do through the - uh - with
the n_ed eye. :_ow I'll try it
agian. Uh - Perhaps I can get
a little bit on the next night
r_v after the sta_imeter,
but I don't know. But - uh - it
might take - uh - more - uh - It
might take longer tb get the
nuu_ber of sizhtlngs you w_nt.
We got - %th - I0 marks on each
star, which is _ start. And then
we'll go to the stadineter operation
now as soon as the horizon gets
w_ll defined enough on every si_e.
Uh - For example, it 's not going
to OCCur right on the time you
suggest. Uh - Let's se_, I
think you sUggested doing o_r sightings
_t 13:05. Well that's unrealistic
because there ain't any horizon
out there to work on. You can
only during the midpoint - uh -
[
of daylight with that stadimeter
because otherwise the horizons
are so Unde - so much - so
• undefined, that it's - uh -
Dump Ta_e 233-03
Page .9 of i0

possible to see what you're

doing. So we'll go off the
air low nc_ and wait until the
horizon gets good for the
st adimeter.

233 13 i0 27 PLT Uh - An - i_o. And the - uh -

temperature of the sextant
is now - u_h - 77 dezrees.

SC Hey, AI ...

233 13 13 O0 PLT Okay, TO02 again. I noticed that

your - uh - pad calls for -
uh - stadimeter up until 13:_5
roughly. And - uh - that
should be fairly well-defined
horizon during the day. Now the
other way to do it, is to -
uh - get them during the night.
Uh - I got a hunch that stadimeter
readings during the night here - is
gonna be better than those
du_ing the day, no - tth - the thing
you what to plan on is to - uh -
get them all around the midpoint - of
- uh - daylight or darkness, because -
uh - that way you get well-defined
horizons to put end to end or - uh -
next to each other. You wait until -
uh - close to sunrise or sunset,
why - uh - the horizons are so
diffuse that, although you may get
two good horizons, the third one
won't be any good at all in the -
uh - up side becuase - uh - it's
Just - _h - too diffuse to
match up to - uh - a more well-
defined - uh - horizon. But -
uh - seems like I was - uh -
considering doing some of this at
night, although I don't think
I've doine it yet. I tried it and
it looked llke it would be easier and -
uh - more accurate - uh - even in
the daytime.
 Page 10 of 10

233 13 i_ i_ PLT So - uh - I'll ."ignoff for

a little while and I'll pick you
Up in - uh - few minutes, - uh -
when the horizon gets better
for - uh - stadimeter in the dayoime.

about I0 to 15 minutes. Uh - my
A_4 operator informs me that we have
30 minutes of daylight left, which
means about 15 good minutes of - uh -
6 - 20 minutes of stadimeter time left,
so this will have to be the second -
uh - phase of sightings coming up. I
got two well defined items and one
bad oae at the moment. It varies.
It - uh - changes as you go. There's
always at least one bad one when you
find horizon, it seems like.

233 13 40 12 PLT MARK. That is 3.995.

233 13 41 36 PLT At the moment, the center horizon is

so well defined that it m-kes it dlfficult,
uh - with relatiQn to the two out-
er horizons, to -.uh - find out where
you are. Don't mean to be doing ,II
this complaining. It's nothing really
complaining; it's Just that - uh -
I want you to know that - uh - it's
not like _ classroom situation up here.
It's considerably different. Everything
is less well defined.

233 13 42 21 PLT MARK. 3.918. It's a matter of inter-

grating the total picture. You can't
Just take the horizon. You've Eot to
take the blue above the horizon and
the black above the blue and kind of
all fit to6ether somehow l_ke a puzzle.
And one time, maybe the white horizon
will - uh - r_tch up very well, other
t_mes, like right now, you can't match
the white horizons at all. You got
to kind of match the blue band in with
the black and - uh - kind of get all
the boundaries sort of looking like an

integrated picture, without relation

to - uh - a specific - uh - one of
those - uh - horizons. You got to
take 'em 81] together•

233 13 43 19 PLT MARK. 3.956. Okay, I'ii be back in

about i0 minutes to - uh - make a few -
the fin - the final trade of sighting
them as operational pass. And if I
have time, I might try to get some more
stars at night and see if I can make
hO sightings on two different Stars.
Uh - and I would love to see how the
rest of the housekeeping stuff goes.
And I'll be checking in with you in
a little while.

233 13 53 32 PLT 0May, space fans. Here we are, back

again for some operational sightings on
the - uh - horizon. Uh the last set of
the first past. It looks like the
horizon's off already so diffUsed that
it's going to be - uh - umusable.
Okay, the _rizon is sO diffused _-_ _'-
impossible to tell where it is. How
muchtime before uL sundown, 0.?

233 13 54 35 SPT 15 minutes.

PLT T_-nk you. Okay. And my ATM operator -

uh - tells me that - uh - it's still
15 minutes .to sundown. There really
isn't very much operational - uh - time
available during the daytime for the
stadimeter, nor during the Dight. You
have to pick some time in the midpoint
of darkness or the midpoint of daylight
to do your best work. Tell you what I'll
do, I'll give you some sightings here,
to the best I can do it, with what I
got to work with, which ain't much and
you'll be able to get a feeling for
the problem. You can put it anywhere
and it look all right. Looks Just as
bad anywhere is what I mean.

233 13 55 41 PLT Call it a mark. 2.143. Okay

I'll take - crank this thing way
off and try to come back to where
I was and see how I can do. Tell
you, if I depended on this for my
way to get home, I'd be mlghtly
worried right now.

233 13 56 28 PLT MARK. 1.962. Crank it off again_

try to get in there.

233 13 56 05 PLT _RK. 2.164 call that. Okay.

That conludes the operational
stadimeter sights, the first
set - uh -and what Id like you to
do now is - uh - to look at this
d_ta, and see if we ought to modify
our procedures or it this is what
you want to keep doing. Uh - my
suggestion on - uh - if we were really
going to do operationally, is to limit
our stadimeter sightings to - uh- plus or
m_nUS - uh - uh - 15 minutes,
with a plus or minus i0 to 15 minutes
at midpoint of - uh - daylight or
plus or minus - uh - 5 to i0 minutes -
uh - midpoint of darkness. Uh -
however, I'ii - uh - keep doing it
your way if you want, but - uh - I don't
think I'd do it that way operationally
because - uh - ut _ould - uh -
I'd be concerned that I wasn't
getting good enough data to get ,
ho_e on. And I'd be very reluctant
to rely on it at all. So,
I want some feedback on what we're
doing and I'll expect to get that
tom.row. And this concludes - uh -
T002-6 Alpha for now and - uh - if -
uh - things work out right I"ll try
to get some more - uh - star
sightings on the next dark side pass
and see if there's any way to get the two

depend on how the other - uh -

233 14 58 02 CDR Okay, this is the CDR, in regards to the

coronal transients. We went
to the roll and the - uh - up/down
left/right per - uh - instructions.
Before we' d done that, by the
way, this is the ATM run before
we'd done that, we looked at the
whlte light coronagraph, and sure
e_ought, in that area, you could see
a big round bubble. Uh - it was
about - uh - 7/8 the diameter of
the Earth, or about three quarters
the diameter of the - uh -
occulting - uh - occulting disc.
So - uh - it's a nice
dis continuity out in the corona•
We - uh - took some data . We gave
a little continuous on 52 until we
had to move off and point at it.
We stopped in the continuous,
moved off and we pointed in that
vacinity. You cannot see it on
H-Alpha. We haven't looked real
hard yet, in the _XUV, but we are.
We run - uh in the process of
l_,-ning a 5 minute exposure on 82B.
83 is not runing. We're doing
an active one long, which we
looked - uh - at _he - uh -
JOP A then decided that might
be what 56 needed and we're running
an M03 - -

233 14 59 19 CDR M30S256 because it looked like

that was what maybe 56 wanted to dO
from these indications. Adn
we're presently out there taking
some data at the moment.

233 i_ 59 30 CDR CDR out.

233 i_ 59 h0 CDR Also - uh - SPT suggested we put

the white ligh coronagraph cn -

uh - the VTR, so we gotta a

couple of minutes of that on there
I think you'll enjoy.

little XUV M0N on VTR. _e'll

if we can ... I'ii give you
4, 61 81 i0 integrations.

233 14 ii 53 CDR ATM run again. _e went back to

the center - the uh - the
disturbance in the coronal looked a
little different, so I took a
couple of frames of WLC I ran a
standard and when it- uh -
had - uh - taken a couple of frames,
I shut it off.

253 15 _i 26 CDR This is the CDR, debriefing early,

some of the A%_4 runs. This is for
/_ the ATM science room. I've
already talked about whet we did
with the - uh - white light
coronograph, what we did with the
cQronal transienta. I've been
rUrm_ng building block ii. It
replaces building block 2, htLilding
block ll JOP i ... step 2. And,
I'm going to be able to get in
- everything except a final c_plition
of 54 filter 3. it's l_mning now,
but it won't run out until after
effective sunset, if what I
understand from the ground was to
Just let it run. So we've got
everything there. I threw in an
extra mirror auto raster on the
network cell that we've been wurklng
on, so that you make sure you have
that, I got three grating scans,
so I think you'll have enough to do -
uh - Just about anything you want. Now
Dump Tape 255-04
Page'9 of 9

I'm gonna b_ve to run the

last - uh - exposure on 82A_
wavelength short. I'ii run
it Just before we get into
the - uh - the effective sunset
and that'll space it out Just
about as much as we can.

Jack on channel A debriefing the
last A_ run starting at 16:15.
We had a - uh - revision in
the pass through Hawaii. I got
your building block 2 at the
beginning of the end of - uh -
of the run and in the middle I
got - uh - the - uh - JOP
Bravo and the J0P - JOP 12 Dog.
Ub - everything came off - uh -
pretty much as advertised, in fact,
exactly as advertised. And -
uh - one - uh - c_e thing I did
that was a little different -
uh - that J0P - uh - 4B, building
block 33B where you - uh - are
asking for - uh - H-alpha 1
pointing - uh - it's - uh - since
the 82B was omm4ted, I did not
change the poiuting there. I Just
kept the pointing I had and - uh -
/-_ ran the AUTO RA_'I'5_in - uh -
5_ 56. So - un - _na_'s the
only differnce. Due to the fact
that the 82B wasn't _nning,
there's no point "_o - uh - pointing
at a dark element in the filament.
So - uh - if that nears a c_mplaint,
_e it the way you want it and -

232 19 08 02 SPT Okay, recording on channel A, SPT with

information for Dr. Bill Thornton and
anyone interested in the BMMD - B_4D
calibration. Okay, Bill, I ran the
subject's stability test Just a little
hit ago. We ran it during the solar
inertial time, during the daylight,
so there's no ... And here are the
numbers: with 131 belt; 6.08, _76,
465, 087, 265, 301. Of course the
first three digits were not repeated
at the end. The next with both belt
and shoulder harness: 6.08299, h43,
351, _02, 280. Now up to this point,
I'd had my buttocks pulled to the back
of the seat by the - the - uh - 131 belt.
And so I was not squashed down in the
seat the way we normally ride it, but
instead was pulled up toward the hack
of the seat. Now on the next sequence
I released the 131 belt, stuffed it -
F- sort of rolled it, and stuffed it under-
neath my shorts so _ to keep it from -
v uh - flopping around, the same way l'd
rolled up the shoulder harness for the
first sequence and ran it again. But
now I slid down to the bottc_ of the
chair - uh - the way I normally do -
uh - the - uh - w_7 we were instructed
to do - uh - for the normal body mass
measuring, so continuing now I'm going
to give you six numbers because I think
you may want to thr_- out the first of
the ... a little erratic or perhaps -
uh - uh - for some reason. I'll give
you six numbers: 6.06992, 6.07563,
685. _61, bOO, 805. Now the next
sequence was wlth moderate tension.
The first one was supposedly m_,
maximu_ with moderate. 6.06242,
6.o7_75, 913, 285, 9_2, 937. Again
I gave you six numbers. The next
sequence with minimum tension : 6.09365,
"0.1060_, 0.07778, 0.06821, 0.0906l. And
that's the end of the subject test, and I
hope you can make some sense out of those, Bill.

the reason he repeated the arm man-
euvers was because - uh -before you

cause he - uh --did the arm motions
with the - uh - left arm rest in the

repeat them with the - uh - left arm
rest in the full up position, and
that's what he did. Now, those are
all done in ID_ 1 and - uh - we

hear the CMGs running. He's got a nice
yaw going. Backs off a little bit, he's
flying at about - uh - 8 to 12 inches
from the - uh - dome lockers. He -
uh - comments that he's flying a lot
better today. The restraint is much
improved. And I've also noticed, by
the way, that when he - uh - makes -
uh - the thruster firings that the thing
doesn't move around on his back. He
seems to be quite stable with this
restralng mechanism. It's a good
one. Uh - glad you came Up with it.
And - uh - I recommend that you - uh -
go ahead and - uh - train that way.
We'll leave the restraints right on

going to be about T20_ should go to
Lou R_mon, Bruce McCsndless, Ed Whitsett
and others interested in not T20, 509 ....
M509. Debrief. Have _ Card in front
of me. I'll go through it and then I'll
make scme casual comments afterwards. _:i
Could you fly the ba,_eline maneuvers
_-- satisfactorily in all modes? Yes, Any -
modes deficient? Nn. Wh_rb n_q ._a _._,,_ u
_ No remark,except I'm still convinced
direct's the best. TKq - CMGs stable, rate gyro's
the worst as far as _etting all over
the place and you rock back and forth;
direct, I could fly it so much better
today than the othei days. Uh - let
me Just say whoever invented that new
restraint did a good job. It onlymashed
one thing. We need the pad that seat
past with .... The thing that we didn't
realize, it's obvious now that we're here
is that you've got to pull down as hard
on that as you do at one g. And man,
you know how it feels in one g, if you
have to sit there very long. Now the
same thing is true with T20, so when we
fly it, we're going to have to have
restraints on there, better than 509.
And better - better than the new improved
•509 because - uh - I mean if it kept as
rigid as that they'd be good enough, but
I suspect two couple of straps Just aren't
 . o

DumpTape233-09 .......
Page 2 of 9

going to keep you rigid. We got to

have something rigid on the TO20 from
back to - uh - bottom, if it's supposed
to do the Job. Okay, much better with
that new restraint. I felt like I was
strapped in I didn't - every once in a
while the back pack would move relative
to begin roll. But most of the time
when I was doing little ..., paying
attention, it really hung on there ...
The next time I fly it, and I hope we can
get to fly it a couple more times - uh -
I'm going to put the ... pad on it and
then the crotch - strap it even tighter
and I think it will be even better.

233 23 15 02 CDR Did you feel comfortable flying some

modes faster ... then •others? Yes/u,
you feel more comfortable, I believe •_
flying a - direct, because you don't feel •_-
like you're using gas, you put in a good i
r- solid DIRECT and you keep rotatinguntil
_ it's spent. And so I think you tend to
fly direct a little faster. The CMGs,
probably next fast for the same reason and
last is rate gyro because it - Just
makes so much noise .... everything you
get. Were thruster sounds a useful piloting
cue? Same answer=y,,s. Should any maneuvers
be changed for the _ext mission? Uh -
no, but I think we _ot to work on the
restraint moge. I think maybe with
improved restraints that the whole name
of the game can ohs_ge - uh - a little bit.
I don't think we're going to find -
suddenly find out the HHMU is the answer
to our prayers, or that direct is not
the best. But - uh ..I think new restraints -
improved restraints will help the Job
along. Let me mention something else
about the se three ... The restraints -
are made out of thin webbing. The buckles
• are - to me - look like they are designed
for a thicker webbing. So you end up, if you're
tight at the first, it - uh - very shortly
after the run begins you're loosened
 D_p Tape 233-09 ....... _--
_. Pa_e3 of9 .........

because the backpack has vibrated

around with thruster firings you've
vibrated around and you've sort of sneaked
out of the harness. Now this isn't
true if you're flying an airplane of
course, because you don't more around
that _ch. You don't get the const_ut
vibration that the thrusters give to
this. And - uh - also the webbing in
an airplane is much thicker - it's
harder to get through. Now I don't
know if you can bring up any additional ... t
but if you did what you'd want to do is -
bring some up that were thicker. I guess u
you can Just keep these - what I did was
ti - pull them tight snd then tie a knot
in them. But it might be better to get
some sort of clip and bring it up so you
pull it tight and then clip it. Holds _
them good and tight but the knots will do. c
If we ever build another one of these, we "_
want to buildit with thickerstraps,
._ or elsethinner- uh -buckles, sothat
- together theyhold_ _a_y
_I tightl_-on their
own.

233 23 17 05 Did your performance improve noticeably or

workload decrease with each successive
run? Not particularly todya, but I noticed
that my proficiency was way up today.
Uh - I think that Just flying it the last
two days had helped, T-20 helped; but
mostly I think the restraint helped. It
felt more like the simulator because
it didn't wobble around on you. You
felt like you were flying a firm machine.
Before we've always felt sort of loose.

223 23 17 33 Did you tend to become bored or tired

_uring the baseline maneuver? Not
particularly. If I did, I tended to fly
Just a little bit fzster because that's
what you'd do in real life. I don't
think we'll find I'm too much faster_
but it felt good to me. I didn't
try to fly as close to things. I don't
think you would. What's the use of
Dump Tape 233-09 .....
Page 4 of9 _

getting six inches from something? Stand

back. Give yourself some room. Controllability.
Did different acceleration levels ...
in different axes bother you? ... the
body? Not particularly. Did different
acceleration in different axes bother you?
No. Sane question, but meaning 1 ...
- the first is translation, the second is
rotation .--. No, not partieularlly I - I
think it's okay. Now we can stand a little
more in - in CMG, I think in ... pitch
and yaw but you accept it. Did you have
a tendency to pulse the EHC (as in Direct _bde)
when in Rate Gyro and CMG modes? Probably,
although I didn't notice it so much.
The first time I'd do it, well I'd
recognize it, then I wouldn't do it the
rest of the time, until the next maneuver

maybe, and then I wouldn't do it. Did you

make simuHarcous multiple axis rotations?
Generally not. In which mode was this the
easiest? Direct was easiest, next CMG. and
sometimesrate gyr _ Rate Cc_man_.- Rate
Syro.

233 23 18 53 CDR Did you feel like you might loose control
for some maneuvers? No. And some modes?
No. Did you feel that the Rate Gyro Mode
attitude rate and displacement dead bands were
so tight that normal limb motion caused
excessive thruster activity? I do feel
that way. Don't like it. Because you like
the dead bands, seemz to me, a little bit
tighter than they are now in Rate Gyro.
What you do, you find out that when they
are, you hit the stops back and forth
too much. Rate gyro .Is Just a ... for
my money. Did you inadvertantly contact
the OWS? Yes, one time with my toes going
up to-the Banjo. Did you sometimes use
your legs or hands to push? No, not today.
Is automatic attitude hold needed for the
baseline maneuver? Definitely not. Was
the solid feel and absence of deadhands in the
CMG a significant advantage? It was a
significant luxury feature. Is proportional
rate command needed? Nope. Was the ...
nonlinear RHC for Rate Gyro mode needed?
I think it is if you are going to do Rate Gyro

• r
 Dump Tape 2BB-09
Page 5 of9

because without it you get - have

difficulty moving small ... or, I think
it's needed if you ended up with that system.

233 23 20 15 CDR Do you feel that a rate greater than the 5

degrees per second maximum rate in the
CMG mode is needed? No, I think it's okay
- it could be nice, but its okay. Did
you - do you feel that the rate as, as
20 degrees per second Rate Gyro mode is needed?
No, I think, - no, I don't think so, I don't
think so Is 6 Degree of freedom control
required? 100 percent required. Yes.
Desired? Let me answer. We'd give up
any ... too dangerous. What was most
outstandingly different between on orbit
and 6 Degree of Freedom Simulator operations?
I guess the, uh - today I - the other
day I would have said the looseness of the
straps the - the rickedyness of the total
feel as you flew around. Today was
fairlysolid. Today I would be, uh, I
don't know. I guess I'd have to say
- here today I really for the first time
felt like i was flying. I felt like I
was part of the machine. Before I was
always kind of sitting on a machine, or
strapped to a machine. Uh, I felt that,
uh - the same way you feel in an airplane.
You don't, you don't look out to see
if your wing tips are in, but you - you know
you're in the machiFe. The wing tips are so
big, the landing gear is so far below
you. You're part of a machine after
you've florin it several times. And
that's the only way you can fly well.
You - you roll it. You - you - perform
the strafing run. Eventhough the
airplane is doing it, you do it.

233 23 22 23 CDR Today was the first day that I honestly

felt that I was flying a - around.
Instead of me on the maneuvering until,
the maneuvering unit flying around and
me holding on. I never had that feeling
in the 6 Degree of Freedom Simulators, and
the reason is, you got the gravity vector.
f- And the gravityvectorthere makes you
D_mrp Tape 233-09
Page 6 of 9

always hanging onto the machine. Flying

the machine and hanging on it. Here for
the first time, I and the machine, we're
sort of together. I think the restraint had a
lot to do with that. What was most
outstandingly different between on -
orbit and air bearing operations? 6 Degrees
of Freedom. No doubt about it. The
fact that when you get moving, you keep
moving by the way, one of the things I
did, I got up there and flew around for
a few minutes with the KHC in the partially
down mode. That was a sheer accident.
I didn't realize that it was down. I
kept saying, Wh'_hy am I getting these
unusual thrusts during thehand motion,
and the leg motion?"

233 23 23 h0 CDR Finally, I believe Jack said something about

it. So I lifted it up, and I realized
_mmediately that it had been interfering
with the Jet, and that uh - that was the
problem. I had no, uh - no desire to
keep it down, I didn't even know it was
there. That's why I went back and did
the arm - limb motions again for you. To
to give you better data. Now today a
couple of times I also forgot to put
to ... the mark button, but I think you
can sort ot out because I did most of the time;
80 percent of the time at least. Is
there a big difference between standing
On the rigid Degree of Freedom Simulator
and floating on - orbit in terms of response
of the system and feedback of accelerations?
Definitely. Much more difficult to fly.
Wait a minute. Response of the system
• and feedback of accelerations.

233 23 24 20 CDR Uh, I don't think so. I think that you

learn to fly real well, on the Simulator.
I think the Simulator's good to learn
to fly real well. Now you don't need
to learn to fly real we 1 except for
procedures. Because you can fly this
thing the first time you without really
try. No trouble in 811 modes. The only
thing that's difficult, I think, is
Dump Tape233-09
Page 7 of 9

..... learning how to fly around the baseline,

getting the data; and learning the procedures
of how to do it. How to read the checklist,
where you are in the workshop. If you
went out and did it cold without the
Simulator, you'd screw it up even more than
you tend to anyway. But the only way
you can learn the procedural part is to have
a Simulator and do it over and over.
But as far as flying it, you don't really
need it for flying it. Flying is so much
different in terms of - you don't have
the gravity victor. I remember flying the
HHMV or any of those others. Getting over
on m_ back and having this problem. Here,
no. Just look around and you're Just as
happy. Did you have a tendency to become
disoriented? No.

233 23 25 23 CDR Let me mention a couple of items here before

I forget. We got tc do TO20. We got to
come up with ... so that a guy flying can
feel he's pal_ of a machine. _._4'
.....
-_
now. It's like he's on pogo stick. And
being on a pogo stick, you know you don't
feel good. You gotta be strapped in.
You gotta be part of it. We gotta rigidize
ourselves to that seat. We gotta pad
it, and then we got_a rigidize that back
to our back, mad th_ back to the seat.
That's the most impQ,rtant thing. Of a]]
the things we've got out here, we got ...
clamps out here, we've got screws, nuts,
Bolts. We could fix this damn thing some -
how. I don't know the easy way, but you
all came up with an outstanding ... It
seems to me if we could do that to TO20,
we'd have a couple of good maneuvering
unit runs.

233 23 26 i0 CDI_ l'd like to fly 509 again or a couple more

times. T020, seversl times too. We
• got time. If you don't want me to fly,
if you feel ... if you feel that you
could get more benefit from having Jack
or co-pilot try it, do that. Whichever
 -. A

you think is best. Or both. But uh,

it looks like we got plenty of nitrogen,
and it looks like we're gonna have
the time.

233 23 26 B4 CDR When S073 fell out the airlock, we had

a Jettison it, that gave us a bunch of
free time. And I'll tell you, we're
working a lot harder up here than
anybody thought. And as a result, they
are looking around for things for us
to do. We've been doing some experiments
up here uh - but I believe yours would
have the higher priority. For examples
we've been running some calibrations on the _94D
we've been doing same, uh - house leaning
and s_ne maintenance and asks and my guess
is yours would have a higher priority
than both of them. But I don't know
the answer, and you'd have to coordinate it.
But I wouldn't hesitate to say that I
don't think the possibilities of doing a _
better Job are dim. Doing a better Job
as far as evaluating the system. It seems
to me, Cd, Lou, and Bruce, that we
could even look at it a little bit closer.
Things looked good today. This was a good
run. I think we owe it to the ... restraint.
It was a whole new vehicle. We might be
able to sel that - sell that, uh - new run
by the basis of Just the fact it was so
different with thing strapped to us. We
gotta do T020. Let's go fly TO20, til we get it
fixed. CDR out. This goes to 509, Ed
Winston, Lou Ramon, and Bruce ... You

233 23 29 19 CDR This is the CDR, recording ... about the

Bicmeds. It doesn't have anything to do
with experiments. But it may be interesting
to note this information. I'll tell you
something interesting. We don't sweat
too much. When we do sweat, we don't
have body odor, and when our bodies ...

noticed that you don't have much dirt in

We thought ATM pass began at 00:03. We
pulle@ off both JOP 15 charlie without
a hitch. Got the TV down link. And
when I got to observing time, I tried to
improve my technique for finding a bright
spot and I think I _'ound one and when I
got there, what I did was to give you a
modified shopping list item 8, leaving out
82B because we're a little short of film.
But the roll on this was 10BOO. Left/Right
was a minus 322. OT/DOWN was a plus 236
I gave you a 55A GRATING AUTO SCAN on
detector i and gave S056 a single frame
LONG. And that was on the bright spot
only, not on the region ... because I only
had about i0 minutes to hunt - and
photograph and I maXimized detector 1 on

23_ 03 29 28 SPT Okay, l'm going to be recording on

channel A with message - with a -
a message or messages that go to the
uh - PAO crew. This is information
that I had intended to record on the
video tape recorder, but I ran out of
tape. And so I want to record this
on channel A for use of the PA0.
And so it'll be necessary for them to
get a high-quality - uh - copy of this
- uh - voice transmission, so that they can
tie it in with scwe of the down-link
video. So this should go to - the in-
formation should go to Dave Brooks.
The information should go to - uh - stand
by. Well, to Dave brooks and to the -
uh - PAO personnel. Make sure it does
get to the people who see responsible fc_
- uh - the down-link video.

23_ 03 30 51 SPT Let's take a look at some of the images

which have been send down from the Skylab
spacecraft. First is a white light cor-
ona_1"apl,. This b_n_ to be in _ve-
lengths which are visible to the b-_-
eye, but they provide images that can
very, very infrequently be seen from
the Earth. In this case the solar tele-
scope has a _-,_er oT discs out in front
of it which block out the very bright
light from the disk of the Sun and only
allow the very faint corona to be seen.
This can only be seen from the Earth's sur-
face a few times per year at very special
locations when we are fortunate enough to
have a total eclipse of the Sun. As a
matter of fact, there won't be an eclipse
within the United Sta_es now for several
years, I believe.

23_ 03 31 37 SI°T In this case, however, we can see a very

good eclips of the Sun - uh - .11 e._e time,
2_ hours a day for days on end, right here
• in Skylabo And we've been busy recording
these photographs, following the behavior
of the corona - uh - for over 2 months now
 I>I"T Tape 234-02
Page 2 of
t_

- tth - - uh - the first mission and our

- _h - mission now. And we've Seen some
very interesting things. We've seen
transients occur. One week there's been
a whole gas bubble being blown out away
fr_n the Sun. And it's fanned out in a
big - uh - arch-like loop. And this'll
extend far out into the corona. And
finally the g_s will Just break out
through the confinement of the magnetic
field and be blown out into the wind, and
eventually it'll reach the Esrth'e
environment. As a matter of fact, when
it does, it frequently causes things to
like aurora.

23_ 03 32 28 SPT Now another instrument that has been

fascinating to observe here on the
Skylab is a view from what's called
cur extreme ultraviolet monitor. This
- uh - monitur views the Sun at wave-
lenghts only some 20 times as - uh -
- 20 times far shorter than wavelengths
_,, are oui_ _ _sponds. _nese
very short wavelengths - the Sun looks
quite differenct than it does in visible
light - the way we s_e with my eye.
Instead of a more or less uniform disc
it's very ... with a_tive regions provid-
ing much of the radiation. And so it
looks very blotchy _Id - uh - hatchy
where these active r__gions occur ....
are little bright points which have
recently been discovered.

23_ 03 33 15 SPT And the other thing's called coronal

holes, which are dark areas which have
only been surmised or hinted at until we
had the oppor tun_ty to study them in
rather great detail for the last few
months. And then we've even seen ...
transients with our XUV monitor. As a
matter of fact, we saw one this afternoon.
•.. there was a large - uh - cloud of gas
going away from the northwest limb of the
Sun. And it stretched the field lines and
caused a large - uh - loop - to exist.
And - uh - it continued to carry right on
out into the - uh - space beyond.
Dt_p Tape 23_-02
PaKe 3 of

234 03 33 55 SPT So this has been a very valuable thing

for us to use and - uh - in our studies.
But we also have a couple of other instru-
ments which are s_m_lar to those used
in ground laboratories. These are called
hydrogen-Alpha Or H-Alpha telescopes, be-
cause the light waves recieved comes from
hydrogen atoms which are emitted by vibrating
hydrogen atoms from the solar - uh - _hvomo-
sphere. Now - uh - these telescopes are
used because they shaw a lot of the fine
detail on the Sun. Not only the Sus spots,
but alos filaments end prominences, as
they're c_lled, of the llmb of the Sun, and
a lot of fine structure in the network on
the Sun's disc. And when we wnat to point
at small details for these particularly
interesting things, then we use our H-Alpha
telescope for pointing the large array and
then our X-ray and ultraviolet telescopes
for taking of detailed ... at wavelengths
which we do not receive c_ the ground.

234 03 3_ 55 SPT Now, another very interesting even that

we've observed - several occasions now -
are flares. And flares are very energetic
events. As a matter of fact, in X-ray
wavelengths - uh - from one little spot
on the Sun, covering Perhaps a fraction of
i Percent of the tot_l area of the Sun, is
generated i00 to i000 times as much energy,
at X-ray w_velengths, as is generated from
the entire Sun. Ans so these are really
enormous events end -uh -very energetic
things. And we've had the good fortune to
see several of them - uh - on this flight.
When they occur, we very quickly point ,11
of our instruments over to that spot on the
Sun and then begin taking pictures
very rapidly at all of the appropriate
wavelengths. And then when we get these
pictures back home, it'll be of great
interest to the solar physicists to try to
understand these hatter - Just what releases
this - uh - energy - uh - what causes the
trigger to be set off. And - uh - it can
even - uh - not only will tell us more about
the Sun, but it has potential applications

the locations are standard.

234 12 32 15 SPT The following comment is

for Drs. Buchanan, Rumme,
Miehels, and Mike Whittle.
I appreciate your comments
about the - D_h- reduced data
here on the BMMD exercise information,
a 1.2 pound DELTA across the
excercise interval. Uh - aKree
that - uh - obviously much went
into evaporation. And my guess
is probably two-thirds of it
evaporated sad only one-thlrd was
removed by washrag - uh - after
/_ the exercise. So - uh - T
thou_ht that point was - uh -
underatood, that - _h - most
of it was certainly evaporated.
Uh - howe_r, as to whether or
not 1.2 pound DELTA - uh - is -
uh - not too large, I suppose
depends on your poirt of view.
It is - uh - my understanding
that the fri@ndly nutrition
people - uh - had e)_pected or had
plarAued no correction to all for
any amount of water lost due to
sweating. And - u_h - since we're
talking about 500 to 600 centimeters
now of water unaccouuted for every
day s this is, I pres1_me, a ma_or
DELTA and their calculation. And
that's the reascm for wanting this
message addressed to Mike Whittle
• _s well, to make him aware of the
D.,..zmpTape 234-04

sort of DELTAS involved and

to ask that - uh - e message
be sent up to us - uh - from
Mike for someone else in that
area - uh - letting us know
how they intend to accoutn for
the amount of water lost - uh
during sweating.

234 12 34 22 SPT We'll have more on this message

234 12 42 _0 PLT MARK. And I'ii try to get you

three stadimeter sightings here and
uh - we'll - uh take three more
a little later on but they will not
be at 15-minute intervals cause

I 'm sorry.

234 12 48 32 SPT Okay, these co_nents again go to -

uh - uh - Drs. Buchanan, Michels,
R1m..el and - uh - Whittle, and I
completed my comments relative to
that weight loss doing exercise.
Uh - the problem only really
pertains to the - uh - for the
exercise people - uh - but
uh - as for comment about the
desirability of a walking type
machine onboard, my personal view
is, that there is no particular
advantage to having one - uh - the
ergometer - uh - essentially
exercises about the same srto -
set of muscles - uh - your leg
msueles for the most part, althongh
the wa1_ing machine might be -
uh - uh - a little bit more exercise
for the remainder of the - Of the
torso. But - uh - the wn1_ing
machine - uh - requires your body
to be moving around over a larger
volume, whereas the ergometer can
stabilize you to one position on the
chair. And it semns to me that -
uh - a treadmill type device is -
uh - not that _ch of an
advantage. Uh - it depends - uh -
somewhat on Just what you have in
mine - uh - Just somewhat to what
you have in mind. If it's a unique
design that perhaps - uh - would
provide a little more v_riety for
the exercise or a litle more interest

_- Page5 of 13 _

23h IB 01 25 PLT MARK. What I'm doing now in

spacing these - uh - stadimeter
makrs to - uh - to start a
sequence - uh - every i0 m/nutes -
uh - roughly starting at - uh -
40 minutes remaining on the
time remaining clock on the
ATM t_m_r _ 30 m_nl/tes
then 20 mir_ites. So there's about
20 minutes remainiug and I think
in about 15 we're going to start
losing the horizou, so we'll l
work - try to work on this
schedule - uh - today and - uh -
if we can - uh- stretch it out
a little more to - as a result of

what we found out today, why - we'll

do that the next time.
C_

23h 13 02 0O PLT But - uh - I think 15 minutes

is too long. The horizon is still i_
_ well enough ... awayto get s_e _
. _. _ _ reasonable - uh - data. _ ....

23h 13 02 23 PLT MARK. 3.967. Okay, let's crank it

off of there a littl_ bit and
try another one.

234 13 02 56 PLT MARK. 3.976 - 8 - 3.968 and here's

the third mark. Crank it off a little
hit. Bring it hack in there.

234 13 03 26 PLT MARK. 3.96_." 0k_y, that's -

uh - three sets of taree operational marks.

Each - Dh - the first makr

meaning - uh - spaced - uh -
lO-minute intervals and - uh - I'll
stand here and watch the horizon
for a while. And - uh - meanwhile -
uh - the way I 'm making these
stadimeter marks to - uh - kind
of integrate the whole .horizon
picture. Dh - the horizon -
.the white - uh - edge of the Earth
that - tth - you see varies - uh -
from horizon - from side to - from
 Dump Tape 234-04 ...... T
Page6 of 13 ........... _ :

East to West or whatever.

We'll call it side to side on
the horizon. The - uh -
Yt depends on - uh - how many
clouds you got 8nd - uh -
what the buildups are llke
and how much cirrus you have
and - uh - and so forth. In
places the cirrus is very -
uh - regular. Other planes
there's high cirras and its
whispy. And you Just - uh -
can't find a good well-defined
horizon. Dh - so that's
what makes it difficult to -
uh - match up horizons.
_ _ For example, as I look out to --
.- ! my right now, the - uh -
_' white - top of the cloud horizon - .
-:: _ uh - very well defined. I you look -_-
_ straight out the - uh - to !
_ the white top of cloud horizon, 5
_ .....
- that's well defined, and as I look ""
ou_ to my leY_ iZ_s very - uh -
portly defined. So you have three
different kinds of - uh - white
horizons or top-of-cloud horizon
right there. Now another - uh - feEture
of the horizon is that - uh - we
have this - uh - thin layer of blue
above it, which is the atmosphere.
And even that is -uh - apparently
ecm_ewhat irregular - uh - it then
- uh - it self diffases, of course,
into the black, and it's a very
gradual diffusion. It's not -
uh - well defined. So if you have -
uh - two well - uh - two - two
boundaries which are both not
well defined. So you really can't
line up any white boundaries or
any blue to black boundsmy.
What I've been doing is - uh -
kind of integrating the whole white
to blue to black - uh - picutre.
You can call it kind of sandwich like
and - uh - and - uh - kind of useing

............................. a little Ju ent - uh - try ............

to match them all up in the
optimum way not using any c_e
particular - uh - part of the
horizon but using the whole -
uh - white, blue, black - uh -
uh - as a reference to Joing
together. And - uh - if th_
white looks a little irregular,
I'll kinda Jump to the blue-
black edge and try to line
it up, and then when I get it
lined up, I'll look back at the
white and see if it's - uh - pretty
well lined up and Just kind of H

that's the way I've been doing it,
._ _ ! and it looks like tc me that's O
probably a_out the best way. 7,
Now I might - uh - uh - I ._
. " still want to do something _¢Ith v
that. Uh - we might - uh -
do even better than that because
uh - night horizon - uh -
often has the airg3 _ in it,
which is another reference point to -
uh - try to match up. 8o -
uh - Z think possibly, this

the - uh - window and off the -
uh - sextant as I hold it in the
window, and I Just canpt -
uh - make any sightings. This
horizon isn't well defined enough,
so it's cutting down our time
significantly. Tight's still
shining the discone antenna and -
uh - I see that other solar
panel there. Very a - dimly there's
a dimly - uh - dim horizon out
there, but its not good enough for
taking marks. I can't see that ...
to tell exactly where it is.
Sometimes I think I see it, but then
I - uh - see shadows on the Window,
too, and - uh - that's contradictory
information .... coming up over
there. We got Duhhe but we don't
have our horizon.

23B 13 30 52 PLT Now things are starting to

get better. I still can't -
uh - distinguish the difference
between the airglow horizon
and the real horizon,
however. I'm going to have to
wait a little. Not dark
enough yet. Occasion_]ly we get
so dark that - uh - we all
the stars and can't find out where
we are. That happens, too. I
think - uh - this is the pasit -
position we got caught in
yesterday where - uh - it wasn't
quite dark enoug yet, and I
mistook - the - uh - real
horizon for the airglow horizon and
later around as it got darker, I
noticed it.

23_ 13 31 37 PLT Or rather I mistook the airglow

horizon for the reul horizon.
I'm all set up and ready. I got
Dubhe and I got same kind of a
horizon out there, but I don't
know which one it is. I can see
stars below the horizon that I'm
looking at, so that obviously
must be the - uh - airglow
horizon. The airglow horizon is
very well defined. It's a
light ring - a light-colored ring.
Above the real horizon, its sort
of a cream-colored-pale cream-colored
ring and - uh - below that
ring it - uh - the white diffuses
gradllally to the black of the Earth.
You can see the light from cities -
uh - below and the thunderstorms
and fires and so forth. But -
uh - its difficult to tell exactly where
the horizon is because the white
diffuses into the black and we're -
• uh - getting some reflection from
somewhere. Maybe we've still got a
little bit of - uh - crescent -
 Dump Tape 234-04
•_ Page 13 of 13

crescent sunset - uh - reflecting

off everything. That's what it looks
like to me. I can still see the
discone out there and the solar
panel. Go some light on them.
It's really going to get dark.
That cuts down - that cuts -
really cuts down your time. If
I had some numbers for the airglow
horizon, we could use that. Maybe
you guys could could come up woth
some answers to _rhether or not it's
okay to use that airglow horizong.
I've still got Dubhe there.

234 13 35 47 PLT Well, I'm gonna have to get going and

get something done here.

234 13 36 25 PLT We still don't see a well-defined night

horizon below the airglow. Maybe,
the smart thing to do is to get
going and to put it at the base
of the diffused light layer and call
/'_ that the Earth hurizoa.

23h IB 39 ii PLT Now off to m_ left Z can see a

pretty well-defined Earth horizon.

Okay the ... Mphda right over there.
Must be about - tth - 18 degrees
above the horizon or so. Don't
know if I'll -_ke it or not.
It's starting to get light. Sure
is hard to find these stars in
the sextants.

23_ 14 03 53 PLT Well, folks_ I looked down there

for a long time but I never could
: find another star that I could _:
positively use identifying the
, . sextant. There _ust - unable ._:
to do it and I was wondering - uh -
I worked on F_-_lhaut for awhile _
- "_ "but it got too light to see that -
an_ - uh - I - uh tracked - uh - ,_
_ to get back to Diphda hut I
couldn't positively identify it in
the sextant either, so we're Jus_ "
gonna have to try different time.
And - uh - that's the way the
ball bounces.

234 14 iO 08 PLT - Here's a little more work on TO02

on the last pass. Uh - as you
knOW we only got one star positively
identified and marked and - uh -
the difficulty is not making the
mark. That's easy, once you
identify the star. One problem is
that - uh - first-the first star
you select has got to be - uh - uh -
on the side of the - uh - pointing in
the direction where - uh - the night
horizon hexes - uh - well defined
at the earliest possible time. In
this case it - uh - it - tth -
in from the left and gread_-_ly
pr0ceeded around to the right. So you
we_c,e a lot of time waiting for a
well defined right horizon. The
 Dump Tape 234-05
- P_e' 3 of 6 ..........
......... _--

air@low horizon - uh - appears well .......

before the - uh - earth horizon
does and so you could get earlier -
an earlier start if you can use the
airglow horizon. But - uh - uh -
I'm not sure that anybody know -
uh - the - the altitude - uh -
on that succesively. Uh - the
other problem, the one that _e've
discussed before, and that - ith -
it's - uh - difficult to locate - uh -
down by stars if the sextant ... has
lama_ks around it that are
visible with the naked eye. Uh - Diphda,
for _ample, is a star that - uh -
doesn't have recognizable "-
languors around the field of view of _
the sextant. Uh - Dahhe, on the
other hand, though it is _4mer star
does have - uh - hit points around _-
and was relatively easy to find on a couple _
_ of occasions at ... It has _upiter near :
it now and it also has that - uh two - __
uh - stars close together, which are
near it. Therefore, when you take
your eye out of the sextant to read
the numbers, or to search for the
horizon with thy other optical ste_f,
you can come back to it, because
in the same field of view you can
both see Dubhe and the two stars
near it. Or you can see Dubhe and
Jupiter. You can't see all - uh -
three of those checkpoints at once.
Dh - at least you have checkpoints
near by that you can see in the
field of view of the sextant.
Diphda, on the other hand and
the star that's out by itself
over there, you can't see it in
any other checkpoints. At the
same time, the sexLaat. Uh - it
appears to me what would be an
optimum would be to - uh - enlarge
the field of view of the sextant,

[
 Dump Tape 23_-05
Page _ of 6 '............. !_ '_

somehow, so that you could

see other checkpoint around
the stars like Du_he - corre._ion
like Dighda. Now, another
problem that I mentioned before
is this and that is that the - uh -
sextant carries more light than
the naked eye does, and you can see
more stars with a sextant than
you can with the naked eye. Therefore,
when you look out with
you eye to - uh - find a - uh - •
star, why - uh - you see ...
stars. Wherein you - uh - use
the sextant, why - uh - you might !
see the star you're looking at but
it has so ninny other stars around _,
=- it, that you can't see with the
naked eye, that you can't -.
positively identif_ in that manner. _ -
Now one - uh - solution to that
_ problem is to use filters, so that
you can filter out all the light _
that you - uh - can't see with
the naked eye so that you have
the same presentation through the
uh - sextant as you do with the
naked eye. I tried that with the
filters that we ha_ in the - uh -
sextant we're using, and with
both of the filter -with either
one of the filters _, yoU can't
see anything. So - uh - the
filters in the sextant that we -
uh - have right now possibly
would be changed to smmething else
which would - uh - give you the
same - uh - uh - light gathereing
uh - q_ty as the naked eye does,
so that the - uh - the out the
wlnduv presentation and the
sextant presentation would be the
ss_e. So, there's two considerations
here. One is - uh - filters - uh -
and the other is the field of view.
• • , Q

Dump Tape 23h-05 "' _- ............. _

Page 5 of 6 .....

And in the - uh - we also

discussed the idea of taking the
first star, such as in near
the horizon that appears near the
center. Now, - uh - T think
the next time that - uh - we do
this, that IIm going to pick
Fomalhaut and - uh - possibly
Dubhe, or l'd like to pick - uh -
one of the stars in group like -
uh AI Na'ir, for example.
And I think I could do a better
Job because - uh - I can find
Fom.lm=ut more easily than I
can Diphda I can find Dubhe more 5.
quickly than I cottldfind
Diphda simply because there's -
there are more checkpoints. View
that are more visible through "
the sextant and with the naked
eye. Now, a man could happen to
be a contortionist, and - uh -
I f_,11yagree With the _rineigl
- of - uh - uh of rotating the
sextant around the Window. However,
when you get some of these stars
that are at high elevations like - uh -
Diphda was getting to be there - uh -
and when the horizon has - uh - is
complete by 90 degrees - uh - exay
it's - uh - sometimes - uh -
pretty difficult to - uh - Just
purely rotate the sextant, and -
uh - find that - uh - star
your looking for. I'm getting
better at it and I'll try to improve,
bUt sometimes you Just have to
cock yourselves - yourself
around and - uh - use the sextant
and window. Uh - or when, for
example, the horizon is either low
Or high in the window, and the
star's a long way from the horizon,
wh_ then it becones - uh - diffcult

............. to - _ - resort to turning ........... =

yourself m_ounc!, instesd. So -

people M092 171 from the SPT
about to run - uh - _092 171 on
the PLT. On the - uh - calibrate
I did notice that the systolic/diastolic
pressures were slightly out of
tolerance. Instead of reading the
128 minimum, they were actually
reading126 - uh - 125 and 26.
Now the - that' s right, the
mlnlmuB was suppose to be 127,

F

and in high they were actually

reading was 125 and 26. In
low, the minimum was 68 and
the - uh - ESB was actually
reading 67. Also, the body
temp, minimum was supposed
to be I0_, it was reading more like
103. 8o it was sl_ghtl_
out of tolerance on the calibrate
high and low. The - uh - legband
are the ones that are standard -
uh - for the PLT per your uplink
pad, at Baker King on h_s left

on ch_-el A relatively to the

a m-_lal blood pressm'e
meam_re_e_t here and I got 115 over
80, whereas the ESS, at the same
time, _as getting about 103 over
70. And it looks to me like all
of these pressures are rllnn']ng -
uh - at least particularly this
systolic are _,nnlng too iov.
And occasionally, Jack was shoving
about 98 to 100, like it is 100
right now. I have a hard time
_lievi_g that. I think that - uh -
the _m,,=l results of the 115 are
more typical and mo_e - uh - more -
uh - accurate +-_=- the ESS at
these low pressure settings.

temp measurement is either eratlc

Or Imoperative. Maybe it Just
Jack's - uh - temperature sensor.
I don't know. But - uh - when he
had it in his mouth, it was 103 plus
which is unreasonable because be
does not have a feaver. And he's
nOw taking it out of his
mouth, hut it's still reading 102.7,
which I would also considered
unreasonable in asmueh as I have the
temperature here about 68 degrees.
SO, I don't know what's wrong with
that body temp. I'd appreciat any
comments you might have about wehterh
or not you thine this is Just his

remember the last - uh - reading

23h 16 07 07 SPT Okay, more information on

the 171 run we Just completed
are Just - uh - in the rest
period at this moment, by
the PLT, giving some blood
pressure measurements. From
the event time, I read 20 minutes,
manual blood pressure is 132
over 80, ESS was 116 over 55.
Time remaining 16 plus 30,
manual is 180 over 80, ESS
is 154 over 67. At Ie.45
time remaing manual is 205 over
75. ESS ready 179 over 53.
At 7 plus 45 time remaining
manual was 220 over 70.
The ESS read 179 over 53. At
5 minutes, Just as he was
quitting manual was 215 over 60;
the ESS read 192 over _5- So,
the number ... - uh - ESS
are lower systolic today than
usual and I think it's because
Jack was very carei_/i to keep
his left arm danglin completely free
and quiet any time the blood
pressure cup was - uh - inflated.
Personslly, I cannct do that because
I need the left arm for stability
on the hicyle. But Jack managed
to do it by - uh - uh - mostly
his head, I supposed. But, at any
rate, his left arm was
free doing these - .ah- ESS cup
measurements. And i presume that's
the reason they're lower, but they
still do not match weel the mauuml
measurements. I have no to doubt
the manual measurements. I think -
uh - they were taken reliably.

234 16 15 39 SPT Okay. Another cerementthat Jack

Just made on the - uh - possible
reasons for more shallow breathing.
He suggested that it might be
related to the dry atmosphere
that we're in. And - uh - such a
dry atmosphere tends to - uh - make
your throat dry - uh - and feel a
little bit raw. - uh --make your throat
a little bit. An_- uh - he
thought that might - uh - contribute
toward more shallow breathing.
If - uh - Ed Michael, if you have
any co_ent about that, why - uh -
we be pleased to hear your view
,_ on that, as well as, the
l_OSsibility that i mentioned on the
tape yesterday_ that part of it
might be related the fact that we're
supporting part of the force
exerted on the pedals by a counter
force with our heads against the
otherhead. And that downward
compressions on the chest might also
contribute to the more shallow
breathing. End of this message

So, essentially, we 're caught

up now. The only problem I see it
is to try to make sure that we
continue to follow the same cell.
Now the cell that appears to be
is starting to break up. It
doesn't a good defined outline anymore,
however, there are tern Ix_ints near
it. Another problem that -
uh -hasn't been considered and would
have really dealt misery if it had
not been for the fact that we kept
the point at the cell at all times,
is - an initially the cell was
at minus 8007 rool, 2.6.aud a
i00 - uh - that's 2.6 down that'd
be a minus 2.6 and minu lO0. Now
when we came around the next day
pass, at the same spot the roll
ready minus 5255, the down was 257
and the left was 095. Now I don't
think these the othcr two are too
/_ bad because of rotations, but his
roll changed without me changing
it, is a little bit strange.
Now, maybe it does that every night, I
don't know. I tried to lock on a
star this pass, get a real good one;
could never get a good lock on a star.
So we'll point it r_.ght at the cell
and then maybe tomorrow we'll see find
it and see what our roll is then.

:" ] people. M092/171 on the SPT. About
to run a M092/171 on the PLT. On the -
uh - CALIBRATE I did notice that the
i SYSTOLIC, DIASTOLIC pressures were
slightly out of tolerance. Instead
of reading 128 minimum, they were
actually reading 126 -.uh - 125 - uh -
126. Now the - That 's right. The
minimum was supposed to be 127 and
in HIGH, they were actually reading
_ 125 and 126. In LOW, the minimum -
was 68 and the' ESS was actT*_lly w,
' reading 67. Also the BODY TEMP minimum ,i
h_ , was supposed to be 104. It was reading __
_L,• more like 103. So it was slightly out _
--
_ "_ J of tolerance on the CALIBRATE, HIGH and
c- ( LOW. The - uh - legbands are the ones

_- 23h 15 17 32 SPT Okay, this is the Sl_f recording on

.... chaxhuel A relative tc the M092 run :
..

. . on the PLT. I Just took a _nual -_

[
blood pressure measurement here and .
I got 115 over 80, whereas the ESS at
the seine time" was getting about 103
. over - uh - 70. And it looks to me
like all of these pressures are running -
uh - at least, particularly, the systolic
are x.,nning too low. And occasionally -
uh - Jack was showing about 98 to i00
like it is i00 right uow. I have a hard
time believing that.

234 15 18 02 SPT I think that - uh - the mam_,-1 results _

. of 115 are more typical" and more - uh -
more - uh - accurate than the ESS at these -
uh - low pressure settings. :

234 15 20 21 SPT Okay, SPT back on cb-nnel A. Now one

other anomaly we have noticed and that
appears that the BODY TEMP measurement
is either erratic or inoperative. Maybe
it's Just Jack's temperature sensor, I
don't know. But - uh- when he had it
in his mouth, it was 103 plus, which is
unreasonable because he did not have a
fever, and he's now taking it out of his
mouth and it's still reading 102.7, which
I would also consider unreasonable in as
much as our ambient temperature herin is o_
about 68 degrees. So - uh - I don't
know what 's wrong with the BODY TEMP. I 'd
appreciate any comments you might have about
whether or not you think this is Just his
own - uh - temp sensor or what. I do
r_member the last - uh - reading I had -
uh - was a reasonable one with my own -
uh - set of electrodes and - uh - temperature -
uh - sensors, 98 plus, so - uh - perhaps
we can Just change his out.

234 15 21 15 SPT But let is know what you think. If

you're not concerned about it, we aren't.

234 15 21 57 SPT One more word for MG92/171 people. We

did use cuff ll again - uh - and Just as
A1 reported - uh - when I ran yesterday.
Uh - I'm not gonna report any longer on
the - uh - legbands used or the cuff
used. It's always going to be serial ll
and it's going to be Baker King Baker
Uncle on Jack, Just the ones that have
been called up you - uh - his legbands
unless there is some - uh - change.
And - uh - we'll let you know if we
do change any. Similarly, the saddle
is set again at position - uh - before
the run starts. The hipbone is slightly
outside of the iris, but as soon as we
get up to 30 millimeters or so it - uh -
!_111_ your torso right down at the top
of the hipbone. So we believe that to
be about the right saddle position for
Jack to use, and we will again - uh -
 Dump Tape 234-09

continue to use saddle position number 7

with no further comments unless - uh -
there's some reason to change that.

234 15 23 ll SPT End of this particular message to the

92/171 PIs.

234 16 07 07 SPT Okay, more information on the 171 run

Just completed. We're Just - uh -
in the - uh - rest period at this moment -
by the PLT. You'll need some - uh -
blood pressure measurements. The EVENT
TLMER read 20 minutes. MANUAL BLOOD
PRESSURE was i32 over 80 ; ESS was ll6
over 55; time remaining, 16 plus 30;
MANUAL was 180 over 80 ; ESS was 154
over 67. At 12:45 time remaining,
MANUAL was 205 over 65; ESS read 179
over 53. At 7 plus 45 time remaining,
MANUAL was 220 over 70, ESS read 179
over 53. At 5 minutes, Just as he was
quitting, MANUAL was 215 over 60; ESS
read 192 over 45. So, for some reason,
the - uh - PSS numbers are lower in
SYSTOLIC today than usual. I think it's
because Jack was vers- careful to keep his
left arm dangling ccmpletely free and
quiet any time the blood pressure cuff
was inflated. PersoDally, I c_nnot do
that because I need the left arm for
stability on the bicycle. But - uh -
Jack m,naged to do _t by - uh - uh-
mostly - his'head, I suppose; but, at
any rate, his left arm was free during
these ESS cuff measurements, and I
presume that's the reason they're lower,
but they still do not match well until
the manu_1 measurements. I have no
reason to doubt the zlanual measurements.
I think - uh - uh - uh - they were taken
reliably.

234 16 08 54 SPT Okay, that's the end of the comments

to the 171 PIs. SPT out.

part of the i - MI71 data.

234 16 15 38 SPT Okay, another comment that Jack Just made

on the - uh - possible reason for more
shallow breathing. Uh - he suggests
that it might he related to the dry
atmosphere that we' re in. And - uh - such
a dry atmosphere tends to - uh - make your
throat - uh - dry and - uh - feel a little
bit - uh - raw - hurts his throat a little
bit and - uh he thought that might con-
tribute toward more shallow breathing. It -
uh - Ed Michel, if you have any more comment
about that, why - uh - we'd - we'd be pleased
to - uh - hear your view on that as well as
the possibility that I mentioned on the tape
yesterday that part Of it might be related
to the fact that we're supporting part of
the force - uh - exhibited on the pedals -
uh - by a counter force with our head against
the overhead. And that downward compression -
on the chest might also contribute to the
more shallow breathing.

In addition to that, the very first
thing I did was list the item which was
JOP 12D, step 1 on the previous pass
that I had omitted because I started
late hunting for a proper cell. So,
essentially we're caught up now. The
only problem I see is to try to make
sure that we continue to follow the same

starting to break up. Uh - It doesn't

near it.

10S 64 on S05_, and - uh - I thank you for
picking that up and - uh - calling my attention
to it. I - _h - chan@ed the amp 10S 6_ and
I was able to run - uh - that filter, although
there was not time before sunset to run -
uh - filters 3 and 6, on S05_. I - uh -
cut the - uh - frame at the time when I -
looks like I moved off 5 frames and - uh -
the - uh - program mode. I also, I got most
of an act - uh - active one lone for S056

however - and that O_her thing is I've made
another sketch of the corona from the S052
display, and I noticed that the - uh - that's
separate fr_ yesterday, of course, is that
we don't see that - uh - loop in the corona

the only other difference that I note is
that - uh - the southwest limb at abont 0 -

observation I can make at this point and

we're going to have to - the right amount
of time to complete this, about 30 seconds
a minute early, Karl. We'll let her run
and ... we'll go back to M131-2, - uh - and
I'ii answer the debriefing questions - uh -
on my own run. This is Lousma, PLT,
answering questions fo r M131-2, Question
m,mher i: Describe the degree of difficulty
relative to ground based trails in making
spatial orientation Judgment.

234 21 36 05 PLT Well, l'd have to say that it's a - a

little more difficut_v to - uh - know
exactly -uh - hwere the X-axis is. It's
easier to know where your backbone is. I
found that the ... you straph _urself
into the seat, which gives you a sort
of a one-g cue on th_ seat of the pants,
around from - across the back, makes it
easier to find your backbone. When you
first try to find the X-axis in the
external mode, it's relatively easy. But
when you get to the fifth - fifth meas-
ment every time, why you're starting to -
I feel like l'm starting to lose it.

234 21 36 44 PLT So, there's a little more difficulty

in the - in the -making the Judgment.
Did I experience any conflicts between
sensory cues , particularly when making
Judgments with respect to the external
frame of references? If so, explain.
 Dump Tape 234-10
i-_ Page 8 of 9

PLT No, I did not find any dlf - conflicts

between sensory cues. I didn't feel
any sense of rotation or vertigo. Dh -
I nerely tried to picture in my mind
where my backbone was, and I could feel
that pretty good because of the proximity
of the chair. My rear end and my back.
I had to remember some of the cases
where the X-axis was when we ware external.
And so it made it a little more difficult,
but - uh - there weren't any conflicts.
Did I at any time experience a positive
sense of the upright?

23_ 21 37 38 PLT Yes, l felt a visual sense of the upright

as it -As I've discussed before, the
upright is what we're used to training
in in the one-g trainer. So, visually
there's an upright. If I were suspended
free in space without the fastening down
of the - fastening - being fastened to
the chair, why - uh - I - uh - would
p probably not have particular sense of
upright ... with ntv eyes closed. I'd
have to - uh - open - uh - open my eyes
to - uh - get a sense of the upright with
respect to the geometry of the inside of
the spacecraft.

23_ 21 38 12 PLT Were your Judgements influenced by auditory

cues or other envior_mental factors? The
answer is no. Did the line target appear
stable and under your complete control
during _he settings? The answer is yes.
It was stable; it was under my control -
no apparent movement. Additional cn_ments
and observations - I think l've already
made additional c_mm-nts and observations -
in answer to questions - uh - i and 2 and 3.
So that concludes the debriefing and the
data for Owen's run and the debriefing of
the qhestions for my - my own run on M131-2
for Jerry Homick.

2B4 22 30 09 CDR This is the CDR, and this information is

for biomed. I'm getting ready to answer
some questions for the MI31-10GI test.
Did you have extensive rotating or other-
wise moving during the test? Definitely
at certain times I did - uh - although
I think I did rather poorly, I don't know
how much of that is sleepiness - _rowslness
as I took the test. How much was - uh -
uh - lack of practice on this for quite
some time, I don't know. But - uh - I'm -
my feeling is I p_obahly did poorly. I
noticed that even in the stop position
I think I looked at the line, it appeered
to move rlght. I felt myself I had it
right by it but the data made it show
otherwise, or it confirmed it.

23_ 22 30 54 CDR 2. Did the llne target ever move in a

direction other than expected? Yes.
One time when I was -- uh - I don't know
what I was doing, _I of a sudden it
J_ped a couple of times_ rotated each
...... whlpp
and then everything after that was okay.
Addltionsl comment. Uh - I don't think
you'll have any problems - uh - getting
my - uh - uh - data correlated with the
things we took before flight, s/though
we didn't take anything close in, we
did take slot and - uh - I guess there's -
uh - hope that you w_ll be able to get
same useful data I assume that you feel
so too or you wouldn't have suggested it.
CDR, out. That information is for the

Dump Tape 234-11
Page 2 of 14

I think it's more difficult - uh - for

the same reasons I said last time. And -
uh - especially because of the fact that -
uh - you have no gravity vectors you
have - you have a difficult time remem-
bering - which way, not your backbone
is, that's pretty straight forward but
which way the vertical is relative to
it. You can do it mechanically by
remembering where your back bond is sad
that so many degrees have past. But
if you try to visualize it in you
mind ... at least it did to me. Did you
experience any conflicts between
sensory- ? Definitely. The ... telling
me where the vertical - space craft
vertical was and my idea of where it was
in my mind's eye often times they were
... In the internal frame - no, ev_ry-
thing was copacetic .... Did you at
anytime experience the positive sense of
the upright? Yeah, I usually have a
positive sense of _t and - uh - maybe
I - I may know it's _rong, but I seem to
have a sense of it. Were your Judgements
influenced by auditory cues or other
environmental factors? I don't think
so ... Did the t_rEet appear stable and
under your complete control during the
settings. Uh - ell it was out of focus
alot as I was drowsy. Uh - it didn't
seem to move, it _as more that I couldn't
get it in focus often in much the same
as you have when you're driving late at
night and you need to go to sleep. Things
don't focus too well. Additional comments
and observations. None of - uh - none.

23_ 22 39 _i SPT 0kKy, this is the SPT recording on channel A

with information for E. Gibson and A1
Holt and anyone else interested in the
design of a portable telescope to be
brought up on SL-4. And it is necessary
that this information he gotten to them
as soon as possible. I won't make it
over there this evening _ let's see I'm
F Dump Tape 234-]-1
P_e B of lh

recording this at 22:40 Zulu, 17:40

tonight; so sc_etime tonight. Could
be called out to their home telephones
or - uh - whatever way it can get them
as the - uh - _t should be transmitted.
Now Ed and A1 end others, I sm sittin_
in front of window 24B that's the STS
window 3, right now. And it does
appear to be a convenient window -
uh - in which to mount a portable
telescope. Now there are number of -
- places to mount it. There are
two - MY head is pointed incidentally
toward the workshop and m_ feet are
pointed toward module, and my shoulders
are sort of overlapping the - panel 225
the 02N 2 control system end my right
shoulder is up against the circulation
fan. And I can get down in toward the
window Just - uh - uh - well I can't
squeeze _ll the way into the window.
But with the telescopeI expectmy
shouldei_ w_uld sto_ j_t about th_
front of this 02N 2 control panel. Now
as far as the mountlngs for the telescope
are concerned the ssme moUntln_s that
we've talked about before still -stil
appear to he optimum.

234 22 hi 24 8PT You may remember these was an old

condensate tank that at one time -
Dh - for launch had been placed over
this %rindow. And there are four ...
fasteners still avsdlable for mounting
that telescope. The ... fasteners, the
Irpper two towards the workshop are in
a longitudinal beam end the other two,
at the bottom of the window, are in
sort of a transverse beam running
elrcumferentially around the MDA. And
so these four ... fasteners - llh - could
be used for the design - uh - for - for
mounting of a porta_ie telescope. Now
you'll went to remember that there is
a handle up here at the top of this
window - end by top I mean the end of
/-_ window towards the workshop, cause that's
the way my body is oriented right now.
 Ik_p Tape 234-11
f-_ Pa_e .4 of 14

234 22 42 14 SPT Toward the top end of this window

there is this handle that opens the
shutter over STS window number 3 stud
whatever mounting brackets you have
it had ought to be able to - %th -
clear that handle. And - it would
have to be able to clear the handle,
as a matter of fact the design should
enable you to open and close that -
out window with the telescope installed.
Now the telescope I think should come
straight out avay from the wfndo_ and
then it'll have to have a mirror at
the front - front to fence it over
towards the Sun. And as I recall we
angle it about 35 degrees, it's either
that or it's complement, but I believe
from this window it's 35 degrees towards
the Solar direction. So they'll need
this little mirror at the front of the
telescope, and then the - long path will
come right straight out toward the
observer. I noticed in the pad ...
19 Lu 26 inches - -

23h 22 43 12 CC ... the next couple of days in fact -

u_ - one was observed in Alaska - -

SPT I think that's a little bit too long.

CC ...

SlPT It seems to me like about 15 inches is

as far out as it ought to come.

CC ...

SPT 15 inches out from the window will bring

the ... level with the ... handle here.

SPT ... it's possible _here the telescope

can come out further then that, but it
_eems to be undersirable unless there are
very strong opitica/ reasons for wanting
it to be that long. I don't think it's
desirable for it to be longer than about
15 inches and that would bring the eye-piece
 i

Dump Tape 2B4-II

Page 5 of 14

right out about - uh - p_rrellel to

this blue handle on panel 225, and that
would seem to be about the - uh -
optimum location.

234 22 _4 05 SPT As far as ... are concerned let me tell

you how _y body is ... to locate ...
My feet really straddl_ AFT light
fixture number 4 t_A light or MDA
light number 4. As a matter of fact,
that light doesn't work right now,
anyway. I don't know whether it's going
to get fixed or not but at the moment
that's where my feet are located. ]_y
left foot is down on the left side of
it, and goes all the way to one of these -
close-out covers above the ATM panel.
And so it's possible that a foot restraint
could be mounted right in there.

234 22 44 41 SPT I think it would be desirable if there

was some sort of little shoe thatyou

could put your fool into. Over u_ bi_=
right handle side, m_ right foot Just
tucke_ in between a _ouple of these air
duct pipes and I doz 't see any convenient
pla_e for a foot restraint over there.
Quite truthfully I don't think you have
to have a foot restraint, because - uh -
Y can brake myselft _ith my legs and
shoulders and arms zight in here quite
soli_Lly. But it would be deBirable if
you could get one to have at least one
foot restraint - it would be above the
PC_PM number 2 and - uh - uh - not in the
way that my body is - uh - to - uh -
allow my body to be oriented as I'm
presently describing it, and with my
head up towards the - uh - workshop here.

23_ 22 _5 25 SPT Now let's see if I've answered most of

these questions. Optimum length - I've

question of how it - the alignment screw

SPT - - but I think the desirable thing

is to tie in to those - -

SPT - - uh - stand by for a moment, I have

to answer that.

one shoe would probaoly be adequate.

234 25 47 h6 SPT The design - now, scmething pretty simple

I think is adequate. Uh - as fas as the
H-alpha is concerned, we've had no
indication that there's anything - uh -
marginal about our H-alpha telescope put
on board. The - uh - ... have been
working well, the ... mechAn_ sm has
worked fine the vidicons have given us
no problem and it seems to me like the
onboard H-alpha is apt to be in pretty
good shape. On top of that there is
relatively little time, during the
sunlight pass, to come over here and fool
around ... Now it's true that there's a -
there might be a little bit ... on your

flight, Ed, if you don't get more film

up. If you do not get more film and do
have extra time, then the ability to
•.. might be of - of an advantage that
we do not have here with these telescopes.
But - uh - as you can tell we've - uh -
been working at a great rate, consigning
a lot of film and - uh - we do not have
time to devate to any other activities
while we're - uh - running these JOPs.
So unless you - uh - can ... the - uh -

free time available to come over here

and use this telescope more. I don't
think - uh - that you %rill have much
time for fooling around with the optical
H-alpha. And at - uh - at the moment
and - the - uh - At the moment it looks
like our present H-alpha telescope Is
going to he working well. A1 Bean Just
the - uh - very pertinent comment that
the image is pretty small - uh - when
viewed - uh - through the - uh - eyepiece.
I don't think you're going to be able to
get the resolution - uh - w_th - that we -
that we can with the 5-inch monitors over
here. And so that's Just something to keep
an extra H-alpha telescope, but at this
stage if you're in a hurry to get the
thing, I'm inclined to think that the -
uh - uh - alignment telescope we are
looking at the c_et will be the one
of most - As far as its use for JOP 13
is concerned I don't really have any
way to know right now bacause we have
-_+ +.... _^_ a _? 13. We ha;= _uu
had time during the first film load to
even attempt one. l'_'e
are certainly
hoping to Just as soon as we get these
rate gyros in on thF next ... But as
to whether or not we'll find it of value
or how much value ... only be speculation
that you can ra_ke as well 8_ I can at this
point because we both are starting with
essentially zero experience in performing
JOP 13. I'm very hcpe1911 that we will be
able to do it rigght on our gyros,
but we'll have to see, so if there are any
other questions that you want to ask in
the morning before the ... TV, please - uh -
give us a e_ll and see when in - when in
schedule we can have a few minutes to talk.
So - uh - I think I better stop here so
that the transcribers can get this word
through the mill tonight. Now this
information goes to Ed Gibson, A1 Holt,
and any others interested in the design
of the portable telescope for the SL-h flight.

uh - uh - Hasselblad photographs in
particular - uh - of these reefs;
however, I did not see many of the
reefs extending farther to the - uh -
south. Uh - uh - I haven't checked the
map - or I don't have a map which shows
me the extent of the reefs. I had the
impression that they covered a larger,
longer portion of the coastline - uh -
than - uh - that which I was able to see.
I suspect they really did only cover -
uh - the section which was visible
because there were not too many clouds
to the south; it wa_ Just that I couldn't
see them. So I suspectthat I did -
uh - see - uh - most of the extent of
the reef. Now my guess as to the extent -
I - would be s_neth!ng like 500 miles.
Uh - it seems like ! had the opportunity
for - uh - a couple of pretty good -
uh - Hasselblad phctos which would not
have overlapped. Aud so my guess is
s_nething like a 500-mile extent. As
fas as the color of the water is concerned,
of course, it's vet# easy to see that they
are reefs because it turns into the very
typical like green - uh - coloring. Uh -
uh - Just like it does off the Keyes,
for example, when we get into very -
uh - narrow - uh - very shallow waters.
Uh - I suspect the photographs will have
to be used to - uh - be more specific as
to how well water depth can be estimated
: from color. But certainly - uh -
subjectively, it can't be done. As far
as current flow by observing sediment
plumes - I think we're talking about
current flow from the - uh - The next
statement asks specific about riverboard
 Dump Tspe 234-11
/-_ Page 12 of 14

sediment plumes along the coast. We

were too far off the coast to see any
of that. We must have been a couple
of hundred miles or so off the coast
of - for much of that pass and I didn't -
uh - notice any opportunity for observing
the riverboard and sediment plumes.
And I also did not notice any refraction
patterns in the water. So I really
think that a good part of this
interpretations is going to have to be
done with the photos after we get back.
And general comments, particularly, I'd
like today that when we were - uh - taking
a look at Rio. It's difficult to find
a target as small as a couple of killi-
meters - uh - a little small - uh -
lagoon.

23h 23 i0 35 SPT And make - uh - usefulvisual observations

about it in terms of such things as
coloration, sediment plumes and so on.
And at the same time, get any sort of
f_ pno_ograpny. Un - I reallydidn'tsee
this - uh - this site at all until it
was already pasted us because of the cloud
coverage to the south of Rio. And -
uh - even had it been a perfectly clear
day which as it turued out, it really
wasn't, I think - uh - it's - uh - a
little too much to hope for to get
both - uh - photography and useful visual
observations of targets as small as a
couple of kilometers in ... However,
we'll keep at it and we don't wsnt to
discourage the discussion on the pad.
it's Just that I'm - uh - not too hopeful
of being able to provide you with answers
to a large fraction of the - uh - questions
that you sent up on the pad. So - uh -
uh - keep'em coming EREP and we'll have to
take a closer look of f the - at the
photographs when we get back, and - uh -
see - uh - what sort of useful interpretation
we can make. Incidentally, I assume that
you do have copies of - uh - that book
which we have on board a little notebook,
 Dump Tape 234-3-1
f Page 13 of 14

which was prepared by sc_e of our

friends up at Goddard, Dr. Paul Lohman,
Dr. Herb Fry [?]. And I noticed many
of the targets that you are asking for
are also covered in there both geographical
trzgets and the - uh - same of the
meteorological phenomena. When possible,
of course, uh - uh - to have targets that
are listed both places it seems to be
an advantage to do that, because it -
uh - for - uh - uh - that makes a higher
the probability that these targets
will be of interest to a larger of number
of people and - uh - receive a greater
number of people and - uh - receive a
greater amount of study. While I'm on
that subject, I also was wanting to
m--_e sure that you did plan to expose
all of our 190B film that's onboard. I
did see - uh - had the impression that
we didn't come to anywhere near exposing
half of the 190B film during the first
part of this mission. And - uh - if
_ th_L:s so i wonder if you are planning to
expose all the film, and if not why we
don't - uh - take that-camera and put it
in the SAL and - uh - do some photography
over the - uh - that are of particular
interest - uh - for this photographic
coverage. So if you could - uh - con_ent
on that sometime in the next few days, I
would appreciate it

234 23 24 36 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on

channel A, debriefing the last ATM
run for ATM guys. The run was started
at 21:h8. I did all of your J0P 4 Bravos,
and the filament that you referred to -
filament 42 is kind of busted up right
now. It's broken up into three dark spots.
And since we don't have any R-alpha, I'll
describe to you the filaments, and you can
look back at sc_e of your more recent H-alpha
photographs and know what I'm t_1_ing about.
Now the roll that these photos were taken at
was close to 00 from north and at the top.
I went down to 220 at 0.8 and picked up
filament 47 and facing m3 in the monitor
in the Sun orientation I mentioned, fila-
ment h2 was three black spots on a horizontal
line left to right. The building block 36
Alfa was taken on the middle black spot - the
black spot in the middle. There was no need
to worry about roll orientation because
82A and B weren't running. The building

spot - that's left. The first building
block ll was taken on the right ... spot
and the second building block - and
final one - was taken on the left ... spot.
In the first building block ll, S056 hung
up PATROL SHORT in FILTER 3. However, it
worked good after that.

235 00 03 17 SPT This is the SPT on channel A

with a message for Story Musgrave -
Dr. Musgrave, Dr. Bill Thornton,
Dr's Rummel and Michael, I think will
be the four most interested in it.
The message relates to use of the
restraint harness which Story designed
for work with the ergometer. And
which is - not been of very much
service to date. /L1.Bean rode
•.. yesterday, and made made
comments which he's transferred
on the real time link already to
the extent that it works pretty
well for him. In my own case ,.
today, I Just got through more or
less running my standard protocol.
Which l've been doing for the last
- uh -oh, I0 - week or I0 days.
I start off with i00 watts for
2 minutes; 125 watts for 3 minutes;
150 watts for 25 m_nutes ; about
/-_ _350 watt minutes over a period of
- u/i - },,_i_"_L huu_-. Nuw, i
found that using the restraint
system, I could not have delivered
that much work without the use
of my arms. But let me go back
a step and explain what I normally
do. Normally, I sort of divide the
upward force between my head and my
arms, and my torso position relative
to the pedals is about the same as
in riding a bicycle in one g. In
other words the line up vertically
through the pedals goes in front of
my pelvis, and would more or less
intersect my chest if I were bending
over the wheels a little bit. Now,
on the erg_neter, with the r -
harness system the way it is, A1
has already mentioned that somebody
put a tripler on that front strap,
that goes down in front of the crotch
and attaches right in front of the
 4_

Dump Tape 235-01

Page 2 of Y

bicycle seat. And that triplet

m-kes the material so thick that it
will not fit into the slot.

235 00 05 20 SPT And so therefore, there is no way to

restrain your waist harness back to the
seat, and when you pedal without
your hands on the handle bars and you
pull up that - uh - restraint
system in the front and the hack,
it pulls your pelvis too far
forward and my shoulders were too
far back with respect to the
ped,ls and I could not get a good
angle for the delivery of - uh -
work into the pedals. So, what
I ended up h_ving to do, I did
not use my head on the overhead,
but I did have to use my arms
forward on the handle bars to pull
my chest forward. And this
allowed my pelvis to sort of
/'- pivot hack and again place my
torso in a - in sort u£ a
normal relationship to the
bicycle pedals. And I then delivered
the - uh - standard amount of
work that I've mentioned before,
although my heart rate was a
little bit higher say 3 to 5
beats per minute higher today
when I finished then it was
yesterday.

23500 06 28 SPT The number of times I tried

releasing my grip on the handle
bars and each time I did so, my
pelvis rotated forward, my shoulders
back, and the load on my legs
became very significantly harder.
I - uh - uh - I don't know
whether 50 percent is the right
term, but it as a lot more
work for me to deliver - to
deliver the necessary torque to
the handle bar - to the pedals,
 - Dump Tape 235-01
Page 3 of 7

f when I released my - uh - hands

from the handle bars. I wasn't doing
all that much work with my
arms. They weren't under a lot
of tension, but it was Just enough
force to pull my shoulders forward
and get my body at the right angle
with respect of the pedals. And so
I re-11_ think - uh - that there's
- uh - nothing basically wrong
with the restraints. Except that
it can't be used exactly the way you had
it designed, Story, particularly
it Just doesn't place your body
at the right angle with respect
to the - to the pedals. Now it's
been mentioned to me that our heart
rates are a little higher and our
respiration was a little faster here.
I suggested yesterday that that
might be due to extra compression on
the chest - uh - when we put our head
on the overhead and push down. Now,
if that should be tr%le, then the
harness system has the same objection
/_ because you are placing your upper
body under co_p_=o_ion with th_
shoulder h_rness as - as y_
pedal. So that's Just sort of a
second order thing right now, I
guess. The first thing is to re,me
the harness, to see if it'll work.
But it didn't occur to me that my
shoulders and chest was under some
fair amount o.f compr_ssion as I was -
uh - pedaling within the harness.
SO - uh - perhaps that's of some
use to you, Story, and - uh - uh - may
shed a little more light on some of
the difficulties the SL-2 crew
had discussed - uh - had when
they tried to use the harness system.

235 00 09 08 PLT Okay, folks, this is - uh - Jack

on channel A debriefing the 23:25
- uh - ATM run which is Just
about to be finished up here.
You probably know - uh - we had a
star tracker update - uh - in
the middle of - uh - JOP 15 A
which change the ... from 10,800
to a minus 10,615. But verified
on the - uh - not much we can do
about that, he told me later where
it was. I did that for the
following JOP 15 A step 2 building
block 33A and - uh - I looked
at the XUV monitor it looks like
we're still well within coronal
hold with that that ... then roll.
The first JOP 15 A went - uh -
as advertised and so's the second•
We got em both done for the
guidance ... and closed the star
tracker door at 23:50_ 23:56. C-_e
down to ... time there and - uh -
I did as your suggested and - uh -
I'm *,,nn_n_ - shop_in_ list it£m
16 right now on - uh - active
region 01. I - uh - fQund that
by - uh - going over to the limb and
- uh - getting a updmm of 0 and - uh -
I maximized detector 3 at the 253_
•.. position and it zurns out the
maximum - uh - intensity occured
at - uh - 9 to i0 seconds off the
limb and - uh - I Just ... scae - uh
- rolling about ... _mre .•. m-Yimize
... It turned out that the roll
is - uh - i0,000 and 65 so - uh -
we're a little bit off the llmb
as suggested in the shopping llst
item running the - uh - filter
•.. and the 82B ..• short - uh -
both for i0 minutes and one thing that
neither of us like very much is
that i inBdvertently was starting
56 and 82 together got the 82A
switch instead of the B switch
and - uh - so I left off one side
 Dump Tape 235-01
_. Page .5 of 7

of 82 A and ... remaining sorry

about that, but - uh - that's the
way it goes, I guess.

235 O0 ii 52 PLT I'ii try to keep my - uh - big

t_wmbs off of the wrong switches.
As time goes on - uh - it seems
like with all the action I 'm
getting on the A_4, that - uh -
I am making fewer mistakes ...
when I learn how to point better and
•.. the detectors to - uh - ...
up the pointing and so forth and - uh -
so the mistakes should be fewer and -
uh - so I'm looking forward to
working with you tomorrow. That
concludes - uh - my ... ATM - uh -
_ork today and - uh - we got one
more pass at 00: 57 •

235 16 18 27 COB This is the CDT and this is information for

EGIL. I performed housekeeping 7D.
All three t_nks are as they have been
throughout the flight. While I was at it,
I took a look to see if I t_ough they
had any sort of possible coolant oil in
them. Uh - SUB 1 looks a little bit oilier
than either SUS 2 or %'he ATM coolant loop.
Kuw_v_r, uh - i don'g think that - uh - uh -
uh - I don't think that's really a problem
for the simple reason that you can't get
in and look at SUS 1 t,nk_ as easily as
you can the other two. And so from the
angle you're lookin_ at it, I think it's
conducive to making it appear - uh - uh-
oily filmed. My opinion would be that it
looks oiller_ but [l_ohably is not or if
it is, it's Just a small _mount, to
be not - uh - uh - critical, or - not
- uh - uh - interesting.

235 16 19 24 CDR CDR out. That goes to EGIL.

235 16 34 09 CDR This is the CDR for the ATM science room.
I went back and completed - uh - JOP 12D

uh - with S054 we got the - uh - first
two- uh - uh - chips which were M, I, O,
5, 6h and M, 3, O, 5, 64, but we - uh - did not
get the M, 6, 0, 8, 64. The - uh - MIRROR

235 19 01 22 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A

debriefing the last ATM run which began at
18:04. Well, they r_m off - uh - J0P 6 and
- uh - JOP 17 Alfa. And - uh - I got a bright
spot - uh - for J0P ]7 Alpha that - uh -
I ghought was a good one. It peaked up,
very well on the detector. And - uh - the
only problem Was that wasn't real close to
the pole, but it was the nearest one to any
pole that I could find. And the coordinates
for that were as follows: roll, minus 8427;
up/down was plus 393; and the left/right
was minus 206. Okay, then I ran off the -
uh - TV down-lind and the next JOP - 17 Alfa
which was - uh - i0 seconds left of the ...
pointing Deleted 82B on that one - uh - doesn't
look like there's much left to 82B. And -
uh - went to step 6 - uh - to wind up - uh -
75 are seconds in this case cause out grating
- uh - zero - uh - position - uh - slit
center position is now 1032. And - uh - I maximized
the detector again, and - uh - I got a good
- uh - signature on the detector. So we got
pretty well - uh - pointed on the bright spot
/'_ again, I believe. And - uh - the uh - brand
 " D_,_p Tape 235-06
Page 3 of 4

at ~ uh - building block 36 Alfa, we - uh -

had a hangup on ACTIVE 1 LONG, and - uh -
in FILTER 5. And so - uh - I turned it off
and - uh - got you in PATROL, SNORT, but
- uh - I didn't have time to get the PATROL NORMAL
because - uh - the ACTIVE 1 LONG hangup - uh-
delayed everthing. And - uh - the 55 MIRROR
AUTO RASTER - uh - went into - uh - effective sun-
set at about - uh - line _0, although I ran
it - I let it run out to - uh - out its line
60 during sundown. So - uh - that pretty
much completes the - uh - pass. The - uh -
ATM is set up for a minus 5h00 roll. As I
was rolling it - _h - it got a little bit
off of Sun center so it's not exactly in
S%m center, but it's - _h - within a few are
seconds of it and - uh - were set with 5h
and M, 3, 0, P, 64 and the rest of - uh - the
unattended powerdown - uh - checklist has been
completed. And we'll let you run it for
a while and see you back - uh - at O0 ... 33.

235 19 Oh 51 PLT Okay_ one more item for the ATM guys. I - uh -
took a look at the - uh - whitelight eoronsgraph
display and - uh - made my daily - uh - sketch
of - uh - what's going on there and - 11h - about
the only thing different I see from - uh -
yesterday, is that - %Lh - out there - uh -
300 degrees - uh - we're getting - uh - at - uh -
brighter area and it looks llke there's a
ray extending out there - uh - . Ther was
yesterday also but it wasn't quite as large and
it - uh - looks it's - uh - spread out so the
brightness is wider. It covers a wider area.
And we have a longer ray now than we did yesterd_-,
- uh - about the same time.

235 19 05 33 PLT And - uh - that's the end of message.

235 19 09 07 SPT Okay, this is the aPT on channel A. We're

beginning to record the information on M092/171
on the DCR our friend, AI, is in the t_uk right
now and he has on the standard leg-bands that were
preseribed on your up-link pad: Charlie India,
Charlie Queen. Okay, let me change that. It's
/_ Charlie India and Alfa-Queen on his right leg

that you specified. And his calf sizes

were 3 inches on the left calf, 13.3/8 inches
on the right calf. The serial on the blood
cuff is still ll and we'll, from this point on,
quit reporting those things because their
gonna be standard until otherwise changed. And
- uh - the saddle is in position number 6.
The last time it was different. It was 5,
We decided that was a little too far out, and
we think saddle poition 6 most closely
approximates the ground - the position of the
body in the tank. 8o we'll leave it at saddle
position 6 - uh - until further - uuless other-
wise notified.

235 19 40 03 SPT Okay

235 19 40 09 SPT SPT on channel A, recording the information

about the 171 run Just about to comenee
on the CDR. The ambient cabin air pressure
is 5.423, 5.423 psi. The present is 66.10.
The percent water is 3.57. The percent CO 2 is
1.91, 1.91.

235 19 49 55 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A, with

information for S063 PIs and Wally Teague
and Jack lew. I've Just checked out
Nikon 02 without any film in it. I took
out BV02 and - uh - put it back. I beleive
it's M34, where it was supposed to be in
the film vault. And I would not try to
use that remaining - uh - ten frames.
I don't think - uh - i$ -uh - worth
trying get at myself.
Now - uh - Nikon 02, when I first slugged
into the timer, I - 1_h - set the - uh
controls on the back as they are supposed
f-_ to be with the - _h the control_ _
the back of the camera, the SCT control,
set it as it is supposed to be,
and the timing on to-? of the camera
set to continue as it's supposed
to be and plugged in the timer, and
put it on 1 second. And - uh - on
first couple of times, I might
have tried it, let's say, 5 times
initially. Oh 2 of those attempts,
it took 2 frames instead of 1.
I don't know whether that's is
the fault of the timer or the camera
but I was using - uh - timer 01 at
that point. However, after that timer O1
functioned quite normally. And
I tried in all the settings that I could
- uh - manage and everything worked
Just _ine. I put these control on the
back, SCT control, slightly out of
.detent, the way I found it when I took
i0 frs_es the other night and it still
only took one frame. So, I'm inclined to
P

Dl_p Tape 235-07

Page 2 of 2

think now that - uh - it was not my - uh -

having set the camera up incorrectly
the other night but was a real malfunction
probably in the timer. But - uh - I
don't know tha_ - uh - true. It simply
behaved very normally today, after those
first couple of frames. In the first
couple of tes- tests, I did, _pparently,
get two frames out of it. But after that,
it's worked - uh - just the way
as advertised. The timer 02 - uh -
had a dead battery in it and I think,
it is because at some point_ probably
m_self, probably I was the one who
had left it - uh - on instead of off.
And it could have been it's setting
in the film vault for quite a while
in the on position, in the 1 or 2-second
- tub - exposure position rather than off.
So, I've replaced that battery, and I
think I only have one replacement,
incidentally, so - uh - both of the
/_ timers now have - uh - their batteries - uh -
only good batteries - _h - in the use.
I would send up a couple of more batteries
on SL 4. Uh- but - after putt_ing in a
new battery in the timer 02, plugging it
in Nikon 02, it all fUnctions quite
normally. So, I'm inclined to think
at this point, the timers are working
correctly and the camera is working
correctly. And we'_-e - uh - probably
in a good position to go ahead a_d - uh -
use more film. And I suggest that double
check setting again before making use of
it to make sure that it's all exactly right.
T on the top, T on the back and the
timer where I want it - uh - in the off,
normally, and then turn it to the upper
second exposure. But it seems to be working
oks_ now and - uh - I think we'd be all
set to go ahead and - uh - use them again.

SPT Okay. Now I'd like to ask Jack a question

here. It looks to me like to get this
149 crAnKed closed, you could not do it -
uh - from these - uh - interim foot
restraints - uh - I had to kick out of
those and get behind the experiment. Is
that the way you did it, Jack?

236 18 4_ 35 PLT Yeah, you might have to take one foot

loose up there, 0., and reach around
there.

SPT Yeah. Looks to me that's better - have

to kick both loose.

CDR And, Bruce, all the - uh - experiments

that we - uh - films that we transferred

SPT Hey, Jack, where is that little lock

that you can pull out.

about to pop off. It's sealed halfway
up right now.

CC Okay, we show the S052 door closed.

236 18 48 36 CC ... show it closing.

CC Roger. We saw a caution and warning

over Vanguard that you reset over
Madrid, but we couldn't tell what
it was. Was that one of the ACS
MALF or CLUSTER ATT lights? Over.

236 18 49 55 CDR It - uh - I don't know which it was,

we a GO for that?

can't remember. But it works right.

CDR When you stick it in the container you must make

sure that it goes completely below the container
seat. I will go in and feel locked as you know,
but it must go down to the base of it. Cause it
is below the level of the seat of the door when it's
going to be closed.

236 19 07 04 PLT It looks like it's firmly in.

CDR Okay, then, close the door and as you rotate the
door to lock, ... the lock - lock - lock - uh -
observe that those - uh - little - uh, bolts don't
Just bend the can, that they actually go into the
holes themselves.

PLT Uh-huh.

CDR Okay, then let me tell you what to do. Close and
lock the 82A container and tell me when it's com-
plete.

PLT Complete.

take you're picture there. Let me get out my
camera. Hold on.

you?

PLT About like this?

go with one hand - let go with your left hang.

let go of one - There you go. They still need
to be further out if you can get them and let them

CDR Okay. For your information we got another master

alarm which I checked to see if . .. turned out to
be a CMG SAT. I checked total momentum is running
around 94 percent and the Y - uh- momentum is a high
one up around 96. So, I guess somehow during the
night pass it didn't know exactly where it was and
didn't dump precisely.

236 19 22 38 FLT Okay. We've act all the film exchanged, new. Just
waiting for the film checks on 82A and B out at the
Sun end.

CC Okay. For the CDE, we see a couple of lead fire

from CMG SAT uh - the momentum running high, we be-
lieve it's from the crew activity associated with
EVA. Over.

trolling ones and the 3 good rack gyros - uh - as

CDR Okay. We're glad to be part of it. I'll tell you.

SPT Say, Bruce I Just gotta make one cogent here be-
cause this is absolutely the most beautiful view
that I've ever seen. Sitting up here on top of the
STMyou can see the horizon through a full 270 degree
arc. There's a Sun reflection out over the Pacific.
And we're Just now crossing the Andes - uh - coming
across form the Pacific on the the South American
coastline. And the Andes are a sharp relief down
below with some cloud cover. It's Just utterly
amazing view.

236 19 24 33 CDR Why don't you tell them about - -

CC There's a whole room of people here that wish they

could be up there with you to see it in person.

236 19 24 38 SPT Well, I thought views out of the wardroom window

or out the STS windows was something but it really
can not compare with the peaceful view that you've
_. got sitting up there on top the AIM sun end _th
a visor full of - uh - virtually 200 - 180 d_grees
of visor available, and you can see the horizon Just
from 270 - all the way around. One other cogent,
I guess back to business here a little bit. 'l"ne
82B door - the outside door was very sticky _rhen I
went to open it. Uh - I had to - after unlocking
it - uh - tug on it several times to get the door to
open back up. _d also on closing it was p_tty
sticky. But it did close satisfactorily. I think
it's a little red rubber ring t_at goes all the way
around the outside edge probably thermally it
tends to stick to the canister itself. It takes
a very hard tug to get it loose.

236 19 25 35 CC Okay. We copy all that, Owen. And I realize

you're not up to it right now, but let me give
you a word right here on the SI 49 handle. L_ck
subject, and then if we're in contact when you get
to it, we can talk it through if there are any
more questions.

CC They ... locking procedure on the Slh9 handle. The

handle itself turns freely. However, there is a
large harrow kr_ob which has a l_ttle wires tether on
it, and the idea is that once you get the experiment
cranked into the position you want to leave it, you
pull the narrow knob loose from the supporting silver -
colored brackets, and then you stick it in the end
of the handle and the length of the w-ire keeps it from
rotating.

the heads-down window or whatever it is?

236 19 30 45 CC Roger, the last.

CDR Okay.
SPT Okay, B2 Just closed.

CDR Okay. That was the UV m_n. Now we got everything

SPT Yeah. EveryLhing_s closed now.

CDR What a pain.

SC Okay, did you - have you cycled the experiment?

236 19 31 00 SPT Yeah, everythings okay.

CC Okay, CDR, this is Houston. We have not yet reenabled
poweron i. P

CC Okay, CDR, Houston. All the doors are closed. We show

your configuration is satisfactory. Over.

236 19 3120 CDR Okay. I think maybe somebody needs to take a look at
these - uy - talkbacks that are suppose to show up on
these - we've had about 3 or 4 time holder uppers while
we tried to figure out why the talkhacks didn't do like
the checklist. For example, 82A and B instead of going
barber pole, are presently in the white configuration.
So it's probable that we - it was working right except
the checklist suggests it's going to go some othere
direction and never gets there.

CC Okay.
SPT Okay .... expect to remove some next.

CDR Okay, Just cool it.

PLT You won't get it done during the dark - dark.

236 19 32 00 CDR He will if the lights are on lake they're supposed

to be.

CDR Okay, Owen, I have a panel I'm going to roll to

3000 arc minutes, so, please be careful.

SPT All right. I am clear.

236 19 32 12 CDR Cannster roll. Plus 3000 arc minutes. I think

I can hack at. Extension is at minus 7; I've
got a long way to go.

SPT You know, up at the center of this thing there is a

little knob that's all wrapped in silver aluminum; a
couple of them. Did you notice these, Jack?

PLT Yeah.

SPT I wonder what they are.

PLT I don't know.

236 19 32 36 CDR They might be vent valves. There's some vent valves
up there.

PLT They don't look like that.

CDR EVA lights on up there, Owen?

SPT I don't see any.
P

CDR I wonder why.

PLT Mine are on here.

SPT Uh - it maybe too bright. I can see where the bulbs

are, and, I can't whether they're lit or Just - uh -
a yellow color.

236 19 33 05 PLT That's the one the ground turned on the last time.

CDR However we - I should have asked them. If I hear from

them again, I will.

PLT We're going to - be makinBermuda pretty soon,

aren't we? Do we make Bermuda on this pass?

CDR I don't know. I haven't been working it. I'll

look and see for you though.

maybe that's the next change to

tell them. And, we might be
able to work in the dark that way.

236 19 53 35 PLT You there?

SC That's it, babe.

CDR Okay. Now let me see what I'm

supposed to do, S056 door open.
Here it comes. Is it coming?

PLT Yes.

CDH C_mnen on talling, banging and _,,

all that other good stuff, and then
I'll open and close it a couple of times.

_--_ Observe any possible stops.
You're going to remove the hot

SPT Okay, now for about the last 12

inches of travel, there was a
slight amount of Jerkiness, but
it was not associated with the rim,

CDR Badnews.

PLT Okay, there was a slight amount of

drag. 15 minutes. Going to take
longer than that on each.

236 19 34 50 CDR Okay. And then ... like to see

what happens in the dark. My
guess is you'll be able to see
even if the lights don't work it's
so light in here.

PLT ... Almost no moon.

CDR No moon but lots of sun.

SC Let me check our trajectory filament.

You guys didn't give us any work
to do when we finish this thing.

PLT Where are we going to break the -

uh - the east coast of South America?

236 19 -_5 26 CDR We should have brokem it Just t_en.

CDR I'm going to.

PLT The sun doesn't bother you.

236 19 36 06 CDR Two things are _ery ... whoever

stays in next t_me. You need to
get a rubber band to put around this
book which I've got that's great,
and the other is this little hook -
tether thing. A_nd that way you don't
loose the book. I tether it to me
and this little hook holds on.
Then I can move around with all this
other stuff and the book kind o$
stays around with me.

SPT Okay. I'd like for you to rotate in

some more in the direction that you
are rotating.

CDR I'll be glad to go it if you'll stand'

PLT Yeah, I did.

SPT That thermal paint is very

adhesive.

PLT It's ver much more brittle now

it's been in the sun so long.

SPT I bet that's true too ... There's

paint flying around loose.

PLT Throw it away.

SPT Oh, is that right?

PLT Yeah. See this blister, too, between

the quads.

8PT How about that.

236 19 41 15 PLT The outer layer's peeling, like a

piece of in inglass on a stove that's
got too hot. It's a - you know what
I mean?

SPT Yeah.

PLT It's a - push back layers, there, and

the outer layers have broken some of
the surfaceon our - paintedup patches
about, oh, 4 inches across, are

200 and - 200 to 240 degrees

around they've flipped up and then is
gastened on to the surface for - uh -
some 50 degrees, then kind of curl
up Just like tha old ininglass used
to don on that old stove.

SPT Well, you ought to mention thatpto

them here in a minute.

236 19 42 03 CC Over the Canaries, Madrid for 14 minutes.

For the CDR, we're going to be enabling
the contingency - forcing a contingency
momentum sample, so would you stay
off the DAS for a minute, please.

CDR Sure will. We're Just about to get the

first ramp off S056 pack - package

thydoor, for about the last 12 to 18
.... inches of travle, the motion was slightly

Dump Tape 236-05

Page 30 of 56

Jerky on opening and this

has been associated with the ramp.
On one of the openings I did
notice a slight binding coming off
the ramp, but it was pretty slight.
And the other - the only unusual
thing noted was a slight jerkiness
inopening and closing over the
last 12 to 18 inches.

CC We copy that, 0wen.

236 19 42 55 SPT And the other thing is there is -

all the paint on these nuts gets
scraped off and floating around.
I've not seen any of it floaint into
an instrument aperature. But it -
it's a little uncomfortable to see this
paint slip away and there no way to
take thybolt down without scraping
the paint off the edges.

PLT How's it going to float in - the

CC Okay. We copy, Understand as you

are putting the tools on ... that the
paint's coming off.

PLT Getting a beautiful view toward the

dark horizon, _here the Sun's going

PLT Had some comments about the

command module, Bruce. Looking at the
skin on the Command module between
the guads. The quads I have in mind
are the one - what's the one right
over the hatch?

SFT A.

236 19 44 09 PLT A and D, those are ones I c_n see.

The skin aapears to - in places looks
like - I was mentioning to A1 -
Remember on those old time stoves
we had ininglass, and when it got
real hot, and old some of the layers
would peel up. Now, the outermost
layer is very thin on the command
module, and it's now thee's a liitle -
sort of almost circular shpaes which
are completely broken loose from the
skin and curling up. They're about
_ h inches in diameter - or 3 to 4 inches
in diameter and they're detaches for
about 200 degrees of the circumference
and then they're held down by the other
i00 or so degrees. And I guess I can
see about - Uh, about a dozen of them
between those two quads. Doesn't look
like a hazadous situation, by any
means, but I Just thought it would be
interesting to ._uote since we don't
get very many service modules b_ck.
NOtice it particularly, toward the
quad A in the lleft firing thruster.
The one that fires toward the - that
particular VHF antenna.

236 19 h5 41 CC Okay, that is _ eon_nand module minus

Y, you say?

PLT Yeah. IN THE DIRECTION OF THE D quad.

CDR D quad would be to the rig_htof the

plus-y side, the PLT side of the
command module. Over.

PLT Okay. Well, this is on the minus-Y

side.

236 19 46 38 CC Okay. so you were describing area

between the Alfa and Delta quads to
us and we'll make corrections appropriately.

PLT Yes. That's correct.

236 19 48 52 SPT (Laugher) l, 2, 3, _, and a nut. Skip.

CDR All right, team -

SPT I have the nuts taped down, but the

nut came out from under the tape.

PLT I know it, they're awful hard to

manage. Clumsy gloves on. They're
going the right direction, though.

SPT Okay, close the S056 door, if you want to.

CDR Okay, be careful now, here it comes.

Okay, now let me see what's next.
The outlook now. Describe anything
that you see there, by the way.

SPT It - uh - closed Just the way it did

the last 12 to 18 inches.

CDR Okay, now I'm gonna go -

CC Uh - understand - uh - previously you

mentioned that was the last 12 to 18
inches, when it was opening. Over.

236 19 50 00 SPT That's true both opening and closing

on the last 12 to 18 inches near
the ramp, near the closed position.
There was a little bit of jerkiness,
but - uh - essentialy the same, obviously
there was no hang up on the ramp, since
the ramp is not there.

CC Okay, we copy. And - uh - I guess in

a nutshee, you could say that moving
the ramp does not appear to have made
any difference in the door operation.

SPT No, except I did notice on one of the

other openings,therewas a slight
 Dump Tape 236-05
Page 35 of 56

binding on the ramp as it started open.

And so there was a possibility of some -
uh - uh - extra friction there - uh -
or I noticed it on one opening that
will now, of course, _not be present.

CC Roger.

236 19 50 41 SPT Incidentally, the engineers probably

remember that there are a number of
little shims underneath these - uh -
uh - ramps. And - uh - the shims
underneath S056 are now in there own
independent trajectory.

CC Okay. We'll watch for them when they

come over this evening.

SPT Okay.

SPT What ramp would you like to have

removed next,Al?

236 19 51 23 SPT Very smoothly. P

CDR Okay, let me know, and I'll close it wehn

it 's full open.

SPT Full open.

CDR Okay .... don't work, I noticed it.

(Sneeze) sorry. HERE IT COMES CLOSED.
Let me know when it's closed. Let me
get this checklist right.

SPT Okay, it is now fully close/and it also

moved back and forth with a slight amount
of Jerkiness. I'm not sure that this is
_ unusual,it might ver well be the way
they were designed to run.

work on it again using the bolt opposite
the - uh - thingamujig in ...

towards me also. If you'll continue
rotating more in the direction that
it was - uh - coming in.

CDR Okay, watch yourself. How's this?

SPT Quite a bit more.

CDR Say when.

SPT Keep coming.

CDR Liable to go into the top here, Owen.

SPT How much room have you got?

He's got one and he's got one to go.
He's got the film replaced, and the
Skylab moves along, swiftly and silently,
