Going to STOWAGE - -

PLT ()kay, T002, we --

CDR .-- ... MODE.

PLT .- - got those -uh - operating sextant

sightings

CDR ... after I zero it, of course.

PLT Well, let me tell you when Al's done talking.

This is - -

CDR I'm finished talking, Jack - -

237 13 26 43 PLT You guys will have to - If you don't like

_-_ the tape the way it is with two people talking,
you'll Just have to schedule different;
that's all. I don't know if you can get all
those marks or not but ... experiment is on
._;chedule. Now TO02 operational sextant
sightings. The first star was Diphda -
correction, my first star was Fomalhaut instead
of Diphda. What was wrong with Diphda was
that it was wsy up and to my left, well
above the horizon - 40 to 50 _egrees. And
I couldn't see on my left. I couldn't see
the star on the horizon because of the
interference of the window. I couldn't see
them both at the same time; so I couldn't
take any marks there. I don't know where it
is now, but I might have been able to do
better later on. But that's anybody's guess.
More probably got to be aware of. Make sure
the stars are out in front of you. Not off
on an angle, some where to your left or
right.

237 13 27 54 PLT So that's why I picked Fommlhaut, because

Fomalhaut has got some checkpoints around
 Dump Tape 237-04
/_ Page 7 of ]i

it that can be recognized and also because

it was out in front of the window, where you
could bring it to the horizon - You get to
see both the horizon and the stac without
heing occulted by the window frame .... is
_mother constellation that stays right out in
front of us too. So you want to schedule
Altair or something like that. That'd be
a good deal. We - uh - we then went to
Dubhe. Dubhe's a good one - uh - not a very
bright star, but it's got Jupiter right near
it and it also has - uh - twin stars not
far from it. Makes - you can get them all -
_Imost all of that in one beautiful view
if you easily recognize it.

237 13 28 44 PLT Now, the other problem is the horizon. Like

you said, right after sunsetyou pick up
a nice horizon, but it's the airglow horizon
! found out later. And Just before sunrise,
which is right now, you've also got a horizon
out there; but it is the airglow horizon.
8o it can trick you. And the horizon between -
the Earth's horizon is very indistinct.
The aidglow horizon is very distinct. The
only way you can find the Earth horizon is
to - to cover up the - uh - star field of
view and - uh - and look at the Earth horizcn
_md - uh - notice that there are some other
stars below the airglow horizon and - uh -
pick the lowes_ stars you can see in the
field of view and say "Well, tPney must just
be coming over the Earth's horizon" and pick
that as your horizon. And the airglow horizon
is very whiteish and - uh - diffuses it
to blackness of Earth. Diffuse is very
gradual, but I_ve - myself, I could Just
barely distinguish the - uh - the - uh -
very diffuse white boundary between the
black of the Earth and the - uh - whiteness
of the atmosphere. When I laid the star
at the - uh - very bottom of that very in-
([istinct white layer - It looks like to me
it ain't very - a very accurate system.
 Dump Tape 237-04 ...........
/_ Page 8 of ii ........

237 13 30 20 PLT It looks like to me also that if somebody

knew the exact height of the - uh - airglow
horizon, that. would be a much better - uh -
horizon to sight in on and - uh - to - uh -
make the calculations from. A very distinct
and - uh - and very easily recognized. The
Earth horizon is not; so you might get
scattering of the data and you may - uh -
get the worst bit of navigation than he
would by using the - uh - airglow horizon.
8o that completes our - uh - T002 for today
_%d - uh - we got all that we need to get
_md standing by for the next time around.

237 13 30 59 PLT End of message. Thank you.

237 13 31 20 PLT Oh, a couple of more words on T002 - uh -

_md I think the idea of going to - uh -
15 marks and only two stars is = uh - is -
I_ - a step forward and - uh - I Just don't
think that it's worth - uh - time to - uh -
get two stars of two different subjects and
___ you waste too much time in the short time
we nave Lo work up here in - uh - i_inding
those stars and - uh - I the waus, I get
l_ marks and then two stars, I had to hustle
_ull the way anyway. So, I think that's -
lhh - that's the best we could do with - uh -
the kind of horizons and the kind of - uh -
night terrains and - uh - the other opera-
tional - uh - disibilities thrown in with it.
I think that'z as good as we Can do now.
I was thinking ... schedule stars straight
out the windo_ without too much of an angle
because we Just don't have that much of - tub
field of view to work in. Looks like Fomalhaut
and - uh - Dubhe were good ones and - uh -
Altair would be another good one. Uh - It's
right out the window now and - uh - there's
probably a couple of others out there that
ought to do the Job. Diphda would probably
be - might be a good one now although there
is still a king-sized angle between it and
the horizon. But it's - uh - too late; the -
any orbit to - uh - to use it anyway. So
 Dump Tape 237-04
I_-_ Page 9 of ii

I think that - uh - you ought to throw

Diphda out for a time being and use an
operational star. •

237 13 32 h9 PLT And that's it for T002.

237 lh 30 26 SPT ()kay, I want to debrief the last ATM pass

which just finished here at about 14:30.
Uh, the ... we_t all as planned. The study
of the left limb, the mini-ras_ers, mini-MAR
for went well. Got - uh - four different
up/down positions and then of course, the
9WJLL GAIN left/right. And incidentally, I
presume Peter Foukal will be watching
the results of that. Peter, if you get a
chance to let Le know how the data looks,
I'd appreciate it, to see if you could
distinguish the difference in the 1 are
second increments and - uh - uh - whether
or not it's gonna give you a good pattern
of - uh - uh - limb variation across the
limb. And then the 12 Delta for NRL went
fine. I had a little observing time on
the end, so I did a quick item 5 off of the

/p
 Dump Tape 237-04 k . .
_--_ Page i0 of ll _ _

the shopping list on active region 96.

Let me correct that - 93. The one that
is becoming more and more comples and -
uh - looks like it has a fairly good
flare potential. As a matter of fact ;
as I was in the midst of doing it, I
did notice that there was a very slight -
well, a moderate increase in both H-alpha
brightness and X-ray intensity. We're
down to beryllium 3, the step before the
3 and - uh - counts were fluctuating up
around 3000 or so. So anyway I don't know
if it's going to come over into active
region 93 or not, but it certainly has
potential. I did - picked an item 5 off
that one, with a little bit of extra mini-
raster thrown in to get a picture - partial
picture of it for 55. Then I quickly
stepped over east limb -

81>2 And that's active - uh - region 3, I

believe - Just a minute, let me check.
" Active region 3. And again did a item 5
on that on - only one exposure for NRL
_md did a PATROL SHORT for - uh - 56
in there because I had a very brief in-
terval of about 40 kilometers, had a
partial ... again although ought to
watch out for uhe data because it was
below 40 kilometers, there. So at least
a brief glimpse at the most interesting
active reglon_ on the end of scheduled
s_tivities for this last pass. Now on
the pre pass I did notice one thing on
the JOP 7 grating position 594, which
I believe puts Lyman eontinous an detector
number 3. The grating count there was
very, very low. l'd not expected it to
be as low as that, but - uh - ... I
presume is looking after the details of
that one. And - uh, if he really - you
m_ght mention - uh - what sort of - uh -
detector counts numbers is expected at
that position. As I recall it was only
counting two or three counts per time
interval.

am in a little w_tile. We'll be hack.

237 12 49 37 PLT Okay, space fans. Here we are again - with -

uh - T002 and this is ... This is the star
to horizon. Two stars acquired. Sextant
operational and - uh - not quite dark yet
hut I got a planet up there and we will rip
off a few zero biases. Temperature of the -
uh - requests only - uh - two sets, one -
uh - set of fifteen on each star which is
winking a change for the better because - uh -
you come up with - uh - some - uh - unanticipated
problems in this area. Number one is that -
uh - the night is shorter .... the horizon -
uh -becomes indistinct again ... before our
sunrise period. So we have only have - uh -
 Dump Tape 237-05
Page 3 of i0

m_be - uh - 15 - 20 minutes of operational

time in there for - uh - star to horizon
sighting. And it's very easy to become - uh -
confused with the airglow horizon if you start
t_3 soon. The other difficulty, of course, is -
uh - that the - sextant field of view is -
uh - that - uh - you don't see a lot of
checkpoint stars around the star you're
shooting for. I believe I see a satellite. I
see a satellite, AI. Come here. Yeah, moving
with ... sextant ... planet ... Look ...
there. Isn't that- isn't that moving? That's
Jupiter up there .... Didn't you see it?

Oksy, it ... lighting it a little while ago.

It' s going that way.

237 12 52 0_ CDR ... looks like ...

PLT See it now. No, it's getting closer to Jupiter.

Okay - uh - the _extant field of view, as we
::--" were saying - There, it's bright again, AI.
The sextant field of view is - uh - not too
wide ...... _ar_ duu_ h_v_ ,.._._ch_ukpoi_ts
around - uh - it's difficult to - uh - identify
em. You can pezhaps find em, but you got to
make sure you c,n identify them before you
start marking them. Uh - also, we noticed th_.t
the - uh - sextant gathers more light than the
naked eye. And - uh - it sees more stars than
the naked eye does.

CDR ... go by ... and they're ...

237 12 54 02 PLT Okay, the light-gathering cartridge, as we

were saying, are such that the naked eye and
the sextant don't remain in the same field of
view - or the sa_e presentation and so it's
difficult to - uh - find a star with the
checkpoints and then - uh - try to find a star
with similar checkpoints as the sextant. Oh,
a n,,m_er of - -

CDR Say, Owen, is that - uh - timer working okay

up there on the MDA panel?

237 12 54 29 PLT Okay, here we are again, space fans. Uh -

SPT ... working oks_,now.

PLT - - ... get a well - defined horizon. Press

on and - uh - see if we can't get some
star-to-horizon sightings. And on this latest
checklist says we get the 15 minimum of two
stars. One set on each, which I think is a
change for the better because we don't have
near as much darkness up here as we thought
we might to begin with. We have, at most,
30 minutes of darkness on the ATM clock and -
uh - they're not all usable because we don't
have a well-defined Earth horizon until well
into the darkness. And then it disappears well
before sunrise. And the difficulty, of course,
is defining the - uh - sextant star in the
sextant field of view because it's rather
=_-ii and - uh - unless your star's got good -
checkpoints around it, why it's going to be
very difficult to - uh - define.
Also, the light - gathering
characteristics of the - uh -
sextant are such that it gathers
more light than your nsxed eye
coes, and if you ,me your naked
eye to find your star with checkpoints
until you find t_e star that the
sextant did and if - your naked eye
and the sextant .. are different
wit:hrespect to the number of stars
you can see, that makes for difficulty
in locating your stars. And the"
problem is - time wise - is not in
the - getting the marks. Once you
find your star, that's easy. The
- _fh- time delay is, identifying
that star. That's - uh - something
you want to mn_e _re you do - uh -
without guessing cause - uh - if you
don't identify that star, why - uh -
you're shooting the wrong star all
the time. The temperature of the
sextant is - uh - 69 degrees. The
diopter is minus i - correction -
0.5, minus 0.5; and we'll take some
zero bias settings here. We're

237 14 30 26 SPT Okay, want to debrief the last ATM pass

which just finished here about 14:30. Uh -
the building chips went all as planned.
The - - study of the left limb, the
minirasters, minimarks for 55 went very
well. Got 4 different up down positions
a_id of course the pol scan, left/right.
And incidently, presume Peter Foukal
will be watching the results of that ;
Peter, if you get a chance to let me
know how the data look, I would ap-
preciate it. And if you could, - uh -
that could make a difference on my 1
or second increments. And -uh- whether
or not it is going to give you a good
pattern of limb variation across the
limb. And then the - uh - 12 Delta for
N_IL worked fine.

237 14 31 21 SPT Had a little avserving time on the end,

_ so I did a quick- uh - item5 fromthe
shopping list on active region 96. Let
me correct that, 9J. The one that is
becoming more and more complex and - uh -
looks like it has a better confirm
potential. As _ matter of fact, as I was
in the midst of doing it - uh - I did
notice that there was a very slight,
well, a moderate increase in both
H-alpha brightness and X-ray intensity.
We're down to - uh - beryllium _,
the step before the 3 and - uh -
counts were fluxuating up around 3000
or so .... is going to come over
into active region 93 or not, but it
certainly has potential. I did item
5 off that one. With a little bit of
axfcra - uh - minirasters thrown in to
get a picture - uh - a partial picture
of it for - uh - 55.

237 14 32 12 SPT And then I quickly zipped over to the

- uh - slit. And that's active region
3, I believe, let me check. That's
active region 3. I again did a - uh -
item 5 on that one. 0nly one ex-
 Dump Tape 237-06
Page 2 of 2

posure per NRL. I did need a PATROL

SHORT for - uh - 56 and - uh - cause
I had a very brief interval of time,
s_id - uh - did the grating auto scan,
which took me down to about 40 kilo-
meters and a partial MAR again al-
though you ought to watch out for the
data because it was below h0 kilometers
there. So, to make it brief - uh -
glimpse of the two most interesting
active regions on the end of the
sc.heduled activities of this last pass.
New on the preceding pass, I did
netice one thing on the JOB 7 grating
position 594, which I believe puts
latitude 50 on detector number 3, the
- uh - the grating count was very, very,
low, I - uh - had not expected it to be
as low as that but - uh - ... I presume
is looking after - uh - - uh - the
details of that one and - uh - if you
"_" really - you might mention what sort of uh,
uh detector - _lh - e_uut nu_h_ _u
be expected at - uh - that position.
Uh - as I recall, it was only counting
two or three eo_mts per time interval.

237 16 04 09 SPT Okay, this is the SPT debriefing

the last run - uh - on the ATM,
which Just now finished around
16:00. The - uh - schedule went
off Just as planned, although I
did take a little bit longer with
the 4 - limb co-alignment than
scheduled because I ended up changing !
the co-alignmentsslightly from - 1
uh - line l0 back up to line 9-
Slight improvement on line 9. And
that meant I had to go back through
limb positions upper and lower twice, I
and that took me a little bit longer.
Here are the numbers that came out on
day 237 at - uh - 15:10. Plus 1006,
plus 1006, plus 1007. Lower limb is
minus 894, minus 897; left limb is
minus 92h, minus 922, minus 922. The
right limb XUV was plus 973, 55 was
plus 976. The co-align position now
0932. And - uh - I thinkthat is all
the numbers entered up to there.

237 16 05 22 SPT Oh, there's one other thing that I

think I said wrong the last time I
commented about - uh - the 4 - limb
co-alignment. I said the white light
image was a little too large, I should
have turned that around, it's the white
light image is actually a little smaller
than the H-alpha image. Because I
am putting the white light disk on the
inner edge of the crosshairs' on the
white light are very wide, and I 'm
putting the - uh - edge of the Sun's
disk on the inner edge, a couple of
arc seconds probably from the center
of that very broad horizontal align-
ment line. So it looks like the white
light Sun is a few arc seconds in rad-
ius - uh - smaller than the H-alpha
inner limb radius. And that's the -
uh - end of my comments on the last run.

237 16 06 24 SPT Those comments, of course, goes to the

F_ ATM PI'sand planners.

237 17 37 35 PLT Good morning, space fans, this is -

Jack on - uh - channel A, debriefing
the last ATM run, which - uh - began
at 16:42. I ran off a - uh - series
of - uh - steps and - uh - JOP 2 Bravo.
Step i, building block 4, A through E,
on active region 93. I pointed the -
uh - H-alpha i at a - uh - H-alpha
bright area, the brightest point in the
plage and I - uh - maximized - uh -
detector l, carbon 3, grating position 766,
to where I got a very high reading. ._.
Although - uh - it was slightly off of
the brightest H-alpha point. Which
means one of two things, if it were not _.
perfectly aligned, or the H-_lpha bright
point was not the carbon 3 bright point.
At any rate, I carried out the rest of
the steps as planned and - uh - we got
u- all the data you requestedon JOP 2 Bravo

237 19 12 20 SPT Okay, on the 131 run Just completed

on the SPT. After it, for the - uh -
N 2 pressure was - uh - 1150, 1150. Now,
as far any - uh - questions - uh -
sense of rotating or otherwise moving.
Uh - yeah, during the hi - highest rpm
I did - uh - have a sense of rotating.
And also - uh - I didn't have the sense
of - uh - I felt like I was not verticle,
my head up. I sort of felt I was - uh -
perhaps perpendicular to the room's
orientation, ine line _arget ever move
in a direction other than expected?
Yes. Sometimes it moved up and down
a little bit. And - uh - see a very
definite motion hold pattern up and
do_. Exactly as I would have normally
ex_,ected for the OCI left/right motion.

SPT AdSitional comments. I have th_

felling that I'm not - uh - as sensitive
to - uh - orientation as I was on the
ground. And - _)_ - when I'm one orientation
if I think hard, I can beat any other
orientation in this sense of orientation ...
And. it - uh - I'm - uh - not really,
for the first three levels, I really think
I was doing more guessing than I was
ever seeing the OGI. It got to the point
where even the barest suggestion of a
direstion of rotation was ii that I had
to go on and so I gave that clue. And
I - uh - I don't really feel that I was
as observing any clear OCI until the
fourth and fifth level. So end of comment

to the coronal hole part, right at

hole in that al.ea. I'_ gonna take a

get back up and see if I can find one.
I'm waiting for some information from

it satisfactory.

237 19 20 16 SPT Okay, this si the SPT on channel A

with information about the med portion,
motion censitivity session of the 131
run just completed. Uh - ... symtoms and
no time for the c_mparisons cause there
weren't any. A couple of comments, at
30 rpm you are moving pretty fast
•.-ith the centrifical foi-ce reaii_ p_lliag
you into the lap belt. I had to cross
my legs underneath the - uh - uh - foot
restraint, in or£_er to keep them - uh -
froIa flying out through or - popping off
and causing _ reset of the - uh -
chair rotation. So, that was the easiest
way to run, with Just my legs crossed
underneath that pole. And the second
thing was I noticed that the - uh - micro
switch on the back of the head - uh -
rest seemed to quit operating about
half-way through. So - uh - even though
I was rocking the - uh - sensor back,
I could not hear the click of the micro
switch, and I'Ii go check it and see if
I c_m't get that working right in just
a moment. Outside that, - uh - nothing
special. Uh - 30 rpm is no problem.
•.. ate the gyro someplace - uh - I
mentioned it on the last one, I guess, in
fact quite a bit, that's very slight
gyro ... was even noticed. And - uh - uh -
substantially less than was noted at
30 r_pm with scope decks, on the ground,
Dump Tape 237-08
Page 3 of 5

It was almost - uh - no indication of

- uh - having your vestibular sensors
perturbed by that head nodding. Just
a very slight little bit of what I've
called gyro ... cause I don't know a
better work to describe it. End of
the comments from the SPT. Those
comments go the the M131 PI and
biomed.

237 19 36 15 SPT One additional comment to the M131, Pi.

Ths% micro switch looks to be all right.
So - uh - maybe it quit operating for
a while but at least I can hear it
now. So, - uh - apparently something
else needs to be done to it. End of
extra comment.

237 19 h2 39 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack on

ch_mnel A. And the subject is _31.
I Just - uh - completed my motion and
sensivity run, and - uh - experienced no
symptoms under the 30 rpm/150 rmp
movement. I noticed that - uh - early in
the run, when I - uh - came back up from
my - uh - head-head down position, - uh -
a_er the fixed head movement that I
tended to - uh - learn a little bit to
the left a feet, by learning my shoulders
one inch to the left of - of upright.
And - uh - when I did that, I noticed
that - uh - I felt like I was sfinning
with a slightly tilt with my feet
slightly un. Later, - I would - uh -
correct that position to straight upright,
and - uh - felt as though I were spinning
in the straight upright. Uh - other than
that, why - uh - there are no other
e_nments or observations, - uh - except
to say that I - uh - did not do the
OCT part of this run - uh - due to the
fact that I'm - uh - developing a - uh -
sty in my - uh - left eye in the upper
eye lid, for which I am - uh - putting
same topical - uh - dressing on and - uh -
we felt that it might be contagious,
Dump Tape 237-08
Page 4 of 5

and therefore, - uh - it would be better

not to use the - uh - OGI goggles. Uh -
I did not use the - uh - the - uh -
blindfolds on the - uh - motion sensivity.
I merely closed my eyes. And - uh - I
could notice - uh - due to the light
differential the - uh - the rotation
clockwise. So, I will pick up the OGI
part of this run - uh - in the near
future, when this - uh - uh - sty is
completely gone.

237 20 03 13 SPT I also wanted you to know that I was

late turing the experiment tape recorder
on. Since we - uh - did not do the OGI
portion, I missed picking that up when I
went back to set up the switches. So,
I think we've gone - uh - oh, about 30 head
movements or so when I got that put
back on. But then we completed the
normal 150 and you saw the cut-off
and there were no symptons, so I should
not think that would - uh - alter any
of the data. And - uh - as Jack said,
the run went perfectly normal, with no
symptons.

237 20 Oh 04 SFT All that preceeding on 131 goes to the

M131 PIs and - uh - biomed.

237 20 09 12 CDR This is the CDR discussing - uh - JOP 15

step 3. I Just lid it. Uh - I _olled
the 82B SLIT parallel to the hole boundary,
but I did not point the 55 OFFSET so that
the mirror auto raster was centered on
the boundary. The mirror auto is still
the difference between 9 and 25 off. Now,
the company area but it say - I Just do
wh_; it said there, I did't see that
until after I had done it up .... it seems
to put the 82B SLIT in the right place but
I failed to then move it up 85 or so
are seconds.

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. Step 5

salts, "Go to an area not previously

used." What I'm gonna do is go to an
area that would be exactly adjacent to
where the mirror was in step _, correction
step 3. Which means that you'll have
part of a contin1;-1 mirror auto raster
for a total of I0 arc - uh - minutes.
And I think this will do the Job for you.
And that way will have everything.

23T 2o 15 35 CD_ COR,_ut.

237 20 21 21 CDR This is CDR for the ATM science room.

I think we got you some good coronal
hole information. I tell you what I
did. First thing I did was find the
coronal hole hit at one boundary and
that was the interior boundary of it
because it's step 3"there. Then we
went to step 4 and - uh - pointed a
little bit inside that, - uh - I don't
remember how many arc seconds. I
think we moved in - uh - I don't know,
hut we moved inside it - uh - some "
nt_ber of arc seconds, took that data
then we went to step 5 and I - as you
recall, on step 3, I didn't have the
- uh - mirror auto rasters line 25, so
I - uh - huh - uh -, that's not true,
that's right after line mirror auto 25.
So, I moved up Just the right ahount so
that, and over so that at least you
would have a mirror auto raster right -
on the top of the one you had in the
hole, and it would be continuous with
the first. Okay, then, I went back to
the original position I took in 3 and
went to the right 150 arc seconds which
put me down the center of the hole but
: made the raster then go all the way if
the other side and off the limb of the
sun. It looks to me like you've got a
h1_e area here - uh - roughly ten by ten -
_ust a minute. That will - uh - you'll
have mirror rasters and will have information
on your coronal hole in there, so I'm
hoping ...

237 19 08 05 SPT Okay, on the 131 run Just completed on the SPT -
a_cer - it - uh - the N 2 pressure was 1150,
1350. Now answer any questions - sense of
rotating, otherwise moving - Uh - yeah,
during the la - high - highest - uh - RPM,
I could - uh - have a sense of rotating.
And - also - uh - I didn't have the sense -
oi" - I felt like I was not vertial -
head up. Sort of felt like I was - uh -
strapped perpendicular to the room's
orientation. The line target ever move
in a direction other then expected?
Yes. Sometimes, it moved up and down a
little bit.

SPT And - uh - see a very definite motion-O

pattern up and down, exactly as I was - uh -
normally expected, for the OGI, left/right
motion. Additional comments. I have the
feeling that I'm not - uh - as sensitive
to - uh - orientation, as I was on the
ground. And - uh -when l'm in one orien-
tation, if I think hard, I can be in any
__ other orientation:with this sense n_
orientation changing.

SPT And if - uh - I'm not really - for the

first 3 levels, I really think I was doing
more guessing, _hau I was ever seeing the
0GI. That's th_ point where even the mere
suggestion of a direction of rotation was
all that I had co go on, and soFI gave that
clue. And - uh - I don't really feel that
I was observing any clear 0GI's, until the
fourth or fifth level.

237 21 _i 51 SPT To the following message is for - uh - Mrs.

Diana Stanford [?] and Miss Jean Reed [?], over
in Food and Nutrition. And - uh - about
3 comments. The first one - uh - is
following: Uh - I still have a prime rib,
that was not eaten - uh - very - in the
first week of the mission. Uh - it's
a - uh - frozen item. I've had it in - uh -
freezer, or the cooler ever since the
first week. And I'm going to eat it
tonight, and leave the prima rib that,
I should have tonight, in the freezer.
Now what I would like to do, is to not
waste this one good frozen item, this
prime rib, but instead, substitute it on
one of my evenings, for either the turkey
gravy, which is on my menu _, or the
spaghetti, which is on my menu 6. And
today, survey my menus _ and 6, and see
if this would - uh - he any - uh - major
• problem, to simply substitute the - uh -
prima rib, which I will still have extra
- uh - in the week coming up, for either
spaghetti on menu 6, or turkey and gravy
on menu 4.

SPT And the next - the next - comment

relates to menu 1. On my meal B
on menu l, I have tuna and bread listed.
Now I can still put up with that,
for at least a little while longer,
hut - uh - I would like to haqe them
consider - uh - Diana or Jean - uh -
uh - particular - consider whatever
substitutions I might make, to get
that tuna off of - uh - menu i. Uh -
that's an awful lot of tuna in that
can, and the flavor Just doesn't take
a - taste take a thing like - uh -
tunafish salad on the ground. And -
uh - you know Jack's already - uh -
cut his out. And I've been struggling
with it, and can put up with it, a
little while longer, but would like to
substitute something else, if you would
look around at - uh - possible
Dump Tape 237-10
Page 2 of 6

alternatives, and see whats in

overage and can be obtained easily,
or something like that. And let me
know if you have any suggestions for
the substitution of tuna in - uh -
menu i. Now I don't have the same
objection to bread that Jack did. It's
not really very good, I must admit,
but at least I don't have any trouble
eating it. And - uh - I'm not
complaining about that part, but I
would like to substitute the tuna if
you can find something - uh - that
would work.

237 21 44 49 SPT And the third item - uh - is - uh -

related to the general content of our
menu cue cards. I suspect by now, you
have heard that there is some
discrepancy between what is on our menu
cue cards, and what, in reality, our
menus were suppo_:ed to be. This relates
to, at least, the optional salt and,
S=IAi_, _li_ u_Ler items that are
included. And this is perhaps a
question for - others - uh - Diana
and Jean than yourselves. And if
so, you can relate it to them, like
Malcom(?), or Mike Riddle(?), or
some of the others involved in the
planning for our - uh - menus.
But I would like to know what is°being
planned to make our menus correct.
Our cue cards ar,-•, at the present
time, inaccurate. I'd llke to know
why this was not brought to our
attention befores and what is planned
to be done about it. - uh - this is
the end of the message to Mrs. Diana
Stanford, Miss Jean Reed and - uh -
they will - uh - circulate it to
others as appropriate.

23T 21 _6 57 SPT This is the SFT on channel A,

with a message to Ed Gibson, OVer in the
astronaut office. Hello there, Ed,
got a couple of things to - uh -
mention to you and - uh - some
of this relates to - uh - Bill and
Jerry, also. So - uh - first i%
relates to - Qh - clothing. About
the last three weeks before launch,
why - _h - they came around to say
what more clothes you want - uh -
think this group needed more, we're
about ready to fix you up and all
that good stuff. And it wan too late
for us to figure out, properly, what
we really needed. Now it turns out
what Jack end I really need is socks.
We have more clothes up here than we
can wear in four months, much less in
2 months. Uh - I'm only about h_f way
through my first clothing pack, even
though it's supposed to be completed
--. at the end of 30 days - or 28, except
....... _-- _'_" soc_-_ v _111d have liked
to have chenged every day, and
unfortunately, I get one pair of socks
about every 3 d_ys, because a couple of
them are on long handles and other stuff
that you don't get worn. And so my
suggestlon to all three of you is, -
is to see if you can't get more socks,
and forget about the rest of th_ stuff.
Because socks you really need and at
least as far as Jack and I are concerned,
we got more then anything else - more
than we need of everything else.

237 21 48 17 SPT Okay that item applys to all

three of you. And the next one - uh -
is perhaps more related to you, Ed,
but it will affect all three of you, too,
and that is the - uh - film - ATM
film in particular. Now the A_ -
uh - change out - uh - as you know,
- uh - occurred on day 28, and we
only got into operation on day ii.

F ..
 D_mrp Tape 237-10
Page 4 of 6

"_,

And for about the last 3 days,

we were I.mnlng with a lots of
experiments omitted, because they
were running low on film. So this
really means, we essentially exposed
one complete exchange of film in
about - uh - 12 dsys of fairly
concentrated work. Fairly concentrated
I say, because we were catching up
to about 12 ATM - uh - correction,
up to lO ATM passes per day - on -
uh - a good part of those days. I
don't know how many - uh - ATM passes
y' all intend to get, but the point
I'm trying to make is it doesn't take
long for - uh - with hard work,
to expose a completing exchange of film.
. NOW - uh - the £054 - uh - c,_n_ster
still is in very good shape, on load
2, which I Just brought back in - uh -
yesterday. And of course, there's not
reason in the world to not reload that
thing, Ed. And - uh - I expect that
_ ytall are taking care of this or it
has been taken care of very thoroughly.
But I'd Just like to reemphasize the
fact that on SOS_ in particular, you
ought to have at least - uh - one
extra exchange of film, to put in
that machine.

237 21 49 _7 _FI' And then as far . uh - 56 and HFAlpha

and 52 are concerned, you've known all
along that those ere - uh - light - uh -
cameras and - uh - I think this would
be a good time to start bringing up to -
uh - Kenny the fact that - uh - it
only takes 12 or 13 days of hard work
to expose one load of film. Now with
Kahoutek[?] in edition, why, of course
you're _ust not gonna have enough film
to give the solar observations a fair
shake. And X - ch - l'm ... need a
discussion of NRL because of the size
and I understand we've already got that
 1_p Tape 237-10 ...........
•_ Page 5 of 6 ......

extra one load anyway. But on the

other cameras, donnone it, you really
ought to get some extra film, Ed.
And I don't thi_k it's any too soon to
start - uh - worrying" about that - uh -
and - uh - getting it push through the
program office if you can. Now - uh -
oh, the other item I was going to
mention, Ed, is about that telescope.
- I don't know what happen at the CCB
- uh - the other day but - uh - ass,,_ug
that things went - uh - fairly well, I
don't have very much to add over what I
said before except Just remembering
to giving that a try. I can't said that
it would be essential to JOP 13 or to the
text but I think that it would be
a d/sirable thing. Uh - I can't
really say that that H-Alpha is
essential and I would be interested
to know - uh - what the - uh -
the end results _f - uh - that work
was or what the end result of th_ Cc_
action was on there. That 19 inches
that I mentioned, I still think i's a
pretty good idea. because if it sticks
out any further, it's Just going to
keep obstructing the flow of traffic,
hack and forth through the MDA. And
you could see that yourself by taking
a look at the - _h - mock-up or _n the
wardroom trainer.

237 21 51 _0 SPT So, I guess that's all of my comments

for you, today, Ed. As a matter of
fact, I've - the reason I'm getting
this on tape at the moment is because I
ended up about 30 or 45 minutes ahead
of schedule. And, as near as I can
recall, this is the first time that it's
happened on this flight and this is day 29.
First time I've had and extra h5 minutes
to - to - uh - get some of this done.
So, a - uh - couple of questions there
with a response requested and - uh -
good luck to you fellow. And - uh -
let's - uh - see what - what you manage
to get on board.

things that we can get out of the way at - uh -
this pass. First of all, we intend to be - to
send up to you a new procedure for ED78 that
you may can use later. But the - one note on
that is the SI_2, the student experiment check-
list, has some useful pictures fin it and so the
task is to find that checklist. We think it's
in a plenum baE that you stowed Just to the
left of the freezers up in the foward compartment
of - between the freezers and that duct. And
there may be some pictures in there you might
want to have a hack at trying to find. Also,
have a change to the CDR and thw SPT - details
for tomorrow and some battery number charge.

SPT Okay, lets get them out.

238 Ol 38 03 CC - and, Skylab, another thing

this evening that we wanted %o
get up to you. You asked this
morning about television and how
things and how things are going.
And Fred Koons worked up a pretty
good s,,,,--ryof what we think to
date and l'd like to pass that
up to you some time this evening.

CDR How about right now?

238 01 38 25 CC Oks_, I'm going %o be _If reading from

this page and half paraphrasing so
I'ii Just go ahead and go. We've
promised you a report on TV in
particular, the ones you've done from
the TV Ops Book. And what we've done "
is we've taken a look at the las at
_ the first 28 days of the mission
and the following is a _-ry of that. "J
First of sll, Just _v_"_ _.'_ _ _"
has been great. Both from the TV Ops
Book and others, you've done a total
of 31 telecasts, 13 of which ... Almost
everyone of these has been broadcast
and of course you know that after we
get them down here we do edit them same
Just to get them short enough for
the networks to use them. Th_ reason
that there are not %oo many from the
TV Ops Book is that we didn't start
until day ii, and prior to that we
had trouble finding time for the TV
and of course we had the VTR failure
we had to contend with. The one that
you did on day 11 was a real beauty.
It was one of the complicated two-c-_era
Jobs with the MITI and you did it
almost perfectly. You had trouble
with one scene, because the light
was out but we fixed that up in the
ground processing. The next day you
 Dump Tape 238-02
Page 4 of 5

did MI31. It didn't go as well

but that was our fault because the
checklist we thought was too
complicated_ You did a real good Job
in picking up the missed scenes in
that one. The - uh - three telecasts
that Jack did on meal prep and eating
were real good. The M509 and TV went
very well and they were also -
was impressive and the guys down here
think that 0wen is a first class
z ero-g camerman. We have one
piece of constructive criticism.
When Owen did the TV 28 from the
ATM C&D, - uh - this was the time
be ran out of tape, we thought
he didn't pause quite enough in his
narration, so we Just suggest
a reminder to Just go a little slower
on the talking. When Jack did the
camera comparison test, it showed
that there was not much difference
f-_ between the two cameras. The one
that y_u h-_ve !eft _--J _°_ ° I_++_
more light and particularly in the
forward compartment in the MDA, and
we'd recommend an f stop of f.h. And
-uh -that's Just a note there, that
will probably make the - uh - focus
more critical. We are starting to 6et
some some live TV opportunities in
the evenings, and that may be cood
time to look at Anita's web. The
last time that Owen televised the web,
he use_ the close-up lens, and we 'd
Just like you to know that that's
worked real well .... choices he had.
It might even help to turn down one
of the ... lights to get a little more
contrast on the web. Over.

Fred thanks for working the problem

238 16 35 03 SPT Okay, the follovlng information

is for MII0 PIs - uh - Steve Kimsey and -
uh - Doctor Paul Buchanan, and it's from
the SPT, related to blood samples
f--_ as specific gravity measurements. This
' is d_v 30 and - uh - our _specifie
gravity measurements on - uh - our first
urine sample for the d_y are as follows :
Jack had 1.033C; A1 measured 1.03h; and
I measured 1.0Y27. Now water
in the same refra_tc_eter does not
measure unity b_t measures 1.012.
Checked it a couple of times. I
drew the water fTcen the table _re.
So, we did sen_ down s_te specific
gravity measurements earlier as well
and - uh - they should also probably
have that s_- correcti_ for the
refractc_eter; 1.012 for table water.

238 16 3_ 32 SPT NOW here comes (cough) some more

blood information. Now these are
the hemoglobin measurement taken by
c_pillery samples finger prick, from
each of the three of us. I did not
use any of the blood from the syringe
taken during the 110 draw. These are
measurements on Jack's blood with my

17.6,17.2,17.5,and 17.4. That
ccapletes the hemoglobin measur_ents.
NOw I want to talk about stowing of some
of this stuff for a little bit.
We have transfered urine freezer
D,,m_er 3 and 4, or urine tray
_-m_er 3 and _, over to freezer
e_artment 756. And we've put
_-_,. tr_s 5 and 6 in the waste m-_ag_m_nt

trays 3 and 4 still have 3-1/2 slots

that are only - correction - still
have three slots that are only half
filled. In other words, we put -
uh - half urine - uh - samples in the
slot end that still leaves the
other half empty. Uh - it's possible
that we should - uh - fill those up
right now before he changes trays.
However, - uh - we did have c_e
message which indicated we didn't do
any shuffling around in the improper day
for slots until something like day _0
and - uh - what my first intention is,
to go ahead and --tart fi111_,g up trays
5 end 6 and I'll ass,-_ that you have
e_ough h_lf days in ther to - uh - take
care of - uh - uh - not overfilling
trays 5 and 6. But for your information,
_ Dump Tape 238-05

there are three half e_pty slots

back here on tray 3 and 4. And
also, counting up the number of
blood samples available, the blood
drawn number 5 and it went into
tray 5, and that allows us room in those
little green packages for three more
blood samples. Only three more
blood samples. Now is - uh - I assume that
I've got that correct. That'd be a

an error, please let me know. NOw +.his

that is Just a note that the - uh -

238 18 29 51 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack a_ain

on channel A debriefing the last ATM
run which began at 17:38. I ran off
of JOP 4 Bravo, building block 36.
On - uh - filament 42, which is - uh -
busted up in - uh - three or four
pieces now and - uh - I picked a
piece and went to work on that. Also
- uh - did building block ll as
advertised. You changed my - uh -
my - uh - building time there
- uh - shopping list item from 13
to something else. N_nber 1
priority was to look for Ellerman
bombs around active region 8. I
didn't see any. I looked for
some around a Sun spot in active
region - -

238 18 30 38 PLT - - In active region 3 and I wasn't

able to find any there again, so
- uh - I - uh - did my second
priority,whichwas the shopping
.............. re_ion 8. I
merging partially with whatever
you call it that we discovered
earlier. - Uh - I did that - uh -
shopping list it-_m number 2
- uh - omitting the 82A. They
asked me to do another one - uh -
on the same region and - uh -
I did, again omitting 82A. So •
we've got 2 - uh - shopping list
items 2 on that area. And - uh -
55 was mirror line scan, in both
cases, at grating all balls.

238 18 31 18 PLT It - uh - yeah, that area appears

to be getting a little more intense
and it seems to me and - uh -
seems to the naked eye a little
brighter - uh - on the H-alpha 1
- uh - as time goes on. The - uh -
prominences you called out at
290.B - uh - appear to be three
of th_ there and - uh - the
on which is - uh - furtherest - uh -
 Dt_p Tape 238-06
- M_ Page 2 of 4

south appears to have the most

altitude and show up the best on
- uh - the H-alpha 1. There ate
two which are - uh - north of that
which - uh - - uh - seem to be
short and at various states and
they may or not be connected over
the top for it is impossible for
me to well - uh - with the monitor
as we see it right now. - Uh -
but will continue to abserve these
prominances and - uh - see if they
are doing anything different - uh -
as the day goes on. I thought I had
another item to - uh - discuss,
abut I can't think of it right now and
- uh - so this concludes the debrief
on - uh - rev munber - uh - 17:38.

238 18 32 30 PLT Th_k you.

238 18 33 22 PLT Uh - yes, the item that I - uh -

meantto discusson - _h - the last
__. ATM nass that I forgot was - uh -
the signature of active region 8. The
one - uh - on the XUV monitor there
appears to be - uh - a very
strong, relatitively small - uh -
- uh - signature on that - that
area although i_ is very well
signed and uh - and - uh -
with out a doubt - uh - the uh •
next signature we get is -uh -
•.. to that area.

SPT The The - uh - far - uh - area of

that - uh - region is developing
a sort of a V shape or a V
characteristic with the - uh -
most intense - uh - you mentioned
- uh - on H-alpha at the base
of the V - uh - this is a
secondary which goes up in the
middle of the U and - uh - - uh -
separates - uh - the two legs of
the horseshoe and - uh - this

may turn out that - uh - we'll

see a very high ... in that area
and - uh - if so perhaps we'll
have a very good active region
emerging, that's something
that's to be confirmed. I think
it's going to continue activities,
I surely hope so.

238 18 _9 54 SPT Gkay, for the M092 people. Uh -

there was a message this morning
that said they did not have the
pilot's - uh - calf eirc_nferenees
on dya 237 run - uh - I've still
got that noted on the can here and
the left leg was lh and 3/8 and
the right calf was 14 and 3/h
and I did put that on channel A, so
I don't know where it got lost.
But those are the correct numbers
for the last measurements. 14 and
3/8, 14 and 3/4, for the pilot.

238 19 2_ i0 CDR Okay, this is information for the

ATM Science Room. I am in the
midst of - uh - my - uh - pad ...
and what I've done is throw in an
extra mirror auto raster on this
- uh - active region 8, right o_
the gottest spot which is up
•_ around detector - detector 3 on
the spot. Stop with - uh - got
one indication on it now. Testing
there. Uh also, I gave it - uh -
a P_O, 40 and a I0 second

gave X-ray a _O-second exposure,
so - uh - everything's coming

239 00 h5 52 PLT Okay, space - space fans,

this is Jack on channel A debriefing
the last - uh - ATM run of the day
which began at 23:50. I ran
off here - uh - JOP - ah - 6,
7, - uh - building blocks
IA and 1B; no problems. Got down
to 2 Bravo and - uh - ran it off
as advertised and - uh - gave
you some TV down-link about - uh -
5 to i0 minutes - uh - time
remaining - uh - on the XUV MON.
And - uh - then I powered her down
for unattended ... and - uh -
102 mechanical at the moment. I
put the switch in OPTICAL, however.
And - uh - I got your pointing
=1most in there. Not quite - uh -
because I was a little rushed there
at the end. But - uh - the only
- uh - thing that - uh - caused me
a little concern during this last
pass around, the time of - ah -
23:55 - uh - to midnight when I
got a - un - a - un - M_MT_H FLAME
ALARM and - uh - noticed the - uh -
•.. - up to arow_d 670. And - uh -
IMAGE INTENSITY COUNTER was - uh -
elevated a littl4.• bit - very
erratic - Jumping between - uh -
roughly - uh - 5 and 20. The - uh -
Thought maybe we had a little flsre
in active region 93 or in the new
region number 8, I believe. Looked
at 'erain H-alpha. They - uh -
appeared fairly bright, particularly 93.
Uh - however, didn't ever get XUV MONITOR
signature. I didn't have it.
I never got anything out of the
X-RAY IMAGE and - uh - my
BERYLLIUM APERTJRE never got
off - uh 4. And the number over
there was - uh - reading up, oh,
around - uh - 3.8. - uh - 3.9
volts. And so - uh - I didn't go
 Dump Tape 239-01
/--_ Pa@e 2 of 23

fot it and - uh - it dropped

down below - uh - the threshold
fairly rapidly. So we might of
had a s_all one. - Uh - on the other
hand we might have been in the
Horn. And - uh - l'm not sure
which. We were down around Australia
at the time. Uh - but we might
ought to be watching that area
anyw_, and - uh - l'd appreciate
knowing if we did have - uh -
little one ov if we were actually
in the Horn. I don't - uh - I have
the Horns plotted on my chart hut
c_ data no longer give it to us.
Uh - that's the time. Our data no
longer give us time that - uh -
when we are going to be in the Horns
and - uh - so forth, So- uh -
we might of had a little one - uh -
not enough to _.ke me go for it and

contingent was the - uh - _.C. and

a little _4AGE I_'_'_RSITYCOUNT,
but the - uh - other - uh - other -
uh - clues did come through on the
XUV, X-RAY IMAGE, or BERYLLIUM, so
- uh - we didn't go for it. I hope
we get one prett) soon. It looks like
we got a lot of _ood active stuff
film - or the - uh - f2ame counters
at the end of the day are H-alpha
14215 _ S056, reading 5020; 82A is
reading 180; 82B is 1337; 52 is
reading 7379, and 54 is reading
5359. That - uh - concludes it
for today and - uh - we'll see you
t_orrow.

239 O0 _9 31 PLT Hello. Here's another commemt for

the ATM guys uh - I notice in looking
at the corona that - uh - we - uh -
as compared to earlier today on 13:30
Dump Tape 239-01
Page 3 of 23

- uh - the corona has taken on

a little more - uh - action -
primarily on the - uh - east
side where - uh - the - uh - the -
uh - brightening around - uh - the
East southeast - uh - part of the
limb appears to be extending
further out in the corona now
then it did earlier today and
on the - uh - East - uh - northeast
- uh - side - uh - we seem to have
- uh - uh - a little more
brightening - uh - than we had
earlier today, also. So it looks
like - uh - the - uh - something's
coming around 'the - uh - east limb
and is - uh - causing the corona
to - uh - brighten up a bit also.
Now that' s the end. Thanks.

239 01 45 17 PLT Thank you. Okay. Uh - how

adaptable are the various
compartments to multiuse purposes
beyond their prime design function?
Well, you can't eat in the - uh -
sleeping compartment ; you can't
sleep in the wardroom, and otherwise
you could probably go and sleep most
anywhere. Uh - there's not much -
uh - light for reading in the
sleeping compartment although I do
read a little bit at night before
I go to bed. You don't want to
read there - you wouldn't want to -
uh - read there very long. There
aren't many places in the spacecraft
you want to spend a whole lot of
time reading cause it hurts your eyes,
cause the lighting - uh - during the
daytime - uh - the window is about

wardroom gets pretty crowded doing

all the multiple _+_nctionsthey got
to do here : looking out the window,
eating, ... medical - uh - using -
uh - tabletops for changing checklist
and all that stuff and - uh - won't
want to make this wardroom any
s_aller and - uh - want to consider
- uh - shipping some of the - uh -
activities we do in here to other
areas. The - uh - window isn't big
_-ough and - uh - we ought to have
more of them. And - uh - we've
c_mented on that before. The upper
dome area - uh - We use it for - uh -
the purpose that - uh - we have up
there. It seems to suit it fairly
very well. No problem and - uh -
exper_ent area down here - The
shower's kinda crowded next to the
hike there. But - uh - being an
add-on, as it was, why I guess
- uh - that's understandable. Now
the head isn't goo_ for anything

Page 5 of 23

hut - uh - doing head work. Uh -

there's no way to fasten yourself
down. And - uh - you don't want
to go in there any more often than
you have to for that reason.
Otherwise, it's a

PLT nice clean place to operate. Uh -

it's - uh - not a messy place. It's
quite adequate to the Job _a_'ve got
to do there except for fastening
yourself down somewhere. Sleep
restraints. The sleep restraint is
- uh - very adequate for - uh -
for sleeping and that's all. You
couldn't do anything else there. I
- uh - don't have any - uh - qualms
about sleeping in the attitude you
put it in. I sleep very well in the
vertical position. Uh - I sleep
all night - very hard. I don't
wake up. I can always sleep pretty

with - uh - only the netting over

me. I don't hardly ever pull - im111
the bl-n_et up e_=eept sometimes in
the morning when it gets cold, why -
uh - I might pull it up and - uh -
and - uh - doze off another h,lf
hour before getting up. But - uh -
I use - uh - the two upper - uh f
straps - uh - a fully loosed. The
bottom strap I've taken loose. I
llke to have them there because they
make me - uh stay against the back of
the bed and - uh - and - uh - stay
in pretty good position although I
doubt that l'd have any - uh -
trouble sleeping if I was drifting

around. I use the head restraints - uh

- the - uh - restraints deal
s_,etimes and sometimes I don't.
I use only two cushions as opposed
to four. I only had two. Four's
too many. Two's about right. Uh -
sometimes I sleep on my stomach;
s_aetimes I sleep on my back.
Dump Tape 239-01
Page 6 of 23

Sometimes I wake up in the

morning and feel like I'm
laying horizontal in the bed.
Other times I don't. I feel
l_ke I'm in some random attitude.
Uh - all in all - uh - works
pretty good for sleeping, and I
like it. Uh -when I sleep on my
side, sometimes I put the metal
strap uuder my rump and - uh -
throw one leg up - uh - like
you'd sleep on your side at
h_me. And - uh - so - sleep-wise,
it's a pretty good restraint.

239 Ol _8 31 PLT What noneating uses have been found

for the wardroom table? Would a
design modification of the table and
it's associated restraints be
desirable for amy or all uses?
Well, we do a lot of checklist
changes at the wardroom table and
- uh - what we need there is
some_aing _o hold the books done
something you could hold the book
down with and write on it the same
time. And hold - uh - something else
in the other hand so that - we
need something to - uh - hold things
down with on the wsrdrocm table for
that. One other thing, while I'm
thinking about it, about the
wardroom tabletop, I think that's
the most miserable latch that's
ever been designed in the history of
mankind or before. That darn latch -
uh - half the time,doesn't latch up
and the other half of the time it
uh - uh shoves right on through, and
you have to get a knife under there
to break it loose. I think that's
a dumb design and it ought to be
changed. Next one. Well, I guess
it's too late for that but - uh -
I can't how such a neat ... could
have such a c_,_-y designed hatch '_:_
on it. Otherwise - uh - it works

pretty good. We tend to complain

/ _ Tape 239-01
Page 7 of 23

about everything because they

always evaluate things - uh -
lookin for - uh - for problems -
uh - by and large everything -
uh - is well designed and works
pretty good. But - uh - so
don't get any - uh - bad complex
because we repeat things negatively.
We - uh - the good things - There
are lots of good things here, too.
And - uh - but one of the cr_l_4est
things in the whole spacecraft is
the latch for the tabletop for the -
_h - for the ... tray, that is.
The center tabletop - uh - we never
Use. It's always fastened up over
the - uh - the overhead - uh - it
fastens down all right or fastens
up there all right but - uh - it'm -
uh - pretty much a useless item. Uh -
we don't - uh - read in here - uh -
we don't read any time, matter of
.y--_ fact, unless it's a checklist or
s_e_n_g. Ana we aon:_ - u_l -
we don't play any games. So - uh -
the center tabletop is not useful.
Other uses of the wardroom table. Uh -
I guess we set an experiment up on
it one time and photographed it
from the top with the TV. That's
about it. Just need some way to
hold things down. •

239 01 50 30 PLT Wh_t sanitation problems have

developed and hn_- have you dealt
with them? Well, that should ...
crew s_n_tary. Uh - I had a minor
urine spill the other d_y because
of m leaky bag and I Just - uh -
was able to ... it up, but it
didn't go anywhere. It Just kinda
cl_a_g to the - uh - to the urine
drawer and I - uh - soaked it off
and cleaned it off and - uh -
no problem. Uh - you can make a
mess in there and - uh - it doesn't
_ Dump Tape 239-01
Page 8 of 23

matter cause you can kinda wash

your hands in the handwasher,
squirt some ... water on you,
don't worry about it spilled, your
hands in under that in - little
sink area and -11 the water mostly -
uh - affixes to the stainless side
of the sink and - uh - some day
or other you can wipe it up if you
want to. But usually it Just dries
up because of the - uh - the dry
climate in here. And otherwise -
uh - water or soapdrops will -
uh - slide around the place and
land s_mewhere and pretty soon dry
up and leave a little watermark,
but - uh - uh - I guess the message
is that - uh - l'd build the
spacecraft without any exposed
wiring and connectors - and places
that water can get in behind and -
uh - short things, out because

Just can't be careful enough to keep

- uh - drops from flying all over.
We Just plan on J_ and that's the
way we operate. You wash yourself
and - uh - wash - uh - waterdrops
from off the washrag and - uh -
some of 'erago up to the experiment
cu_actment and _mme of 'era go upr
in the dome. Some of 'era fly around
the head, and some of 'em get on
you. It's Just the way, operation.
That's why you get so tired of
being careful. You realize it
doesn't n_tter anyway so - uh -
it's better to Jurt let her fly
and wipe it up later - uh - cause
- uh - cause it's the practical
w_y to go so the spacecraft ought
/
to be designed with that in mind.
The head really hasn't been a
sanitation problem, I don't think.
Most of the areas in here that we
have to clean all the time or - uh -
._ Dump Tape 239-01
Page 9 of 23

asked to clean - uh - are

sanitation problems. The one that
is is the garbage area. That
place is a mess - uh - most of
the time and - uh - when it gets
full of garbage and it's a pain
in the rump to have to - uh -
uh - change that out all the
time. Every night we've got to
change all those cans. And - uh -
there's a lot of - kind of loose -
uh - food packets that you can't
clean out - what not, and it gets
kind of messy over there sometimes.
The plastic tops off our food cans -
uh - like peaches and - uh uh - of
meat and that kind of thing - uh -
with the membrane in there, they're
always sloppy wet with Juice or
something sticky and - uh - ... -
going in there, too and - uh -
they create an mess - uh - especial/_
_ when they float up and - uh -
cans Jus_ go in there _zd _4
there. They float _11 over there's
Junk in there like cute little pieces
of garbage. When you open it up - uh -
sausage for one is very crumbly
and - uh - if you don't get it =11
eaten, out of %_e bag, why - uh -
one of these times you open that
thing, it - sausage is gonna co*me
flying

PLT up at you. So - uh - s_uff floats

around in there and - uh - gets
loose and - %th - makes a mess around
that area, so that's probably one of
the areas we ought to think a little
more about the next time - ... time
arotmd is to - uh - design the - 11h -
eating, garbage disposal a little
bit better.

239 Ol 53 39 PLT Uh - what is the most disconcerting

personal hygiene problem
_-_ Dump Tape 239-01
Page 10 of 23

you've encountered? Well, I

really - uh - really haven't
encountered a - disconcerting one.
I - uh - brush my beeth and comb
my hair and shave every morning
Just like I do at home. And
the deordorunt works very well.
Oh - I found that - uh - I tried
going one day without, but
you do need it and - uh - and
it does work very good. And - uh -
I think one of the - uh - things
that solves some of that t_giene
problem in here is the dry climate.
lYa - things dry up very readily -
very fast - and - uh - so if you're
sweating or something, _hy - uh -
uh you dry off quite - quite well
and I think it's an advantage to have
this kind of climate. I wouldn't
w_ut to have it any drier but I
like it the way it is. Uh - I

probably the - uh - a little hit

6iseoncerting, but - uh - it's
probably the most - uh - uh -
the problem that we really haven't
got licked unless you take a
ehower, l've only t_ken one
shower - uh - that was last week
and - Uh - I thi_k it's prohabl_
more a pain in the neck than it's
_rth, It's something you o_gjat
to do to ..., but one thing I
don't like about the shower is
that kind of soap, you have to
use - uh - that kind of soap,
kind of sticks to you. It's hard
to @et it all off. The shower
doesn't take .11 the water off you -
Qr a1_ the soap so there's no
wsy to get it all off. You Just to
go around _nelling like that soap
for a couple of days and it kinds
stim@s a little bit and - uh - I
don' t like that soap at all. That' s
/_ Dump Tape 239-01
Pa6e ii of 23

one reason I didn't take a

shower this week. The other
reason is that - uh - you Just
don't get too dirty up here and -
uh - there's nothing to get dirty
on and you don't _et too sweaty
because your sweat dries up in a
hurry and - uh - and - uh - _u
don't sweat for long periods of time.
And - uh - that residue that's
left on your akin after sweating can
be - uh - which is primarily salt I
guess - uh - can probably be - can
be - uh - washed off - wiped off with
a sponge hath which is what I do
every night. And _ uh - ... washing
your hair, there is good way to do
it unless you do it in the shower.
And what I've take to is Just
getting my scalp wet and - uh -
soaping it down _nd - uh - cle-n_ng
it out with soap and a rag as
best I could, But - uh _ be nice
• o h_ve some shampO_O. I th_n_ T_e
next crew to c_e up ought to
have some kind shampoo instes_
of that han_ so_. Surely, the
shower soap I don't want to use
again and - uh - and - uh - the
hand soap really doesn't do a
good Job on your scalp the way
you'd like it to. •

239 01 56 06 PLT Okay. - Uh - now effective and

efficient are the cleanup procedures
and hardware? How much of a
timeline imposition are cleanup
chore? Uh - they're a nuisance
really. Uh - there's too _uch
cleaning up especially in hiocide
wipe. And most of the time we're
on biociding things things that
don't get - have to get biocided.
And - uh - when we do biocide them,
why, it's - uh - too often. So -
uh - in all the procedure of going
through this business of washing it
 Dwap Tape 239-01
Ps_e 12 of 23

with soap and rinsing it down,

then biociding it and then washing
it with water again that's -
that's a bunch of malarky. You
should do either one or the other
and forget it, cause - uh - four times
over one area to get it clean is -
uh - is - uh - a d,,_ way to go
and it's one of the reasons we
don't do more cleaning than we do.
One of the best ways to get
things wiped up around here,
I've noticed, is Just take a
wet rag and go around and wipe them
up. When I wiped on the w.11. -
uh - uh - especially in the
wardroom - uh - food gets loose.
You open up so many cans and -
uh - and - uh - little drops go
flying all around and - uh - they
stick all over you and you get
p SpOts of Juice and - uh - other
_ints or foods - un - s_icEing ...
the - uh - refrigerators an_ to
the food locker, and - uh - the
best way to get them off is Just
take a wet rag and wipe them all
down. And - uh - all this baloney
about - uh - about - uh - soaping
a place and then rinsing it, and
then bioeiding it, then rinsingPit
again is Just too much to trouble
with it.

239 01 58 28 PLT Seine of it doesn't get done and

- uh - probably do more of it -
more cleaning if we didn't have to

is the ATM chair? Never use it _ don't

tearing and abrasions? Well, let's
go over that first - first things
first here. How comfortable? Oh,
they're plenty cnm_ortable. I don't
do anything to modify them. I Just
put them on. Sometimes I wear
the Jockey shorts, sometimes I wear
the - uh - the - uh - boxer sho_s.
I think - uh - uh - like to have a
clean - clean pair of skivvies
everyday. And - uh - the - uh -
extra ones we brought up, I
think, were as beneficient.
Uh - I don't ever wear the - uh -
white T-shirts except to bed at
night. Uh - uh - during the day,
I don't wear the - uh - the turtle-neck
- uh - - what you call it - the
duress shirt either because - uh -
I don't know, it's Just too warm
and - uh - uh - it doesn't have
the pockets in it that the - uh -
the outer garment does, or the
/_ jacket does. The Jacket's got - uh -
Dump Tape 239-01
Pa_e i_ of 23

pockets in it and - uh -
you can keep pintle flashlights
and - uh - tapes and whatever
Junk you picked up along the way in
a picket. And besides pockets -
the - uh - duress shirts - uh -
are not thick - and it's a little
warm and - uh - it's got that
turtle-neck to increase warmth.
It looks good but - uh - it doesn't
absorb the sweat much either so,
I haven't used the one - one of
them for one dau amd - uh - and -
uh I decided not to use any more
after that. Uh - cause of course,
T-shirts aren't - uh - don't give
any flnsl authority protection
plus they don't have - uh - the
pockets in them, so I wound up
Just wearing the - uh - Jacket, with
no shirt trader it. And - uh - it's
very comfortable and cool that
way. I don't sweat into, so

it's no sweat up here unless

you're working out on the bike.
And - uh - and - uh - so I ...
around the - uh - mode. Trousers
- uh - with a pocket full of Junk
and - uh - and - uh - the Jacket
by itself with - uh - whatever
stuff I need to pocket in them. _
Another thing you don't have enough
of up here is socks. You should
have an extra clean pair of socks
for every day. I don't wear them
ion@handles at all. I don't need
them; but the temperature's Just
ri6ht. Uh we weren't sure about the
temperature to begin with. But I
don't need them to sleep in. I - uh -
prefer not to. And - uh - so - uh -
underwear-wise: _11 1 wear is
skiwies. Other comments, I
need one pair socks a day, one pair
of skivvies a day, one pair of

trousers a reek is about right,

and - uh - one Jacket every
two weeks is adequate, - uh - swell.

239 02 01 27 CDR Hey, try to ...

239 02 01 32 PLT Uh - were they sufflciently

resistant to tearing and abrasion?
Yeah, they - u_ - don't tear or abrade.
Uh - uh - I had one that the
pocket came off from. One
pair of trousers had the - uh -
Yes, I put that down.

239 02 Ol _7 CDR I'ii b_ back in a second.

239 02 01 48 PLT (kay. Thank you. Before

and after dressing or something.
Uh - the one that is the - uh -

that you keep little checklist

having with them, uh - they fit
good. Uh - pintle pocket works
good and the little - uh -
pocket for your PHD works good
or your dosimeter. And - uh -
it's that other pocket back there
for your scissors doesn't work
good at _ll. It's not big P
anought to keep _he scissors in.
The scissors are too long for it.
It keeps coming loose and the
scissors come out. Too much of a
nuisance to hand em on anyway
cause you have to unwrap them
evil, time you want to use them,
so I wind up putting them in one
of the other pockets and that
scissors pocket is no good for
nothing. So that's the only gripe
I got about that.
 Dmnp Tape 239-01

239 02 02 39 PLT Let's see what else? Do they

tend to snag as you move about?
No, they don't seem to snag.
Recom-_ndations for improving
the garment? Well, I think they're
adequate the way they are. I like
them okay. I use my lower left
pocket for trash, Junk, every place
I pick up some trash I put in there
and I hardly ever empty it. When
I - I - Just leave it _i]1 and -
throw it awa_ when I throw away my
trousers. My lower right pocket,
why I use that for picking up
equipment that I might want to use.
There's always restraints, and
hungers, and stuff like that, floating
around, and - uh - lots of places
where they are not being used,
so when I see one, I know l'm
going to need it sometime, I pick
it up and put it in that pocket
and I use it sometime. In my
lef_ si_e pocKe_ - I - I keep my
tape and my timer in there.
Always need that tape - the gray
tape works eve_here, so I keep
some handy. Always the timer
somewhere, too, so I can keep it
handy there. My right side pocket
- that's the flat one - I put F
my scissors in there and - and
can't remember what else - and
whatever else I need to carry
around. Oh, I llke the garments
pretty well. The ones - the
ones I've used. There are some I
wish I had more of.

239 02 03 58 PLT What changes have you detected in

the environmental elements discussed
as the last question in the first
debriefing? Well, I don't know.
Have you used any of the 487
instx_-_nts to document these changes?
I've noticed a little change in
temperature. Since I got the sail
/>_ Dmnp Tape 239-01
Page 17 of 23

out, it got a little cooler;

we got a high Beta angle and
it got all warmer again. And
every once in a while I use a
visual thermcmenter to check the
temperature - and - uh - other
than that - why the temperature
has been pretty stable. And
drying time ... the humidity is
about right. Keeps you dry, you
don't sweat much; not humid,
everything dries up real well.
Put something out to dry and it's
dry in a Jiffy. Little dry for
the ... but it hasn't really
completely got through yet, but
I'm getting there. So I wouldn't
m-_e it any drier, I wouldn't make
it any wetter, either. I like the
b,_,4dity the way it is. Airflow-vise,
the ventilation is excellent.

239 02 04 57 PLT I llke the ventilation of

sleep compartments, too. Good
deal we got those vents in there,
otherwise, we'd be too stuffy,
too hot. Cause otherwise, air
wouldn't circulating in there.
That was a good plan to put -
ought to have ventilation in every
-,_ll compartment that you come •
up with. So, there's been no
fan changes really, the ones
that I had used - had noted
before the temperature rising
had _87 document those, at least
if I haven't docu_erlted them, I've
- I've noted them as a matter of
course.

239 0_ 05 27 PLT So that kind of wrap up the

roundtable discussion for Jack,
and I'ii pass this on to somebody
else.

CDR Okay. I 'ii get it.

239 0_ 15 26 CDR How do you bear? Okay, this

is the CDR - uh - in the round
table discussion on Mh87-2B.
Now it's obvious that everybody
isn't gathered around, they're
Just floating, doing some work
in the area. We thought this
would be more reasonable than
the other fellows standing around
_ust listening to one talk. So
here I go. How adaptable are the
various compartments to multi-uses
beyond their prime design function?
Well, they're not too much so. For
the simple reason they are
designed for specific functions
and everything we have to do up
here is a specific function and
so there's a place to do it.
Now, except for a few. Now, for
e_mple, we never came up with a
place to collect all these
___ checklists, the Fl/_h¢. P_ns _.ha%.
we're always having to de. And
that's probably one of the biggest
holdbacks in the. whole operation.

239 02 16 22 CDR Sometimes we us_ - uh & stick it on

the _all with our feet and doing it.
That doesn't work too well. Sometimes
in the ATM tape it • and that works
pretty good cause you've got
places to stick tape. Most of
: the time we borrowed tables but
they don't have snywey to tie
down these tables. I've got -
I put my feet over it and do it,
but it's still not acceptable ....
the next spacestion. Too bad
that they didn't do it in the
individn-1 - uh - c_mpartments.

239 02 16 57 CDR The bead's _-ll. Multiple use

there. Course you get to go in
there and do medical work or
_-_ Dmnp Tape 239-01
Page 19 of 23

anything, but - No, you do the

medical work in the wardroom.
Looking out the window in the
wa_dro_ is useful. Wardroom
needs to be bigger.

FLT ... I don't think ...

239 0_ 17 26 CDR Okay. How adequate are the

sleep restraints ? Excellent.
Sleep restraints need more
bungers. Needs a softer
pillow, it needs a softer
cover to hold your head to the
pillow. Other than that I
think it's real good.

239 02 17 38 CDR One of the niecest things about

it is the ability of it to be
moved to different places rather
simply and to be usable in those
other places, Just in case the
/--_ t_rDp_.11_ , _oc_ T _ _
in the MDA about 4 or 5 nights
because I thoug_ it was much
cooler there. _:ow that it has
cooled off down here this is
certainly satisfactory. Another
disadvantage, I think, is you
cannot put on - you can put
only one blanke_ on your bung. ,
I certa/nly have two, but I had
to use safety pins. Another
disadvantage is there's so much
billowing down near the feet
because your body heat won't
keep it warm. S_ we 'ii - so
we' II _ able to - also put
some pins in there to decrease
the vol_,-_. That turns out to
be real fine .... you think
about it. Perhaps at the foot.

- more than anyone else, that's
JUSt one of the things we

overlooked. You wanted plenty

of foot room- toe room - you
didn't realize it would also - -

239 02 18 45 CDR What non-eating uses have been

found for the wardroom table?
We use it ... Would a design
modification of the table and
its associated restraints be
desirable? Definitely. You
need restraints on top of the
table to hold different items
when you're working on books and
checklists.

239 02 19 02 CDR The foot restraints are too _,_II

to house the triangle shoes.
The ones - uh - the leg
restraints are good and the
thigh restraints are excellent
with one exception. The little
bars - the four little bars
/-_ that come out and fit a_ainst
• the front and back of the thighs
should be wider, so they can
provide some leverage points.
As they are, they're small and
you tend to flop around in them -
in the shoes _ you see. They can
be large enough to slip in and
they can be nice and tight fit. •
You could move arou d.

is ... fecal ... allow you to have

then the whole thing is ... germ

now that we've got one behind

239 02 22 43 CDR How comfortable are your garments?

Excellent garments. A little too
many pantS, little too .m.y Jackets.

Jackets, pants every two weeks.

the only dirt you get on is your

sweat from your body, which
isn't much up here, I notice.
Sweat doesn't stink, by that I
mean l've noticed that nobody
seems to have body odor over
here whether or not you use a
deodorant. Now, l've noticed
the same situation in smell,
our clothes got to smelling bad
there - I noticed after a day or
two, particulorly the shirts. But
here they don't and all I can imagine
is - is the fact that we Just
aren't putting out as many salt
and minerals, or they're going
somewhere else, probably out in
the urine. Do they tend to snag
as you move? No, they're good.

239 02 52 47 SPT Okay. M487-2 Brovo. This is the SPT.

How adaptable are the various
compartments to mult-uses beyond their prime
design function? I think it's already been
mentioned that - uh - all of our tasks
have already been designed for. We have - uh
very little free time to spend elsewhere.
And so, if they even fit their prime
design function that's doing well enoguh.
And - uh - see no need to be multi-used.
Uh - this window, I'm rmemeber A1 was
_ commentingon the fact it does need to be
signed waere you can -oo_ at l_ 1_om
any angle. Might have been better to put
it in the - uh - uh - above the
experiment level so that there was more room
- uh - vertically. That is along the
X-axis, because - uh - you can only inch
your body in any direction. It would
have been a very good multi-use facility.
In the dome area is probably the* only thing
that descover the work multi-use because
when you consider everything else up there
it requiaes a l_ttle bit of room where - uh -
some of our TV ... sleep restraint's been
quite adequate. Useful for nothing
else. Non-eating used? Essentially
nothing. Design mod - uh - desireable.
We need some restraints that work for our
feet. For my restraints, I do use, foot
restraints are almost useless because
they don't fit the right thing. There is a
place for the triangle shoes. That's the one
i
i

i
 Dump Tape 239-02
Page 2 of 3

that when i put my foot that almost

invariably gets the triangle eoekel,
You put in there, when you pull out,
then the triangle is half cocked, then you
nearly - uh - you hage to direct it
by your fingers to get it turned
around. So the one thing that mig_ht
of been useful, it turned out to be
a hinderance for me. Sanitation problem
it's really nothing. I think A1 - uh -
surely mentioned the - uh -
place for - uh - food waste - uh - dumping
these cans and things like that. Personal
hygiene: well, I'm annoyed because there's
no place to brush my teeth. I get around
that by Just sort of brushing them with
water and chewing gum. Uh - I'm annoyed
because I can't - uh - wash my hair very
well. There's no place that you can - uh -
really - uh - scrub your head down. I
tried it a little bit with that float
/-- for the showers, but no good. Should've
had ... I think Jack mentioned that.

239 02 55 13 SPT It might be possible to put a little

bag over your - uh - top of your head
sort of like a woman's - uh - hair net or - un
dryer enclosure. And you put a little
water and soap in and then just, you know
right - reach right through that to scrub
your scalp. That might work and then you
could - uh - squirt water in there and - uh .
somehow get the water out. Anyway, a
possibility. How adequate the ATM chair?
(Chuckle) I needed it once and - uh -
sat in it and found that it - uh - it didn't
fit al all. The grid to put your feet
through is - uh - for better. Toehar
needs another .... no we've never used
the chair, we Just gotta find a better
place to stow it, as Jack said. Garmets
are pretty comfortable. I haven't modified
any of them. Uh - too bad that the knife
won't hold the knife. It falls slightly.
Too bad the - uh - uh - no place to put
the sissors. Sort of handy to have those
f- sissorsalong. But it seemsthat
Dump Tape 239-02
l_ge 3 of 3

every time you use them you gotta

unroll them cause there's no place
to - uh - ~ uh - keep that - uh -
string rolled up. I'm not quite sure what
we ought to say on -.uh - on the - uh - sissors.
I Just hold them in one of my pockets.
The trousers do not doff easily enoguh
because of the triangle shoes. You do
need to hop in and out of your trousery
every now and then. And - uh - it would be
better if probably if they didn't
have that - ah - cuff in the bottom. I
gonna try cutting mine out for awhile.
No, they don't wear, they don't abrade
and they don't snag. Could be a little
cooler as far as the environment is
cencerned, could be a little more humid.
Although I understand there are condensatian
problems and so on to be concerned about
there. And the thermometer is the only
things we - we haven't noticed the
temperature coming down.

do not mare to ea_ it individually

Every time I eat bread, I eat it

Out all together, and I do not ears
to have eigher one of them

why I do not care for the break

Now, - uh - uh - I've been practicing

all down satisfactorily. And I've
noticed a couple of things. First of all,
there's too much slop, too much play
in the foot mounting to the camera and
in the foot mounting of the optical
sight and so as you turn the vesnier
drive to track the horizon - or the airglow
it will be - uh - there - uh - there -
uh - it oscillated back and forthin
the viewfinder. Now to Drevent that. I
put gray tape at the foot mounting of
both the camera and on the optical sight.
And with that gray tape there, it of course
would still aliew the ... to move it.
But at least it doesn't oscillate back
and forth. And so the technique that I've
been using is - do not touch the eyepiece
with my eye at _ll and only driye it by
my hand and that's the only contact
made with the instrument and then it will
drive rather smoothly and I think I can
track it to something on the order of i0
kilometers or something like that. I
haven't tried it yet, of course, but i'll
get a better estimate of it.

239 14 27 13 SPT Now - uh - without that gray tape on there

to stabilize it, it'll oscillate and
bounce around over something like
40 kilometers, and there's Just no way
of tracking it - uh - uh - stably at
all, and it would smear the image far too
Dump Tape 239-04
Page 2 of 9

much, I'm sure. So - uh - uh -

interesting to see how these photographs
come out and I will be set up here at the
prescribed time. Uh - I'm going to call
down on the real time and request an
extra pad for tonight, and you should
- uh - hear that long before you get
this - probably before you get the
channel A transcription. Over.

239 lh 27 51 SPT So this is the end of the message for

the moment. I'll be back on with the
operation.

239 lh 37 07 SPT Okay, we're getting set for S063 ops, and
my first camera setting is going to
be as follows. Sitting on 43, because
my top camera is still at zero and so my
first exposure is actually going to be
frame zero on the top of the camera which
will not be used any longer and - uh -
frame number _3 on the bottom of the
Nikon which is the camera set up that

set up on the horizon. Now if I can

find it.

239 i_ 38 13 SPT Okay, there it is. And the rotation

at this point is about 223. 223,
not 125. All rxght, my light on in
the optical sight, and we are good on
16, 16-second time exposure, and*we got
about 1 minute til our first frame.

239 lh 39 05 SPT Just for information, I do have some

lights on here in the experiment - uh -
area. I didn't turn light dome light number
6 and dome light number 5, that's called
experi - - uh - that's called dome 5 and 6,
yeah. And I'm gonma check my settings
here again. Fram number is h3, 16 seconds,
I'm setting on T and I'm setting on T.

SPT Okay, coming up on our first exposure.

You right is actually more clearly defined
in the airglow at this point. I'm going
to track to the right. Stand by. A star
rightnow, I don't%mderstand.

239 14 40 28 SPT MARK.

SPT That was not a very good one because

I couldn't hold the exposure. - Uh - I
couldn't hold the horizon - uh - very
clearly. Might be that I'm gonna have to
get better dark adapted. Now, that one
was at 6300; next one'll be 5577. Three-5577.
Got about 2 minutes, I'm gonna try to get
off the headset here and get some more
lights turned off.

SPT If you don't mind, Jack, I'm gonna turn

some lights off. I can't even see the
horizon.

SPT ...

239 lh 42 21 SPT ... Okay, I'm back on the headset now.

Got the rotation performed. I see stars,
but don't see the horizon yet. Man, there's -
_ Boy, that is dim. Have to keep my eye to
the eyepiece Just to - Can't even really
see it. No way to _racK it. 11oway co
track it with this much light.

SPT The Earth is pitch black and I see no

horizon. A ver_ ... rigtht there. Cannot
track it well; ]"m gonna give it a try.
Gonna make this a 60-second exposure, too.

23914 44 34 SPT MARK. •

SPT Okay now it's coming a little more clearer.

Okay now you're right - Now the airglow
is more clearer and I think I can track it
from now on. And a 46-seonds - 46-minutes
[sic] exposure. Getting my penlight out
and pen. Be a 32-second, 8300 - 32 seconds -
300 -

239 14 h6 15 SPT MARK.

SPT Okay there's that exposure. Okay, actually

6h-second exposure. 14 - 4-1/2 ...

.... CREW ...

 Dump Tape 239-04
Page 4 of 9

SPT Uh - No. Yeah, I don't think it'll

hurt. Okay now I noticed as I rotate the
mirror, I can only see the horizon and
about half the field of view. Uh - The
mirror itself only - uh - say covers
a little less than that - maybe 40 percent
of the full view to this - uh - telescope.
And - uh - covered by the - uh - tiltable
AMS there. And I see the stars right down
through the airglow. The Earth's horizon
is essentially - the Earth's limb is
essentially invisible, but the airglow
layer is - uh - sort of fuzzy or brown - looks
brown through here. Stars are very bright.
That's pretty dim - pretty dim horizon;
pretty ... airglow. Okay we're coming
up here on hg. We'll do this 64-second
exposure.

239 14 h9 ii SPT MARK.

239 14 49 21 SPT End of exposure. Okay that was a 6h. Okay

h9, next one's at 52 and that's a 6300

there's 6_. Okay my estimate is that I

might be holding this thing to I0 kilometers
or so. I'm estimating the distance on the
- uh - by the distance to which stars are
still visible and - uh - the thickness of
the airglow layer really pretty good. And
I can see - uh - when the stars are extinguished,
which I presume is fairly closePto the
Earth's limb. A_id calling that distance
80 kilometers, which is just - I think
was supposed to be the difference between
the edge of the solid line and the dashed
line - Or if you like, - uh - another
way - That's right. You put the pedestal
on the Earth's limb and the dashes line
would be on the airglow horizon, which is
pretty close. And - uh - my estimate is
I'm holding it to about l0 kilometers.
Now, I've gotta this rotation better.

SPT Okay, stand by -

--_ 239 14 52 21 SPT MARK.

Dump Tape 239-04
Page 5 of 9

239 14 53 29 SPT End of this exposure this rotation that

was a pretty good one, too. Uh - These
are coming along all right. I do have to
put my eye into the cup because it - uh
- I can't see the horizon well enough if
I don't. Coming upon the next one one
- Ought to be about 55. It'll be 5577
3-32 seconds. 5577 is dropping to 32
seconds. Switching the filter to - uh -
5577- Okay -

SPT Okay, and now the - after we rotated

this far - uh - Well, the mirror may cover
a little bit more - larger area. The -
uh - horizon is fairly low but I can - uh -
32 seconds is so long, it takes a couple
of' minutes for the horizon to cross the - uh -
field of view; so 32 seconds is not bad.

SPT Okay we're coming up on time for this

exposure. Start@ by -

239 lh 55 17 SPT MARK.

239 14 55 51 SPT End of exposure. The next one should

be at 58. And the - uh - Well, it's
not. Knock off for a while until 15:08.
Got to take up at 64 - gonna take up at
the sunrise; I figured 5508. Okay, that
means - uh - ha'_e about a lO- minute break
here. Now it could be I'm a little bit
deceiving myself because the ai@ - airglow
horizon is obviously not as distant as
the Earth's horizon is in the daytime. So
it's - uh - possible I'm not holding at
quite l0 kilometers; but - uh - that's my
impression, based upon the difference between
the base of tha_ pedestal and the - uh -
horizontal dashed line. So I can sit up
here for the next exposure number 7 and
the top of my counter ought to be sitting
on 6, which it is and the bottom, 38. That
looks good; okay. Still at 55 -.. and
go back to 54.

239 15 06 01 SPT Okay, we're back on the line here for the
15:08 exposure,which is 2 minutes away;
Dump Tape 239-04
Page 6 of 9

checking my settings. It'll be 5577.

That's all right, AI.

CDR ...

SPT 5577, 64 seconds; and that's all we got to

do is to find the horizon here. - Find
the airglow. So I'ii Just about do that
Okay, there it is. Lot of tilt; standing
our heads here shortly .... sure quite
how we will do that. Probably slipped the
thing 180 degrees and then - as a matter
of fact, I can't really reach the knobs.
Okay. l're 30 seconds to go here.

SPT Stand by -

239 15 08 18 SPT MARK.

239 15 09 27 SPT End of the exposure. Now, it's rather

interesting, the tilt or the rotation
unit changes so fast, the - uh - angle of
the horizon with respect to our - uh - X-axis

exposure change - the rotation. I don't

get the words quite right. And - uh - I
was trying to sort of hold on the horizon
at the center of the field of view ....
that can be done here, but - uh - it's
hound to cause some blurring and ther@'s
obviously no way to - uh - adjust this -
uh - rig to account for the cha_e in
the rotation. Okay, we're coming up now on -
the next exposure is at ll:15 - Oh, it
can't be - 300. I want the other one right
now. Okay. Okay, 5300 ; and it 's also
64 seconds. Be a few seconds late looks
llke. Coming out of my foot restraints,
no way to stay locked in here. Sort of
standing on head as it is.

239 15 ii 02 SPT MARK.

239 15 12 08 SPT End of exposure. Think that one went

fairly well. And again on here at 12, ...
5577. Okay let me switch this. Also
6h secondsand let me get that thing in
 Dump Tape 239-04
Page 7 of 9

there readjusted. Oh, boy; it's tough now.

SPT Standby.

239 15 13 13 SPT MARK.

239 15 14 20 SPT End of exposure. And I tried to adjust

the ring setting just a little bit as the
Earth's horizon was rotating - uh - with
some success. It didn't seem to cause any
large perturbation in attitude or in
the camera pointing. So I think that it
may have helped. Okay that was 12; the
next one's at l_ which I've - uh -
Just missed - 6300, with a 32 seconds.
Okay dropping down to 32 seconds; there you
are, 6300. So we go on that one.

239 15 15 35 SPT MARK.

239 15 16 08 SPT End of exposure. And the horizon is

getting- the airglowis gettingpretty
faint now .... 577, 32 seconds. Had
bo swibch l*_d_ as w_il _ Lh_ pui*_L
and I'm vert - uh - tracking ... with
the other hand, which - uh - caused some
perturbation.

SPT Okay ...

SPT Stand by -

239 15 17 05 SPT MARK.

239 15 17 38 SPT End of the exposure. I don't think that

one was so good because - uh - the horizon
is not so clear; it almost was getting
a little patcy. There was a dark patch
in there which is still in there, which
I - sort of confused me as to where the
airglow horizon was for a little bit. So
there might have been a little smearing on
that one. That was the one at 16; next one
is at 15:18, for which I have right now.
16 second exposure, 6300. Okay I'm dropping
to - uh - 16 seconds and - uh if I can
•
_ find the twin filter- 6300. Okay. Okay
I can see the Earth's limb now, as well
 Dump Tape 2B9-0h
Page 8 of 9

as the airglow. Retract the airglow.

SPT Stand by i.

239 15 18 48 SPT MARK.

239 15 19 05 SPT End of the exposure. Okay that's the

end of this set. That completes 16 exposueres,
and - uh - get the camera settings here.
Top of m_ camera reads - uh - 12. I think
that's correct; it was - that's right
that's the number exposures. And
- uh - the bottom of the camera is the counter
that we will use is reading 32. Okay,
see if there's any other comments here
that you want recorded before we shut
her down. No, I think those are all the
comments that you need but, if I've
forgotten anything why be sure and - uh
- bring it up. Now, there's one other
thing that I want to note. Uh - The -
uh battery in the - uh - sight is
f- apparently inoperative. Uh- the one
LhaL was iu Lh_re, when i tried to
turn it on, did not work althought
the switch was in the off position. And
there was apparently nothing else wrong
with it. But - uh - uh - I changed the
battery out and it works fine. I think
I only have one replacement. So we'll
have to be careful with this one. I assume
this experiment will run on SL-_ and you
probably ought to send up a couple of
new batteries for the sight and Just
reverfying my land(?) is in the off
position and that's the way I found
it when I was using the other battery
in the off position. But it - uh - %Lh -
was somehow inoperative. I haven't
checked it with a multimeter, hut I
assume the battery is dead. So the Sun's
coming up and that's essentially the end
of this particular run. Got another run
tonight and I'm gonna request an extra
run - uh - set up after the late one tonight.
And we'll see if there's any problem with
gettingthat done. Okay, there'sa little
problem with wrientation here. It takes
Dump Tape 239-02
Page 9 of 9

a while to - uh - get used to switching

hands in the middle of the operation so
that you can keep your feet locked into the
pedestal here. But it is e_sential -
essentailly, necessary to do that.
Cause you can't - uh - You don't have
sufficient stability. 0kay_ I'm looking
at a very bright horizon right now. Still
see a very faint airglow. So - uh - I'm
a little more pleased and optimistic now
that we got some good pictures. And - uh -
I think this is far better than andy h_ndheld

comments you may have as to - uh - how - uh -
how it appeared to run from the ground, SPT,

In this JOP-4 Bravo - uh -

when I got to - uh - the -

feet off the dock, going to his left
to his left to - uh - get to the
donning station.

239 21 24 43 PLT Fly to donning station and station

keep. Don't grab a hold, Just station
keep. You're little bit low, because
you're gonna hit foot - - . Okay,
here he is space fans, in front of the
donning station. Now AI, I'm going
to go to - uh - ID 2 here, and what
you're gonna do is do a C offset hut
imavert, indirect. Nine minutes,
900 psi.

hold and I'ii turn off the DAC,
DAC 's are off. Okay, I 'm going
to stow the - uh - SOP at 554,
whereever that may be. Okay, that
thing is stowed.

239 21 32 57 PLT Okay, the next thing - uh - let's

check here the psi. We got 1500
PSI. This requires a thousand.
You're gonna do 8 minutes of touch
- and - go, - uh - A1. I'm gonna
turn on the DAC. You're gonna go
to rate gyro, fly the baseline,
but do not stop at each station,
keeping point Just slow the rate
and touch.

239 21 33 19 PLT Data mark at each touch. You got

it? Rate gyro, wait a m_nute. DAC's
are on. Okay, you're cleared.

from the banjo, rear the washer.

239 2J 34 27 PLT The kid picks up the washer. He

puts it in his washer pocket. He's
thrusting and periodiclly he's
touching the banjo. Translates away from
the banjo, now, yaws to his left;
he'll put a roll in there. An
occasional burst from the rate
gyro thrusters. In the plane of
the do - uh - water tank, on his
left side, needs to put in a little
yeft - left yaw yet, then he'll be

dome lockers hers. Six to 8 inches
away from the dome lockers. Translating
with no problems. Gives it an
occasional burst and a half; a little
up. Okay, translates very easily
and nicely around the ... which is
where he is now. He reaches out
and touches it, hacks off and down.
Yaws to his left. Little bit
machine gun firing of the - uh -
gyro system.

239 21 37 49 PLT Okay, now he's facing the donning

station right ov, r the crew

be back.

239 21 49 27 SPT Okay, this is a - uh - message for

the ATM Pls and planners. _ debrief -
debriefing the last couple of runs
on the - uh - ATM panel. Now we've
olUSt been doin_ @his - uh - nreorbit
progam on limb scans and - uh - I
believe that it's going to go Just
about as planned, except for the
fact I could no_ maintain a constant
latitude. In order to stay within
the coronal hol._, I had to - uh -
correct distance from the limb which
I believe to be the most important,
but they are not along precisely
a constant latitude. Uh - it may
actually fall within the tolerances
that are specified on the JOP sheets,
but it'll be a little close. And that's
about the only significant deviation
that - uh - that I am aware of. - Uh -
the positions 130.45 that are on the
limb are Just about right and - uh -
all the limb scan work seems to be
going as expected. Uh - I'm
about - uh - halfway through the
second orbit right now and - uh -
then we'll - uh - continuing the

239 21 57 52 PLT Okay, space fans. Here we are again.

We got the consumables changed out.
Battery number 6 in there now and PSS
number 2. And - uh - this is a
tracking test. DACs are on. We've still
got the same - uh - ID. Okay,
what you need to do is - uh - fly
down to the center of the workshop,
head up facing 43-° data mark. Pitch
down to face the intersecion of
the walls and the deck. A new data _k.
Rotate 180 degrees while tracking the
wall/deck intersection, down here.

RATE GYRO, MODE tracking the
intersection between the wall and the
deck having no trouble at all. Are
your wheels up to speed yet? Okay,
he's going to do the same thing to
his right now in CMG. He rotated
180 degrees - uh - facing - uh - 1020
donning station area. Now he's - uh -
yawing to his right doing whatever
is necessary to - uh - continue
tracking the - uh - wall and the deck

be repositioned. So he's going to go over and -
uh - work on that fan a little bit with the
maneuver unit. Meanwhile our trusty Cecil B.
DeGarriot is taking. TV. A1 flies over here. He
unhitches the fan from the handrail. He's go
and puts it in a different location somewhere, AI.
Right behind you there's a good handrail.
Immediately behind you. Okay, he drives the fan
over to the new location. As though he were
fixing it. Give O1' Wilber a good blast with

he's - uh - in DIRECT now, he says - uh - which
is the most gas saving - uh - of the two modes.

of this dude. That-a-way, A1, I might as well
take this back into the - unh! There you are.

Wait till he turns arotuud, save your gas. I'll
turn you aroun, % you c8c_ go from there. Boy, it's
easy to handle you. You're about 500 pounds

PLT ...

CDR All right. Put this down. Okay, give it a mark.

He's getting re_dy to mark. Let me check
your pressure. You got 8 to 900; okay. Baseline
maneuver. Okay, he's giving me a mark now. He's
now starting to back up. I notice that he sits-
uh - sits - his - uh - that little seat - that
little rod that you sit on - uh - I notice there's
quite a gap between his tail and back of the
flying unit. He's setting on it. I assume
that's Just norm_lly set. He's making a nice
rotation; flying it DIRECT.

CDR Very, very well restrained in the vehicle now

with that maneuvering system% not moving
around at all. He's real good on it. Don't
forget the data mark, Jack. Okay -

239 22 51 14 CDR DATA MARK. He's up there. He's gonna be turning

around and coming this way in a few minutes ;
What he done. See what we can do about it.

CDR He's in complete control, His legs aren't

wobbling. The vehicle's not - doesn't appear to
have any problems associated with control of it.

CDR Okay, stabilize. Gonna take it very slowly. You

never have the impression for a second there's
anything out of control. Everything's positive,
nothing moves unless the thruster fires. Mostly
you get the feeling that - uh - that everything's
under complete control as he is working the
c ont r ol.

CDR What? He's being slow now; he's halting a little

bit - here he comes, Gave you a data mark. He's
off, Just a little bit of the FMU-Z. He's
Actually, it takes up quite a bit of room in here.
I never realized it until I got up in the dome
watching him fly. He's got about - across the
workshop about - His legs Swings sideways and
in additional other lengths, maybe a little bit
more. So we've had to utilize full expanse of the
J work.qhnp. T_'s- it'_" big cr.cug_ito do Lh_ Job,
but it's certainly not - uh - excessive. Much
bigger area wo_'id desirable, certainly. But
this is adequate. You can do your maneuvering.
Your turning - you as fast as you'd like to go,
I believe. Good thing we put on these - the
helmet and the goggles. The goggles really help
you; l_rtieularly the observer. He quite
frequently getl zapped qith hydrogen, boy. ffe's
gonna give you a data mark. He's at the proper
place. Here he comes ; he starting around the
locker.

239 22 55 03 CDR Going around smoothly. Keeping a good distance

from the locker. He's perpendicular to the

It Just blew off. I was Just going to put it
back on. He's now giving me a data mark. He's
at the final ring locker. He'll be returning
to the station.

239 22 57 21 CDR Still got about 200 pounds. That was a good run.
Oh, why don't you deside what you'd like to fly.
Want to give you a t_hle? Huh? Want to fly one
in RATE GYR0 or what?

PLT ...

CDR You - Okay, that's a good idea. He's gonna fly

backwards. Give them a data mark when he changes
his thing. I'll put you on 2. Okay he's gonna
fly the baseline maneuver backwards, l've given
- uh -l've moved the data flag - the I.D. flag
to 2 and flag data, I went to 2. That way,
maybe he'll -

239 22 58 16 CDR DATA MARK he's starting out.

PLT ...

CDR Urn-huh. I think these thrusters would disturb

an attibude system of a MOL satellite. And - I'm
guessing that- uh - if we're gonna on small
satellites, we're gonna end up having to have
the foreward - fireing thrusters not fire
straight foreward, but fire sort of out at an
an@le. Or else we're going to have to be very
careful to apnroach and then come up; something
like that. I guess the real danger would
probably not from you disturbing it it, it's gonna
tend to resist, and it's gonna have rocket
motors on it to resist. But it could fire at you
and burn your suit. So - uh - certainly it's a
consideration in approaching unfamiliar
satellite.

239 23 01 13 CDR Very smooth. When he fires those short Jets,

it is difficult to tell what ... he puts them
in because ... doesn't change that much ... right
now, he's putting thruster .... maneuver.

He's slipped a bit foreward on the saddle. I get

the impression that - uh = the saddle needs to
be a little bit longer. Padded it, of course,
today. But it needs to be even more padded than
that. Now he's Just flying around and looks like
he is approaching the _4U-2 inverted. He's
inverted the J-2 maneuver.

CDR Now he's coming Just right the right attitude, the
right height - FMU-2, he's Just gonna fly around
there.

PLT ...

CDR Now he gives a mark. He's headed up there, to

the banjo.

CDR Didn't give him a data mark; he's not giving any
more out.

CDR You running out of gas? Running out of gas, ...

- isthatit?

- _LT ...

CDR Yeah. You're running out of gas. It's io_; - It

was low ... Everything's okay. I'll spin you
around and you can guide yourself into the station.
The ease with which I move him. His tota3 weight
must be near to 5 or 600 pounds and yet I'm Just
directing quite easily.

CC Be advised, the ... S063 ... for your ops tonight

is on board_ in the teleprinter. And ve'r_
sitting here fascinated, watching your TV from -
I guess it was yesterday, on the - uh - bubble
demonstration. And also, we saw the - uh - spider
on TV also, awhile ago.

239 23 05 41 SPT How did the spide/ come out in the transfer?

CC Looked real good. He looked like he was ...

when you let him out there - let her out there.

one hand. Wait a sedond, I've got to get off these
arras °

CC The - uh - bubble demonstration, also, is quite

interesting to us.

SPT Actually, I can do better. I've figured out a

way now to get a bigger bubble using a large
hypodermis with a needle on the end so that it
will not run around the edge .... see if we can't
get a bigger water bubble.

239 23 06 23 CC I understand. Looks like one of the problems

was trying to get the bubble disassociated from
the ...

239 23 06 30 SPT Yeah, that's true. And that, ... gets wet then
it keeps running down the side of the straw
instead of sticking to the end of it.

he's - uh - managing quite well. We wear goggles
in here for this operation because ... has been

floating attitude. Uh - guess they wish they had
one of these in 20001. Okay. Thank you. Nice
going. I feel as though I've been rescued. Okay,
now - uh - we can do the same things as we did
before direct but - uh - maybe there'd be some-
thing that would be more interesting to the
space -, space fans out there, Orville.

down here, is to take a hold of this - uh -
oxygen pack and rotate it in a very slow
manner, and see if - uh - AI can match it's
rotation. How would you like that, roll
or a pitch? Okay, let's try it this way.
How about that fast? Okay, we'll do it
about that fast.

239 22 19 57 PLT Okay, there it is. It's rotating. He's

going to try to ro - Okay, I'm going to

make him move. It probably is when he
hits it.

239 22 20 08 PLT It's rotating. He's flying up to it. He's

got nice attitude there. Now he's gonna
try to match its rotation rate as much as
he would in a formation flying with an

240 00 47 58 CDR Okay, this is the CDR, and this information
is for the 509 interested individuals, some
people like Bruce McCandless - uh - Ed Whitsett
Lou Rsmon. I'm going to defrief the 509
run today, and I'm gonna use Just the checklist
that you sent up. Incidentally, I th$ught
that was well done. It allowed us to- - uh -
to get on with the pro@Tam instead of trying
to figure out how to -uh - get it implemented
into the checklist. We Just pasted it over
rough 1 and - uh - Just did it. Jack read _t
and I did it, and then he read the next one and
I did the next one. An excellent - uh -
write up good team. By the way, I want to
mention one thing else about this run. One
of the things that I found distasteful in
a way about 509 is that you do the same thing
over and over and over and over again. You
fly the baseline maneuver a bunch of times
on some runs - uh - my suggestion would
be - uh - something similar to this. I
flew the basline maneuver twice and - uh -
then dld a b1_n_h of o_ _q,!e tb!n_z. It
seems to me that's wehat you could do for
Jerry. Count on a few more runs with him
and then don't shave so many haslines at
him all at once. Do a maximum of three and
then quit that sort of thing, and do some
- uh - crewman rescue, and - uh - some flying
upside down or - uh - tumble recoveries and
try to - uh - give a little more variety to
it. It - it makes it a lot better and I
think the data is much more - uh - meaning
ful, too.

240 00 _9 21 CDR Okay, let's Just start right at the first.

CG off set - uh - w - I put the - uh - SOP
down in my - uh - ankles, tied it on tight,
I honestly couldn't tell the dirfference that
it was there. Now I suspect that you'll be
able to by - uh - thrusters that fired as a
result of certain maneuvers hut - uh - it -
it didn't have any effect on - uh - the operator
DIRECT was Just as easy to fly as it ever
was, and the others were - uh - uh - uh -
Think that's all I did fly wasn't it, DIRECT?
 D_mp Tape 240-01
Page 2 of 21

No sweat, it was a nothin. Oh - you couldn't

tell it - uh - because you don't - uh - pay
that much attention, you put it in the
control, if you need another one you put it in;
_fou don't have to think about it. That's
what makes (cough) DIRECT such a good mode,
you Just fly it as youneed it. Touch and go.
Funny, I've changed my opinion of touch and
go. Since there's no maneuver here, hardly,
that you don't either have to stop - Well,
let me give you an example, you're going
to the banjo and then somewhere else. You
got to stop at the banjo Just to
- Just stop. And - uh - since your rates
aren't very much anyhow - uh - It's almost
like a touch and go with Just a regular
maneuver. You got to stop at FMU 2 because
you're on your side going one direction; you
got to end up going up the other so you end
up stopping. And same way with - uh - 40h and
4 - uh - 32 - uh - lockers. You don't - uh -

_. you have to stop that direction, so the touch

and go really doesn't apply, in a way. I
mean you can Co it, but i_m not sure tna_ 1_'s
going to show you much different in the way
of - of data. You can fly this thing as tight
as you want her or as loose as you rant. It
evidenced by the fact - when you wanted me go to
the center of thr workshop and stop all ...
I went there and stopped and I didn't hardly
move for 6, 7 minutes. But anyhow, let's
go on. Oh - I flew it in rate gyro and it
- uh - ... MY feeling would be that - that
that maneuver ought to be replaced by - uh -
some other maneuver that - that uh - uh -
I mean sc_e other criteria that you have. It
Just isn;t that much different.

240 O0 51 27 CDR Tumble recovery - tried those. Tumble recovery

was a little harder than I thought it was going
to be, not because - uh - the thrusters didn't
have the authority that I thought they did,
but because you got a small space in - in
this vehicle with this rounded domw =-
somethimes you think you're rotating, and
you're really translating. So maybe if you
_ analze some how those thruster inputs I made -
or hand controller inputs, I might of made so_e
t ,

Dump Tape 240-01

Page 3 of 21

that weren't really useful. I finally heat

the system simply by hand controlling to my
rates of stop and then used my translational
controller to stop translation. In any event,
it wasn't difficult; very simple. Now one
thing that puzzled me a bit, I thought that
I'd have a very difficult time with the HHMU
in tumble recovery. And so I asked Jack to
give me smaller rotations, which he did.
You'll probably - you'll see that on the film.
But I had no trouble at all, in - uh - the
unsuited mode. You know it's easy to fly
that thing in the unsuited mode. As you
probably can see on TV, I stopped it, I
flew back to where he was - uh - held
attitude. You know the hard part about the
BI{MU is holding precise attitude. And if
you Just let yourself flop around like you
do when you're trying to stop tumble recovery,
in other words, Just stop a general uncontrolled
_ operationit's sor_ of simple. And if you want
to get somewhere and not fly very precisely,

fly your front of your - right quarter your -

you know, towards your right hand sort of .
You can - you can get anywhere you want.

2h0 00 52 53 CDE I wouldn't want to take it outside, don't

ge me wrong, but it's not that difficult
unsuited. Suited is a different story.
For the reason, you can't move your hand,
and for the other reasons that it ... off
your suit. So tumble maneuvers were - were
kind of interesting.

240 00 53 08 CDR Tracking CMG - uh - CMGs were not up to

speed when we started again so I did a rate
gyro maneuver first. And I wasn't really
paying attention, I let my attitude drift
towards the end. So Y did the CMG back
an_, then the rate gyro back again. And - uh -
no trouble - it were - they were wasy and may-
be you'll get the ... there, I - I don't
know. Drift checks - I thou@ht they were
interesting in that the CMGs held pretty
_ good, but the rate gyros fired slot. In
fact, I'd tend to kind of doze off for a minute
or two and all of a sudden one of them would fire
an_ it Jerked me out of there - wake me up.

240 O0 53 41 CC Skylab, Houston, we're AOS at Honeysuckle for

about a miunte and a half. Then - uh - CDR,
to Houston.

CDR I'ii be off the comm for a minute.

240 00 56 29 CDR Okay, back on channel A. We're still talking

about M509. Uh - uh - no more remarks. I'ii
tell you one thing happened. I can't re -
I don't think it was this _maneuver but
another maneuver, I sneezed, and boy did the
rate gyro fire - attitude - uh - thrusters.
I think that's been the most it's fired as
a result of any single thing I've done up
here. l've held on to the handrails in rate
gyro and as long as l'm very careful, nothing
fired. Same- thing with CMGs and - uh - boy
when I sneezed it really set that thing off.
By the way, I found that if you're Just careful
and use a light touch, you can hold on when you'r
in CMG mode, you can - uh - hold on when you're
- uh - in rate gyro mode; it doesn't seem to
bother it. But I prefer - uh - DIRECT because
then when you get there you Just grab
and move around and nothing happens.
Then when you get ready to go, you
kind of shove off and you do direct to - uh 0
work properly.

240 00 57 27 CDR By the way, I gave you an extra minute of

that - uh - limih cycle because I was
drifting downward to begin with so I
fired an up at about one minute. So
then I let it drift - uh - so you got
a full period there, I tb_n_. Head
movements - as I can see they had
no e - no effect. I moved em - fast,
slow and everythirg else and nothing
happened, that I could see. Fireman
pole set- up was easy. Now - uh - I
may have cheated here and didn't mean
to, because I think this is how you'd
work out - I flew up there with a pole
and then when I got there I reached
up with my hand to connect it.

240 00 58 01 CDR Now hen I was working in the CMG MODE, I

went ahead and left it in CMG. I knew that
wasn't right, and - But I thought maybe
that's what you wanted me to do, because
naturally you'd switch to DIRECT while
you're there - you only use this thing
to get there. And - uh - of course
when I did it DIRECT there was no problem.
But you may notice firings during CMG
mode holding on when I was connecting and
that's on on purpose, because I thought
maybe that's what you were interested
in. Easy Job, no sweat. I went over
and grabbed Jack for TV, that's easy,
it fires a little bit, much easier than
- uh - CMG cause you don't have to
hod attitude as you fly along with him.
But I tried it direct later, and of
course that was simple too. Direct
is becoming more and more obvious how -
how much superior it is to - to the other
_" modes as far - uh - ease of - uh - gas
saving and for ... of _ettin_ around, as
far as the fact that you don't have
to do anything when you get to a place and
want to hold on _ud - It Just has all
sorts of advantages. I'm - I'm - I'm
moving it up even higher than I have been,
to tell you the hruth, as far as desirability.

240 O0 59 06 CDR Uh - which tumble object received - now

that was an interesting one. Because - uh -
it turned out that we used the SOP, we didn't
want to have the 52 film out, it's pretty
valuable stuff now. We got a couple hundred
hours invested in it and - uh - here's
no way to make it up - A couple of flares
and things on there and - uh - coronal
transients and things. So - uh - what
we did was use the SOP. And one thing I
found out with that light object, when
you - when you - when you try to go up
near it it brakes so you can rest near it
- it kicks it away with thrusters. And
what we're going to have to do, if that's
a plan someday,is eitherto maneuver
under it and then come up or over it
and come down or something to that effect.
/

Page 6 of 21

Or even - uh - better might be to o•. the

thrusters slightly so that you can come
right up to an object _ud the thrusters
would fire beside it. _, on second
thought, I don't like that because
you'd never know how big the object
would have to be to - to fit the situation.
I think you could learn to maneuver up
to it, it might be an interesting thing
for Jerry to practice. Or if we run 509
again, which I wouldn't mind a bit, I
wouldn't mind having Jack run a three
•.. if he could get it.

240 01 00 l0 CDR He's - uh - he flew that thing awfully

well today and I think if - uh - if he
flew it for you a couple more times,
you could get some excellent data.

240 01 00 18 CDR He's - uh - got a lot of skill and

he knows all the different techniques.
Uh - I really think that would be a

can do. By the way the - uh - One of

the questions you asked was about the
padding on -'uh - uh - the seat• We
put some Mozite on there today, and I
think it's enough. If not, I'll put
a little bit more on there. New straps -
I - I think you o_ght to invent a set of new
straps for Jerry - uh - to learn to
build some that are - that are - uh -
not Just ... for a mameuvering unit.
Now if you don't to do that because
of weight, cost and hte like, go
ahead and use these' they're satisfactory.
But it seems to me that's one of the
- uh - th - one of the things you
ought to improve. My recomendation
would be ( cough ) invent a new
system of straps - have him come up
here and put them on. Let him fly
'em see if we can build some good ones,
this is a cluge that works. But we ought
to - you ought - It seems to me that
_ that's one of the problems• We all have
used the soft ear plugs every time; plenty
of 'em left.

240 Ol 01 19 CDE Uh - I think l've answered the

questions you sent up, I believe. Okay,
uh - So anyhow then I tried to match
the rotational rate of the object, it
was tumbling too fast and I kicked it
away. But for a satellite, I believe
you cluld easily do it. And if not,
you could rch out and grab it and let
it turn you, or you could - uh - you could
- uh - grab it and hold attitude, either
way. But satellites are bigger and - I
don't think you're going to have any
problem. Seems to me that that was
a - that was a good test. But - uh -
I don't know. I went around and
- uh - Couldn't change light
bulbs the light bulbs are hard
to get out here even when yot_r not in
a m_ueuvering unit. So I Jsut moved
the fan, quite easy. This m-neuver
unft is real fine for getting around.
We did the ... here. We didn't
dO the circular inspectinn_ _a _+_
It seemed too simple and all of that - that
sort of thing - like the roll was - I
don't think it does much to help you a
whole - if it does, well then we'll
do it next time and - and ask Jerry to do
it.

240 01 02 21 CDR Fly head first to the Donning Station.

Uh - I Just flew to the Donn - uh - stopped I
I've flown it in backwards, forwards and -
uh - I don't know.

it easily; didnt do _t - it's - Move MPTSS around;
did that just to s-_e- as you cem see it's easy
• and quite simple. The Poly long tether strap -
I should have done that, I didn't read that; that
would have been a good thing to do. If we fly it
again, we'll deploy a long tether, and - uh -
This inverted convex flyaround - I wanted to give
Jack some time, so we gave it to him. He flew
it well. He might have some things, I'll ask
him to drbrief it, but essentially that was a
good run. We ought to think about flying Jack,
if we can. I'm not sure we shouldn't think about
giving Owen one ride.

240 Ol 03 07 CDR For the simple reason that he hasn't

trained on it at all. He knows how to
fly airplanes and spacecrafts and we
ought to try out and see how a guy
does fresh in this unit. I guess
he'll fly it like - uh - he knows
what he 's doing. In fact, I 'm not sure
that maybe what we - shouldn't do,
instead of flying Jack, we should get
one more - two more - we should get
2 flights. The first one should be
to fly 0wen. Get him to fly all these
m_neuvers - Cold, in direct, rate gyro
and CMG. I think that would he one
of the best things you could do. And
next, we get - uiu - Jack to fly
and - uh I think _u'd get some real
good data. Both of those to me are -
are useful things. We have the time up
here. We're looking around for things

cellent data. It would also show you
what differe__._ __r._ that uh

simulator up at Martin makes ; my
guess is not much. And it would give yo
a piece of real data to show what
that simulator is worth instead of
all of our guesses about it.

not academic. There were good, and

first push-off of the data run. So

I'll call you a_ Bermuda.

more than 10 killometers from the correct

and hit those solar panels. When

it hits the solar panels, we're
_ust about out of business. Scatters
too much light inside the AMS. That's
something that you all can put on the
pad, or work out before you send the
pad up. And unless you're pretty
confident of getting something, I think
it'd probably be better to leave off -
Oh, oh, there comes the Sun. Sun is on the
arrays right now. And I can see the
light in the - uh - AMS structure itself.

2_0 02 08 19 SPT And when the horizon moves, as I

change the rotation on the AMS, I can
then see the hand. But when it's
stable, you don't see the movement. It's
very difficult to follow and -_e sure
you're actually on an horizon. We've

240 02 12 51 SPT End of exposure. Okay, that c_pletes

the run. Now, there is no indication,
as far as I can tell visually that
airglow is any brighter as we approach
sunrise or as we depart sunset. And
so these shorter exposure are pres,,_ble,
not much difference to the intensity of
the airglow there, although, there is certainly
a lot of light scattering in from
the solar array. And so, its my
recommendation that you eliminate any
sightings that are made when the
spacecraft is ill,_nated by the Su_.
Because, the solar array is sitting out
here Just a matter of 5 degrees or so.

2_0 02 12 31 SPT The end of the array is not more t_n

5 degrees off the centerline of this
telescope. And the solar aray is like the
some holes and slits - slots in it, and it
f-- Just scatters ,11 sorts of light into
the AMS. So, I would not rely on any of

wasting film, you'd probably ought to

eliminate them under those circumstances.
So, aside from _hat, once again I think
this run went _:11, and I'd appreciate
any comments you would have about the
stability, and any other comments relative
to the way the run was performed. This
message goes to the PIs of S063 and to
Wally Teague and Jack Lew.

240 02 13 16 SPT End of message frc_a the SPT.

240 02 1_ 40 SPT And there is one more comment to be

made relative to S063. This is the
SPT again. Please add it onto my last
sot of information - that's the number
of frames r_-_ning. There are 12, 12 frames
remaining in Nikon 02, on PD 14
cassette at the end of today's operation.
That concludes the one first run of the
_11 f. - to a large F stop, _,alX
operture setting. We'd have to call a
_ practice run, I hope. I posted two
good runs this evening. I assume that
they're good. And I have no reason to
believe that they didn't come out well.

2_0 02 20 5_ PI_T Good evening, space fans. This is

,Jack. on channel A. The subject is
ATM. Debriefing for the lost run,
which was beginning at 00:ST. I ran
off your J0P 6, step 1, building
blocks 1A and 1B, and you didn't _111
that rev up very yell, because I had
a lot of time left over. And so I
went htmting around for a - a_rthing ...

2k0 02 21 19 PLT Started out by whistling past s_e of the

active regions and out to the limb. I thought
l @ould do some shopping list items
and started picking an the limb. I tried
the vest limb because, from the x_r
monitor, that looked like it'd he the
most interesting. And when I got
over there, I didn't find any significant
/__ prominences, _lthough I did find so_ethtJlg
that appeared unusual to ms, and so I

2b.O 02 21 1;.5 PLT I noticed - in %he limb hrigtening area

on H-Alpha or in the space - boundaz_
between the inner limb and the outer
limb, I noticed - uh - tow - %th - hot
spots, "_o very bright points, Or two
relative_r bright points an_ay, in H-
Alpha. And they were right next to each
other. And - uh - I - oh - had never seen
this before and, in fact, hadn't
heard anything about them. So, I komed
in on them _th - oh - uh - a m_er 1
_tect, Or - uh - _th grating _ zeroes.
And found out that, in fact, it was a
bright hot spot, and it wa_'t very big,
but I m able to-oh -to-oh -
sight in on it. And Z noticed Chat the
- uh - difTerence in magnitude vas -
s_r, on the oFder of a factor of 20 cr
30 measures and - uh -. Just - .h -
the limb or Just off the 14_b.

2_0 02 22 _3 PLT And - uh - so - uh - I d_d a modified

- _h - shogping l_st item on that. I
did an active 1 long for _ and - uh -
 Dump Tape 240-01
Page 21 of 21

I did a grating auto scan on detector I.

And then I also did a - uh - a mirror line
scan at the grating position 1941.
I left 82B out of this because I got
the impression they're trying to save
a little film. Although they may have
been interested, I felt that they
probably would rather save the film.
And - uh - if that's not the case,
they better let us know.

240 02 23 20 PLT Dh - the exae_ point was as follows. The

roll was m!nus _200. It was up, a plus 735,
and a left, m_.us 610.

2_0 02 23 31 PLT So I had a little time left over after

that and I whistled down to - -

240 0_ 23 42 PLT - - and homed in on that, too, with

about the s--_ - uh - strategy. The
hot spot was right near the - uh -
_ the - uh - two _Ii spots in the - uh -
in the plage - uh - in the two - two
black spots in the plage.

240 02 23 59 PLT And - uh - and - uh - I got a reading

240 12 27 45 SPT Okay. SPT on channel A, debriefing

the last ATM pass, which ended
about -uh - 12:27 Zulu. The
scheduled work went off as planned.
Added about an extra l0 minutes
on the end, and so I _id a item num-
ber 8, on a bright spot, on a ...
by spot. And I'm too far away from
the filament we were working on.
Quite bright in - uh - XUV, and a lot
of contrasty on - uh - X3 grating 0.
And - uh - completed the ... auto scan,
and then did a sort of a manual mini
raster utilizing mirror line scanner -
Ended Jumping up and down. And it
also did have a double peak. There was
another - uh - bright spot Just to the -
uh - ... position of the one on which I
did a grating auto scanner - comparable
intensity. So - uh - you should see
that double peak in the mini raster.
Looked like there was about l0 arec
• seconds - uh - above the one on which
I Just did the _ratin_ auto scan. That
was an item 8. Lookedlike it oughtto
be a fairly interesting one. It took one
HUV exposure, ... and several single
frames for S056.

I noticed that - uh - you
did not specify which - uh -
film magazine you wanted on the pad
and so I picked the one with the

serial n,,m_er 3. Although I

hope in the future that -
uh - you include that information
on the pad so they'll be no question
about it and he sure to get the -

2hO IB 5h 51 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack

again on channel A. The subject
this morning is - uh - mass
measuring device calibration in
the wardroom. Since I didn't
complete the Job the last time,
I started all over and did
it again. This is day 240,
the start time was 14:10; the
temperature initially was - uh -
70 degrees, reading i0 degrees
on the - uh - mass measuring
device. Here are the D11mhers.
I'll - uh - read the first
three numbers only once in each
sequence. And after that,
I'll Just read the last three D,,mhers.
So ... zero gr_ are empty,
the measuring device read as
follows: 1.95621, 605, 615, 590,
615, 615, 579, 658, 630 and 61.5.
Okay. The next raeasurement we'll -
_- we'll do it with 50 grams. Reading
_s follows: 0.3225, 233, 2hl, 218,
233, 257, 24h, 215, 155, 4276.
Okay, I pitt i00 gr-m_ on and
got this - -

2hO 14 56 ]-I FLT 2.10556, 577, 59h, 657, 983,

629, 529, 608, 619 and 576. I
added 150 grams total: 2.17697,
727, 696, 775, 719, 781, 722, 691,
695, 720. Took that off
. and put 250 gram3 on: 231268,
229, 277, 270, 239, 267, 323, 311,
2h3 and 268. Took that off
and put 350 gram_ on, and I got:
2.h4044, 053, 089, 124, 063,
098, 105, 125, and o96 and 069.
Ok_7. Ten with 500 grams it
_: 2.62096, 140, 135, 123,
165, 132, 169, 142, 134, and 249.
Now with 750 grams I got :
2.89860, 884, 830, 825, 865,
865, 804, 865, 838 and 833. With
 Tape 240-06

900 grams I got:

3.05102, 094, 055, 178, 098, 130,
110, 107, 093, 084. Then I ...
and got: 1.95562, 577, 573, 586,
571, 578, 589, 597, 584, 579.
I believe this is the only use
that the measuring device has
gotten since the last calibration
except for a TV show.

240 14 59 12 PLT This concludes the - uh - mass

measuring device calibration
from the wardroom. End of

it'd be like - uh - two step l's except
on two different spots, because it didn't
look to me like the data was gonna
be any differnt - uh - you couldn't

through a short exposure, more or less
gave it a small amount of rotation.
Just about a cop of what as it had

anytime you put your eye to the cup

240 15 58 43 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack

o channel A, - uh - debriefing
the M31 - M131 - OGI rttu which
I - uh - Just made up; includes
the biomed folds and Doctor
Jerry Homick, predominat ely. And
- uh - I think - uh - I'll make this
observation, Jerry. I really
didn't see the little line move
around in any unusual manner. I felt
tha I was more sensitive this morning
to the lower rpms and - uh - the
data comfirms this. As time went
on I got drowzier and I started
missing them around the 8 - uh -
rpm - apper 8 level at any rate is
what I mean. Uh - I think - uh -
it's an advantage to do this experiment
in the morning when - uh - your're
less drowzy. Uh - After lunch is the
sleepy hour, not only uh - on Earth

but up here as well. And I thinkyou

don't - your senses go to sleep as
w_ll. includin_ your vestibular ones.

240 15 59 51 PLT I noticed that as I progressed into

run this morning that I became
more drowzy and - not as drowzy as
soon and as much as I am in the
afternooon when I do this, but
I think that - uh - I was quite
sensitive when I first got in the
chair, simply because I wasn't wide awake.
And - uh - I'd suggest that this
makes a difference - that you try
to schedule theze runs in the
morning instead of the afternooon.
My impression from what -what I've
seen is that as you get drewzy and
start to go to sleep, why your
ability to recognize rotation or
a thinkg in motion in the - uh - in
the OGI and goggles - uh - diminishes.
The - uh - two facts that may be
related may be included in your
data somewhere and it might be well
 Dump Tape 240-09
Page 2 of 4

to - uh - to - uh - have this kind

of data at different times furing
the day. So this - uh - I have no
other sensations or - uh - feelings that
are significant.

2_0 16 53 19 SPT Okay, this is a message from the SPT

to Dr. Paul Buchanan - the biomed
people who are interested in the onboard
drugs. Uh - I've completed action
on your message 303h, entitled
IMSS drugs and note the following
discrepancies of differences from
the message. Collecting the SL-2
drugs from the topical drawer and
the next two drs_ers, I cannot find
_ s_lyscopolaminedrops or dexidrene.
I collected all of the rest - uh -
with exceptions denoted. I left the
- uh - ampicillin, and Dalmane,
erythromycin, tetracycline, chloral
hydrate - uh - Sulfamylon, and Synalar.
And I, of course, could not collect
the ones I Just - uh - could - uh -
did not find the two things I Just
mentioned. From the injectibles, I
did connect - collect the epinephrine
and Decadron. I did not see any labels
on i0 percent or 1 percent but I
connected - collected all of the
epiniphrine. I did not find any
g/ueose. Wow that may have been my
mistake there. I could - if I went
back I could perhaps find that. But
I didn't see any glucose. And I did
find the six Ledocaine injectors in
the dental kit and those were all
collected. And I tried to - I fill
up as much as I could in can 706.
There was a note to put some stuff
in 1037 but - uh - excuse me, I'd ...
I put the drugs in can 103h, which
was empty_ hut there was no extra
room in 1037 at all. So with the
 b k

Dump Tape 240-09

Page B of

extra drugs which were collected q

and there were a substantial number, I
put them canister B of the two
cans that we brought up in our
comnand module. I then deployed
eonistera A and B and put everything
in their appropriate slots. And
then in that empty can A I put the rest of
the stuff l'd collected from SL-2.

240 16 55 46 SFT Now, there was qu_te a hit - uh -

more collected than there was reinserted,
particularly in the areas of the topical
drugs. But I understand you
aware of - uh - all that was
brought up and how much Joe deployed
I don't know, - f_om his stuff -
apparaently he deployed more - uh -
...._ than we brought up because - uh -
there were a number of drugs that I
coii_cL_d _h_L I did net ha_ avaio_!_
for replacement. Now, one of the
things that - uh - that I didn't
bring up was Alpha K eri lotion.
There were two little - uh - bottles
of it. The tops on both of these
bottles were cracked, broken the.
The Alpha Keri lotion was therefore
distributed rather generously around
the rest of the can. And so that's
one thing that's missing from the
topical drug in the Alpha Keri, as I
put the two bottles, wrapped 'em up
in - uh - uh - wipes and tried to
clean the rest of the stuff up as
best I could. But - uh - we have
no extra Alpha Keri lotion other
than the two that were broken. So
you probably ought to be smre and get
a little - uh - hit more up on SL-h.
Now, this extra canister A, with the
SL-2 collected drugs, I'm Just
gonna leave over here in 732. Actually
locker 732 until I - uh - get some
further advice from you about a more
appropriate location. And I believe
that completes all the action on
your message. And I would appreciate

2_0 18 16 00 CDR This is the CDR recording the results of

the attempt to take a picutre of the Gran
Chaco swamp in Paraguay. The weather _s good.
I could see every ... way. We could see the
coast of South _erica. But this place is
out in the middle of nowhere and we don't
know when you're there or not. There's no - Ith -
lakes or anything nearby that you can find -
that you can pinpoint. There's a city and roads,
but I wasn't able, with the limited view I
had out window number _, which was the window
that faced it, to really - uh - do a - a
reasonable Job. Now that I'm looking out the
wardroom window, I realize the wardroom window
would have been the best place to do it. Uh -
I didn't get any pad or anything today. I
assumed that I wo_Id get a pad that gave me
the details of whihe window, exact time, the
loss of signal, and the aeq of signal. I th_-_
we need that. I didn't get one, however.
And I - maybe that would have helped. We sure
ought to have it _nyw_y.

_.^ _a _ !l _ _,÷ +h_ _,_1_ r_t n_ the matter is. I honestly

didn't feel that I could have found - uh - the
target as it wes. The feelings that I had was,
if you don't have a good site nearly to locate
with, you're Just gonna have to go on time and
general area because you don't - you don't
know exactly whe_oe you are. I took a couple of
pictures, one with the Hasselblad and on with
the 500 on the area that I believed to be it.
But I have no way to be able to prove it.
It seems to me that this points out several th_n_s.
One of the first, most important is, if we're
gonna have to come up with a little sighting
device that we can put at an angle at a time -
it's a time aetu_11y, and you can set it up and
then at a certain time it will track and you
can look out there much the same as we track
!--_-_ks from the C_4C. That's the only way
I think we can rem lly find things like airfields
and - uh - specific cities and the like in the
middle of nowhere. If it's somthing _ course,
than you can find it. But we ought to have the
capabitity to find - uh - sites daytime, in
through clouds and everything. It seems to me
we could invent a sort of device that would fit
in a window. You could fit it in as a mounted
 Dump Tape 240-11
/__ Page 2 of i0

window frame, set the following angles, at this

time go to start with this image motion, sort
of like the - uh - _-ge motion we have in the
sight of the _EP. Then, we wouldn't, you know -
a mechanical thing and then you could look out
through it and say "Oh, yeah; there it is. That's
the city they wanted. Looks like those other
i0, but now that I know that's the one, I'll
t-kp a nice picture of it. "

2_0 18 18 53 CDR Also, when it's cloudy, it would allow you to look
through the right holes in the clouds to find
it. ill all out the window is poor. And we found
that to be tl--'e in airplanes. If you are flying on
airplane, you can get a gOOd. _mning angle. You
can pick a point over a river and run in a certain
number of seconds. Here you're sort of out
of luck. And you take comes ... you're a lot
farther away. That would be my biggest o
observation. Uh - Vegetation systems, vegetation
type. Yon can't tell tall grass up here. You
can't even tell trees. All we know is the 1=-d's
either - uh - ss_:dy colored, or it's _ter, or
it's - uh - bro_ river volor, or it's - real
Ereen would make you th_nk it's green. But
i_ uoulE be sw_ps or l_s brown, which uouid
be trees , or sand, or swamp. But you don't
see anything tha'_ tells you trees, or tall
grass, or ... ar anything like that. _C_me of the
trees Just don't show up. Yon don't know what it
is down there. Yon Just know it's a different
color. Texture is great, if you see no objects as
such.

2_0 18 20 06 CDR Tn_tially locate areas of settlements. We can

do that. NOW if I could have found the swamps
perhaps I could have done ... that pretty tall
order because there's probably a lot around.

240 18 20 18 CDR Nature settlements, developed areas. That's

a comfort. I think maybe for these sorts of
th_ngs that in orbital operation you know where
to point to. - uh - A Polaroid-type th_,_.
You take the picture ... Polaroid out next
time and take a picture of these doggone places
and look at them and then describe them to you.
Now l think maybe that'll be the _y we'd have to
do it. Take the picture, try to get the right
place, and then look at the picture in your own
leisure and describe it. Maybe we could come
up with some domn expert pics for that Polaroid
if that works - uh - I'm gonna suggest that for
Jerry Cart' s flight here ...

240 18 20 58 CDR Describe visible means of transportation. Forget

it. I don't have time to do that. If - l'd
like to but everything goes by pretty quick
and most of the time you're trying to figure
out if that's the right place. If I knew it
was the right place, then I could spend my
time doing this other.

240 18 21 14 CDR Describe ... water system - samething. In other

words, I could considered that I did this poorly,
if at all, and I'm not sure I could do it any
better. We've got to have something up here that
allows us to find the spot, and indeed, once we
found it, then we could concentrate on doing
all these other things. Unless it's something
that's like a big area. If I can locate and
photograph lakes ... - uh - ..., I'm pretty
Sure I could find something like that. Or
locate Salt Lake City - that's great. When
you're talking about locating a little bitty city
out in the middle of%he Jungle, it's a different
story. But we ought to have the capability.
So several things. One, you can't tell grasses

that we could point at the right place. Third,

we ought to have some means of taking a picture
where we can study it out more and report
to you.

deb/iefing the last ATM run which began at
10:]o6. We did the - _h - job 6 - uh - step 2
Building Block 2, no problem. And the rest of
it was of observing time and - uh - I picked
off a shopping list item through which - uh -
number one priority, according to this morning's
list. Uh - bright spot number 8. I found
a bright spot at - uh - 4/100 of a roll, minus
4200, down 65. and right plus 646. I - uh -
maxed my - uh - detector 3 on - uh - the
at ]9:41. Got a - uh - good signature. A very
_I1 pinpoint of light was at - uh - close to
minus - uh - a few arc seconds - uh - up/down,
left/right seemed to make quite a bit of
difference. So - uh - the - uh - density - uh -
Changed by of - uh - of - uh - i0 or 20, more
like 20, I guess. When I - uh - maximized
detector three, it that location I ran off a
_ building block 8 - correctionstep 8 - shopping
" list item 8, using - and - uh - for $056, I got

and five long. I did - a - 240 second - uh -

wave short at the XUV exposure. And I did a
grating auto scar at - uh - detector one and
- uh - then I did 6 by 6 mini-auto raster. I
hope that's big enough, grating ell balls. I
then moved left 10 arc seconds of that spot and
I - uh - effectively - uh - did the exact same
thing and - with the exception of at the end o _
the mlni-auto raster I - uh - had a couple of
minutes of - uh - daylight left before ESS - so
I - uh - Just ran a - uh - line, scan ell
detectors at slit center. So - uh - one other
item I ought to m*_ntion that I - uh - was unable

240 22 15 13 PLT Hello, space fans. This is Jack on

channel A, and the subject is T002.
This goes to Bob Nocite. It concerns the - uh -
the thirs statimeter. I made some - uh -
stadimeter orbital sightings at night
- uh - Just for the heck of it. The
day was 240, the Greenwich time was
- uh - 22:00 to 22:10. I had the 0 uh
airglow sehecule horizon -uh - there's
what I got. I got 15 readings you can
conpare with whatever else you've got.
At 3.492, 3.456, 3.512, 3.566, 3.5573,
3.596, 3.621, 3.502, 3.532, 3.471,
3.506, 3.627, 3.598, 3.515, 3.488. I
repeat again that these were - uh -
taken at night and - uh - I'd like you
to compare them with the other nnmhers
to - uh - see if the night airglow
horizon is any good to use for - uh -
stadimeter sightings - uh - as opposed
to use in the daylight horazon - horizon
all the time.

doing operations - uh - at night, out
the window - uh - with the stadimeter as
sexlant is - uh - when I read the nnmbers
off - uh - with a flashlight, keep the right
eye or the viewing eye shut. In that
way your in night adaption isn't - uh -
messed up - uh - when the light comes on.
So - uh - that was just done for the heck of
it for interest. And I'd like to - uh -
hear - uh - how it comes out. I say
again this goes to Bob nuteg nuts.
Thank you.

240 22 18 i0 PLT Hello, space fans. This is Jack on

channel A debriefing the last ATM run,
which started at 20:58. I - uh - put
into your coordinates of roll 3600,
950, and - uh - zero and - uh - decided,
Dump Tape 240-13
Page 2 of 2

maybe, I'd roll a little bit more to - uh -

g_ some better spienles in the field of
%-'±ew. So I rolled to - uh - 3737, went
up to 7 across the limb and - uh -
rast -mirror auto Waster in - uh -
building block - uh - 18 and then another
building block 10. So the only difference
or modification I made was - uh - to - uh -
roll Just a little bit further. And - uh -
I noticed that - uh - raster there was an
active region which I - uh - hope doesn't
mess up the data. Probably won't but - uh -
the - ... spicules are a little better in
that area. Uh - they were - uh - where the
view in that were a little higher than others
and - uh - seems to be - uh - just a better
_Lace for spicules on the - uh - place to
_raw lines.

239 22 19 19 PLT And - uh - so I need the same pointing for

the next run on - beginning on 22:26 - uh -
which is gonna be in before you know it and
uh - so I'll see you in a little while.

field 461. And it's frame number 67.
What's your opinion? That's what I'm afraid
of, too. But maybe we can. Maybe they can
figure a way to get it out. I'm afraid it'll
J_m it in there. Let's - let's take a
look at it. Plus we might Just might be
able to grip it. Sure be nice if we
could. Gosh! That thing looks ....

channel A debriefing - uh - 23:59 run.
Uh - went down to active region activate
8 and - uh - set up - uh - uh - uh -
JOP 2, box 71, building block i0, and
the - uh - way I did that was to - uh -
fix the brightest point is the - uh -
plage and home in on it with DETECTOR
number 3 reading all balls and get the
brightest point I could, and then I let
her fly with MIRROR AUGN scan ... auto scan
also get the grating right 000. You
got some grating auto scan on DECTECTOR 1
and - uh - then we went into MIRROR
ALIGN SCAN is 1 LONG and I gave you two of
those at that point. And - uh - I
kept watching in there for kllerman bombs.
And then as you know, I reported it real-
time that - uh - there was a possible
Ellerman bomb ares. There's a spot ...
looks to me as if the complicatedregion
and I believe, uh - appears to have four
or f_v_ _p_t_ _ itr A_ _t appes_s to
be a - uh - bright intrusion on the - uh -
west most, correction, the east most spot
on that active reEion and - uh seems to he
separated all by itself. It was blowing
the fuse and - uh - the picture shows but -
uh - in view of the fact that we haven't
really seen a real Ellerman bomb and - uh
also due to the fact that we've had done
abo[_ enough active 1 longs and - uh -
mirror align, scans, I decided to - uh -
take a flyer at it. And - uh - so I - uh -
ran - uh - one - uh - - uh - building
block correction, J0P 2, golf building

241 12 39 02 PLT Good morning, space fans, this is

Jack on channel A. Here we are
again - uh - working with TO02.
This one is listed as a T002-4
which is substituting for - uh -
6. And - uh - this is one where
we make stadim- stadimeter
sightings and - uh - we're just
going to make continuous sightings
looks like to me and - uh - then
app]_y them to the operational -
uh -- uh - sextant sightings and
uh -.see if we can come up with
some orbital parameters. I'd
like to know sometime if anybody's
calculating any orbital parameters and
positions and see how these things
are working out. So - uh - let
me give you a few marks here in
a minute - uh -scon as I
can kinda get lined up. And -
uh -.we'll procedd with another
set of operational -
uh - 'ID02 sightings.

241 12 40 14 PLT Uh - one horizon is still a little

bit fuzzy. The - uh - sunrise
horizon - uh - isD't completely
well-defined at the moment.
And how much time we got
remaining How much - uh -
daylight remaining, AI?

CDH 38.

PLT Thank you. Okay, he says there's

38 minutes daylight remaining.
And then we got plenty of time
but - uh - I Just want to take
the best horizon here. How that
should good enough to begin.

241 13 19 05 PLT Hello again there, space fans.

This is Jack, the PLT. And
the subject is T002-6 at this
time we're using the sextant.
Aud as soon as it gets dark here.
And I'll tell you what we'll do,
we'll get some of these - uh -
zero bias sightings out of the
way. And - uh - call the temperature
the - uh - sextant 68 degrees at
this time. The diopter
setting is a minus 0.5 which is
where I like it. And - uh - my
stars today are - uh - Fom_!haut
and - uh - Dabih. And - uh -
there's still some light on the -
uh - solar panels and the antenna -
discone antenna which is casting a
light on the window. But - uh -
I think we'll be able to - uh -
do our zero bias sightings. And -
_ uh - the airglowhorizon is starting
to shlow up. So before you know
I_ we'll De in business. And then -
today is something a little bit
different, we're gonna - uh -
lay this star in the airglow
horizon instead of in the - uh - on
the Earth horizon. Gonna see
how that works. I think that
the - uh - results will be a little
better and Just - we're ablt to
know where that - uh - airglow
horizon is in respect to the Earth
horizon. Because it's - uh - much
more well defined - uh - then the
Earth horizon. And we don't
have a longer time to work with it.
The Earth horizon - uh - doesn't
seem to show up for quite a while
yet. The airglow horizon is
already visible even though there's -
uh - still some light in the - uh -
window. So maybe we can do a
little better work this time than
- we have in the past. And - uh -
 Dump Tape 241-03
Page 7 of 15

I'll be wanting ti know if

you want me to continue this
... - uh - and I hope you'll
specify either Earth horizon
or airglow horizon, future sightings
... today. Know we're gonna
use - uh - no, let's not use
Jupiter ... bright. There's
Fomalhaut over there put
in zero bias. Okay, ... let
a little bit of light in the
sextant - not much Just a
little. My position number 1.

241 13 22 12 PLT MARK. 0.004. Crank it up a

little bit and do it again.

241 13 23 01 PLT MARK. Number 3, 0.002.

241 13 23 15 PLT MARK. 0.003. And the fifth

zero bias mark.

2_i 13 23 37 PLT MARK is 0.004. _ell we've located

the Fomalhaut. There's the big -
uh - baseball diamond up there,
and we're looking right down the -
uh - home plate to thrid base
line of Fomalhaut. I've got here
pretty well picked out. Oh -
there's old Enif up there - uh -
He's a possible - possible at this
point; although he's pretty high
Dump Tape 241-03
Page 8 of 15

in the window, he may not rotate

around to the right place, during
the night. And Dubhe I got her,
up there, and in - uh - pretty
good shape too. We have planet
Jupiter, and those - uh - two
stars together; well, not tonight.
Well, before we waste too much
time, leave us press on here.
Let's see what do we pick out
first? Maybe we ought to pick
out Dubhe first. We can pick it out of
the horizon kind of fast sometimes.
And - uh - I'd estimate that
distance about - uh - let's
put about - uh - 45 in there to
begin with - 40 or 45. See the
lights from the cities on the
ground. We're - uh - passing
over northern China. Thunderstorms
lighting up the - uh - area down
there.

241 13 25 20 PLT Lots of good stars out tonight, and

the horizon, looks very good. In
the horizon, there's a white band,
which is a litttle bit diffused
on the top as it meets the black,
But it's very diffused in - uh -
quality as it - or misty as it
goes - uh - downward to the Earth's
horizon and the - uh - the underside
of the airglow horizon Just kinda
diffused very gradually into
the black of the Earth, and - uh -
that makes it difficult to find
the Earth down there. Although
I can see a few stars below
the airglow horizon. The upper
boiAndary of the airglow horizon -
uh - looks more well defined
than the lower. And now let's
see how we're doing with our friend -
uh - Dubhe there. Turn down his
reticle Just a little bit. Now
on the lowerone, I got the good
view the airglow horizon, and the

up. Yep. The light off the
discone antenna has suddently
obscured the whole horizon. So,
there you are, space fans.
I got a bunch of marks on first
Dubhe and then - uh - Fomalhaut
in the airglow horizon. I - uh -
Dump Tape 241-03
Page 14 of 15

temporarily lost Fomalhaut on

that second set of marks. But I
thiiLk that - uh - I was
tracking the same star both
before and after I lost it. And
I think that ought to be enough
marks to keep you busy for a while.
And Let's see, other possible
stars, I noticed that Gacrux
is out there in good shape all
the time. It doeesn't m_ke
quite the angle with the
horizon that Fomalhaut is now
making. So that might be a good
one to use. And Enif looks like
it's a little bit too big an angle.
It's up there too high now. Looks
like to me we're on the ragged
edge of having too big an angle -
Fomalhaut shooting around 55 degrees
there and - uh - that's a pretty
big angle. I don't think you want

241 13 5h 50 PLT See if I can see anything else out

there that looks like it might
be favorable. It's getting so light
that I can't make out but - uh -
some of the stars. Peacock wouldn't
do the Job. Peacock would not
be any good. The Sun's pretty
din anyway. I think we probably
got a couple of pretty good stars
at the moment, unless you want
to include - uh - one of those
stars like Gacrux as a candidate
fox' - uh - T002. Not sure I can
find Achernas, I think Ackernar is
a little too much of side angle
out the window anyway. Unless we did
it early in the - uh - early in
the pass. Okay, that takes care of
T002 - uh - operational sightings.
I JTigure this is - uh - early in the
•
_- Dump Tape 241-03
Page 15 of 15

pass. Okay, that takes care of

T002 - uh - operational sightings.
I figure this is - uh -
probably the third - uh - successful
run that we've had with - uh -
stadimeter and sextant probably
got two or three more to go; so,
we 're moving along.

241 13 55 55 PLT That will be all for TO02 today.

which would have affected the data and - ah - I'm

We're - uh - looking out a rather poor window

You might be able to see a circular structure
now. The reason the screen keeps cutting in

off the side of the spacecraft causing it to
bother - uh - to close our automatic light
control. I'll cut - cut down our lighting a
little bit; maybe that will help. Look and see.

A. We're talking about ATM, the 18:hO
pass. Uh - This is the one you wanted
to cut a little bit short - uh - so I
could get off down there and - uh -
rerun the - uh - bicycle run. By now,
I don't think we're going to miss anything.
I started out by - uh - doing JOP 6.
By the way, I started about a minute
and a half to 2 early on that. Uh -
The only guy it's gonna effect, I think,
is may be S052. I think that 56 and 54
don't mind much cause they're X-rays,
and the auto raster wasn't going yet until
after effective sunrise. Now I jumped
a little bit on that and - uh - the 52
guys ought to be - uh - thinking about it,
maybe, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes early.
... get going and overlook the ESR
assignment. But - uh - it did continue to
run out as we got the JOP 6 done and we
tolled to plus 1200 and did the J0P 6 - uh -
/_ in a little different manner as you've
recuested there with no problem. And then
we went to active region 8 and picked up
the building block 4 that I had missed in
the - uh - pre%_!ous rev I picked up the
detectors and ran it off as requested in
the rev before. And - uh - at the present
time, working oL_ the observing time
shopping list i_em 18. We've got the roll
of minus 4200. 56 has got a filter 4 long
going - uh - single frame for - uh - 15
minutes. Uh - 52's in the single standard
and - uh - due to the fact that - uh -
active region - uh - 8 is - uh - right
under the crosshairs on the 55 OFFSET
why, - uh - I got a mirrow auto raster
going and - uh - and detects - uh - all
detects are at the GRATING of zero. And
now - uh - Bean's gon_a take over and - uh -

241 22 40 20 PLT Okay, we just recorded 30 as

the seat height adjustment. Open
your clamp. Uh - for some reason
they told me to close your pro-
pellant valves down- back here. Your
supply valve I mean. You don't have
any thruster power at the moment.
We're going to leave the - uh -
i-_ thruster blocks where they were before
which is - at uh - at - uh - o,
as I already mentioned. And now, I
uh - do this, I - uh - voice record
at - uh - T020, run number l, as
begun again, it's really number 2.
It's really run number 2, space fans.
When all of the - uh - extra straps
and paraphenalia, I verify your FRAME
RATE is in 20. That it is. Read
the pressure gage. I read the
pressure gage and it is reading
2400 psi. DAC remote control is 2
FPS. It surely is. Okay, now
we got to change the magazine in
the C?,_JDAC, when required. So
I'll watch that little red light.
Do not begin a maneuver with less
than 300 pounds and change the PSS
when required. Okay, now we - uh -
know what the mark routine is and
all that. Uh - you uh - clear on
that? Okay, you're gonna give me
a mark when you get to your position.

The TV camera may be mounted near
the dome and aimed towards the
center of the or - workshop if
SI_I
' or PLT cannot handhold it.
If the restraints are satisfactory
do L run L per checklist. Okay,
you're going to do - uh - i0 minutes
of discretionary maneuvers, all right?

241 22 h4 58 PLT It says - uh - Here's the order. If

there 's

CC uh-

PLT - - Perform about lo minutes of

discretionary maneuvers with the
TV and no DAC okay? If the
restraints are satisfactory,
then do run 1. Without TV,
omit the tumble recovery and
the minimum foot controller inputs.
Be sure to wait lO seconds after
the completion of maneuver before
turning off DACs and to voice
record the pressures after each

Okay space fans - uh - we're
gonna treat you to another
installment of the Orville and
Wilhurn, show. Orville there,
Alan Bean, has got the - uh -
TO20 foot control maneuvering
unit fastened to him today in a
new and different way to give
him more stability. He's coming
up out of the crew quarters hatch.

2_i 22 52 50 PLT And he's maneuvering upward out

of the crew quarters hatch. Owen
Garriott is the cameraman again
today. Don't go back any further
Al. You're gonna bump this. I'll
have to get you clear.

PLT Okay, how's the lighting, 0.?

SPT ... okay.

PLT Should I turn that one off over

there?

SPT ...

PLT Okay, we're taking a cut here,

friends. We're gonna start over
again. All you TV fans. Okay,
space fans. Here we are again with
another installment of the Orville
and Wilbur Show. We got Al Bean here in
the Skylah flying the foot control
maneuvering unit. We've made some
modifications to the restraint
mechanisem with the straps - in the
way that it's - uh - fastened to
him. We're evaluating this new
Dump Tape 2hl-lO
Page 7 of 28

restraint mechanisem. He's flying

up there toward the - uh - dome area
now, and it looks llke he
successfully made it up to the
dome where Owen Garriot is on the
TV. His objective here is to -
uh - fly a few - uh - maneuvers, as
he sees fit, to evaluate the
restraint mechanisem before he
goes into the - uh - full blown
e_luation - uh - according to the
procedure. There you see him - uh -
yawing around to his left, all the
time whistling over the Earth at
18,000 miles an hour, although you
wouldn't know it to look at him.

2hl 22 5h 52 PLT Okay, he's approaching the crew

quarters deck. He's pitching
down and - uh - moving aft. Doesn't
want to go aft any further. Now
he's - uh - got himself horizontal
to the crew quartersfloor,

a foot control maneuvering unit,

is that - uh - the - the pilot's
hands are free to - uh - @_asp or
to hold whatever he want to, to grab
onto something when he gets there.
And -uh - we're evaluating this - uh -
design of a foot controlled
maneuvering unit. Rolling to his
left, still face down to the crew
quarters. I'll get you there, Orville,
if you'll go straight. Now he's
yawing back to his right facing up
toward the crew quarters hatch.
Stabilzed about 4 feet off the deck.

241 22 55 50 PLT Still translating down, he reaches

out and grabs a hold of the - uh -
handlt to the parasol which covers
the workshop - keeps it cool.
Torques himself around. What'd you
want me to do for you there, Orville?
Doesn't want anything done for him,
not a thing, he's on his own. Wants
Dump Tape 241-10
Page 8 of 28

to stabilize himeself in an
uprighted position, apparently.
Okay, he's got a slight pitch
rate going. He's up - going now.
He's 1 foot off the crew quarters deck,
upright position. He gives a little
th_ist up and a little pitch down.
I'll clear you back here. Okay,
now he's translating. Where you
going, Orville?

CDR l'm going up to see what's

going on up there.

2hl 22 56 40 PLT He's going ou - he's going

up to see what's going on up
there, he says. Wants to stand
in front of the TV camera - show
business, you know. You know the
old saying: If you can't he
colorful, be good. Or was it the
other way around? Okay, there
h_,c: _ _n his lefT.. _o far
under control. How's the new
restraint system working, Al?

CDR ...

PLT He says the new restraint system

works good those ... they got
there hold them down to the feet
be_er instead riding - uh -
bucking bronco.

CDR ...

241 22 58 21 PLT He was a little loose in them

the other day, and he kind of
rode it like a buckin' bronco,
but - uh - looks like it's - uh -
fastened down a little better so
that it doesn't slide around when
he pushes on it with his feet,
which was the - uh - oJec - objective
of the - uh - restraint... system i
that we have on there. What are you
going to do now - uh - there, Orville?

CDR ...

PLT Okay, he says he's coming back

down.

CDR ....

PLT He says there's not a heck of

a lot you can do there. He's
gonna go up and down.

CDR ....

241 22 58 53 PLT Go up and down in a different

direction. That a boy! Now
he's pitching down. You got about
5 feet behind you there. Okay,
now he's stopping his - uh -
translation and he's - uh - pitching
forward and he's - uh - gonna
eo_ down head first, hands
first to the - uh - crew
quartersarea. These thrusters

Just plain old - uh - nitrogen

all by itself. That bottle on his
back, which l'm pointing to right
there is a high pressure bottle
full of nitrogen. We can refill
those bottles very readily up
to about 25 or 2800 psi, and - uh -
that provides the - uh - the
propellant supply for the little
thrusters that are mounted by his
feet where I'm pointing. Those L
little blue buttons on there
are thrusters. There's a battery right
here. You can see this cable going
into the battery, which operates the -
uh solenoid valve to - uh -
operate the - uh - thrusters.
Permits gas to go from the - uh -
pressure bottle to the thruster
and - uh -

all the maneuvers that are made.

CDR ....

241 22 59 25 PLT Okay, Owen, that's - uh - good bit

of - uh - television work there
and - uh - why don't you Just
go i:ithere and - uh - turn the
TV off now and go back to
whatever you were doing.

SPT ...

PLT I know. We got stuff floating

all over here, couple washers.
Okay, A1, we're ready to start
thosemaneuvers. Did you like
Lhe z'esLrai_c mechanism all rlg$1_':
Let me find _ checklist and - uh -
we'll get with it. That's
floated off somewhere. It'll turn up
here shortly, I guess. There it is.
Let me turn off the TV camera.
Thank you, Owen. I gotta drift
up here to wherever that's
hooked up. There it is - and -
uh -turn it off. It doesn't
overheat. We've got to treat this
one with tender loving care.

2hl 23 00 22 PLT Now I reckon I ought to tell you

what to do. Now it says - uh -
if restraints are satisfactory, do
run 1 per checklist B-1 without TV.
Omit the tumble recovery and the
minimum foot controller input.
He said to - uh - wait lO seconds
after completion of maneuver
before turning off DACs and to
voice record the PSS pressure after
Dump Tape 2hl-lO
Page Ii of 28

each maneuver. Remember that's

a lateral correction technique.
Remember - uh - that the lateral
tech - correction technique mey be
used as needed. And-I'm going
to read your pressure now. I can't
read it when you're like that.
I can read it when you're like
this. Just stay where you're at
now. Okay, we're at 1700 psi and
I go over here and - uh - look
at the page - uh - 20-1 and - uh -
that's all the stuff that - uh -
tells us the plan of attack
and what not. And - uh - it tells
me wha - what I should comment on.
Difficulty in putting commands
in, unusual disturbance or motion -
uh - We don't have any of that.
Cross coupling - uh - accelleration
and translation rates amd - uh - decide
what you're doing and where you're
going. All right. Now we're over
nere. This is the attitude change
and hold maneuver. Now I got to get
this - uh - lighL on. And I got to
grab Jp;d pf tJat - uh - tJat - uh -
cable and put it in a good place.
It takes me a m_nute to unhook that.
I got to take that with me. We had
a camera failure, by the way,
space fans. On _he DAC that we mounted
into the - uh - CMU - uh - didn't
want to work. So - uh - we off
to a late start on account
of that. for one thing. And
the other thing is it took us a
long time to get these restraints
all hooked up. So - uh - we're
about ready to begin this - uh -
operation. The - uh - lateral
restraints are - uh - restraints
are checked out. We feel they'll
do the Job - uh - for this run.
And - and now the old - uh - Wilbur -

a little bit. Uh - let

me read your pressure Just for
the folks back home ; they want
to know that. You're down to

Now he pushes off and gives himself
a little more thrust. So he reaches
FMU 2. Stabilised there at the

a little spin. Spin to the right -
roll to the right, that is. And - uh -
translating towards the - uh
404 locker. There he goes. Now
he's pitching dotal. Looks like he's
gonna rise above it - he's gonna

manner. Now he wound up over at -
uh - dome locker _400 - at the
top of it. Kind of pitched down

trying to translate around to
those dome lockers. But he's going
low - he's a little low - he's
dawn by the water tanks now. Grabbing
on by the water tanks, trying
to stabilize himself in front of
the dome lockers. He's reaching
out and grabbing whatever he can
to get himself up in the plane of
the dome locker again. And - uh -
hels kinda quitting on it -
getting himself over to 432 using
his hands. And now he's - uh -
positioned himself with his hands in
front of h32. In the - uh -
normal position there.

241 23 38 13 PLT Now he pushes off, very gently,

using Jaws to his left. Okay
• .. a yaw to started him off to
go - to come towards the donning

a little too far, about 6 feet

above the crew quarters hatch
now. And - uh - he's coming in
to the left of the donning station -
coming in to the left of it. Not
much he can do about it, I guess.
Ke just can't trsns- oops - Can't
translate to the - to the right
to get over to the donning station,
so he Just sort of winds up where
he would up - uh - over by - uh -
water tank 2. And he grabs - the ...
the ring there and - uh - shoves
himself on down the donning
station. Whet's your plan now?
Okay, his gas now is - uh -
_00 on the money, psi and - uh -
we still don't have an end-of-film
light. Gonna do it again? He's

direction, he can't stop himself.

241 23 41 45 PLT He tried to stop himself in

the middle of the workshop but he's
always going somewhere. Now's he
pitching up and - uh - yawing

never out of control but on
the other hand he's never in
control either. He's in that ...
control-wise known as limbo.
Okay, he says we're gonna knock
it off. Which is - uh - precisely
what he means. So I'ii stow the

Turn off your DAC. He turns off
his DAC. I turn off my DAC. And
we - uh - turn off the high

Let me turn off the recorder.
And I say - uh - okay_ space fans,
that concludes the T02- run - uh -
IA, I believe you call it. It's our
second run through the run at any
