there was a lot of - uh - XUV activity
as seen on the moniters. Uh - connecting

was a rather strong radio burst

taken several pictures of that
so I did not take the camera with me.
I took the gyro stabilized binoculars,

trying to adjust those binoculars
to fit my eyes. I found that -

time and I don't think it's my eyes.
I'm going to keep working on it and
keeping a record. I'm suspicious that

of a little =miss there and I tblnk
maybe that's one reason were having
trouble with these binoculars, is

peoplle, biomedical people interested
_ in urinalysis. Oh - c_ my urine
volume for day 7 - 37 which is
reported on the evening of day 38,
I have - I had reported - uh - 1800,
millimeters, 1800 milimeters. Now -
uh - day 36 was also 1800 milimeters,
and When I went down to log my -
uh - next morning's - uh - volume,
I noticed that l'd not filled in -
uh - day 37. So I'm a little
Suspicious that day 37 as reported in
the states report on the evening of
day 38 may be in error. So - ub -
once you get the - uh - samples
back, I would tend to believe the -
uh - trascer voll,mJ - uh - rather
than the vo],,_ I reported last
night. I hope they're in agreement
but I'm not sure they will be.
And I wanted to draw your attention
to the fact that I'm suspicious of

247 20 35 56 PLT kay, this is Jack back again on

channel A. The subject is T002 star-
to-Moon sightsings and - uh - I
think were gonna have to hold off for
few days on star-to-Moon or anything
to do with Moon sightings because -
uh - the Moon - uh - stays to far
in - uh - the right side of the
window as you're facing the window
in the one g position and - uh -
you can't get the sextant around
there and your head in there in order
to - uh - get it in the field of
view. So until the - uh - Moon gets
to a Better angle - uh - more - uh -
directly out of the - uh - directly
cut fram the - uh - wardroca window,
we're going to have to - uh - hold
off and - uh - and - uh - perhaps
I can give you a call when it looks
like it's - uh - a good time to do
it. It - uh - was - uh - clearly
visible as far as being a half-Moon
was concerned but it stayed in the

the 0.4 from the minus 1.7 and got a

Under the subject heading of PMMD
STB ... BMMD Cal mass ... test. I
get for the following step 7 Ten
numbers. I'll read - uh - only th_ -
after the first number, I'll only last -
read the last three out of each read-
ing, because the first three are
always the same. So here's number
one, h.42761, 947,929, 890,750, 774,
731, 799, 867, 877. Now I decided that
_ Dump Tape 248-01
Page 4 of 6

there was a lot of scattered in data

so I did it over again. I got the
following readings again for 77.
h.42918, 859, 840, 834, 810, 740, 938,
671, 795, 746. Then I decided there
still wasn't too much scatter to data,
so I did it all over again for the
third time step 7 I got 4.42980,
904, 814, 830, 823, 838, 791, 821,
851, and 793. And - uh - each of
the last steps - two steps I was
very careful to - uh - ... the unlock
handle - uh - for the ... end of
stop and all that - _ud that's the
best that I can come up _-ith, Bill.
So after that I went on to step 9.
There was one point of confusion on
step 9, that I'm going to try to
clarify now. Step ais to remove
the C clamps and place over the
springs of the Cal Mass adapter.
Well, I didn't know what the springs
of the Cal Mass adapterwere cause I
_di_Ln't see any, but I fugred that the
best thing to do was to - was to use
the cross-brace call that the springs
and - uh - so I tightened the chair
to the cross-brace using the C clamps.
So, maybe the spring that you meant was
a clip on the end - flits over the
top of the chair. Now I don't know
but - I fugred what you wanted to do
was to make that Cal Mass adapter
fit as securely as possible to the
seat. So I - uh - I did that by
tightening the C clamp over the - over
the brace -tl_e cross-brace, cross-brace,
on the Cal Mass adapter.

248 02 13 44 PLT Okay, Now - uh - I guess that I should

also say that -uh- in reading your
procedure - uh - it said to place the
first food tray fourth from the bottom,
which meant to me the third from the
top. So that the fifth tray was second
from the top and the tops pans were
open. Okay, so that was the configura-
tion. It's that configuration I - uh -
_,_ Dt_p T_pe 248-01
Page 5 of 6

didn't do. Uh - step 9, here's

what I got, 4.42761,778,732,725,699,
795,635,706,591,692 then proceeded

one to go. We can just_e it. So
let's see the rotation tilt. I
add a plus 4 until the .4 rotation
and get 242.7. 4217. And ll.6.
Okay, we go to slide retraction,
stand by for my MARK. 242.7 is
checked and ll.6 is checked. Stand
by.

248 13 26 17 PLT MARK, SHU'rI'E_OPEN. Frame 137. Sealed

mike 8 alpha. A 16 minute unwidened
exposure which began precisely at
26. Will terminate at - uh - 42
at the very latest, and - probably
a little before. But we'll - uh -
see. And - uh - that's all we're
going to - uh - t_1_ about for now
for a little while. We'll be back
when the - uh - exposure is terminated.

248 18 42 O0 PLT Okay, space fans, here we go with

the S019. Stand by to close the SHUTTER.

248 13 42 05 PLT MARK, SHUTTER CLOSED. Frame 137 on

field mike 8 alpha. A 960 second
supposedly, but we had to cut
that short a little bit• ... We had
to cut that short by 15 seconds.
So that was - uh - 15 minutes and -
uh - 45 second exposure. We had
to cut it short because of - uh -
sunrise at 13:42, but - uh - we got
all but 15 seconds. So that terminates
that frame and - uh - we'll - uh -
go about our business of - uh -
getting the mirror in and so forth.
So that ends the - uh - message
on - uh - S019 PAD number 4017.

when I gave a limb scan above
active region 7; 30 arc seconds
above the limb gave a - uh -
8-minute exposure to 56. Now i
whistled back over the center of
the Sun, arrived there on time.
But my grating auto - grating scan
didn't stop at 3; it went right on
through 0. I don't know why; I'm
still trying to figure that one out.

248 15 39 06 CDR Msybe it's 'cause it started above 0.

I'm not sure but it had 3 on the

the mirror line scan. What I plan to
do is - uh - next time I will - uh -
try to finish up early and go over _
and do that one again. I 'm not
so happy about the way it came out. .-
Otherwise everything's okay. The

you requested. Uh - the first - uh -
two sets of mirror line scans were at

shortly thereafter - uh - - uh - put
the - uh - mirror down to line 25 aud
uh - the rest of them were right near
the center of the sun spot. Initiated
uh - mirror auto raster near the end
of the rev and - uh - got about l-l/2
rasters in and - uh - got to be ...
back and pick up the atmospheric ex-
tinction - uh - request that we had
the rev before. And - uh - we got
started on that at 05:30. And - uh -
we're ... right now - uh - getting
ready to turn on - uh - - uh - - uh -
getting ready to put Bob McClean on

248 23 53 01 CDR This is the CDR and I'm debriefing the last
ATM run, which was the 23:07 run. Uh - It went
nominal up to about the time I was - uh - finish-
ing step 4D - uh - step 4D of step I, J0P 2A.
Then I noticed that active region 9 was - uh -
getting a little bright in H-alpha relative to
the others. Also noticed the - uh - BERYLLIUM
COUNTER had gone 3 about 3900 snd I know this
wasn't enough for a flare hut it looked like
a great - uh - break point. I went down - uh -
took a mirror auto raster - correction - grating
auto scan on the brightest point of - uh - active
region 9. When I was finished, I went back up,
did step 4E - uh - of - uh - JOP 2A on active
region 12. And then I came back down for 9 be-
cause it still looked like the . .. up again.
I - uh - did the grating auto scan on the hottest
part, then I moved up and am doing an mirror auto
raster. Some of it may be going to sunset here.
I'm on line - I'm on line 21. I'Ii probably be
about halfway throughby 343. Then we'll get the
other part. Uh - It never did really materialize,
but it sure bears watching the rest of the - uh -

2h8 18 18 2h PLT Okay space fans, I Just had a tape dump -

uh - this is Jack back in on channel A.
We're right in the middle of Ml71. So
will - uh - continue at this point - uh -
by reading the - uh - bottle pressure
on the - uh - Calibrated N and water

pressure is 5.382. Precent watt - uh -
correction percent O is 6h.15. Percent

And - uh - this is all I'm going to talk
to you about right now. We'll be back
later, so don't go away.

2_8 19 21 05 SPT Okay this is SPT on channel A, with

information for the A_4 PIs and planners.
Uh - debriefing the last run - uh -
which was - uh - predominatelyconcerned
with the - uh - flare, which occurred
in active region ]2. Uh - I had just
gone to Sun center to set up the
building block 2, in fact it had been
running for a few minutes, - uh - when
the first cue was the XUV _._N bright
spot. I'd - uh - been monitoring
H-alpha 2 on - uh - number 2 on - uh -
left scope on the XUV MON on the right
scope, which is the persistant image
scope.

2_8 19 21 39 SPT And - uh - it was very clear that the

XUV - uh - signature was becoming - uh -
- uh - very bright. A small - a relatively
small area in active region 12. Uh - I
checked the - uh - image intensity count,
which was beginning to rise, as was the
_4EC. And - uh - decided to - uh - uh -
terminate the building block and move over
there. So it took a few seconds to - uh -
get ... to - uh - ViDECOM turned off and
their door closed. And the - uh - slid
F- over there and pointed at the - uh - brighted
spot which was - _h - to the south of the
- uh - Sun spot.
%

Dump Tape 248-07

Page 2 of ll

248 19 22 23 SPT This was - uh - to the right hand edge

and since we had a roll of plus 5400 slightly
to the right of the Sun spot on my scope.
Uh - as quickly as possible Ed and this
would be approximately 18:30, it might have
been a minute or so earlier than that. Uh -
got in to the - uh - uh - flare observation
and ... on 56 add the - uh - ... 3IB16 on S05h
and got some irradiated. Shorgtly the
reafter I did check it frames remaing counter
to _ke sure that they were both working. And
I believe 56 was continueing to work, although
I would like to - uh - uh - have some word
back from you - uh - to see whether or
not it hung up - uh - on that first initiation
of auto shorts. A little bit later I did
stop it and start it again Just to make sure.
And - uh - got 55 - uh - showing in ...
again and it was already a grating pin there
is zero so it that turned out to be very
convenient thing to get set - uh - uh -
F_ going.

248 19 23 41 SPT Now 82A and B I did not go into the flare
lode [sic] perhaps I should have. Uh- 82A
is down to 80 frames - 81 right now. And
- uh - I was affraid that would - uh
wipe out the rest of our opportunity for - uh -
an optic measurments and so on had I done
that. In 82B there's probably a better
case for haveing gone to flare mode,
even though I did not and what I ended
up doing on 82B was giving it - uh -
several - uh - auto sequences and - uh
several - uh - manuel shorts - tub - frames.
Uh - 5 and l0 seccnds in length on k_JV shorts.

248 19 24 20 SPT Uh - now the - uh - flare continues to

develop and the xray - uh - intensity to
increase - uh - fcr sometime after these
- uh - observations were started, peaking
at about 770 or in that vacinity on the
PMEC as I recollect. The highest number
that I recall, I believe had something
greater than 150 cn the - uh - image
- intensitycounter. Didn't get a good
Beryllium number except down to - uh -
I believe window ene, although, I can't
- did not catch a good otherwise - uh -
I took a count number on the Beryllium counter.
 Dump Tape 248-07
Page 3 of ii

248 19 25 04 SPT It also - uh - ended rather abruptly

- uh - by the time 8 minutes had
gone by that us about 18:48 it was
- uh - clearly - uh - decreasing in
intensity. And I also - uh - uh -
couple of tines stopped the Ber light
scan to - uh - check the intensity
of oxygen 6 which I had set an detector
three and where as it had originally
been at about 30,000, pounds by 18:30
it had dropped down, as I recall, to - uh -
somewhere around 10,000 - 18 - uh - 8 to
12 - uh - somewhere around lO. And I
also could see that the - uh - brighted
point in the flare = uh - was now - uh -
somewhat above the - uh - crosshairs of
of my H-alfa scope. Now very fortunately,
the alignment of the - uh - flaring
part = the flaring region which was
parallel to the neutral line right
_ through there was more or less up and
down on my scope. That would _m_ke it
- uh - east/west - uh - inter solar
coordinate s.

248 19 26 13 SPT Now - uh - the - _h - slit was therefore

essentially fully filled by this flaring
- uh - material even though the majority
of the flaring - _h - act - uh - the
brightest - uh - region was above the
crosshairs. Because it did not extend
as much as 30-arc seconds above the
- uh - erosshairs. And so the slit
was well filled. The lower half of
the slit was - uh - not filled. And
- uh - in as much as the - uh - S055
was no longer doing a bare light scan
on - uh - the brightest part, - uh -
I didn't obviously want to change it
around too many times, but I thought
it did warrant at least one change.

248 19 27 58 SPT And so I set the light up from 9 to 5

and this eontinutcd to bare light scans
there. Uh - the z_umbers - uh - are
a little bit hazy in my mind but I have
the impression that it again jumped
from - uh - uh - something like - uh -
10,O00 but it has been up to - uh -
that perhaps - uh - 20 to 25,000.
 Dump Tape 248-07
Page 4 of ii

But your telmetry will verify - uh -

what those correct numbers are. Theb
I continued with the - uh - bar light
scan. Now the - ah - by let's say ...
18:40 that change at 1838. I don't
think I said 48 but 1838 was when
I changed to bare lines scan - line.
By about 18:40, the - uh - their normal
level. Uh- the I_th the P[CEC, and the
image intensity count, Berylluim counters
book of ... were all - uh - dropping back
to normal very quickly. Although there
was still an XUV xray signature. And
so I - uh - continued to run a re - uh -
X-ray flare program, and several more
exposures of a Nu . Until by 18h5 the
Z
XUV MON showed essentially - uh -
appearance for ae'_ive region 12. It
was no brighter than any of the other
activeregions. Irn- the H-alphahad
essentially retur_led to near normal,
althoug)a there were extra features associated
with the - uh - _/l - dark - uh - filament
like - uh 0 structures which extend
out from the Sun spot.

248 19 28 38 SPT And I'm sure - uh - your own X - uh -

H-alpha photographs will show those
- uh - uh - dark clouds.

248 19 28 48 SPT So aside from them, the xray - or

the H-alpha - uh -- configuration
- uh - we're back to - uh - nearly
normal. And so I terminated the
- uh - uh -.flare observation and
went back to _un center. Oh -
although it was _ - uh - remarkablly
near the center of the disc it seems
possible there was some coronal - ah -
uh - signature - _h - still - uh -
visible in the light - light corons_ophah.
And - uh - I did pick up a building
block 2 ag_ain. Azd also of course
• a radio - uh - ... radio burst associated
with it. Uh - the - uh - uh - triger
level for this - _h - flare, incidently,
Dump Tape 248-07
Page 5 of Ii

it did triger to the radio noise burst

monitor oh, a matter of a few seconds,
ahead of the I_4EC. So I assume that it's
essentially just a question of the - uh -
high threshole level. I perhaps had
the radio noise threshold set a little
bit closer than - uh - the x-ray threshold
had been set. Th._y were essentially
- uh - contemporary - simultaneous. And
- uh - so I went back to Sun center at
about O- uh - little after 18:45, picked
up building block 2 - tub - picked up
ground contect a little after 18:50 and
- uh - sent ... to under that flare
- uh - post flare program. I ... flare
•.. for a little while I'm afraid. And
then after - uh - ground - uh - a
reminder went on to the - uh - post
flair. And that's about it for the last
- uh - orbit. And that's the end of the
- uh - debriefing for the - uh - A_4 pass
that takesus abo_t - uh - 19 and 20 Zulu.

248 19 30 37 SPT SPT out.

248 19 31 14 PLT Ok8_, space fans, this is Jack on channel A

and the subject is the conclusion of the
M092/171 run. Uh - something went right
into - uh - an exercise period - uh -
after weighing 171, we didn't get the - uh -
final readings on precent - uh - 0 , CO
2 2 ,and

water. And - uh - we attempted to - uh -

continue on with the metabolic analyzer
during the exercise period, but - uh -
somehow we got goofed up, and - uh - uh -
trying to get - reach our cabin here and
- uh - follow the check list, but we'd
already got in experiment activate and
- uh - some of those switches off and
I think we - uh - lost the whole calibration
So - uh - the - uh - metabolic analyzer data
after - tub - the M171 run is - luh -
appeared to be no good - uh - for the
reasons we had onboard and - uh - attempts
to restore it were - uh 0 to no avail. And
- uh - like I say, the _l - uh - M171 run -
- uh - at the end of it we didn't get the
- uh - percent ... of the camera.

on channel A, and the subject this time
is T0(Y2. This goes to - uh - Bob Randall
Ames Research Center and - uh - Bob Nute
over in building 4. And I got news for
somebody down there. As it turns out
- uh - I was supposed to do a star
on the Earth's horizon but - uh -
beings that the Beta angle's what it is,
there ain't no horizon out there. And
there won't be for a while. So - uh -
I'll wait til later in the night here
the see what we caa get, but - uh -
since w_ getting off to such a late
start, it takes a whole - uh - orbit
to get - uh - darn horizons - uh -
we might be out of luck. And, in which,
case, I may have to revertto a third
of Moon, which I c_n Just barely see
enough out of the right window to - right
side of the window to perhaps get the
readings.

248 19 34 39 PLT But - uh - let me get some zero bias first

and see what happens. Temperature of the
- uh - sectant is 69 degrees. And
the diopter's setting is zero. So
with that information we'll press
on and get - get whatever we can.
Long as we're here. We're all dressed
up and no place to go anyway, so why not
get the work. And - uh - there's
Fomalhaut out there and we'll see if
we can get some - uh - zero bias
settings on there, old buddy.

whereas you go on the side - uh - my
diopter gets - uh - the first horizontally.
Now I've got a minus 1.25, so let's run
with it at a minus l-l/4, for a while,
and - uh - you know we like that.

248 19 36 34 PLT Mark. First zero bias is bias 0.005.

Second zero bias is 0.005. Third zero bias
is 0.005. Fourth zero bias is 0.005.
How about that, mc getting them in there.
And the fifth zero bias is sa_e, right
on the money. I used the little red ...
reticle list Just a little hit and it
helps. Okay, now for the horizon.

248 19 B7 54 PLT Stay at this - uh - Beta angle, which

is - uh - getting close to zero - uh -
we're pointing directly away from the
-- Earth at night. _d - uh - we might get
it a little bit iz the side of - right
side of the windo_ or one side of the
window for - uh - sunrise and the other
side of the window, for sunset. So there
ain't no horizon. There won't be until
the Beta angle gets bigger. And - uh -
so we're going to go for star to moon.
And - uh - we'll _mt the 1.6 filter in
like you suggested. See and - uh - see
if I can find our friend Nunki up there
and - uh - what's - uh - speaking of
that - 15 degrees here to begin with.
We'll ... - you suggested yesterday I
use Nunki, so - uh - that's what I'm
going to use today. Dear old buddy Nt_qki.
I believe that's what you suggested, I
can't remember for sure.

248 19 38 58 PLT We used - tried te use Peacock for

something once. That was Star to Star
we already used that. So Nunki's the bird
that we're after _,nd I'm going to try to
get him now. I 'm gonna air about that

manner right there. I'll probably Just

barely get it out the window here. We'll
put the - uh - lo_er line of site on the
moon. There it is, there's the moon. We
got the - we got the Moon - we are gonna
get the Moon. And I think we're gonna get
Nunki.

248 19 39 34 PLT If I can only - Uh - search him out now.

248 19 h0 30 PLT Hey, there's the tail of the scorpion.

There's the base sf the tea pot. There's
the base and the handle together, and
there's is Nunki _ot 'em wired. N_g gonna
rotate the sextant around. Okay, we have
the ... filters now. But boy it was a
little too bright it blotted out Nunki, we
don't want that to happen, so I got the
1.0 and the 1.6 on there. Really gotta
crowd your head up against the side of
the window here.

two sessions worth there of - uh - limb.

It was Nunkl to the - uh - far limit of -

Stand by l, please.

248 20 00 ll PLT Okay, space fans, - _h - on T002 now. I

don't think we ought to try this - uh -
Star to Earth horizon for a few more days,
till our Beta an:le gets to be something -
uh - such so we can have a horizon in the
window all night long. It - uh - came in
toward the later part of the night but not
enough time to - uh - do - uh - even
lO sightings on two stars so - uh - plus -
uh - it was - uh - close to - uh - twilight
when - when we 4/d see it and - uh - that's
not a real _ood time to get the - uh - Earth
horizon. So - uh ~ the boon looks like it's
getting in a more favorable position that it
was the last time ve worked in it. And - uh -
then we can whip off and start a new one in
the next few days here. And - uh - %_ait a
while for the - _/% - Earth's horizon. Uh -
but - uh _ that time I think we got 20 to
30 marks, And - uh - I - uh - gonna count
that down for a ¢:ouple of - uh - star to
Moon sessions.

248 20 01 09 PLT So - uh - that completes the message on T002

now. And - uh - be checking _ith us. And -
uh - $_e won't do the - uh - uh - st_liometery
cause - uh - uh -.the stadiometery has to go

and - uh - therefore we're golng to _it them.
And - uh - that'_ the end of the message and
_e'll pick up the rest - uh - operational

248 21 00 17 SPT Okay, is there somebody using the tape

recorder?

SPT Okay, this is the SPT on the channel A

debriefing the last ATM - uh - uh -
revolution. And - uh - just as ...
this information goes to the ATM PIs
and planners. Just as on the last
orbit the - uh - principle activity
related to a flare in active region 9,
this time. Now - uh - fortunately
as soon as we came up it was pretty
clear that active region 9 looked
interesting, that flare potential
could be ready to - uh - - uh - take
off. So - uh - I did do - uh -
several mirror line scans hunted
around for the brightest points
and that - uh - sort of thing. And - uh -
was pretty well waiting for a flare,
at the time it occurred.As a
matter of fact, - uh - S056 - uh -
should have a - uh - patrol short if
I remember right, preceeding the
flare. Uh - 55 should have some ...
line scan, and - uh - uh - we were
pretty much sitting there waiting for
it to - uh - happen when it really
did.

248 21 01 19 SPT As a matter of fact, I - uh - I even

made that comment on the down - real
time voice-llnk, if you remember.
As to when it - uh - finally occurred
- uh - uh - we began getting data - uh -
right - uh coincidence with the - uh -
rise phase. And - t_h - I didn't get a
time on that, it should have been
around 2000, - 2005 - 2005 but - uh -
your timing I'm sure will be more
accurate than that.

248 21 01 42 SPT Uh - the roll - uh - was optimized

for 82B at 55, mud was unfortunately - tub -
_ verypoor for - uh - 82A. I did take
a couple of manual exposures for 82A,
Dump Tape 248-08
Page 2 of 19

one of about 3 seconds, a little

later - uh - one of about 4 seconds.
Uh - 82B - uh - I had time for a
couple of manual exposures - uh -
during the rise phase and - uh -
when it went one over the PMEC - uh -
flare threshold I did give it - uh -
a short interval of - uh - of
flare - uh - operation.

2h8 21 02 17 SPT A flare mode for 82B only. And - uh -

then I went back - uh - after oh,5 - uh -
5 or l0 minutes to the - uh - manualual
exposures on 82B. 55 was sitting
there in mirror line scan from before
anythi_g happened all the way through.

248 21 02 35 SPT Now, again after the flare had - uh -

peaked and - uh - somewhat beyond
the peak it was clear that I was a
few odd seconds away from the optimum
location- uh - for 55, althoughit
still looks real good for 82B. So
I again - uh - stepped up from line 9
to line 8, Just one line away, and
- uh - continued from there to line 10.

248 21 03 00 SPT So do look for a one line change in

the S055 - uh - data. Uh - uh - uh -
56 - uh - had gone to auto short.
Before it peaked, well before it
peaked and - uh - should get good data
all the way through if we didn't
get hung-up in filter 3 to often.
So - uh - I'm sure you get some
exposures, Jim, but there may be a
few gaps in there when you get hung up_
on - uh - those - uh - uh - auto
inactive orthos. I'm still inclined
to think there is a propensity
for hanging up in active 1 in - uh -
auto. Uh - 54 I think you got just
about what you - uh - were looking
for except, of course, it could have
been a bigger flare.

248 21 03 h4 SPT Uh - it did ... about 715 on the

PMEC, the IIC was reading about 70, or so
70. So what ... I measured the one
•_ Dump Tape 248-08
Page 3 of 19

before but it was above your threshold,

and did have a very substantial X-ray
signature. Uh - that just about takes
care of all of the flare instruments,
and - uh - this time XUV Mon and
X-ray signatures did have a fairly
long ... off. Uh - the - uh - the
flare was very clisible - very clearly
visible on the - uh - X-ray image
scope - uh - it all - the IIC also
had a very long tail-off. It was
very slow in coming back - in fact
slower than the PMEC that's because
it's related to the spectral - uh -
differences.

248 21 04 31 SPT But the PMEC dropped below 700, it

continued to decrease slowly. Whereas
theIIC remained up about 70 for
substantially longer and - uh -
fluctuated around a little bit before
comingon down towardsthe end of
the orbit. Uh - the beryllium
stepped as far as aperture 2. I do
not recall just what the reading
would have been in - uh - beryllium l,
but I think that it would have been
below 4150. So another point you
might want to consider at this time is
recalibrating the - uh - PMEC and - uh -
beryllium count. It does appear that
the - uh - beryllium count is more
conservative; that is, for a given.. °
level, it will - at last for the two
flares, will trigger the PMEC before
it triggers the - uh - beryllium
counter. Whereas - uh - we would
have - uh - assumed - we have assumed
that - uh - as nearly as possible,
they were intended to be the collected
at levels. Uh - At the last 6 minutes
of the - uh - orbit I - uh - I did
the - uh slew away from the flare, which
is pretty well - uh - decreased in
intensity in both XUV and X-ray by
--_ the end of the orbit and - uh - got a
6 minute - uh - standard mode in for
S052.
•_ Dump Tape 248-08
Page _ of 19

248 21 05 54 SPT I also had about - uh - Oh, no, I

was going to take a look at it
- uh - uh - in the - uh - with my
monitor. As it turns out, I only
had 30 seconds left, 8nd by the
time I could see it on TV, apparently
the earthshine Earth's limb had
- uh - come in-scattered in through
the - uh - vidicon and - uh - was
a very bright - uh - glow, off to
one side, Now I had not noticed
that before, but I had always
looked at different Beta angle than
we have now. Beta is going through
zero. And so it does appear that if
we monitor the - uh - uh - TV -
uh - as it gets close to - uh -
equal zero-time remaining, zero - uh -
it does appear that the Earth's limb
will - uh - scatter in considerable
light. And I'ii remember to take a
closer look at that - uh - later on.

2h8 21 06 43 SPT So we're set for post flare activity on

the - uh - next orbit. And - uh -
uh - just scrub the EREP for that. I'ii
probably take a quick look at the
- uh - WLC, for a transient and then
get on with the - uh - postflare
activities for the other instruments.

248 21 07 00 SPT End of message from the SPT for the

- uh - ATM - uh - Pls and planners.

248 21 07 ii CDR Ok - okay, this is the CDR, and this

is SO 19 information we're getting
out late because we Just canceled
EREP. We didn't even have S019 in
the airlock. We now got it in there,
and - uh - we started about a minute
15 seconds ago, the first exposure.
Uh - the NuZ is plus 0.3, so I
added that to minus l.h, get a
minus 1.7, which I subtracted from
250.7, got 249.0. I got 249.0
f _ ROTATION,8.9 TILT. We're gonna go
for a 960-second unwidened
exposure. I'm going to give you a
-_ Dump_Tape 248-08
Page 5 of 19

mark at 2 minutes; that's the best

I can do for you. We' re already
been exposed for about a minute and
45 seconds. It's frame 140 on field
N-6. Couldn't interrupt - uh - de-
briefing by the SPT on a flare that
perturbed. So stand by here and I'll
give you a mark.

248 21 08 09 CDR MARK. Now that's a 2-minute mark,

okay. I'll be off the comm for a
while. We'll also be Sharing this
with Jack Lousma, T002.

248 21 08 18 CDR So CDR out for a while.

248 21 09 27 PLT Uh, you won't want to shine your

light on the window d_wn here. Okay -
tth - space fans. This is Jack on
channel A now, We're going to share
this with S019 and - uh - we had to
-- back out of EREP, and - uh - so
now we're doing T002 again and - uh -
my no-EREP plan is to - uh - do a
dash 2, which is - uh - star-to Moon
sightings. Star being Nunki and
we're getting me - uh - window cover
off. It's all dark here and we
don't have any light going through
here because we don't to disturb
SO19 and - uh - I'll give you a few
spects here to begin with. Temperature
on the sextant is 73 degrees and the
diopter's a minus 1.25. And - uh - I
see the Moon. That's the beginning;
a place to start, if I can get my
feet anchored down. That's another
place to continue a beginning-commence
to start, okay.

248 21 l0 49 PLT Okay, here we are. We'll get the zero

bias sightings after the - uh - run
because the thing is all set up. We got
to hustle. What's a few zero biases
among friends, when he can get them
f _ later. Pretty well set up from the
last session is one reason we're not
crm_king it around. It kills time.
• ...... Dump Tape 248-08

Okay, so you want the ... filters.

I'll try that again; I think I did
last time. It was a little too
bright last time. Washed Nunki
out of the picture. Last time I
had both filters in, 1.0 and 1.6.
I'll try it with 1.6 for a while here.
Okay, stand by here; we'll go into
action. Wish I could lean this on
something. Uh - screwy of an angle,
leaning on the window. I'm gonna
have to lean my head against the
bulkhead and the sextant against my
head. That's the best I can do.

248 21 12 36 PLT MARK. And that mark is 16.795,

space fans.

2_?, 21 13 08 PLT MARK. 16.795. Nunki's just getting

washed out by the Moon. So I'm
gonna go with the other filter also.

2h9 ii 57 40 SPT MARK. That was UV open _nd closeD, we

should have got a visible photo. That's
the end of this pass. Okay, disengaged,
driving down to the bottom. And I'm
not going to change my cocking levers
this time. I don't want any more trips
or anything like that. I'll leave them
open for the moment and I'm turning my
timer off. Okay, I'll go through my
settings and everything here to make sure
that - they're all as we wanted them.
On my UV camera I am set on f2. There
is no focus adjustment on the - uh -
UV lens_ and the twin - the twin UV -
uh - filter was on, of course, and I
moved it back and forth according to
the pad. Timer, you heard all that,
that was ... right. The camera started
. at 4 and it's cranked to zero, as it
should've.

2h9 ll 58 36 SPT The visible camera frames remaining

I'll ... down here just a moment,
double-check that. Well the back now
reads 41 which is what it ought to read.
That's five photos there since I took
one extra to verify it's operation was -
normal. Okay. I'ii not do anything to
the adjustments now except take out the
UV camera and - uh - change the film
cassette. Now one other thing about the
stability, I got it - uh - working a
little better this time, at the optic site
is the thing that you gotta be most
careful of because that's the thing your
eye rests against. Now if it isn't
... we can ... every now and then.
And up on the top of the - uh - site,
the optical site, there's a little
decal that says to change the battery
and so on.

2h9 ii 59 32 SPT I've run a piece of gray tape about

8 - 6 or 8 inches long from that - uh -
battery - uh - housing over to the top
- Dump Tape 2h9-02
Page 3 of 16

of the frame, and then another one

from the bottom of the battery housing
down to the bottom of this little
rectangular frame. And that holds the
optical site in there very firmly. And -
uh - your eye can be up against it, and
touch it and it just doesn't jiggle around.
And it makes a very significant improve-
ment on the stability with which you can -
uh - track objects. Now I put some
gray tape on the camera - uh - foot as
well, but it is probably less critical
because there's nothing touching the -
uh - camera at this point. Uh - with
the exception of when we try to take
those two rapid exposures.

249 12 00 18 SPT But - uh - looks like that pass went off

as planned and I'll be securing here,
changing the film, getting set up for
f the next pass. This message - uh - goes
to - uh - There's one more thing I
wanted to talk about, it goes to the
same people. Uh - this message goes to
the S063 PIs, the ... Wally Teague,
Jack Lew and any others interestedin
S063.

249 12 00 h3 SPT And - uh - I wanted to comment on this

aurora that we saw last night. Uh -
right after sunset - uh - took a look
out the STS window towards the North at 00 -
0305, 0305 and saw very extensive aurora
to the North. Uh - we were all prepared with
Nikon 03, 35-millimeter lens, fl.4 with
the CI film that we've been using. And
very fortunately the horizon was nearly
perpendicular to the STS window.

249 12 01 16 SPT So - uh - took a couple of one-second

exposures, and then switched to Bravo on
the timer and - uh - took a couple of
manual h-second exposures even though
that wasn't included on the pad, just to
make sure that we were getting plenty of -
uh - uh - exposure. And also, perhaps,
to catch some of the higher altitude aurora
 Dump Tape 249-02
Page 4 of 16

which was - uh - much more dim. And

so we have - I think it was a total of
6 or 7 frames of either 1-second and
b-second exposures. Uh - now the aurora
itself - uh - what - you could see the
aurora arc to begin with - it showed an
arc across the Earth's terrain ... Uh -
it was for the most part, or a good part
of it was even below the horizon airglow.
And so part of the aurora was closer to
us than the horizon - the majority of it.
It was greeny in color, I couldn't see
any red, and - uh - towards the end of
the - uh - period - we could see it for a
full five minutes there, the arc extended
out away from the spacecraft toward the
horizon and the aurora tended to blend in
with the 80 kilometer airglow.

249 12 02 26 SPT Now above it, very faintly, you could see -
uh - streamers,very thin striationsin the
aurora extending from much higher altitude.
And again my guess is - uh - from oh, lO0
on up to 200 - 250 kilometers. Very thin
rays, very dim but thin rays more - more
or less vertical ap - apparently aligned
with the magnetic field could be seen.
And so that was one of the purposes of
the b-second exposure, it was an attempt
to - uh - uh - get some of the photography
of this higher altitude - uh - ray-like
structure. So - uh - that's the general
description of it, and - uh - these par-
ticular frames are noted on the - uh -
film load -CI film load. And I hope that
the developers take special pains to -
uh - print this film to the higher ASA
rating. So - not just develop it along
with the rest. So that we can get some
photographs of the auroras. It was probably
the most extensive auroral display we've
seen. And - uh - uh - perhaps the most
interesting. It's the higher altitude stuff,
150 to - 100 to 250 didn't seem quite as
. bright as that which we saw near the
South Pole on Mission Day 6. But still it
was a very good one and probably the most
extensive one that - uh - we've seen.

249 12 0B 59 SPT Uh - incidentally, about three hours

previous to this, right after sunset, we
noticed that we'd seen the - uh - aurora
... Hope I got the pronunciation right.
Uh - and so we saw both the northern and
southern auroral - uh - lights within a
few hours of each other presumably they're
related to the same - uh not a disturbance -
uh - magnetic field and - uh - I hope that
we're in good - we're in for a few more days
of this since we've been having a lot of
flaring.

2h9 12 Oh 32 SPT Okay, now, this is the end of the message to

the S063 Pls, Wally Teague and (static)
Lew and I'ii be securing the - uh - eomm
with the next pass in an hour and a quarter
or SO.

249 12 24 31 CDR Okay, this is the CDR debriefing - uh -

the ... for the ATM pass and I'm debriefing
--" the run at 11:30. Thingswent well,
nominal as can be up until - uh - I finished
building chip hD of JOP 2A, step i.
At which-time I got a call from the ground
to go over and look at a possible ...
transient 090. So I went over to sun
center and looked at that for a few minutes,
didn't think I saw anything, looked at
it some more - wait - no, I didn't - I
didn't think I saw anything so I gave
it ... of standard. After I finished with
the standard, I - uh - went back to look
at it some more, and it looked to me
like at 090 instead of having distortion
in the corona which we've seen as transients
before it looked like the streamer right
there had an unusual brightening, the
lower - uh - about 3/4 of the radiance
of it. In other words, it was tri-
angular-shaped, not exactly a good tri-
angle. It was - uh - seem as a helmet
streamer, except the real helmet part,
the dome part, was exceptionally bright.
It had a little dome on it.

2_9 12 25 48 CDR So I called up our visitin expert, one

Dr. Owen Garriott who looked at it, and
-J Dump Tape 249-02
Page 6 of 16

we both agreed that it looked like it

was something different and it was probably
a transient. So we went to - uh -
building block 8B, and we looked at it
pretty hard. And we decided extended
standard was appropriate, so we gave it
extended standard.

CDR We gave it a MIRROR AUTO RASTER zero. We

looked at the X-RAY SPECT where it said
... - M30L-64, we had something like eight
or nine minutes left, so we decided to
give it an M30S-56, so we thought that
would be the best thing could happen ...
time available.

249 12 26 27 CDR We started off on a - uh - patrol long,

and we felt then after a while that that
wasn't gonna do the job, so we went back
to a patrol normal on 56. And we gave
no other instruments anything else. Just
about a minute before the end I went back
and looked at it again and found that it
was still the same length, but it was
still a brightening there. We'll have to
look at it the next rev and see what we
think. Now just about two minutes before
sunset, we got a beryllium 2, with a
indication of about 3900 which isn't
enough for a flare; we did have a kick-off
on the X-RAY but it went down Just a little -
half.

249 12 27 07 CDR So I was ready to go down - what it was

was active region 12, I could see it down
there ... flaring; it was not really
bright. UV monitor was not standing out
particularly, ... H-alpha was a little
bit bright. But have to class that as a
pre-flare - uh - event, maybe a brighten-
ing, maybe it never got up above the
limits that we've set here through your
notes that said don't go do anything
unless you do it ... So - uh - that's
the end of the briefing.

249 12 27 43 CDR CDR out. That's for the A_4 pass.

It barely made that one in. Come back
to the end, re-cock the two levers. My
next pair is also a double, at 3 ... 29
it's coming up right now, went to 2700
first, and that's what I've got in right
now. Ah, I have 3200, I'm switching
it to 27. Okay. Now we're ready to
track again. Still is at - uh - this
is 1-second, timer is switched to 1-see-

to - uh - reset my two levers. Reengage ..
the Vernier drive. Next time I'm
waiting for is 13:30:30 which is 30 sec-

move it down to 2700. _ 30:30 is my time
I want 8 seconds. 8 seconds set there.
And 8 seconds up ther ... track. And
I'm tracking. Very bright.

249 13 30 47 SPT MARK. UV exposure, visible; end of the

UV. I don't know why it's so bright
out there. Cloud cover, boy, is that ...
hot. Yeah, in fact it must be right at
zero angle, and boy, is it bright ....
it really hurts your eyes. Have to
squint. Next one is at 33:30 and it's
at 2700. Okay, the last one was made
at 2700. So on the 8-second exposure,
I ran out of time, I didn't get to filter
switched so we have a - it looks like
_--_ two 2700-angstrom exposures at 8 seconds.

there. Okay, I took the visible camera
frames remaining between passes. It
was counted down to 41, as it should
have ... which we don't have to worry
about frames. We're right on schedule.
Okay at this point our - uh - UV camera

I don't even see the horizon yet. So we
can't quite do that 'til I can see the

_--- And, the UV is alreadyback.

249 13 38 28 SPT Okay, I got to be able to see the horizon.

I can't see the horizon. From our pad
there's - oh, 47:30, excuse me. We got
l0 minutes. Got a long time to wait.
Okay, there are a couple of extra visible
things floating around - Ah, I heard it
go - and expect you can account for those
on the data telemetry. But I've given
the proper marks on all the others.
Okay, we're waiting for about another 8
or 9 minutes here until we can see the
horizon.

249 13 39 00 SPT Until we can see the horizon.

Bot the site all the way up to the
top. I's gonna be manual exposure,
32-_econds .... 32. The other set
doesn't really made any difference,
they're not going to be ... anyway.
Okay, I'll hold it to 32 to begin.
•.. to manual exposure. And I'll
get a visible - I'll re-cock the
visible lever. I'm going to leave
the UV lever uncocked, so it
will not trigger. My UV frames
remaining at this point is 21.
Okay, sorry to be so plagued with
operator errors. Looks like
almost every run there's either
one or two minor or more major,
depending on how it looks at the
time, problem. Let's see ... Italy,
Sicily is right out through the
UV mirror right now, Isn't that
-_ s_nethingdown there,Al? NOtice
all that smoke or dust or something
coming off that little island
off a - north of Sicily.

249 13 41 58 SPT I don't know what that is maybe

that' s - urelated to that little island.
Maybe it's a cloud. But it's a
beautiful, clear day. That old
boot of Italy, just stands out,
- uh- spurs and everything. All
the way over through Greece - -

249 13 41 12 SPT Fantastic.

249 13 41 14 SPT Islands, into Turkey ... - the

whole shooting match.

249 13 41 20 SPT Son of a gun. Okay, as I was saying,

sorry to be plagued with these
operator errors. I just blew about
lO frames here. Maybe - uh - not
ture, quite the number. By not
having that motor drive switch set.
•_ Dump Tape 249-02

I moved it out of T when I was -

uh - changing - uh - changing the
film And although I thought I'd
checked all settings that was one
that I missed. As far as I know
that's about the only - uh -
no, missed one filter on this last
- uh - sequence also. I noticed
one other funny, that you ought to
look for on the last film load,
BvIS. This is now BVl6 that I've
got in here. - Uh - when you take
the UV camera out, of course, it
is cocked. I then had the twin
filter on there and didn't want to
get any fingerprints or do any damage
to it, so I carefully took the
filters and lens off the Nikon 02.
And I then went to unload the -
uh - cassette. Now as you return, -
uh - as you go to rewind it, you
-_ must switchthe lever from off -
from A, for advance to R, for
retract. When you switch that little
knob from A to R, it puts the
mirror up and back. I don't know
exactly how long the mirror is
flipped out of position. But, it
leaves me with the impression that
that exposes whatever film at that
point is behind - uh - the mirro
to ambient light. So, that was a
point I was uh - unaware of, but
I didn't notice it and I - uh -
prepared for the removal of BVI5.
And if that's the case it's possible
that - uh - uh - the first of the -
_h - calibration - frames - frames
rosy have been exposed and light m_y
have leadked a little bit on either
sides of it. I don't know, but -
uh - that may he - may have may have
been the implications of that. So
that was one funny I know that's on
the unloading of BVIS.

249 13 44 15 SPT Okay. We're now coming up to where

I can see the horizon - uh -
•_ Dump Tape 249-02
Page 13 of 16

through the window, at any rate.

I'ii be able to rrack it here
shortly.

249 13 4h 31 SPT This exposure should begin at

approximately h7:30, which is
still 3 minutes away. Should
be for 32 seconds. - uh -
I thought we'd be over the
Crimea. Are we? Okay, just
looking out at the Crimea here, and -
uh - rather interesting. Over
here on the - uh - thick
side of it and there's this long
think bar looks almost like a
dike, but it's really just a
long thin strip. Beautiful view.
Lots of cultivation in the Crimea,
obviously. Couple of great big -
uh - traps [?] lakes where
there - uh - a red hue, presumably
of either iodine or some - uh -
microbiological growth. I don't
know. Lot of it is pretty salty
I expect, h5:30; 2 more minutes.
HOrizon is clearly visible at the
top.

2h9 13 45 44 SPT Okay, our VISIBLE lever is cocked;

our UV lever is not. In order to
track the horizon at this time,
I may be, beyond the point where
the - uh - the VISIBLE will
yrigger. Or I will of have
already triggered it, perhaps. So
I've recocked my VISIBLE lever,
right now. I may trigger a
little bit early, I don't know if the
visible picture's important to
you here. You got one minute to
go. Thenon 32 8nd I'm gonna give
you a manual exposure, on the
horizon. The horizon is tipped
Just a little bit with respect to
the reticle here_ looks like
_ about- uh - I0 or 15 degrees.
•_ Dump Tape 2h9-02
_Page 14 of 16

I'll track the horizon - uh -

right over the center of the
crosshairs ....

249 13 47 i0 SPT h7:30 coming up in - uh - about

20 seconds. Okay, the horizon is
fairly distinct down there, I
believe. Looks like I'll be
able to see it all right. Okay,
I'm gonna track down, pick it
up now so we get a VISIBLE trigger
here a little early, and there
went the VISIBLE trigger. Okay,
I'm on the horizon.

249 13 47 41 SPT MARK. The beginning of the

exposure. Very slowly, clear
distinction between it - cloud
covered horizon and the sky;
differing shades of white.

249 13 48 14 SPT MARK. End of the exposure. That

should have been a good one.
I'm off more than a fraction of a
degree for that whole exposure.
Okay, that completes - uh - this .'
sequence and my frames remaining,
at this point reads exactly
20 20 on the - uh - l_ikon 02.
That's looks like _it's slmost
exactly - uh - 9 or i0 frames.
Should have been exactly - uh -
i0 frames extra. I did not take
a sample photo at the end - at
the beginning; test photos at the
beginning. Casue I took i0 test
photos. Okay, my timer is being
turned off. And I'll go down
and - uh - double eheek the - uh -

Jack Lew, Wally Teague. It's
underneath those little levers. Yep.

249 13 58 077 PLT Okay, space fans; this is Jack on

channel A, debriefing the last ATM
run which began on 13:07. Uh -
before I did the VTR, I went ahead
and - uh - uh - want to make sure
that I got the right roll for S052,
so - uh - I delayed on the VTR until
- uh - the proper orientation -
uh - uh - was was take and - uh - so
the firstthingI did was to -
uh - to start off with JOP 6 and then "
to 1 Alpha and to 1 Bravo. Uh - at
the end of 1 Bravo, when the roll was
plus 5h00, the optimum for 52, -
uh - I - uh - did the VTR. I gave
you some S052 and I - uh - gave you -
uh - two - uh - XUV MON, integrated
sequences. And then I - uh - took
in a tour of the - uh - active region
of the Sun.

2h9 13 59 07 PLT And then I took you on a tour of the

limb. And I noticed on the limb that -
uh - we have a couple of prominences that
you didn't - uh - send up on the
solar activity pad - pad. On very
nice one - uh - appeared to be - uh -
8200 arc seconds - uh - in length and -
Dump Tape 249-02
Page 16 of 16

uh - probably about - uh -
50 arc - 60 arc seconds - uh -
in height - uh - ... resolution
I could get on the. I twas
located at about 300, and the other
prominence that I noted - uh -
was - uh - of reasonable size,
• .. was located at 250.

2h9 13 59 48 PLT Anybody want to take a look at

those? Uh - then I went on and
did the JOP 12 Dog and had about -
uh - 7 or 8 minutes left, so
what I did was go back to Sun
center plus 5400 roli and - uh -
gave - uh - 52 an extended sc_ner
and I did run it into - right
down to - uh - actual sunset. Aria
I did the same thing with the
mirror auto raster, all detectors
at the grating all balls.

249 I_ 00 15 PLT Again the fact that we have a -

• uh - possible coronal transient - uh -
in progress, I did look at that.
Uh - it looked a little more
bright on - uh - the streamer
in question that - uh - than -
uh - typical, although I'm not
sure that I could identify it
as a transient. Although I
thou@ht that - we though it was one
or - uh - was the suggestion
of one that you might want to
have a little more S052. And
that's the reason for going back
to Stm center and - uh - giving
it a extended scanner. So, that
completes the debriefing for
this rev and we'll pick you up
again at 14 :41.

double-check that. Well the back now
reads 41 which is what it ought to read.
That's five photos there since I took
one extra to verify it's operation was -
normal. Okay. I'll not do anything to
the adjustments now except take out the
UV camera and - uh - change the film
cassette. Now one other thing about the
stability, I got it - uh - working a
little better this time, at the optic site
is the thing that you gotta be most
careful of because that's the thing your
eye rests against. Now if it isn't
•.. we can ... every now and then.
And up on the top of the - uh - site,
the optical site, there's a little
decal that says to change the battery
alld so on.

- 2&9 ll 59 32 SPT I've run a piece of gray tape about

8 - 6 or 8 inches long from that - uh -
battery - uh - housing over to the top
 Dump Tape 249-02
Page 3 of 16

of the frame, and then another one

from the bottom of the battery housing
down to the bottom of this little
rectangular frame. And that hold_ the
optical site in there very firmly. And -
uh - your eye can be up against it, and
touch it and it just doesn't jiggle around.
And it makes a very significant improve-
ment on the stability with which you can -
uh - track objects. Now I put some
gray tape on the camera - uh - foot as
well, but it is probably less critical
because there's nothing touching the -
uh - camera at this point. Uh - with
the exception of when we try to take
those two rapid exposures.

249 12 00 18 SPT But - uh - looks like that pass went off

as planned and I'll be securing here,
changing the film, getting set up for
the next pass. This message - uh - goes
_ to - uh - There'sone more thingI
wanted to talk about, it goes to the
same people. Uh - this message goes to
the S063 PIs, the ... Wally Teague,
Jack Lew and any others interested in
S063.

249 12 00 43 SPT And - uh - I wanted to comment on this

aurora that we saw last night. Uh -
right after sunset - uh - took a look
out the STS window towards the North at 00 -
0305, 0305 and saw very extensive aurora
to the North. Uh - we were all prepared with
Nikon 03, 35-millimeter lens, fl.h with
the CI film that we've been using. And
very fortunately the horizon was nearly
perpendicular to the STS window.

2_9 12 01 16 Sl°T So - uh - took a couple of one-second

exposures, and then switched to Bravo on
the timer and - uh - took a couple of
manual 4-second exposures even though
that wasn't included on the pad, just to
make sure that we were getting plenty of -
uh - uh - exposure. And also, perhaps,
to catch some of the higher altitude aurora
 Dump Tape 249-02
Page 4 of 16

which was - uh - much more dim. And

so we have - I think it was a total of
6 or 7 frames of either 1-second and
4-second exposures. Uh - now the aurora
itself - uh - what - you could see the
aurora arc to begin with - it showed an
arc across the Earth's terrain ... Uh -
it was for the most part, or a good part
of it was even below the horizon airglow.
And so part of the aurora was closer to
us than the horizon - the majority of it.
It was greeny in color, I couldn't see
any red, and - uh - towards the end of
the - uh - period - we could see it for a
full five minutes there, the arc extended
out away from the spacecraft toward the
horizon and the aurors tended to blend in
with the 80 kilometer airglow.

249 12 02 26 SPT Now above it, very faintly, you could see -
--_ uh'- streamers,very thin striationsin the
aurora extending from much higher altitude.
And again my guess is - uh - from oh, 100
on up to 200 - 250 kilometers. Very thin
rays, very dim but thin rays more - more
or less vertical ap - apparently aligned '
with the magnetic field could be seen.
And so that was one of the purposes of
the 4-second exposure, it was an attemot
to - uh - uh - get some of the photography
of this higher altitude - uh - ray-like
structure. So - uh - that's the general
description of it, and - uh - these par-
ticular frames are noted on the - uh -
film load - CI film load. And I hope that
the developers take special pains to -
uh - print this film to the higher ASA
rating. So - not just develop it along
with the rest. So that we can get some
photographs of the auroras. It was probably
the most extensive auroral display we've
seen. And - uh - uh - perhaps the most
interesting. It's the higher altitude stuff,
150 to - 100 to 250 didn't seem quite as
bright as that which we saw near the
South Pole on Mission Day 6. But still it
was a very good one and probably the most
extensive one that - uh - we've seen.
 Dump Tape 2)49-02
Page 5 of 16

2h9 12 03 59 SPT Uh - incidentally, about three hours

previous to this, right after sunset, we
noticed that we'd seen the - uh - aurora
... Hope I got the pronunciation right.
Uh - and so we saw both the northern and
southern auroral - uh - lights within a
few hours of each other presumably they're
related to the same - uh not a disturbance -
uh - magnetic field and - uh - I hope that
we're in good - we're in for a few more days
of this since we've been having a lot of
flaring.

2h9 12 0h 32 SPT Okay, now, this is the end of the message to

the S063 PIs, Wally Teague and (static)
Lew and I'll be securing the - uh - comm
with the next pass in an hour and a quarter
or so.

249 12 24 31 CDR Okay, this is the CDR debriefing - uh -

the ... for the ATM pass and I'm debriefing
_ the run at 11:30. Things went well,
nominal as can be up until - uh - I finished
building chip 4D of JOP 2A, step i.
At which-time I got a call from the ground
to go over and look at a possible ...
transient 090. So I went over to sun
center and looked at that for a few minutes,
didn't think I saw anything, looked at
it some more - wait - no, I didn't - I
didn't think I saw anything so I gave
it ... of standard. After I finished with
the standard, I - uh - went back to look
at it some more, and it looked to me
like at 090 instead of having distortion
in the corona which we've seen as transients
before it looked like the streamer right
there had an unusual brightening, the
lower - uh - about 3/4 of the radiance
of it. In other words, it was tri-
angular-shaped, not exactly a good tri-
angle. It was - uh - seem as a helmet
streamer, except the real helmet part,
the dome part, was exceptionally bright.
It had a little dome on it.

249 12 25 48 CDR So I called up our vlsitin expert, one

Dr. Owen Garriott who looked at it, and
 Dump Tape 249-02
Page 6 of 16

we both agreed that it looked like it

was something different and it was probably
a transient. So we went to - uh -
building block 8B, and we looked at it
pretty hard. And we decided extended
standard was appropriate, so we gave it
extended standard.

CDH We gave it a MIRROR AUTO RASTER zero. We

looked at the X-RAY SPECT where it said
... - M30L-64, we had something like eight
or nine minutes left, so we decided to
give it an M30S-56, so we thought that
would be the best thing could happen ...
time available.

2h9 12 26 27 CDR We started off on a - uh - patrol long,

and we felt then after a while that that
wasn't gonna do the job, so we went back
to a patrol normal on 56. And we gave
no other instruments anything else. Just
_ about a minutebefore the end I went back
and looked at it again and found that it
was still the same length, but it was
still.a brightening there. We'll have to
look at it the next rev and see what we
think. Now just about two minutes before
sunset, we got a beryllium 2, with a
indication of about 3900 which isn't
enough for a flare; we did have a kick-off
on the X-RAY but it went down just a little -
half.

249 12 27 07 CDR So I was ready to go down - what it was

was active region 12, I could see it down
there ... flaring; it was not really
bright. UV monitor was not standing out
particularly, ... H-alpha was a little
bit bright. But have to class that as a
pre-flare - uh - event, maybe a brighten-
ing, maybe it never got up above the
limits that we've set here through your
notes that said don't go do anything
unless you do it ... So - uh - that's
r the end of the briefing.

2_9 12 27 43 CDR CDR out. That's for the A_! pass.

it's way down there.

249 13 28 33 SPT MARK. End of mark. Okay, I got 'em

in on the same target, just barely.
It barely made that one in. Come back
to the end, re-cock the two levers. My
next pair is also a double, at 3 -.. 29
it's coming up right now, went to 2700
first, and that's what I've got in right
now. Ah, I have 3200, I'm switching
it to 27. Okay. Now we're ready to
track again. Still is at - uh - this
is 1-second, timer is switched to 1-sec-

249 13 29 24 SPT MARK. UV. That's the end of the UV,

there's the visible, switching filters.

249 13 29 40 SPT MARK. That's the end of the ride - at

the end again. Okay, got two ... pictures
in it that time. I am pulled back, ...
to - uh - reset my two levers. Reengage
the Vernier drive. Next time I'm
waiting for is 13:30:30 which is 30 sec-

move it down to 2700. 30:30 is my time
I want 8 seconds. 8 seconds set there.
And 8 seconds up ther ... track. And
I'm tracking. Very bright.

249 13 30 47 SPT MARK. UV exposure, visible; end of the

UV. I don't know why it's so bright
out there. Cloud cover, boy, is that ...
hot. Yeah, in fact it must be right at
zero angle, and boy, is it bright ....
it really hurts your eyes. Have to
squint. Next one is at 33:30 and it's
at 2700. Okay, the last one was made
at 2700. So on the 8-second exposure,
I ran out of time, I didn't get to filter
switched so we have a - it looks like
two 2700-angstromexposuresat 8 seconds.

Wait for 33:30, which is a minute and

a half. Boy, that's awful bright out
there. Okay, I took the visible camera
frames remaining between passes. It
was counted down to 41, as it should
have ... which we don't have to worry
about frames. We're right on schedule.
Okay at this point our - uh - UV camera
is sitting on frame of 25, which will be
the next frame, 25. Coming up on 33,
30 seconds to go til frame number 9.

249 13 33 14 SPT Okay, I got the right filter. 15 seconds,

I don't even see the horizon yet. So we
can't quite do that 'til I can see the

And, the UV is alreadyback.

249 13 38 28 SPT Okay, I got to be able to see the horizon.

I can't see the horizon. From our pad
there's - oh, _7:30, excuse me. We got .'.
lO minutes. Got a long time to wait.
Okay, there are a couple of extra visible
things floating around - Ah, I heard it
go - and expect you can account for those
on the data telemetry. But I've given
the proper marks on all the others.
Okay, we're waiting for about another 8
or 9 minutes here until we can see the
horizon.

Bot the site all the way up to the
top. I's gonna be manual exposure,
32-seconds .... 32. The other set
doesn't really made any difference,
they're not going to be . .. anyway.
Okay, I'll hold it to 32 to begin.
... to manual exposure. And I'll
get a visible - I'll re-cock the
visible lever. I'm going to leave
the UV lever uncocked, so it
will not trigger. My UV frames
remaining at this point is 21.
Okay, sorry to be so plagued with
operator errors. Looks like
almost every run there's either
one or two minor or more major,
depending on how it looks at the
time, problem. Let's see . .. Italy,
Sicily is right out through the
UV mirror right now, Isn't that
sanething down there, Al? NOtice
all that smoke or dust or something
coming off that little island
off a - north of Sicily.

2h9 13 41 58 SPT I don't know what that is maybe

that' s - urelated to that little island.
Maybe it's a cloud. But it's a
beautiful, clear day. That old

whole shooting match.

249 13 hl 20 SPT Son of a gun. Okay, as I was saying,

sorry to be plagued with these

lO frames here. Maybe - uh - not
ture, quite the number. By not
having that motor drive switch set.

I moved it out of T when I was -

uh - changing - uh - changing the
film And although I thought I'd
checked all settings that was one
that I missed. As far as I know
that's about the only - uh -
no, missed one filter on this last
- uh - sequence also. I noticed
one other funny, that you ought to
look for on the last film load,
BV15. This is now BV16 that I've
got in here. - Uh - when you take
the UV camera out, of course, it
is cocked. I then had the twin
filter on there and didn't want to
get any fingerprints or do any damage
to it, so I carefully took the
filters and lens off the Nikon 02.
And I then went to unload the -
tth - cassette. Now as you return, -
uh - as you go to rewind it, you
_ must switchthe leverfrom off -
from A, for aavance to R, for
retract. When you switch that little
knob from A to R, it puts the
mirror up and back. I don't know .'
exactly how long the mirror is
flipped out of position. But, it
leaves me with the impression that
that exposes what@vet film at that
point is behind - uh - the mirro
to ambient light. So, that was a
point I was uh - unaware of, but
I didn't notice it and I - uh -
prepared for the removal of BV15.
And if that's the case it's possible
that - _i - uh - the first of the -
tLh - calibration - frames - frames
rosy have been exposed and light may
have leadked a little bit on either
sides of it. I don't know, but -
uh - that may be - may have may have
been the implications of that. So
that was one funny I know that's on
the unloading of BV15.

249 13 44 15 SPT Okay. We're now coming up to where

I can see the horizon - uh -

I'ii be able to rrack it here
shortly.

249 13 44 31 SPT This exposure should begin at

approximately 47: 30, which is
still 3 minutes away. Should
be for 32 seconds. - uh -
I thought we'd be over the
Crimea. Are we? Okay, just
looking out at the Crimea here, and -
uh - rather interesting. Over
here on the - uh - thick
side of it and there's this long
think bar looks almost like a
dike, but it's really just a
long thin strip. Beautiful view.
Lots of cultivation in the Crimea,
obviously. Couple of great big -
uh - traps [?] lakes where
there - uh - a red hue, presumably
f _ of eitheriodineor some - uh -
microbiological growth. I don't
know. Lot of it is pretty salty
I expect. 45:30; 2 more minutes.

2_9 13 h5 h_ SPT Okay, our VISIBLE lever is cocked;

our UV lever is not. In order to
track the horizon at this time,
I may be, beyond the point where
the - uh - the VISIBLE will
yrigger. Or I will of have
already triggered it, perhaps. So
I've recocked my VISIBLE lever,
right now. I may trigger a
little bit early, I don't know if the
visible picture's important to
you here. you got one minute to
go. Thenon 32 and I'm gonna give
you a manual exposure, on the

20 seconds. Okay, the horizon is
fairly distinct down there, I
believe. Looks like I'll be
able to see it 8/1 right. Okay,
I'm gonna track down, pick it
up now so we get a VISIBLE trigger
here a little early, and there
went the VISIBLE trigger. Okay,
I'm on the horizon.

249 13 58 077 PLT Okay, space fans; this is Jack on

channel A, debriefing the last ATM
run which began on 13:07. Uh -
before I did the VTR, I went ahead
and - uh - uh - want to make sure
that I got the right roll for S052,
so - uh - I delayed on the VTR until
- uh - the proper orientation -
uh - uh - was was take and - uh - so
the first thing I did was to -
uh - to start off with JOP 6 and then
to I Alpha and to i Bravo. Lrn - at
the end of I Bravo, when the roll was
plus 5400, the optimum for 52, -
uh - I - uh - did the VTR. I gave
you some S052 and I - uh - gave you -
uh - two - uh - XUV MON, integrated
sequences. And then I - uh - took
in a tour of the - uh - active region
of the Sun.

249 13 59 07 PLT And then I took you on a tour of the

limb. And I noticed on the limb that -
uh - we have a couple of prominences that
you didn't - uh - send up on the
solar activity pad - pad. On very
nice one - uh - appeared to be - uh -

I could get on the. I twas
located at about 300, and the other
prominence that I noted - uh -
was - uh - of reasonable size,

249 13 59 48 PLT Anybody want to tske a look at

those? Uh - then I went on and
did the JOP 12 Dog and had about -
uh - 7 or 8 minutes left, so
what I did was go back to S_uu
center plus 5400 roll and - uh -
gave - uh - 52 an extended scanner
and I did run it into - right
down to - uh - actual sunset. And
I did the same thing with the
mirror auto raster, all detectors
at the grating all balls.

_f_ 2_9 14 O0 15 PLT Again the fact that we have a -

uh - possible coronal transient - uh -
in progress, I did look at that.
Uh - it looked a little more
bright on - uh - the streamer
in question that - uh - than -
uh - typical, although I'm not
sure that I could identify it
as a transient. Although I
thought that - we though it was one
or - uh - was the suggestion
of one that you might want to
have a little more S052. And
that's the reason for going back
to St_a center and - uh - giving
it a extended scanner. So, that
completes the debriefing for
this ray aud we'll pick you up
again at 14:_l.

f 2_9 l_ 55 57 CDR CDR, answering the questions on 131-10GI.

The - uh - by the way, the ga - the - uh -
-- nitrogen's uh _ 1200 pounds. Questions are:
did you have _ sense of rotating or other-
_rlse moving during test? I sure did. And
I noticed I've got tremendous right bias.
For example, I can look out and see that
I'm not roving .... and in Just a few
seconds I can see the line moving to the
right. So my data sho_s, I suspect, a real
right bias. And that small . .. his right,
still ... his right. Other - sometimes I
could even hear the thing run a little bit
slightly. I'd hear it go - start up - and
I'd see myself going right, and then I'd
hear it slo_ down and I'd see m_self going
right. But ~ called it like I saw it.

2_9 lh 56 _5 CDR Did the last target ever move in a direction

other than expected? Yeah! It did. Some-
times when I_d open my eyes before I'd focous -
uh - the line would actually be klnda of
cattycorner. The vertleal line would be
vertical, but the little horizontal lines
would be klnda tipped. It was always the
left one_ was slightly above the right one.
:f" So I took my right - my left eye had
drifted down relative my right e_e. Then
_hen I'd look at it - it looked tipped up.
And it would lock in real quick. It's
kind of give me a - a start.

2h9 lh 57 16 CDR Additional comments: None other than - uh -

I've got ~ feel that Itma lot less sinsitive
to turning than I was prior to flying. And
for some reason I've got this right ...
Itls going to be interesting _hen we get
back to Earth, to - uh - see vhat it's like.
It's also going to be interesting to feel
the dur - an engine burn in entry. Because -
uh - it might cause me to think that I'm
turning or tipping. It's going to be
interesting to see. CDR out. That goes to
Biomed and 131 comment.

2h9 15 28 50 CDR Okay, this is the CDR, ... the - uh -

the chair. This goes to Biomed - 131-1.
Something I'd like to mention is I
haven't been doing as much tumbling and
spinning in the workshop the last week
or so. Just - uh - been doing other
things. And - uh - I noticed that - uh -
(Music) I was much dizzier on the run
although I didn't have any feeling of
sickness. I did - uh - pans a littel
more gas. I ran at 30 rpm also, instead
of 25, but mostly I think it was the
fact I have not been spinning much in
the workshop so my spinning sensors are
not as desensitized as the normally are.

249 15 29 35 CDR Everything went well. Uh - I think what

you need to do for the next crew is -
come up with some little adapters to
fit on these - uh - uh - little sensors.
Because I move my head just like I do
on Earth, hut you're sitting so far out
of the chair here in zero g that - uh -
you don't touch them. same thing for
the backrest. I'd reco_mlend that whay
you do is - uh - get a little pad for
the backrest that raises it. And get
some little adapters that you could put
on these feelers so that they could move
them up and out. And the guys can have
more - uh - ability to adjust them and
then get the little ... with their heads
as you would like. We tried but we ...
CDR, out.

249 15 31 ii PLT Okay space fans. This is Jack again on

Channel A, debriefing the last ATM run.
Switched again at 14:41. We did - we
did a JOP 2 Alfa on active region 12.
And - uh - that was Just a matter of -
uh - getting the - uh - bright area
inside the auto raster somewhere. And -
uh - 56 was going for two patrol short.
The first uh ... I only gave them one to
save a little film.
Dump Tape 2h9-03
Page3 of 3

249 15 31 44 PLT And I picked up his patrol normal on the

next shift. Uh - when I'm in - uh -
5 Bravo and - uh - 5 Charlie and 5 Delta
as advertised - then we got down to - uh -
J0P 6 and I ran that off. And - uh -
the thing I did different there - uh -
• .. real-time was to omit - uh - 56 patrol
normal - patrol shot this region got
one up there in - uh - JOP 2 Alfa. And
the rest of that went as planned. Uh -
I had no time left over and so - uh -
course I viewed the - uh - cornoa with -
uh - S052 and - uh - found that the -
uh - region we were looking at this
morning in regard to being a transient
appeared about the same as it was this
morning. And - uh - did give the
appearance on our monitor of - uh - ...
being an outstanding transient but it -
uh - didn't really look a little bit
brighter - uh - although it - uh - did
not appear to change from ealier today.

249 15 33 O0 PLT Therefore, we - uh - left that after

having performed our standard mode and -
tth - went down to active region 19 -
uh -noticing that - uh - it's probably
the one that's going to be ... longest
now and it's a fairly bright area. Uh -
so I - uh - picked the brightest spot I
could find and picked it up on ... detectors
and - uh - ran off a grating auto scan
on detectos 1 and 2. I gave 82 B a -
uh - 1/lO-seeond exposure, wavelength
short. And 56 got a 135 - uh - single-
frame short.

249 15 33 36 PLT So - uh - that cares of this run, and -

uh - we'll back in about in 1/2 hour.
Thank you.

I'm on a - uh - ... likely to flare

came to - uh - active 1 long for

on the monitor.

2h9 18 38 23 PLT And - uh - with the time that I

had, why I - uh - vent down to

probably ought to be fired over there
to - uh - my friend Robert Boud.
This conerns the readings I took _ith
the sound level meter, and the
frequency analyzer. The positions that
I - uh - took these readings at
are outlined in the message 4032 Delta,
positions A thru H. And - uh - you can
find the message and find out what
those positions are, but - uh -
I'll read - uh - eight position -
uh - starting with the ambient noise
level and going on through the eight
frequencies. So there will be nine
readings for each location. Location
Alfa: ambient was 49, there 46, 47.5,

Bravo: 50.5, 48, 46.5, 49.5, 43, 34, 25,

Golf are some - uh - pretty darn good
golf scores, aren't they, Bob?
Now all that data is - uh - also in
my log on page i-5 of the - uh -
Evaluation Experiment Checklist and
they should correlate with that.
One other note; I noticed that -
uh - on - uh - two or three occasions,
the - uh - the - uh - sound level
for some particular prequency was
higher than the ambient noise level.

I'm not sure that's technically

uh - I Just finished, and let me check
what time that one was. It began at
19:18, (cough) went completely nominal.
I kept an eye on - uh - H-alpha 2 and
XUV M0N for anything of interest. The
active region for the present, found
nothing, - uh - towards the end - I
finished about 6 minutes early - so I
went over to active region 9 and - tub -
did - uh - _CIRROR AUTO RASTER there Just

2_9 21 05 00 PLT Okay, space fans, here we are again, -

uh - this is earth resources, pass num-
ber 16 and - uh - we're about lO minutes
from run time. Let's go through the
checklist here. Got the 190 window open,
verified, there's light coming in it
and - uh - we a]ready ran your D-6 and
now we're going to check all the readings
on the monitors and - uh - read them
down to you. Here _ go.

okay. Delta 4, 71 percent, okay. Delta 5,
14 percent, okay. Delta 6, 57 percent,
okay.

249 21 07 43 PLT Now let's read these extra here that you
got on the card. Bravo 7 was 30 percent.
Bravo 8 was 1 percent. Charlie 7 was
51 percent, which is - uh - less than
80, so cooler stays on. Charlie 8, the
tape recorder ... off the fuel high,
_-_ and we Just loaded it and Delta 6 again
is 57 percent. Alfa 2 and Charlie 4
are the culprits at the m_uent. Alfa 2,
detector l, Charlie h, detector ll, auto-
matic gain, uh, it's got to come down
a little bit, Charlie 4 needs to come
down, and Alfa 2 needs to come down.
Seems like to me they were the same problem
the other day but they came around okay.

we ran - it was for me. And - uh - to begin
with the - uh - the numbers were - the
needle was moving all over the place,
as if it had a short in it. We shok
th ends of thyconneetors and all that -
didn't have any luck. My guess is
that we = we've somehow lost an SIB -
or this - uh - cable. And we got a
short in it, maybe to ground or somewhere,
hut - uh - I guess we're looking for
advice on what to do and the time to do
ti. As for the next person's run, we can
get him in there - schedule it early
enough. Schedule the run plus troubleshoot-
ing. We'll get him in there if it doesn't
work we'll sidconnect the SIB and stick on
a new one and try. If that doesn't work
we'll put the old SIB on and put on the -
uh - a new cable. But anyhow, we've -
uh - this has taken up time. We've missed
our vent window, and as I say, the symptom
are that it won't pass the isolation, it
passes ... And - uh - if you hold on to

uh - already debriefed by A1 .... all wen
normally except that we got a voice
conference which started right at about -
uh - 12 minutes ... betting started on
the - uh - pedaling I didn't get
started until about 11:30 - uh -

249 16 56 34 PLT Delta at that pointing. 82B got - uh -

4G-seconds and 240-second shor texposures
all the way down the line. Whenever we
had a S056 in there - uh - instead of
giving them activyl long we gave them
a single frame 135 short, in order to
save some film. If - uh - we're getting
a little too stingy with your film yand
compromising data, we wish you'd let us
know. Mirror auto rasters came off
as published and - uh - so did S054. I
had no time at the end of the orbit, and'
as you reported a small flare - uh -
was on its way in active region 19, I -
uh - went over in that area and - uh -
. I did find that bright point in active
region 19 with the detect - detectors
Dump Tape 249-04
Page 3 of 6

and - uh - I ran a grading auto scan on

it in detector i and 2. And also gave
you a single frame 135 short for
S056. And - uh - the grading auto scan
ran a littlybit into - uh - effective
uh - sunset. So that completes - uh -
this orbit, and one other point I
mentioned was that - uh - on the south-
west side of active region - uh - 19.
ANd had I had more time I'd of loked to
have gone over and - uh - done a little
filament work on that, but maybe we'll
have to save that for the next rev because
I didn't - I felt that the data would be
compromised because of effective sunset if
I was to - uh - take that. Uh - I just
didn't have enough ti_e to set up where -
where the bright - uh - came a lot
easier.

229 17 03 06 PLT And so that concludes the debriefing or

this rev and - o_h - we'll pick you up
again in aobut a half hour. Thank you.

229 17 05 33 SPT Okay, comment from the SOT for Wally Teagu
and Jack Lew relative to S063 operation. •
Uh - first of all I wanted to talk about
the - uh - loss of those I0 frames this
morning, Wally and Jack. Uh - this
happened similar to thy way I lost those
i0 the other day - uh - several weeks ago,
except the first - the ifrst time I
lost it - it was definitely not in T -
the motor funciton ... was just
barely out of T, I took a careful look
at it and it was just slightly rotated
away. But the - uh - uh - the - uh -
functioning of the camera was the ... as
if it was it was Just cycling continuous.
Uh - makes me think that perhaps two weeks
ago or whenever that was it migh have last
been in ... and then rotated nearly to T.
And - uh - that would of come out - left th
function still in ... because it had
been there last. That's the only thing
Dump Tape 249-04
Page 4 of 6

I can think of that might partially

explain what happened a couple of weeks
ago.

249 17 13 27 SPT I've also nitieed that - uh - when you

pulll the camera out of it's - uh -
uh - clip over there in the film vault -
that - _h - ther is - _uh - sometimes that
changesthat functionrate setting. I've
had it on T. And pulled it out, and
it'll be isightly rotated out of T like
I found two or three weeks ago. And of
course that - uh - you know that might
explain if it doesn't - explain whay I
haven't got it checked right. So, no
need to chang e procedures or anything, I
just ... (whistle) And today I dont know
I happened to overlook ... fiml in the
camera, but though I rechecked it very
carefully a couple of times, I just
did not. So that'sabout20 frames
altogether. I've blown that way and -
uh - Bravo Victor cassette available. I
guess that'll vie S063 approximately the
correct number of frames altogether.
Uh - incidentally, you might make sure
that - uh - they're getting extra Bravo
Victor fiml on - uh - the next flight.
There's no reason to be running this
close to empty. We should take up
35-millimeter film - uh - just any place.
We havyprefect storage for it here in
the film vault and there's jus no
reason to he pinched this tightly for
that - uh - 485 film. So - uh - make
sure - uh - if you will, I got a strong
recon_nendation that we take 2 or 3 or
4 extra cassettes of that film. It can
also be used _n a hand-held camera for
night time photography, so we don't have
to use the CI film. (Music) And - uh -
I would reiterate again - uh - to -
uh - Let's see, who would be the bes
person -
 Dump Tape 249-04
Page 5 of 6

249 17 15 20 SPT I'd reiterate that message to John McKee

and Albert (?) both, that a strong
recommendation from me is to take up
another Nikon camera body. We don't
really ahve quite enough right now. Uh -
we could have used a fourth for this black
and white - uh - fast film. And - uh -
we could have had it ... available for
things like aurora and airglow. And
as it is we have to use the CI film which
is not a very good substitution because we
have no ... with film available now for
things like - uh night photography of
cities and so on. We're having to use
Ci.

249 17 16 00 SPT And now back to S063: Uh - the operations

of two filters on the same target can't
be done once I do the procedure item. And
I'm glad you called that up to me the
f_ other day so I - uh - quit making- uh -
that mistake of trying to get to the - uh
auto exposures both times. Uh - I would
like to suggest one other way to make
it even better, and that is both the frame
should be manual. And the way that that
would be done - would be that you wold
start tracking at the bottom of the ring,
press off the first UV photo, and then
switch filters, keep tracking the saem
target, and at some point during the middl
a visible camera will trigger, and
whenever you're ready, - uh - trigger
the second UV. As it is, we only have
about half the travel to get the second
UV photo in because we got to wait until
the first one goes at about mid scale.
Besides, if we could trigger them both
manually starting at the lower end it
would give us at least 50 percent more
time. And - uh - I'd like your comment
- uh - back up as soon as possible,
certainly before the next run, as to
whether this modified procedure would be
satisfactory for - uh - making - uh -
the - uh - two-2ay length exposures on
the same target. I think it can be done -
uh - essentially more easily if - uh -
both of these UV photographs are done -
 Dump Tape 249-04
Page 6 of 6

uh - manually. End of S063 con_nents to

- uh - Walley Teague and Jack Lew, and
- uh - might as well send them also to the

249 18 37 15 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack again

on channel A, debriefing the last
ATM run, which - uh - started at 17:46.
I'm on a - uh - ... likely to flare
in active region 12. Uh - this pointing
was a little bit different than the -
uh - pointing previously on the
JOP 2 Deltas, from the previous rev.
Although it was - uh - in the same
area, it was - uh - covering a
different part of the - uh - bright
area along the ... And they ran off
six JOP 2 Alfas. And whereever I
came to - uh - active 1 long for
S056, I substituted a - u_h - had
a bright spot reported - uh - in
active region 15, which I also saw
on the monitor.

2h9 18 38 23 PLT And - uh - with the time that I

_. had, why I - uh - went down to
• it, and maximized detectors on it
and - uh - ran a grating auto scan
in detectors 1 and 2. And also - uh -
another set of single frames, filters
l, 3, 5, short. Uh, them to the end
of third extinction, starting at
about - uh - 15 to 20 seconds
late, because I wanted to finish the
grating auto scan, or the bright spot
in active region 15, but - uh -
started the - uh - atmospheric
extinction for the mirror line scan
detector all balls - that's about 145.
And - uh - got the - uh - S052 on
on time and - uh - that completed the
rev. So - uh - that completes my
debriefing and - uh - in a half hour
or so. Thank you.

487-1. Alfa. This information

probably ought to be fired over there
to - uh - my friend Robert Boud.
This conerns the readings I took "_ith
the sound level meter, and the
frequency analyzer. The positions that
I - uh - took these readings at
are outlined in the message 4032 Delta,
positions A thru H. And - uh - you can
find the message and find out what
those positions are, but - uh -
I'll read - uh - eight position -
uh - starting with the ambient noise
level and going on through the eight
frequencies. So there will be nine
readings for each location. Location
Alfa: ambient was 49, there 46, 47.5,
47, 41, 35, 24, 21, and 10. Position
Bravo: 50.5, 48, 46.5, 49.5, 43, 34, 25,
20.5, 10. Position Charlie : 56, 51,
50.5, 57.5, 58, 51, 27, 20.5, and 9-

249 .18 41 59 PLT Position Delta: 43, 44, 41, 43, 34, 26, 21,
13.5, and 8. Position Echo: 51,
and then 51, 47, 51, 44.5, 38, 29, 26,
and 14. Position Fox: 58, 62, 60,
57.5, 52, 48.5, 43, 39.5 and 27.
Position Golf - which is where we all
want to position ourselves right now.
Ambient, 61.5, 61, 56, 55, 52.5, 51.5,
46.5, 44.5, and 34. Position Hotel:
35, 63, 60.5, 63, 58, 54, 47, 45.5,
37. And those numbers after position
Golf are some - tub - pretty darn good
golf scores, aren't they, Bob?
Now all that data is - uh - also in
my log on page i-5 of the - uh -
Evaluation Experiment Checklist and
they should correlate with that.
One other note; I noticed that -
uh - on - _uh - two or three occasions,
the - uh - the - uh - sound level
for some particular prequency was
higher than the ambient noise level.

I'm not sure that's technically

possible, but - uh - that's the
way the readings came out and -
uh - all the others are - uh -
below the ambient noise level.
So that's it for 80 - 487-1A.

249 18 44 15 PLT And, thank you.

uh - sighting on uh - work on 19 - I'd
give S056 a 6-minute ex!__osure - with
a filter 5, which I did. I found also
a limb of the Sun Just above - uh -

that's the most you can get for them.
And it takes 6 frames. I'm going to

250 00 51 19 PLT Okay, space fans_ this is Jack on

channel A, debriefing the last ATM
run, starting at 23:58. I got your
J0P 12 Fox Trot with no problem. We
ran through a building time. I did
your shopping list item 13 with a
roll of plus 5400. Both filters
3 and 4 on the 56 and k uh - then

I started to perform - uh -

250 00 52 44 PLT I got his - uh - 5-minute full exposure -

and - uh - it went into effective
sunset partially and I only had
about a minute and a half left. I
decided not to get the - uh - WAVE
LONG. So the only thing I'm missing
was the XUV WAVE LONG on exposure 5 -
uh - ... This ends the debriefing.

250 00 00 5B CDR Okay, SO19, I'm getting ready to give

you a mark. Stand by, this will be
an opening.

• 250 00 53 i0 CDR MARK. You got an opening on field N8,

it's gonna be frame 142.

250 00 53 _4 CDR This is the CDR back again. I gave you

mark without a lot of introduction
but that was S019. It's locationis
•• 000.7 inasmuch as the NUz is minus -

minus 1.3. The old NU Z was minus 0.9,

that's the difference you got O.h
and add it up. The rotation 000.7;
tilt, 19.6; field N8; frame lh2; cassette
3; prism, in and this is a 16-minute
exposure, unwidened. I'll be back.
I didn't turn my watch very accurately so
I'll shut off it all - what I think
is the right time, but you're gonna
have to take the mark on these tapes
very accurately. As opposed to just
accepting the 16 minutes. Don't know
whether you do that everytime or not,
be sure to do it in this case.

250 00 54 36 CDR CDR, power off for awhile.

250 01 09 02 CDR Okay, CDR again. We're getting ready

to stop this 16-minute exposure.
Recall that I mentioned earlier that
I didn't get a good time hack. I'm
giving you my best estimate which
 Dump Tape 250-01
Page h of h

maybe as much as 5 seconds or so

in error. You got to check your timing
against this exposure. Stand by S019.

250 01 09 23 CDR MARK. Okay, that was the end of

field N8, frame number 142. I'm
going to the next one now.

250 01 09 h9 CDR 1710, 9.1, okay, I'm picking up a

new frame. Stand by for the next
one. I'll try to get a better
hack on this one for you. Stand by -

250 01 i0 01 CDR MARK. I just started the frame 143,

field SMC_ SMC. This information on
• all S019 goes to Wally Teagueand
Dr. Karl Henize. I'll be back in
another 16 minutes.

250 01 2_ 27 CDR Okay, CDR back on again - uh - we're

gettingready to approachsunrise.
Now we're not gonna be able to make
a 16-minute exposure as we hoped.
It looks like the best we can do is
for a 15 minute, because we don't want
to take any chances on sunrise. So
I'm gonna give a mark at 15 minutes.
Remember that it is difficult to
start your watch, open this, and give
a mark at the same time. So it's
important to - uh - doublecheck your
time on here against mine. This is
gonna be a 15-minute mark.

250 01 25 O1 CDR MARK. 15-minute exposure on field

SMC, frame number 143, and that's it
for right now. That information on
SO19 which has been spread out over
the last 32 minutes goes to Dr. Karl

250 03 05 18 SPT SPT on channel A with a message

for Doctor Paul Buchanan. Item i:
yes, I found the glucose - uh - tubes
in the side pocket of the injectable
kit. I had not been aware that
they were - or had not been aware that
there was that side pocket, and I found
it just as you suggested. Now item 2
relates to exeerise done by the SPT
over the last week. Mission day 41,
which was today: 5100 watts delivered
in 30 minutes. That's 170 watts average,
which you will notice is above the
maximum level which I'do on 171 for
5 minutes, except I delivered in 30
minutes straight. This work 20 minutes
of Mark I 60 As, 30 Bs and 30 Ds.
On mission day 40, yesterday: 30 minutes,
4900 watts for 25 minutes of Mark I and
70 As, 60 Bs and 60 Ds. On mission day
f_ 39:45 minutes, 5400 watts. The average
in the mid low because I ran 3 MI71
protocols for - uh - data purposes as
uh - Ed Michaels probably remembers.
Mission day 38: 20 minutes, 2900 watts
plus an M71 - uh - 171 run. That
will put the average again about 5,000
watt-minutes. Mission day 37: 30 minutes,
h500 watt-minutes plus 20 minutes of Mark I
60 As, 60 Bs and 60 Ds.

250 03 06 51 SPT Mission day 36:30 minutes 5,000 watts plus

25 minutes on the Mark I with 90As 60Bs and
60Ds. Mision day 35 I missed. And then I
could keep going back on to mission day
34, and so on. So it doesn't looks like
I'm averaging and have been - uh -
5,000 watts or so far the last - uh -
week, and - uh - including that Mark I.
And - uh - I'd - uh -'request - uh -
an - uh - to find out whether or not this
agrees with the - uh - information on
excersise that you have on the down-link,
Paul. All of this was read down on the

Evening Status Report, and - uh -

I believe it was read on time. None
of it was reported late, so it should
have been read in with the normal Status
Report each evening. Uh - this message
goes to Doctor Paul Buchanan from the
SPT. Message out.

250 03 i0 02 SPT One other comment data transcriber from

the SPT. Please get back that last
message - uh - to Doctor Bruce [sic]

in the medical directorate because I want

might have done that wrong. No, it was
right. When you get close to a zero

wait the right amount of time. Just
wait till it gets to be where you want it.

that one session right there. Let
me get a little bit of corn flakes
now, and we'll start in another session.

confirm that.

250 13 41 57 PLT Sometime we gotta bump off that - uh -

star to horizon business but there a -
well, there's no horizon out there.
We need to get a - uh - ... higher
thanwe got now. Thinkwhat we got
now is close to zero. Started to get
those - star to horizon sightings. .'
But at night the horizon's on - on the
other side of the spacecraft - from
where we work with the sextant. Well,
that takes care of the corn flakes.
Looks kinda mushy. Left my breakfast
and went up to get that flare,
everything sat dowlq here - about an
hour. If your wife ever serves you
cold breakfast you can holler about
it, cook your own, you don't say tto
much.

after all these marks and what-not I've
taken what kind of data we - what kind of
orbit we've figured out we're in - from
this data.

250 13 54 51 PLT MARK. 6.709. That's gonna be it. That's

enough for another session at least and
more. So we're gonna call it a night on
this - uh - TO02. Temperature of the
sextant is now 74 degrees. We did our
zero biases already, so we're in good
shape. Sun's coming up. I consider that
to be enough marks for two l_ore sessions
of star to Moon. And like I ss/d, in
my tally it's - uh - all of 'erawe need
to do. So - uh - I'll be checking in

250 1B 55 38 PLT And - uh - that's the end of message.

Thank you for tolerating a11 this.

250 14 46 18 CDR This is the CDR. This message goes to

the Flight Directors, the Cap Comm,
the Flight Planners. Uh - I think we
ought to seriously think about this
T002 work that Jack's doing. Jack
has probably put in more work on T002
than anything else he's done in flight.
And that experiment - uh - Just doesn't
warrant that sort of work. Now he's
hustled like heck - uh - both the
scheduled time and non-scheduled time
to get it finished.

250 14 46 45 CDR He gets it finished today, then we get

a little word back fro_ the Cap Covmn
that - uh - we really aren't - he really
isn't finished - he's only about half
finished. And it just doesn't make sense
to devote that kind of work up here to
something like T002. He's taken sightings
_ since the day we got here. He's taken
them at Moon and star, star to star, and
star to anything. And - uh - coming back
and saying we want to get it spread over
for a few days. They got to spread over
a month or more. We can do it, and I
don't want you to think we're not looking
for work to do up here. But I honestly
think y'all ought to take a look at TO02.
That's like trying to schedule me to
unscrew a bunch of screws and screw 'am
in tomorrow and screw 'em in the next day
and unscrew them the next day, Just to
see if I can screw 'erain the next day
and unscrew them the following day. It's -
somethings out of Kilter - uh - with the
flightplanningdown there to keep him
doing that kind of work on T002.

250 14 47 39 CDR He spends more time on that than he does

anything but ATM, maybe, or sleeping.
He sleeps 8 hours, the ATM is about 3 or
4 and TO02 is about 2 or 3 and EREP's
about 1 or something. It's Just - it's
 Dump Tape 250-06
Page 7 of 12

out of phase with importance of that

experiment. Maybe we ought to repeat
some experiments we got up here, maybe
you oughta to do two or three times. But
to do T002 again and again and again -
something's mixed up. Please take a look
at it again and see what you think.
Ms,be we don't understand the problem up
here, but we think we do. We think we
knew the priorities before we left, and
if he's just working - he's working all
sorts of flight time at a million bucks
an hour on TO02.

250 14 48 23 CDR Say, that message goes to Flight Directors,

Cap Coma, and also Flight Planners.
CDR out.

250 14 h8 47 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

The subject is M487-3 Delta which turns
out to be M487 - uh - subjective eval-
uation guide number 3. And that concerns -
concerns the ... and the task - now we
/_ haven't performed any ... - want to make
sure I got the right one. Now wait a
minute let me make sure I got the right
one, here.

250 14 h9 42 SPT Are you off the channel yet, Jack?

PLT Uh - go ahead, Owen. I'm Just starting

now, but - uh - go aeh_d.

250 14 h9 49 SPT Okay, this is a short message for the ATM

PIs and planners. We went through the
uh - post-flares phase looking at the
X-flare in active region 9. Everything
went Just about as scheduled. I would
like to point out that the ... in active
9 was established by peaking up S055
detector number 3, grading zero. When
you look at the correlation on the
H-alpha photograph, it'll look like we
are slightly off the brightest portion,
• which is true for the H-alpha. But the
XUV, I believe it's a little bit
higher in altitude, therefore it slightly
shifted toward the limb. And this was
 Dmnp T_.pe 250-06
Page 8 of 12

the XUV and therefore it makes

the r - the best place for the 82B slit.
It was also ... best for the 82B
slit as you should be able to tell from
the H-alpha down onth e television.
Uh - this did take a lO second short
time for 82B about every 5 to 8 minutes.
S055, I went through a mirror line
scan, a one grading auto scan on the
bright point there, and then a
sequence of partial mirror auto rasters,
that ... of the oxygen - uh - hydro-
electronic - uh - seuqence - or - uh -
various oxygen ... levels. And - uh -
I would like to have gotten up a
higher ... l'm afraid I Just skipped
that mode before I had to go to Sun center.

250 14 51 14 SPT I did go to Sun center at about - uh -

15 minutes time remaining and - uh -
went to extend the standards on S052 -
Just a couple of ... at the corona
by eye and some of the streamers between
120 and 150 degrees - uh - clockwise
from a pole do appeared to have dimished
in intensity. So it could very well
be there is - there is some change occuring
in the corona and this should - uh - be
visible on your prism, l'm sure. So that
about completes the - uh - debriefing
of that - uh - post-flare phase and
we'll be picking up on the normal
schedule next orbit. End of the -
uh - the debriefing - one other comment
before I end it up. I put a couple of
segments on the V2R, the last one I did
get time. The first one I did not
time tag, I forgot about putting it on
channel A, but it was right at the
beginning of the orbit.

250 14 52 07 SPT It was the first thing up as soon as the

Sun came up for the post-flare phase,
and - uh - time that was GMT. Let's
see if I can establish what it was.

F
 Dump Tape 250-06
Page 9 of 12

250 14 52 22 SPT Uh - it should have been about - uh -

13:55 to 34:00, in that time period. I
did get the - the earlier sequence of
the white light corona graph of the
XUV Mon, etc. Now this is the end of
the - uh - message to the ATM PIs and
planners from the SPT.

SPT Recorder is yours, Jack.

250 l_ 53 hl_ SPT Now one more brief comment for the ATM
PIs and planners. I did put some - uh -
JOP 7 extinction info on the end of that
last orbit and I may have done the same
thing - uh - No, I think that was probably
the only ones this morning. There is -
uh - one segment of extinction data there
for S055 to take a lock at. End of
additional cormnents for the _ uh - ATM.

250 14 55 38 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack again on

channel A. And now we're going to
M47-3 Delta. This is a subjective evalu-
_f ation guide number 3, the informationgoes
to - uh - primarily, I believe, Bob Bond
over at the ... and - uh - Bob Nute over
in building 4 might have - uh - interest
in this also. But the question today is
how do we evaluate, subjectively, our
major t_nks and the tools that we got do
•.. Uh - tool kit number 1 and tool kit
nt_nber 2, let's talk about those. Uh -
We got a wide assortment of tools and
they're most of the tools that we need to
do the Job. However, I think it would
better if we could get off the shelf
tools as much as possible because the
ones we got fit loosely. And - uh -
they just seem like - uh - ... fit when
you put them together. They're not the
kind of tools you'd btV at Sears and Roebuck
•.. craftsman line - uh - which I consider
to be very good tools and which are -
which ... together tightly and seem to be
more solid tools than the ones we got.
But so far the ones we've got have done
the job and I recognize that many of them
are specialized for special uses.
 Dump Tape 250-06
Page l0 of 12

/_ 250 l_ 57 01 PLT Uh - the - uh - Some of the that don't

fit the Mozite very well. They're loose
and we had to put tape around them or
over them to keep them in the Mozite,
particularly two of the ... We need to
have, I think, a couple of tools that we
don't have here. We could've used a
hack saw a couple of times. And - uh -
we used the Swiss army knife instead.
A couple of times we could have used a drill.
We ought to have a drill with a couple -
with some bits - Uh - I think that that
line ought a consider the same kind of
tools you got in your tool bench at home;
the ones you use most often, we have most
of those, except for a drill and a
hank saw. And then we also need the
specialized tools that we have°

250 l_ 57 52 PLT So basically the tools have been doing

a Job, and - uh - Just - They're not
the kind of tools I'd buy if I were going
to pick some up, they Just don't fit
together that well. But they do the job
/_ here. Repair kit - the item for
the repair kit not always been used .....
have one item in the kit that ... is the -
uh - the Velero - stick-back Velcro,
Velcro. And this was a complaint we had
before launch on this Velcro and we ...
on it. Somehow it didn't get fixed.

250 14 58 29 PLT The sticky-back Velcro - the problem is

that the - uh - the glue that holds the
Velcro to the sticky-back has less
strenth than the Velero to the Velcro. So
when you - uh - use one of these pieces
of Velcro and stick one side of it on
the wall and the other side on a card
or whatever you wanna stick to the
wall and th_n take the card off the Velcro
why - uh - you have the Velcro coming
loose and sticky back coming loose. What
you got is a real neat piece of backing
tape left on the locker and you got all
your Velcro card or vice-versa. So that
stuff doesn't work good.

/'--'_ 250 lh 59 09 PLT The S190 maintenance kit, fortunately

we haven't had to use that very _eh•
Uh - the ... that we have used have
done the Job alright, but there's only
been minor things like - oh, well we
haven't used the wrenches, we haven't
had toreplace much equipment - uh -
the items that came up in the special
kit with S192 work satisfactorily. Just
the ... and I can't remember what else
but - uh - didn't really use much out
of the S190 maintenance kit, so it's
pretty hard to evaluate that equipment.
M512 tools - uh - we haven't used any of
them on this mission. We don't have much
to do with M512 on this mission. _ ...
you'll have to get somebody else to evaluate
them because my job during the EVA prep is
to do other things and the other two guys
•.. for maintenance.

250 15 00 13 PLT Okay, adequacy of work sites. Well, you take

whatever work sites you got, whether it's
good or bad - uh - you take it whatever it is.
/_ You recognize that we've done a lot more
maintenance up here than anybody expected
we would. And - tub - basically, as for as
doing work tasks are concerned, I don't see
a whole lot of difference from doing them
here than you would at home• The only thing
is you've got to hold things down, you can't
lay Veto down, you've got to tape 'era to some-
thing or - uh - or - uh - One handy thing is
Just to lay out a piece of tape, sticky side
up, and stick your stuff to it. Nuts and
bolts - ui% - tools - uh - sometimes I use a
tool eady if I've got lots of parts to contain
and lots of tools why, I'll stick that out.
Otherwise, I'll just stick them in my pocket,
stick the bolts on a piece of tape or some-
thing like that. The - uh - tool caddy little
pockets with the windows in it come in handy
to keep nuts and bolts in - uh - the - uh -
little rings on there or clips or dog clips
 Dump Tape 250-06
Page 12 of 12

have been used to hang on to some of

the tools and so has the Velcro sad - uh -
little pockets with the - in the elastic.
So the tool caddy has come in useful %'hen you
want to - uh - to - uh - to retain lots of
parts or lots of tools. And I've never worn it
around my waist, I've always Just stuck
it somewhere so really the waistbelt
.. hasn't done me much good. Although different
guys may use it different ways.

250 15 01 51 PLT But mostly for me a pocket to carry things

to a certain location in sad I'll fastened
to the w_]] or pick it up somehow so that
uh - it's within reach but not on - around
my waist. Some of the work sites we've used
other than those locations that the work
needed to be done at were a - that is, some of
the work sites we've used which are other
than those at which the actual work is being
performed depends on the - uh - food lockers
for example, a nice, clean, flat surface,
put springs on there, sad hold things down
_ and - uh - work on them. Standthere in the
grid sad support yourself and - uh - so - uh -
found that the food lockers is a good place
to work. And I've worked on the tape recorders

tape, or something like that. Uh -
the - uh - tool caddy - uh - little
pockets with the windows in them
come in handy to keep nuts and bolts
in. Uh - the - uh - the little - uh -
rings on there are clipped so when the
dog clips have been used to - uh -

hang onto some of the tools, mud -

... velcro and the little pockets with
the - in the - uh - elastic. So the
tool caddy is kind of useful for when
you want to - uh - to - uh - to - uh -
retain lots of parts or lots of tools.

250 15 01 40 PLT And I've never worn it around my waist

. I've always Just stuck it somewheres,
so really the waist belt hasn't done
me much good - uh - although, differ--
ent guys may use it different ways.
Mostly, fo me, a pocket - uh - is to
carry things to a certain - uh - loca-
tion in. And then I'll fasten them to
the wall or - uh - pick it up somehow
so that - uh - it's - uh -within.
reach but not on my - on my waist.
Some of the o_Tk sites we've used -
uh - other than those locations that
uh - the owrk needed to be done at,
were - uh - That is, some of the work
siteswe've used which are other than
those at which your actual work is
being performed have been on the - uh -
food lockers for example - a nice big
flat surface - put springs (?) on
there, and - uh - hold things down and -
uh - work on them. Stand there on the
grid, support yourself, and - uh - so -
uh - found the food lockers was good
place to work.

250 15 02 37 PLT And I worked in the tape recorder center.

Also - uh - at the top of the - uh -
waste management - uh - vent filter cover
is another reasonably good place to work
until we have better ways to hold things
down. But it's a nice flat surfact which
is about desk height. Set yourself down nes
to it and go to work there. Other work
... we've done has mostly all been done at
the site where the Job needs to be done.
You Just take what you get when you get
there. Figure out away to wrap your legs
around something and go to work on it is
 Dump Tap3 250-07
Page 3 of 7

about the only way to do it. But - uh -

as far as performance half is concerned,
there's - uh - not much difference in being
able to do the Job than there would be if
you were at home.

250 15 03 17 PLT Adequacy of lighting for work toasks - uh -

In some cases okay, and in most cases it's
• not. In most cases ...open or look at
something closely or find• out - uh - how
the nuts and bolts come off in the prefer-
ential order and all that sort of thing
you gotto get out a flashlight to take
around.
250 15 03 38 PLT Adequacy of onboard data package - uh -
toolwise - uh - I guess _ don't know what
that means. As for as the - uh -house-
keeping-type items, where you replace
components, I think the - uh - the adequacy
of onboard data has been very good. The
housekeeping - uh - maintenance tasks and
the systems checklists are very explanatory
- and - uh - and - uh - if - if anything
theyre conservative and telling you too
many things as opposed to - uh - not tell-
ing you enough. So think they're goo. It's
better to be on that side than any other
way.

250 15 04 18 PLT Preflight prep for maintenance tasks -

uh - the - uh - tasks that we've per - been
perfor - performing that - uh - where we
were trained preflight for - uh - if pre-
flight for - uh - if preflight training
wasn't very adequate - very good - we haven'
performed all those tasks that we've trained
for - those which we have trained for - why
uh - the preflight training was good. We
performed maintenance tasks that we were
trained for preflight and - uh - we need
your help ... for the most part have been
very explanatory in - in defining and
outlining how to do those Jobs. Training
was good and - uh - data that we got on
board then which we got teleprinted up is
awful good. Mantience
Dump Tape 250-07

250 15 05 07 PLT Maintenance tasks - solids traps - works

Just like the trainer. You got to be
careful - uh - that you turn those fans
off ... going to start floating around
inside those solids traps. So you
got to get that lid - lid down. And
you can't fool aroun a moment too much
'cause the stuff comes flying out. So
you got to be very careful when taking
the solid traps off not to bump them.
You take the little - uh - uh - long
bolt out of there with the handle on it
very carefully and gently and - uh -
with some - uh - some - uh - right
amount of ... so you catch all the junk
in there before it gets out..

250 15 05 44 PLT And the Mol sieve charcoal cans " I

haven't done one of those yet. PPCO 2

inlet/outlet cartridges - they're Just
as easy as - uh - there on the ground.
PPO2 cartridgesthe same way. No
problem with that at all. EVA/IVA
coolant gas separator - I haven't done
that yet but - uh - if it's as much
a pain in the neck up here as it is
on the ground, it's a bad job. It's
close place to work. You can't get
the forces that you need to get exerted
on the - uh - connectors to - uh -
do the job right. It's a lot of strain
and a lot of sweat and grunting and
complaining about that one. Although
I haven't done it up here, I've done
it on the ground. And - uh - I don't
remember but one out of many times
that I was able to get all the connectors
hooked up. And I understand the one
on board works better from P2F2 data,
but I haven't had a chance to pull it off
yet. But if you ever design other places -
uh - to work in that's the kind you don't
want to design.

250 15 06 4R PLT The WMC vent filter we haven't - I

haven't replaced that yet, although
Dump Tape 250-07
Page 5 of 7

I have - uh - removed the ... hole

vent filter to cover - uh - to clear
the area for - uh - flying the maneuver-
ing unit. And you Just pick that
thing up and move it wherever you want
it to. It's a pleasure to get around
after hauling that - uh - big blivet
around and in one g, it's a pleasure
to move things up here. There's nothing
to it at all. They don't tend to get
away from me. You really don't notice
a whole lot of inertia. You Just
loosen them enough to float, smd then
you Just sort of ease them over to
another place and fasten them down
with astropin, and there it is. You
don't have to worry about anymore.
It's a pleasure to move big items a-
round here because it's just so darn
easy, so much easier than it is on
the ground that you Just like to be
beating the game or beating the system,
for one thing, I guess you might
say.

250 15 07 42 PLT For the WMC charcoal canister - I

guess that's the one I haven't replaced -
uh - and that's the one I've been talking
about. Now the WMC vent filter - uh -
Replaced that a couple of times and that's
no problem item. You just want to have
everything clean before you do that be-
cause if you turn off the fan and get
the filter away from the blower, why -
uh - the minute the vent starts flying
around then you want to have a bag ready
or something to put it in right away.

250 15 08 14 PLT Fecal collector filter - uh - I haven't

replaced one of them myself yet ....
Cleaning items. Orbital workshop air mix
chamber screens, vent - WMC vent filter,
and AM/0WS circulation filter screens are
all cleaned at the same time. And you
don't have to turn them off on nothing.
You just go up there and - uh - take
off the big items that the vacuum cleaner
Dump Tape 250-07
Page 6 of 7

mightnot like and - uh - throwthem

in with the trash and then all the rest
of the crumbs and chips and peanuts and
pins and fingernails and hair and - and
all the other stuff that collects on
them comes right off. If you want to
find anything, you look on the - the
workshop clear air mixing chamber screen.
It collects the cue cards and pencils
and the - and foam rubber and - uh -
whatever you're missing, why that's
where it shows up.

250 15 09 09 PLT If it doesn't show up in the next few

minutes, it'll show up in a couple of
hours or a couple days. And - but we
haven't lost anything I know of around
here except one of .._ things and it's
probably sticking to some .... somewhere.
Unscheduled replacement items - uh -
we haven't replaced th4 faus. It
doesn't look like it will be a pro-
blem. Valves - Don!t remember replacing
any - replacing these valves or seal
meters - lights - ... lights that we
replaced and - uh - little light bulbs
in the airlock - uh - lights that ...
handhold. And - uh - it's like plugging
in any light bulb. They keep it there.
They burn out fairly readily.

250 15 I0 01 PLT We - uh - did a few other unscheduled

items. Uh - one was the APR changout.
And that was Just a matter of time, and
we got that done with no problem Just
like you would at home. Replaced the
dtnmp heater probe with no problem. That -
that's an unscheduled repair item as
well. Identify task and evaluate - Well,
we - uh - repaired a few things. We
worked some the S019, and - uh - got it
fastened to the deck, and it with a
flashlight and got the appropriate tools
and adjusted things as we saw necessay.
And we had several opinions on how to do
it. and I came up with the best one.
We've repaired the - uh - bike - bicycle
ergometer. And that's when we could've
used the hacksaw or the drill force to get
out that busted off screw.
Dump Tape 250-07
Page 7 of 7

250 15 ll l0 PLT And we replaced that - uh - repaired it

with no problem. The way that was done -
see, we know that broken-off screw which
was broken off flush with the pedal was
to - uh - the triangle on the pedal ...
we started with the bone saw but that
didn't do much good and I finally came
up with the idea of using the - uh -
the - uh -my Swiss army knife. And it
did the job. It made an awful big groove,
but it was - uh - still small enought to -
uh - And the Swiss arm knife was good
enough to cut through that - uh - triangle
... on the pedal and - uh - also for
screwing at the same time ... the screw-
driver backed up is you put a - secondly -
uh - cut a slot in the - uh - into the
screw and the - uh - end of the busted-off
screw - and screw it out with a screwdriver.
The same thing you'd pzobably do at home
except you'd probably use a drill at home,
which you can have. Had we had a drill,
we'd of gone to work with that first.

a11 of my - my settings and everything
one the UV camera but not take an extra

have a UV twin filter on and I've got it
in the 2700 Angstrom position. OUr first

seconds set on this ring on the side -
don't know whwat we call that ring - that's
_. set at h and my timer is Nikon zero,my

top and the motor drive on the back is
also set at T. I have the - uh - c_mera

the - uh - 22:13 run. I did " "
the first - uh - step, which
was mainly J0P 6, step 2,
building block 2. Completed
that, was notified of a - uh -
transient corona. I went out
looking for it - uh - first - _
we looked out the white light
coronagraph. Saw at 070 a
- uh - about a 1 diameter - 1
solar diameter - uh - bubble.
It wasn't too distinct because
it w_s - some of the streamers,
particularly the lower right
side, when the ones that were
at 8 o'clock was a little bit
wider than the one up towards
7 o'clock. But you still could
see the loop over the top of
the distorted - uh - streamers.
We went out and looked around
with our H-alpha to try and
__ get the - tth- to get some
contrast, brightness and the
like ; came up with nothing.

251 00 09 h5 CDR Went back to Sun center, got

a roll that put the - uh -
the - uh - transient down at
5 o' clock. And then started
to do an extended standard for
the pass. We - uh - did a
5h - started 5h, and then we
realized this is a good run.
So I gave 'em an M30S256
anyway. Uh- Thought they
might like it. I gave 56 an
ACTIVE i, that was 5h ACTIVE.
56 in ACTIVE 1 LONG but it
hung up in 3 and the ground
said don't do anymore so we
shut that off. We ran four
frames per minute in H-alpha

... interval ... when- uh-

•.. standard was over. Then
looked in white light corona-
graph, could still see it.
Entered another one and in
the middle of that one, we
interrupted to get the down-
link to Houston. And by then
the - uh - component or the
- uh - coronal - uh - bright
area that was moving across
some of the h to 5 position.
It looked to me like down
around 5 to 6 solar radii
but it's difficult to discern
out there because of the way
the scope sort of brightens
out in that area. Uh - anyhow
we gave you down-link and an
extended standard and next
pass we will pick up with our
normal - uh - JOP working
f - uh - JOPwork.

251 00 ll 12 CDR Nothing to say other than it

looked like a very good one.

done is to go - to go around
various locations in those - " •
in the workshop. They are the
ones we most frequently use
to work or to - uh - to work
at. And I placed the page as
shown, 1-16, on the front
face of the panel number that --
I will give you. And then
the spotmeter reading was
made normal to the paper.
In each case I turned all the
lights on - uh - in the com-
partments that I was m_king
the measurements in. No extra
high intensity lights or
anything, Just all of the normal
illumination lights were on
- uh - a couple of lights were
burned out. I can remember
only two up in the MDA but those
are the two I did not replace.

I can recall, the lights were

251 00 59 49 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on chs/AQel A, debrief-

ing the 92/93 run on Jack. Uh - the - uh -
smount of work done in the 2 minutes of
exercise was right at 300 WATT/MINUTES.
No other problems, everything went
very normally and as scheduled. End
of message to the biomed folks, PIs
of M092 and 93. Ah - no, I didn't call
down the leg measurements. Stand by,
I'll give you those.

251 01 00 30 SPT Okay, the leg measurements were; left

calf is 13-3/16 inches in circumference.
T_e right calf is 13-9/16 inches in
circumference. The legbands are the
standard ones we've always used - same
old blood pressure cuff on the - number ll
on the arm - and everything else, saddle,
a11, Just the same as standard. And - uh -
that's all the information that I believe
uh - we owe you for 92/93.

• 251 01 hl l0 CDR This is the CDR debriefing the - uh -

run I Just performed on the - uh - ATM,
which was the - uh - the - uh - 00h9 run.
I brought it up and ran - uh - J0P 6,
steps 1 and 2, and in the intervening time,
I checked with - uh - the backroom and they
indicated they'd like to have me - uh -
perhaps do - uh - J0P 29" - the ones that I
had not completed the previous orders -
orbit, because of the coronal transient.
Uh - I did that all the way down until the
final one in pointing 402 and 534. I asked
uh - uh - the PLT - uh - if he would do that
when we come up and he's gonna do it. So
I think everything went real well and
nothing remarkable occurred.

PLT MARK.

CDR Yeah. Be my opinion, for the - he Just

didn't have the data to keep up _-Ith
all this baloney we're doing.

251 02 _i 17 CDR He didn't know he didn't have the

data; it's like us.

CDR You'll get over it. Both of us will. Okay.

251 02 41 29 CDR I know it. It sounded like he was it

sounded like you didn't want to talk
about it right at the _nd. Okay. That's
it. What's next? It doesn't make any
difference.

251 02 _i 39 CDR Okay, now - this is CDR and I'm getting

ready to do 487-3. This will be my
_- last subjective evaluation guide. And
I'm gonna discuss these items. First
I'm standing by the tool kit here - and • - .-.
one of the things I've noticed in the tool
kit is the pinch bar's missing because
it was left outside on EVA. And I th_nk
what we ought to do is - uh - bring up
these tools that - uh - are missing. We
took them for a reason and Just leaving
em out there if they break, not replace
them doesn't make sense he :ause you can
have the same needs for the tools - uh -
on the last mission - the last 3 days -
as you can the first.

251 02 _2 16 CDR NOW one thing I'm looking is drawer A is

several things about this tool kit that
needs work. One is the fit in here
is too tight w_th these _-,,_es uh - uh
- things that hold em all. They should
of been a little looser fit and
maybe a little Velcro on them to hold em
down in their places. A little design
plate to see where it goes with Valcro
holding it in instead of having such a
 Dump Tape 251-04
Page 2 of Ii

hard time to get them out. Next - they

should be some special tethers designed for
these tools. Maybe we should look at each
tool that we think could conceivable go
outside, and drill a little hole in it
s_ewhere or do something ot it so that
we can attach tethers to all of these
so when we take it em EVA,_ -An& that's
gonna improve and gonna increase more and
more as the years go by. So we gotta get
these tools where we can take them outside
instead of having to spend time here
trying to understand a way to take them
outsi de.

251 02 M3 05 CDR Now l'm looking at the screws, the

• drivers, and the bits and the .- uh -
Allen bit and all that. Now the only
one complaint I got about this is they're
not in order. Uh - you get a 3/16th and
the a i/h and then there's a 3/16th
short - there's a T/64ths - these things
should start at the smallest and run to
z--- the big even if you have to put in a couple
of extra drawers - and then you can find
them in order instead of huntin all over.
We got 1/16 in the back, here's 5/32 square
over here, over at this side is something
else. And definitely, they ought to be
in order of size so that you can get at era.
And they ought to fit in there looser with
more Velcro on them. There's Velcro on
the tools but there's no velcro on the
drawer - that' s fate.

251 0_ h3 47 CDR We ought to have a couple bigger

screwdrivers than we have. Uh - next -
uh - I'm lookin now at the sockets
- the sockets - we ought to have a full
set and they ought to be in a row, here
we got them kinda mixed up and we haven't
got one of each. We got up here and tried
to fix our - uh - by the way tried to
fix our uh - exerciser - Mark I - and
we didn't have the right kind of Allen
wrench and that's a problem. We ought to
have a full set of every one of these
things. They Just don't weight that much
 Dump Tape 251-04
Page 3 of ii

and then you got a fi_I set of tools

you can work with.

251 02 44 16 CDR The _renches aren't too bad but once

again you need a full set. Mechanical
fingers, now here I'm looking at the
bottom drawer and here's some more
Allen bits.

251 02 53 47 CDR Okay, this is the CDR back again t_]_ing

about _87-3. And another thing that
keeps coming up is the fact that we're
always - uh - we're never using our tool
punches. Those little tool pouches we got
nobody ever uses cause they're so much
doggone trouble to go get. Also Just
getting a big uh- bag and puttins em
in em tends to let the_ float away.
We really should of inven - now we put
em in our pockets. But we reA11y should of
come up with a better tool pouch than
what we have. I think the thing could
of been merely three or four visible
_- pockets with _m..ps or zippers and
then you'd have places to put the springs
- uh - and the screws that you can see them
and a way to get in there and reach era.
Now we got that sort of a thing on this
one, but it Just isn't adequate. It's
too small, it doesn't tarry the tools, they
fly off - the whole thing is a bomb -
and it uust doesn't hold things correctly.
It's not secure enough - uh - you should
tether them, and it Just doesn't have
it and it's a lot of trouble you have
to put them in your pocket and you can't
see in there and you open the lid and five
screws f_11 out and you have to go got
them so those sorts of things are - are
: had.

251 02 54 54 CDR Uh - another thing that's bad is it's

difficult to remember which drawer is
got which item in it. Not only do the
drawers have the writing near the top
where you can't see it because it's
hidden by the little edge but the fact
that's there's no simple way to remember
what - where everything is. It'd be
 Dump Tape 251-04
Page 4 of ii

much better if we sr_,ehow arranged

them alphabetically or somehow
systematically where they mn_e sense.
Now I mentioned before we've got Allen
wrenches in two different drawers. We've
got the - uh - ratchet wrench for the
Allen wrenches in another drawer the
whole ballgame is - is kinda scr_ed up.
And it'd be better to waste a little space
and then have everything. Where you we want
something with a ratchet, you go to the
ratchet two or three drawers, whatever it
takes. If you want something to screw
driver with and, things that look like
screwdrivers you go to the screw driver
place - b-m-_.rs, and tongs, things like that
you go some other place. Lacing twine and
all that's good. Now _he torque wrench
is up with the lacing twine the scissers is
up there - does that make sense? I doubt
it. But that's what I _lean.

251 02 55 53 CDR Now one of the drawers that's pretty

f good is - is the - uh - pilers drawers.
You go in there and you can find every
kind of plier you need. The lubricant -
we got more lubricant than you can shake
a stick at. Uh - knives, those are good.
We carry those around, but we need a
sharpening stone badly_ My mistake of
not bring a sharpening stone was gross.
A thing called experiment handle mixed in
with the cutter pliers along with the
Phillips offset and the Cry.scent wrench
and a bunch of snaps - ridiculous. We
ought to have supplies in one drawer, and
then wrenches one and special handles in
another. One whole drawer's got some
spares and specials - And we ought to
have a lot of spares of these things
that we use a lot. We use a Crescent
wrenches - I mean Allen wrenches - those
need spares. The vice we got's so-so.
Don't have a work bench, that's one of the
had things.

251 O_ 56 h3 CDR We got to invent for the next space

station - we got to invent a plate that
 Tape 251-04
Page 5 of ii

- uh - that - uh - you can do work at, to

fix your books and all that - and
another place with good lighting and
some special rigs to keep screws and all that
stuff. A workbench where we float up
and put down this equipment we work on.
Everything's gonna - uh - and that -
alongthatlinecould be improve_: _Let's ....
talk about the repair kit. Repair kit is
okay. We don't use it much because we
Just don't have - uh - much to repair.
There's blister patches in there - we
never use them, we never use the flat
patches, the Velero strips we use.

251 02 57 15 CDR Now the Velero in here isn't worth a

dawn, we need to .get more Velcro like we
brought up with us, th_se little squares
and those have been really superb. Uh -
the little nuts and bolts we brought up
that fit great - but we "ended up bringing
up non-stainless-steal ones - we ought to
bring up the best bolts and nuts we got.
Uh - I like the varietythat you have and
the ability that whenever you have something -
do it, we need an area where we could ..
put things that we find floating by, or
loose ones and put them in an organized
fashion instead of just throwing them in
end hoping we can Tind them at some late
date. Because you'll - you'll see a screw
float by and you'll say I don't know where
that comes from but I've seen it. Okay,
you got to put somewhere - 3 days later
you realize it came off some item and you
say - uh - that's the one I saw the other
davy - where is it now? Hew do I get it?
It 's tough °

• 251 02 58 00 CDR Universal sealing - We should of used that -

we should get something we could use for
these leaks in the vaccum lines, the
pressure lines, I don't know, but that'll do
it. Duct tape, that's a good thing.
Oh - essentially, the repair kit is semi-part
of the - uh - tool kit and should be made so.
I think that - uh - that those should be
integrated. S190 _n_ntenance kit I don't
even know what it is. Uh - I - wait a minute
Dump Tape 251-0_
Page 6 of ii

I don't even know what it is. I'll

check on it and let you know. 512 tools,
they're oks_', redundant. I think you
need some up there. And you need to
make them in the same format that I'm
t_l_Ing about here. Those are crammed in
little drawers - they ought to be - like
a regular tool kit with - uh - Velcro
on them and little spaces.

251 02 58 50 CDE EMU maintenance kit is a good kit. We

need much more in the way of sewing
kit Provisions here, we need more in the
way of thread, needles and the like.
I wanted to sew up my sleeping bah and ended
up using - uh - safety pins which worked
okay but - uh - still would of liked
to have done it the other way. Adequacy
of work sites, what work sites? Don't
have one. Everytime we get ready to do
something, we have to find someplace else
to do it. I think that's gross uh - de -
uh - oversight on our part. Adequacy of
lighting, poor. Oh - you can do the Job,
but it Just isn't right. We ought to
have good bench lighting somewhere where
we can sit down and work on these things.
Particularly on the space station.

251 02 59 33 CDR Adequacy of onboard data package.

Excellent onboard package, data and if it
isn't onboard, they can send it up on the
teleprinter. I reallY do think that
that's been one of the best parts. No
complaints. Adequacy of prep for maintenance
test. Good. I think we could perhaps -
uh - get a better uh - no, I don't think
there's anything we could do better. The
maintenance task uh - provisions are good.
I wouldn't want to do it any other way,
that's a good way.

251 03 OO 01 CDR Let's talk about schedule replacement

items. Solid check. Simple to do, easy,
no trouble. It's very simple; that's
theway they all ought to be. Mol sieve
charcoal cans : another mode sept - turck
okay and very easy simple Job. One of the
 Dump Tape 251-04
PaKe 7 of 11

things I think we have done, is everything

is so easy and so optimized that we spent
a zillion dollars getting it that way.
I was looking at the tool kit. We made
the tool kit so it had universal mounts.
The - the box was universl mounts. We
never use that feature. Now, I don't
know - I don_t know where you cut the _
corners but - uh - the one of things that's
driving us out of business is high cost.
We've got to get more things off the ship.
We got to get more items Just like they
Kre out of the store and take them with
us. Put some Velcro on them and drill
a hole in them, and put a lanyard on them
and take them. And that's the way it
ought to be. We shouldn't be inventing
everything over again.

251 03 00 53 CDR Okay, POC02 [sic] Inlet/outlet cartridges:

pain in the you know what, but okay to do.
Having them - they ought not have As, Bs,
or whatever they are, Ps and As the same
i color that go - I mean the whole thing
allows you to mix them up and - uh - they
sho%tld be easily marked on, instead of
running around putting all of this red
tape on them. They Just - easy to do, but
easy to mix up too. PP02 cartridge: same
comment. Eva/IVA cool gas separator:
- cool gas separator. Uh - haven't
replaced them. To the trainer they're
hard, in here I hear they're not bad.
We have a spare one we brought up; I don't
have any idea what we're going to do with it.
Waste Management Compartment vent filter:
easy. Waste _'_anagement Compartment
charcoal canister: hard to get unsnapped,
all the rest is easy. Fecal Col - by the
way these filters are the - the berries.

251 03 01 47 CDR We should have lots of fens and filters

around the spacecraft because that's
where everything goes.. This big fitting up
in the top of the dome this big restrainer -
that is really great. If you pick the
right mesh scren and everything. Many,

,_ny crumbs get up there. We vacuu_

that a couple times a day. That'S
• an outstanding design feature. The
one in the head's good, but it needs
more suction, so that when you cut your
_r or something, the - uh - things will
• get in there and stick better. That -
Both of those are good. Vacuum cleaner
needs more suction so we can get it of
there.

251 03 02 19 CDR Fecal collector filter: easy to put in.

Piece of cake; that's a good one. Just
slide a couple of pieces of rubber ...
(yawn) - that's a winner. Okay, scheduled
cleaning items. OWS air mixing er-m_
screens - chamber screens I mean. Call
them crumb screens because the crumbs
are always up there. Uh - it's good,
well designed. We need a harder vac1,_,
cleaner to do it. That's a good thing up
there. Yes?

SPT ... aud I'm gonna have ... S063 run for
tomorrow. And if they don't know about
that ...

CDR That's fine if ... Put that, and I'll

call for it. Put that and leave it there
and I'll mention it to them soon. Okay?
Okay, next we've got - uh - so that -
that's a good cleaner. I think also,
we're going to have to wash it. I noticed
some strawberry drink or something up
there. We're going to have to wash that off.
Waste Management Compartment vent filter needs
more suction, but the filters good. Having
it course, and fine, I don't really
think buys you a thing. If I were you,
I'd Just have the fine filter, and you
could scrub the coarse off of it. To
having the two separators doesn't seem
to do anything.

251 03 03 30 CDR I would suggest forgetting the coarse.

AM/0WS circulation - circ fan screens -
cire filter screens: they appear to do
much for you. Oh, I know what you mean.
 Dmmp Tape 251-04
Page 9 of ii

Those little screens on the back of the

fans. They work real well. Uh - the
trouble is the screen is - is so weak
it stretches, and gets concave and hard
to vacuum. Everything else is okay. Once i
again need a vac1,_m cleaner better. !
Uhscheduled replacement items : fans, simple !
_ to dO,_no trouble; valves, haven't done :: _
any, probably easy; seals, same thing;
lights, lights are hard to get out. The
reason they're hard to get out is you got
sort of an eliptical shape to them. And
it turns out that when you open the
opening - the little cover, it catches on
the front end of the ellipse ; the long
axis tends to rotate the ellipse which
tends to Jam the whole business together.
Uh - so that's kind of _ bad design.
Could be done.

251 03 04 27 CDR Unscheduled repair items_ we've done a lot

of tasks in here. My opinion is, you
can do Just about anything except maybe
- pressurized lines with fluid in them.
With fluid in them, what you need do is - uh -
somehow get a way to turn it off, and
then you can probably work in there, And
have a release valve, thinking ... so
that you can drain it off, or some
techinque developed so that you can drain
off the excess fluid that is pressureized into
a bottle. Then you can do the repair
and then you can put that fluid back in.
So that could be some sort of a test you
have before repair. One thing that
we've had difficulty with, is letting
anybody fool with anything electric here.
You're always afraid you're going to
shock yourself. Uh - I'd - uh - forget it,
• I Just think our work area have some
sort of rubber floor, and it maybe have
a rubber work-bench. And then you could
do all the work there, and you wouldn't get
much of a shock. And then we could do
better troubleshooting than we're doing
now. We're constantly troubleshooting with
the power off trying to get resistance and
things. And as you know, that Just doesn't
 Dump Tape 251-04
Page I0 of ii

I"_ quite do the Job. A lot of things open

up when they got voltages on them or
heat or current flow that are great when
they don' t.

251 03 05 32 CDR So that's one of the things. I think

that - uh - maintenance tasks in space
..... are going to be much simpler than I had 4
_magined before coming on this flight.
And its going to take a new look to see
how we build things for maintenance. We
Shouldn't build them to expensively for
maintenance because it seems to me that
we ought to be able to fix them anyhow.
Particularly with a11 this ground help. The
problem is gonna be having adequate parts.
I don't know whether you. try to get cn_mon
parts, or you try to build redundancy in
and Just hope for that. I would try to
build redundancy in, and then use the
m-_ntenance to fix up a simply item, to
replace items, to replace - you don't
necessarily have to take the redundancy and
build it in. Maybe you can have the
redundacy in the spare part, in the
critical items. But, anyhow, - that's
been a nice, bright point of this.

251 03 06 16 CDR Now that information - uh - 483 goes to

Bob Nute and Jake - Jeff _gmith. And
- uh - you send that to them, everybody
will be happy. CDR out.

251 03 08 24 PLT Hello, space fans_ this is Jack on

channel A. This is for the ATM world.
Debriefing the last ATM run today starting at
22:22 - 02:12, excuse me. Got off to a
little late start because - uh - I
went back and picked up - uh - something
done 2 revs before: Uh - the 2313 rev.
I went back and got the - uh - mirror
auto raster, grating 24:36 with 18 minutes
to go. Roll zero up 402 and right side
34. You got that square off the bat,
and so - uh - that got me off to a late
start. And - uh - I did your - uh - shopping
list item 16 six times as you requested,
and - uh - omitted all the ....and - uh -
 Dump Tape 251-0h
Page ll of ii

through the rest ... and so forth. And

followed your times and whatnot until
I got down to - uh - uh - the next to
the _ast one. And - uh - it became
apparent - uh - before that, that - uh -
I wasn't going to get them all in.
And so What I decided to do is to -
'_ uh - get the first four as you _quested
and to modify the length of the exposures
On the - uh - second two, building block 13,
so they can come out right.

251 03 18 53 'PLT So the next to last building block 13

- uh - 82B got a 3-1/2-minute wave short
and a 3-1/2-minute wave long - like
5 minutes. And - uh - Milligan got - uh
- about a 7-minute exposure in filter 3.
On the last building block 13, I cut them
down to although I made them a little
bit longer. Uh I made 82B a 5-m_uute
wave short, and - uh - I cut that in half
as - uh - you did - uh - made it a 2-1/2-minute
wave long. And - uh - again - uh -
56 got about - uh - an 8-minute exposure
on filter 4. So I hope that doesn't
degrade your data too much. I was trying
to keep those equal as you had made
equal in time and - uh - cut those in
half that you had cut half in time - uh -
in order to - uh - keep the porportions
proper. Although I did have to - uh -
cut down the overall exposure length
some. Machine is powered down now for
unattended ops, and - uh - we've enjoyed
working with you today, and - uh - uh -
feel free to fly NASA anytime. Thank
you.

message to the M172 Pl's and, in particular, -
uh - Doctors Mike Whettle, Bill Thronton
and Paul Buchanan. - Uh - last night and
this morning, I - uh - completed another
M-172, PR 2. I guess that's protocol
number 2 in which - uh - the 14ayday
measurement was made of the insensible
water loss overnight. - Uh - my _4MD,
Just prior to going to sleep was as
follows: 5.9087, 8487, 8887. I've
obviously Just repeated the last two digits
for the four - uh - uh - pattern weights.
This morning, immediately after getting
up, my weights were 5.979, 7775, 7475. -
Uh - the difference - uh - between these
two averages - uh - looks to me to be
about 12 units. - Uh - considering I had
a four - uh - place number and 12 ,In_ts, I
believe to be about two-thirds of a pound.
That looks like six-tenths to seven-tenths
of a pound water loss, which strikes me as
 Tape 251-05
Pa_e 2 of 3

" being a little too high. I remember

measuring thus on the ground overnight
and as near as I could tell from the -
uh - uh - scales we were using, it was
more like a quarter to a third of a
pound water lost. l've also done this
PR-2 one time earlier, - uh - a week or
ten days ago. And I believe I only got
4 units instead of 12 units - uh - on the
BMMD n,lmher - uh - change. So you might
let me know what you think of these. The
measurements both last night and this
morning were - uh - uh - reasonably
consistent, and - uh - I - uh - don't know
why it was apparently as large as it was.
If you have any explanation, I'd - uh -

didn't have the - uh - MIRROR in
the right line when I did a couple
of MIRROR AiWf0 RAST_:I_S there, so
I went back and did them with it

out well at the end although I
wasted some time. I think I got
all the data that you need. Oh -
I ran - uh - 56 SINGLE FRAMES several
times to - uh - like l, 3, and 5 in

save a little frames for them; and -
uh - other than that, everything
Just went - uh - very nice. I
noticed that active region 19 is
cooking up down there. .I got
as high a reading on the IAC as
about 25. One time I saw it ...
up to 30, but it was jumped be-

PLT, Jack, is the subject. He just
finished the 0GI portion of the N 2 pressure
is 1125, I125 and there might be one
correction on the final - uh - sequence
or step. At level 18, 18 the firs_
sequence was clockwise and he answered
correctly, right and then left. I'm
not sure I punched in correctly that final
left, I may have Just given it as a
right/right, when I should have said
right/_eft, correctly. So Jack - uh -
missed nothing on the - uh - level 18. And
that's the only other comment - uh - that
I have on - uh - his OGI run.

251 15 09 01 PLT This is Jack on channel A with regard

to the MiB1 - uh - OGI run for the
biomed folks, Dr. Gary Hommet. And in
z-_ additionto Gary's-or - uh - in
addition to Owen's comment, I noticed
that when I first came up here that - uh -
I had a much more - uh - positive indication •
of a - uh - left rotation that I did a
right rotation. However, I noticed
today that - uh - the right rotation was
as positive as my left if not more so; and - uh
I thought this might have something to do
with - uh - the fact that I always - uh -
rotate to the right during the - uh -
motion sensitivity part of the test, that
is, clockwise. But perhaps I was - uh -
getting more sensitive - uh - to the
right than to the left because of that or -
uh - perhaps less sensitive to the left because
of that. But - uh - just a observation I
made. As far as the rest of the questions
are concerned, I -uh - did not have any
other - uh - sensations other than rotation

during the test and only during the time

I was rotating. The line target did not
appear at any - uh - appear to move in

the run that occurred at 14:53. It
went okay,. We did all the - uh -
items, I threw in a couple of extra. I
noticed that you were moving down from
a m/nus 205 to a minus _5 which is
• rOgtubly 205 spaces. So - uh -
after I finished the four that you
suggested, I moved up h - 205 spaces which
is plus 35, took one at right 1055 and
then moved over to 815. So you got a
maxi maxi raster, or whatever you want
to call it. Uh - unfortunately, it did not
allow me to get to - uh - active region 9 ...
about 4 minutes; I got there by 2 and did a

A. There, I had to turn off the
par'Ly, there. This is Jack on - uh -
channel A, debriefing the last ARM
run. It began at - uh - II correction,
it began at 13:13. I started right
off by going into J0P 6 - uh -
buildingblocks I-A and 1-B. During
- uh - 1-B - uh'- S05h decided to
rip-off a doulbe sequence and I
truncated it. Uh - after that
- uh - I got the VIR. I gave you
several minutes. Uh - I took
you on a tour of the Sun; all the
active regions - uh - took you
on a tour of the lfmb, looked at
some of the filaments and I gave
you a couple of a markings on the
XUX and gave you a look at the
corona. And then I went on to
- uh - JOB 12, correctionJOB 2 Alfa
on active region 9. Got a nice - uh -
uh - plage in that area to - uh -
lay the lit on and I got what you
wanted there. And the, we went on
to the atmospheric extinction and
completed that. So we got all the

mady my - uh - daily - uh - sketch

doesn't look a heck of a lot different
than it di yesterday at this time.
Uh - lots of brightening on the

fairly bright streamers. On the
east limb, we still got that big -

my debriefing now.

251 14 25 51 PLT Okay, this is Jack on channel A,

subject M131 OG on - uh - Owen
for the biomed people. Uh -
primarly, Dr. Jerry Homick. The - uh -
nitrogen pressure at the end of
Owen's 0GI is ll50. I might add
that at the - uh - end of my
motion sensitivty run, at about
the - uh - twenty_fiftl_ set of
head movements, I - uh - had a
very slight elevation in - uh -
temperature and - uh - I had a
little gas on _y - uh - stomach,
although the temperature was not
p"- enough to give it a tempi nor
or was the - uh - the - uh - gas

But I do notice - uh - now I Just
have a very slight sensation
uh - similiar to what I had on
the ground as - uh - uh - of
having - uh - been sprun. And
"- uh - it's been about a half
hour since I concluded that run.
And I do not feel bad although I
- uh - I have been rotated. And
- uh - and I'm sure the symptons
will pass. It's - uh - not nearly

today, he said, no, they were
pretty well focused for him. And
so I took a closer look at the
focusing on mine. Now when I put
my head into there normally, it's
still - uh - was or about as I
tried to describe it before. The

251 17 13 14 CDR This is the CDR, debriefing the last ATM

run. And it went rather smoothely ... as
planned. I ran the 55 test - uh - that was
sen+. up on the pad in the middle of - uh -
the JOP 2F. It seems that that was okay.
The test came out - tth - I Just did the test
•.. depending on what the problem is ....
there was no way to get it in, plus the ...
so I cut off the quadrant that was in the
upper right-hand corner - that extra one.
In other words I did the four that you
requeste, plus I then did an upper left-hand
one .... both on upper left and on upper
right. Then I did the - uh - uh - ...
CDR out.

251 17 29 46 SPT This is the SPT on channel A - uh - with

information duriation to the MI31 PIs,
including Doctor Jerry Homick. Okay, I
wanted to debrief that 131 run I just
completed - uh - with myself as the subject.
I got started on the debriefing by recording
at anothe/station. And they took the tape
f recorder away so you may gotten part of theat
debriefing on the other channel and I don't
know how much. So whatever ... the whole
thing. First of all, on the OGI portion,
we've talked about the lack of focus in the
goggles. When I asked Jack about it
during his run - uh - he said it looked like
it focused pretty well. And so when I -
uk - came time for my turn, I took a look
in there and it looked like the same as
it did before.

251 17 30 33 SPT There is one bright vertical line - uh -

fairly wide and a little bit fuzzy. And then
on it's left side a - just sort of a -
uh - deminishes in intensity, but degrades
on out in decreasing intensity for another
two or three bar widthes. So it's Just
that it's blurred and hazy and dimmer to the
left. Which is pretty much the way I'd
 Dump Tape 251-09
Page 2 of B

remembered it all along. Becauseit ....

looked all right to Jack, I tried experi-
menting, moving my head around - moving in
and out and so on.

251 17 31 06 SPT But I found that I could get it in focus

by moving my head to the right in the
goggles - the opposite point where they
normally are accustomed to sitting or
where they sit on the bite board - uh -
by Just a couple of millimeters. And so I
really think that's the problem. Itts
the fact that the objects are set up are a
little bit wider eyespacing - uh - than I
happen to have. And - uh - if I do move
my eye out to the right, why then it would
get into fairly sharp focus. Of course
I tend ot say from my point of view that,
so I just wrote it normal ... and the
lack of focus from the extra width is not
a bother. It does not kppear to affect
the - uh - preception of the - uh - uh -
illusion.

_" 251 17 31 h5 SPT So - uh - I think that - uh - may explain

uh - the lack of focus, and - uh - as far
as I'm concerned ther_s no problem ... as
it is. Now on the motion sensitivity,
I thought I'd must give it a try in the
counterclockwise direction. As far as I
know, I've never spun counterclockwise
before, ... on the ground or up here. And
uh - this time there was no problem. All
the systems were Just about like before.
Except, if anything, I don't notice that
byro tumbling that I'd talked about before.
And as I think I've mentioned before that
that phenomenon seems to have diminished.

251 i_ 32 22 SPT And I - uh - Just hardly noticed it all

at this stage. I think, if anything, it's
diminished further and finally it's gone.
The thing that I do feel when I move around
is Just a sort of a tumbling. I just feel
like I'm - uh - being tumbled in space, and
 Dump Tape 251-09
Page 3 of 3

then I - uh - which I guess my vestibular'

apparatus is - is dong. So that's about
the only effect, no other symptoms. Now,
my body has grown accustomed to the Coriolis
force for a clockwise rotation. And so for
a bout the fifth - first 50 - uh - hip
motions, I was very clearly accentuating -
uh - the - uh - deviation of my body from
the normal straight line trajectory; whereas
before if - before, I continued to fight
Coriolis forces by - uh - by - uh -
altering my - uh - or certain muscles -
pulling certain muscles in a certain
direction. Now we're spinning counter-
clockwise. That same muscle pull only
accentuates the deviation or the excursion
of my body. •

251 17 33 30 SPT So - uh - it took about 50 or 75 before my

body began to get a little more accustomed
to being sent around the way it was for
this rotation direction. And then it settled
down to more or less last 75. But it caused
_ no unusual vestibularsymptoms even though
I did hay - uh - larger body excursions
than I would have normally had - uh - at
the clockwise rotation. So that was -
uh - rather interesting to do because it
sort of surprised - uh - your body to
be - uh - pushed around the way it was.
There's no other symptoms of discomfor or
anything else.

251 18 h7 57 SPT Okay, this is the SPT debriefing the

last ATMpass which Just ended at about -
uh - 18:45 Zulu. And - uh - the principle
interest was this coronal transient.
Uh - as I mentioned on real time -
uh - for this pass which was largely
sort of my option as to how I set it -
uh - before getting started on my
alignments which was about the only
thing scheduled here, I - uh - took
a quick scan around the active regions
and then went hack to Sun center to
take a look at the white light corona-
graph. Uh - upon opening the aperture
door and getting the vidieon operating -
uh - it had been set at roll of zero,
and I noticed that the - uh - corona,
right up around that little dusk -
dust fleck at 2 o'clock, looked a little
bit unusual. And I _1_ost chalked
it off to Just being the normal fur-
tiv_tion to the picture that's produced
by that - uh - dust particle. And -
uh - fortunately decided, well, I'll
Just roll the canistera littleways -
uh - see if there's anything behind that
dust particlethat's causing it to - ..
uh - look a little unusual. So, for-
tunately, I did roll the canister until -
uh - the - uh - region at about 070 -
uh - rolled down to about - uh -
h o'clock.

251 18 h9 20 SPT And then it became obvious that it was

something unusual in order to see a -
uh - uh - different sort of structure.
I'm looking at three polaroids that
I took - uh - one taking about 18:00,
one 18:50 and one 18:32 - uh - Zulu,
and there appears to be one band of
brightness - uh - that - uh - more or
less - uh - radialbut stillthe
edges are parallel, that is constant
throughout all these - uh - photo-
graphs. So I presume that - uh - that's
 Dump Tape 251-10
Page2 of 5

the - uh - coronal - uh -signature or

the coronal - uh manifestation of
active region 10. And then behind it -
_h - we see - no, we're not necessarily
behind it, apparently - uh - I assume
behind it, is a loop structure and where
it intersects the - this other - uh -
ring structure there is a very signifi-
cant increase in brightness. And this
extends about 1 solar radius above the
occultin_ disc.

251 18 50 22 SPT I suppose that put it about - uh-

1-1/2 - uh - solar radii, that's the top
of the loop, and then additional brightness
extends on in 2 or 3/10 of a solar radii.
But the top of the loop must be at about
1-1/2. solar radii at 18:00. Now - •

251 18 50 48 SPT By 18:15 - uh - this has extended on

out - oh, perhaps 2 or 3 tenths of a
solar radii further, and it's ... has
increased a little bit. And then by
f 18:32 it is on out - uh - probably to -
uh - 3 solar radii - the top of the loop.
And as you can see the contingents of
the loop now - uh - where it intersects ' " '-
the occulting disc is beyond the edges
of these - uh - uh - original rays, that
I mentioned, that I assume are due to
_ctive region i0. "

251 18 51 29 SPT And the top of the loop is - uh - Just

barely visible on my polaroid. Of course,
it should be nicely visible on the S052.
So - uh - it looks like we caught the
transient fairly early and - uh . I'm
not sure what you want to do the next
orbit, although it would seem - u_h -
likely that you would want to follow this
transient again. And - uh - we'll probably
have voice contact with you, and I'll
check the schedule here to see what's
c_!ng up. I don't even remember at
the moment - uh - who is - uh - on the
panel as to what the schedule looks like.
I'll check that next. As far as the other
 Dump Tape 251-10

experiments are-c_neerned ----_ I ..............

did t_ke one 82 A exposure - uh -
80-seconds - after talking with you
folks on the ground.

251 18 52 12 SPT And - uh - we brought Jim Milligan's

experiment here - uh - uh - in a number
of modes - uh - both - uh - uh - patrol
normal - uh - single frame long and just
towards the end of the orbit, I gave you
a - a one approximately IB minute exposure,
Jim, on filter number 3. Uh - I have
to check the time exactly off the - uh -
photographic record. But - uh - we had
to cut it a little bit short but - uh -
about l0 minutes I've got - you got about
a 13 minute exposure on filter number 3.

251 18 52 h6 SPT And I hope that will bring out any - uh -

uh - coronal siguature and X-rays that
there may be. So that's" the debriefing
for the last orbit and - uh - I'd be
s interestedto find out - uh.- if there is
any other - uh - ground based - uh-
evidence for this - uh - event.

251 18 53 07 SPT End of the debriefing for the ATM PIs

251 18 53 39 SPT Okay, this is the SPT back on channel A

message to the ATM PIs and planners.
I see our next - uh - orbit is - uh -

the way, the - uh - coronal transient
is no longer visible on our scope up here,
although, recognizing that you - uh -
get photographic data up to six solar radii,
why - uh - perhaps there's still something

That's working all right. Drive
well on beyond. In case this is
a linear drive bring it back to

there for the whole run. Okay, now
I've got everything set except my _.
cocking levers. Both cameras are - --
uh - cocked. I have this - uh - L_
UV camera set on F/2 and the time is
set on T; motor function is set of
T, as w_s the one down on the visible -_

30:45, and 31:45, i minute later --.
we're going to make Four rapid -
8-second exposures 2700 Angstroms
about 30 seconds apart I understood
on the voice link is satisfactory.
And then we got a long delay until
we get down to our - uh - horizon.

251 21 27 29 SPT Okay, I have already noted that we -

I guess - somehow you need to sort of
keep track of how much time you're
putting on there for us, please.

251 21 34 47 SPT I didn't see any contrails. 21:43,

about 8 minutes away from the horizon.
Okay, let me check the frames that
are remaining to make sure they are
what we want. 14, we've taken 6.
We've got 8 - further read 8 frames
on the UV camera.

CC ...

251 21 35 33 SPT Okay, the only comments on - for hand.

exposure is track on good horizon
and initiate exposure manually. Okay,
I will therefore not recock the UV.
I will recock the visible. And of
course no telling exactly when that
one will go. And the filter we
want, the 2700. Move it back to 2700 _ _"
from the last 3200 exposure. And
this is also supposed to be a 32-second
exposure. So I'm changingmy timer ""
to 32 seconds. And 21:43 is the time
we're looking for. Still about
6 minutes off. Okay, we've got this
all set. Timer set.

251 21 36 53 SPT Okay, I can see why that - uh - visible

went off Just little bit out of the
middle of the picture. Again in -
uh - glare that'scomingin the
window, I set my timer on the side,
at the edge of this little block
rather than on the white line.
The white line is actually set at
about Ii seconds instead of 8 and
that would account for the 1/8
of a drill [?] sS_ost exactly.
The edge of that little block
also looks white. So - uh - does
mean that - uh - the visible camera

other than I think the run went
off Just about as scheduled. "I've
got all the general esse_utials out
i-- of the site and I thinkI was
tracking the targets pretty, accurately,
though there's undoubtedly a couple
of kilometers of Jitter on the
ozone photography looking down - •
a coupleof kilometersat - uh - ."
100, 200, h00 kilometers. That 's
only 1/200, which is like one-third
• of a degree. So -.uh - I'm pretty
sure I was within plus or minus of
one-third of a degree. On that
order anyway - on the - by order -
uh - I mean no more than a factor
of two. My guess is it's like plus
or minus a couple - couple 3 kilo-
meters on the ground. And on the
horizon it way - uh - probably a
smaller accuracy error because the
target was moving - was moving very
• slowly. Uh _ any other comments
_' that would be of interest to you.
Okay, I can't think of any, so I'm
going to turn the SIA record
off at this time and these - uh -
comments go to the S063 PIs and -

251 21 _9 07 SPT Okay, this is the SPT back on channel A

with - uh - postscript to the
message to S063 PIs, Wally Teague
and Jack Lew. I forgot to give you
the - uh - frames remaining. On the
ultraviolet camera there are 7 frames
remaining, as it should be. 0n my
visible camera, I have at this point
57 frames remaining as indicated
on the back of the camera. On the .;
top of the camera which is really -
taped over, so it was only half
a frame, I coveredthe tape sound -
of bicycleand it reads 4. Now - _
uh - it was reading 60 when I
began; I did not look at the top
under the little piece of tape.
It really looks like it is only
taken 3 or h frames on this visible
s camera. Now why that is I don't
know. I certainly rechecked that - __ "
uh - uh - visible - uh - lever. ."
I also checked it before the run
and I heard the - uh - I heard .... .
the - uh - uh - motor start the
Nikor 01 visible camera cycling. _

251 2-1 50 32 SPT So what I'm going to do is to uh -

go up there and - and - uh - pretend
to track a couple of targets and
try to get on the outside and make
sure that this visible camera
cycles everytime it should. As
you'll remember early - now mayb e
that is right. No, for every one
of those - uh - 8-second exposure,
I reset both levers. So it should
have triggered them both times.
• Hey, you rememberthere was a time
or two that I didn't - I didn't
hear the visible go - uh - I suppose
those were the times that it did
not. As to which ones - uh -
 i

which one has the visible target I -

uh - can't say at this time. I'm
sure from the timing and the terrain
you'll be able to establish by
which they were, but right now
I don't know, I'm going to go up
and cycle it a couple more times
to check that micros_ritch lever.

251 21 54 5_ SPT Okay, I've tried it out a couple

of times. Uh - first of all I
found that - uh - despite the fact i_
the visiblecamerawas cocked,
verified, before the run, when I
doublechecked it again now, I could
cock it manually. So I cocked it -
. •• manuallyand ran through the normal
- uh - drive cycle with the SAL +

window and the micros_ritch tripped

it off and it drove from 57 do_rn to
s • 56. 0kay.

CDR ...
251 21 55 25 SPT And - uh - then I - uh -tried it --
again and this time when I drove back -
up through there, I heard the shut-
ter - now - switch open and I presume
close but the motor drive never
drove it. And so I came down again
and found that I had to manually
reset it. And so it looks like the
microswitchis - uh - is trigging •
the camera shutter, but for some
reason its motor drive is not -
not drivingthe - uh - the camera
to the next frame.

251 21 56 06 SPT And I reverified - I haven't seen -

so - uh - I don't know what sort
of a malfunction that is, but it's
one that I've not encountered before
and I think I will give you a call
on the down-link and - uh - see if
you can explain it." End of this

CDR Wotuld- -

251 22 07 33 CDR Okay, this is the beginning of

what's known on the schedule as
- uh - crew inventory but the
whole point of the thing - uh -
is it is directed to - uh - the
SL-4 prime and backup crew with
the idea of showing them how we're
living up here without - uh -
cleaning up the place or moving
things around like we sometimes
do for other TV or - uh - jaz-
zing it up in any way. Uh -
you'll find that I haven't prac-
ticed this• I don't have any
lighting set particularly for
it, the lightings are Just
exactly like we use them during
the day and sometimes they
change and - uh - whatever way
they are now is the way we are
shooting it. So you will notice
that I will be out of focus some-
times, I'll try to zoom in for
you sometimesI'ii brush through
the light. Please excuse it but
 DumpTape251-11 !
Page 12 of 25

............... a--_-L--Ks I Say, tH@-#_51@-o_oj_c% -

is Just to show you how we're
living up here, show you where
things are, amd maybe aid you in
getting started.

251 22 08 37 CDR Uh - I think - I think probably

the best bet is to - uh - - uh -
I won't he in the picture, I'ii
Just be shining it on these
things and talking about it. I'll
- uh - try to point out to you
some things that I think are d_if-
ferent from the trainer. One of
the recommendations I would have
to begin with - uh - Jerry, is
- uh - that - uh -you try to
- uh - configure - the trainer so
that it is in a operating condition
so that all the little straps
are out, and all the bungees are
out. All the comm cables are
out in the right places. Things
like that will help you find this "-
gear. We got up here and it was .-_
all tucked away. We put it out
and - uh - we didn't know where
to put it and we put it some-
where and move it two days later _
cause we found we were putting it
in the wrong place so - enough
said on that. Uh - I think it -
it Just behooves you to get all
this gear out, and maybe you have
alreadydoneit - uh - if you
haven't, please do. I'll give
you some examples in a few minutes.

251 22 09 40 CDR Okay, let's start up here at the

MDA end. First of all, there's
one of the suits. And I - uh -
think it's a good idea to put
the - uh - fellow who's going
to do the - uh - uh - do the - uh -
M509 and T20 suit in that position,
/_ which is essentially just stand-
ing up there - uh - right next to
 Dump
Tape251-11 --
Page
13 of25 ---
t

the fan that goes into the

cormaud module. Just stand him
up over there in the corner lean-
ing - lean him between the drogue
and the probe and - uh - he's
easy to get out and he doesn't
get bent and he doesn't get
b_ped into and - uh - it's
really a good spot. Since you
get that suit out more than
any other, that's a good place
to put it. It's not that impor-
tant but that where we've ended
up doing, Okay, the other suit
is up here over the top of the
hatch. And let me see if I can
open the lens a little bit.

25i 22 l0 _5 CDR Okay, you can see him in there

over the hatch• Now he's a
/f
littlebit tighterto get in.
What we had to do there is
lower the hatch, kind of put
him in position, and then close
.... the hatch sort of over him.
Now you have to pull his arm
back behind that duct as you
can see - you must see his
watch there. Arm behind the
duct but essentially you can
get him in an out-of-the-way
place and you don't bend the
suit. One of the things we
tried to do up here _as not bend
the suits too much so that they'd
get crevices where they could
gather moisture. You will notice
his hand - it's in front of his
light, sort of, hut you can find
a spot - those are easy to get
into•

251 22 ll 21 CDR The third suit we got under the -

we got under the - uh - the - uh -
table for the - uh - ATM. Now
it's kind of hard to see - there's
his arm coming out. If I look
 Dump
Tape251-i1
Page
14of25 J

back here I can see his legs,

they stick out. But no - there
is nothing ever gets down there,
The cable running across it, in-
cidentally_is to the 5_ timer.
.. I will show you where that is in
a few minutes. But in order to
keep dirt from brushing off our
shoes - which we don't have much
of anyhow - we just laid a
plenumum [sic] bag over the top of i
b_m - of the suit. So that is i
why it doesn't look exactly like a
suit but it is and it's found -
it's in a good place. Now that's
the hardest one to get in and - uh -
but - it essentially slldes out
right out here.

251 22 12 l0 CDR If I were you, I'd get the three

old suits over there at the
trainer and stick them in those
places and leave them there....
Cause there is no reason that
- uh - they shouldn't be there .'*

and you can learn to work them.

You will see right in front of
it is the plenum bag that houses
the - uh - uh - PCU for- for the
EVA B Man, we just keep it in
there along with his cable, his
knife, and it doesn't bother
anybody and nobody bumps into it
and nobody hits it and itfs right
there ready for use when - uh - uh -
EV-B gets ready to use it. Normal,
Jack in our case, pulls it out.
Let's don't look at the suits any-
more, let's go back to the front,
see if there's anything back here
at the front that's worth looking
at.

251 22 12 49 CDR Okay, let me show you one other

item up here. Oh, by the way, since
we got the - uh - the - uh - rate
gyros they took the place where this
 Dump
Tape251-11 ,
Page
15 of25 ; : j

- uh - uh - tree used to be - the

VS tree. So we have Just taken the
VS tree and put it up there and kind
of put a spring around it and held
it to the handle as you can see,
put some tape. Incidentally, I
called down for ya'll to bring some
more gray tape. Now I think you
got plenty already here but it
never hurts to have - uh - a roll
or two. I'd bring a couple of
rolls if I were you and I would - -.
bring one roll of that what's
called neutral 2-inch wide tape.
I think you have enough up here !
but it neverhurts.

251 22 13 29 CDR Okay, let's look down here then,

Okay, what we are looking at is
the coran box right by the EREP.
f One of the thingsthat we found
out - you will notice that that
automaticlight control ten_s to
get em. Is - when we're doing
EREP, we like to have these little ,;
bunny hats on, so we keep one _ ."
connected to A right here. Just
wrapped around and sort of stuck
down there,you can see it - it
doesn't go anywhere and it doesn't
ever get hurt. And then the man
that is running the C-D uses that
one. The one that the man _Innlng
the - uh - VTS is Just hanging up
here over the - uh - - uh - vacuum
chamber. His cable runs along -
we Just got it strung here. N.
It looks like heck but it works. Our
aim all the time is - when we are
here, even before we came - was to
get this stuff rigged up and - uh -
use it, and not fool around with
taking it down and wrapping it up
and coiling it and all that business.
DumpTape251-ii
Page 16 of 25 _ _ L

As long as it was safe it wasn't

going to get damaged, then that's
-we Just left it in place. This
stuff is safe and hasn't been
damaged. Okay, uh - nothing much
more there.

251 22 14 40 CDR As you know, we've - got - uh - no

way to aligh the - uh - uh - uh -
191 any more, so we put tapes around
those two alignment lock knobs.
So they're - they were aligned and
they didn't seem to drift, we just
don't have any trouble. You will
notice we have added g few more
clamps and clips there, you will
see the little rig that - that -
was invented to hold the pages down -
we don't usually put the book there
is the fire chart. Right there is
the - emergency rapid DELTA-P. They're
perfect places, you'll also see two
clips right in there that we use for -
for EREP also. Now that little rag
in front of that blower is what we
dry out the command module moisture
and we Just leave it there so it will
dry out. And we move it away from
there for EREP, but there is a clip
behind there, the same one that is
holding that one. We put another couple
of charts up there. Also we tend to
take some charts out and put behind
where the EREP - where the camera system
is right now. You can't see it, but •
over in that area. Uh - uh - that's
about it up here.

251 22 15 54 CDR Uh - let me show you where we have been

keeping the captain's chair. We
haven't been using it much. We found
that we like to Just put Our feet
in the grid and just kind of swing
back forth. The thing that we
found undesirable about the chair was
the fact that it - it locked great to
the - to the flooring but the flooring
 _ Tape 251-11
Page17of25 _ _ _ i

itself was loose and so it was like

sitting on a three - you know a chair !
in a restaurant where one leg is longer
or shorter, and you're rocking all
around. So we Just float around, I'll
show you that - let me show you that
right now and then we will talk A_
for a few minutes. Let me set this
up and point it that way - I don't
know what kind of - no, let me not
do it. Le suffice to say that you
Just put your feet in it and roch
back and forth. Maybe Jack will come
up here in a minute o_ so and will
ask him to do it. Okay, let me
back off here in the corner away
•" from the - from the panel here, and
see if I can show you what we got.

f-_ 251 22 16 51 CDR Okay, this is far as I can move back,

but let's talk about the items.
First of all - and these aren't the
best places. You can probably get
better ones. We Just put them where
the Velcoro was. There's the Polaroid
camera just sort of stuck on that
stowage spot. Where you got the
timer up there from the co_nd module,
forget it. We'll take it and throw
it away; you won't need it cause you
got the 5_ timer. Then the rest of
the notes up there are notes that
have to do with rate gyro failures
and things like that• We haven't
been using the overlays much - every
once in awhile there's a permanent
general message about something else•
Looks a little messy; we know where
everything is and - I think that works
pretty well - it's a nice area to use,
and I know you are familiar with it.
Right under there is the V - is the
image intensifier and it's been working
real well for us as you know. Now
 Dump Tape 251-i1
Page 18 of 25 _

_uother place we sometimes put them

is on the door of the - those plebes
those two pieces of Velcoro there on
the door of the flight d_ta file. B_t
we found when we opened the door, the
flight data file would fly off. But
sometimes _e stick them there anyway.

251 22 17 56 CDR Okay, let's look at the corner here.

You can see wetve got some Polaroid
pictures that we stuck that we took
of the Sun today. I like to taki one
of H-alpha and mark th e numbers of
active regions if we got a bunch.
And Owen likes to take them. Here's
one he took of - of he called it ...
.... You can see the 54 box there; it's
taped do_n, works real well. We
tried putting it under places. I
don't think that's optimom. A
couple of times I've moved the pointing
where the 54 was still running and
'' it was very bad thing to d°, wasted ......
some frames, but I - uh - can't
find a better place. You may have
found one, if you do have a better
one, fold it up _e might' ve tape it.
It's not perfect there but it's the
best we can find.

251 22 18 h0 CDR Now that far right cllp over there,

what I've got down as a note that has
to do with anything ws are doing up
here that is not ATM like we have been
running some battery chocks, CBRM
battery checks, that' s a note there.
We ran - uh - some other - things
recently and put them there. Rgith
underneath that photo there in the
corner you will notice is the - the -
uh - powerdown and powerup from
unattended. We'll bring those home
so you can see the margin we got on
them. Cause they're different than
 i

what we use in the simulatior and I

not sure all that information gets back.
Over here now we have - uh - just some
shopping lists sticking out, also
under there are our teleprinter fail
ones. In that far right one, I Just
got that kind of catty-corner out
cause it's easier to see and sometimes
we operate with it there.

251 22 19 26 CDR Up a little higher now, right there

in the middle we keep all our star
tracker pads or star t#acker information.
Right next to it there under that
. • coronagraph picture is where we. keep
the - uh - the SAP and all that sort
of business. It turns out to be a
good place because the lighting is
prettygood there. The lightingisn't -
that grand in here. You got to get i
things you are reading - uh -
fairly close to you to the side. Uh -
so these three spots: here, here,
and here are the - by far the best. .....
If you plant your feet in position,
you can move back and forth and around
and get a littleexerciseand work
them at the same time. We've noticed
that some of these frames, by the
way, are springing so they don't
hold things down. That's why we got
clips sort of attached in some
places, let me show you - see, they're
clipped behind there. Okay, there's
right in front of you is the - uh -
uh - uh - normal J0P summary sheets
we use. The ones beneath are the ones
we are pulling in and out all the
time including 8. J0P 3 we keep over
here, and we've noticed we never ever
used our player car, which is up there.
So you might want to think about that.

-4 251 22 20 33 CDR The J0P summary sheet is written well

enough now, plus you kind of get a

,,- T "C
 Dump Tape 251-11
Page20 of25

l_tl@ bit used to it_an_-_o-tha_s

what we been using the center part of
that. You can see the clip there and
that's where we put our schedule pP_d.
The way we do it is, we got it folded
and then the minute we finish that day,
we tmclip it, refold it, and put down the
next day and that way you're always
working near the top - that's worked real
well. A_ operate pad is there - uh -
let me look and show you around and you
can see what we got in the way of other -
uh - things here• There's nothing special
that's different too much from anything
you have been doing. Nothing - nothing
new - We got some scotch tape up here
• couse lot of times you will spend the _
night up here; it's a good place to m_ke
corrections for your Checklist. Believe
me there is - _ot of them. I asked Ted
r_ Guillory- them to tell Ted G_illoryto
come up with some sort of rig for down-
stairsto hold your gear for a checklist
so the book doesn't float off, the pens,
and pencils and things and that's up
here Just dto do that sort of thing.

251 22 21 34 CDR Right there in the emergency procedure

we have in case we have attitude control
loss. It's not the world greatest pro-
cedure, but it sure beats the - what we
had before and it may save you some
time• So that's a good place I think
to put yours, if you want it. There's
a cable that Owen sometimes used for
the headset to debrief or talk when he
wants to talk to the ground the ATM.
Uh - normally our - uh - normally -
excuse me - I had to turn something
off, it was going to wiggle. Normally
our - EREP is plugged in now but the one
you see plugged in at the moment in
that box is the one I'm using and the
EREP is sort of above it so when I get
finished I'll - unplug this and go to the
 Tape251-ii i
Page 21 of 25 ,

_EPone_-L@tme- sh0w_oY/-%he ra%_gyros.

Let me show you - sure you got them in
your - simulator now. There they sit -
and you will see that neatly little
protective device over there which isn't
too grand - and we definitely need some-
thing better than that and I'm hoping you're
bringing it up, because as you whistle
by that area, which is right behind
the guy operating, you can really get
him. We haven't done it hut we have
been very careful. _.

251 22 22 42 CDR Now I might show you something also. We

have gone ahead and covered that - uh -
switch down there that - uh - circuit.
breaker housing. Let me show you that
circuit breaker while we are at it. Not
the circuit breaker house - that's the

j_ high power. Let me find- that circuit

breaker for you, and show you what we've
done. Needs - it need s to be improved,
too. Okay, there it is - what it is is
that little medal clamp with some gray
tape over it - over the plate that it .
hooks to the guard so it won't rotate.
Now I know you still don't see that too
well but it may be better than nothing.
We put some hungers up here cause we
found we were doing a lot of photographing
up here. So there's the interior
camera shapped down to a couple of bonges
over the guard and that way we can get to
window 1 which is the window used most
and sometimes you use h but it faces the
Sun a little bit too much and a iot of
times you will use window h.

251 22 23 40 CDR So essentially you can come in here,

get your cameras, and as many times as
have the cameras there, with those
bungees we'll leave them right in place
for you. Even though it'll look a
little messy we'll leave them there.
We'll clean the place up but we're going
 Dump Tape 251-11
Page22of 25 [ _i _I
e

leave the equipment out in the operating

position so that you won't have to -
you will at least start from where we
were. Now down there is - the edge - uh
of the plen_n bag as I mentioned where we
got out PCU. But you will also - that's
a great place to stick the orbital map and
the maps that we have for taking pictures.
You know those - that little set of
Earth maps, which incidentally is good,
but you could need something even better
than that with more detail I believe.
Uh - anyhow, that's - uh - we stick them
in there sometimes ; it works okay. Forgot
to mention there's a tape recorder sort
of hanging there below the comm box.
We keep one - uh -set - uh - little
messed up bit of wir in part of it to
this TV and the other part that - uh -
_'_" tape recorder. We leave it there and
then when you come up here you play music.
One of the things we found is really great
is to bring your tapes up here. Play
them while you do the ATM and - uh -
it Just really passes the time - it's
the only time you really have sort of -
uh - kind of by yourself and you come
up here and spend 2 or 3 hours and it's
really pleasant to work the ATM, which
is a lot of fun, a good challenge, and
I'll tell you the whole thing is - build's
your humility, though, because there's
no way to go very long on any of this
without making mistakes and you Just hope
you don't make any that are too large.

251 22 25 l0 CDR We - I don't think we have made any large

ones yet, but I'll tell you - you're
doing something every minute. You' re
throwing a switch_ or reading this
thing. You think you are good till you
get here and then you find out you're not
as good as you think but maybe that's
food for you. So anyhow, I think I'm
 DumpTape251-11
P_ge 23 of 25

giving you a pretty good tour of the

MDA - let me see if there's anything
special here.

251 22 25 32 CDR Oh, ymah, one other thing. This is

where we been stashing our - our - uh -
polaroid films. We always put a - uh -
daytime group on CWM, then use them for
a couple of days and then when they get
out of date we put them over there.
We'll leave that bag for you. There's
where _e stash the - uh - Earth _naps
and the U.S. map. It's their place,
when we get ready to use them with EEEP
we take them down there and we usually
bring the one up from the. wardroom.

251 22 26 00 CDR Let me mention something you are going to

want to do, Jerry, you're going to get
f EREP to mark out these sites he's gonna ""
send you up to do handheld photos. And
you may want to bring up one of these
charts that are marked on there nice with
additional notes. And you are going to
_mnt to have them marked by number on
the chart so that you can look - so that
when they send up a new - say do target 10,
handhold, you don't have to go two or
three places to find out what to do.
And somehow you ought to _a able to put
it on that chart with a little arrow
that says "On this one, we want you to
look for falls and tracks and want you
to look for this and look to see if
you see a drought area and all this other."
Because it turned out to be one of the
tougher things but I think it could be
one of the better things that you do.

251 22 66 _6 CDR Uh - I don't know I got to get

back to the ATM. I'll give you some
more of this later. Uh - right now
 Dt_ap
Tape 251-11
Page2_of25 _ _ '

.................... #e're got the -uh---f6_t_---uh-

uh _ restraint there that's the greatest
thing since popcorn. Our biggest - one
of our biggest mistakes in EREP was not
having one of those for the VTR. Sure
you can hold on by your hands, but then
you cna't grab your map cause you are
holding on. And - if you got your geet in
• something you can grab maps and torgue
around _ud grab this may - uh - you will
find it out with your feet in something
like this it's great. In this p6sition
now to do the 518 I believe and normally
_e keep it - normally we keep it in the
EREP.

251 22 27 22 CDR By the way_ the tape'recorder clesming

has been a piece of cake up here. We
found no dirt to speak of. We've -uh -
-_ cleanedthem everytimebut - I think
there is a waste of time in some respects
to bother to cleaning them. We do it.
We got the cleanest tape recorders on
Earth. We clean them everyday and never .........
get any dirt on them, but just a little.
Now- one other thing up here at this
uh - high power outlet up here at the
top - this - high power accessory -
outlet it's the only one besides the
one at the VTR - it's the - uh - only
one besides.

251 22 28 12 CDE Wonder if this VTR is running7 Let

me do a little thinking. What they have
done is taken the VTR - see what Jack
has done. Uh - normally the VTR is plugged
in there, and we take it out to do - uh -
the vaecum cleaning because that is
where the bacuum cleaner has to pl_ in,
but I see what Jack has done, he has
taken the VTR cable out and ran it on
this cable all the way down to the dome
because that - he's got to run 518 through
there. So this is an unusual configuration.
But essentially, you're a little short
_ Dump Tape 251-11 I
Page25of25 i

---of-high power outlets_--So_when you_w_nt-

518 you might want to - it doesn't
look worth a darn but it works - you
might want to run this cable - double high-
power cable - all the way back through the
alrlock to the dome,. Works okay. Okay,
I've got to get off this now I hope this
I'll give you some more tonight. We'll
go down and talk about the workshop,
some of the other places down there.
And - that's the CDR with VTR information
to the backup crew, Jerry Carr, Bill Pogue,
Ed Gibson, Vance Brand, Bill Lenoir and
DonLind.

251 22 29 27 CDR So you shoot it to them and I'ii turn it

off now.

251 22 46 o7 sPT *** picking up 0n that _87-3 evaiuai{onguide--

nnml_er 3. But I started about 45 minutes ago and
- uh - I had a little .•. This message goes to
the 487 Pls. l'm commenting on the adequacy of
these - uh - ... tool kits and maintenance tasks.
Most of these I've not done. For the most part,
these maintenance tasks have been done by A1 and
Jack. The scheduling has been such that I've been
•.. elsewhere, I guess. And I can only comment
in general.

251 22 46 56 . SPT The tool kit which I have used most - uh - tool
kits from the - uh - experiment area, I think they
had things stowed adequately. There have been a
few tools missing, a few tools that we did not have
that we needed. For example, we needed a tool for
repair of the ergometer pedal. We didn't have that.
We needed a smaller tool for the repair of the re-
fractometer in the medical kit, and had to modify
one of the drivers. So it's not as complete a kit
as might be desired. But - uh - the sockets and
drivers and handles and things, I think - uh - I
think they workedprettywell.

251 22 47 37 SPT I've not used any repair kit or 190 maintenance
kit - 5 - M512 tools. The _"J maintenance kit -
we used that ... for EVA. That all seemed to
work reasonably well• We don't use it any longer,
so I don't know that that little blue box over
there that bangs arotund on the wall and gets
knocked off and everything - it's a clumsy arrange-
ment. I suppose we can put up with it once a
month; but if you're ever redesigning the kit, I
certainly wouldn't want a maintenance kit designed
like that. Sewing kits in the back - uh - Sup-
posed to stay on anything with support ... Seems
a pretty poor maintenance, but we only use it once
a month.

251 _2 48 19 SPT Work sites - I don't know where the work sites are.
You work where ever the Job is. You take, for
example, the ATM now. The foot restraints at the
ATM are very adequate, and it worked well. Light-
ing - I say it's poor, if you're going to do any
 Dump Tape 251-12

reading. The place to read if you really wanted

to read something or add something new where you
can see by the wardroom window - tth - in the day
time, when you got clear sunlight. I did set down
the other day all these light measurements. You
felt that those numbers, down around 2 or 3 foot-
candles A or foot-lamberts, - why you'd think
they're- ... low.

251 22 48 57 SPT On-board data package - seems adequate. And the

preflight prep for maintenance tasks - I don't
feel that I want to comment on, because I've not
been doing most of these. And now Jack's comments
appear to be - uh - a lot more - uh - valuable if
you ever want to - to give you specific informa-
• tion throughout these specific" items. So - uh -
with that brief report, - uh - I'll call 487-3
evaluation guide complete. Give this to the PIs.

251 22 h9 29 SPT SPT message out.

251 23 21 19 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A. We

got A1 Bean in the can. This is for the biomed
. people, M092. And - uh - A1 Bean's left calf
measures 12-3/4 inches ; his right calf measures
12 and - correction, 13-1/4 inches. And I'm not
going to give you the legbands and all that be-
cause it's not changed and you've got it from be-
fore.

while.

Just a final note about the transient that -
uh - we first observed this morning about
18:00 on a little before, and - uh - which
we - uh - then - uh - recprded data on ...
S052 for the next :wo revs. Uh - I took
another lock at the shite light coronagraph
. a little while ago, say some - uh - oh.,
7-1/2 hours - 7 to 7-1/2 hours after the
first observation. And - uh - the corona
has the following sort of appearance in teh -
uh - northeast - ,mh - correction - northwest
to west sector, brn - there is a group of
more or less parallel rays which appear
to be - uh - originating in active region 10.

251 23 h8 55 SPT Uh - this is Just as it was this morning

And then behind - uh - these parallel rays
this morning - uh - we had the expanding
loop, presumably originating from active
region 7 at about the s_ne latitude, but
rotating behind the limb of the Sun. And -
uh - by this period = say 7 hours _ater -
uh - all of the - uh - brightness associated
with active region 7 - assuming that's the
correct identification, has disappeared
but the parallel - uh - rays - uh - from
active region l0 are still there. And so,
all in all it looks to me like it was a -
uh - rathe/good -uh - oppotunity for
observing a coronal transient. And I'm
quite hopeful that the 52 - uh - data will
look very good. Alongwith perhaps the 180
... of exposures and the several S056
exposures•

251 23 23 49 59 SPT Uh - I wouldn't have been able

to - uh - confirm that transient, I'm sure,
had not had this - uh - polaroid -uh -

When this thing was first observed behind

that we first observed this morning
about 18:00, little before, and - ub -
which we - uh - then - uh - recorded

M092 and M093. And, A1, anel - uh -
the work you put on MO93 was - uh -
310 watt minutes, and that's the end

for the - uh - EREP officer,the guys

that are interested in hand-held

photos. Uh - we Just went over -
uh - the Island of New Britain,
where there's - uh - Mount - uh -
Largila volcano on the - uh -
west end of New Britain. The weather
over the - uh - projected wan -
uh - scattered clouds, and I could
not - uh - distinguish any volcano,,
or the 3 cones making the volcano.
Probably due to clouds. I - uh -
first for a dark lava flow and wan
unable to see any, Due to - most of ::
the island is covered with greenery,
probably trees. And I did not see
any black lava flows like you see
in Hawaii.

252 00 28 16 PLT However, on the west end of the

island, I - uh - saw light colored -
uh - ground - uh - which wan -
uh - actually not a very big area,
which could very well have been one
of the ash flows - uh - that was
spoken about in the description that L
we received in on board, Therefore - " ..
uh - uh - that's just something that
could be checked, and - uh - the -
uh - possible ash flow that I saw
was on, as I said, the west end of
the island.

252 00 28 h6 PLT It appeared to be flowing from the

center northward to the sea, although
it did not reach the sea. That is
on site number - uh - what number
is that? 42. That information goes
to EREP officers.

last orbit - uh - information goes

target you gave me was 18 which is -
uh - listed on the pad as - uh -
uh - Being located a - uh - to
I00 degrees Theta. We can't see that
any longer, but - uh - I checked
as best on H-alpha looking for
brightness; couldn't see any. I did
make a check on the XUV MON. Ston by_

It was requested this morning that I
take six zero mass readings. In other LI
words, Just let the chair rock back amd ..
forth. Let me giye you the reading:

that goes to Dr. Bill Thornton, Mile

information. CDR out.

SPT Okay,this is the SPT on - uh - - ,

channel A with information for the
ATM Pls and planners. Debriefing that
last - uh - rev which was completed
right here about - tth - 01:00 Zulu.
I didn't do as well as I should have
on that thing. Uh - it looks like a
pretty good - uh - plan for sort of a
modified - uh - limb scanning program.
And I do think it will work out in -
one orbit once we get on with it. I
didn't realize quite how long it was going
to take so I took a little time at the
beginning to - uh - uh - get a white
light coronagraph picture mud look
around a little bit. Now there are a
couple of things I didn't do as well
as I should have. The first thing was
- uh - your target was - uh - active region
- uh - 18. Uh - 100 - uh - at what
ranges? That's - uh - active region 02.

And - uh - it's not visible on the i

disk. I did - uh - briefly check
the XUV MON, but I was having a
]_ittle trouble with my camera and
I'm pointing - uh - and the - uh -
persistent image scope - uh - has
- uh - gone on the blink Just this
afternoon. We haven't got it fixed
yet. So I didn't - uh - uh - get a good
enough look at the XUV. And so I
rolled to what I thought was the - uh -
best roll angle.

252 01 07 53 SPT It wasn't exactly i00 degrees theta.

I went about 15 degrees beyond that.
• And I now find from some of my XUV MDN l_
pictures that probably about a 120,
ll5 degrees, ll5 to 120 would have been
a better Theta to use than the one I
f__ used because the I_/V brightness is - uh -
better - is greater at that particular
Theta. So that's the first - uh -
thing that I didn't - uh - uh - like --
the - the way it turned out. It's --
still bright where I used it, but not _ .
as bright as it would have been had I --
stopped about l0 or 15 degrees - uh -
shorter. And - uh - I of course did
not get last 5-minute .exposure, 82_B
wavelength LONG complete. Ran out of
time which I might not have - uh - done
had I - uh - gotten hustling a little
faster at the beginning of the orbit
because I think there is time to do it
all. _:

252 Ol 08 _5 SPT And then finally - uh - for Jim Milligan,

I got his last exposure started at
• i1:30, but forgot to turn his camera
power off. So I - uh - started it
again in - uh single frame h07:h5, and
- uh - then - uh - you've got your
long exposures done properly. Uh -
I let it run clear to h5 seconds time
remaining. Although - uh - very likely
-" you will have some extinction at the
- uh - latter - uh - end of that. I find
........ the XUV MON begins to noticeably
extinguish, along about 1 minute time

remaining, and - uh - the S05 detector -

expender S05 detector will frequently
carry along tmtil about 45 seconds to
55 seconds. So you might not have much
- uh - uh - attervation, but still - uh -
some perhaps. I only gave you a
7-minute exposure there, in - uh - in
- tLh - filter 4, Jim and - _h - everything
else went about as scheduled, although
- _h - I think - uh - the .next time
I wouldn't expected to make those
mistakes which i've Just described.
Okay. That's about it for the last
orbit. Info goes, then, the ATM PIs and
planners from the SPT.

252 02 13 45 SPT SPT on channel A with a message for

- uh - Dr. Robert McCIean the ATM -
ATM PI. Uh - Bob, one thing I had
meant to mention in our debriefing
discussion of that - uh - transient
today. Uh - I wouldn't have been
able to see that had there not been
some - uh - observing time available
to Just look around. You might have
- uh - been in a hurry to get started
on, say even a J0P 6 - uh - which did
require looking at the sun - uh - and
the corona, or particularly some other
active region building block without any
observing time. I think it is very
unlikely that would have been - uh -
noticed.

252 02 14 21 SPT So - uh - it might be worth pointing out

- uh - at some of the planning meetings
that this observing time, although it
does not always i_mlediately pay off in
terms of concrete JOPs accomplished - uh -
it can neverthe-less be quite helpful in
getting such things as I believe the
transient was Fortunately m_ whole pass
was essentially observing time. I wasn't
in any big hurry, and - uh - it - uh -
turned out Just perfect on the timing
again. But - uh - I thought I'd mention
comment to you before I forgot it.

substitued the rate byros because they're
the loudest thing in there. So let me
read to you. And I'll read them in

252 13 23 32 PLT Good morning, space fans, this is Jack

on channel A - uh - debriefing the - uh -
A_,_ run which - uh - began at 12:31. I
ran off of JOP 6 and - uh - one - uh -
change I inadvertently made to your - uh -
request was that - uh - I rolled to - uh -
minus 5400 instead of minus 4800 and so
we're going to be - uh - a little off in
• roll. I noticed it after we'd gotten started
so - uh - I - uh - decided I'd better -
uh - leave it where it was to - uh - complete
the data tape. Uh - VTR was - uh - cranked
up for a few minutes. Then I ran the - uh -
JOP 2-alfa. And - uh - I'm currently
doing the - uh - JOP 7. And - uh - we got
off to a little bit late start on that -
uh - so we're gonna gel% it from 3 minutes
on in as opposed to 5 minutes on in. Uh -
other than that - uh - I reported - uh -
_ two prominences. Stand by i, please.

252 13 2h 57 PLT I reported two prominences - uh - one

at - uh - 120 %%ich - uh - appeared to be
about - uh - standing width 30 to 40 arc seconds
above the limb. And another small one at
about 060. Uh - I 81 - I did my daily -
uh - skit to the corona and - uh - I'll
get oriented right here.

252 13 25 27 PLT Looks like - uh - we still have a couple

of pretty nice - uh - streamers over there -
uh - we've got two of them instead of
one, now at - uh - the east northeast -
uh - side of the limb. And we got -
uh - another pretty well defined one at -
uh - the east - uh - south - east southeast
side. And - uh - so we got three pretty
well defined streamers over there on the
east side now, whereas we only had one
yesterday with a lots of other - uh -
slichtly enhanced area which has gone
away now.

252 13 26 17 PLT So the - uh - slightly enhanced area has -

uh - given way to three - uh - pretty well
/_ Dump_ Tape 252-03
Page 2 of 7

defined distinct streamers on the east

side. On the west side it appears to
be about the same lots of - uh - uh -
sort of enhanced area but - uh - not
too distinct. I_ybe one distinct - uh -
streamer at the - uh - south-southwest
or west-southwest, I should say. And -
uh - we had a little more - uh - enhanced
area yesterday other there, than we have
now, it - uh - certainly is somewhat
enhanced but not too well defined.

252 13 26 55 PLT One other thing I noticed that - uh -

I've never noticed before - uh - in
watching the - uh - scope as we - uh -
went into sunset - actual sunset - I
• did notice - tub- the - uh - waves -
uh - across the H-Alfa the - uh - due
to the - uh - atmosphere and - uh - sort
of ... waves I guess you might call them.
_-- Uh - I did notice the effect of seeing the
sun through the atmosphere, much as it
• would appear - uh - , looking from a
telescope on the ground, it appeared
that - uh - the seeing wasn't very good,
and I could see it move from the bottom
of the scope - or one side of the scope -
uh - across to the other.

252 13 27 41 PLT And - uh - and then of course the sun went

out, but - uh - that was - uh - something
I hadn't seen before, but - uh - was very
apparent seeing these - tub - paralle waves
of the Earth's atmosphere - uh - interupt
the - uh - good seeing that we have up
here - uh - above the atmosphere.

252 13 28 O0 PLT And - uh - that concludes the - uh -

debriefing for today and - uh - for this
rev. And I'll see you in a short time.

252 13 52 32 PLT This is Jack on channel A - uh - the

subject is -uh - ... observations for the
EREP people. Uh - we - drifting over
the Sahara Desert today - uh - was Just
F- kinda looking at the - uh - uh - forms
 Dump Tape 252.03
" _ Page 3 of 7

that the sand made and other terrain down

there. And - uh - basically the sand was -
uh - varying colors - uh - from reddish
to - uh - whitish to grayish.

252 13 52 59 PLT But I noticed that - uh - what appeared

to be - uh - something that appeared to
be - uh - trueing - uh - up out of the
sand or that perhaps the sand was layed
over - tub - some - uh - areas of higher
elevation that - uh - looked like - uh -
uh - volcanic - uh - formations. Uh -
they may not have been, but that's what
they looked like from here. And then it
looks like the sand was layed over top
of them and that just the tops of the
volcanic areas were - uh - sticking out.
And , uh - I know there isn'tmuch water
around that area so I doubt that it was
vegetation. And the other comment about
water, is that it's - uh - very apparent
_" that - uh - there is - uh - littleor
no - uh - water type erosional features
.. in the desert area.

252 13 53 51 PLT However as you get closer to the Mediterranean

coast, this morning I was thinking of the
northern coast - uh - I started to pick up
some erosional features and - uh - you
could see - uh - drainage features - uh -
%_h - pushing - uh - seaward. Uh - as you -
as you got closer - close to the coast you
could see - uh - places where there had
been - tub - at some time or other - uh -
streams which had - uh - had cut their way
into the terrain and Where the water had
washed down from - uh - higher area and -
uh - uh - what appeared to be dry tributaries
today, but - uh - perhaps during - uh - a -
uh - rainy time - uh - at one time held
some water caused - caused erosion features.

252 13 54 35 PLT Now bc.ch into the middle of the desert -

uh - the other thing I noticed was that -
uh - through these - uh - in these -
IAh - outcrops I guess would be a better
/
 Dump Tape 252-03
Page 4 of 7

word for the - what appeared to be the

volcanic - uh - features. In these
outcrops - uh - uh - tops of - uh - hills
that _ere sticking out of the sand -
uh - there were frequently cuts. And - uh -
if you think of the sand as streaming -
uh - the - the effect of wind - uh - blowing
the - uh - sand through these cuts.

252 13 55 07 PLT It appeared to me that the wind in that

area was - uh - predominatly from the
northeast, which was along our track.
And - uh - the reason I say that is because
you could see through these cuts the -
uh - the - uh - streams of sand - uh -
streaming out to the southwest. And perhaps
they were - uh L just - u_ - uh - sauds
streams, but perhaps they were - u_ - uh -
areas of - uh - varying elevation that -
_ uh - cause an kppearance- cause it to
appear that way.

252 13 55 40 PLT But at any rate, it appeared that - uh -

the wind has caused the - uh - sand to
blow through these cuts. And - uh - in
other areas where there's a lot _mre sand,
you could see the - uh - uh - parallel or
linear features - uh - all lined up - uh -
uh - probably with respect to the wind.
Uh - in this case, it appeared that perhaps
the - uh - wind was Just - 90 degrees to -
uh - my earlier observation. That is pri -
primarily from the northwest. Because the -
uh - linear features were - in the sand of
the dunes - were lined up northeast and
southwest. So app - per - perhaps there
are two - uh - uh - wind directions to -
uh - think about there.

• 252 13 56 28 PLT Those that caused the dunes and then - uh -

periodically when the wind is from the
northeast, why it would - would - uh - uh -
stream sand through these cuts that I
noticed. Now I didn't notice any cuts
going the other direction, if I I may have
noticed the streaming in other directions
 Dum_ Tape 252-03
P_e 5 of 7

as well. But the ones that I noticed,

it happened to be oriented in that
direction, so - uh - perhaps - uh -
look_.ng at the dune is a better way
to - uh - determine - uh - the - uh -
general direction of the prevailing wind
in that area.

252 13 56 58 PLT Another thing I noticed _ras that - uh -

as you went down from the higher outcrops,
which were all dark and looked volcanic -
uh - the sand on the periphery of these
was for several miles - uh - uh - more of
a grayish - whitish - uh - color. Uh -
perhaps more of the - uh - color of the -
tub - gradation of the color between the -
uh - outcrop and the - ub - sand which was
in the lower - to the lower lying areas, -
uh - which was more more of a reddish -
_ uh - yellowishcolor. So - uh _ the - the
line of demarcation was very evident also
between the - uh - sand which was close to
the outcrops as opposed to the sand which
was in the - uh - the - uh - lower areas.

252 13 57 42 PLT It - uh - makes you think that - uh - that -

uh - first the volcanic - uh - area was
or - volcanic activity was - uh - present
and then that - uh - later on some - uh -
uh - a sorta reddish bands that I noticed
were - uh - uh - laid down and then perhaps
the - uh - the more - uh - whitish-grayish
ones which I saw close to ... laid in there,
and that the - uh - whitish-gray was - uh -
blown out of the - uh - lower lying areas
and - uh - but was - uh - preserved nearer
to the hills - uh - the hills protecting
that area from - uh - from the wind.

252 13 58 26 PLT Or perhaps - uh - uh - some of the - uh -

sand and dust particles end - uh - and
so forth generated by the hills had - uh -
had - uh - somehow been blown down to
the - uh - uh - to meet with the - uh -
red-yellow - uh - sand in the lower areas.
f So Just a few observationsthat we're able
 Dump Tape 252-03
Page 6 of 7

to _e in space - uh - uh - and - u_u -

the purpose is not so much to describe
you the geology of the Sahara as to - uh -
describe to you what types of features
we're able to see in that kind of area
from our - uh - uh - vantage point up here.

252 13 59 05 PLT And uh - that takes care of the - uh -

Earth observation message for now.

252 13 59 45 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. This is information

for biomed, particularly - uh - _like _._quittle
and the - uh - folks who are interested in -
uh - uh - normal B_D information. This
morning I ate breakfast before I weighed
myself. I realized it during breakfast,
so I continued and ate pvery single thing
that was on the breakfast menu. But that
only. Took one drink of water. Everything
else was as it normallyis, and I'Ii read
you the numbers that I got on the B_Z_.
_n_ich means you ought to be .able to subtract
off the weight of the meal and have the
accurate morning weighing. 6289, 6288,
6285. Sorry Just forgot, but I think -
uh - we're in ... of a culpable position
to determine accurately what I weighed this
morning.

252 14 O0 33 - CDR CDR out. That goes to Mike Whittle and to

anyone else interested in the B_,E_Dreadings,
or morining - uh - weight readings. I'll
read this information down on the - uh -
the - uh - nightly report and mention that -
uh - I've already reached you on channel A.
CDR out.

252 14 56 51 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A,

debriefing the last A_.! run, which began
• at 14:06. I ran a JOP 6, buildingblock 2
and - uh - during that period of time -
uh - 50 - uh - S056 hung up in patrol short
filter five - uh - then we went on to -
uh - JOP 2-F, and I - uh - ran all the

of active one long, and I did the same
thing on the third one. A_d - uh - made
it every - everybody a 75 on the rest.
Uh - we're presently - uh - going on down
through effective sunset. And - uh -
mirror lanes again.

debriefing the AT - ATM run at
15 :39 ; went completely nominal.
Everything went well.' Got finished
about 12 minutes early or so. I had a
report that active region i0 was surging.
Went on to the limb - over to the limb. Went
off the limb, rolled a parallel to the
limb. Gave 82B three exposures - 02:h0 seconds
SHORT and one 00:40 second LONG. The
40-second LONG was call for, but I wanted
to make sure that I got what the ground
•. w_nted. They ssid 02:40 second exposure.
I Just wanted to verify c make sure that
I got the data. I gave an active, one
LONG. The 56, I did mirror line scans
at grating zero. So, by the ws_v, on
H-_ipha, it looked like I could see
something there for a while. It disappeared.
Now may have been a prominence there forever
end I just didn't know it, but it looked
like something was visible. And I laid
the slit across that something.

I noticed that - uh - there was a lot of
f- sedimentation around the - uh - particularly

around the north and east sides of that

gulf. Most of it was associated with the
rivers that was blowing down into the
gulf. There was also some around Rio Hato.
It's on the west side of the gulf.
Other thau that, there wasn't a whole
lot to notice because - uh - the line
was pretty much covered by clouds.
We took a photograph of the Gulf of

covered that requirement.

ferent because 1 you can't get be-
f

Because the - tub - other gyros - the

between them. But let me read you
the numbers; I don't think it's
going to m_e any difference. Oh -
by the way I also took two places -

252 21 17 59 CDR I took one place on the side toward

the CSM as requested and got 98.2.
I went around to the other side of
the place, _ud I could fit between
them there, and I took - the tem-
perature w_s 95.3 So you can use
those two cases. 2, 93.0; 3, 101.2;
4, 78.2; 5, 76.2; 6, 76.6; 7, which
is X5 97.5; _, which is X6, 95.8; 9,

252 23 04 41 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on - uh -

channel A. I want to talk about
the last ATM pass to the ETM PIs
and planners. Uh - main thing
I wanted to discuss is - that - uh -
four limb coalignment. And here
are the numbers that go in the
appropriate blocks on page 1-1 of
the - uh - whatever checklist this
is. ATM log it looks like. Okay,
on day 252 time 22:30," the upper
limb: plus i011, i011, I011.
Lower limb: minus 895, minus 899;
and the - uh - left limb: minus 930,
minus 930, minus 930, that's the
right limb: plus 972, plus 975-
The mirror position is still on
line 9 and - uh - row thirty-two,

<i
• DumpTape252-07 .....
_-_ Page 2 of 3

..... 0932. The FSS readouts-are plus 595,

plus 653. That's up, in and out,
respectively. And right in and out:
plus hl3, plus h35. Now - uh - it
looks like there's been essentially
no drift at all. Uh - all we have
picked up are staying precisely
where they have been. However I do
want to ta]W a little bit about the
- uh - S055 left limb reading,
which I have got him given as minus
930, the point at which you - uh -
MPCed the - uh - barber pole to
grate change. Now, I've had to fuss
Just a little bit on that.

252 23"06-25 SPT It ... you up at minus 930; and it -"

may be actually ih a.minus 929. "In
which case, if you we're really a .-
minus 929, _ccording to the align-
ment procedures I should have
skipped to row 33. I actually did
_. that,but whenyou get overto
the right limb, it's clearly to far
to the right. And - uh - if you
make the same check at the right
limb which isn't asked for in the
procedures.

252 23 06 _6 SPT If you do m_ke that check anyway,

you step right back to line 32 - uh -
row 32. Now it is closer to being
correct - at both limbs - on row 32
than it is at row 33. So I left
it on row 32, even though you do
have to occasionally fudge a little
bit on the left limb. So it seems
that the 55 is not precisely cen-
tered - %fa - on the limb in any
of these line positions.• Be nice.
if we had a little - uh - 5 micro-
meter to squeeze it over to the left
a lit - uh - right a little bit.
But - uh - since we don't, we have
to put up with this - uh - very
slight - uh - misalignment at the

o
f

",_- Dump Tape 252-07

_ Page 3 of 3

center; So - uh 82B and .........

H- alpha 1 seem to retain exactly
the same aligo_ment they've always
had. 80 - uh - 55 -,has not
changed any, but it has - the
center up there - uh - uh - ...
has changed sites slightly, a
couple of are-seconds from the
- uh - 82B, and H-alpha-1 center.

252 23 07 51 SPT Now as far as how much of the

S055 zero, detector must be
illuminated before it triggers
from barber pole to gray. Uh -
when we came up, I was under the
impression that it was a very
sms]l fraction_ like only 5 or
i0 percent. Uh - from the looks -
of these diameters it is more like
- uh - oh, u_ - 20 or 30 percent
of the zero detector that has to
• be illnm_nated - uh - before it
/_ - uh - flips - uh - from barber
pole to gray. If - uh - you - uh -
have any other comments, or if you
disagree with this - uh - uh -
please give me a call about it.
B_t I believe that - uh - uh - row
32 is - uh - still clearly the best.
Uh - line 9 is - uh - I believe - uh -
still without doubt the best of the
- uh - of both - of the choices
there.

252 23 08 h2 SPT So that's the next A limb coalign-

merit, and since it requires no
readjustment, I think - uh - that
it is a good deal of confidence
that it is essentially - uh - re-
mains well coaligned - uh - for
the entire mission here. End of

253 Ol 58 27 PLT Okay, and - uh - in fact, it

[ was dynamic. I can see it move
by Just watching it. And - uh -
it's the first moving thing I've
really seen on the Sun. So - uh -
decided to do a little - uh -
uh - JOP 8 on it and - uh -
.started on that - uh - with a
building block lO and - uh - uh -
pointed XUV and gave them - uh -
a couple of frames at another -_
| pointing. And - uh - ran some
grating AUTO SCAN and MIRROR
AUTO RASTER, and so forth on -
uh - and then got in conversation
with you folks and you suggested
going to Sun center which we did.
Uh - And after that we ran most
of the shopping list item 19 on the -
uh - on the - uh - prominence.

_ 253 01 59 01 PLT Appeared to me to be - uh -

visibly the - uh - in H0alpha,
30 to hO arc seconds - uh - above
the limb. And - uh - some places k
were higher, depending on - uh -
the rays that were emanating from it.
And appeared to me to be about - uh -
oh, 100 arc seconds - uh - long
tangentially. And that - uh -
seems to be associated with active
region 9. Must of been - uh - uh -
that mystic filament that - uh -
•was with us - uh - giving us some
action. But anyway - _h - we pro-
ceeded on with the shopping list
item number 19 - uh - we had to cut
some of XUV exposures - uh - down.
We thought at once it would be a bad
thing to do anyway because - uh -
what we were lookin at was a rela-
tively bright - uh - so that's what
we did. We got pointings at zero plus 4
plus 8 plus frames WAVELENGTH SHORT and
LONG. And we got - uh - couple GRATING

then 34 then 36. Uh - L,;,'I'/RIGHT
that is. And - uh - S056 at SINGLE
FI_tME LONG, filters 3, h, and 9. Uh -
first one was I0 minutes and - t%h -
second two were 8 minutes each. So
we very much - uh - used up the
shopping list item 19 on the - uh -
promlnance there, and - uh - that
ran us out of time. So - uh - I
think that will be enough time when
next - uh - rev with who we're
talking to.

253 02 00 50 PLT Thank you very much.

253 02 14 h0 CDR Okay - uh - Jer, Bill, Ed, Vance,

Don, Bill, gonna continue now with
uh - the next part of this little
introductionto what we got going
on up here. Maybe to aid you. Once
• again it's not a pro Job, it's Just -
uh - an effortto - uh - showyou _L

what we got. And without any more let

me Just start over here. What I'm
doing is facing the plus-Z, right
now. And - uh - I'm floating over
here to the side. Showing you how _
the - uh - uh , canistersin there.
As you know, we changed the tripod
out, so the tripod - uh - although _
we're not using it any more, this
one right here's the one that didn't
fit. The one that does fit is
sitting over there in the corner
by the BMMD. And it - uh -
isn't for your use in case ya'll
start bring up some repair items to
fix up T027 or 73.

253 02 14 54 CDR Underneath it you can see a - uh -

a - uh - plenum bag. That's where
we keep our only plenum bag. And
the things we throw in there are Just
dry trash, and about the only thing
is dry trash it turns out, are items
Dt_pT_pe253-01 i i
Page 3 of 22

from - uh - packing. Like when

we take out the food lockers, there's
packing around there. And once in
a while when you pull something out
of the dome locker there's some
packing. But mostly everything's
wet trash and goes down the trash
airlock. Uh - but that's been
hanging there now for about a month
and it Just gradually filled up,
as you can see. And I assume when
we get ready to close out, we'll
find a lot of other things to throw
in there and we'll hang it down in the
plenum. There appears to be - uh -
some more room available in the

plenum. And then right up on top there,

are the food lockers you can see -
those little bags there, $o the
i,_nediate left of your screen are
the plenum - extra plenum bags. So
there's plenty of bags, too." Uh -
there's the spider right up there on _-
the wall next to those lights - uh - q
I don't know what we do with that.
I assume we stow it. You'll notice
it's got a lot of our - uh - 4
Our - uh - extension cords on there.
But we've managed to - uh - use the
others. That's the big taker-upper
of extension cords.

253 02 15 58 CDR Okay, let me back up now - uh -

Turns out that the - uh - H^O
• • • . >_
purlflcatlon equlpment over there on
the wall is pretty easy to use. The
way we've been doing it, they'll
give us a pass, tell us to go check
water tank such and such, such and
such, we do that and - uh -
that's pretty straightforward and
quick to do. And then once we've
done it, we send that information
down to the ground and then about
3 days later they come up and say
put an extra amount of iodine in
 Dump Tape 253-01 .__ ..........
Page4 of 22

tank I0, put-50 in tank-5,

put 20 in t_ something or other,
it works real good. So - uh - I don't
think you'll have any problems with
that. I hope that those - uh - iodine -
uh . where we throw the waste, it
doesn't fill up. You're looking
at T020, it doesn't look too much
like it, because I'm looking at it
from the back.

253 02 16 57 CDR Also we don't have it stowed like

the good guys want us to stow it.
The reason is it takes .too long to
unstow and to stow. So we Just
humg it over there and it doesn't
" bother anybody. It's got all that
multiplicity of straps on it that -
uh - by the way, that's the TV
cables that are swinging over there.
It's got all that - uh - and comm
cable - It's got all the - uh -
- strapson it it took to get strapped
in. We just left them there and left --
them in position so when we flew it next
time, if we did, we would - uh -
we'd have them ready

253 02 17 28 CDR We're getting ready to fly suited

runs, so we're gonna take these off
the first of this week. And then
we'll have em stashed in a good
place. Uh - I think you're gonna
enjoy flying it. Uh - you'll
notice - uh - on the sides there
that we've got some - uh - some -
uh - mozite and it's all taped
there. It's a rather crude-looking
operation but it seemed to do the
Job. I'm hoping they'll make
you something a lot better. We'll
have to take that off due to flying
the suits but we'll leave the mozite
underneath the - uh - the - uh - uh -
medical gear down there. I'll show
 Dump Tape 253-01
| Page 5 of 22

you where when we're downstairs.

But anyhow, it's Just stashed
there. Does'hi get in anybody's
way. Looks kind of finny, but
we'll get it all cleaned up for
you - uh- enough so that we think
it's in the best configuration for
when you get here.

253 02 18 15 CDR Okay, now you're lookin at the 509.

Pretty much the same way. We dock
it and tie it down each time. But
as you can tell, we do not tie the
straps up particularly neat. You'll
see the padding on the - uh - the
seat there it's left for you. We'll
Just leave 811 that Just llke that.
We may tidy up the straps a bit,
but that's about it. Pretty easy
to get out, once you've done it
one time - uh - it's re_,11y simple -
uh - to do. It's fun_ - one of
the thingsthatwe foundout up
here was, the first time you did
something it took you over a C
i00 percent longer to do it - to
do it than you'd planned, because
you Just really want to check
everything. Somehow you don't
believe - at least we didn't,
someway - that the training units
work like the flight units. Well,
in most cases they do, but sQmehow
you Just don't trust yourself. You
don't trust yourself to remember where
things are - to remember how to do
things. Once you've done it once,
then you've kind of been convinced
that maybe it is Just like you
trained on and you can do it much
faster.

253 02 19 12 CDR Let me show you some others here.

I'm moving around so that between
times it will be a little screwed up.
Okay, now there's the helmet bag for
the EV-3 man, nothing new there.
 Dump Tape 253-01
Page 6 of 22

....... Right behind there is-_li-the

gear from the parasols, the sails,
mud all that special equipment we
brought up here. It's right in
that bag and in that bag right
there. There is the _C sail.
We're looking above the - uh -
the film vault. Uh - very seldc_
get into that area. Once when we had
to cut some panels they said go
get the - uh - the wire cut'- I
mean the sheetmetal cutters. Told
us where and they were in there.
So that is Just kind of tied up
there out of the way. Doesn't
look particularly nice, but _]_
that sort of equipmen%'s i_ there.
MY guess is that you will not have
to use it at _]I. Now where we're
going to put the ETC rate gyro
equipment, I don't know. I don't
: think it will be in there. That's
-_ too out in the open. That'll pro-
bably put somewhere in the MDA .......
in a - one of the emp_ty film lockers,
but you'll find out where it is.
S063 is open because Owen's over
there getting ready for tomorrow's
pass, so I want to coEment further
about that.

253 02 20 28 CDR Let me show you what we've done

right here. Here's the film vault -
uh - to the left, we've got a card
for the Mark II exerciser. To the
right, the Mark I exercise card - I
know it's not in focus. I've stuck
<. over here the Mark II and the Mark III
exercisers on a coupld of bungees
where we can get at them. Right
down here is the Mark I. I think
you ought to put this in your
simulator. M_ybe you've already
done it. But you ought to get the
Mark I in there, get this other gear
and stash it around like it is.
 Dump Tape 253-01

.......... It'iihelp you learn where is

is and then use it.

253 02 20 58 CDR Right over here swinging on

the - uh - duct is the PCU for EV-I.
O_r here on the other duct is the
PCU for EV-2, right above TI3.
We Just keep em hanging there, and
it's a good place. Of course, the
helmet stowage bags are the same.
The two - uh - foot plates -
let me show you somethingelse
we've been doing. By the way,
let me show you - watch 0. handle
the - uh - the camera up here. He's
getting ready to put in the ETC.
Those guys can see us handle their
gear they'd go crazy because it
looks like you're being careless,
but you' re not. You can control
this. You don't ever let it get
• out - it doesn'tgo anywehreyou
• don't want. Moves fast and When .....
-- _ you want to look at something on
the other side, you Just give it a
spin. And the heavy items stay in
position real well like that. So
you can set it somewhere and kind
of wander off and come back and it's
there.

25B 02 21 49 CDR You take a lightitem like a

checklist and set it there and shove
off and come back it isn't there
and you don't know where it is
because the wind blows it here and
there. And I tell you, we lost
more tro - time in the first 3 or 4 days
from losing things than about
anything else, I believe. You just
set them down for a second - you look
and it's gone. Now it's sDxaost
like an instrument scan when you
float s_nething. You think you
wouldn't float it, but it's fun
to float it. It's kind of one
of the benefits of zero g. So
 D ump Tape 253-01
Pa_ 8 of 22

anytime you get a chance, you

sort of float it near you. But
with a light item you get sort of
like an instrument scan in an
airplane, Ed. But you - coming
hack to it. You work and then
come back every ten seconds you
look at it, if it starts to move
you put it back. It's kind of tun
to - uh - to do it. So you'll
find yourself saying, I shouldn't
do this but, I gonna.

253 02 22 38 CDR And them maybe i0 percent of the

time now it floats off and it takes
you a while to find it, but everybody
helps, and pretty "soon it turns up.
If it doesn't, Just wait awhile.
It will turn up right up there _
on that - uh - screen. That's the
best thing in the place going. Now
what you'll see up there now are
_ a couple items that have fldated
away for 2 or 3 days. Norm_]ly
we keep that spic-and-span. I _-_
usu-11y vacuum it at least every .
other day. By the way, you get out
the vacuum cleaner to vacuum
•everything that needs to be vacuumed
and put it back. It's about a
l0 minute Job. I vacuum that
thing - uh - about every other
day and - uh - uh - we got ready _J_
to do some TV of Jack doing it
yesterda, and it wasn't dirty.
So we're letting things collect
on it for a couple days so when
he vacutuns he's got something.

" 253 22"23 25 CDR And there's a couple of straps

up there and a top to one of the
food cans and some dirt's gathering,
but we're trying to get - tth -
trying something so we can show him
on a _87. Last time I did 487 - we
do them three times - I had to
wait a couple days too. While I'm
 DumpTape 253-01 ...................
Page 9 of 22 ;

up here I might show you the

w_ter tanks. I would sugest that
you get very familiar with that
tank. The hoses - note - note
the hose running up there through
the hatch. Those hoses are coiled
up. One of them runs down and goes
out the airlock to put a vacuum
on the can. The other comes over
• here to this fitting in the floor.
Mike, I would highly reeo_dnd that
you devote three training times to _.
that of a couple hours each of :trying
to tmderst_nd what the hoses do.
Don't - plan the checklist - it
doesn't let you learn it. Use
the checklist when you do _t in
flight, but try to fi_nlre out how
the hoses go and how we get
the water connected to it. You seen
to use that a lot. Use it for
dumping the com_snd module water.
f You se it for con - not the
condensor one - but there's a lot
of hose connections.

253 02 24 28 CDR Another thing might be a good

idea - uh - uh - Bill, is to
get them to give you a picture
diagram to take up here in the
flight data file of all these -
fittings - uh - and all the hoses - .
by length and by fittingson each
end and the names - because they
all have about the same name and it
takes you forever to learn which is
which, Up there on - on straight
motion - the ceiling too are the two
straps - uh - that we used for
firemen poles. Now we connected
those a couple of days, we didn't
like 'era for several reasons. One,.
they didn't provide any advantage over
the metal one, and the disadvantage
they provided you never could torque
off em- you could go up and down
on them but if you wanted to turn
Dump Tape 253-01
Page i0of22

.... around Or Catch y6urself_6a_e

you were headed toward the - the
hatch - uh - lid - uh - you know
the cover, instead of the hole
you couldn't do it. Now we kept
the - uh- metal one in here for
about a week and then we decided
to take it out and we hand't had
it in here since, because it's a
lot more fun to dive up and down
and float - Just more fun to
operate. You don't need it and
it's - it's - we haven't missed
it it's it's been a lot more fun.

253 22 25 29 CDR Ih - let's get back now to where

we were. Okay, you!li see" the
bottles - well, the way we Worked
these - uh - bottles, by the way,
is as soon as we finished - uh -
the runs on 509 or T20, if we
have a bottle change in mid run we
stickit in thereto change. But
the bottle we take out; then we r.

go take up and charge it. Then

when we bring it back and charge
the other one, stash it there,
the next morning we take them both
back and - and - uh - top am off -
uh - we don't even wait for the
ground to tell us to, that way they're
always topped off and we get ahead in
this game. And there's no reason
not to really. It res.]ly works
good. Now I'm doing the bad thing
here - I wasn't paying attention and
let my triangle shoes get off and I'm
floating away. Sometimes you float up
in the workshop and it takes you -
a minute to get back so I'm coming
back now.

253 02 26 21 CDR Okay, by the way there's where

we pu - let me show you where
we put the - the EV plate. And
you don't need to change around,
there's one. We got it - uh -

......... where EV _3 works?- _uother

thing I might mention we found
it extremely difficult to get in
the suit with our feet in there,
because we Just couldn't bend over
to get in the suit - uh - itself.
Well, we were finally able to do it
by working awfully hard. We found
it much simpler to - uh -
• get in the suit with your feet in
those - and then before yotl try to put
the top part in, to ts.ke your
feet ou - and then Justhold on '
with you - let the other guy put
his feet in near the top and he
kinds holds on to you and then you
can bend over much easier _ud get _
in the suit, we found no trouble
at all then.

253 02 27 02 CDR Also getting out is the same way,

. so don't try to stay in there when
you do it. Usually it's easier
_-_ if the other guy justkinds puts
his legs around you and helps you
with the suit. Now we found another
thing, it was hard to zip up the suit,
mainly because when you lean up here
you don't have gravity helping you
lean - and so - uh - you don't lean
as far. And we kept ssying what's
wrong we can't zip these up? And
finallythe last time we eid EVA
we Just grunted and bent, you know,
put a lot more muscle in leaning
over with no trouble. So it's
strictly the fact that we didn't
have the gravity and weren't
pu_ling hard enough. We were
pulling Earth strength and -
and not up here with a lack of
gravity.

25B 02 27 39 CDR Let me show you the other two.

This one's over here by the bottle -
0wen took a picture, he's working
underneath, you see. And this one's
 DumpTape 253-01 ..............
Page 12 of 22

/-
right in front of the hatch,
as you can see we keep it open,
we don't move it around. You
Ought to Just leave those there.
Let em put the hatch in pu those
little blue things there, there's
good as any place else. And you
can float around. By the way,
im your suits, you don't have amy
trouble getting from here to the
hatch or any where else. Everything's
great as far as - uh - getting arouud
in here in zero-g. :"

253 02 28 08 CDR Okay, let's go back over here.

Bight now we're venting down - uh -
" _e were venting down, 0wen Just
stopped. The lid was open, we were
Just venting down the AM3 - let
me talk a few minutes about that thing.
It turns out that you got this thing
in and out a lot. Alond with - uh -
_ _ f-. '. with the - uh - uh the other compon- _
.....
ent there, the uh - uh - I-forget
what you call it - uh - that's -:
articulated mirror system and
that's the - uh - new adapter,
I forget what you call it, let
me see _hat the name of it is.
It's called the - uh - S019 optics,
that's right, the optics part of S019,
and then of course the film canisters
over in the film vault. But - uh -
you get those in and out an awful
lot. If I were you I'd do
extra training on that putting in
and out.

253 02 29 00 CDR It's funny, we trained a lot

across the board trying to even
everything out. But some things
you do every single day, like that.
You ought to do that as good as ATM.
You ought to have five training
sessions on putting this in and
out alone, before you come up here,
because you just do it a lot.
 Dump Tape 253-01
i Page 13 of 22

And then something like - uh -

configuring for EVA - quit doing
so much of it, you Just don't do it
that often. And - uh - you remember
it longer. And you can really add
up the minutes by being able to do
these sorts of things fast.

253 02 29 28 CDR Airlock has been no trouble.

• We've had no sweat in it. We
put our checklist right up there
in the little clip. The ones that
.... we don't - we put right over ir_that
bag. Now let me show you something.
Right here is the - uh - one head set
plugged into channel A. Th.e one I'm
wearing is plugged into the other
side. We keep that plugged in
with two cables and we use it during
509 and T20. We;re doing, EREP,
we move that upstairs. This one
tays here all the time. It is
great to use when you're doing S019; .....
it's also great to use when you're •
down; and we stick it through the _--
hole through the floor and then Jack
uses if for TO02 and that's why
he's been able to do it fast and .
better down there.

253• 02 30 07 CDR Now the tricky part is it's plugged

into A, don't forget to turn the )
switch there - the innercom push to •_
talk, of course it's not there now,
cause mine is over on the other side,
and you always be sure to check it.
By turning another squaw k box on
and letting it talk - sometimes it
kind of squeeks but that lets you
know. Let's see what else we've
got - there's the red uh - uh -
pocket dosimeter we keep there.
We got the bag up there - three
bags with our old - uh - uh - and
use - uh - LS - uh - water cooled
garments. And we'll take and move
 Dtm_p Tape 253-01
I Page lh of 22

those, and stow those away but

that's where we've got them right
now it's the only place we can find
open. You'll see - there's the
broken TV, we use it for moving
fast - there's the broken TV on
the - uh - rack. We Just leave
it there. We'll stow it away
before we go. You get in the
business of stowin and unstowin
if you're not careful.

253 02 BI 02 CDR Okay, now on the top of the food

locker. Pretty interesting place,
that's where a11 the extra chow is.
And - uh - you'll be using it a
lot. For example, right there's
a lot of extra - uh - small cans.
Right next to it are the extra big
cans with the food in there. Behind
it - big sack, by the way that big
sack is the extra food we got
/_ together for our 3 days all stashed ........
-- in there. So for our B-day -
extension - I'ii Just go up and get _
that bag - and take it down and we'll
put on our - uh - our - uh - are - uh -
food locker - in our food locker.
And behind it is a couple more
items of - uh - extra food. Down
there we've tied down some of the
extra clothes we've brought up.
We got a lot of clothesup here,
Get, and you can probably bring
sc_e extra socks and have plenty of
clothes for any extension you can come
up with. Here's where we've put
the uh - Fecal bundle. It's kind of
stashed over there in the corner.

253 02 31 54 CDR We've found out that we tth -

use one can of - uh - uh - food,
one of these big things of food,
you know, in six days and we fill
up one of those Fecal things in
6 days. it turns out that - uh -
 Dump Tape 253-01
Page 15 of 22

Owen was the first guy to notice

that, since he carries out the
Fecals and put them in there.
I always - and Jack us11_lly - Jack
and I put down the food, sometimes
Owen gives us a hand. But anyhow -
he noticed that - and Jack got mad
because he said that - uh - uh -
he figured he was Just a middle m_n
for the whole thing and he was gonna
throw some of the stuff in the -
in the Fecal bags and forget it -
cans and all (chuckle) that was on
the menu and - the pills in - but
he didn't do it. But, maybe, who
know -

253 02 32 36 CDR Okay, uh - let me show :'ou inside

some of these babies so you know
what's going on. Up here at the
top one I'll open it and-back off.
Some will float off and I'll have to
put them back in. Okay, now there's
f those lefoverstuff that SL - uh - 2
had. Now, you're se - Pete's listed
them on the top in some places, side - ••
sc_eplaces. But we'll bring back a
complete inventory of what's in
there. So that give you a feel for
the sort of food he's got in there.

253 02 33 08 CDR Okay, that's gonna float out. This

locker contains SL-2's flight data
file - SOP - uh - the - I took off
the leg guards around the dome lockers
and and - uh - I'll Just kind of show
you that's Just J_mmed up with old
gear. Uh - for example, we got ready
to go EVA and we couldn't find the
adaptor that put the power pack on the
uh - camera. We looked all over the
place, Jack says I'll bet they threw it
away with the - uh - power pack they
use. I says wait a minute I think
I saw a power pack in here. I went
in there and looked and I'll be
darned if - uh - it wasn't there -
 _"p Tape 253-01
Page 16 of 22

so we tend to not throw m_ch

away but stash it somewhere and report
it to the ground and you might be able
to use it.

253 02 33 49 CDR And the big white bag is

all their flight data file. Behind
there's - a bunch of other - uh -
things that they used during the
flight. Now we'll probably have
a locker the same way. And it'll
probably be the locker next to it.
Here's our overage. Uh - the one's
that are gray are labeled with our
overage. The one's that are white
are empty cans waiting to be labeled.
So - uh - we'll - before we lea_e
we'll - uh - label it at] up and put
it there. Now we got lot of overage
out of here, in our lockers, that we
probably aren't gonna eat - but
it's a lot easier to go find that
stuff, put it in your lockers, than
- f- it is to keep coming backall the ....
time trying to find one ite_ of -
peaches or something like that. So
we tend to - uh - to not - uh - not
go hack and forth so m_ch. But when
we're out, we get it and - uh - uh -
put it - put it down there on our
little old - use our bottom shelf.
I'm showing this bag cause it'll
probably be here when you get here.
That's the film that we - uh - dredged
out of the - %kh - plenum, and for -
that Pete had. It's about i0 - uh -
EREP - uh - film loads and the tape -
uh - one tape - and - uh - an RTC
and an SO19. I don't whether they'll
find out it's good or bad, but
if they do, that'll be a good thing.
You'll notice we - let me back up a
little - you'll notice we've got some
on there. Bring allyou can, you've
got a lot in the command module, bring
'em on down 'cause they're the one
 Dump Tape 253-01

............. nicest-thing _-6n6"-Of--th-e-nfc-e-st

things we have here. Can always use
them. Uh - let's look at this -
uh - B_4D. Another thing you want
to train on because otherwise you
waste one whale of a lot of time
here, trying to make it work. I'll
tell you the secrets we foumd out.
Uh - there are several - uh - the
straps, when you pull them down
they got little locks up there.
Let me see if I can - uh - snap _.
this to something to show you. Okay,
I hope that doesn't float away. :"
Okay, now point right at the strap
8_rea.

253 02 36 Ol CDR Now these straps don't work so grand

when you tighten them up. You
tighten them up and try to lift
this up and have it catch-this
friction device, it doesn't work.
So what you do is tighten it up
f good and reach up here behind your .......
shoulder with your finger and push _
that down. Like that. You get
these bolts very tight and if you do
that that's one step in getting a
good weighing. The next step is,
besides rigidizing it -old hat.
It is when you punch button down
here on the seat, be sure that you
punch it like you squeeze off a
trigger. Maybe Marines know that;
I don't know about you, Bill.
Air Force - Ed Gibson he probably
doesn't do anything like that, but
Marines know how to squeeze em off,
but if you - if you wait 'til
everything's quiet and then squeeze
it off easy, believe me, you get
a lot better readings. If you don't,
you Just waste a lot of time up here
trying to three of them close enough
to report, usually know we can hit
it off the three times, but it took
a long time to - to real]y get it down.
Dtmp Tape 253-01
Page 18 of 22

Particular the locker of the

things. That's about it up here -
uh - lookin around now I - I don't
see -uything - uh - ... show you
inside film vault, nothing too much
new there. Let me - uh - l'm
going to get unplug this, and move down
to the lower area and work down
there. So hold on.

253 02 38 26 CDR Okay, here we are downstairS.

Let's see how it works down here.
Let's start over here right to the
left side. You'll see things out
of position here. That's probably
the way we have the most of the time.
Okay, there's the - uh - transur_ic rays -
nobody knows what that means, but -
uh - there they are. Now right there's
our clothes bag. We Just put a TSB there -
not TSB, but a disposal bag there.
We put our dry clothes in there
that we think _ can use for rags.
Turns out rags are the - a real
winner up here, particularly when
it comes time to clean up. Trying to
clean up with these little uh - uh -
l'm talking about cleaning - uh -
the inside of the head or something
like that with - uh - uh - with uh -
with those little papers things is
a waste of time. We use the paper
things for food, and wiping off urine
and things like that - off ourselves.
But we use rags for _Imost everything
else. When that fills up, we Just close
it up and shoot it down the trash
alr-lock and put another one up there.
Anything that's wet, we put in a bag
right here. Now this hag right here
is the urine bag. And we always keep
one there. You can tell because it's
got those things sewed. But essentially
we never put more than two urine bags
in it, and then we try to put a few
more other items in there like wet towels
 Dtm_ Tape 253-01 .................
i Page 19 of 22

and the like- -Hut %hey're-_ways ..............

here. Any wet items goes in there,
from the head, and any dry item Just
goes over there. So this means
with three pieces of urine,
you end up putting two in there
and some things to shoot it down
the trash air-lock in the morning.
You can put one in there and it
• stays tmtll the next morning, at
_hich you'd then put another one in
and then two. Sometimesyou don't i
_ do this because - uh - you have_ ,_ _
three little ones, and you can shoot
them down but mostly you try to
do it with two. We haven't had any - '
trash airlock problems, but I'll tell
you this. This whole scheme that
s_nebody came up with that says
you're going to make it and freeze
it: forget it. There is too much.
It's out of sight, if we ever lost
/f that trash airlock, it would be one
of the worst things that could happen.
The trash even smells in two or three days
up here. You'd have - you'd have no
way to cope with it. It - it's incredible.
And - uh - you got to be careful

253 02 40 h2 CDE When we give an inventory of

these bags at the end, if there's
any doubt, bring extra bags because -
that - uh - is a small price to pay
compared to what could happen. If -
uh anything went on with - uh -
went on and you - uh - you - uh -
had a problem.

CDR Okay, now - uh - let met turn do_-n

this comm. That's been a headache up
here that there's no end, to try to
get these comm boxes right. And
the way we finally ended up doing
it, here - I'll let the thing float,
that's why it's looking funny.
Is we - down here we put the one in the
 D_mpTape253-01 ...........
| Page 20 of 22

• - wardroom on. And that's- it_---And .....

now invariably somebody get on the
bike and you can't hear. He turns
it up, he forgets to turn it off,
and problems occur, but -
but we live through it. So - uh -
it's Just a problem - you got to
keep all these down but one. And
maybe you can keep 'em up in your -
uh - bt=ik a little bit, but other that,
it's bad news. Okay now, let me
show you. There's a fan we keep down
here all the time; it's the on_- _fa_we _ _:
use, and we use it blosing on us when
we're biking. I use it a lot, Jack, some;
Owen, a little bit. We - .you're going to
have trouble keeping your electro lights
up here, and be carefu_ about
sweating too much it. Uh - you
can get in trouble. But I'll
let the doctors tslk about that.
Uh - here's our - same old thing -
here'sa littlenote that tells
us which - uh - cuffs to put on
our legs. There's all sorts of cuffs
up here. We came up here and they said
pick two then we picked two,
and they said those were the wrong two.
Okay, so we said send us what you
want us to do. And the obvious
way is to have everybody using
- the same two - uh " cuffs on the
legs. If you all can pull that off,
it would be perfect. Then you could
put those two in there and leave them in
there. Don't put them back in the drawer.
We have it where Owen and I use the
same right, different left, Jack uses
different right and left, so we
change them. But we still use the same
ones everytime. And then the only
thing we reported is the circumference
of the calve. The rest is a ...

253 02 h3 _2 CDR Let's see what else. We got our

checklist around; same thing. There's
the limits of the ergometer Just faced
Dtm_ Tape 253-01
Page 21 of 22

............... us right th4_e_--Righ_th_r_-is

where we put the mozite. You come
against any mozite, stick it
under there. It always c_mes handy.
Up there's a friendly - uh -
uh - uh head light, and believe me,
you ought to use that more. I didn't
use it for a while, and I started using
it the other day when I went down to
the plenum; it's great. By the way that
plenu_n is a nice change. You can
float all over the place,you
can get those boxes out, you can
carry things. It 's one
of the more pleasant - uh - surprises
compared to doing NLG where's it's
a big pain.

25B 02 44 O1 CDR Here's the pad that we stick - uh -

sorry for the light - here's the pad
that we stick on our heads when we're
biking. We put it there, on our
heads, put it up against that rail
right here, that trough trot and then
bike away. Let me backup, show __
you how our bikes configured. "
I'm sure yours is the same way.
It works great. Had no trouble.
The bike holding on the handles -
I never use the headrest hardly -
Jack used it almost completely,
Owen uh - uses it - uh - pretty much.
Uh - vacuum cleaner - look it's
floating in the corner over there.
We keep it stashed in the corner.
Then you don't have to unhook it,
you Just grab it out of there and
bring it. Shows down there.

CDR Okay, let me see whatever else then

Uh - you'll notice there's one bag
of - uh - during the day - I'm the only
one that's working the trash airlock.
I think it'd be a wise if you pick
somebody. Because there's a feel
to the handles and things. And
you really need - you don't have
 D%m_ Tape 253-01

/._.. t Page 22 of 22

- time to train three guys to

feel this thing and fina]ly decide
that they know how to operate it.
: Uh - well now, let me tell you
one of the tricks of it. Uh - I'ii -
I'Ii show you on this thing in a
minute. I won't dump anything. Yeah
let me dt_np s_nething. I can't dump
s_nething 'cause there's nobody
down there to push down the
idle. Well let me show you what - uh -
let me see if I can find a better
I place because it might be - Just
might be useful. Okay.' Now, let me
talk to you a few minutes about this
• thing, 'causeit's a problem. Yhis -
this particular strut right here is
the thing that's bent, and you can't
tell it 'cause it's just bent very
slightly. What happens is - by the way,
notice - notice the strap head. I'ii i
tell you what happens in the night,
you float by this thin with your toesy
and put it about right here. Now
what you're doing is bending it - --
bending the cabin air, and it'll run
the pressure down and they'll have
to build it up for the night. Now - -

SC A1....

CDR Yeah.

CDR Okay. Thank you, O. That's the end.

We'll have to go some more tomorrow
night.
CDR This is the CDR. All that ... information
goes to - uh - Jerry Carr - Bill Pouge -
Ed Gibson - Vance Brand - Don Lind

253 i0 37 30 CDR Okay, this - uh - this is Captain

Bean up in Skylab. This morning
we're - uh - going to take some EREP
pictures of Africa. We Just
covered the coast. We Just
crossed the coast - Uh - of
Africa. We got clouds that are
following the outline, as you
can see. What we're attempting to do
today is take some pictures of an
area Just south of the Sahara Desert.
This is part of a drought area.
In the Ceheel, which is a six
nation area about 500 miles in
width - north to south width -
running from east to west - from
the Atlantic to the Red Sea. They've
had a 4 or 5 year drought in this area.
What we hope to do in Skylag is
J_ to take some picutres of this area, and
through study of these pictures,
determine additional water sources,
a point where vegetation is not so
affected by the drought. We know
we aren't going to be able to control :
the weather from here, with this
equipment. Though we can't prevent
the lack of rain, perhaps we can
forcast in advance what sorts of
vegetation is - will be affected the
earliest. And perhaps from Skylab
be able to see it affected even
before someone one the ground. Now
we're coming up on the drought area.
You might be able to see on your
ground - that - that the - down
below - on your TV, that the ground
below us is not nice and green, like
it should be, but brown, redish,
sandy colored.

242 lO 39 51 CDR The drought has been in effect for - or

has been - uh - with these people
 Dump Tape 253-03
Page 2 of 6

over here - these _ million

people - for 4 or 5 years. It's
affected them greatly. Relief
supplies are sentthere frequently,
but it's hare to supply six -
food for 6 million people - for
a very long time.

253 l0 40 38 CDR We Just passed over the Ivory Coast.

CDR We're now oever the Niger region

approaching the Sahara Desert.

253 lO 42 21 CDR Pull back of this fetter. I'll

pull back on this fetter. Get a
better picture ....

253 i0 43 32 CDR Let me know when you're ready, Jack.

._ CDR You might kind of hide in the

window now.

CDR You ready._

PLT Yeah.

CDR Let me put my seat down here.

CDR Okay, we've Just been looking

- here's our orbital gap, here's
Africa. Are you looking at Africa?
I'll start again. When you're
ready.

CDR okay, here's the continent of

Africa. This ha_ been our orbital
path. The Ceheel is an area that's
about 500 mile_ in width, extending
south from the Sahara, here's hte
Sahara, from the Atlantic to the
Red Sea. This area right here is
under an extreme drought condition
now, coused by lack of rain for
the past 4 or 5 years. Or a
minimum of rain for the last 4 or
S_

Dump Tape 253-03 ..............

Page 3 of 6

...... 5 years .-_This is _a 6-nati0n area

and in that area millions - several
millions of people live. Now
from Skylab we're not going to
make it reain, but we think from
Skylab, we can look down with
suitable sensors - photograph, we
actuaS1y did a few moments ago,
look down with these sensors
and find areas that are not so
affected by the drought. That
might not be obvious to a man on
the ground. We also think we'll_ ,_
be able to determine areas which
have high possibility of water
tables not too distance below them.
In other words find sP0ts that
are - are - good for possible
digging of wells. For possible
f plantingof - uh - croRswhere
other plots - parts - uh - spots
near by aren't so possible. We
think this will be poSsibl'e on a
world-widebasis - basis, with
equipment such as we're using in
Skylab and with equipmentsuch as •
we're using in our un_anued satellite
ERTS.

CDR Okay, I think we okay, you go

ahead and get the recording. We
Just put some information on - uh -

253 ll 08 29 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on

channel A debriefing the first ATM
run of the day, which began at 10:22.
We got the Co-op Nu_ updates and
then we did the - u_ - synoptic
" JOP 6. We did - uh - JOP 2-Delta,
on 3 active regions you specify.
Uh - active region 9 is - uh -
almost out of sight. Uh - you ask for
- uh - some work in S056, active
region 19 and - uh - instead of the
active 1 long we gave you single

frames from short numbers I;

3, and 5- We got all the rest of
the - uh - data. We have tow
prominences - uh - roughly - uh -
070 and 120. And 120 is - uh -
is - uh - very well defined. And
- uh - and is very interestion
feature. Neither one are - uh -
on the solar activity pad. Uh - the -
uh - activity this morning is - uh -
somewhat quiter than it was
last night. The PMEC is running
around the - uh - three to four
hyndred most of the time and - uh -
so I things have quited dow%a a little
bit. The - uh - corona doesn't
appear to have any .... in it. And -
uh - the last - uh - couple of m_nutes
- uh - before actual sunset we - uh -
ran the gradings on the mirror on the
z SD-5 and - uh - mirrorline scan - uh -

253 ll l0 13 "PLT And that closes debrief on the rev, and

we'll pick you up shortly. Thank you.

253 13 39 Oh CDR This is the CDR with information for •

biomed and the micro biologist. We
ran the micro biology - one of three
this mroning. And - uh - micro
biology - uh - one, 13_S l, let
me tell you some of the places
that we did and we'll try to get
them end to end - the exact places.
Some of these sites are pretty self-
explanatory, like site one, site
two, site three. Now let me
tell you where we did that. We
did that from the handles, or in
the position that they - they are
in - lets don't talk about handles,
let we talk about the safety pin.
The safety pin to the handle is
retrieved by a - uh - a long - uh -
a - uh - about a 6 inch long metal
- uh - wire. We made the sample right
Y
f- Dump Tape 253-03 .................

........ below that metal wire area.

0WS wall fell behind .... on the
exterior wall. At the place
where the probe is mounted and we
did the sample sites and that's - uh -
the - uh - skelton probe and we marke/
it on the place where the skeleton
probe - u_h - hole is on the wall
there. On site 5, we did it between
the - uh - uh - waste management
compartment blower number 2. Uh -
and - uh - window heater number 2 switches.
But we put it the second from the
top row of switches.

253 13 40 43 CDR Bearing over cable running to light

switch panel 30, we did that about one
inch from the bottom _f that
bearing, because above that we
have - uh - the message from - for
s- next week's plans. You know, what
we're going to 7se doing the following
weel.

CDR Fine filter,we did it half way

between the cone and the rim. .'

CDR Site 9, we did it Just above the

spot in the middle that's cut
out. In other words,'there's a
big blank, there's a big - uh - pressure
plate, the pression plage has sort of
cut out in the middle and - uh - we id
it Just above that point.

CDR Exterior waste processor, we did it

right under the suit decal. That's
site lO. Site ll hand rail in
front of locker 820. We did it on
_ the part that'sfacingaway from
the blowers about 2 inches from the
end closest to - uh - locker 820.
Site 12, we did it about half way
down, but to the right of the - uh -

m

- Center, because we-keep- our food ..............

menus there and I didn't want it
in behind the food menus.

253 13 42 lO CDR The food heater try that we used was

Jack Lousma's. It's not exactly
a 3 inch square there becuase he
has a piece of tape that he sticks
his pills to. So we did it
in the area sort of - Just a little bit
below and left of the - uh -
timer module. And - about a 2 inch
area's in that point.

253 13 h2 37 CDR That's site 13. Sitelh, is used to

be fixed to the left of the gauge
... That's looking at --at your body
as the handle. And those are - uh -
the essential things. Now that goes
to biomed and to - uh - uh - to
anybody interested in I_SS report.

253 16 04 07 SPT Okay, SPT with information for

ATM PIs and planners about the
last ATM run which finished about
15:52. The - uh - mlnirip scan -
uh - went quite well. Uh - I did
find a spot that - uh - showed up
on XUV on as a region of
considerable - uh - limb brightness•
I believe that's active region 9
on the backside the - uh - uh -

-
limb at this point that's responsible
really. I believer it's been
sighted over the llmb and rolled
to the point of about - tub -
maximumbrightness in 82B - uh -
above the - uh - limb of the Sum.
• And the the three chromosheric
exposures in 56 went off fine.
The - uh - initial pointing,
f incidentally, I - I startedfrom
about minus 4 arc seconds - in
other words 4 arc seconds below the
limb and - uh - that was - that
place - uh - S055, mirror position
9/32, therfore 4 arc seconds inside
the limb. It - uh - Jittered
around a little bit. It may have
been up to 5 arc secounds inside
the limb.

253 15 57 20 SPT I ventured - uh - one step out to

33. It was still- uh - uh -
2
showedgray and took two more
steps to row 35 which took me - uh -
two steps off the limb, and did
the first grating 3 scan at that
point. Went to - uh - row 37,
did another pair, then came back
to 33, which took me just on to
the limb, Just barely on to the
llmb, and did two GRATING SCANS.
Then went out to limb 30 - to - uh -
column 3h and filled in that gap
• /_- Dump Tape 253-05
Page 2 of 3

.... with two more - uh - uh - RATING

AUTO SCAN. So really you got a
little bit more data than you'd
asked for there - uh - one
extra position - uh - intermediate
between 33 and 35. Each of these - uh -
positions - uh - were all nominal.
Uh - they might-have been - uh -
one arc second different from the
desired positon off the limb because
the point eludes " is jumping
back and forth - uh - between two
numbers by about - uh - 1 arc L_ _
second, so it's very close. ""

253 15 58 2_ SPT And I noticed to work that - uh -

extra GRATING SCAN in, I did miss
getting this JOP 7 on _he end of
the orbit. Thought I 'd have time
to complete it, but I d__du't
quite get it set up; so - uh -
no J0P 7 - uh - there is no
•.. until the end of that pass. A1
picked up that - uh - silicon
3 - uh - at GRATING620 - uh -
on the end of anotherorbit. And .'
- uh - wait 'til that scan went
fine. Thereis time to get
it donebut - uh - it does
require - uh - staying on the
Job - uh. You can't Just do -
too m_ny other things at the same
time, and of course that's the
second.

space fans. Uh - this is for the
earth observations falks, probably
EREP people. I made a - uh - few more
observations that - uh - are of a
general nature that - uh - that appear
frequently in the - uh - the NL-4
request, an observation request you
send up. Number 1 is about lava
flows. You've asked us many times -
uh - to - uh - look at the lava -
or the volcanic activity in - uh -
the central areas, and - uh - I
noticed that there- uh - most of the -
uh - terrain is covered with trees.
All we can tell, it's very - uh - ireegular
and rough. Uh - _id it's very
difficult to tell a w_lole lot about
the volcanic activities except places
- like Guatemala and so forth where
it's very evident. You can see -
uh - uh - right down funnels of some
of them. But - uh - othe@ than that -
uh - there's severla places where -
uh - there are not any - apparently
not any trees, but - uh - it - it looks .'.
like uh - a big blaekedned are, which
could very well be - uh - uh - a lava
flow.

253 21 53 h4 PLT And - uh - so you can spot that kind of

thing from here. And - uh - the thing
that reminded me of it was - uh -
in just going over Hawaii - uh -
we - uh - I took a good look at
the big island, and - uh - we're
having - uh - tramp around on it a
couple - uh - different times
uh - looking at the gelogy, I remeber
that - uh - many of those black flows -

/
 ,t

Dump Tape 253-08

Page 2 of6

............... uh - flow down the - uh - sideof--

the - uh - mountain, and right down to
the sea. And - uh - and - uh - they don't
have any vegetation around there;
Just pure black lava flows, and -
uh - some fairly recent. And they
are very recognizable from our vantage
pointup here in Skylab. You ca
see all those very easily. You see
all those black lava flows , - uh -
because they stand out - uh - pretty
high contrast with the - uh - areas
around it - that's has shrubs on it. _
And also, the contrast with toehr
lighter areas, which are - uh - which
are ash flows, and areas where ashe
has fallen.

253 21 54 42 PLT And also the - uh - the cuts

that water has made in those - u_h -
_ uh - some of those features as it - uh -
flows on the - flows down to the
sea off the sides of the hill. And
you can see erodes away the - uh - - -
the - uh - soil is very evident.

253 21 5h 59 PLT Uh - other subject - uh - is - uh - the

Big Horn Mountains. Now, we've
had many requests to look for faults, and -
uh - the faults havw got to be
pretty big to see it from here.
Sometimes you can see - uh - linear features
that - uh - could be faults, but on
the other hand, they could be
something else too. Uh - I guess about
the - uh - best kind of fault that
we can spot from here, is where -
uh - you're have some offset mountains
peaks, when you have some ridges
that obviously were continugous
at one time are offset now. And you
can see some of that here and there.

253 21 55 37 PLT Now, the Big Horn Mountains - uh - you're

Just looking for - uh - crustal cracking
here; particularly the inner base between
 ,r

Dump Tape 253-08

• Page 3of 6 !

the plain &nd--the -_uh - and the

mountain ranges. And - uh - there
are places down there, I guess you
couldn't see if they were crystal
cracks, but they - uh - look from
here to be - uh - in lots of cases -
uh - just erosional features; where
streams have gouged their wat through
and - uh - makesthe crestlook a
little bit cracked, but , uh - who
knows? Maybe they cracked with the
stream Just filling up or maybe there'-
uh - there's no crack at all_ maybe
it's Just the stream. So - uh - crustal
cracking here in that sense, is hard
to detect.

253 21 56 17 PLT Although I did notice on some ofthe

interface boundaries between - uh -
__ Big Horn Mountaineand the - uh -
Plains, that - uh - they're were some
very - uh - much linear features
that kind of ran north and south
which - uh - were not exactly straight k
lines. They curved a little bit here,
but they all were fairly paralle.
There might have been about, of, ten
or twelve of them in a row north and
south.

253 21 56 42 PLT And - uh - they really look like - uh -

they look like - uh - inclines or -
uh - maybe that's not the right word,
but anyways inclines, or anticlines that
were once hills but it had the - uh -
the tops eroded away, such that the
- uh - layers proturude out,
forming outdrop - uh above the -
uh - the rest of the terrain. Now
that's the - uh - way that these
linear features at the interfaet between
the Big Horns, and the - uh - plains
look. NOw this is where I was looking,
was around Great Falls, Montana. There
Were some - uh - a little north of that,
too.
f-
 .r

DumpTape253-08 ....
Page 4 of 6
f

L
253 21 57 23 PLT So - uh - maybe this was crystal
cracking, I don't know. Maybe crust -
the crust cracked and upturned, and -
uh - and formed that. But on the
other hand, from this vantage
point it's difficult to tell if that
happened or if that's uh - uh - inclined
or anticlined features. The only
thing that makes you think that it's
probably not this incline or anticline
is that there seems to be only - uh -
one side on each - on each of these -
uh - upturned ridges or whatever they
are, they're only seems to be one
side. There's not a - uh -
corresponding - tub - other side of the
hill, so to speak. So perhaps that's -
uh - some evidence of crustal cracking,
although - uh - you'll have to
evaluate that, but those are the
features that we could see. And -
uh - and - uh - whether on not
that's the feature that is called crustal
cracking or not, is not apparent to
me at the moment.

253 21 58 13 PLT One other thing that - uh - is around

of some interest is - uh - the - uh -
the pattern of the terrain - uh - in -
in Canada, Just eas of Michigan.
Between the - uh - little peninsula
that sicks down between - uh -
Windsor and Toronto, I guess you might
say. And - uh - let me see them on
a map; it's called something to do
with England.

253 21 58 38 PLT Well, it's the peninsula that sticks

into Lake Huron, and Lake Erie
and Lake Ontario, and - uh - at one
end is - uh - Toronto and at the
other end is Windsor where it's
trying to get Michigan. Now that -
uh - area there - uh - I would say
that H_milton, Ontario is right
J

/_ Dump Tape 253-08

Page5of 6

in the middle of that area_-_d-_ is ....

Ontario, the province of Ontario,
there's - uh - a very definite
waffle patern. And - uh - it locks
to me like the the lines go - uh -
southeast northwest and then they cross
at the right angle and go northeast/
southwest. In other words, right angles
northeast/southwest and north/southeast.

253 21 59 28 PLT And - uh - what it looks like is tha t-

uh - uh - somebody had just taken a bi
plow and every 20 or 40 miles, the
way we represent - maybe it's more
like lO to 20 miles - has - uh -
dug a furrow and made several parallel
• ones ar right angles in thesg directions
I'vw indicated• And I covered •
that whole - uh - that whole peninsula,
not just the small area; I covered the
whole peninsula. It looks like in
those furrows - uh - vegetation is
. growing and green. And then - uh -
that's - uh - uh - in the groove, you
might say. Then up on the land, more
brown where it looks like argriculture
is underway and so forth. But - uh -
a very definite, very regular pattern,
that - uh - looks like it's too big
a thing to be - to be made by man, but
looks like too regular a thing to have
been made by nature. So it's - uh -
kind of a real curiosity, and - uh -
I don't know is we've got a picture
of it yet or not, but we're trying
to get in a good position to get
one.

253 22 00 31 PLT And - uh - uh - it could be that -

uh - some day way back in history
they - uh - divided the land up that
way and - uh - and asked everybody
to divide off their land up with
trees or something'- uh but I don't
know.

/
 _r

DumpTape253-08 --,
,/_ Page 6 of 6 ..... _

253 22 00 45 PLT But that's what it looks like because

it's too doggone regular and although
the waffles are kind of square waffles,
and - uh - it's - uh - one of the most
unusual - uh - and curious flatland
features that I've seen from space.
But - uh - it give you ... observations
on - uh - oh, one other observation.
Up at the - uh - Canada area. Uh - say -
uh - between Winnipeg and - uh -
and - uh - east of there, probably over
Lake Superior - uh - in the - uh -
up on - uh- the southeast of James Bay,
in that area, where there're so many lakes.

253 22 Ol 26 PLT Uh - it also appears that - uh - uh -

you can see these - uh - glacier-related
features from this alt'.t_de because
there are many - mnay of these lakes
appear to be - uh - have been dug
out in parallel f ashio,'and some of the
islands you see apparently - uh -
have - uh - streaks in them that mske it
look llke - uh - they've been scraped.
And - uh - so that's another feature

that's - uh - kind of interesting to /.

view from this altitude and one whic, from
this altitude, is very evident, and -
uh - perhaps - ILh - from lower altitudes
is not quite so clear.. Uh - so - uh -
the purpose of this discussion was Just -
uh - give you a little more feeling for
what kind of features you can recognize -
uh - on a macroscopic scale and what
kind you can recognize on a microscopic
one. To give you a feel for - uh -
for what you can see frc_ space. And -
uh - -

253 22.02 19 PLT And - uh - this is the end of the

• message to the - uh - earth observatin
folks. For EREP people whoever - uh -
is interested in this kind of thing.

went through the M092 with no problem.
And - uh - we - uh- calibrated the -

"-254 O1 4402 CDR Okay, let's start in this corner agaln.

Now I did - I showed this last night,
but then I got to where the tape was
gone. So l'm just picking up here.
If - uh -l've shown it to you before,
just ignore it, bear with me, and maybe
we'll get to somethingnew here in a
few minutes.

254 01 44 17 CDR You can see the - uh - transnianic

cosmic ray - uh - items. Tehy're
"_ hanging up there, and I assume you're -
going to be taking 'em back. Uh - let me
show you something about these comm
boxes. That little light's on, of course,
showing it's RECORD. We've.had - uh
a lot of trouble with the comm boxes up
here; it'sbeen one of the things
that disturbes us most. Uh - you'll
_-- notice that this ones just - the theory
is to put 'em all at 9 o'clock , and
they won't squawck. Good idea. You'll
noticethat'si0 o'clock.

254 Ol 44 46 CDR At i0 o'clock you just bearly can hear

if you're next to the box. So it's a
great theory on the ground, and it
looks great in the lab, but up here it isn't
worth a darn. Cause if you want to
hear, you got to put up around ll o'clock
or so; and that means if anybody else
nearby is at ll o'clock, you're going
to squeak. So what we've generally done
is - uh - tried to keep most of them in
. the workshop down except the one in the
wardroom. When you're riding the bike,
you got to turn one up to hear. You
miss - you want to hear all the messages.
. Becuase that's all you - how you know
what's going on up here. And - uh -
many times - uh - somebody will Roger
for you - thinking you're hearing and
you didn't, and - uh - uh - it's gets
a little difficult.

-25h 01 h5 28 CDR So-if you c--an-dise_pline-_ _-_{ to ................

• turn on the comm box when you're riding
the bike, and if somebody's going to
anser in the wardroom, turn it down,
or when you leave turn it down, it'll
be a lotbetter.

254 O1 h5 37 CDR Also up by the SAL, you tend to turn

that one on to. If you could Just
discipline to yourself to turn it off.
We haven't been able to, but maybe you
"_ csn. You'renow lookingat the clothes
bag. We put thatbag over there. I
Put - uh - old dry clothes in there;
use them for rags and they work out real
well. Wehn it fills up - u_ - we shoot
it down the trash air_oek. Sometime _ when
we need a couple of extra items in a
trashbag we'll put we'll go over and get
o_ some clothesout and put them in. That
way we don't waste so many bags.
Okay, let's look around and see what
_ we see.

25h 01 h6 09 CDR Uh - camera's just mounted up there.

It's setting there. You're now noticing
there. It's setting there. Yo're not
noticing the - uh - only fan we use •
in the workshop. This we've got setting
around, we use to blow it on us on the
bike. The idea is to makes your hear
rate lower, which is nice at nights, but
mostly it keeps you from sweating so
much, so it saves the salt. And - uh -
you'll find up here that that's one
of the things you'd sort of like to save.
You don't get that much in the way of
minerals,and you don't want to
. sweat 'em off your bod. So we've put
that there and then start out with it off,
and then in about 5 minutes we turn it
on low and then a little later on high
and you can direct it; it works out
pretty good. You can see our - uh - tpe
recorders. Now these tape recorders are
_\ _Dump Tape 254-01
Page__ of20 i i

............... okay except for one thing, and here's

a - exam a good example. It's a nice
taps recordsr. If you look close you'll
see that it's on, but the tape is stopped.
Now, that's what ruins these wheels.
•' - It seems to ruin them, not on a
permanent basis, but it makes you have
to chean them.

254 Ol 47 i0 CDR So you want to make sure that you bring

up with you not only swabs to clean EREP,
_ but you need abouttwiceas many to _
clean these little tape recorders cause
you end up having to clgan each of them
about once every three days• And the
little wheel gets black_ It's too bad
_hey can't come up with a better little
black whsel that doesn't wear off like
that, but I think it's our own fault
because we're not careful enough with
those recorders. Now, first thing we
did was divide them all up so everybody
had One. But we found out that was bad
because then you had to carry around. So
now we got one by the ATM that stays up
there, these two here, Jack sometimes
takes one of these into his quarters,
and the rest of the time they jsut hang
right here.

25_ 01 _7 48 CDR Same way with an extension plugged

to them, we just leave one up there.
When you go up there, you take your
music up. Here is the friendly little
LBNP. You'll notice that - uh - we
got one - uh - cuff hanging there, and
we then got the other one just kind of
_ hanging over there• We don't use it
very often; we try to always use the
. same one, which is number ii. We
have a little message there from Houston,
that tells us which - uh - leg bands to use.
You should get that, and if all three
of you could use the same two, that
would be the way to go. Because that's
_L how you could change them out; you could
• just leave them hangingthere.

page 5 of 20 .......... k__

-254 61 _8 21 CDR T As it is, ours have to be different. Owen

and I have the same right leg, which
makes it nice - uh - right leg band, and
they different left leg bands for the
left. Cards, don't use them too much.
• There's the - uh case with all the data.

254 01 48 36 CDR We just put our cards up. So any -

all the runs we make normally, 92, 93,
92/171, are all right out and mounted.
Subject 171, subject 92; you can get at
them and get going. Uh - there's the
hose hanging on - a lot of time's we'll
disconnect that hose and leave both
ends out. When we do, we'll put it over
there in the corner and wrap it .around
• that standpipeonce. It lets both ends
dry and - uh - thatwasn't done today
when Owen finished his run.

254 01 49 04 CDR Uh - we mounted our own records there

so that we can see how we've been doing
' on the bike on the Earth and see
how we're doing here. I used the pad
that we put on our heads sometimes and
bike right up here. Let me Poke this
a little for you. We'll - uh -
put it on our heads and put our head
against this - uh - tray and then bike.
Sometimes we just hold on to the side.
It's kind of dealers choice and - uh -
just depends on how you like to ride.
Sometimes your arms get tired and you'll
do it one way, and sometimes you'll
feel good and you want to get some
exercise, you'll do it another. Okay,
let's see what else. You're now looking at
the vacuum cleaner over there in the
corner, we just leave it hanging there.

254 01 49 57 CDR It's quite qucik to get it Out and use

it, get a bag and to put in it. We
just put a new bag in everytime we use it.
It gives us good suction; as good as it
can get. You do a lot of - uh - TO03
you need to be up on doing that.

r-254 6i 50 13 CDR It doesn't take long to learn, but

you do a lot of them so it's worth
training on it. Certrifuge is working
good. You'll see the - uh - uh - BOP
there. Happens to be upside down, we've
got it on one snap and it's upside
down. We don't move them around; we
keep on this wall, one on the other
wall over there. And then one in the MDA,
and one in the command module. Nobody
moves them. I timed it the other
day from the wardroom table to the
cc_nnand module: 15 seconds. So - uh -
why wotuld you want to move this thing
anywhere but right there? If you want
it, great; if you don't, you c_u head
for the commandmodule ardget there
. in 15 seconds,even in the dark. You
don't have nay trouble. Here's _- uh -
< Dr. Owen Garriott,you may recognizehim.
He's - uh - doing his favorite pastime,
which is eating.

254 01 51 05 CDR You'll notice that he's eathing some

- uh - overage food. I know that'll stir
you up a little bit, but he's got to
live. He's been losing weight_ all
of us here tried to keep our weight the
same, and it's just taking more food
than we thought to do it. Nobody's
gaining any up here. Owen's been
losing, but he's been eating a lot more
lately, I think he's arrested. He's
leveling off, as ... Uh - Owen's one
that - uh - sort of doesn't put his food
in the tray, and heat it beforehand;
he sort of eats it right at the mealtime.

25_ 01 51 36 CDR Jack mud I tend to get our trays - uh -

uh - before the meal and - uh - get it
all fixed up and put it in there, and
the tops on and the timer set. So it
just depends. These little _ter guns
are nice; one of the things we've
noticed up here_ is you got to force
yourself to drink water.

254 O1 51 51 CDR Everytime I come by this room, I get .......

two or three drinks of water, whether
_ Dump Tape 25_-01
Page 7 of 20

I'm thirsty or not, just have it and

it's - it's been one of the things that's
made it better. Lot better in here.
Let me fly it around into here. Okay,
you can see that we got multiple notes
on here. Uh - Owen's Just got his little
yellow book right here. Let me give
you some closeups. He'sgot his little
yellow book right here that he carries
around. And normally he has it in his
pocket but - uh he's apparently going to
• take some items out of there. There's
all the med pads so you can see how
your weight was two weeks ago or anything
like that.

• 25h Ol 52 23 CDR There's his Flight "Plan _or tomorrow.

_. Comes up in the evening and - uh - you stash it
around because you don't have room
" in your littleyellowbook yet. And
- uh - right next to it, some other
things he's got There the _pider
vials, and - uh - there's a pen for
him to use. Notice the bun goes. So
tohose bungees, if we had enough, ought
to be on every locker. Now - the thing
- uh - they aren't the greatest thing
in the world, but - notice here. In
order to get them to hook, you got to
have some of the hook kind. And
although they're kind of dangerous, I
believe that's the kind you ought to
bring up. You ought to take the command
module one, and I'll float them and get
these little hook kind and bring them
up.

25h 01 53 56 CDR And then just - uh - stash 'em around.

We got plenty up here now, but it wouldn't
hurt to have more. This little - uh - table
for our night checklist has worked well, O -
uh - uh - Ed. Uh - we just put it there,
and - uh - I get up in the morning and
write down the water readings.

254 01 53 17 CDR We used to take it up by the BMMD.

f It's crazy. You only got four numbers
.... there. And you canremember.-uh .....
</'_ _ Dump Tape 254-01
Page 8 of 20

remember them quite easly. Four "-

four place numbers three times. Usually
- hopefully they're close together, so you
remember. If they're not close together,
] you usually run one or two 'til you get
three close together and you remember them.
So we Just leave it here and go up there
and do it, and then come back and write
it down. And everybody writes hsi own
urine. Uh , everybody keeps up with his
own food.

25h 01 53 42 CDR When the nightly report time comes, I

just go over and read what's there.
And if it isn't there, well - uh - it's
• up to the guy to bring it in, and I've
• noticedthat everybody- uh - is real
• good about getting- uh the word
down and putting it on there. I'd
recommend using that place It doesn't
interfere, and it's good local place.
You'll notice right here that Jack's
brought down the - uh - let me close
the window. Jack's brought down the - uh -
film log. That's turned out to be
one of the toughest things to do. Mainly
because you're always using film 'til the
last minute. And then after you use it,
it just seems difficult to get that
thing accurate. Maybe it's 'cause
people are checking on you all the time,
and they find out how confusedyou are.
But anyhow there it is and - uh - as
soon as Jack gets it done - he tries
_ to get it done around- earth time 7
or 8 o'clock, and that way when we have
a I0 o'clock report it's there in
advance because you get tied up and
you're liable to miss it.

254 01 54 3_ CDR Okay. There's the - uh - so called

- uh - stabilized hinocs. I found
them to be poor in that you have to
adjust the eyepieces everytime, and they
have a different adjustment everytime.

f-\ 25h Ol 5h 48 CDR Sometings wrong with the eyepieces_

I don't know what. Maybe we can get •

it fixed. But - uh - if you get them

fixed them the batteries last a long time.
We're still on our same first set of
batteries. And they do a good Job, but
having to focus them everytime - by that
time the target is gone almost. Okay,
you'll see our Hasselhlad - I mean our
Nikon, and the spot meter right next
to it. Now, right over here is the book -
you can see it kind of ruffled - that we
put the Nikon stuff.

25_ 01 55 54 CDR Okay, on this side we have the

Hasselblad goodies. There's the
Hasselblad, and here's this little book.
: And I think we've done real well - uh -
-: keepingup with those. It - it -
. you just have to keep in the habit.
Yeah. You need a lot more film;
you need to get more out-the-wlndow film.
-_ Okay - uh - here's some informationon
these EREP hand,held targets. You're
going to have to do a lot of'work on
those if you want to get some good
information out of them. Let me zoom
in on them a little bit for you. EREP
hand-held target information there.
Like I say, we've - we haven't get this
as neat as we normally keep our offices,
but - tub - we're not in the business oT
keeping it clean. We're - it's clean,
but the business that - we're in the
business of having things out where we
can get at them fast.

25h 01 56 02 CDR Down in there is the - one of the

- uh - maps. Let me show you somethin
" here while we wait. We use this map
a lot. This is the one with the multiple
- show them the pictures there, big 0.
Multiple pics- we use that a lot.

254 01 56 14 CDR If you had one even more detailed,

it would be nice. But it serves the
purpose. Okay, now let me show you also
on this one. Let's see if I can get close
f enoughto this to •show you. Maybe
 Dump Tape 25h-01 ..............
Page i0 of 20

r ......

I can zoom in, that'll give it a

little class. Who said this doesn't
have class? Just a second, it'll have
to come back. I don't know why it
doesn't want to show - let's see if
it shows here. Too close, huh? Okay,
there it is. Uh - you'll notice we've
got little squares and circles - hold still
there .... - -

PLT (Singing) If I were his again - -

CDR - - little squares and circles on it,

and that's the EREP target.

254 01 56 57 CDR So we put our sliders on, and then you.

can find - I'm out of focus here. And
then you can find uh - when you/re
going over and where the targets are.
_ Now that's pretty rudimentary. It's
written on there. Un - You can come
up with a better one. Some eort of -
what I think you need is some sort of - uh -
maybe plastic stickers to stick over
there; somethingthat you can remove.
So when the targets go away, you can
remove it. We didn't have the luxury of
that; we just wrote it on there with tentell.
But it's helped us find the targets faster.
You can take targets that weren't called
up. l'm going back now to the old ...
Uh - _at else up here? Let me show you
something. On the ceiling - we use the
ceiling a lot. Right there's the vitamin
pills hanging in that - uh - little strap.

254 01 58 26 CDR Over there's the can crusher - let me

mention something we do with the can
crusher. Every can that we get that doesn't
h_ve food in it, for example a dry instant - -
- add fuit and see tth - uh - canned.

SPT We got ... and I hope you like it.

254 01 57 52 CDR For instance the - uh - uh - can that the

_ strawberriescome in. It never gets dirty,
 Dump Tape 254-01
P ag ell of 20 7-
..............
................--'

so we throw the strawberry plastic

away - down in the normal place - and
then - uh - we crush the can in there
and put in there. Same thing with
the bread can, for example. We try
to crush anything and minimize the
space. It's worked out real good. Let
me show you inside the chiller - here's something
that they need to fix that'll
give you a good idea. Now there's
be inside our chiller. And - -

spt We got the IMSS out.

254 O1 58 20 CDR We got IMS out. As you can see, we

just got the cans in there..So that's
one good deal. Now you'll notice we
_ got some of those little - uh - inserts
of the cans mounted on the wall. Well,
they work great 'cause you can put you're
drinks in there. •However, they only work
great for a little while because the
glue - uh - comes off and then there's
the snap comes off. So if you could
cc_e up with some kind tape that would
work in a - a chilled ice - box which I'm
sure there's a lot of it, bring up a
roll. You could tape these things
in here and it wouldn't be near as
messy as you see this now. In other
words you could tape - those - uh - IMSS
cans to the back neatly. You could
tape two or three of those - uh -
racks to the side, and then you could
put yours drinks in there as we've got a
couple - uh - further back in there.
Everybody could have his rack for food -
you'll see strawberries in that can
there I'm - l'm pointing right at the
center of the screen. Tjat should
be tacked to the side, but it just
won't stay.

254 01 59 12 CDR We started taking the tapes off a can and

putting them there so we could use
 oDumpTape 254-01
_P, Page
12of2O

them and we dound we never used them. We

haven't taken the tape down but we will.
My recommendation is just throw the
tape on the can away - you got plenty of
tape. Here's where Jack puts some of
his extra cans. One of them's got
butter cookies, one of them's got peanuts,
and one of them's got drinks. So he can
Just reach around and get them and - now
he - he needs that, because he fills up
his shelf. The rest of us don't,
and so we tend to just take the bottom
shelf, and at the back we put overage.
Right there's for me a couple of overage
peaches and some pears. And what we don't
eat we'll take back up and put back up.
.: They've asked us to eat a couple of fruits a
day to keep our potassium up, so - so
we're working on that.

25_ 02 59 57 CDR Set of binoculars. Notice the clip

on there - you need more - let me show
you some clips. Here's some clops you
could stand to send up about 5 of,
Jer. It's these kinds that we used to have
in the LM, you know. They're handy,
but we just don't have enough of them,
you ought to bring about 5 of those.
Looking ahead to see what's going on
in there. By the way, that's where
we keep our urine disposal hag. We
keep one there, we usually put - uh -
two of them in there and then we put a few
extra other things that we got, and
shoot it down the trash. Sometimes
when you get three and vent em - it'll
Jam the lock. It won't jam it, but
it'll be tight. We don't like that,
so we go ahead and just put two in
there. It's best to waste hags - don't
fill em up. Don't - don't try to prove
how much you can get

f ...................................
 Dump Tape 25h-01 ---...............
_/-_ Page 13 of 20

in it because once you've proved

the limit, you're sunk. Okay, uh -
I keep my towels here. O. keeps his
here. Jack keeps his over there,
makes it okay.

25h 02 Ol 00 CDR Down there we usually have a

rag from the rag bag. And that's
the thing we use to wipe out
the inside of the urinal and the isnide
of the pressure plate and everything in
thenorning. Then we throw that -.
one away into the urine bag - urine
disposal bag you just saw - get out another
one. So every day we_ve got
• a rag nearby and that's
: the one we use sort of for that
"" day. So far thatmagnetic
thing's the berries - boy, if we
didn't have that little magnetic
catch, it'd be a mess. Uh - one
_=" of the thingsthat we foundout
to be nice here - is where we snap the
• - uh - uh - the little list
of whatto do with - with the
urine.

25h 02 01 33 CDR Uh - my suggestion to you is have

one but don't have em fill in the
part that sayswhetherit's
half or full. And they ought
to also fill in on there - have
in there blanks so you can put
down which place you put the
blood, whose blood goes where.
Because - uh - they have - they
change the rules every once in
a while. You see h_¢ the waste
processes report little stickers -
and on the stickers - little
stickers and the - uh - uh -
-uh - the - we've written on them
- the time that - that we
put the last one in _nd that
way you just leave them in there
until you need one, you

look 8round to see what was in

there and if it doesn't belong,
take it out, and fold it up,
put it down here in the next to the
bottom shelf and them
press on. We keep a pen up here
where we can uh - get to it
to write on. Notice the
bungee, we need more of them in
here. Here's one. Let me show
youhow I've done the inside of
my - uh - inside of my - uh -
hygiene dit loker.
q

254 02 02 39 CDR Now this is a bad show cause I

just moved something in here the other
• dya, let me move it out. Cuas'e it
it atypical. Okay, let's see
if we can see in there. May not
be able t o make it. I'ii back
up a little further, because a -
this sure has made it easier in
. operatingin that little- uh -
compartment. Okay, here we go -
what l've done is put Velcro
on everything. And then every - nothing
floats around in there. At
first everything was floating. But
by having Velero on there it
makes it a_ul nice.

254 02 03 16 CDR Now let's see what's going on in

somebodyelse's. It's ahcays
a eye-opener. Here's hygiene
kit i - let'ssee what's
going on in that locker. Nothing too
had. A couple of items floating
- uh - you'll notice that that's _en's
lockerand he's got his ket in
there - and right next to it -
is the - uh - OBS electrode kit.
That's the kit everybody thinks is

in his sleep compartment which

doesn't make sense, because you
always use it in here when you
go EVA, so we just 0put it in
hdfd. My suggestion to you,
Fer, is to take the DOP kit I'm
gonna leave up here - the names
removed from Velcro - i'll Just
take my name off it and stick
your name on it - and you'll have
a nice clean kit - and you cna
fill it up with whatever you
want. Keep - Keep whatever I
got an - uh - don't wait around -
do what ever you lie.'

L 25h 02 04 08 CDR Now here's hwere I put my .

• fin_l night's checklist - that's
one of the best things. Because
- uh - when I got to bed I see
that thing and then I say okay,
are the lights off, and equipment
off, equipment usally being
. like - uh - the metabol - not
the metabolic analyzer but the - uh -
the bike and all that that you
use sometimes late. And the
SAL confgured - in other words,
is it in press, and closed and
locked. The next onw is - uh -
how about the - uh - heaters are
off, the dumps complete - that's the
dump heaters and oth - other heaters
off. I check that - and make
sure they are, and that usually
works out pretty good. Then I say - uh -
how about the trash air-lock handle -
and I'ii showyou aboutthat
in a minute, pressed, yeah it is -
film camera's stowed, yes.

254 02 Oh 53 CDE Okay, there's the old bunk I sleep

out. Got an extra pair of
pants back there. Nothing to
show there. It's nice and quite
in there, and dark if you close
the door. Here'sJack - He's
dryin his - uh - mouthpiece,
he's washin out in water here
and drying em and he's got a
tape uh - uh - cleanin swab there
that you're familiar with. Lie to
mention,so you can clean your
tapes. There's _4en - nothing new
in there that I can think of besides
that checklist.

_ 25_ 02 05 31 CDR . Let me show you this trash airUlock

a minute, cause - uh - I think it
might be worth some time - just a
• second_anyhow. Have to mount it _nd
look at it for a second. Just
mount it right here - done. Okay, Jet,
. let's see. Then, zoom back to 25 -
one of my favorite spots.. No_ not as
a good agnle,Jack. Move
it. As I mentioned the other - I
don't know if you saw this demonstration
the other day. If you did, dontt
watch it again but - uh - if didn't
essentially what - what l'm goona
- show you how this thingworks. And
it's - it's kind of sneaky.
You think - uh - it's got a feel to
it. You got to learn feel of the
handle, because if you
don't you don't know wether you've
got something Jammed in it or
working just right because it doesn't
work very smoothly.

254 02 06 32 CDR See if I can zoom in on that a little bit.

Okay, I think we just did. Yes/l,
/- Dump Tape 25h-01
Page 17 of 20

........ the focus-is.--Th-at-may-l_e_good ................

enough. I think you can get
the point either way. Okay, so
here we are over the trash air-lock.
Now what we normally do is when we
• have trash, we either leave it
hanging in place right there - or we'll
uh - kinda nut it down in here. And
- uh - we've relegated one guy to be the
- trash air-lock man and it's me. And
the reason being, like I say, because
• there'sa lot of feel to
this thing.

25h 02 07 09 CDR Okay, you'll notice that I have a long

strap here, around that handle.
" The reasonI do is becauseif"
this handlegetsup likethis
in the middle of the night
you're dumping the cabin atmosphere.
We did that one night. Somebody got
up in the night, as he came by
.. his toe hit this, scooted from here up
to here. You see how muoh it
dumped now just by lifting. So you
should have - have them make you
a nice spring - spring one. Now
thatts down, but let's say
we're getting ready to do the job.

• 254 02 07 41 CDR Okay, first of all - I'm not

gonna open and close the lid - this
is the thing that bent. And you
see that it maybe - maybe you can
see it's slightlybent. And the
reason it did bend - is becuase
- as - uh - let - let me go ahead and
show you. Oh, you open this up, put
this in. Now, when you get ready to
close this - you can see that this
little lid doesn't close so
great. Now what I was doing -
Vn_ch I - was reasonable, I thought -
was I would get up here like this -
and I would push down and when it
was at the bottom, pull up. And when
 Di_pTape254-01 ..........

................ I-_Li-d_-{his would snan over. -............

" Okay?.

254 02 08 17 CDR it turns out that doesn't

_ work too grand, sometines,it
doesn't get all the way on there. I
don't think - by the way, I don't
think that was the thing that bent it,
because that's putting the member
in tension. But essentially - see -
just like that. Seemed okay -
• seemed- that was a good one,
that's one's okay. So let me
go show you. But sometimes it
wouldn't come all the w_v there -
•. . so then wheneveryou took and moved
this down, I believe that you press -
I was pressing up on this -
and bending it. But I think you
ought to try to get a new one of
those and put this in. I think that
• ought to be fixed. Okay, but anyhow -
you put this handle here, and you
know that - it's vented, okay. And
whenever you get finsihed venting,
you want to open. Now there's parts
of this thing where it jams, like
right there. And you say to
yourself - uh - is this
think - uh - jammin, or is that
" the way it feels?

254 02 09 l0 CDR AFter you fool with it for awhile,

you know when yo've got something in
there and when - when it's Jammed.
And if it's not, you can open it, you see.
Okay. That's nice and neat. Now
when you're finished, you want ot
bring it back here. Also it has kind
of a old hard over-center place
there. You'll have to get used to
it so you won't jam sonething in
there. I've got where I can feel it, I
can tell when that eylid's going
closed and then I'ii give it Just
J

what it takes. But unless
you fool with it all the time, you're
gonna - stand around thinking
you're jamming it and ever_jthin_ else.
• You might he - you might give it
a pull when it is jammed. But - uh -
that's why I think maybe you ought to
pick one guy but anyhow -

254 02 09 58 CDH Uh - I think we showed yo almost all that

there is. Uh - let me show you
something that's happening to
the shoes. This is the J. Lousma
shoes that are sittinghere on
the floor; he leaves them there
. sometimes at night - see if I 'canget
it. Okay. Notice these shoes -
let's see if we can get a good shot of
them. You'll notice the little
white dot there on the heels, they're
sort of wearing out. About 1 inch
• up on theeel, where that little
plastic is. And in addition to
that, let me show you the sides of the
shoes. They're weraring out -
they're wearing out right here. See
that hole. We're just hoping it
makes it. And we've recommended
that you bring 2 pairs of shoes. We"
think ours'll last. We got a couple
of weeks 5 days, something like that.

253 02 i0 52 CDH Here's the bad - uh - uh - t%pe

it's got a little red - uh -
piece of tape on it, you can see. It's
got the proced_uces that we used to
take it apart_ in case you've got
any questions. It tells you where
the nuts and screws are. By the way,
let me show you where all those
scres are. I don't think you'll have

do the AUTO. I did - uh - just 1 SINGLE
SHORT EXPOSURE. And - uh - then I went
up to that new active region 25 "

82B was a SINGLE frame 240_ and 55 1 did
the gas plus the - uh - partial - uh -

_-_ [ . Switzerland,Zurich, just south of
Munich, Vienna and then w@'ll be - uh -
turning our instruments off as we - uh -
continue on. The - the data we're
taking today is divided up into central
frequencies and - uh - analyzed. We
have the capability with our telescope
to zoom in and zoom out. We can track -
_ uh - object- uh - lessthan a quarter .
of a mile square. We can - uh -
track a farmer's fields; we can track
a city block; we can track lakes. We
have very good - uh - resolution with
this telescope. At the moment, it's -

254 14 06 21 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A _ith

/_ information for the EREP officers on
the ETC cal operation. Uh - I only gave
you six frames instead of nine. And
they came at the following times. There's
a little deviation from the pad numbers,
which I will explain in Just a minute.
Uh - the uh - 100, I persume it's
milliseconds, or 1/100, I'm not sure
which; 1/100 perhaps on the shutter
speed. Exposure started at 57:30 as -
uh - requested. I did not get the next two
on time. My second one at 1/lO0 came
at 57 plus 55 seconds. Uh - then I noted
that I had to go to STANDBY before I could
change my shutter speed and I didn't
have time to - uh - get rest it - 140
in time to - uh - catch the next sequence
So my - uh - shutter speed• of 1 - 140
or 140 milliseconds, whichever it is,
 Dump Tape 25_--o5 f .......
page 2 of 7 ...............

was taken at 58 plus 15, one exposure.

Then switched to SHUTTER SPEED of 200.
I had to go to STANDBY first, which is
not on the pad_.then back ou_. And I
forgot to come back out of STKNDBY and
I noticed it on the frames remaining
counter. And so I finally got those
three frames off at, the first at lh:00,
on the hour - and 14:00 plus 5 seconds,
lh:00 plus i0 seconds.

254 14 07 55 SPT So the last three came off on the hour

plus 5 seconds then plus i0 seconds at a
shutter speed of 200. So, they were a
little late from the pad value by a
matter of a few seconds. And - uh -
I think that the times t}_at I gave you
are pretty accurate. Un - of course _e
are also in at hold mode, so ft really
shouldn't make amy difference as near
as I can tell on the exact timing. Uh -
there are nine - six frames instead of
-- the 9 that were on the pad. And - uh -
basically, the delay is because of - uh -
- uh - the - uh - the fact that I hadn't
looked through this pad sufficiently_ care-
fully to see how close these exposures
were.

25h 14 08 3h _PT I was expectin_ a more normal ETC pad

and I didn't recover quickly enough.
Also the stand by and return to operate is
not on the pads and I fortunately caught
that before switching shutter speed.
Oh - I don't think it's necessary to include
that, but it wouldn't have hurt to
reminded -remind the operator in the
remarks that he needs to do so he'll not
make any mistakes. So - uh - that's the
reason that the exposures are not quite
on the pad time.

took that data in about 15:05 Zulu. Uh -
to begin with, we did get on the panel
just about the time scheduled on the
pad, after that EBEP op. Uh - I did the
12 Delta. And then in the observing
period, first of all, 1%_nt to active region -
uh - let's see, which one was it. li_

_pproximately item number 8, using S056,
55 and one exposure on 82 Bravo. And, then
I did go to Sun-center for - uh - item 17.
I did one trip around the fast scan for
S052. We saw nothing unusual in the
corona visulaly. I then went on over to
active region 25 and - uh - did - uh -
item 8 over there with the grating auto
scan; couple of mirror line scans and - uh -
S056 information. And then at the edn
of the orbit, put on some building block 7
at - uh - uh - gratind 620, which happened
as it did yesterday_ for JOP 7 info. And

filter like we did before, we'll have to
put some more in. But we got both
filters in the - uh - optical path to the
Moon. That's better. Well I was trying
a 1.O filter and that's just not enough.
We'll try the 1.6 by itself. Makes the
Moon too bright with r¢3pect to the stars.
Now the 1.6 by itself would be tolerable.
Let's see if I like it better with them
both in. If the Moon's too bright, it
washes out the star. I'll try it this
- time with the 1.6 filterin.only. 1.0
is not enough. Okay, so we got the 1.6 filter
in. We got Fomalhaut near the limb and

we'd like toIdo while - if you haven't
alreadydone it - is to go ahead and
secure that LSU deservicing until after
the EREP until we get ourselves pulled
together aud can give you straight
answer on that time.

_i CDR It's secured, We've emptied both

to the procedures. And we're down

I'm still wondering about it. Okay,
back to six. Now we gave A-6. So :
let's go to B. B-2 is 56 percent and
that's go. B-3 is 77 percent and
that's go. B-4 is 71 percent and that's
go. B-5 is 74 percent and that's go.
B-6 is 51 percent and go. B-7 is
31 percent and go. B-8 is 1 percent
and go. B-9 is 58 percent and go. So
those are all good. C-2 is 44 percent_
go. C-3 is 89 percent and that's okay
because we'v_ got out - uh - little
box diagnostic down-link unit box in.....
Okay. C-4 is 71 percent. That's
go. C-5 is 83 percent. That'sgood. _
C-6, 46 percent;that'sgo. C-7 is
54 percent ant that's go. 0keydoke,
those are all good. C-2 is 86 percent
and that's go because of the do_-link
box. C-3 85 percent, that's go anyway.
D-5, 14 percent; that's go. D-6,
57 percent and that's go. So every-
thing is go because we got the down-link
box and that allows some of them to
deviate. D-7, as you noticed, is less
