INTRODUCTION

This document is the transcription of the Skylab i/B flight crew


com_mications (i) as recorded on the co,_,_nd module (CM) data storage
equipment (DSE) and (2) as recorded on the alrlock module (AM) recorder.
Data from these recorders are telemetered (dumped) to Spaceflight
and Data Network (STDN) sites for retransmission to the Johnson Space
Center. Transcription of these tapes was managed by William A. Kelley,
Test Division, Program Operations Office, to whom inquiries regarding
this document should be referred.

The transcript is divided into three colu_s -- time, speaker, and


text. The Greenwich mean time (GMT) col_mmn consists of four multidigit
numbers representing days, hours, minutes, and seconds (e.g., 209 22 Bh 14)
for the Julian dates shown as the first three numbers of the time column.
The speaker column indicates the source of a transmission; the test
colllmn contains the verbatim transcript of the communications.

Speakers in the transcript are identified as follows:

Spacecraft:

CDR Commander Alan L. Bean

PLT Pilot JackR. Lousma

SPT Scientistpilot Owen (0.) K. Garriott

CREW Unidentifiable crewmember

MS Multiple speakers

Mission Control Centers:

AA Unidentified station

CC Capsule commllnicator (CAP COMM)

MCC Unidentified speaker, other than CC, in the Mission


Operations Control Room or a Staff Support Room.

In the text, a series of three dots (...) is used to designate those


portions of the commmmications that could not be transcribed because of
garbling. One dash (-) is used to indicate a speaker's pause or a
self-lnterruption. Two dashes (- -) are used to indicate an interruption
by another speaker or a point at which a recording was abruptly terminated.
Words given unusual emphasis by the speaker are underlined.

check this pass. Null bias check, be advised,
it started at minus 100 and ended up at minus 99.6
one time andminus 99.7 the other time.

CC CDR, Houston. You'll have to say again those


two numbers. The first one - you started at
minus 100 and then ended up with what? The
second one.

CDR 99.6 and 99.7.

209 12 03 50 CC Roger. 99.6 and 99.7; th_nk you very much.


f-" And, CDR, any time during this pass, if you get
any information on the ... P52s, I'll be glad to
copy of them - copy them. I'll - I have a couple
of notes here for you - to let you know about.
Your CMC vector during the boost developed
about a 30-foot-per-second out of plane, and
we intend on updating the CMC vector at Madrid.
And also we - our initial look at the X and Y
PIPAs makes us think they probably will need a
compensation, and we're going to take another
look at them over the States. Over.

CDR Roger. Understand.

209 12 04 40 PLT And, Dick, when we put the radiators on the


line, we got a couple of intermittent
GLYCOL FLOW LOW lights, an_ the accumulator's
reading B5 percent now. We're going to put
a little more in her when we get around to it.
oi.

noisy. We're at work on the P52. We'll
give you a call in a few moments.

CC I'm standing by. And be advised the - the


weather conditions today for ARIA are pretty
poor, so if we do have some comm trouble
through ARIA, it's not your onboard systems.
And I'm standing by. We're AOS for the next
minutes.

CDR We ought to make it by then.

SPT There it is.

CDR Okay. The NOUN 05 is all zeros.

CC Roger.

PLT Right.

CDR ... on?

209 13 37 12 PLT I don't know. It's intermittent.

CDR ... go ahead....

PLT ... percent ...

209 13 37 35 CC ...
6 -4

209 13 37 39 CDR Houston, Skylab. We hear you intermittently.


Not too clearly, though.

209 13 37 _7 CC Skylab, Houston. We get a lot of static. I


can barely hear you. We are interested in
knowing how the NC1 burn went, though. Go ahead.

209 13 37 55 CDR Okay, the burn came off correctly, on time. We


didn't copy the DELTA-V C. We were in attitude
and the NOUN 85's were minus 001, plus 005,
plus 008. The star check that you gave us,
using star 25, was correct. However, using
the horizon check, which is part of the backup,
the horizon was not anywhere near the 12-degree
window mark at burn time. It was up around 35.
Get all of that?

209 13 38 34 CC ... First question, we wanted to verify that you


got the PIPA biases in prior to the NC1 burn.

209 13 38 h2 SPT We got them in.

209 13 38 50 CDR We got them in, Dick. Did you hear?

209 13 38 58 CC CDR, Houston. Sorry, I didn't catch that last.


Say again, please.

CDR Roger. We got the PIPA biases in prior to burn.

CC Roger, CDR. Understand you did get them in. Be


advised that I do have a star acq pad for you, but
I'ii give it to you later when we have better
comm. And if you'll get the P52 option 3 infor-
mation, l'm standing by for it. We've still got
about 6 minutes left here at ARIA.

CDR What's P52, option 37

209 13 39 30 SPT I don't know .... Maybe he never got that last
time.

CDR Roger. We're wondering which P52 option 3 you're


talking about, the very first one?

209 13 39 42 CC No, the one - the one that supposed to be going


on now.
57

CDR (Laughter) It isn't going on right now. We're


going to get after it, though.

209 13 39 52 CC CDR, negative. I got that other option 3 and


we're a little bit ahead of you. We Just
thought prior to this ARIA pass you might
possibly get the one that's coming up right now,
but if not, no problem at this stage.

SPT ... wait.

209 13 40 04 CDR Okay, we weren't planning to do that for


l0 more minutes, but we'll get on it right now.
We've had a little problem with the MANUAL
drive on the OPTICS, in that in DIRECT, when we
drive to an angle, it - it doesn't want to stop
there. It Just keeps going, and we're having a
little trouble setting the proper angles so that
we can then look out at the star. It drifts
around rather rapidly. And we haven't had any
trouble with AUTO OPTICS, however, and it points
very well and we don't have any trouble marking
/-
on the star. It's merely when we try to go to
a defined SHAFT and TRUNNION; then it's almost
impossible to do, but we're going to try to
develop a better technique down there.

209 13 40 45 CC Roger, CDR. I copied that and no particular


hurry on the P52. We'll take it when you've got
it. We're ... for 4 more minutes.

209 13 40 59 CDR ... and give them the action; they'll want it.

209 13 41 07 SPT NOUN 37, ... Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Beano.
Cut that stuff out.

209 13 41 14 CDR Here it comes, Oven.

SPT Okay.

209 13 41 17 CDR One of your favorite stars, I'm going to give you
right now, is known as 33. Wait a minute. They
didn't tell me a star.

209 13 41 24 SPT I'm going to go to ZER0 OPTICS.

CDR Well, I wonder if this is good attitude.


58 --

SPT l'm not going to do that. How ... about that.


They didn't - I'm going to get - I don't llke
that. I'm going to get AUTO OPTICS. We're going
to go to AUTO OPTICS.

209 1B 41 43 CDR I think that's not a bad idea.

209 13 41 50 SPT In fact, I'm going to give them stars. They know
I'm a star lover. 37, that's not a bad one.
You ready? Here goes.

209 13 42 05 CDR We're starting on the P52 right now. O. - Dick,


and the first star is 37.

SPT There's ... star.

209 13 42 24 CC CDR, Houston. CDR, Houston. You're Just about


unreadable. Sorry, I understand you're reading
me some P52 information, hut I -

209 13 42 35 CDR Did you like that mark?

SPT Yes,thatwas a good one....

CDR ... Star ... 45, 0.

SPT Right.

CDR Everything looks good.

209 13 42 52 CDR Also, Houston, we did our GDC align and got good
numbers, hut we'll give you that information
at the next station, because apparently you're
having difficulty hearing us.

209 13 43 19 SPT That's a good mark.

CDR 7, all zips, Owen.

SPT Yes, ... blew it.

209 13 43 26 CDR Was that star 45 again?

SPT Yes .... Getting pretty good platform.

209 13 43 41 CDR Hey, we're going to - we're going to go PRO now,


O. 23256. Now, I'm going to PRO here and I'm
going to pick star 33, 0.
SPT All right.

CDR VERB 21; I have no idea we can make it.

209 13 44 00 CC And we're about l minute from LOS at ARIA. We'll


see you at Goldstone at 03:01 and I'll have a
star acq pad for you up there. Also, lost
3 minutes of the pass, so I didn't get any
information.

209 13 44 18 CDR Okay. I'll read it down once anyhow; maybe


you'll make it. Stars 37 and 45, NOUN 05 was all
balls l; NOUN 93, plus 009, minus 017, plus 024;
parking time, 02, 32, 56, 00.

SPT Would you get out the star chart and find which
star we want for a check star, please.

PLT Anybody like a stick of gum?

209 13 44 h7 SPT Star 33 is all right - -

CDR Thank you.

CDR - - even though I was in TRUNNION, 70 degrees.

SPT Oh, I see. I forgot 49 up here, yes.

PLT Well, 0., - -

SPT Yes, I'll have to give you one.

PLT - - stick of gum?

SPT No, thank you.

PLT Okay. Something between those two.

209 13 45 01 SPT How about - want to try 25?

CDR If you'll look it up, I will.

SPT The star chart's not going to tell me those.

209 13 h5 i0 CDR ... it'll tell you what's between, along our
orbital path.

209 13 45 14 PLT Can't ask for more than that. What the heck
has that ... do with it? Ever find out?

to keep my stomach full.
62

CDR Found that's nicer for your stomach, huh? Make


sure I've got every single thing I want out of
there. I've got everything I want. I'm going to
float down here and look at this thing with the

look at it with him.

PLT Look through there with A1.

SPT Yes. Okay.

209 13 50 33 CDR Watch everything up at the front. See if I'm

CDR Let's watch and see if it drifts. Doesn't drift


too bad, does it?

209 13 51 13 SPT No. Not now.

CDR Put it in 30. Now that was SHAFT. Put the


TRUNNION in - in 30.

SPT ... that good. I can't complain ....

209 13 51 34 CDR Maybe that's zero. Maybe it lost a zero into


it and didn't know where it was. I bet that's
what happened. I bet it drifted out and lost
the zero and then it could never solve it's
problem. I need to put this down one .... wait
a minute. Okay.
63

SPT ... Wa_t.

209 13 51 57 CDE That looks okay to me at the moment.

SPT I agree; can't complain.

SPT Yes, I'm doing the TRUNNION. Okay .... It's


going to be ... That's settling down.

209 13 52 24 CDR I think it's going ... - -

SPT I believe it's fixed.

CDR ... SHAFT.

CDR I believe it has, too. We're going to have


to take care of this thing so we'll always return -
what? The SHAFT to the TRUNNION. I never
remember.

209 13 52 32 SPT I have to return them both because I can't


remember either.

209 13 52 35 CDR Let me look. How's the focus? If you haven't


been able - -

SPT Yes, that ... - -

209 13 52 39 CDR That thing's awful loose.

SPT Yes, there's no way to get it fixed though. This

At least I hope.

CDR Well - -

SPT Okay, then I'll get it there.

CDR Yes. On these screws, see?

209 13 52 51 SPT ... screws are loose are they?

SPT How do you drive it ... - -

209 13 52 57 CDR They always back off in zero g, they got to be


tight. Okay, now they're tight. Now let me look.
Turn up the ... within a minute• Now that went

That looks out of focus to me. Let's see what I
can do with it.

209 1B 53 48 CDR There's ... screws ... something here ....

SPT Turn it up.

CDR I'll have to ... Okay? ... while ... looked


around ...

209 13 54 08 SPT All right.

CDR ... me a little ... It may be totally .•. This


thing is not - I've got a nice clear image where
it is, I don't see it.

SPT Well - -

209 13 54 25 CDR It's not out of focus. It's the fact that it's
Just so bright.

SPT - - Well, all stars are very dim in this tele-


scope.

209 13 54 42 CDR Honest to gosh, I can't tell the difference. I've


•.. a_l the way in and out.

209 13 54 47 SPT That's it. The focus and it's very, very poorly
adjusting in the sextant, but that's the way
it was before, in the trainer. The telescope has
a lot of range and it will go in and out of focus
real easily.

CDR Well, frankly, I think you've got haloing, but


the focus is good• I went to both limits and
it looked okay to me.
,_ 65

SPT Yes. That's - that's ... sextant.

209 13 55 l0 CDR Okay, let me get out of your way. New let me
Just - let me Just take it here. While we've

SPT ... here.

f_ 209 13 55 51 CDR That way I can get under there a little bit
better.

SPT Pull which back? This it?

CDR Yes.

SPT Okay....

209 13 55 57 CDR Okay .... and I'll stay under here for a while.
See, what we can do under here is, see if
there's any possibility of finding anything.

SPT What - what are you looking for? What - -

209 13 56 ll CDR Oh, I Just want to get some of these things


loosened up. Jack's going to have to start a
fuel cell purge here at ..., so he's got to watch
that for a while. Why don't you get him a timer
out of B-3 or wherever thing is.

PLT It's right behind the ... - -

209 13 56 26 CDR Why don't you read that checklist to us, Jack,
and let us work on it.
66

PLT All right. Okay. H2 PURGE LINE HEATER, ON.


I got that on in time of the - I think he calls

SPT Okay, I can get ... - -

PLT I tell you. I can get it after a while soon as


I got the time. Okay, and I'll do it with my

of there anyway, so why don't I Just do that
later.

SPT Okay by me.

209 13 57 18 CDR Well, why don't we try to get a little ahead of


this thing.

209 13 57 21 PLT Well, we're way ahead. We've got a fuel cell
purge. We've got a P52 coming up at h2. Should
be doing that now, while you're doing that, or
you did that already, didn't you?

CDR What? Yes.

209 13 57 32 PLT Okay, at 02:46, we've got a P20 option 5.

CDR We're there, already.

PLT Okay. Then it's time for me to do my fuel cell


purge. And we don't do nothing until 3 hours
15 minutes from now.

209 13 57 47 CDR Okay, then what do we do?


it- 67

209 13 57 50 PLT Well, we talk to the ground, get the preliminary

hour from now.

209 13 58 04 CDR Good. Looks like we' re out of work.

PLT I could get this dang suit off.

209 13 58 08 CDR That's what I figured. If you're feeling - Don't


you take - We don't want you to feel bad. That's
the main thing right now. We've got plenty of
days to do all this baloney. We don't want anybody
to feel bad.

20R 13 58 18 PLT Well, let me get up and move a little bit. I'm
feeling better.

a long time .... super ...

SPT ...?

CDR Okay. You know, Itll bet those little

PLT Okay.

CDR In this bag.

209 14 01 30 PLT That'll give me something to hold this thing


with.

CDR Okay. Film, we don't need that. Here's the


70-millimeter mag. Why do they snap those buggers
in here? Why do they put it in a little bag?
Why don't they do what I say? Why can't
everybody be like me, as the song goes (chuckle).
... world's ...

209 14 01 58 PLT Okay, that's 2 minutes. Fuel cell purge.

PLT 02 is good.

CDR Okay. There you are, Jack.

PLT Okay, thank you.

CDR ...? Okay. Let's see now, see what's next.


Okay, I'm going to tie this thing back. But I
don't really thinkwe need it.

209 14 02 31 PLT This goldarn thing ain't marked with


75-millimeter marks.

209 14 02 34 CDR Did I give you the wrong one?

PLT No. How about that? Oh, there it is. I found


it. I'm wrong. Lost my head there.

209 14 02 49 CDR Bad habit. Very bad habit to get into. Reco_end
that to anybody. Where did that urine disposal
bag come from? ... supposed to come out -
take these urine disposal bags out from under

Owen's things ... _-_
71

209 lh 03 12 PLT Owen's ... can't find anything anyway.

CDR 2125 .... as long as you could get him at


the ATM panel, he's happy ...

PLT I noticed that. You Just got to get him there.

209 lh 03 22 CDR All we got to do is not miss a burn. We'll get


there. Report time is bumping that burn time.
Those dodos have put this about that - -

PLT Yes.

CDR - - attitude check.

PLT Yes.

209 14 03 34 CDR That stuff will _ke you nervous.

SPT Yes, because we were having a little concern


about not getting that star check in at the same
time. Yes, you're Just - -

_- CDR Well,we ...- -

PLT - - taking what they give you in that case.

209 14 03 45 CDR Well, between that - What if we had to do the


backup? Maybe they want us to err in that
direction.

209 14 03 51 PLT Deorbit, huh?

209 14 03 53 CDR Going to deorbit it. But is you - Maybe they -


maybe that's the best way to err, in that it
doesn't put any vertical components if they
don't want any. Maybe if they - that's - that's
not good, but it's better than nothing. Okay,
I'm going to wrap this up.

SPT How long before we have comm, because I want


to talk to him about ...

PLT Okay, let's go on with the purge. Now I'm going


to do fuel cell 3. We have - -

Get over here ....

209 14 06 19 PLT Hey, look at that horizon. Isn't that beautiful?

CDR It's pretty.


73

209 14 06 28 PLT Right close to the edge of the - the limb of the
Earth, we've got an orange, and then it fades into
a kind of light blue, but it goes back to the
darker blue ring - kind of a blue pencil line like.
Then it goes back to light blue and fades into
black again.

SPT Don't see very ... there.

CDR Any blue?

SPT No.

PLT Oh, boy. Isn't that something, 0.?

purge now. We've got H on - both of them ....

CDR Look, Jack, I've got both of these things released.


And I think the way to hold them down is to use
one of those white straps with a buckle. Do you
know what I'm talking about?

PLT Both of what released?

CDR Both of the bags ...

PLT Okay.

209 14 07 51 CDR ... you can hold it down with one of those

209 14 ii 01 CDR Now what bag was that in, Owen - or - or Jack?
I don't see it.

PLT Should be a brown bag in there with camera ... - -

209 lh ll 05 CDR Got here, got here, old shoe. It was right in
front of my eyeball. Now this is the way things
ought to be packed in zero g instead of those
darn straps and things - stow them in there and
forget them. I'll take this out of the bag for

209 14 12 30 CC Skylab, Houston. Goldstone for 9 minutes.

SPT Flight check.

209 14 12 36 CDR Okay, we got some news for you. We've worked on
that optics. And we kind of got the feeling that
maybe we hadn't zeroed it well enough and -
although we'd done it a couple of times - because
we went back, zeroed it again, and drove it
manually both in RESOLVE and DIRECT, and it worked
perfectly. So scratch that up as a mystery at
f themoment.

209 14 13 03 CC Roger. The one question we had on that AI, was,


did you see this phenomenon both driving it in
HIGH and LOW rates?

CDR We saw it in all rates and it looked like it was


driving in HIGH in all rates, but things are
working well at the moment.

209 lh 13 20 CC Okay, let me continue down my list then. We're


little bit puzzled about the horizon check. We're
still thinking about that one. There was some
thought that it might be possible that you had
seen the terminator because of the conditions
you were in at the time. However, we really Just
don't know. We're tracking you here at Goldstone,
but we'll have to run the information and, by
Madrid, we'll have a good look at the way the
NC2 - correction, the NC1 burn went. And there's
one number on you P52 option 3, which is the
NOUN 93 Z, that I'd like for you to give me
again.

209 14 14 00 CDR Okay, that's plus 024. And now that you mention
this business about the terminator, I wouldn't
s_ be surprisedif you were right.
78

209 14 14 ll CC Well, the terminator was quite a bit below you


there, and we're - we're checking the angles.
That might have been right, but we were a little
bit puzzled as to how the star check could have
been so good and the horizon check not. At any
rate, we're thinking about it. And - -

209 14 21 20 CDR ... same place?

CDR ...

SPT It drives to ZERO. And that's got nothing to do

CDR ...

SPT Well, that's better than getting it stuck.


That's what they recommend so we're kind of stuck
anyway.

SPT There you go. Twice. Yes. Had an update but

save gas.

SPT ...

CDR Right. We don't need it. We're not going to use

SPT Might be a good idea to find out what the


problem is, though.

say. I'm sure they're talking it over right now.
88

I knew when I had that thing I shouldn't have said
that.

209 15 09 02 PLT Here's the tape, 0.

209 15 09 19 CDR Good news. Now let's see what else we got to
get out, gang. What do we need? Have we got
everything out we're going to need for this
rendezvous, Jack?

PLT Yes. We already got some cold water there with


a -- --

CDR Okay, I'll get it for you if - Where do you


want the tape?

PLT Hand it back to me. _--_

PLT Thank you.

209 15 09 _2 CDR ... the checklist. We're not ready to perform


it yet, Jack. We'll make sure we've got everything
done on this page.

CDR We don't make mistakes; we better not male


mistakes.

CDR Hey, I want to look at that now. SPS, then


forget it. Service module RCS helium pressure
low or decreasing.

209 15 l0 30 CDR Service module RCS propellant/quantity.


Compare helium pressure/quantity, both low
and decreasing. Both low, is what I found out.

SPT Yes. No, they're not decreasing, they are -


You just - You can answer that question - You
f haveto waitto answerthat.

CDR Yes. Both low and decreasing? Yes. Isolate


helium system. We did. Pressure decrease stops?

209 15 l0 55 SPT Yes, the answer is yes.

CDR Quad fuel t-n_ pressure decrease? That we don't


know.

- 209 15 ll 0_ SPT What was that?

209 15 ii 05 CDR Pressure to _uad leak or it could of been a -


We don't know whether it's a quad leak or a helium
leak. But we do know it's leaking down - -

SPT Quad's decreasing, we know that.

209 15 ii I_ CDR Now, one thing that's clever of the whole


doggone thing; you'll notice that manifold
pressure is okay; now what does that tell you?

209 15 ii 22 SPT That doesn't tell us anything. It wasn't leaking


down through the check valves. In other words,
it's somewhere up in the helium group.
CDR Okay, we've go_ to take the ... when we get
there ...

SPT Be between the - the regs - in between the regs


and the check valve.

CDR Okay. Don't tell them what you think. There's


1 - if you don't, that's their business. Three,
stop - does quad fuel tank pressure decrease? If
the answer is yes - SERVICE MODULE RCS, QUAD A,
CLOSED. Pressure decrease, yes. Could be. You got
any propellant leaks?

SPT Guess it could be.

209 15 12 03 CDR It could be propellant leak downstream of quad


propellant isolation valves, right? Or -

SPT Yes.

CDR - - helium leak between helium isolation valves


and check valves.

SPT Right. -

CDR Or helium propellant leak below oxidizer


check valves. STDN can determine leak location.

SPT ... that or you'll ...

209 15 12 h9 CDR I think I am happy about that. A lot happier


than it could have been. Thank you, 0wen.

SPT Yes.

PLT You're certain that there really was a leak,


huh? It was not Just - happened to be
using all that much?

CDR Can't you see - quads down¶

SPT Well, C and D ...

CDR That 's right.

SPT I saw it go down.

209 15 13 12 CDR I haven't used much. I've been real frugal.


99

SPT Yes.

CDR I've done everything in ... except the


stationkeeping and didn't do much of that:
I think we're probably way up on the RCS at the
moment, but I don't think there's any way the -
• they all ... simple.

SPT Yes.

209 15 13 30 CDR Okay. Now let's look here; 04:02. Owen, would
you check that sextant every once in awhile?

SPT Sextant?

CDR See what you see. Put it on CMC, let it track


itself.

209 15 13 47 SPT Okay. It's tracking. I sure wish somebody


would get out the - the - The thing told me I
could take off this medical stuff, l'm thinking.

s- 209 15 14 06 CDR I don't think so, myself.

SPT Says here.

CDR Okay.

209 15 14 09 SPT Doff UCTA. Place UCTA clamps on UCTA. Stow in


portable waste, don UCTA. Stow ops, biobelt.
It's a separate bag.

CDR Okay, you're right ....

SPT ...

209 15 14 34 CDR Nothing in the optics, huh?

SPT No.

CDR Would you consider looking in A-5 and getting


out that black bag that I didn't get out, like
a dumb-dumb. And then - I don't know where -
where did you say those urine clips were, A-67

PLT ... around ...

SPT Here you go.

PLT ... the cabin.

209 16 03 20 CDR Trouble is, we won't be able to use that other quad
either, see? We got a two-quad operation right now.

PLT Why is that? What are they -

209 16 03 27 CDR The one opposite it. We got a two-quad flight going
here.

PLT Yes.

CDR The way you get into what could be con - call it
one thing, but when you lose one whole quad, what's
the rule?

PLT That's ... because you don't have to come home.

209 16 03 45 • CDR Wo. Because if you lose the oppoaite _umd, you ...
quad, you can't ullage, l'm not sure that ain't
the rule.

SPT Well, we haven't exactly lost that quad, yet.


102

PLT It's my bet they don't troubleshoot it.

209 16 0h i0 CC Skylab, Houston. AOS Bermuda for 3 minutes.

CDR Okay, we hear you loud and clear.

CC Roger, CDR. That comm is a little bit scratchy


here. We were a little bit late locking up on the
quad. We've had scme second thoughts, and at the
moment we're completely GO for rendezvous. We
still have all our deorbit capabilities, and so we
elect now not to troubleshoot it any more to avoid
a possible hard start. And this is - Since the
procedure we were thinking about involved ... read?

CDR We copied Just to when you said "hard start"


and then you broke up, Dick.

209 16 05 22 CDR Yes. We got our deorbit capabilities because the


leak's not big enough to bother us.

PLT Yes.

CDR We can isolate it; we can always bring it on in


ullage.

PLT Yes.

CDR And we got the SPS, so we're okay. Thank goodness


we can isolate it.

PLT ...

CDR I wonder what's leaking back there.

PLT That ... ought to be worn off by now, I would think.

SPT 25 minutes.

209 16 05 54 CDR To go? Including three final counts. 848, we got


that .... final pad we're supposed to get next pass.
They can lock us up at Canary. Well, I don't guess
they will.

SPT Well I don't see any way I can ... this far ...

CDR No. The minute - the minute they call me, I prefer
to have it back, because they're going to give me
a couple of pads that we need to make this burn. _-_
_ 103

CDR We 'Ii begin the mark ...

209 16 06 44 CDR ... in the wrong direction ... propellant is what


they were worried about. We don't need a hard start.

you see something of interest.

SPT I know. How about ...?

PLT All that water sticks to the panel. And the water
runs up the side of the drink gun and then Just
sticks to the panel everywhere. Are you through
with that ...?

SPT Yes.

PLT Well, let's see, ...

209 19 37 53 SPT You didn't seem like you were.

every time I'd look at it, it was 23 and - -

SFT 20.

PLT Before we started in you said ... Got to ...


slow it down.

CDR I'm glad you did. I think you saved our neck
to tell you the truth. I think the best thing
you've done on this flight was convince me to
keep braking, frankly.

J
124

209 19 38 17 CDR I wasn't convinced; I was convinced it was


broken down. One time I thought we were at
l0 and we were at 20. I couldn't believe it!
I'm glad you did it because the thing that got
to us maybe - we may find out too with this
configuration that you can't brake and go down
at the same time. It Just didn't want to go
down and it didn't want to brake, but I may have
been ... on screwing it up.

209 19 38 45 PLT I don't like screwing up.

CDR Well, let's press on.

SPT Next time, A1, do it different.

CDR No, next time we do it the same way because we're

wouldn 't return ?

PLT Uh?
i

209 19 40 34 CDR Those poles are not fully extended, Just like
they said. I think what probably happened is
I made ...

209 19 40 42 SPT Well, it would be smother thing if they'd lift


it up - the tieline could come up to this edge -
you know, holding the parasol out so far. Then
they could tie. Those tielines are much too long;
now it may be because those poles aren't extemded
_sht.

CDR That's right. I think that - -

SI_ But whichever reason it is, those tielines are


very loose.

209 19 40 58 CDR That's why the son of a gun doesn't hold the
whole thing. Because ... should never have gone
up there. We're not hoping for it, Jack.

209 19 41 07 PLT I don't know, ... Fifty feet do you think?

f
126

SPT Would you say 50 feet?


\

PLT No, we're inside the ...

CDR Another thing, I not only shouldn't have been


there, I was too close. I should never have gone
up that high. Should have stayed out in front.
Dumbl Once you get there, you're stuck. I was
Just trying to back up, and everytime I'd get
both ... in I'd say, "Oh, he's got some slack."
So I'd give a little ... side and get some torque
in, you know. I give it a flip. It's right
back where it was. Right back where it was!

a laugh. Drogue removal, decal.

SPT Yes, where is that switch, here? I've forgotten


where the switch is. All right.

209 21 02 58 SPT Okay, we're supposed to stow that ... on top of


Jack. Maybe you - No, that's ...

209 21 03 16 SPT A11 right, I'll hold it here. I'll hold all this.

SPT Loud and clear, Jack.

PLT Good.

SPT Found various things floating around down in here.


For example here's a - -

209 22 42 58 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Van_,_rd for the

we've got a couple of messages for him.

PLT Oh, okay, Houston.

CDR Okay, Just a second.

PLT Well, here I am, Bruce, and I got a couple for you.
Go ahead.

209 22 43 18 CC Okay, me first. During this station pass we're


going to comm_nd the airlock module 02 FILL and
AM FILL valves to the CLOSE position. We used
them for bringing up the atmosphere, and they're
actually being regulated by pressure switches.
Down on molecular sieve B, we show that the fan
has not been enabled. The checklist calls for it
to go to SECONDARY position on mol sieve B fan - -

209 22 52 ii SPT I think if you're at the place to turn off, it


would be a good time.

209 22 52 16 CC Skylab, Houston. We have about 1 minute until LOS.


Next station contact will be Hawaii at 23:52, or
Just about exactly 1 hour from now. We believe
the blood pressure cuff and stethoscope are in
E-610, but we're still in the process of confirming
that. Over.

SPT .That's right, and l've cleared it.

209 23 00 28 CDR Ok_. Put the - I Just wanted to s_ put the


CM RCS light - CAUTION AND WARNING - Wait a minute.

CDR Okay, now perform a MEMORY RECALL and see if you


can get it.

SPT __Iready done it.

CDR Were you able to?

SPT That's right. Got the CSM.

CDR Okay. You had to wait until I turned it off here,


though.

one more t_me, now. Don't come on that test until
I call.

SPT Okay.

209 23 01 2h CDR Okay, now turn it off and perform the recall test.

SPT Okay. Have you got yours removed? I've got it


and cleared it.

CDR It recalled okay, huh?

SPT That 's right.

209 23 01 44 CDR Good. That's the end of the test. Cleared it


and everybody' s happy.

SPT I've already done it. Now we've got the FSCP test
to go through.
CDR Let me look through - through and make sure there
isn't anything else.

PLT ... the heater ...

209 23 05 47 PLT Oh, it's a little warm but the power ... ventila-
tion ... pretty warm ...

209 23 06 42 SPT Okay. A1, for your information, I'm going to go


ahead and start the fire sensor checks on
page 1-43.

CDR Okay, I've got to go down and fecal it.

209 23 06 55 SPT It's probably usable, now. I don't really know.

CDR I'm going to Just get the old handbag and go to


some spot and do it.

SPT Okay.

PLT The blowers are on. The blowers are on. You'll
.... be able to use the area ... grab a bag and the air
blowers ... you turn on that blower and the blower
works and everything.

PLT I think that it came on - I think it came on when


I turned the circuit breakers on, and after a few
minutes, it went off. I think that's what it was.
Well, I turned on all the circuit breakers. No,
I never ...

209 23 lO 31 PLT Okay. I won't go away.

CDR Nothing, Jack. It's a 02 flow up here.

SPT We have to put the main regs on to get water


out of these spigots, and so it makes the
02 flow go high.

PLT All right. Okay.

PLT Hey, why don't you bring a couple of aspirins


down with - with that stuff, if you would,

210 13 42 09 PLT All right, we Just went according to checklist


yesterday, Bruce. Whatever is in there is what
we did. And, also, water tank I0 checks out to be
about 6.0 in its iodine content.

210 13 48 i0 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Canary for 8


minutes for the PLT. Over.

210 13 48 22 PLT Go ahead, Bruce.

210 18 58 51 SPT Okay.

210 18 59 46 CDR Hey, Jack, come on up here. Jack, come on up here


and take a look.

210 18 59 53 PLT What have you got?

210 18 59 58 CDR It's a MAIN A undervolt and it looks like it's


f movingthe fuel cell around quitea bit.

210 19 19 32 PLT Yes, Bruce, we were down there resting and got
a MASTER ALARM. Turned out to be a MAIN A
undervolt. And came up here and looked at it in
the command module. And noticed that MAIN A was
down around 25 volts for a little while and the
fuel cell was putting out a lot of current. And
then it went down and went back to normal. And
then it made a couple more spikes, very intermit-
tently, a couple of times. And I kind of suspected
the heaters, although I don't know for sure.

TIME SKIP

210 19 57 41 CDR Well, we got it right now; go ahead, Bruce.

TIME SKIP

210 20 32 20 SPT Okay. This is the SPT recording on channel A, I


f hope, on the tape recorder. I'ii repeat some
cnw..ents that I made earlier to the hiomed people
150

about the urine sampling. On our first mission


day, the CDR and PLT each had two UCTAs, ,but the
SPT only had one UCTA, so we only had five samples
to make instead of the stan_d six. The samples
were m_de as per checklist, but as noted before
on the earlier mission, there is a lot of air
getting into those samples. That's particularly
true of PLT sample number 2 because the UCTA didn't
have much in it, probably only a couple or 300 mil-
limeters of urine and that may have contributed
to the extra air that got in there. But I have
been taking special pains to get - or did take
special pains to get the half-sample bags as fUll
as was possible. My guess is they're something
like two-thirds to three-ql,avters full of urine
and the remainder is air.

210 20 33 24 SPT Also, after filling the bags this full I found
that only five of these half-sample bags could
be fitted into tray number i - and I didn't look
it up in the Biomed Checklist, but CAP COMM re-
minded me that these hAlf-samples from the first r_
day do go in tray 1. And so they're filed and
they're stored and they're freezing right now,
but it's a good thing there were only five, be-
cause I would have never made that sixth sample
into that tray. I presume that's what you were
expecting, but - Oh, well, let me correct that.
I presume that's not what you were expecting. You
were expecting all six to go in there. And maybe
I Just had them a little bit fuller than normal.
But, anyway, those are stored in there now, and
we did activate the urine system by wake-up time
on mission day 2, here. And so we are filling the
urine bags in the nor-_l manner without the bags
having to have been brought down from the cnm-_nd
module here on day 2.

210 20 34 30 SPT I'II repeat. That message again goes to the biomed
people; Dr. Leach, in particular, concerned with
the urine system.

210 20 36 34 CDR Hello, Jack.

SPT He's over in the sleep compartment, Al. What do


you need?

PLT Go ahead. _'-"

CDR I'm trying to dump this waste water. Says on


panel 217 - you know, that's the one with EVAs on
it - (Clears throat) IrA panel. Yes. It says
"Disconnect suit cooling loop gas line _D." I
can't find that thing.

210 20 37 03 PLT Let me think.

CDR Say again.

PLT Let me think.

CDR Okay, I'm trying to figure it out if it's the


center one inside that panel that you lift up.

PLT Oh, yes! It's the one that goes to the filter.

CDR Okay. That's what I thought, too. I'ii try -

PLT What's the name of it again? That's the one


F that takes the gas out of the suit loop.

CDR Yes, suit cooling -

210 20 37 44 PLT Believe that's the middle one, and it's got five
connectors. There's two in and two out and then
there' s gas.

SPT That 's okay.

PLT I - I'll be right up, but mark the skin temperature


and mA_k the time.

210 21 16 02 CDR Okay.

for the next 12 minutes. Over.

210 21 35 15 PLT Hello, Bruce. Hey, we're still up here in the


c_-,_d module. At least I am. And this time
l'm up here for a FUEL CELL 3 light.

CC Boy, it sounds like you found a home up there in


the cnmma, d module. Go ahead, though.

210 21 35 30 PLT Yes. I couldn't find anything wrong when I got


here except the CONDENSER EXHAUST was down a little
low, and it may have been below 150, but it got
back up before I got here. So I don't know exactly
why we do that, but the CONDENSER EXHAUST is rising
a little bit. It's almost in the green now.

211 17 07 i0 CC ...

211 17 07 51 CDR Okay, I guess we're going to have to add


changes to all of them for deactivation. What
we could probably do if we - we - Yes, that
would be the thing to do for that. For the EREP,
we use the cards so we'll change the cards when
only a single item appears on the card. We use
the cards as opposed to the checklist, anyway.

211 17 08 13 CDR As far as getting anything done, as far as


activation, we did our postsleep checklist, Bruce.
And then, since that time, we've been troubleshooting.

211 17 08 26 CDR And so when we start working on that other, I'ii


let you know.

211 17 15 51 CDR Ckay, this is CDR. The subject is the AM con-


densate tank dump troubleshooting procedure. And
I've Just initiated the dump. Now I don't think
this - -

211 17 16 00 CC Skylab, this is Houston. On telemetry, we're


watching your condensate tank DELTA-P and show
it at about 1.6. We're wondering if you would
care to give us a status on where you are in the
malf and if there's any way we can assist
you. 0ve r.

211 17 16 14 CDR Okay. I got to the malf at the point where it


said - step 7, where you said go dump the AM
condensate tAn_ dump. Now, as I reported to you,
the-bladder was in that end of the tank anyway.
In other words, the - the empty end. So l'm pre-
sently dumping per your instructions, and it 's
going to be completely empty in a second.

211 17 16 40 CC Roger. We understood your call on the position


and Rogeryouractions, r_
i_7

211 17 16 46 CDR Okay. Now the thing that puzzles me on this,


it says, "Observe bladder during dump and prior
to bla - bladder bottling out, perform next
operation." Well, see, the bla - bladder was al-
ready bottomed out.

211 21 33 49 SPT Okay, this is the SPT recording some information


on channel A. This first bit of information is
for the biomed people and BMMD people. It is in
response to your question about what sort of
clothes that we are wearing at the time we take
our mass measurements. I'm only going to speak
for myself, but on the first day - the first day's
measurement - that was on day 2, I was wearing
shorts, socks, and my lightweight shoes, not the
triangle, but the soft shoes and a watch. On
day 3, which was the second day which we were
F being weighed, I was wearing a T-shirt, shorts,
and - and socks. Now I think that will probably
be the sort of standard way I weigh from now on.
So if there's any change from T-shirt, shorts,
socks, and a watch, I will let you know of
that change.

211 21 34 53 SPT And that's the end of that message. I'Ii go down
and give you another message in a moment.

211 21 38 00 SPT Okay, back on channel A for recording. SPT with


information for Bill Thornton and those asso-
ciated with MI72. The following is the information
about the MI72 run and Just a brief s11mm_y to
review the numbers that I will be giving you.
There will be l0 numbers for each of the following
configurations. First, with no load at all in
the chair, Just oscillating freely. Next
was with one tray, then with an extra battery,
and then with a second extra battery, then with
a second tray, and the third tray, then the
fourth tray, and then empty again. There was
only one deviation from the scheduled procedure.
And that is, when I put on the first tray, I
forgot to add the two clips that are used to
_ hold it together. This is the first tray add2d
with the extra tray up in the dome locker, and
158

there was no oscillation of that lid. So I'm


sure it didn't interfere with the data any in
that respect, but it is necessary to subtract
the weight of those two clips from the measure-
ment made with the first tray, and then the first
tray plus the battery, and the second battery.

211 21 39 16 SPT When I got to the second tray, I remembered that


I should have added the two clips. So when I added
the second tray, I added four clips, two to the
first tray and two to the second tray. Then in
adding the third tray, two more clips, and
fourth tray, the final two clips. So that
will Just mean on sequences 2 and 3 and 4, it is
necessary to subtract the weight of those two
clips in evaluating how accurately the masses
were measured. So l've got these readouts to
six figures, of course. The first three are in
_]-_st all cases redundant. There is only one
sequence in which it was necessary to repeat the
third decimal. And I'ii, therefore, be only
repeating the last three digits, except in one --
case where I will note it. So following comes
this long set of n11mbers. Hold on.

211 21 40 16 SPT First sequence: 2.70442, 456, 461, 454, 440, B98,
434, 459, 452, 453. End of the - No, wait.
Next one is with one tray: 3.74881, 980, 929,
905, 970, 962, 912, 962, 954, 919. The third
sequence is now with an additional battery
added: 4.33266, 3411, 2917, 3094, 3143, 3115,
3115, 3128, 3197, 3174. End of the first
sequence with the first battery. And the
fourth sequence with the second battery added:
4.84440, 466, 404, 403, 375, 337, 519, 357, 360,
297. End of the fourth sequence. Now I added
the second tray, and as a reminder again that's
where I put on four clips, since I had forgotten
it on the first tray: 5.36298, 332, 355, 359,
332, 024, 445, 381, 307, 354. Now the sixth
sequence with the third tray: 5.83238, 330, 431,
312, 320, 476, 345, 686, 305, 674. And the
seventh sequence with the fourth tray: 6.26431,
509, 273, 506, 673, 178, 584, 788, 547, 455.
And now the eighth sequence, empty again: 2.70543,
449, 394, 433, 474, 436, 401, 440, 445, 433.
Those are all the nl,m_ers and, as a doublecheck,
I'ii Just read you the first nl,m_erin each
F

159

sequence of those eight: 2.70442, 3.74881,


4.33266, 4.84440, 5.36298, 5.83238, 6.26431,
2.70543.

211 21 43 52 SPT Okay, that completes all of the data, and it looks
like - for Bill Thornton, there, you've got a
mass measurement which exceeds the mass of any of
our crew. I think 6.26 is higher than Jack;
I'll check again in a minute. And the data all
looks pretty good to me, in terms of consistency.
We'd like back any comments from you, Bill,
about whether or not you're satisfied with the
data and whether or not there was any
significant change from mission i. As a matter
of fact, if there is no change, perhaps that will
mean that we can get away with either no - I'm
not sure what the number of times was, but I
thought you mentioned preflight that we
might be able to skip one if the data were
showing essentially no change from mission i. So
any comments on that would be appreciated, Bill.
This is the end of the information on M172 cal,
and it goes to the biomed people and M172 PIs.

211 21 45 39 SPT Just a comment for Bill Thornton from the SPT
again here. In checking back on Jack's weight,
I see that the final mass was almost exactly his
weight, so you ought to have a good handle on it.

TIME SKIP

211 22 43 09 SPT Okay, recording on channel A again, this is the


SPT with a couple of the small points on
172. I forgot - M172, body mass measuring - that
I forgot to mention. The start time was about
18:00 GMT and the finish time was about 19:35 GMT.
That was the finish time on the seventh sequence,
I believe. Yes, the eighth sequence was about
45 minutes later on the next Sun-side rev. And
the temperature on the BMMD itself was
80 degrees Fahrenheit; Fahrenheit both start
and finish.

211 22 43 47 SPT And that information goes to Bill Thornton and


f others interested in body mass measuring device.

(AM1

212 00 45 29 PLT Okay. As you recall, the last minor - or mass


measuring device has failed, and we've brought up
a new one to replace it. And Owen is in the pro-
cess of changing out the old one and putting in
the new one. The one he's holding in his hand
now is the old mass measuring device, the elec-
tronics board.

212 00 46 04 PLT Now he's going to turn on the new mass measuring
device. And, as you can see, it appears as though
it's going to work.

212 00 46 25 PLT And he's getting ready to calibrate the mass


measuring device. And he has a cali - a - a
' temperatureprobe or thermometerwith which he'll
calibrate the temperature to begin with. And the
temperature is 80 degrees.

212 00 46 50 PLT Now when the carriage is released, it oscillates


back and forth. The frequency of the oscillation
determines the weight or the mass of the object
to be measured.

212 00 47 19 PLT Okay, he releases it again. He has set it at


zero. You can see it counting up now. And the
weight of the carriage, at the moment, is 1 -
calibrated at 1.95611, as you can see on the -
the display. Now to calibrate this accurately,
we have a set of - of accurately known weights.
Owen is now fastening 50 grams onto the carriage.
He'll reset it to zero, release the carriage; the
counter counts up, and you can see now that we
have a bigger number - 2.033, roughly. This now
corresponds to a 50-gram weight. He'll do this
several times to make sure he gets an accurate
reading.

212 00 48 20 PLT The other weights that we have to calibrate the


mass measuring device are 100 grams, 200, and
500; and, of course, we can fasten them together
and form several combinations to calibrate the
scale over a wide .range of values. Now as the
mass is increased, you may notice that the
carriage oscillates more slowly. It is this
frequency of oscillation which can be converted
into a weight.

212 00 49 ll PLT Then all the masses put together give a reading
162

of 3.05. So you can see, we have a high reading


for a lot of mass and a low reading for less mass.

212 00 49 35 PLT The mass measuring device in the wardroom com-


partment here is used to measure the solid foods
that we don't eat. If we eat all of our food, we
don't have to weigh any of it. But in order to
know how many minerals that we have eaten, it is
necessary to know what food we don't eat. Thus,
we can measure the amount of food that we don't eat
ca this mass measuring device.

212 00 51 20 SPT Okay, Jack Just weighed his pencil there and then
floated on out of the picture. We'll see if we
can get the spacecraft cnmmander Alan Bean over
here to weigh some of the food that he may not
have eaten tonight. He doesn't usually leave
much behind but - -

CDR I'll weigh this cracker.

SPT Here's a cracker. We'll see what one biscuit


weighs.

CDR ... a little crumb.

SPT (Chuckle) There goes part of the cracker that's -


been lost.

CDR Uh-oh. What 's it supposed to weigh when it 's - -

212 00 51 53 SPT So if he failed to eat that one biscuit out of


his can of four, then he would weigh it on that
machine and report it to the ground that he was
so many units short of biscuits for the evening.

212 14 51 54 CDR End of message concerning SOPA/SOMA [sic].

212 14 53 04 SPT Here's information on channel A for the


biomed people concerning the run - unscheduled
run on the 171 protocol on the ergometer. This
is the SPT, and I Just got through aligning it
all per procedures after ta1_ing with Story about
how to get displays. And I've not modified it
with the extra rails that go around the bicycle
yet, so it's still the old configuration. And
I was pedaling the bicycle with no restraints at
all; therefore, only gripping the handlebars and
pedaling with my feet for total stability. The
numbers that I got were as follows. After 5
minutes at 80 watts, heart rate was only 98 beats
per minute. At 130 watts, after 5 minutes, my
heart rate was 1_4 beats per minute. At that
point, I hadn't hooked up the ear probe yet.
Decided I might as well go ahead and do that.
So I hopped off the bicycle for a couple of min-
utes while I hooked up the ear probe, and then
crawled back on and set it at 160 vice a standard
165. I was about 5 watts low on the setting.
And after 5 m_nutes at that power level, the ear
probe was showing 172 beats per minute, and a
manual count, as soon as I stopped, was 170.

212 14 54 21 SPT So as you can see, the latter two numbers are a
few beats per minute higher than my ground-based
numbers; but all in all, they are pretty close.
And I think the extra increment there could be
accounted for on the basis of the extra work I
had to do, in upper torso, grasping the handle-
bars, because there was some extra work, I could
feel involved and, also, the reduced mechanical
efflcfeny from working in a rather new environ-
ment of zero g. So as far as the - the numbers
are concerned relative to conditioning, it looks
to me like there's been no cb-nge in the _ days
165

we've been up here. Although, as far as my sub-


Jective feelings were concerned, it was not a
particulazly difficult task. I was sweating
somewhat less than I usually sweat on the ground
at the higher workload, although it is a drier
environment, so part of that may have Just been
a rapid evaporation. But all in all, it Just
looks very similar to the ground-b_sed runs on
this first one. I, of course, didn't have the
hoses hooked up or anything. All it was - was
Just the bicycle and the ear probe for heart rate.

212 14 55 27 SPT That's the end of the message relative to the


171 protocol.

213 19 13 _i SPT The SPT on channel A for recording relative to


I_ the first M131-1 run with PLT as subject
' and the SPT as observer. On the OGI test,
in step l, there were only two mistakes ;
in step _, there were four mistakes; on step
8, there were three mistakes; on step 10,
there were four mistakes - correction,
step 10, there were three mistakes; step 18,
there were no mistakes. So it's possible
that I forgot to make one entry onto the
data tape recorded on those runs. But aside
from that, I think I pressed the appropriate
entry. There is also one false start; I put
it on step 1 and ran one sequence. I didn't
like the way I'd set it up, so I stopped it
and then started over and completed the ...
four sequences on step 1 and then the addi-
tional step. On the motion sensitivity
session to 131-1, there was a fault light
appeared after the first 25 head movements
that was caused by the SPT observer trying
to rotatethe chaira littlebit. And so
we picked up - Just restarted and picked up
and completed the 150 head movements. So
there'll be 25 of them on the first sec - se-
quence and 125 on the second sequence. We
did report, at about 50 head movements, there
was slight dizziness. That was the only s)ap-
tom all the way through the full 150. After-
wards, there were no remaining symptoms, nor
did nothing disappear outside the fact of
this overall feeling of about - he estimated

we're planning on going to 171 run, but being very
careful to observe his behavior. This decision
was also made on the basis of the fact that the
LBNP takes a look at your ability to pool blood,
but the 171 looks at your cardiovascular system
in general. Now we don't know all there is to
know about these two things_ but I think it's
probably prudent to go ahead and run the 171, but
keep a very close eye on his health.

cue card; this cal works. I think that should
have been 46 to 50, whereas our cue card said 42
to 44 which we checked in the checklist, so it
looks like that does pass after all.

213 23 22 30 SPT Okay. We're recording on channel A in reference


to the biomed people, MITI Pls. SPT reporting;
Just finished his 171 run with the CDR as ob-
server, and a couple of comments from me. First
of all, I left the mouthpiece in for the whole
run. You might have a few extra minutes of data
as result of that. And secondly, the bicycle is
not modified yet. We still have only the old
handlebars and we're using no restraints at all
outside ef gripping the handlebars, holding on
that way and also propping my head up against
the speaker box. So I gained a little bit of
f extra supportfrom that. But it does mean that
the mechanical efficiency is lower; and there-
174

fore, the actual work generated might be above


that delivered to the ergometer, as I expect you
should be able to verify by looking at the
02 dots, oxygen consumption rate. And also, that
would mean that the blood pressure measurements,
which in some cases were about 200 millimeters,
were probably spurious. At least I - I saw
several up around 240 or so, and I don't believe
those because I was gripping the handlebar very
firmly and using it to hold myself on the bi-
cycle for the entire run.

213 23 35 56 CDR Okay, CDR on 171 again. I'm going to voice re-

found that it would be null satisfactory, but
there was no way to calibrate the B.4 reading in

could make it work. So l've switched it now and
have put another legband on his left leg. This
one is Alfa Delta. Alfa Delta is on his left
leg. This one will calibrate fine, both null
and at the high end.

214 19 39 57 SPT Okay, this is the SPT with information on the


M092 run on the CDR. We got to 40 millimeters
and 15 minutes time remaining and terminated the
run at 13:20 time remaining. The systolic and
diastolic blood pressures had, apparently, begun
to converge a little blt, the systolic dropping
below 90. But it's not entirely certain that
those were good blood pressure measurements.
They were erratic and didn't further the history
with the CDR that blood pressure measurements
are not very reliable. But it did look as if
there might have been some convergence in pulse
pressure. The heart rate had gone up from a rest
of about 70 to between 100 and ll0, and the CDR
felt - felt he was tingling, more or less, all
over but particularly noticeable in the head.
And felt - he also felt that it was time to ter-
minate the run. So we pressed the trigger and
released the pressure at 13:20 and are now con-
tinuing the fUll 25 minutes in the can, before
switching over and doing the M171 protocol.

214 19 49 57 SPT Okay, SPT recording channel A, reference to


M092 run. Just before the final cal at the end,
I turned the tape recorders off for a moment,
then turned them back on. And the reference
band had come out of the CDR's right - left -
right middle legband. So I opened the LBNP, re-
placed it as accurately as I could to the
position it was before, and closed it again, and
then did the HIGH and LOW CAL. So you'll prob-
ably have to look at that data with a bit of
doubt as to how accurate the final calibrations
were. The left leg did - was not touched between -
when opening and closing the LBNP; and yet, the
final cals, both the null and high points, were
both very far off the prerun positions. So
can't explain that, but you ought to take a look
at it. Now the CDR said he felt - flexed his
legs and he felt the left leg slip. Okay, so the
band m_y have slipped a little bit on the left
leg when he flexed it, and that might account for
the abnorm_l readings on the left leg.

214 19 52 20 SPT Okay, we' re recording on channel A now for the

GEN is 72.83; WATER is 4.74; CO 2 is 2.00. And
that is the end of the information required for
the 171 run on the CDR. I would like to ask a
question to the biomed folks, in particular to
Doctor Johnson on the M092 information. We've
been given three cuffs to use for our right leg
are 16 to 17 inches in circumference, and they are
really loose on both Bean and myself. When I wear
one; I've not worn one yet, but they are so
large, I wonder if it wouldn't be better if we
used a sm_!ler circ1-,_erence for, at least, Bean
and myself. In l_mnlng the co--,-nder today, I
had to put that wedge in - in the opposite -
and rotate it 90 degrees from its usual orienta-
tion Just simply to make it expand the diameter
of the leg plus wedge further than usual. And
it still wasn't tight enough because it came
loose at the end of the run. I would of thought
a smaller circnmference would of been better for
both the CDR and SPT. And if that's so, l'd
appreciate some information coming up on the
teleprinter about it. We'll continue to try to
use these three, however, until we get some other
information from you.

214 20 40 05 SPT This is the end of the information relevant to


M092/171 on the CDR.

21_ 22 17 27 SPT The SPT on cbanuel A with a question for the M092 PI,
Dr. Robert Johnson. It is a question about the
legbands. One of them has, apparently, malfunctioned.
I tried to use legband BJ, a 14/15 size on Alan Bean
this afternoon. And when it came time to calibrate
at the HIGH level, since it was on his left leg,
you actually do it by first depressing CAL LOW,
and then adjusting the GAIN to 3.2. It would not
adjust at all. The zero set - or the NULL did
balance correctly, hut the upper test point would
not adjust at all on this particular leg - legband.
So I assume that there is a lead or something
broken, and I would llke to know whether or not it
can simply be discarded or if there is anything
else that needs to be done with it. If you can
send up a short teleprinter message in response
to that, I would appreciate it.

185 DAY215(AM)

215 02 06 36 PLT Hello there, space fans, on channel A, this is


Jack. The subject is EREP thermal aiignment.
The thermal ali_ment is complete. I took your
advice on page 10-9 of the EREP Checklist. The
right meter read 12-1/2 percent. The facts you
gave me didn't make any difference; it still
read 12-1/2 percent. So I went into the search
you gave me in your up-link and which I posted
into page i0-ii of the EREP Checklist. I went
through that whole beauty without a peep out of
the meter. It stayed at 12-1/2 percent until
I got down to the next-to-the-last test, number 26,
and the percent went up to 19 percent when
I got to X equals 0_540, Z equals 0.495. At that
point, I went into - into the right meter peaking
procedure. It turns out that I had to turn the
focus one complete revolution beyond that which
you told me to turn it, clockwise, and looking
from the micrometer in. Therefore, the focus
knob is now two complete turns off the micrometer
_- in stop. The final settings are as follows:
Micrometer is X equals 0.5_6; Z equals 0.4901;
the right meter equals 45 percent, 45 percent
which is 5 percent better than the number you
gave me.

215 02 08 hO PLT Okay, I'll repeat a little bit on the visible


alignment. The visible alignment requires
changing the focus 13 twelfths; that is, one and
one-twelfth turns from where I started. I then
went - I then went back one twenty-fourth of a
turn; that is, I went clockwise altogether 25
twenty-fourths turn. The final focus setting was
at that point. The left meter then read, left,
85 percent; right, 65 percent. I adjusted the
X meter, I adjusted the X control for the max -
ma×imize the right meter without letting the left
meter drop less than 82 percent. Therefore, the
left meter reads 82 percent; the right meter
66 percent, which again is bigger than the
numbers you gave me in the book. Both of these
- all of these alignments were done with the
attenuator installed. I don't know whether or
not the numbers you gave me included the attenuator
or not. In my opinion, the thermal and visible
alignments are as accurate and as close and they
f- can remain at this time. And I do not intend
to follow them further nnless we have a problem.
This is Jack.

215 13 53 39 CDR This is the CDR. Subject is S073. At 13:53,


we started program I-B. It se_m= to be _inn_ng
okay; I'm watching it here. Prior to the
program, we were supposed to pick up on page 8
of the - correction, 6-11. This is a "i"
program. The book says, down in step 5 - it
says, -"If mode i is to be performed, do calibration
by configuring panels as follows." Okay, we did
that; this occurred about i0 minutes ago, which
would be about 43 or so. And then we pressed
on to the time it said, "progra-,,er switch should
start." And we did. Now what occurred was, we
never seemed to get a cal. It would cycle
through all the filter wheel A program and then
would cycle around through them again and then
cycle through them again, and cycle through them
again and it never fln_shed doing that. Now when
this is over, l'm going to try to do another
one. I tried to do that one with a programmer -
CAMERA PROGRAM enable switch to ENABLE. And
perhaps that wasn't where it was supposed to
be. It should have been OFF. But anyhow, we're
going to - At the end of this run when it stops,
I'll come down here and try to do that sequence
again. If it's possible, we'll get it; if not,
we won't.

CDR Check them. Check all the readings on the monitor


decal.

SPT What's the time again?

PLT How's the maneuver, O?

215 17 41 37 CDR Okay, I'm checking all readings. 1 shows 46 percent;

be 22 to 58, and it is; it's 31. B-8 should be
0 to<5, and it's about 1. C-7 should be 30 to 80,
and it's about 63. D-6 should be 0 to 82 and
it's about 58.

PLT What's a few mibs among friends?

CDR - - we got a good nadir align.

215 18 03 29 PLT There's a little bit of clouds over the Salt Flats,
Houston, on the north side; so I picked all my
sites in the south end of the Salt Flats, and I
picked three different ones, two l_ight ones and
a little darker one. Copy?

CC We copy, Jack.

PLT Okay. Afraid this nadir swath on clouds isn't


going to give you much because there ain't many
clouds.

CC We got that, Jack.

PLT ... took our nadir swath, I guess.

PLT I saw where San Bernard Basin was, but there's


too many clouds over it to take any good data

216 02 09 ii SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A recording the


data on the last PLT 131, OGI run, as requested
in your pad of 07 - 0705 Alfa, of day 6. Let's
see - no, that wasn't when the pad came up.
Take it back; guess it was. This is the request
on 0705 Alfa, day 6; you wanted the information
on the pilot, so what I'll do is start with step l;
give you the directions and response. Counter-
clockwise rotation: wrong, wrong. Counterclock-
wise rotation: correct, correct. Clockwise ro-
tation: wrong, correct. Clockwise rotation:

216 02 12 13 SPT Okay, this is the PLT recording on channel A


again. (Clears throat) You have to el_m_uate
all my preceding comments about the data on the
PLT. It turns out that the data on the PLT is
being erased from the card and the steps that I
gave you, starting out 1 and 4, were not for him
at all. The reasonthat I was misledwas that
we only erased the responses, and it was still
my handwriting, but the responses were for a
different person. So all that we can remember
is that there were about an equal number of
misses except (cough), excuse me, in levels l, 4,
and 8 on the PLT. We did not have his actual
responses, but we do recall that there was no
indication that he had passed his threshold for
perceiving the illusion. And sorry, but we do
not have the detailed information at this time - ."
at this point.

216 02 21 34 PLT Hello, channel A. This is Jack speaking. This


message is for Bill Thornton and others of the
medical world interested in physical exercise.
I worked in the Mark I todd, a handy little exer-
cise device. I recorded 50 A's and my heart rate
was 108 after finishing with that; 20 B's, 20 D's,
and 20 back exercises, and my heart rate after
each one of those was 100. MY arm exercises on
the ergometer were 5 minutes, 550 watts ; my
heart rate was ll0. And pedaling the bicycle
208 _--

for i0 minutes, 2000 watts, my heart rate was


15o.

216 13 4B 18 SPT The SPT recording on channel A. This information


goes to the Mll0 PI. The questionwas whether or
not the hemoglobin test was done after Mll0. And
I would like to have done that, Steve, but there
was absolutely no time available to take - to
take out to do it. I wanted to do it after both
the 3rd and 6th days' runs, but we've been so
pressed for time that there's been no way to work
it in. If you can work it in on the schedule,
why I'd - I'd like to take the time to do it. But
the way we've bees going, there's Just been no
opportlm_ty. And so, therefore, it was not done.
We did get six good samples, however; twice on • __
each of the crewmen, and I think All the plasma _
cartridges are Just what you're looking for,
without too much air and no indication of any red
component in them. So I think those are all good
samples. Just the same, I - it was a bad time to
do the hemoglobin. Information for the - Dr.

The answer to the first question is: Very s_m_lar
to ground-base trials. The answer to number 2
is negative. He was not as confident he was
right, as he was on the ground. The answer to
number 3 is sort of yes and no. While he did
not have any sense of noting a gravity vector,
he still maintained a one-g cue as to what is
upright by visual means related to the one-g
trainer. The answer to number 4 is negative.
The answer to number 5 is affirmative. There
were no additional comments and observations.

116 frames used on the ETC, Earth terrain camera.
That information for the _REP 190B people.

TIME SKIP

216 18 30 ii SPT This is the SPT with a couple of comments and addi-
tions for the ETC S190B people associated with
EREP, reference to the operation of the ETC camera.
First of all, most of the run today as taken at
five frames per minute, which will be 12 seconds
per exposure. In actuality, the camera was taking
frames at 13-second intervals. In other words,
it took 65 seconds instead of 60 for five frames
to be taken. You might want to take that into
account in sending your pad numbers for the set-
ting on frames per minute. And the next thing
was something we noted in real time, but that is
an interruptionof power after the data - taking
has been complete. The camera has been returned
to STANDBY and a little while thereafter, the
power of the camera Just quit turning - grinding
away - all those standard noises that it makes.
And then the power to the inverter or the power
from the inverter has been interrupted. And then
a couple of minutes later, the power came back
on and then one more time - maybe 5 minutes
later - same thing happened and the camera opera-
tion was curtailed for another couple of minutes
until it came back on. So I have no explanation
for this. We don't know whether it's the space-
craft systems or perhaps the camera inverter
system, but wanted to bring it again to your
attention so you can be thinking about it.

216 18 31 30 SPT SPT, end of comment.

216 18 _7 _5 CDR Okay, CDR with a message for the EGIL and it
concerns housekeeping 7B, which is water reservoir
check. I am presently looking at the A, D, and
C and B water reservoir. I can see that it is

f
226

more than half full. By that, I mean it is


more full, than the level of the flange. It
is difficult to tell then how much more is full
because the black bladder is somehow - interferes
with viewing how much more full it is than that.
I shined the flashiigJ_t in the water part and tried
to look down. It looks like it is 3 or 4 inches
additional. So there's plenty of water in there,
it appears to me.

216 18 48 28 CDR CDR out. That was a message for EGIL.

216 18 48 43 CDR This is the CDR and a correction for the message
to the EGIL. Since the black bladder is all the
way down to the full end, then you - I guess you
would have to say that it is completely full. In
other words, I can see water in the translucent
spot, where there isn't a bladder, and then where
I see the bladder through the translucent area,
I noticed that it completely covers that part of
the end. So I guess the feeling is then now, my
feeling would be that it is completely full.

216 20 40 17 CDR Okay, biomed, this is MO - This is CDR on M092


again. When I closed the can, the very accurate
cal that I'd done before on the left and right leg
Just went to heck in the handbasket. The right
leg, instead of being 3.5, was 3.7. The left
leg, instead of 3 - being 3.7, was 3.9. I Just
left the can closed and went back and trimmed
them out. So now they in - indicate zero and
null, and the numbers are supposed to, when you
go HIGH and LOW CAL; however, the can was closed
during this adjustment. And if you don't want
me to keep doing this - it this way, let us know
via teleprinter pad or a message. Otherwise it

216 21 2B 58 PLT ... started doing a little timing on your - timer
on the AMS here I started at 40 percent; at
90 percent, it should be 2 minutes and 15 seconds
by my calculations. I'ii give you a hack on that.
Too many things to do to open the shutter, and
start to watch all at zero, and close it and set
the watch exactly I00 percent. So I'ii time it
40 to 90, which is precisely half the time of
4-1/2 minutes. That's 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

216 21 24 53 PLT In some cases, Karl, here, we've been turning off
the recorder from start to finish of a long
exposure, so the times may not be exactly what
you had hoped they might be on the tape recorder,
although we can assure you that you're getting
the full times you called for on the pad. And it
doesn't look like the timer's working too darn
well. I've got a minute and a half - almost

216 21 28 35 PLT Well, Karl, I'm going to do it your way. I don't


think you want a 270-second exposure because
you've got h minutes in between fields, in some
cases and 5 minutes in some other cases. Hard
to tell. Okay. We're past the 50-percent mark
now, and the time is 1 minute and -

216 21 29 03 PLT MARK; 36 seconds. That's 96 seconds ... is


192 seconds instead of 270. I'm not sure you're
goingto like that. I think I'm going to quit
taking exposures until I get this resolved. Now
the problemis this timer doesn'trun for
270 seconds; 192. Yes. I'm going to stop and
have them - have it resolved, because it may be
that Karl wants me to use this . .. - the setting
as opposed to my watch.

216 21 29 59 PLT I don't think he does either.

216 21 30 03 CDR Yes, I think ...

PLT All right, I'll finish it out on his - I'd rather


do it right - That's the way it's coming out.
It's the way it's going to work out, A1.

CDR I think ...

PLT I'd rather do it right.

CDR ...

PLT That 's the way it 's coming out.

PLT That's the way it's going to work out, A1.

216 21 30 36 PLT Okay, Karl, we're coming up 100 percent, but I'm
not going to close the exposure meter or the
shutter this time. I'm going to give you a
mark, and tell you -

216 21 30 h6 PLT MARK; 3 minutes and 20 seconds. We went past a


f 100percent.
PLT It seems there's s_thing wrong with our little
card.

PLT Okay, Karl, I 'm not going to know exactly how


many seconds this exposure is, unless I stop my
watch, but I'll estimate it for you. Wait until
I stop it for about 30 seconds. Stand by to close
the shutter.

216 21 31 55 PLT MARK. _ SHUTTER, CLOSED; CARRIAGE RETRACT. Okay.


the next one we got time for is 118.8.

216 21 32 55 PLT 118.8 is set; 00.3. I can do that with the watch.
00.3 on the increasing side. That's set; okay. I
Just want to m,_e sure it's a straight h-i/2 on
my watch.

216 21 33 29 PLT Okay, we go to SLIDE RETRACTED, back in STOWAGE


for a moment. Then we'll start this little Jewel.

216 21 33 42 PLT Stand by to open the shutter.

216 21 33 47 PLT MARK; SHUTTER, OPEN. Frame number 7, __


field number 36 - field number 620, a
270-second exposure. Now this one will be a true
270 seconds. Mark my words. Before this next
S019 session, Karl, we want to get this resolved.
So we can get you exactly what you want. We can
time this with your - with our watch, if you wish.
We can do it anyway - your choice, Just so we
know. The last time around, it went from 0 to i00
in 3 minutes and 20 seconds, which is precisely
207 seconds - 70 seconds short of your goal. I
think what I'll do is time all the other settings,
the 30- and the 90-second exposure setting, and
let you know exactly how they're coming out.
Cnmlng up on 50 percent. Seems to be erratic.
Scaetimes it 's bigger sometimes -

216 21 35 24 PLT MARK. 39, 1 minute 39 that time; where-s, before,


it was 01:36. Looks like we're Just going to
beat the Slmrise at 21:39. 2-1/2 minutes to go.
No, almost 36. Okay to snmmATize, exposures i,
2, 3, and 4, and 5 were all taken using the timer
on the AMS. Exposure 6, on field 369, was about
4-1/2 minutes on my watch, give or take a little
bit. Frame number 7 on 620 - field 620 will be
. 235

precisely 4-1/2minutes. I'ii have to terminate


at that point, because sunrise is coming soon.
Okay, we're coming up on i00 percent. We'll
leave the SHUTTER, OPEN and I'ii mark the time,

216 21 37 08 PLT TIME. That time was 3 minutes and 22 seconds.


Well, it's hitting right around 200 seconds plus
or minus a few each time. l'm going to let this
one time out to precisely 4-1/2 minutes. And
we'll go back to the CARRIAGE RETRACT position,
as opposed to any other. Set the ROTATION and
TILT, retract the mirror, and close the door.
Okay, we're coming up on 04:30. Stand by to close
the shutter.

216 21 38 15 PLT MARK. SHUTTER, CLOSED. Over to CARRIAGE P_'I'I_ACTED


and no further. So, that is the 270-second ex-
posure on field 620. We didn't have time to get
the 90-second exposure done on 620 nor the
270-second exposure on 576. Well, I think that's
pretty good work for this time around. We'll get
a little clarification on the ground rules here
_. and then we'll press from there, and he wants me
now to set the rotation at zero, which I can do.
ROTATION to zero and the TILT to 358.3. Set to
13 turns inboard, l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
ll - There we are. It's in and LOCKED. Close
the SAL door, door close step 1 and 2. Per the
instruction, close and lock. Mirror is all the
way in, and we'll close the door. There it is.
It's closed and it's locked. Film lever we'll
put back to STOWAGE - as it says. And the
film HATCH is CLOSED, as it says. We've still
got a 7 showing on the counter.

216 21 40 39 CDR And we're going off of channel A, and this con-
cludes the message on S019 for Karl Henize.

216 21 48 28 CDR This is the CDR with Owen on the 171. Every-
thing's going along okay. I did - I recycled -

216 21 56 49 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack again. The sub-
Ject is S019 for Karl Henize. I ran a few timed
runs on his timing device on the AM - AMS, with
the following results. In the 270-second position,
it timed out, on the first run, at 200 seconds
and, on the second run, at 202 seconds versus 270.
In the 90-second position, it timed out at 72 sec-
onds and 69 seconds versus the 90 seconds. And
in 30-second position, it timed out at 26 seconds
and 26.5 seconds versus the 30 seconds.

216 21 57 h8 PLT This is Jack; the end of message.

216 22 03 39 CDR CDR, M092 - correction, 171 run Just finished with
SPT. Everything worked Just dandy. The only
thing that was different was the isolation was
zero after the run - same old story. And I've
copied down all the data on a card. If for some
reason, this data doesn't get through, we've got
it off the card and I can read it down.

_ 237 DAY217(AM)

217 00 07 09 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on cha=nel A with the report
on the PLT's run of M131-1. The OGI stuff should
all be on the experiment 1 tape recorder, and I
hope you get it all this time .... from the card
for a day or two, however, Just in case. One
comment, Jack noted this time and I noted on my
run a couple of days ago, and that is you get
awful sleepy underneath that set of goggles, and
you really tend to almost doze off. Jack had to
give a no response to a couple of answers today,
simply because he had forgotten that a response
was due, didn't know that I had tapped him. And
I remember having done the same thing on my run.
So Just staying awake is something of a problem
at - essentially Just sitting still with the
blindfold on. And then on the rotating chair
motion sensitivity test, even after being reminded
from the ground, I was late getting the experiment i
tape recorder turned on. However, you got lots of
good data, at any rate, because Jack went 150 head
movements at 20 rpmwith no symptoms. Let's see -
Okay, so Just talking about it, we've been thinking
of the possibility that all of our desensitization
/-- done in the trainer back in Houston, may have very
nicely desensitized us for vestibular - ... by
rotating - a rapid rotation and head motion that
wouldn't have much to do, necessarily, with zero-g
effects. So, I guess - -

217 00 09 05 PLT ...

217 00 09 07 SPT For some reason, Jack is essentially immune to that


today, even though he's not been up here all that
long. And we'll see how tests on - on myself go
a little later. Okay, that's it for 131-1 on the
PLT.

217 00 09 25 SPT Info, of course, goes to the biomed people, Jerry


Homlck - Homick in particular, and those con-
cerned with M131.

217 03 19 14 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack reporting the


outcome of housekeeping 70 Bravo. I guess this
would go to the EGIL. The circuit panel configu-
j ration checks. In the airlock module, all the
238

proper circuit breakers are closed and open,


except for panel 200. And everybody knovs the
MOL SIEVE B FANS, SECONDARY is also OPEN. And
on panel 202 - the I/LCA number 1 HEATER breaker
is OPEN, which everybody knew about. E_erything
is properly configured, circuit-breaker-wise of
the workshop as well, according to paragraph 2
of page 2-16, with the exception of panel 611.
Radiator section - the PRIMARY RADIATOR BYPASS
VALVE circuit breaker is OPt, and everybody knev
about that. So it looks like, circuit-breaker-
wise, we're all configured as everybody expects.

217 ii 46 01 CDR Hello. This is for the food people. Malcolm


Smith would be a likely candidate, along with
Rita. We got a friendly Rice Krispies this
Morning, and I filled them up with water. And ._
it's one of those spoon bowl packs, and the seal
never seems to take place in the area where it
should. So when you mix up your Rice Krispies,
instead of having - being able to cut along the
black line, you have to cut right near the top,
because the Rice Krispies is moved up past the
bast - bacle - black line. Now that's not new-
news because apparently it happened a lot on the
previous mission, but I thought I'd let you know
we seem to continue to have the problem here.

the normal prep. No, m_e this - we'll make check-
list changes first. Then we'll go through the
normal prep up to the point where we stop. Okay.
That'll kind of get us handling the gear and we'll
know what gear is already being used.

PLT Put the add-ons in.

217 16 29 25 CDR That's right. Because that's where we're going


to have to find other tethers and other this

of the money you're saving, Oven.

217 16 56 36 PLT Money he makes as a civilian.

SPT And I'm afraid to complain about the company


(Laughter).

PLT That 's true.

217 16 56 45 PLT And he's a company man.

CDR Wonder if he gets flight pay for this mission


or it's just that they're not risky enough for
him to get flight pay?

217 16 57 23 CDR It's getting down to about 25 percent of the


tape, Jack.

PLT That's Just about the end of tape, the way it's
been reading. It'll cut off about 22 or 21 -
something like that. That's ... data.

217 16 57 50 SPT Is that ..., Jack, think that's it.

PLT What did you say?

SPT ... Thought you were looking at the coast.

PLT No - -

SPT Okay.

217 16 58 Oh PLT As soon as I saw that road go in the ocean I


knew I was wrong.

217 16 58 52 CC Okay, the kid's with you for 4 minutes over


Vanguard. We're reading you loud and clear.

PLT Hello - -

CDR Okay, everything went Just perfect. One other


request for the EREP flight planners. If they
could put on the C&D pads, also write along in
the time line, the time when we should start
making the maneuver back. The VTS operator does
it, but this way that makes two of us watching
and you make three, Story. So we ought to
pull it off.

217 16 59 24 CC Okay, we've got it.

CDR Okay.

217 16 59 31 CDR You're right. We've used up almost all the


tape. It played out and is wobbling around
about 25 percent indicated, which I understand
is pretty near empty.

217 17 05 00 SPT Okay, here's a question going on chanuel A


RECORD for the ETC ops people - recording
these things and reporting them on magnetic
tape, Just like I've done here. I wonder if
it is necessary to be logging this in our film
data book every day. We also have a require-
ment to log it over there and it seems like
we're duplicating effort and we'd appreciate

saving this time so that we can only do it


one place or the other, and preferably on the
voice tape. If you can give us a co-,,ent either
by voice or on teleprinter, we'd appreciate it.

217 17 12 13 CDR This is the CDR on channel A. The subject is


EREP. We've used some of these swabs, both
the kind Pete brought up and the kind that were
launched up here, to clean the stacks and the
pinch rollers, et cetera, of the EREP tape
recorder, and none of these swabs are wet.
They're all Just dry as a bone. I shouldn't
say none. Every once in a while, you find a
_ wet one, but the vast majorityof them are
dry. You really need wet ones to clean it -
the instruments, and Jerry Carr and Ed and
Bill Pogue are going to have to bring up some
new ones.

up on orbit. Namely, that's a sharpening stone.
We've got various cutting implements up here,
which we use a lot, and we don't have any way to
sharpen them up, far as I know. Now I'm going

218 12 02 24 SPT Okay, this the SPT on channel A with recorded


information for the PI, Dr. James Frost, on M133.
Okay, Jim, I Just took the cap off for the third
night here, and I estimate I had Just about 6 hours
of falr-to-good sleep last night. I did wake up
for one interval of some length during the middle
of the night. About the only time I've done that
on the whole 9 nights, so far. Now also, it might
be worth noting that each morning that I have
awakened for the last 3 nights with this cap on,
I have awakened with a slight headache; not much,
but Just a little bit of a slight headache. No
particular area or anything like that involved,
but a - a very general, slight headache. Might
be associated with the electrodes. The cap -
wearing the cap is not particularly bothersome,
270

probably a little less bothersome than it is in


one g because you don't have to sleep on any of
the elec - any electrodes. And one other thing
I've noticed on each of the R nights so far, every
night that I have been up here, is that it -
within an hour to an hour and a half after going
to sleep, I wake up briefly. I don't know whether
that's the normal cycle of down through deep
sleep and back out again, which I guess, on the
order of an hour to an hour and a half. But it
does seem sort of surprising that it's so regular
on all 9 nights that after this 1 hour to hour and
a half, I wake up very briefly and then go back
to sleep.

218 12 04 13 SPT That's all the information I have relative to M133.

218 16 50 15 PLT Okay, the next thing to do is verify the cuff gage
is stable at 3.2 to 3.5, which we have done. Okay,
now note: In the next step, the cuff gage will
decrease and cycle before stabilizing - 5 psi.

218 16 50 36 PLT So we are going to go PRESSURE selector to REG 1.


And the BEG l, LOW FLOW light will go out. And
it is going to oscillate. Okay, so let's go to,
now, REG 1.

SPT Okay.

PLT She goes down at 2.9. Back up, 3.8, 3.35. REG l,
LOW FLOW is out. 3.75. Stable at 3.7.

there on the ground once before. It went off-
scale low below 2.5, now it's still oscillating.

218 16 51 25 SPT Then it is about stable at 3.8. And our friends


in the _NU world assure us this won't happen in
the vacuum. Doesn't oscillate that much.

SPT Hey, where are you?

SPT Okay. Excuse me. Yes.

PLT Yes. Okay, let's go to BOTH, and make sure nothing


changes.

PLT Okay.

218 16 53 21 SPT Still in 3.8.

PLT Okay. Nothing changed here. Now the _ integrity


check. Next sequence terminates 02 FLOW to the
suit. REG i, LOW FLOW and LOW VENT FLOW lights
will light. Monitor the cuff gage for maximum
decay of 0.8 psi in 1 minute. So I've got to
watch here.

218 16 53 49 PLT Okay, now we are going to go to OFF, Owen, on my


mark. Okay? Standby now. Your FLOW select,OFF
and then the PRESSURE select's OFF. Both have a
minute. Okay. Stand by.

notes. Cuff gage stable, 3.6 to 3•9; all lights
off. MODE SELECT to ABSOLUTE. Okay, now, we
want to select - SELECT, ABSOLUTE, as you say.
•.. We're going to get a tone, a SUIT PRESS at
3.1 to 2.8. It is.

218 16 56 ll PLT Okay now, Owen, you got the SUIT PRESS light, and
you're all down to - -

SPT Not quite down yet.

PLT ... suit.

PLT Okay, - -

218 16 56 28 SPT I think I got a SUIT PRESS light.

218 16 56 30 PLT That's all right. It's what you want. _-_

218 16 56 3h PLT Okay, we are going to notify A1 that the EMU


integrity check is complete, and he's going to
read all the procedures from here to deactivation
following the EVA ....

218 16 56 h6 CDR Okay, your V0X cut out for Just a moment, there.

PLT Okay, A1, we've completed the integrity check.

CDR Okay, have you turned off your squawk box right
near you? Can you put it in SLEEP?

PLT SLEEP.

218 16 56 59 CDR Okay, let's give it a go now. How do you hear me?

PLT Loud and clear.

i
CDR Okay, we are getting ready to close the 120 psi
REG B toggle valve•

PLT I guess we might as well.


218 16 57 19 CDR Do you hear me? Did you hear that?

SPT Yes, you are going to close the 120 psi. l'm not
quite sure why, but okay.

CDR It's the check. Okay, here it comes. Verify


pressure drop less than i0 psi. Can't even see
it drop. Okay, EVA-I and -2, LOW VENT FLOW light
off; verify.

218 16 57 42 PLT Affirmative.

SPT Verified.

CDR Okay. Toggle, OPEN. Now I'm going to go A, CLOSED.


Okay, no change in PRESS. LOW VENT FLOW light
still off down there.

218 16 57 57 PLT Affirmative.

CDR Okeydokey. Okay, EV-3, on panel 225; 120 psi


REG A toggle valve, OPEN. Proceed to AM. Enter
_ headfirst,EV-I.

218 16 58 12 SPT Okay, proceed to AM and enter head first. On the


way.

PLT Good for you, old buddy. That's it.

CDR I'm supposed to restow EV-1 LSU in sphere as EV-1


transfers to AM. That's my next big event, so I
will go do it. Stay loose; as you come up there,
I'll stow. Ought to be a good start. Now let me
see which one you got. You've got the one next
to the hatch, here.

218 16 58 4B SPT That's right. But it says for me to come in head


first, huh?

CDR Yes, since you're probably going to get down here


and get these things from me or something.

SPT Yes, I - probably have to put in the - VC tree.

CDR Yes. Hey, those stow a lot better than in one g.


I heard it was hard, but it's easy. Come on in.
It's a piece of cake.

218 16 59 02 SPT Wait until I get my umbilicals caught up.


282

CDR Okay.

218 16 59 i0 CDR Okay, a little bit more. Stay there, O. and I see

SPT Okay.

218 16 59 48 CDR Head first. Okay, restow_ I did. Okay, rotate r


to EVA egress position, feet towards MDA. That's
you, Big 0. Okay?

218 16 59 59 CDR EV-2, come on up for a visit.

PLT Okay. I'm coming up but I want to take a look at


how to get this hatch loose first. Incidentally,
I don't have any wrist tethers on. I guess I'm
not supposed to.

218 17 00 l0 CDR Not yet. We'll have you put them on. They're
right there on your panel. Your panel is to your
roll right. No, no, no. Your panel is to
roll left.

PLT ... come over here to unlock the top hatch, but
I Just did it. Okay, there's no tether up here
on this panel. Oh, there's one. I take it back.
Yes, there's one.

218 17 00 B3 CDR Okay, move to 0W hatch. Now, EV-B, m_nage EV-2 LSU.
Stow in aft compartment. Then I move to STS.
So Just stay right there. I'm going to give you
an assist.
_-_ 283

PLT Okay, Owen, I - You've got to keep - keep your ...


down on the hatch there.

218 17 00 48 SPT All right.

CDR You - Why don't you come down the other way for
a minute. There you go. So I get a hold of you
and get all this stuff stowed there. There you
go. Now when I come back, then you'll have to
move up.

PLT What are you going to do, Al?

218 17 O1 01 CDR I'm supposed to - I'll stow your stuff in this


aft compartment.

218 17 01 05 PLT Okay. You want me to get in first?

CDR I think I can put a little bit of it back in here.


Wait, is that yours?

PLT That 's it.


r_

CDR Okay. Put a little of yours back in there.

CDR All right, Pete [sic], that ought to be enough.

SPT No, he puts it all in. We're okay.

218 17 01 27 PLT You're not supposed to leave it in the aft com-


partment, are you?

CDR Some of it.

SPT He's got plenty, Just so he ...

PLT ...

CDR That's plenty. Okay, I'm going to move out of


the way and you come on in and bring your stuff
in with you, okay?

218 17 O1 B9 PLT Okay. I got the hatch loose now. That's some-
thing they didn't put in the checklist.

CDR Well, they are going to get to it.


2.84 --

218 17 01 48 PLT And, A1, there's a lock behind the - behind the
hatch, if I can get to it.

CDR Just wait a second. Cool off. We're not there.


I've got to read the next set of procedures.

218 17 01 57 PLT All right. Here I am.

CDR I got them for you in a minute.

218 17 02 04 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear through


Guam for 5 minutes.

CDR Okay. We're now getting into lock compartment.


Everything's going smooth.

218 17 02 13 CDR Okay, Jack. Would you care to inspect the hatch
seal for obstructions?

PLT Looks like we've got everything moved out of the


way here, A1.

CDR Okay, how does the hatch seal itself look?

PLT Well, I'm going to have to open the door here


and - -

CDR Okay.

PLT - - pull her down a little bit.

PLT ... good shape to me.

218 17 02 43 CDR Okay, then. HATCH HANDLE, OPEN. Verify.

218 17 02 48 CC Jack, we're reading you loud and clear through


Guam for 3 more minutes.

218 17 02 50 CDR Okay.

PLT The HATCH HANDLE is verified to be OPEN.

CDR Okay. Release OWS hatch from wall. Close hatch


while entering aft lock.

218 17 02 59 PLT The hatch is coming closed.


285

CDR Okay, when you get there, HATCH HANDLE to EQUAL-


IZE PRESSURE, after you get it closed. Then I'ii
read the rest.

PLT ...

218 17 03 l0 CDE Y'all look good in there. HATCH HANDLE to


EQUALIZE PRESSURE and then RELEASE HANDLE to
UNLOCK.

PLT Okay.

218 17 03 22 CDR Okay. HATCH HANDLE to CLOSE.

PLT No, I haven't got it to - up to EQUALIZE PRESSURE


yet.

218 17 03 27 CDR All right. It probably should have been there


when you looked at it. HATCH HANDLE to EQUAL-
IZE PRESSURE, RELEASE HANDLE to UNLOCK, then
HATCH HANDLE to CLOSE, and RELEASE HANDLE to LOCK.

PLT I can't get that handleto go up to -

218 17 0B 48 CDR Okay, try moving the other one and then you can
probably move it because they're interrelated.
But before you close it, have it in EQUALIZE
PRESSURE and UNLOCK.

218 17 04 05 PLT Okay, that's where we are. We're in EQUALIZE


PRESSURE and now it's in UNLOCK. There we are.
Okay.

218 17 04 i0 CDE That's good. Now close the thing. They need
HATCH HANDLE to CLOSE.

PLT It isn't closing.

CDE What's in the way? Maybe the hatch - maybe the


aft hatch to the - airlock. I can't see -

218 17 04 30 PLT No, no, that's not in the way. The dogs are -
are - are you sure we're supposed to have the -
handle in EQUALIZE *** before we close it?

CDR Well, maybe not. It says HATCH HANDLE, OPEN.

218 17 04 44 PLT It won't work that way because the dogs are hitting
,_ on the edge when you do it that way.
286 ....

218 17 Oh 48 CDR Okay, let's try it again. Put the HATCH HANDLE
at OPEN.

218 17 04 53 PLT Okay, it's at OPEN.

CDR Okay. How do the dogs look now?

218 17 04 57 PLT Now the dogs are down flush.

CDR Perfect. Close hatch while entering the aft lock.


You got it?

PLT Yes.

218 17 05 06 CDR Now, HATCH HANDLE to EQUALIZE PRESSURE.

218 17 05 22 CC Skylab, we're 30 seconds to LOS. We'll see you


over Goldstone in 17 minutes. That's at 17:23.
All systems are looking good and you're GO for
depres s.

CDR Okay, under -

PLT ... going.

CDR Okay, Story, understand; thanks.

218 17 05 40 CC And while I got you, A1. You might be coming to


page 6.2-12 over Goldstone.

CDR Okay, understand; 6.2-12.

CDR Yes, it's a long way off at the moment. Okay.


How you doing, Jack?

218 17 06 12 PLT I'm not having much luck with this hatch here, A1.

CDR Okay, now let - let's go back and work on it for


a second. Let me read it to you again. HATCH
HANDLE should be OPEN.

PLT That 's where it is. It 's OPEN.

218 17 06 26 CDR Okay. Now where's the - Is the other one in


EQUALIZE PRESSURE? How many positions has it got?

218 17 06 30 PLT Oh, there's - there's one handle that has OPEN,
EQUALIZE PRESSURE, and CLOSE. Okay?
_ 287

CDR Okay. Now why can't you close it? Because the
dogs are hitting or because the aft MD - the aft
lock hatch is bumping it?

PLT Well, when you get the hatch closed and you try -
dog it over the -

218 17 06 49 CDR Well, did you Just go to HATCH HANDLE, EQUALIZE


PRESSURE when you closed it? And then let me tell
you what to do next?

SPT You need me to hold your feet down, Jack?

PLT Yes. Well, no. Just leave them loose for a minute.

SPT All right.

CDR Close the hatch.

PLT Okay, the hatch is closed.

218 17 07 05 CDR Now put the HATCH HANDLE to EQUALIZE PRESSURE. Can
you do that?

PLT That's the part I haven't been able to do.

CDR Okay. Well, let's wait a m_uute. Let's Just go


over to post EV-1 and see what you do. Just hold
on and we'll see how you open it, and we'll get
in - in that place.

218 17 07 27 PLT Yes, I'm trying to - see how they work here.

CC We're here - ... fine.

CDR I don't hear him too great.

218 17 07 52 CDR Okay, Just a second now, Jack. Okay, now this
says to go to RELEASE HANDLE, UNLOCK and HATCH
HANDLE to EQUALIZE PRESS.

218 17 08 06 PLT Is that before you - Do you do that before you


close the hatch or after?

CDR No, wait a minute. Okay. When - when you came


up to the hatch, it should have been in RELEASE
HANDLE, UNLOCK; and HATCH HANDLE, OPEN. Now if
you can get it there, we can start from there.
288 ----

2-18 17 08 19 PLT Okay, it's in UNLOCK and OPEN.

218 17 08 21 CDR Okay, now leave it right there. Now, let me give
you the next step.

CDR 0., verify that the HATCH HANDLE is OPEN.

218 17 08 35 SPT Okay, it's verified OPEN.

CDR Now, close the hatch.

SPT Okay. Hatch is closed.

218 17 08 h2 CDR Okay. Now, HATCH HANDLE to EQUALIZE PRESSURE.

PLT Th - that was the problem. The - the RET._ASE


HANDLE was not in the UNLOCK position.

218 17 08 50 CDR All right. Are you now in EQUALIZE PRESSURE?

PLT Yes, sir.

CDR How about the RET._ASE HANDLE, UNLOCK?

218 17 08 56 PLT There it goes to UNLOCK now.

CDR Okay. HATCH HANDLE to CLOSE.

218 17 09 00 PLT Okay, it goes to CLOSE. There it is.

218 17 09 03 CDR RELEASE HANDLE to LOCK.

218 17 09 05 PLT It's in LOCK.

CDR Okay. Everything's going okay.

PLT Okeydokey.

218 17 09 l0 CDR Okay. Assume EVA egress position, feet toward


MDA. Okay, 0., I'm going to unstow the VC tree
and pass it to you handle first.

SPT Okay. But it looks like I'm going to have to turn


around a little bit to receive it.
289

CDR Yes, not much. Here it comes, ready or not.


I

218 17 09 B9 SPT I am, though.

we go. See where we are at the moment. Can you
hold these ... VC tree. Now, here's what I'm
going to do. I'm going to release forward hatch,
pressure equalization valve cap, stowed; verify.
I'll Just check that and then - pressur - PRESSURE
EQUALIZATION VALVE, OPEN. Inspect hatch seal for
obstructions. CLOSE HATCH HANDLE, mud HATCH
HANDLE, CLOSED. Will do. Okay, that 's in
work.

SPT Notice our foot restraints, there; bouncing around.

CDR Yes.

218 17 ii 00 CDR Okay, I'm looking at this seal, gang, and I like
the way it looks. I've seldom seen a better seal.
Okay, this baby's going closed.

PLT I think it may be the foot restraints at the


bottom down there.

218 17 ll 24 CDR No, it's one of these little clips up here. It's
a little snap stowage clip. I Just fixed it.
Everything's copacetic.

SPT Jack, we didn't review that procedure for -


changing that cap cover on the depress valve.

PLT I know how to do it.

218 17 ll 57 CDR Okay, let me tell you. I'll review it for you.
You see the cap there?

218 17 12 00 SPT No, I can't see it now. I saw it a minute ago.

time.
_ 297

CDR That's a good place.

CDR That's a good change that they put in.

SPT ... doesn't go down very fast, does it?

218 17 22 02 CDR No, it doesn't because - that's because your

the valve. That's why the screen is there.

SPT Right.

PLT Cuff gage is normal.

SPT Mine is also; 3.8.

218 17 22 36 CDR Okay, the LOCK and AFT compartments show a mere
2.7 psi. How much ice is covering the screen
now, gentlemen?

SPT Oh, it's about the same. It's not increasing


much, and I did Just flick a little bit of it
off with my finger. Doesn't seem to be building
up much more now.

CDR It's slowly decreasing, gang. It's down to


about 2.6 now. It takes a little while. Monitor
FORWARD PRESS, 4.8 to 5.2. OWS is 5.2; FORWARD,
5.2. FORWARD is a little high.
SPT Hmm. Oh, well.

CDR That's because we built it up while you were in


the lock.

218 17 23 21 CDR Okay, your pressure in there is about 2.2. It's


still going down. That's a small hole and you're
making it up pretty fast.

218 17 23 48 CDR Gang, to keep you informed, the orbital workshop's


at a mere 5.1. We're at 5.3 in here and you're
down at 1.8. Everything is going right.

PLT Okay. That's what our gage reads, also.

CDR Don't go to sleep now. This will give you a


good chance to rest.

218 17 24 41 PLT The ice builds up in the middle of the screen


and the edge around it remains free.

SPT Looks like it's because of the conductivity


near the - near the outer screen edge. r_

PLT Must be it, 0.

SPT Uh huh.

218 17 24 56 CC Skylab, we've got you AOS, stateside for


13 minutes. We're seeing the airlock
depressurizing. All systems are looking good.

CDR Right.

218 17 25 lh CDR We've got a little cap with a screen over it over
our depressurization valve now, Story, in order
to catch this ice, and it's working very nicely.
It's about half covered with ice, little ice
crystals and Jack and I were just talking about
it. It looks like the ice forms principally -
in fact, it does form principally in the center
one-half area and the outer half area remains
without ice crystals. We presume due to the
greater conductivity due to the valve on the
out ***

CC Okay, good observation. Sounds like they got a


good fix.
J_ 29_

218 17 25 59 CDR I wonder why we get that feedback sometimes?

PLT I bet you're *** VOX all the time.

CDR I get the ***

PLT *** Story, you might let him know so he can


adjust it.

218 17 26 31 CC You are cutting out ; both of you.

CDR Okay. Let me up the sensitivity. Let me check


and make sure the pressure is going right. Okay,
we show in the lock compartment, Story, about 0.7;
in the workshop we show about 5.2, and in the

MDA we're showing about 5.3. I'm going to go


adjust the V0X right now a little bit better.
That's panel 9, correct?

SPY There you go.

218 17 27 03 CDR Okay, try this, Owen, and see how the sensitivity
is.

SPY Okay, testing: l, 2, 3, 4, 5. 5, h, 3 ***


Bring it up. There it is. l, 2, 3, 4, 5.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. l, 2, 3, 4, 5. That sounds
about right to me, A1.

218 17 27 21 PLT A1, you got all those speaker boxes turned on in
there?

CDR Yes, I've got them turned to SLEEP, but they


still squeak.

CDR There we go. We get them. We got them. Couldn't


see anything in the workshop, and there's no
mike open down there.

CDR Everything's copacetic. Okay, how's your press?

SPY About a half.

218 17 27 53 CDR Okay. Let me read you a little note. When it's
about 0.15, remove the screen and complete depress.

SPT 0kay.
3QQ

CDR Well, I take that back. It says monitor


PRESS LOCK to approximately 0.15 psi, and then
it says remove screen when press stabilizes,
about 0.3; so that means you're probably about
ready to remove the screen right now.

218 17 28 24 SPT Yes, I think so. It's pretty stable right in


here. Wouldn't you say, Jack?

PLT Yes, it's been hanging in there for a long time.

CDR Okay, why don't you remove it?

PLT Okay, we'll give that a try.

SPT There it is. You got it off.

218 17 28 37 CDR Coming right down over the Salt Lake City area.
I'll be darned.

CC Skylab, it sounds like we're getting all your


calls at this time.

218 17 28 4h CDR Okay, I readjusted the VOX.

218 17 28 54 SPT Did you see that ...

218 17 28 56 CDR I readjusted the V0X there.

218 17 29 15 CDR Is - is this 0.15? So that's about it. Okay.


Start watch for beginning of EVA. I'll do that,
gang.

CC ..., A1, the next 9 minutes prior to LOS, like


to meet you on page 6.2-12.

218 17 29 30 CDR Okay. I got to go there, Just a minute.


Don't you guys do anything - go anywhere.
6.2-12, he wants me to do something. Write
something down, no doubt. 6.2-12 - I'm going
to be there - Just a second. 6.2-6, 6.2-13,
6.2-12.

218 17 29 56 CDR Okay, go ahead. I'm there, Story.

218 17 30 00 CC Okay. We've looked at the various EVA trails,


and the best time for Jack to take a look at
_-_ 3Q1

that power transfer distribution box that we


have a problem with and we're ss_ing that when
he goes out to the dog bone to tie down the
reefing lines - his reefing line - that that's
an excellent place for him to take a look at
that distribution box in quad Bravo. So, if
you'd put in that checklist - there right above
where he attaches his reefing line, if he'd look
beyond the CMG, to the next bay on the rack,
that big box in there is the power distribution
box where we had the short the other day.

218 17 30 33 CDR Okay, what I'ii do is write it in right under -


under the - Just as soon as he finishes tying
in the reefing line - because he's got them in
his hands, he ain't holding on so good - then
I'ii say, "Look beyond" - Give me those words
again and I'ii write them down exactly.

218 17 30 50 CC That's look beyond the bay that the CMG is in -


in the - bay over - and it'll be the power
transfer - transfer distribution box. It's a
_ greatbig box in that next bay on the rack.

218 17 31 02 PLT Okay, we looked up the drawings and we know


right where it is, Story.

CDR Great, and we got the drawings in the MDA. So,


we'll be able to do it. Okay, we're going to go
back to where we were.

218 17 31 12 CC Roger; and have him take a look at that quad


Bravo at the same place. Looks like a good
place.

CDR Tell him okay. Say -

PLT Okay. Okay.

PLT Test: i, 2, i, 2 (blowing).

218 17 31 28 CDR Okay, gang. Back to work. EVA hatch retainer


spring loaded to engaged position; verify.
302 .....

SPT Okay, it is loaded to engaged.

CDR Hatch handle lock to UNLOCK, and hatch handle,


OPEN.

SPT It did on the end of the hatch.

218 17 31 58 SPT Starting open.

CDR Okay. Verify the hatch handle is f_l]y clock-


wise as you do this.

SPT Okay, now. I've got it fully clockwise.

CDR Okay, that's good.

PLT That - get that latch retainer.

CDR Okay, open hatch. Engage hold-open rod.

218 17 32 23 PLT-EVA There, he's got her open. Attaboy, 0.

CDR 0kay. __

SPT-EVA You can't keep down an Okie.

CDR Here you go. MODE SELECT to ABSOLb'.'_.

SPT-EVA Just a minute. I got to get that retainer rod.

CDR All right. Let me know when you're ready to go


next. I'll see where we are over the ground, if
I can.

PLT-EVA The - There ain't any safety divers out there, 0.

SPT-EVA That 's good.

218 17 32 46 CDR Coming up on the coast, gentlemen. Not sure


where, though.

CDR Where are we over the ground right now, Story? i

CC Say again, Al?

CDR What coast are we crossing?


303

I CC That's about Laredo, Texas, and looks like you'll


be coming up into the Gulf.

218 17 33 ll SPT-EVA What the heck. Doesn't want to go quite open


far enough to get this retainer rod in.

CDR Well, Just work on it a while, I guess.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Maybe you can kind of get sideways and put


your back against - Attaboy. Now you're doing
it.

218 17 33 30 SPT-EVA It's in. Okay, you want to go to ABSOLUTE, Al?

CDR You bet. Go to ABSOLUTE, and there's a possible


cuff gage decrease.

218 17 33 41 SPT-EVA You're right; dropped from about 3.9 down to


3.6.

CDR Okay. Everybody


happy?

PLT-EVA Yes, mine's down to 3.5, now.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA This thing is still retained at - yes.

CDR PRESSURE select to BOTH.

218 17 33 53 MS-EVA BOTH.

CDR And FLOW select to EVA NORM.

218 17 33 58 PLT-EVA EVA NORM.

218 17 33 59 SPT-EVA And EVA NORM.

CDR A]] lights off, and cuff gage sta - stable


3.6 to 3.9.

218 17 3h 06 SPT-EVA Stable 3.6

PLT-EVA And the kid is stable here at 3.6 now. I like


that.
3Q_

CDR Okay. I'm monitoring the radiation now, and it


looks good.

SPT-EVA It's pretty out here, incidentally. Hey, it's


beautiful, as a matter of fact.

218 17 34 21 CDR 6.2-1.

SPT-EVA Gosh, what a view.

PLT-EVA If you'd only get out the way, I could look.

SPT-EVA Jus - Just a minute and I'll be out, Jack.

CDR Egress A - egress AM, head first, EV-I, and


ingress VF restraints - with the left hand on
F - -

218 17 34 40 CC CDR, Houston. We've got a couple circuit breakers


we need open on panel 200.

CDR You give them, I'll open them.

CC Okay. INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM TRANSMITYERS ;


B circuit breaker OPEN and C circuit breaker
OPEN.

PLT-EVA Let me give you a little rope, there, Owen.

SPT-EVA ...

CDR Okay, let's open them both.

218 17 35 00 PLT-EVA There they are.

CDR What's the reason for that?

CC Thank you.

oR Why?
218 17 35 ll PLT-EVA Ah, what a view'

CDR What 'd we do that for, Story?

218 17 35 14 CC That's because our recorder is full, and we can't


dump it.

CDR Thank
you. _
305

PLT-EVA Well, we got the big O. out there in the foot


restraints, A1.

218 17 35 23 CDR Do you think he'll clamp his own LSU at 9 feet?

PLT-EVA I don't know. I'll see if he will. Will you do


that, 0.?

SPT-EVA As soon as I get back here.

PLT-EVA Nine feet's back here somewhere. I don't think


you'll get it to 9.

218 17 35 37 PLT-EVA Whoops: There's 9 feet right there.

218 17 35 50 SPT-EVA Cut off there.

PLT-EVA No cut-off.

SPT-EVA That's the way in the water (laughter).

218 17 35 53 PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Can't see the bubbles.

218 17 35 56 PLT-EVA Okay, he's got it clamped, A1.

CDR Okay, (>wen. Panel 321. SUN END BOOM, extend


approximately 6 inches. Verify that the VS boom
and unlock boca hook.

SPT-EVA Okay, the SUN END extended 6 inches. The hook


is folded.

218 17 36 23 CDR Panel 321, SUN END BOOM fully RETRACTED, but you
want to do it Almost fully RETRACTED.

SPT-EVA *** next.

CDR Okay. Jack, extend the male end tether to max


length and pass the two rod stowage plates to
EV-1, female end first.

218 17 36 _ SPT-EVA You don't set the other boca, huh?

CDR No.

SPT-EVA Okay.
3Q6

CDR Not for this one, babe.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay. I 'm working on that, A1.

CDR Okay. How's your tethers working today?

218 17 B6 57 PLT-EVA Tethers? (Laughter) I knew you were going to


say that.

CDR Headed right down in Mexico. You can see from


coast to coast.

PLT-EVA Okay, the male end tether there is the way we


like it, and I'm going to turn to that beauty
before we do anything with it.

218 17 37 17 CDR Okay. Owen, when you get them, you can stow
them under the F-4 handrail - -

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR - - (cough) handrail, male end towards the ATM.


Attach the female end tether to F-5 handrail.

PLT-EVA ***

CDR All right?

218 17 37 37 PLT-EVA I believe that guy's in there eating lunch, and


we're out here working.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR You're right. I'm having peanut butter and


crackers.

SPT-EVA Taught to not talk when he was eating.

218 17 37 49 CC Skylab, we're B0 seconds to LOS. We'll see you


over the Vanguard in ll minutes. And for your
information, although we 're only getting real-
time TV over the States, we will be recording
TV on the ground at the other stations.

218 17 38 01 CDR Okay. We'll be putting the TV out before too


long, Story.
F_

i 307

CC Thank you, sir.

CDR Things are going smoothly.

218 17 38 46 SPT-EVA Okay. I got that hooked Just now. I hooked it


at the other end. Now I got to get it over.

218 17 38 56 CDR Boy, y'all are really taking a nice walk over
Mexico. Get - We're getting all ready to pass
by the Panama Canals [sic] in a minute, I believe.
It's hard for me to tell. That was it. We
passed it.

SPT-EVA Most of it's on the other side of the spacecraft


frc_ us though. I can't see it too well.

CDR Well, I can turn it around if you like.

SPT-EVA Suits me. Might check with Houston first.

218 17 39 18 CDR Aah, they'd probably say no. You know them.

_ PLT-EVA I can see two sets of quads right here. Not the
B - A and D, I should say - Alfa Delta.

CDR Yes, that's the one you see. How things going
out there?

218 17 39 34 PLT-EVA Well, trying to get the - all these rods out from
under our umbilicals and stuff. Still be a second.

218 17 39 41 CDR Okay. Anything we got's time.

218 17 40 01 PLT-EVA Okay, 0., here's a - rods don't want to be


attached to the other end of them, though, it
turns out. I'll attach them up here, temporarily.
Can't get aws_. *** this here. Come down to
this end.

218 17 40 42 PLT-EVA And you want the female end, don't you?

SPT-EVA Yes, I might as well take that one; that's it.

CDR Okay, Let me say the words.

PLT-EVA Okay, now wait a minute, because -

218 17 40 56 CDR Pass the two rod stowage plates to EV-1, female
"_ endfirst.
3e8

PLT-EVA That's - that's the end he's getting. Now wait


a minute, 0.

CDR Both of them together, hooked together.

PLT-EVA Couple of these elastics got - right where we don't


like them.

218 17 41 l0 CDR Okay, work on them in there. It's lot easier when
both of you can work. That's good.

PLT-EVA Yes, I got one of them taken care of.

CDR Y'all sound good in there.

218 17 hi 32 PLT-EVA Okay, now there's the other one. I - The thing is
tethered to the spacecraft good, 0., so let me
hook up to it.

SPT-EVA Well, I've got it tethered out here now.

PLT-EVA You got it hooked on you, okay.

218 17 41 41 SPT-EVA Got it hooked to F-5 and locked. Just a minute.


Make sure it's locked.

PLT-EVA Okay, if you'll Just pull them back and put them
wherever you want to, I'll u_dhook it from the
sp ace c raft.

218 17 42 03 SPT-EVA May have to unhook it. It turns out I may have -

PLT-EVA Okay, I tell you what. You unhook yours; I got


mine hooked.

SPT-EVA Okay, I - I may be able to make it all right ...

CDR On the checklist, you have to take it out, put


it under there, and then hook it.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA It's hooked onto the spacecraft.

218 17 42 h8 PLT-EVA Good hook, isn't it? Good hook.

SPR-EVA Boy' Son of a gun' It Just fit. I--


/ 309

PLT-EVA (Laughter).

218 17 43 07 SPT-EVA Okay. It's free again.

SPT-EVA Okay, now you take that end there.

PLT-EVA Okay, I got to go back and get m_ foot restraint.

SPT-EVA Okay?

218 17 43 36 CDR Okay, let me read this thing to you again. Pass
the two rod stowage plates to EV-1, female end
first.

SPT-EVA There you go.

218 17 43 45 CDR Stow rod stowage plates under F-4 handrail, _-le
end toward the ATM. Then attach female end
tether to F-5 handrail.

PLT-EVA Okay, now you still got it tethered to you, right?

SPT-EVA Yes, I got it hooked to me.

218 17 43 59 CDR I like his attitude. There's the good Earth down
there, gang.

PLT-EVA Let me help you here, O.

218 17 4h ll CDR Does it look like the EVA lights are on out there,
0.?

SPT-EVA Just a minute; I'll have to wait.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Far forward as I can get them now. Can you get the
tether hooked? O., let me have that tether. I
think I can hook it up.

218 17 44 37 SPT-EVA Got to get it under - further underneath that -


bar. **N go any further under your arm. That's
the problem, isn't it?

218 17 hh h7 PLT-EVA Yes. There, we got it tethered to there. Now


I'm going to unhook me.

._- SPT-EVA Can you reach?


310_

PLT-EVA Okay, very good.

CDR Every - ready for next step?

SPT-EVA Not yet.

PLT-EVA Let me Just slide them under here.

218 17 45 07 CDR Okay, maybe Jack can look out and see if he thinks
the EVA lights - -

PLT-EVA Just a minute, Just a minute.

SPT-EVA Very carefully.

CDR Okay. No hurry.

PLT-EVA Visor down.

SPT-EVA Yes.

218 17 h5 21 PLT-EVA Ahh, EVA lights, huh? Well, I see one out there,
but I can'ttell whetherit's on. _

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA The one I see did not look on, but it's - maybe
it's Just too bright.

218 17 45 30 CDR All right, we'll find out what happens. They may
get us over Vanguard and we'll ask them. Okay.
You ready for the next one?

PLT-EVA Go.

218 17 h5 36 CDR Okay, pass sail bag to EV-I. And, EV-I, hook sail
bag to F-7 handrail, which is near the VC tree
receptacle.

PLT-EVA Got it in my hand.

CDR Good head. We're passing right over the South


American Jungles, gentlemen. My suspicion is
we're somewhere in Ecuador. Yes, we are. No,
no, we're over the Andes - not over the Andes,
into Bolivia, yet. Kind of pretty out there.
Now we're c_ng over the Andes. There's that
big glacier we saw the other day.
218 17 46 27 PLT-EVA There; I got it tethered to me, 0. Now you
tether it to you.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Way to go'

PLT-EVA The other string on there would be all right, I


Eues s.

CDR Boy, there's sc_e big rivers down there. Fantastic'

218 17 46 43 CDR Let me see if I can see you all, any possible way.
I don't think there's any way I can see you.

CDR Looks pretty bright.

PLT-EVA There you got her, 0. Let me get loose.

SPT-EVA Okay, come loose.

218 17 47 04 PLT-EVA I'm loose.

CDR That a way to work. Loose as a goose.

PLT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA What's next, A1; base plate?

CDR Okay, let me give it to you.

218 17 47 14 CDR The sail bag is next; you did it. Next comes:
Pass base plate to EV-1. Attach base plate to
clothesline clip - there's the tricky one - on
the F-6 handrail by use of the base plate tether.
You copy, EV-l?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Okay.

218 17 47 35 PLT-EVA The base plate tether, huh?

CDR That's the one that you got to hook through the
wi re.

PLT-EVA Am I cutting out? I think I was.

f PLT-EVA Got to leave the tether on that one, huh?


312 f-_

2/8 17 47 50 CDR Yes. You put your tether on - and - on the thing,
then take that one off. He puts his tether on it;
you take your tether off and he hooks it on; then
he takes his tether off.

PLT-EVA So we hook it on with the tether that's on the


base plate.

CDR You bet.

218 17 48 14 PLT-EVA Okay, I - 0., I got it hooked to me. And where


does he hook it now?

SPT-EVA Right up there onto this - handrail, where the


clothesline clip is.

CDR He Just hooks his tether to the same place you


got your tether and then you disconnect your
tether and then he -

218 17 h8 28 PLT-EVA I just to want to make sure this little loop he's
got is satisfactory for the place he's going to
putit.

CDR That's a good idea, Jack.

PLT-EVA I think it is.

218 17 h8 40 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear over the
Vanguard for 9 minutes.

PLT-EVA Got your ... out of your foot restraints.

CDR Well, they've taken out the two poles so far; they
took out the sail bag; they're in the midst of
taking out the ... plates.

PLT-EVA Hey, 0. ?

CC Copy, A1.

CDR Everything's going smooth.

SPT-EVA Okay ....

218 17 h8 58 CC And your systems are looking good.

CDR Thank you.


F 313

PLT-EVA (Laughter) l've got tethers all over. Ain't no


way for anything to get away (laughter).

CDR That's great. That's the way it's got to be,

PLT-EVA I think that little red thing is next, I believe.

218 17 49 29 CDR May I read you what's next? Whenever you're ready.

PLT-EVA Speak.

CDR Always Just ask if l'm - There's no way I can


really know exactly whether you're ahead or behind.
Pass two clothesline assemblies to EV-I, one at
a time, red one first.

PLT-EVA Okay, he gets the red one and we leave the


tethers inside on this one - ...

CDR Had it right, but you tether to it and all that.

218 17 49 50 SPT-EVA Got it tethered to me.


I

PLT-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA It's Just -

PLT-EVA Going to ask about those EVA lights, A1. I ...


them.

CDR That's right, I will.

218 17 50 17 CDR Houston, we were wondering if the EVA lights


were on now.

CC Stand by i.

CDR They were kind of looking at them. I asked them


to look at them out there and they said they
didn't look on at the momen%, but it's so bright
out there, it might be hard to see.

218 17 50 41 PLT-EVA Let me stabilize it for you, 0. There you go.


You unhitched from her?

SPT-EVA Can't quite reach it.

PLT-EVA Attaboy.
F
314 --"

PLT-EVA Okay, I'm u-hitched from it. You put that there,
and I go get the green one. That's way back in
the corner here.

CDR I hear you knocking but you can't c_ne in.

PLT-EVA Don't want to; don't want to, my friend.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Got the green one hooked to me.

CDR Excellent.

218 17 51 h7 CC A1, we got no way of telling down here whether


your EVA lights are on or not. They should be
turned on according to the checklist. We did
check them out yesterday, because they do run
through that power transfer distribution box.
We've got no way of telling down here whether
they are on or not.

CDR You all cnmmanded them on, though, earlier or what?

218 17 52 0h PLT-EVA 0., that thing is going to be upside down when


you - Does that matter to you?

CDR We got it switched, but we didn't know whether


you commanded them or not.

PLT-EVA I think I'd better - change it.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Hey, Jack.

218 17 52 22 CC It's going to be pretty obvious to you a11 in


about 14 minutes whether they're on or not. And
that's a switch that you throw in the airlock.
So Owen could get in there and do it if you don't
have them on.

CDR Okay, we'll Just check it. We Just wanted to be


ready.

SPT-EVA 0keydoke.

CDR Next time you're in, Jack, take a look at the


switch for EVA lights. Make sure they are on. _-_
SPT-EVA You say they are all off?

PLT-EVA No, they' re all on, A1.

218 17 53 i0 CDR Okay, Jack. That's Just how it ought to be.


Because it's going to get dark in a few minutes.
And I'm ready to tell you next whenever you're
ready.

PLT-EVA A1, we're rearranging samething here a little bit.

CDR Okay, no strain, plenty of time. And, no doubt,


Owen had stowed those things samewhere.

SPT-EVA Too much confidence in it; we're working on it.

218 17 53 35 CDR Place the two clothesline assemblies on the temp


stow hook with the green one closest to EV-1.
Lock the hook.

218 17 53 57 SPT-EVA Attaboy.

PLT-EVA O., we've got her - locked. Not going to work out
_ right, 0.

CDR Just follow this checklist.

PLT-EVA Particularly the one on the bottom, A1.

218 17 54 36 CDR Pass two clothesline assemblies to EVA [sic],


one at a time.

SPT-EVA Still backwards ?

218 17 54 40 CDR Red one first. He puts on the red one, and then
the green one, and then the green one ends up
closest to him.

PLT-EVA That's not going to work for me. You know the
problem? •

CDR What?

218 17 54 52 PLT-EVA This hook is oriented differently than the one


in the water - in the trainers - 180 out. So
it's going to wind up with a red one on top. So
what we've got to do is put the green one on first,
I think, O.
/
316 _"

SPT-EVAWell,let'ssee- -

CDR You better be careful of that. This thing is


supposed to be Just like it - it may Just look
di fferent.

PLT-EVA Well, we're going to wind up with the red one on


the top at the moment.

218 17 55 15 CDR Okay, now, Just a minute. Let's - that may be


okay - let me look a little bit further on where
it starts talking about which one you connect.
And I think you wanted the red one. Okay, attach
sail bag, fold boom out of the way. Now, open
green clothesline pouch, retrieve an extension.

PLT-EVA No. The green one's going to be on the bottom.

CDR Yes, He wants the green one first.

PLT-EVA I remember that ho - hook in the trainer, O. ; I


think it's oriented 180 different.

CDR Okay.

218 17 55 h3 PLT-EVA Let's - you tether to that one and then I'll give
you this one.

SPT-EVA Okay, if you've got that one right there, I


wonder if you can't Just put it on, while I'm
www the red one tethered to me.

PLT-EVA Yes, I think we can.

SPT-EVA Um-hmm.

PLT-EVA It'll save about ... intermediate transfers.

CDE Sure would. That's a good idea. I'm going to


tell them down in Houston -about that hook being
different. I can't imagine it.

218 17 56 06 PLT-EVA It makes it hard to get the things on, too, because
you got to get them - squash them against the -
... the way of getting it on the hook.

CDR Okay. These are the correct ...

SPT-EVA Get that button for me there? _-_


/_ 317

PLT-EVA Okay. [['hebutton 's down.

SPT-EVA Very good.

PLT-EVA Okay. Very well. Now, we want this to go on here


Just like this.

218 17 56 41 PLT-EVA Okay, that one's on here, Owen. I'm going to


h_ng onto it while you put the other one on.

CDR There you go.

CC CDR, Houston.

PLT-EVA Other way, other way.

CDR Go ahead.

218 17 57 l0 CC Okay, We'd like you to close the two circuit


breakers that you opened up before at panel 200 - -

PLT-EVA ...

SPT-EVA Right there?

PLT-EVA Yes.

CC INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEN_, TRANSMI_'fERS Bravo and


Charlie, CLOSED.

218 17 57 23 CDR Okay, CLOSED.

CC Thank you.

218 17 57 29 CDR If you've been listening, apparently the hook on


the outside of this hatch is reversed - -

PLT-EVA There we go.

SPT-EVA Is it locked?

CDR - - from the one in the EVA water tank. So we


probably want to pass that word on to Huntsville
so they can change it in the tank, so Jerry Carr
and his crew will have it correct.

218 17 57 45 PLT-EVA The open part is facing down toward the fabric
around the FAS instead of up toward the hatch.
Okay, here we are, A1. We're sitting here with
the green one on top and the red one on the
bottom.
318

CDR And you got it locked.

218 17 58 00 PLT-EVA Got it - the hook is locked, and the ropes are
pointing out forward, so they are going to be
easily visible when he picks them up.

CDR Okay, unfold the boom hook, 0wen.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 17 58 ll CDR Pass the foot restraints to EV-1, Jack.

PLT-EVA All right.

218 17 58 16 CC Skylab, we're 30 seconds to LOS. We'll be seeing


you in 1 hour and 5 minutes over Goldstone at
19:03.

CDR Okay, install the foot restraints on the VS boom.


Use foot - -

PLT-EVA Stop' Hold on.

CDR Okay.

218 17 58 32 CC And as we go over the hill here, we'll be getting


live TV over Goldstone and like a verification
the EVA lights are on.

218 17 58 40 SPT-EVA They're on.

CDR They are on.

218 17 58 43 CC Thank you.

218 17 58 49 CDR Install the foot restraints on the VS boom - I'm


Just t_Iking now. Use foot restraint stanchion
for attachment point.

PLT-EVA Okay, O. I've got it tethered to me and I'm


handing it to you.

218 17 59 17 CDR Radiation survey meter. Okay, gang, I'm going to


take one.

PLT-EVA Okay, 11nhook it, O.

SPT-EVA Okay. You got it.


31_

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Taking a little radiation survey here, Houston.

SPT-EVA Thanks, A1.

218 17 59 37 CDR Okay. Radiation. Next, to you. I'm going to


tell you to attach that foot restraint to the VS
boom. Use foot restraint stanchion for attachment
point.

SPT-EVA Ccmplete.

CDR Okay, let me turn the page. We're getting through


there. Okay, now for a little TV. Connect TV
power cable to panel 320.

218 18 00 00 PLT-EVA Okay, l'm working on that.

CDR Okay, let me know when you're finished and I'ii


read on.

CDR Okay, radiation in here looks like it's about 0.i.


That would be 0.001 rads per hour, according to
this survey meter.

PLT-EVA What's that?

CDR 0.001.

PLT-EVA Just about the way it ... in here.

CDR 0kay.

218 18 00 25 PLT-EVA TV is hooked up.

218 18 00 26 CDR Okay. Verify F/S to FC.

218 18 00 B1 PLT-EVA Let me get up there and look at that.

PLT-EVA Okay, it's in FC.

CDR Place TV on F-8 handrail, 6 inches from bottom;


lock towards hatch. May I tell you the X, Y, and
Z also? X, 60; Y, 180; Z, S15. So here it is,
60, 180, 315.

218 18 01 20 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to have to doodle with this for
f- a minute.
218 18 01 39 PLT-EVA 60.

218 18 02 27 CDR I take this to other places in the MDA. For


example, if I take it down towards the co_nand
module, I get a rads per hour of 0.002.

PLT-EVA You say 60, 180, and 315?

CDR That's what I said, Jack.

218 18 02 47 PLT-EVA 60. Make one little note of something. We, some-
how, got slipped up on here. It's not hurting
yet, but I think we ought to correct it on the
way out.

CDR What?

PLT-EVA Now down here on the male end, you remember there
are two little dog leash clips that were clipped
together with a single long wrist tether? Somehow
that wrist tether is in the red position; it's
not green. And one of the dog leashes has come -
have come loose. Now there's a - the wrist _-
tether is still attached to the other of the two
rod sections, but we'd ought to hook it back up
properly as we go out.

CDR That's a good idea. Good eyeball.

218 18 03 27 PLT-EVA And reverify that the other end is hooked to


both dog leashes, and we have a green button, so
nothing can get away.

218 18 03 33 CDR All right.

218 18 03 35 PLT-EVA Okay, I got a 60, 180, and 315, Al.

CDR Okay. In that case, you need to plant it out


there at the place it's called for, 6 inches
from the end.

PLT-EVA Six inches from the end of what, now?

PLT-EVA Six inches from the end of the - Let me get it.

PLT-EVA You want me to verify those settings? I can


do it right now.

CDR Six inches from the bottom of the F-8 handrail,


which is right outside the door.
" 321

PLT-EVA Six - okay. It's in the Sun now.

CDR It's going to be dark soon.

218 18 04 14 PLT-EVA Okay, I got it there and it's locked.

CDR Locked towards hatch?

PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR 60, 180, 315. Both crewmen verify TV is not


looking at Sun.

218 18 0h 24 PLT-EVA It's not.

CDR It's not. TV field of view is 22 degrees about


lens centerline. Sun should not be in this field
of view.

PLT-EVA It does not appear to be; although, it's hard to


estimate ... degrees.

CDR I know it.

218 18 04 34 CDR TV POWER, 322 [sic], ON. It's 22 degrees, not


half of it.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR TV POWER, 320, 0N, Jack.

218 18 04 43 PLT-EVA That's ON.

218 18 04 44 CDR Okay, now verify the following. AVERAGE switch


to AVERAGE.

218 18 04 50 SPT-EVA Okay, I can verify that concurrently.

322 _-""

CDR FOCUS, 15 •

SPT-EVA This is going to have to be moved a little. Okay.

CDR Now EV-1, slowly move F/S lever to 22 while EV-2


observes monitor. If Sun is fe - in field of
view, _mmediately go to FC again.

SPT-EVA Okay, here I come to 22.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay, it's all blotted out; go back.

CDR Okay. Reposition as best you can.

218 18 05 31 PLT-EVA Well, I had a good picture of the ATM there for
a while and I - Let's don't - pull in; I'll tell
you when it's good, O. Push it back where it was.

SPT-EVA ... it at all?

CDR It should go to 22 as the max opening, but not


there if it's -

PLT-EVA All right.

PLT-EVA What it did do was it showed me a picture of the


ATM and it bloomed out.

SPT-EVA I bet you caught me when I was like that. Is that


what you had? ...

PLT-EVA Unshade the lens, if you can.

218 18 06 09 SPT-EVA Okay. *** shade the lens.

PLT-EVA Coming in good. How do you like that?

CDR It's getting dark out.

PLT-EVA That's why it's getting good, d_,,-,,_y.

CDR That's right. Why don't you take it and shove


that thing - Let's see if you can see anything at
night out there.

PLT-EVA Going to have to open it up, O.

CDR Open it up a little bit and see if you can see


anything at night.

8PT-EVA I'll wait until the Sun goes down.

CDR All right.

8PT-EVA Okay, now I'm going to open it up.

a little bit.

CDR Fifteen feet.

SPT-EVA ... sitting, Jack.

CDR ZOOM, 25; FOCUS, 15.

PLT-EVA Okay, the ZOOM is probably 25.

CDR I don't know. When the Sun starts to come up,


we're going to have to do something about this
thing.

SPT-EVA I don't want to leave it set here in this open


position because there's nobody to look at it, _
anyway, and we're Just going to get a blast from
the St_u.

218 18 07 52 CDR Take it - take it back to CLOSE. When we hear


somebody call us, we'll open it - maybe.

PLT-EVA ... better- -

SPT-EVA Was the picture - was the picture centered on


about the right spot, Jack?

PLT-EVA It appeared to be pretty good; yes.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Okay, you ready to start?

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 18 08 l0 CDR Exit the AM, EV-2, and retrieve the long tether on
the male end of the rod stowage plate and fasten
to F-1 handrail.

218 18 08 20 PLT-EVA Okay, I can do that as soon as 0. gets all


situated here.
325.

CDR I said - I meant put it under F-1 handrail and


fasten to F-lO handrail; take up slack. Remember,
that's the one that may need to have another lock
on it.

PLT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA You can come, 0.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 18 08 38 PLT-EVA Camera on your right. Careful of the TV. Bumping

now, I guess. Trying to hook -

PLT-EVA Okay, Now I put this under -

CDR Under F-I.

SPT-EVA Well, that's where you need to hook that other


dog clip in, if you can.

PLT-EVA Huh?

SPT-EVA See that dog clip that's come loose? The other
end of the tether you've got should have had both
of those rods connected to it - bundles. It's
only connected to one of the rod bundles. The
dog leash is loose on the end by your left elbow.

PLT-EVA Oh, yes; so it is.

218 18 09 17 SPT-EVA And it is also not green_ it's in the red, on


that button.

PLT-EVA H0w'd that happen?

PLT-EVA Well, we'll Just fix that, 0. It's all fastened

PLT-EVA Okay, and hook it to F-l, you said; didn't I -


didn't you, Al?

218 18 l0 07 CDR Yes. Hook - Go under that handrail and go to


F-I. That'sa - That'sa fact.

PLT-EVA That's where I am; now I take up the slack.

SPT-EVA That 's right.

CDR Okay. That 's the F-10, not F-1. Under F-1, fasten
to F-10.

PLT-EVA That 's where it is.

CDR I thought so, there's only one way.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Take up the slack. Okay, now translate to double


handrail work station, Jack.

PLT-EVA Okay, watch and make sure I go the right way here,
O.

SPT-EVA Okay, let's see. Here's what it - Get on this

think, first. Like it wa_ made for me.

CDR Okay. It was.

PLT-EVA There, we got a half of Moon down there.

CDR Great, Jack.

PLT-EVA Umbilical is clipped right there. Are you going


to need any more room than that?

now.

CDR Going to have to get closer to him.

PLT-EVA I'll bring it down a little bit, O.

to me.

218 18 13 40 CDR Bring her back, O.

218 18 13 41 SPT-EVA Okay, I forgot to raise m_ gold visor. It sure

for the next event?

SPT-EVA Bet it 's coming back.

PLT-EVA Tell me about the next event.

218 18 13 59 CDR I will in a second. Clamp EV-2 LSU at approx -


appropriate lengths, but give him sc_e slack after
he gets the - Give him some slack until he gets
into the foot restraints, then clamp his LSU,
okay?

218 18 14 17 SPT-EVA Okay, it's clsmped now.

CDR Okay, make sure he's got plenty of slack so he


doesn't get pulled on.

CDR How's the red flange doing, Jack?

PLT-EVA Oh, boy. Have we got it in there. I'm going to


take a look at it, though, and check.

CDR Take a look at the bottom of it. Owen's not - not


giving you any slack.

PLT-EVA I 'm going to have to have a little more rope.

218 18 14 37 SPT-EVA Okay. I'll give you a11 the rope you need. Have
same more.

CDR Okay, he's giving it to you.

PLT-EVA Have this thing out before we get another AOS.

CDR I doubt that.

218 18 l_ 51 PLT-EVA Okay, I looked under there; the ... cllp wedge is
firmly seated.

218 18 14 56 CDR Okay, gang, get in the old foot restraints. And,
Owen, clamp the umbilical.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 18 15 19 CDR All right. Clamp umbilical.

CDR Good idea. Are you ready for the next one?

PLT-EVA I think we probably are.

218 18 15 33 CDR All right. May I give you the ...? Transfer -

warning lights and SUIT PRESS, both of you.

SPT-EVA I'm holding at 3.6 and no lights.

PLT-EVA No lights and 3.6.

CDR Okay. Owen, transfer the rod base plate to EV-2


with the SUN END BOOM, being careful not to put
it on something that'll slide off.

SPT-EVA Okay. It 's coming in a moment.

218 18 16 01 CDR Tether it to you, then to there and everything else.

218 18 16 05 PLT-EVA I'm tethering before you run the boom out, O.

218 18 16 08 SPT-EVA Take you ... (laughter).

218 18 16 ll PLT-EVA That'd be a surprise, wouldn't it? Here comes O.


on the end of the boom.

SPT-EVA And I can't reach the stop button (laughter).

CDR His feet are in the foot restraints.


330

SPT-EVA Now there's a - You'd like to have this tether down


there with you, wouldn't you, Jack? There's a

CDR No: Just follow the checklist.

SPT-EVA Okay, well, where do I leave the tether, you see?

218 18 16 32 CDR Let me see what it says.

SPT-EVA I think that's what I meant, A1.

CDR Okay. Let me tell you what it says.

PLT-EVA Tether would be in the way down here.

218 18 16 40 CDR Transfer rod base plate to EV-2 with SUN END BOOM.

SPT-EVA Where would you like to have me leave the tether?


Let me word it that way.

CDR I didn't think there was one on it. Remove and


install right - rod base plate to A-frame and
lock with clips.

PLT-EVA Leave the tether on it, 0. ; I'll take it.

CDR Leave the tether on it, I guess. Although it


shouldn't have been on there.

218 18 16 59 SPT-EVA Well, it came out with it, A1.

218 18 17 01 PLT-EVA It had to be on there in order to hook it to some-


thing, A1.

218 18 17 03 SPT-EVA That's right.

CDR Okay. It doesn't say. My correction; it should


say. Just send it down there.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now what I'm going to do - -

CDR Hook it on to that pole, too.

SPT-EVA - - is hook it through this - loop here, A1 - Jack.

218 18 17 19 CDR Clamp - clamp the base plate to - clamp the hook
to the base plate good and then tether it there,
too.

SPT-EVA Nobody needs two tethers. Does he?

218 18 17 28 CDR No.

218 18 17 29 PLT-EVA They'll just get in the way and flop around. Hang
your arms up and stuff.

CDR You're relaxing out there, I can tell.

PLT-EVA 0h, yes.

SPT-EVA Nice view of the night sky (laughter).

PLT-EVA That's all there is, is night sky.

CDR Could be looking down at the Earth, actually. But


you probably can't see around.

218 18 17 48 PLT-EVA I don't know. If I am, l've got a - We've gone


an awful long ways from it. It looks like a
half a Moon to me.

218 18 17 56 SPT-EVA Okay. Now there's nothing that I can attach that
tether to that will - be of any help in holding
it on.

218 18 18 01 CDR Okay. So maybe, then, leave the tether where you
are.

PLT-EVA Yes, that's right, Owen. Just hook it to something


there, and we'll take it in the lock after while.

218 18 18 16 SPT-EVA If that should come loose from this thing, then
the end of that knob will never go through that
hole.

PLT-EVA That - -

SPT-EVA Absolutely locked on.

CDR Okay.

218 18 18 58 SPT-EVA Okay. You ready for the big fling? _-_
333

PLT-EVA Fire it down here, m_ friend.

2_18 18 19 21 SPT-EVA Cc_ing. Want to let it float out of the way of


that - -

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA - just right.

218 18 19 26 CDR Good thinking.

218 18 19 28 PLT-EVA Okay. Stop it right there a minute, O. What I


want to do is get m_ _nbilical around my back.
It's come out underneath me.

218 18 19 45 CDR It's around your back already. It's over your
left shoulder behind your - -

218 18 19 48 PLT-EVA I want it to go under my left arm.

SPT-EVA It is under your left arm.

CDR It is under your left arm.

218 18 19 52 PLT-EVA My right arm, I'm sorry.

218 18 19 53 SPT-EVA Your other left arm. Ha, ha!

CDR Hey, Owen.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Why don't you get that plate and hook it on - -

SPT-EVA I agree.

CDR - - and then fool with it.

SPT-EVA Can you do that, Jack?

PLT-EVA I can probably reach it, yes.

SPT-EVA I'll bring it on down to you. I think it's going


to be right where you want it.

218 18 20 04 CDR Yes. Your _nbilical is Just perfect, Jack. It


isn't going to stay any other place. Unless
you want - -
PLT-EVA It will be in m_ way when I assemble the pole.

CDR Okay, well, he's going to have to give you some


slack.

PLT-EVA Whoa.

218 18 20 15 PLT-EVA Now I'll find me a good place to hook this thing.
Good place is in the tether ring.

SPT-EVA That 's right.

218 18 20 27 SPT-EVA Looks like you need more t_nbilical.

PLT-EVA Yes, I do.

218 18 20 31 SPT-EVA Have some more.

PLT-EVA Oh, that 's much better.

218 18 20 39 CDR Now he can lean back. That's what was happening;
he was trying to lean back and it hit him. Yes,
it looks like you've got excessive, but it looks p_
like that's what it's going to take.

218 18 20 59 PLT-EVA Okay, I've got that in the green.

CDR Okay.

218 18 21 03 PLT-EVA Lock that lock, squeeze the ..., and out she comes.

SPT-EVA You see how that could never come off, don't you,
Jack ?

PLT-EVA Yes. Take it away, O.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 18 21 20 CDR Don't hold it by the tether.

SPT-EVA Got it with m_ left hand, here.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Okay, now.

218 18 21 52 CDR Okay, Owen, while you're waiting, let me tell you
what to do. While you're waiting, you can take
and - Okay, attach sail bag hook to base of boo_ _-_
hook and transfer to EV-2.
33.5

SPT-EVA Hook to base of boom hook.

CDR Yes!

SPT-EVA Hook to boom hook.

CDR Well, let me read what it says again.

218 18 22 24 CDR Attach sail bag hook to base of boom hook.

218 18 22 30 SPT-EVA Base of boom hook.

218 18 22 31 CDR And transfer to EV-2. I get the impression you're


- you're hooking the sail bag hook to the base of
the boom hook in some way, making sure that the
boom hook doesn't come off.

218 18 22 43 SPT-EVA That step I do not remember.

218 18 22 45 CDR I Just read it, though. That's how you're going
to get the sail bag down there, I guess. But maybe
there's another way, 0. All I can guess is, that's
the only thing that can hook to it. You Just - -

SPT-EVA I think that 's right.

CDR And you Just have to be careful that you don't pull
off the - the - the hook itself, because the
boom hooks come off. Looks like it needs to be
pulled towards you, Jack, that knob, and then
tightened. That's getting it; that's good. You
might want to tighten the other a little.

PLT-EVA That one is standard - -

218 18 23 37 CDR ... Excellent.

PLT-EVA It's in all right.

CDR That 's great. Good deal, Jack.

CDR How's it look on that bag now, E - Owen? Does that


look reasonable?

SPT-EVA I think so.

218 18 23 52 CDR Okay.


3B6

218 18 2h 01 CDR Tighten them down real tight and then put in the
clips - tight as possible. Maybe not tight as
possible ; they might break.

PLT-EVA Yes, there's a- J_nut that it goes up against.

218 18 2_ 12 CDR Yes, and then you got those old clips.

218 18 24 15 PLT-EVA Yes, that was ... as ... Hook this right here.
That one's hooked.

CDR Perfect.

PLT-EVA Bingo. Don't go anywhere.

CDR Don't go nowhere is right. That's good, Jack.

218 18 24 44 PLT-EVA That one -that one's hooked.

CDR Okay.

218 18 24 46 PLT-EVA Tightened down, and I get the hook in here ...
That one's done. Now I'm going to untether myself.

CDR Okay.

CDR Okay, you're going to get the sail bag in a


minute. Let me tell you what to do with it. When
you get the sa - sail bag, remove and attach bag
to base plate, by tether hook on bottom of bag,
to eye of bottom of base plate. Pretty straight-
forward, I'd say.

SPT-EVA Any time you're ready for it, Jack.

218 18 25 28 PLT-EVA Well, let's fire it away, here, O.

SPT-EVA Okay. Here comes the big blivet.

PLT-EVA Big blivet.

PLT-EVA C_ne here, tether; you're mine. That a boy!

SPT-EVA Looks good. If that hook doesn't come off, we're


in good business.

218 18 25 58 PLT-EVA Okay, hold her, O. Attaboy. You're all right with
that boom, you know that?
P_ 337

218 18 26 01 SPT-EVA Okay. I got it tethered to that - -

PLT-EVA ... a little.

SPT-EVA - - ... closer to you?

PLT-EVA Won't go no place.

SPT-EVA Want it a little closer to you?

218 18 26 09 PLT-EVA Nope, might stick me.

218 18 26 40 PLT-EVA ... it down?

CDR You're pulling it - down on the bag with your right


hand, which makes it hard - There you go. Now
you got some slack.

CDR How'd you do it ?

SPT-EVA ... the hook off of there.

218 18 26 52 SPT-EVA Okay, now you have to - it won't loc - it will


f- not come off the roundpart.

PLT-EVA Okay, that ... - -

SPT-EVA You have to slide it down until there's - -

PLT-EVA - - ... the ... part here.

SPT-EVA Yes, until there's - that sort of elliptical cross


section.

CDR That a way, 0wey. That's a boy.

PLT-EVA You got her, 0. Take here away.

218 18 27 08 CDR Okay, mount on plate on eye and lock. Double


lock because that thlng's going to be getting
kicked around there.

218 18 27 19 SPT-EVA Okay, that's locked, and I can't squeeze the


handle.

CDR Is the handle not - is it lock - locked on there?

SPT-EVA Yes, it's lock-locked.


338

CDR Okay.
q

218 18 27 35 $PT-EVA It's - I unhitched myself from that. And there it


is.

218 18 27 41 CDR Okay, Jack, you're in the pole business. Here you
are, Owen.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'm waiting.

PLT-EVA What do you want to do?

CDR Okay, Just a second. Okay, retract boom and fold


hook out of the way.

SPT-EVA Get the - Jack's umbilical - -

218 18 28 05 PLT-EVA Yes, why don't you take it in a little bit now.
I got it around my back and under my right arm
the way I want it.

CDR Let's see how he wants it.

218 18 28 12 PLT-EVA That way, when I make the pole, I can put it down
here without having to go underneath the tether
and all that.

218 18 28 17 CDR Not a bad idea.

CDR Okay. Open green clothesline pouch, retrieve - -

SPT-EVA Wait a minute; I got to retie his tether.

CDR A]] right.

218 18 28 29 SPT-EVA Now is that - Tell me what length you like, Jack.
More or less or what?

PLT-EVA That's about right, right there.

218 18 29 01 PLT-EVA A1, you know what happened on that - parasol?


i
CDR What?

PLT-EVA That one corner where it's sticking up -

CDR Yes.
_-_ 339

218 18 29 09 PLT-EVA The pole did not extend Ali the way.

218 18 29 11 CDR And it made the line slack, didn't it?

PLT-EVA It made the line slack, yes.

CDR Yes. That's it.

SPT-EVA Okay, I think you said something about "take the


green bag."

218 18 29 19 CDR Take the green clothesline pouch, retrieve an


extension rod from rod stowage plate, and attach
the green end ring of the clothesline to the
male end of the rod.

SPT-EVA It' s in work.

CDR Okay, baby.

CDR Position grommets as rods are assembled. In other


words, screw down tight and then assemble.

218 18 29 58 CDR Easy on the bag.

CDR Were you able to lock that other nut, Jack? I


saw you do one on the left.

218 18 30 14 PLT-EVA Yes, I got it locked all the way down - -

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA - - as far as it'll go, and the clip is in.

CDR Sounds good.

PLT-EVA It's not going no place.

CDR Shouldn't go no place.

218 18 30 21 PLT-EVA ... come out that way.

218 18 30 27 CDR You going to have to use the poles to pass that
down, do you suppose, or what? Or is it Just
going to come down because it's soft cloth.

PLT-EVA I think it's going to come down when we lower


away.
340

218 18 30 36 CDR Okay.

218 18 30 37 SPT-EVA Well, I'll tell you; don't lock the grommet right
there. I'll tell you why. Grommets slide along
this platform.

CDR They unroll as you pull them out?

SPT-EVA They unroll ; that 's right.

218 18 30 58 CDR Did you lose one, or Just about?

SPT-EVA Just about. I haven't lost it yet.

CDR Great. Don't lose them. We gotta have a grommet


for every one.

218 18 31 09 PLT-EVA Now the big thing, 0., is to keep that line so
that it doesn't get twisted around the pole.

SPT-EVA The thing right now is these grommets, Jack.

218 18 31 14 CDR I'll tell you what you need to do, Owen. Just
reach down, and, when you pull the plate out,
break the bungees - -

SPT-EVA No, Just - Just hold it.

218 18 31 21 CDR Okay. Because those bungees aren't any good. You
can Just reach down and break them. That way
you don't have to slide it along those rollers.

218 18 31 35 PLT-EVA I see them. Why don't you Just float over there
and put all the grommets - on where they can't
slide off?

CDR That would be a good idea. That would be a smA_ter


idea. Float over and put the grommets so they
can't come off.

218 18 32 03 SPT-EVA Boy! I was going to break the elastic, and I


can't do that either, without first - -

PLT-EVA Pretty strong, huh?

218 18 32 07 SPT-EVA Uh-hmm. I could do it but I - -


218 18 32 i0 CDR No, it'll tire you out. Maybe O. - maybe Jack's
idea is best. Float down there and move the
little ro - rings where they don't come off.

218 18 32 Bl SPT-EVA When these gro_nets are rolled over that end,
they're pretty difficult to get back up on top
of that locking ring.

218 18 33 17 PET-EVA Looks to me out here like every area that's -

CDR Jack, why don't you float back up there and see
if you can give Owen a hand?

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA I think it's Just going to take a couple more ...

CDR Okay. We don't want to lose any of them, and he


might be able to help.

218 18 33 51 SPT-EVA Twenty-one of those to get -

_ CDR You perfectthe technique?

SPT-EVA No, not really, yet.

SPT-EVA ... those, then -

SPT-EVA First rod is mated to this loop. Therefore, there's


nothing else that can get loose.

CDR HopefUlly.

SPT-EVA Tied together now, I think.

PLT-EVA Say, I can see some lightning on the horizon off


to my left. It's really booming. Oh, boy.

SPT-EVA Grommet is in it. Now I want to stop and think


about -

218 18 35 23 CDR Got any ideas that can help him there, Jack?

218 18 35 29 PLT-EVA What - I - I'm not exactly sure what he's trying
to do. But let me go up there and take a look.

SPT-EVA Whoops.
_3h2 _"

218 18 35 40 C_R Now there's a good idea. Because you might be


able to go up there and assist b_$m in some way
by holding him or pushing him out the little rods
from the other end or something.

CDR There you go, Jack.

218 18 36 06 PLT-EVA Okay, my friend, what's the matter?

SPT-EVA Well, I got the next one without any problem.


And I think maybe if I Just slide them carefully
the - the - rubber grommet will not fall off.

PLT-EVA Well, all of the - on this ... side, all of the


elastics are outboard to the grommets ex - -

SPT-EVA That 's right.

PLT-EVA Except for one of them. It's on the bottom here.

SPT-EVA Yes, now that one slipped through.

218 18 B6 4B SPT-EVA I'm inclined to think we ought to Just press on


with me being real careful - not to drag that
grommet along the base plate.

218 18 B6 58 CDR If you can do it, that'd be the way to do it.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Now are the grommets in pos - the best position


they can be on the nut?

PLT-EVA Yes. They're there where they ought to be on all


of them. Well, some of them slipped off the nut
and are down behind.

CDR Maybe that 's a better place for them.

218 18 B7 15 PLT-EVA Might be. What do you think, 0.?

218 18 37 16 SPT-EVA No, I don't think they'd ought to be - What


are we t_Iking about?

PLT-EVA Some of them slipped between the nut and the


grnmmet.
3_

SPT-EVA You talking about the elastic bands?

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 18 37 27 SPT-EVA No, they'd ought to be out of that little


channel there because I can't hardly get them
out if they are. You see, you have to get
them out by your fingers. Those elastic
bands had ought to be up on that circular
piece. So you're working on Just that one
that I 'm not going to use, anyway.

PLT-EVA All right. Well, then, *** one that you are
going to use.

SPT-EVA They' re mostly all that way. If you see any


that aren't, I would appreciate getting them -
lifted out.

218 18 38 19 CDR Getting ready to have some sunrise. I can


see the horizon back there behind you.

_ PLT-EVA Right. Hey, that's - They're really caught


in there when they're like that.

SPT-EVA They are.

PLT-EVA That ... break.

218 18 38 38 SPT-EVA No, you - It's sort of funny to think that you
can't pop the elastic but -

218 18 38 43 CDR It's real tough elastic. I guess we had so


many complaints of them breaking that they
put on something really tough.

218 18 39 07 PLT-EVA I think this Job is going to give us all the


EVA time we want ... before we get this one
finished.

218 18 39 16 SPT-EVA I can't get that one that's screwed up there.

218 18 39 20 PLT-EVA H-_! Wish I had a little tool to stick under


it.

SPT-EVA I had to get them with _ fingers up here.


Because every one of those that come out, the
elasticdropsintothat slot.
PLT-EVA Oh, yes.

SPT-EVA Now the only way that would be avoided is if


those nuts are screwed up tightly.

PLT-EVA No, that still won't do. Let me see.

218 18 39 42 SPT-EVA Yes, if those nuts screwed up tightly, then


it won't do that. Are all those nuts screwed
up against the -

CDR Should be; should be in there tight.

PLT-EVA Put that last one there with the other.

218 18 h0 38 PLT-EVA Same nuts look like they are, but I got one
down here at the - It's not down in the slot,
but it's - Just behind the edge of the nut.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh. Couldn't get it out?

PLT-EVA No, there 's a couple underneath like that,


too.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Well, might Just have to -

218 18 40 56 CDE I'll tell you what you could do. You could
work along - Well, maybe you ought to try to
break those three right there now, and use
those first in same way.

SPT-EVA No, I'd rather wait until the end.

218 18 hl 06 CDR Okay.

218 18 41 07 SPT-EVA Because then I won't have to be bouncing around


the whole array and, possibly, get them -
others of them knocked around.

CDR That's a good idea.

PLT-EVA You want me to go back out there, 0.?

218 18 hl 19 SPT-EVA Yes, I think so. Another rod or two mud


I'll be down to you. I've - two connected
now. Ready to start the third.
_ 3h5

218 18 42 14 CDR Sun's coming up!

• PLT-EVA Boy! She really comes on.

CDR You may want to put down your visors, gentlemen.

PLT-EVA Sun comes on, it really comes on!

! CDR The TV's still at f/22, isn't it?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Okay. Good.

SPT-EVA Well, I think I closed it .... it's at FC - -

CDR - - closed. That's a good place for it.

218 18 42 43 CDR Have much trouble looking out there towards -


Jack, Owen?

SPT-EVA No.

CDR Good.

SPT-EVA (Sigh)

CDR How's it coming, Owen?

218 18 43 02 SPT-EVA Got the third one out of the rack. The hard
part, so far, has been getting them out of the
rack.

218 18 43 05 CDR Okay. Just don't - don't - get careless.


We got plenty of time. Rest if you need it.

218 18 43 33 SPT-EVA Okay, there's the splice right at the end.


I can see this one-winged bird.

218 18 43 36 CDR How's it look to you?

SPT-EVA Mighty nice. How fat's the pole from you,


Jack?

PLT-EVA Oh, about 3 feet. Oopl Getting closer.


Stick it down ... against the ... Don't
hit me in the head with it.

/-
.3_6

SPT-EVA Okay, ... Okay - -

PLT-EVA Hold it right there. I got her now. Wait a


minute. Unsnarl these lines here.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Now was that under my left arm, A1, that we decided
in the checklist to do it7

218 18 44 15 CDR Let me see what it says. We'll do it exactly


like it says, which says here. As soon as rod
is long enough to be reached, assist in stabiliza-
tion mud management. Keep the clothesline
separated by inserting arm between the lines.

PLT-EVA Hold it there, 0., we got to - -

SPT-EVA I've got it.

PLT-EVA - - separate them - sc_ehow.

PLT-EVA ... remember, can we work with it under - going f-


under my left arm, 0., or--

218 18 45 09 SPT-EVA I think it's under your left arm.

PLT-EVA - -was it above?

SPT-EVA I think it's under your left arm.

218 18 45 13 PLT-EVA Was it like that?

218 18 45 14 SPT-EVA No, no, under your left arm.

PLT-EVA Well, the trouble is with keeping this line floated


up.

CDR Keep the clothesline separated by inserting arm


between the lines. My guess is the rod would
be above your arm; otherwise, it's going to be a
little difficult to pitch it arotmd and - -

PLT-EVA Yes !
3_?_
f
l

CDR - - put it up there.


r
218 18 45 31 SPT-EVA The way we did it before, in order to have a - a
line that I could mate the other end with, he put
it under his left arm.

CDR Sounds like a good way to do it, then. Because


you're right; if he doesn't hold it right, you
can't - you can't get in the place to mate them.
That 's a fact

218 18 45 54 PLT-EVA I'm turning, 0.

SPT-EVA 0kay, ...

218 18 46 04 PLT-EVA Just like that.

218 18 46 05 SPT-EVA Just like that.

SPT-EVA Like to - What I'd - what I'd like to do is hold


the pole and - Like this. You - you Just feed
it through - ... of my hands. Can you hold it?

_ PLT-EVAYes.

SPT-EVA Okay, you've got the pole, now.

218 18 46 57 PLT-EVA Three down, eight to go, O.

218 18 46 59 SPT-EVA I've never seen such tight elastic.

218 18 47 09 PLT-EVA Hey, we got a scissors in there; we could cut


the - cut the one elastic off. That might be
the best idea.

CDR Sure could.

SPT-EVA Don't do it yet.

218 18 47 19 CDR If you go in the lock compartment, get the scissors


out of that thing, swing out. It might be hard
to get the scissors in there, but you could
probably do it. Trouble is, you'd have to keep
coming back. And then holding the scissors with
no tether would be interesting, too.
3_8

SPT-EVA That elastic Just does not break.

218 18 47 54 CDR Well, it's Just going to have to take time,


I guess.

PLT-EVA Okay, can we get the pole up here, now?


Have to get it closer to me. I can bring
you out, O.

SPT-EVA Okay, hold it from rotating.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 18 48 38 SPT-EVA What do - Difficult angle.

PLT-EVA What's it - 0., is it - What's it doing?

SPT-EVA Well, I Just got through making it. But -


I keep hitting the other end of the rod
up on the airlock hatch trying to get
it straight.

218 18 49 02 SPT-EVA That's right. That's the - that's the reason


Jack's got to have it Just in the right position
on him - or you can't mate the pole.

218 18 49 09 SPT-EVA That's right.

218 18 49 ii CDR So he's got to have it pulled close to


him enough, plus at the right angle.

218 18 49 25 PLT-EVA Okay, you can push it through my hand.

218 18 49 36 PLT-EVA I have to feed a little rod out through


the - ... the rod.

218 18 49 46 PLT-EVA Careful now. Easy. That's St.

218 18 50 02 PLT-EVA In a minute.

218 18 50 15 PLT-EVA Oh-oh, let's not get too much line out
here.

SPT-EVA I'm not letting any out, any extra.

218 18 50 22 PLT-EVA Okay, I want the two dots facing me all


the time.
_-. 3_,9,

CDR Good idea, Jack. Never let the thing rotate.

218 18 51 43 SPT-EVA When you try to twist them out, it rotates that
locknut - as it drops into the slot.

PLT-EVA Whewl Okay, I'm going to have to stop a minute.

CDR That's good; take it easy. How many you got


assembled?

SPT-EVA Four.

CDR Four assembled, good. That's - that's okay.

PLT-EVA *** the fourth one; I've only got three.

CDR That's one - that's 20 percent of them.

218 18 52 25 PLT-EVA No, we got three of them.

CDR Three of them assembled, okay. Most important,


we don't drop the little things - gro,_ets.

_ 218 18 53 16 SPT-EVA There's the angle I would like to use. I


guess there's - Can you push it forward
toward me? I've got to have that rotated
a bit because the alignment mark - 180 degrees.
The alig_nent marks are not visible to me at that
roll angle, Jack - the slot that I put the key
down into.

218 18 53 42 SPT-EVA Read me?

218 18 53 _3 PLT-EVA l'm reading you. Where do you want them, right
there ?

SPT-EVA Pole 's straight now.

PLT-EVA Pole is not going in straight, O.

218 18 53 59 SPT-EVA No, I know it.

PLT-EVA Down to you. Bring it down towards your


feet.
350

8PT-EVA I can't press down in this - in this ...,


see?

218 18 54 06 PLT-EVA 0kay. Can you put it up above the hatch?


Put the pole up above the hatch?

218 18 54 ll SPT-EVA I'm going to try. I'm also going to try


getting out of my shoes and standing ***
bottom of the FAS. And make myself -

PLT-EVA I can angle like that if you want to


put it above the hatch.

SPT-EVA All right, let's - -

PLT-EVA Seems like that's how you had all the


luck before.

SPT-EVA All right, I'll try it.

218 18 5h 56 PLT-EVA Straight up there like that. Can you reach


that? ---

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Let the pole - -

SPT-EVA *** large angle between the pole.

PLT-EVA Put the - -

SPT-EVA *** the hatch ... over in here.

PLT-EVA You've got to - you got it ... some wires


on that - Right straight back there, now. ***

218 18 55 41 PLT-EVA Okay, take her down a little bit.

218 18 56 08 PLT-EVA Okay, attaboy. There's another one.

PLT-EVA Now slide her very slowly and gently so it doesn't


rotate. Past me. No rotation. Okay, right
there.
_ 351

SI_-E_'A Okay.

218 18 56 35 CDR 0kay, 0wen, why don't you take a little break
on that and kind of float up and see if you
can open that camera to 22 and see if it bothers
the lens. And then let's Just leave it open
this day pass.

SPT-EVA Okay. I can't tell by looking at it. I have to


open it and then come back and look because - -

CDR Okay. Well, open it to 22 and then come back


and look. This is all we can do.

SPT-EVA We know what 22 did to it last time.

CDR What?

218 18 57 01 SPT-EVA We know what 22 did to it last time.

PLT-EVA Open it less.

SPT-EVA I did.

CDR Open it less. Okay? Whatever you think.

218 18 57 21 SPT-EVA Don't think it's too bright. What did it look
like before, Jack? Too bright?

PLT-EVA Yes, it bloomed out.

SPT-EVA Okay, I don't think it's doing that. I'll Just


open it a smidgen more then.

CDR Sun's not in the field of view, huh?

218 18 57 39 PLT-EVA No, I don't think it is, A1. It's pointing down
- at my feet.

CDR Good. If it 's pointing at your feet, it 'll


probably include you and - well, include 22
degrees - half angle.

218 18 58 06 CDR Been doing this work over - Let's see, it's now
- 12:16 - it's now 19:00. That's - and then
19:16 would be 7 hours and 6 hours, 45 minutes.
You've been doing your work across Thailand and
352

Chana, Korea; and now you're coming into -Well,


they said G-_, but I don't see it.

218 18 58 41 PLT-EVA Okay. Where's the U.S. pass going to cross?


Coming up?

218 18 58 45 CDR It's not going to cross. It's going to cross


offshore. It's going to cross offshore of L.A.
and around through there.

218 18 59 03 CDR How's the TV look, 0.? Is that what you're


working on?

SPT-EVA We Just set it so there was a picture, which I


think is acceptable.

CDR Okay. Take a break, and whenever you're ready,

SPT-EVA We 're on our next pole.

CDR Okay, good. Maybe you'll perfect the technique.

218 18 59 22 PLT-EVA I think you ought to go in there and get those


scissors and cut that elastic that's closest to
you on each one. Otherwise, your hands are going
to get so tired, you won't be able to put the
poles together.

SPT-EVA Yes !

CDR That may be true. Have to be careful you didn't


lose the poles once you did that. Wonder where
you could keep the scissors?

218 18 59 40 SPT-EVA I can cut them one at a time. But there's no


place to put the scissors. There's - unless I
could tether them, maybe. But - -

PLT-EVA Haven't the - tethers got a string on them?

SPT-EVA No.

CDR They've got a little - Yes, it's got a string on


it. But it's got no - You know, the string isn't
attached to anything. Let me see what you could
do; you could get the scissors - -
353

218 19 00 02 PLT-EVA And tie it to the hatch handle - blue handle,


somewhere, a handrail or -

CDR That's what I'd try if I were you, Owen.


Just to give it a go; that might solve all your
problems right there.

SPT-EVA Okay, Just a minute.

CDR Just go - Do you know where it is?

SPT-EVA By the ... Stow this first and then I'll take
a break and -

CDR 0kay.

218 19 00 23 PLT-EVA Okay, Owen, now where would you like me to point
that ?

SPT-EVA Well, we can try it up there where we - That's


•.. Let me give - you a DCA for the end of that
pole.

f-- PLT-EVA Okay, Just a minute.

SPT-EVA Okay, now you got to come down a little• You're


hitting those boxes.

PLT-EVA ... where you want it.

218 19 00 42 SPT-EVA Well, you can try it there if you want, but that
wasn't where you had it before.

CDR Yes, help him put it where it is. You can't tell
what's behind you, Jack.

SPT-EVA Rotate it to your - clockwise. Rotate the pole


a little clockwise, Jack. The other way.

218 19 01 09 SPT-EVA Attaboy. I guess, now, we've found the place to


do it.

CDR Excellent. Great.

PLT-EVA Now we rotate the pole back where I had it.


Just ease it through my hands, so I don't
lose the rope.
359

218 19 01 53 PLT-EVA Hey, AI, can you see the mtring going outs

CDR I cam not look out that way now, Jack.

PLT-EVA Oh, yes?

CDR I can do it at night again, but not in the


day.

218 19 02 06 SPT-EVA Six poles.

CDR Six?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Okay. Good. That's five more to go. You're


half through with one pole. Can't gripe about
that. Last one went on awful quick, too. So - -

218 19 02 19 SPT-EVA Contact with Houston now, Jack.

PLT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Oh, I can't hear them. All I hear is a little


noise.

CDR They haven't said anything yet, Jack.

SPT-EVA No, they're ***

218 19 02 36 SPT-EVA Jack, this tether is backing off. Back


out and tighten up that tether up to F-10.

218 19 02 46 PLT-EVA Okay. All right, I can't leave here and do that,
you know.

SPT-EVA Yes, ... hold it.

SPT-EVA ... the piece? This one sure is.

PLT-EVA Get my tether loose.

218 19 03 38 CDR I'ii tell you one other thing we could do.
When you get one pole out, if you want to do it,
you could come back into the lock compartment,
we could repress, and bring those poles with you,
we could repress, fix the poles, by scissoring
them or whatever else, depress the lock compartment,
go out and do it and finish the Job.

218 19 03 58 SPT-EVA No, I think we ought to press ahead, AI.

218 19 04 00 CDR Okay. It's Just another possibility. Not


pushing it, Just trying to - -

218 19 04 05 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear over


Goldstone for 5 minutes. We're getting the TV
down here and all systems are looking good.

218 19 04 ii CDR Thank you. Let me give you a little recap of


what 's going on, Story.

CC Go, A1.

CDR Okay, they've got six poles assembled; everything's


transferred down. Here's been the problem.
We've got the little grommets, as you know, on
the end of the poles. And so as 0wen has been
pulling the poles off the rack, the little
grommets tend to roll down like they're going
off the end. Now we haven'tbeen able to break
the elastic; it's really tough. So there's no
way to break it. So he's been having to maneuver
very carefUlly - -

218 19 04 44 PLT-EVA 0., 0. ; Just a minute- The other end of that is


between your legs, here. You get it.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Okay?

SPT-EVA Yes.

218 19 04 53 PLT-EVA There you go.

218 19 04 57 CDR He's had to maneuver the poles very carefully


out of the rack to keep from losing the gro-,,ets.
Now it's been taking time, and it looks like he's
going to get it. I suggested one alternative,
which doesn't sound too good, but it's a
possibility, if he - in case he gets tired;
namely, come back in the lock, bring the poles in,
repress the lock, cut this - the - -
356 _

SPT-EVA Elastic.

CDR - - elastic with the scissors, depress the lock,


go out and finish the Job. But Owen seems to
think he's going to have it made. It's Just
going to take a little bit longer than he thought.

218 19 05 35 PLT-EVA I think you bumped the TV, there, O.

218 19 05 37 SPT-EVA Yes, you're right.

PLT-EVA Just pull it this - I think you Just got one


axis, that's all.

218 19 05 46 CC We copy, A1.

CDR Okay.

218 19 06 03 PLT-EVA How does that picture look down there now,
Houston?

CC That's a good picture, Jack.

PLT-EVA Okay. That's a satisfactory position for the


camera? Story, is that satisfactory?

CC Like it a little bit lower down, below the ATM.

CDR You mean away from the Sun?

CC Towards the Sun.

218 19 06 ll PLT-EVA Well, it looks like we're whistling down


the West Coast, there, Story.

SPT-EVA That better, Story?

CDR I don't think so.

SPY-EVA How's that, Story?

218 19 06 44 CC We're looking. It's getting better.

PLT-EVA Yes, I look off to m_ right and I can see - -

SPT-EVA You want more?

CC More in the same direction.


357

PLT-EVA I can see Los Angeles and the Imperial Valley,


the Salton Sea, and we're coming up on BaJa.
Well, that must be San Clemente down there,
too.

218 19 07 04 CC Little further in the same direction, 0wen.


Right there.

PLT-EVA We're looking pretty close to the Sun now, O.

218 19 07 14 SPT-EVA Is that satisfactory, Story?

CC I guess we better lift it up in the opposite


direction now. The AGC is cutting us out because
of the Sun.

SPT-EVA You bet.

PLT-EVA Tilt it up a little bit more, 0.

218 19 07 24 CC Try that, right there.

SPT-EVA Oh, okay.

CC That looks as good as you're going to do.

SPT-EVA Oks_f.

CDR Feel rested, 0.? If not, rest.

2_18 19 07 44 PLT-EVA Oh, the way I'm standing up here, Story, I'm
heading backwards, but I'm standing upright
looking down at the - at the Earth. And over -
Right now, of course, we're over lots and
lots of blue Pacific and clouds. Off to
my right side, over there, I can - We're
halfway down the BaJa Peninsula now, and
I can see up to L.A. and almost up - almost
up to Frisco.

218 19 08 12 SPT-EVA San Francisco.

218 19 08 13 PLT-EVA Right. And I can see the Salton Sea. And
it's Just an all-around beautiful sight.
Yes, the curvature of the Earth is very,
very apparent up here; and the Earth truly
is round, and-
358 --_

218 19 08 37 CC Okay, we're copying all that. It's great,


Jack. We're going LOS here in i0 seconds.
We'll see you over the Vanguard at 19:25,
and we'll be dumping the tape recorders then.
And there are s_ne scissors in a pouch in
the airlock.

218 19 08 50 PLT-EVA Okay, thank you, Story.

218 19 08 56 PLT-EVA Okay, 0., I'ii fire this up to you and you
can put another one on there.

218 19 09 01 SPT-EVA I'ii put it wherever you like it.

218 19 09 i0 SPT-EVA A little higher. About 6 inches toward me.

218 19 09 38 CDR Well, you've done it again. You did it again.

PLT-EVA Are we on?

218 19 09 42 CDR Yes, time's okay. You've only been out i hour
and 40 minutes. We got plenty of time to go.
Some of those lunar surface EVAs are 7 hours, so
don't hurry. Just don't lose a grommet; don't
lose a part. You got it made.

218 19 l0 01 SPT-EVA Can you take it down Just a little bit?

CDR Relax those mittens there, 0. Let those hands


relax. Maybe when you get that one done you'll
have some relax time while Jack does his thing,
while he tries to arrest the coning.

SPT-EVA Not really. It's - comes at the end of both of


them.

CDR Oh, it's all in your mind. Make it come between.

218 19 l0 22 SPT-EVA Just have to take a little break here in a little


bit.

CDR Okay. That's a good idea.

218 19 l0 27 PLT-EVA You need me to point the alignment ma?'ks at you,


0.?

SPT-EVA *** that?


_-_- 359

SI_9_EVA *** say?

CDR Huh?

218 19 l0 hl SPT-EVA What'd he say?

PLT-EVA You need me to point the alignment marks at you?

218 19 l0 hh SPT-EVA Got it on now.

PLT-EVA Okay, attaboy.

SPT-EVA But this grommet - You know they've got a pre-


ferred position? This grommet sort of wants to
hop off the lock ring here. Just - no way to
change that.

CDR The grommet with its own - mind of its own.

218 19 ll 02 SPT-EVA You know what I mean, don't you?

PLT-EVA Yes. I'll bet it'll stay in there and take its
own set.

218 19 ll 07 SPT-EVA Okay, take another one.

PLT-EVA Okay, now push it through my hands very carefully,


so we don't destroy our orientation.

SPT-EVA Have to start giving you more rope because there's


a lot of flop out on the other end.

218 19 ll 30 PLT-EVA Oh, oh. Can you see the eye end at the end of the
pole, 0.?

SPT-EVA Every now and then.

PLT-EVA Can you see it now?

218 19 ll 37 SPT-EVA Yes, I can.

PLT-EVA Is it twisted or - -

SPT-EVA No. It's - it's fine. It's straight, as] the


way.

PLT-EVA Okay. Now we Just got to keep doing it exactly


like that.
360

SPT-EVA Is it taut?

218 19 ll 45 PLT-EVA Well, it's not now, but it was a minute ago when I
was t-lking about it.

CDR I think that technique of rotating it one way,


Jack, to let 0wen do it and then rotating it back
where it was, to manage, is a smart idea.

218 19 12 05 CDR Well, you've only got 5-1/2 hours to go on a - No,


5 hours and - 5 hours and 40 - No, 5 hours and -
5 hours and - 22 minutes to go on a 7-hour EVA.

218 19 12 24 PLT-EVA Oh, and we may use it all.

CDR Okay, if we do it right. We can use more than


that if that's what it takes. Like I say, we can
always come in after this one. Jack's got to come
in anyway. Get the gear. We could always shut
the door, rest; I could feed you all a couple of
glasses of pop and send you out again. Just
happen to have a couple of drinks in the old MDA.

218 19 ]2 47 SPT-EVA Okay, Jack.

PLT-EVA Okay, O. I'll roll her up there slowly and -


there, a little more inertia to her now.

SPT-EVA Okay, rotate it - *** the other way, the other way.

218 19 13 22 SPT-EVA 0h! ... it.

PLT-EVA Oh, I thought you had it.

SPT-EVA Huh-uh.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 19 13 36 PLT-EVA Oh, he's got another one.

CDR Is that seven?

SPT-EVA Nw* minute.

218 19 13 43 CDR Okay, we got eight, nine - three more to go, O.


Great! That's over one-thlrd and you only used
an hour and a half. That's fantastic!
_ 361

SF2-EVA (Chuckle)

CDR We'll put the big - put the Big Jack to work.
He's been la_ing around out there holding a pole.
We'll see what a Marine can do. I Just hope he
can handle the coning.

PLT-EVA Yes ; oh, boy.

218 19 14 16 CDR That's why/%e's out there. Nobody else on the


crew can handle the coning.

SPT-EVA Okay, that's all I'm going to pnll out for now.

PLT-EVA Okay. We'll Just let the dude float right there.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 19 14 35 CDR Too bad you can't push those poles the other
direction and then get them out. I guess it's
a little thing we slip behind the grommet then.
I can't remember how -

PLT-EVA It's going to be bad on one end or the other.

CDR That's right. I didn't know whether some way you


could push it, get one end up and then hold it up.
But I guess you can't. Hard for me to visualize - -

PLT-EVA Don't loosen that stuff up any more there, O.

218 19 15 02 SPT-EVA I'm trying to get it sorted out.

PLT-EVA It's Just going to get worse, I think, if we play


with it. Let's wait until we get to the end of
the line and then we'll Just - turn that end one
around as many times as we need to get the - now
it 's out.

SPT-EVA All right.

218 19 15 17 CDR How your hands feel, Owen?

218 19 15 h7 SPT-EVA Okay.

218 19 15 48 PLT-EVA Hey, he's got another one out!

CDR Your time's being cut down, Owen; you're learning,


/_ babe.
362

SPT-EVA I know. That's the problem. I'm learning.

CDR Great.

SPT-EVA Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

218 19 16 00 CDR How do your hands feel?

218 19 16 01 SPT-EVA Not bad.

CDR Good, good.

CDR Like you said, if we can't do it, it can't be


done. I tell you, there's not a lot of action
in this MDA with this suit on. You Just kind of
lay here and listen. It's like being at home
with out TV.

SPT-EVA Listen for the alarms.

CDR No, I ain't listening for any alarms.

218 19 16 38 PLT-EVA Owey's got another one.

SPT-EVA Okay, Jack.

PLT-EVA Okay, now just ease her out.

PLT-EVA ... it, so I don't lose it - my left hand.

218 19 17 07 SPT-EVA Okay.

218 19 17 13 PLT-EVA ... if you want it there. I don't know.

SPT-EVA *** kick it out with my right foot. I prop it up


against F4 and then pull (laughter). Lean way back
into the back part of the FAS, keep the rod coming
without dragging.

CDR (Laughter) How come that isn't in the checklist,


0.?

218 19 17 39 SPT-EVA I've been meaning to tell you.

218 19 17 47 CDR Boy, are we hauling you know what across this
Earth (laughter). Hot dog! You know it is fun
to look out of these windows, Jack, particularly
at night.
363

P LT-EVA Yes.

CDR Because then you can look up towards these ATM


panels, and right around sunrise, it's Just
fantastic.

218 19 18 l0 PLT-EVA Yes. I want to see the sunrise and sunset from
that window. I haven't been - We haven't been
able to see that out of the wardroom.

CDR Yes; it's beautiful here.

218 19 18 22 PLT-EVA That tube ... on that was easy. There's another
one.

CDR How many is that?

PLT-EVA He Just grabbed it and had it on there, and I


didn't even know it.

s
218 19 18 31 CDR Is that l0 or ll?

PLT-EVA Ten, isn't it, O?

SPT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay, now ease it out very slowly.

218 19 18 40 CDR Excellent. Good news. Science conquers.

218 19 18 48 PLT-EVA Don't let the last part of that thing get loose
from the plate there, 0.

SPT-EVA Yes, I know. *** thing is messy; not irretrievable,


but messy.

218 19 19 02 PLT-EVA Okay. I think we're in good shape there. Okay,


the other thing I'm thinking about when we're
through with this - you get that pole in, is coming
back and flipping this - rod - bunch over upside
down, so that I'll be looking at the tops of them
instead of the bottoms.

SPT-EVA Yes; I'll help you do that.

218 19 19 21 CDR Good idea.

SPT-EVA Won't be anything to that. Might save time in the


long run.
264

218 19 19 29 CDR Excellent. You're the guy we've got to save now.
Later on, you're expendable when we get Jack out
there and have to carry him. See him like a
gladiator before the matchl Think I'll put
TV BUS 1 ON Just to see what happens.

SPT-EVA Tell you what'll happen (laughter).

CDR Just to see - -

SPT-EVA Start it.

CDR I'll do it when Jack is looking at the ATM, and


tell me if there's smoke or anything coming out,
Jack.

PLT-EVA That'll give us a lot of extra EREP time.

218 19 20 18 PLT-EVA Think you found the secret of this, O.

SPT-EVA Yes, working up high is the way to go.

PLT-EVA Yes, I think you're right.

218 19 20 25 CDR Well, darn; he ... muscle. Experience does count


for something, huh?

SPT-EVA (Laughter)

218 19 20 30 CDR What's that? One left on the plate now?

SPT-EVA Yes, at the top.

CDR One on the top; okay. Didn't lose a single groin.

218 19 20 39 SPT-EVA I came close to losing that first one though, I'll
tell you.

CDR You didn't, though. That's what counts.

PLT-EVA That's right. That's the spirit. Whoo hah'


Eleven of them.

218 19 20 49 CDR Jack reminds me of my - our symbol here. We've


got this man right over the Earth, and he's there.
That's what you look like when I look out the _-_
window.
365

SPT-EVA All arms and legs, huh? Four legs and four arms?

CDR No, he's covering the Earth.

218 19 21 07 SPT-EVA Okay, I'm going to pull it on out now, Jack.

PLT-EVA Okay, you hold that end there.

SPT-EVA Okay, you'll have to bring it back to me there.

PLT-EVA Hold your, hold your -

SPT-EVA Oh, you mean this end of the rope?

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 19 21 16 SPT-EVA Yes, I'll keep a hold on this end of the rope and
you - *** untwist any lines that need -

PLT-EVA Okay now.

" SPT-EVA *** pole.

PLT-EVA The one that's on my left hand I want on the left


side of the pole, obviously.

218 19 21 44 PLT-EVA Okay, that looks good.

CDR Are you able to look out there, 0wen, and see that
it's - untangled, or is that too close to the Sun?

218 19 22 03 PLT-EVA Go 180 the other way, 0wen. That's the way we - -

SPT-EVA It 's - -

PLT-EVA - - got to go.

SPT-EVA - - It's Just right.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA There are no tangles at all.

218 19 22 I0 CDE Excellent. Okay, Jack, l'm going to read it,


although you - -

/- SPT-EVA Just a minute. I got to lock this one down unless


that's what you're going to read.
366

CDR No, I'm waiting until you can do whatever you're


finishing, then l'm going to tell Jack what to do.

SPT-EVA Okay, I got to lock this one.

PLT-EVA Don't take it out of my hands.

218 19 22 26 SPT-EVA Yes, the trouble is - you know these rubber grom-
mets. While I was at it I was going to roll it
up on my cuff.

PLT-EVA But not too far.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA That's locked down tightly and the grommet is


coming in. Now it never can come out again.

CDR Great.

SPT-EVA Okay, Jack, you got them.

218 19 22 46 CDR Okay, I'ii give you some words. Maneuver assembled
rod, hand over hand, out to the installation
position. When base end of rod is reached, swing
rod to the aligned position and attach to the
green socket in the base plate.

PLT-EVA Okay, well I'm fastening my tether to this dealie


first. Just a minute.

218 19 23 04 CDR MARK.

SPT-EVA Okay, now; it's all straight. There are no tangles,


and it has an oscillation period of about 4 seconds.

CDR Doesn't look like it's getting ready to bust, does


it?

218 19 23 15 SPT-EVA No, it doesn't, but boy is it - long and ***

CDR Try to damp it, Big Jack.

SPT-EVA He doesn't need to do anything. He's doing Just


perfect.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay - -
367

218 19 23 25 CDR Swing rod to the - slowly to the aligned position


so you don't stress it, and attach to the green
base plate. Lock nut and position grommet. All
that's after you get your tether on, Just like you
said.

218 19 23 37 SPT-EVA You checking each of those as they go by?

218 19 23 39 PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA *** line with the double hole?

CDR Right. Excellent.

PLT-EVA There's a thing with one white ring on it right in


front of me. Yes. I attach the green !_d to the
red stump - or the red (laughter) -

SPT-EVA *** to the green stump.

/_
218 19 24 01 SPT-EVA Actually it works.

218 19 24 05 CDR Nice Job, Owen. That wasn't easy, I know. Nice
job.

218 19 24 i0 SPT-EVA Thank you. Here you go, Jack. Next time we come
out here to do it, we'll do it even faster.

PLT-EVA Trouble is you only get one time.

CDR You only go around once in life. Remember that, O.


I heard that somewhere.

218 19 24 22 SPT-EVA Pass me the beer, by golly. I bet you couldn't


use it now, could you?

218 19 24 30 CDR As Jack would say, take a blow.

SPT-EVA Okay, you are not quite aligned. Looks like you
need to push it away from you a little hit. There
you go.

218 19 24 4l PLT-EVA Got it.

CDR How's the coning?

PLT-EVA Oh, my gosh! Darn -


368

CDR Hey, hey i

218 19 24 47 SPT-EVA Lock it and grommet it.

218 19 24 51 PLT-EVA (Laughter) It's pulling them back and forth out
there. About a 4-second period, isn't it?

SPT-EVA Try to stop it.

PLT-EVA It won't - -

SPT-EVA Hey, yes! It wouldn't die.

PLT-EVA I didn't believe it.

SPT-EVA Yes, Just put a hand damper on it and that'll take


the energy out better than anything.

CDR Okay, that's the way to do it.

218 19 25 07 CC Skylab, we've got you over the Vanguard for


ll minutes. Reading you loud and clear.

218 19 25 13 CDR Why don't you go ahead and t_1_ to them, O?

SPT-EVA Okay, we Just got the first ll-section pole out,


Story, and passed it on out to Jack. Maybe you
can - no, you've not - you don't have any video,
of course, but - the ll-section pole is now being
clamped to the base plate and - it's not oscillating
too badly at all. It does oscillate with about
a 4- or 5-second period, really a slow one and, -

218 19 25 36 CDR What's the amplitude at the end?

SPT-EVA Oh, l'd say the amplitude at the moment - when I


passed it out to Jack wasn't more than - plus or
minus 3 feet, so it's not too big an oscillation.

218 19 25 45 PLT-EVA It's stable right now.

SPT-EVA And it's already stabilized, Jack says.

218 19 25 50 CC Okay, great. And you've made a lot faster progress -


since the last station than you made before. Are
you doing somethingdifferent?
369

218 19 25 57 SPT-EVA Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. In order to get


these rods out, I kick out of one foot restraint,
my right one, prop it up against the F-h hand-
rail, then lean back and tug on it as hard as I
can, keeping the rods away from the - rack so
that the grommet doesn't drag. Then I have to
twist it off through a - that elastic band - while
bracing my foot against F-4. So it's sort of a
complicated procedure but - apparently you do
learn a - a little bit by trial and error.

218 19 26 26 CC Okay, understand then. Looking at the grommet


on this TV, we thought we saw some grommets on
the locking nut. Are they on the collar of the
rod or on the locking nut?

218 19 26 34 SPT-EVA Well, now on the rods themselves, the grommets


are right behind the locking nut.

218 19 26 41 CC Okay, that's - that's where they ought to be and -


-_ I guess you found the twistingmotion helps
retract the rod.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes; I've been through all that. Elastic


bands are really something.

CDR Santiago, Chile.

218 19 26 59 CC Okay, we solved another problem you beat us to.


If we can be of any further help, let us know.

SPT-EVA Okay, we'll let you, Story. I think the next rod
will go a little bit faster probably, although
what we're going to do is to - Jack is going to
come back and then we will - turn this - section
of rods over so that the next array is also facing
upward to me, so that I can see them as I pull
them out. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll drag more
across the rack and just pull another - and Almost
pull another grommet.

218 19 27 33 PLT-EVA Holy cow! What are we over here, AI? Is this
South America or what?

CDR Yes, you're right over Chile.

/_ 218 19 27 39 CC Affirmative.
37o

PLT-EVA Boy, look at those mountains down there with the


snow on them.

CDR You're right over Santiago, Jack, and in a few


minutes you're going to come right over Argentina.
You're probably over Argentina now.

218 19 27 50 PLT-EVA Called the Andes?

218 19 27 52 CDR Yes. Buenos Aires should be to your - to your


right - right back. No, wait a minute. I don't
know which way you are. You're facing the work-
shop so it should be - you should be looking back.

PLT-EVA My green pole's pointing right there down at the


Andes. Buenos divas, sen_ors and se_oritas.

218 19 28 19 CC Okay, what's the next move, Jack?

PLT-EVA Well, Story, we got this one green pole in place, .4


and it's sitting there - Just as pretty as you
please, no oscillation whatsoever.

218 19 28 29 SPT-EVA You want to come up and flip this thing over, Jack?
You could release it up on that F-10 handrail; then
I can pull it out, keeping you tethered the whole
time.

PLT-EVA Wait a minute. Let me look at this - pole a min-


ute and make sure my hooks *** the right place.

218 19 28 56 SPT-EVA I think they are. Better run this hook through
one time.

PLT-EVA 0kay.

218 19 29 l0 PLT-EVA Okay. There's the hook with the white ring.
*** double ring is on the other side of the pole
and it's going to come to me next before it goes
through the end - opposite end. Okay. I think
we got that straight now. Now, I'm going to come
down there, O., and help you get those plates
turned over.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

218 19 29 h2 SPT-EVA Got to come under it - like so.


371

218 19 29 49 CDR How do the spacecraft systems look, Story?

218 19 29 54 CC They're all great, AI. All great.

218 19 29 57 CDR Okay. What's new in the condensate area?

218 19 30 31 CC A1, the DELTA-P, of course, is zero but we've got


no problem then.

218 19 30 38 CDR Okay.

218 19 30 41 PLT-EVA Could you let go a little bit, O?

SPT-EVA Oh, yes, yes.

218 19 30 47 PLT-EVA F-

218 19 30 50 SPT-EVA I get it.

PLT-EVA Let me have some more.


s-
SPT-EVA Okay.

218 19 31 01 PLT-EVA *** Tether. Once you pull these tethers up, they
don't want to (laughter) - release.

CDR (Whistling )

PLT-EVA Oh, I tell you what we can do here. Let's see,


you're going to have to pull that out of there,
aren't you?

218 19 31 13 SPT-EVA Yes. I could release my end if you want to leave


yours. Maybe that would be easier. Is yours still
tethered?

PLT-EVA Yes, it 's still hooked up.

SPT-EVA Okay, you want to pull it out your way? Got enough
stability? Well, I can help.

218 19 31 26 PLT-EVA Well, I'm hooked - Come out this way yet, O.

SPT-EVA Well, if I pull this thing off, we'll - we can pull


it out. Don't you think?
372

218 19 31 39 PLT-EVA Yes, I think we can pry the corner down around -
my right.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Start it down - and push it to your left. That's


the only way we're going to get it out.

SPT-EVA Oh.

218 19 31 54 PLT-EVA *** a boy.

SPT-EVA Let it out a little further?

PLT-EVA No, Just push it down to your left then, and we'll
get it out under that way and then rotate it over.

SPT-EVA All right.

218 19 32 l0 PLT-EVA Okay, just let me have it, O. I got it.

SPT-EVA All right.

218 19 32 20 SPT-EVA Turn it that way?

PLT-EVA Yes, turn it over like this. Like - pull my part


over the top.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

PLT-EVA That a boy. There you go.

218 19 32 39 PLT-EVA Now we've got it turned over. Let's Just slide
it under there, the way we took it out. Coming
up at you there.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

218 19 32 54 PLT-EVA There' All turned around.

SPT-EVA Okay. Let me put my end back.

PLT-EVA I got news now - Tie it down down there and we're
back in business.

CDR Jack, were you able to - take up the tension on P_


that one strap that got loose a while ago?
373

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 19 33 13 CDR Good. Sounds like you all are well organized to
me.

218 19 33 17 PLT-EVA Oh, it's Just going smoothly. We've Just got to
take our time.

CDR Good.

PLT-EVA *** ... out here. You don't go around this way
very often, like someone said.

SPT-EVA Thanks, boy.

218 19 33 27 CDR When it gets to be sundown, maybe you ought to


take a break and watch - both of you. l'd think
you'd like it and- deserve it.

218 19 33 36 PLT-EVA Now, 0., there's one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, nine, ten - GOt them - that's okay.
There's a couple of these, as I was counting them,
are the ones where the elastic - -

SPT-EVA Oh -

PLT-EVA - - is on the wrong side of the gro_et.

SPT-EVA Oh, that's bad.

PLT-EVA There's only one of those.

218 19 33 55 SPT-EVA Let me try to - I see which one that is. Let's
try to lift it over it.

CDR If there is only one, you might Just not use it.

218 19 34 01 SPT-EVA Well, that's - -

218 19 34 02 PLT-EVA Well, we might and we might not, but I think it's
easy to do that.

SPT-EVA Yes -

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA ... that one I had a while ago.


374

218 19 34 09 SPT-EVA Want me to pull on it down here?

PLT-EVA No, no, no, no. Don't do nothing to it.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

218 19 3h 12 PLT-EVA I'm Just rotating it. There we are. Ahhh.

218 19 3h 20 SPT-EVA Now the elastic ought to be up on the collar, if


you can - if we can get it there.

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 19 34 23 PLT-EVA That's the hard part.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Okay, the best I can do is to tighten these all


up so it doesn't slip down in that little crack.

SPT-EVA Okay. Well, I'm not sure I can get em off, but
I'Ii try. _

218 19 34 39 CC Skylab, we're a minute and a half to LOS. We'll


see you in about an hour over Hawaii at 20:34.
•.. not getting real time; we are getting TV on
the down-link.

CDR Okay. Thanks, Story.

PLT-EVA Okay now, O. the only thing I can suggest is to

218 19 34 56 CDR See you in an hour or so.

PLT-EVA - - is to -

218 19 34 59 CC Okay. And, PLT, Houston.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 19 35 01 CDR They called you, Jack.

PLT-EVA What did you say there, Story?

218 19 35 05 CC We show you getting most of your cooling through


airflow, Jack. In order to conserve your sweat, f-_
maybe you'd want to run a little cool on the
divert er valve.
F _

375

218 19 35 13 PLT-EVA A little cooler water flow, you mean?

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA All right.

CC Yes, sir.

218 19 35 19 SPT-EVA I can get them for you.

PLT-EVA Okay now, 0.; there's a - there's a couple more


here like that.

CDR Thank you, Story.

SPT-EVA I think I can get them all right. Those came off
well enough. I can Just pull them right off.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 19 35 30 SPT-EVA I think you're all set up.

PLT-NVA Okay, I do, too. Let me get back on here at my


favorite position.

218 19 35 43 CDR Watch the sunset. No, that wasn't you. That was
you going by the window (laughter). I thought it
was the Sun going down.

PLT-EVA That's one thing the Marines don't do is set the


Sun (laughter).

PLT-EVA 0ops ' (Chuckle ) Straddle the pole.

218 19 36 l0 PLT-EVA I'll put a little oscillation into it.

SPT-EVA (Laughter) 0hh: Smart aleck. How do you want


that umbilical, Jack?

PLT-EVA Under my right arm - around behind me and under


my right arm.

218 19 36 28 SPT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Move your hand some more.

/'_ 218 19 36 40 CDR Sure wish night would come because I can't watch
you in the daytime.
376

PLT-EVA *** time for seeing the Earth is right here at


sunset.

218 19 B7 0B PLT-EVA You know this pla - this thing is really turning
brown where the Sun hits it.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

PLT-EVA Tan.

218 19 37 l0 CDR How does the serv - command and service module
look, Jack, or can you see it from there?

PLT-EVA Can't see much of it, A1. Can't see any of it.
It's still there, isn't it?

218 19 37 18 CDR With any luck at all. If it's not, I got a heck
of a big hole back there.

SPT-EVA Yes, it's got some gray - brown spots on it.


••. on the command module section•

SPT-EVA Okay• *** next?

PLT-EVA Well, you want to press on or what?

218 19 37 39 SPT-EVA I'm ready to press on.

218 19 37 41 PLT-EVA Okay. Go ahead and do your thing. I Just got


a - had to wait to get three bolts put together
and I'm confident you can do that.

SPT-EVA Do you want to read it now, or should I go ahead?

218 19 37 49 CDR Press on. Nothing to say. Get out pole, put
thing on the end, start doing it. You guys know
what you're doing• Just take it easy; don't get
overconfident• That's the easiest thing to do.

218 19 38 42 SPT-EVA Hey, you know, A1, that parasol is pulled down
right flush as far as it'll go.

CDR Is that right?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR You think maybe the 8 inches was it, huh? _-_
377

218 19 38 52 SPT-EVA Uh-huh. That was exactly right, because the base
of the poles, where they spread out - -

CDR Yes.

SPT-EVA - - is right flush against the - ***

CDR Does the sun shine on much of the workshop out


there?

SPT-EVA Surprisingly enough, you know where it's raised up?

CDR Yes.

SPT-EVA That's where it's got the best coverage.

218 19 39 ii CDR Isn't that funny? Maybe that - maybe that's why
we're been always - been a little cooler than
Pete up here. Maybe that's why it hasn't been
hot back in - some of those compartments that
_ were,whenPeteleft.

218 19 39 21 PLT-EVA Now, the pole that didn't extend - has the - most
shade for the workshop. And the pole that did
extend where the - the parasol went down the way
it was supposed to - -

CDR Yes?

218 19 39 37 PLT-EVA - - that's got about 2 to 3 feet *** foil - of


gold foil unshaded.

CDR I'll be darned. Shoot' I worried about that - -

SPT-EVA *** the sunset.

CDR -- ... flyaround.

SPT-EVA Watch the sunset. Look for a green flash.

CDR What's the green flash?

SPT-EVA Sort of an illnm_nation of green as it goes by the


horizon.

218 19 40 03 CDR It reflects off that cloud, and I can't look at


_ ityet.
378

CDR Think that isn't a view? Gosh: That's fantastic'


Isn't it, Owen? You can look down there on the
ground now and see lights now. Jack, you ought
to be able to look down and to your left and see
lights.

218 19 40 39 CDR Incredible: No, I'm - I'm screwed up, Jack.


That's sky.

PLT-EVA See the clouds on the horizon now.

SPT-EVA Yes.

218 19 40 49 CDR Isn't that fantastic?

PLT-EVA See that light blue; you can see that darker blue
streak through there.

218 19 40 56 CDR Yes.

218 19 h0 57 CDR The dark blue streak and then that sort of gold - .__
orange-gold color. When it comes up in the - in
the morning, it starts a little bit blue with the
littlest bit of gold, and then it Just gets bluer
and bluer, and the gold gets steadily a little
bigger, and then all of a sudden the gold starts
getting real wide and then the Sun comes out.
Look at the dark blue layer.

218 19 41 19 PLT-EVA Yes. It's getting thicker.

CDR Uh-huh.

218 19 41 24 CDR Dropping behind the limb. Just like a science


fiction picture, only better.

SPT-EVA You mean the thickness of the blue gets thicker?

CDR Yes.

218 19 _i 37 CDR And then the gold doesn't. The gold always - the
gold Just appears all at once.

SPT-EVA Don't know whether it gets any thicker or you


just get dark adapted, so you see it further.

CDR Could be. Could be.


379

PLT-EVA There's a place over to your right, A1 - I guess


your right.

218 19 41 52 CDR Where that star is getting ready to get occulted?

PLT-EVA No, where the - I don't know - where the orange


is thicker and then it ... on to something thinner.

218 19 42 00 CDR Oh, yes. I can't see it. It's behind the wing.
Too many solar panels.

218 19 42 05 PLT-EVA Yes. But directly where the Sun is, there is no
orange, but on either side, there is still some
orange.

CDR Boy, the Earth is sure big, isn't it? Gosh dog:
Look at the size of it. Even up here you can
see the - can barely discern the curvature. It's
a big ball'

_- 218 19 h2 27 CDR That's a better place to stash that - par - that


sail, Jack. Keep clear of the ...; don't bump
into it and stress it.

218 19 42 37 CDR How you doing, 0wen?

SPT-EVA *** progress.

218 19 42 39 CDR Good.

218 19 42 46 CDR How's that line look up the pole now, Jack? Nice
and straight or can you see it in the dark?

PLT-EVA I looked at it already, AI. It's perfect. It


goes up one side all - all the way and down one
side all the way.

CDR Great.

PLT-EVA There's no - no twistover at all.

218 19 h3 05 CDR You know what's neat? As I look here I can see
that horizon move across the front of the ATM.
A little blue line is dropping as we drop behind
the Earth. It makes it seem like a planet instead
of Just a picture, like you're really going around
F something. Gosh' I 'm glad that S-IV worked and
S-IB did.
380

PLT-EVA That would have been a short sunrise (laughter).

218 19 43 4B CDR It's great to be here. I'll tell you, it's


phenomenal - phenomenal: You'll have something
to say to Gratia and Helen Mary tonight.

218 19 44 00 CDR Don't put undue stress on that bag.

218 19 45 13 PLT-EVA Is it cool enough, 0.?

SPT-EVA Yes, how about you?

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 19 45 20 SPT-EVA Almost - I can ASmost reach it but not quite.

PLT-EVA Okay, I can now make one more fix.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 19 46 06 PLT-EVA Okay, I got it now. Now we got - to square away


this squirrelly line here.

218 19 46 16 PLT-EVA Okay, that one's paying good. The gro_et's in.

218 19 46 25 PLT-EVA 0., we're going to do this one exactly the same
way as we did the other one.

218 19 h6 28 SPT-EVA Fine.

218 19 46 32 PLT-EVA If I can find out what the orientation is.

218 19 46 48 PLT-EVA Now - -

218 19 46 49 SPT-EVA Now that right there is the way I like to look at
it. Just like that.

PLT-EVA Ssme here.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 19 46 53 PLT-EVA Wait a minute, let me get the line untangled first.

SPT-EVA Okay, Just put it over that loop over the end
there and untangle it as you like.

218 19 47 54 SPT-EVA Ah, that's the way I want it to be. _-_


381

PLT-EVA Yep. Wait a minute. Where's that -

SPT-EVA Alignment mark?

PLT-EVA That's the way you see it. Right?

218 19 48 Oh PLT-EVA Rotate like that - about right there.

SPT-EVA Okay. You happy with the way the lines are
separated?

PLT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA That's the way it's going to be, right there.

SPT-EVA One cross. Okay.

218 19 49 01 SPT-EVA Elastic with all this - *** Appreciate all little
favors.

_ 218 19 49 i0 SPT-EVA Come over this way a little bit.

218 19 49 44 PLT-EVA Okay, 0., there's one, two, three, four.

SPT-EVA Okay. Think it's going to come out okay?

218 19 50 Ii PLT-EVA Now let me inspect your work here.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

218 19 50 21 PLT-EVA Okay. Move you -

218 19 50 59 SPT-EVA The pieces of elastic must come through the other
side because they're coming out easier on this
si de.

218 19 51 0h CDR Great: Good news, good news. I think the best
thing, though, is the fact that you stopped and
thought, figured out a better way, and did it,
instead of beating yourself to death on that
first one. That's great.

218 19 51 25 PLT-EVA Al Bean technique!

218 19 51 28 CDR Trouble is, I don't always use it myself. Just


when I need it the most, I forget it. When I
F don't need it, I rememberit - like some of my
good resolutions.
382

218 19 51 40 PLT-EVA You got - you got that on there already, 0.?

218 19 51 42 SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA They're getting you to work down there. You had


to go to work.

218 19 52 13 PLT-EVA Okay, wait a minute. *** I look that over. Wait
a minute, wait a minute. Found out one's come off;
it's loose from my glove.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes, that's - that's -- a lot of these do not


like the set point that they're at. They may set
what they -

SPT-EVA Okay?

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 19 52 41 PLT-EVA I'll bet they like it after they get some Sun on
them.

SPT Yes.

218 19 52 44 CDR Well, they're molded that way is the reason.


They're molded so the inside is littler than the
outside, you know. They're, you know, capped in
a little mold and, I guess, when you get the out-
side in the inside and vice versa, it doesn't
like it that much.

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 19 53 00 CDR But it should never slip out of there. There's


no force that's big enough to pop it out. Even
though it might not be esthetically as pleasing,
it shouldn't be a problem. Do you think?

218 19 53 13 PLT-EVA No, I don't think it will.

SPT-EVA I don't either.

PLT-EVA As the sail goes up the pole, it tends, if it


hit them or it dragged on them, it would tend to
make them tighter.

218 19 53 23 CDR That'sa good thought. _-_

SPT-EVA You got a problem with them coming off, though,


A1 -
383

CDR What?

218 19 53 28 SPT-EVA You don't want them to slip off, though, or being
tight up against that nut, of course.

218 19 53 33 CDR That - that's right. You don't want them, and
that's why I said that - that once they're down
in that little concave spot, there isn't any
forces - -

SPT-EVA To take them out afterward.

CDR - - that can pop them out except, you know, a hand
rolling them out or s_nethlng. There's no - I
can't think of any thermal forces or any bending
forces that'd pop them out. Can you? Suppose
when that pole flexes, it can pop them out?

218 19 53 59 SPT-EVA Don't think so.

CDR I don't think so, either. That's - Being


_ elastic,they shouldn't. Not only that, even if
they do, according to Huntsville, it shouldn't
have any effect on the pole anyhow.

SPT-EVA No, that's - no, that's if they're all over center


in the - back in the little groove, then the -
locking nut shouldn't hurt.

218 19 54 18 CDR Yes. Even if you took the locking nut off, they
shouldn't.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's right. The important thing is for


Jack to check those two holes as they go ...

CDR That 's right.

218 19 54 44 PLT-EVA I got it, O.

218 19 55 17 PLT-EVA Okay, you did that one very good. The two holes
are lined up with the line?

218 19 56 3_ PLT-EVA I have one that doesn't want to fit here.

218 19 56 39 CDR A pole?

218 19 56 54 CDR If it doesn't make it, why don't you Just take it
and stash it inside of the airlock.
384

218 19 56 58 PLT-EVA Made it.

CDR Okay, good.

218 19 57 00 PLT-EVA But it was a little bulky, it - it was a tighter


fit than the rest.

CDR Huh'

218 19 57 06 SPT-EVA That was a test.

218 19 57 hl PLT-EVA Okay, I got that one lined up. The big grommet
is in.

218 19 57 48 PLT-EVA Come here, you rascal.

218 19 58 05 PLT-EVA How many is that, 0.?

218 19 58 06 SPT-EVA Well, we got three more, so that's - We need four


more, so that must be seven.

PLT-EVA Yes.

(Music : "Marine Anthem" )

218 19 58 52 PLT-EVA Sounds good here; back it up a little.

218 19 58 55 CDR I am; I wanted to make sure it's Just right.

PLT-EVA Okay. There's a little - there's a little


prelude to that tune.

CDR (Bugle call: Reveille) That's not - we don't


want that.

PLT-EVA Let that run out (Bugle call: "Reveille").


That'll be done (Bugle call: "Reveille").

218 19 59 08 CDR Can you hear that real good?

218 19 59 l0 PLT-EVA Yes

CDR Okay.

218 19 59 12 SPT-EVA Look out. There you go.

218 19 59 14 CDR Okay, that's where I'm going to hold it and play
it.
385

PLT-EVA Yes. Wait until I get everything - -

CDR No, it's going to have to all be done.

PLT-EVA Right.

218 19 59 20 CDR Ain't going to be any premature announcements.

PLT-EVA Okay -

CDR Just want to be ready.

SPT-EVA This one --

PLT-EVA That sounded real good.

218 19 59 27 SPT-EVA This one does not have the normal cap, Jack, so
I'm going to have to take it apart, check it all.

PLT-EVA 0kay.

218 19 59 39 CDR Which foot did you take out the foot restraints
for pulling out the poles, Jack - Owen?

218 19 59 43 SPT-EVA I take the right one out for pulling out the
poles; I take the left one out for making the
poles.

CDR Okay.

218 19 59 59 SPT-EVA The other activities require both out.

CDR We haven't got our medallions cast yet, and we're


going to have them cast the back with this on
there.

PLT-EVA That's a good idea.

CDR You 're darn right, boy.

SPT *** pole?

218 20 00 37 CDR You bet. ATM will have - I mean the workshop
will have one wing and the - and the sail out.
This one right here.

218 20 00 49 PLT-EVA Got to get this in line.


386

218 20 00 58 PLT-EVA Okay, I got that lined up good.

218 20 01 04 PLT-EVA Here's my little dealie.

218 20 01 21 PLT-EVA That's m_ little dealie trying to get away. Okay.


we got her there.

218 20 01 44 PLT-EVA Hey, he's got another pole'

CDR He's just got an inexhaustible supply of those


things, doesn't he?

218 20 01 49 PLT-EVA Way it seems to me.

CDR Sounds good, 0. (Laughter).

218 20 02 01 SPT-EVA Is that teasing you again?

PLT-EVA Chase it out into space.

CDR It's a good technique for keeping those lines


separated, Jack.

218 20 02 ll PLT-EVA It worked on the first one.

218 20 02 13 CDR It sure did.

218 20 02 14 PLT-EVA You got that in there already, 0.?

218 20 02 16 SPT-EVA Um-hm.

CDR Ha' Just trying to make you work, Jack.

PLT-EVA Golly'

218 20 02 40 PLT-EVA Easy: Not too much.

218 20 02 55 PLT-EVA Okay, I got that one lined up.

218 20 03 34 PLT-EVA Okay.

218 20 03 48 SPT-EVA I - I tapped the FAS area with the end of this
pole; I - I - -

CDR Yes?

SPT-EVA - - I couldfeel it vibrate. _


P

387

CDR I'ii be darned.

218 20 03 55 SPT-EVA All the way through my suit.

CDR I'll be darned. I wonder how the rate gyros


liked it. Whew!

218 20 04 06 PLT-EVA *** the panel, you can tell, I guess.

CDR Hopefully. Say the word, I hope. Nope?

218 20 04 21 CDR Tell me when the Sun starts to come up, would
you?

218 20 04 36 SPT-EVA Let me pull it out for you, Jack. I don't want
to lose that last - piece of elastic in here
next time. Okay?

218 20 04 42 PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Got one more.

218 20 05 55 PLT-EVA By golly, he's got the last one on there, A1.

CDR That's great. That's great.

218 20 06 21 PLT-EVA Okay, got that firmer in your hand?

218 20 06 41 CDR Watch the window over here, Jack.

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 06 57 SPT-EVA Now let's get these straightened, Jack.

218 20 06 59 SPT-EVA Okay, I think those are straight, don't you?

218 20 07 02 PLT-EVA Don't pull it out of my hand.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 20 07 05 SPT-EVA Rotate it - a little bit; like that. Okay, bring


the pole back to me.

218 20 07 21 SPT-EVA That's it; Just like that.

218 20 07 29 SPT-EVA It'll rotate Just about 120 degrees. Twenty or


240.

218 20 07 36 PLT-EVA I'ii take the 120.


388

SPT-EVA Yes.

218 20 08 07 PLT Okay, that's screwed down tight. Old lock washer's
in.

218 20 08 13 PLT-EVA Okay, is it my pole?

218 20 08 15 SPT-EVA It's your pole?

218 20 08 16 PLT-EVA Okay, I got my tether on it.

CDR That's great, Jack.

218 20 08 25 SPT-EVA It's that 120-degree twist, but there's nothing


we can do about that.

PLT-EVA It' ii probably work out all right.

SPT-EVA I think it will. You see, it was either 120 or


240.

PLT-E_TA I'd go _th the 120.

CD2 What's going to happen; how're you going to get


rid of that?

218 20 08 41 PLT-EVA Well, I don't know if we can. We have to look at


the pole. The only way to get rid of it is to
take that thing out and put it back in, once we
get a look at it.

SPT But - I don't think there is any way.

218 20 08 50 CDR Well, there's got to be. The thing fit right on
the fit check, you know. My guess is that some-
how the line got crossed up up there, and we
Just don't know it.

218 20 08 58 PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR But if I can get this put in, you'll be able to


look at it closely, maybe tether it, lift it off,
and put it back in again.

PLT-EVA *** think so. I've got that grommet in it.

218 20 09 07 CDR Yes, you'll be able to do it. He's got to be _


able to do it.

218 20 09 ll PLT-EVA Sail bag.


389

SPT-EVA Well, I don't think it has to; I think it will


work fine like that.

218 20 09 17 CDR Maybe so.

PLT-EVA *** that bag ... out of the way; let me get it
out of the way. There we go_ Bag, easy, bag.

218 20 09 29 CDR How's the coning coming?

PLT-EVA *** bad. I think what we need is a fast - Ouch_

218 20 i0 01 PLT-EVA Then, space fans -

218 20 i0 08 CDR What you need to do before you tighten it in


there is take a hard look at that line.

PLT-EVA Yes, I will. I want to get it in here first.

CDR Okay. Get a tether on it while you work. Good.

218 20 i0 28 PLT Okay. I got it - screwed down and grommetted.

218 20 i0 36 CDR I think, maybe, when you release, it's liable to


flop around and be straight.

218 20 i0 43 PLT-EVA Well, I can't see it at the moment.

218 20 i0 45 CDR You have to wait until the Sun comes up.

218 20 i0 51 CDR Looked like it popped out straight.

PLT-EVA Well, I got it like that, anyway.

CDR I bet that one just popped out straight. You


made a good choice.

218 20 ll 03 PLT-EVA I'm free. Well, I can't see - I don't want to


do anything until the Sun comes up. How long is
that ?

218 20 ii 13 CDR Not too long, I noticed the horizon was right
behind you.

218 20 ii 16 SPT-EVA Can't you see the - time-remaining clocks?

CDR Oh, I'm sorry, Owen. That's a smart idea; I


never thought of it.
39O

218 20 Ii 23 CDR Four minutes and 28 seconds.

SPT-EVA I think it'll be a little less than that. It'll


be about 6 -

CDR Couple minutes. Why don't you take a breather?


You can get the - the things lined up, Jack, so
you got the right ones in the right places and
everything.

218 20 ii 39 CDR Where is the sail bag? Oh, that's over there
just behind the pole.

218 20 ii 42 PLT-EVA Sail bag? Where did we leave it?

CDR Binggggggg! Taxing me there, Doctor J. Hey,


there's the horizon now.

218 20 12 01 SPT-EVA Hey, look at that thing up there. There's some-


thing white flashing over there at the top.

CDR Thunderstorm.

218 20 12 09 SPT-EVA Why was it flashing so high? It was above the blue.
Oh, I see - -

218 20 12 13 CDR It was below the blue.

218 20 12 15 SPT-EVA No, it was above. But it's because this lower
blue is light reflected down beneath the horizon.
The horizon's actually up at the top where that
yellow is.

218 20 12 27 CDR Yes.

SPT-EVA That's amazing. It's almost like an inverted


horizon.

CDR Uh-huh. That's right.

218 20 12 43 SPT-EVA Down there, there's cities and things.

218 20 13 30 SPT-EVA Haven't seen very many yet.

218 20 13 51 PLT-EVA That music came through the headset just right.
Just leave it like you did, AI.
f-.L

CDR Okay.

218 20 14 31 SPT-EVA *** not be AOS.


391

CDR What ?

SPT-EVA May not be AOS when he gets the pole out.

CDR I'ii save it; don't worry about that.

218 20 14 43 CDR He's got to get this pole out, down, and deployed
and finished. As soon as he's finished the Job.
Then that's it.

218 20 14 50 SPT-EVA AM. exchange and all that stuff, that doesn't
count, huh?

CDR Huh-uh.

218 20 15 12 PLT-EVA Where's the next CMG over that way there, 0.?
Can you see it?

SPT-EVA Well, let me see - -

r_ CDR Off to your right.

218 20 15 18 SPT-EVA I'm - I'm - off to my left.

CDR Okay. I can't look out any more.

PLT-EVA Pull visor down.

218 20 15 35 PLT-EVA It's coming but it's hard. Get down there ...
ah, darn !

218 20 15 57 SPT-EVA Look straight, Jack?

218 20 15 58 PLT-EVA ...

218 20 16 07 SPT-EVA *** thing's reflected in your visor; looks like


it goes all the way straight.

218 20 16 16 PLT-EVA The right one is all the way straight. And the
left one makes a 180.

218 20 16 21 SPT-EVA Well, that's about the best - -

CDR Well - -

PLT-EVA Ain't no way to fix that.

CDR There's no way to lift that off, rotate it 180


and fix - She's at 180, huh?
392

218 20 16 28 PLT-EVA The right one is all the way separated. The left
one makes a 180. There ain't no way to fix that.

218 20 16 36 CDR How's that possible? Did we put one of those


things in wrong? It's not locked in? Is there
any way we could have put either - that end on
it wrong? Either the near end or the far end?

218 20 16 54 PLT-EVA Huh-uh. It's only because if you saved one side,
it makes the other one 180 out.

CDR No, l'm saying - here's what l'm saying. I agree


with you. Perhaps - Let me think about this a
minute.

218 20 17 04 SPT-EVA What's hanging me up here, Jack?

PLT-EVA I can't see, 0., probably, your umbilical.

PLT-EVA Tell you what I can do. I think I can lift the
pole out and take the left one and go around
once.

218 20 17 28 CDR Put your tether on it before you lift it out.

218 20 17 30 PLT-EVA Well, I'm still not sure that's going to do the
job. Let me think it about - about it for a
minute.

218 20 17 34 CDR Let me think. I've got my little drawing in


here; l'm fooling with it, too.

218 20 17 37 SPT-EVA Okay, do you want to hold it, and I can get a
better angle on it, Jack, if you can.

218 20 17 41 SPT-EVA Right one is - want to shake the left one a little
bit?

CDR Why don't you talk red and green?

218 20 17 47 SPT-EVA Okay, it's - it's the red one - the one we just
made. l'm talking about the right-hand line.
Now the left-hand line does have a twist, but it
looks like it's a full twist, and it must have been
done as we were working at night. When we were
working at night, my guess is that it got a
twist in it that we didn'tsee. _-_
393

218 20 18 09 CDR The thing to do is take it out and rotate it one -


one full turn and then put it back in, huh?

218 20 18 18 PLT-EVA Well, I'm not sure if you can straighten it out.
Let 's see.

CDR Well, I'm sure you can, unless we've done it


wrong - -

SPT-EVA Yes, I think you- -

CDR - - Jack.

SPT-EVA I think you could, Jack.

218 20 18 28 CDR Just tether it before you do anything with it.

SPT-EVA Left-hand line - Now if I rotate it one full


turn, then the - right-hand line will be 180 out.

218 20 18 40 CDR Try it and see what happens.

SPT-EVA Well, it needs to be passed under the butt plate.

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 18 46 SPT-EVA If it's passed under the butt plate, then it'll
straighten it out.

CDR Okay, what he needs to do is take it off and


then pass it under the end of the pole and put
it back on.

218 20 18 53 PLT-EVA That's what I'm thinking.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's what it needs.

218 20 18 55 CDR Okay. Good. I'm glad. There's no - It's got


to be done right.

218 20 18 59 SPT-EVA Yes, I think it just happened at night when we


couldn't see.

218 20 19 02 CDR Yes.

218 20 19 14 PLT-EVA Got to go under there.

218 20 19 30 SPT-EVA See me out the window, Al?


394

!
r

CDR Huh?

SPT-EVA I was wondering if you could see me out the


window?

218 20 19 35 CDR I can't look out the window too good in the
daytime. Yes, I can see you. I see you good
there. I - I can look at you; I just can't look
at Jack. l've thought about taking pictures,
but there's no real way to do it, so I didn't
take any. I see you looking over the edge.
Looks okay to me.

218 20 20 01 CDR I can't look at the Jack, though.

218 20 20 12 CDR Poles look stable to me.

218 20 20 32 PLT-EVA They're sure big solar arrays.

CDR Don't break the poles.

218 20 20 42 CDR He's coning.

218 20 20 44 SPT-EVA Not bad; they're not in bad shape.

CDR How's he doing, 0.? I can't look.

218 20 20 52 SPT-EVA It's taken out, but l'm not sure.

PLT-EVA I got it put back in.

SPT-EVA Okay. Well, I can't tell how things are until - -

PLT-EVA Now we're going to take a look at it.

SPT-EVA All right.

218 20 21 03 PLT-EVA l'm going to tell you exactly whether it's


right or wrong. Now.

218 20 22 20 SPT-EVA Looks okay to me; don't they to you?

218 20 22 22 PLT-EVA That's how she wants to be, but we got to


rotate it here.

218 20 22 29 SPT-EVA Tether that mother.


395

CDR You got it fig - you got it figured so you know


which way it wants to be, and now you're going
to take out the pole and make it that way, huh?

218 20 22 41 PLT-EVA I did that once.

CDR Wonder why it did wrong? Maybe you can coast


down there and help him, O.

218 20 22 51 SPT-EVA I don't want to if I can avoid it because of


those umbilicals.

218 20 22 54 CDR All right.

PLT-EVA It's just a matter of figuring it out. Just a


minute.

218 20 22 59 CDR No hurry. Take a break.

218 20 23 34 PLT-EVA I think I got it figured out.

_ 218 20 23 52 PLT-EVA Tethered.

218 20 25 12 PLT-EVA Well, Owen, the only thing I can see to do - to -


hand it back to you, and - as you look at it,
rotate that end fitting 180 degrees.

SPT-EVA Hmm.

PLT-EVA Is that possible?

SPT-EVA Yes, that should do it.

PLT-EVA It will - wait a minute. I don't think it'll


fit 180.

218 20 25 46 SPT-EVA No, it won't fit 180. No, it's got to go 360.
That's right. It'll have to go 360.

CDR 180, you wouldn't think that'd made any difference.


Why don't you send it back and try it?

218 20 26 00 SPT-EVA There's no way -

218 20 26 01 CDR We can't send it out that way. You know darn
well when they fit-checked it, it worked. We
_ got somethingtogetherwrong, and it's liable to
screw us up getting this sail out. Get the sail
396

out three-quarters of the way and can't get it


back, and then have to do it.

218 20 26 12 PLT-EVA Yes, well, we're going to now, just - -

PLT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA - - let us work on it for a while.

CDR Okay.

218 20 26 16 SPT-EVA Now you have the tether on the rope already? No
way that thing could get loose no matter what
else we did?

218 20 26 23 PLT-EVA No, it ain't going to come loose.

218 20 26 24 SPT-EVA So you could pull that grommet off and Just work
it backwards.

218 20 26 41 SPT-EVA Look to me llke you had a full 360 degrees


twisted - 60 at the bottom.

218 20 26 51 PLT-EVA Yes, I was thinking, if I took the pole off that
you put on - The other thing I was thinking
about was swinging this down under here - whoops_

218 20 27 01 CDR I'll tell you what - Now wait a minute, Jack.
Let's do it like we're supposed to. Why don't
you hand that thing back to Owen, the end of it,
and let him look out the line. You hold the pole
end like you're supposed to and let him arrange
the other end. Let's don't try any new stunts.

218 20 27 14 PLT-EVA Yes, I'm trying to tell him what the best
possibility - -

CDR Yes, but you don't do it yourself.

PLT-EVA I think - -

CDR Hand him the end, and let's work it - -

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR - - like it should have been done.

218 20 27 21 PLT-EVA Right. I agree with that. 0., you've got


to - -
397

CDR You've got - -

PLT-EVA - - rotate it clockwise.

CDR -- ... trim.

218 20 27 26 PLT-EVA Take it off and rotate it clockwise 360.

218 20 27 30 SPT-EVA All right.

218 20 27 36 PLT-EVA Now the big deal's going to be, we have to get
that grommet off again.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA I can get it off here, but -

218 20 27 4h SPT-EVA If you can get it off there, yes.

218 20 27 49 SPT-EVA Oh, that one. How about the other one, though.

218 20 28 01 PLT-EVA Okay, so - so the word I gave you was that you
had to - As you look at it, rotate it clockwise
360, okay?

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 20 28 ii CDR Well, he can rotate it, and then he can look
at it - -

SPT-EVA That's right.

CDR - - and get it straight.

218 20 28 14 PLT-EVA That's right.

CDR You can work together Just like the normal


operation is, instead of inventing something new
at the last minute.

218 20 28 19 PLT-EVA Okay, A1.

CDR Well, I don't like inventing something new unless


we got to. You all have got it made, here.

SPT-EVA The whole thing we're inventing new.

CDR No, we're not. There you go. Hey, that's a long,
long pole, isn't it?
398

218 20 28 41 SPT-EVA 55 feet, I guess. Isn't that what it is?

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 28 46 CDR I can see why you have trouble telling which way
to turn it.

218 20 28 58 SPT-EVA It seems pretty stable, doesn't it?

218 20 29 01 PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 29 35 CDR Watch the window, Jack. There you go.

PLT-EVA In the clear.

CDR 0keydoke.

218 20 29 43 PLT-EVA Hey, O., clockwise 360.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

218 20 29 48 PLT-EVA *** this grommet out. That's going to be a bit


of a problem.

218 20 30 07 SPT-EVA Be an insurmountable problem.

218 20 30 ii SPT-EVA May not get that grommet out of there at all,
Jack.

218 20 30 13 CDR Okay, reach up there and take one of those poles.
Take that last pole, if you can, remove its
grommet, undo the lock, rotate it out, and
rotate it 360 clockwise and put the pole back in.
That's possible, too.

218 20 30 29 SPT-EVA We could do that here, maybe. Just a second; let


me see if I can - Hey, there's enough line for me
to just loop this over the end.

PLT-EVA Yes, but - -

CDR *** We'd do it.

218 20 30 37 PLT-EVA Well, I tried that, and - it Just gets worse.


l'm afraid we're going to get it wrong.

218 20 30 41 SPT-EVA Okay, well just a minute, I'ii watch what l'm
doing and go back each time. So, let's get it
as straight as we can right now. And I think
399

that that'll do it while I got it all here. Okay,


can you separate the lines, Jack?

218 20 30 53 PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 30 59 SPT-EVA Turning this thing - unloosening it and turning


it is doing nothing more than - -

CDR Flipping it around the end.

SPT-EVA - - flipping it over the end.

CDR That's right. If you could Just look out and see
the end, you could - you can do the whole thing.

218 20 31 09 PLT-EVA I was going to have you turn it clockwise. I


guess - maybe you can figure it out from there.

218 20 31 15 CDR Now has he got the pole - has he got it slid all
_ theway outto the far- -

PLT-EVA Just a minute! Just a minute!

218 20 31 39 SPT-EVA Yes, just pull it out again - Jack.

218 20 31 50 PLT-EVA I'm going to let you work the other line.

218 20 32 37 CDR What's your approach, 0.?

218 20 32 40 SPT-EVA Just looking at it; Just a second, A.

218 20 32 43 CDR Can you see all the way out to the far end or is-
the Sun in the way?

218 20 32 50 SPT-EVA One in my left hand, nearest Jack's right hand,


goes straight all the way.

CDR Okay.

218 20 32 56 SPT-EVA Left hand, about 180-degree twist in it.

218 20 33 l0 PLT-EVA That's the way it was when we began.

SPT-EVA Yes.

218 20 33 ii PLT-EVA Now wait a minute. So pull that - pull the one in
your left hand around the pole. Now how is it?
4oo

218 20 33 25 PLT-EVA Okay, now it's clear at your end; how's it down
at the other end?

218 20 33 54 PLT-EVA Twist that far end there slightly.

218 20 33 57 SPT-EVA Okay, which one - Is - is the one in my right hand


clear?

218 20 34 01 PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 34 28 PLT-EVA Well, they aren't clear now.

SPT-EVA Are they clear? Both of them?

PLT-EVA Negative.

218 20 34 32 SPT-EVA Oh, okay, which one is clear?

218 20 34 35 PLT-EVA Neither of them, I don't believe, are clear now.

218 20 34 39 SPT-EVA Where would I have to rotate the pole to clear --


them?

218 20 34 42 PLT-EVA To the - clockwise, try that.

SPT-EVA ... I see it.

PLT-EVA I think so. The other way then.

218 20 34 53 PLT-EVA Counterclockwise -

PLT-EVA I think you're pulling too hard; I can't turn


them.

218 20 34 54 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear over


Hawaii for 8 minutes. All systems are looking
good down here.

218 20 35 00 PLT-EVA Hi, Story.

CDR I'll talk to him.

218 20 35 03 CDR We got both poles out, Story.

CC Good.

CDR And when we got the second one out, it was in


the dark. We had to wait until the Sun came up
401

to look and see if the line was straight. The


line had a 180-degree twist in it, or at least
it appeared to, which is a little confusing.
Should be in increments of 360, we thought. And
so we've taken that pole down. 0wen presently
has the end. Jack has it over his shoulder
and they're straightening out the line. Essen-
tially, the pole assembly's done, but we've got
to get the line straightened out.

SPT-EVA Catch the pole, Jack.

218 20 35 33 PLT-EVA Okay, don't pull so hard on the ...

CC ...

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 20 35 43 CDR They've been working real easy, so they're not


if tired. Everything's going okay.

218 20 35 54 PLT-EVA Flip - flip any of them off the end - and -
now can you tell where they are, 0.?

218 20 36 01 SPT-EVA I can clear this left one, but the right one is
still going to have about a 70 twist or so. I
wish I could lift this gro_et - Just rotate
it. Can't get that gro-_et back out.

SPT-EVA Take this other pole up there.

PLT-EVA What do you want to do, 0.?

218 20 36 30 SPT-EVA I want to bring it in towards me, and l'm going


to disconnect - so you keep those lines right
where they are.

PLT-EVA Okay. I got them.

SPT-EVA Think it's straight all beyond that now.

CDR Att ahoy.

218 20 36 50 PLT-EVA 0., do you know what way to rotate it now?

SPT-EVA I rotate it so that it's clear up above me.

L_
402

PLT-EVA Check when I get there.

218 20 37 03 CC Jack, Houston.

PLT-EVA Yes, go ahead.

CC How much of a - of a twist do you have out


there?

PLT-EVA Well, the right pole hasn't got any - the r-


the green pole hasn't got any twist in it at
all.

SPT-EVA Rotate it a little more here, now.

218 20 37 14 PLT-EVA The - the red pole - I put it out and the right-
most line was clear, but the left-most line
had a 180 in it.

CC Did you try exercising the line to see how


much friction you had in it?

PLT-EVA No, there wasn't any friction.

218 20 37 38 CC Our feeling is that you can probably put the


sail on it, even with up to a 360 twist, and
you won't have so much friction that you couldn't
run it on out.

PLT-EVA Yes, we're Just trying to make sure. We have


plenty of time.

CC Okay.

218 20 37 52 PLT-EVA Okay, 0., how are you doing?

SPT-EVA Well, that didn't - it looked to me like it was


straight - -

CDR We're going to do it right for Rocko.

218 20 38 00 CC Okay. He's here listening to you.

CDR That work, 0. ?

SPT-EVA I don't know. I've got to check now. Do I


have any twists above me, Jack?
403

PLT-EVA No.

218 20 38 12 SPT-EVA Okay, now let me see above you.

PLT-EVA O., I'll hold this line out and you hold that
one out. Hard to tell when it's close to the
pole. Better hook behind the - in the tree
there, O.

SPT-EVA AI 1 right.

PLT-EVA Yes, there - there you go.

218 20 38 38 PLT-EVA Okay, let me hold this side out, Owen, and
you hold the other one out and see how she
looks.

SPT-EVA Still have a twist out at the far end.

PLT-EVA Which one ?

218 20 39 02 PLT-EVA Are they both twisted?

SPT-EVA Take the pole one way, and rotate the pole
clockwi se ?

PLT-EVA Not my clockwise.

SPT-EVA Okay, then the other way - the other - Okay.

PLT-EVA How 's that ?

218 20 39 19 SPT-EVA Okay, that's pretty good. Just hold it -


completely free. No twists up there.

PLT-EVA Okay, now look at your end.

SPT-EVA Okay, I got some twists up here.

PLT-EVA ... yes.

SPT-EVA Don't let that drop -keep those things sep-


arated. There you go.

218 20 39 40 PLT-EVA Hey, we'll have to go down there and loosen


that connection again.
4o4

218 20 39 42 PLT-EVA The problem is - You want to m_ke sure -


get the -

218 20 39 48 PLT-EVA Hey, 0.?

SPT-EVA Yes.

218 20 39 53 PLT-EVA Just a minute.

218 20 39 55 PLT-EVA Get them as free as we can on the other end.

218 20 39 57 SPT-EVA They are; they're completely free beyond you.

218 20 39 59 PLT-EVA No, on your end. Looks like you could take that
one you had in your other hand - and flip it
around the bottom -

218 20 40 1O SPT-EVA Tried that.

218 20 40 15 PLT-EVA No, the other one now.

218 20 40 17 SPT-EVA You mean this one?

218 20 40 18 PLT-EVA Yes. Okay, now hold it out. Now hold the
other line out, I'll hold this one. Okay, there
you go. Now has your line got a twist or not?

218 20 h0 40 SPT-EVA No, but this line has a twist in it.

218 20 40 42 PLT-EVA Okay. It's got a twist behind you there, too.
Well, that's the one I'm t_]king about. There's
no twist beyond you. Everything's free beyond
you.

218 20 40 51 SPT-EVA Okay on both?

218 20 40 52 PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 40 52 SPT-EVA On both lines, huh?

218 20 40 53 PLT-EVA No. But there's Just one twist right in front
of my nose.

218 20 40 59 PLT-EVA Right. Now see, Houston, that's the queer thing.
We have one line that goes all the way out with
no twist, and the other line's got a i00 - 180
in it.
405

218 20 41 07 CDR The reason is, Jack, is because when he put that
thing on, he wrapped it once around the line.
What Owen's got to do is disconnect the pole,
rewrap it once around one of those lines and then
connect it.

218 20 41 17 PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 41 18 CDR That's what happened. See, it's dropped in between


them.

218 20 41 23 PLT-EVA Okay, hold it on out there, Owen, and let me take
a look at it.

218 20 41 25 CDR You - you hold it apart, you disconnect the pole
and then lift it over around the one to his right.

218 20 41 30 PLT-EVA Okay, I agree with that. Now let me - -

218 20 41 31 CDR Okay.

218 20 41 32 PLT-EVA Now let me take a look at your end there, 0.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

218 20 41 35 CDR Okay, just hold that - -

218 20 41 36 PLT-EVA I'll tell you exactly where to put it.

218 20 41 37 SPT-EVA Okay. I can't see it.

218 20 41 40 CDR Just get rid of that line to your left, Owen.

218 20 41 42 PLT-EVA Just a minute, AI.

218 20 41 43 CDR There you go.

218 20 41 44 PLT-EVA Just a minute, AI.

218 20 41 44 CDR That a boy.

218 20 42 02 PLT-EVA Okay, now, you Just - twist your thing around
here until it's clear. I'll hold this.

218 20 42 09 PLT-EVA There, that a boy. Now let's - Quick. Wrap her
good. Now bring her back, and I'll - -
406

218 20 42 ii CC Skylab, we're 20 seconds to LOS here. As we go


over the hill, all systems are looking good.
We'll be dumping the tape recorders over Vanguard.
See you there in 20 minutes.

218 20 42 23 PLT-EVA Okay, let it - -

218 20 42 23 CDE Okay, looks like they got it now.

218 20 42 27 CDR That's great.

218 20 42 29 PLT-EVA Okay. You all grommetted and everything there, 0.?

218 20 42 32 SPT-EVA Not yet. I Just wanted to check to make sure there's
no ...

218 20 42 37 CDR Hey, that's great, Owen.

218 20 42 42 CDR The only way to do it.

218 20 42 47 PLT-EVA Okay, he's got her - pinned her down. _

218 20 42 54 CDR Hear that thing drop through that hole. There
you go.

218 20 42 58 SPT-EVA Okay, Jack.

218 20 42 59 CDR Lousma strikes again. Now it's your act, Big
Jack.

218 20 43 02 PLT-EVA That a boy, O. Nice going.

218 20 43 iI CDR He never gives up.

218 20 44 16 PLT-EVA Okay. She's all clear of the parasol.

218 20 44 20 CDR Okay. They both stuck in their base plates?

218 20 44 26 PLT-EVA Yes. I'm tightening it down, at the moment.

218 20 44 28 CDR Okay.

218 20 44 33 SPT-EVA Looking good, Jack.

218 20 44 42 PLT-EVA Okay, she's tightened now and she's gro_etted.

218 20 44 45 SPT-EVA Excellent.


4O7

218 20 44 49 PLT-EVA Now let me take a look at this thing here.

218 20 45 08 PLT-EVA Perfect! Ha, ha, ha! Look at that.

218 20 45 l0 SPT-EVA Yes.

218 20 45 12 PLT-EVA Perfect.

218 20 45 18 PLT-EVA Now this line should be up here.

218 20 45 18 PLT-EVA Okay, A1.

218 20 45 32 CDR Okay, I'm ready to read you the next step, huh?

218 20 45 35 PLT-EVA Yes.

218 20 45 37 CDR Okay, you got them in the base plate. A_] right,
may I read the next step then?

/_. 218 20 45 44 CDR Verify each clothesline has a color ring_ within
reach, that has a single white line on it.

P_18 20 45 50 PLT-EVA Certainly does.

218 20 45 52 CDR Open sail bag, attach red sail hook to clothesline
red ring with single white line on it and green
sail hook to clothesline green ring with single
white line on it.

218 20 46 04 PLT-EVA Will do.

218 20 46 05 CDR Let me know when that's finished, and I'll read
the next.

218 20 46 09 CDR If they were recording this, they'll get it over


the Vanguard.

218 20 46 23 PLT-EVA Okay, the green one's hooked.

218 20 46 41 PLT-EVA Red one's hooked.

218 20 46 42 CDR Okay, now pull a little bit of sail out of the
bag. By the way, have you observed if you've
got them hooked and that they're coming the right
direction?

218 20 46 50 PLT-EVA I did that already.


J

4O8

218 20 46 51 CDR All right.

218 20 46 52 PLT-EVA Next thing down is the next hook.

218 20 46 55 CDR Pull a little bit of sail out of the bag, then
take up the slack with the clothesline.

218 20 46 59 PLT-EVA Okay.

218 20 47 00 CDR Continue this action until the second set of attach
hooks on the sall are reached and have passed
through the eyes.

218 20 47 09 PLT-EVA Okay.

218 20 47 i0 CDR Very straightforward. 0kaydoke. I'ii be waiting


to read the next step after that.

218 20 h7 15 SPT-EVA Let's double check these things again.

218 20 47 19 PLT-EVA The next thing is, I pull those up. Those other F-
things are coming down, before they go through
the end.

218 20 47 28 PLT-EVA So I'll get a little sail out of the bag here.

218 20 47 37 SPT-EVA Big wad of it there.

218 20 47 38 PLT-EVA Huh?

218 20 47 39 SPT-EVA Looks like you got a big wad all at once.

218 20 47 43 PLT-EVA It's all that white, though.

218 20 47 45 SPT-EVA Yes, that's - a minimum amount.

218 20 47 50 CDR Boy, I wish I could get a picture of you, Jack.


But I Just can't look in the Sun, and it wouldn't
take it. But against that black sky, with that
thing out, it's going to be phenomenal.

218 20 48 01 CDR Now, is the right side going out facing the
workshop and everything?

218 20 48 08 PLT-EVA Well, it's going to turn out to be white side out.

218 20 48 l0 CDR That's the way it's supposed to be, I guess.


F

4O9

218 20 48 14 SPT-EVA If it isn't, we'll pull it back and turn it


right side up.

218 20 48 17 PLT-EVA ... way.

218 20 48 18 CDR The red rings to the red side, and the green to the
green side, and the poles are in the right holders;
there's no other way.

218 20 48 24 SPT-EVA Hey, that's great, Jack.

218 20 48 41 PLT-EVA I'm not going anywhere.

218 20 48 42 M3-EVA (Laughter)

218 20 48 43 PLT-EVA Just keep pulling the same rope.

218 20 48 48 CDR Probably been in that bag a long time .... took
a pretty good set.

218 20 49 01 SPT-EVA You're going to have to work one side at a time,


Jack.

218 20 49 06 PLT-EVA It comes out of the bag with both sides at a time.

218 20 49 09 SPT-EVA And it ... about to get in to go up the line.

218 20 49 19 CDR Hey, I'll tell you what you want to do. Reach
up there and make sure that that pulls apart
fairly easy. It's liable to pull your poles
together instead of spreading out the material.

218 20 49 30 PLT-EVA That's right.

218 20 49 32 CDR Yes, because there's a couple of sticky ones


there.

218 20 49 37 CDR Yes, you want to reach up there and do every


single one. It's gotten - it's flaking off.

218 20 49 43 CDR Pull it in until you get right at the top,


Jack. You have to pull it back in. And look
right at the top at that fabric. Make sure that
you pull that fabric, and it doesn't have a set
in it.

218 20 49 53 PLT-EVA It's not flaking much.


410

218 20 49 55 PLT-EVA No.

218 20 49 56 CDR All right. Good.

218 20 49 57 PLT-EVA I think that could be some of that spray paint


they sprayed it with.

218 20 49 59 CDE Okay.

218 20 50 00 PLT-EVA I don't even really see any.

218 20 50 24 CDR Is it got much of a set or is it coming apart


pretty easy, Jack?

218 20 50 27 PLT-EVA Well on the - It sticks on the silver side --

218 20 50 31 CDR Yes, it - -

218 20 50 32 PLT-EVA - - it sticks where - right on the very edge


that's turned under.

218 20 50 35 SPT-EVA Yes, it's that seal. It's the edge seal that's
sticking together. Like it's sort of like - oh,
flour paste or something.

CDR And that'll Just pull the poles together. That


darn edge.

218 20 50 48 PLT-EVA So it'll - probably been, - wouldn't come loose.


But that was a good idea to pull them apart.

218 20 50 58 CDR Pull them apart and kind of bend them backwards
at those little seams.

218 20 51 09 SPT-EVA Hey, the poles are nice and stable, Jack. They're
not flopping.

218 20 51 ll PLT-EVA Thank you.

218 20 51 16 SPT-EVA As straight as a flagpole.

218 20 51 18 PLT-EVA It all appears to be unsticky up at this end.

218 20 51 23 SPT-EVA You know, sitting out here, looking over this
great big solar wing makes you feel like you're
in an airplane.

PLT-EVA Yes.
411

218 20 51 29 CDR Is that right?

218 20 51 B0 SPT-EVA Boy, you're really sailing.

218 20 51 34 PLT-EVA Does. (Laughter) That's what's nice about -


like looking out that STS window.

SPT-EVA Talk about the horizon now. I can see from edge
to edge and it looks like, you know, the whole
horizon Just - makes a full arc - -

218 20 51 49 CDR You're doing about 8 minutes of work, Jack.


There you go. Setting loose a line 8, 2 feet of
stroke and it - itself moves about an inch.

218 20 52 00 SPT-EVA Okay, but then you got to 8 minutes plus 3. We


have 8 minutes on the clock?

218 20 52 07 CDR What'd you say?

218 20 52 07 SPT-EVA How much is on the time-remaining clock?

218 20 52 i0 CDR I'll check.

218 20 52 13 CDE Twenty.

218 20 52 14 SPT-EVA Oh, I thought [_u said only 8 minutes.

218 20 52 16 CDR I say he's - I said he's doing eight times the
work.

218 20 52 25 PLT-EVA Doesn't appear to be sticking here.

218 20 52 29 CDR Good.

218 20 52 54 PLT-EVA Yes, they're coming apart nicely.

218 20 52 55 CDR Good.

CREW-EVA (Laughte r)

218 20 53 39 SPT-EVA They're up to a little bit more oscillation the


further out you get, of course.

218 20 53 h4 PLT-EVA Yes. I Just about got the other ring here.

218 20 54 07 PLT-EVA Well, there's the end we all been looking for.
412

218 20 54 Ii CDR Hey, you want me to read it to you?

218 20 54 21 CDR Attach these hooks to the clothesline rings with


double white lines on them, these locations.
Continue to deploy, retaining the reefing lines
in the sail bag. If sail hangs up_ back up
clotheslines, shake lines, and proceed. Do not
place undue stress on the rods. Verify clothesline
fully deployed, and verify pole locked in place.

218 20 54 45 CDR So when you get it fully out, let me know and I'll
read the rest.

218 20 54 53 SPT-EVA Better shake that accordion a little bit, Jack, to


make sure that those are going to separate
easily.

218 20 54 57 PLT-EVA Yes, I'll get this end, just like I did the other
end.

218 20 55 00 SPT-EVA I mean even up here. You know, these things have
not started separating much.

218 20 55 09 PLT-EVA Yes, I'll do that. Let me get this - . Okay,


thing done here first. It's too bad we can't Just
reach out and separate them.

218 20 55 20 SPT-EVA I expect the Sun will do something for it, too.

218 20 55 23 CDR 0nly if he can get on it. Kind of getting on the


edges there.

218 20 55 28 SPT-EVA It's getting out at the end - -

218 20 55 30 CDR Splitting them a little big at the end - -

218 20 55 32 SPT-EVA Yes, in fact, they're split apart at the ends quite
a ways.

218 20 55 35 CDR When you add that total force on there, that might
be a lot, though. You might put it out and it
might expand over the next few days.

218 20 55 49 CDR Ha! That's strange. We're supposed to of p_]led


one of these out of the bags the other day on
Earth.
413

218 20 56 06 CDR You're pulling them apart, huh, Jack? And


they pull apart pretty easy?

218 20 56 09 PLT-EVA I Just want to get this end like the other end.
Yes, I've pulled on a bunch of those and they seem
to come apart pretty easy.

218 20 56 17 CDR M_ybe it's the integrated force of all of them.


But I guess the poles haven't gotten tight enough
yet. We'll have to see; get some force on
the re.

218 20 56 33 CDR There you go. That broke it free a little bit.
Sure likes the set it's had for all these months.

218 20 56 53 CDR We're going to be - have to be careful when we


send it out, that it doesn't pull the poles close
enough together to break them.

218 20 57 00 SPT-EVA Seems to be up on the - your top part where it


_ does not want to separate- There it goes.

CDR There you go.

218 20 57 05 PLT-EVA Yes. It's going to separate.

218 20 57 08 SPT-EVA I think it is, too.

218 20 57 09 CDR You're going to have to work it, though.

SPT-EVA Better get this like that.

218 20 57 15 CDR There you go, Jack. You're doing great. Now
it's starting to crinkle and separate. Maybe
that Sun's get - hitting it and it's warming it up,
Just like Owen said. There you go.

218 20 57 25 SPT-EVA Putting out the sheaths.

218 20 57 27 CDR Yes.

218 20 59 3h SPT-EVA Foresail, mainsail, and Jib.

218 20 57 37 CDR Hey, way to go, Jack. Now that's getting it.
You get that baby out there, it'll do it now.
_ That's good.
414

218 20 57 48 PLT-EVA Where are we, Al?

218 20 57 50 CDR I don't know. I haven't been watching.

218 20 57 53 PLT-EVA ***like for 15 minutes, we've Just been crossing


water.

218 20 57 56 CDR Oh, probably going to be crossing it for more.


Let's see, let me tell you; I can tell you. We're
8 hours and 45 minutes from the last little set of
this plan. Find the little thing.

218 20 58 16 PLT-EVA Okay, now these poles have been moved in, somewhat
closer to - a little bit to each other.

218 20 58 19 CDR Yes. They may pull out when the Sun gets on this
thing. 8:45, we're coming up on South America
down near the tip - tip of Argentina. We'll be
there in 6 to 5 minutes.

SPT-EVA See what else we got. I'll slide it over a little -


one or two.

218 20 58 45 PLT-EVA Here's a place where it's really glued; it's on


the - side -

218 20 58 49 SPT-EVA Okay.

218 20 58 51 PLT-EVA - - with the - the white part underlaps.

218 20 59 07 CDR Okay, you guys have been out there 3 hours - and
maybe 30 minutes, I'm not sure. So let's get going.

218 20 59 19 PLT-EVA Okay, we're going.

218 20 59 22 SPT-EVA Hear that, J.?

PLT-EVA Hurry.

CDR Oh, I'm always in a hurry; you know me. Three


hours and 30 minutes. Yes.

SPT-EVA Have we been outside 3:30?

CDR You're right.

SPT-EVA I don't know whether we're even half through or


not.
415

PLT-EVA We might be half through.

218 20 59 37 CDR I think you' re half through because the rest


we can do. This brand new stuff right here
is tender. Just have to be careful we don't
lose the film and we'll do that other in a flash.

218 21 00 14 CDR Want you to try to get it out there in the


daytime so that Sun can hit it before it goes
down. Got 12 minutes.

218 21 00 20 PLT-EVA Plus about 3.

218 21 00 21 CDR Huh?

218 21 00 23 PLT-EVA Plus about 3.

CDR Yes. If that thing wants to get Sun on it and


we get it out there at night in the dark, it's
liable to be cold and not do the Job.
f

218 21 00 37 CDR It's getting out there, I guess. How's it doing?

218 21 O0 hl PLT-EVA A1, it's Just about out. It's about _ feet
from the tip of the pole - -

218 21 00 45 CDR Great.

218 21 00 _6 PLT-EVA - - and the poles are - are bent in a little bit,
probably a couple of feet each, p,1]Sed inward.

218 21 00 51 CDR How about the pleats? Are they accordioned out
somewhat? Are any of them stuck together?

218 21 00 59 PLT-EVA A couple in the middle did not appeal - appear


to be parted yet.

218 21 O1 06 CDR Don't let them bend in too close and break, now.
If need be, bring them back and shake the middle
ones out.

SPT-EVA Do it.

218 21 01 12 PLT-EVA Can do that. I think we'll have to do that.

f 218 21 01 16 SPT-EVA They don't appear to be in any danger of breaking


though.

218 21 01 19 CDR How can you tell?


416

218 21 01 20 SPT-EVA Because each pole is bent so very slightly.

218 21 01 23 CDR Oh. Okay.

218 21 01 38 PLT-EVA Well, I think we'll try to yank it all the way out
and decide what happens.

218 21 01 48 SPT-EVA Do you want to take it all the w_y out, first?

PLT-EVA No - -

218 21 01 53 CDR I'ii tell you what's going to happen. Get


it out there and then when you put on those end
sheaths to pull it out, that's going to tend to
split it out too. That's - oh - oh. Those are
coming together awful close.

PLT-EVA A1, I may have to reel it in.

218 21 02 ll SPT-EVA Well, I'd go ahead and pull it another foot.


That'saboutall that - is to go.

218 21 02 19 PLT-EVA Right. There you are.

218 21 02 20 CDR Is it at the end?

218 21 02 26 PLT-EVA Yes. It's at the end.

218 21 02 27 CDR How about the folds?

218 21 02 28 PLT-EVA It's about - only 60 percent of its normal diameter.

218 21 02 34 CDR How about the folds, though? Are the folds each
and every one of - are any of the folds stuck
together physically or are they all Just sort of
partially opened?

218 21 02 _2 SPT-EVA Some are partially open, some are not. But
it looks like they may be all trying to open.
Bit of Jostling like that, I think is some help.
Also, vibrate the poles a little bit. That'd help
too.

218 21 02 58 PLT-EVA Yes, that's what I was thinking. I did that once.

2_18 21 03 06 SPT-EVA Remember what those poles down at Marshall that


afternoon- one heck of a lot - - _-_
417

218 21 03 09 CDR Yes, they broke.

218 21 03 ll SPT-EVA Not while we were there.

218 21 03 13 CDR Yes, it did. S_nebody came out - Sure did.

218 21 03 27 SPT-EVA Coming out a little bit more each time there,
Jack, I thought.

218 21 03 30 PLT-EVA It's coming at me (laughter).

218 21 03 31 SPT-EVA Yes, I see it is now.

PLT-EVA Whoa boy.

218 21 03 34 CDR Yes. Some of those look like they're kind of


crinkled and need to be kind of pulled out manually.

218 21 04 22 CDR Looks like they're slowly coming out, doesn't it?

F_ 218 21 Oh 25 PLT-EVA I think so.

218 21 04 26 CDR Yes, I think so too, now.

218 21 05 0h CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear over the
Vanguard for 8 minutes.

218 21 05 09 SPT-EVA Okay, Story. You want to ta1_ to him, Jack, or


would you like -

218 21 05 15 PLT-EVA It's going kind of slow up here, Story. The -


bad news is because the folds are stuck together.
And had to reel them back in some - or pull them
back in to unstick the glue.

CDR Both poles are - -

218 21 05 34 CC Okay.

CDR - - both poles are fully deployed. He's Just


getting the sail out on them now. In fact, it's
been all the way out once and he's got them back
in again and they're now working on the pleats.

218 21 05 h8 CC Understand. The sail is stuck together in places?

218 21 05 51 PLT-EVA Yes.


418

218 21 05 54 CC And you did get the twists out of the lines?

218 21 05 56 PLT-EVA All complete.

218 21 05 58 CC That's another thing we solved, and you beat us


to it.

218 21 06 03 CDR How did you solve it?

218 21 06 05 CC We broke the pole in half between the two - the


two pulleys and moved the line that had a 180 in
it through the break and then reconnected the poles.

218 21 06 15 PLT-EVA That's just how we solved it. Congratulations.

218 21 06 18 CC Thank you, sir.

218 21 06 20 CDR What's happening is apparently at the front edge,


Story, and at the back edge of the sail where that
white material is, it sort of stuck together; and
we broke that apart manually. And then, kind of
fluffed up the mainsail material and sent it out.
But the rigidity of the poles is such that the
folded up material tends to pull the poles together
about as much as the poles tend to pull it apart;
in fact, exactly as much as, I guess. But the
whole point is, it doesn't completely come out
when it's out at the end of the pole. We've now
got the sail back and sort of flipping it a little
bit to make sure it's not sticking at any one fold.
In other words, no two faces of the fold are com-
pletely stuck together but they're all going to
accordion equally. Then get it out to the end
again, tie down the two end places, and I guess
the Sun will heat it up and cause the poles" forces
to expand until it's finally level. Do you think
that's true?

218 21 07 25 SPT-EVA Yes. It looks great now.

218 21 07 28 CC Okay, it sounds like you got that work under con-
trol, A_I, and I'll try to get you an answer on the
folds. And is there anything we can do for you
down here ?

218 21 07 36 PLT-EVA I Just yanked it all back in, Story, and - and
took the folds apart as much as I could, and it
looks like it's doing better now.
419

218 21 07 46 SPT-EVA Yes.

218 21 07 51 PLT-EVA I can only see one pleat. In fact, it Just opened
up partly now. A]] pleats are partly expanded.

218 21 07 55 CDR Good deal, that does it. Some of the pleats are
of course fully - -

218 21 08 00 CC Okay, great. And when you deploy the reefing


lines out to the dog bones out there, that'll
help to pull those poles apart too.

218 21 08 l0 PLT-EVA Roger, Story.

2_18 21 08 15 CDR Everything's going on good up here. They're work-


ing at a slow, steady pace and nobody's tired, so
I have a feeling that the last half is going to go
a little bit faster. We were most concerned about
this one because we didn't want to lose any parts.

_ 218 21 08 30 CC Okay.

218 21 09 16 CREW-EVA Oh. boy.

218 21 09 29 PLT-EVA Okay, I got it clipped off, AI.

218 21 09 30 CDR Good. Both of them?

218 21 09 32 PLT-EVA Yes.

218 21 09 33 CDR Excellent, Jack. All the way out to the end too,
huh?

218 21 09 36 PLT-EVA Got it all the way to the end.

218 21 09 39 CDR Okay, now. I'll be reading you the next step,
old chap. That's great, Jack. Just super. Okay.
Secure clotheslines with the alligator clips lo-
cated on the base. Adjust friction knobs, two,
for light friction. Rotate sail plate with the
sail positioning knob - -

218 21 09 56 CC CDR, Houston.

218 21 09 59 PLT-EVA Let me get it.

218 21 l0 01 CDR Go ahead.


420

218 21 i0 06 CDR Go ahead, Story.

218 21 l0 09 CC Okay, A1. The temperatures in the TV camera are


climbing up here, and we'd like for it not to run
during the next hour when we're LOS. And it's
easier fo_ you to do that than for them to turn
the switch off in the airlock module by opening
the circuit breaker, and that's on panel 202,
TELEVISION POWER, AM. You might open that until
the next station pass.

218 21 l0 31 CDR Good idea. Will do, Story.

218 21 l0 34 CC Okay.

218 21 l0 38 SPT-EVA Hey, Story, you know whether or not - -

218 21 i0 39 CDR I Just opened it.

218 21 l0 40 SPT-EVA Is there any down-link video being recorded at


that time?

218 21 lO 46 CC That's affirmative. We don't have real-time TV


here, but it is now being down-linked.

218 21 l0 49 SPT-EVA Okay, if the picture's any good, why - or not any
good, well, I can adjust it for them up here. I
Just didn't know what the quality was.

218 21 lO 59 CC Okay, we'll get a call for you as soon as we can.

218 21 ll 0h CDR Okay, now. I thought you wanted that circuit


breaker opened now. You want me to leave it in
now until we go out of contact?

218 21 ll 14 CC You can leave it open now, A1.

218 21 ll 17 CDR Okay, it's open.

218 21 ll 20 PLT-EVA Okay, A1, I'm ready to go down to the dog bone.

218 21 ll 22 CDR Ready to dog bone it. Okay, babe? How are the
EVA lights out there, Jack?

218 21 ii 27 PLT-EVA Huh?

218 21 ll 28 CDR Are there adequate EVA lighting out there?


421

218 21 ll 30 PLT-EVA Well, if they're not, I'll Just stop.

218 21 ll 31 CDR Okay.

218 21 ll 35 PLT-EVA All right.

218 21 ll 37 CDR Okay, let me find the spot, Jack.

218 21 ll 38 PLT-EVA I didn't rotate this down, now. Maybe I'd better
rotate it Just a little bit.

218 21 ll _3 CDR Let me tell if you're supposed to. You're supposed


to do this. Rotate sail plate with the sail
positioning - -

218 21 ll 50 CC We don't mean to hurry you, PLT, but down here it


looks like you got about a minute and a half of
day remaining to take a look at that power transfer
distribution box.

_ 218 21 ll 58 PLT-EVA Well_ I'm not going to make it this time around,
buddy.

218 21 12 02 CC Okay.

218 21 12 03 CDR Adjust fric - good - good answer - adjust friction


knobs, two, for light friction, rotate sail until
the sail positioning knob - until the sail pushes
aft end of parasol down and Just touches the nearest
rod of parasol.

218 21 12 16 PLT-EVA Yes, but I think we ought to - -

218 21 12 19 CDR Why don't we follow the procedures?

218 21 12 20 PLT-EVA Okay, we will. But I think what's going to


happen is we're taking a chance on - getting
it all the way down and then, when I go to
reef it, catching it on something ....

218 21 12 32 CDR Well, maybe that's going to happen if you do it


the other way. You're _oing to reef it, then try
to put it down, and the reefing lines are going
to put tension on it, and you can't push it down.
422

218 21 12 39 SPT-EVA Well, I'Ii tell you, you're already there right
now, because one of the fishing rod poles did not
extend, as you know, on the parasol and that means
the forward edge - this leading edge has been raised
up and it's resting on the pole right now.

218 21 12 53 CDR Yes, but that doesn't count. We're supposed to


push it down to the normal level.

218 21 12 57 CC And, Skylab, we're 30 seconds to LOS. We'll see


you at Hawaii in about an hour and 7 minutes, at
22:10. All your systems are looking good.

218 21 13 05 PLT-EVA Okay, Story. Thank you.

218 21 13 14 CDR That was Just an artifact, 0.

218 21 13 16 SPT-EVA Okay, I understand. Made out of my vision.

218 21 1B 40 CDR How's it pushing, Jack?

218 21 13 42 PLT-EVA I'm Just getting the knob engaged.

218 21 iB 43 CDR Okay.

218 21 13 46 SPT-EVA Tighten it or to loosen it?

218 21 13 49 PLT-EVA It's about - not there.

218 21 13 50 CDR Tighten it again, down.

218 21 13 51 PLT-EVA Okay.

218 21 13 56 SPT-EVA Hey, looks like the poles are kind of resting on
the upper edge of the parasol. Can't tell too
well, myself.

218 21 14 1B SPT-EVA I don't think this is going to change the thermal


environment of this cluster at all.

218 21 lh 17 CDR I'll bet it does. Why? It doesn't cover enough


or something?

218 21 14 21 SPT-EVA It covers essentially the same thing that the


parasol covers.

218 21 I_ 23 CDR That's right, but it's undegraded. It's better


material and better this, that, and the other.
&23

218 2_114 28 SPT-EVA Hey, do you think - I didn't notice any degradation
on the parasol.

218 21 14 32 CDR Apparently it did, though. I don't either but -


also now you got two insulated blankets. Plus,
this one'll stay forever, and that other one, I
guess, they were afraid wouldn't.

218 21 14 50 SPT-EVA If anything leaked through the other, why -

218 21 14 53 CDR Yes, it's kind of a double radiation lay - like


two layers of super insulation is what it is,
instead of one.

218 21 14 59 SPT-EVA But if the first one reflects 99 percent, then the
second one really doesn't make much difference.
But it may not do that, of course. Maybe it only
reflects 50 *** take another big chunk or some-
thing; I don't know.

218 21 15 12 CDR You push it and it looks like it comes back.

218 21 15 19 CDR Careful, those are breakable.

218 21 15 21 PLT-EVA I'm Just pushing them very gently. Yes - -

CDR Okay -

PLT-EVA - - it does come back.

218 21 15 26 CDR You got to take up little - -

218 21 15 27 SPT-EVA Okay, you're coming down. You're coming down, Jack -
Jack.

9_18 21 15 32 PLT-EVA I think I'm going to screw it a little more.

218 21 15 35 SPT-EVA Okay. Looks like the leading edge of the parasol
is down within about a foot of the workshop, so I
asst_ne that the back end must be flush.

218 21 15 h5 PLT-EVA Maybe I should leave it there until we see it better.

218 21 15 48 SPT-EVA Well, you're awful close anyway. I - I don't - it


Just springs up now to maybe 3 feet off the front
_ edge.
427

218 21 15 59 CDR Wasn't the rule, say bring it down until it's -
the - the poles just touch the front edge height.
Isn't that it?

218 21 16 06 SPT-EVA The back ends are supposed to be down and


the front ends are supposed to be Just touching.

218 21 16 09 CDR That's it. And not the front edge that's
sticking way up in the air, but the one
that's sort of normal. The horizontal one.

218 21 16 16 PLT-EVA Yes. The problem is, right now, A1, I can't
see it.

218 21 16 19 SPT-EVA Okay, well the - the one that's nearest


you - -

218 21 16 20 CDR You got a penlight in your pocket, on your


sleeve. If you can get to it; maybe you
can't get to it.

218 21 16 28 SPT-EVA That wouldn't be any good with the EVA


lighting we've got. It's much brighter
than a penlight.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA I can see it now. I bet, Jack, that this


leading edge is 3 feet off the SWS.

218 21 16 40 PLT-EVA Okay, how does the leading edge of the - parasol
look? Does it look like it -

218 21 16 46 SPT-EVA It's down below the poles, for some reason.
It looks like when you pushed them down, they
sort of stayed down - down.

218 21 16 52 PLT-EVA Good. So the poles might be holding them down.

218 21 16 56 SPT-EVA It could be holding it from the back or


something.

218 21 17 00 PLT-EVA Oh, now I can see a little better. Okay.


425

Now you're about to get it, babe. You're


about to get - that's what's holding it
down; it is. The leading - your poles are
within a foot of the SWS. It's holding it
down now.

218 21 17 l0 CDR Excellent. What you can do when you get


this spot is tighten it; go put out the dog
bone and then if you have to tighten it a
fraction or a little bit more, then, you
know, in sunlight again, you can.

218 21 17 22 PLT-EVA Yes.

, 218 21 17 23 CDR You got plenty of light out there at those


places.

218 21 17 26 SPT-EVA I think that's Just about what the specs


called for right there, Jack, and you may
want to touch it up a little bit tomorrow.

218 21 17 38 PLT-EVA Okay, let's see, I'm going to ease up on


the dog bone here.

218 21 17 40 CDR Hey, wait a minute, now. Aren't you going


to tighten that thing up?

218 21 17 44 PLT-EVA Yes, I did tighten it down, A1.

218 21 17 46 CDR Yes, but how about the two side ones?

218 21 17 47 PLT-EVA No, I didn't tighten them.

in the checklist. We're ... right now.

218 21 18 15 CDR Well, now, let's see here. That thing goes
around the dog bone and the question you

don't know which is correct, but you'll be
able to see out there.

So you might want to -

218 21 30 l0 CDR Be careful, Jack, you're moving those poles


around,babe. You'reputting too much force
on it - bending the poles. You're going to
have to take your tether off that red hook

218 21 30 27 PLT-EVA Yes, maybe it'll come to me.

218 2_130 36 CDR There you go. Should have hooked the tether

218 21 40 04 PLT-EVA Just a minute.

218 21 40 05 CDR Okay, I'm Just telling you, everything you got
out there, stow. Jack needs to put it in the
AM, pretty far back, where he got them. No need

need to tether them during transfer.

218 21 40 25 PLT-EVA Okay, 0., it's loose at this end. Got it loose

PLT-EVA Still got your gold visor down too, if you want
any better visibility.

SPT-EVA Yes. Thanks.

218 21 41 51 CDR Probably why he couldn't see the poles, now


that you think about it.

PLT-EVA Okay, what else you got?

218 21 41 58 SPT-EVA Well, let's see. That's about it, isn't it?

218 2/ 42 l0 PLT-EVA Next one.

218 21 42 12 CDR Okay, let me read now. Foot restraints, we got


to do, and tying that thing down, we got to do. _--_
Let's don't forget that. Okay, remove clothesline
stowage container, two, from temp stow - okay,
stow rod.

218 21 42 24 CDR Pick up with normal EVA procedures. Okay, S149.


Hand him 149.

CDR 149 is passed to EV-I. Stow 149 on F-6 handrail -

SPT-EVA Tether -

CDR - - near clothesline clip.

SPT-EVA Get your tether.


439

218 21 42 56 PLT-EVA F-10, where's that?

218 21 h2 59 CDR F-6 handrail near the clothesline clip.

SPT-EVA Didn't think you wanted it - You want all this


stuff double tethered?

218 21 43 07 CDE You bet.

218 21 43 08 SPT-EVA Okay.

218 21 h3 13 CDR Wait a minute; I take that back. You don't have
to double tether this stuff. In fact, what you
ought to do with your tethers is not put them
up, but hook them back on your sleeve. So you
don 't - -

SPT-EVA It was hooked.

218 21 43 25 CDR - - No, I'm talking about O. - Jack, so both ends


are hooked on his sleeve. He's got it swinging
free. It gets in his way.

218 21 43 31 PLT-EVA Okay. And now that goes up there somewhere, I


think, but I don't see any F-6 on it, but I think
that 's it.

SPT-EVA That 's F-6.

218 21 43 37 CDR Near clothesline clip. Experiment towards EVA-l,


it says there.

SPT-EVA Experiment towards me, okay. Now it turns out


that's where I left that extra clip. So I won't
be able to tether this thing while it's there,
which I think is a good idea, because this thing
could get knocked all off - quite easily.

218 21 43 54 PLT-EVA It ain't got a tether on it.

218 21 43 55 SPT-EVA No, but that - I left that one extra that we had
out here right on F-6.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Go aheadand tetherit. Okay.

218 21 hh 00 PLT-EVA You know how it goes on the handrail there?

SPT-EVA No, I don't.

SPT-EVA Oh, that's right.

PLT-EVA - - and it'll snap shut.

SPT-EVA I remember.

218 21 4h 31 PLT-EVA And then you got to put that little block thing

SPT-EVA Yes. I remember. Lock, lock.

218 21 44 h4 CDR Okay, Jack, as soon as you're free, get the VS

Okay, I got that.

218 21 hh 5h CDR Okay, whenever he's ready, you can take it and
put it where it belongs.

218 21 hh 57 SPT-EVA I'm J,_m_ng that thing, but it doesn't Jam on

here by the time -

218 21 46 2h SPT-EVA Well, that's fine, A1, but we're going too fast'

CDR I agree. I agree.

218 21 h6 28 SPT-EVA This darn stuff is as important as the other.

218 21 h6 31 CDR Maybe more important. Work at the speed you


think best. Tell me when you want some more
instructions.

218 21 h6 45 CDR Clip that down at this end, Jack. Way down here,

CDR Can't beat that. Okay, then. Deploy the center


boom a foot. Verify boom hook unlocked and
everything's dandy with the boom hooks, like
it's locked on there real good. Unstow 56 from
VC tree, attach 56 to boom and shoot it down there.

218 21 49 59 SPT-EVA Extended 1 foot; boom hook is unlocked; it's


straightened out. Now I think I'm going to have
to reclamp his t_nbilical or else it's going to

218 21 50 27 CDR You can describe it when we - after the music.

SPT-EVA Okay. Now, you think we ought to take another


foot out of that ttnbilical, Jack? I'll try to
get it around there.

218 21 50 36 CDR Give him some slack. He's got to lean back and
things.

218 21 50 38 SPT-EVA He's already got his clamped, so this doesn't


have anything to do with his slack.

CDR Okay.

218 21 50 42 SPT-EVA Okay, you're ready for S056, aren't you?

PLT-EVA I am ready.

218 21 51 28 PLT-EVA Hey, I asked you about those dog bones.

CDR I don't have any way to know from here, Jack.

218 21 51 34 PLT-EVA I think we got the right ones.

SPT-EVA I don't see how there could be any others.

PLT-EVA Yes, those are the ones. Those are the ones we
did in the trainer, anyway. There is some other
kind of dog hones over there where the ATM swung
around and pivoted off the _OA there.

2i8 21 51 52 CDR Shoot it down. Everybody's waiting for you.

218 21 51 56 PLT-EVA Well, there's a little - round - those - Okay,

218 21 58 19 PLT-EVA Okay, I see you up there.

CDR Now, you got to lean - Where did you go?

PLT-EVA I - I see you with the camera in the window. Let


me see if I can get a betterpositionout here.

CDR Yes, I don't know if I can get one or not.

218 21 58 40 CDR Stay right there. I'll - I have to do some


maneuvering here. Maybe we can, maybe we can't.
I can give it a go. This may not work, Jack, but
it may.

PLT-EVA Turn it upside down.

PLT-EVA Oh, that's the electric. It doesn't work.

PLT-EVA Yes, okay.

218 21 59 03 CDR Just a minute. I'll try to get a focus on you.


It's hard for me to get in there, too.

PLT-EVA I'd say about 12 feet.

CDR Okay, that's a good idea; I had it set at 13.

PLT-EVA I can tell you when you got it pointing at me.

218 21 59 18 CDR Okay, I'll try to keep it out of the shade. See,
that's the problem. I can't get it pointing at
/_ you and in - the lens in the shade. I'll Just
take a chance.
45O

PLT-EVA Take a chance - Right there is perfect.

CDR I'm taking a couple here. How does it look for a


lens in the Sun?

PLT-EVA Headed.

CDR Huh?

PLT-EVA It 's he aded.

218 21 59 41 CDR Okay, let me try it again. Am I pointing at you?

PLT-EVA Okay, you're pointing it down a little bit toward


the end - the front end of the - toward the com-
mand module. There, out to your ... *** left back
a little bit - other way - other way - other way
a little more - a little more. Okay, that's it.

CDR Get a couple more; Just hold on.

218 22 00 15 CDR Here we go, Jack. Smile.

PLT-EVA Did you take your camera checkout while you were
the re ?

CDR Well, he didn't tell me to. Just a minute. Let


me give it a check. Maybe he wants me to do it
later or sanething. Lean back and - no, we're
going to do it in a minute.

PLT-EVA Okay.
451

218 22 01 06 PLT-EVA Okay, here we come around to align the Sun end.
How am I going to eat all that food before I go
to bed? That's - -

SPT-EVA I don 't know.

PLT-EVA - - lunch and dinner both.

218 22 O1 17 SPT-EVA I don't know, but you have earned it. Just eat
what you please.

SPT-EVA Okay ?

CDR Let me know when you're at the Sun end.

SPT-EVA Okay, about a couple of feet to go yet.


... passed S054?

PLT-EVA No, it's the next one around, I think, O.

SPT-EVA Okay, let me see what the next one -

PLT-EVA ... on this position, this is the time to go


around and look at that - -

CDR Not yet. We'll do it in a minute. Just hold on.


We'll get you - We'll get you there, Jack. I got
a little readout for you, Just as soon as you
finally get to the Sun end. Got ahead on the
checklist awhile ago, and got - -

218 22 02 13 PLT-EVA Okay, there's Sun end.

I wonder what that does, 0.?

SPT-EVA Well, it'll take only one frame.

CDH No, it says FRAMES REMAINING indicator decreases


by i0.

SPT-EVA Okay, I guess it counts down as long as you're


holding it down that way.

CDR Yes, it - it is.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR It's working okay, Jack. Good installation, babe.

218 22 0h l0 CDR Probably have to because the doors aren't open,

Here's - here's what you got to do. Unclamp your
own LSU. Now here's what I want you to do.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 22 05 07 CDR Egress foot restraints and translate to right


around CMG number 2. Keep your feet towards the
Sun. Now when you're - you get ready to - for me
to tell you more, let me know.

218 22 05 27 CDR To your right.

PLT-EVA Okay, give me a little rope there, O.

SPT-EVA I'm giving it to you.

PLT-EVA Okay.
453

218 22 05 40 CDR Okay. Oh, I'ii get a picture of you there in a


few minutes, Jack. That's better, babe.

PLT-EVA Okay, I'm past CMG number 2.

218 22 05 48 CDR Okay, now. Let me read. Power transfer distri-


butor is 90 degrees right of VC at upper right.
So when you finally get 90 degrees away, which
you are right now, incidentally, look at upper
right. Use horizontal member launch restraint
for SAS panel as handhold. Now you got that?

PLT-EVA I'm getting up to it.

CDR All right.

PLT-EVA Yes, it's about chest level or head level. Okay,


here I am. I look at the top, right?

218 22 06 19 CDR Wait a minute. Use vertical member to translate


towards Sun to see Sun end. Examine the Sun-end
area of that box you're looking at. Let me get
the picture, and I'll tell you all about it.

PLT-EVA Okay, I'm looking at the Sun end of that box.

CDR Okay, walt a minute. I'll read it to you. Now,


here's your head. I got a little picture here.

218 22 06 52 CDR I - I'm floating all over the place. Let me find
it, though; find your foot restraints. Okay,
here you go, Jack. What you want to look at is
this box and you want to look like - at area 1
which, as you look at it - now the box is located
to the upper right. That's the big box to the
upper right.

218 22 07 lh PLT-EVA I got the box. I'm looking underneath it right


now at all the wire bundles - I think it's an
area 2.

CDR Area 2 says, "Grayish residue on cabling near


gas ports - possible."

PLT-EVA Gas ports - gas ports. I don't see any - Well,


_ there'ss_me gas ports. Some kind of - of
residue, huh? On the cabling?
454

CDR That's what it said. No, it says, "In the - near


the gas ports. "

PLT-EVA Well, there's no residue around the gas ports.


It's all very clean. The gas ports have screens
in them with little holes in the middle -

CDR That's it.

218 22 07 55 PLT-EVA The screens are also clean. There's no discolor-


ation whatsoever.

CDR Okay, now take a look at the left eye, which is


area l, for scorched spots around fuse module-
mounting screws.

PLT-EVA Fuse module. It says heater assembly. There's


no scorch there.

PLT-EVA No, A1, there's nothing scorched here.

218 22 08 35 CDR Okay, that's also a good - Do any other general


inspection you want. Also look back. It's a
good place to view quad B.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Look back at our old command module and see if


you see anything of interest there.

218 22 09 Oh PLT-EVA Well, the old command module, sir - now let me
describe that - It's getting a little brown
around the hatch. Some places are browner than
the others. There's a - it all looks a little
bit tan. Everything, as a matter of fact, on
the MDA and - everything exposed to the Sun is
a little bit tanned. The command module is not
as tanned as the rest because it hasn't been
there as long, but the command module itself's
got some dis - some tan discoloration on it. It's
more pronounced and it's got a line running -
in a line below the hatch around the circumference
and then up between your rendezvous and docking
window and then along in front of your docking
window circumferentially along the upper edge of
the hatch and it kind of stops over by my -
over by my rendezvous window .... - -
455

218 22 l0 01 CDR Okay, wait a minute. I've got some music to


play here. I'll wake them up. How are you
reading there, Story?

CC We're reading you loud and clear through Hawaii


for l0 minutes. How did you know we were here?

CDR Thought I heard some noises.

(Music : "Marine Anthem" )

218 22 l0 26 CC And, A1, to view same TV here, we'd like on


panel 202, TELEVISION POWER AM, CLOSED.

CDR Go ahead, Jack. You got it, babe.

218 22 ll 02 PLT-EVA Okay, Story. I'm hanging out here from a - from
a - Okay, trying to work with the VC on the ATM,
and I'm hanging on this side here by this box
you wanted me to look over. And I see no evidence
of discolorationand I see no evidenceof any
residue around those vent ports, whatsoever.
This box that you wanted me to look at looks
very much intact. I am looking at the command
module now. Sure is neat to hang out here in the
breeze with one arm and Just kind of drift along
with this thing as it's streaking the ground. I
noticed on the command module itself, there's -
and on the whole spacecraft for a matter - that
matter, Skylab - everything ex - that is exposed
to the Sun is turning tan - very much a tan color.
That which is not exposed to the Sun is still white.
On the command module, it's starting to turn tan
a little bit. Also some discoloration on the part
that looks at the Sun. And then there's a darker
218 22 12 09 brown line, not dark brown but a darker tan, that
runs underneath the hatch circumferentially over
to a point - near Al's - rendezvous and docking
window and his sidewindow and then it runs up
between those two windows. And then back around -
along circumferentially along the top of the
hatch over to my rendezvous window. Now, it's
pretty hard to see quad B as well as quad A. I
notice that both A and B - the quad package itself
appears from this point to be pitted. And it
f 218 22 12 5h appears to have been heated rather well on the
sort of cubicalstructureu_pon which the - the
thrusters are mounted. The skin around quad A
456

is blistered and some of it has flaked off. That's


Just the outer layer at quad B, Just around the
edge a little bit. Let's see. Anything else
you want to know about the quads? There's some -
a little bit of paint missing around the quads -
quad A, that is; and it's probably pretty much
the way that you expect it to be. I notice the
SPS engine bell appears as though it has been
heated rather well, which it has. Its - outside
is - is discolored and brown and kind of black
and the paint's coming off, but that's also to
be expected. Let's see; anything else you want
to know about the command module from this vantage
point before I whip around the other end?

218 22 14 04 CC Okay, stand by on that, Jack. And we're showing


that you have rolled the canister, 82 A and B doors
are open. Have you finished at the Sun end?

PLT-EVA Oh, no. We' re - we have to go to the Sun end yet.

CC 0kay.

PLT-EVA If you haven't got any more for me to do in


this area, I'll get around to the Sun end.

218 22 14 26 SPT-EVA The center work station checks are complete, Story,
including the checkout of the H-alpha and S056
magazines.

CDR Jack, come up a little higher. You loose ... - -

CC Okay, you can press on, Jack.

218 22 14 39 PLT-EVA Okay, and in working around here, it's probably


worthwhile to compare working in a zero g here
with working in the water tank. And probably
the biggest thing I've noticed in comparing the
two is that it's one heck of a lot further to
the bottom of the pool.

218 22 14 56 CDR (Laughter) Great. Hey, Jack, get higher. You're


going to have better luck there.

CC Copy that. We'll tell them to make it bigger.

CDR That a boy!


_57

PLT-EVA Did you get our music?

CC No, we're not getting that.

PLT-EVA Earlier.

218 22 15 17 CC Don't hear it, but I guess it was a Space Odyssey,


was it ?

PLT-EVA It was better than that.

CC Okay, we haven't heard it today.

218 22 15 28 CDR Okay, Jack, let me read you something when you
get back to your normal EVA station, the VC.

PLT-EVA Here I am.

218 22 15 33 CDR Okay, here it is. Okay, observe the surface


areas of the STS and MDA for any discolorations
which may indicatecoolantleaks. Okay? ...
brown vapor deposits may be distinguishable.

218 22 15 49 PLT-EVA Well, like I said, the whole side facing the Sun
is a little bit tan and right - I notice that
there are some extra brown spots right behind the
Joint where the ATM is butted up against the -
the temporary structure. They are sort of tri-
angular in shape and about 4 inches by 2 inches
and - -

(Music : Reveille )

PLT-EVA - - and there are Just a few spots, about four


or five of them, where the discoloration is
greater there than the rest of the vehicle.

CDR How about above the EVA hatch towards the STS?

218 22 16 39 CC Copy that, Jack, and while I've got you there,
Just a reminder. When you're cranking open the
S149, to do that extremely slowly because there's
a tremendous gearing down coming from the motor
to the mechanism and the motor speeds up very
rapidly when you're cranking that experiment open.
F
PLT-EVA Okay. I really can't see any evidence of any
_lycol streaming, Story, on the side of the MDA.
458

CDR Did you look above the EVA- -

CC Okay.

218 22 17 06 CDR Look above the EVA hatch, Jack.

(Musi c : Reveille )

PLT-EVA Okay, let me see - -

CC SPT, Houston.

SPT-EVA Go ahead.

218 22 17 22 CC 0wen, we're getting a good TV picture right now.


We wonder if you could pan the TV picture out in
line with the hatch moving out toward the command
module where the thermal shield meets the STS?

218 22 17 36 SPT-EVA I don't think I can move it very far because we


don't have much cable on here. We've got it all _-_
taped. I - I can give it a try, but it won't move
very far.

218 22 17 45 CDR Okay, Jack. Are you ready to press on to the


next one?

CC Leave it where it is, 0wen.

SPT-EVA Okay, we don't have more than nearly 6 inches


of cable on it.

PLT-EVA I don't see anything that looks like a leak on


the side of the MDA anywhere.

CDR Okay, and not above the EVA hatch?

CC Okay, we'll get this stuff the next EVA.

PLT-EVA No, I don't.

218 22 18 01 CDR Okay. Egress VC and translate to VT, going over


top of twin poles. Okay?

PLT-EVA Okay, let me go around over the top.

CDR Okay, while we're on the way, how about, 0., _-_
check your EMU status, babe.
459

8PT-_CA 3.6; no lights.

CDR Okay, Jack can check his once he gets there.

PLT-EVA Oh, I got the ssme.

CDR All right.

218 22 18 45 PLT-EVA Okay, you got m_ L_nbilical there, 0.?

SPT-EVA Yes, you're coming by.

PLT-EVA I went over top, wherever that is (laughter).

SPT-EVA Over the top of the water tank.

218 22 18 55 PLT-EVA Boy, Big O's been doing a sterling Job here
today. He's going to bring new lift into tens
of thousands of senior citizens all over the
country.

SPT-EVA (Laughter) Is that right? That's great'


That 's great '

2_18 22 19 08 CDR Rotate and ingress VT foot restraints. O., how


about - -

SPT-EVA I'm trying to figure out a return compliment.

CDR Hey, how about - -

PLT-EVA You'll think of one.

CDR SUN END BOOM, EXTEND approximately - -

CC I couldn't answer that at all.

PLT-EVA ... like to walk back for it, Al.

218 22 19 25 CDR Yes. Extend approximately i foot. Deploy boom


hook and verify boom hook unlocked.

SPT-EVA Let me get these umbilicals snapped here ....

PLT-EVA Excuse me.

SPT-EVA0kay.
46o

218 22 19 42 CDR When you got the hook checked out, by deploying
the hook and verifying it's unlocked, remove
VS tree from receptacle and attach VS tree to
boom - -

218 22 19 51 CC Skylab, we're 30 seconds to LOS. We'll see you


over Vanguard in 23 minutes. We'll be dumping
the tape recorders over Vanguard. And, A1, if
you could open up that circuit breaker,
TELEVISION POWER AM on panel 202 again for us, it
would be fine.

CDR Okay.

218 22 20 21 CDR Give you a little appropriate music to the effort


that they did out there today, I believe.

PLT-EVA That a boy, 0.

218 22 20 35 (Music: "Marine Anthem")

218 22 20 40 CC Okay, we're getting the music now, troops.

218 22 20 45 PLT-EVA I know Story will stand at attention for that,


being a marine.

(Music : "Marine Anthem" )

218 22 21 26 SPT-EVA Okay you ready for that tree?

PLT-EVA Let it fly, 0.

218 22 21 29 SPT-EVA Here you are.

PLT-EVA Okay, you're doing great, 0. You're a good


boom operator. Got that little wrench on there.

218 22 22 15 CDR How does the sail and everything look, Jack?

PLT-EVA *** by. Hold it.

218 22 22 21 CDR No hurry.

PLT-EVA Okay, just a little bit more, O.


461

218 22 22 23 SPT-EVA Okay, I want to make a note on the next


checklist here, too. Just a minute. Oh' A1,
we want to note, the next time we send that
tree back or forth, that the foot of the lock
goes toward the ATM.

PLT-EVA A little more, A1. Oh, about another foot.

CDR Foot of lock towards ATM?

218 22 22 46 PLT-EVA *** better words on it.

CDR Give me some better ones and I'ii write it in.

PLT-EVA Okay, what do we what to call the -

CDR Bottom? Base ?

SPT-EVA Yes, base -

f-_ 218 22 22 57 PLT-EVA I got it. Take it away, 0. Take it somewhere,


anyway.

PLT-EVA Just back a little bit, I guess. Because I'm


going to give you this back in a minute.

SPT-EVA Yes. So we want the base of the tree toward ATM.


It turns out when you lock it in this way, the
base of that tree hits one of these EVA lights.
Just nicks it by about a half an inch.

218 22 23 24 CDR Apparently it doesn't really make any difference


then.

SPT-EVA Well, I had to hold the boom with my hand out to


one side in order to clear it.

218 22 23 29 PLT-EVA Okay, I got it in there and locked.

CDR Okay, let me tell you what to do next, as if you


didn't know. It's in and locked okay, huh?

218 22 23 39 SPT-EVA Right.

218 22 23 40 CDR Okay. Remo - Unclamp EV-2 LSU and provide slack
for VS transfer. Egress VT foot restraints,
r_ ingressVS foot restraints. Remove slack and
clamp at 35 feet, Big O.
462

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR Now monitor his goodies.

218 22 23 56 PLT-EVA Okay, l'm climbing up to the front end of this


telescope here. The Sun's bright out here today,
Story.

CDR He's gone.

PLT-EVA He's gone, eh? Okay.

218 22 24 08 CDR The reason they didn't get the music is I didn't
punch down the transmit button. I did the second
time, though. Thought it'd be nice if it faded
off into the distance.

218 22 24 16 PLT-EVA Did that Just right. Okay, I'm in the foot
restraints. Man' What a grand feeling to be
up here - -

CDR Above it all

PLT-EVA - - really on top of the world.

CDR Can you look down and see it?

218 22 24 27 PLT-EVA Oh, yes'

CDR Gosh dog'

PLT-EVA Looks like it's all water:

218 22 24 30 SPT-EVA Well, it probably is.

CDR Okay, here we go. How about a little status check?

SPT-EVA *** gave you one.

CDR How about another one?

218 22 24 40 SPT-EVA 3.6, no lights.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA And same for me, A1.


463

218 22 24 44 CDR Okay. Open 82A ATM door, push button and rotate
handle to UNLOCK.

PLT-EVA 82A, push button. Rotate to UNLOCK.

218 22 24 53 PLT-EVA Done.

CDR Move locking handle to RELEASE mag.

218 22 25 04 PLT-EVA Okay, I got the door open.

CDR Okay now. Unlock and open S082A container door.

218 22 25 l0 PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR The container - not - not the real one, but the
container we just sent up.

218 22 25 16 PLT-EVA Right.

F_ 23-822 25 17 CDR And remove 82A from container.

PLT-EVA You don't want the door open on the experiment -


on the ATM?

CDR 82A ATM door should be open and then we should go


to the magazine thing.

218 22 25 30 PLT-EVA Okay. I'm going over to the magazine thing.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA **'82A on it.

CDR Remove 82A from container.

218 22 25 39 PLT-EVA *** moving it from the container.

23_8 22 25 44 CDR It says, Install partially, extend handle by


depressing release button and push fully into

and verify white flag completely visible.

218 22 26 31 PLT-EVA All right. I got it locked, and it's completely


visible.

CDR Close and lock 82A ATM door.

218 22 26 36 PLT-EVA *** locked - done.

CDR Openthe 82BATM door.

PLT-EVA 82B.

218 22 27 05 CDR Unlock and open S082B container door.

218 22 27 08 PLT-EVA Okay, it's unlocked.

CDR Remove 82B from container. Install partially,


and extend both handles after they're in there,
and then finally push it into the receiver until
white flag partially visible.

PLT-EVA Okay, very carefully, making sure I don't let


go - magazine.

218 22 27 29 CDR At least you're not hanging on your head, huh,


Jack ?
465

PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR Let me tell you how much more daylight you got,
Jack; 18 minutes.

PLT-EVA What ?

218 22 27 38 CDR Eighteen minutes. Let me know when you got it

gently.

218 22 28 02 PLT-EVA White flag is partially visible.

218 22 28 08 CDR Okay. Move 82A locking handle down to LOCK


position and verify white flag completely visible.

CDR We got a mistake in here.

218 22 28 27 PLT-EVA Okay, she's completely visible.

CDR Close and lock - doors.

218 22 28 35 PLT-EVA Closed.

218 22 28 38 CDR Okay, close and lock 82A and B container doors.

218 22 28 h3 PLT-EVA Okay. I got the big door closed and now I'm
closing the container doors.

CDR Reposition clear of aperture doors and advise


EV-3 ready for magazine ops checks, if you are,
in fact, ready.

PLT-EVA Just a minute.

218 22 29 04 PLT-EVA Okay, the container doors are closed and locked.

CDR All right. Everything is copacetic.

PLT-EVA Okay.
466

218 22 29 09 CDR Let me now make the checks, and then we'll tell
you what's next. Don't do anything early.

CDR They're closing, huh?

PLT-EVA 0ops' I thought it was the other door. It's


open.

218 22 29 5h CDR Okay, now the door is gray. Is it open? Okay,


well that's why. It just cycled. Okay, let's
get it in phase now. READY OPERATE light, READY

SPT-EVA Okay, did the doors open in those, Jack?

PLT-EVA Yes, sir. They - I got three holes here.

218 22 30 33 SPT-EVA Okay, were you in EXPERIMENT POINTING or


SOLAR INERTIAL, Al?

218 22 30 39 CDR We're in SOLAR INERTIAL.

SPT-EVA I think that's probably the problem, and I don't


know whether they intended for it to remain
there or not.

CDR I don't think it makes any difference. It ***

218 22 30 48 SPT-EVA You won't get a READY light in SOLAR INERTIAL.


467

CDR Okay, I'm going to go to exper - Well, they may


not want EXPERIMENT POINTING. It might make this
thing bobble around. Nowhere did it tell me to
ever go to EXPERIMENT POINT - -

218 22 30 59 SPT-EVA I wouldn't - I wouldn't do that without talking


with them.

218 22 31 00 CDR Well, how are we going to get thi_ checked out?

SPT-EVA We're not going to check it out, I don't think,


until we get back in contact with them. I'd
Just come on back in and then if we have to go -
I - we'd go back out but, -

CDR Okay, I'll tell you what we'll do - -

218 22 3-!-
22 SPT-EVA Let's just stop at that point.

CDR Stop at this point. We'll put this in hold and


_ when they come up, we can Just do the rest of
the things, and Jack can go out there and shake
it, if need be. We won't get in until we're
finished.

218 22 31 30 SPT-EVA Right. I think they may have asst_ed we were in


experiment pointing mode.

218 22 31 38 CDR I don't see why we can't put it in experiment


pointing.

SPT-EVA Well, I don't know why.

218 22 31 42 CDR I'm going to stick it in experiment pointing.


Stay clear, Jack.

218 22 31 44 PLT-EVA Okay, clear.

CDR EXPERIMENT POINTING.

218 22 31 51 CDR Okay, I'm going to hit the door open again.

218 22 32 08 PLT-EVA Fine sun sensor's door's open. S056 is open,


S054, S082A, and B.

CDR Yes, I went back to SOLAR INERTIAL. It didn't do


anygood,gang.
468

PLT-EVA Why don't you leave them on.

218 22 32 25 CDR Okay, I've gone back to SOLAR INERTIAL.

PLT-EVA Do it. Call them now and let them know about it.

CDR Okay.

218 22 32 32 PLT-EVA I'm going to stay here working on this ramp or


whatever - -

SPT-EVA It could also - We have to go to EXPERIMENT BUS 2


POWER or something like that.

218 22 32 h0 SPT-EVA Yes, Jack's got to do that while he's out there.

CDR Okay, wait a minute. Let's Just stay here.


Time to TIME. START/STOP switch to START.

SPT-EVA No need to go ahead with that if you don't get


an OPERATE light - READY light. I'd stop, A1.

218 22 32 55 CDR Let's just wait a second here. Okay, we're not
getting a lot of action out of that one. Maybe - -

SPT-EVA There's no point in going ahead.

218 22 33 0h CDR READY OPERATE light, READY on; no POWER/DOOR


switch OFF.

218 22 33 09 SPT-EVA Incidentally, where is that FLARE ENABLE switch?


INHIBIT, I assume.

CDR Yes.

218 22 33 15 PLT-EVA There goes the door closed. 82A doors going
closed. No -

218 22 33 17 CDR It decremented one frame right then. Maybe because


it was in TIME. No, that wouldn't make any
difference.

218 22 33 28 SPT-EVA This may be that same READY light anomaly, but
it's supposed to not be there whenever you -
have FLARE, INHIBIT.

CDR Well, I'll let it stay there 1 more second, gang.


F ¸

469

SPT-EVA You took a frame, AI.

218 22 33 40 CDR I know it.

218 22 33 42 SPT-EVA I'd say let well enough alone.

CDR No, just hold on. I'm going to open these doors
again. Maybe it was - that's the problem. It's
got FLARE, ENABLED, whether I like it or not in
this window.

218 22 33 55 CDR There it - it just turned it off.

SPT-EVA Well, now did you get a READY light?

CDR Wait a minute. It's not fully gray yet. Answer,


no. Okay, I'm going to turn - I'm going to go
back and turn it off. POWER/DOOR's OFF.

218 22 34 l0 CDR Talkback white then barber pole, and then


MAINPOWER,
OFF.

218 22 34 13 PLT-EVA There goes 82A closed.

CDR Okay.

218 22 34 23 SPT-EVA You took a frame all right, and the only thing
that's puzzling is why you didn't have a READY
light.

CDR Okay. It may have to do with this failure, as


you well know. When you were checking this out
yesterday, - -

SPT-EVA Checked 82A.

CDR MAIN POWER, OFF ; POWER/D00R talkback white, and


that's a fact. FILM RESET, XUV SLIT.

218 22 34 42 CDR Done; RESET; 1608; POWER/DOORs switch, OFF;


POWER/DOOR, MAIN POWER, ON; POWER/DOOR,
barber pole.

218 22 35 02 PLT-EVA There goes XUV MON closed.

CDR Okay. Barber pole.


470

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR POWER/D00R switch ON, white then gray.

218 22 35 12 PLT-EVA 0k_v, it's coming open.

SPT-EVA 82B? 82B 1. I guess that's the experiment, isn't


it?

218 22 35 19 SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Okay, it says READY OPERATE light, READY on.

SPT-EVA On, Al?

218 22 35 35 CDR No, READY light here. I suspicion that -


whatever's bothering one of them is bothering the
other one.

SPT-EVA Well, I think that you have to be in EXPERIMENT


POINTING for sure, but there's probably two
things on 82A and at least EXPERIMENT POINTING
on 82B.

CDR Okay, I went to EXPERIMENT POINTING and it didn't


do anything; got back out again. Okay?

218 22 35 57 PLT-EVA Where's the fine Sun sensor door?

CDR Fine Sun sensor door is closed.

PLT-EVA You don't want to go to EXPERIMENT POINTING


without having those open.

218 22 36 03 CDR That's a fact. Okay, now. Next one. Frames


remaining. We'll skip all of that stuff. I'm
just going to close them down and tell them
neither of those work. 1608 is what we started
with.

218 22 36 15 SPT-EVA They both have stalled very well.

218 22 36 18 CDR I'm sure it's something to do with - -


471

218 22 36 19 SPT-EVA You've already taken an 82A, so that works. Go


ahead and try an 82B. You've got enough time.

218 22 36 27 CDR START, 1608.

218 22 36 31 CDR STOP. It took one. Decreased it by one. READY


OPERATE, READY on; POWER/DOOR switch, OFF;
talkback -

218 22 36 44 PLT-EVA Coming closed.

218 22 36 45 CDR Okay. It says TV: XUV MON DOOR to CLOSE;


talkback white, then barber pole.

218 22 36 55 PLT-EVA There it goes.

CDR XUV MAIN POWER, OFF. You got all the doors
closed up there, Jack?

218 22 37 03 PLT-EVA Yes, except for 56 and 54.

CDR They must be open on their own, huh?

SPT-EVA *** 56, I think, was supposed to close. When


you went to EXPERIMENT POINTING, you opened it,
and then you never did go back to close it, or
something like that, although they were supposed
to have closed.

CDE What else is open up there, Jack?

218 22 37 28 PLT-EVA That's all.

CDR 56 is closed. Now anything else open?

PLT-EVA This 54 has been open.

218 22 37 35 CDR Okay, now. XUV SLIT MAIN POWER/DOOR, OFF,


white. Everything's closed. Now - here We go,
Jack. I'm going to have to roll the canister
to plus 3000 arc minutes.

218 22 37 49 PLT-EVA Okay, let her rip.


_7B

218 22 37 52 CDR LOW RATE, TIMES 2, plus 3000. That's a long


way from here, gang. MANUAL POINTING, ENABLE,
ROLL, ENABLE ; okay.

218 22 38 09 PLT-EVA Here she comes.

CDR Okay, l'm - while I'm doing that - you might


start thinking about getting out your - -

218 22 38 19 PLT-EVA Got it in my hand.

CDR All right. I thought you might. I've got


9000 arc minutes to go. You've got 7 minutes
to sunlight.

218 22 38 37 CDR l'm going to put the 55 door open, so see it come
open. Coming - -

218 22 38 42 PLT-EVA Okay.

218 22 38 43 PLT-EVA And it's got two bolts in it.

CDR Is it coming open right now?

218 22 38 45 PLT-EVA No.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA Ain't opening.

CDR Is it opening? It didn't come open, huh?

218 22 38 59 PLT-EVA No, huh-uh. It's still closed.

218 22 39 02 PLT-EVA There it goes.

SPT-EVA Is it - How many times did you switch the hit -


hit the switch?

CDR Once. I hit 54 before. Where's 54? Should it


be - should the switch be opened or closed?

SPT-EVA Have to be one of the two?

218 22 39 20 CDR Well, I wanted to hit one of them last.


F_

473

218 22 39 23 SPT-EVA They're momentary, aren't they?

CDE Yes, but which way do you want it?

SPT-EVA Oh, you might as well hit it open last, I guess,


but it doesn't make *** I don't think.

CDR Yes, I don't either.

PLT-EVA Okay, instead of using one, we've got to take


loose - -

CDR Okay - -

PLT-EVA - - I'll Just take - -

CDR Get ...

218 22 39 34 CDR All right. When I get it near you I'm going to
close and open the door a time or two and I want
F you to watch and observe for binding or anything
like that, okay?

PLT-EVA Well, I'm looking now at the ramp and it does


not have any wear marks on it at all.

218 22 39 49 CDR Okay. That's an interesting piece - -

PLT-EVA Although I notice that some of the others are


working and - so far *** do.

218 22 39 57 CDR If you find a better place for me to stop than


where I'm going so - for your viewing pleasure,
let me know and we'll cycle it there.

218 22 40 03 PLT-EVA A little more.

CDR 6000 to go.

218 22 40 33 PLT-EVA Well, that's probably as good a place to begin


as any.

CDR Okay. It's not plus 3 now; it's not even close.
I better - I'm going to stop. Now don't you
start taking anything off. Okay, here comes
the- -
47_

PLT-EVA No, I won't.

CDR Okay, here comes the open and close. Here comes
the close. What they want you to do is - note
stalling, binding, or anything of that nature.

218 22 40 53 PLT-EVA No stalling.

CDR See if you can see what could possibly be


causing the problem.

PLT-EVA Yes, I will.

CDR Is it closed?

218 22 41 02 PLT-EVA It's closed all the way. Uh-huh.

CDR Went open?

PLT-E_/A It opened very nicely. Okay. Try closing it


again.

218 22 41 14 CDR Okay, l'm going to turn the canister some more.

218 22 41 22 PLT-EVA AI, it seemed to close pretty good. It looked


like - Whoa' Turning it the wrong way.'

CDR I'm going to put it to plus 3000.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR Now why, I don't know.

CDR That look okay?

218 22 41 36 PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR It's about halfway to plus 3000 right now.

218 22 41 41 PLT-EVA It'll be out of my reach.

CDR Well, why'd they have me put it there for then?

218 22 41 45 PLT-EVA Beats me (laughter).

CDR Okay now. It's going to be at plus 3000 arc minutes,


S055 door. I'll do that again. Now it tells you
to work on it. You can't work on it there, huh?
475

218 22 41 55 PLT-EVA Well, I think I probably can. Depends - Yes, I


can probably work on it there. That's all right.
There's a couple of good places to work.

218 22 42 03 CDR Okay, I'm stopping the rotation now.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 22 42 07 CDR S055 door coming open.

218 22 h2 08 PLT-EVA All right. Looks like there's Just a -


barely [?] a little hitch there when you close
it right - as it - just before it - it's on the
ramp and Just before it hits the stop, it does
a little hitch and coming loose it's the same
way. It seems to stick up Just a little bit,
hut I - I wouldn't be able to say it's enough
to hang up the door.

218 22 42 27 CDR Must be it though.

PLT-EVA Yes, there's a little hitch.

CDR Okay, now. Place wrist tether on box end of


wrench.

218 22 42 34 PLT-EVA Okay, we got that.

CDR Remove bolt opposite stop on S055 ramp latch


using wrench.

PLT-EVA Opposite stop?

CDR That's right.

PLT-EVA All right. That's this one.

218 22 h2 45 CC We're reading you loud and clear through Vanguard


for 6 more minutes. Okay, let me give you a
thought - a couple of thoughts here AI. The TV,
on panel 202, TV POWER, AM, CLOSED.

218 22 42 h8 CDR Okay, let me give you a thought - a couple of


thoughts here - Story.

CC And now for the TV on panel 202. TV POWER


AM,CLOSED.
476

218 22 43 04 CDR Okay, that's done, Story. We ran through the

CC Thank you.

CDR I had a couple of funnies here. We ran


through the 82A and B checks and - although
every - everything seemed to work right, except
we got no READY light for either one. Now
we realized we weren't in EXPERIMENT POINTING,
so I went into EXPERIMENT POINTING momentarily
to see if I could get it. I coula not. I
came back out again. However, it appeared to
take a frame, in that the FRAMES REMAINING on
UV SPECT is 200 where it was 201. And the
UV SLIT is 1607 and it had been 1608. Now
maybe those just click off frames whether you
take a picture or not as long as you operate
the - START/STOP switch. Hut we got no READY
lights on either of those - cameras.

218 22 43 53 CC Thanks a lot, AI. We're working that.

CDR Okay, and all the rest of the things have


gone strictly nominal.

218 22 44 00 PLT-EVA This screw is going to come all the way out.
You might say they got a screw loose up here -
Story.

CDR That's right. Remove bolt opposite stop.

CC As long as it's only one, you're okay.

CDR Place removed bolt on tape of VS tree.

218 22 44 ii PLT-EVA *** lot. Okay, I'll try that.

CDR And then remove the bolt under stopper and


retrieve bolt, washer, latch, and shim. That
one only has a bolt. The other has four parts.

218 22 44 30 CDR Jack's working hard now, but he reported that -


when we operated the 55 doors several times that
it looked like it had a slight hangup right at
the very last motion before it went into the stop;
both coming in and going out. He didn't know _-_
whether he could count that as enough to hang it
477

up or not, but that may be the problem. Now, he'll


have to say whether he thinks it was the ramp it-
self or Just something behind it that made it
appear that the ramp was doing it. What you say?

CC Copy that.

218 22 45 03 PLT-EVA No, there were no scar marks on - marks on the


top part of the ramp. All I can think is maybe
it's a little hanging up on - on the bottom side
of the ramp. I noticed that the ramps on some of
the other doors got a little more of - of a wear
mark on them than this one. This one is very
clean on the top, but it may be on the bottom that
it's sticking.

218 22 45 29 CC Okay. We copy that, Jack. And could you verify


that you pushed the sail against the 0WS?

218 22 45 36 PLT-EVA Yes, I can verify that. Now the leading edge of
_ the sail is - The pole is about 1 foot abovethe
skin of the workshop and the - end of the pole is
down on the workshop at the aft end. The pole on
the right, whichever one that is - is - The end
of it looks likes it's resting on the - on that
big bump down there on the end of the workshop.

218 22 46 03 CC Okay. Is there any curving of the sail against


the workshop or bowing of the rods?

218 22 46 09 PLT-EVA Well, I can't see right now. 0ops! There goes
the Sun, too.

SPT-EVA Tell you what we did, Story. We finished doing


the - -

PLT-EVA Shine your light up here, A1.

CDR Yes.

PLT-EVA Could you turn - -

SPT-EVA Supposed to be - -

218 22 46 21 PLT-EVA Those Sun-end lights ain't working.

CDR Well, maybe 0wen needs to lean in the hatch and


see if there's two switches.
478
I

CDR You still there, Story?

218 22 46 37 CC Yes, sir; for a couple of minutes.

CDR Okay, here's what we did. We - -

SPT-EVA Several.

CDR - - we finished that job at night, and we still


had about 20 minutes of night to go. So we left
the foot restraints down there. We put the poles -
and sail down there snug as we thought it should
be, best we could see at night. And then we went
off and did these other Jobs. Now as Jack comes
back from the Sun end, he passes right by that
spot. He's going to stop, trim it up; hopefully,
the sail is expanded further because of the last
Sun on it - you know when we talked about the
accordion problem - push it down, and adjust it
just like you want it, and then that will be the
end of the ballgame. We'll put it inside. Now ....
here is the question, do - did it sound like we
had it in the right position, the position you
want?

218 22 47 28 CC Yes, that sounded good, AI. We Just wanted to


verify that we did have it down tight against the
workshop to avoid any TACS impingement on it.

CDR Okay, the message we had received was we wanted to


move it down until the poles Just touched the
leading edge of the parasol. Now the parasol was
not presenting a horizontal line to the poles.
Because, as you know, one of the parasol poles
didn't extend fully. It was up in the air. We
pushed it down until the - poles were level with
the - what we - looked like the apex of the parasol
and the one pole that did look like it deployed
fully.

218 22 48 12 SPT-EVA Jack, all the lights are on.

PLT-EVA Well, they're not on at the front end.

SPT-EVA We only have switches for the AM - -

218 22 48 20 PLT-EVA Well, we must have a burned out light or something.


479

SPT-EVA - - EVA, the deployment assembly, and the ATM,


and-

CC Okay, A1. That sounds good with the sail. As


long as the rods are pushed hard enough against
the OWS to bend the poles and make a curve in the
sail, you do not have to retract the sail.

218 22 48 42 CDR Okay. Now when ... - -

CC ...

CDR - - the next sunrise comes, Jack's going to stop


there and he'll push them down so that they are
bending and touching the workshop, as you said.

218 22 h8 52 CC And if they're like that, you don't have to re-


tract them where you're seeing the parasol. That
will be fine.

/-_ CDR Okay, we can do it either way.

218 22 49 02 SPT-EVA Boy, it gets dark out here, you know that? There's
nothing but me and the lights on my PCU. There's
the moon. We got a half Moon up here, Story.

SPT-EVA Apparently the EVA lights are burned out at the


Sun end.

218 22 49 18 CDR Wonder if there's a circuit breaker that could


be giving you some problems in here?

SPT-EVA I only see these one row of switches.

CDR Story, do you suppose there's a circuit breaker


that's in here that could somehow be cutting the
Sun-end EVA lights out and have the rest of them
working okay?

218 22 h9 34 CC Okay. We'll work that, too. We're about 15 seconds


to LOS here. We'll pick you up over Ascension in
9 minutes at 22:58 and we'll work both the 82_A
and B and the light problem.

CDR Okay, I checked both EVA lights - circuit breakers


andtheyarebothIN.

218 22 49 54 CC Okay. And going over the hill here, we'll prob-
ably have you repeat the tapes [sic] on page 2.1-14
48o
B
sequence when we can see it over Ascension. We'll
be ready.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Hey, A1 - -

218 22 50 08 CC And open up the TELEVISION POWER _ circuit breaker,


please, AI?

CDR 0keydoke. What'd you say, Big 0.?

SPT-EVA *** pointing out to you. You did describe the


*** that you had taken two sing *** a single frame
on each item?

CDR Yes, I did mention it. I told them everything I


did. I hope. Just stay there and enjoy it, Jack.

PLT-EVA I am. This is really something. You know, it's


out here and there's nothing except a little bit _-_
of light reflecting off of the solar panel, a few
stars, and a half Moon.

CDR Well, you've been EVA for about 5 hours and - -

SPT-EVA Doesn't seem like it.

CDR - - 5 hours and 20 minutes and it's got another


31 minutes until daytime.

218 22 51 02 PLT-EVA Oh, I feel good. How do you feel, 0.?

SPT-EVA I feel fine, but I'm - We're going to break


7 hours at this rate.

218 22 51 09 CDR I just wish we could - Jack, is it so dark that


you can't work on that 55 door?

PLT-EVA *** can't see my hand in front of my face and


that's what I mean. That's no - -

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA That's literal.

CDR Okay, stay loose. Don't move around. Stay in


the foot restraints.
h81

SPT-EVA I don't think we'd ought to have been going to


EXPERIMENT POINTING with a man on the canister
up. ***

218 22 51 35 CDR Didn't move. If we can roll it, we can sure go


to EXPERIMENT POINTING. Well, let me see if I
can suggest some items for you, Owen. None, Just
relax, I guess.

PLT-EVA Well, what else do we have to do? We don't have


that - -

SPT-EVA Well, we got to do - -

PLT-EVA - - Much to do. We got - -

CDR ...

SPT-EVA - - to do 49 and 230.

PLT-EVA Well, neither one of those - I think we are in


good shape.

218 22 52 Ii CDR I do, too. Nothing we can do but just wait.

PLT-EVA Trying to figure out what I'm seeing down there.


I think I see clouds.

218 22 52 23 PLT-EVA Yes, you can see - you can see clouds down there.
The light's reflecting through them. I don't see
any thunderstorms right now, do you?

SPT-EVA No. We - we might not be looking at the ground


either.

PLT-EVA Got to look to your left.

SPT-EVA To my left, huh?

PLT-EVA ... I don't know if it's your left or not.

SPT-EVA I don't either.

PLT-EVA I guess it isn't. But I'm standing on the Sun


end and looking to my left, why I - see clouds
down there.

218 22 52 56 PLT-EVA Off to my right, I see bunches of stars.


482

SPT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA *** pull your visor up, you might see more.

PLT-EVA (chuckling) I did that.

218 22 53 30 CDR While we wait, I can read you what our


teleprinter says we are doing tomorrow.

SPT-EVA Okay. What's that?

CDR Well, I tell you, they didn't give me any


time to stow this EVA stuff. So apparently
we're going to do post tonight. In case you
were thinking about going to bed, forget it.
Okay, here it is. Pass urine samples.

SPT-EVA Well, we can handle that.

218 22 53 57 CDR Is that a pun? Okay, here. l'm going to do a


little M516-I, whatever that is. You are going _-_
to do ATM activation and checkout, Owen. That
ought to make you happy. Jack and I are going
to do 80N, whatever that is, and then Jack and I
have got an hour to do overage food transfers.
And Owen's got ATM. And Jack and I observe him
do 171-2 and 92, of course. Then a little per-
sonal hy - hygiene.

SPT-EVA Observe me.

CDR I observe you.

SPT-EVA ...

CDR No, no - Jack. I observe Jack. You are ATMing


it. You ATM all day, Owen.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 22 54 32 CDR You check it out at 13:30 and you're on it the


rest of the day, if you can hack it.

SPT-EVA Simple enough. Just keep me supplied with


apple juice.

CDR And then I'm the subject later at night while f-_
Jack observes me and - we do a bunch of other
_83

housekeepings and physical trainings; M509E for


Jack, whatever that is. That's probably a top-off
of the bottles. And - that's about .it.

SPT-EVA Good.

218 22 55 03 CDR SPT - Looks like he gets on and stays on. They
want to see if you know anything about it, Owen.

SPT-EVA Well, we'll find out, I guess.

CDR That's right.

218 22 55 25 SPT-EVA Hope they find out - figure out something on that
... - got everything else more or less working,
for a while.

PLT-EVA On what, 0.?

SPT-EVA Most everything else seems to be working, at least


for a while .... 60 days.

218 22 55 51 PLT-EVA Yes, I hope they solve that one. A1, I could do
a little more drifting around after a while and
look over the command module a little more.

CDR Don't drift anywhere at night.

PLT-EV_ Well, no, not tonight, but I mean that 's probably
one other thing we've got to do.

CDR No, we don't.

SPT-EVA We ought to finish this 149 and ATM.

218 22 56 l0 CDR ... let him finish 149, ATM, do the poles, and all
that other stuff, no drifting. They've asked
us to drift and we drifted. If they ask us
to drift some more, we'll drift some more. No
drifting on our own.

PLT-EVA Well, I thought they asked us to look over quad B


and D.

CDR They did - from those vantage points only. You


been out a long time, babe.

PLT-EVA I feel all right.


484
!

SPT-EVA So do I. I don't feel - like it's been that long


by any means.

218 22 56 49 CDR 149's next and then 230.

PLT-EVA ... l've ever had.

SPT-EVA Huh!

218 22 56 58 CDR They have some pretty sights out there.

PLT-EVA Sure wish this light would work here.

SPT-EVA Yes, it's a shame.

CDR Might be a little bit better to have daylight -

PLT-EVA Oh, yes, yes. I think so.

218 22 57 12 CDR We want to finish this and get down there and get
those poles adjusted. Now, they told me something _
new. If it touched the back, you didn't have to
retract it. Now I didn't have that written any-
where, did you?

PLT-EVA No, heck no.

SPT-EVA Retract what?

218 22 57 25 PLT-EVA That's what I was wondering. What are you talking
about?

SPT-EVA I didn't know what he meant. That's a message


we didn't get.

CDR I'ii ask him about it.

PLT-EVA Retract what though, is he talking about?

218 22 57 35 CDR Retract the sails some, I think he meant.

PLT-EVA l'm not sure that's what he meant. Well, I


don't know what he meant.

CDR l'm sure he did. I - it seems to me l've heard


it long ago, but it is not in any part of these
check procedures. _-_
/ -

_85
t

218 22 57 47 PLT-EVA Yes, you know I noticed that that thing isn't
completely unfolded and unfurled.

SPT-EVA That 's right.

PLT-EVA It looks to me like it doesn't cover the left as


much as it covers the right. In fact, when I look
at it, anyway, the left side - the side where
the wing is - the parasol sticks out fron under
it about 3 feet.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's what I was going to say. I can't see


the right side, but from what I can see, the sail
covers the parasol, but the parasol extends be-
yond it. And there's no place that the sail
covers new area.

218 22 58 16 CDR That's what you want to tell him now. Whenever
we get out in the Sun, explain exactly what you
see out there, Jack.

PLT-EVA Yes, I will.

218 22 58 25 CDR In fact, you may want to do it right now so they


can be thinking about it.

PLT-EVA Well, the only thing I can think to do is to yank


the thing back down and - and spread it out some
more manually.

CDR I don't think they want you to do that. I'll talk


with them though.

CC Skylab, we've got you through Ascension for


4 minutes.

CDR Okay, you go ahead and shoot.

PLT-EVA Okay_ Story, a little word on the sail while


I'm standing here in the dark.

218 22 58 57 CDR Hey, Jack.

PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR I think they want us to run this check real quick.

PLT-EVA Oh, okay; go ahead. 0opsl It seems we got some


lights.
_86

SPT-EVA Yes, the lights just come out here.

CDR Okay, they must have commanded - -

218 22 59 02 CC We sent the command to enable the - the logics


of those lights ......

SPT-EVA Oh_ they did.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA ... wrenching here.

CDE Okay, Jack's wrenching. How about telling me


this check, if you want me to pull it?

218 22 59 17 CC Okay, A1. Could you tell us if you got an OPERATE


light on 82A or B.

CDR Did not get an OPERATE or READY light. Everything


else seemed to work correctly. _--_

CC Roger.

CC We have not been getting any TV this time, A1. You


can leave that TELEVISION POWER AM circuit breaker
OPEN.

218 22 59 h6 CDR 0kay_ now I'll tell you one reason we're probably
not. I just flipped the LAMP TEST switch in all
positions and got no LAMP TEST. Now I didn't
throw any circuit breakers up here or anything
else because of our problem. So I'm Just standing
by for a suggestion.

CC Okay, that sounds good, A1, and we're going to


do no further troubleshooting on that. We think,
since you did get a frames decrement on both
experiments, that everything is good.

PLT-EVA They sure loaded smoothly and the flags were


clearly visible.

218 23 00 16 CDR Okay, now one more thing Story, because we're
going to be losing you again. We're going to
come out in the light. We're going to go down
and look at the poles again after we do 1_9. _--_
We had no procedure aboard that mentioned anything
_87

about retracting the sail in the event it didn't


set down flat.

218 23 00 32 CC No, not to retract it but Just to pull it back so


it is - flusher - nearer to you than the parasol,
but it's not necessary. Just push the rods down
toward the OWS so there's a slight bend in the
rods and a slight curve in the sail.

CDR Okay, one other thing. Jack and Owen both pointed
out that - in no place does the twin-pole parasol
cover - the twin-pole sail cover the parasol.
And that - it is not fully extended. It still
has a little - I mean it is fully extended out
to the end of the poles, but the accordion pleating
is keeping it from going the maximum width that
the parasol is. It never extends beyond the
parasol.

218 23 O1 ll CDR Go ahead and tell them whatever you got, O.

CC We copy that.

CDR And we are going to then push it down to make sure


it is just like you want it, tighten it up, put
on the locks, send in the thing, and then do 230.
How long before our next contact?

218 23 01 28 CC We are going to lose you here in about 1 minute


here, and we'll be picking you up at Vanguard
after 1 hour and 17 minutes.

CREW (Laughter)

CDR Okay, we hope to be back inside by that time.

PLT-EVA We'll be finished by then. Our message, A1.

218 23 01 55 CDR And, Story, one thing more. Would you mind if I
ran through that procedure on 2.1-14 and make sure
it decrements even one more frame?

218 23 02 01 CC You don't need to do that A1. It'll be all right.

CDR 0keydoke.

PLT-EVA Okay, I've got one bolt out here.


688

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA I'ii try to stick it on this tape.

218 23 02 16 CC Okay, troops, I've got to hustle here. I got


15 seconds. One other suggestion is lift the
booms up and then spread them out, and then lay
them down. Just as a reminder - Be sure you bring
the foot restraints in. All systems are looking
good. You are cleared when you get done to enter
the airlock and repress. And with your permission
I'll slip your family comm. They are about an hour
and 20 minutes away now.

CDR Yes, please do. Thank you, Story. See you in a


little while. Thank everybody down there for
watching all this machine. Working great.

PLT-EVA What time is it, anyway, Al?

CDR 23:00. f_

218 23 02 52 CC We're still with you; it's about 23:02:53;


6:00 here.

SPT-EVA It seems early.

SPT-EVA This day has really gone fast.

PLT-EVA Well, all of y'all will remember this day for a


long time.

CDR That's a fact.

SPT-EVA Has it seemed tedious in there, AI?

218 23 03 29 CDR A little bit. You can probably tell, my temper


gets short sometimes. Well, I guess I was worried
because we were out here a long time. I Was afraid
they were going to say, "Okay, you guys, get in.
Don't do 149 and don't do 230, or something."

SPT-EVA I can't imagine why they would - I mean they really -

CDR You don't know. People ask strange things.

SPT-EVA Why? I mean there has to be a reason. When they _-_


were on the surface, you know, maybe they were
48£

working too hard, or their backpack PLSS, wasn't


going to hack it. But -

218 23 04 01 CDR I hate to not cycle that thing again, but I'm
not going to.

SPT-EVA I think it has to do with the panel configuration.


That they were not aware Just what it was in. When
they went out, they - -

218 23 04 13 CDR None of the lamp tests worked.

PLT-EVA That makes - that's encouraging. Those display


switches are probably all off up there in the
left-hand corner, aren't they?

CDR ORBIT - ORBIT PHASE is on. EVENT TIME and ACS -


EVENT TIME is not, ACS COUNTERS, BUS 2. I don't
know which one controls the READY/0PERATE lights.

218 23 04 47 SPT-EVA Oh, how about the lighting switches over there
that say NUMERIC and - -

CDR They're off. They're all up, but I wasn't going


to switch them.

SPT-EVA Up - up, you say? Well, that is using the C&D


AC, I.

CDR That's right.

SPT-EVA And so that bus is out. And I think that's the


reason that we're not getting any of those
displays.

CDR Okay.

218 23 05 07 CDR Like Jack said, they went smooth and they
decremented.

SPT-EVA ... panel.

CDR ..., Jack.

PLT-EVA Oh, I've got the thing off. I'm Just kind of
collecting the pieces together.

CDR Good.
w

490
I

PLT-EVA Tie the cable up.

218 23 05 23 CDR Remove bolt stop and tape to tree; that and the
wrench. Now I'm going to close 55 door and then
cycle it a couple of times.

PLT-EVA Hey, don't do it yet.

218 23 05 33 CDR I'm not going to do it, of course. Thanks for


reminding me, but I wasn't.

PLT-EVA I know it.

CDR Wonder why they want me to roll the canister


to a minus 6780 arc minutes?

PLT-EVA There's a whole bunch of shims here too, gee!

CDR Huh!

218 23 06 14 SPT-EVA I'd sort of forgotten. Did you read to Jack the _-_
correct procedure for leaving that EVA roll panel
down there by the center work station?

CDR I hope I did, because I'ii just have him go by


it if I didn't. The answer is - okay, we had
him do that. No, we just kind of left them on.
That ROLL ENABLE, CANISTER ROTATION, right align
Sun end, ROLL INHIBIT. That's all you'd ever
do, isn't it?

218 23 06 54 SPT-EVA No, there are some - some power switches that you
normally turn off.

CDR POWER 2 ENABLE, if required. It just says, if


required. Apparently we don't turn them off.
They were probably enabled when Jack got there.
It does not tell me to turn them off.

218 23 07 08 SPT-EVA Do you know whether you did - whether you turned
them on and off, or what position they were in,
Jack?

PLT-EVA I don't remember at the moment, 0. !'ii go by


and take - take a look.

CDR Don't turn them off now. It doesn't tell us to. _-_
That's where we're getting screwed up. Let's
stick with this checklist.
PLT-EVA I Just lost one little shim.

SPT-EVA Byb, bye, one shim.

PLT-EVA ... into the ATM.

218 23 07 59 PLT-EVA O. - 0., we're going to have to treat this here


82 thing very gently - -

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA - - to keep from losing the stuff that's on it.


Okay?

218 23 08 09 PLT-EVA I've got that Job done now, A1.

CDR Okay, let me read to you. I'm going to rotate


55 door open and close while you watch it, okay?

PLT-L_A All right, let her rip.

CDR Okay; OPEN, CLOSE - when it's fully closed, let


me know. And watch it for any -

218 23 08 32 PLT-EVA MARK.

SPT Okay, here comes an OPEN; watch it for any


jerking or whatever you saw before.

PLT-EVA Well, the light's a little bit diminished in


here, so -

SPT-EVA Got your visor up?

PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR You can use your penlight.

218 23 08 48 PLT-EVA Oh, okay; it's open.

CDR Here comes the CLOSE. Describe any door stalling,


binding, or whatever you want.

PLT-EVA No stalling, binding or hitching.

r -
CDR Can you tell a difference from the other times?

PLT-EVA Yeah, I believe I can, at the end of a stroke.


I think we'll be able to tell better when we
492

get that ramp in there and look under the


underside of it there. I'ii bet you there's
going to be some marks on it.

218 23 09 ii CDR Okay, now l'm going to roll this back, Jack, so
watch out.

PLT-EVA Okay, there she goes.

CDR All right. Now - all the doors are closed. Is


that correct, Jack?

PLT-EVA Yes, except for the one that's bent open.

218 23 09 27 CDR Okay, now, 0., unclamp EV-2. Jack, you just
stay still for a minute.

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA ...

218 23 i0 04 PLT-EVA Well, the whole world's upside down now, space
fans.

CDR Okay, Droop.

PLT-EVA I see a few thunderstorms down there - -

SPT-EVA Yes, I can see it flashing - -

PLT-EVA - - flashing away. Ha!

SPT-EVA Okay, AI, we're waiting.

CDR Well, I am too, gang. Getting that thing set


right. Okay, there's 67, 78, 77 - okay. Now
let me tell you what to do. Remove slack,
egress VS foot restraints, and ingress VT
foot restraints.

218 23 i0 43 PLT-EVA Okay, here I go.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Jack, don't bump the package.

218 23 ii 19 PLT-EVA Okay,hereI am. _-_


4_

CDR Okay, remove slack, then clamp EV-2 LSU at


approximately 31 feet, Big 0.

SPT-EVA Complete.

218 23 ll 26 CDR Okay, how about a little EMU status check?

PLT-EVA 3.6, no lights.

CDR Okay.

SPT-EVA Same here.

218 23 ll 33 CDR SUN END BOOM, EXTEND to VT as directed by EV-2.

SPT-EVA Just a little more there, Jack.

PLT-EVA Yes, let me get this package in my hand.

SPT-EVA All right.

218 23 ll 54 CDR Pass the tree, bring it back - pass the tree, lock,
bring it back, and stow it, you know where. You've
got l0 minutes to sunrise, Jack.

PLT-EVA Okay. Oh, I can't get it loose. How about that?

SPT-EVA Maybe it's locked.

218 2B 12 09 PLT-EVA Well, it was locked but it isn't any more. I


tried to loosen it.
b

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA There she comes loose. You got to shake her.

SPT-EVA Pretty tight.

SPT-EVA Yes, it may have been it cooled off at night. Put


it on in the Sun, hot.

218 23 12 24 PLT-EVA Now, O. I don't remember what side you had the -

SPT-EVA The shoe going toward the ATM.

PLT-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA There's one little cutout place there for the


handle.
494

PLT-EVA Wait a minute. The shoe - -

SPT-EVA Yes, it won't lock?

218 23 12 45 SPT-EVA In other words your wedge goes away from the ATM.

PLT-EVA That's the wrong direct - stated - Is that


the way it goes?

SPT About 90 degrees to your right - to the down.

218 23 13 00 PLT-EVA Well, this is the way it's got to go to get it


on the hook.

SPT-EVA Okay, put it on that way then.

PLT-EVA Okay, run it up here a little more, please?

SPT-EVA All right.

218 23 13 04 PLT-EVA About 2 feet. Oh. Oh, man, it's a good shot l--
there, O.

SPT-EVA Okay, now it should be 180 degrees from


that if you could, AI, - Jack.

PLT-EVA Yes, I can do that very simply. Carefully.

PLT-EVA Keeping hands on all the time. Is that the way


you like it?

SPT-EVA
Yes.

218 23 13 45 PLT-EVA If I had thought of it before, we could have


put those tools and things inside of the
canister, but -

SPT-EVA No, you want a vacuum in those cans. You


wouldn't have been able to get them open.

218 23 13 57 CDR Okay, is everybody ready?

SPT-EVA I don't know - -

PLT-EVA No, I can't get them - l'm working on getting


them locked.

CDR No trouble, I just couldn't see.


495
p
b

218 23 14 02 PLT-EVA *** cans are empty now.

SPT-EVA That's right.

PLT-EVA It's locked and it's on there.

CDR Those cans are going to have something in them


eventually, aren' t they?

218 23 lh 09 SPT-EVA Not until we bring them back in the next time.

PLT-EVA Okay, Big 0. take it away.

SPT-EVA All right.

PLT-EVA Now be very careful in getting - those parts


back.

SPT-EVA All right.

_- 218 23 lh 20 SPT-EVA Now that one shim I saw float away, floated
away from the ATM.

218 23 14 27 CDR Show me what it's going to hit, O. It's an


EVA light near you?

218 23 14 29 SPY-EVA Yes, it's that EVA light - if you can see
it then it's - -

PLT-EVA ...

CDR Huh, I 'll be darn. It 's probably not in the


trainer.

SPT-EVA Not with adequate fidelity.

218 23 14 _2 CDR Okay, that's a note for the EVA people. Pick
this up, EVA people - Bob Kain. Make sure
that when they train putting the 82_A and B
cans on, they do it with the shoe towards the
AM. Otherwise, it's going to strike a light
that's on the top of the FAS. Please send us
up a change to put that in ours, too. Okay,
Jack, let me read to you a few tidbits. Let me
get - let me give O. a chance to stow that
thing, first. Don't get ahead of the ballgame.

218 23 15 30 SPT-EVA Stowed and locked.


496
i

PLT-EVA All right.

CDR Okay, how about retrieving one S149 from F-6


handrail and attach to Sun end boom.

218 23 15 40 PLT-EVA Ah .... standing here waiting for us.

CDR Okay.

SPT_EVA There's bound to be - Here's that convenient


cutout.

PLT-EVA Hey, 0.?

SPT-EVA Just a minute.

PLT-EVA How about leaving a tether on?

SPT-EVA Yes. I can't get that - -

218 23 16 45 PLT-EVA I already got something on this other tether.

SPT-EVA Okay. I'ii have to - -

PLT-EVA I couldn't get that wrench out of the tape


roll, with all those other things.

218 23 17 01 SPT-EVA Put a tether on this one, or what?

CDR You need to - -

PLT-EVA Yes, I know - l'd like to tether it. It could


get away very easy. It's kind of clumsy.

218 23 17 12 CDR Sure is, and you have to work at a funny position,
too.

PLT-EVA Yes. Okay, I'ii put this tether right down


there at that -

218 23 17 28 PLT-EVA Okay, it looks like it's on and locked.

SPT-EVA *** fixed.

218 23 17 36 CDR Okay. Extend it to EV-2, who will then remove


149 from boom, depress clamp lever, and attach
clamp to solar shield next to bracket on back side
of shield,
4_7

PLT-EVA All right. I know right - right where that is.

218 23 17 52 CDR Okay. Then when you do that, let me know, and
I'll tell you what to do about the crank, Jack.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 23 18 l0 CDR Nice Job. Professional boom operator. We're


going to take your previous profession and
change it, Owen.

SPT-EVA Well, I ... got a ... meter reading.

PLT-EVA *** had in mind, or was it the a -

SPT-EVA ... meter reading is good.

218 23 18 29 PLT-EVA Okay. Oh, man, look at all the forest fires
down there.

CDR My gosh, look at that. I bet we're over Africa.

218 23 18 37 PLT-EVA Yes, I bet they're burning off the crops or


something.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR Could be. Look at that. My - -

PLT-EVA No way - no way to tell where we are, huh?

218 23 18 44 SPT-EVA Yeah, where was the last pass - Ascension? So


this must be over - probably Africa somewhere.

CDR Yes. That would be my guess. It's getting the


time of night we cut across Africa and into Asia.
That's going to be EVA over Russia. That'll
bring back some memories, someday. You can
look up at the sky over Russia and say I was
hanging out, over there.

218 23 19 09 PLT-EVA (Chuckle) Okay, 0., take her back, I've got
it. It's all tethered in good hands, and all
that stuff. Take it back, please?

SPT-EVA 0kay. I 'm trying.


fk
PLT-EVA Oh, I'm sorry.
498

218 23 19 28 PLT-EVA 0., here comes the Sun.

SPT-EVA Now, let's see. Are we ready to bring this all


the way backin forgoodnow?

PLT-EVA Yes, I think so.

218 23 19 37 CDR No, you got to put out the - You got to get
that plate.

SPT-EVA Yes.

218 23 19 42 CDR You got to bring it in though because, thermally,


it can't take it.

218 23 19 47 PLT-EVA Boom.

CDR That 's right.

PLT-EVA I don't remember any story about bringing it in


between runs or anything.

218 23 20 00 CDR Okay, it always has you do it. RETRACT fully, it


says there, but we know we don't mean it. Solar
shield next to bracket on back side of shield.
Unstow clamp crank and turn crank clockwise to
lock clamp to solar shield. In other words,
unstow it and turn it clockwise.

PLT-EVA Maybe I better not put it up there so far because


the guy who has got to get it is probably a
shorty.

CDR That's right. And that's going to be me, and


I'm - no, it's going to Owen, I guess. Put it
back. There's no reason to have it way far away.
How's it doing?

218 23 20 38 PLT-EVA Well, I got it in a nice place, I think.

SPT-EVA I'd bring it a little closer to you.

CDR No advantage to having it there that far away.

PLT-EVA Well, in order to give you - It's going to be in


the way when you whistle through there for the
next EVA.
499

CDR That's the first thing you do is get that.

218 23 20 58 PLT-EVA Oh, you do? Okay.

CDR Yes, sir.

PLT-EVA All right, let me put it right here, then.

CDR Okay.

218 23 21 03 SPT-EVA Now, how about when you open it up. Is it going
to be hitting you in the face or anything?

SPT-EVA *** out of the way of it all right?

CDR You're pulling on it, Jack, with your left arm.

PLT-EVA I think I can handle that.

SPT-EVA Okay.

_ 218 23 21 17 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to crank it down.

CDR Crank it clockwise. I think Jack's using that


tether smart, because that's where the darn thing
comes loose if you don't.

218 23 21 26 SPT-EVA Yes, I don't have -We ought to do it when I go


out, also.

CDR Yes, I agree with that.

SPT-EVA But I was sort of - I thought - not safe enough


with it when I was operating with it here.

PLT-EVA ...

CDR Okay, and you got to put that thing back to lock
or something. Okay - -

PLT-EVA That handle doesn't lock; it's a ratchet.

218 23 21 45 CDR Okay. Is it ratch - nice ratchet? Is it okay?

PLT-EVA Yes.

f-_ CDR All right, let me give you the next statement,
Jack. Now, ro - -
5OO

PLT-EVA 0oh boy' Look at the lights come on (laughter).

218 23 21 57 CDR Rotate S149 crank slowly counterclockwise to open


cassette arms, and you know all about that.

SPT-EVA You better let your visor down, ...

CDR Good idea, 0.

218 23 22 i0 PLT-EVA No wonder it's so bright here.

CDR S149 crank slowly counterclockwise. Open cassette


arms, 7 seconds per rev. Fasten restraint to
handle.

218 23 22 22 PLT-EVA Okay, counterclockwise.

CDR Okay.

PLT-EVA How many revs are there?

SPT-EVA...23 ... _-_

CDR Are there really, 0.?

SPT-EVA About 20 something.

CDR Good gravy '

218 23 22 49 CDR I'ii look out the ... back - down here 0. - over
the ground here in a few minutes, Jack, to see if
I can tell where we are. l'm pretty sure we're
going to be over Africa.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR l'd taken this chart out awhile ago, and it ran
off - -

218 23 23 04 PLT-EVA There goes the latches - 4.

CDR Good.

PLT-EVA How's that for, - -

SPT-EVA Looks about right.

PLT-EVA - - speed? Make sure we do it right.


501

218 23 23 18 SPT-EVA Five.

PLT-EVA Six. All right, and they opened Just like we


said - 7.

CDR You mean like little L's?

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 23 23 37 PLT-EVA Two hands open up like a clam shell.

CDR Yes • that's what we thought.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

PLT-EVA Pretty inside.

SPT-EVA *** mine.

CDR What color is it, Jack?

_ 218 23 23 _7 PLT-EVA All different kinds of colors and pieces in there;


copper color, silver color, mirror - -

CDR I'll be darned. I'm glad we didn't open it up


inside the other day.

PLT-EVA Some little ones and some big ones. Some are
small as a - -

CDR A dime?

PLT-EVA Some are even smaller than that. Some of them


are as small as - oh, an eighth of an inch across.

218 23 25 56 PLT-EVA There.

CDR That done, Jack.

PLT-EVA Yes '

218 23 25 01 CDR Okay. Ease your bod down to the twin poles and
work on them.

PLT-EVA Okay, you want to take that umbilical there, O?

CDR Yes, unclamp and manage EV-2 LSU by stowing


behind EV-1.
502

SPT-EVA Behind me.

218 23 25 18 PLT-EVA Okay, I'Ii see if I can do that. Okay, we got the
wrench clear of the 149.

CDR Okay.

218 23 25 33 CDR I might mention something, Jack, as you come back.


Take a look at the quads, if you can see them,
and see how they look from there. And make some
comments about them if you would. CSM quads.

PLT-EVA Okay. l'm trying to clear my umbilical here. I


guess it is now.

218 23 25 53 SPT-EVA It's really clear - the demarcation where the Sun
goes and where it doesn't. Everything mskes a
shadow, a very distinct - discoloration of the
paint. Looks like somebody took a brush and Just
painted the lines.

SPT-EVA
Uh-huh. _-_

PLT-EVA Okay, now. What we want to do with this pole is


thi s.

SPT-EVA What ?

218 23 26 17 CDR What did you do about looking at the quads? How
did they look?

PLT-EVA Well, I can't see the quads from here.

CDR Oh, okay. I thought you could see them on the


way.

PLT-EVA No, there is no way to see them, AI, because the -


the command module is right through the ATM, down
that way.

218 23 26 31 CDR Okay, understand. Want you to - push them down


until they're bending slightly but not much. Be
sure they're touching at the aft end. And if it
hasn't - gone wide enough for your own amusement,
raise them up a little bit off the side of the
workshop, and then put them back down again.

218 23 26 51 PLT-EVA Well, that's the thing I haven't done. They're


wide enough to suit me, from the left. They are
down - the ends are down - good and tight.
503

CDR Well, do you suppose you want to raise them up a


little bit? Encourage them to spread maybe a
little bit and then put them back down? That's
what they suggested.

PLT-EVA Yes, that's what I'm going to do.

218 23 27 l0 CDR Okay, just be careful you don't break those poles.
Because we've got it made now if we don't break
them.

SPT-EVA Here we come over Russia - no this couldn't be -


where ? Somewhere.

PLT-EVA Okay, it's well cleared now.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes.

218 23 27 40 PLT-EVA What did I do, 0., when I did that?

SPT-EVA I do what?

PLT-EVA What does that do when I spread them apart?

218 23 27 45 SPT-EVA Okay, it just - sort of fans things out a little


bit. And - I think - I think it might have helped
a little. It's still not going to be as - as
wide as the parasol.

CDR Let's just leave it out and next EVA we'll try to
spread it some more.

PLT-EVA Those poles look pretty spread. I don't know.

218 23 28 03 SPT-EVA I don't think it'll spread any more because the
guy wires are pulling off to right angles. It's
Just - too wide.

PLT-EVA I - I think that - it's pretty well spread myself.

SPT-EVA I do too. I think it's Just right. It's as good


as it's going to get.

218 23 28 19 CDR Okay. Put her down on the bottom and let's park
it.

218 23 28 22 PLT-EVA Yes. The red pole is straight and the green pole
is dang near straight.
504

SPT-EVA That brought the parasol down right flat, just


where it was supposed to be.

PLT-EVA Yes, the parasol is now flat.

218 23 28 32 CDR The main thing the_ do not want is - is any


nitrogen thrusters to get under that thing at the
back. Hey, do you see the nitrogen thrusters?

SPT-EVA I can't see the TACS, myself.

CDR They're little bitty - -

SPT-EVA I know what they look like; I Just can't see them.

CDR How about you, Jack?

218 23 28 47 PLT-EVA I see two little brown things; look like they
might be roll thrusters.

CDR They're little bitty - they'll be in little bitty


cones about 3 inches long and i inch in diameter. _-_

PLT-EVA I see them for roll, but I don't see any - pitch.

CDR Pitch ones kind of submerge and come out at the


same place. How - -

218 23 29 02 PLT-EVA Three of them.

SPT-EVA They pitch out in threes.

CDR Yes, that's right. Now is this - is this thing


too close to them, or do you think it's
satisfactory?

SPT-EVA But it hasn't been pushed down yet. You got to


push it down.

218 23 29 ll CDR No, I meant when he does.

218 23 29 13 PLT-EVA Oh, I see a pitch one there, but it looks like it's
well clear. Looks like it points - straight out
radially from the - the skin.

CDR That's right. There's one of those and two the


other direction.
5O5

PLT-EVA And they go in roll.

SPT-EVA Well, they go longitu***

PLT-EVA Yes; well, yes.

218 23 29 30 CDR When they fire together, they go pitch or yaw.

PLT-EVA No, I don't think there's any way they can - -

SPT-EVA Oh, that's right. They go - -

PLT-EVA - - ...

SPT-EVA - - they go perpendicular to the X-axis, dontt


they?

218 23 29 37 CDR That's exactly right.

PLT-EVA So, its - -

CDR Yes.

.PLT-EVA - - it can't happen.

SPT-EVA One goes perpen - -

PLT-EVA There ain't no way.

218 23 29 41 CDR Okay, bring it down nice and snug where the poles
are bent somewhat and that's it. Tighten it up.
By the way, are there lock screws on those two
handles you turn in?

PLT-EVA No.

218 23 29 52 CDR I didn't think so. We lost that battle.

PLT-EVA Coming in to where the poles are bent is about a


foot, O.

SPT-EVA Okay. Yes, you want it bent. And then you want
the thing so that - -

PLT-EVA ... end of those beauties.

,_ 218 23 30 09 CDR They don't want any chance of those poles lifting
up. That's their main concern.
5o6

PLT-EVA Okay, let me tighten it down a little bit.

SPT-EVA Yes, it needs - -

PLT-EVA *** to get it down by tightening it.

CDR We don't want to get this thing too flush to the


workshop; we're liable not to have any - -

218 23 30 42 CDR So you don't think any thruster could get under
them and negate it's effects so that the TACS
wouldn't work?

PLT-EVA I - I don't think so. Huh-oh,

CDR ...

218 23 30 50 PLT-EVA I think the thrusters are too far back there. It
looks like the thrusters are - 8 to i0 feet on
the other end of the sail.

CDR Good. Now, have you pushed it down in an additional


bend of the pole so that they're kind of flexed?

PLT-EVA A1, I can't. Can you see if that pole is flexed


there, 0.?

218 23 31 05 SPT-EVA They look flexed but, you know, I can't ... on
them very well. But I'm pretty - they look to
be flexed.

CDR Give them a little bit more then.

PLT-EVA Crank it down a little more.

218 23 32 56 SPT-EVA They are pretty tight.

PLT-EVA Yes, they're flexed now.

CDR Okay, now tighten tight - How's the front end of


them?

SPT-EVA The front end is about 8 inches.

PLT-EVA Yes. l'd say 8 inches - off.

218 23 33 i0 CDR Why don't you back up a half a turn or so and then
lock them in from the side as tight as you can?
5O7

No, no, no. Don't lock them as tight as you


can. Lock them pretty tight ....

218 23 33 18 PLT-EVA Okay, here's one other thing about that darn -
sail - is - it's not a flat sheet. It's a - a -

CDR That's right.

PLT-EVA It kind of billows up in a accordion - That's the


reason that - this - looks bigger than it ought
to be.

218 23 33 31 SPT-EVA Yes, that's Just one of those things. I think we


ought to Just forget it.

CDR Let's get in. Let's go. Go ahead and turn it.
Go ahead and tighten both of those side ones
down, Jack, real tight.

218 23 33 41 SPT-EVA Okay, now on the left side there - the side where
the wing is, there's about - at the front end
there's about15 inches-where the parasol
extends out from under the sail and at the back
it's about 3 feet. On the right - the sail
extends over the parasol in the back about a foot
or 2. And on the leading edge, why, the parasol
is - extending beyond the sail about 2 or 3 feet.
And I noticed in the back, way back in the - by
the end of the green pole, that the parasol is
sticking up back there beyond the sail also.
We'll make a sketch of this when we get in, Jack.

PLT-EVA Yes, why don't we do that.

SPT-EVA We'll remember the numbers if we can.

PLT-EVA Yes, and - -

SPT-EVA I don't know why this thing didn't stretch - You


know the sail we ran up at Marshall?

PLT-EVA Yes.

218 23 3_ 37 CDR Hadn't been packed in the bag and vacuumed packed
here in this workshop for - several months. Thing's
been up here for 3 months.

SPT-EVA Parasol is perfectly deployed now.


5O8

CDR Good. That's the best it's ever been, huh? Okay,
Jack. Are you finished there?

218 23 34 52 PLT-EVA Yes, I've got these tightened down.

CDR Both sides. Okay now, 0wen, send out the boom.
Jack, get down and get the foot restraint; stick
it on the boom.

PLT-EVA I don't know how tight to make these, A1.

218 23 35 03 CDR Tight enough to stay, but not too tight that - Owen
can't get them out next time and adjust them.

PLT-EVA Well, the thing that's - going to hold him down


is - the one in the middle.

CDR Okay, just do it. Try to do the best you can


under - with those rules, because 0wen may have
to move it.

218 23 35 23 SPT-EVA Okay, they're just - they're not too tight. Which I_
ones do I adjust? The ones on the side? The ones
on the side really aren't the - You have to loosen
'era,but they don't really adjust the thing. This
one right here that pulls it up and down is the
one that adjusts the thing. There's a lot of
tension on it right now because the poles are
bent.

PLT-EVA I see.

218 23 35 38 SPT-EVA And that ain't going to come loose. The only way
you can do it is like, grab a hold of this thing
like so - -

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA - - and lean against it with your shoulder, bend


the poles, and loosen this knot.

218 23 35 47 PLT-EVA I understand.

SPT-EVA And then it'll come loose.

PLT-EVA I understand.

SPT-EVA Okay, help me get out of this thing, and I'ii give
you the foot restraints back.
509

PLT-EVA All right.

218 23 36 07 CDR Now, you brought those two - you got two tethers
on your wrist, Jack, right?

PLT-EVA Yes, l've been using this other tether.

CDR And you want to make sure you've got them. We've
got to get all that stuff back in at the end.

218 23 36 29 PLT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA *** boom.

SPT-EVA Why? Do you need to look at the boom?

PLT-EVA Just a minute.

•SPT-EVA Okay.

218 23 36 46 PLT-EVA Tethered to me, it ain't going anywhere. Okay,


fireit downhere,O.

SPT-EVA There she comes.

218 23 37 i0 PLT-EVA *** more umbilical. Get up there and do that.

SPT-EVA You want more boom?

PLT-EVA More umbilical and more boom, both.

218 23 37 17 SPT-EVA One at a time; I'ii get the boom.

PLT-EVA 0h.'

SPT-EVA That good?

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA All right, here comes some umbilical.

218 23 37 27 PLT-EVA Okay, that's better. Okay, that's flush and locked.
•.. on tether. And you got her, O.

SPT-EVA Here it comes back.

._ 218 23 37 56 CDR Tether that thing in the FAS area, O.

8PT-EVA Thought l'd just leave it on the boom.


510

CDR Let me see what it says because we don't want to


start inventing new - new procedures; we just
want to do it. Says here - It may say that. Let
me Just find it.

218 23 38 27 PLT-EVA Okay, we're ready.

CDR Just a second. Leave it right on there just


exactly like you said.

PLT-EVA Bring them in?

SPT-EVA That 's right.

CDR It seemed to be; I guess it wasn't.

CDR (Laughter) Okay, come on in, Jack. Now, what you


need to do, Jack, as you approach, is to attach
your wrist tether to the $230 collector with the
red handle, the one nearest the FAS.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 23 39 03 CDR Remove the collector, the one nearest FAS, grab.
Fold and engage Velcro along edge.

218 23 39 27 CDR When you've done that, do the same thing to the
wrist tether. Use the same wrist tether. Do it
to the next collector, the one with the white
handle, which is the one farthest from the FAS.
Remove collector, fold and engage Velcro along
edge. So in other words, Just do both of them to
the same hook.

PLT-EVA Okay.

218 23 39 52 CDR Owen, when he hands you these wrist tethers, this
one wrist tether with the thing, you will take it
and hook - -

PLT-EVA I need some more rope, O.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA 321?

CDR Yougot it right. _-_


511

PLT-EVA Okay. Okay, the hooks now are coming around on


this side.

SPT-EVA And not _too much fighting with your feet there,
you're around the lighting .... pipes or some-
thing like that. What these pipes out here are,
no telling.

218 23 40 33 PLT-EVA Yes, the one with the red handle first, huh?

CDR Red handle first, nearest FAS.

SPT-EVA Okay, it's the one nearest you.

PLT-EVA Nearest the FAS.

218 23 40 41 CDR It really doesn't make any difference; Just get


either, because you're going to get them both.

• SPT-EVA No, there's a way - There's an order, though,


because one of them would - less contaminates.

218 23 40 49 CDR Okay, so you get the one nearest the FAS first,
and the one farthest from the FAS last. Good point.
You made it over Russia, China, Korea, and the
like, and you're out at sea again, gang.

SPT-EVA 0kay, he's got one; now what's he going to do with


it? Fold - -

CDR He's going to fold it along - fold it and Velcro


the edges.

218 23 41 15 SPT-EVA Okay, this is for Don Lind's comment. The color
on the interior is definitely different than the
one that you Just pulled off, Jack. Agreed?

PLT-EVA Yes, it's all silver and clean and nice.

SPT-EVA Yes, definite coloring.

218 23 41 30 CDR Think of the data we got him on the flyaround.

PLT-EVA Okay, there 's one.

218 23 hl 50 SPT-EVA If I was Don, I would have done it different and

position.

PLT-EVA Ain't many different positions to be in out here,


than this.

CDR *** looking down in the ocean right now and I see
a patch of very blue water. _-_

PLT-EVA Good, good.

218 23 42 29 CDR And emanating from that blue water, sort of like
it's a spring or something, are some waves, big
waves that I can see from here. It's almost
like something occurred.

SPT-EVA Hey, I'ii hold this one foot if you want, there.

PLT-EVA ... That's a good idea.

SPT-EVA There, I've got that foot for you.

CDR Way to work. Way to work.

218 23 42 51 PLT-EVA Okay. It's coming on down and fold. That a


baby_ Okay, now, we don't want to lose these.

SPT-EVA Now if you want to use two tethers, that's all


right, too; either way.

PLT-EVA Yes, I on - only got one.

SPT-EVA Oh, I thought you had a second tether there. ___


513

218 23 43 14 PLT-EVA Yes, I do, but it's got someth_ug on it.

SPT-EVA Okay.

218 23 43 31 PLT-EVA Okay, I got both of Don's things hooked. Now.

SPT-EVA Okay, there you go.

PLT-EVA ... open now.

218 23 44 15 PLT-EVA Now, 0., you got a place to hook these, don't you?
Where these others are. Why don't you take this
tether, matter of fact.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Just hook it.

SPT-EVA Just a minute; I was coming down to get it.

PLT-EVA That's okay. I'll hand it to you.

SPT-EVA Got it. Now I've got it.

PLT-EVA There you go.

218 23 44 42 SPT-EVA Now let me hook this one before I give you the
other one.

PLT-EVA Take your time.

SPT-EVA Okay?

PLT-EVA Okay, I got that. I'm all well tethered. Now I


can go out here. A1, I'm ready to go out with the
two cl - clips.

CDR Okay, you got them both?

PLT-EVA Yes, sir.

218 23 45 27 CDR Okay, now. Translate to 230, remove clip from


wrist tether and place over collector with blue
handle, which happens to be the farthest from the
_ FAS. That'sthe one you tmdid last, and do it
next to the test patch, right next to the test
patch, as you well know.
514

PLT-EVA Okay, I see a test patch.

218 23 _6 00 PLT-EVA Now, now. I can do it from here. That thing sure
is swinging in the breeze.

SPT-EVA Okay, I can stabilize you again if I can get this


umbilical behind me. Just a minute.

PLT-EVA Okay you got my foot.

218 23 46 21 SPT-EVA Oh boy, I got your foot.

PLT-EVA Now, I'll take this loose carefully so I don't


lose the other one.

SPT-EVA I heard you. Got it loose?

218 23 46 35 CDR You're going to have it on roughly on the MDA side


of the test patch, as I recall.

SPT-EVA Yes, and it's right, right flush against the - -

CDR Okay, now. Take the other one and put it 90


degrees away from the first clip and away from
the MDA.

PLT-EVA 90 degrees, huh?

218 23 46 53 CDR 90 degrees away from the MDA, from the first clip.

PLT-EVA It could either be clockwise or counterclockwise,


as we look at it from - -

218 23 47 02 CDR It should be, as I recall, counterclockwise. Now,


you want to get it where those things are streaming
in, Owen. And ... a little more.

SPT-EVA Yes, that seems - sounds - Yes, you're right.

CDE Okay.

218 23 47 17 PLT-EVA The queer thing about this is that right - right
where you want to clip it, there's - there's a
rivet that prevents me from clipping it right, and
that's right where the connection -See this
connection right here, 0.?

SPT-EVA
I can't
-
515

218 23 47 30 PLT-EVA They clipped that ring together?

SPT-EVA Yes.

218 23 47 34 PLT-EVA That's right where I want to put it. The only
thing I can do is to - get it off the test patch
a little ways. That's all he really wanted,
wasn't it?

CDR Yes.

218 23 47 53 PLT-EVA Okay now; 90 degrees, huh?

CDR Yes.

SPT-EVA ...

PLT-EVA That should be right over here.

SPT-PLT I can't quite reach it.

F_ 218 23 48 03 PLT-EVA Let me go around this way, O.

SPT-EVA All right ....

PLT-EVA Huh - oh' Look at the umbilical. Get it away.

SPT-EVA Now, 90 degrees.

PLT-EVA Which drum was it? Were they both on that upper
drum, or does this go on this drum?

218 23 48 33 CDR Yes, they are both on the same drum. The blue
handle one, the farthest from the FAS. It
should be facing generally, as you view it from
your standing position on the FAS, the 90-degree
occluded angle should be sort of towards your
head, in that general direction as opposed to
towards your feet. You know what I mean, Owen.
Generally away from the direction of the ATM.
Or is that right? Maybe I didn't say that right.
Yes, generally away from the direction of the
ATM- Sun.

PLT-EVA I didn't quite understand that. Would you -

218 23 49 22 CDR Your head is facing the opposite from the Sun,
right?
516

PLT-EVA Oh, from the Sun end. Yes, from the Sun end of it.

CDR Okay, so its 90-degree occluded angle should be


in that direction.

218 23 49 31 PLT-EVA I believe I got it. Don't I, 0.? I think so.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA Does that look like 90 degrees?

SPT-EVA Not quite; maybe a little too much. All right.


It's close to 90; it's close enough.

PLT-EVA Right there?

SPT-EVA It's where you're headed.

218 23 49 42 CDR He just means somewhere. He doesn't want you to


take it up and put it down, though. Remember, he
wants you to clamp it down one time and then slam
it in - not slam it in, but clip it on and then
push it in.

218 23 h9 56 PLT-EVA It's - it's done.

CDR Okay. Lean back and leap into the - l'm finding

Let me read this next page. Warning on, blah -
blah - blah. CLUSTER DELTA-P and light go off,
CLEAR. 0WS hatch opening. Okay, l'm going to
open this again. And we'll just go from there.
0keydoke?

PLT Okay.

219 00 05 29 CDR CLUSTER PRESS LOW. That brings us both to about


4.6. Oops! Okay, and let me - okay, now
it says when caution and warning rapid DELTA-P
and cluster press low go off - cluster pressure
low isn't going to go off for a while.

219 00 05 51 PLT I bet it will when we get the workshop open.

CDR Well if - it wants us to wait there, but let's


don't. Let's do this.

219 O0 05 59 CDR Jack, go to release handle, UNLOCK on OWS.

PLT Okay.

SPT Now just a second. If he does that, that hatch


goes which way?

PLT Comes this way.


527

219 00 06 ii SPT That's got too high a pressure there. You got
to watch out because you see it's - we're low
pressure. If he releases that handle, it will
blow inward.

PLT That hatch won't go in. It ... - -

SPT It won't go inward?

PLT It ... into the workshop, O.

219 00 06 22 _CDR Okay, go to UNLOCK.

CDR Okay.

PLT UNLOCK.

CDR Hatch handle to EQUALIZE PRESSURE.

219 00 06 28 PLT Okay, that's where it is.

CDR Okay, that's Just what we wanted. Now that thing's


going to pop off here, so watch out. It may go
pop here in a minute. When PRESSURE OWS equals
PRESS LOCK, PRESSURE EQUALIZATION VALVE, OPEN.
That 's 311.

219 00 06 52 PLT You got your hatch dog down, don't you, Al?

CDR No, they wanted it open.

PLT That thing is going to come swinging at you, _u.


You ought to have your equalization valve open - -

CDR It's open, and I'm standing back. It's supposed


to pop.

219 00 07 32 CDR I made a mistake in the depress. What I should


have done is leave that hatch closed there, Jack
and O.

SPT Which one?

219 O0 07 39 CDR I mean - I mean that pressure equalization valve


here closed.
528

SPT Yes.

CDR And then had Jack open the 0WS one and bleed then.

PLT Yes.

SPT Yes.

219 00 07 46 CDR Now what I did was open this one and bleed it ; now
it didn't make any difference, but I shouldn't
have done it.

219 00 07 51 SPT You mean we should have bled in from the workshop?

219 00 07 53 CDR I should have bled this only 30 seconds.

SPT Oh, okay.

CDR Then the rest from the workshop.

SPT I see. Okay. Okay. Everything is okay.

219 00 08 03 CDR The workshop pressure is 5.1. This pressure is


something else.

SPT It's up to 4.8 in here.

219 00 08 ii CDR It's coming. Warning: verify PRESS OWS, PRESS


FORWARD and PRESS LOCK equal before proceeding.

CDR Okay, we'll just wait a while; no hurry. Want to


make sure everything's equal.

PLT Nice going there, O.

SPT Same to you, Jack and AI.

219 02 35 21 SPT Okay, information on ED52, for Dr. Gause, Dr.


Raymond Gause, at Marshall, and please ask that
he relay this information to Miss Judy Miles, who
is the assistant PI of ED52. I Just managed to
get about six photographs this evening of the
first web spun byAnabella. I did not take some -
Arabella, Arabella, that's right. Correct that
name to Arabella. Because the web itself is of
such peculiar configuration, I modified the
technique. So I took a couple of photographs
looking sort of down toward one side, and a
535

couple of photographs looking up toward the other


side. I also took about a half of them with a
flash attachment and the other half with back
lighting from the side panels of the cage. I
also did it with hand-held camera, rather than with
the ED52 mount.

219 02 36 20 SPT I believe the hand-held camera will be doing


better than the fixed tripod because the fixed
tripod is not - first of all, not mounted all
that firmly and I can get in a little bit closer
by hand and still encompass the full cage or that
portion of the cage which I want to photograph.
And so I'll continue to take mostly hand-held
photographs and probably use the back lighting
for the most part but occasionally try a flash
attachment on later webs.

219 02 36 49 SPT Should comment in a little more detail - detail


about the configuration of the web. It - the
spider apparently improvised very well on it's
first attempt, althoughthe web attachmentfar
from across the corner of the cage - and then
after those have been strung, there have been
a few that have been run, what we would call,
what you would cast horizontal or parallel,
probably the initial stringers. And so, you
never develop, sort of a radial blood - circular
patterns that the spider web manages on the
ground because of the zero g. It took the extra
strength sort of from corner to corner; the spider,
I presume, will walk from one side around to the
other side and attach it at that point. And, so
if you were to sit down and figure out how you
going do it as a spider, it sort of looks like
that's the way the spider figured out for itself
as - to be the most practical way to make the web.
And she's has been sitting up in the top of the
cage all day very quietly, Just waiting for
something to come along. And - we'll see what
the web looks like tomorrow.

the twin-pole sunshade and put them in with the
same bag that Pete has got his tools that he used
on the SEVA. By that I mean, the things we got
in there are the two racks for the clothesline.
We've got the extra poles and racks and the sall
bag. We brought the sail bag in and hooked it
up in there, too. Now all those EVA tethers
that we have, which amount to about six or seven
plus a couple photo wrist tethers, plus a couple
place tethers I got up in D-h22 with all the rest
of the EVA equipment. Now, it seems to me that
422 would be a good locker. Just always stick
EVA things in and then if you need them, anything
in the way of EVA, Just go to that locker and it's
probably in there somewhere.

Frome, and Ed Gibson. Suggestion: Why don't
you fellows bring up some regular toothpaste, the
kind that you like, instead of using this Nasadent?
You don't need to swallow it. You can brush with
it, Just a little bit of water out of the water
gun, and then spit it in a tow - a towel or a -
a wipe, and then throw it away. And then you
can drink the rest. This Nasadent doesn't feel
like it's cleaning your teeth; it doesn't leave
a good flavor in your mouth. And at the end of
the meal, when you take - taste this, it kind of
spoils the meal, whereas regular toothpaste
leaves you nice and fresh. There's nothing
wrong with this stuff, except it just doesn't
have a - much of a zing to it and, personally,
I'd prefer to have - no, re - rephrase that and

I'm going to do is measure his calves and record
them. I'll give you a call in a second.

219 16 36 34 CDR Okay, M092 again; his left calf is 14-5/8 - It's

on board, and - or more - and they all look the
same until you read the numbers. And we're
trying to find a couple; we're going to Just use

we'll change it and we'll get something we can
stick with.

219 17 00 41 CDR Okay, biomed, this is the CDR again. The same
thing happened today as happens every single time.
We get those calibrates down very accurately on
the leg volume measuring system with the can open.
Then we close the can and they change about a
little bit over 0.1, so I have to go back and
adjust them. I'd like to recommend that we change
our procedures so that we do not calibrate the
legbands until we've closed the can. Then we can
calibrate the legbands very accurately. Then we
can go do the high cal and the low cal. As it is,
we're ending up calibrating two different times,
one with the can open, one with the can closed.
Please let us know, if you would, what we should
do. I'm now going to go HIGH CAL and LOW CAL
again, and I know they should pass because I've
Just reset them all.

to the ATM MOCR operators - ATOM's position.

219 17 22 14 SPT On the last rev, which Just finished here at


about 17:20 as I mentioned I did the extra
shopping list item 5 and extra building block
10, and I then went to the limb to take a look
at what was visible over on the east limb. I do
find that I can see above the chromospheric limb
another - oh, 10, 20, 30 arc seconds. There's
a nice filament apparently laying off the limb.
If not that, it's s_ne sort of active material
stretching out into the lower corona that is
quite visible on the H-alpha 1 or 2, but
._ principally the H-alpha i display. And if it is
desired to point at this material, it can be done,
540

and I would think it might be an interesting


thing to select for some of the JOPs to look at
the prominences - Just off the - At the moment,
there are some good ones off the limb of the Sun.

than the ones which I have already made. As a
matter of fact, time remaining is still about
01:20 on the day, and I am configured in S055

for the blamed people and for those associated
with the food and water intake of the crew. All
of our drinks are listed at 7-1/2 ounces. This
is like the orange, lemonade, grape, and so forth.
We found that 8 ounces makes a better fill and a
prop - a better dilution of the grape and so forth,
and so we're going to start making all of our
drinks from now on with 8 ounces instead of
7-1/2. And we will not report this as extra
water. You will Just simply have to note every
time that we've got that on our menu - grape or
orange, et cetera - that - so it should all have
8 ounces of water included. And that will be
standard from now on unless we tell you otherwise.

PLT Not for cocoa and instant - -

which are already pretty full cans and can

Everything went okay. I did not start the cuff
inflate until about 14 minutes - correction, 19

we were able to get the data. Don't think it'll
be a bad take, because we have tons of data on
him; blood pressure during the LBNP - few minutes
ago.

219 18 59 53 SPT Okay. This is the SPT on channel A with informa-


tion about the last ATM pass. It's now 19:00, so
it was a pass Just pre - preceding this time. Now
that's the one in which, at about the last
8 minutes, we had the apparent flare indication.
I'm convinced that it was a small flare with
X-ray emission because the IMAGE INTENSITY COUNT
exceeded 30. The BERYLLIUM APERTURE stepped down
to 1, and I believe that the BERYLLIUM COUNT at
that time was greater than 3100. I note to check
the down-link telemetry to Just make sure. But
the whole event lasted on the order of l0 minutes
or so. Very fortunately, we've been studying that
active region for the whole orbit, and also, I
think, fortunately, the S055 mirror line scan has
been operating right along that neutral line and
passing through several of the bright spots, which
did increase in intensity. And so I think there
is a good chance that they will see the entire
history of that fairly small flare, which I believe
had X-ray emission, as it developed and as it de-
cayed. And I would appreciate getting back any
commentsfrom the ATM people as to whether or not
542

any of their other satellite data did show a cor-


responding X-ray enhancement during the time of
these observations.

219 19 01 20 SPT Let's see - I can't think of anything else that has
not been t_]ked about on real time. Pertinent to
this run, the operations all went as scheduled on
the pad. I did give, incidentally, a l- or 2-second
exposure of 82A in the SHORT WAVF_T.k_NGTHposition
during the setup for the flare ops, and I was in
the FLARE operation on 56 and 54 for a short period
of time.

219 19 01 49 SPT That's the end of the comnents relative to the


ATM pass from the SPT, and make sure this gets
as soon as possible to the - ATM people in the

219 22 23 37 PLT Okay, this is a little ... information on M092


run on AI Bean. The CABIN AIR - PERCENT 02 is
66.58 percent, PERCENT WATER is i0.76 percent,
and PERCENT C02 is 1.96 percent.

219 22 24 53 PLT Okay, that last set of readings was bad information.
Stand by and we'll get you some better ones on the
CABIN AIR.

219 22 32 42 PLT Okay. Here's the final readings on the - -

CDR That set is for the CABIN PRESSURE.

PLT - - M092 calibration. The PERCENT 02 is 68.06,

the PERCENT WATER is 8.78, PERCENT CO 2 is 1.98,


and that was on a CABIN PRESSURE of 4.930.

219 22 36 47 PLT Okay, we may have had a little problem with


those last readings on M093 because of the fact
i-- that I failed to CLOSE the EXHALED SAMPLE valve
at the time count zero zero. That may account
for some erroneous readings if they were, in
fact, erroneous.

219 22 37 08 PLT This is end of message on M092.

219 22 44 47 CDR For biomed; this is CDR. I'm Just getting ready
to do a 131-2 on Jack Lousma, the PLT. And
I set up the vertical shaft at 3.5 and the
biteboard support at M. Wasn't even close.
It's just because he rises out of the chair so
much in zero g, we had to readjust it; so we
readjusted it and it came out to be ll and K.
Now it seems to me you might want to think about
making that DELTA to - to the rest of the people
in the - Jerry Carr's crew, so that - instead of
coming up here and having to waste time figuring
out what to do when you can add a DELTA to it.
It might not be exact, but it would sure be
closer to the ground numbers. Now second subject.
When I ran M092 today, I had my saddle on 9. I
found that it sucked me too far down into the can,
squeezed on my stomach, and cut off the blood.
So I took and put it on about 6, which pushed me
f out of the can a lot more and made it work a lot
better. Now I didn't put it on 6 until after the
run, but it looks to me like a 6 might be a
number certainly better than 9.

219 23 13 29 PLT Okay, this is Jack on channel A. Just finished


the M131-2. I'ii answer the questions at the
end; then AI will later come in and give you the
numbers. Answer to question number i is I find
it more difficult to make spatial orientation in
zero g than in one g simply because you don't
have the seat-of-the-pants feeling.

219 23 14 14 PLT The answer to the question number 2 is - No, I


did not experience conflict between sensory c_es. I
felt I was consistent each time, although I don't
think I was accurate each time. But I was
consistently inaccurate. I had some sense of the
feeling of what the upright was. That's simply
because I had some pressure on my back and simply
because ... right - the upright visually as _-_
opposed to using a combination of gravity vectors
and visual sighting. We now only use visual
sighting, but through our work in the trainer,
what normally seems to be upright still visually
appears upright, although it may not value-wise.
My judgments were not influenced by auditory cues
or other environmental factors. And the answer
to question number 5 is yes. And I have no
additional comments or observations other than
those which I made in answer to question 3.

219 23 15 36 PLT This is Jack out on M131-2, and AI will give you

220 00 53 35 SPT Okay, the following question on channel A goes


to the ATM people, ATM Czar, and A1 Holt -
particularly to A1 Holt in Flight Crew Support
Division. A1, I notice on building block 33
and building block 36, JOP hA, that it lists for
XUV time WAVELENGTH SHORT, experiment, 3:20,
3 - plus - 20. In the pad that came up, it had
three different exposure lengths on it, 10h0 and
2 plus 40, all of which together totaled 3 plus
20. Now I had interpreted that before as meaning
that there was one exposure of 3 plus 20 from
the way the J0P ... is written. Could you let
me know as soon as possible if that does not mean
one exposure of 3 plus 20, but instead the various
differing exposures that are set up on the pad.
I suppose the answer must be the last one, but
I'd like sere clarification on it.

220 00 54 32 SPT End of message from SPT to A1 Holt and to the


ATM planners.

220 01 16 06 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A, debriefing


the last ATM run which was over at about 01:10
this pass. First of all, I had an earlier
question for A1 Holt and some of the other ATM
PIs about these - pad which was sent up which gave
three times for an NRL XUV exposure. I now have
that cleared up. I think that that was for a
JOP 12D, which I had failed to perform on the
last orbit. I got interested in active region
85 and overlooked the fact that I still had not

completed the slewing work for NRL on JOP - on


55O

JOP 12D. So if the schedulers would please take


note of that and send me up, if possible, a -
tomorrow or the next day, a new effort to do
JOP 12D, I'd appreciate it. Sorry I overlooked
that. As far as what was accomplished, I debriefed
on the real-time loop the work on the very bright
spots that showed up in active region 85 at the
first part of the orbit. Large - active region
85 has the large leading spot and at this time
there were three trailing spots.

220 01 17 17 SPT A very bright spot showed up about the middle -


alongside the middle of the trailing spot, very
small size, only a few arc seconds in diameter
it appeared, and a contrast of 5 or 10,000 on
DETECTOR 3 as opposed to DETECTOR 3 readings of
about 100 when off the spot.

CDR ... 191900 ...

220 01 17 46 SPT Okay. Picking up again.

SPT So I did a MIRROR LINE SCAN across the spot and


then a GRATING AUTO SCAN and an abbreviated
MIRROR AUTO RASTER for 55 ; at the same time,
took a 2-plus-h0-second SHORT WAVELENGTH exposure
for XUV. That frame number, 5020. Following that
I went over to the prominence program schedule,
and XUV MON shows the prominence extending far
out into the corona - and I did complete the
J0P - connection building block 36 as specified.
Then I was supposed to do J0P 12D and I forgot it.
Then went back and picked up a copy with item
number 8 in active region 85. And still a number
of bright spots are showing up in the network, but
S056 and 55 and 82B all have some data in that
general area.

220 02 35 26 SPT Debriefing the last ATM run here; we've got about
8 minutes to go on it, but I wanted to get in the
information that Jack Just did a very precise
JOP 12 Delta that I had omitted on the previous
rev. On the end of this one, it was run near the
center of the Sun and very smoothly plus or minus
30 seconds for the precise length of time involved.
And no need to reschedule it because it's been
taken care of for 82B.

220 02 36 14 SPT And give that information please to the ATM plan-

220 02 57 58 PLT End of message.

220 03 04 50 PLT Okay, this is Jack on channel A, space fans. The


subject tonight is EREP. I have in front of me
the adjustments I made on S192 to get it into
proper alignment. Going back quite a ways in
history, but I'll recall as best I can and - the
first things that we did with EREP was - with
S192 - was to loosen the cooler and replace it on
this mount. And that same night, before I left
I - adjusted the X and Y meter, X and Y dials for
Just a couple of minutes to see what I could do
with them without adjusting the focus. And I
noticed that without adjusting the focus at all I
was able to - by Just adjusting X and Y - I was
able to raise the left meter to 75 and the right
meter to 27 percent. That concluded the operation
for that night. I didn't have time to do any
more and the following ds_ or two, why, you gave me
confirmation to go ahead and make - go through the
complete alignment procedures, which I did. Now
to give you that data, it will require you to
make five col,_mns. What you should first do is
ma_e a Col,lmn headed "Focus." The next col_ to
the right should be the "Left meter. " The third
column should be "Right meter." After that, we wait
I- 5 minutes. Next the Y and X adjustment begins the
fourth column, which should be labeled "Left meter,"
and the fifth col1_,n, labeled "Right meter."
552

So under the first col1_mn, which is labeled


"Focus", you should write the first line as is,
without touching the focus. I was able to get in
the second col1_mn, "Left meter," 75 percent. In
the third col1_mu, labeled "Right meter," 27 percent
And after waiting, then the next step that I did
was go back to - and adjust the focus.

220 03 07 38 PLT So starting out with line 2, I went clockwise 1/12


of a turn. I believe that the night preceding
I gave you how many ... and how many grooves
were visible on that focus aJudgment - adjustment.
But at any rate, the second line should be
"Clockwise focus 1/12 turn." Gave a meter reading,
left: 25; right, 27. I then waited 5 minutes,
adjusted Y and X to get, in your fourth coll_n,
for the left meter, 76 percent; right meter,
32 percent. Third line, I went clockwise on the
focus another 1/12 - we'll call that 2/12; that
gave a left meter of 76 and right meter of 45.
I was doing so good at that point, that I didn't _-_
want to keep waiting 5 minutes to adjust Y and X
because I didn't have that much time. So I
kept adjusting the focus. I adjusted clockwise
3/12, that's one more twelfth. That should be
your fourth line, "Clockwise, S/12." On the focus,
I gave a left meter of 79 and a right meter of 3/8.
Fourth line, the focus went clockwise to the
4/12 position. Left meter read 80; right meter
read 40.

220 03 09 12 PLT The next line, I went and adjusted the focus again.
I went clockwise to 5/12. Left meter read 80;
right meter read 45. At this point I decided to
adjust left and right so I waited 5 minutes; so
on that same line over on the right, fourth col1_mn,
you should write that the left meter was then
adjusted to 80 and the right meter was adjusted
to 40, which isn't so much of an improvement.
Okay, the next line. Under the focus I went to
6/12 position. Left meter read 81; right meter,
44.

220 03 09 57 PLT I didn't wait and I went right back and adjusted
the focus again. I went clockwise to 7/12 position
That gave the left meter an 82 and the right meter _
a 47. Again I adjusted the focus. I went clock-
wise again to 8/12 position. That gave left meter,
553

82; right meter, 46. I then waited 5 minutes and


adjusted Y to X - Y and X to get, in your fourth
col1_mn, 83 for the left meter and 50 for the right
meter. Went back and adjusted the focus again to
the 9/12 position. That gave left, 8B; right, 50.
After a 5-minute wait and another adjustment, that
gave me in the fourth column 84 percent and
52 percent on the right meter. Okay, then I went
and adjusted the focuses again, clockwise to the
10/12 position. This gave me, on the left meter,
84; on the right meter, 64. Wait 5 minutes, adjust
X/Y, get left meter of 84, right meter of 55.
Okay, adjust focus again to the ll/12 position;
that gives left meter 85, right meter, 60. Wait
5 minutes adjust left/right; get left meter, 85;
right meter 62. Okay, then adjust focus again to
12/12 position. Get left meter, 82; right
meter 7B. Wait 5 minutes; adjust Y/X; get left
meter, 85 ; right meter, 61. Okay, focus again,
we go to the 13/12 position. Don't have any
numbersfor left to right meter, but after I
waited 5 minutes and adjust it again, I get left
meter, 85; right meter, 60. So we're getting
close.

220 03 12 12 PLT Okay, the final focus adjustment was 1 - was back
1/24 of a turn counterclockwise. So from the
clockwise 13/12 position, I didn't read the left/
right meter, I Just waited 5 minutes and picked
up Y and X. Got on the left meter, 85; right
meter, 65. That was the final focus setting. Thus
I calculated to be clockwise twenty-five 1/24
turns from its original position. After this I
adjusted the X control to _Aximize the right meter
to get less that 82 percent, which is 3 percent
below its maximum range. Thus my final readings
were: left meter, 82 percent; right meter,
66 percent.

220 03 13 32 PLT Okay, this is Jack again on EREP S192 alignment.


We'll now discuss the thermal alignment. I did
the thermal alignment according to the checklist
on page 10-9. I could adjust the meter was -
the meter was reading 12-1/2 percent. I did the -
I could not get it to read greater than 12 percent.
_ By using X of 0.527 or Z - and Z of 0.518. Let me
correct what I said. The micrometers were set at
0. 527 X and 0.518 Z reading 12-1/2 percent. I
554

could not change the meter reading by changing


those micrometer settings ; therefore, I went to
your first troubleshooting procedure which said
to set X at 0.477 and Z at 0.527 and to rotate the
focus one turn towards the Dewar from the ... stop
nearest the micrometer. That didn't do any good
either. The meter ril - still read 12-1/2 percent.

220 03 15 09 PLT Okay, now changing the micrometer from that


position did not permit the meter to go more
than 12-1/2 percent again. So I wound up doing
the thermal square search pattern for the primary
cooler/detector on page 10-11 as modified by your
message. And I went through all of those steps
starting at X equals 0.477, Z equals 0.527, and
I didn't get anything until I got down to 0.726
when I Just happened to notice out of the corner
of my eye that the meter flickered a little bit.
And it turned out that at an X of 0.540 and a
Z of 0.495, the meter shot up to the blg sum of
18 percent. And I found that at X equals 0.537
and Z equals 0.490, I got the maximum reading I
could get by twiddling - twiddling X and Z; that
was 20 percent, max reading. Anything different
than that gave a lower reading. Therefore, I
went back to the procedure again, which told me
to go to the right meter peaking. Okay, I did
the right meter peaking, and I believe your
procedure had me start out with a focus. One
turn off the ... stop nearest the micrometer,
that 's correct.

220 03 16 51 PLT Starting from there, again make five columns.


The first col_,m_ is "Focus," the second column
is right meter, then we wait 5 minutes and adjust.
You get the third col_mn which is, again, "Right
meter." The fourth co113mn is "X micrometer" and
the fifth colleen is "Z micrometer." So starting
from 19 percent for the right meter, with X equals
0.537 and Z equals 0.490, your first line should
read this way: I went clockwise, looking from
the micrometer in, one-quarter of a turn as
specified in the procedure. That gave a meter -
a a right meter reading of 19 percent. I waited
5 minutes, then adjusted the meter - or adjusted
the X and Z controls. That gave a right meter
reading of 22 percent. X was 5 - 0.540; Z was
0.490. Second line was clockwise again one-quarter
555

of a turn more. It gave the right meter a


24 percent, wait 5 minutes and adjust, gave the
right meter a 30 percent; X read 0.545; Z was 0.490.
Okay, the third line; clockwise again one-quarter
of a turn gave the right meter a 34 percent.
Wait 5 minutes; adjust; right meter reads 40 percent
with X at 0.548, Z at 0.491. Fourth line: adjust
focus one-quarter turn more, which is one full
turn from the initial position clockwise ....
Altogether now we've gone one full turn clockwise
from the starting position. That gave a meter
reading of 43 percent. Wait 5 meats - 5 minutes
and adjust, give the right meter a 45 percent.
X was 0.546; Z, 0.491. I attempted to adjust
the focus either side of that. I noticed that
when I went back counterclockwise Just a little
bit, the meter went clear down to 12 percent
again and didn't want to come up very much. As
soon as I touched it again going back clockwise,
it would come up to its original 45 percent
r reading. It happenedeach time I touched it. •

220 03 19 45 PLT So I felt that I'd m_ximize it to its fullest


extent; I tried to go clockwise a little more.
It didn't do any good; went back counterclockwise;
it went down to 12 percent. So I came back
clockwise to its - the last position I read you.

One full turn off its initial - its original posi-


tion, and I quit right there because I admitted I
couldn't do any better and didn't appear to have
any better luck by changing things and I felt that
if I'd gone counterclockwise one more time maybe
I'd never get it back up. So I left it at 45 per-
cent on the right meter and it was X equals 0.546,
Z equals 0.491, and I believe that's as good as we
can do.

changed for this flight with those new extra
time exposures on 82A and B. Step A can no
longer be done in anything like 7 minutes. This
morning it took me from 38 to 15 on the time re-
maining clock, which is a little over 20 minutes
to complete step A. I was distracted by several
other things, but particularly with the time ex-
posures that were sent up. It is at least a
15-minute Job to complete step A, and there
should be some appropriate time allowance made. f_
For each of those time exposures you had to do
82A and B separately, not overlapping, as it
shown on the building block. That stretches it
out. Then the times involved were up to 4 min-
utes, which stretches them out fUrther and then
you are also distracted by four other experiments
that have to be managed. So the 7 minutes on
step A is completely unreasonable. It is at
least a 15-minute time block, and as I said it
took me a little over 20 minutes to do it today.

220 15 ll 53 SPT Therefore on step B, it could not be completed on


the last orbit. I did complete down to the first
truncation point in time - 20. On this 55 experi-
ment, I gave it two GRATING AUTO SCANS instead of
three and then I gave it one MIRROR AUTO RASTER at
the end of that. The S054 and 56 had their expo-
sures - the last exposures - cut Just a little bit
short for the JOP. Then I gave it a JOP 7 in the
last couple of minutes. So that's the only parti-
cular comment. Oh, yes, there was a JOP 12 Delta
scheduled because I - onetime reported that I
didn't get a chance to finish it last night. Now
we did get that J0P done on Jack's last orbit last
night, and so it is possible you do not need to
schedule another 12 Delta since it was done - last
night - instead. So we will be picking up at the
557

regular scheduled time after this, two revs from


now, but please make note on that synoptic build-
ing block, building block l, that there is Just
no way to do step A in the allotted time.

220 15 13 06 SPT That is the end of these comments from the SPT,
and they must go to A1 Holt at JSC and to the ATM
flight planners in the ATM Science Room, particu-
larly to the ATM Czars and the flight - ATM flight
controllers.

220 15 28 34 CDR Okay, this is the friendly CDR and we Just passed
time T-2. I put 192 to MODE, CHECK and I'm voice
recording D-6. D-6 happens to be 58, 58 percent.

220 15 38 03 CDR Jack, go to RECORD, Jack.

220 15 38 09 CDR Okay, Houston, we are going to give you all our
readings here. And if you go out of contact, of
course, they'll be on RECORD. I'll Just give
f- themall.

220 15 38 15 CC Okay, we've got ... you for about 3 minutes.

CDR Okay, gage A, starting with l: _6, 59, 86, 72,

220 15 40 01 CDR Okay, here comes C: l, 0, 4h, 88, 71, 82, 46, 55,
and 55 was number 7. Okay. Now going to panel D -
gage D. Zero - that's on l; 1 is 0, 86, 85, 72,
14, 58, 40, and that was 7, h0. Now let me read
you the ones that they called out second. B-T,
30; B-8, l; C-7, 56; D-6, 58; and C-7 was not
greater than 80, so everything's okay. We're
standing by for 5 minutes.

PLT Yes, ...

220 15 51 52 CDR At the right time; I'll be gypped [?].

_-_ PLT ...

CDR Can't; Just let her go. Won't make ally difference.

CDR Did you close your shutter again?

PLT No, it's still ... sticking.

CDR If it does; you want to close the shutter to keep


it from locking on - on - the beam or something?

220 15 52 16 PLT Hello there, Houston. How you read the kid?

PLT How - how come nobody's reading me?

CDR Because they are not - Here, I'll help you.

PLT Oh, we lost them again, huh?

CDR Uh-hm.

CDR I'm going to give you an AUTO CAL in a minute and


a half.

220 15 52 40 PLT Okay. Let's begin it on time because I've got an


i earlyperformance check.

CDR Let me go check that star tracker. If it didn't


get it, I'm going to kick it back to closed, okay?
56O

220 15 52 57 PLT It looks like it's locked up, AI.

CDR No, it didn't.

PLT It didn't?

CDR No.

220 15 53 12 PLT I thought the gimbal angles were constant.

CDR Don't want to close either. Now, let's see what


happens. Try the door. Yes, that 's pretty good.

220 15 53 30 CDR Tracker's been sort of a pain - slightly.

PLT Yes.

CDR Jack, you ready for an AUTO CAL at exactly 54?

220 15 53 48 PLT You name it, I'll do it.

CDR 15 seconds, over to you.

coastal stratus clouds - right. Okay, Just track
them. Special 02, we'll get them at 57:17, six
of them. IMC, OFF/HIGH; 15 which means ... 35.
And zero, huh. DAC ON; h5-degree turn.

CC ...

PLT Go back to site. IMC, ON.

220 15 54 49 PLT Will do. Then I set the 120 fps, then I move up
to the h5 and right 0.8. 140, we go for San Juanie
Reservoir [sic: San Juan Reservoir] - Reservoir!
We track the lake - -

CDR 20:30, okay?


561

PLT - - until 5 degrees and then we put the - track


uniform-appearing forest area along the lake
shore - -

CDR Okay.

PLT And you want the north shore - north shore, that
is.

220 15 55 ll CDR The one by the fingers.

PLT Yes.

CDR You get that and you'll be a hero, Jack.

220 15 55 17 PLT If we got the right Sun, I'll be a hero. Let's


see - we've got 4 o'clock here; that's - that's
noon in Denver, isn't it?

CDR No ; in Denver it 's l0 o 'clock.

PLT That's right, l0 o'clock. We might get a good


reflection off the lake.

220 15 55 36 CDR That's right. Right in your eyeball; that'll be


good.

PLT Rio Grande Reservoir. Six fingers is what I'm


looking for. We're coming right in parallel to
that track - parallel to the long axis of the
lake. That's where the kids got a duck a couple
of years ago. No more than 5 miles from there.

220 15 56 01 CDR It's bumping, what?

CDR 56:23, I've got to go - MODE, AUTO, on 190.

220 15 56 13 CDE 6:23 - There's Houston.

CDR 56:23, MODE, AUTO. Jack, READY, on at 56:h0. I'll


give you a call.

PLT Okay.

220 15 56 36 CDR 5 seconds from READY, on.

220 15 56 h0 CDR READY is on.

220 15 56 42 PLT Okay?


562

220 16 03 36 PLT Grand job on that. Looks like it came up a little


bit shy of the target, the site, rather - -

CDR Stand by. Stand by. Pitch, plus 30.

PLT Okay. Now we're shooting for Lake Somerville - -

CDR ...

PLT Wait a minute there. Here comes the clouds again,


Houston.

CDR 04:24. Rat fink.

220 16 04 03 PLT Lake Somerville, and Rosenberg, San Bernard Basin,


Shell Tower. Standby for 04:48 .... you do have
clouds down there, Houston.

220 16 04 24 CDR 04:24; 192, MODE, READY. 04:40, 193, S to STANDBY.

PLT See nothingbut cloudsand brown.

220 16 04 40 PLT MARK. 04:40; let's zoom it in - see what we


got ...

PLT Recognize anything down there, Houston .... Lake


Somerville. I don't see no Lake Somerville,
Houston. I got some kind of a road structure,
but - -

CDR ... MALFUNCTION 3 light is on.

PLT Looks like a freeway around a city, must be around


Brenham. I'll bet it is. I'ii bet that's the
highway around Brenham.

CDR Well, MALFUNCTION light 3 is on, Houston. But we


Just keep pressing on.

220 16 06 06 PLT Clouds really louse you up. Out to the coast.
There's nothing out at the coast.

CDR You know when they invent a new pointer, they


ought to invent radar pointer - -

PLT The coast is completely clobbered, Houston. _

CDR So you could point with a tipper like a - in all


kinds of weather - have an offset, 52.
563

PLT There's the city of Houston.

CDE And ... 92, MODE to CHECK at 06: 52.

CDR Maybe that camera 3 didn't really run out of film.


It had a real; who knows.

220 16 06 54 CDR Okay, 192 to CHECK.

220 16 06 56 PLT That's the Corpus Christi area. Houston, the


whole coast is clobbered in. I can't get the
Shell Tower or San Bernard, either one. They're
all under the clouds, solid clouds, in this case.
Complete overcast out there.

220 18 07 09 CC Copy that, Jack.

PLT Doggone it.

CDR INTERVALOMETER, 20 ; VTS to AUTO CAL. Get an AUTO


_ CAL,Jack,whenyou can.

PLT All right ....

CDR Got to keep going.

220 16 07 21 PLT Houston, looks like you homed me in on Brenham


there. I'm not sure, but there's a town with -
you homed me in on a city with a freeway around
the south side of it, looked like it was an outer
belt or south loop - half of a loop around some-
thing. West to east around the south side of some
city and I don't know if that's Brenham or not,
but it might have been.

220 16 07 48 CC Okay, we copy that.

220 16 07 50 CDE What do you think of this camera 3? Do you think


it really ran out of film, or or we had a malfunc-
tion?

CC It's kind of early to run out of fi]m. We're


looking at it.

CDE All that I could maybe guess was it had a 6-day


filmor somethingcrazylikethat.

CC Okay.

CDR You finished Jack, or you got another site?

PLT No, that's it, doggone it.

220 16 08 ll CDR Why don't you take this lid off and take a look
at 3?

PLT No, we don't want to expose the back side there.

CDR Oh, okay. Maybe you - can sneak a peek - pick up


the right-hand corner. Oh, that's right, because
it's liable to bother the exposures taken.

PLT Yes.

220 16 08 34 CDR You're right. Good thinking.

SPT ...

PLT No, sir.

CDR No, we're not, O.

SPT ...

CDR I've got another - 25 minutes - 15 minutes or so.

SPT ...

PLT Well, don't know what they've done with - you homed
me in on there, Houston. I - if it was Brenham, I
went back to try get Somerville, but there wasn't
any Somerville there, so must not have been Bren-
ham. Must have been something else.

220 16 09 05 CDR Stand by for READY, out, Jack.

220 16 09 ll CDR 9, 10, Your READY out should be out. Okay?

PLT It's out.

CDR I mean, that's me, not you. I'm sorry.

220 16 09 18 CDR STANDBY, OFF; R, OFF; S, ON; R, ON; 09:38 Good.


S to STANDBY. Told them where we were even.
565

PLT And, Houston, I saw a little bit of a road from


San Antone into Houston, Highway I-i0, and I went
from - I identified the - the point in the road
where it's either the Brazos River or the - the
river to the east of the Brazos crosses - -

220 16 09 48 CDR 191 READY on now, Jack.

PLT - - crosses the highway.

CDR Mine isn't, but yours is supposed to be.

PLT I went directly from there and the salt dome area
was obscured from - by clouds, unable to see it.

CC Okay, Jack.

220 16 i0 02 CDR OFF .... 90, SHUTTER SPEED, slow .... 30.

220 16 i0 41 CDR Okay.

220 16 i0 45 PLT Got to start in 6 to 8 minutes.

CDR Okay, 0wen, we're kind of cooling it up here for


about 5 minutes; then we EREP start again. We must
be whistling over water.

SPT ...

CDR Let's take a look at that in camera 3, Jack,


unless you've got something to do.

PLT All right. I'll take a look.

220 16 lO 57 CC A1, we'd like you to check the circuit breaker on


that 190, for camera 3.

PLT ... Yes, let's lift it up this way, A1. Don't


take it all off.

CDR All right, go ahead.

i_ 220 16 ii 06 PLT Circuit breaker is CLOSED.


566

cc Okay.

CDR Why don't you take it off and remount it. Just
take it off and remount it.

220 16 ii lh CC We're - we're going LOS in about 30 seconds.


Stand by.

PLT Don't take that off.

PLT Why did you take that off?

CC Standing by until 16:. Jack, you're clear to use


the VTS across South America, or play - with or
without IMC, if you'd like.

PLT Okay, thank you.

CDR And we looked at the K-3 camera; took it off and


it had no film in it. So apparently it did run
out. _-_

CC Okay. Copy. Vanguard, 16:22.

220 16 ll 45 CDR Thank you, Jack.

PLT Yes, sir.

CDR That' s good. Excellent. That' s the way to do,


Jack. Somebody should have known that that was
going to run out.

PLT That thing ran out sooner than the rest.

CDR I'll Just bet you that that's a 6-day film.

PLT It might be.

220 16 12 01 CDR I'm glad we didn't have a mal because we don't want
to -

PLT We don't want any mals.

CDR You said it. You bet.

220 16 12 14 CDR I'm trying to look at what there is to look at


here.
567

CDR There's a good deal.

PLT I'll get up there and look at it. There it is.


What I'm looking at.

CDR What is it? It is the place we think it is?

PLT Yes.

CDR Let me look, when you finish. You got a shot at


it the other day.

PLT Take a peek here. Let me get the map.

220 16 12 45 CDR Covered with clouds.

PLT Well, maybe we missed it, Alan. It might be the


Yucatan. Looks like it's the Yucatan.

/-_ SPT No, we're beyond that ...

CDR Where?

PLT Panama Canal, he says. If you move to the right,


you might see more. Supposed to be paralleling
Central America.

120 16 13 16 CDR Got to slew it. I don't want to slew it too much.
It was way to the left, is the reason. Now it's
about zero. You got it, Jack.

PLT I've seen it. Thank you.

220 16 13 17 SPT Panama Canal ...

CDR It is?

PLT ... about in there.

CDR yes.

PLT Well, that hacks me off, A1.

CDR Bad clouds, that's right. That's the way it goes.

f--_ PLT Yes.


568 ,_

220 16 13 57 CDR We're ready.

PLT At least - -

CDR Check that IMC while you're waiting, please. Pick


out some targets and see if you track them. Get a
handle on it, if it's a problem or not.

220 16 14 09 CDR A handle on that thing!

PLT Well, it's going down; it looks like it's to the


left of the - down to the left.

PLT Need to make an adjustment to that. Something's


wrong we got to see - -

CDR Tracking downward - straight downward, at the


moment.

PLT ... - -

CDR Try putting - try putting your VTS over to the left
to see what it does for a while - -

PLT Yes.

CDR You know, about 5 left and then put it 5 right.

PLT At 5 - 4 or 5 right, it's tracking straight down.

CDR Okay.

220 16 15 15 CDR Okay, we're ready to go again, on EREP START in


45 seconds.

PLT Yes, and the left - when it's over in the left,
it goes down to the right.

CDR Ready for an EREP START, Jack, me boy?

PLT Irregular too, do you know that?

CDR Is that right?

PLT It worries me; it's intermittent.


569

220 16 15 42 PLT The thing is - Now, it's not drifting back on -


on azimuth, but it's off of - The IMC is still
drifting down. Now it's stopped drifting. Well,
maybe I have a little transient near the end of
the run, there. Poke it up here again.

220 16 16 02 CDR EREF, START, Jack.

CDR Look for 18:00, Jack.

PLT Man, it drifts a lot when it's up high. There's


a 45-degree right, right down.

CDR We got to squawk that - -

PLT That's right. That 's bad.

CDR That might have hurt you on a couple of those


sites. Trouble is it won't be on the target.
We may want to have them give us a - you know -
fL may want to use something instead of the _5-degree
shot.

220 16 16 46 PLT I don't know. I think once - I think once you've


seen the target in the view finder - -

CDR You may never see it up at 8 - You'll be in


45 degrees.

PLT Yes, but you go to IMC and you see something up


there and you - and you can see the setting - -

CDR Yes, but mean - by the time you find from 45 to


30, it's going to be drifting off the spot.

220 16 17 l0 PLT That's what I say, if you keep it there why,


seeing something in the reticle - -

CDR Oh, I see what you're saying.

PLT Then you keep it there with hand controllers.


I know - drift's so random and you don't know
where anything's going that they couldn't give
you anything good, I don't think.

i_ 220 16 17 42 PLT At 5 right, it drifts straight down.

220 16 18 03 CDR READY, on 92. MODE, AUTO, on 90.


570

220 16 18 39 CDR MALFUNCTION lights, two, a team, on for FILM


ADVANCE. I assume the camera is out also.

CDR *** body stay loose. Two lights, get them, run
them out here.

PLT Just down to the right of the great ray on the left
side is pretty much straight down when you're
starting forward on the right.

CDR IMC trouble's Just bad. One of the baddest things


you can have.

220 16 19 23 PLT Here's the thing about it - now it's drifting to


the left. There is the curiosity.

CDR There are many curious things in this world ...


claim.

PLT l'm going to put it straight up in zer - 45 and


zero and see what kind of a snake _t makes all
the way down.
|

220 16 19 45 CDR Okay. Don't miss any sites, if you got them.

PLT No, I don't have any .... That cloud down there
must be about - oh, a quarter mile across. You
got to pick something.

CDR Don't pick clouds because you know it doesn't track


those. You got to track ground.

220 16 20 ll PLT Oh, I'm tracking the ground, but I'm going to pick
something that's - I want to see how long it takes
to go a quarter of a mile.

CDR There you go.

PLT It's the only thing I have to reference.

CDR Light 2, 3, 5, and 6 on the FILM ADVANCE are


out - I mean are on.

220 16 20 54 PLT I'd say it drifts a quarter of a mile tracking


distance, as a rough hack. Wow.

220 16 22 36 PLT Must be the horn. We got 657 and we got no IIC.
571

CDR How's the - -

PLT Beryllium - beryllium is only 2 volts in aperture h.


That - ... oh, hearing a horn or - we're in the
SAA, we' re coming in the SAA now.

CDR Yes. We know that. We know that. It's right


over South America.

PLT Or the other side.

CDR 430, 194, MODE, MANUAL - There's the old Vanguard.

220 16 23 08 CC Right. We've got you for 8 minutes.

CDR Okay, we're whistling along. We Just came into


the South Atlantic anomaly apparently because we
had a little master - I mean a little tone and all
six film advance lights are - FILM ADVANCE MAL-
FUNCTION lights are on now. The last two Just
_ came on about 2 seconds ago. So apparentlywe've
finished with 190. You may want me to turn it OFF
right now. I don't know.

220 16 23 39 PLT And, Crip, the IMC on the VTS does drift and -
I started out with a - at a 45 in zero and Just
went IMC, ON. And I'm at MAX ZOOM. I'm tracking -
trying to track an object on the ground. Or Just
letting it track by itself. It's not holding on
to any object on the ground. It seems to be
drifting down and to the right - say at about -
150-degree angle from 12 o'clock. And it looks
like to me, on the ground, that it's - at MAX ZOOM,
traversing about a quarter of a mile per second.
And it's a little bit intermittent it gets down
to - about a minus 15 degrees and then the - it
seems to - sometimes track straight down from
there as opposed to that 120-degree angle. I
don't think it's going to cause us to close up
the shop, but it's going to make things a little
trickier. May have been the reason that I
never saw Lake Somerville there. I should have
seen Somerville because the clouds weren't as bad
right there as they were around Rosenberg. And
I'd appreciate it if somebody could identify for
_ me a town in that area that'sgot that freeway

220 16 57 09 SPT Okay, SFT, on channel A, with information to the


190B Earth terrain camera people. And has to do
with the last EREP pass which we Just completed.
At the end of the EREP pass, there were 90 frames
on the counter. And then I ran the rest of the
film through as indicated in the checklist, and
followed that with three single-frame exposures,
even though presumably the film was either all
gone or right at the end. And that left the final
frame count, 93. And that is what has been logged
in the film log for today. Now, I also ran the
camera about 2-1/2 minutes extra at the end, as
we were crossing the coast of Brazil, South America,
because we had plemty of frames left and I knew
I was just going to run it all out and throw it
away anyway. So, had I stopped at 25 plus 15,
there would have been a lesser frame count. And
as it was, I ran to 27 plus 45, 2-1/2 minutes
longer. And apparently the operate pad in the Flight
Plan does not call for me to take that film out of
the magazine yet. It says here: "ETC magazine _-
depletion," which I did do, and the "ETC stow."
But I have not transferred the film out of the
canister and back into the container yet. Nor have
I obviously replaced the film in the magazine since
I don't know when that's to be done. But if the
film should taken out of the magazine and re-
turned to the canister, CTOB, please let me know
about it on tomorrow's Flight Plan. Information

220 18 17 58 SPT - - But also to the Marshall engineers particularly


Art White and Bill Keathley, and to our flight
planners associated with the A_ operation, is a
note on the behavior of the H-alpha 2 vidicon, or
c-_ra system. Occasionally - and it seems like
this was reported earlier on mission l, but the
explanation was never clear to me until I saw it.
Occasionally when it is turned on, and I believe
that it is only when H-alpha 2 is fully zoomed .....
out, the image will appear very bright, but then
telescoping inward and outward as if something
575

like a zoom lens, rapidly telescoping way in,


and then way out. And so it'll be a bright image
then, starting at the outside, filling the full
television screen. Then it will telescope down
to a point where it's only filling a portion of
that. Then it will zip in and out, telescoping
in and out, perhaps once a second with a rather
bright image. Apparently, this could be easily
remedied - remedied each time by simply taking
the ZOOM out of full max and zooming in a little
ways and then it'll stop and appear normal and
may have no more problems for the rest of the day.

220 18 19 19 SPT It seems like it only happens when it's first


powered up. And I'm not sure whether it is the
monitor or the H-alpha 2 vidicon, first powered
up; probably the H-alpha 2 vidicon. But that's
an unusual phenomenon and one that the engineers
ought to be thinking about, if they can under-
stand how this telescoping rapid - fairly rapid
_ oscillationappears to occur and whether or not
there's any potential damage to the instrument
if it is operated in this way.

you've got your concerted down-link on the VTR.
You've got it running on down-link now.

TIME SKIP

220 19 46 52 CDR Okay, this is the CDR completing his run on the
ATM. Everything went okay. As I reported real
time, I did not get the down-link on at 40, so
I put it on the VTR, where you'll find it. Ob-
viously I didn't roll as suggested, because I
was performing JOP 6 and it wanted a steady roll -
that's right, a steady roll. One thing that sur-
prised me is when I started doing JOP 4A, that
the small prominence was putting out much more
UV than the large one, and also that the - in
DETECTOR 3 - turned out to be right on the limb
of the Sun as opposed to either in on - in from
the limb or out further in on the prominence.
Now that's the point I chose, as I reported
real time, and I assume this is the technique
you would like to have us use as we continue on
what's left of the 50 days? The - I started the
last 56 SHORT - PATROL SHORT - after the CSM time
had decreased past the 350 mark, assuming that
perhaps you would be able to get some ds_a as we
drifted through the atmosphere. I don't know
whether you can or not, but it was 6000 frames
and I hope that that didn't hurt. You might be
interested. If you have any other comments on

I have a sense of rotating. I did, at the -
level 18. I could feel it - as - a physical sense
577 ''

of rotation. I did notice also that the line -


the little horizontal dark bars in the verti-
cal bright line, did rather frequently have a
tendency to move down when I first opened my eye.
It was rather like - the - cytoplasm streRm_ug
in a leaf, that is another one of our experiments
that we perform here. It actually has the appear-
ance of - a little bubble or so, the little dark
bands leaving the bubbles, moving down along the -
bright line strip.

220 20 42 i0 SPT And one additional comment: Yes, I still find


that I get sleepy whenever I put these goggles on.
As a matter of fact, two of my entries on step 8 -
level 8, were "no response" simply because - I
had waited too long and Jack had to remind me
again that he was waiting for an answer. And by
the time - by that time there was no more oppor-
tunity to sense the rotation. But two of my
"no responses" on level 8 were essentially be-
cause I had becometoo drowsyto notice- to
respond to the first tap on the shoulder. No
other comments on the OGI portion. We'll be mov-

220 21 12 58 SPT Okay, this is the SPT recording comments on chan-


nel A about the motion sensitivity run on M131
that I Just completed. The information goes to
the biomed people, in particular to Dr. Earl Miller
up at Pensacola and Dr. Jerry Hom_ck here at the
Center and those others interested in 131. Just
completed 150 head movements with no symptoms at
all at 20 rpms, and pretty much like Jack did the
other day, I guess. And, I Just commented that
Jack and we - it has been the same with him, that
there were - it was even an easier run than it
was on the ground with scop/Dex. Of course, we've
had no drugs up here at all. I had the impression
that, Jerry and Earl, that - the gyro-tumbling
effects that we did notice on the ground and which
I commentedhad sort of decay time of, oh, 3 or
4 seconds after each head movement when we were
578

using the scop/Dex on the ground. We would see


the gyro-tumbling and that would decay as soon
as the head movement stopped.

220 21 14 04 SPT Most of that was missing; I could feel the cori-
olis forces, but I was missing most of that gyro-
tumbling phenomenon. And it was not necessary
for anything to be damped out at the end of the
head movement. There was simply no unpleasant
sensation associated with the head movement. So
l'm confident l'm ready to go on up to 30 rpms -
with - no difficulty, and I have 1"ound that it's
remarkably easy. It seems to have, in some way,
gone beyond that which - the - adaptation or - -

220 21 14 55 SPT - - it's gone beyond even those desensitization


runs - that we did before launch, so - zero g has
apparently that favorable phenomenon. Although
it's also my impression that in - in whatever
way stomach awareness is communicated by your -
vestibular apparatus, zero g has some other chan-
nel - some different path to communicate itself
to your stomach that is essentially unaffected
by the desensitizing with scop/Dex. So that's
my impression of the MS at this point. We're
going on to 92/93.

that we ran a few minutes ago, with - with me
f- as the subject. I forgot to note or to mention
the fact that we moved the saddle for - my
position from 9 to 7. And the same thing is
going to be done for both A1 and Jack. They're
going to moving theirs up a couple of notches,
also. We find that we're sucked down a good
deal further into the can by the negative pres-
sure and - as compared with the - one-g situation.
And this puts the - plates Just above my hip
bone and that is about - my understanding of
where it should be, and therefore places the -
the vacuum over the proper portions of the anatomy.
So I think it's a proper location for zero g,
even though it is two notches different from that
which was used down in the one g. And this
information goes to the biomed people, particularly

DAY221(AM) 581 _

221 00 50 43 SPT Okay, this is the SPT with a message concerning


ED52, the web formation experiment. And the
information should go to John MacLeod at our Pro-
gram Office here and - in Houston; and to the
Science Supervisor, Dr. Gause, at Marshall; and
to the student PI, Miss Judy Miles, up in Lexing-
ton, Massachusetts. Now I Just took the photograph
of the spider web on the third night of construc-
tion, and it does look like it is a third inde-
pendent web. In fact, it - looks like there
have been improvements made each night.

221 00 51 25 SPT And I wanted to try to describe the method of


construction because some of this will probably
not be entirely clear from the two-dlmensional
photographs, assllm_ng they should even come out
perfectly. Last night the spider realized, ap-
parently, that the front part of the cage was not
a permanent fixture and that - the - doors could
be opened because on last night's web, the second
_ web, therewere at the bottom of the cage a few
of the radials which were attached to - or at
least touching the front of the glass. So when
I opened it up, why it disturbed the web a little
bit. It caused it to vibrate and shake and pull
a little bit. Tonight it appeared that the way
the web is constructed, the spider sort of walked
around on the wall, the four side walls of the
enclosure and strung some more or less single
elements diagonally across the corners. And then
also some of them - Well, it looks like that was
probably the first step, sort of diagonals across
the corner. And then from these diagonals, she
managed to start stringing additional stringers
from the - one diagonal to another. And then
eventually she was enough to get clear across the
diagonal and then she started her normal construc-
tion. But then in addition to that, some of these
radials have other stringers tied in towards the
back of the cage, and so by tightening up on
these stringers, she actually sort of pulled the
web back away from the front part of the cage a
little ways.

221 00 53 ll SPT So tonight when I opened up the doors - the doors


_-- were not touchingthe web in any way, and it
caused no - no Jostling or no stretching or
582

pulling of the formed web. And Arabella has been


sitting there very comfortably right in the center
all during the day. And so if she continues her
past pattern, why I suppose she'lL spin another
web every day or so. I don't know how long this
might go on.

221 00 53 44 SPT Just a moment, let me - let me stop here for a


moment.

221 00 53 59 SPT Yes, I see the experiment actually calls for spin-
ning only three webs during the entire experiment.
But now actually we'll, l'm sure, want to get a
few more photographs than that. We'll go ahead
use this Nikon to take photographs for the next
few nights as well. But I think we ought to be
thinking about what else we can do.

221 00 54 20 SPT If I followed the procedures, of course, l'd Just


bottle the spider back up and throw Arabella and
her backup, and the water vial, and so forth away. _
But there might be some other interesting things
we can do, because it doesn't take up very much
of our time to go ahead and leave the enclosure.
I think I'ii probably want to take if off of the
domed lockers and put it down some place where
it's a little bit more out of the way. But alter-
natives would be to try to put Arabella back
in the vial and release the backup spider and
see if the backup spider follows the same procedure
all over again.

221 00 54 55 SPT Alternatively, I - l'd appreciate some words on


this independently, l'd like to know what these
spiders can eat that we have on board. Could we
put any sort of vegetable or meat, obviously no
live food, in the web and would the spider consume
it? And so is there anything that we could feed
the spider or spiders to keep them alive a little
longer? And what of the possibility of putting
both spiders in the cage at the same time? I
understand one will eat the other. And does it
make any difference to anybody, or is that the
only way to provide a little bit of extra food
perhaps for one or other of the spiders. So I
would appreciate it if sometime tomorrow this word
could be transferred to Dr. Gause and John Macleod
583

in Houston and also, in particular, to the student


PI, Miss Judy Miles and let them get together on
a telephone conversation and then work out some
sort of a little recommendation and send it up
to us on the teleprinter. So end of message from
the SPT. And I'd like to do this as promptly as
possible to get to at least the three people
mentioned and any one - others around the Center
interested in the web formation experiment.

TIME SKIP

221 01 41 44 SPT Okay, this is the SPT at the ATM panel. I'm
debriefing the first ATM run. We haven't quite
reachedsunset yet, but we have reachedthe point
where I've got building block 28 started, which
is JOP 4A, step 7. Now there is a question about
how far we should be pointed off the limb and how
far away from the prominence. It's not certain
that on the preceding prominence setting we were
pointed out above the limb at all. As I under-
stand it from the CDR, he maximized DETECTOR
number 3, and that may have maximized just right
at the limb. And as a result, what I've done
here is to go to the prominence which is most
obvious - that is, the place where the prominence
is most apparent in H-Alpha - and then moved
out 25 arc seconds above the limb as measured by
the limb scan of 82B, about 25 seconds - arc
seconds from the limb, and then I had rolled - oh,
I'll give you the roll coordinates here.

221 01 42 56 SPT It's plus 9060 on ROLL. UP/DOWN is minus B1;


LEFT/RIGHT is minus 972. UP/DOWN is repeated.
Placarded MDA 130 minus 31; LEFT/RIGHT is minus 972.
And that's the coordinate of the point to which I
am now looking and that's - that's, as I say
again, 25 are seconds above the limb. And at
this point I have initiated the building block 28.
So I thought I should be giving you some back-
/_ ground information, but I'm not sure what sort of
briefing information you had from the prominence
itself.
584

221 01 43 46 SPT And on the earlier building block i, J0P 6, that


went off fine except for S056's DOOR was stuck
CLOSED at that time. I didn't get it OPEN until
near the end of that - building block i. I did
have time Just to get in the PATROL SHORT. And
since we're getting the PATROL NORMAL now out
here at the edge of the Sun, why, I hope that
would at least partially compensate and give you
at least about the same exposure, even though
not pointed at the same location.

221 01 44 24 SPT So that's the debriefing on the first run, and if


there are any other alterations, I'll let you
know.

221 01 44 34 SPT Oh, one other comment. I do appreciate having


the step A modified so promptly, and that did
enable me to get that step A done without any
difficulty in the allotted time. A couple of
those short ex - manual exposures can be handled,
but the longer ones, the one in 4 minutes, Just
can't be worked in without stretching it too
far. So I appreciate your very quick response
there.

221 01 47 18 SPT This information goes to A1 Holt and to the other


flight planners and to the ATM personnel.

221 01 _7 18 SPT SPT with more information for the ATM personnel.
There's no trouble in seeing these prominences
out - 20 to 30 arc seconds above the limb of the
Sun. If it's desired to point at bright material
out of these locations, and if filament 23 is
representative of what we may expect, I think it
is quite reasonable for us to point that far.
The XUV MON can also be used to indicate the
presence of activity. For example, there were
some other prominences that appeared to be as
good as some of the 20 - prominence 23. For
example, there is another prominence almost
directly off the west limb at this particular
time which looks, in H-alpha, a bit more inter-
esting than prominence 23. However, the XUV
MON does indicate that the featured (?) X-ray
wavelength is much brighter down here around
promince 23 than at the - directly at 090 on the
I 585
west limb. So that can also be used to indicate
the presence of bright material if you want to
point further off. And I think that we can do
so with the displays we have on board.

221 01 28 41 SPT End of this message to the ATM Science Room.

221 Ol 48 54 SPT More information for the ATM Science Room. There
was a question sent up earlier about whether or
not there was any difference in the appearance of
the filament from any Doppler shifts on the east
and west limb - correction, (chuckLe) that's
sunrise and sunset as we go around the Earth's
limb. And my first impression is I haven't
noticed any, but I have also not been able to
give it a very accurate test. I've not had the
time to really look at a prominence and get an
idea and find out what it looks like and then
check it again _5 minutes later. It's possible
that photographs will help on that, but again
we're just uot set up to take that many photographs
right now. On top of that, at least as far as
active region 85 is concerned, the filaments are
changing so fast, they'll definitely change over
a period of 45 minutes. So I can't give you a
good answer to the question now, and I may not be
able to for several days. But my first impression
is there is no obvious difference due to Doppler
shifts or to sunrise or sunset intervals. This
may tell you something also about the H-alpha
filters - where their center band is located.
In fact that may be the reason you asked the
question.

221 01 50 07 SPT But whether it's that or - it's a question of


whether or not we couldn't have pointed to
something or whether or not the picture appeared
differently; either way - that's the best answer
I can give you at the moment.

221 01 51 43 SPT One more bit of information to the ATM Science


Room from the SPT. We've got a lot of JOP 7 data,
all at sunset, from the various runs recorded

PLT Wait a minute until I come to it. I think it's


in my checklist somewhere, or is it in yours?
*** if you got to get it before - Okay - voice
record Bravo 7.

221 14 02 35 PLT Okay, EREP fans. The Bravo 7 is reading at


030 percent. 192 DOOR, CLOSED.

SPT Stand by for a 63 MARK.

221 14 02 53 SPT MARK. OPEN. Come up with South America down


there; it's the very eastern tip.

PLT Okay, the 190 DOOR is CLOSED and latched. Okay,


I'm going to leave the recorder on for you, O.
I'm going off the headset soon here.

221 14 03 19 SPT Okay, we're coming up on the second 2700-angstrom


mark here, and I wanted to make a couple
of comments about the attempts back there at
13:58:30 to get two exposures of the same target.
It moved from the center of the field of the
view to the edge of the field of view in only
about 5 seconds - 5 to 6 seconds. That is
insufficient time to - drive the handwheel
beyond the point where the - triggers have been
tripped, so if you don't get an extra exposure
and you can come back - drive it beyond that
point, then go to VERNIER drive - disengaged,
move it to the bottom, reengage it, drive up to
the same target and get a UV photograph of the
6O5

same spot. Five to 6 seconds is just an


inadequate time to do that. And so - I'd
suggest that you think about that in the simulator
and think about that on future pads as to
whether or not it is even worth trying to get -
two UV photographs, different wavelengths of the
same target. In attempting to do so, I did not
drive beyond the point where the trip levers had
driven over their cam, so we got an extra freebee
on the return sweep on both the UV and the
visible camera, and I still was not able to
drive back to the same target. It had simply
moved beyond the field of view by the time I had
a chance to get back there. So I did take an
extra UV at 3200 angstroms of another target, as
near as possible; but l'm sure it was some miles
beyond the first target. And we'll, of course,
have an extra visible of that same shot since
the trip - the levers had not driven ever the
cam to release that trip mechanism.

221 14 04 59 CC Skylab, Houston. We're AOS through Ascension


for 5 minutes. And, Owen, I take it you were
doing some recording there on your ETC pass.

SPT That.'s affirmative.

PLT Okay, there he is down there - that magic voice.


Charlie 8--

CC Hey, Jack?

PLT Yes, go ahead.

221 14 05 18 CC I was just going to tell you that all the guys
down here, all the EREP people, really
appreciate your commentary coming across there.
It makes it much easier on the guys down here to
follow and understand what was going on. Really
good job.

SPT 63, stand by.

221 14 05 32 SPT MARK. 63 UV.

PLT Okay, thank you, Crip. We'll try to keep them


I_ all informed. They've done a great job. Also,
606

I want to give a good pat on the back to the guys


that made our checklists and these cue cards.
The cue cards are working great, and the
checklist is in good shape. It's got the info
in there that we need, so they did a really dandy
Job on all that. And I hope the data comes out
very well. And Charlie 8 at this point is
reading 49 percent.

CC Okay, we'll pass it on.

CDR 191 door is slow and it seems to just creep


through the field of view.

221 14 06 23 PLT That's supposed to take a minute and 28, I think.

CDR Yes, I'm timing it now.

PLT Good. Noticed that a little bit yesterday down


there, EREP fans. That 190 door seems to
be slow. I didn't time it, but it seemed to
jerk a little bit, which concerned me.

PLT So we're timing it for - sure today and watching


it very closely.

CDR Doesn't seem to be jerking today, Jack.

SPT Stand by, 63.

221 14 06 47 SPT MARK. UV photo start.

221 14 07 01 PLT Okay, EREP fans, then measuring the tape - the
tape on the takeup reel. The distance of the
tape I reassure [sic] 15/16 of an inch - 15/16 of
an inch open space remaining on the takeup reel.

PLT How long did it take, Al?

CDR About 01:55, Jack.

221 14 07 29 PLT 01:55 on the EREP DOOR CLOSING, so it looks like


it's about nominal.

CDR Okay.
6o7

PLT Really tried ... - -

CDR Also, Crip', I've been doing some thinking about


that site-in. I don't think it was Portsmouth
I was on. I think that it was a good site-in
and what I zoomed in on was Roanoke Island
because there's an airfield there. So I think
that probably the pointing quantities were good,
and don't think I got the target. I think I -
zoomed in on Roanoke Island for a while ... - -

221 14 08 05 SPT Okay, I'm just setting up to get the 8-second


exposures now on 63 UV. And one comment on the
first set of 8-second exposures, back at 13:52.
I believe they may have been 10-second exposures
instead of 8 because the little marker on this
cam has a bright edge and the light Klinted off
the leading edge of that through the window here.
And I probably set it on the leading edge rather
than the white mark. And that would add just about
f_ 2 secondsto each end. I guess that would make
it a total of a 4-second exposure increase on the
first set of 8-second exposures. After that I'm
sure I've got it on the center mark, but I
wanted to s_lert you to that possibility. Just
coming up now on the first of the 8-second -
second set of exposures, 40830. Stand by on the
63 UV.

221 14 09 02 SPT MARK.

PLT Okay, we're going to power the - -

221 14 09 13 SPT Okay, and I expect the PI would be interested in


the accuracy of the tracking. My estimate is
that we can hold the target down there to within
plus or minus 2 or 3 miles or something like that,
judging by the size of the cumulus clouds, which
I take to be 2 or 3, maybe 5 miles across these
little individual cells. That's sort of the
ability to hold a target with this manual tracker.

221 14 09 38 CC Roger; copy. Going LOS, 30 seconds. See you


again at Carnarvon at 14:35 and, A1, at that
time we'd be interested in hearing a little bit
more about your VTS.
z_

CDR Okay.
6O8

221 14 09 57 PLT Say, AI, you got everything powered down there so
I can power down the panel. I guess you got the
door closed, the camera off and all that?

CDR ... POWER, OFF.

221 14 i0 07 PLT Okay, l'm going to turn the whole thing off.
DISPLAY, OFF; BUS i and BUS 2, OFF.

PLT Okay, 0., we're leaving up the recorder for you.


When you're finished with it, you can knock it offi

221 14 I0 20 SPT Okay. It'll only he up for another 4 or


5 minutes.

PLT Okay, it's yours.

SPT Stand by for the 3200 exposure.

221 14 10 51 SPT MARK.

221 14 12 24 SPT Coming up on the final exposure for S063;


2700 angstroms in 8 seconds.

221 14 12 43 SPT Stand by.

221 14 12 51 SPT MARK.

221 14 13 34 SPT And the final frame count on the top of the UV
Nikon is 19 and the bottom of the UV Nikon is
20. And let me check the visible cassette.

221 14 14 19 SPT The top of the Nikon is 20 and the bottom of the
Nikon is 39 on the visible camera. And from now
on I think we'll go only by the lower numbers,
and I'ii mske sure that those get set properly
and I'll have to reset the one on the UV camera
and then I'll do those initially before the
next run and go only by the lower numbers on the
lower portion of the Nikon camera.

221 14 14 43 SPT And that's all the information we have for S063
at this time and I'll turn the recorder off.

221 14 32 50 SPT Okay, SPT recording on channel A with a little


more information appropriate to the EREP people.
On the UV camera, I think at the beginning I did
F _

6o9

not have the frame number set to 42 as I should


have, so I've readjusted that. As I called out
at the end of the pass, the number on the top of
the camera showed 19 exposures and the number on
the bottom of the camera showed 20. And 19 from
42 leaves 23 frames remaining, so I've adjusted
the bottom of the UV camera now to 23 frames
remaining and that's where I'll leave it, and
I think it'll continue to run satisfactory, to
countdown properly from that point. So I do
believe I had 19 frames exposed on the ultraviolet.

221 14 33 37 SPT End of the information from the SPT to the


S063 experimenters.

221 14 44 47 PLT Okay, biomed fans. This is Jack on channel A.


We're beginning a 131-2 on subject Alan Bean.
The data is day - day 221 - 221 and the time
is 14:45 Greenwich.

_. 221 14 45 12 PLT I'll be talking to you later on this. We're


turning the recorder off for now.

TIME SKIP

221 16 08 26 SPT Okay, as far as debriefing the last pass is


concerned, I'm going to wait and do it on real
time,

221 16 08 32 SPT That's the pass on which we had the flare from
active region 85.

TIME SKIP

221 17 35 15 SPT This is the SPT on channel A, debriefing the


last ATM rev. It was Just completed at about
17:35. This was the unscheduled run. It was
working because of the flare on the preceding
rev. We started out in all of the second orbit,
flare-phase building block for configuration.
And we ran those for about 15 to 20 minutes.
And then we talked with the ground and sent down
some real-timeTV of all the displays,in partic-
ular the white light coronagraph, looked for
610

transients, and sent that down to the ground for


recording, and hopefully, then, that can be sent
on to Houston for review fairly - fairly soon.
And follo_-ing that, we picked up a number of
shopping list item number l_ Just in case there
had been a bit of a transient in the corona, we
could get one more glimpse of it without taking
too much extra time. Followed that with a
shopping list item number 3 on active region 85
in order to get a view of how it looked an hour
to an hour-and-a-half after the flare had occurred.

221 17 36 26 SPT I then went to active region 84, which I talked


about before over at - 080 near 1.0 because it
was, at that point, the brightest thing on the
Sun. It had been almost all morning, although
its flare probability is low. It did have a -
several bright, sort of - looked like streamers
or long lineaments extending from somewhere near
the center of the active region. So I aligned
the 82B Slit on one of those bright lineaments _
and did the shopping list item number 3. I
followed that by a shopping list item number 9
on a prominence which was just to the north of
active region 84. In fact, I think it was
associated with region 84, but then extended out
into the corona and upwards to the north. Looking
at the XUV MON, there was a very large - a very
large prominence extending out into the corona
visible on the XUV MON, above this particular
region. So I went out 30 arc seconds above the
spot - above the limb at the spot where the
XT/V M0N was supposed to have been. As could be
seen when I used the INTEGRATE switch and
performed the shopping list item number 9 there.
I gave S055 a number of MIRROR LINE SCAN first
and then put them into MIRROR AUTO RASTER
and gave it the name "mini bar" - at any rate
a partial bar, of that entire area. And that
completed the orbit returning onto the disk couple
minutes before the end of - before sunset in
order to get the grating reset to zero.

221 17 38 15 SPT And we'll he all prepared then for the CAL ROC
on the next orbit.

221 19 19 ii CDR Okay, chan A, this is the CDR with information


for the biomed men, and it concerns the run of
131 this morning. I'm answering the debrief -
debriefing questions.
612

221 19 19 26 CDR Describe the degree of difficulty relative to


ground-based trials in making spatial orientation
judgment. I found it to be a little more difficult,
or maybe more - much more difficult when you tried
to remember whether the reference was relative
to the external environment. As long as you were
working in internal, you were in pretty good
shape. But when you wanted to go external, if
you were floating slightly, or were kind of
asleep during the run, which was - I found it
extremely easy to do, and it's the only experiment
that I've noticed it. In fact, I've been trying
to wonder whether it's the pad pushing on your
eyes, or what because it's not that pleasing,
but it tends to make you sleepy, at least me.
But anyhow, it's difficult to remember. As long
as youVre strapped do_uq tight to the chair, in
any of the attitudes, so your back's pressing
on, and your legs and your butt, then you don't
have any trouble because you just kind of remember,
and you put it there. So it's a muscle thing.
But if you try to visualize in your mind which way
it is, I found that I could visualize it almost
any different direction.

221 19 20 38 CDR For example, even sitting in the chair when I


would float slightly out, I could visualize the
verticle quite easily, back behind me, which would
be the horizontal to the workshop. Now I knew
that wasn't true because I knew I was strapped
to the vertical or 2 or 3 degrees to - tipped
to the left. I always knew where I was because
l've run the test before. If I didn't know
where I was and somehow someone had to rotate
me slowly or - or hadn't told me exactly where
I was, I would have never been able to guess
which way the vertical was. Now during these
runs even when I could - knew where the vertical
was, several times I would sort of forget. As I
floated up l'd say, "I know that I'm not going
to point to vertical. I know I'm pointing further
down in pitch generally than the vertical, but
thatWs where I feel it is. Now, I know it isn't,
because my wrist and muscle action tell me the
other way. But I feel it down towards the - a
little bit more pitch down." Now I did that and
I - sometimes l'd correct that just on intellect
as opposed to feeling.
613

221 19 21 41 CDR So mixed in with this test is where you think it


is and then where your muscles tell you it's got
to be.

221 19 21 55 CDE I think I answered 2 at the same time I answered


i. Mainly the conflict was the fact that I could
imagine the vertical anywhere, but my muscles
knew where it was. Now of the things that I
think is important is you should send up and tell
us whether you want us to strap down to that
chair very tight, particularly in the litter
mode, because in the litter mode if you don't
strap down tightly, your upper body kind of
floats up and then when you move around - with
your hands around, your upper body moves about
and it sort of gives you a little bit of a
vertigo feeling which tends to make you lose
your vertical reference. If you'll push yourself
down until you're horizontal on that litter chair,
then it seems to all make sense. But while you're
_" floating around and moving around, particularly
when your head is - movement is caused by your
hands moving the ball and - and pointer, then
you tend to - to be more dispersed. Now we
could do it either way; I tend to let myself
float up.

221 19 22 56 CDR Did you at any time experience a positive sense


of the upright? Answer: Yes, but it wasn't
always right. Usually I had a feeling which
way was up, but frequently I knew that the way
I felt was up was not true.

221 19 23 l0 CDR Were your Judgments influenced by auditory cues


or other environmental factors? I don't think
so. I think most of it was strictly muscle sense
and knowing where the sphere was. If they put
you in the chair blindfolded, just cranked you
around two or three times, you couldn't tell.
Now it's probable maybe in one g you couldn't
tell either. I don't know.

221 19 23 32 CDR Did the line target appear stable and under your
complete control? It was stable, fuzzy, but I
tended to go to sleep, and - I don't know why,
_ but I'd close my eyes. I wouldn'tlook at it
until I was told to, and then when I'd look at
614

it sometimes, I would hardly focus, and I would


feel like I couldn't even hardly open my eyes.
I'd - I would - I would be almost half asleep.
I bet if somebody Jerked off the - the blindfold,
you'd find my eyes were in a sleeping configuration
because it would be even further out of focus
than it normally is. It didn't have any apparent
movement. The only movement was a tendency to
get dark in there when you closed your eyes.

220 19 24 20 CDR Okay, 6: Any additional comments and observations?


None other than this - this experhuent has always
had difficulty being run. It's because there's
so doggone many ways to do it. Whether you want
to strap yourself down or not. Whether you want
to move your head a little bit. Whether you want
to close or open your eyes. Whether you want to
point to where you think the vertical is or where
your muscles tell you it is. I think this still
is a detriment, and somehow these debriefing
sessions have to be hooked with the data so that
my data, for example, from day to day is - can
be correlated. Or my data with Owen. He might
say, "I'm always going to point where my intellect
tells me it is." Jack over there maybe saying,
"I'm Just going to point where I think it is,
even though I know it isn't over there." And
those are going to make big differences. I think
those sorts of differences are the stress that
you see. You say, "You know I'm not pointing in
the right direction, but I feel that it ought to
be pointed in this direction."

221 21 23 49 CDR Hello, channel A. This is CDR. This is for any-


body that's concerned with the food, for example,
Rita Rapp and Diana Sandford, Malcolm Smith, and
anybody else. See what l've got here. We've been
spending up there about 5 man-hours putting this
stowage away and getting out our food for days 56,
57, and 58. Now we did that, and we strapped them
f in a - plenumbag up on top of the lockers. But
later on we're going to move them so that we can
get them out of the way. But right now that's the
only good place. We put our overage food in - just
a second, I'ii tell you the number. We put our
overage food in 555. And that's - the locker that
our first two food bundles came out of, and that's
where we're going to keep - all of it. Now we got
two ways we can go. We'll tell you what the over-
age is, and it won't - We keep adding overage
every day or so because, for example, I don't eat
the vegetables, Jack doesn't eat the tuna or the
bread, and Owen isn't eating some other things.
And y'all know about those already. But they do
tend to build up overage. We'll keep you informed,
on maybe a monthly basis or something like that,
and certainly give you good updates before we go.

221 21 25 22 CDR Now l'm going to tell you what's in that - that
locker as of right now. Here it goes: coffee
with sugar, four; tuna, three; hard candy, one;
mints, one; dried beef, one; chocolate instant
breakfast, one; pork and scalloped potatoes, one;
veal, one; beef hash, two; pork plates, two;
chicken and gravy, one; chili, two; - strawberries,
four; bread, one; potatoes, one; potato salad,
two; peas, four; lemon pudding, one; shrimp, one;
_k

616

corn, one; green beans, three; asparagus, seven.


Okay, now those are the ones that are in cans.
We have some that were in the command module foods.
So I'll read those off to you. They're going to
remain in little packages. We'll put those pack-
ages in cans. I'm going to read these one at a
time because I haven't got them as well organized.
Corn; package of pills, unopened, those are those
sugar-type things; shrimp cocktail, one; cream
peas, one; another cream pea; mashed potatoes,
sausage patties, green beans, German potatoes,
veal and barbeque sauce, spaghetti, German potato
salad.

221 21 28 47 CDR Okay, I have some more here. Green beans and
asparagus, s_]mon salad, macaroni and cheese,
peach ambrosia, green beans, veal and barbeque
sauce, spaghetti and meat sauce, German potato
salad. Now that's all the overage food that we
have at the moment. We'll keep you informed and
we'll keep you updated. And then when we leave,
we'll give you a nice inventory of all of them and
everybody else's, if we can get the time. Now
remember, this - (cough) this message goes to the
food interested persons, Rita Rapp, Malcom Smith,
and Diane Sandford, and, probably, several others.

PLT Oh, yes; right. Okay, this is M487-2A, day 222


at 02:00. It's crew debriefing, roundtable discus-
sion. Question i is: What particular aspects of
the orbital assembly seem well designed and arranged
for living and working in zero g? What aspects
are you changing and how? Huh! Anybody got an
answer.

222 02 05 29 CDR ! got a start. I think one of the best things that
we have in the workshop are these triangular grid
structures on the floors and ceilings. I don't
think there's any way that you can tell before you
fly just where you're going to need to position
yourself to do different tasks. One, you can't
think through everything just as planned; and two,
p plans change at the last minute. So it means that,
really, all over the spacecraft, you have to
position yourself from time to time to do work.
Sometimes it's possible to use a handhold to do
work. Sometimes it's possible just to float by
and do it. Sometimes it's possible to get your
buddy to hold on to. Most of the time, to do real
constructive work, you've got to be stabilized,
and these triangle shoes seem to be able to do the
job real well. My only thought would be, on a
future space station, that we ought to have a
similar-type device. Now maybe there's an improve-
ment - magnetic shoes or some sort of grippers or
something. But we're going to need a device that
can be used almost anywhere and have it accomplish
the business of tethering the - the man, himself,
so he can do a job. And certainly, the triangles
are one of the best.

222 02 06 37 CDR Now there's one disadvantage to these. There's a


lot of places where the triangles, themselves, are
not useful because structure is - is taking up the
place where the triangle goes. I would suggest,
if we built another one just like Skylab, which,
of course, we have no plans of doing, we could,
somehow, offset the grid by the depth of the little
z- triangle from the main ... beam. And you could do
it with a little standoff - probably be just as
620

easy. You could have built - They could have


built the I-beams that way or put a number of
washers. That way every place that you went, you
could put your triangle down. This would mean
time savings and, certainly, that's what the name
of the game is. So that would be - one thing -
one of my first thoughts. How about yours?

222 02 07 19 $PT I second the motion that we need to stabilize


ourselves. I'm not as happy with the triangle
shoes as I think I'd ought to be, however. They
do work well enough. They hold you where you need
it and, without it, we'd be in a heck of a lot
worse shape. But I think we had ought to work hard
on something like a magnetic device that you could
tether yourself to even more easily than the triangle
shoes.

222 02 07 37 SPT Now going on to other things in there. We ought


to have some other thoughts. The - Oh, for example,
the mineral supplements down here in the food. The
mineral supplements in ... are a sorry mess. They
come in very tight packages. They are arranged in
a locker so that it's s]most impossible to get
them slid in without catching on the little, thin
metal plates that cannot be seen. And when they
do catch on those little metal plates, they normal-
ly tear off some of the mineral supplements that
go with them. Now these things should ought to be
in some sort of an easily-dispensed - device so
that we could just meter them out - one, two,
three, or four out of little spigots or something
like that. So a complete redesign of - of ways to
take pills and things like that - vitamins and so
forth - had ought to be redesigned.

222 02 08 28 SPT As far as the food is concerned, some of the cans


don't fit the size of the slots. There'd ought to
be better control on the position. I had to put
napkins around some of my small cans to make them
fit into the slots so that they don't all float out
and get lost. They should have been done better.
Most of the wet - wetpacks - I suppose they are
satisfactory by Apollo standards, but they're not
very satisfactory by Earth-based or even Skylab
standards. Too many of the food packages - When --
621

you open them up, there's air on the inside. And


it'll, first of all, blow food around the space-
craft when you first open it up; then, secondly,
the two edges tend to squeeze back together and
squeeze pea soup or mashed potatoes or whatever is
liquid and gooey on the inside up out of the li -
out of the edge. And so I don't think those wet-
packs are a satisfactory design for food containers.
The things we are drinking from, I think, are
reasonably satisfactory. They work out pretty
well. Jack, have you got some remarks?

222 02 09 28 PLT Yes, I don't think the wetpacks are well designed
either. It turns out that, when you fill them,
like Owen says, they've got mostly air in them,
and the food comes up past the little black line
that you're supposed to cut. When you do cut, why
a lot of the - the food from the inside comes out
and it goes out around the outside of the bag and
gets on your scissors. Also, you can't eat out of
_ them with the short spoon that we've got without
getting your fingers all messy because the spoon
is about as long as the pack is. The only way
you can get around it is to get that super shovel
that comes in with the - co_mand module food and
use it. The extra volume inside the wetpacks also
doesn't permit the food to reconstitute well as it
does in the smaller packs. So I think the wetpacks
are real losers.

222 02 i0 21 SPT I think there are some other things which are
well designed in the spacecraft. I think the
general wardroom eating arrangement, the way that
the food is reconstituted, and - and so forth,
and the table in the center works very well, and
the water guns work good. I have no complaint
about the way the food gets heated in the tray.
I think that's good. And the layout of the pantry
is also good. And it's a super idea to have the
freezer in the pantry there because the frozen
food has kind of been the highlight of the day.

222 02 i0 53 PLT I think another great design is the - the waste


management system. It's essentially a no-mess
operation. And the only thing that takes a
little time - It takes 30 seconds to have a bowel
movementand about i0 to 15 more minutesto log
622

all the data and snap the new bag in place. So


that installation of the new bag could be designed
in a - in a more efficient manner.

222 02 ii 20 PLT One of the systems that does bug me on the space-
craft is the video tape recorder. A_lytime you
want to video tape something you got to go and
turn on that - you have to go and turn on the
recorder, which is way up in the MDA. So that,
when you've got various scenes that you want to
take down in the workshop, you've got to work from
clear up in the MDA to get them on the tape. And
when you want to turn them off, you'_ got to go
back up there to turn them off. There ought to
he a switch down here somewhere where you can -
down in the wardroom area where you could turn
the video tape recorder off. AI, do you have any
comments?

222 02 ii 57 PLT Oh, by the way, the sleeping bags are really good.
I enjoy sleeping in the - in the sleeping bag.
It's - I think the design is - is very good,
particularly with the - the elastic straps. It
kind of makes you feel like you're laying against
something. And I sometimes sleep on my side, on
my back, on my stomach; so it's kind of like at
home. It's very comfortable and convenient
sleeping, and the temperature's just right also.

222 02 12 25 CDR One of the things I think is good in here, also,


is the general - the general use of colors and
materials. We've noticed that the -the workshop
stays extremely clean. About the only thing that
gets dirty is a food opening sometimes causes
spurts. For example, as you heat it - any of the
food - it'll expand the gas slightly, and then when
you break the membrane in the top, food will fly
out. Now food flies out when you're eating it
sometimes, but mostly the - the former rather than
the latter. And that'll get on the _llls. But
this material is fairly easy to clean. And it
just doesn't seem to rust. It doesn't seem to
collect dirt. There doesn't seem to be much in
the way of housecleaning to be done. other than
wiping off the dirt that comes from the food - or
thefoodspots,I guess.
623

222 02 13 20 CDR And then, cleaning the screens you have - from
the fans that blow the air around. Now those
turned out to be pretty easy to clean because
they're all conveniently located. And I think
that's been a very good design effort .... the
only fans we use have the right diameter screens
on them and also have easy access to cleaning,
because it looks like everything is going to
proceed up there, particularly if you have a good
airflow.

222 02 13 46 CDR Now Jack indicated that he thought the temperature


was okay. Well, I felt that ... it, it's been a
little bit warm. It's been up in the 8O's. My
personal feeling is that we'd like to have the
spacecraft down around the 70's or 75, somewhere
like that. But I could be wrong, but that's kind
of a feeling l've got.

222 02 14 08 CDR Discuss, just a minute, the - the food-handling


equipmentgone over - been discussedhere. The
food seems to be - from my point of view, seems to
be good. The drinks are a little bit hard to - to
reconstitute - some of them, because there's no
little convenient handles on them to grip them -
to push them down on the dispensers. They're easy
enough to drink out of. They're easy enough, and
they don't leak too bad. They're just sometimes
hard to fill. I think that could be improved by
maybe making the plastic a little bit bigger ...
There's excessive cans around. We've got - Today,
we have almost six cans of - of waste material;
most of it cans or the plastic that comes inside.
And I can't imagine that - that there's all that
sort of need, really. It seems to me there must
he a better way to keep this food, in the sense
that they put it in all individual cans. Now I
don't know exactly how you do that when you know
you've got three crewmembers, so let's cook a
bigger meal and put it around. I don't think
that's too good either because everybody is - kind
of wants his own thing. It seems to me there may
be another way. I don't know the answer.

222 02 15 20 CDR And then finally, when we're finished, we put them
in some little garbage dispensers. These are
fairly inadequatebecause they just don't hold
enough. You have to empty them way too frequently.
There should be some way to take these and to
stick them right into a solid cylinder of some
sort, but its effect is something like a trash
compressor that wouldn't squirt liquids out.

222 02 15 42 CDR And then, finally, when you get enough of it,
let's say 4 or 5 days' worth or maybe 2 or 3 days'
worth at least, then you take it out, it's got a
cap on it, and you take it over and shoot it down
some trash airlock.

222 02 15 54 CDR This trash airlock operation is a nuisance. And


the trash airlock seems to work okay. Except we're
always afraid that we're going to dump it, and
then we'd really be in trouble, l'd hate to think
of the ... in the air if we ever had to go into the
non-trash-airlock mode. For that reason, I would
highly recommend maybe just a little more thought,
money, and effort into the trash disposal point -
problem of future space stations. It's probable
that we're not going to be able to just take the
stuff and shove it over the side, that we're
going to have to bring it back to Earth, or we're
going to have to put it in some container like we
have in Skylab. But whatever method we use to do
that, I would definitely recommend that we get two
of them. So in case one of them goes bad, we could
use the other one. Or, if you use two, we'll use
one and have some method where you can isolate it
from the vacuum or kind of repair it, replace an
item. In other words, you should be able to do
this: You should be able to put something in it,
get ready to eject it, have it not eject or jam
up in ejection, and then have the capability to
close it with the item jammed in there, repress,
and then work on it. Currently, that's not possible;
but I - I suspect that it could be designed if - if
it was desired .... to me.

222 02 17 l0 CDR Let's talk a few seconds about the - Let's talk
just a few seconds about the - the camera equipment
and how we've got it. We've got the cameras stuck
in some drawers up here, and they're kind of bang-
ing around loose unless we come up with a homemade
strap.
625

PLT ..•

222 02 17 25 CDR Okay?

PLT ...

CDR Yes.

PLT ...

CDR Oh, they are?

PLT Yes.

CDR And they're up in the right drawer ...?

PLT ...

CDR Oh, boy. We need to have ... up. I'ii bet we


can.... be allset.

PLT ... where they are.

222 02 17 44 CDR Did we want all our equipment ... Well, anyhow,
down here by the window where you take pictures,
we got them hung on springs and all that sort of
thing. It seems to me that we could do a little
bit better about understanding equipment we're
going to use operationally in flight, and then
trying to have some permanent setup where we -
We have something permanent, in a way, for the -
for the 16-millimeter camera on the EREP. And
that's a good way. We ought to have some perma-
nent installations where we can stash these cam-
eras by the ... stations, and there's also ...
instead of having to bring them over to the ...
is build a little box right by the window where
you can lay - reeling it in. We can throw the
things in there and then we can get them out,
instead of having to take them around.

222 02 18 29 PLT One of the things that we've enjoyed the most of
all in here has been the - most use out of I
think, is the window. There's only one of them
626

here that you can see anything out of that's


worth looking at. And I think we need to have
more of them, because we sure cover a lot of
ground and a lot of interesting features on the
ground, not too scenicwise, but geologically;
and then the weather - in the area of weather.

222 02 18 56 PLT And if we could see more in the different direc-


tions, I think it would be a great asset to col-
lecting data as well as providing something to do
that's enjoyable. So the one window is really
not enough, and if we could have some more windows
somewhere, we need to have them. What else is
...?

222 02 19 19 SPT Yes, I was going to comment on the coloring. It


may be a little different viewpoint than A1 just
had, but it seems to me that the color arrangement
that we've got in here might very well have been
designed by a Navy supply department or something
with about as little imagination as anybody I can
imagine! All we've got in here are about two tones
of brown, and that's it for the whole blinking
spacecraft interior.

PLT Yes.

SPT Yes, with ...

CDR ... got a ...

222 02 19 42 SPT And it would seem to me that a better study by an


interior decorator, not only of our instrument
panels, which are equally bad if not worse, but
also just the interior decoration of our living
quarters would make it a much more pleasant envi-
ronment - some pastels and some other things that
certainly help make it better. The other thing
that I think that - I would feel would be helpful
is, as I see ourselves move around through the
spacecraft, 85 percent of our motion is by arm.
We pull ourselves everywhere are going - we're -
everywhere we go. The exception here being when
we jump off from one side of the dome to the other.
627

We spring forward, of course, from the hatch


opening between the trash airlock and the _DA
hatch, and we do that with our legs and arms.
But, basically, we move around with our arms.
There are essentially no handholds around any-
where. There are a few over on our electrical
panel, which we can use occasionally to stabilize
c'_'selve$.

iii _i 2J 37 SPT Bun we really tie ourselves into our feet when-
ever we go in front of the electrical panel. Sc
as far as practical handholds, there is ve_j c!cse
to zero arour,d the whcle spacecraft. I guess
that's our principal means of locomotion. S_ !
just think we had ought to have a better arrange-
ment of handholds the way they do for Y_IA to get
around inside the spacecraft. And l've thought
about where they should go, some place so that
they don't stick out and reduce the amount of
volume available for moving but still are acces-
_ sibleto the hands. I think that would be a sig-
nificant design improvement.

222 02 21 07 CDR 0wen, are you trying to say that we - We have


handholds around expanses where we thought we
were going to work. You're suggesting that we
ought to have handholds positioned in traffic
areas - -

_T
CD Yes.

CDR - - to use to pull and direct and remaneuver.


Yes - not in so much for - for stabilization fzr
work but to get from one place to another, sort
of a switch-off/pull-off thing.

222 02 21 27 SPT Yes, because once we get to the place where we're
going to work, we than war_t to tie our feet in ss
that we can use our hands to do the work. _[e
don't need the handholds there. Like this example
that I just gave at the electrical panel 61B and
so on - five handholds, but we don't need them
there.

PLT Yes, I think ...


628

222 02 21 45 CDR Wait, wait. One other thing. We got handholds


up here on the dome. And we put them there so a
guy could come in and sort of follow those handles
and get down to the floor. Well, we know now that
nobody ever follows handholds around. They shoot
up in the air to the next spot, and the only time
that they need to grab by their hands is when
they're going through small openings like doors
or openings in the ceilings or things like that.
And that's where the handholds should be and not
against walls where nothlng's going on or where
you've got - nothing to do. Because like 0wen
points out, you want to stabilize yourself some
other way, and that some other way is usually
with your feet. It's more desirable, and it frees
your hands to work. Here you are, Jack. Why
don't we move on to the next one.

222 02 22 28 PLT Okay, one of the other questions that we ought to


discuss is the the effectiveness of - of verbal
communications throughout the workshop without the
use of the intercom box. And we find it isn't
very good because you have to holler pretty loud
to be heard even from the lower crewquarters
area up into the dome. And, - -

CDR ... the door.

222 02 22 51 PLT And sound does not - Voices don't transmit up


through the airlock at all. We have to use the
intercom box to talk to anybody in the MDA. It's
not because of the external noise within the space-
craft either. The spacecraft is relatively quiet,
more so than I had thought it would be with -
even with fans and other electrical equipment
running. It is very quiet and - and, - even when
our - we burnt the rod, I didn't notice that there
were any loud noises which I was not used to. So
verbal communications throughout the assembly
without the use of sound equipment is not very
good.

222 02 23 28 PLT The intercom boxes must be used and - and on that
score you probably have already heard that they keep
F_

629

squealing all the time. You have to go around


adjusting them to make sure that the feedback
doesn't - that it transmits properly. But the
feedback problem has got to be solved the next
time around. And back to the window business
again. I know that O. and l've been trying to
look out the window to see things going under-
neath the spacecraft, but it's just over the edge
of the window and I can't see it. If I had an-
other window 90 degrees on the other side, why,
I'd be much more able to look around than I am
now.

222 02 24 04 PLT Well, let's see, we - we want to comment on how


well the food adheres to the utensils when eating,
and it adheres very well except for things like
sausage for example; it crumbles all up and doesn't
adhere to the spoon at all. Biscuits obviously
(chuckle) don't adhere. The cookies are very
crumbly. But most other foods that have at least
/- an amount of - of fluids in them do adhere, like
cornflakes or peas or corn or - Those kind of
things adhere quite well. For example, I don't
see any need, as the question proposed here, to
decrease the tray-to-mouth proximity to improve
the eating ease. At least these are quite adequate
right now, and it's very simple to bend down or
squat down if necessary. Now we want to discuss
any anticipated - -

SPT ... discuss - -

PLT Here you go.

SPT Discuss ... (laughter) ...

222 02 25 08 CDR Okay. Talking a little bit about the utensils.


Seems to me that the utensils are good enough,
certainly they could be a little bit - a little
bit larger. They could be more like home utensils.
You should be less worried about trying to make
it smaller enough to fit on the spacecraft ...
light. I think they should have stronger magnets
in them so they grab the trays tight - quite a

f
63O

bit harder than they do. The - the thing that


seems to bother the crew that I've noticed is
not the fact that the food doesn't stick to the
spoon, but as you're taking food out of the tray
or out of somewhere else - out of somewhere else,
you hit the plastic covering, and when you do, it
knocks the food away and the plastic's hard to
trim. The only ones that are easy to trim are
like the - the plastic around the cookies because
it's got a hard edge and you can trim it with your
knife right up to it. And every bit of the food
should be somehow like that. I know that we've
got a deal we take the bags out and knead them so
that they rehydrate fully. But there should - at
the same time, we - there's the need to be able
to trim them better. Now they're - they're tough.
They're - the plastic's tough necessarily, but
there must be some better scissors or better meth-
od of cutting them so that they - they completely
expose the bowl and then we can make periodic -
if it doesn't - check on something ... away.
Have you got anythingto say, 0.? ---

222 02 26 36 SPT Now, let's talk about the humidity, lighting, noise
temperatures, and such.

PLT Okay, the lighting is a little dim in most places,


and that could be improved. It's not office-type
lighting. In fact, they have individual lights
that you can turn on and off to suit your tastes
in various areas, however.

SPT ...

222 02 27 03 PLT Yes. Well, come on over. I'll show you.

SPT ...

CDR ... talk about - about the lighting.

222 02 27 i0 PLT Okay, we want to discuss noise, temperature,


humidity, and airflow.
631

222 02 27 14 CDR Okay. Let's talk a little bit about the lighting.
It seems to me that the light is dim but adequate,
except for a few times. One, when you want to do
closeup work like repair an item, and whenever that
happens, then you usually have bright light every-
where, but you need some sort of good carry-around
light that you can sit on your head. I think
something like that so that you could - something
like a miner's lamp - maybe not that bright -
maybe that isn't the right name to use with it,
but essentially a helmet-mounted light that you
could go get if you wanted to do some fine work
down in the dark holes where you can't afford
a lot of light and waste the light. Secondly,
we need bright light in certain areas. For
example, we need it in the head. When you're
shaving, you can't see your face. You've got a light
bulb on the ceiling and you can't see the whiskers
that are down on your neck. We need to get some -
some rea - real bright lights for the head, for
example. We need to get some bright lights any
F place that you're going to be looking in mirrors.
And those two items, I think, would make the
lighting seem much, much more useful. Also, if
there's a place where you're going to do a lot of
reading or writing, bright lights are - are really
called for. The kind of lighting we have in here
is probably just enough for the - ...

222 02 28 28 CDR These lights are very safe. You have the feeling
that you're not going to break them if ... flip
out in the air. They're nice and soft. They're
not hard to look at. Everything about them is
good, except we just need a little more brilliance
at some points.

222 02 28 45 PLT Okay, that takes care of the lights. Like we said
noise is not an objectionable factor, to me, at
any rate. Temperature is - been running -What
is it? Around 75 now? 70 to 75.

222 02 29 03 PLT It depends on where you are and where the sensor's
located. This one says 70 over _ head here, so
it's 70 to 75 in the spacecraft, which for me is
quite comfortable. A1 likes it a little cooler,
and Owen likes it all right. I was fairly well
632

satisfied the other day when - before we got the


sail up when it was hitting around 75 to 80. It
was a little warm, but it cooled off after we got
the lights off and so forth. And it warmed up in
the afternoon, and we circulated around in here
with everything from full trousers and shirts to
skivvies and - and seemed to feel quite comfortable
temperature-wise in any of those clothes. Humidity-
wise, it's fairly dry in here. Our noses are dry
and - and do some bleeding still after 2 weeks in
the mission. Lips are dry and are not really
chapped, but on the verge of getting chapped. One
nice thing is that it doesn't take you long to
dry off after exercise. You don't sweat much and
stink a lot. It doesn't smell like a locker room
in here. AI is - -

CDR ... stink like a locker room (laughter).

SPT Let's hope it doesn't ...

222 02 30 40 PLT (Laughter) We have some disagreement on the smell.


It doesn't smell like a locker room (laughter), but
frequently like an outhouse (laughter). We haven't
lost our sense of humor, anyway; but smells don't
seem to persist too much in here for some reason
since we've fairly decent airflow, which is the
next subject. The airflow, I think, does help to
maintain the - the - the comfortable atmosphere,
and, of course, that's also what causes all the
junk to collect on the screen ... centrifuge ...
collector ... and that kind of thing.

SPT And ... slightly .... they are retained in a


miserable sort of a container ...

222 02 32 31 SPT I was just commenting that the silverware needs a


better container. Something that will really hold
them in. The ones we've got, they float out every
time we open the door. Also something that you can
clean and keep clean and have ready access to. That's
a particularly bad-designed object.

222 02 32 46 PLT Something else that we use a lot are these little
spring bungees. We just stretch them across the
lockers and stick everything behind them. So it
looks like to me that if we make one of these things _r_
633

again, that - what we ought to do on these doors


is just build one on there that works instead of
having to stick one on every time. Oh, let's see
Wh -What significant improven - improvisation -
little help there - improvisations have you
accomplished as a result of adapting to living
and working in zero g? Seems to me that after
about 8 to i0 days, I decided that it just seemed
natural to be in zero g. We still use visual
references that we used in one g a lot. We glue
ourselves to - to the bed, just like we did in the
one g trainer, but - and there's still some funny
orientation problems when you get upside down in
different - different locations, but as far as
getting around in zero g is concerned, it's - it's
not uncomfortable; it's pleasant. It seems natural
now.

222 02 33 50 PLT It seems as natural as - as standing up in one g


and walking. And so that's on - that's one degree
r of adaptationthat came very readily.

220 02 34 01 SPT I think that's a particularly important one, too.


I was just sitting overhead right now and I was
noticing that during my 131 run that you do have
a normal sort of sensations, but they do not come
in as determined a way as they would do - did do
for the first 3 days or so of the spaceflight.
There's a complete adaptation to the presence of
zero g. We're all enjoying it and taking advantage
of it and having a lot of fun practicing the things
we couldn't do in one g, so it's quite an
advantage really to experience it for a while.

222 02 34 32 PLT I've noticed also that your posture in getting


around doesn't necessarily have to be vertical
anymore. It could be sliding along on your side
or on your stomach or upside down.

222 02 34 42 PLT It - attitude is - in - getting from one place to


another could be vertical or it could be sideways
or any - any orientation seems to be a natural one.
What comments on anticipated problems - Stand by
i.
634

222 02 35 08 PLT Okay. What unanticipated problems have occurred


in performing various activation, housekeeping,
or experiment activities to date? Are there any
common difficulties that can be traced to inade-
quacies of design, onboard provisions, or preflight
preparation, such as that? ...

222 02 35 28 CDR One of the things we've already mentioned in


performing housekeeping is the lack of lighting.
We've cleaned out a couple of fans and done some
work down in some compartments that had no lighting
in them, and we ended up using handheld flashlights
and penlight. They're pretty nice lights but they
real - we really need something else. Clip-on
lights, and I don't mean the little portable lights
we have. They're cumbersome, big, too doggone much
trouble. We need nice little lights that we can
clip on to our helmets or our heads just like a
surgeon or we could just snap on the side with
either a magnetic catch or some other little
universal clip.

SPT ...

222 02 36 09 CDR I think that there are a lot of unanticipated


problems. One of the - I think the most significant
that's affected us, is the problem in zero g of
losing items that you don't actually tape down
somehow. And it takes several days to sort of get
in the habit pattern of not ever letting anything
go. You tend to control yourself by - by putting
an object near you just for a minute, but i0 sec-
onds later that object has floated off. It may have
not been moving at the time, but because of air
flow and because you accidentally give it a jostle,
it's off and going.

222 02 36 47 CDR And they go long distances. And the trouble is when
you try to find them floating - they're just
hovering, or over in a different place than - than
you left them. It's not at all like on Earth when
you drop something. You know it's around at your
feet, just where you were. Here if you drop some-
thing you don't know if it's at your feet where you
635

were, at your head where you weren't, or anywhere.


You got the whole spacecraft, almost, to - to fool
with. Now I don't think there's any way offhand,
to design out of this other than to say that the
question asked - preflight preparation. And I
don't know how you'd measure it, but I think you
could save some significant time the first few days.
It's a difficult thing. I don't think we have the
problem now, but we certainly did at the - at the
outset of the - the flight.

222 02 37 29 SPT I think we could use a lot more Velcro around the
spacecraft. Because we were still putting up
patches all around places where we want to put
things. That's one reason we got so many doggone
springs stuck all around because we don't have any
Velcro at hand to hold things to nearby where we
want to work. And I think that's a significant
design - capability.

CDR ...

PLT ...

CDR ...

222 02 37 56 SPT Better adhering type of Velcro that we could attach


in flight in spots right where we want it.

PLT Yes.

SPT Get some better springs so we could put the stuff


around where we want it.

PLT •.•

CDR •••

SPT Not that bad, though.

222 02 38 12 PLT We certainly use this chiller behind us. I didn't


know whether we would or not. This chiller was
almost an afterthought, as I understand it. And
we finally got the IMSS container out, although
the IMSS stuff is in there. And we had the stuff
nearly - nearly full when I took the stuff. And
_ that reallymakes it much better for us.
636

SPT Produce, drinks and food ... food? What kind of


food? ... all that goes in there. And we certainly
appreciate having it available. It makes it much
more palatable .... out.

222 02 38 55 PLT What significant improvations - impro - improvisations


(procedural, equipment arrangements, or modifications)
have you accomplished as a result of adapting and living
and working in zero g?

222 02 39 07 CDR Well, I made a significant improvement, I think,


in our sleeping quarters. The air enters at the
bottom. I've taken my sleeping bag and mounted it
upside down. It doesn't bother me at all to sleep
that way, and it does definitely improve the flow
of air. It lets it come from the top of you and flow
down past you, instead of coming up from your feet
into your nose, into your mouth. I found it is
effective for my - the dryness in my nose; it made
it much more moist, and I found I was able to sleep
better just because I was closer to the air vent _
and was able to control it. Previously, I had to
lean out and touch the - the vents and move them
around. So I think that that's a - a - a significant
improvement.

222 02 39 52 CDR Another one is the - the bedclothes themselves


could be even a little more like Earth. They're
a little bit baggy down at the toes; make them a
little bit more Earthlike. And the - and the straps
that holds us in, they're excellent, particularly
the one around the head. My suggestion would be
to add. Double the number of straps and also
improve the headband arrangement. It has, right
now, a really - a rather poor ... I think I made
one comment on that - come out with it sort
of belted and ... belt it to the SWS ...

222 02 40 34 CDR Though modifications have been significant when it


comes to number of spacecraft now - SWS and the
like, but as 0wen pointed out it costs a lot to
build those - in - to a better operation.
637

SPT ... I think ...

PLT Yes.

222 02 40 56 SPT Okay, we got too many jack power cables and TV
power cables and things strung around the workshop.
We got - I can turn it off. I can turn it off.
And we got to - We'd ought to have those things
built into the wiring someplace so that they could
be plugged directly in the way we plug in other
appliances and things. You ... coil a piece of
wire around it everytime you want to use the DAC
or a tape recorder or a TV camera - or even a ...
blower. After looking around the workshop tonight,
I see all these things strung - 6-foot, 12-foot
cable. And, of course, the reason is they all
arrived here too late. They had these good ideas
after the workshop had already been configured.
They just need to think about it further ahead.

/_- 222 02 hl 43 CDR Also it might be apropos on the cords ... because
there's no way to think of everything and you want
flexibility, is to make sure the cords themselves
have some sort of adhering quality. I don't mean
sticky, I mean every so often on the cord is a
little plug that fits in the holes on the triangular
grid or some sort of little clip hook that snaps
that you could lean above the - ... - leans above
the - lean - just - hook on. That way you could
keep these cords flush. Right now, you have to go
get a separate strap and hang them up and, as a
result, they tend to be droopy .... didn't hear
your ...

222 02 42 27 CDR One last question: How satisfactory have the var-
ious environmental elements of habitability been in
providing a suitable hab - habitat. Lighting,
we've discussed. Noise, we've discussed. Temper-
ature, humidity, and airflow; we discovered all -
discussed all of those. Think we feel that - that
things have been pretty good. Lighting needs to be
improved in some areas. Noise is definitely satis-
factory. Temperature could be cooler. It should
have a better control. This is a minimum control;
you got to take what you get. You really can't
set a control and get anything but what just happens
to be there. H11m_dity:It's a littlebit dry; it
ought to be wetter. And airflow - airflow is just
638

about right. You should be able to up it, for


example, in areas like the head where we like to
keep odors - odor free. And perhaps we'd like to
have the ability to up it and ... it in the wardroom
- eating compartment ... Anybody else?

222 16 i0 56 SPT Okay. This is the SPT, on channel A, with a note


to the biomed people, particularly, MII0 and
urine, l've Just put in our third blood sample
into the freezer. And I just noticed, now, that
on the stowage diagram for the first tray, it
shows that the blood should be on the bottom and
the urine on the top on those days on which we
have a split between blood and urine. I actually
have them stowed the other way, with the urine
on the bottom and the blood on the top. I wondered
if it makes any difference to you. They're
pretty well frozen in there right now; and it -
be sort of a difficult job to pry them loose. It
might actually require some sawing, although,
prehaps not. I maybe can do it with knife. But
if it makes no difference to you, I'll just leave
it in that way, with the urine on the bottom and
the blood on the top. If you would give me a r
F

639

report on this, I would appreciate it. SPT, with


info to the MII0 series biomed people.

222 16 ii 56 SPT Out.

TIME SKIP

222 17 52 32 SPT Okay. This is the SPT on channel A with infor-


mation about the meoglobin measurements which
are of interest to the MIIO investigators and
biomed crowd in general. I sued some extra blood
that was left over after the standard Mll0 draw
this morning. It has remained in the syringe
for, oh, an hour and a half or so before I got
an opportunity - maybe 2 hours - before I got an
opportinity - to use it. But there's no - co-
agulation of any kind in the syringe. Now, to
begin with on the CDR's blood, I prepared the
sample and then took a sequenceof measurements
myself, and then recorded about seven numbers,
and I'll give you all of them, and then asked A1
Bean and Jack to make their sequenceand took
their averages and we'll compare them all. So
the following information is for the CDR's blood.

222 17 53 34 SPT My measurements were as follows: 15.9, 16.4,


16.5, 16.3, 16.3, 16.1. I threw out the 15.9
and averaged 16.3. Al's measurements on his own
blood were as follows: 14.9, 15.3, 16.0, 16.8,
16.3, 15.9. I threw out the low and high, 14.9
and 16.8. The remaining four average at about
15.9. Jack's estimates of the same sample were
15.5, 16.4, 16.0, and 16.0. And throwing out the
15.5 leaves an average of about 16.1. So all
three of those averaged together adds to about
16.1. Next measurements were only made by my-
self - I didn't ask for any more inner com-
parisons - between the three of of us on the same
blood sample. So the next one is a - a sample
prepared from the pilot's blood. With my right
eye, I got 16.5, 16.5, 16.4. With my left eye,
I got 16.8, 16.7, 16.5. So - those average a-
bout 16.5 with my right, 16.7 with my left, a
little bit higher on the left.
640

222 17 55 i0 SPT Next is my own blood, SPT's blood. With my


right eye, I got 16.4, 17.4, 16.5, 16.5. And
throwing out that 17.4 gives me about a 16.5
average. With my left eye, I got 17.4, 17.1,
16.9, and 16.7. Throwing out the 17.h leaves
me with a 16.9 average. So those all look pretty
consistent. They're a little bit high on my left
over right, which I understand is not unusual,
and it also looks pretty consistent between all
three crew members. As follow - As far as the
preparation is concerned, I - just took the blood
straight from the syringe, and I gave it more
than a 30 - to 45 - second mixing with the hemoglobin
stick, probably gave it a good 60 seconds of
mixing until there was no further change in the
transparency of the blood. And - as far as I
am concerned, the comparisons are all pretty ac-
curate.

222 17 56 l0 SPT And ***ments on the ground which checks pretty


closely with measurements made in your laboratory.
I'm reasongoly confident that all these are reason-
ably accurate hemoglobin measurements. Now - these
are obviously a couple of points higher, a couple
of grams higher than our preflight levels. And
I am sort of curious if the interpretation is
just reduced blood volume since we apparently
would have no opportunity to make up no substan-
tial number of - hemoglobin molecules - a sub-
stantial amount of hemo - hemoglobin over the 2
weeks we been in orbit, I presume that it is a
blood volume loss and I'd appreciate your com-
ments on this interpretation. Any other comments
about it, as far as its interest and so forth,
would also be appreciated. The end of the com-
ments on MII0 to the MII0 and biomed people re-
lative to the hemoglobin measurements testing.

222 19 06 21 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack again on channel


A for S019's Karl Henize, an additional remark.
Our checklist says that ROTATION and TILT should
be set at zero and 358.3 respectively for
EXTENSION/RETRACTION of the AMS. However, it
turns out that with a TILT of 358.3, there is a
little bit of friction in - the extend crank.
And it seems it's going to rotate much more freely
if you set it at zero. So I think until we hear
otherwise from you, we shall set it at about zero
and bring it in, because it seems to be working
much better at those settings. And I don't have
any - any reason to give you for why it works
that way, but it Just seems to work better that
way. Additionally, when you get the AMS back
into the RETRACT position, and - and pull the
TILT knob slightly, it doesn't want to go to
358.3. It wants to stop at 359.1. And so that's -
that's what m_kes me say that I think 358.3 is
probably not the right setting and makes it
bind somewhat when it comes in and I prefer
to set it at zero unless I hear otherwise.

222 20 00 49 CDR Okay, this is the CDR doing S019. We're on star
field number 407. It's a 270 exposure.

SPT Is this prism in, Jack?

CDR Okay, the prism is in. And I'm going now to


release it. I'll give you a mark as I go to open.
There's always a slight shake when you go to open,
but there doesn't appear to be any way to eliminate
that problem.
_ 647

222 20 Ol 14 CDR MARK. OPEN. And that's frame number 019, 019;
star field 407; ROTATION, 331.4; TILT, 280, 28.0;
and we're 270 seconds. Actually it won't be that
long but that's - We're using the test - We're
using the timer on top of S019. I extended the
mirror at about 000 on ROTATION and TILT. The
pilot had mentioned the time before that when he
set the numbers on the card, which were 358.3 -
I think I can find it here somewhere - zero and
358.3 seems to come in a little bit stiff. He
returned it to zero on TILT and it came in much
better. So I used zero zero and this is something
you'll probably want to tell Karl Henize, and per-
haps we want to change our checklist. But, anyhow,
we're doing what works and that seems to work real
well. We're still in the middle of a exposure, field
h07. Start time 20:01, and it stsaWced right on
time.

222 20 03 19 CDR If they Just give a "U," you don't use the
stabilization verification; only when they do a
270 U - a 270 and then a 270 U should you do the

TILT is 3 degrees. Okay, we'll back up and then
start forward again. Okay, there is 12.9 -
3 degrees, okay.

222 20 06 27 CDR So right now I have 91.5 and 3 degrees, that is.
This is field 584 for 270 seconds. I'll give you

222 20 ll 04 CDR Okay, we're now completing the 270-second exposure


on 584. I'm going to give you a mark. There's been
this discussion on whether or not you wanted the comm
to remain running during this period. We have not
thought so; but I am going to give it to you on
the next two so you can calibrate the timers for
sure. Stand by.

222 20 ii 24 CDR MARK. 584 complete; now setting up for a 90-second

222 20 14 21 CDR MARK. Okay, we began the 270-second exposure.


I'll just leave the - comm running.
649

222 20 14 47 CDR I think the best place to look is - go up there


Just to the right of the ATM and open that panel
and there should be a whole big stack. Just get a
new one out and you can stash it over there and
then it can be used for ... the time.

222 20 17 30 CDR As you would might of ment- as you might imagine,


the exposure's going real well. We're presently
about 88 percent. Standing by to shut off at

222 20 19 53 CDR MARK. 30-second exposure begun. Field 595 and


frame 024; 30 seconds is going awful fast - faster
than you would believe. It makes you suspicious
about the whole operation. Haven't touched the
instrument at all; the only jarring is the initial
insertion for the TILT. Stand by now.

222 20 20 21 CDR MARK. 30 seconds, slide RETRACTED, back to stowage.


Got to set up a new one. We're going to go for a

270, 90, and 120, and the 30. So you should have
a good calibration. Going off the comm.

222 20 25 09 CDR Okay, we're approaching the i00 percent of this

222 20 29 55 CDR 120 seconds. Sunrise is at 20:3h, which is about


4 minutes from now. I don't believe I can do a
90 and 120. I've got a choice. I can do 90 on
this star field, switch over and do 120 unwidened.
I think I'm going to make the decision to go over
to the 120 unwidened, forget the pad and do ...
on this thing ... but that's about all I know. So
I'll go ahead go through 120 unwidened and then
maybe come back to star field 576 ... some time

got about 45 seconds to go there - h5 at night ;

222 20 40 45 SPT ... When she first came out, why her legs were
all fluttery. She was kicking around ... She
bounced off the back and then up to the front.
Actually, she ended up landing over here on the
wire on one side of the cage and it was a place
652

where she could attach her feet and there she


stayed for the rest of that whole day, Just didn't
move at all•

CREW ...

SPT I don't need the RECORD light on. I'm on ...


INTERCOM and INTERCOM goes right ...

CREW ...

SPT ... Is that not right? ... The VTR is recording


everything that's on channel A ... And I am now
on INTERCOM on channel A ... Isz?t that right?

CREW I guess.

222 20 41 37 SPT Now, these are the little vials that the spiders
came in. There's another little vial right beside
it that contains a sponge and some water. Although
the spider hasn't had anything tc eat for upwards
of a couple of weeks except for the fly that was
brought inside the vial with her, apparently they --
can survive for a number of weeks without any food.
However, they do have to have water because ..., so
the second little vial right here contains a sponge
filled with water to keep her alive. Now Just last
night we shared a little bit of cur supper with her.
I don't think she was intrigued, but right over
here on this side is a little dot on your screen
•.. at the moment which is a little bit of steak from
my dinner, which I hoped she might eat a little
of. I'm not sure that she has however. Now
Arabella herself is this little spot up nero in
the center, and we'll see her at closer range in
Just a moment. Let me open up the front door.
There's the little plastic window that covers ...
and down toward your left right is here - We'll
show you that also in Just a moment. I want to
look through ... a little better idea of how the
home was constructed and what it looked like• Now
we have some lights on each side, which I have
turned off right now. And I'll turn them on in
Just a moment and then I'll put the camera over
here so you can actually see more closely,
exactly where Arabella - Arabella is sitting and
a little bit more of the detail of the web. So,
653

you'll have to excuse me for a moment while I float


over and pick up the television camera and ...
and I'll have it held up here about 4 feet away
from the cage so that you can see in more detail
what it looks like.

222 20 45 32 SPT This will unfortunately have to be a handheld


television ... can't get to the proper spot. It
is now being held ... with one foot attached to
the grid .... Right in the center of the picture
is Arabella and down towards the lower left is the
little piece of meat that I mentioned before that
... placed in her web last night. I can see a
little bit better what her web looks like. We
see that over at the edges in particular it's sort
of a stringer arrangement. They corner to corner
diagonally across the box. And then from these
diagonals she has spun the radials out across
the web. Then from the radials she goes around and
in a normal pattern that you would ... from a web.
That's about what the web has looked like now for
the last 2 or 3 days. Although the first day it
F was a much - much more rudimentarysort of web,
only ... the stringers on the corner and not much
else. After that she learned very rapidly and
learned how to attach from those little stringers
in the corners to link them in her normal web and
then, of course, the circular pattern. And then
the next day she had learned how to pull them back
a little ways from the front ... the glass ...
cage. I think perhaps tonight, because I'm not
sure she'll ... do it every time, I'll damage this
web by partially tearing it down and see how well
she reconstructs it tomorrow.

222 20 _9 00 CDR Hey, Owen?

SPT Yes.

CDR You better go up there and turn that recorder off.

222 20 49 24 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. This information is for

that I found that the wardroom w_ndow somehow got


open between the time that I clo_ed it at the ini-

today is as follows: For the CDR, 1.030; for the
SPT, 1.030; for the PLT, 1.0325. That's the end
of the message for biomed people - urine/blood

222 22 44 25 CDR Okay, This is the CDR. l'm presently running the
ATM. l'm running building block 36, J0P 2A, and -
step 4 - J0P 2A, step 4. What I was looking at
was to see what I had detect - peaked my detector
on. When I had moved the - the pencil beam down
to line 25, I was able to peak it up to around -
5300 on DETECTOR 3. So I feel that we got a pretty
nice bright spot there in active region 85. In
Just a few minutes, when I go to the B section,
I'ii move down the right number of - are minutes,
so that it'll end up pointing right at the same
hot spot, I hope. Everything is going along okay.

222 22 45 31 CDR CDR out.

222 22 47 24 CDR CDR again for the ATM folks, l'm presently doing
the MIRROR AUTO RASTER, and I noticed that every
time the 55 swings back over to 9.0 it pops the
number in the RASTER COUNTER by one. It's been
doing a complete auto raster and then, instead of
incrementing by one, it does one ... and finishes
the line. Everything else is okay. It's sweeping
s _ normally.

222 22 52 17 CDR Okay, this is the CDR for ATM again. I maximized
the detector and it's 0832, STOW position, and I
got _t up to 5300 again. Now that is a little bit
to the right of - or inboard toward Sun center of
the - the brightest H-alpha point. Now I did not -
I got the roll fairly good for 82B. I wouldn't
say it's perfect. And also it - it seems to be
that 82B may he pointed slightly to the right, but
that is the maximum DETECTOR 3 position and so
I guess that's what you want. If it had been an
82B shot, I think l'd have moved Just a little
bit to the left. Roll, I think, is satisfactory.

222 22 53 05 CDR CDR out.

223 01 28 24 PLT Okay, space fans, this is PLT on channel A. This


is for the ATM troops back there who are going
to be getting TV down-link on day 223. The GMT
of the down-link is 01:29:30. That's the end
of the message.

223 01 30 07 PLT And this is the PLT again with another note for
the ATM guys. The XUV display on the VTR was
not done at 00 or 1 - 10800. And rather, it was
done at a minus 5400. Sorry about that. We'll
do better next time. I read the cue card a
little bit late. And I think that's the end of
this message now.

TIME SKIP

223 02 12 36 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A,


debriefing the last run of the day for the ATM
troops. Everything c_me off pretty much as
advertised. I'm not sure about that SO56 - number
of exposures. During the ACTIVE i, LONG flare,
f_ I countedfrom 4961 down to 4943, which is 18
instead of 15 exposures, but I been wrong before.
Sorry to see that some of the action is going
around the backside of the Sun, but maybe we'll
get something interesting in the next day or two.
I sure hope so. In the meantime, goodnight, and
see you tomorrow.

223 02 14 01 PLT Oh, by the one - or by the way, one other thing
for the ATM guys. Don't know if you want these
numbers or not, but I'ii give them to you anyway.
The FRAMES REMAINING at the end of ops today was
H-alpha, 13490; 56, 4931. I left your door open,
like you hoped. 82A, 157; 82B, 1329; 52 was
4712; and S054 is 4385. Goodnight.

223 02 22 56 PLT Good evening, space fans, this is Jack. i got


one more final word this evening for the EGIL.
We completed the calibration of mol sieve A on
day 223 at 02:20. MOL SIEVE A PPC02 IN reads 5.6.

PPC02 OUT reads 1.0. M0L SIEVE B PPC02 IN


reads ll.1. PPC02 OUT reads 0.2.

TIME SKIP

223 14 31 45 CDR Okay, this is the CDR and I'm doing 487-3A. I'm
going to cover each of the items as stated here
and give it a rating and then talk about it a
little bit. OWS fireman's pole - Incidentally,
this is for the 487 PI. Fireman's pole - OWS
fireman's pole - fireman's pole is an excellent .....
device. We used it for a while; it seems to have
an advantage over - I can - Wait a minute, let me
give it a rating. I would give it an excellent
rating. I don't think any improvements are need-
ed. I've noticed that the stiff fireman's pole is
much better than the limber strap one, because it
allows you to, at any moment, push off in a direc-
tion you want to go. When you're on the strap,
there's really no easy way to push off, and a lot
of times you have to kind of move back and forth
and get some momentum up across the strap, much
like a bow string, and then let go. Further, the
strap does not have the ability to allow you to
rotate around it to point the direction you want.
Let's say your feet are facing the plus-Z and you
really would like to face the minus-Z. Now the
fireman's pole does do that.

223 14 33 O0 CDR The fireman's pole aids you also in taking big
packages up and down and certainly to be - to learn.
We do not have the fireman's pole or the strap in
at the moment, haven't had it in since the first
week and we found it no trouble to launch through
just the space there from one place to the other.
In fact, we find it more convenient than the pole.
663

so we have not reinstalled the pole. MY guess is


that a fireman's pole should be carried on a flight;
however, it probably should not be launched in-
stalled and only used as a temporary device in the
event somebody wanted to move items very, very
carefully. Big items, heavy items of a moderate
nature: 100, 200 pounds; doesn't seem to be any
trouble to just fly them across.

223 14 33 47 CDR OWS dome and wall handrails. I would give them a
poor. Not because the handrails themselves are not
good; their design is probably excellent. It's the
problem that we've put them in the wrong place.
Handrails, in a station like this, look to me like
they're going to be used merely in traffic areas
to - get something to grab on to change your direc-
tion. For example, a handrail near a hatch
opening, near the ceiling in the experiment compart-
ment or the floor in the forward compartment would
be perfect. It would allow you to grab them and
zip in. Presently, we're Just using the edge of
the hatch, which works okay. But it's perhaps con-
S L- ceivablethat, if we didn't have this triangular
grid where our fingers grab real good, we would be
at a loss there.

223 14 34 35 CDR Having handholds at workstations are a little bit


wasteful, mainly because it turns out that, when
you go to a workstation, you want to anchor your
feet and do some work there. Now if you're coming
up to a squawk box, such as I'm holding onto right
now, you definitely need - definitely need these
little bitty - standoff switch guards and handholds
to react your forces against. So they're useful
things and very good to have, but you certainly
don't need a handhold near this box, if I were -
And the handholds running around the dome that
essentially we thought would lead you hand over
hand down the dome are never used sometimes people
fly up in the dome to do something and they grab
one, hut it's not needed. We should not have put
them there. Definitely should not use handholds
as a pathway. The technique for moving in the space
station is more of a flyaround where you're at one
position, you fly to the next and fly to the next.
So that would be my comment there.

s_
664

223 14 35 34 CDR STS handrails. They're good things, the reason


being you don't do any work in the STS. You merely
stop there and read some gages _md the like. You
don't need to put your feet in _mything firm, and
that's exactly what they allow you to do. Now
there may be a - an excess of those handrails, but
they're not noticeable, like mo_t excess.

223 14 35 57 CDR MDA handholds and handrails. There are not a lot
of them there. I'll have to look at them later
and give you an evaluation of them but I can't say
that I've used very many of them. There's plenty
of objects and boxes and small containers - EREP -
that allow you to use them as sort of handholds when
you need to.

223 14 36 20 CDR Triangular shoe cleats and gridE - excellent. Those


are excellent things. The only suggestion I could
make would someone try to come up with a triangular
shoe cleat that would be easier to engage into the
triangular grid. The grid itself is good; it has
only one bad feature and that's that much of the
area of usable tri - or triangles of triangles
is not usable because the beams and other support-
ing structure is flush against the floor. My
suspicion would be that we could have added stand-
off of about one-half inch in length and thereby
making _Imost all the triangular grid usable. In
some areas, particularly up near the food lockers,
there is a shortage of grids. _ow there is some
shortages of grids around the food compartment.
I think these can be improved. We do definitely
need, in a future space station, something like a
triangular grid or the next generation, let's say
magnetic shoes with some kind of magnetic floor.
Anyhow, you need the ability to pin yourself down
at any point to do work because there's no way to
forecast beforehand where the d_fferent work ex-
periments will be performed or particularly where
they'll be stowed. So there's _. need to have an
ability to lock one's legs down at all different
points.

223 14 37 33 CDR Conical shoe cleats and grid. -Have not tried
them but will. Water tank foot platform. Have used
it several times, not just for _km. Found it to be
an excellent restraint. It has the disadvantage
665

of being heavy and being in the way when you're


not using that restraint and, certainly, if you had
triangle grids there, which you do have fairly
close, it would be adequate. My suggestion would
be those are special-event sorts of things. May-
be - They're much better than the portable hand-
rails, so that - so maybe that's the sort of thing
we should want to have made portable with a pin
where you could fly it out, pin it into the floor
and then use your knees to hold yourself on.

223 14 38 12 CDR ATM foot platform, excellent. Same comments about


it ap - The comnents I made about the floor applied
there; same thing. I'm going to have to leave now,
but I'll return and pick up on PGA foot restraints.

223 14 43 14 SPT Okay, SPT recording on channel A. This message is


to Dr. Paul Patterson in the ATM science room. We
do have the Polaroid camera activated now and our
first pictures are really pretty good. I don't
__ find words adequate to describe them right now, but
we'll keep you informed as to how our picture-taking
efforts proceed. That information goes to
Dr. Paul Patterson.

223 14 43 44 SPT SPT out.

223 15 O0 30 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A, debriefing the


last ATM pass. After building block i had been
completed, I took a little bit of time to pick up -
a couple of modified item 5's on active region 86
and active region 85. I noticed, from the pad for
the rest of the day, that we'd spend most of our
time - on JOP 2C, so I didn't want to look at
prominences. But - or it's not 2C, it's up at 4 -
JOP 4. So I wanted to take a quick glance at the
active regions sometime during the day. So those
two item 5's, or modified versions therof, are on
active regions 85 and 86. No - no other special
comments on the last ATM pass.

hold the pushbutton when you position the VTS down
Just below the horizon. And hold it there for
3 seconds. Then release the pushbutton and the
.... hand controller and let the spacecraftmotion take
it. And then each time you go down, Just hold the
pushbutton. And hold it there for 3 seconds.

CDR Okay, I got it. In other words, they want the


pushbutton pushed during the period when we're not
taking data - not good data. Understand.

cockeyed angle. The horizon is not - Well, when
we go to SI, we don't - we go back to that roll,
So the horizon is not - perpendicular to the line

223 15 54 07 CDR I want to go to ALIGN, ON. They claim that might


be better - -

PLT Boy, these EREP guys made a good checklist and


a good set of cue cards. They got all the data
you might ever want in here. FAST FORWARD is
120 inches per second. That's i0 feet per second.
So if we have i00 feet left, it'll take i0 seconds
to run it out. We'll Just check them out on
that. Stand by for 57, AI.

CDR Turns out if you put the ALIGN, ON, and get low
sensitivity in OFF/HIGH, it's better for this
arrangement.

PLT Okay. ALIGN, ON, huh?

CDR It's going to be good to do. I'ii report the


clouds, too. It may have ... 57:15 is what l'm
looking for.

being done at 50. We're still running 30 seconds
behind. So that's going to be how everything comes
off, 30 seconds behind. Going out through the
airglow again. That's quite a pretty airglow
today. Now we're cutting to scattered clouds
instead of broken to overcast. But they're still
look like a - From the angle on the horizon, I
don't think you can really tell the difference.
Okay, 01:i0. We're running behind about 30 seconds;

maybe; it's going to be close. We're way out


through the airglow. We're not going to make
the 02:30 one because we're already at 02:00.
We'll make the 02:30 one late because I want to
give you all this airglow stuff. Everything's
okay, though. Okay, I've got to go back. Punching
in the button. Three degrees below horizon, I'm
tracking. I'm letting go. That's the last one.

223 16 02 31 CDR Okay, we're going to start this thing. Instead


of 02:30, we're going to start it at some other

hard to tell where the horizon is here. We're
looking down into it - -

on, that's where it's going to be.

CDR Okay, l'm going to reposition the gimbals. They've


gone off a little bit; l'm going over a little
bit to the right. Okay, now they're still zero
and 3. Interestingly enough, it looks like there's
a star in the field of view up in the upper
left-hand corner; it's hard to tell. It may be
a reflection on something.

PLT Feel better. Feel much better. Feels good to


get them, doesn't it?

223 17 37 48 CDR This is for the ATM group; CDR Just finished the _
pass - 16:58. It went entirely nominal. I ran
54 GRATING IN for all the steps of the chips of
Step 2, and then I moved the GRATING back out
again, and ran - that on step 1. Not a lot to
report. It's difficult over at the - target 85
to find a special bright point. It's so flat
that it only appears on the scope as a vertical
line, and that vertical line is about the only
thing you can work _th. I've maintained the
roll you suggested of a minus 10800 for the
first - couple of chips. And then back down to
chip B where you wanted us to roll for 82B again,
I rolled slightly, maybe l0 degrees or something
like that. I tried to Just get the difference
for you. And I also moved the 82B on H-alpha 1
crosshairs slightly towards the limb, and - but
still remained in a bright plage to try to get
you some change in data points there. However,
it just wasn't - there isn't that much variety
out there at the limb at the moment.

223 17 39 19 CDR And then I moved that active region over to the
other side of the limb. And - and - That is,
I rolled to minus 796, and then - the - step 1.
Now it's conceivable that you wanted the other,
but I looked at the - XUV MON and felt that
you probably really wanted active region 85
over there, out from under the pylon, and that 's
why I put it there. That's the end of debriefing.

223 17 39 56 CDR out.

223 17 51 21 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.


The subject is T002. We're getting ready to take

223 17 52 00 PLT MARK," 17:52, day 223. Okay, we'll try to get a
few zero bias sightings in first.

PLT And the star we're going to use is - for zero bias,
is Fomalhaut. There's Fomalhaut right over there.

PLT Fomalhaut is right down the home plate third


baseline of Pegasus. We're getting positively
identified. Same group up there, with no
problem.

223 17 54 09 PLT Okay, we'll go the same way on the Marbury [?]
time - make sure we account for any slip of the
gears. Going to get the assembly stabilized
here.

PLT Okay, we got Fomalhaut zeroed in and looks like


there's between the two optic trees, there's -
they're offset by a horizontal difference by
about two star widths. I could squeeze two more
Fomalhauts in between the two that I see. That's
when the sextant is held in its normal position in
f respectto the face. And let me give you a mark.

223 17 55 14 PLT MARK. And that reading is 00.001.

PLT Make a note of that. And we'll take another


one, zero bias -

223 17 56 13 PLT MARK. 0.0, on the opposite side of zero this


time; it's 9 - 9.999.

PLT Third zero bias.

223 17 57 23 PLT MARK. That one is a 0.002.

PLT And the fourth zero bias -

223 17 58 12 PLT MARK. 0.003. And I think - to point out that


the sextant when held in the hand up here, wiggles
around about as much as it does in the trainer
back in Houston. Okay, here's your last zero
bias -

223 17 58 47 PLT MARK. 9.999. Okay, we're going to pick a


couple of stars here, and take a look at them.
692

And rather than choosing the ones selected in '


the - suggested in the pad, which I believe were
Fomalhaut and Enif, I get a better shot at
Fomalhaut and our friend over there, Diphda.
Diphda - running off the second and third baseline
of - of Pegasus. And I reckon that's about 4 or
5 degrees of runners up here, or so. You find out.

223 18 00 58 PLT Okay, I'm having a little difficulty getting


Diphda on the reticle. Got the hood up right
away, couldn't survive without it.

223 18 02 42 PLT Most of the reflection off the floor is getting me.

223 18 04 38 PLT My difficulty in locating stars is tlhat the -


letting in light transmission somehow - stars show
up better in the sextant than they d_ with the
naked eye _ therefore, there are always more
stars when I go to look for them in the sextant
than there are to the naked eye. I get a different
pre sent at i on.

223 18 06 O0 PLT Well, I'm going to put some filters in here, and
see if I can make the picture out the window
look the same as - the picture in the sextant
looks the same as the one out the window. Oops!
I can't see anything now. I don't w_mt that one.
Ah - both of the straight line-of-fl:[ght - sight
filters are too darn powerful. Can't; see
anything when I use them; let's try the rain line
of sight here. Oh, that one's too powerful; try
this one. All these filters, when you use them
are - you Just can't see anything at all.

223 18 06 54 PLT I'll have to go with no filters, and Just figure


out where these things are, somehow.

223 18 07 30 PLT Hey, can I get you guys to turn out the lights on
the floor, for a minute, until I can get located,
please? Oh, boy, I Just really can't find them
in the sextant here. No, Just so there's no
glare on the floors reflecting up on the window.
Please. Well, and some in the dome, too, be-
cause they reflect on this floor.

PLT There's a whole bunch right down in here. I


still got a whole lot of light down here. Turn
/ /-_ 693

them off. That's better; that's better. Thank


, you. Wheream I?

223 18 09 58 PLT No. That ain't too good. If you had a piece of
paper or something, it'll work better. I'll tell
you, you can see the stars a lot better through
the window, and it misleads you.

223 18 l0 18 PLT I don't know how it works, but you sure can.
I think its because of the magnification probably.
I think.

223 18 12 12 PLT No, sorry.

223 18 17 58 PLT Okay, space fans, you may not believe this, but
we're finally getting a couple of stars together.
And as a result of the difficulty in finding
Diphda I have switched over to Enif and Fomalhaut.

223 18 19 33 PLT The reason why I'm taking so long is I need to


positively identify them. Okay, let's go.

PLT You ain't going to believe this either, but the


f- _ Sun's coming up.

PLT Trying to figure out some way to keep this


thing from wiggling so much.

223 18 21 24 PLT MARK. Okay, this first mark is 43.285.

223 18 22 48 PLT MARK. Second mark is 43.266.

PLT Okay, the light shining on - sunlight shining


off the VHF antenna is making too much brightness
on the windows. So, we're going to terminate
this and pick it up the next opportunity. And,
briefly, the problems encountered thus far are
these. Difficulty in - which I'm sure I'll
get used to - in locating the stars in the
sextant because more stars show in the sextant
than they do in the naked eye out the window.
And thus in finding landmarks in the sextant,
they are not visible in the - with the naked
eye. And when looking out for the land - for
landmarks out the window to put in the sextant
many more of them show up when you put your eye

f_
69_

to the sextant. So it's a problem of that i


sort. Now I - tried the filters, and all
the filters seemed to blot out all the stars.
Now I'll try that again later. But that seems to
be the problem with that. Now there's another
problem in the - stabilizing the thing. Seems to
be at least as Jiggly as it is in the trainer,
second floor, building h0 - second floor,
building h in Houston. So I'll work with this some
more and I think we'll get our marks in better
shape, and be able to knock them off a little more
quickly. But this is where we're going to leave
it for now.

223 18 24 57 PLT T002 out.

223 18 27 31 PLT Oh, by the way, the temperature at the end of


the session with the T002 here is 82 degrees,
82 degrees.

223 18 27 40 PLT Out.

TIME SKIP

223 19 17 00 CDR Hello, hello.

223 19 19 19 CDR This is the CDR and recording some in_brmation on


487-3A for the PIs. You know I had to stop re-
cording several hours ago to do an EREP pass.
I'd like to give some ratings to some of the things
I have not, although I have discussed them. Let
me go back. The OWS flreman's pole; ]i'd give an
excellent. The OWS dome and wall handrails, I'd
give poor to adequate. STS handrails, I'd give
adequate. MDA handrails, poor to adecuate. Tri-
angular shoe grids and cleats, probab]_ adequate,
but as I have discussed, there could be easier
ways of using them. Conical shoe cleE_s, I have
not evaluated.

223 19 20 04 CDR Water tank foot ploy - platform, I give very good
and it would go up to excellent if it were some-
how portable. The concept of using your knees is
an excellent one. Portable equipment restraints -
port, no, portable PGA foot restraint_ - I would --
_- 695

give them an excellent except for one thing. The


, astropinmethod of keeping them there is very poor,
so I'd have to give them a very good. There's no
need for a complex pin like that. It could be a
simple clip pin. It could be a sliding lever.
It could be almost anything. To go to something
as wild as the astropin Just to hold something to
the grid is - or anywhere else, defeats the pur-
pose. It's too difficult to operate and under-
stand and there is just no desire on the part of
the crewmember to fool with it all the time. Port-
able - p - portable handholds, never used them on
the wall. I don't think they could be used. As
I suggested where - our hmndholds should be mainly
in traffic areas because it always seems (yawn)
that traffic areas have solid walls, and bolt
them toward the - excuse me, I'm yawning - toward
the - except these portable restraints. They
look like they might be useful in some areas but
I have not Used them yet, so I could not say.

223 19 21 _0 CDR Okay, next one is the portable equipment restraints,


f tethers, bungees, universalmounts. The universal
mount is an excellent device, needs to perhaps be
a little stiffer at the - at the angle, so that
when you adjust it, it stays adjusted. The bungees
and tethers - the best bungees are these spring ones
or maybe that's what you're calling bungees, but
these spring ones with the snaps on them. The ones
with the hooks on it are a little bit dangerous.
I recommend having at all times these bungees and
hooks and maybe permanently affixing them to all
doors, because it appears that that's where we
end up using almost all the bungees - carrying
them over to the doors and snapping them on. Now
the thing that I worry about those hooks is they're
rather sharp. Looks like if you got one small and
Just the right way, it could take your eye with
it. That sure wouldn't be a good idea. So there
ought to be a way to affix them to doors and holds
_thout making them quite so sharp. I think they -
Some of the ones up in the command module have
blunter hooks and certainly acceptable. We use
those here. Suggest that we have those on every
spacecraft ; they are extremely useful.
696

223 19 22 48 CDR Tethers, short tethers are a little 1)itsmall for


any job, but - okay. I - I - By the way, l'd give
the bungees an excellent - excellent. I give them
an excellent to very good. Tethers I give - and
restraints, I give a very good, very good. The -
the short strap is a little short. If the short
strap were about 2 inches longer, it would do all
the things - almost all the things that you
generally have to have done. Of course you would
still have the requirement, some 25 percent of the
straps to be long straps, and maybe some additional
i0 or 15 percent of the total straps to be those
big tiedown - long tiedown straps. Those are
excellent, those are - l'd give those very good.
l'd give them excellent except they':re hard to
slide and hard to adjust. Now when you are ad-
Justing them, they - oft times, the snaps pop
off. l'd recommend in cases of those devices
where you're going to be trying to strap down
loads and put loads on them, that you use - fold
a snap pad - snap fasteners just in the right
direction, so that when you take up tension, you
don't always pull them off. It tends to diminish
somewhat the advantage of those fixed straps.

223 19 24 07 CDR The tethers, the wrist tethers are good. The wrist
tethers are good. The only disadvan-zage that I
can - by the way, I give them a very good - is
the way they sometimes - sometimes difficult to
get them off your wrist to work them. They're so
difficult, in fact, that you tend to once you have
it off your wrist to leave it floating free and
this could be - a dangerous situation in EVA and
certainly gives you an additional - or blinds and
hooks and things going around in front of your eye
which, you know, gives you added trouble when you're
trying to - in your rather clumsy glove and suit
work on an EVA problem. How we can do it, I don't
know. Maybe they should be somehow :Fixed so they
can be wrapped once around the wrist and then snapped
rather simply. But I don't have any answer for
that.

223 19 24 57 CDR ATM seat backrest restraint. Persom_ly, I'd give


it a poor. Mostly, not because of the chair itself,
because the chair seems okay. It's _he fact that
when attached to the foot restraint there, the
thing wobbles all over and - and makigs noise and Just
697

doesn't seem stable enough. Somehow when you


attach your foot to the same grid, you don't mind
to flop around. I assume that your legs accept
it, but when you attach the chair to it, and it
flops back and forth by 3 or h or 5 degrees, at
least in my case, it's very troublesome. I would
suggest that this sort of thing would be good if
it had more adjustments back and forth and then
tilt as it does and particularly so it's affixed
to a rather solid foundation. The seat itself is
solid. Its attachment to the floor structure of
the ATM is good. It's Just that the ATM floor
structure' s rather loose.

223 19 25 57 CDR Waste management hygiene equipment. Fecal col-


lestion equipment - I would have to give a good
to that. The reason is - let's - let's talk off
this thing just about as - for a few minutes.
First of all, it takes time to work. It seems
to me there must be a better way to get rid of
waste material with putting a bag on, taking a
bag off, weighing it, and all that. Now I
f- realize that if those requirementshad not come
with this design of fecal seat but it came with
the experiment. So it would appear that maybe
some of these could be eliminated rather simply.
The flush toilet is the obvious answer. What
we're going to do about fecal matter touching
the sides of the bowl and making it rather poor to
look at and esthetically displeasing, I don't
know. Perhaps if you have some quick, solid
insert you throw into the seat, use it, and then
push the insert in afterwards; one that doesn't
take near so long. The - That's about all I can
say.

223 19 27 00 CDR I think we could use a little bit more airflow


and also I think it could be a little deeper. I've
noticed when I expell a rather normal bolus, it
ends up touching the bottom of the fecal collector
and therefore _ushing back on the anus. It tends
to then break free and starts rubbing around on
the cheeks and that makes the messy operation. It
would appear to me that we could just make that
3, 4, or 5 inches longer; some other number. I
don't know what it is and the bolus would not -

then make it so messy, which takes time to clean


/_-_ up. Urine collection equipment, way too much
698 _-

trouble. The - needs much more airflow. There


are several things that occur. One, when you
urinate with sifficient volume, you .-an stop up
the centrifuge and cause backflow and that tends
to scare you a little bit. In addition to that,
if - when you finish urinating your last little
drop, you'd like to wipe it off on something as
oppose d to always getting a tissue, vhen you wipe
it off on the edge of the cup, it ju_3t hangs there
in a big blob. When you move the cup ... it comes
off and becomes a beautiful gold ball swimmlng
through the air and you have to figure a way to
jerk out something and stop it - cat._h it. And
that's a lot of trouble_ So I think more airflow
and some sort of paying attention to boundary
layer control where the air would tend to flow
along the boundary of the cup and some little
amount in the middle, I think, would do the job.
Maybe some little point where you could rub off
the penis and get the last drop where the airflow
was especially high would be good.

223 19 28 3h CDR Handwasher - good, except that the seal is rather - _-_
loose and - it bypasses soapy water Just at the
wrong time. It'll work i0 times - by the way, I
would give the urine collection - I've already
classed it. The handwasher, I would give only an
adequate. Handwasher - it works right three or
four times. The next time you put in a - a wash-
cloth and try to work it - it bseks up. It squirts
out the sides and gets all over the ceiling. This
is discouraging and requires time to clean and
seems to me we could have doublesealed it and done
away with all that trouble. Another problem with
the handwasher is it only operates - By the way
I'm talking about the hand squeezer _t the moment.
I'm not talking about the squirter. The squirter
I'd give an excellent. It puts out hot water in
the right direction. But let's go back to the - to
the squeezer.

223 19 29 27 CDR The squeezer then has small holes at the bottom,
so when you're squeezing washrags - And you can-
not squeeze towels, and that's a disadvantage.
In fact, if those holes get jammed up, I think
that's what causes the backflow and also prevents
drying the towel. It needs more screens with
thickermesh on the bottom than Just a couple of _-_..
-- 699

small holes. All in all, the device is - the con-


I cept is good. And we need somethinglike that in
space. It just needs to be enhanced from - a user
point of view. Fix it so it won't backsquirt, so
it'll do bigger towels, so it'll get Almost all the
water out. Another disadvantage of the whole
business is you have to dump it every night. It
would seem to me that these sorts of things could
be hooked up almost on a - automatic basis to the
vent, so that you - as you squeeze down, it opens
a vent and sucks the stuff out and you didn't have
to dump the bag. All that takes time and extra
work.

223 19 30 26 CDR Fecal/urine collector lapstrap and handholds.


Handholds are not particularly useful, I don't
think. Don't use them at all. The lapstrap is
so-so, but once again, it's not a positive locker.
You need on that lapstrap a belt which you could
pull down and fit yourself tight. I will admit
that it's in the right ***, that's it's fairly
easy to get on, but it still leaves you the
feeling that in just a few minutes, you're going
f to float off and then you're going to be in trouble.

223 19 30 51 CDR Waste management compartment, handwasher hand-


rail - good easy to lock. I'd give it an excellent.
Waste management ... ceiling handrail, same. Ex-
cellent, easy to lock. Waste management compart-
ment light-duty foot restraints, poor. They're
in front of the urine system. They will restrain
you. The whole bathroom needs a little work on
restraints. I think one of the best things that
could be done is somehow making our restraints to
the floor - when you're Just taking the urine sys-
tem and raise it off the floor by 6 inches, it
would work Just as well and everything would have
been Just right. The - I notice that when I'm
doing the fecal operation, the place I put my feet
is right behind the urine trays. There's a little
well in there. You can put your feet in the well
and then put your toes under the lip, and that
works out superbly. And it seems to me that some
sort of a little lip like that could have been
placed in front of the urine system and then that'll
end part of the - of the whole waste management
problem. You could float in there and use it.
700

223 19 31 54 CDR Drying stations. They seem to dry the towels ade-
quately although they float around. I have the 1
feeling that I could use more and wish that they
were further apart, but once again that's a con-
straint of space. In any event, they seem to
work real well. The shower we have not used. Give
you an evaluation later. Personal hygiene kit.
I like it so-so. I think that - taking things out
of out of the little kit all the time is a pain.
We should have attached Velcro to each item and
then we could have taken the ones out of the kit
that we wanted, put in our - with all the Velcro
that's in there, which is an excellent idea. I've
done some of my items that way, but some I have not.
And that way you could reach in there and get them
without taking out the box. Another thought on
the box is that it's way too safely designed to
prevent things floating out. It's got two inner
flaps, two outer flaps. What should have been done
or maybe what could be done now is to take the
scissors and remove the inner flaps. That leaves
the outer flaps. Then when you want to get in it,
Just flip them open and you're right in the box.
Having two additional flaps doesn't keep the items
particularly in there. All it does is make you
have to work harder to remove them. These re-
straints are definitely - eliminate that - if it
were possible.

223 19 33 12 CDR Let's talk a few minutes about the wardroom table.
The wardroom table has the advantage of being the
main meeting place of the - of the flight. It's
nice to sit around it. It's convenient. The
handhold - I mean the legholds, the foot - leg re-
straints, the footholds seem to be very good about
keeping you in position. And the general layout
of the table is good. I think that the idea of
having hot water and cold water right in the middle
where everyone can get at it equally is good. I
think maybe we should of had some sort of same
thing there where everybody could get at his food
Just as easy. We've got the food in the pantry.
And the pantry idea is good if you put everything
in there and then you go get the ones you want out.
Now we've got everything that dispensed in indi-
vidual - type drawers. And we could have very
simply put each person's food near him. Now I'm
not in favor of doing that. I'm in favor of having
f 701

a true pantry, so when it comes time to eat, you


1 go and look in the orangeplace to get out your
orange and all that other. I think that would
facilitate not only getting dinner ready, but it
would facilitate changing the menu and it would
definitely facilitate stowage, because then you
could wander out when something ran low and Just
find a big box of orange Juice - let's say. Pick
a bunch of orange Juices then and put it back in
stowage, instead of having to wait a certain amount
of time, and put them in sequence. In other words,
we'd operate Just as we do the towels - washrags,
which have worked out well.

223 19 34 h9 CDR Another - the trays themselves are excellent.


The - the - Let me look, we'll probably get to that
in a few minutes. Let's - let's - That's general talk.

223 19 34 59 CDR Let's talk about thigh restraints. Thigh restraints


are good. They' re able to adjust tightly enough
and at angles that are pleasing to the individual.
I don't think they're exceptionally good without
the - foot restraints because they're very small
and you can't get a torque off of them. I think
they might be improved if you put the front part of
the foot restraint - of the thigh restraint and
made it not longer, but wider. In other words,
so it covers more of the - of the thigh up and
down. Which would give you a place to torque off
of, allow you to move around a little bit easier.
But, all in all, I would have to rate those as a
adequate - wardroom table, I would rate as a very
good.

223 19 35 h5 CDR Wardroom light-duty food restraints, very poor.


Very seldom does the food stick Just right because
the cloth that's over the cans is the size of the
opening. I found that you can squeeze the cans a
little bit and make them concentric and they'll
stick pretty well. There are no other light-duty
foot [sic] restraints except putting on the Velcro,
which we did. Now it seems to me that we need
maybe a spring on each side and some Velcro around
it - in intelligent places so that we could - slap
the - the - our drinks and eats on the table with-
out always having to put them inside. In addition,
when the cover goes on, it's difficult to attach
anything to the table and - for example, the
magnetic feature doesn't seem to work on the box.
702 -_

So that needs to be enhanced a little more to make


it as simple as possible. Also we need a nice I
stowage place for the knife, fork, and spoon on
the tray or - The one we've got now is plastic and
it takes you forever to get it in there and when
it's in there, it doesn't come out right.

223 19 36 52 CDR Water gun seems adequate, fits good, puts out the
right amount out and it's easy, too. I'd have to
admit the water gun's good. I would tend to make
a bigger rubber flap on it from the point of view
that every once in a while you hit your teeth
with it. And it's possible to bust your teeth
if you're not careful and that would be a bad
thing. There's a lot of mass there and you really
need to have the front part of it - not have that
metal front area with the rubber tip. It should
probably be all rubber.

223 19 37 16 CDR Food cans need more quality - quality control.


Way too heavy for the job they do. I don't know
the answer. It's certainly a lot better to eat
out of them than it is to just take those plastic
packs and hold them in your hand. Because this
way it looks like you're getting a plate dinner.
There's got to be some way to minimize the can
weight. Beverage dispensers seem to have worked
okay. I would have to give, by the way, the - the
water gun an excellent and the food tray a - a
very good. Food cans, I would give an adequate -
adequate to poor because of the total weight and
time. It's amazing how much ... can take up.
Beverage dispensers we were talking about, I have
to give them a very good. The only thing I can
think about them bad is it takes time sometimes
to get the top off the beverage dispenser and
that's time and effort. We'd like to do away
with that. Must be some better way than that to
snap it ...

223 19 38 59 CDR Okay, there we are again. We'll continue on.


Beverage dispensers, we talked about - or did
we? Beverage dispensers seem to be okay. They
need something near the top to push them down.
Plus get them open. This is the same for the food -
Just cans or what's inside the cans. It's hard to
grip the little neck of it to push the thing over
the water dispenser. Needs a little bit more of a
_-_ 703

ridge - plate. Now the beverage dispensers seem


l to work okay. We had minimum leakage and the like.
But the thing we didn't have was an easy ability
to get the drink portion in. I always had the
feeling that it was conceivable to break your front
teeth off on that - as you put it in, if you got
that little insert cockeyed, so I've been using my
fingers. There must be a tilt valve or something
we could attach to it where you drank and then -
I mean you filled and then when you were ready
drink, you Just tilted it. There must be a design
somewhere of that, and I'm sure there is. It
probably leaks. It seems to me we should stop
there.

223 19 40 03 CDR Seasoning dispensers, we had several kinds. The


salt - salt was way too much trouble to get Just
a little old small remount of salt in those packages
and I know the experimenters probably got ... in
here. But actually we need something that'll
dispense salt. Now one thing that I've noticed
works well. I had a pep - pepper in a can up
here. I pointed the pepper out and squeezed the
can a little, and a squirt of pepper came out.
Now it has the disadvantage of if I didn't watch
out and moved the can, it would Just come out on
its own. I had a bottle up here with garlic salt.
I found it was very difficult to get anything out
of the bottle even shaking it, tipping it - tapping
on the back with a finger. What occurred was that
the stuff came out and instead of heading right
down to the plate, it meandered off. I think the
best bet is to come up with something like these
little catsup dispensers or mustard dispensers
that are plastic and suspend these spices in some
sort of liquid. And then when you want some, Just
as you done the salt except put them in bigger
things and you can get more. And then when somebody
wants some, you can take the cap off, point it
down there and squeeze, just like you squeeze
mustard on down at the ball games. Except in this
case, it would be pepper or garlic pepper, or any-
thing else. The glass worked poorly. The next
best thing is the metal can because you can kind of
squirt them out by squeezing on the side of the can
and getting all that kind of effect. The best
is some sort of little plastic squirter that you

223 19 41 33 CDR Eating utensils, too small. Should be Just


normal eating size. Working around with a little I
old knife, fork, and spoon is ridiculous. We
don't eat that way at home. You don't eat that
way at home. Why would you want us to eat this
way up in space? You've got a billion tons of
equipment up here and it certainly wouldn't hurt
to have the right-size knives, forks, and spoons.

223 19 41 50 CDR Miscellaneous. I give the eating utensils a -


By the way, they need stronger magnetic holders.
l'd give them a adequate. And I'd give them a
very good if they were bigger and had those stronger
magnetic forces. Miscellaneous. Sleep restraint.
Sleep restraint is a good thing. And the reason
it's good is it's got something that holds your -
I used to think it was your body down, but I'm
beginning to believe that what you really like
is your head held on a pillow. You've got a nice
pillow that is adjustable, and it's got a holddown
for the head. The straps around the body are good.
They need to be wider and they need to be more
of them so that you can pull yourself down more
all over the place, than just three or four places.
Also, I think a disadvantage of this sleep restraint
is the fact that you got a lot of air captured in
there. And as a result, when you - you get cold
at night because you don't - you can't - need all
those blankets in there. So you need some sort
of method - bungees of some sort that will take
the blankets and sort of pull them down on you.
That way you don't have to heat such a big airspace
to stay warm. You, of course, need the capability
to relax that squeeze-down ability so that - so
that when you want to be cooler, you can. The
netting is so-so. Several of the fellows slept
on the outside and I have not. I've always slept
in the - in the netting. The location of the sleep
restraint I don't like, because the air flows up
around your nose, and it dries it out. This is a
dry environment anyway, l've found it much more
convenient to mount my bunk upside down. l've
been sleeping that way for several days and not a
bit of trouble, certainly better. Still the venti-
lation is a bit difficult.

223 19 43 35 CDR Trash airlock, sorry design. And the reason it's
sorry -
I- 7o5

223 19 45 09 CDR Okay, let's get back to the trash airlock; poor
I design. One, because there's a single-point
failure that could drive you crazy. It needs -
we need much more effort on trash disposal at the
space station. I never realized what a total
amount of time it takes to work the problem.
Having to put them in - in bags is time consuming
and troublesome. There ought to be a way where
we could Just stick them in, compact the trash and
shove it out as a big block, wherever we want to
shove it. This whole concept of bagging them and
handling them is - is poor. The whole thing needs
to be a complete revision. Also, the - the trash
airlock needs to be shapgd like a reverse cone,
so that there's no chance of putting more in it
than - than - and it will stick. If you put it
in like a reverse cone, if it did expand slightly,
you'd push it - it would tend, as you push it,
to go to less and less friction. Also, the little
area there where the plate slides back - the
bubble plate at the bottom swings - the little
eyelid swings out. That's an area where stuff
F can get caught. This whole trash,we - overlooked
and has got - got to give it a lot more thought
on the future space stations, because trash is
going to continue to increase and we don't want to
pack everything so expensively and try not to use -
only Just what we have to which we should - should
try to pack to get away from that as we have on
ships. So we're going to have to do something
better about the trash. This is a rudimentary
device. I don't know what we would do without
it, though.

223 19 46 40 CDR Vacuum cleaner, not enough suction. It Just


needs more suction and ... although it seemed
to get in every place we tried to, but the vacuum's -
It's Just not enough vacuum. We need more. You
couldn't sell that to a housewife in 15 minutes,
She'd say it doesn't pick up anything. Let's
get a bigger fan and all that.

223 19 _7 01 CDR Wardroom table - non eating. Don't use it for


non eating. We've - I take that back. We've
written things on it -worked checklists on it -
work ok - works okay. Tool caddy, nobody seems to
use it. It was a great idea, but it turned out that
706

it's easier to stick stuff in your pocket and - or


put in a bag. The caddy is just - is an open pock- r
et. It doesn't seem to have any big advantage.

223 19 47 25 CDR Portable fan, so-so. It doesn't have enough blowing


force and l'd give it - by the way, let me back
up. On sleep restraint, I'd give a very good, or
adequate. Needs more work, but it's on the right
track. Trash airlock, l'd have to give a poor.
Vacuum cleaner, poor. Wardroom table (noneating
uses), I'd have to give it poor to adequate. It
has no restraints or any other things. You put
the top on there and try to put a book down_ you
got to go get the bungees: Not enough Velcro.
It just - doesn't make a good desk. And we do
need something of that nature. Tool caddy, I'd
give it a poor and not needed. Portable fan, l'd
give poor to adequate - needed, but not used
because it's too much trouble to have that blowing
up there.

223 19 48 14 CDR 0DAE kit - that's a good thing, particularly the


music. Everybody likes it. The only problem
is we end up having to work on those rollers that
drive the tapes all the time because they wear out.
Suggest an improved tape drive, or if not, multiple
spec - special rollers which you snap on. So when
your roller quits working and driving, you took
off the old, snap on a new one, and press on.
Their cleaning and drying and fooling around with
during working hours takes some time and is not
useful. I won't go through each item except books
are a good idea; playing cards are poor idea; darts
are out to lunch. Exercisers probably ought to
be there, but we've been - not been using them.
I'll think about it some more.

223 19 49 09 CDR Garments, garments are good. We got enough -


sufficient garments. And they fit well; the only
problem I can see with the garments is there's
no convenient loops on them the size - the snaps
that are the same size as the stuff on the wall,
so that you can snap holders, strings to it, and
carry things about.

223 19 49 31 CDR Small sized books fit well in the pocket. The
large ones don't and you Just try to attach it to
the string and if that string doesn't really attach,
it's not convenient anywhere. The concept of
short - short sleeves and short-leg and long -
7O7

long-legged pants is superb. It works great. We


use them a lot, and should not be changed. Shirts
I are good; Jacketsare good, and it's cool enough
to wear them. Clothes - clothes are one of the
best. I think the only bad thing about the clothes
are the pockets for the scissors, the pocket for
the knife. We should have made a flap that held
them down with Velcro about twice as big, so as to
get some Velcro grip. We're always losing scissors
and knives because they get banged out of our
pockets as we go through hatches. Light baffle
works well; no complaints. By the way, I give
garments a very good. I give light baffle a [sic]
excellent, I guess.

223 19 50 19 CDR Privacy curtains, seems to work okay. Doesn't


block completely the light and - nor the ... We
need a place where everybody can go and close the
door and the sound quits, noise quits, and he
doesn't have any other problems after that. Play
his music as loud as he wants, and nobody hears
it. Privacy curtain does not do that. For that
reason, I'd give it - a poor. This is the CDR.

A few words for the TO02 experimental folks,
Bob Nute, for one, and Bob Randle for another.
I finally got off the first TO02 run; it went
much better. I think I got the system figured
out now. And let me recap. I - on the first
part of this run I had difficulty in locating a
star, but I think I got that psyched out quite _
a bit better now, and my five zero-bias runs
were as follows: 0.001, 9.999, 0.002, 0.003,
and 9.999. The diopter setting was 1.25 and the
temperature at the beginning was 71 degrees.
And I then had trouble getting Diphda in the
reticle, and I finally found Enif and put
Fomalhaut with it, and the first two readings, as
you recall, were 43.285 and 43.266. And that's
where I ended up that first pass and the tempera-
ture was 82 degrees. Well, the next night, things
got better, and I took the final eight settings
on that run, and the temperature beginning with
76 degrees. So number 3 sighting was 43.271,
then 43.272, 43.271, 43.276, 43.268, 43.266,
43.277, 43.266 was the final - 10th and final
reading, and the temperature winding up was
79 degrees and I did the number 3 and 210 settings -
starting at 20:20 GMT until 20:40 GMT. And
I'll try and get some more in the near future
and I think the settings, as you noticed, have
gotten a little more consistent than perhaps
you thought they would be to begin the afternoon.

seconds off the limb. The exposure length I
selected was 12 minutes, and l'm sure that the

223 23 06 21 PLT Okay, space fans; this is Jack, channel A. The


subject is T002, visual navigation sightings for
Bob Nute and Bob Randle. Just took my second
set of star-to-star sightings, run number 2 of
day 223, from approximately 22:30 to 23:00 GMT.
At the beginning of the run, the temperature was
71; diopter, minus 1.25. The stars are Formalhaut
and Enif. The first of five zero-bias settings as
follows: 0.005, 0.001, 0.001, 0.005, 0.003.
Now the i0 star-to-star sightings are as follows:
43.276, 43.267, 43.271, 43.271, 43.271 43.271, _
43.277, 43.271, 43.271, 43.271. Temperature at
end of run, 75 degrees. You notice there are
a number of readings all the same there. That was
done each time by separating the stars and then
projecting the line of sight, sQ that I could get
the stars lined up again and now they're coming
out pretty consistent. It turns out that you can't
hold the - the instrument - sextant steady all
the time. It still wiggles around and the stars
appear as snakes - kind of snaking around on there
but it's - apparently - (cough) apparently we can
line up the stars well enough to get some pretty
good readings. I lean the front of the sextant
up against the window and view out - pretty much
out of the center of the window. That'll be all
the runs for today. I can't think of any more to
add to this conversation at the present time.
We'll try to get some more in the near future.

223 23 09 31 PLT Good night.

223 23 i0 16 PLT Hello, space fans; this is Jack, on channel A.


The subject is M487-3 and probably my friend and
_- 711

professional golfer, Robert Bond, whould like this


information. This is subjective evaluation guide
number 1.

223 23 i0 39 PLT First subject is work restraints and mobility


aids. The workshop fireman's pole I rated excellent,
at the time that you need it. We used it when we
first came here and we use it - we could use it to
handle large loads, but just from my - Getting from
the workshop hatch down to the hole on the deck it's
not necessary. We don't have it up any more. We
don't use it and - However, I think it was used to
good advantage the first few days while we were here,
getting accustomed to floating around and in
transporting mainly the larger packages we had
to transport.

223 23 ll 32 PLT The workshop dome and wall handrails, I guess


they're okay, but we don't ever use them much.
We Just float between hatches. Seldom use the
handrail tulless we - seldom do we need to go re.
The only time we need to go there is to put some-
f thing in the workshophatch or possiblydo a
little vacuum cleaning. But normally there's no
need to be in between the dome lockers and the
hatch. So the workshop dome and wall handle -
handrails really aren't used very much. STS
handrails are those I presume in front of the
EPS/ECS control panel. Oh, they're used when we're
there to stabilize ourselves. But they are not
used for mobility. They're adequate; there's
probably more of them there than we need.

223 23 12 30 PLT MDA handholds and handrails; there aren't many


handholds and handrails in the MDA. Probably
could use some, not necessarily for hanging onto
things, or getting in a stable position, but more
in getting from one end of the MDA, from the STS
down to the command module. I know that when I
go in there I tend to use the handrails in the
airlock very much in - in mobility from one end
of the airlock to the other. Then I kind of float
over to the ATM, grab on to the - the writing
board there on the ATM, and then grab whatever
else happens to be sticking out or available.
So there aren't many good - handhold - handrails
in the ATM.
712

223 23 13 28 PLT Triangular shoe cleats and grid. I gave them a


very good; I think it's been a definite advantage
to have grid in as many places as possible,
because you never know where you need to stand
or where you need to anchor yourself and you
certainly can use the grid we've got to good
advantage when ... and ... The triangle shoes,
I wear - they - one on each foot all the time,
except when l'm sleeping, of course. I found
them very handy, l've noticed that they tend to -
perhaps I have them too loose. That's the way
I like them, but whatever position they are, they
tend to come out of the grid in the locked position;
frequently have to reach down and twist them
around to line them up so they'll go in the next
time.

223 23 14 26 PLT But the triangle shoe cleats are great and I
haven't used the conical shoe cleats at all. I
haven't tried them. I might mention that one
place you really need some handholds is right
around the film vault. There's nothing there to
hang on to. That film vault is Just a big square
object and you Just can't grab on. You don't
have any triangular shoes on and you're pretty
much out of luck in that film-vault area.
Frequently go up there with our socks on late at
night and put cameras away early in the morning,
before you get your triangle shoes on, and it's
a real unhandy place to be without handholds or -
or foot restraints.

223 23 15 13 PLT Portable PGA foot restraints - correction - ATM


foot platform is very good. I use it all the
time when I'm at the ATM, but don't use the chair.
And I always have myself anchored by one foot
at the ATM.

223 23 15 31 PLT Portable PGA foot restraints are - I tried for-


getting this. l'd rate them excellent. The
extra little pins that were put in there to keep
the feet in there, the PGAs down there by them-
selves were a very good position. And the portable
foot restraints worked very well in Suiting up, and
they also worked very well on the EVA the other
day when we carried a set outdoors to put up the
sail.
713

223 23 16 03 PLT Portable handholds. I haven't used any of them


yet. Portable equipment restraints, tethers,
bungees, universal mounts and so forth I would
rate them as adequate to very good. The tethers -
they're really not used very much except for the
tether that we strap onto the arm of the suit to
use for EVA. Be nice if there was a way to fasten
the EVA tether down to your arm with some sort
of elastic or something. One wasn't any use
because otherwise it flops around and catches on
things. The bungees we've got, we've used them
all. We've got them all over. I don't like the
ones with the sharp hooks on them because there's
a good possibility that _they could get loose
and zap you in the eye. I like the ones that
come in the command module much better. The
ones that were with the workshop are - could
be dangerous type of bungee. And I am always
very cautious when I use them. I prefer not to
be around them. We've got them mounted all over,
particularly on the front of the lockers in the
wardroom to hold down anything - checklist, maps,
s camera, flight plan, food bundles, extra drinks,
that is. Just anything that you might want to
hold down. My suggestion there is the next time
we go around we ought to build some bungees
right in a lot of places like that so we can hold
things down without having to get portable bungees.
Obviously we're going to need them, so we ought
to have them built right on the doors. Universal
mounts are - the only thing I don't like about
universal mounts is that the blocking - lock and
lever is not over center. It should be further
over center.

223 23 18 12 PLT ATM seat/backrest restraint, I haven't used. I


don't think anybody has except for maybe right at
first. We find it just as convenient to strap -
or to fix ourselves at the ATM with our feet. So,
we're not using the ATM seat/backrest restraint.

223 23 18 28 PLT Waste management/hygiene equipment is the next


subject. Fecal collection equipment; I rate that
very good to excellent. The only drawback to the
fecal collection business is that it's too much
of a nuisance to fill a new bag. There should
be a better way of fastening a bag on there - a

f-
714

lot quicker. It takes you about 30 seconds to


relieve yourself fecalwise and about i0 minutes
to take care of all the logging and putting the
thing in the heater and taking the one in there
out, securing that and then putting a new fecal
collection bag in.

223 23 19 12 PLT Urine collection equipment works very well, also.


Don't _Haven't had any spills; blowers all work
good. It's a - just a great system. It's no
fuss, no muss. If there's some way we could save
time in taking samples and changing bags and so
forth, that'd be a plus for that system but as
it is, it's pretty good,

223 23 19 36 PLT The handwasher is - is - used frequently. It


seems to work all right. Usually when you get
some water out of it get it on your hands, why a
few drops will splatter around and they go where
they may, mostly in to the back of the stainless
sink area. And they just collect on the wall.
The handwasher is a good deal; if you get soap
on your hands you can't very well rinse it off
because you can't get that much water on there.
So you wind up washing your hands with a little
bit of soap and then put a little more water on
there, which makes a little more suds; then you
wipe it off with a towel.

223 23 20 21 PLT Fecal/urine collector lapstrap and handholds.


First day or two I used the lap - lapstrap,
and it was very handy. I don't use it anymore.
I do use the handholds. They're in a good location
and I use the footholds on the fecal collection
position as well. Most for stabilization.
Triangular shoes fit quite well - not to be confused
with the foot restraints on the floor.

223 23 20 53 PLT WMC handwasher handrail. I guess l've used that


periodically, but mostly when you are in there,
well, you use the foot restraints, no place to
hold your hand. What you're doing in there most
of the time is working with your hands. There's
no - there's no extra hands to grab onto things.
What you need is good foot restraints.

223 23 21 12 PLT WMC ceiling handrail. I haven't even noticed.


Maybe I've used it and maybe I haven't. I don't
know. You sure don't need it to get in and out.
_ 715

223 23 21 21 PLT WMC light-duty foot restraints. I guess they're


okay for bare-footed operations. But most of the
time, you're not in there barefooted. You're in
there with your triangle shoes and that's a very
inefficient setup in there. There ought to be
some triangle cutouts in that floor like there
are around the wardroom table, so you can fasten
yourself down. Particularly true over in the
SMMD area and over by the fecal dryer area. You
need some foot restraints over there. You're
just floating and struggling there all the time.
And sort of wed - I sort of wedge myself in
between the wall - the two walls, with my feet and
my elbows up against thg other wall. The foot
restraints in there are almost nonexistent with
triangle shoes. Little wider or new straps -
installed to use with the triangle shoes really
don't do the Job either because the triangle foot's
on that floor and your toe comes out real easy.
The foot restraints often get in the way of
yanking out the urine drawers to the point of
frustration sometimes and pinching fingers other
_ times. So foot restraintsfor triangle shoes in
the wardroom or waste management compartment are
unacceptable.

223 23 22 55 PLT Drying stations work very well. I give them an


excellent.

223 23 23 01 PLT The shower I haven't had a chance to use yet;


just haven't had time.

223 23 23 05 PLT Personal hygiene kit. I like that hygiene kit.


l've used toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, the dental
floss, the safety razor, the shaving cream. I've
used the shaving lotion every day. The shaving
lotion that we brought up, Old Spice, I like
very much and use it every day. And I used
primarily the windup shaver to shave with; al-
though it's - has certain deficiencies, too.
If you ever let any of your whiskers grow out a
little bit long or you miss some, why they're
going to keep on growing because that windup
shaver doesn't catch anything but real short
whiskers. So at - I've still got the same head
I put on when we got here. It's been 2 weeks, now;
it's still working pretty good. And every once
in a while you've got to clean it out using the
716

overhead ventilator and - and the windup shaver


is working very well. Well, once a week I use a
safety razor and the shaving cream to get all thos_
extra, longer whiskers near the sideburns that the -
the mechanical shaver can't get. One thing that's
not on here is the vent overhead in the waste
management compartment. It's very good for collect-
ing things. It collects most everything up there,
and if you ever want to hang onto a checklist
or anything, why you Just put it up there and it'll
stay there. A]] the Junk stays _ there very
well until we vacuum it off. We leave it on all the
time - even when we're vacuuming. And the
vacuum will take the - the stuff off the screen
even though the - that fan up there is running.

223 23 25 ii PLT Okay, next page, food management equipment.


Wardroom table, I gave that an excellent. That's -
Everything works very well there. We always
have the table top stowed up above.

223 23 25 25 PLT The thigh restraints, I give them excellent,


also. I use them every time l'm there. The
wardroom light-duty foot restraints; they're
pretty so-so. I give them adequate, I guess.
They come out of their slots and they're a real
bugger to put back in. So l've got one that's
hanging out now and l'm Just using the left foot
at the moment until I get around to getting a
screwdriver or something to stick those back in
with. I - I use primarily the - the cutout for
the triangle shoes because that's what I've got
on most of the time. And I use a triangle shoe
cutout and a thigh restraint for stabilization
at the wardroom.

223 23 26 08 PLT Food reconstitution dispenser works real well.


I haven't had any major spills; _hey've been
charging up and dispensing satisfactorily.

223 23 26 20 PLT The watergun is a good device also. I have no


complaints about it at all.

223 23 26 25 PLT The food tray, I got no complaints about that


either. And we had to put a little Velcro on
top of it to hold our drinks do_, but the food
tray seems to work very good.
717

223 23 26 34 PLT Food cans, they - they're working all right, too.
I noticed, however, that when you take a can
out of the freezer, like frozen meat or ice
cream, and you immediately try to tear the lid
off, why instead - what happens is the little key
pull off without tearing the lid off. I guess
temperature's down there sufficiently so a little
force on there will peel the aluminum and the key
comes off. I noticed that if you let them warm
up a little bit, why, they work better.

223 23 27 07 PLT The beverage dispensers, some of them work all


right; some of them don't. The ones where you
don't have to have much reconstitution work pretty
good. The ones like - that contain - particularly
chocolate instant breakfast are pretty much
unsat[isfactory] because of the - the beverage
dispenser's all right, but the things inside either
don't reconstitute or they all sit down in the
bottom of the dispenser and don't mix up. And
frequently the - I don't think we are getting all
the minersl content out of the chocolate instant
f breakfast. And frequently your valve clogs up
with that stuff and you can't get but maybe
three-quarters of it out. And you have to blow
on it, squeeze again, and chocolate instant
breakfast in those dispensers is unsat. The
applejuice and cherry drink don't reconstitute
well with cold water, but we've licked that by
reconstituting with hot water - letting it sit
out all night to cool off; then putting it in
the cooler. And that apple drink and cherry
drink reconstitute very well using that technique
and I started using that technique just today
on the chocolate instant breakfast. I don't know
how it's going to pan out yet. It may be the answer
to our instant breakfast problem.

223 23 28 38 PLT Seasoning dispensers, don't use the pepper.


It kind of gets all over. I do use the tabasco;
it dispenses very well. A little tap on the back
end of the jar puts the squirt right where you
need it. And those are the only two l've tried so
far.

223 23 28 56 PLT Eating utensils (cough) are kind of small, partic-


ularly the spoons. But they do the job. The
magnetic holddown - holddowns on -zhe food table
are a good addition. Got a gripe on the wetpacks.
Those things are unsatisfactory. They're com-
pletely unacceptable. The reason is because some
of them - some of them, when you :gill them there's
too much volume in there ; and when you fill them
also the liquid goes clear up to zhe heat seal.
It goes past the black line where you're supposed
to cut. So when you go to cut, why you get
that stuff all over your scissors and it runs out,
and covers your scissors and it just makes a big
mess. The - the liquid inside the wetpacks tends
to adhere to the side of the bag _ud run up all
around the sides. So you never have a good solid
glob of food in there. It's all something that's
sticking to the sides, and the center of the food
pack is essentially empty and frequently there is
just a big bubble across the top of of the food bag
when you open it. And then when you go to put that
little short spoon in there, why you get the food
all over your fingers and all over the - the
handle of the spoon. And then that's just a big
mess, too. And the only way to lick that is to
use the command module spoon, and that's the
tablespoon size, and then you haw._ the mess halfway
up the spoon; but you don't have your hands in it.
So, I give the wetpacks a complete unsatisfactory
and that needs a little redesign. Also, the food
doesn't reconstitute as well in this because there
is so much empty volume that frequently you get in
there and there's the - clumps of unreconstituted
food, particularly with something like creamed
Corn.

223 23 31 02 PLT Sleep restraints I like very well. I give it a


excellent to very good, I sleep with the - only
with the netting and the - I guess you call it the
upper blanket. I use the head restraint and I
use three cushions in the head restraint. The
head restraint stays on all night. I guess I don't
move around too much. I don't have it on tight,
Just loose, loose enough to feel like l've got
something on there. I think I'm going to start
using the bottom blanket a little bit because it's
getting a little cooler in the workshop. And I
noticed that in the morning I wake up a little
- 719

chilly. I use the upper straps across the body.


I've loosened the bottom one. And when I sleep
in the sleep restraint why I feel a light pressure.
I've got the straps all loosened all the way out,
but I feel a light pressure and I generally sleep
on my side, although sometimes I start to sleep on
my stomach or on my back. I can close my eyes and
imagine myself in any position I want to, and
position really doesn't matter much. First, I -
the first few days of the flight I woke up with
the feeling as though I was laying on my back, but
I don't necessarily do that any more. And
orientation - -

CDR Jack.

PLT - - hasn't been a problem whatsoever.

223 23 32 44 PLT Stand by i on the - this 487. I'ii be back.

223 23 34 30 PLT Okay, here is the PLT back on 487; finish uo this
miscellaneous stuff. Sleep restraint, we
f
discussed.

223 23 34 39 PLT Trash airlock, I don't use it very much. AI's


been doing all the trash airlocking and you can
take his comments on that.

223 23 34 45 PLT The vacuum cleaner works very well. We got a lot
of vacuuming to do because that screen up there in
the dome gets real dirty, in addition to some of
fans in the - in the }_A and the fan in the W -
the filters in the _C. The mesh is too big in
the mol sieve area to collect anything so there is
no sense in worrying about that. Everything gets
caught there in the solids trap.

223 23 35 18 PLT Vacuum cleaner, we use it. We Just leave whatever


is running - running, fans and all. And the
vacuum cleaner sucks against that very well. Mostly
what we've picked up from the screens is paint chips
and bread crumbs and - and small pieces of paper
sometimes, and hair and lint, that kind of stuff.
Normally what I do when I vacuum is, I pick off
the big things and throw them on the trash bag
and then vacuum. And I've been vacuuming - I've
been changing the vacuum cleaner bag every time I've
used it because there's usually a lot of Junk that
- we pick up and so I figure it's gettingpretty full.
720

223 23 35 59 PLT Wardroom tables for noneating uses, don't use them
much for anything but eating. So the lid's always
stowed up there in the top. Once in a while, we
put the lid down on the food table - food trays,
and do some checklist changes and stuff on them
and you always have to hold things down. So if
there's some kind of little spring or something
over top of the - the some kind of checklist or
paper retention device on top of the wardroom
table, why it would be a plus; it's desirable, but
not mandatory.

223 23 36 36 PLT Tool caddy, I haven't used it but once. Never


usually get enough tools out at one time. When
I got a lot of tools out, why I used it. But
otherwise, l'm mostly sticking them in my pocket.
The time I did use it, however, it went very well.
Then once I didn't tie it around my waist so I
just carried it in for the VTR changeout and stuck
it underneath something and hooked the tools to it.

223 23 3700 PLT Portable fans - portable fans; we got two of them.
They work very good. One of them we got in the
workshop air into the cooler MDA area. It runs
all the time, night and day. Doesn't make any
noise. Puts out a fairly good airflow, and -
and doesn't seem to get hot. Those portable fans
are made for long life. One other port - portable
fan we use is the one we hook on the ceiling in
the experiment compartment to point at the guy
who's riding the bike to keep him cool. And it
works very well for that purpose.

223 23 37 42 PLT ODAE kit, I guess that must be -

CDR Hey! Jack .... entertainment kit.

PLT Okay. The entertainment kit. The only thing


that's got any use is the tapes. We have a busted
tape recorder in the wardroom there. And we'd
sure like it to be working. The other tape record-
ers, I don't give them a real good rating. The one
I've got doesn't seem to play very well. The tone
quality isn't real good. I think the tapes are
better than the tape recorder is telling me. I
clean it every once in a while; hut it doesn't
721

seem to make a lot of difference. It turns out


that I can't figure out how to use the earphones.
When you plug the earphones in, it doesn't cut out
the speakers, so you plug the earphones in and use
them but it bothers everybody. Those are the -
some of the funkiest earphones I've ever seen and
I don't think they're much good. Although I guess
they can be used. I tried it once, but I didn't
think much of them. Must be a better kind of
earphone than those. We haven't used the balls in
the entertainment kit ; we haven't used the cards.
We haven't had a chance to read many books - any
books at all. So we haven't used that; the darts
we haven't used. The only thing we used out of
the entertainment kit, I guess, is the tapes.
And they are a real plus and a real good addition.
We frequently listen to them when we're working
at a place that our concentration permits us to
listen to music. We carry the portable tape re-
corders around with us and although they don't
have quite the quality I would like them to have,
they are sure a heck of a lot better than nothing.
And - and some of them are working better than
f others.

223 23 39 43 PLT Garments, I like the clothes okay. I normally


don't wear a T-shirt except when l'm sleeping. I
just throw - throw on the long-sleeve Jacket over
my bare skin and I like the trousers okay, too.
My left trouser pocket that keeps the checklist in,
this leg is ripped down the side so that it doesn't
hold stuff very well but the pair I get next week
may be better. You need a place to keep a flash-
light in the trousers but there isn't one there.
It's not required, but it would have been nice if
we'd have had one put in there. Lose the scissors
a lot. They seem to keep coming out all of the
time, so I took them out of the scissors' pocket,
put them in one of the other pockets. The scissors'
pocket doesn't do the job for the scissors.

223 23 40 42 PLT Underwear. Underwear is underwear. It works okay,


works fine. I got some Jockey shorts, some boxer
shorts; I wear either one. And socks are fine, too.
I haven't tried the gloves or any of that stuff
yet.
m

722 -_

223 23 41 Ol PLT Light baffle in my compartment baffles the light


all right but also baffles the a_r. It stays up
flush most of the time and doesn't let much
circulation through, so I had to sleep with the
sleep compartment privacy curtain opened. And
every once in a while I pull do_T_ on that baffle
to get more holes and more air to go through there
but it - it manages to stick itself back up almost
closed again. So it's a good light baffle, but it
ain't much of a good air passer.

223 23 41 29 PLT Privacy curtain works okay in my sleep compartment.


I got no complaints about it at all. I usually
sleep with it halfway open so I can get some ven-
tilation. So, that kind of wraps up subjective
evaluation guide number I. lenjoyed talking with
you, Bob. If I think of anything else in these
areas, I'ii let you know. One other thing comes
to mind is this, up in the MDA there's no place
to throw trash. There is no trash bag area - trash
bag points. That'd be a nice thfing to have up
there. I think that - what I always do is up there
I wind up throwing everything in my pocket and I
unload it when I get down here. Another nice
thing - nice thing to have there would be to have
some tissues so you can blow yo_" nose and wipe
things and that kind of thing. But there ain't
any of those up there either. So there's a de-
ficiency in the habitability area in the - in
the MDA in that respect. 0therwflse, the MDA seems
to work pretty good. One thing i mentioned the
other night and it bugs me, is that VTR switch,
the only one in the whole spacecraft's clear up
there and when you want to do - do a VTR, why you
got to go clear up there to turn the switch on and
off, and you waste time and tape by doing that,
make a lot of trips between the experiment com-
partment and VTR _ust to get the rascal going.
It would be nice to have a switch down here for
that purpose. I guess that is _[i I got to say
right now, Bob. Thanks a lot. Good night.

223 23 43 17 PLT Oh, by the way, keep your left arm straight and
your head down.

###
F- DAY 224 (AM) 723

224 01 31 19 SPT Okay, this is the SPT briefing - debriefing the


last ATM pass Just finished at 01:30. First of
all I needed to do a building block l, which it
starts at a ROLL of 10,800 chip A. I had already
took the building block before I noticed that I
was really at minus 5400 instead of 10,800, and
I'd already taken the 82 Alfa exposure. So at
that point, I decided that it was better for me
to skip the J0P ... to skip the ... and continue.
And so I did the first of the three exposures on
54. I did the first MIRROR AUTO RASTER at
1200 GRATING position and 33 [?] SCAN, and the
MIRROR AUTO RASTER for 55, all at the roll of
minus 5400. And the standard has been continuous
for 52, and the PATROL, NORMAL, LONG, and SHORT
for 56. Then rolled back to minus 5hO0_ did not
repeat the 82A exposures. Although it's not the
optimum roll that I had then, I think it - at
least I hope that it'll be good enough to be
useful. And i then completed the building block -
chip A of building block 1 at that time. Next
I have the -
f .

225 01 32 58 SPT Next I have the JOP 2C, step 4 to perform out there
above active region 85. And I did go about 30 arc
seconds off the limb. It looked to be a very
good position. And went through that Just about
as planned.

224 01 3h 02 SPT I guess - I believe that was all, as planned on


chip A of building block 36. And then, in the
last couple of minutes, I threw back on the disk
to stop on active region 85, and I made that
spot - essentially, in mode STOP and collected
the data for building block 7. Now there's one
other thing that I wanted to - Oh, yes, one
other thing that I wanted to mention about this
last pass. When I rolled around to 10,800, I
stopped the counter on 10,800 and looked away,
and it had not yet stopped rolling. So I did
roll about 55 arc minutes on beyond to 10,745,
which was a mistake I didn't catch until I had
already started photographing. So I, of course,
left it there; and I apologize for being a little
further off the roll than I had intended.
724

224 01 34 56 SPT Now that reminds me of something I wanted to


mention back on the limb scan.

224 01 35 34 SPT The limb scan procedure, we ran three orbits of


it. And I logged my roll up here. Just a moment,
I'll find where that log is. Yes, I had my
coordinates in a ROLL of 10,400; DOWN, minus 21;
and LEFf, minus 948. Now that DOWN, minus 21, is
a little beyond what's called out J_r on the pad,
correction, on the JOP Summary Sheet. The J0P
Summary Sheet calls for it to be within a UP/DOWN
zero plus or minus 5. I went on down to minus 21,
but then that's the point that made the white
light limb change into the reticle. And so even
though I was 15 arc seconds below --15 to 20 arc
seconds below the point that the J0P Stummary Sheet
calls, it seems to he more important to get the
SLIT at perfect ... perfect ... I can't explain
why this difference was there. Sizce we were
flying withXb-V SLIT bias in. And since there
... has been properly coaligned. It should of
been captured by ... UP/DOWN zero. But it was
not. And so that's the reason that I went on --
down a little below normal before starting the
limb again.

224 O1 36 54 SPT That's the end of the message to the ATM science
group. SPT, out.

224 01 40 20 SI_f Okay, this is the SPT with the counter readings
for the night. H-alpha is 13042, 4675, 142, 1204,
4431, and S054 is 4181.

224 01 40 43 SPT End of message.

224 01 56 21 CDR Okay, we got to record here at time sync 2. We


got to go 192 MODE, CHECK and voice record D-6.
D-6 is a mere 15.6 percent, which is well within
limits; so that's it.

224 02 09 22 CDR Okay, Houston. I'm on RECORD now. I'm going


to go through and read all the monitor readings
to you. Two of them look like they're a little
bit out of place and one of them is D - These
three are supposed to be 53 to 83 _d it's
really about 85. That doesn't sound like the

world's biggest deal. Nevertheless, that is


where it is. And monitor D -

whistled down to the locker and got a new one
and put it in. His film in his DAC ran out so
he got another one. He got 02, I believe.

PLT Right.

224 02 36 ll PLT Okay, that weather over Thailand wasn't much


good. I found a couple of small holes and just
zoomed in and took some data and the DAC was on.
I hope you can find them. I couldn't distinguish
whether or not they had crop land, the weather
was so bad, but we did our best.

224 02 36 31 CC Okay, Jack.

224 02 47 38 PLT It says here to continue operation degraded mode.


Alignment cannot be performed if we have the same
trouble again. We'll see. Maybe the motor wasn't
strong enough to come up and hit the microswitch
hard enough or something.

224 02 47 55 CC Verify you have been able to point all right,


Jack?

224 02 47 59 PLT Yes. Pointing's been very good, Story, except on

CC Roger. Reading you loud and clear.

CDR Okay, good. I've got to record - a little item


here known as D-6. D-6 is exactly 57 percent,
f 57 percent,which is within limits.

CC And, Skylab; Houston. We sent you up a message


this morning concerning the S191 door, and we've
thought about that a little more. And so at the
completion of the - lunar cal, we want to leave
the door open instead of closing it as step 3
calls for there in the little pad we sent you.

CDR Outstanding idea; we're with you. Hope it makes


it open this time.

224 lh 19 19 CDR Very good. Let's get the window out of there.

PLT This window is coming off. This - Let's even


open the door this time. Big door coming open.
There's a big Moon right out there. I can do
the lunar cal right now. It's a nice full Moon
out there, Houston. It's a beauty! Right in
the window!

CC I'll bet that looks pretty through that big


picture window there.

224 14 19 58 CDR It does. It's a beauty! Nice planet right next


to it. I wonder which one that is? Bright
740 --"

enough to be Venus or Mars. It's a bright one.


Maybe somebody knows down there. They'll get
positional data when they shoot EEEP on both of
these.

224 14 20 30 CDR I never had realized it, Hank, until I got up


here, but all night, since we're almost in solar
inertial, we've had dumping which isn't much.
You end up with the same stars out the window.
So you have two or three bright planets out
there, and they're Just always in the same place
in the window. They change slowly, but not too
slowly. I mean not too fast. Okay, that's done
Jack.

224 14 20 53 CDR See what's next. I think it's unlatch, open 190
window cover and rotate 190 to operating position
and install the pins.

PLT Okay.

224 14 29 58 CDR ... Jack. Check all readings. I'll read you all

224 15 06 42 PLT Not yet.

CC And before this pass is over, we'd like to give you


some DAS codes so that you can take care of this if
it occurs again. We're going to be almost an
hour here LOS after Vanguard.

CDR Okay, wonder how we'll know if _t occurs? On


their t alkback ?

SPT Just a minute, Hank, I'll be through.

224 15 07 06 CDR Has to stop in a few seconds.

down for - from this interim period, where we
are right now to where we start the lunar cal.
756

PLT We go right to page 6-3.

CDR That's right. ,

224 15 08 49 CC Affirmative. And, Owen, I've got those numbers now.

We ain't got time now.

CDR All right.

PLT Then I want to review what we need to do.

224 15 i0 28 CDR I disabled 190 FMC. So that's good.

22h 15 i0 3h CDR P27, we go to ATT HOLD.

CC ***lab, Houston. Awhile ago when we said there


were no power changes - There aren't any changes
other than what's in your pad. There is one
thing there, I think, on the S190 FMC circuit
breaker.

CDR Okay.

CC It's in the pad.

CDR Okay, we got that and pulled it Just a second ago.


So it's disabled at the moment.

224 15 l0 57 CC SPT, did you copy the numbers?

SPT We go to SI.

224 15 ll 02 CDR MARK.

PLT Takes care of that maneuver pad, Owen, you got

CDR They want to know if you rec - if you got the


numbers, 0. ?

PLT Huh?

224 15 ll 16 SPT Hank, I copied 52015 and 50034; is that what


you mean ?

224 15 ll 21 CC That's affirmative and we reset your AI.ERT light,


so that should be a cue that the thing has
malfunctioned again.

224 15 3_1 29 SPT Ths.nk you.

SPT Comes one.

CDR Could be.

SPT ...
758

CDR We're going to make two cal maneuvers today,


Houston, instead of one? We're trying to psych
it out here.

224 15 ii 47 PLT That's news to the kid.

224 15 Ii 50 CDR That's what the Big O. says, and he ain't wrong
much.

PLT That' s right.

CDR Needless to say.

PLT Change 190 filters and apertures as required by


EREP, CAL VTS pad remarks.

224 15 12 i0 CDR Nice window. We ought to put one in the


spacecraft sometime. Okay, can unscrew any of
them of interest to you? Which ones are going
to come off?

PLT Now let's see here - Let me do it. Yes. Looks


like post remarks. Begin 190 fi:Lter change
from above sequence. Whoops, waJ.t a minute. We
don't change them yet.

CDR We got the CC, DD, EE, FF, BB, AJ_.

224 15 12 46 PLT Well, you don't change them, according to that.


We change them after the - after I do my seven-
point sequence.

CDR All right. In that case that's where we'll change


them. Know where the ones are we want changed to?

PLT Yes, they 're all right in here.

224 15 13 06 SPT You still there, Hank?

CDR Which ones are you going to chan_ and I'ii make
sure they're loose here.

PLT Look like they all - _.]] are going to be changed.


Every one of them.

CDR FF, O0 --
159

224 15 13 19 PLT Might not want to loosen them though, because


you're probably going to take some pictures of
them, aren't you?

224 15 13 23 CDR I know it. I'm just going to make sure they're
not Jammmed on there.

PLT Okay.

224 15 13 27 CDR They're all real loose anyhow.

PLT Kind of sticky sometimes.

CDR That's what I wanted to prevent - last-minute


stickiness. That's done. Put it back down
again if you're finished.

224 15 13 40 CC Hey, Houston. We're about 1 minute from LOS.


Goldstone'll be coming up at 16:17 - -

f PLT Okay.

224 15 13 45 CC - - and also might point out there's a possibility


of you requiring the contingency maneuver and
also a possibility of a CMG SAT during the cal.

PLT Okay, Hank, I want you to verify one thing. It


appears from _ pad remarks here that we don't
require a S190 filter change at this point,
but we will after the seven-point sequence.
That right?

224 15 14 ll CC Affirmative.

SPT Hank, I would also like to confirm that we're


actually doing two cal maueuvers instead of one,
as shown on page 6-2 of the EEEP checklist. It's
like it is in the ATM Systems Checklist on page
2-14 with cal maneuvers plus a possible contingency.

CC ...

SPT Say again, Hank? We didn't hear you.

CC ... both maneuvers are required to do - in the


checklist to do the cal.
760

224 15 14 45 SPT Okay. 6-2 only shows one, I believe; but anyway,
we got them both.

224 15 14 49 CC They're called maneuvers i and 2.

CDR Let me look at it - -

PLT Now we do ans - Let's see. We do an offset


maneuver and then we do a scan maneuver.

CDR That's right.

PLT Okay? So it's - Two's nominal.

CDR Let 's see.

224 15 15 04 PLT Offset maneuver, scan, and Sl. Should be

CDR Yes.

SPT *** do calmaneuver


one?

CDR That 's it.

PLT That first one's an offset maneuver.

224 15 15 13 CDR That gets you to the place, and at the right
time you do this one and then you go back to SI,
so that's the scan across. Everything's copaced
[sic]. You needing any more suggestions, Big 0.?

PLT He says, "No, mind your own business."

CDR Contingency maneuver.

224 15 15 34 CDR Yes, here you go. Going to go here - we're


going to go here, and then g.o- maneuvers - at
certain times. We got to be on time because I
just operate this thing on time or I don't
know what we're doing. Okay', I'm going to go
turn off our RECORD for -

224 15 29 08 CDR Jack, l'm going to give all these numbers again
because they probably might want them.

224 15 29 15 CDR 36, EREP, START. Well, it "always does in maneuvers.


Whenever we finally stabilize, the thing to do is _
to put it in, I guess.
761 _

CDR Why didn't we get a light?

CDR I don 't know.

224 15 29 59 PLT Not at 10. We don't start operating until about


36.

CDR Fasten that there. I can go ahead and do it.


Okay, I 'm going to give you all the recordings,
Houston. Here they come. A-2, 59 percent;

CDR i0 seconds, each point.

PLT S_ys 30 right there. Did you change that to lO?

SPT ...

224 15 44 46 CDR I have i0 in my book and 30 in yours. I don't

224 15 44 58 CDR There you go. Can't gripe about that.

PLT Okay?

224 15 45 06 CDR No, out of time.

PLT Just l0 seconds to point 1.

224 15 45 42 CDR Got plenty of time to do your seven. 140. That's


a little over 2 minutes. That's good.

224 15 45 53 PLT When do you turn 191 off?

224 15 45 55 CDR Way down here.

PLT Okay, we're Just going to give them 30 seconds


now.

224 15 45 59 CDR Wait a minute. We go to VTS CAL at 50:10, which


is 4 minutes from now, so be careful.

224 15 46 I0 PLT Okay -

224 15 46 ii PLT MARK. At 30 seconds point 2; point 3, right beside


the limb.

CDR Here -

PLT Thank you.

224 15 46 19 CDR Later on the VTS CAL, maybe.


768

224 15 46 20 PLT Yes, I think so.

224 15 46 26 CDR Of course, it may interfere with some other data.


I always worry about that.

224 15 46 39 SPT i0 seconds, plus 2 will get what you want.

224 15 46 45 PLT Okay-

224 15 46 46 PLT MARK. There is 30 seconds at point 3, and going


to the center of the Moon now. Point 4 - yes -
point 4. Right in the middle. There we are.
Taking data. Got the button down.

224 15 47 ll CDR Station 1 at 47:10.

224 15 47 16 CDR 2 whole minutes. Take advantage of it, Jack.

224 15 47 21 PLT Okay, that's the point, sixth point. See that
limb. Starting on it.

224 15 47 35 PLT Don't tell - don't turn 191 off until I give you
the word, in AUTO CAL at least, will you?

224 15 47 39 CDR Okeydoke.

224 15 47 40 PLT We don't need a - one - this is the end of


the thing for 191, so it doesn't matter if we
delay the AUTO CAL.

224 15 47 45 CDR Understand. I just don't want it to interfere


with something else we got going.

224 15 47 48 PLT It won't.

224 15 47 49 CDR Shouldn't have to.

224 15 47 50 PLT It won't.

CDR If we do 30 seconds each, we'll have it made.

224 15 47 54 PLT I got to get some mare, too.

CDR Some what?

PLT Okay - mare - That's the end point 4, or point 5


rather. Point 6 coming up just off the limb.
769

224 15 48 04 PLT MARK. We're taking data Just off the limb.

PLT Point 6. I'm going to go down to 7 after this.

224 15 48 28 CDR Think of the rate gyro, Big O.

SPT Okay.

224 15 48 35 PLT Something's causing this thing to shake, what-


ever it is. I don't like it.

CDR It may be me. Did it stop.

224 15 48 41 PLT I don't know now, I've moved off it. But it was
banging. Okay, now we're taking data at point 7.
Looks - 7 down. Turns out that after the maneuver,
the Moon was centered in the VTS at about 2 DOWN
and zero LEFT/RIGHT. Therefore I, took my first
point at 3 gimbal angles up and my seventh point
at 7 gimbal angles down which is 5 degrees either
_- side of the limb. But I find that VTS at the
limb - at either limb, after the maneuver, the
UP/DOWN still read DOWN 2. That's where point 1
is going to be at and was at UP, 3, point 7 and
DOWN 7.

224 15 49 36 CDR l'd like to do an AUTO CAL in a few minutes.

224 15 49 39 PLT Well, I'ii give you time to do that. Don't worry.

224 15 49 41 CDR At 50:10o

224 15 49 43 PLT How about if I give it to you in i minute?

224 15 49 46 CDR Okay. It should be coming off - -

224 15 49 47 PLT Are you taking data on a uniform msme area?

224 15 49 51 CDR Should come off in 20 seconds.

PLT It doesn't matter, A1.

224 15 49 54 CDR Okeydoke. .row interfere with any of these others,


shouldn't bother me.

224 15 50 00 PLT How can it? Can't interfere.

224 15 50 03 CDR I don't know. I don't know everything that goes


on inside this box.
770 ._..

224 15 50 08 PLT No, it doesn't.

CDR Okay.

CDR Now's when we get it. We are not doing the VTS
AUTO CAL at 50:10. We're going to do it in a few
minutes when Jack gets finished doing some mare
sighting per request. Believe that will have no
effect whatsoever on the data.

224 15 50 30 PLT Okay, we took 30 seconds of data at each of the


seven lunar cal points, and rather than giving
you Just two uniform mare areas, I'm giving you
four, at least lO seconds each. We're finishing
up the fourth mare area at this time.

224 15 50 54 SPT Okay let's see.

PLT You want to do a AUTO CAL, right?

224 15 50 56 SPT You bet.

224 15 50 57 PLT MARK. 191, AUTO CAL.

CDR - - ... AUTO CAL at 50:57. I bet you we did it


47 seconds after the time.

224 15 51 06 PLT Okay, it's getting in now.

224 15 51 07 CDR Don't think that's critical.

224 15 51 08 PLT We're in VTS operation. *** change and our aperture
change when seven-point sequence is complete.
And I do that. Right now - whoops! - 190, OFF.

224 15 51 25 CDR I'll turn the power off.

224 15 51 27 PLT Oh, wait a minute. You're not going to take


pictures of it?

224 15 51 28 CDR No.

224 15 51 29 PLT Okay. Okay. When do you get 190 on again, Al?

224 15 51 42 CDR 15:02.

PLT Oh, I got a lot of time. That went very well,


I 'd say.
771 ,_

224 15 51 59 PLT Nothing to this EREP business.

224 15 52 01 SPT Okay, for information on the frames on the ETC,


I've ended it up with a frame count of 142. That
was nine single exposures plus the three frames
at the end to run a little tape by. And also,
prior to changing shutter speed, I went to
STANDBY as per decal. It was not on the pad.
It looks to me like there should have a step in
there to go to STANDBY before changing shutter
speed.

224 15 52 25 PLT Camera station i, f/8; camera station 2, f/8;


camera station 3, 9.5; camera station 4, 4.8.

224 18 14 19 CDR This is for the ATM folks, CDR, on that long ex-
posure for 82B; the 15-minute exposure. I went
to AUTO in 14 minutes and 47 seconds - 46 seconds.
So it wasn't a 15-minute exposure; it was a 14-
minute and 46-second exposure.

224 18 14 44 CDR Sorry about that.

224 18 32 ii CDR Okay, this is to the folks in the backroom on


the ATM. l'm unable to finish block A because
- chip A of building block 36, because we're
just running out of time here. Because of that
ACS malf, we started late. Now what l'm going
to do is shut her down here. We're not going
to take any more data because we"re past the
400 kilometers time. When we cor_ up tomorrow
we're going to pick up right where we left off.
The spec that I missed on building block 36 was,
I did not get the - the PATROL, SHORT; nor the
PATROL, NORMAL in ... A. I didn't think to get
the time exposure, nor the MIRROR AUTO RASTER,
or the second 54. So that's kind of where we
left off. In other words, we just got a small
part of - of building block 36.

224 18 33 50 CDR CDR again• Of course this means that it's


probable that I will not be able to finish
this alignment that's during the bottom of

224 20 16 45 'SPT Okay, SPT recording a little information rela-


tive to M092/93 run. I thought l'd just check
the blood pressure, ESS measurement, manually
during the 92 run. I put it in again on the
171 run whenever we get there, but just for today,
while Jack was still at zero DELTA-P, I manually
measured 135 over 70 while the ESS was giving 123
over 65 .... even at 50 millimeters, I manually
measured 108 over 68, while the ESS gave 93 over
65. So l'm a little inclined to think that the
ESS may be measuring, particularly in SYSTOLIC,
a little too high and perhaps a little bit DI-
ASTOLIC as well. But perhaps as much as i0 milli-
meters too high on the SYSTOLIC. Now that's re-
lative to 92/93.

I'm un - unable to see the active region. Your
pointing coordinates are given on the pad; how-
ever, I've been able to, in H-alpha l, detect a
very interesting and prominent prominence, you
might say. And so what I've done is to point
H-alpha 1 about 85 arc seconds above that prom-
inence, and H-alpha 2 is pointed right at it.
And my pointing coordinates at this time are UP,
plus 95; and _, minus 977. The ROLL is 10462

rest period had been completed at the end of that,
so I turned the equipment off momentarily. The
CDR reported to me that I turned it off early,
which I had not noticed. So I don't know what
this does to your software program, but l've
just turned it back on again, _id I'ii give
you another - I'Ii give you another 3 or 4 minutes
here of just resting data, and see if that makes
your software program accept it any more readily.

regarding ATM operations. I completed the pad
which starts at 00:26 a couple of revs early.
And here's what happened on the _nini-MIRROR AUTO
RASTERS. Detector 5 tripped off the line
sometime during the mini-AUTO RASTER. And I
didn't notice when it did because I was too busy
looking at the - COUNTERS 2 and 3. And so what
I did was - to - at that time I was at line 12
when I noticed that. So what I _[id was turn on
detector 5 and I started it all over on the mini-
MIRROR AUTO RASTER. So it was done all over
again without the use of detector 5. And on
line 12 I got - forgot what direction I was going
and I think I covered some of the ground twice
but I did get all of the - the l_ttle 1 arc-
second steps in. There's one thing about slowing
this thing 1 arc second. It turns out that I
started at minus 947 LE_/RIGHT. That's where
the detector's talkback - 0-ORDE_ taTkback went
from barber pole to gray. So in slewing to the
right, 1 arc-second Jump, it turns out that there
is no 946. I tried for 5 minutes to get it, and
I couldn't get it, and I never got it any time
thereafter in the whole two mini-MIRROR AUTO
RASTERS. So it Jumped between 9L7 and 9_5. So
we got that over and done.

224 23 19 28 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on Channel A with


another debrief of the past ATM run. I Just ran
the 00:26 fast, a little ahead of schedule and
in my debrief I got cut off sometime in there
by ground dump, so I got to repeat it all. I
don't know how much of it you got, but here it
goes again. Regarding the mini-auto rasters on
S055. Sometime during that period of time, the
number 5 detector cut everything off. And while
concentrating on COUNTERS 2 and 3, I didn't
notice it. I didn't notice it until I got down
to line 12. So what I did was I went back and
did the whole darn thing again. And this time
_- it was all done with detector5 off. So we
don't have that one on the mini-auto raster. I
did that all the way down to line 12, and some-
where on line 12, I got going the wrong way and
1 arc second jumped on the MPC. So I did com-
plete the whole line, however, there might be
some redundant information there.

224 23 20 44 PLT One other thing about the 1 arc second jump, the
MIRROR AUTO ta]kback went from barber pole to
gray at a minus 947 arc seconds, LEF2/RIGHT. It
turns out that going to the right from there,
that there's no way to get a 946. I tried for
5 minutes and never got it. And every other pass
I made through that way in several mini-auto
rasters, I never got it in either. It always
Jumps from 947 to 945 and 945 to 947. Additional
work to do on this rev was to get the J0P 2C,
step l, building block 2, which was omitted
from the pass before. So that's been done. So
far the only thing we got to make up is the -
... calibration on 82B, 2-minute and 40-second
exposure only. And the alignment 55 offset to
limb - coalign on the rev before.

we're over a very overcast cloud because I see
nothing but ... (cough). Sky color a little
lighter. No meteors in sight.

225 01 18 20 CDR No luck. Now we got some scattered clouds ...


You can say this much, right as of now we see
no meteors.

225 01 19 37 CDR I think we just passed off the --or maybe it's
clear and we're looking _down at lights on the
Earth. I do believe that's what' s occurring.
I believe we're passing over lights from the
Earth at the moment. That doesn't foul up your
system. We were over some nice clouds, but now
we must be in a clear area with lights on the
ground. Anyhow, there's - could be stars. I don't
know.

224 01 20 ll CDR No, there's - they're cities. There's one little -


kind of little town going by. Looks like a
little bug through here. And it's Just flying
by. And there was a flash. I don't know whether
it's of those flashes like that's in the eye up
here. You see it or whether it was Just meteorite
that I was seeing going in from the back end.
That's the only dynsE_c event I've see other
than the picture continually moving across the
viewfinder.

225 01 21 13 CDR Coming up on our 270 point. I'll give a mark.

224 Ol 21 25 CDR Stand by -

225 01 21 27 CDR MARK. Okay, we've got one more. It's 180 seconds

225 Ol 21 57 CDR 01:23 is sunrise. 01:23 - whicln is about a


minute from now. l'm going to make this exposure
less than 180, because there's no way. With
the sunrise 01:23, this is - this is going to have
to be slightly less than that. So l'm going to
try to do this. I'm going to _ke this a minute __
and - or less. You Just can't 3tand to have sun-
789

rise ... suspect you are more well aware than I


am. I'm going to m_e this a minute and 15-second
exposure. In other words, it's going to be a
90-second - 75-second exposure.

225 01 22 51 CDR Stand by. Stand by.

225 01 22 56 CDR MARK. Okay. I Just gave you the last one,
instead of 180, I gave you a 90-second exposure.
Everything else on the whole pad was correct. Now
I'm going to look and see when the Sun comes up.
Because it was 01:23 then.

225 01 23 31 CDR Might have gotten around away from it, but no way.
The end of it. Okay, that last one, by the way
was on frame number 047. That completes it. I'm
going to bring in the machinery now. Locks,
extension that way .... Huhl I think this time
I'ii Just go ahead and make these zero, zero before
I bring them in. See if they might - That was it,

225 02 25 54 PLT Good evening, space fans. This is Jack on


channel A. The subject is ATM. We're winding
up here the final pass of the day. And here
are the H-alpha frames - here are the frame
counts at the conclusion of day 224. H-alpha is
11655; S056 is 4478; S082A is 137; S082B is
ll21; S052 is 4102; S054 is 3960. Now in the last
pass we came off pretty much as advertised, kept
ahead of the game a little bit all the way, in
fact. We had no problem with J0P 6, except that
during the MIRROR AUTO RASTER, detector 5 wanted
to keep coming off all the time and so we got a
few interrupts on S055. I got tired of having
it interrupt, so I turned it off. Later on I
turned it back on and it worked pretty well for
most of the time after that. It seems as though
after it gets warmed up awhile, why, it wants
to cut out and if you turn it off awhile and let
- it cool down a little or something- rest - why,
it'll do better later. So some of the S055 stuff
790

might be interrupted and some of it doesn't have


detector 5 on because it gets to be a nuisance
at times. We're watching it as closely as we can
to make sure that we get all the data we can -
possibly can.

225 02 27 30 PLT Now one additional thing we did was to pick up


shopping list item number 14 with S082B. On
filament 28, I took three of the coded exposures
in the LONG WAVELENGTH that could possibly be
taken and in the quiet region right next to it,
where we did our step 3, why I a13o took three
very short exposure in the LONG _VELENGTH on
S082B. So we picked up our shopping list item 14.
That pretty much winds up the day. We got
her powered down now for unattended ops and we'll
see you in the morning. Good night.

225 02 38 59 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A.


The subject is M509. Battery charge on 7 was

225 13 03 i0 SPT Okay, this is the SP - SPT, on ch_mnel A, discus-


sing the attempt to observe the Nishino-Shima
791

Volcano yesterday afternoon. Now we had all the


cameras at the MDA window, and I was observing
out the MDA window opposite the ATM panel. There
are really two over there - the window which
observes the right-hand side of the traj -
trajectory. It observes mostly out to the right
of our path when we look forward, down the direc-
tion of travel, off to the right. A1, for the
latter part, was looking out the left part of
the window. Now there was extensive cloud
coverage over most of that area; large buildups,
although there were some breaks in it. I
personally could see nothing that I could
identify as a volcano.

225 13 04 03 SPT There were a couple of potential possibilities.


One was a rather large vertical cumulonimbus top,
it looked like, which I thought could conceivably
be generated by the heat of a volcano. So I
took a picture of this large buildup. It was more
or less like a mushroom-shaped cloud building up
vertically. But there was no indicationof any
volcano beneath it. Off on the other side, A1
did mention, on real-time down-link, the possi-
bility of a couple of other things. One was a
very long, thin line which sort of ended up in
a cloud as if it had been the stream downwind
from - steam or something like that; but my own
view was there was really no indication that it
was really a volcano. There was nothing visible
in the - in the water and there was no darker-
colored smoke that was visible.

225 13 05 04 SPT So it's not at all clear that we saw anything,


although we did take a few pictures of potential
locations. And that's about all we have to report
at this time. I would be interested in knowing
if this is a brand new volcano or one that has
been active for some time in the past. This is
the SPT of - with information to those - whoever
it was, interested in transient events and who
sent us up this pad about the observation of the
vo ic ano.

and Lou Ramon. We're currently on 7-i. Okay,
release the paddle locking pin, that's me. It
must be out of this thing. That ain't that thing.
Paddle locking pin? Pull release lever inboard
to unlock ASMU. Okay, undock by pulling hand -
okay - I put the RECEIVER to NORM. Nope, wait
a minute, l'm - okay. Okay, he's; clear of the
donning station. Maneuvering to the middle of
the workshop.

225 14 30 05 PLT Do I have to holler mark when you say data mark?

225 14 30 09 PLT MARK. He gave a data mark. Can't hear, you got
to speak up.

PLT Okay, he's making a left turn. He's not completely


in a horizontal plane, he's a little bit - roll
right. A little - a little hit roll right as he
yaws to the left.

PLT Okay, he's made a 180-degree yaw. He is -


because of - he is pitched up a little hit now,
and he has rolled to the left a little bit. He's
pitching up, there he goes.

225 14 30 58 PLT You're all clear, AI. You're right in the middle.
There, he' s pitching up, very slowly.

225 14 31 21 CDR DATA MARK.

225 14 31 22 PLT Okay, DATA MARK. He's facing the workshop hatch
at this time, and he is rolling - or yawing to
his right; yawing to his right. Looks like a
nice maneuver. He's staying right in the
middle of the workshop.

225 14 31 48 PLT DATA MARK. Okay, he's stabilized in a 90-degree


right yaw and now he is rolling to his left.
Looks like a nice smooth roll.

PLT We have not fired a single thruster at this


point, still working on the CMGs purely, no need
for any thruster firing. Okay, he's got his
90-degree left roll complete. Appears to be _
793

translating ever so slightly down and forward.


Now he's cow,handing some translation. Twisting
up and to the right, a little bit yaw right.
Now he's backing up more aft thrust, he's coming
back nicely. Up and down is zeroed. Okay, he's
stopping his aft translation - negative.

225 14 33 17 PLT Okay, plus X. Translating nicely forward. Stop-


ping it with a few short bursts with the thrusters.
Seems to be nicely stopped and stabilized. Now
he's translating to the right, holding attitude
nicely. Attitude is holding well. Now he's
stopping his translation to the right.

225 14 33 46 PLT MARK. Up, he's going up. Nice pure ro - nice
pure translation upward. Now he's Just stopping
it. His attitude is stabilized very nicely. He's
stabilized his attit -his translation. He's
blowing things off his -

PLT Going to the rate gyro mode. Blowing things off


the - screen with the thrusters. Say again?

PLT Coming back to the center of the workshop now.


Drifting smoothly _nd floating very freely. Very
good attitude control. Firing a few short bursts.
What mode are you in, Al?

CDR ...

225 14 34 45 PLT You Just went into the rate gyro mode, must
have been the reason for the few short bursts.
There's lots of - small pieces of debris float-
ing around like dust-sized particles that have
been blown off the - workshop screen. Okay,
he's in the rate gyro mode, stabilizing his
attitude very nicely, he's drifting backward.

CDR ...

225 14 35 35 PLT Okay, what are you going to do now, direct?

PLT Okay. He's still in the rate gyro mode. He's


yawing to the left, firing a few short bursts.
Looks like he's rolled right Just a sukoshi as
he yaws to his left a few short bursts to ma_n-
_'- tain attitude. In the rate gyro mode. Okay,
now he's stopping his yaw to the right.

225 14 36 29 PLT (Tone) Uh-oh. (Tone) I got to take time out,


A1. (Tone) What is that, 0.? We got a MASTER
ALARM.

SPT Okay, it's a CLUSTER ALARM in the CSM.

PLT Uh-oh. We got a MASTER _ALARM in the CSM; we're


going to go into a hold here for a while.

225 14 41 24 PLT Okay, 509 fans, I'm back in .... package B temp
off-scale low. Same problem we had before.

CDR I finished all the - rate gyros ...

225 14 41 44 PLT Okay, he's finished all the basic maneuvers and
rate gyros, - he's - and then .o. he's going to -
he's going to the DIRECT now. ()kay, he's in the
DIRECT MODE. He's yawing left in DIRECT. He's
in the middle of the workshop, got nice rate
going. He's got a little bit of translation
downward but not much. And a l_ttle bit of yaw --
to the right - or roll to the right; a little
roll to the right, but not bad. He may have
started that way, I don't know. Okay, he's
stopped his yaw to the left. He's now pitching
up. You got - you got room.

225 14 43 40 PLT The debris is flying all over the workshop. He's
pitching up. Looks llke he might have a little
bit of yaw to the right in there. He continues
to yaw to the right. Here's a 90-degree pitch
with about a 30-degree right yaw. He's stabiliz-
ing it now. Now he's going to roll right.
Correction, he's yawing right. He has a trans-
lation going. His yaw right looks very clean,
however. Now he's stopping his yaw right, he's
still with the down translation. Okay, he's
going to roll to the left now.

225 14 44 16 PLT Looks like a pretty clean roll to the left.


Although his position in the worshop has changed
somewhat. It's lower or closer to the deck than
it had been earlier. One good thing - about 50-
M509 is it's helped us to locate a cue card that
has been missing for 4 days. 0oh, he Just blasted
me. (Whistle) Okay. He's trszlslating forward.
His attitude is upright in the workshop. Somehow - -_
795

now he's translating upward. His attitude is


pretty much vertical. Now he's stopped up
translation, once again is near the center of the
workshop. Hers ... - going around and direct,
his attitude is stable now. He is translating
to the right. Looks fair - like a pretty clean
translation to the right, although it may have
had a little bit of pitch in it. Now he's
stopped his translation to the right, got a
little roll - little right roll going, not bad.

225 14 45 55 PLT Okay. He's - what attitude - what mode are you
in, Al? Okay, he's in the rate gyro mode now,
space fans. And he's translating to the banjo
area. There he goes up to the banjo.

PLT Okay. Slowly translating to the banjo area.

225 l_ h7 h6 PLT Okay. Okay, now he's in DIRECT MODE translating


to the donning station. We Just took a picture
of them, face on, so that we can - with a Nikon -
so-that we can use orientation on the machine.
Okay, he's going directly towards the donning
station.

225 14 48 36 PLT Gave you a DATA MARK. Okay he's at the donning
station. He's stabilizing his translation and
rotation. He's stabilized in front of the
donning station. And accuracy to the donning
station was very good.

CDR ...

225 14 49 18 PLT Are you going into baaeline maneuvers now? I


ought to check your pressure. Let me put this
camera up. Baseline maneuvers requires about
600 pounds starting with the transfer maneuver,
I guess. Okay, A1, you've got 1500 pounds.
So - -

CDR •••

PLT Say again.

CDR ...
796

225 14 49 59 PLT Okay. A1 is showing ll00 psi on his gage on the


left arm rest, and the gage on the PSS is showing
to 1500 psi.

CDR ...

PLT And A1 points out that with the weight on his


back, it's easy to guide himself around and move
himself around with his hands, _th no problem,
when he grabs on to something. Okay, he's facing
the donning station at this time, ready, I believe,
to proceed into the baseline mszeuvers. I -
Wait a minute before you do that. I got to get
the ID-2 here. Okay, we're in ]D-2. And you're
going to rate gyro, right?

CDR ...

225 14 51 02 PLT Take this TV up in the - up in the hatch area


and then shine it down on A1 with the VTR going.
That's all, okay. Yes, maybe it would be better.

SPT ...

PLT Yes, plus you've got the - yes, it - you could -


we could turn off some of those lights if its
objectionable. Yes, I'll hold the . .. VTR if
you want.

CDR ...

225 14 51 44 PLT Okay, he's trans - translating up to the banjo


now. He made a nice direct translation. His
attitude is very stable.

225 14 52 23 PLT I think if you do it right back here, 0., you're


going to do it as good as anything. I'll go
put that one light off for you. Maybe that one,
too. Okay, he's now going to place himself down
there - he's even with the FMU-2. Yes, we've got
the VTR going, A1.

225 14 53 43 PLT Yes, we're getting a few lights off, so we can


get some TV. Al's down at FMU-2 doing his thing.
The kid's up here retrieving DAC cable and I don't
know what all. Okay. Now he's translating to
his - another location. _
797

PLT The observer's down here trying to get sq,,a_ed


away and get some pictures - so forth.

225 14 5_ 35 PLT Now, he's going to fly around those ring lockers.
(Whistling) He's translating over to D-404 at
this time. That light might be kind of bad, 0.
Okay, he's facing 404. The attitude is very
stable, he's floating toward the lockers a little
bit, he's about a foot and a half way. Now he's
stopping his translation. And now he's made his
maneuver to the right to fly around to 432. He's
maintaining 6 to 8 inches from the dome lockers
with the front end of the arm rest. His attitide
is very stable, he seems to be able to translate
around it well. Looks like he's - pretty much
Just like the simulator. He's maintaining his
proximity to the dome lockers with relative ease.
His attitude is completely versatile.

f 225 14 56 02 PLT Okay, he's passing underneath the condensate tank


at this time. Underneath the condensate - main-
taining 6 to 8 inches from the dome lockers with
no apparent difficulty. He has set up a slight
rotational ring which he seems to be able, at
times to maintain as he translates without any
further rotation. Okay, he's stabilizing him-
self in front of 432 at this time. At this time
we'll get a picture.

SPT ... camera?

PLT What?

St_ ... camera.

PLT Can you look at the camera, Al? I doubt if he'll


do that. Okay, now he's turning around and
translating toward the donning station, 0.5. Yes,
we'll have him do it the next time - Next time,
as you go up the banjo, rotate to your left, A1.
So we get you full face in the TV. He's at the
donning station now stabilizing his attitude
very nicely.

225 14 57 48 PLT MARK. Wait a minute before you go. Wait, I got
_--_ to turn off both DACs. Change PSS and battery
unit. You - we going to change or no?
T98

CDR Not yet.

PLT Okay, l'm reading a i000 pound_. We have a i000


pounds, space fans, we only need 500 for the
next one. So we're going to press on without a
PSS change. What's the battery voltage?

CDR ... about 27.

225 14 58 43 PLT 27 volts on the battery, so -

CDR 28.

PLT 28 volts on the battery. So we're not going to


turn off DACs, we're going to proceed into CMG,
right? Okay, we're going to do baseline maneuver
CMG. There he goes - rotate to your left this
time, A1. Tr_islating up to the banjo area and
the CMG. He's got nice rotation where he's
going from about halfway there_ he's rotated
90 degrees. His attitude is pretty much - is - --
X-axis attitude is pretty much the same as it was.
Okay, he's coming up the banjo area. There he
is in the banjo area, space fa_is. Got a picture
of him in the banjo. Now he's ... down to the
FMU-2. Nice stable position at the banjo. He's
backing off, rotating to the left. CMG is
nice and quiet.

225 15 00 21 PLT Flying down to the FMU number ;2with no difficulty.


Stabilizing himself at the banjo or correction, at
the FMU-2 area. There he is, he's leaving FMU-2
area, translating up to D-404.

225 15 01 22 PLT You want to get different position, 0.? I'ii


turn this thing off and let - give you some more
rope.

SPT ...

PLT I'll give you some more rope if you want it.

SPT ...

PLT The only thing you got to watch is that light


right there, you might want to get down under-
neath that FMU there. Let me dole out the rope
to you, while you're watching :Lt.
799

225 15 01 50 PLT Okay, we're setting up the TV, your friend and
mine, 0wen Garriott. There he's stabilized at
it - D-404. We have his photograph at 404. Okay,
now he's translating around the dome lockers
again in CMG, maintaining 6 to 8 inches from
the locker with the leading edge of the arm rest,
or hand control. Seems to have no difficulty
whatsoever. Seems to translate fast - one dome
locker in about 6 seconds. Okay, his attitude is
very stable. He give it an occasional burst of
aft translation to stay away from the dome
locker. Maintains a very good tangential profile
as he goes around - Just maintaining at - directly
facing the dome lockers at all times. Flying now
very close - 4 to 6 inches from them. Now he's
stabilizing himself in front of D-432, probably
about h - 4 inches from the locker. Rotate to
your right, AI, as you come down. Getting some
very good VTR of this whole operation. Owen
Garriott, Cecil B. DeGarriott is working the TV
with skill and cunning.

225 15 03 54 SPT Darn thing never charged up.

CDR .••

PLT Huh?

CDR .. •

PLT (Chuckle) What I - that's what it looks like


to me. Looks like the simulator to me.

CDR ... lockers ....

SPT ... easy, huh?

CDR Huh?

SPT ... easy, huh?

PLT (Chuckle) He got - Oh, he's getting me. Got


me with a dandy right, that time.

CDR I'm going to get ...


800 _

PLT Okay, you're going to do MODE DIRECT, you need 850


psi minimum. We may have to do a changeout here.
Sorry about that, got tangled up in the - Owen's
TV cable. I say - I say we go L enough to do it,
A1.

CDR I would too.

225 15 05 05 PLT We got about 8 to 900 pounds, enough to do the


baseline maneuver once more in MODE DIRECT.

CDR You want me to do the same thing?

PLT Same thing, yes.

CDR ...

PLT Yes. Yes, maybe another be a - advantage point


would be nice. I'm ready when you - wai$ a
minute, wait a minute. Yes, I'm ready when you
are. Let's go. Okay, he's s_[tching to DIRECT
MODE. He's backing off of the donning station.
Rotating to his right, away from the TV camera.

CDR ...

225 15 05 43 PLT Okay. He wants to do it, because that's the way


he's done it before. He's got a nice rotation
going and a little translation. Right now, he's
shooting a little bit below the banjo. He's got
about half of his rotation, about halfway there.
He's going to be in attitude before he gets to
banjo, which is no problem at _ull. Now he's
stabilizing attitude. His feet are just passing
about 5 inches above the food lockers. Coming
up onto the banjo. His toes K:e about to touch
the dome lockers. Toes on dome lockers. Owen's
there getting this all on television.

225 15 06 47 PLT Okay, now he's translation dotal to the FMU


number 2 in DIRECT. Difficult for me to see what
he' s done with the controllers, therefore, it' s
difficult to remark on crosscoupling and so forth.
I think he'll have better comments on that later.
We described a few of them in the first series
of attitude maneuvers. Sequen_-e short?
801

CDR ... backpack ...

225 15 07 27 PLT Okay. A1 is commenting that the backpack is


loose on his back in roll. It's not fastened
down tightly enough because he recognizes that
if he does a roll maneuver the backpack rotates
relative to his back. And I can see that too.
I can see the backpack rotate slightly he makes
the roll into it. Stabilizing himself how at
the FMU-2 station, and we have him photographed.
All these photographs are from the rear, seems
like.

225 15 08 31 PLT He's rolling away now from the FMU-2.

CDR ...

PLT He notices that whenever he gets close to an


object, he automatically brings his feet backward.

i CDR ...

225 15 09 29 PLT Got a picture of Big O. up in the dome running


the TV. Now stabilizing himself in front of
locker 404. Seems to be a little bit more
difficulty in attitude control, and in getting
in position, than it was in the other mode. Now,
he's translating to his right around the dome
lockers.

CDR ... right .... hard. Backpack ...

PLT Okay. He's commenting that when he gave it a


good translation to the right, that it made the
backpack move such that he had to give it a left
roll. Seemed like he needed a left roll. It
seem -

CDR ...

225 15 l0 31 PLT Oh - Correction on the last, the backpack, when


he gave it a good solid right translation, the
backpack moved such that the - co,w_anded an
inadvertent left roll. He seems to be translating
with comparative ease around the dome lockers
.... maintaining6 to 8 inches. His attitude is
variable but not too far from nominal. All kinds
of debris floating around in here. Pieces of . ..,
802

junk. Junk is flying all over. Stabilizing


himself now in front of locker 432 with a little
more difficulty than before but very manage-
able, particularly in the adept hands of the
test pilot, Alan Bean.

CDR ...

225 15 ll 56 PLT I don't know what the bat change criteria is


but I will. Translation to the donning station.
We're preparing to secure the c_nera. That
terminates the baseline maneuvers. We have
about l0 Nikon photos. Okay, we turn off cameras.

PLT Where'd he put the other one? There it is. And


we're going off record for a few minutes.

225 15 33 57 PLT Okay. M509 fans_ here we are back with you again.
We got a battery and a PSS changeout. And we're
getting ready to start with crew discretionary
maneuvers. Ready? Go ahead. ?nis is -we're
in ID-3. Fly as directed - fly as desired in
DIRECT or RATE GYRO MODE. Do not go below i000
psi.

CDR ...

225 15 34 37 PLT Okay, and the major purpose - starting at the


docking station, he's going to -- to do some
translations and see what other disturbance -
disturbing effects occur. Go to minus X.
•.. Okay, he's going to start that one over
again from the docking station.

225 15 42 07 PLT Yaw - yaw left - yaw left of the ... How's
your ... Pitch down; yaw left, okay.

CDR ... I'ii take my ...

225 15 42 32 PLT What are you going to do now?

CDR ...
8O3

PLT Okay.

PLT l'm trying to find out.

PLT I don't - I don't think you're translating at


all.

CDR ... translating ... go ...

CDR Yaw ...

225 15 43 49 PLT Then you roll right to roll right.

CDR ... roll right ... I'm going to ... roll right.

PLT Your left roll.

PLT Left. Again you - have - have to yaw to give


you a right - a roll to the left.

CDR ...

PLT I - I didn't - I wasn't sure about that


translation.

CDR What, Jack?

PLT The trans - translation left, I thought gave


you something, but you said it didn't.

CDR ... something ...

225 15 45 ll PLT Hey, you didn't - you didn't - you didn't do


any roll maneuvers. Hey, A1, you didn't do any
roll attitude cross-couplings.

CDR ... switching off ....

225 15 45 42 PLT Okay, space fans, it looks like M509ers are back
on here again and - after that tape recorder
dump; we got interrupted. We're flying crew
discretionary maneuvers. A1 just made the com-
ment that pushing off of a thing with your hands
is difficult because - or it does - it produces
some rotationbecause you don't exact ... your
cg as when you push off. We've tran - -
8o4

CDR ..., Jack.

PLT Okay,

CDR ... right ... yaw left.

PLT Okay, he's - he's saying that a right roll gives


a slight yaw to the left.

CDR ... left roll ...

225 15 46 31 PLT And a left roll gives a yaw to the right. Now
pitch up gives a pretty pure rotation, and it
gives no translation. How about the pitch down,
AI, did you ever do that? A yaw left gives a
slight pitch up and a slight r_ght roll. A yaw
right gives a slight roll to the right.

CDR ... pitch up ...

225 15 47 13 PLT And the pitch down rotation is also a pure -


pure maneuver. Now translatior - translation -
We found that in translating to the right, we
got a slight yaw to the right _.nd a slight roll
to the left. Translation to the left seemed to
be a pretty pure translation. Translation up
and translation down were pure translations.
Translation forward gave a slight pitch up with
a roll to the left. And translation aft gave a
slight pitch down and a yaw to the left.

CDR ... up ... off the ... I crossed ... the tether
on this thing.

225 15 48 17 PLT And now we're going to hook the tether onto this
machine. We have the umbilical strung down from
above. And we're going to hook that up to the
ASMU - And where have I got the.t? Oh, there it
is, over there. And we're going to see how it
flies with a life support umbi].ical hanging on it.

225 15 49 l0 PLT (Chuckle) Trip (chuckle). Pulling this umbilical


out is a stunt. I didn't have it all the way out.
It pulled me instead of me pul]ing it. Well,
it'll be hooked on the left somewhere here, A1.
Why don't I hook it right on this - -

CDR All right.


8O5

PLT - - deal here. In fact, I'ii do it like this,


and this thing won't hit you in the -

CDR ... got that down ...

225 15 50 02 PLT Okay, we have the tether hooked - strung in from


the airlock. And it's hooked to the left side
tether location with the tether hook on the
umbilical. And our good friend, test pilot Alan
Bean, is now going to fly with a tether. How
much do you want out there, AI?

CDR ...

225 15 50 30 PLT Okay, l'm going to let it go now. Okay, we have


the - about 27 feet of umbilical inside of the
workshop hatch, and it's coiled around or strung
around Al's legs.

225 15 51 03 CDR ... go for a baseline ...

225 15 51 05 PLT Okay, we're going to do a baseline run. l'm


going to orient AI at the donning station here.
I'ii have to take a picture of you doing that, Al.

225 15 51 41 CDR Jack, ... in DIRECT ...

PLT Are you going to roll to the right or yaw to the


right? Okay, this one's going to be a baseline
maneuver in DIRECT, he says.

PLT Okay, there he goes. Tether is hung on him.

225 15 52 28 PLT Take a Nikon photo of that.

PLT Okay, maneuvering. You're going to bump the


bottom, AI.

CDR ... RATE GYRO ...

225 15 53 17 PLT He's going to the RATE GYRO MODE.

225 15 53 34 CDR ... the umbilicals. And you had to ... to - it


doesn't want to go there ... and ... DIRECT ...
--_ lock aft ... torque ... RATE GYRO ... keeps
them firing all the time ... not important ...
806

225 15 54 Ol PLT Okay, the umbilical puts a constant torque on the


machine, and it made it difficult to fly to the
banjo in DIRECT. In going to the RATE GYR0 MODE,
then the gyro or the - the umbilical tried to
torque the - the ASMU around and it was continuous
multiple firings with AI facing the banjo. And
without putting any handcontroller inputs in,
the rate gyros continued to fire the thrusters.

225 15 54 55 PLT Okay, Al's at the banjo. He's coming down to


the donning station now. What mode, AI?

CDR DIRECT.

PLT He's translating in DIRECT. The umbilical is


strung from his left, around behind him, and
circling around and up to the hatch. Looks like
he's translating down pretty well.

225 15 55 49 PLT Okay, what's the pressure?

225 15 55 57 PLT Okay, the ASMU pressure is indicating 900 on the


bottle and 800 on the gage. We're now going to
the H}{MU MODE.

CDR As I was saying, the gyro has a torque on it,


it has inertial also, so when you get the ...
when it's moving and you try to stop, the umbili-
cal just keeps on ... you get off ...

225 15 56 28 PLT Okay, during translation, A1 points out that the


umbilical has inertia of its own such that when
you attempt to stop, you can feel the umbilical
attempting to want to go on. So inertia of the
umbilical can also be felt in changing and
accelerating or decelerating during translation.
Okay, now we're going to take the umbilical off
and rig up for the HHMU MODE. And that's going
to have to suffice for today. When that's complete
obtain the HHMU and install handgrip number i.
Now let me put this darn camera down. Hand turn
it back so operate -

225 16 03 25 PLT Okay, recorder, on M509 - continuation of our


M509-1 run, we are now in the HHMU MODE. Got the
DACs running; we got the ... AI has started to 4
fire the HHMU, proceeding slowly, which is the
807

best way with the HHMU. Okay, I'm going to get


back here to take pictures.

CDR ... small ...

225 16 04 20 PLT Okay, the first comment he has is that you can
modulate the hand controller HHMU much better
than the simulator, because you can get much
smaller bursts - much smaller thrusts than were
input in the simulator. Fire the thr - You know
what to do? Okay.

225 16 05 38 SPT Detector number ... a couple of times, so l've


left it off ...

CC Roger. We'll be watching that, Owen.

225 16 05 46 PLT Okay, he's maneuvering very nicely in the center


of the workshop.

PLT What?

225 16 06 27 CC Skylab, Houston. Have you inhibited the CAUTION


and WARNING on the ...?

SPT ...

CC We were just questioning had you done this. We


noticed that ... down ... alarm ...

225 16 07 01 PLT Okay, he's in the upper center of the workshop,


yawing to his left.

CC If it's not inhibited, you might as well go ahead


and do that, Owen.

225 16 07 54 SPY Roger, 5 Delta was inhibited, so I guess Jack


did it when he - cleared, the last alarm about
an hour ago.

225 16 08 01 PLT (Chuckle) Everytime he moves his arm, he rotates


his whole self - -

CC ... Hawaii at 08.

PLT - - as you might suspect.


808

225 16 08 33 PLT There's a MARK for pitch up. He - he's completed


his yaw left 180 degrees; he's pitching up, space
fans, with HHMU, maintaining his position rather
well.

CDR ...

225 16 09 18 PLT He's co_nenting that the hose has some stiffness
in it, which makes it circle out and get in
the way of the thruster when he puts the hand
controller to his right. The thruster blows on
the hose.

225 16 09 44 CDR MARK.

225 16 09 45 PLT MARK; DATA MARK.

225 16 i0 00 PLT Looks like he's yawing right now, space fans.

225 16 i0 13 PLT He is! He is yawing right. Duly photographed.

225 16 I0 33 PLT Okay, now he's translating out in the middle of


the workshop. Looks like his yaw right is
complete.

225 16 i0 43 PLT DATA MARK.

CDR ...

PLT He's rolling to the left - in the middle of the


workshop. He hasn't hit nothing yet.

225 16 12 25 PLT Read 800 pounds. Not using very much gas with
this HHM.

225 16 12 48 PLT You do your translations yet, AI?

CDR _.,

225 16 13 44 PLT Okay. Now he's beginning his translations with


the HHMU. Want me to stablize you?

225 16 14 25 PLT Okay, he's got himself pretty well stabilized


in an upright position.

225 16 15 04 PLT Okay, he's thrusting aft. There he goes.

225 16 15 22 CDR Okay. l'm going to turn around ...


_-. 8o9

225 16 15 29 PLT Now he's rotating to the left, and he's getting
ready to maneuver.

225 16 16 01 PLT ... picture.

CDR ...

225 16 17 03 PLT Okay, he's getting ready to do a translation


right.

PLT Okay, he's doing a puller maneuver.

CDR ... down.

PLT And he's getting a little pitch down.

225 16 18 02 PLT ... take any pictures.

225 16 18 08 CDR Can't get any ... I'm translating.

225 16 18 14 PLT Down? Okay, he's going to translate upward now.


Tends to pitch down when he translates up.
f

225 16 18 39 PLT Your bump pad's on ... it.

225 16 19 12 PLT Huh?

225 16 19 13 CDR ...

225 16 19 16 PLT DATA MARK.

CDR ....Translate right.

225 16 19 22 PLT Translating right. He's getting a little roll


right on that. Stopping the roll right.

225 16 19 54 CDR Okay.

225 16 20 00 PLT DATA MARK.

CDR ... up here ...

225 16 20 07 PLT Okay, he's going to do some transfer maneuvers


now. It just so happens he's already near the
banjo. So he'll whip up a little closer to the
ban-Jo [sic]. Get the f_Im light on the 509 DAC.
Might as well press and do it - do it all.
2 frames a second, it was. For some reason
810 _

unknown to me, the other one's still grinding


away, although the takeup says it's full.

225 16 21 26 PLT Huh?

225 16 21 44 PLT Okay, he's making a pretty nice yaw to the left
up there in the banjo area. They used to call
him Banjo Bean - back at the University of Texas.
He's blowing washers and everything all over.

225 16 22 16 PLT Here's a hunk of a rivet floating into my sticky


fingers. And I see a washer coming my way, so
I'ii pick that up, put it where it goes over
with all this cam film. I can't hear what you're
saying, AI.

CDR ... stabilizing ...

PLT Okay, now he's stabil - stabilizing himself in


the banjo area with his hands. He's pointing
himself toward the donning station.

225 16 22 50 PLT DATA MARK.

PLT Here he's making a forward thrust, with which he


got a little pitch down and a little roll to the
left, which he's now trying to take out. He's
not going down quite enough so he's trying to
get himself some down translation and a little
more puller to get himself going. He's off-line
to the left a little bit, don't worry, he'll get
there. Now he's pulling himself over to the
right a little bit. He's rolled over on his left
side now, still going very slowly towards the
donning station on his left side, with his back
toward the donning station. Now he's taking that
out. He's face down to the floor of the workshop,
with his left side to the donning station.

225 16 24 00 PLT He's yawing around ever so gradually - pitching


up. Now he's facing the donning station - coming
down to it about 3 feet. Maneuvering into the
donning station, face down to the floor. Now if
if he could Just pitch up a little bit, he'd be right
where he wants to be, that's what he's trying to
do at the moment. That gives him a - a back
translation as well. Pitching up in the donning
station area.
_ 811

225 16 25 12 PLT Okay, suspended Just above the donning station


at about 30-degree angle from horizontal; head
up.

CDR ...

PLT Huh?

CDR ...

225 16 25 29 PLT Okay, let me turn this camera off here. Okay,
that took care of the run of 509. 509, end of -
end of message.

TIME SKIP

225 17 04 42 CDR This is the CDR, I'm getting ready to debrief the
run 509-1 that Jack and I made this morning.
Then I'm going to use the debriefing guide on
page 35-1 - starting at the beginning of page
"_ 35-1, and go from there. We tried to debrief as
we Went along, and so some of the items that I
may give you will be repeated here. Also, I may
forget to repeat here that are on the tape. And
further, some I may mention here that aren't -
are not on the tape. So the two, the tape during
the run and this debriefing session, will con-
stitute the 509 information. This information
goes to Lou Ramon, EdWhitsett, primarily, and
anyone else that's concerned with 509. Bruce
McCandless, of course, was the - followed this a
long, long time and would probably like a copy
also. He's the co-PI, says Jack Lousma.

225 17 05 52 CDR Okay. Maneuverability: Could you fly the base-


line maneuver satisfactorily in all modes? The
answer, yes. It was easy to fly the baseline
maneuver in all modes. I will say this, I tended
to fly it much faster here than I did in Denver
on the simulator for the simple reason that by
now you're very used to moving around, when in
the workshop, fast and you Just don't want to
waste time. You can fly from one side of the
the workshop, fast; and you Just don't want to
812

in Just a matter of half a second and you Just


zing all around and so when you're with the
m_neuvering unit, having to fly slow, it tends
to - to bother you a little bit. It's almost
like flying T-B8's for a while and all of a
sudden you end up in a - in a less performing
machine and when you do, you kind of want to get
on with it. And so you tend to fly faster. This
would - again I kept trying to hold myself down.
If I'd have flown like I wanted to, I would of
flown a couple of times at least faster than I
was flying today.

225 17 07 01 CDR Modes deficient? No. All three modes seemed to


be satisfactory. The best by far is the CMG
MODE. It very seldom desaturates. I heard - I
felt very few of the firings that did desaturate,
and those would seem to generally be in the roll
axis as opposed to the yaw or the pitch. Also,
it's ver_ stable there. Now in the RATE GYRO MODE
you get a lot of firing, and the dead bands are
bothersome enough so that you keep wanting to
blip it yourself before it hits the edge of the
dead band. My recommendation would be if we
ever built a rate-gyro type of rate command ones
that we make the dead bands just a little bit
smaller, because as it is, it's awfully sloppy
feeling.

225 17 07 h9 CDR DIRECT was simple; I had the feeling that I'd fly
much, much more in DIRECT than I normally would
have - or did in the simulator. I felt that the
machine operated Just a little bit more spritely
in DIRECT than the simulator did. I would put
in a pulse and the machine would move instantly
and naturally, but it seemed to move out at a
mas - faster rate - than in the simulator so I
felt that I overcontrolled more in DIRECT than
I'm used to.

225 17 08 23 CDR Was precision staping - stationkeeping easier in


some modes. The precision staping - stationkeeping
was easier in CMG because it held you Just in
a nice attitude. When you rotated the hand con-
trollers, you moved out instantly, when you let
go, it stopped, so you could fly Just about where
you wanted. One problem kept coming up, the
desire to move faster, to rotate faster, to get
.,_-_ 813

on with it. And you might find that that's what


I've done. I started off with a low rate and
then turned, and then in-for the turns too far out,
I've increased it, then I increase it later.
There's just a desire to get on with it. Preci-
sion stationkeeping in DIRECT is a little more
difficult. It's certainly possible that since
I've been up here awhile and have been able to
stabilize myself real well with my hands in front
of a device to work on, but I'm just not satis-
fied with the same sort of rate dead band that
we saw up in Denver where I hadn't had a lot of
experience in kind of floating in front of an object.
And so there was a desire to make corrections
for smaller dead - for more - smaller errors and
it was more difficult to do. So the data will -
will bear that out.

225 17 09 42 CDR But I will say this, if you were outside in a


suit I think you'd be satisfied with those errors,
you'd be satisfied with those rates, it's just
inside you're in a rather phony mode but you
/
would use it. And of course, we know that
inside you're going - you're going just dive for
the place. I'm not sure that that sort of thing
wouldn't be best outside too, now that we've done
it, unless you've got a long way to go.

225 17 lO 05 CDR Inspection maneuvers. No, you - you're outside,


want to fly an inspection maneuver going to need
a maneuver in use, perhaps something like this.
But you don't need the complexity this one has.
Just to go inspect you can have a direct mode, and
just have little thrusters out to the side. This
would work much better.

225 17 l0 24 CDR Were you able to satisfactorily aim at the tar-


get for the transfer maneuver? Yes. It was
rather simple, matter of fact. Transfer maneuver,
we headed right for the target. It seemed to me
we came out better than we had even in training.
I noticed in - in the DIRECT MODE one time that -
that I ended up as I translated for an object -
seemed to pick up some down translations but l'm
not really sure why.
814 -_

225 17 i0 54 CDR Baseline maneuvers. You could fly them rather


well. MY tendency was to get behind in the turn
during the look around the dome ring lockers, by
that I mean I would need to be 20 or 30 degrees
further clockwise in rotation for the point I was
on the dome ring locker than I would intend,
should I be there. I think this is all mixed up
with the desire to go faster, to translate faster,
to get on with it and I would rotate - I'd
be at a happy rotation rate but my translation
rate would be slow, so I'd speed it up. Well,
naturally then, my rotation rate - forward trans-
lation rate, was too - was too slow and I wouldn't
sweat this too much - seemed to be more satisfied.
But it's easy to do. All of these are easy. I
would recommend that - that we not go do any more
work on the simulator up on Denver because it
Just isn't needed, it's too simple up here. The
thing we need practice on is procedures like what
to do next, when to punch the button, all that -
and the mark button. When to call it out, what
for the - what each person should observe and say
and it would appear to me that that could be gotten
in Houston.

225 17 12 19 CDR I - I'd quit doing the air-bearing, too, maybe one
or two and that's about it. It Just doesn't do
you any good. It's - it's - the thing flies so
simply up here and it flies so much like the -
the - the vehicle - like any space vehicle that
is - except for baseline data, if that's needed,
for - add if you need baseline data - my goodness,
maybe you're going to have to do it but - I think
that the training on the air-bearing facility is
a complete waste of time, both for handheld
maneuvering unit and the rest of it. Maybe you -
if you want to do good handheld maneuvering unit
evaluations, you got to go to Denver. But then I
would limit this to maybe 1 day of - one-half a
day of flying CMM - CMGs, RATE GYROS, DIRECT.
Quit it' Can it' And then get on to the hand-
held maneuvering unit, the only thing that's
really a challenge. I'll talk more about that
later.

225 17 13 15 CDR Should any maneuvers be changed for the next 509
run? Well, I don't think so. It's going to be
fL 815

awfully repetitious, but if you're trying to get


data, I guess we can do it. One thing we did do
today, now, we took the umbilical that we're go-
ing to use, put it on the side of the maneuvering
unit and tried to fly. Sure enough, that umbili-
cal has a mind of its own. Not only is - is hard
to get - not only has a position it likes to go
to, which is bad, but it has inertia - by - and
momentum. By that I mean, when you're still and
want to move somewhere and you start thrust for
it, the old umbilical Just doesn't want to go.
You're thrusting, not in cg and it - it Just
doesn't want to go. Then when you finally get
it going at the expense of multiple pounds of
fuel, then it doesn't want to stop. So as you're
going towards the target, it tends to want to
end up going where you want.

225 17 14 09 CDR Finally, if you get headed that way, let's say
you're a little bit to the left of target and
you're trying to get a right correction, you're
trying to put it in, you're trying to push -
f you're putting it in trying to correct,putting
it in and trying to correct, and all the sudden
you notice it is going to the right. And you
say I've got to stop it. You've really got to
lead it. It takes a lot of gas because it Just
now wants to keep going to the right. It's a
case of - of momentum - of the umbilical - iner-
tia of the umbilical and the fact that it's giving
you a constant torque we have the position you'd
like to go in each moment now. You can take the
umbilical and put it somewhere or you - if you -
fly up to a point and stay there, and let go, it
doesn't try to move you too much then. It does
a little.

225 17 14 53 CDR You dont' notice it so much in DIRECT as you do


in RATE GYRO. When I flew up to the banjo, went
to RATE GYRO - the rate gyros Just - I got thrus-
ter firings continually as they tend to try to
torque. So I don't know what we're going to do
about this suited run. It's conceivable that we
ought to connect up the umbilical and have Jack
try to tend it, and see if he can do anything
to relieve the strain much as we do in - in
the air-bearing facility - but I do think
this is phony too, because we would not be
816 _

doing that when we were EVA. Of course you


might say, well, EVA we're going to carry our
own oxygen supply on the maneuvering unit - and
all we'll have to have is a safety tether which
is Just a string, which would be quite - this is
a different situation, less troublesome. But
you're going to have to think about that, Lou
and Ed, because - and Bruce, because I don't know
the answer.

225 17 15 5h CDR Controllability. During the single alpo [sic]


axis cals, DIRECT mode, did you notice any atti-
tude disturbances when commanding translation?
Now, let me briefly report on it. Now these
aren't right. I know they aren't right, but
they're best we could decipher. We'll do them
again and see what we can get. Here we go.
Translate right, you get a slight yaw right and
roll left. Translate left, not much, as you can
see. So you can see this - the effects there are
small. Translate up, nothing. Translate down,
nothing. Translate forward, you get a pitch up
anda rollleft.

225 17 16 26 CDR Now you translate aft, you get a pitch down and
a yaw left. Now control in yaw is difficult to
discern for the simple fact that it's hard to
get to a zero stabilized position to start the
whole bast game off. Then when you push on the
thrusters, it sometimes tends to make it more
obvious to you that - what wasn't obvious when you
were standing still. As you translate along, you
tend to see yourself in motion. Now maybe what
I got to do next time is go without thrusting for
a longer period of time before I translate, and
try to decide Just what it is doing and then go
from there.

225 17 17 04 CDR We know those are wonderful - -

225 17 17 05 CDR We know those are what's ... It's close, but not
quite. Now let's take some of the attitude maneu-
vers. Pitch up or down seems like a pure m_neuver.
Yaw, left ; you get a pitch up and a roll right.
Yaw, right; I think you get a pitch down, but I'm
not sure, and a roll left; I'm pretty sure - I'm
very sure about that. Roll right, you get a yaw
left ; and roll left, you get a yaw right.

225 17 17 24 CDR Now on these rolls, the back - the ... doesn't fit
very tight in roll. If you pitch up, it - you
feel it move around in your back, but not trouble-
some. Same thing with yaw. But when you do a
roll, it really moves around your back. Then
later - during the run, I made a comment one time,
"When I yawed left, a long, big burst, it tended
to make - I yawed right, it made me roll left."
By that I mean, as I yawed right, in a hurry, I
wasn't - I had my hand relaxed on the hand
controller and it caused my hand then to move into
a left roll position, or the hand controller moved
out from under my hand towards the right, which
gave a left roll. Then it fired left roll, which
•.. that out. Now that was the only time that
oc curr ed.

225 17 18 l0 CDR During the single-axis cals, DIRECT MODE, did you
notice attitude rates increase - attitude change
about an axis rather than axis commanded? I
discussed it - which axis and which direction.
Well, I will say that it is not troublesome; it
'f- hasn'tbeen.

225 17 18 25 CDR Did you notice any rate change during CMG SAT?
Well, we had several in roll. And then I probably
had a few others I didn't pay attention to. But,
intuitive feeling would be no, I did not notice
any rate change; and if I did, it wasn't signifi-
cant. I'ii try and notice it next time. I don't
think that's an important thing, but I could be
wrong.

225 17 18 45 CDR Could you hear or feel the CMGs locking solenoids
when caging or uncaging? The answer: I could
hear all sorts of noise, but I couldn't feel them
too well .... and also didn't hear them really
go click. Mostly, I was looking at the light.

225 17 19 04 CDR Could you hear the CMG gimbals whine during limb
motion? Didn't do limb motion. During attitude
commands? I'll tell you what I did notice. While
I was flying close to the object, I did notice
that I would tend to move my legs aft. If I
was flying out in the middle, I'd tend to let
them float forward. I only contacted the vehicle
one time - or two times. And I could have pre-
f_ vented it. I just felt that I just was going to
818

let it touch there and save fuel. Once going to


the banjo, some other time that I don't recall.
But anyhow, it wasn't a big thing. I found that
I could hold on lightly in RATE GYRO. It had no
effect.

225 17 19 44 CDR I did not attempt to hold on in CMG because I


held on a lot in DIRECT. I found that the vehicle
on your back is not that heavy. You can push off
in the general direction you want to go. You can
move around with ease and facility. You Just tend
to - not - it Just does not bother you.

224 17 20 04 CDR A lighter one would be less noticeable.

225 17 20 06 CDR Did you notice any leg lag during rotation? Not
particularly. What I did notice was that I wanted,
every once in awhile, to kick my legs because,
you know, you Just llke to move around in this
zero g. You're tired of being still. And if you
did not move, I noticed it would fire a thruster
and the vehicle would move, and so I quit it.
But there was a desire to kick the legs around,
although I didn't notice any particular firing or
attitude excursions with leg motions during firing
itself.

225 17 20 36 CDR Did you inadvertently contact the OWS? The


answer is no, not inadvertently. I did it on
purpose a couple of times; that's discussed. Did
you sometimes use your legs or hands to stop or
push off? Yes, I discussed that. 0nly did it
when I felt like it would save gas, and never
felt that I had to do it - that I could have
always used gas to prevent it. Never at any time
was I out of control or felt that things were
degrading.

225 17 21 05 CDR Let's try the 0WS factors. Did you notice atmos-
pheric drag in rotation - translation? The answer:
no, don't think it's noticeable. Went up and flew
near the vents and everything else. Didn't see
it. Now if I went up to a spot where the fan was
blowing, which there isn't in the upper air, I'm
pretty sure that I would feel it. The closest I
came to something like that was up to the - sitting
in the top of the duct where the suction - Just
_ 819

putting your hand over it, you should feel suction.


But back 3 or 4 inches ... there's no noticeable
effect.

225 17 21 35 CDR Did you notice the 0WS air velocity perturbating
your translations? No. Your stationkeeplng?
No. Did you notice any 0WS rotations during
translation? We've already discussed it. Did
shadows provide useful motion cues? Not much in
the way of shadows up here because lights are all
around. Motion cues, you got a billion.

225 17 21 55 CDR Also, one of the nice things was, we're used to
laying on our back, on our head, and all that other.
And it wasn't like flying the maneuvers at Denver
where you got on your back; you tended to become
disoriented. Here, you might not do as well,
just because you're used to operating upright.
But the cues were not bad, and I didn't feel that
that was significant.

225 17 22 18 CDR Did the hlgh-intensity photo lights bother you?


f Answer: no, but I'll tell you this. The high-
intensity photo lights over between F-10 and F-12,
I - I think those are the numbers, between the
5-milllmeter and the TV - And if you want to have
good TV, you're going to have to do a little some-
thing about that. I moved it up to the top of the
rail, later, where it seemed to work okay. But the
light that was over further towards the film Fault,
it's out to the bottom and it bothers the TV.
Next time, I'm going to move it up to the top of
the handrail and tape it in the way I Just did
the previous one. It worked okay.

225 17 22 56 CDR Could you t_]k to the observer during the run?
So-so. If so, would you prefer to have the
observer read the procedures instead of using the
Cuff Checklist? No, I thought the Cuff Checklist
was a fine little thing. It worked well and you
ought to keep it.

225 17 23 ll CDR Did making compensating motions with the left arm
significantly reduce the HHMU attitude disturb-
ances? I didn't try, doggone it, because I
never trained doing compensating motions with
left arm. But I'll sure give it a go sometime,
820 _

if I recall it. I noticed that atti - ... trans-


lations did have an effect on what you did. I
felt that - Wait.

225 17 23 36 CDR I'm going to get a drink of water.

225 17 24 13 CDR Okay, CDR back again, working on M509. The


question was about arm motion. I'm going to try
to use them to enhance my flying next time, but
generally speaking, I noticed that moving the arms
around did disturb the situation, particularly
with the heavy HHMU. Now my guess is using -
doing with the suits, the heavier arm movements
are going to be more pronounced. Another thing
that I noticed was that the DAS light of the
HHMU is constantly in your way. It sticks out to
the side. It's not so bothersome for motion -
hands in front of the body, but above the head
and particularly_ in the yaw out to the right,
it becomes a big factor.

225 17 25 00 CDR I thought about tieing it back; but I think, if


I did, that it would end up having a - having a
shortage of straps to move things around. One
thing that I did notice about the HHMU was I had
very much difficulty exactly finding my center
of gravity. Almost all my translations were poor
because of this. My rotations were not as good
as they could have been because of this. I never
did very many things in a secure situation with
the HHMU.

225 17 25 34 CDR Another thing about the HHMU is, you're able to
get very small pulses. But I couldn't discipline
myself to do it because I was maintaining pretty
good control with big ones. And there's that
constant desire to get on with the program.
You're just kind of tooling around out in the
middle, and you're saying, "Why am I here? Why
don't I go do something? Why don't I get over
there? Go do this maneuver." That means you
tend to want to go do something in rotation or
translation. So you - to do it, you got to put
it in thrust.

225 17 26 04 CDR Now a couple of times during the run, I felt


that I was closer to objects than I wanted to
be.
_-_ 821

225 17 26 l0 CDR I could - no danger_ I could have reached out


and stopped it with my hand. It would have been
easy. In fact, I'm not sure the way to fly the
HHMU, and I'll fly it next time, is push off and
use it for corrections. We'll try but it's Just
so much controllability and so much ease. I never
got out of control. I flew all the maneuvers. I
felt that the single-action maneuvers were rather
sloppy. But, all in all, for this much of a lay-
out, I was happy enough with it. I felt that
next time I could do better. And felt that it -
at no time did it ever get out of control. One
time up at the banjo I decided I'd turn around -
and I turned around and noticed I was translating
to the right. I'd very simply stop. And I said,
"I'm trying to get on with it." I Just reached
over, grabbed the banjo, and pulled myself over
and stopped.

225 17 26 58 CDR The HHMU - perhaps as a stationkeeping device isn't


too grand, and I do not think that we really would
want to use it outside. It just - it's awfully
hairy. I had no trouble firing it today. I don't
think I'll have any trouble firing it in the suit,
but if you had any problems, any stuck thrusters,
any perturbation in getting it going, you'd be -
SOL; and I mean sure out of luck. We'd like to -
to not do that HHMU except in this training be-
cause it just doesn't have the capability. It
seems to be the thing we want. It's a simple,
direct unit, as light as possible with fuel_ and
it should have four long rods extending out to the
side like RCS quads so you could fire that little
thing in a minute. And you wouldn't have any
trouble. What attitude disturbances during the
HHMU mode due to HHMU positioning were bothersome?

225 17 27 _9 CDR Well, any time you moved fast it was bothersome,
but you could always correct it. Much controll-
ability, much authority, much - everything was
good. Let me think a few minutes and I'll give
you the rest.

225 17 30 25 CDR Okay, this is CDR with a few more thoughts on


M509. It seems to me that one of the things that
we could - we could do is - Well, I know you want
to do those baselines, so we'll keep doing base-
lines until we're sick of them, and I'll try to
822 -_

slow down. But I guess my best - our best bet is


to try to get another look at this umbilical pro-
blem before we get ready to do 509 suited because
it's Just going to make so much difference. The
suit's going to m_ke a difference ; clumsy, but
mostly you' re not going to be able to hear the
thrusters as well, and you might not be able to
realize that you're really squirting away the
gas. In the RATE GYRO MODE, the gas Just went
bye-bye so fast. And I was a little bit surprised
about it. I had plenty when I started off and I
Just did a couple of maneuverings, did a little
flyaround and it went down to about a lO00 pounds.
I can't think of anything else. This is the end
of the message. I'll think of things as we go on
today and I'll put the note in to call you.

225 17 31 37 CDR So CDR out. This message is - concerns 509; Ed


Whitsett, Lou Ramon, and Bruce McCandless.

225 17 33 32 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A. I want to


debrief the last A - last two ATM passes here
with information going to the ATM Pls. This has _.
to do with the chromospheric network structure,
J0P IA. And we're not quite through running it
yet, but there's nothing I can do here for a couple
of minutes on the panel and I want to get this
information down while it's fresh in mind. On
the first orbit I did pick a reasonably good cell,
I thought, near the coordinates you set up. And
my coordinates, which you can verify, are minus
4_56, minus 400, and minus 175. There were a group
of cells more or less arranged left to right in this
position, and the boundary that I selected must
have been about 45 seconds long up/down. And the
cell was approximately squarlsh, about 45 seconds -
arc seconds on the side. And ran through the first
four steps without much of a problem. No - no
hitches. Everything went precisely according to
the plan. However, I couldn't see the cell bound-
aries changing during the course of the run. The
H-alpha structure simply is not that stable and
you can't see the motion over intervals of l0 of
15 minutes even. So I did _ke a note of Just
what the structure looked like at the end of the
first orbit.

225 17 34 56 SPT Coming up on the second orbit I believe I identi-


fied the same cell. The adjacent cells were not --_
_-_ 823

as clearly related to this cell as they were


before. But I believe the same cell was selected.
And it changed its shape a little bit; rather than
being squarish it was more elliptical in shape.
The UP/DOWN dimension now is more like 60 arc
seconds and the LEFT/RIGHT dimension about 30 arc
seconds. So it becomes elongated in the UP/DOWN
direction, fortunately. Now the coordinates of
the center of this location I select to be h455
minus in roll _ minus 401, and minus 177, nearly
the same coordinates as we had before. And then
picking up on that first step 5, I believe it
was, when you move 5 arc seconds off to the right
immediately. And this completes all those steps
on the second orbit.

225 17 35 53 SPT Now on step 8, which is the MIRROR AUTO RASTER,


I had this same cell identified precisely on
H-alpha 1 and then got it on H-alpha 2 precisely
and pointed to that exact same boundary. As I
would look at this at - at location 25/32 on the
S055 MIRROR AUTO RASTER and that should be right
f-- on the center of the boundary that was selected
for study. So I hope it turns out to be a fairly
interesting one. But it is clear that the con-
figuration is changing on a fairly short time
constant ; 15 to 30 minutes, certainly significant
changes are noted.

225 17 36 33 SPT And of the debriefing here. SPT concluding


remarks going to the ATM PIs.

225 17 53 50 PLT Hello, space fans; this is Jack on channel A. The

What did you ... on fUel ... is ... now?

225 18 54 32 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A with information


of interest to the M]I0 people, and the biomed
group, and Dr. Paul Buchanan. This morning I
took another hemoglobin sample - hemoglobin mea-
surement by pricking my finger and taking the
blood in a pipette and then checking the hemoglobin
measurement in the standard method from that point
on. And I did get numbers which were smaller
than the ones that I obtained the 2 days ago.

225 18 55 15 SPT The numbers are as follows. With my right eye,


I'd give you a sequence of 6: 15.0, 15.7, 15.0,
15.2, 15.6, and 15.6, which all average out to
about 15.4. With _V left eye, I got 15.7, 15.9,
15.6, 15.6, 15.5, and 15.7, which average out to
15.7. So these are Just about 1 gram per 100
milliliters or lower than the ones I got 2 days
ago. And so it's still substantially above the
numbers that we had preflight, but perhaps not
quite as dramatic as the ones that had appeared _-_
after the 100 - Mll0 sampling. Now I'm not quite
sure how to account for this difference unless
it was some way the fact that the blood had
remained in the - the syringe for an hour or 2.
I've forgotten exactly how long, but I believed
I mentioned it on the tape before, perhaps a
couple of hours. It was before doing the original
samples. So you might comment on the freshness
of the sample - whether you think that is essential
and any comments you might have about the useful-
ness or interpretation of the present results.

The subject is the last ATM pass. Last ATM pass
was 20:07 pass. You asked me to omit JOP 4B,
step l, so I did. And substitute in its place
JOP 1A, step ll, from the previous rev. I
started out by doing JOP 4B, step 2, building block
36 Alfa. Got that all done. At one - had -
had no problem on 55, detector 5, that time I
don't believe. I then went back and picked up
JOP IA, step ll, from the previous rev. During
that time, detector 5 cut out once or twice and
so there's probably a short data dropout although
I think I caught it quite early. So we com-
pleted the 18:34 rev. At the conclusion of
the last rev, I was Just setting up for the
J0P 7, building block 15, and I ran out of time
about 1 minute early and elected not to get
building block 15. We'd rather - to wait until
next pass. When I have a little more time.

225 21 03 38 PLT So we've omitted building block 15 fr_n the


20:07 pass. We'll be back at 21:43 and - and
hopefully we can pick up that last 3 minutes of

225 22 37 20 PLT Okay, ATM fans, this is Jack on channel A. The


last ATM pass, that was the rev we started at
21:h3_ we got everything done. We tried to,
upon the completion of that, back up and get the
atmospheric distinction - extinction - JOP,
but missed it, got a little late start on it, but
also, had the S052 in STANDARD and not CONTINUOUS.
We'll get that next time.

225 22 37 55 PLT That's all for now.

### A
DAY226(AM) 829

226 00 l0 05 PLT Hello there, ATM fans, this is Jack. We're de-
briefing this time the 23:16 run. Had several
_nnies here. We ran the rev pretty much as is
advertised there. We got JOP 6, building block 2,
off pretty well ... realignments. And I Just
merely checked the alignments because I have a
hunch that when this pad was written you didn't
realize that Owen had _lready checked them again
yesterday. And I feel that his work is about as
good as can be done. And I Just checked them and
verified that they're still the way they were when
he did them. But I made no further corrections
to the alignment which he made yesterday.

226 00 12 12 PLT Now there were several unusual things occurred.


Number l, let's talk about S052 - oh, by the way,
at the end of that rev we also got the atmosphere
extinction JOP done. Building block 15 came off
as advertised, so we picked that up from a couple
of preceding revs. S052 showed up without a
READY light on a couple occasions. It seams to
go out by itself.

226 00 12 51 PLT I thought I was imagining things on building


block 2, in JOP 6 when this occurred. I went to
OPERATE on it anyhow. I verified that my switches
and point was correct and I went to OPERATE. We
got the OPERATE light at normal time and later
on we got the READY light when the Delta - when
the sequence was complete. On building block 15,
later on the same thing happened. Pointing was
all right. The switches were set up properly.

226 00 l0 59 PLT Then went on to do JOP 15 Bravo, step 36A, and


you wanted a comment on the visibility of the
coronal hole at this time. And in doing several
integrations on the XUV MONITOR, I couldn't see
any coronal hole at that point. There looked
like - there looked like there was a lot of limb
brightening in XUV. There look - looks to me to
be about a 90-degree segment of it - 90-degree
arc was covered with limb brightening and we
were pointed right in the middle of it. I veri-
fied the coordinates, and we sure were pointed
at 280. So I couldn't see any coronal - coronal
hole there that maybe had come around the limb
or something, but got Owen up here and we both
f_ looked at and verified we had the right pointing
and did the building block Just right. So you
got the data.
830 ----

The READY light Just kind of went off by itself.


And before we started taking the continuous
exposure on S052, the darn light came back on
again. So the READY light went off and then back
on, and the experiment operated normally.

226 00 13 46 PLT S082B - had a pecularity with it, also; during the
building block 2 1 thought that it stopped, and
that it went back to READY. Although I may have
been erroneous in that observation because shortly
thereafter, I looked back and there it was in
OPERATE. And it was hung up in OPERATE. It was
hung up with the SHORT WAVELENGTH on frame 1016,
and I must have waited for 5 to 8 minutes for
that thing to go off. I thought l'd inadvertently
restarted it but I was not in time; it was verified
to be in AUTO. So in order to press on I hit the
STOP stitch - switch and we got a READY light, and
after waiting to see it work, finding the frame -
That's the 3-minute, 20-second time exposure after
that, and so it looks like it was a one-time event
as far as I'm concerned. I don't know if you've
seen this before; detector 5 keeps popping off all
the time, and so we turned detector 5 off on
building block 36A.

226 00 15 05 PLT So we're going to keep watching those little funnies


there on 82 and 52. Don't quite understand them,
but we'll watch for them. The experiment appears
to be working normally, however. Already discussed
the coronal hole situation. Where we were pointed,
it appeared that there was constant limb bright-
ening for 45-degrees along either side of the -
our pointing location on the 280-degree position.
We Just got one more rev coming up with probably
Owen at the controls, and I had a good day here
and looking forward to it again tomorrow.

226 00 15 49 PLT Thank you.

226 13 01 08 PLT See you, Lou.

226 13 56 15 CDR Okay. This is for the ATM group; CDR. I appre-
ciate your sending up that J0P _A, and step 4.

226 13 56 33 CDR Building block ll, I'm running that for you now.
The prominence is a - has a nice arch to it. And
although I could not see it in H-alpha, the cen-
ter part of the arch, Owen Garriott pointed out
that - that it was probably there because we
could see either end. Because of this, I moved
up and optimized detector 3. Which got some very
strong emissions up to the level of about 2300,
as opposed to down at the base of the - the
prominence where the levels were in 2 or 300 range.
I'm not parallel to the limb at this point, but
aligned more or less where I think the prominence
is traveling.

226 13 57 20 CDR I do, however, think that we do not have any


part of the 82B slit on the limb, so they ought
to be happy. I'm giving 82B a 6-minute exposure
as they - which they got previously in the
building block - correction, shopping list item 9.
I'll give them one of those, and then I'll give them
their AUTO, which is requested in J0P 4A,
step ll [sic]. So they'll get both the things
that they wanted. PATROL, NORMAL in 56 we're
running anyway, so they'll get the same thing.
PATROL, SHORT, we're running. So their shopping
list item 9 is building block ll not too far
removed. The GRATING AUTO SCAN we're running
right now. We're doing it in slit center so they
ought to be happy, too.

226 13 38 13 CDR So we've been able to accomplish both the shopping


list and the building - and the ll, J0P 4A, which
seems to be a - a way to get additional data and
save time. I hope we don't use too much frame.
The only - we only - in fact, we only used one
extra frame, and that was the frame for 82B, the
6-mlnute exposure which they wanted.

226 13 58 46 CDR And there for 1 minute, 20-second exposure for


JOP - for 82A. I gave them a 1 minute and 31
seconds, 1 minute 31-second exposure. I hope
that 's okay.

226 13 59 02 CDR CDR, out.

226 14 03 01 CDR Okay, CDR, talking about the ATM pass again. It
looks like before we finish AUT0, we're going to
drop into the effective sunset region. I'm going
to stop the AUTO when we do.

226 14 03 20 CDR Okay, we're going to let it go, not 34h but the
3 minutes, and then we'll stop. So we'll get pert
of the AUTO.

226 14 03 52 CDR And what I've elected to do also, after we gave


you the two GRATING AUTO SCANS I'm going to go
ahead and give you a MIRROR AUTO RASTER over this
prominence - MIRROR AUTO RASTER over this promi-
nence, so that - as we go through the atmosphere
here. It looks like it's got a lot of energy at
the top, and we already had the two GRATING AUTO
SCANS, so we might - -

226 14 04 19 SPT Which way did you ... -

r 226 14 16 39 SPT Okay, this is the SPY recording on channel A


with information about the S063 handheld
camera performance of the twilight airglow. The
first frame was -was 1 second in duration and
exposed at 14, 12, and i0 seconds. The second,
third and fourth frames were exposed exactly as
on the pad, 14, 12, 30; 14, 13, 00; and 14, 13, 30.
And their exposure lengths, the last three, were
2, 2, and 4 seconds as on the pad. The camera
setup was as on the pad. With the UV camera,
there was a visible lens and the visible filter
on the front of it. The camera was pointed in
the general direction of the Sun. There's a
lot of structure out that way. We were having
to look through the ATM for the most part, but
the horizon is visible on either side of the
structure. This was with a 55-millimeter lens,
of course; that's about a 60-degree field of
vi ew.

226 14 17 35 SPY So you should see plenty of the horizon around


the structure, although there is plenty of
structure in the way. I'd appreciate any com-
ments about the procedure. I assnme that the
procedure was exactly as on that checklist, but
83& --_

if there were - if that wasn't exactly what you


intended, please let me know.

226 14 17 52 SPT End of comments for the S063 PI, Dr. Packer and
make sure it gets to Wally Teague and Jack Lew
as well, our procedures trainers for this experi-
ment at JSC.

226 14 18 08 SPT End of comment.

226 14 23 40 SPY SPT again with a couple of more comments relevant


to the last S063 photography. First of all I
neglected to mention that I did use MDA window
number 3. That's 243 on the nametag, should be
_3A window number 3. And I also stabilized the
camera with the universal mount. And so all of
these were with the universal mount and the
camera sort of held against the window. And
with the timer. The exposures were made with
the automatic timer.

226 lh 24 i0 SPY Now following that, I came down to the wardroom,


took the UV filter off and took one exposure of
the horizon from the wardroom window. There were
no red arcs visible, but the 80- to lO0-kilometer
airglow is very clearly visible. And I took a
2-second exposure of the horizon from the ward-
room window, from which it is pretty clearly
visible. And I'd be interested in your comments
as to whether or not any photographs of the
100-kilometer airglow are of interest. Those,
I am sure, are quite easy to obtain because we.
can see that essentially every night as - by
eye, as soon as we get even partially dark-
adapted, as a rather bright ring, and it looks
to be about 80 to lO0 kilometers high.

226 14 25 00 SPT End of message to the same people as I mentioned


before, Packer, S063 PIs, and Wally Teague and

Between these two grating - MIRROR 3 RASTERS, I
gave you a GRATING AUTO SCAN. I didn't mean to
do it, I Just missed the - new grating in one step
so you'll have some nice data there for GRATING
AUTO SCAN.

226 15 07 l0 CDR CDR out.

226 15 09 12 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The


subject is TOO2-h, stadimeter orbital sightings.
I'm going to take a few sightings on this rev.
At my marks, the time will be day 226, 15 hours
and l0 minutes and 0 seconds. We'll be inter-
rupted in a short time by a voice recorder dump.
We will proceed with this stadimeter sightings
after that dump is completed. Okay, stand by for
15, l0 minutes and 0 seconds.

226 15 l0 O0 PLT MARK; 15:10. Okay, now we're going to take some
sightings. You notice this is kind of a slow
process. I've got myself anchored here as firmly
/ -
as possible, my right elbow - my feet locked and
my right elbow on the wall, the stadimeter leaned
up against the window. It's somewhat difficult
to put all the horizons together because the
horizons are not that well defined. Seems less
well defined in the outer - parts of the reticle
than it does in the middle.

226 15 ll 56 PLT That's the major problem. The horizons are not
well defined.

226 15 12 38 PLT The way it's Jiggling, it'-stracing all over.

226 15 13 51 PLT Call that a -

226 15 13 52 PLT MARK. Right there. That horizon is so poorly


defined in the - -

CC Vanguard ... - -

PLT - - stadimeter that it's very difficult to tell


where it is. The number is h.011.
836

226 15 14 12 CC Skylab, Houston ... we'll be dumping the recorder


there.

226 15 lh 14 PLT And we'll go off the recorder for a while.

226 15 21 49 PLT There's a - about the best horizon is a lower


layer of white which appears to me to be the top
of the clouds way up there. But then it diffuses
into more white and then into light blue, and
into the deeper blue and a deeper blue again that
diffuses itself into the black of space. I'll try
in this first set of sightings to use - use the
line of de - demarcation which appears to be the
sharpest and most well defined; that is, the upper
layer of the clouds before it gets into the dif-
fused white layer. But it is hard to see in the
stadimeter, particularly in the right-most - the
reticle. And I can't see that time over there -
I don' t know what - Stand by.

226 15 23 00 PLT MARK. The time is 15:23. On my mark, the day


was 236 [sic], 15 hours 33 minutes and 0 seconds.

PLT Here, we'll try and make our first sighting,


starting over in here, if we can get a couple in
before dark.

226 15 24 03 CC ...

226 15 27 22 PLT Okay, we're still standing by here to get this


first mark on the stadimeter. It's awful hard to
find the horizons that m_tch. I can find a line
of de - demarcation in the one presentation, you
can't find it in the other is the problem.

PLT I think one problem is that the - irregularity


of the clouds.

PLT Let me make an observation that makes this dif-


fi cult.

226 15 29 17 PLT I guess maybe I've already said this, but the
horizon, getting one horizon in the east to that
and west - north - south, as the case may be -
scanning the horizon I can see out the window,
part of it is very diffused and part of it is
fairly well defined. One of the most well-defined
areas is presently, as I look out the window - out
837

the window directly at 12 o'clock over to my


1:30 o'clock, it's well-defined. You get around
to 3 o'clock and again it gets diffuse. And from
12 o'clock around to 9 o'clock, it is very - I
think we might be approaching the terminator which
would account for part of the difference. But -
let me find out how much daylight we've got left.
Hey, O., how much daylight do we have left?

226 15 30 29 PLT Okay, we got l0 minutes of daylight left and -


okay, we've got lO minutes of daylight left and
already the horizon from 1 o'clock clear around to
9 o'clock is where the terminator is is very dif-
fuse and would be unsuitable, I think, for a stadim-
eter sightings. The horizon between 1:30 and say
2:30 or 2 o'clock - 1 or 2 o'clock is fairly well
defined. And again over at 3 o'clock, it becomes
more diffused but not as diffused as it is at the
9 o'clock to 1 o'clock area. Well, the Moon is
just coming up. The Sun's going to set here in
- lO minutes. Looks like we'll have to fix them up
at the time when the next daylight orbit and get
it a period of time when the horizon is fairly well
defined which won't be the time of daylight orbit
but will be something probably specifically less
than that. So we're still standing by to get the
T002-4 in. And believe what I'll do is take a look
at the night horizon, see if I can make anything
out with it - with the stadimeter and if not, I'll
star-to-star, star-to-Moon sightings.

226 15 32 06 PLT Let's leave it at this for now.

226 15 38 15 PLT Okay, space fans. This is the PLT again, on chan-
nel A. We're getting ready to do some T002-2 -
I believe it's called a 6 Bravo, sextant operational
sightings. And we're going to use two stars. We're
going to put the star on the night horizon. Give
you a mark when it occurs. And you've selected
stars 2 and 4 for me. And I think we might be
able to get along with that. We'll see. I'll
perform a zero bias sighting to begin with. The
diopter setting is a minus 1.25 and the temperature
is reading 72 degrees at the present time. We'll
do our zero bias sightings on Fom_lhaut.

226 15 39 19 PLT There's old Fomalhaut. As I mentioned the other


day, the optics don't permit the stars to fall on
f--_ top of one smother - rather, side by side, such
838 _

that there's about room to get two more stars in


between the two that you're sighting on. I've
fastened myself down, both feet, leaned my elbow
on the wall, stadimeter against the window, using
the hood. Have a full Moon.

226 15 40 01 PLT Okay, there's a -

226 15 40 02 PLT MARK. On the first zero bias, which is 0.03.


Take another one. I'm rolling back the dial each
time, and I rotated the same direction each time,
counterclockwise, or looking at the dial, think
that's a sighting.

226 15 40 37 PLT MARK here; zero bias sighting number 2. It's


0.04. I think there's an extra zero in there;
0.002 and 0.004 - those two were. And this third
one's coming up. And that is a 0.004. The fifth
one - fourth one coming up, 0.005. And the fifth
one -

PLT I think I'm working on the fifth one here; a


little shakey.... Got them lined up side by _
side, best I can tell. Make it 0.004.

226 15 42 06 PLT Okay, I think it would be a better idea not to


use Achernar because Fomalhaut is directly out
the window. Achernar would require that I get an
angle through the window and I think probably the
optical qualities of the window are better known
by looking straight through it than at an angle.
So I'll run Fomalhaut down to the horizon. And so
the first star's going to be Fomalhaut. And it
says here, we need to get l0 marks. I'm going to
have to hustle because we've got a lot of marks
to do.

226 15 43 20 PLT Okay, we're running Fomalhaut down to the horizon


here now. And the only horizon I can clearly see
is the airglow layer. I think it's down here a
little more .... It looks like to me all I have
to do on this one is - there it is - rotate the
dial counterclockwise, m_ke the settings. Now
the question is, what do you use for the horizon?
The horizon is quite diffuse. There's nothing
too well defined, although there is an upper -
there is an upper layer where the black turns into
_-_ 839

white. But it, too, is diffused. Now I'll try


to put it on what appears to be most well-designed
boundary between black and white. See what the
horizon looks like. It's coming down from above
good. It's quite diffused. Gradually turns into
white. Down below that layer of white, it tends
to get dark. Interpret that to be the lower part
of the atmosphere. That's more nearly likely to
be the real horizon of the Earth. The other
question is, which one do we select. Neither
boundary is very well defined, quite murkey.
What I'll do is I'll - With this first set of
sightings, I'll take the higher or most upper
layer - that being that horizon for which we're
seeing. It may be the top of the atmosphere.
So we'll take a ma_k here. Stand by.

226 15 46 22 PLT Hey, A1. Hey, A1.

PLT Stand by 1. I'm going to get some lights off.


Just a little too much light in here. Yes. I
wonder if you could turn off all the lights in the
f area,please ....

226 15 46 53 PLT Okay, here I am again. We got all the lights off.
Now using the hood and all lights off to boot. I
thought maybe we'd be able to see this horizon bet-
ter .... Not much, still pretty diffuse, although
I see no lower layer anymore. It's Just a upper
diffuse edge of - a gradual change from black to
white. I'll put it to where it seems to be the
be st.

226 15 47 44 PLT MARK. Okay, we're reading 38.436, 38.436. Stand


by for the second mark.

226 15 h8 24 PLT MARK. 39.144. Stand by.

226 15 48 52 PLT MARK. 39.5hh. I'm not eomfident I'm getting

226 15 51 51 PLT MARK. 41.1 - Correction, 41.940. Okay, now we're


going to pick another star here.

PLT There's Diphda over there. And Achernar's in a


little better location now. So if I can find
Achernar here, maybe we ought to try it. Must
be about 20 degrees or so. Maybe a left, about 15.
The reason I didn't use Diphda is because it wasn't
up very good at the time we began. I could of
used it later, although it is a much di_er star.
I got to find our friend over here now.

PLT That's the problem with trying to find something


in the optics, you can ... There, that it? I think
the best thing to do is to get.the thing to zero
to begin with .... zero. See if I can find it in
the other optical path. Try to find that ... The
other little star is leading up - There it is. I
got it. Okay. Here we go, running down the hori-

wrong star for Achernar. Have to do it over again.
... bright star over there and I'm picking the wrong
one, I think. Well, no; I haven't either. I had
the right one. I've just been picking it up with
the other optical path. Picking up Achernar in
both places. Thought I had the right one all
alone - ,_ke sure. Yes, I've got the right one.
A couple more on Achernar.

226 15 59 17 PLT MARK. 05.814 .... on Achernar.

226 15 59 32 PLT MARK. 05.429.

PLT I think I can _ive you some more on Fomalhaut.


It's way the beck up there. No. When we get
back Achernar will probably be down in two. Re-
arrange mF location here a little bit. It's the
angle.

PLT There's Fomalhaut; let's run her down to the hori-


zon.

PLT Here we got her on the horizon. Kind of screwy


angle to work at.

226 16 i0 42 PLT MARK 8. On Achernar, 0.597.

226 16 lO 58 PLT MARK 9. On Achernar, 0.641. I don't think they're


very good. It's getting too close to the Sun -
starset.

226 16 ii 15 PLT MARK. On Achernar, 0.707. Something wrong with


those readings. Maybe we are getting some
refraction though the atmosphere. That's probably
what it is because Achernar is presently between
the airglow horizon and the Earth's horizon.
Therefore, I think we probably ought to discount
some of those last readings. And we've got to
pick stars that aren't going to set before we got
done with the pass. See if I can find another
one real quick here. There's a baseball diamond.
Oh, getting all cattywampus here. I'm upside
down now. Hard to stick your feet through the ...
Flip them on, won'twork in the - in the light,
that's for sure. Better on the ceiling. There,
we got it anchored in the ceiling here. See if
you can see anything. I guess I'm going to have
to stick m_ warm body through the little hole in
the wardrocm ceiling. Well, looks like the Sun's
coming up. I see some reflection off the antenna.
So we're going to be out of business here _ttv
soon. I'll try to pick up Achernar and two more
stars the next time around. I'll pick up Achernar
and two more stars the next time around. I'll
pick up Achernar a little earlier, if I can. And
we'll get Diphda and Fomalhaut after that. So
this ends this pass right here and be checking
on around.

226 16 13 43 PLT This is Jack out.

226 16 21 21 PLT This is Jack on channel A once more. Another


comment on T002. The temperature at the end of
the run was 77 degrees. And I'd like to mA_e a
comment on using the stadimeter. It appears to
me that in Just taking ... stadimeter at the night
horizon that we could get better - more well-defined
night horizon for a stadimeter reading at night
than we can in the daytime. However, for putting
a star on the night horizon, the horizon is diffuse
enough such that you can't tell exactly where to
put it. I Just kind of nestle it in any reasonable -
looking place. And - However, for a stadimeter,
I think the night horizon is more well-defined
than the day horizon. In a little - a few
minutes we're going to give stadimeter a
crack on the day horizon again. I think what
I'll do is take another set of stadimeters
on the night horizon and see how the numbers
come out.

226 16 23 37 PLT That's all for a little while.

226 16 29 50 PLT Okay, space fans, here we are again. We're


doing the T002-4, with the stadimeter orbital
sightings. And I discovered that by using the
neutral density filter in there that I get a
little more better definite - little better
definition on the horizon. So I'm going to
84_ -"

use that for this set of sightings. And the


time now is approximately 16:30, and I'll
give you 15 marks Just as quickly as I can
get them.

226 16 30 35 PLT MARK. Number l, 4.036.

226 16 31 01 PLT I'll run it off a little bit and run it back
down. Want the center horizon higher than the
other two and then run it back down.

226 16 31 31 PLT MARK. 0ops. Wait a minute. Don't mark it


yet.

226 16 31 38 PLT MARK. 4.042.

226 16 31 h8 PLT I'll run it on a little bit.

226 16 32 17 PLT MARK. 4.011. Okay, run it off a little bit


again.

226 16 33 01 PLT MARK. 4.0h4.

PLT Well, the major problem appears to he that out -


straight out the window, the horizon is fairly
well defined; whereas out to either side where
the other ... the horizon is not well defined.
Therefore, you're matching up a well-defined
horizon in the middle with two non-well-defined
horizons at the sides. The pictures Just don't
match.

FLT Here we go again.

PLT I Just changed the focus on the eyepiece_


sharpen it up a little bit, but it's still -
has - Like the problem is complicated more
even now. Maybe it's better to have it more
out of focus.

226 16 35 16 PLT MARK. 4.014.

PLT Run it off a little.

226 16 36 08 PLT MARK. 3.993.

226 16 36 49 PLT MARK. 4.037.


t_ 845

PLT And the horizons we're matching up are the


uppermost part of the white layer. It's the
lowermost part _f the blue layer, before the
bl - blue diffuses into blackness. Lowermost
part of the white - the uppermost part of the
white layer. The boundary between the blue
and the white is what I'm matching up. It turns
out when I do that, why the boundary between the
black and the blue line up fairly well.

226 16 37 41 PLT MARK. Okay, B.975. Thought we had a round


orbit.

226 16 38 24 PLT MARK. 4.0 and 05.

226 16 38 56 PLT MARK. 3.972.

226 16 39 43 PLT MARK. 3.971. Okay, we had a little line curve


there. Looks like things are coming a little
better now.

226 16 40 44 PLT Had to readjust _y foot position here because


the horizon, of course, is tilting. There
we are.

226 16 41 30 PLT MARK. 4.022. I'm going to take the horizon


from a 180-degree position now. I am up for the
first 12 marks at the horizon with an eyeview
through the instruments_ the Earth was on top,
sky was on the bottom. Now I'm going to reverse
that, due to the geometry of the situation and
because I'm not double-Jointed for one reason.
Getting my feet stuck in a good spot here.

226 16 43 13 PLT MARK. 3.971.

226 16 43 54 PLT MARK. 3.985.

226 16 h4 20 PLT And another thing is you're not able to


stabilize yourself perfectly here in the - and
there's some motion in the stadimeter against
the window. Makes things kind of Jump around a
little bit.

226 16 45 13 PLT MARK. 3.906.

226 16 45 25 PLT That takes care of those 15.


846

PLT Hey, O., how much daylight we have left?

SPT ...

PLT Thank you.

226 16 45 39 PLT Okay, we got 28 minutes of daylight left; I don't


know why we don't go on with some more readings
here of some kind.

226 16 47 52 PLT Okay, space fans, Jack is back. We're going to


do another T002-4 here, stadimeter operational.
Then I'll knock off that; read it without the
filter this time. Least we'll try. Had some-
thing cut out all the diffused light, could be
an aid to find the horizon. Think that filter's
as good as anything. I'm going to put the filter
back in.

PLT Filter is again being used.

226 16 49 08 PLT MARK. 3.922. Use a little different technique


this time'in sighting. Instead of trying to
find the Earth horizon, I'll rather match -
match up the total picture that I see of radial
structure that is the Earth horizon and into the
diffused white into the blue and into the dif-
fusing into the black. I'll take this whole -
all those sort of sandwich layers and - and
somehow try to put them all together to - as con-
tinuous a picture as possible rather than looking
for the top of the clouds or any other demarcation
area.

226 16 50 02 PLT So we'll see if this technique works for me


better. Sort of the whole integrated altitude
structure will be matched up and lined up.

TIME SKIP
8_?

226 16 51 01 PLT MAR(. 3.923. One feature of the stadimeter that


makes that technique a little more difficult is
that in the _ outer pictures - well, I guess on all
of them, primarily on the outer ones - light is
scattered up the vertical line on the outsides of
the line, right where it meets the line allttle
brightening - well, vertical brightening on the
outside of both vertical lines. Hey, Hank. I'm
using the tape recorder. Let me know if you're
going to dump it, okay?

CC We don't have a dump scheduled at this pass, Jack.

226 16 52 12 PLT Okay, we're running off our previous reading a


little bit. Come back to it now.

SPT Hank, let me take a couple of minutes here to


explain for the ATM science room what our onboard
photography with this ti_ exposure camera looks
like.

/ - 226 16 52 26 PLT MARK. 3.955.

SPT ... with the XUV MON, we're getting pretty good
pictures now with the - using the integration
feature of the XUV MON. At the moment, by far
the brightest thing on the whole disk is the ac-
tive region associated - plage associated with
region 86. It's much brighter than anything else
on the Sun. It might be a little bit brighter
than it was yesterday, as a matter of fact. There
is a dark belt through the equator that is dark.
There is a band of longitude - about h5 degrees
of longitude from the west limb extending - that
ought to be from the east limb, extending from the
Equator up to the pole. Both the caps of both the
polar regions are dark. And another interesting
fact is we can see a number of bright spots still
with the XUV MON. I think, although ... - -

226 16 53 22 PLT MA_. 3.991.

SPT - - ... H-alpha feature, I think, that given a


little bit of time, like 3 or h minutes to go
find one of these points, we could locate it
reasonably well within say, 20 or 30 arc seconds
from the XUV MON picture, and then try to peak
_-_ up DETECTOR 1 or 3 on S055. And I think you
Q
848

have a reasonable chance in 3 or 4 minutes of


picking up one of these bright .,. Now the ,.,
Now the H-alpha pictures - -

226 ].6 53 54 PLT MARK. 4.029.

SPT - - H-alpha i suffers because ... we've mentioned


in the monitor. That's Jiggling back and forth
about 5 arc seconds with a period of about a second.
And that tends to smear these time exposures.
H-alpha 2, when we zoom into mAY ZOOM so we can
see the H-alpha detail, also has the same sort of
Jitter although the amplitude is a little bit
smaller and it is not precisely correlated with
the Jitter or wobbling on H-alpha 1. They are the
same sort of thing that we can see on H-alpha 2 at
max ZOOM. So it suffers a little bit als0, but
we can see reasonable detail. And ... some - -

226 16 54 32 PLT MARK. 3.950.

SPT - - of the ... And I guess that sort of suggests -


the XUV M0N information suggests two things. Active -
region 86 may look interesting if we have any extra
time. And we ought to be thinking about trying
to pick up some of these bright spots by looking
at the XUV MON and then going over to maximize the
DETECTOR. That's the end of this, Han_.

CC Thank you, Owen.

226 16 55 51 PLT MARK. 3.948.

226 16 56 36 PLT MARK. 3.984.

226 16 57 36 PLT MARK. 4.046. That one was out in left field.

PLT ... because the - It's going towards sunset and


the other horizons are getting more diffused.
The center horizon is ... diffuse. It's hard
to match them up.

226 16 58 19 PLT MARK. 4.0 - Yes, I'll work on this a little


more. That can't be right. It's not.

226 16 58 44 PLT MARK. _.022. I think I was reading that wrong.


It's probably 2.09. Well, we'll skip that one
and get along.
8_9

226 16 59 07 PLT When it's closer to sunset, it's more difficult


to match up these sandwich layers I was t=1_ing
about. We're going to have to go more toward
the horizon to try to pick that up.

226 16 59 23 PLT MARK. _.063. I think we're starting to lose it


because of the proximity to sunset. Time is
17:00.

226 17 00 01 PLT MARK. 3.922.

CC Skylab, Houston. We're about 1 minute from LOS,


Hawaii at 18:00 ... -

226 17 01 ii PLT 3.967. What I'm doing now in looking out the
window is because of the way the horizon looks•
I'm matching the top of the - As I look out the
window I can see that the lower horizon and that
the top of the clouds are not continuous from
one horizon to the other across the total
horizon. But that the thing that does look
continuous is the demarcation between the blue
f- and the black. So what l'm going to do is line
up those.

226 17 02 15 PLT I don't know what's going on, but the whole left
side of the center is black. Right - okay.
•.. filter's goofed up .... got her now. Got
the right tilt on her, I guess. Tilt her back in.

226 17 03 03 PLT C_ay, I'm going to have to knock it off because


we're getting toward sunset. Say, 0., how much
time remaining of daylight?

SPT Eleven - ii minutes.

PLT Okay, okay, we have a report that we've got


ll minutes of daylight re_-_uing and the horizon
is towards the sunset side, unaccept&ble for
continuing. We got 13 _*_ks here in the
T002-4, so I think we'll call it a day for T002 -
T002-h and press on to something else. I think
the filter was used. Time now is 17:03.

226 17 0h 03 PLT So we'll go off of the recording system for a


while and it might be to our advantage, if the
opportunity presents itself, to get some night
.... stadimeter orbital sightings and see how consistent
850 ....

we can be at night and that ought to wrap it up


for the dash 4's. I'ii go off the recorder for
a while now.

226 17 09 2h PLT Okay, space fans. "This is Jack again - channel A,


the subject is T002. And what I'm going to do
is a - a little bit of 6 Bravo - sextent opera-
tional sightings, and we'll use Diphda and Achernar
this time. I'm going to get the zero bias first.
So stand by for a zero bias setting. And I'll use
my old buddy Fomalhaut for that.

226 17 l0 12 PLT Got all the filters out to begin with. Okay,
there's Fomalhaut.

226 17 i0 50 PLT Okay, the first zero bias is 0.00 - 0.00h.


Temperature is 7_ degrees. Diopter is minus 1 point
- minus 1.25. Okay, the second zero bias
reading is 0.00_. Third zero bias is 0.002.
Fourth zero bias iS 0.00h. And fifth is 0.003.
Now we 'ii find our friends out there. There 's
Achernar well up. That must be Diphda Just
coming up over there. So we'll shoot Achernar.
It's up and to m_r right now. And I think before
we do that we'll play around with these filters
and the horizons and see if we can't improve the
definition of that horizon to some degree.

226 17 12 43 PLT Well, the 1.0 filter doesn't help. I doubt the
1.6 will be any better. No, it's not. Filters
don't seem to be doing any good. Yes, that
night horizon is very diffused. Going to have
to pick a point that seems like a comfortable
place for that star to nestle under the horizon.
I look off to my right. It's even less well
defined and that's where Achernar is. But I
think we'll proceed with Achernar and - I'm
going to have to find him first. He must be up
there about - _0 degrees. Old Sparkly's leaving
the spacecraft .... by thespacecraft. They
don't have any rapid velocity. They're 8.11
going at the same speed. Probably about - oh,
a couple of inches per second. They're not -
they're quite small; little pinpoints of light,
and they're all about the same size. And though"
there's not a whole lot of them, they're
drifting very slowly at - from my right to left
f_

851

as I look out the wardroom window in the wake


of the spacecraft coming up - up from above
somewhere. And if I look out there I can probably
see maybe about 3 dozen of them at one time.
The Sun's going down so I can't see them any
more. Let me talk about this to the guys for
a minute.

226 17 15 54 PLT Okay, space fans. Looks like we're going to


have to forget about this TO02 this pass
because the other guys want to get in here and
eat. In order to keep on schedule, they're
going to have to do that so I'll break it off
for now and attempt to pick it up later.

226 17 24 56 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A.


The subject is TO02 for Bob Nute, Bob Randle.
I have some data to pass on to you on Moon-to-
Moon sightings. I did four Moon-to-Moon sight-
ings - no, -,_e that five - six M_on-to-Moon
sightings to report to you. Okay, which one is
this - day 225. Diopter was a minus 1.2_;
_-- temperature beginning was 68 degrees. Zero bias,
five reading as follows: 0.003, 0.002, 0.005,
0.004, and 0.003. Here are the i0 Moon-to-Moon
readings: 0.515, 0.514, 0.515, 0.515, 0.514,
0.517, 0.515, 0.514, 0.515, and 0.516. Temperature
used was 70 degrees, no filter was used. The G_
for that was 19:30 to 19:40.

226 17 26 2B PLT Second Moon-to-Moon run, day 225. Temperature


was 70 degrees to begin with; Diopter minus 1.25;
the GMT was 19:40 to 19:50; no filter used.
Reading number i is as follows: 0.516, 0.517,
0.514, 0.515, 0.517, 0.517, 0.515, 0.514, 0.517,
and 0.515. Temperature used was 72 degrees.
Here is the third Moon-to-Moon run, day 225:
temperature beginning, 72 degrees; diopter,
minus 1.25; time, GI_ of 19:50 to 19:55. For
this particular one, I used a neutral density
1.0 filter and both are ... up at this pass.
Here are the 10 readings - one through 10 as
follows: 0.515, 0.514, 0.514, 0.515, and 0.516,
o.514,o.514,o.517,o.51_,and 0.516,

226 17 28 00 PLT Here is Moon-to-Moon run n1--_er 4, day 225. C_,


by the way, the temperature at the end of last
852

run was 73 degrees. Temperature beginning of


run - of run number 4 is 68 _egrees; diopter,
minus 1.25; GMT is 22:50 to 23:02; and the filter
used this time were the 1.3 and the 1.6, which-
ever goes with which optical path. And here are
five zero bias readings: 0°001, 0.004, 0.002,
0.001, 0.002. Here are the l0 Moon-to-Moon
readings: 0.51B, 0.514, 0.514, 0.514, 0.514, 0.515,
0.515, 0.515, 0.517, and 0.515. Temperature at
end was 70 degrees. Okay, here are some Moon-
to-Moon readings that took place on day 226.
Temperature beginning the run was 67 degrees;
diopter, minus 1.25; period of time was 14:20 to
l_:B4. I used a 1.6 filter in the lower optical
path. It turns out that the readings are
accurate but I didn't set up ... too much because
you got too much contrast. You get one bright
one and one dim one. Here are the five zero bias
readings: 0.002, 0.002, 0.000, 0.000, and 0.001.
Here are the l0 Moon-to-Moon readings: 0.517,
0.517, 0.517, 0.517, 0.516, 0.516, and _]I the
rest are 0.517. Temperature was 72 degrees.

226 17 30 18 PLT Okay, here's Moon-to-Moon run number 6; day 226.


Te_mperatures begin at 72 degrees; diopter, minus
1.25, the Greenwich time was 14:38 to 14:45.
I used the filter 1.O in the upper path. Here
are the l0 readings: 0.517, 0.517, 0.517, 0.516,
0.517, 0.517, 0.517, 0.516, 0.516, 0.514, and
0.514. Correction - make that last one 0.515.
Temperature at the end of the run was 74 degrees.
Okay, that's six Moon-to-Moon runs so far. That
ought to be enough.

226 17 31 16 PLT And one thing you notice about - some interesting
observation out the window. I turn my flashlight
on or put anything in front of the window, you
get four reflections; one from each side of each
pane. The closest reflection is a brass color.
I used my flashlight. Turn on the flashlight
when it was dark. Turn on the flashlight. The
color of the flashlight is brass. The first
reflection is a brass color. Second reflection
is a burnt orange. Third reflection is lavender
or very pale purple. Then the fourth reflection
again is brass with a little deeper hue to it than
the first brass reflection. That's it for general
interest.
_ 853

CDR °oo

226 17 32 20 PLT Okay, that kind of terminates the, well that -


the reflection with the flashlight turned
on. Now that completes the T002 for the moment
and we'll sign off for a while.

226 17 32 34 PLT That ought to be enough to keep you busy.

TIME SKIP

226 18 40 00 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.


The subject is M509 for Lou Ramon. We terminated
the charge on battery 6 and initiated that on to
battery 7 at 18:10. We also topped off both PSS
bottles number 2 and 3, and they're sitting at
2900 psi. And we Just finished that, that's
18:40.

226 18 _0 36 PLT So long, Lou.

226 18 45 40 CDR This is CDR, debriefing the ATM run. It went


nominal with one exception. After the - we passed
through the 400-kilometer time, the 344, I re-
turned to Sun center, before I closed the S056
shutter. So the last frame in PATROL LONG which
did not come about, as you know, was probably
smeared.

226 18 46 08 CDR CDR out.

NO COMM ON DUMP RECORDER FOR 39 MINUTES

226 19 25 30 CDR This is the CDR on - debriefing the ATM run here
just begun. I initiated the experiment about a
minute before effective sunrise time. And I'm
going to have to run those again. So I'll Just
go ahead and let them continue on now, and then
I'll run them one more time. That's the 56 -
I'll run a PATROL NORMAL later and 82A -

226 19 26 02 CDR I'll run another exposure, probably, and the


same thing with S05h.

TIME SKIP
854

226 20 55 57 SPT Okay. SPT with a little bit of information rel-


ative to 131-1 run, with the PLT as the subject.
It all worked fine all the way through all the
steps. The N 2 pressure is ll50, ll50. Now there
was a pad this morning, or a voice comment, that
said that there was something about not getting
the pressures recorded. Now, I did record the
pressure on, I think it w_s the first 131 run.
I hope you got it at that time. It was 1200,
1200 psi. So it looks like we're slightly down
at this point.

226 20 57 01 SPT Okay, no sense of rotating by the subject. Line


target did move left/right as expected. No addi-
tional comment, but I might Just repeat the comm-
ent from before. It was pretty clear that Jack
was drowsy. And myself as the observer got very
drowsy. I had a hard time keeping frc_ sleep.
It's the best dadburn sleep inducer we've got-_
onboard.

226 20 57 22 SPT Okay, we're going to the MS.

TIME SKIP

226 21 38 40 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. I've finished all my


assigned J0P building blocks. When I finished,
I looked at the shopping list and noticed that
under filament there was the possibility of tak-
ing - or desire of taking long exposures on 82B
on the filament. So I'm now taking a 5-minute
exposure on 82B. At the same time, I'm going ahead
with the 55 and taking a MIRROR AUTO RASTER at zero.
I thought maybe these two things might give you a
little bit more information about the fil,muet.
The reason I did not take any more PATROL 56 infor-
mation, it looked like we had all we could use there.
And I did not try another filter on 54 because
we didn't show one on that particular block.

226 21 39 40 CDR In other words, the shopping list item didn't


suggest that 54 would be interested in filament
information. If I get through in time, I think
I'll go give it a try on prominence 29. I'm not
too far away. And I've got the proper shopping
list out, but it remains to be seen whether I can _-_
get it.
"_'_ 855

226 21 40 03 CDR CDR out.

226 21 40 i0 CDR That information goes to the ATM science room,


of course.

226 21 44 51 SPT Okay, this is the SPT debriefing my own run here
on the first half of 131-1. In other words, the
0GI part. The little lines seemed like more a
disembodied floating line - disembodied from the
background than it ever has before. It may have
been because I kept my face in the 6oggles for
the whole time, eyes closed, everything a little
bit more precisely according to protocol. I did
notice on one or two occasions the line tended
to move up down or appeared to move up or down,
instead of always left or right. I also noticed
that very frequently the line will oscillate
particularly at the lower rpma lower rate. The
line will slip - oh, wait a minute, l'm not even
through with it yet.

226 21 45 42 SPT I still got another half to do so let me go back


and finish that and then I'ii complete the
comments.

226 21 52 51 CDR "*_ channel for the ATM science room, the CDR.
Just finished that pass, and I've already de-
briefed everything about it, either real time or
previously on chan A. 0nly one thing I didn't
bring up is at the end of - my assigned schedule
as long as I was on the filament, I looked at the
shopping list and ran an 82B WAV_W,_GHT, SHORT,
exposure 5 minutes. I then shifted over to
prominence 29, attempted to locate the high UV
energy I was picking up previously. Could not
do that. And so I ran a 56 PATROL, NORMAL. Now
before the PATROL, NORMAL was complete, we'd de-
scended below the 400-kilometer level. Also ran,
because I could not find this high energy, I
Just ran a MIRROR AUTO RASTER at zero GRATING
for 55.

226 22 00 31 PLT Okay, this is Jack on cb--nel A. The subject


is M131-1 on Owen.

226 22 00 42 PLT The nitrogen pressure is ll50 psi.

TIME SKIP

226 22 24 28 CDR This is CDR. And I'm debriefing the pictures I


took on S063, twilight airglow. I took them for
the SPT, who was performing an experiment. All
pictures were taken as advertised with the proper
frame, and the proper exposure time. (Music) I
was late on two of the pictures. The last two,
one that shouldhave gone at 29 - 21:59:35 -
really went at 21:59:37, should have been 38;
I'mnot sure. The one at 04, was supposed to go
at 22:05, 22:00:05, went at 22:00:07. The pro-
blem arose in having the dark cockpit, and using
a little light and trying to see mywatch, and
also set the timer. There's two ways that we
could eliminate the problem- three ways, pro-
bably. Just be better at it, expand the time
between the - the settings, (music) and - and
the picture taking, and/or add a little light to
the cockpit, so that you could see your watch
and the timer without having to use a flashlight,
or something like that.

226 22 25 51 CDR Now - now _ guess is that you don't want the
light because it causes reflection; I think that's
not so good. Msybe then the best way would be
to - for us to develop a little more proficiency,
or to maybe open up Just - Just so you have 45 seconds
to go between the pictures. I think maybe 45 sec-
onds for me would be good. And for the SPT,
0wen Garriott, when he runs it, he didn't seem to
have any trouble with 30 seconds. So I think we
got you some good pictures. And I think the times
are right.

226 22 26 27 CDR As I said, I could get them within about plus or


minus a second.

226 22 26 32 CDR Out.


857

226 22 26 56 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on chANnel A, debriefing


the 131-1 run with m_self as subject. Jack -
PLT was the observer. I did have a sense of
rotating at the high rpm. At step 18, I could
feel it - seat of the pants that I w_s rotating
in the other direction. However, I could also
see the OGI, and that, of course, confirmed it.
The line that dipped - ... once or twice, move
up and down as well as left/right. And I noticed
particularly at the lower rpm, lowered sense of
rotation, the llne would waver, left or right,
and then sometimes Just tend a little bit more to
the left or right, and that's the direction, the
sign that I gave it, if there was a tendency. I
would also Just mention one thing that may be re-
lated.

226 22 27 55 SPT I've noticed before and mentioned it to AI Bean


last night, who confirmed that he's noticed the
same phenomena, that when you're sitting quietly,
say in your b11nk, or Just sitting somewhere in the
dark quietly, there will be some sort of sense of motion.
You'll feel as if you're rotating or moving. And
my impression is very much like the 0GI, when there
is a sense of rotation one way or the other. And
these are Just sort of random motions, at about
the same period that line fluctuates, on the order
of half a second or so - period. And whether or
not these things are related, l'm not certain, but
seems to me, it's possible-that they are.

226 22 28 39 SPT As far as the MS is concerned, went the 9111 150


at 25 rpm with no symptoms. I do think there's
one other thing that's worth commenting on, ss_e
thing that I mentioned at 20 rpm. That is if the
gyro-tumbling Impression that I had in one g when
I nodded my head, as if the - as if there were in-
ternal gyros spinning and torquing around a little
bit and went on scop/Dex, this t_-,hling phenomena
damped out within a period of 2 or 3 seconds. I
don't notice that; I do not notice the tumbling
effect. I, of course, feel the centrifugal forces
on my head and arms and everything everytime they
move. But I do not notice the gyro effect, as if
somehow or other, the - that part of the vestibular
_pparatus is sort of disconnected. And that it
re-11y does not c_,municate itself as an unpleasant
• °
sensation the way it did in a one-g environment.

226 22 29 37 SPT And that's the end of my cc_nents.


I

226 22 29 55 CDR This is the CDR with more information on S063. I


think I'd have to say, on equating my accuracy, was
plus or minus a half a second, s_m_where in that
neighborhood, but I don't know; I'll have to do a
858

little bit more thinking about that. I did not see


any red horns as such, so I was not able to take
a picture of it.

226 22 30 16 CDR CDR out. That goes for the S063 experiment.

226 22 33 12 SPT SPT back on channel A, RECORD. One more item for the
131 group. The chair [?J is still ll50, ll50, at
the end of both of our two runs.

226 22 46 17 SPT Okay, SPT with a little bit of information relative


to the 131-1 run, with the PLT as the subject. It
_]I went fine all the way through all the steps.
The N2 pressure is 1150, 1150. Now there was a
pad this morning, or a voice co-_ent, that said
that there was something about not getting the pres-
sure on, I think, it was the first 131 run. I
hope you got it at that time. It was 1200, 1200 psi.

226 22 46 48 SPT So it looks like we're slightly down at this point.

226 22 47 20 SPT (_ay, no sense of rotating by the subject. Line


target did move left/right as expected. No addi-
tional comments. But I might Just repeat the com-
ment from before. It's pretty clear that Jack was
drowsy, and myself as the observer got very drowsy.
I had a hard time keeping from sleep. This is the "_
best dadburn sleep inducer we've got onboard.

226 22 47 42 SPT Okay, we're going to the MS.

226 23 06 24 SPT Okay, debriefing the 131-1 on the PLT, Jack as the
subject. All on the tape recorder, no hitches;
everything went exactly as planned. Went through
at 25 rpm - not only asymptomatic but Jack reports
being asymptotic [sic] as well. Asymptotic [sic]
toward going to sleep. Approaching that asymptotic
[sic]. And that's about all.

226 23 06 52 SPT We'll do the other one now.

226 23 25 16 PLT Okay, ATM fans, this is Jack on channel A, de-


briefing the 22:34 rev. As you already know, we
got started off on that in AUTO MODE of 82B and
we really wanted to be in time. You notified us
about that, which we appreciate very much, in time
859

to get a 33-minute exposure on 82B WAVE SHORT rather


than the 45-minute one. We got the rest of the
building block complete. The only comnent probably
that I should make on 55 is that on the final
MIRROR AUTO RASTER, we went into effective sunset;
on line 40, I let the AUTO RASTER complete itself,
and it was complete at 01:31 on the clock - so that
was approximately 2 minutes after effective sunset.

226 23 26 29 PLT Correction - 2 minutes after effective sunset.

226 23 26 45 PLT And we'll pick up on the same position on the next
rev. I'll get positions 4, 5, and 6. Now th@re's
somewhat of an ambiguity in the J0P there. The
little picture that we have before us on the 55
limb-scan diagram appears to me to be written for
a situation where you have the - where you're looking
at the right limb of the Sun as you see it on the
monitor. That is, on the monitor the Sun would
be on the left and the picture's on the right.
Looks like to me if you go to the other limb, why
that picture doesn'twork any more. And so there's
somewhat of an ambiguity in that picture. It works
okay for this particular pointing because we were
working in the manner I described; however, I guess
we'll have to watch it for - if we ever use it on
the - with the Sun pointing such that it fills the
right side of the monitor, rather than the left.

226 23 27 58 PLT So that takes care of that rev, and we ']i be up


again very shortly. Thank you.

DAY227(AM)

227 01 01 lh SPT Okay, we're debriefing the last run on the ATM
which Just finished at 01:O0 .... to the the
ATM planning group. And not too much to say about
the run. It went about as normal except that a
couple apologies are in order. First of all, to
AS&E for taking some extra exposures that they
didn't really want. I didn't notice that there
was a 54 omit on my pad until they called it up
further down. So I can't see that any particular
transient occurred. So probably you got that infor-
mation from a preceding orbit there, and I'm sorry
about that.

227 01 01 51 SPT On 55, your GRATING SCAN at position 5, which is


l0 arc seconds out, I cut down to 2 GRATING SCAN
in order to have a little time for the full 3
GRATING SCANS further out. On position 6, I there-
upon proceded to forget the step 4 steps out and
only went three steps out, which I noticed after
we were well into the 3 GRATING SCAN so I completed
my first grating scan at 15 are seconds off the ~
limb, slipped into MIRROR AUTO RASTER to be sure
to get all of it in, and then in the last 3 or 4
minutes of the orbit remaining, did an integrated
AUTO SCAN at 20 arc seconds off the limb. Part of
that was below 400 kiolmeters, but I presume they
can Just now look at the data and see about when
you should begin to get atmospheric effect and cut
it off.

227 01 02 49 SPT So I got at least one GRATING AUTO - GRATING SCAN


at 20 arc seconds off the limb for the better part
of the spectrum. The last part you may have to
throw away, but I'm not sure. It's - Jumping -
increasing a little bit on the solar observing
time at this point.

227 01 03 07 SPT So that completes the debrief of the last ATM


pass at 01:00. One more pass to go tonight.

227 01 04 40 SPT Now, one other note of interest to the ATM planners.
I'm comparing XUV M0N photographs taken - let's
see, about 8 hours apart day 226 at 16:35 and day
227 at 01:00. Now the bright points that appear
up near the polar cap are largely the same,
8 hours apart. In fact, as I look around the
disk, most of the bright points that I see are
visible in both pictures separated at 8 hours -
862 --",

a little over 8 hours apart. Now I don't have


the exposures exactly the same, of course, so the
least exposed ones will not have some of the bright
points that are apparent on the more heavily ex-
posed photographs, but all of the points that are
on the least heavily-exposed photographs - all of
the bright spots - usually show up on the more
heavily-exposed ones, suggesting that very likely
these bright spots are of celatively long duration,
at least somewhat more than 8 hours. And looks
like we may have a chance to look for them tomorrow.

227 01 06 02 SPT End of message for the ATM PIs from the SPT.

TIME SKIP

227 02 09 14 SPT Okay, back to this discussion on mobility aids.


Dome and wall handrails, I never use them. STS
handrails, I don't use them very often - take it
back ; STS handrails are used more. That 's our
principal means of locomotion back through there,
and I think they're very useful in that area.
And the same thing is true for the MDA. Shoe
cleats, triangular, those are basically what we
all use. I wear two triangular shoes all the
time and find it the most convenient thing. I've
not even tried putting on the conical cleats yet.
I may get around to it, but I haven't done so yet.
Water tank foot platform I find useful. I've
used it on a number of occasions on getting in
and out of dome lockers or up around there for
the TV work and so forth. The ATM foot platform
I always use. The portable PGA foot restraints
we use for the suit donning stuff, and we use
them to tie down our suits for the drying interval.
And so they're handy to have, and of course they
were indispensable on the EVA. Portable handholds.
As far as I know, we've never used them.

227 02 l0 27 SPT Stand by.

PLT Okay.

CC One minute from LOS.

PLT 19. Okay ...


863

227 02 15 05 SPT Okay, back on the M487 portable handholds, never


use them. Tethers, bungees, universal mounts :
universal mounts we do use. We have barely
enough, might not even hurt to have another one
or two, but they are used quite often. We used
them today, for example, for S063 camera which
is sort of an unscheduled use. Tethers and
bungees - I think we need more of those things
around here of various kinds - need to spend
some time Just th_nking about Just what they
ought to be. But we need these things that'll
strap across the front of our lockers in the
wardroom. And the ones that are on there with
these little wires are sort of dangerous - poten-
tially dangerous as they don't stay well or any-
thing else.

227 02 15 _8 SPT We ought to have things that are permanently


mounted there and designed into it and planned to
be used, and snap rings too. So those bungees in
there are very useful; the ones we've got are
only half adequate.

227 02 16 02 SPT ATM seat/backrest restraint - tried it once and


threw it away. It works a lot better to Just put
your feet in the triangles and stay there. That
dadburn chair does nothing but annoy you. You
try to sit down in that thing and you feel llke
you have to be strapped tight to it. You strap
yourself tight to it and then you can't reach the
panel where you want to; it's nothing but an
encumbrance. Pardon me, Pete, but (lau@hter) we'd
be better off without it. And let's see, waste
management and hygiene. Fecal collection equip-
ment, inadequate, but better I'm sure, than a -
than a bag would be by itself. In fact, once you
get used to it, it's not too bad. But there are
probably some design improvements that could be
made. Have to t=Ik about those at sr_e other
time.

227 02 16 _8 SPT Hand washer - if we have one on board I don't


know where it is. I know what you're t=1_ing
about, though; it's the one that's supposed to
be a hand washer; the only trouble is that you
can't use it to hand wash. You put your hands
in there, you try to pretend you're hand washing
864

and you splatter water all over the compartment


so all it amounts to really is a place to dampen
your wash rags and towels, and the whole concept
of the hand washer needs to 0e re-thought through
because the one we've got is not one at all.

227 02 17 13 SPT That lap strap is essential for the use of the
fecal collector. I wouldn't want to try it with-
out. The orientation is such that you do need to
grab hold of the handhold to keep from what you
would call floating up in one g, but it's toward
the overhead of the compartment. The handhold is
a necessary aid when using the fecal collector,
but the strap is absolutely essential. WMC hand
washer handrail- well, shucks, I don't know.
Hadn't thought that much - leave it there if you
want. The whole hand washer, as I talked before
is - needs to be re-thought through. Ceiling
handrail - didn't know there was one. Light-duty
foot restraints, lousy. The whole idea of foot
restraints in the head needs to be re-thought
through. Three of them are in front of the urine
trays where they either mess up the trays or have --
to be removed as we've done, and the whole idea
of foot restraints in there is very poor.

227 02 18 21 SPT Shower - we haven't even gotten around to using


one here because first of all we haven't had time;
secondly, we didn't think we needed it. So we
don't need it very often. Personal hygiene kit
should be personalized. Not this blanket,
cotton-picking thing that's got a set of stuff
that probably nobody wants more than 50 percent
of. They should have been tailored to each indi-
vidual. It wouldn't have been much trouble to do
that. Now we would have liked very much to have
the things that I want in there.

227 02 18 _5 SPT i'm still up here trying to figure out how to


trim n_f moustache, and it's been 18 blinking days.
And I'm still not sure how I'm going to do it.
As a matter of fact, I haven't even trlmmed it
yet, and until I figure out how, I won't. And
so I hope to figure out something. If I'd had
my own personalized hygiene kit I'd have had a
pair of either short tweezers - short scissors
865

in there like I have at home, or better yet l'd


have had a proper razor with a - with a moustache
trimmer on one edge or whatever they're called.
I thought one was going to be on board but it
apparently didn't make it. But the personal
hygiene kit should have been personalized, and
I think it's an oversight, a significant over-
sight, that it was not.

227 02 19 3_ SPT And I guess I got some more on food management:


wardroom table, not bad; thigh restraints aren't
bad; wardroom light-duty foot restraints, hardly
ever use them. Every time I put my shoe in that
triangle that's down there on the floor, try and
unlock it, it unlocks halfway and then I have to
reach down by hand, and get the thing twisted
right. It's the one triangle all over the space-
craft that doesn't work right for me. Food recon-
stitution dispensers work fine. Those things
really do a good Job. Water gun is great_ food
tray is fine. Food cans - well, some are good
and some are bad. The wet packs, I think, are
lousy; beverage dispensers are fine. Seasoning
dispensers are lousy -well, those salt things -
good grief! One-third of them have already been
cracked and leaked out, and the salt is therefore
caked. Whenever you try to pick it off you get
free salt floating all over. The next one-third,
when you try to open them up, you pull the flaps
back and then the salt sticks to that and you
squeeze them, and it squirts about 60 degrees away
from the direction you were pointing. So it either
goes all over your buddy or all over the tray or
all over the air. Now the final third you usually
get on your food, so they're about one-third
efficient and the other two-thirds are all over
the spacecraft. Very annoying.

227 02 20 _6 SPT I consider the only seasoning dispenser we've


got to be very poor, and we could certainly do a
lot better if we thought through. We'll have to
do that on the ground when we've got some time,
not up here because we don't have time to go
through all these things right now. The other
seasoning we don't even have. I've given up on
the pepper because my first attempt to pepper Just
managed to fill the compartment with pepper. I've
866 _

tried to put it away into a bag and every time I


open that locker I still smell pepper, and I've
given up on pepper even though - although I'd
like to use it.

227 02 21 17 SPT Any other seasoning is too much trouble to fool


with, and so I'm Just getting along without any
seasoning. Eating utensils are not bad. They
need a better place to stow them. That little -
my spoon flies out everytime I open the drawer.
Have to go retrieve it and have to Velcro it down
with that strap.

227 02 21 35 SPT Sleep restraints need some mods. Al's got a lot
of work done on it, but I sleep in mine all right.
It's not bad. Trash airlock, A1 always does on
his own. Vacuum cleaner, I've personally not used.
Wardroom table, I've not used it for any noneating
use. Tool caddy I've never put on; get along with-
out it; use my pockets. Portable fans, we use
those around a little bit for cooling various
things. Off-duty equipment kit, we got a tape
recorder stashed around; everything else we've
never used. Garments - I need more socks; that's
the only thing. I should have thought to bring
some up. All I brought up was some shorts which
I probably can use, but I should have brought
some socks up. Light baffle, haven't even put it
up. That privacy curtain I presume is the one in
front of each of our compartments and they're very
useful to keep the light out. Zowie, I am all the
way through and I'm rocking out for now, SPT out
on 487-something or other; it's page 3-3 and 4.

227 02 22 33 SPT End of message.

227 02 32 32 CDR This is the CDR and this goes to EGIL and I've
Just completed housekeeping 70D. It's on the
schedule for tomorrow, but I Just went ahead and
did it tonight.

227 02 32 40 CDR Let me read you the information. EPS - EPS OWS
temp, 72. Pressure, 5.1 Duct airflow, 500, 500,
and 550. ES - CS heater operation check, I checked
them, found the bus amps were 20 and 18 and per-
formed a complete check. Everything passed satis-
factorily. The only thing different when I got
867

down to EPS temp select, says temp 72 for Beta


less than h0, 75 for Beta greater than h0. My
guess is that now that we got this twin-pole sun-
shade, it's going to tend to be cooler up here.
And we'd like it cooler. I'd like to leave the
temperature down around 70, and that's what I
plan to do unless I hear from you. CDR out.
Message was for EGIL and concerns the housekeeping
70D.

227 02 33 3h CDR CDR, out.

227 02 35 25 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.


Debriefing the last ATM run. Frames remaining
as follows: H-alpha, 9033; S056, 3655; S082A, ll8;
S082B, 839; S052, 3537; S05h, 3526. Okay. The
panel is powered down for unattended ops with the
exceptions of those items which you included at
the bottom of the pad for the last rev. It
operates one frame a minute; door i, opened;
door 2, closed.

_- 227 02 36 19 PLT Okay, on the last pass, it went pretty much as


advertised. One minor problem was that that
filament 28 is almost invisible at the moment.
Passing over the limb and it's getting mighty
tough to see in H-alpha. I pointed it as best I
could. And did JOP 4B, step ll and - correction,
building block ll. JOP 4B I substituted building
block l0 for building block ll. And understood
your message, and we did it Just like building
block l0 said we onght to do it. So looks llke
the lh0 pass is complete and it's powered down
and she's all yours and we look forward to gett-
ing at it again in the morning.

227 02 37 14 PLT Good evening, gents.

227 02 37 36 PLT For the ATM world, one additional comment about
that filament number 28. It's, as I said, trying
to pass over the llmb and it's very difficult to
see. The other thing I noticed about it was that
there was no significant activity above it off the
llmb. there was no - no prominence visible in
H-alpha. So looks like filament 28 is not a real
hot filament these days and will be gone anyway.

227 02 38 Ii PLT Hope we can pick up a good ...


868

227 02 45 26 PLT Good evening, space fans. This is Jack on


channel A. Subject is T002 for Bob Nute and
Bob Randall. I _ot a star-to-star bit of sighting.
Th_at'll be n_m_er 4 star-to-star taken on day 227
at G_f£ of 01:15 to 01:30. Temperature was 68 at
beginning of run, diopter minus 1.25. Two stars
were Fomalhaut and Diphda. Five zero bias readings
follow: 0.003, 0.004, 0.003, 0.003, and 0.004.
Ten star-to-star readings follow: 26.788, 26.786,
26.784, 26.790, 26.786, 26.783, 26.788, 26.785,
26.784, and 26.783. Temperature at end of run
was 74 degrees.

227 02 46 53 PLT That's all of that for tonight.

TIME SKIP

227 03 2_ 26 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A. With a [sic]


exercise message first of all. This exercise
message needs to go to whoever keeps track of these
records. I Just reported over air-to-ground my ---
ergometer results of 2/30/5000. That was a slight
error; should have been 2/35/5000. In addition
to that, Mark I, mode A, 50 repetitions, Mark I,
mode B, 50 repetitions. Now the next message also
should be sent ASAP, as soon as possible, to
Dr. Paul Buchanan, to Dr. Bill Thornton, to
Dr. John E_mel and Dr. Ed Michels. I would appre-
ciate a listing of the amount of work done by each
of the three crew members in the last l0 days, by
day. And in addition to that normalized by body
mass. In other words, not Just a raw number but
in addition to the raw number, that number normal-
ized to the body mass. That will make the numbers
more comparative.

227 0B 25 33 SPT And in addition, we would al_preciate some comments


about all three of these compared to the amount
of work done by the SL-2, mission 1 crew members
during their last 2 weeks in orbit. And further
comment, I have noticed a continued loss of body
weight, and it's obviously not to my liking. How-
ever, for the last l0 days, I think you'll find
that I have been on essentially the - the pre-
scribed diet with little deviation except perhaps
869

some additional supplements to the basic set of


calories. It seems therefore quite possible that
I will continue to lose weight unless something
is done to my diet.

227 03 26 13 SPT Now, I'm not suggesting, in fact, I think it's


undesirable, to simply supplement my diet with
additional empty calories. I think you all can be
thinking very seriously about ways to modify my
diet in such a way as to add salt and add protein
to bring up - and calories - to bring up that
basic level. More sugar water simply will be first
of all unpalatable, and it doesn't seem to me to
be the desirable way to go. I expect you consider
the relative merits of adding sugar water to adding
something like protein and evaluate that better
than I can, but certainly by preference is to add
additional protein and salt and I think you ought
be considering ways to do that. I think my weight
loss should be arrested right where it is. If
anything, I should be gaining weight over the
next few weeks, instead of Just holding constant.

227 03 27 05 SPT And I don't think I'ii be able to that on the


present diet and I would appreciate your immediate
attention to this and any other comments about it
that you might have sent up to me on the telepinter.

227 03 27 16 SPT This the end of the message from the SPT, the first
part addressed to those interested in the work
measurements and the last part, along with the
first, sent to Drs. Buchanan, Michels, Bummel, and

227 13 27 47 CDR Okay, this is the CDR getting ready to do S019.


I've checked the Nu Z and it's 5.5, so we'll go
with what we got. I've now got the SAL hatch
open. I've selected a new film. I'm standing
by to enter it right now. And so I'll give you
a mark and we'll begin. That'll be a 270-second
exposure. And it's going to be on field 433;
field h33, 270-second exposure, and I'll give you
a mark on zero. ROTATION, 316.8; TILT, 8.5. Stand
by for a mark.

227 13 28 35 CDR MARK.

CDR Okay, we're beginning the 270-second exposure.


Everything looks okay. I'll look through here,
and see if I see anything out there.

227 13 29 22 CDR I'm not sure why I don't see anything. That's
opened; thing's adjusted; it's out. Prism - flip
the little mirror up. Prism's in. Maybe my night
vision's out to lunch.

227 13 30 40 CDR Okay. This is a night vision problem. Everything --


looks very nice. You got bunches of stars - bunches
of stars in there and they 8_11 look so pretty.
Okay, ought to be a good exposure. Okay, by the
way, that's going to be frame number 048, 048 on
star field 433.

227 13 31 02 CREW ... h891 ...

227 13 31 07 CDR One other comment. I've made it before. Every


time I open the shutter, shove the film home, it
moves the canister slightly. I do not touch it
then until it's time to open, so any movement would
be caused at that initial opening. My suspicion
is this will not affect the film. I hope that's
true.

227 13 31 26 CDR CDR, out, for a while.

227 13 32 55 SPT This is the SPT on channel A debriefing the last


ATM pass, which was an extra run that finished
about zero - 13:30. It finished about 13:30 Zulu.
And I did an item 5 on active region 86. I did
an item 9 off the southeast limb, 15 arc seconds
off the limb in a prominence - at least it looks
871

like the foot of a prominence at that point.


Believed to be because it arched out rather well
into the corona. Followed by a couple of attempted
bright spots. The first one, I think, was unsatis-
factory, but it was an item 8 Alfa and the coordi-
nates were a minus 10, 586.63 plus 933. I was using
as a reference an XUV MDN picture taken about
30 minutes previously, and it is a bright spot
right on the limb at a position of 260, 1.0. Just
coming around the east limb. And m_ first attempt,
I don't think - -

227 13 34 01 CDR Hey, 0. - (>wen? ... Hello, O.

227 13 34 02 SPT The second attempt was quite a bit better. It


was a minus lO, 586 plus 553, plus 761. And, I did
another 8 Alfa. Incidentally, that first 8 Alfa,
I did a MIRROR AUTO - mini - MIRROR AUTO RASTER
instead of a GRATING SCAN. I wanted to give it
a good share of it.

227 13 34 21 CDR Hello, 0.

227 13 34 22 SPT And the next one I did a double GRATING AUTO SCAN.

CDR Hello, 0.

SPT I was slightly off the limb apparently, and the


optical reference did not register. So it's
really a double GRATING SCAN running right off
through 5500. So with the second one, may very
well have been - -

227 13 34 39 CDR Hello, Owen.

227 13 34 h0 SPT - - And I want to go back and take another look


at that in a couple of orbits. You might also
see this coming over the east limb on your XUV MON
picture also, which I sent down to you over Corpus
Christi or Mila. Okay, that's about all for this
debriefing. SPT with information - with information
to the ATM PIs and planners.

227 13 35 02 SPT Message out.

227 13 35 07 CDR Okay. This is the CDR at S019. We got in a little


trouble there with the intercom. I'm going to
give you another exposure on star field h33, so
872 --"

we'll see what happens. And we'll have to go again.


I'll give you another mark.

227 13 35 42 CDR MARK. We're now going on a 270-second exposure


of star field 433. And it'll be frame number 049.

227 13 36 04 CDR Hey, 0.? I guess I should have given you a call.
I'd - (whistling). While we're running 19 and that
together, we're going to have to be careful that
we don't interfere with one another.

227 13 36 17 SPT ...

227 13 36 19 CDR I was supposed to give a mark and you were talking.
I couldn't get in.

227 13 36 22 SPT Oh, when we're debriefing like that and - it's
sporadic.

227 13 36 28 CDR You were talking.

227 13 36 29 SPT It's all right to ...

227 13 36 30 CDR Oh, okay. That's true.

227 13 36 31 SPT L ... for, you know, ...

227 13 36 33 CDR I know it. That was - right. I know it. Okay,
you're right. I should've Just given a mark and
let it go at that.

SPT ... debriefing.

227 13 36 41 CDR Okay, no sweat. We'll give them another one.


Okay.

227 13 36 44 SPT ...

227 13 37 14 CDR Okay, this is the CDR again. About that previous -
the first picture on 433, field 433. My guess is
the exposure length was about 300 seconds. But
that's not an accurate - that'd be plus or minus
20 seconds. We'll try to get you a better one on
this one.

227 13 37 37 CDR CDR, out.


227 13 39 58 CDR Okay, this is CDR with S019. We're doing field 433,
frame 049. Stand by for a mark as I CLOSE the
SHUTTER.

227 13 40 14 CDR MAEK. SHUTTER is CLOSED. Going on to the next


field. ROTATION 325.1.

227 13 _0 30 CDR Okay, ROTATION 325.1, TILT, 7.5. 325.1, 7.5.

227 13 41 I0 CDR Stand by.

227 13 41 16 CDR MARK. Okay, it's OPENED. Frame 50, 270-second


exposure, field 435.

227 13 _2 26 CDR CDR. One of the things that I like about your
pad is the fact that you sort of leave a little
space between the whole numbers and the tenths of
numbers. I don't know whether that's caused by
this decimal point, or Just the fact that yo_ skip
a space. But it sure makes a lot easier to read,
_-- simplerto set. I think the only other thing that
needs to be on this pad, right at the top, is the
earliest time you can begin taking pictures.
Because all I've been able to find is the time
that if you don't start by that time you're not
going to be able to finish by sunrise. I'd request
that maybe at the top up there, when you're talking
about Nuz, could you say maybe the next line under
it, say something about - you can start as soon
as - as such-and-such and the data will still be
okay. Because we're usually up here 5 or so
minutes early at least, and we might as well start
up early, and that gives us a better chance.

227 13 45 33 CDR Okay, stand by for a mark.

227 13 45 _h CDR Going to CLOSE the SHUTTER.

227 13 45 48 CDR MARK. SHUTTER CLOSED. We're now going for a


270 unwidened, so I'ii let the widening mechanism
stop. I'ii go over here, pick up a new slide,
move back to the stowage position. Got m_ watch
out, ready to start a 2TO-second one, the unwid-
ening mechanism pegs out. (Tone)
874 _

227 13 46 45 CDR Okay, the unwidening mechanism's about to peg out.


This is going to be field 435, 270 unwidened.
Stand by for a mark. It'll be another 3 or 4 sec-
onds as unwi - the widening mechanism hasn't stop-
ped yet.

227 13 47 09 CDR Okay, it has stopped. Stand by.

227 13 47 12 CDR MARK. Beginning of a 270-gecond unwidening, frame


051, field 435.

227 13 51 33 CDR Okay, we're approaching time to CLOSE the SHUTTER


for the 270-second exposure that is measured by my
watch. Four minutes and 30 seconds. Stand by for
a mark -

227 13 51 44 CDR MARK; SHUTTER is OPENED [sic]. Going to a 90-second


widened exposure. So stand by. I'm going to pick
up a new frame. I've got it. Standing by now to
OPEN the SHUTTER.

227 13 51 59 CDR MARK; SHUTTER OPENED. We're on a 90-second expo-


sure widened, timed by the widener on top of the
optical canister. (Music) That's frame num-
ber 052; we're still on field 435.

227 13 53 09 CDR Okay, stand by. We're getting ready to OPEN -


CLOSE the SHUTTER on 90-second exposure. Stand
by for a mark.

227 13 53 18 CDR MARK. SHUTTER is CLOSED. Going to a new field.

227 13 53 25 CDR 331.6. Okay, 331.6 is set. 20.6 coming up. 20.6
coming up. 17, 18, 19, 20.6. Okay, 30, 31.6,
20.6, and 270. Let's go for it. I'llgive you
the mark at the right time.

227 13 54 i0 CDR I'm in field 417. Stand by for a mark. Stand by.
Just picked up a new frame. Here we go.

227 13 54 32 CDR MARK. SHUTTER OPENED. Frame 053 and field 417.
We're beginning a 270-second exposure.

227 13 56 i0 CDR I'd like to make some comments to the experimenter


about getting these stars. I notice for example,
13:29 is is the time you called for a 270-second
exposure. The next exposure with a new star field
8?5

setting is 13:3h. That gives us exactly 30 seconds


to set up and run the next one. Now the next one
is a 270, a 270 that's 4-1/2, 4-1/2 that's 9 minutes,
plus 90 seconds which is 10-1/2 minutes. And then,
you call for the next one is at 13:45, which is
30 seconds allowed. Okay, there's a 270-second
exposure there, which is 4-1/2 minutes. And in
minutes later, fram the time we started, we're
supposed to be running the next one. Now you can't
do that. You got a h minute and 30-second
exposure and you're supposed to start the next
one in _ minutes. So something's a little bit
screwy there. Okay, we look at the next one.
It's got a 4-1/2 minute plus a 1-1/2 minute which
is 6 minutes. And the time you've allowed is
exactly 6 minutes, 13:49 to 13:55, if you have to
mRke a change. That seems to me that we got to
somehow open it up so that we get a little time
between these stars. One of these stars you got
30 seconds less than the time it takes to expose.
So my guess is we're going to have to be a little -
I know you don't want to waste a whole minute and
a half, so maybe 30 seconds is good. But any-
time - it certainly should never be under 30 sec-
onds. And it should never be 30 seconds less
because there Just isn't any way to pull it off.

227 13 57 55 CDR Sunrise is Just a few minutes away here, a few


seconds away, and I'm going to have to terminate
this exposure. Right time.

227 13 58 ii CDR So stand by.

227 13 58 20 CDR MARK. Okay. That was a exposure the right


length of time. I'Ii Just leave it right in
stowage. Now, I did not get the 13:49 exposures
or the 13:55. I'ii pass that word to the ground
and maybe they can schedule us for it later. But
we'll go ahead and get them in. But the whole
point of the matter is - maybe Jack can get these
things done faster, but I'm Just not abie to get
them in. I had to repeat one _-i/2 minute one
because of timing problems right at first. Now
I apologize for that and try to minimize that
sort of thing. But essentially I think we're
going to get all the exposures over the mission
here. And if you could Just give us a - make sure
876

that we got enough time between them. I'm looking


for the next set, and we got 22:48 for about 6
minutes and then I add 6 to 48 and get 54. So
suddenly we're supposed to start the scond one at
the same time we finish the first, with no time
to set up or anything else. At 22:54, I got 4-1/2,
1-1/2, to 6; 6-1/2 - we're Suppose d to start 7.
That gives us 30 seconds to change, plus it gives
us no time between exposures. So somethin -
something's got to give in here somewhere.

227 13 59 53 CDR Okay, that's the end of S019. We'll be back


at 22:48.

227 13 59 57 CDR CDR, out.

227 lh 23 36 SPT His left legband is going to be Baker King 3.6,


Baker King 3.6 on the left. His right band is
Baker Uncle 3.5. That's the reference band, Baker
Uncle 3.5.

227 14 27 03 SPT I have the serial number on the blood pressure


cuff is ii. Eleven's the serial on the blood
pressure cuff on the 92 experiment.

227 14 44 12 CDR This is CDR debriefing the - part of the pass.


I had the canister roll on 5400, and after that
Nuz update it turned into 5185. As far as I know
I didn't hit the roll or anything, I think it was
strictly the Nu Z update. So that's where we are
right now even though I don't think I moved it all.
This is for the ATM planners.

227 14 44 39 CDR CDR out.

227 14 56 19 CDR This is CDR debriefing the ATM run. The ATM run
went real well. Any comments that - anything that
occurred I did the comment upon them at the time.
At the moment, we're still running out 82B AUTO,

_ 8T?

and we have passedthe ESS. Now, normally, I'd


truncante it, but I noticed that the 82B f_lm was
Just supposed - long so I'll Just go ahead and run
it. It's almost over, and we're also about a min-
ute into ESS. Everything else is trucking along
Just right. And ... 82B stop so we'll Just close
shop, I think.

227 14 57 04 CDR CDR, out.

227 14 57 ll SPY Okay, SPY on channel A. Information on 92/171 run

recovery phase on the LBNP and I'm starting on the
cal check for the 171 run.

227 14 57 26 SPT The GAS PRESS - PRESSURE for N2, 02, C02 is 1446.

227 15 08 45 SPT Okay, channel A, the GAS PRESSURE of N2, WATER

227 15 41 16 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. I'm on the ATM panel. I've

they'd like to omit 54 so I'll finish this one and
then omit it from now on.

TIME SKIP

227 15 42 12 CDR Okay, I attempted to find target - active re-


gion 90. You gave me some hints - namely that it
was LEFT, 410 and UP, 250. I Just found what looked
like remnants of active regions a LEFT, 267, UP,
314. So that's why I'm doing _ work at the
moment.

227 15 51 Ol SPY Okay, we completed now the 171 run on Jack, and
the PERCENT 02 of the CABIN AIR is 71.91. WATER

is 3.97, and C02 is 2.14, and I'll have some blood


pressure measurements for you in Just a moment.

227 15 55 09 SPY Okay, here come the MANUAL BLOOD PRESSURE measure-
ments as compared with ESS BLOOD PRESSURE measure-
ments for Jack's run on 171. At the first work
level, MANUAL, 170 over 75; and ESS was 152 over
56. At the second work level, MANUAL was 170
over 60. One reading on the cuff was 240 over 47.
Now it was probably when he had a hold of the handle-
bars. Another time he had relaxed his grip there;
it was 198 over 53. At the third stage, our MANUAL
was 200 over 60. The ESS, when he was not gripping
it, showed 209 over 52.

227 15 56 lO SPT And one final one here a little later at the third
level, MANUAL was 205 over 60. And the best -
There were two fairly good measurements when he
had his hands off the handlebars. One was reading
200 over 50, the other one 218 over 92. However,
when you grip the handlebars, the blood pressure
goes right on up between 230 and 250. So you can
figure out from that what it means.

227 16 27 49 PLT Hello there, space fans. This is the PLT on chan-
nel A again. We're going to do a little T002.
And the first thing I'm going to do is get you
some zero bias sightnings and the time is about -

227 16 28 06 PLT MARK; 16:28 Greenwich. The temperature of the


stadimeter - correction, the temperature of the
sextant is 66 degrees; dipter is a minus - 1.25.
And what I'm trying to do tonight is to get some
star-to-Moon for you. There's a good star. It's
on the right side of the Moon. I notice the Moon
is not quite full anymore. But first off we got
to get some zero bias sightings in here.
879 "

227 16 28 53 PLT So I'ii run this sextant down to near zero some-
where. And use our old buddy Fomalhaut over there
for the zero bias sightings. The Sun has just set,
and the horizon's just a little bit light over to
right as I look out the wardroom window - a little
bit of light Shining on the - shining on the cone -
discone antenna and the solar panels.

227 16 29 38 PLT Okay. There's a zero setting. I'm going to point


it at Fomalhuat and get with it. First dial a set-
ting here first.

227 16 30 18 PLT MARK. Our first zero bias on Fomalhaut. Turn on


my little flashlight here so I can see something.
0.003, as you might have suspected.

227 16 30 40 PLT MARK. Number 2, 0.004.

227 16 30 55 PLT MARK. Number 3, 0.004.

f" 227 16 31 06 PLT MARK. Number 4, 0.004.

227 16 31 20 PLT MARK. Number 5, 0.004. Okay, l'm going off the
recorder for a while until I get our old buddy
Diphda lined up. And get one of my filters in
here. I'ii get the 1.0 filter that we suggest.

227 16 31 47 PLT And we'll go off the recorder for a while until
we get set up, find Diphda and all that business.

227 16 32 24 CDR Okay, this is the CDR debriefing the ATM pass.
There's really not a lot to say. It came off on
schedule, as I reported real time. I went to the
coordinates that the ground passed me, which were
LEFT, 410 ; UP, 250. I looked around for remnants
of an active region. Found some, at least what
I thought were some, at LEFT, 267, and UP, 314.
I went to that area and performed the JOP building
blocks defined by the pad.

227 16 32 55 CDR CDR out.

227 16 33 06 CDR This is the CDR again .... active region ...
and ... in that area were ... magnetic ... at that
point and ... center and -
880 .....

227 16 34 47 CDR This is the CDR on chan A. I'm not sure who this
goes to, but it's a DT0 called TEM i. I performed
it a few minutes ago, and l'd like to give you the
results. I'ii read you the temperatures from top
to bottom. Forward compartment A, rear of freezer,
67.0. B, rear of logic control box, 70.7. Now
I wasn't really sure of the logic control box but
I - it's behind the freezer and mounted on the
wall. That's where I think it was. Okay, those
were these three pipes. The first one, by the way,
was a rail running up the side of the freezer and
then one runs down the left side one. I picked
the midpoint of the right side one. It was a pipe
and I took the point Just below the rear of the
logic control box. Now it's conceivable since the
others say, "On heat pipe" that this really means
I should have taken it to - at the rear of the
logic control box. I think I'll go up there and
do that. But you can't get very far in behind
that flap. It's stiff and not a reasonable thing _--_
to do. Forward compartment floor, on heat pipe
below solar SLA, 74.1. On heat pipe to right of
VCS duct 3, 71.0. Experiment compartment on heat
pipe to the right of VCS duct number l, 70.7.

227 16 36 12 CDR The one that I think I may have had some problems
on is at the rear of the logic control box under
the flap, and I'll stick that in there. Probably
won't touch anything, but I'll Just read the num-
bers. CDR out, and I'll be back to tell you about
it in a minute.

227 16 36 27 CDR CDR out.

227 16 36 35 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A with a ques-


tion for Doctors John Rummel and Ed Michels. I
wonder if there's been any change noted in our
resting 02 consumption rate. Have they gone
down any, in any, in other words, or are they
essentially the same as they are at ground level -
or were at ground level? And the second question
is did you notice any indication of a change in
mechanical efficiency in pedaling the bicycle?
I suppose there'd be a tendency to improve if
there were a lower resting rate, but also a ten-
dency for lower mechanical efficiency due to the
extra work we had to do with our arms and head.
So I'd be very interested to know whether or not @
the mechanical efflciencies observed are essen-
tially the same as we found on the - ground level
runs preflight. And I presume that one of the
best ways to mention this or to indicate it is -
whether or not the oxygen-consumption rate is any
different at the given work levels that you read -
that we - that you see in the 171 runs. End of
message to Doctors Rl_m_el and Michels.

227 16 37 39 SPT SPT out.

227 16 37 47 SPT P.S. Perhaps you can send that up on a pad. It'd
be the simplest way to get it to us, in a short
teleprinter note.

227 16 B7 53 SPT SPT out.

227 16 38 44 CDR CDR again, on the results of attempting to mea-


sure beneath the flap on the logic control box
at the back of the freezer, near the wall. I
fL got 7B.I. This informationgoes to whoever is
interested in DTO TEM 1. Could be some sort of -
could be stowage. Could be someone else, but for
those interested parties in TEM 1.

227 16 39 iB CDR CDR out.

227 16 44 B8 PLT Okay, this is the PLT on channel A. We're finally


ready to go with this first star-to-Moon deal
here. We got Diphda right over the - the limb.
And I had to put in a 1.6 filter instead of the
1.0.

227 16 45 22 PLT The star is very dim compared to the Moon. Tem-
perature now is 74 degrees. I will attempt to
get a few sightings here now, before it - before
it gets too late.

227 16 46 06 PLT Can't say much for your lightweight headset. Al-
ways something in the way or it doesn't work.
Come out of your ear or come off your mouth.
There's a cork in the way. The little clip comes
off.

227 16 46 28 PLT Okay, I put both filters in on the Moon, now. It's
a very dim star. I've got both the 1.6 and 1.0
_-_ filter in.
882

227 16 46 55 PLT MARK. Mark number i ready 31.535. Maybe we can


do that again.

227 16 47 37 PLT MARK. 31.531.

(m_sic)

227 16 48 07 PLT MARK. 31.523.

227 16 48 54 PLT MARK. 31.530.

(Music)

227 16 49 39 PLT MARK. 31.528.

227 16 50 17 PLT MARK. 31.535. That ought to be about half of


them.

227 16 50 54 PLT MARK. 31.541.

227 16 51 47 PLT MABK. 31.567. Bad news. Make sure we got the
right star. We sure do.

227 16 52 47 PLT MARK. 31.584. I guess that figures. The Moon


is moving in relation to that star. Ain't all
going to be the same. Old devil Moon. There he
is. Hard time finding him sometimes.

227 16 53 40 PLT MARK. 31.584. Okay, two more. Then I got to go


to the ATM.

227 16 54 12 PLT MARK. 31.9 - correction - 31.697, I guess. 31.597


is what that was. And the last mark was 31.597.
Give you one more. That was at - That was in the
place before the - rolled against the zero.

227 16 55 22 PLT MARK. Last mark, 31.628. Well, I'll give you a
couple more. I have got Just a couple more
minutes.

227 16 55 56 PLT MARK. 31.642. The diner your star, the more
you're ac - accreat - the less your accuracy is -
Not the more. Diphda's a pretty dim star. Don't
have any good stars for this.

227 16 56 46 PLT MARK. 31.675. The brightest thing out there


is the planet Jupiter and then Mars. And -
'_ 883

Fomalhaut's the brightest star, but it's, I'm


afraid, on the wrong side of the Moon at this
point in time. Venus is out there, but it's worse
than Diphda. I guess we'll Just have to take what
we get and like it. Now that's all the marks we're
going to get on this star-to-Moon round this time.
Temperature of the sextant is 76 degrees and the
time is 16:57:B0. And this is the end of the line
for awhile.

227 16 57 47 PLT So long.

TIME SKIP

227 18 03 41 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A de-


briefing the last ATM run which - beginning at
17:09, 1910-2, I guess.

227 18 04 03 PLT Okay, the run was begun at 17:09. We got all the
building blocks accomplished; all the instruments
worked properlyand, you know, we had 54 running
then in building block 18 and in your change to
pad had requested that we also omit it, although
we hadn't transmitted it properly up here. And
we got it off on your call. Thank you for that.
Other than that, everything went along okay.

227 18 04 34 PLT And we'll see you later.

227 18 15 19 PLT Okay, space fans, this is the PLT again on chan-
nel A. We're doing some more of this T002 stuff.
And right now we're going to get some star-to-moon
on Diphda and the one and only Moon that's up there.
And according to my little timepiece here, the time
is going to be 18:15:45 on my mark.

227 18 15 50 PLT MARK.

PLT And I'm going to give you some sightings as long


as the angle's pretty well set in there. And I'll
give you zero bias at the end. Temperature of sex-
tant is 70 degrees. Diopter is minus a 1.25. I've
got both filters in on the Moon because it's too
bright. Washes out Diphda otherwise. There we
go.
884 _-_

PLT If there's anything we can't stand it's a washed-


out Diphda!

227 18 16 39 PLT Maybe if I change the diopter it'll be a little


better Diphda.

227 18 17 19 PLT Okay, lets change that diopter to minus 0.5 for a
while. See how that goes. It might give me a
little sharper Diphda.

227 18 17 51 PLT MARK. 32.111.

227 18 18 28 PLT MARK. 32.100.

227 18 19 Oh PLT MARK. 31.096.

227 18 19 53 PLT MARK. 31.062.

227 18 20 21 PLT MARK. My number 5 is 31.068.

227 18 20 51 PLT MARK. 31.063.

227 18 21 48 PLT MARK. 31.062.

227 18 22 27 PLT MARK. 31.072.

227 18 23 00 PLT MARK. 31.O80.

227 18 23 43 PLT MARK. 31.062.

227 18 2h 20 PLT MARK. The last mark on this set. 31.073.

PLT That's the end of set 2 star-to-Moon. And I be-


lieve we've got a little bit of nighttime left
here. Maybe we'll Just rip off another i0. Looks
as though maybe a brighter one ought to do it.
Here we go.

227 18 24 59 PLT MARK. Number i; 31.067. By the way, the temper-


ature is 73 degrees. Got both filters in the
lower optical path. Diopter is still at minus 0.5.
Here we go with mark number 2.

227 18 25 48 PLT MARK. 31.092.

227 18 26 03 PLT 01d Moon ain't moving very fast.

227 18 26 20 PLT MARK. 31.05 - 6 - 31.105. That's three of them. ___


f_, 885

227 18 26 h8 PLT MARK. 31.i01.

PLT Once 8_ain the star's Diphda.

227 18 27 36 PLT MARK. 31.124.

227 18 28 09 PLT MARK. 31.133.

227 18 28 18 PLT I want you gays to know that after I make all these
settings, I want you to be telling me where I am
and what my orbit is after every set.

227 18 28 29 PLT I want to see if this works. It's a good eye test,
I'll tell you that.

227 18 28 46 PLT MARK. 31.136. That must be about seven of them.

227 18 29 12 PLT MARK. 31.157.

PLT That one grew a little bit. Looks like it's


right in there, though.

f .... 227 18 29 49 PLT MARK. 31.163. Give you a couple more, and we'll
call it the end of set 3.

227 18 30 13 PLT MARK. 31.190.

227 18 30 52 PLT MARK. 31.212.

PLT Let me check that one and make you another mark
here.

227 18 31 21 PLT MARK. 31.221. Okay, we're going to take some


zero biases now. That's the end of set 3,
star-to-Moon. I'll give you some zero biases.
The temperature of the instrument is 74 degrees.

227 18 32 15 PLT Okay, that's near zero. Take your filters out.
In there, old buddy Fomalhaut. Wonder how it
ever got that name. I don't know anybody named
Fomalhaut. Knew a guy named Porkart. That ain't
even like FomA]haut. There he is; old double
Fomalhaut up there himself.

PLT No, it's not; Just looks a double one in there.

227 18 32 58 PLT MARK; i. Oh, I bumped it with my hand. I'll do


that one over again.
886

PLT You know what, space fans, I've done this whole
thing with this dang window protector in here. So
I'm going to have to do a run of 2 and 3 all over
again.

PLT It does m_ke a difference to have the window pro-


tector in. I found out that it makes a difference
of about 0.020..

227 18 33 5h PLT Well, cancel run 2 and 3 there, boys. Don't know
if we're going to have time to try it again or
not, but as long as we're zero biasing, let's get
with it.

227 18 34 07 PLT MARK. Doggone it, O.001.

PLT I'm bumping my head before I begin this. Take


that out of there, too.

227 18 3h 26 PLT MARK. Number 2. 0.OO1.

227 18 34 42 PLT Number 3. 0.000.

PLT Have to read the stars. That's enough to m-ke an


astrologer cuss, you know that.

227 18 35 03 PLT MARK. Oops! I bumped it with my th,-_. Got to do


that one over again, fellows.

227 18 35 lh PLT Number _ -

227 18 35 20 PLT MARK. Number h is 0.001.

PLT Pretty good instument zero-biaswise, but like to


see those optical paths lined up a little better.

227 18 35 38 PLT MARK. Number 5 zero bias is 0.000. Temperature


of the machine is 7h degrees.

PLT Run her up there to 20 - some - odd degrees or


whatever we had.

PLT That to minus a 0.5.

PLT I'ii probably get caught by sunrise here.

227 18 36 15 PLT - with luck on this time around. Fear not. We'll
get it done sometime, the good Lord willing and
/_ 887

the creek don't rise. If that happens, we're all


in trouble.

227 18 38 00 PLT Okay, here we are again. We're going to try it


again. I'm going to hustle a few in there on
old Diphda and the Moon.

PLT Make sure I did the - I can't tell these days.

227 18 38 50 PLT Well, guess what, space fans, the Sun's come up;
so we've Just blown a whole one here, but we'll
do better next time. Put this stuff away.

227 18 38 58 PLT Going to be gone for a while now.

227 19 17 lO PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. Sub-


Ject is M509. We're starting MO - M509-2 at this
time; it is now 19:17. We are terminating the
charge of battery 7.

227 19 17 25 PLT We'll be talking to you later.

_ 227 19 35 25 CDR This is the CDR. We're getting ready to start the
509 now, and I've been doing some thinking about
it from my run yesterday. Two things become very
obvious to me after yesterday's run. One, we don't
need all this preciseness that we've got in 509 for
attitude control. We don't need to be - have
something like RATE GYROS or CMGs because there's
Just no task that I can think of where you - you
want to hold yourself so neatly and precisely in
space. Everything - every task that I've seen us
do EVA so far are - kind of think about the pos-
sibility in the near future - is a strictly
go-to-and-from thing. Maybe you go and get in, or
you go and hang on, or you go and ... But, in any
case, what you - what you don't need is, particu_
larly, precise holding capabilities, so it seems
obvious - or it seems probable that we've - if we
built the maneuvering unit for outside, we'd want
to get rid of that and Just have something like
DIRECT.

227 19 36 37 CDR The second thing is you want something that flies
• pretty much like the equipment you've been flying
with all along, mainly spacecraft and airplanes,
which sort of eliminates the _. You're re-
888 _-_

stricted there; your chances of fouling it up are


good. And Just having the same old hand controller
translational controller that we have, Just like
you have in a spacecraft or an airplane, seems to
me to be the obvious way to go.

227 19 37 01 CDR And last, or third, although I Just said there were
two, is.you need to get on with it. This thing
flies awful slow and I guess in some respects that's
okay; EVA, say, you want to save the fuel. But
it's - what you - or I think you'd want to do with
a maneuvering unit is get something that you can
go a little faster at the expense of having precise
control. In other words, there's always a tradeoff
there. Where to put the weight. The weight
shouldn't be in things like rate gyros and CMGs.
It should be in things like little bigger thrusters,
maybe? No, that's not a good idea. The thrusters
we've got are adequate in size. It should be in
increased fuel supply so you can go faster.

227 19 37 45 CDR So I guess the big three are: Get something that
gets there faster - doesn't take so long. Second, _
get something that's simpler - plain old direct.
And third, get something that flies like a space-
craft so that your intuitive motion and controller -
controlled responses to attitude errors and trans-
lational errors are correct. And we'll go fly it
now and I'll give you some more comments later.
CDR out. That's for Ed Whitsett, Lou Ramon, and
Bruce McCandless.

227 19 38 21 CDR 509; CDR out.

227 19 45 49 CC Skylab, Houston. We're 45 seconds from LOS. We're


going to see you at Guam at 20:25.

227 19 45 57 SPT Okay, SPT on channel A debriefing the last ATM pass.
Much of this I've mentioned on - on the real-time
down-link. At the start of the rev, I did look for
a bright spot and I believe that I found one over
towards the east limb. I have link - voice-link
recorded to the ground a ROLL, minus 10,800; and
RIGHT, plus h00; DOWN, minus 800 - 089 - 89. Now
on DETECTOR 3 which reading says zero, the contrast
was really remarkable all the way up to 1200 to
1400 counts. It went off at this point. A few
arc seconds away it would drop down to Just a couple
889

hundred counts. And in the background nearby it


was as low or lower than i00 counts. Absolutely
no signature in H-alpha. Nothing could be seen
there. I put all this stuff on TV, incidentally;
it's about a 60-second VTR segment showing all the
H-alpha and the XUV _0N with variable integration
times. Even threw in a little bit of white light
coronagraph a little later on Just to keep
Bob MacQueen happy. But back to the bright point,
it looks like a pretty good one and, from the XUV
MON Polaroid photographs, it looks as if there are
three of four bright points within, say, an
arc minute or so of that location.

227 19 _6 2_ SPT Now at the end of the orbit - the last Just couple
of minutes after I'd finished everything else, I
moved the GRATING to 1941, which is magnesium l0
on DETECTOR number 3. And I went back to the same
coordinates and flew it around there a few
arc seconds all the way around and could see no
enhancement at all at 1941 GRATING position. So
we'll see, on the first of the next orbit, whether
.... that holds true. But if so, it m_y be the coronal -
not the corona - coronal lines that are providing
this enhancement, but something lower down in the
chromosphere. So we'll Just have to keep our eye
on that and I'd appreciate any comments you might
have about what you think of this, whether or not
it does appear to be at a somewhat lower altitude
at which the small bright points are originating.
I followed that with the building block 2, Sun
centered, as specified.

227 19 48 17 SPT I'm interested in doing 90, which was scratched for
86, which was scratched for the new active region.
I did point to those coordinates which were
up-linked from the ground. And I think they were
B0 and 500, or something like that. Yes, UP, 30,
and RIGHT, 500. And when I got there, I could
really see no signature in H-alpha. But I did go
through a building block ll Just in case there was
something I couldn't see and provide us with a
little background information for later use. I
then tried to pick up this 12-D, which I had pur-
posely skipped, and I did have time for the
10-second and the 40-second exposure but not quite
enough time for the 2 plus 40. So I did not com-
plete 12-D with the 2 plus 40 exposure and, if
890 , _-_

you're concerned about that, why you might ask me


to reschedule another one. And then at the end,
I took another look at that bright spot, as I men-
tioned before. That's the end of the debriefing
for that last orbit.

227 19 49 13 SPT End of message for the SPT.

227 19 59 18 PLT Run 1. No, we're in run 2. Okay, space fans; this
is Jack on channel A. The subject is M509-2. A1
has donned the ASMJ and he's left the donning
station. He's floating upward at a controlled rate.
Okay. Receiver data is in NORMAL; ID-1. He's
verifying all co,hands at this time. There he goes.

227 20 00 Bl PLT Okay, he's verified all thrustors. Okay. Go to


CMG and verify all ROT CONTROLLER commands.

227 20 01 15 PLT Okay, CMG and then RATE GYRO, verifying all
commands.

CDR ...

PLT What?

CDR ... on....

PLT Okay. He's now upside down in the workshop.

PLT Verifying his THC commands. Okay. You're supposed


to be in RATE GYRO and verify CAGING light on, then
off. Fly to the donning station. Stationkeep at
the handrails and data mark. Okay, he's in the
RATE GYR0 MODE now. He's rotating to an upright
position while proceeding to the donning station.
He seems to be well under control, at least as much
under control as usual.

CDR A lot more than yesterday.

PLT He claims he knows what he 's doing. He 's coming


into an upright position, slmost facing the donning
station at this time.

227 20 03 33 PLT Glad I had my goggles on there.

CDR l'm glad you did, too.


891

PLT (Laughter ) Okay.

CDR Okay.

PLT I wanted to get underneath you here. That's what


I was on my way to when I got in your way.

CDE ... right.

PLT All right. I'm going to ID-2. No problem. Noth-


ing hurt. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and
all that stuff. No, I've Just got to stay over
here. Okay.

227 20 03 58 PLT DATA MARK. MODE, CMG.

227 20 04 04 PLT DATA MARK. Okay, he's going to MODE, CMG. Fly as
on the six-degree-of-freedom simulator but with a
rate typical of an EVA mission and be consistent.

227 20 04 19 PLT DATA MARK. Start at donning station and fly to


points i through 5.

227 20 04 36 PLT Meanwhile, the intrepid PLT gets the camera out.

CDR ...

227 20 04 45 PLT Yes, it is. Must have thought it was, anyway;


f/5.8. There he's flying up to the banjo. Bet I
can get there before you can.

CDR ... stand by ...

PLT Yes, we've got to have that in operate. Nothing -


nothing wrong. It's Just that we don't have our
little boots [?] in there.

227 20 05 31 PLT DATA MARK at the banjo. Now flying down to the FMU
number 2.

PLT I beat you.

227 20 05 55 PLT Here he comes, space fans.

PLT Give me a smile:


892 -_

227 20 06 50 PLT Okay, he's stabilized himself now at the FMU-2.


He's now leaving FMU-2, translating and rotating
slowly but surely, blowing everything all over.

PLT Heading for the dome locker.

227 20 08 13 PLT He's there. He's at the dc_e locker. Now he's
rotating around.

PLT Maintaining all the while 6 to 8 inches from the


dome lockers, smoothly translating and rotating.
No apparent difficulty whatsoever. Slowly but
surely.

227 20 09 45 PLT Okay, he's passing locker 424. He's underneath the
condensate tank now. Watch head'

227 20 lO 32 PLT There he is, stabilized at 432. Now backing off.


Heading for the donning station, rotating to his
left.

PLT (Whistling) Here he comes, space fans.

PLT Smug, nothing ... look on his face.

227 20 ll _7 PLT After baseline in CMG, cage the CMGs in RATE GYR0.
He's stationkeeping into donning station now.

227 20 Ii 58 FLT DATA MARK.

227 20 12 01 PLT Cage the CMGs in RATE GYR0. CMG POWER, OFF.

227 20 12 16 PLT Okay, he's in RATE GYRO. MODE - MODE, DIRECT. He's
caging the CMGs.

CDR ...

PLT Huh?

CDR See ... to RATE GYRO ..o

PLT Okay, he's waiting here to see what happens to his


RATE GYRO.

CDR ... here.

PLT A few bursts in RATE GYRO. Now he's in DIRECT.


Repeat the baseline.
if-
_ 893'

CDR ... bursts ...

227 20 12 54 PLT DATA MARK. He backed off from the donning station
in DIRECT.

227 20 13 07 PLT Heading for the banjo.

227 20 13 30 PLT Okay. He's at the midpoint in the workshop, still


rotating to his right, translating toward the banjo.

PLT There he is up at the banjo stabilizing himself.

PLT Now backing off. Getting ready to come down to


FMU-2.

PLT Rotating on his left side. Nice smooth coordinated


maneuver. All in the center all the while.

PLT Keep that turning back indicator in there.

PLT Look this way. Don't quit looking. Here you go.
No.

PLT Got you.

227 20 15 34 PLT Moving his legs around now like on a teeter-totter.


He came back to where he was. This is all the
scientific co,unity predicted.

PLT Stabilizing at FMU-2.

227 20 16 24 PLT DATA MARK. Now he's backing off. Whoo' I'm having
more fun than he is. That's enough of those Nikon
photos.

227 20 16 55 PLT Translating up to 4Oh, where he sees the gray tape


on the locker.

227 20 18 26 PLT Okay. He's smoothly translating around the dome


lockers at this time, 6 to 8 inches from the lockers
with the forward ... of the hand controller, having
no problem controlling his rates or attitude. He's
got a nice constant rotation rate up -especially
designed for ... translation around the circular
track. Doing an extraordinary Job. Now passing
underneath the condensate tank. Upright position.
Feet about 6 to 8 inches from the blue ring under-
neath the wall - the water tank.
89_

PLT Head Just clearing the condensate tank.

227 20 19 43 PLT Stabilizing himself in front of locker 432. Now


backing away and down. A little left yaw. Backing
away and down; left yaw. Got a little right roll
out of that somehow - which he's now taken out.
Okay, he's right over the hatch to the crew quarters
area.

PLT He's nearly completed his rotation. He's in the


perfect attitude for making it - making it to the
donning station. Stops his left yaw. Facing the
donning station. Translates - translates smoothly
and neatly toward it.

227 20 20 50 PLT Stops at the donning station. And he hangs on the


donning station rail to take a little blow here.
Feel the inertia of the machine on his back. We
got 1400 pounds of nitrogen and 29.4 volts.

227 20 21 37 PLT Doesn't seem to have any problem holding onto some-
thing and moving around with that weight on his
back. Okay. Repeat the baseline in MODE gy -
RATE GYRO - of which we have more than 750, which
is required.

PLT He's on his way.

227 20 22 22 PLT He DATA MARKED.

PLT Picked - the kid - picks out a checklist ring out


of mid-air. Puts it in his Junk pocket. Now facing
the banjo. Two-thirds of the way to it. He's ris-
ing to meet the banjo. Junk drifting all over the
workshop.

227 20 23 22 PLT Okay. He's stabilized; now backing off of the


banjo. Heading for FMU-2. He puts in some left
roll. Translating downward. Looking over his left
shoulder. Now putting in a little more left roll.
Sliding smoothly and neatly - into position.

227 20 24 3h PLT (Whistling) Okay, there he is. Stabiiized at


FMU-2. Now he's backing away. Heading for his next
checkpoint, which he knows so well. Moving upward
in the workshop in a plane parallel with the water
tanks. Rotating with - to his left with his back
895

toward his target, looking to his left. He's ex-


actly upright - vertical. Blowing stuff off of the
workshop screen. Rotating to his left to make it
to his target. He seems to be under complete con-
trol, using a - a different set of circumstances
to get himself where he wants to go, but having no
problem.

227 20 25 43 PLT Okay, there he is. Stabilizing himself in front


of 404. A little bit pitched back.

PLT Now operating stabilized in front of 404. Trans-


lating to his right, moving around the dome lockers.

PLT Somehow got a little right roll out of that last.

227 20 26 57 PLT And a half-centered right turn. Proceeding as be-


fore to 432, 6 to 8 inches from the dome lockers
with the leading into the han- leaning into the
hand controller. Now flying in a little closer
to the - 3 to 4 inches. No difficulty whatsoever
passing underneath the condensate tank, in front
_-- of the fire hose. Nice rotation right. Now he's
stopping his translation. Blowing his overage
food all over. Stabilized - backing off and down -
off and down; yaw - yawing to his left.

227 20 28 O1 PLT Okay, he's yawed halfway around. Approaching the


side of the workshop. Nice align towards the
donning station.

227 20 28 42 PLT There he is, space fans, in front of the donning


station. We knew he could do it. Give him a 'Well
done." One thousand psi, which is enough for the
freestyle maneuver.

PLT Okay, he holds on the donning station for a moment.


Locks his foot around the foot-rest. Turns the
page in his cuff checklist ; reviews the next event.

CDR Okay, you might tell them the freestyle maneuver


• .. push off. Get the first ... DIRECT - Try to
fly it ... the space station ... without using ...
bursts under ... I could ....

PLT In other words, you're going to translate with your


hands and rotate with your hand controller.
896

CDR I'm going to try - try to do it with minimum fuel


in DIRECT.

227 20 30 04 PLT Okay, for the freestyle maneuver, space fans, he


is going to try it - he is going to fly DIRECT and
he is going to go on minimum fuel configuration.
Just puts off - push off in - in DIRECT and he is
now in control to get where he wants to go. Wait
a minute before you do that. We're going to ID-2.
Well, we've been in 2 all this time. I guess I
changed it earlier. Well, we're supposed to be
in 2; that's where we belong on the baseline ma-
neuver. We remain in ID-2. That's a verify, Just
like Lou Ramon said it was.

CDR Let's give it a go.

227 20 30 52 PLT Okay, he says let's give it a go. I'm staying out
of the way. MODE to RATE GYRO, it says. He ain't
doing it in RATE GYRO; he's doing it in DIRECT.
Okay, he's going to pick a point, which is the
banjo. He pushes off! There he goes_ He pushes
off with his hands; no control. He got a little
too much yaw, so he's correcting it with his atti-
tude controller with a little right yaw, a little
pitch up. Okay, he stabilized his attitude now.
And he is floating directly toward the banjo, with-
out having to use his THC. Hands off the THC. He
puts his hands out; he stops himself at the banjo,
puts his feet out before the ASMU touches the wall.
He has stabilized himself at the banjo. He looks
down at the FMU.

227 20 31 50 PLT He gives it a DATA MARK. Pushes off with his hands
and his toes. Uses attitude control, a little bit
of aft thrust. Aft thrust.

PLT Right thrust. Now he is - using the THC a little


more to get himself next to something he can grab
onto. Attitude is fairly well stabilized now.
Hands off the control, and he's about a foot and
a half from the FMU. He grads it - grabs it with
his hands and deftly pulls himself to the FMU Just
like he's in love with it. There you are, A1, baby.
He is there.

227 20 32 47 PLT DATA MARK. Hanging onto the FMU, he rotates himself
to the right, yawing to the right a little bit
"_ 897

looking up over his shoulder so he can see where


the dome locker 40_ is. Now he is easing out to-
ward the PSS. He pushes off, using his left hand
to give himself a little bit of - give himself
some - CMG command to - further point himself in
the right direction. And he reaches out and touches
dome locker 40_, a little - another little thrust
up. Touches the locker, a little thrust forward.
Rotational hand controller to orient himself to the
proper direction. Not much to grab onto there, but
he grabs the top of locker h06 and _04; stabilizes
himself in the upright position. Okay, hands on
both lockers and above the ring above the locker
now.

227 20 33 57 PLT DATA MARK; he eases himself hand over hand around
the ring, being careful not to permit ASMU to touch
the locker. He uses hand over hand and around the
ring over to h32.

227 20 34 31 PLT Okay, he's able to get himself over there with a
minimum amount of difficulty. Stops in front of
_ h32, not having fired a thruster.

227 20 3_ _3 PLT DATA MARK. Looks back over his left shoulder to
find out where the donning station is. He sees
it. Stabilizes himself in front of the dome locker
and pushes off with both hands. Yaws left, trans-
lating do_mward, gives himself aft thrust. Aft
thrust. Now he's going to back in to donning sta-
tion it looks like. He is sideways to the donning
station at this time, left side toward it. He looks
like he is not going to back in; he is going to go
in front first. Yawing to his left, backing off
with the THC, coming neatly into the position in
front of the donning station; grabs up, reaches
the handrails and stabilizes himself, with a -

227 20 35 32 PLT DATA MARK.'

CDR That might have cost more fuel than Just flying it.

PLT You think that might have cost more fuel than Just
flying it; that's kind of the same thought I had,
in listening to you. So my - -

CDR If you flew it slower with more control, you'd


/_ probably be in better shape.
898

PLT You think if you flew it slower and then - with


more control, why you'd probably be in better shape.

CDR Okay, we've got - about ... gas to try it. They
want a RATE GYRO freestyle ..°

227 20 36 03 PLT MODE to RATE GYRO now. He's going to - fly free-
style maneuver in Just a minute. The kid checks
the pressure. The kid says it's 600 psi, which
ain't much, which is less than he needs for free-
style maneuver, but he can do it conservationally.
He'll be able to use up that ... He backs off'
There he goes' That's RATE GYRO, I can tell. He's
pitching down, pitching down to get to the banjo,
which is new: A brand new mode of translation.
He's in the middle of the workshop. He is parallel
with the water can. Completely upside down. Okay,
he's still pitching up. Parallel to the workshop
floor, heading toward the near dome locker, upside
down, banjo position. He is going to reach the
banjo upside down, Just as he had intended. Feet
up towards the OWS hatch, facing the banjo, stabi- _-_
lizing himself, multiple thruster firings ; looks
over his left shoulder. Down to FMU-2, which is
over - down by your right cheek.

227 20 37 48 PLT Okay, upside down at the banjo. He backs away from
the banjo; he yaws to his right. Slowly but surely
translating, now facing the condensate tank.

227 20 38 09 PLT Now he is just about on his side with his head
yawed to the right, along the plane of the work-
shop floor.

PLT Standing by for PSS change and battery changeout


after this.

227 20 38 _9 PLT Your feet are going to hit the blue ring, A1. Pull
them in - attaboy; there you are. Okay, he's -
approaching FMU-2, 180 degrees out of his normal
FMU-2 position, his feet toward the film vault.
And head by the minus-Z SAL facing FMU-2. His right
side pointing down toward the PSS bottles. Seems
about 1 foot and a half from FMU-2 at this point.
He backs off; there he goes. Satisfied with his
position at FMU-2, he backs off and yaws to his
left, looking over his left shoulder for F fo -
899

F-404. Now yawing to his right ; 4 feet over the


workshop floor. Going completely inverted, com-
pletely inverted over workshop floor' He rises
toward the top of the workshop. Now yawing to his
right a little bit, facing the f_]m vault upside
down, as they say in one g. Okay, he is going to
come to the F-404 completely upside down. He has
a]_st yawed completely to his right to do so.
Doing a beautiful Job of upside down - motation
[sic ].

CDR Which side am I supposed ...?

227 20 40 43 PLT The end to where you want to go - you go to your


left. That's - that's right, your left. That's
the way. He's upside down in front of the work-
shop dome locker h04, about 1 foot from the dome
locker. Now translating to his left upside down,
in a ring parallel with the plane of the dome locker.
Moving over to 432. Undaunted by his inverted
position, he proceeds slowly but surely. Motating
[sic] as he goes, firing the thrusters, too.

CDR ...

227 20 41 36 PLT Doing an unfam_ liar maneuver, as he says. From


all intents and purposes, that looks completely
familiar to him, intrepid test pilot though he
may be. Okay, Tango Papa, watch your feet on the
condensate tank; attaboy. You're going to Just
clear it, maybe. You might clear it. Give your-
self a little aft thrust. Just a little aft thrust,
a little more - aft. That's a boy. He cleared
the condensate tank handle by no more than a
quarter of an inch. Aft a little more- aft a
little more, more yet, about 6 inches to your
aft. Okay, a little more aft, a little more yaw
to your - something or other to straighten her up.
Okay, he's got his left leg a little bit touching
the condensate tank. He's go_6 a little rate gyro
thruster firing out of that, but not bad. Now
he's passing. He is stabilizing himself - inverted,
ladies and gentlemen, in front of 432.

227 20 42 46 PLT What will he do next? What is there left to do?


There is nothin_ left to do that this mau has not
done in zero g with M509. Now he's thrusting aft
9o0

inverted, heading for the donning station, I'ii


willing - be willing to bet. Pitching up! Now
starting a slow pitch rate, pointed up o'clock -
up o'clock. Okay, he is - along the axis parallel
with the workshop floor, pitching up. Now facing
the donning station, over the S-149 can. Drifting
downward - downward - downward; now arresting his
downward rate, directly over the crew quarters
hatch. Proceeding smoothly and surely to the
donning station. Moving into the station slowly,
Just like Sante Fe in Houston. Blowing a lot of
gas all over, Just like the Sante Fe.

227 20 h4 06 PLT Okay. He says okay; he's there. We take his


pressure to be Almost zero. Perfect use of consum-
ables! Okay, he's using his hands, rotating around
to back into the donning station. Friendly observer
and plane captain is assisting. He is now backed
in. No.

227 20 4h 51 PLT Wait a minute, wait a minute, not yet. Okay, hold
that for a moment; now back in. You're in, you're _
in. Attaboy; let her go. Okay, he is in space
fans, secured safely in the donning station, await-
ing a change of everthing that can be changed. He
is going to take a break and debrief, he says.
Should we turn off all these cameras? If we can
find all the buttons. There is one button that
made itself to the dome. Probably got ensnarled
with your friendly PLT. That knob is off also.
Still running, the dumb thing. Somehow it must
have got cut off early. Really don't know what
happened to that.

227 20 45 56 PLT The button must have got kicked, space fans, on
the dome camera. Well, I'm sure we got plenty of
good maneuvering and flying. But there's more
to come - more to come, ladies and gentlemen.
Don't go away. Don't leave your set. Tune in in
another l0 mlnutes. The question is: Can the
intrepid test pilot be happy with a new PSS and
battery? Time will only tell. Signing off for
now. Be back later.

227 20 46 26 PLT More to follow.

CDR Okay, this is the C- -


901

227 20 h7 05 CDR This is the CDR and l'm debriefing part of run 2.
The - I'm debriefing part of 509. This is betw -
between the bottle change and battery change. This
information goes to Ed Whitsett, Lou Ramon,
Bruce McCandless, and other 509 interested indivi-
duals. Which - I'll Just go through list again
and then maybe you can make a few comments. And
then I'll do the same thing after the second run.
That way we'll get - cover both maybe.

227 20 h7 _8 CDR In which mode was the baseline maneuver easiest


to fly? CMG, obviously. Why? Because it holds
attitude so beautifully. You're not distracted
by the firing of Jets, so you have a feeling that
you can maneuver very precisely. You can ,rake
small corrections, and it's not costing anything
in the way of expendables. Of course it's calling -
cause - is costing you battery power, hut as you
fly it along, you don't - it doesn't seem to
bother you. When you're in DIRECT or RATE GYRO,
you tend to not make as many small corrections,
because you know you're using up your expendables.
z Now, once again, I don't think you really have to
be this precise. It is the most precise but not
necessary, in my opinion.

227 20 h8 30 CDR If the freestyle maneuver was flown, what changes


were made from the baseline maneuver and why?
Okay. I believe - Just a second. I've got to
loan the book ....

227 20 _9 16 CDR Okay, let's take the freestyle maneuver. You


indicated you'd like a maneuver that was somewhat
different and flown Just in a new way, so - or
backwards or something, so I decided to fly the
route upside down, which is certainly easy to do.
The movies will show that it is. And it had the
advantage, I think, of going to the same places,
yet they look different. And also, the direction
of the next one was sometimes confusing, and I'd
have to ask Jack which way. But the whole point
of it was to try to fly something different and
fly something more like you would on orbit. I
don't think it's necessary to fly it upside down,
but there ain't no difference, so I thought it
would be a good m_euver to - to fly.
902

227 20 _9 59 CDR What changes were made? In part, technique. I


tried to fly it like I thought you might EVA, like
I had been flying the baseline maneuvers today.
I made a big effort today to fly the baseline
maneuvers just a little bit faster because I felt
that was like you might fly them EVA. You'd
probably like to fly them even faster than I did,
but you'd be satisfied with the speed I was going
at. So you may find that Just a little bit faster,
but not - I found it satisfactory.

227 20 50 30 CDR Should any maneuvers be changed for the next 509
run? I don't know. I tell you another thing I
did today that I think was worthwhile. I thought
previously that what you might do with the _neu-
vering unit is go to a position, hold on, and then
shove off from that position towards the next one
and use the maneuvering unit for a midcourse cor-
rection. I tried that doing a standard maneuver,
doing the baseline maneuver. In other words, I
hung onto the handlebars, pushed away, and then
made a midcourse correction up at the banjo, which _.
I caught on. Then I did the same thing over to
the - the - base plate for the - T103, and then
se - and then all the way around. Didn't use any
thrusters from around the dome ring lockers, because
I could Just use m_ hands.

227 20 51 23 CDR But my feeling after the run was it cost me more
in fuel to do that than it did if you was flying
precisely. Now, I could be wrong - not precisely,
hut better than casually or operationally accept-
able. I could be wrong on that, and I think this
would be an interesting piece of data to have.
Because it's something that I've thought and
several of my associates have thought for a long
time - that maybe these - these maneuvering units
really only help you between points, that you
ought to Just try to aim for them and push off.
Now maybe I could be better at aiming, probably
could with practice and training. But on first
glance -thought right now would be that maybe it'd
be Just better to go ahead and fly it - turn
around and fly it in the right direction. You
might save gas - certainly be easier. But in any
event, that 's what I did.

227 20 52 12 CDR Should any maneuvers be changed for the next 509
run? I don't know. I think we ought to try all

j ....
9O3

the things we can. We need baseline m_euvers to


correlate with ground trainers• So I'm getting
those and flying those as best I possibly can.
At the same time, we need to look at some other
types of things that you might do with maneuvering
units and try to answer s_ne of those questions
now - That was one of them, I think - and coming
up with a different answer than I thought.

227 20 52 40 CDR Are translational acceleration levels too high?


I think translation is about right. I don't
think any of these translations are really too
low. Anytime you want to build one of - a maneu-
vering unit, I think you would - should tend to
build it so it translates a little bit slow as
far as time of "thruster on" is concerned.

227 20 53 03 CDR It serves as a better cue and makes you more


precise. You can make smaller corrections• At
no time did I feel I was making an unnecessary
and expensive translational controls to stop or
f start. If I had a vote, l'd say, make it even
less authoritative than it is at the moment.

227 20 53 25 CDR Could you null translational rates satisfatory


[sic]? Answer: Yes, very well. I didn't think
that was ... I did notice that in CMG you were
able to do it much better because you didn't con-
fuse rotational with translational - rotational
rates with translational ones - because they
were so steady. You always knew which translation
to put in. In DIRECT or RATE GYR0, sometimes
you'd be rotating - let's say pitching down, and
you would see that - the banjo moving up, so you'd
tend to give it enough translation. Well, those
are hard to separate. But in real life, you don't
really care. When you're there, you're there, and
you can do the Job when you're there.

227 20 54 03 CDR Could you command as small a minimum impulse with


the THC as you desired? Yes, but - but a little
bit smaller wouldn't have been ... When attempt-
ing minimum THC c_mand, did you sometimes fail
to activate the thrusters? No. How often? Not
at all. I tend to bang-bang it, because that's
kind of the way you fly the command module in
•.. Flip, pull over, and it gives one blip• So
/_ you tend to bang-bang it - at least I did.
9o4

227 20 54 30 CDR Did different acceleration levels in different


axes bother you? No. Are high rotational accel-
eration - are rotation acceleration levels too
high, about right, or too low? I personally think
they're too high. Not on the high end of the band
but on the mimimlm impulse. I - I think that it's
acceptable to - to have rotation rates a bit higher
than we have now. There was no time that I felt
that I was out of control or going faster. In high
rotation is when I wanted a high one. Problem seems
to be in getting the very minimum rotation you want.
I would suggest a direct mode and maybe a pulse
mode. With a pulse you can fly Just as precise as
you could any possible other mode, and in the direct
you can get the speed and rotation that you need.

227 20 55 22 CDR Could you null rotational rates satisfactory in


direct? Answer: Satisfactory, yes; they're
operational. But I could've - I would have liked
to have got them - Well, I would have liked to
have zeroed them, and I was never really able to
zero them. I think a little pulse mode on there -
not a repeating pulse - but just one simple bosh
[?] - it goes - blip - smallest blip you could
give would allow you to track, would allow you to
do anything you want. You couple that with DIRECT,
you'd have the perfect machine. I think that -
that flying the - the DIRECT though is - is all
you need to do. There's no reason to have the
others unless you Just want them on - Just so
•.. come up with the optimum.

227 20 56 12 CDR Could you command as small a minimum impulse with


the RHC as you desired? That's the same question,
I think, and the answer is no. I'd like to have
commanded a smaller one; just wasn't able to do
it. When attempting minumum RHC commands, did
you sometimes fail to thr - act thrusters? No.
The reason I didn't is because I tend to bang-bang
it. Now maybe if I somehow determined how much
rotation over we get from start of this firing
and went from there, I probably could, but in
that case, I would think that - I I find it much
similar [sic] to get - simpler mentally to Just
get a command - fire every time you can. If you
over-correct, fire back. It may be inefficient,
but it's simple and it's off your mind to think
of the otherthings. _-_

.
,S _

905

227 20 56 50 CDR Did you notice rate changes during CMG desat?
Yesterday I didn't. Today I watched it carefully
and noticed that it did. It's a Jerk on the
vehicle when the thing fires and surprises you
because you haven't put in a co_nand. It does it
in all axes. It doesn't do it very often. When
it does, it's not particularly disturbing; it is
noticeable though. It Jerks the vehicle slightly;
it Jerks the - you and the back pack slightly, but -
no strain. It's certainly acceptable.

227 20 57 18 CDR Did the acceleration levels in different axes


bother you? No, I don't think I'm sensitive to
those sorts of things. In fact, if you changed
these significantly, it probably wouldn't bother
me. But it seems to ms that somebody that's flown
a lot of different airplanes, like I have, sort of
tends to adapt himself to whatever's there. He
knows what he likes - I know what I like. But it
doesn't seem to bother me. I'm able to - change
around pretty readily. If you said, '"_hat would
you like?" I've - I've told you several times
f I'd like DIRECT _DE. I'd like it too have maybe
a little bit less of authority in DIRECT so I can
fire longer and still get the same rotational rate,
and have a rain impulse where I could rain impulse
it Just perfect. Okay?

227 20 58 0B CDR Could you hear Or feel the CMG locking solenoids?
The answer: Yes, I could hear them, and I could
feel them ever so slightly, almost the same as on
the ground. I felt no - difference in zero g with
those two items.

227 20 58 16 CDR Could you hear the CMG gimbal whine during limb
motion? Slightly. I didn't look for it. I've
got to look for that next time. I - I - I've
noticed if you move your legs or arms or body,
you can move the maneuvering unit around greatly.
And before I started any mR neuvers, Just as I
came out of the - donning station, I did some of
those and you can see them. And you can see I
moved quite large excursions and rapidly. And I
think that will give you a feeling that - that
maybe your body motions could - could have a ...

fr_
\

9O6

thing to do with it. I noticed when I moved around


a little bit in RATE GYRO, it fired way too many
thrusters to make me stop. That's another thing
I don't like about RATE GYRO. If you - if you
move around too much, it fires thrusters and wastes
gas.

227 20 59 05 CDR Did you advertently [sic] contact the OWS? If so,
how often? I contacted it three or four times.
Once or twice during the upside-down maneuver
and once or so other times. The answer: I could
have avoided it. I could - I saw - I saw I was
approaching it. I decided to save gas and try to
see it sneak by. It didn't quite make it. One
time I did contact it in RATE GYRO and it started
quite a number of pulses. That was disturbing;
I wish I hadn't done that, but I guess I never
realized that it was going to fire quite so many,
because I just barely touched the surface.

227 20 59 38 CDR This was coming down to - the final docking from _.
the upside-down maneuver and - _ toe touched
the - the - the workshop floor. Fired quite a
n_mher. I was a little hit surprised.

227 20 59 51 CDR Did you sometimes use your legs and hands to stop
or push off? None to stop or push off except
during the maneuver where I tried to do it. How-
ever, you could. You could get a stuck thruster
in this thing, I'm convinced, turn the handle and
just turn - just wait until your - came to the
wall and catch it. I don't think there's a bit
of danger in this vehicle as far problems with
runaway thrusters - or the like. You Just hear
thusters go. The minute one goes that you didn't
command, you know it. If you're not in RATE
GYRO or CMG and there's much firing, when that
vehicle starts to move more than Just oscillate
back and forth as it fires, you're going to turn
it off and there's going to be no strain. The
observer can grab you in 3 seconds and stop you.
The machines's so much faster than you are on
that ... in moving through the space that your
chances of getting to the wall and getting hurt -
are really zero.

227 21 00 43 CDR It's a safe, safe machine; safe to fly in here


with other things mounted. I didn't string the
hoses like I did yesterday because of the simple
reason it didn't seem to bother. The thrusters
go out quite a long ways, impinge papers - -

PLT Hey l

227 21 O0 55 CDR - - and things that are loose, but it doesn't


hurt them .... in the airlock now is S019 AMS
and - and - ... No sweat; you're not even near
them. No reason to really worry about it - a very
safe machine. I'll - go fly the HHMU now and do
a little talking about that afterwards. This is
for Ed Whitsett, Bruce McCandless, and Lou Ramon
on 509 information, M509.

227 21 01 23 CDR CDB, out.

227 21 01 4_ PLT Okay; some more for M509. Batteries numbers -


the battery number 7 has Just initiated charge
time at 21:00, and we're going to proceed into
the second part of this run now.

227 21 13 51 SPT 'Okay, SPY on channel A debriefing the last run -


we Just finished at 21:10 on the ATM. This was
a study of the X-ray bright spot, 17A. Now at
thy beginning of the orbit, I first returned to
the position where I had found a bright spot on
DETECTOR number 3 GRATING, zero, on the preceding
orbit. That was a ROLL, l0,800 ; DOWN, minus 89 ;
and RIGHT, plus 400.

227 9_114 19 SPT Now when I got back there, I had already moved
the GRATING down to 1941 and did not find much of
a peak of any kind in that vicinity. So I went to
precisely those coordinates again - DOWN, minus 89;
RIGHT, plus 400. And I then began to move slowly
LEFT/RIGHT, UP and DOWN, one position at a time
on my - 55 MIRROR, by searching back and forth,
first of all, along line 32 and then - up and
down a little bit - from line 9. I'd have to
call that line 9 in col1-,n 32. So I searched back
and forth on line 9 by changing the col1_mn. Then
I'd move up and down a little bit. And I finally
found a fairly good peak in the - DETECTOR number 3.

227 21 15 32 SPT I'ii say ... again. So I finally found a fairly


good peak in DETECTOR number 3 at GRATING 1941, a
little ways away. It peaked at - position line 12,
column 33. So that's about 15 arc seconds down
and 5 arc seconds right from the position that I
was expectin_ _t to peak up. And the - DETECTOR
number 3 maximized at about 250 counts while the
background was 30 or 40. And so that's an
enhancement of some 6 to 8 over the background.
I wasn't really satisfied that this was a bright -
or the bright point yet, so I went on back to
GRATING, zero, took a little extra time, to see if
I could verify that my original bright spot -
bright point - was really where I expected it to.

227 21 16 29 SPT And I left my pointing exactly the same: DOWN,


minus 89; RIGHT, plus 400. And again -

227 21 16 38 SPT And again, simply moved the 55 MIRROR around to


try its central position. And found that DETECTOR
number 3, or GRATING zero, now maximized at line 12,
column 31, rather than the expected 0932. That
would have given me about 15 arc seconds down and
5 arc seconds left of where I was expecting it.
So inasmuch as l'm certain that my pointing there
was precisely the same, it seems to lead to the
possibility,at least, that this bright spot had
moved some l0 to 15 arc seconds during the preced-
ing night pass. That's a little too much for
solar rotation, and I don't know what the explana-
tion for it was or is. But DETECTOR niTmher 3,
GRATING zero, did peak up to a level above 1000,
on the order 1000 to ll00 still at 12-31.

227 21 17 _3 SPT And so I was satisfied that I now probably did


have a bright spot and that its coordinates were
somewhat different at the two wavelengths.

227 21 18 03 SPT Object ... which I guess is on DETECTOR 3 at


GRATING zero was about l0 arc seconds to the left
of the position of the magnesium 10. And presum-
ably this could be an altitude difference. If
that's a reasonable explanation, please let me
know, or if it's not, please let me know, whereby
the magnesium l0 is closer to the limb than the
oxygen 6. And so, I wanted to do GRATING SCANS i'
in both of these two positions. Now, if you'll _
