 DAY252 (AM) 2181

252 00 17 51 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack again. We've

completed the run, M092 and M093 on A1. And the
work he put on M093 was 310 watt-minutes.

252 00 18 03 PLT And that's the end of the message for the biomed
folks.

252 00 27 23 PLT Okay, here's some words - this is Jack on chan-

nel A - Here's some words for the EREP officer,
the guys that are interested in handheld photos.
We just went over the Island of New Britain,
where there's Mount Langila volcano on the west
end of New Britain. The weather over the objec-
tive was scattered clouds, and I could not dis-
tinguished any volcano or the three cones making
the volcano, probably due to clouds. I searched
for a dark lava flow and was unable to see any,
due to - most of the island is covered with
greenery, probably trees. And I did not see any
black lava flows like you see in Hawaii.

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

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

252 00 28 46 PLT It appeared to be flowing from the center north-

ward to the sea, although it did not reach the
sea. That is our site n,_ber -What nl_ber is
that? 42.

252 00 28 58 PLT That information goes to EREP officers.

TIME SKIP

252 01 00 35 SPT Okay, this is the SPT debriefing the last orbit.
Information goes to ATM PIs and planners. Okay,
unfortunately I didn't do as well as I think I
should have on this last rev. We were doing
- this sort of modified limb scan with the item 16
that you had recommended with the alterations
or modifications. But the target you gave me
2182

was 18 which is listed on the pad as being loca-

ted at 100 degrees Theta. Well, we can't see
that any longer, but I checked as best ! could
on H-alpha looking for brightness; couldn't
see any. I did make a check on the XUV MON.

252 01 01 16 SPT Stand by.

252 01 02 31 CDR - anyone else interested in the BMMD; it was

requested this morning that I take six zero mass
readings. In other words, just let the chair
rock back and forth. Let me give you the reading:
2.70179, 2.70163, 2.70187, 2.70180, 2.70167.

252 01 03 43 CDR Those are the six zero mass readings. CDR out.
And by the way, that goes to Drs. Bill Thornton,
Mike Whittle, and anyone else interested in BMMD
information.

252 01 03 52 CDR CDR, out.

252 01 06 32 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A with informa-

tion for the ATM Pls and planners. Debriefing
that last rev which was completed right here
about 01:00 Zulu. I didn't do as well as I
should have on that thing. It looks like a
pretty good plan for sort of a modified limb-scanning
program. And I do think it'll work out in one
orbit once we get on with it. I didn't realize
quite how long it was going to take, so I
took a little time at the beginning to get
a white light coronagraph picture and look
around a little bit. Now there are a couple of
things I didn't do as well as I should have. The
first thing was your target was active region 18.
- i00 at what ranges? That's active region 18.
And it's not visible on the disk. I did briefly
check the XUV MON, but I was having a little
trouble with my camera and l'm pointing - and
the persistent image scope has gone on the blink
just this afternoon. We haven't got it fixed
yet. So I didn't get a good enough look at the
XUV. And so I rolled to what I thought was the
best roll angle.

252 01 07 53 SPT It wasn't exactly i00 degrees Theta. I went

about 15 degrees beyond that, and I now find
from some of my XUV M0N pictures that probably
about a 120, ll5 degrees - ll5 to 120 would
 2183

have been a better Theta to use than the one I

used because the XUV brightness is better - is
greater at that particular Theta. So that's the
first thing that I didn't - didn't like the -
the way it turned out. It's still bright where
I used it, but not as bright as it would have
been had I stopped about i0 or 15 degrees shorter.
And I, of course, did not get last 5-minute
exposure, 82B WAVELENGTH, LONG, complete. Ran
out of time, which I might not have done had I
gotten hustling a little faster at the beginning
of the orbit because I think there is time to do
it all.

252 01 08 45 SPT And then finally for Jim Milligan, I got his
last exposure started at 11:30, but forgot to
turn his CAMERA POWER, OFF. So I didn't get
that until 07:45 time remaining. So I started
it again in SINGLE FRAME h at 07:45, and then
got your long exposure done properly. I let it
-_ run clear to 45 seconds time remaining, although
very likely you will have some extinction at the
latter end of that. I find the XUV MON begins
to noticeably extinguish along about i minute
time remaining, and the S05 DETECTOR - the 55
DETECTOR will frequently carry along until about
45 seconds to 55 seconds. So you might not have
much attenuation, but still some perhaps. I only
gave you a 7-minute exposure there, in - in
FILTER 4, Jim; and everything else went about as
scheduled, although I think the next time I
wouldn't expect to make those mistakes which I've
just described. Okay. That's about it for the
last orbit.

252 01 09 57 SPT Info goes then, to the ATM PIs and planners from
the (,
oPT.

TIME SKIP

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

MacQueen, the ATM - ATM PI. Bob, one thing I had
meant to mention in our debriefing and discussion
of that transient there today. I wouldn't have
been able to see that had there not been some
observing time available to just look around. You
2184

might have been in a hurry to get started on, say,

even a JOP 6, which didn't require looking at the
Sun - at the corona, or particularly some other
active region building block without any observing
time. I think it's very unlikely that would have
been noticed.

252 02 14 21 SPT So it might be worth pointing out at some of the

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

252 02 14 48 SPT End of message from the SPT to Dr. Robert MaeQueen,
the ATM PI, S052.

252 02 15 57 CDR Okay, this is the CDR with some information for
EGIL - some sound measurements I made today. Let
me make a couple of comments first. Mainly, the
cabin heat exchanger fan muffler, we don't know what
that is. We think maybe that's a synonym for the
AM circ fan because as far as we know, in the STS, the
only thing that has that sort of a heat exchange
arranging [sic] is the STS circ fan. But let me -
I didn't - so then I didn't get reading l, which
is the AM - which is the cabin heat exchanger fan
muffler, but did get the rest. In l, I substituted
the rate gyros, because they're the loudest thing
in there. Now let me read them to you. And I'll
read them in order. I'll just go like l, which in
this case is rate gyro, and then I'll just read
across, so here it goes. One: 72, 61, 59.5,
67, 60.5, 57.5, 50, 49.5, and 42.

252 02 16 55 CDR Okay, two, which happens to be AM duct fan and

muffler: 61, 52, 52, 58.5, 34, 50, 44.5, 44.5,
35.3. Three: 71, 65, 60 - i, 68, 57, 52, 45, 43,
33. Four: 75.5, 56, 61, 72, 60, 59, 62, 64, 62.
Five: 71, 67, 62, 64.5, 67, 50, 45.5, 45.5, 35.
Six, with all four fans running - I turned them on
so you could get them all four running: 77, 73, 71, 4
61, 55, 48, 42, 40, 30. Number 7: 56.5, 45, 46,
48, 45, 39, 29, 32, 24. Eight: 63.5, 59, 50.5,
59.0, 51, 42, 34, 32, 22. Now 9 is three different
 2185

fans and I went ahead and shot all three of them,

the third being the CSM fan. Fan nnmber i: 66,
58, 56, 55, 54, 51, 45, 41, and 29. Two: 67, 60,
57, 58, 55, 50, hS, h5, 3h. Three, which is the
CSM fan: 67, 61, 56, 56, 52, 49, 43, hl, 28.

252 02 19 O1 CDR That goes to EGIL and also to anyone interested

in 487. I'll tell you some gentlemen that are:
Mr. Robert Nute and Mr. J. C. Smith. So if you
got any problems, give the CDR a call; I'll try
to iron them out. Remember that these were taken
in the environment with other equipments running.
And so sometimes you're not getting a pure sound
level on this except for pointing the instrument
at it.

252 02 19 29 CDR Much - many times - For example, in the STS, I'm
sure the rate gyros tend to crowd in and -
the rate gyro sound tended to crowd in and some-
what mask the sounds of the equipment.

252 02 19 42 CDR CDR out.

TIME SKIP

252 03 06 04 PLT HelLo, space fans, this is Jack on channel A

debriefing the last ATM run. I ran the JOP 6
and I did the shopping list items. I ran the
whole run just like advertised. Powered it
doom for unattended and I gave you the frame
couI_s in real time, and so everything's
debriefed.

252 03 06 23 PLT See you tomorrow.

TIME SKIP

252 ii 52 17 CDR This is CDR debriefing the first ATM run of the
day, the 11:07; went well. I had about 15 minutes
left when I finished with the assigned JOP, so I
went over to shopping list item 16 and worked on
it. I gave 56 a 5-minute exposure, FILTER 3; 82B,
I gave it a 2-minute and 40-second EXPOSURE, SHORT,
2186

at I0 - at - at i0 minutes above the - i0 arc sec-

onds above the limb, 20 arc seconds above the limb,
and 30 arc seconds above the limb. So I got three
2 [minute] 40-second exposures above the limb at
those three points, 02:40. Then we sneaked back
over to the middle and caught the sunset.

252 ii 53 12 CDR CDR out.

252 ii 53 20 CDR Also, I might mention I took a look at 52 during

the startup there. I saw nothing new. There's
streamers at both the western and eastern limbs.
And there's abnormal that I can see in 52. XUV MON -
it seems like active region 19 is about the bright-
est, but none of them are significantly brighter
than the other. You can see a small amount of UV
off of the eastern limb at about 2 o'clock and 5 -
at 4 o'clock and those have been there for a day
or so. That's about it.

252 ii 54 03 CDR CDR, out. _at goes to the ATM science room.

TIME SKIP

252 13 23 32 PLT Good morning space fans. This is Jack on channel A

debriefing the ATM run which began at 12:31. I ran
off a JOP 6 and one change I inadvertently made to
your request was that I rolled to minus 5400 instead
of minus 4800 and so we're going to be a little off
in roll. I noticed it after we'd gotten started
so I decided l'd better leave it where it was to
complete the data take. The VTR was cranked up for
a few minutes, then I ran the JOP 2 Alfa. And l'm
currently doing the J0P 7. And we got off to a
little bit late start on that, so we're going to
get it from 3 minutes on in as opposed to 5 minutes
on in. Other than that, I reported two prominences.
Stand by i, please.

252 13 24 57 PLT I reported two prominences. One at 120 which

appeared to be about - standing width, 30 to 40 arc
seconds above the limb. And another small one
at about 060. I al - did my daily sketch of the
corona, and let me get it oriented right here. _

252 13 25 27 PLT Looks like we still have a couple of pretty nice

streamers over there. We've got two of them instead
F

2187

of one now at the east-northeast side of the limb.

And we got another pretty well defined one at the
east or south - east-southeast side. And so we got
three pretty well defined streamers over there on
the east side now; whereas, we only had one yester-
day with a lots of other slightly enhanced area
which has gone away now.

252 13 26 17 PLT So the slightly enhanced area has given way to three
pretty well defined distinct streamers on the east
side. On the west side, it appears to be about the
same. Lots of - sort of enhanced area but not too
distinct. Maybe one distinct streamer at the
south-southwest or west-southwest, I should say.
And _ had a little more enhanced area yesterday
other there than we have now. It certainly is
somewhat enhanced but not too well defined.

252 13 26 55 PLT One o:_her thing I noticed that I've never noticed
before. In watching the scope as we went into
_ sunset - actual sunset - I did notice the waves
across the H-alpha - the - due to the atmosphere
and sort of density waves, I guess you might call
them. I did notice the effect of seeing the Sun
through the atmosphere, much as it would appear,
looking from a telescope on the ground. It appeared
that the seeing wasn't very good, and I could see
it move from the bottom of the scope - or one side
of the scope across to the other.

252 13 27 41 PLT And - and then of course the Sun went out, but that
was something I hadn't seen before, but was very
apparent, seeing these parallel waves of the Earth's
atmosphere interrupt the good seeing that we have
up here above the atmosphere.

252 13 28 O0 PLT And that concludes the debriefing for today and -
or fo]- this rev, and I'ii see you in a short time.

TIME SKIP

252 13 52 32 PLT This is Jack on channel A. The subject is Earth

observations for the EREP people. We - drifting
over the Sahara Desert today, I was just kind of
looking at the forms that the sand made and other
terrain down there. And basically the sand was
varying colors from reddish to whitish to grayish.
2188

252 13 52 59 PLT But I noticed that - what appeared to be - something

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

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

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

252 13 54 35 PLT Now back into the middle of the desert, the other
thing I noticed was that through these - in these
outcrops, I guess would be a better word for the -
what appeared to be the volcanic features. In
these outcrops or - or tops of hills that were
sticking out of the sand, there were frequently
cuts. And you could see the sand streaming -
the - the effect of wind blowing the sand through
these cuts.

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

predominantly from the northeast, which was along
our track. And the reason I say that is because
you could see through these cuts the - the streams
of sand streaming out to the southwest. And per-
haps they were just sand streams, but perhaps they
were areas of varying elevation ths± cause it
appear - cause it to appear that way.

252 13 55 _0 PLT But, at any rate, it appeared that the wind had
caused the sand to blow through these cuts. And
in other areas where there's a lot more sand, you
F"

2189

could see the parallel or linear features all

lined up - probably with respect to the wind. In
this case, it appeared that perhaps the wind was
Just 90 degrees to my earlier observation; that
is, primarily from the northwest; because the
linear features were - in the sand of the dunes -
were lined up northeast to southwest. So app -
per - perhaps there are two wind directions to
think about there.

252 13 56 28 PLT Those that caused the dunes and then periodically,
when the wind is from the northeast, why it would -
would stream sand through these cuts that I noticed.
Now i didn't notice any cuts going the other
direction. If I had, I may have noticed the
streaming in other directions as well. But the
ones that I noticed, just happened to be oriented
in that direction, so perhaps looking at the dunes
is a better way to determine the general direction
of the prevailing winds in that area.

252 13 56 58 PLT Another thing I noticed was that as you went down
from the higher outcrops, which were all dark and
looked volcanic, the sand on the periphery of
these was for several miles more of a grayish-whitish
color. Perhaps more of the color of the - a
gradation of the color between the outcrops and
the sand which was in the lower - apparently lower
lying areas, which was more of a reddish-yellowish
color. So the - the line of demarcation was very
evident also between the sand which was close to
the outcrops as opposed to the sand which was in
the - the lower areas.

252 13 57 42 PLT It makes you think that - that first the volcanic
area was - or volcanic activity was present and
then that later on some sort of reddish bands that
I noticed were laid down and then perhaps the -
the more whitish-grayish ones which I saw close to
those were laid in there. And that the whitish-
gray was blown out of the lower lying areas and -
but was preserved nearer to the hills - the hills
protecting that area from - from the wind.

252 13 58 26 PLT Or perhaps some of the sand and dust particles

..... and - and so forth generated by the hills had -
had somehow been blown down to the - to meet with
the red-yellow sand in the lower areas. So just
a few observations that we're able to make in
2190

space, and the purpose is not so much to describe

to you the geology of the Sahara as to describe to
you what types of features we're able to see in
that kind of an area from our vantage point up
here.

252 13 59 05 PLT And that takes care of the Earth observation

message for now.

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

biomed, particularly Mike Whittle and the folks
who are interested in normal BM_) information.
This morning I ate breakfast before I weighed
myself. I realized it during breakfast, so I
continued and ate every single thing that was on
the breakfast menu. And that only. Took one
drink of water. Everything else was as it normally
is, and I'ii read you the numbers that I got on
the BMMD, which means you ought to be able to
subtract off the weight of the meal and have the
accurate morning weighing. 2689, 6288, 6285. -_
Sorry, just forgot, but I think we're in something
of a comparable position to determine accurately
what I weighed this morning.

252 14 00 33 CDR CDR out. That goes to Mike Whittle and to anyone
else interested in BMMD readings, or morning
weight readings. I'ii read this information
down on the - the nightly report and mention that
I've already reached you on channel A. CDR out.

TIME SKIP

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

debriefing the last ATM run, which began at 14:06.
I ran a JOP 6, building block 2 and during that
period of time, 50 - S056 hung up in PATROL,
SHORT; FILTER 5. Then we went on to JOP 2F, and
I ran all the JOP 2 Foxtrots at your coordinates.
On the first one, I gave S056 a SINGLE FRAME,
135 SHORT, instead of ACTIVE i, LONG; and I did
the same thing on the third one. _md so maybe
they requested ... a 55 on the rest. We're pre-
sently going on down through effective sunset in
MIRROR, LINESCAN. _-_
 2191

252 14 57 43 PLT And so that rev's complete, and that wraps up the
debriefing. Thank you.

TIME SKIP

252 16 32 04 CDR Okay, this is the CDR, and l'm debriefing the AT -
ATM run at 15:39. Went completely nominal; every-
thing went well. Got finishedabout 12 minutes
early or so. I had a report that active region i0
was surging. Went on to the limb - over to the
limb. Went off the limb; rolled parallel to the
limb. Gave 82B three exposures - two 40-second
SHORT and one 40-second LONG. The 40-second LONG
was uncalled for, but I wanted to make sure that I
got what the ground wanted. They said two 40-second
exposures. I just wanted to verify - make sure
that I got the data. I gave an ACTIVE, i, LONG
with 56 and did MIRROR, LINE SCAN at GRATING, zero.
So, by the way, on H-alpha, it looked like I could
see something there for a while. It disappeared.
Now it may have been a prominence there forever
and I just didn't know it, but it looked like
somezhing was visible. And I laid the slit across
that something.

252 17 01 18 PLT Okays, space fans. This is Jack on channel A. This

information goes to the handheld photo people. I
took a picture of the Gulf of Panama, and I noticed
that there was a lot of sedimentation around the -
particularly around the north and the east sides of
 r_

2192

that Gulf. Most of it was associated with the rivers

that were flowing down into the Gulf. There was also
some around Rio Hato, which is on the west side of the
Gulf. Other than that, there wasn't a whole lot to
notice because the - the land was pretty much covered
by clouds. We took a photograph of the Gulf of
Panama, and therefore I believe we've covered
that requirement.

252 17 02 04 PLT That's the end of the message for the handheld
photo people.

252 18 39 44 CDR Okay, Houston, the readings -

252 18 39 55 CDR Okay, Houston, the reading on D-6 just as soon as

I turned the 192 to CHECK is a mere 57 percent -
57percent on D-6.

252 18 40 08 CDR CDR out. _q%at's for EREP.

252 18 49 38 CDR Put it in RECORD, and everything is just dandy so

far. Check all readings and voice record green
ones. I'm going to check them and read them.
Okay, we're going to start with switch A first.
2 - it's 92 percent, which, as you well know, is
out of limits. But we'll live through it, I guess.
We always seem to. 87 percent on 3, which is
within limits. 84 percent - correction - 72 percent
on 4, which is within limits. 5 is 66 percent,
which is acceptable. 6 is about zero, and that's
acceptable. And that's the end of that one.
2 flunked.

252 18 50 32 CDR Okay, let's try B-2. B-2 is 62 percent, and that's
acceptable. B-3 is 76 percent; that's acceptable.
B-4, 71 percent; that's acceptable. B-5, 74 per-
cent ; that is acceptable. B-6 is acceptable
anywhere, and it's 49 percent. B-7, 31 percent,
acceptable. B-8, i percent, acceptable. 9,
59 percent, and that's acceptable.

252 18 51 19 CDR C-2, h4 percent, acceptable. C-3, 88 percent,

unacceptable. Yes, it's acceptable. We got the
attenuator in. No, no, it says attenuator - yes,
that can go to i00 percent, h, 91 percent, and
 219 3

that's not acceptable. C-h is not acceptable;

it's out of limits. 5, 84 percent; that's within
limits. C-6 is 47 percent, in limits. C-7 is
in limits at 49 percent. So it's C-4 that's out
of limits.

252 18 52 04 CDR Wait a minute and let's go to D. A-2 and C-4.

D-2, one of our favorite numbers, 86 percent, and
that's acceptable. D-3, 85 percent, acceptable.
D-4, 72 percent, acceptable. D-5, 12 percent,

clouds over the Atlantic. They have kind of a
waffle-weave pattern to them. But they're - they
Just got a light, blueish tint to them; so they're -
You can see little patches of blue in them so that
2206

they're not real solid, but definite cloud

formations. I think the bluishness is somewhat
affected by the Sun angle; makes a little h_m_ock
behind the clouds.

CDR Does_ It does look that way, doesn't it?

PLT That takes care of that. Don't we have a no-EREP

schedule?

Abilene back then; I'm going to look that up.

CC *** Houston. We didn't see an AUTO CAL on the 191.

Did you get one of those?

252 21 ii 42 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A,

debriefing the last ATM run, which began at 20:18.
I ran all through J0P 6, and then I got a call
from the ground to work on - work over active
region 24. So went there and did a JOP 2A,
step 4, detailed teleprinter ..., and omitted
82A, B, and 54; but I did do a 56. I did a
PATROL, SHORT; PATROL, NORMAL - -

CDR Huh?

SPT Still not gettinganything...

252 21 12 16 PLT - - and did parts of ACTIVE, i, LONG and did the
SINGLE FRAME, i, 3, 5, SHORT. And I got the
GRATING, AUTO SCAN; the MIRROR, AUTO RASTERS;
and a couple - and that's about it. Then I went
down to step 7, omitted 82A and 54, - -

SPT No, that's what this one was for.

252 21 12 45 PLT - - and when I did the step 7, I got 82B - a

i0-- and a 40-second SHORT, you requested, and -
55 got i, 2, 3, 5, 6 - corrections, i, 2, 3, 4.
5, 6 as a 2436 GRATING. And had a little time
left over; so shot another GRATING, AUTO SCAN,
DETECTORS i and 2. Found another bright spot,
and then I MIRROR, LINE SCANned for a while through
that area, stepping between - up and down of
about 6 and 13, something like that.

252 21 13 25 PLT So we did a little extra coverage on active

region 24 and let the MIRROR, LINE SCAN run out
through effective Sun - through actual sunset on
line 9. And that completes the debriefing for
this run. Thank you.

252 21 16 01 CDR Okay, this is the CDR with information on the

:rate gyro six-pack temp, which was a little bit
 2208

early, but I had some time and came up here and

did it. The - I'ii read the number of the request,
and then I'ii read you the temp. Now i is a
little bit different, because i, you can't get
between 5 and 6. Their connector ends right side
of plate toward CSM, because the other gyros,
the wide gyros, get in the way. So I got not
exactly in the middle; I moved over more towards -
underneath the -

252 21 17 26 CDR Okay, CDR back again with this information. It's
over - over towards - It's between X-5 and X-6,
but it's closer -

252 21 17 37 CDR By about an inch to X-6, and it - You just can't

get in there exactly between them. But. let me
read you the numbers; I don't think it's going
to make any difference. By the way, I also took
two places.

252 21 17 59 CDR I took one place on the side towards the CSM, as --
requested, and got 98.2. I went around to the

TIME SKIP

252 22 22 14 CDR Okay, this goes to EREP, and l'm giving them some
additional numbers, l'm going to go from the top
of the checklist in order. So at time 05:20: A-2,
93; B-4, 98; C-I, 87. Now you realize that the next
one down, I'm supposed to record A-I and B-I. A-I
and B-I continue to move around, even after the
decision time and everything else. Now I didn't
know it was really that way, but it turns out, up
 2209

here it is. One minute they're 48, 42; the next

minute they're 47, 43; and they just move all over
the place. Okay, down at 08:10, C-I max was 89.
Down at same place, after 08:10, when the READY was
out: A-l, 54; A-2, 93; B-l, 45; and C-4, 98.
15:140: A-2 was 92, and C-4 was 98. 20:53: A-2,
93; C-4, 98.

252 22 23 20 CDR That ought to do it; that goes to EREP. CDR out.

TIME SKIP

252 23 04 41 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A. I want to talk

about the last ATM pass to the ATM Pls and planners.
Main thing I wanted to discuss is this four-limb
coalignment. And here are the numbers that go in
the appropriate blocks on page i-i of the - whatever
checklist this is. ATM Log, it looks like. Okay,
on day 252, time 22:30, the upper limb: plus i011,
1011, I011. Lower limb: minus 895, minus 899. And
the left limb: minus 930, minus 930, minus 930.
And the right limb: plus 972, plus 975. The mirror
position is still on line 9 and row 32, 0932. The
FSS readouts are plus 595, plus 653. That's up in
and out, respectively. And right, in and out: plus
413, plus 435. Now it looks like there's been
essentially no drift at all. All the instruments
are staying precisely where they have been. However,
I do want to talk a little bit about the S055
left-limb reading, which I have given it as minus
930, the point at which you MPC the barber-
pole-to-gray change. Now I've had to fudge Just a
little bit on that.

252 23 06 25 SPT It may show up at minus 930; it may be actually in

a minus 929, in which case, if it were really a
minus 929, according to the alignment procedures,
I should have skipped to row 33. I actually did
that., but when you get over to the right limb, it's
clearly too far to the right. And if you make the
same check at the right limb, which isn't asked for
in the procedures, - if you do make that check
anyway, you step right back to line 32, row 32.

252 23 06 51 SPT Now it is closer to being correct, at both limbs,

on row 32 than it is at row 33. So I left it on
row 32, even though you do have to occasionally
2210

fudge a little bit on the left limb. So it seems

that the 55 is not precisely centered on the limb
in any of these line positions. Be nice if we had
a little, fine micrometer to squeeze it over to the
left a lit - right a little bit. But since we
don't, we have to put up with this very slight
misalignment of the center. So 82B and H-alpha i
seem to retain exactly the same alignment they've
always had. 80-55 has not changed any, but it has -
the center of their pencil beam is skewed site -
slightly, a couple of arc seconds from the 82B and
H-alpha 1 center.

252 23 07 51 SPT Now as far as how much of the S055 ZERO-ORDER

DETECT - DETECTOR must be illuminated before it
triggers from barber pole to gray, when we came up,
I was under the impression that it was a very small
fraction, like only 5 or l0 percent. From the looks
of these diameters, it is more like - oh, 20 or
30 percent of the ZERO-ORDER DETECTOR that has to
be illuminated, before it flips from barber pole to
gray. If you have any other comments, or if you
disagree with this, please give me a call about it.
But I believe that row 32 is still clearly the best.
Line 9 is, I believe, still, without doubt, the best
of the - of both of the choices there.

252 23 08 42 SPT So that's the next four-limb coalignment. And since

it requires no readjustment, I think that it is -
good deal of confidence that it is essentially -
remains well coaligned for the entire mission here.

252 23 08 54 SPT End of message from the SPT to the ATM PIs and
planners.

###
 DAY 253 (AM) 2211

253 01 58 27 PLT ... and the fact that it was dynamic. I could
see it move by just watching it. And it's the
f_rst moving thing l've really seen on the Sun.
So decided to do a little JOP 8 on it and started
on that with a building block 1O and pointed XUV
smd gave them a couple of frames in one pointing
and a couple of frames in another pointing. And
ran some GRATING AUTO SCAN and a MIRROR AUTO
RASTER, and so forth. And then got conversation
with you folks and you suggested going to Sun
center, which we did. And after that we ran most
of the shopping list item 19 on the - on the
prominence.

253 Ol 59 01 PLT Appeared to me to be visibly in H-alpha, 30 to 40

arc seconds about the limb. And some places were
higher, depending on the rays that were emanating
from it. And appeared to me to be about oh, i00 arc
seconds long, tangentially. And it appeared to
be associated with active region 9. Must have
that nifty filament that was with us giving us
some action. But anyway, we proceeded on with
the shoppinglist item number 19. We had to cut
some of XUV exposures down. We thought it wouldn't
be a bad thing to do anyway because what we were
looking at was relatively bright, so that's what
we did. We got pointings at zero, plus 4, plus 8,
plus 20, WAVELENGTH, SHORT and LONG. And we got
a couple of GRATING AUTO SCANS on a mirror of 32
and then 34 and then 36, LEFT/RIGHT that is.
And S056 got SINGLE FRAME, LONG; FILTERS 3, 44,
and 5. The first one was i0 minutes and the
second two were 8 minutes each. So we pretty much
used up the shopping list item 19 on the prominence
there, and that ran us out of time. So the Big 0.
will be on the panel next rev, and he'll be talking
to you.

253 02 00 50 PLT Thank you very much.

253 02 14 40 CDR Okay, Jerr, Bill, Ed, Vance, Don, Bill, I'm going
to continue now with the next part of this little
introduction to what we've got going on up here,
maybe to aid you. Once again, it's not a pro Job.
It's Just an effort to show you what we got. And
without any more, let me just start over here.
What I'm doing is facing the plus-Z, right now.
j And I'm floatingover here to the side, sho_ing
you how the canister's in there. As you know, we
2212

changed the tripod out, so the tripod - although

we're not using it any more. This one right here's
the one that didn't fit. The one that does fit
is sitting over there in the corner by the BMMD.
And it - it's for your use in case y'all start
bringing up some repair items to fix up T027 or
73.

253 02 14 54 CDR Underneath it you can see a - a plenum bag.

That's where we keep our only plenum bag. And
the things we throw in there are just dry trash
and about the only thing that's dry trash, it
turns out, are items from packing. Like when we
take out the food lockers, there's some packing
around there. Every once in a while when you
pull something out of the dome locker_ there's
some packing. But mostly everything's wet trash
and goes down the trash airlock. But that's been
hanging there now for about a month, and it's
just gradually filled up, as you can see. And I
assume when' we get ready to close out, we'll find
a lot of other things to throw in there, and we'll
hang it down in the plenum.

253 02 15 35 CDR There appears to be some more room available in

the plenum. And then right up on top there, of
the food lockers, you can see those little bags
there, to the immediate left of your screen, are
the plenum - extra plenum bags. So there's
plenty of bags, too. There's the spider right up
there on the wall next to those lights. I don't
know what we do with that. I assume we stow it.
You'll notice it's got a lot of our - our extension
cords on there, but we've managed to use the others.
That's the big taker-upper of extension cords.

253 02 15 58 CDR Okay, let me back up now. It turns out that the
H20 purification equipment over there on the wall
is pretty easy to use. The way we've been doing
it, they'll give us a pad, tell us to go check
water tank such and such, such and such. We do
that and that's pretty straightforward and quick
to do. And then once we've done it, we send that
information down to the ground, and then about
3 days later they come up and say put X amount
of iodine intank i0, put 50 in tank 5, put 20 in
tank something or other. It works real good. So
I don't think you'll have any problems with that.
I hope that those iodine - where we throw the
 2213

waste then it doesn't fill up. You're looking at

T020. It doesn't look too much like it, because
l'm looking at it from the back.

253 02 16 57 CDR Also, we don't have it stowed like the good guys
want us to stow it. The reason is it takes too
long to unstow and to stow. So we just hung it
over there, and it doesn't bother anybody. It's
got all that multiplicity of straps on it that -
By the way, that's the TV cables that are swing-
ing over there. It's got all that - and comm
cables - It's got all the straps on it it took
to get strapped in. We just left them there and
left them in position so when we flew it next
time, if we did, we would - We'd have them ready.

253 02 17 28 CDR We're getting ready to fly suited runs, so we're

going to take these off the first of this week.
And then we'll have it stashed in a good place.
I think you're going to enjoy flying it. You'll
notice on the sides there that we've got some -
some Mosite, and it's all taped there. It's a
f- rather crude-lookingoperation,but it seemed to
do the Job. I'm hoping they make you something
a lot better. We'll have to take that off too
to fly the suits, but we'll leave the Mosite
underneath the - the medical gear down there.
I'll show you where, when we're downstairs. But,
anyhow, it's just stashed there. Doesn't get in
anybody's way. Looks kind of funny, but we'll get
it all cleaned up for you, enough so that we think
it's in the best configuration for when you get
here.

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

much the same way. We dock it and tie it down
each time. But as you can tell, we do not tie
the straps up particularly neat. You'll see the
padding on the - the seat there. It's left for
_u. We'll just leave all that Just like that.
We may tidy up the straps a bit, but that's about
it. Pretty easy to get out. Once you've done it
one time, it's really simple to do. It's funny.
(_e of the things that we found out up here was
the first time you did something, it took you over
a 100 percent longer to do it ag - to do it than
you'd planned, because you just really want to
check everything. Somehowyou don'tbelieve -
_ least we didn't_ some way - that the training
2214

units work like the flight units. Well, in most

cases they do, but somehow you just don't trust
yourself. You don't trust yourself to remember
where things are, to remember how to do things.
Once you've done it once, then you've kind of
been convinced that maybe it is just like you
trained on and you can do it much faster.

253 02 19 12 CDR Let me show you some others here. I'm moving
around, so between times it will be a little
screwed up. Okay, now there's the helmet bag for
the EV-3 man; nothing new there. Right behind
there is all the gear from the parasols, the
sails, and all that special equipment we brought
up here. It's right in that bag and in that bag
right there. There is the MSC sail. We're look-
ing above the - the film vault. I very seldom
get into that area. Once when we had to cut
some panels, they said go get the - the wire cut -
I mean the sheet-metal cutters. They told us
where, and they were in there. So that is just
kind of tied up there out of the way. Doesn't
bother you. Doesn't look particularly nice, but
all that sort of equipment's in there. My guess
is that you will not have to use it at all. Now
where we're going to put the EPC rate gyro equip-
ment, I don't know. I don't think it'll be in
there. That's too out in the open. That'll
probably be put somewhere in the MDA in a - one
of the empty film lockers, but you'll find out
where it is. S063 is open because Owen's over
there getting ready for tomorrow's pass, so I
won't comment further about that.

253 02 20 28 CDR Let me show you what we've done right here.
There's the film vault. To the left we've got
a card for the Mark II exerciser. To the right,
the Mark I exercise card. I know it's not in
focus, l've stuck over here the Mark II and the
Mark III exercisers on a couple of bungees where
we can get at them. Right down here is the
Mark I. I think you ought to put this in your
simulator. Maybe you've already done it. But
you ought to get the Mark I in there, get this
other gear, and stash it around like it is. It'll
help you learn where it is and then use it.

253 02 20 58 CDR Right over here swinging on the duct is the PCU
for EV-I. Over here on the other duct is the PCU
 2215

for EV-2, right above TI3. We just keep them

hanging there, and it's a good place. Of course,
the helmet stowage bags are the same. The two -
foot plates - Let me show you something else
we've been doing. By the way, let me show you -
Watch 0. - 0., handle the - the camera up here.
He's getting ready to put in the ETC. If those
guys cotuld see us handle their gear, they'd go
crazy, because it looks like you're being careless
but you're not. You can control this. You don't
ever let it get out. It doesn't go anywhere you
don't want. It moves fast, and when you want to
look at something on the other side, you just
give it a spin. And the heavy items stay in
position real well like that. So you can set it
somewhere and kind of wonder off and come back
and it's there.

253 02 21 49 CDR You take a light item like a checklist and set
it there and shove off and come back, it isn't
there. And you don't know where it is, because
the wind blows it here and there. And I tell
you, we lost more tro - time in the first 3 or
h days from losing things than about anything
else, I believe. You just set them down for a
second, you look, and it's gone. Now it's
almost like an instrument scan when you float
something. YOu think you wouldn't float it, but
it's fun to float it. It's kind of one of the
benefits of zero g. So any time you get a chance,
you sort of float it near you. But with the
light items, you get sort of like an instrument
scan in an airplane, Ed, where you - coming back
to it. You work and then come back. Every
l0 seconds you look at it. If it starts to move,
you put it back. It's kind of fun to - to do it.
So you'll find yourself saying, "I shouldn't do
this, but I'm going to."

253 02 22 38 CDR And then maybe i0 percent of the time now it

floats off and it takes you awhile to find it,
but everybody helps, and pretty soon it turns up.
If it doesn't, Just wait awhile. It'll turn up
right up there on that screen. That's the best
thing in the place going. Now what you'll see up
there now are a couple items that have floated
away for 2 or 3 days. Normally we keep that
spic-and-span.I usuallyvacuum it at least every
other day. By the way, to get out the vacuum
2216

cleaner to vacuum everything that needs to be

vacuumed and put it back, it's about a lO-minute
job. I vacuum that thing about every other day
and we got ready to do some TV of Jack doing it
yesterday, and it wasn't dirty. So we're letting
things collect on it for a couple days so when
he vacuums, he's got something.

253 02 23 25 CDR And there's a couple of straps up there and a top

to one of the food cans and some dirt's gathering
but we're trying to get - trying to get something
so we can show them on a 487. Last time I did
487 - You do them three times - I had to wait a
couple days too. While I'm up here, I might show
you the water tanks. I would suggest that you
get very familiar with that tank, the hoses.
Note - note the hoses running up there through
the hatch. Those hoses are coiled up. One of
them runs down and goes out the airlock to put
a vacuum on the can. The other comes over here
to this fitting in the floor. My sug - I would
highly recommend that you devote three training
times to that of a couple hours each of trying to
understand what the hoses do. Don't - Can the
checklist. It doesn't let you learn it. Use
the checklist when you do it in flight, but try
to figure out how the hoses go and how all these
different water connectors, because you seem to
use that a lot. You use it for dumping the
command module water. You use it for con - not
these - some different ones - But there's a lot
of hose connections.

253 02 24 28 CDR Another thing might be a good idea, Bill, is to

get them to give you a picture diagram to take
up here, in the flight data file, of all these
fittings and all the hoses by length and by
fittings on each end and the names, because they
all have about the same name, and it takes you
forever to learn which is which. Up there on -
... Up there on the ceiling, too, are the two
straps that we used for firemen poles. Now we
connected those a couple of days, but we didn't
like them for several reasons. One, they didn't
provide any advantage over the metal one, and
the disadvantage they provided, you never could
torque off them. You could go up and down on
them, but if you wmnted to turn around or catch
yourself because you were headed toward the - the
F

2217

hatch lid, you know, the cover instead of the

hole, you couldn't do it. Now we kept the metal
one in here for about a week, and then we decided
to take it out and we hadn't had it in here since,
because it's a lot more fun to dive up and down
and float. It's just more fun to operate. You
don't need it and it's - it's - we haven't missed
it. It's - it's been a lot more fun.

253 02 25 29 CDR Let's get back now to where we were. Okay,

you'll see the bottles. We - The way we work
tlhese bottles, by the way, is as soon as we
finish the run on 509 or T20, if we have a bottle
clhange in midrun, we stick it in there changed.
But the bottle we take out, then we go take up
and charge it. Then when we bring it back and
clharge the other one, we stash it there and then
tlhe next morning we take them both back and - and
top them off. We don't even wait for the ground
to tell us to. That way they're always topped
off and we get ahead of the game. And there's
no reasonnot to. It really- it reallyworks
good. Now I'm doing a bad thing here. I wasn't
paying attention and let my triangle shoes get
off, and I'm floating away. Sometimes you float
up in the workshop and it takes you a minute to
get back, so I'm coming back now.

253 02 26 21 CDR Okay, by the way, there's where we pu - Let me

Show you where we put the - the EV plate. And
you don't need to change around. There's one.
We got it where EV-3 works. Another thing I
might mention we found it extremely difficult to
get in the suit with our feet in there, because
we just couldn't bend over to get in the suit -
itself. Well, we were finally able to do it by
working awfully hard. We found it much simpler
to - get in the suit with your feet in those -
and then before you try to put the top part in,
to take your feet out - and then Just hold on
with your - let the other guy put his feet in
near the top and he kind of holds on to you and
then you can bend over much easier and get in
the suit. We found no trouble at all then.

253 02 27 02 CDR Also getting out is the same way, so don't try to
stay in there when you do it. Usually it's easier
if the other guy Just kind of puts his legs
around you and helps you with the suit. Now we
2218

found another thing, it was hard to zip up the

suit, mainly because when you lean up here you
don't have gravity helping you lean - and so -
you don't lean as far. And we kept saying, "What's
wrong? We can't zip these up." And finally the
last time we did EVA, we just grunted and bent,
you know, put a lot more muscle in leaning over.
It was no trouble. So it's strictly the fact
that we didn't have the gravity and weren't pull-
ing hard enough. We were pulling Earth strength
and - and not up here with a lack of gravity.

253 02 27 39 CDR Let me show you the other two. This one's over
here by the bottle. Owen took a picture because
he's working underneath, you see. And this one's
right in front of the hatch. You can see we keep
it open. We don't move it around. You ought to
just leave those there. Let them put the hatch
in, put those little blue things there; there's
as good as anywhere else. And you can float
around. By the way, in your suits you don't have
any trouble getting from here to the hatch or
anywhere else. Everything's great as far as -
getting around in here in zero g.

253 02 28 08 CDR Okay, let's go back over here. Right now we're
venting down - we were venting down; Owen just
stopped. The lid was open, we were just venting
down the AMS - now let - let me talk a few minutes
about that thing. It turns out that you got this
thing in and out a lot. Along with - with the -
the other component there, the - I forget what
you call it. That's articulated mirror system
and that's the - the adapter. I forget what you
call it, let me see what the name of it is. It's
called the - S019 optics, that's right ; the optics
part of S019, and then of course the film canisters
over in the film vault. But - you get those in
and out an awful lot. If I were you, l'd do
extra training on that putting in and out. It's
funny, we trained a lot across the board to try
to even everything out. But some things you do
every single day, like that. You ought to be
able to do that as good as ATM. You ought to
have five training sessions on putting this in and
out alone, before you come up here, because you
just do it a lot. And then something like -
configuring for EVA - quit doing so much of it,
you just don't do it that often. And - you
 2219

remember it longer. And you can really add up

the minutes by being able to do these sorts of
things fast.

253 02 29 28 CDR AXrlock has been no trouble. We've had no sweat

in it. We put our checklist right up there in
the little clip. The ones that we don't, we put
right over in that bag. Now let me show you
something. Right here is the - one headset
Flugged into channel A. The one l'm wearing is
plugged into the other side. We keep that plugged
in with two cables and we use it during 509 and
T20. When we're doing EREP, we move that up-
stairs. This one stays here all the time, and
it's great to use when you're doing S019; it's
also great to use when you're down. And we stick
it through the hole through the floor and then
Jack uses it for T002, and that's why he's been
able to do ic fast and better down there.

253 02 30 07 CDR Now the tricky part is, it's plugged into A, don't
-- forget to turn the switch there - the intercompush
to talk; of course, it's not there now, because mine
is over on the other side. And you always be sure
to check it, by turning another squawk box on and
he talks - sometimes it kind of squeaks but that
lets you know. Let's see what else we've got.
There's the red-pocket dosimeter we keep there.
We got the bag up there - three bags with our
old - and used - I_ - water-cooled garments. And
we'll take and move those and stow those away
but that's where we've got them right now. It's
tlhe only place we can find open. You'll see -
There's the broken TV, forgive me for moving
fast - there's the broken TV on the - rack. We
Just leave it there. We'll stow it away before
we go. You get in the business of stowing and
unstowing if you're not careful.

253 02 31 02 CDR Okay, now on the top of the food locker. Pretty
interesting place; that's where all the extra
chow is. And - you'll be using it a lot. For
example, right there's a lot of extra small cans.
Right next to it are the extra big cans with the
food in there. Behind it - big sack - by the way,
that big sack is the extra food we got together
for our 3 days all stashed in there. So for our
3-day extension- I'ii just go up and get that
bag - and take it down and we'll put on our -

our - our - food locker - in our food locker.

And behind it is a couple more items of - extr_
food. Down there_ we've tied down some of the
extra clothes we've brought up. We got a lot of
clothes up here, Jerr, and you can probably bring
some extra socks and have plenty of clothes for
any extension you can come up with. Here's where
we've put the - fecal bundle. It's kind of
stashed over there in the corner. We've found out
that we - use one can of - food, one of these big
things of food, you know, in 6 days and we fill
up one of those fecal things in 6 days. It turns
out that - Owen was the first guy to notice that,
since he carries out the fecals and puts them in
there. I always - and Jack usually - Jack and I
put down the food; sometimes Owen gives us a hand.
But anyhow, he noticed that - and Jack got mad
because he said that - he figured he was just a
middle man for the whole thing and he was going to
throw some of the stuff in the - in the fecal bags
and forget it - cans and all (chuckle); even throw
the menu and - the pills in - but he didn't do it.
But maybe, who knows -

253 02 32 36 CDR Okay, let me show you inside some of these babies
so you know what's going on. Up here at the top
one, I'ii open it and back off. Some will float
off and I'ii have to put them back in. Okay, now
there's the - the leftover stuff that SL-2 had.
Now, you're se - Pete's listed them on the top in
some places, side some places. But we'll bring
back a complete inventory of what's in there, so
that gives you a feel for the sort of food he's
got in there.

253 02 33 08 CDR Okay, that's going to float out. This locker

contains SL-2's flight data file - SOPs - the -
I took off the leg guards around the dome lockers
and - I'ii Just kind of show you. That's just
Jammed up with old gear. For example, we got
ready to go EVA; we couldn't find the adapter that
put the powerpack on the camera. We looked all over
the place; Jack says I'ii bet they threw it away
with the - powerpack they used. I says, "Wait a
minute. I think I saw a powerpack in here." I
went in there and looked and I'ii be darned if - it --_
wasn't there. So we tend to not throw much away,
but stash it somewhere and report it to the ground;
you might be able to use it.
 2221

253 02 33 49 CDR _d the big white bag is all their flight data file.
Behind, there's a bunch of other - things that they
used during the flight. Now we'll probably have
a locker the same way. And it'll probably be the
locker next to it. Here's our overage. The ones
that are gray are labeled with our overage. The
ones that are white are empty cans waiting to be
labeled. So we'll - before we leave, we'll -
label it all up and put it there. Now we got a lot
of overage out of here, in our lockers, that we
probably aren't going to eat, but it's a lot
easier to go find this stuff, put it in your lock-
ers, than it is to keep coming back all the time
trying to find one item of peaches or something
like that. So we tend to - to not - not go back
snd forth so much. But when we're out, we get
_t and then - put it - put - put it down there on
cur little old - use our bottom shelf. I'm showing
this bag because it'll probably be here when you
get here. That's the f_]m that we - dredged out
of the - plenum, and for - that Pete had. It's
s_out i0 - EREPs - film i loads and the tape -
cne tape - and - an ETC and an SO19. I don't
know whether they'll find out it's good or bad,
but if they do, that'll be a good thing. You'll
notice we - Let me back up a little. You'll
notice w_'ve got some bungees on there. Bring all
you can; you've got a lot in the command module.
_ring them on down because they're the one nicest
thing - one of the nicest things we have here.
Can always use them. Let's look at this - BMMD.
Another thing you want to train on because otherwise
you waste one whale of a lot of time here trying to
make it work. I'll tell you the secrets we found
out, or several. The straps, when you pull them
down, they got little locks up there. Let me see if
I can - snap this to something to show you. Okay,
I hope that doesn't float away. Okay, now point
right at the strap area.

253 02 36 01 CDR Now these - these straps don't work so grand when
you tighten them up. You tighten them up and try
to lift this up and have it catch this friction
device, it doesn't work. So what you do is tighten
it up good and reach up here behind your shoulder
with your finger and push that down. Like that.
You get these bolts very tight and if you do that,
that's one step in getting a good weighing. The
next step is, besides rigidizing it - old hat - is
2222

when you punch the button down here on the seat, be

sure that you punch it like you squeeze off a
trigger. Maybe marines know that; I don't know
about you, Bill, Air Force. Ed Gibson, he probably
doesn't do anything like that, but marines know
how to squeeze them off. But if you - if you wait
until everything's quiet and then squeeze it off
easy, believe me, you get a lot better readings.
If you don't, you just waste a lot of time up here
trying to get three of them close enough to report.
Usually know, we can hit it off the three times,
but it took a long time to - to really get it down,
particularly locking the thing. That's about it
up here - looking around now, I - I don't see any-
thing - He wants to show you inside the film vault;
nothing too much new there. Let me - I'm going to
unplug this and move down to the lower area and
work down there. So hold on.

253 02 38 26 CDR Okay, here we are downstairs. Let's see how it

works down here. Let's start over here right to .-.
the left side. You'll see things out of position
here. That's probably the way we have them most
o_ the time. OKay, t_ere's the - _ransuranzc
rays - nobody knows what that means, but - there
they are. Now right there's our clothesbag. We
just put a TSB there - not TSB, but a disposal
bag there. We put our dry clothes in there that
we think we can use for rags. Turns out rags are
the - a real winner up here, particularly when it
comes time to clean up. Trying to clean up with
these little - I'm talking about cleaning the
inside of the head or something like that with -
with - with those little paper things is rea - is
a waste of time. We use the paper things for
food and wiping off urine and things like that -
off ourselves. But we use rags for almost every-
thing else. When that fills up, we Just close it
up and shoot it down the trash airlock and put
another one up there. Anything that's wet, we put
in a bag right here. Now this bag right here is
the urine bag. And we always keep one there. You
can tell because it's got those things ... But
essentially, we never put more than two urine bags
in it, and then we try to put a few more other items
in there like wet towels and the like. But they're
always here. Any wet item goes in there, from the
head, and any dry item then goes over there. So
this means with - with three pieces of urine, you
F

2223

end up putting two in there and some things and

shooting it down the trash airlock in the morning.
Ycu can put one in there and it stays until the
next morning, at which you'd then put another one
in and then two. S_netimes you don't do this,
because - you have three little ones, and you
can shoot them down but mostly you try to do it
with two. We haven't had any trash-airlock prob-
lems, but I'll tell you this. This whole scheme
that somebody came up with that says you're going to
... it and freeze it: forget it. There is too
much. It's - it's out of sight. If we ever lost
that trash airlock, it would be one of the worst
things that could happen. The trash even smells in
2 or 3 days up here. You - You have - you have no -
you'd have no way to cope with it. It - it's
incredible. And - you got to be careful.

253 02 40 42 CDR When we give an inventory of these bags at the end,

if there's any doubt, bring extra bags because -
that's - a small price to pay compared to what could
happen, if - anything went on with - went on and
you - you - had a problem.

CDR Okay, now - let me turn down this comm. That's

been a headache up here that there's no end, to
t_{ to get these comm boxes right. And the way -
the way we finally ended up doing it, here - I
le_ this thing float; that's why it's looking
f_ny - is we - Down here, we put the one in the
wardroom on. And that's it. And now when -
Invariably somebody gets on the bike and can't
hear. He turns it up, he forgets to turn it off,
and problems occur, but - but we live through it.
So - it's Just a problem. You got to keep all
these down but one. And maybe you can keep them
up in your - bunk a little bit; but other than that,
it's bad news. Okay now, let me show you. There's
a fan we keep down here all the time; it's the
only fan we use, and we use it blowing on us when
we're biking. I use it a lot; Jack, some; Owen,
a little bit. We - You're going to have trouble
keeping your electrolytes up here, and be careful
about sweating too much. You can get in trouble.
BuT. I'll let the doctors talk about that. Here's
our - same old thing - Here's a little note that
tells us which cuffs to put on our legs. There's
all sorts of cuffs up here. We came up here and
they said pick two; then we picked two, and they
said those were the wrong two. Okay, so we said,
2224

"Send us what you want us to do." And the obvious

way is to have everybody using the same two - cuffs
on the legs. If you all can pull that off, it
would be perfect. Then you could put those two in
there and leave them in there. Don't put them back
in the drawer. We have it where Owen and I use the
same right, different left, Jack uses different
right and left, so we change them. But we still
use the same ones every time. And then the only
thing we report is the circumference of the calves.
The rest is old hat.

253 02 43 42 CDR Let's see what else. We got our checklist around;
same thing. There's the limits of the ergometer
Just pasted right there. Right there is where we
put the Mosite. You come against any Mosite, stick
it under there. It always comes handy. Up there's
a friendly - head light, and believe me, you ought
to use that more. I didn't use it for a while, and
I started using it the other day when I went down
to the plenum; it's great. By the way that plenum
is a nice change. You can float all over the place,
you can get those boxes out, you can carry things.
It's one of the more pleasant - surprises compared
to doing it in one g where it's a big pain.

253 02 44 01 CDR Here's the pad that we stick - Sorry for the light -
There's the pad that we stick on our heads when
we're biking. We put it there, on our heads, put
it up against that rail right here, that trough, and
then bike away. Let me back up, show you how our
bike's configured. I'm sure yours is the same way.
It works great. Had no trouble. The bike holding
on the handles - I never use the head rest hardly.
Jack used it almost completely. 0wen uses it
pretty much. Vacuum cleaner - look, it's floating
in the corner over there. We keep it stashed in the
corner. Then you don't have to unhook it; you Just
grab it out of there and bring it. Shower's down
there.

CDR Okay, let me see whatever else then. You'll notice

there's one bag of - During the day, I'm the only
one that works the trash airlock. I think you'd -
it'd be wise if you pick somebody. Because there's
a feel to the handles and things. And you really
need - you don't even have time to train three guys
to feel this thing and finally decide that they
know how to operate it. One of - Let me tell you
f-

2225

one of the tricks of it. I'll - I'll show you on

this thing in a minute. I won't dump anything.
Yes, let me dump something. I can't dump something
because there's nobody down there to push down the
lid. Well, let me show you what - let me see if I
can find a better place because it might be - just
might be useful.

CDR Okay. Now, let me talk to you a few minutes about

this thing, because it's a problem. This - this
particualr strut right here is the thing that's
bent, and you can't tell it because it's Just bent
very slightly. What happens is - By the way,
notice - notice the strap here. I'll tell you
what happens in the night, you float by this thing
with your toesy and put it about right here. Now
what you're doing is venting it - venting the cabin
air, and it run the pressure down and they'll have
to build it up for the night. Now - -

253 l0 37 30 CDR Okay, this is - this is Captain Bean up in Sky-

l_. This morning, we're - going to take some
EREP pictures of Africa. We Just covered the
coast. We just crossed the coast - of Africa.
We got clouds that are following the outline,
as you can see. What we're attempting to do
today is take some pictures of an area just south
of the Sahara Desert. This is part of a drought
a_'ea, in the Sahel, which is a six-nation area
a_ut 500 miles in width - north to south width -
2226

running from east to west - from the Atlantic to

the Red Sea. They've had a 4- or 5-year drought
in this area. What we hope to do in Skylah is to
take some pictures of this area and, through study
of these pictures, determine additional water
sources, a point where vegetation is not so affec-
ted by the drought. We know we aren't going to
be able to control the weather from here, with
this equipment and we can't prevent the lack of
rain. Perhaps we can forecast in ad - advance
what sorts of vegetation is - will be affected the
earliest. And perhaps from Skylab, be able to
see it affected even before someone on the ground.
Now we're coming up to the drought area. You
might be able to see on your ground - that -
that the - down below - on your TV, that the
ground below us is not nice and green, like it
should be, but brown, reddish, sandy colored.

253 I0 39 51 CDR The drought has been in effect for - or has been -
with these people over here - these 6 million
people - for 4 or 5 years. It's affected them
greatly. Relief supplies are sent there frequently,
but it's hard to supply 6 - food for 6 million
people - for a very long time.

I'll start again, when you're ready.

2227

253 i0 h4 20 CDR Okay, here's the continent of Africa. This has

been our orbital path. The Sahel is an area
that's about 500 miles in width, extending south
from the Sahara. Here's the Sahara, from the
Atlantic to the Red Sea. This area right here is
under an extreme drought condition now, caused by
lack of rain for the past 4 or 5 years, or a
minimum of rain for the last h or 5 years. This
is a six-nation area and in that area, millions -
several millions of people live. Now from Skylab,
we're not going to make it rain, but we think from
Skylab, we can look down with suitable sensors -
photographs we use - we actually did Just a few
moments ago - look down with these sensors and
find areas that are not so affected by the drought,
the5 might not be obvious to a man on the ground.
We also think we'll be able to determine areas
which have high probability of water tables not
too distant below them. In other words, find
spots that are - are - are good for possible
digging of wells, for possible planting of - of
. crops where other plots - parts - spots nearby aren't
so possible. We think this will be possible on a
worldwide basis - basis, with equipment such as we're
using in Skylab and with equipment such as we're
using in our unmanned satellite ERTS.

briefing the first ATM run of the day, which began
at 10:22. We got the co-op Nu z updates and we
did the synoptic J0P 6. We did - J0P 2 Delta
on the three active regions you specify. Active
region 9 is - almost out of sight. You asked
for - some work on S056, active region 19, and
instead of the ACTIVE l, LONG, we gave you SINGLE
frames from SHORT, FILTERS l, 3, and 5. We got
a/L1 the rest of the data. We have two promi-
nences - roughly - 070 and 120, which - I think
it was the one of 120 is - is very well defined.
2228

And - and is a very interesting feature. Neither

one are listed on the solar activity pad. The
activity this morning is somewhat quieter than
it was last night. The PMEC is running around
the - 300 to 400 most of the time and - so things
have quieted down a little bit. The corona
doesn't appear to have any transients in it. And

then I gave you a little TV, took you on a tour of
the Sun. And I did the atmospheric sen - extinction
at 2 minutes. During the time we were doing the
TV, I noticed a little bright spot in active re-
gion 24 and - went back to it and I did a little
mirror line scanning on it, but - it never turned

the microbiologist. We ran the microbiology -
one of three this morning. And - microbiology -
one, IMSS i, let me tell you some of the places
that we did and we'll try to get them end to end -
exact places. Some of these sites are pretty
seLf-explanatory, like site i, site 2, site 3.
Now let me tell you where we did that. We did
that - now the handles are in the position that
they - they are in - don't talk about handles,
talk about the safety pin. The safety pin to the
h_idle is restrained by a - a long - a - about
a 6-inch-long metal - wire. We made the sample
right below that metal wire area. 0WS wall fill
behind - belt fall [?] on exterior wall at the
place where the probe is mounted and we did the
sample sites and that's - the - the - skeleton
probe and we marked it on the place where the
skeleton probe - hole is on the wall there. On
site 5, we did it between the - waste management
compartment blower number 2 and - window heater
_ number 2 switches. But we put it the second from
the top row of switches.

253 13 40 h3 CDR Fairing over cables running to light switch panel 30,
we did that about 1 inch from the bottom of that
fairing, because, above that, we have - the
messages from - for next week's plans. You know,
what we're going to be doing the following week.

CDR Fine filter, we did it halfway between the cone

and the rim.

CDR Site 9, we did it just above the spot in the mid-

dle that's cut out. In other words, there's a
big blank, there's a big - pressure plate; the
pressure plate has sort of a cutout in the middle
and - we did it Just above that point.

CDR Exterior waste processor, we did it right under

the suit decal. That's site i0. Site ii, hand-
rail in front of locker 820. We did it on the
part that's facing away from the blowers about
2 inches from the end closest to - locker 820.
Site 12, we did it about halfway down, but to
the right of the - center, because we keep our
food menus there and I didn't want it in behind
- the foodmenus.
2230

253 13 42 I0 CDR The food heater tray that we used was Jack Lousma's.
It's not exactly a 3-inch square there because he
has a piece of tape that he sticks his pills to.
So we did it in the area sort of - just a little
bit below and left of the - timer module. And -
about a 2-inch area in that point. That's site 13.
Site 14, we used _mmediately to the left of the
gage facing you and looking at - at the body of
the handle. And those are - the essential things.
Now that goes to biomed and to - to anybody inter-
ested in IMSS reports.

got 4.407. Let's do a couple more for you, be-
cause it seems to be a pretty good scatter. The
one thing we don't know is should we have the
handle already pulled out before we put our hand
over the stand pipe and then Just push in, or
should we put our hand on the stand pipe and pull
out and then push in? We did the first one _-ith
the hand over the stand pipe, pull out and in; the
second one with the hand off the stand pipe; the
third one with the hand on the stand pipe for out

about the last ATM run which finished about 15:50
zulu. The minilimb scan went quite well. I did
find a spot that showed up on XUV MON as a region
of considerable limb brightness. I believe that's
active region 9 on the back side, the limb at this
point that 's responsible, really. I believe it' s
been sithted over the limb, and rolled to the point
of about maximum brightness in 82B above the limb of
the Sun. And the three chromospheric exposures
in 56 went off fine. The initial pointing -
Incidentally, I - I started from about minus 4 arc
seconds. In other words, 4 arc seconds
below the limb, and that was - that placed S055,
MIRROR position 9/32 ; therefore 4 arc seconds
inside the limb. It Jittered around a little bit
and may have been up to 5 arc seconds inside the
limb.

253 15 57 20 SPT I ventured one step out to 33. It was still -

showed gray and took two more steps to row 35,
which took me two steps off the limb, and did the
first GRATING, 3 SCAN at that point. Went to
row 37, did another pair, then came back to 33,
which took me Just onto the limb, just barely onto
the limb, and did two GRATING SCANs. Then went
out to limb 30 - to column 34 and filled in that
gap with two more GRATING, AUTO SCANs. So really
you got a little bit more data than you'd asked for
 2233

there, one extra position intermediate between 33

and 35. The XUV positions were all nominal.
They might have been 1 arc second different from
the desired position off the limb because the point
... is jumping back and forth between two num-
bers by about i arc second, so it's very close.

253 15 58 24 SPT And I noticed that to work that extra GRATING SCAN
in, I did miss getting the J0P 7 on the end of
the orbit. Thought I'd have time to complete it,
b_b I didn't quite get it set up; so no JOP 7
results at the end of that pass. A1 picked up
that silicon III at GRATING 620 on the end of
another orbit. And the visual limb scan went
fine. There is time to get it done, but it does
require staying on the Job. You can't do too
many other things at the same time, and of course,
that's to be expected.

253 15 58 57 SPT End of message to the ATM PIs and planners from
the SPT.

253 16 00 07 CDR This is the CDR. We - Jack finished his 171 run.
When he finished, he kept the mouthpiece in his
mouth. We reset the timer to 20 minutes. I'ii
give you a high and low cal; he's going to run
for another 15 minutes on the bike, and when we're
finished another 20 minutes on the bike, and - so
he's going to run. Whenever he can get finished,
I'll come down here and give another cal and then
read you the CABIN AIR.

the way, during the normal 171 run I forgot to
start - give a recycle at 19 because we were having
some - some LBNP dump problems - not LBNP, CMG.
CMG problems, so we won't - soon as I could I got
back to it.

253 17 57 09 CDR CDR, out. That's for EREP.

253 18 i0 24 CDR Okay, this is the CDR; we're at T minus i0 on EREP

run. I'ii check all the readings on the monitor
decals and give you a call. First is a A-2,
92 percent which is high, and it's been high every
time. I won't say any more about it. A-3,
86 percent; acceptable. A-4, 71 percent; acceptable.
A-5, 66 percent; acceptable. A-6, about a little
bit less than zero, and it says the limit's zero
to 7, so I'm assuming zero. So A-2 is not doing
so well at the moment. Okay, B-2, 62 percent;
that is acceptable. B-3, 76 percent; acceptable.
B-4, 71 percent; acceptable. B-5, 74 percent;
acceptable.

253 18 ll 25 CDR B-6, 50 percent; acceptable. B-7, 32 percent;

were good. C-2, 44 percent; acceptable. C-3,
78 percent; acceptable. C-4, 98 percent; acc -
oh, oh. C-4 is bad again. C-4 is 98 and the limit's
from 55 to 85. C-5, 84 percent; it's just within
limits. C-6, 46 percent; good. C-7, 50 percent
and that's good.

253 18 12 12 CDR So C-4 is a baddy. Okay, let's go to D-2. D-2

is 86 percent and that's out of limits. So we got
another one out of limits. D-3 is 85 percent;
that's a little bit out of limits, too. D-4 is
72 percent; that's okay. D-5, 13 percent; that's
 2235

acceptable. D-6, 57 percent; acceptable. D-7

doesn't count. So we've got A-2 out; B is all in;
C-2 is out; D-2, which is 86 instead of 79; and
D-3, which is 85 instead of 83. But they may make
it. Let me read the ones that are critical to you
again. B-T, 31 percent; B-8, 1 percent; D-7,

off and then on, and then reset it. Otherwise
there's no reset. Right? Okay. Yes, but then
you're liable to interrupt a sequence, I've noticed

also there's a TACS INHIBIT that's listed in there,
but the GMT is after the second EREP pass. You'll
want to be sure and leave TACS, ENABLED between the
two passes.

253 18 35 06 CDR Sounds like a good idea. Thank you, Dick, for the

253 20 56 27 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel 3 -

channel A on day 253, recording the results of the
temp 3 assignment, measuring workshop temperatures
in the experiment compartment, wardroom, waste
management and sleep compartments. Here are the
following readings: first one was lettered Mike,
and it was requested to have it on locker 615 in
the experiment compartment, which there isn't one.
But I assume you meant panel 615, which is the
circuit breaker panel over on the electrical control
panel. So that's where I read the first one. It
was Mike, 75; November, 72.0; Oscar was 70.5.
These letters all refer to those on the Systems
Checklist. Papa was 73.0; Quebec was 69.8; Romeo,
71.9. Wardroom: Sierra, 71.8; Tango, 72.8;
Uniform 72.2. Waste management compartment:
Victor, 70.4; Whiskey, 72.2; X-ray, 70.6. Sleep
compartment: Yankee, 70.2; Zulu, 70.1; and double
Zulu was 70.1. That's the end of the message on
the temp 3 - temperature number 3 readings on
day 253.

253 20 58 14 PLT Thank

 2257

253 21 52 37 PLT This is Jack on channel A, space fans. This is

for the Earth-observation folks, probably the
EREP people. I made a few more observations that
are of a general nature that appear frequently in
the - the handheld photo request, and observation
request you sent up. Number 1 is about lava flows.
You've asked us many times to look at the lava as
the volcanic activity in the Central American
areas, and I noticed that there - most of the
terrain is covered with trees. Only way you can
tell, it's very irregular and rough. And it's
very difficult to tell a whole lot about the
volcanic activities except places like Guatemala
and so forth, where it's very evident. You can
see right down the funnels of some of them. But
other than that, there are several places where
there are not any - apparently not any trees,
but it - it looks like a big, blackened area,
which could very well be a lava flow.

f 253 21 53 44 PLT And so you can spot that kind of thing from the
air. And the thing that reminded me of it was,
in just going over Hawaii, we - I took a good look
at the big island, and having tramped around that
island a couple of different times looking at
geology, I remember that many of those black flows
flow down the side of the mountain and right down
to the sea. And - and they don't have any vegeta-
tion in them there; Just pure black lava flows
and some fairly recent. And they are very recog-
nizable from our vantage point up here in Skylab.
You can see all those very easily. You see all
those black lava flows because they stand out and
are in a pretty high contrast with the area around
it that has shrubs on it and also in contrast with
other, lighter areas, which are - which are ash
flows and areas where ash has fallen.

253 21 5h 42 PLT Also, the cuts that water has made in those -
some of those features as it flows on the - flows
down to the sea off the sides of the hill. And
you can see it erodes away the - The soil is very
evident.
2258

253 21 5h 59 PLT Another subject is the Big Horn Mountains. Now

we've had many requests to look for faults, and
the faults have got to be pretty big to see it
from here. Sometimes you can see linear features
that could be faults, but on the other hand, they
could be s_nething else, too. I guess about the
best kind of fault that we could spot from here
is where you have some offset, mountain peaks
where you have some ridges that obviously were
continuous at one time which are offset now. And
you can see some of that here and there.

253 21 55 37 PLT Now the Big Horn Mountains - You asked us to look
for crustal cracking here, particularly in the
interface between the plains and the - and the
mountain ranges. And there are places down there.
I guess you couldn't - couldn't see if they were
crustal cracks, but they look from here to be,
in lots of cases, Just erosional features, where
streams have gouged their way through and make
the crust look a little bit cracked. But who
knows? Maybe the crack was there and the stream
Just filled it up, or maybe the - there's no crack
at all. Maybe it's just the stream. So crustal
cracking, in that sense, is hard to detect,
although I did notice on some of the interface
boundaries between Big Horn Mountains and the
plsins that there were some very much linear
features that kind of ran north and south which
were not exactly straight lines. They curved a
little bit here, but they all were fairly parallel.
There might have been about, oh, l0 or 12 of them
in a row, north and south.

253 21 56 42 PLT And they really looked like - they looked like
inclines, or maybe that's not the right word, but
anyway, inclines or anticlines that were once
hills but had had the tops eroded away, such that
the layers protrude out, forming outcrops above
the - the rest of the terrain. Now that's the
way that these linear features that interface
between the Big Horns and the plains look. Now
this is the - where I was looking was around Great
Falls, Montana. There were some a little north
of that, too.
 2259

253 21 57 23 PLT So maybe this was crustal cracking; I don't know.

Maybe crust - the crust cracked and upturned and
- and formed that. But on the other hand, fr_n
this vantage point, it's difficult to tell if
that happened or if that's incline or anticline
features. The only thing that makes you think
that it's probably not this incline or anticline
is that there se_m_ to be only one side on each -
on each of these upturned ridges or whatever they
_e. There only seems to be one side. There's
not a corresponding other side of the hill, so
to speak. So perhaps that's sc_e evidence of
crustal cracking, although you'll have to evaluate
that. But those are the features that we could
see. And - and whether or not that's the feature
that is called crustal cracking or not is not
_parent to me at the moment.

253 21 58 13 PLT (Re other thing that has aroused some interest is
the - the pattern of the terrain in - in Canada,
Just east of Michigan, between the little peninsula
that sticks down between Windsor and Toronto, I
guess you might say. And let me see - On my map,
it's called something partic - in particular.

253 21 58 38 PLT Well, it's the peninsula that sticks into Lake
Huron and Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. And at one
end is Toronto, and at the other end is Windsor,
where it's Joined against Michigan. Now that
area there - I would say that Hamilton, Ontario
is right in the middle of that area, and it is
Ontario, the province of Ontario. There's a very
definite waffle pattern, and it looks to me like
the lines go southeast-northwest, and then they
cross at some right angles and go northeast-south-
west. In other words, right angles northeast-south-
west and northwest-southeast.

253 21 59 28 PLT And what it looks like is that somebody had Just
taken a big plow and every 20 or 40 miles, or
whatever it represents (Maybe it's more like
l0 to 20 miles.), has dug a furrow and made several
parallel ones at right angles in those directions
d_at I've indicated. And it cover's that whole -
that whole peninsula. It's not Just a small area.
.... It covers the whole peninsula. It looks like in
those furrows vegetation is growing and green.
And then that's in the groove, you might say.
2260

Then up on the land it's more brown, where it

looks like your agriculture is underway and so
forth. But a very definite, very regular pattern.
It looks like it's too big a thing to be - to be
made by man, but looks like too regular a thing
to have been made by nature. So it's kind of a
real curiosity. And I don't know if we've got a
picture of it yet or not, but we're trying to get
in a good position to get one.

253 22 00 31 PLT And it could be that scmeday way back in history,

they divided the land up that way and asked every-
body to divide off their land with trees or
something, but I don't know.

253 22 00 h5 PLT But that's what it looks like, but it's too doggone
regular. And although the waffles are kind of
square waffles and - It's one of the most unusual
and curious flatland features that I've seen frcm
space. But it gives you a few more observations
on - Oh, one other observation. Up in the Canada
area, say between Winnipeg and - and east of there,
probably over Lake Superior in the - ... up on
the - southeast of James Bay, in the area where
there are so many lakes, it also appears that you
can see these glacier-related features from this
altitude, because there are many - Many of these
lakes appear to be - have been dug out in parallel
fashion, and same of the islands you see apparently
have streks in them that make it look like they've
been scraped. So that's another feature that's
kind of interesting to view from this altitude
and one which, from this altitude, is very evident
and perhaps from lower altitudes is not quite so
clear. So the purpose of this discussion was
Just to give you a little more feeling for what
kind of features you can recognize on a macro-
scopic scale and what kind you cam recognize on a
miscroscopic one, to give you a feel for - for what
you can see from space.

253 22 02 18 PLT And this is the end of the message to the Earth-
observation folks or EREP people, whoever is inter-
ested in this kind of thing.

12-7/16 inches. His legbands and all the other
equipment we're using is the same as they've been
in the past. So no change on that. And don't go
away.

253 23 39 57 PLT We'11 be talking to you later.

#H#
 2262 DAY 254 (AM)

254 00 27 28 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A again.

The subject is our continuing run on M171. 0wen
went through the M092 with no problem. And cali-
brated the metabolic analyzer all over again,
because it had been sitting there a long time and -
Well, those numbers didn't look too good to me.
So N2, 02, CO 2 GAS PRESS was 1403, and that for

the N2 and water bottle was 1358. Cabin pressure

is 5.516, and constituents are as follows: PER-
CENT 02, 68.44; PERCENT WATER is 2.11; PERCENT CO2
is 1.93. And we're getting ready to do the VITAL
CAPACITY test now; so we're going off for now, but
we'll he right back.

254 00 37 36 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack again on channel A,

with more numbers for the MI71 run on Owen. We
Just did the VITAL CAPACITY test, and his three
readings were as follows: 4.006, 3.953, 3.763.

25h 00 37 55 PLT That's all ! got for now, but we'll be back with
some more data later.

TIME SKIP

254 01 09 41 CDR This is CDR, debriefing the last ATM run. It went
exactly nominal.

254 01 09 49 CDR We did item 13, and then we did the ...

TIME SKIP

254 01 22 37 PLT Okay, this is Jack on channel A again concluding

M171 and Owen's - -

CDR Let's go .... helps you hold.

PLT - - extra pedaling for physical training during

which time he was sensored up and also hooked up
to the metabo - bolic analyzer. So his exercise
period on the ergometer followed immediately .....
directly after his }4171 run. And you'll find the
 2263

data all there. And we waited until now to do

our final store of CABIN AIR, and the PERCENT 02
right now is 6B.95; PERCENT WATER is 8.46; PERCENT
C02 is 1.84.

254 01 23 18 PLT And that completes the M092 and 171 on Owen and
end of message for the bio - biomed folks. Thank
you.

254 01 43 16 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. We're picking up on the

remainder of the debriefing, I mean the briefing
for Jerr. It's called TV inventory. I am floating
around the lower area of the workshop. I'll
knock -The other day I - I went along until the -
until the TV played out. I wasn't really sure
where it played out, so I'm picking up down here
even though I may have left off something. The
last thing I did up there was a discussion of
the - the chair, the BMMD; and if you don't get
that, let me know and I'll put it on here, Bill,
Ed or anybody.

254 01 44 02 CDR Okay. Let's start in this corner again. Now I

did - I showed this last night, but then I got
to where the tape was gone, so I'm Just picking
up here. If I've shown it to you before, Just
ignore it. Bear with me, and maybe we'll get to
something new here in a few minutes. You can see
the transuranic cosmic ray items. They're hanging
up there, and I assume you're going to be taking
them back. Let me show you something about these
comm boxes. That little light's on, of course,
showing it's RECORD. We've had a lot of trouble
with the comm boxes up here; it's been one of
the things that's disturbed us most. You'll notice
that this one's Just - The theory is to put them
all at 9 o'clock and they won't squawk. Good
idea. You'll notice that's lO o'clock.

254 01 h4 46 CDR At l0 o'clock you Just barely can hear if you're

next to the box. So it's a great theory on the
ground, and it looks great in the lab, but up
here it isn't worth a darn. Because if you want
to hear, you got to put it up around ll o'clock or
so; and that means if anybody else nearby is at
f ii o'clock,you're going to squeak. So all -
What we've generally done is tried to keep most
of them in the workshop down except the one in
 226_

the wardroom. When you're riding the bike, you

got to turn one up to hear. You miss - you want
to hear all the messages because that's all you -
how you know what's going on up here. And many
times there - Somebody will Roger for you, think-
ing you're hearing and you didn't. And it gets
a little difficult.

254 01 45 28 CDR So if you can discipline yourself to turn on the

com_box when you're riding the bike, and if
somebody's going to answer in the wardroom, turn
it down, or when you leave, turn it down, it'll
be a lot better. Also up by the SAL, you tend to
turn that one on to. If you could Just discipline
yourself to turn it off. We haven't been able
to, but maybe you can. You're now looking at the
clothes bag. We put that bag over there. Put
old dry clothes in there, use them for rags and
they work out real well. When it fills up, we
shoot it doe the trash airlock. Somtimes when we
need a couple of extra items in a trashbag, we'll
put - We'll go over and get some clothes out and
put them in, and that way we don't waste so many
bags. Okay, let's look around and see what we
see.

25_ 01 46 09 CDR Camera's Just mounted up there. It's setting

there. You're now noticing the only fan we use
in the workshop. This is the one we've got set-
ting around. We used to blow it on us on the
bike. The idea is it makes your heart rate lower,
which is nice. But mostly it keeps you from
sweating so much, so it saves the salt. And
you'll find up here that that's one of the things
you'd sort of like to save. You don't get that
much in the way of minerals, and you don't want
to sweat them off your bod. So we've put that
there and then start out with it off, and then in
about 5 minutes, we turn it on low and then a
little later on high, and you can direct it; it
works out pretty good. You can see our tape
recorders. Now these tape recorders are okay
except for one thing, and here's an exact - a good
example. It's a nice tape recorder. If you look
close, you'll see that it's on, but the tape is
stopped. Now that's what ruins these wheels. It _.
seems to ruin them, not on a permanent basis, but
it makes you have to clean them.
 2265

254 01 47 i0 CDR So you want to make sure that you bring up with
you, not only swabs to clean EREP, but you need
about twice as many to clean these little tape
recorders because you end up having to clean each
of them about once every B days. And the little
wheel gets black. It's too bad they can't come
up with a better little black wheel that doesn't
wear off like that, but I think it's our own
fault because we're not careful enough with those
recorders. Now first thingwe did was divide them
all up so everybody had one, but we found out that
was bad because then you had to carry yours around.
So now we got one by the ATM that stays up there,
these two here. Jack sometimes takes one of these
into his quarters, and the rest of the time they
Just stand right here.

254 01 47 48 CDR Same way with an extension plugged to them; we

Just leave one up there. When you go up there,
you take your music up. Here is the friendly
little LBNP. You'll notice that we've got one
cuff hanging there, and then we got the other one
Just kind of hanging over there. We don't use it
very often; we try to always use the same one, which
is number ll. We have a little message there
from Houston that tells us which legbands to use,
and you should get that. And all three of you
could use the same two. That would be the way to
go because that saves changing them out; you could
Just leave them hanging there.

254 01 48 21 CDR As it is, ours have to be different. Owen and I

have the same right leg, which makes it nice,
right legband. And then different left legbands
for the left. Cards, don't use them too much.
There's the case with all the data. We Just put
our cards up. So any - All the runs we make
normally; 92, 9B, 92/171 are all right out and
mounted. Subject 171, subject 92; you can get at
them and get going. There's the hose hanging on.
A lot of times we'll disconnect that hose and
leave both ends out. When we do, we'll put it
over there in the corner and wrap it around that
standpipe once. It lets both ends dry and that
wasn't done today when Owen finished his run.

254 01 49 04 CDR We've mounted our own records there so that we

can see how we've been doing on the bike on the
 2266

Earth and see how we're doing here. I used the

pad that we put on our heads sometimes and bike
right up here. Let me poke this a little for you.
We'll put it on our heads and put our head against
this tray and then bike. Sometimes we Just hold
on to the side. It's kind of dealers choice and
just depends on how you like to ride. Sometimes
your arms get tired and you'll do it one way,
and sometimes you'll feel good and you want to
get some exercise, you'll do it another. Okay,
let's see what else. You're now looking at the
vacuum cleaner over there in the corner. We Just
leave it hanging there.

254 O1 49 57 CDR It's quite quick to get it out and use it; get a
bag and put it in. We Just put a new bag in
every time we use it. It gives us good suction,
as good as it can get. You do a lot of TOOB.
You need to be up on doing that.

254 O1 50 1B CDR It doesn't take long to learn, but you do a lot

of them so it's worth training on it. Centrifuge
has been working good. You'll see the SOP there.
Happens to be upside down; we've got it on one,
snap and it's upside down. We don't move them
around. We keep one here on this wall, one on
the other wall over there. And then one in the
MDA and one in the command module. Nobody moves
them. You Just - I timed it the other day from
the wardroom table to the command module:
15 seconds. So why would you want to move this thing
anywhere but right there? If you want it, great;
if you don't, you can head for the command module
and get there in 15 seconds, even in the dark.
You don't have any trouble. Here's Dr. Owen
Garriott. You may recognize him. He's doing his
favorite pastime, which is eating.

254 01 51 05 CDR You'll notice that he's eating some overage food.
I know that'll stir you up a little bit, but he's
got to live. He's been losing weight. All of
us have tried to keep our weight the same, and
it's Just taking more food than we thought to do
it. Nobody's gaining any up here. Owen's been
losing, but he's been eating a lot more lately.
I think he's arrested. He's leveling it off, as
he's saying. Owen's one that sort of doesn't put
his food in the tray and heat it beforehand; he sort
of eats it right at the mealtime.
 2267

254 01 51 36 CDR Jack and I tend to get our trays before the meal,
and get it all fixed up and put it in there, and
the tops on and the timer set. So it Just depends.
These little waterguns are nice. one of the things
we've noticed up here is you got to force yourself
to drinkwater.

254 01 51 51 CDR Every time I come by this room, I get two or three
drinks of water, whether I'm thirsty or not, Just
to have it. And it's - it's been one of the things
that's made it better. Lot better in here. Let
me slide around into here. Okay, you can see
that we got multiple notes on here. Owen's Just
got his little yellow book right here. Let me
give you some closeups. He's got his little yellow
book right here that he carries around. And
normally he has it in his pocket but he's apparently
going to take some items out of there. There's
all the medpads so you can see how your weight
ws.s 2 weeks ago or anything like that.

254 01 52 23 CDR There's his Flight Plan for tomorrow. It comes

up in the evening and you stash it around because
you don't have room in your little yellow book
yet. And right next to it, some other things he's
got. There the spider vials, and there's a pen
for him to use. Notice the bungees. Those bungees,
if we had eno1,_, ought to be on every locker.
Now, the thing - They aren't the greatest thing
in the world, but notice here. In order to get
them to hook, you got to have some of the hook
kind. And although they're kind of dangerous, I
believe that's the kind you ought to bring up.
You ought to take the command module one, and
offload them; and get these little hook kinds and
bring them up, and then Just stash them around.
We got plenty up here now, but it wouldn't hurt
to have more. This little table for our night
checklist has worked well, O. - Ed. We Just put
it there, and I get up in the morning and write
down the water readings.

254 01 53 17 CDR We used to take it up by the BMMD. It's crazy.

You only got four _ers there, and you can
remember - remember them quite easily. Four -
four-place numbers, three times. Usually -
hopefully,they're close together, so you remember.
2268

If they're not close together, you usually run

one or two until you get three close together and
you remember them. So we Just leave it here and
go up there and do it, and then come back and
write it down. And everybody writes his own urine.
Everybody keeps up with his own food.

254 01 53 42 CDR When the nightly report time comes, I Just go over
and read what's there. And if it isn't there,
well, it's up to the guy to bring it in. And I've
noticed that everybody is real good about getting
the word down and putting it on there. I'd recom-
mend using that place. It doesn't interfere and
it's good local place. You'll notice right here
that Jack's brought down the - Let me close the
window. Jack's brought down the film log. That
turned out to be one of the big - toughest things
to do, mainly because you're always using film
until the last minute. And then after you use it,
it just seems difficult to get that thing accurate.
Maybe it's because people are checking on you all
the time, and they find out how confused you are.
But anyhow, there it is and as soon as Jack gets
it done, he tries to get it done around Earth time
7 or 8 o'clock, and that way when we have a
lO o'clock report, it's there in advance because
you get tied up and you're liable to miss it.

254 01 54 34 CDR Okay. There's the so called stabilized binocs. I

found them to be poor in that you have to adjust
the eyepieces every time, and they have a different
adjustment every time.

254 01 54 48 CDR Somethings wrong with the eyepieces; I don't know

what. Maybe we can get it fixed. But if you get
them fixed then the batteries last a long time.
We're still on our same first set of batteries.
And they do a good Job. But having to focus them
every time - By that time, the target is gone
almost. Okay, you'll see our Hasselblad - I mean
our Nikon, and the spotmeter right next to it.
Now right over here is the book, you can see it
kind of ruffled, that we put the Nikon stuff.

254 01 55 16 CDR Okay, on this side we have the Hasselblad goodies.

There's the Hasselblad, and here's this little
book. And I think we've done real well keeping
up with those. It - it - You Just have to keep in
 2269

the, habit. Yes, you need a lot more film; you

need to get more out-the-window film. Okay, here's
some information on these EREP handheld targets.
You're going to have to do a lot of work on those
if you want to get some good information out of
them. Let me zoom in on them a little bit for
you. EREP handheld target information there.
Like I say, we've - we haven't got this as neat
as we normally keep our offices, but we're not in
the business of keeping it clean. We're - It's
clean, but the business that - We're in the
business of having things out where we can get at
them fast.

254 01 56 02 CDR Down in there is the - one of the maps. Let me

show you something here while we wait. We use
this map a lot. This is the one with the multiple -
Show them the pictures there, Big O. Multiple
pics - We use that a lot.

f 254 O1 56 l_ CDR If you had one even more detailed it would be nice,
but it serves the purpose. Okay, now let me show
you also on this one. Let's see if I can get
close enough for this to show you. Maybe I can
zoom in. That'll give it a little class. Who
said this doesn't have class? Just a second; it'll
have to come back. I don't know why it doesn't
want to show. Let's see if it shows here. Too
close, huh? Okay, there it is. You'll notice
we've got a little squares and circles - hold still
there - squares - -

PLT Okay, Bob. We're hearing the music.

CDR - --little squares and circles on it, and that's

the EREP target.

252 Ol 56 57 CDR So we put our slides on, and then you can find -
I'm out of focus here. And then you can find
where you're going over and where the targets are.
Now that's pretty rudimentary. It's written on
there. You can come up with a better one. Some
sort of - what I think you need is some sort of
maybe plastic stickers to stick over there; some-
thing that you can remove. So when the targets
f go away,you can remove it. We didn'thave the
luxury of that; we Just wrote it on therewith
Pentel, but it's helped us find the targets faster.
2270

You can take targets that weren't called up. I'm

going back now to the old zoom. What else up here?
Let me show you something. On the ceiling - We
use the ceiling a lot. Right there's the vitamin
pills hanging in that little strap.

254 01 57 41 CDR Over there's the can crusher. Let me mention

something we do with the can crusher. Every can
that we get that doesn't have food in it, for
example, a dry instant - -

SPT We got a Nuz update. I hope you like it.

254 01 57 52 CDR For instance the can that the strawberries comes
in. It never gets dirty, so we throw the straw-
berry plastic away, down in the normal place, and
then we crush the can in there and put it in there.
Same thing with the break can, for example. We
try to crush anything and minimize the space.
It's worked out real good. Let me show you inside
the chiller. Here's something that they need to
fix that'll give you a good idea. Now there's the
inside of our chiller. And - -

SPT We got the IN_S out.

254 01 58 20 CDR - - we got IMSS out. As you can see, we Just got
the cans in there. So that's one good deal. Now
you'll notice we got some of those little inserts
of the cans mounted on the wall. Well, they work
great because you can put your drinks in there.
However, they only work great for a little while
because the glue comes off and then there's - The
snap comes off. So if you could come up with some
kind of tape that would work in a - a chilled
icebox, which I'm sure there's a lot of it, bring
up a roll. You could tape these things in here
and it wouldn't be near as messy as you see this
now. In other words, you could tape those IMSS
cans to the back neatly. You could tape two or
three of those racks to the side, and then you
could put your drinks in there as we've got a
couple further back in there. Everybody could
have his rack for food. You'll see strawberries
in that can there. I'm - I'm pointing right at
the center of the screen. That should be tacked
to the side, but it Just won't stay.
 2271

254 Ol 59 12 CDR We started taking the tapes off the can and putting
them there so we could use it. We found we never
used it. We hadn't taken the tape down but we
will. My recommendation is Just throw the tape
from the can away; you got plenty of tape. Here's
where Jack puts some of his extra cans. One of
them's got butter cookies, one of them's got pea-
nuts, and one of them's got drinks. So he can
Just reach around and get them and - Now he - he
needs that, because he fills up his shelf. The
rest of us don't, and so we tend to Just take the
bottom shelf, and at the back we put overage.
Right there's for me is a couple of overage peaches
and some pears. And what we don't eat we'll take
back up and put back up. They've asked us to eat
a couple of fruits a day to keep our potassium up,
so we're working on that.

254 Ol 59 57 CDR Set of binoculars. Notice the clip on there. You

need more. Let me show you some clips. Here's
some clips you could stand to send up about five
of, Jerr. It's these kinds that we used to have
in the LM, you know. They're handy, but we Just
don't have enough of them. You ought to bring
about five of those. Look in the head to see
what's going on in there. By the way, that's where
we keep our urine disposal bag. We keep one there.
We usually put two of them in there and then we
put a few extra other things that we've got and
shoot it down the trash. Sometimes when you get
three and vent them, it'll Jam the lock. It won't
"Jam it, but it'll be tight. We don't like that,
so we go ahead and Just put two in there. It's
best to waste bags. Don't fill them up. Don't -
don't try to prove how much you can get in it
because once you've proved the limit, you're
sunk. Okay, I keep my towels here. O. keeps his
here. Jack keeps his over there. Makes it okay.

254 02 O1 00 CDR Down there we usually have a rag from the ragbag.
And that's the thing we use to wipe out the inside
of the urinal and the inside of the pressure plate
and everything in the morning. Then we throw that
one away into the urine bag - urine disposal bag
you Just saw - get out another one. So every day
we_ve got a - a rag nearby and that's the one we
use sort of for that day. So far that magnetic
2272

thlng's the ..., boy. If we didn't have that little

magnetic catch, it'd be a mess. One of the things
we found out to be nice here is where we snap the -
the little list of what to do with - with the
urine.

254 02 01 33 CDR My suggestion to you is have one but don't have

them fill in the part that says whether it's half
or full. And they ought to also fill in on there -
have in there blanks so you can put down which
place you put the blood, whose blood goes where.
Because they have - They change the rules every
once in a while. You can see on the waste proces-
sors we put up little stickers. And on the stick-
ers - little stickers and the - the - We've written
on them the time that - that we put the last one
in and that way Just leave them in there until
you need one. You look around to see what was in
there and if it doesn't belong, take it out, fold
it up, put it down here in the next to the bottom
shelf and then press on. We keep a pen up here --
where we can get to it to write on. Notice the
bungee. We need more of them in here. Here's
one. Let me show you how I've done the inside of
my - inside of my hygiene kit locker.

254 02 02 39 CDR Now this is a bad show because I Just moved some-
thing in here the other day. Let me move it out
because it isn't atypical. Okay, let's see if
we can see in there. May not be able to make it.
I'll back up a little further, because a - This
sure hadn't made it easier in operating in that
little compartment. Okay, here we go. What I've
done is put Velcro on everything. And then every -
nothing floats around in there. At first everything
was floating. But by having Velcro on there, it
makes it awful nice.

25h 02 03 16 CDR Now let's see what's going on in somebody elses.

It's always a eye-opener. Here's hygiene kit 1.
Let's see what's going on in that locker. Nothing
too bad; a couple of items floating. You'll
notice that that's Owen's locker and he's got his
kit in there and right next to it is the OBS
electrode kit. That's the kit everybody thinks
is in his sleep compartment, which doesn't make
sense, because you always use it in here when you
go EVA, so we Just put it in here. My suggestion
to you, Jerr, is to take the dopp kit I'm going to
 2273

leave up here. The names removed from Velcro; I'ii

Just take my name off it and stick your name on it
then you'll have a nice clean kit and you can fill
it up with whatever you want. Keep - keep whatever
I've got and throw away the rest. Do whatever you
like.

254 02 04 08 CDR Now here's where I put my final night's checklist.

That's one of the best things because when I go
to bed, I see that thing and then I say, "Okay,
are the lights off? Is the equipment off?" Equip-
ment usually being like the metabol, not the
metabolic analyzer but the - the bike and all that
you use sometimes late. And the SAL configured.
In other words, "Is it in PRESS and closed and
locked?" The next one is, "How about the - Heaters
are off? The dumps complete?" That's the dump
heaters and are - are the heaters off. I check
that and make sure they are. And that usually
works out pretty good. Then I say, "How about
the trash airlock handle?" And I'll show you
about that in a minute. "Pressed? Yes, it is.
Film camera stowed? Yes."

254 02 04 53 CDR Okay, there's the old hunk. I sleep upside down
because I like the draft to come past my head
instead of up my nose, and everything's the same -
Just leave that out. Got an extra pair of pants
back there. Nothing to show there. It's nice
and quite in there and dark, if you close the
doors. Here's Jack. He's drying his mouthpiece.
• He's washing it out with water here and drying them
and he's got a tape cleaning swab there that you're
fax_liar with, like I mentioned, so he can clean
his tapes. There's Owen. Nothing new in there
that I can think of besides that checklist.

254 02 06 32 CDR See if I can zoom in on that a little bit. Okay,

I think we Just did. See how the focus is. That
may be good enough. I think you can get the point
either way. Okay, so here we are over the trash
airlock. Now what we normally do is when we have
trash, we either leave it hanging in place right
there or we'll kind of put it down in here. And
we've relegated one guy to be the trash airlock
I
man and it's me. And the reason being, like I say,
because there's a lot of feel to this thing.
 2274

254 02 07 09 CDR Okay, you'll notice that I have a long strap here
around that handle. The reason I do is because
if this handle gets up like this in the middle of
the night, you're dumping the cabin atmosphere.
We did that one night. Somebody got up in the
night. As he came by, his toe hit this, move -
moved it from here up to here. You can see how
much it dumped now Just by lifting. So you should
have - have them make you a nice spring - spring
one. Okay, that's down, but let's - let's say
we're getting ready to do the Job.

254 02 07 41 CDR Okay, first of all - I'm not going to open and
close the lid. This is the thing that bends.
And you see that it maybe - maybe you can see it's
slightly bent. And the reason it did bend is be-
cause as - Let - let me go ahead and show you.
Oh, you open this up, put this in. Now when you
get ready to close this, you can see that this
little lid doesn't close so great. Now what I was
doing which I - was reasonable, I thought, was I
would get up here like this, and I would push
down and when it was at the bottom, pull up. And
when I did, this would snap over. Okay?

254 02 08 17 CDR It turns out that doesn't work too grand. Some-
times it doesn't get all the way on there. I
don't think, by the way, I don't think that was
the thing that bent it, because that's putting this
member in tension. But essentailly - see, Just
like that. Seemed okay - seemed - That was a good
one; that was okay. So let me go show you. But
sometimes it wouldn't come all the way there. So
then, whenever you took and moved this down, I
believe that you press - I was pressing up on this
and bending it. But I think you ought to try to
get a new one of those and put this in. I think
that ought to be fixed. Okay, but anyhow, you
put this handle here, and you know that. It's
vented, okay. And whenever you get finished vent-
ing, you want to open. Now there's parts of this
thing where it Jams, like right there. And you
say to yourself, "Is this thing Ja_ing, or is that
the way it feels?"

254 02 09 I0 CDR After you fool with it for a while, you know when -_
you've got something in there and when - when it's
 2275

Jammed. And if it's not, you can open it, you

see. Okay. That's nice and neat. Now when you're
finished, you want to bring it back here. Also,
it has kind of a old hardover center place there.
You'll have to get used to it so you won't Jam
something in there. I've got where I can feel it.
I can tell when that outlet's going closed and then
I'll give it Just a little extra pull and that's
what it takes. But unless you fool with it all
the time, you're going to stand around thinking
you're Jamming it and everything else. You might
be. You might give it a pull when it is Jammed.
But, that's why I think maybe you ought to pick one
guy but anyhow -

254 02 09 58 CDR I think we showed you almost all that there is.
Let me show you something that's happening to the
shoes. This is the J. Lousma shoes that are sitting
here on the floor; he leaves them there sometimes
at night. See if I can get in them. Okay. Notice
his shoes. Let's see if we can get a good shot of
them. You'll notice the little white dot there on
the heels. They're sort of wearing out. About
1 inch up on the heel where that little plastic
is_ And in addition to that, let me show you the
sides of the shoes. They're wearing out - They're
wearing out right here. See that hole. We're
Just hoping it makes it. And we've reco_ended
that you bring two pairs of shoes. We think ours
will last. We got a couple of weeks, 5 days,
something like that.

25_ 02 l0 52 CDR Here's the bad tape recorder right here, laying
down there. It's got a little red piece of tape
on it as you can see. It's got the procedures that
we used to take it apart, in case you've got any
questions. And it tells you where the nuts and
screws are. By the wa_, let me show you where all
those screws are. I don't think you'll have any
trouble remembering. Up 620, up here on the top
next to the shower. Go ahead and read it. Okay,
right here, right inside that top right one is
what's known as a - is multiple nuts, bolts, and screws.
Some are loose, that we found loose. Ones that we
took out of the group we put on tape and stuck in
here. Incidentally, the best tape to do that is
that 2-inch wide, called neutral tape, down in the
bottom locker - down in the tool kit n11mber 2, I
believe it is.
 2276

254 02 ll 51 CDR Okay, I'd say that that about does it. I think
we've showed you what we're doing. Showed it like
it is. And we'll be home to brief you and answer
questions. I expect in the briefing we'll probably
repeat some of this. Bear with us or tell us we
said it and we'll quit saying it. By the way, we
don't keep our toothbrushes down in there. We keep
them in our dopp kits or somewhere. Okay? See
you all later. See you all in 2 or 3 weeks. CDR;
bye-bye. Hey, Jack, turn off the VTR, would you?

254 02 12 31 CDR Turn off the VTR.

TIME SKIP

254 02 49 46 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A, de-

briefing the last ATM run of the day, which began
at - Let's see here - 01:47. Got the Nu z update
for the troops and ran off the J0P 6. Made a
mistake in there and gave 82B a 10-second and a
40-second SHORT in the 1 Bravo part. Sorry about
that, but I Just goofed up. And I went on down
and did the JOP 2 Delta. Ran a few extra lines of
JOP 2 Delta there with 82B exposures, and I guess
that's what got me to thinking about putting them
in 1 Bravo. And I got ahead of myself there. But
I did give you a 10-second and 40-second one here
in JOP 2 Delta on active region 19. Had a good
full slit on that one, because there's lots of
nice plage in there.

254 02 50 43 PLT And almost the same ... on active region 24. Got
a good - got a good shot at 24 with the slit, too.
Besides that, I went over and looked at the emerging
flux region that Owen reported this afternoon on
the east limb, and I found it in the maximized
detector. Got a good bright spot and gave you a
little bit of MIRROR, LINE SCAN on the last GRATING
setting we were in, which was 2926, and then I ran
you a - That was MIRROR, LINE SCAN on 2926 and I
ran you a GRATING, AUTO SCAN with DETECTORS 1 and
2 ... up to 2h36 and gave you a MIRROR, LINE SCAN
on that - ... through actually sunset. And we got
it powered down now and ready for your operation.
 2277

And I didn't look at the corona today. And a lit-

tle while ago, I made my sketch of it and got Just
about the s_ three streamers on the east limb
that we had yesterday.

254 02 52 04 PLT 0_r on the west limb, things look a little bit
different. And I reported earlier that it looked
like there were a couple of streamers that were
leaning over toward each other and wondered if
there was any connection between them or anything
special going on there. I never did get a report
back; so I assume that - that there was nothing
unusual and that it was probably a couple of the
Ellerman streamers that Just kind of pointed in
that direction. But it looks like the normal ac-
tivity's a little - a little bit heavier over there
on the west limb today than it was yesterday. That
concludes the debriefing for today, and we'll be
back with you in the morning.

- 254 02 52 50 PLT And thanks a lot.

TIME SKIP

254 12 00 2_ SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A debriefing the

run Just now ending at 12:00 Zulu. The scheduled
event, JOP 1 A and B went off as scheduled. After
that I - after that was complete, I went on down
to - active region 19 - 19, and did a modified
item 3. Modified in that, on 8056 I took some
SINGT_ FRAMES instead of the ACTIVE l, LONG. On
82B, I didn't do the AUTO; I did Just one SINGLE,
SHORT exposure. And then I wemt up to that new
active region 25, which is over towards the east
limb and did, essentially, an item 8. 56 was
about as scheduled; 82B was a SINGLE FRAME 240;
and 55, I did the gas plus the partial mini-RASTER.
So item 8 was Just about accomplished as on the
s1_mmary sheet. And then I stayed on that bright
spot and remained in MIRROR LINE SCAN for some
JOP 7 information at the end.

it in the co_nand module somewhere. Put it in the
front room and play with it when he's an old man!
See any contamination in there?

PLT No.

CDR Well, it wouldn't be on that. It couldn't - -

PLT Oooh!

SPT ... TV ...

CDR Good place to be.

PLT ... focus.

25_ 12 59 22 CDR No focus, hardly. You have to go full minus, I

think, Jack.

PLT Huh?

254 12 59 26 CDR I_ELI minus is the best you can get. That's what
I mean. Full minus is as close to focus as you can
get.

PLT ....

CDR It's less focus in other places.

_- CDR If that's any encouragementto you, which I doubt

that it is.
2282

PLT ...

PLT That's what I think.

245 13 00 02 CDR I hope not. Maybe it's in different set of optics.

PLT ...

CDR But, somehow there's a couple of things to get to

your line of sight and it may - Oh, no. You're
right.

PLT ...

we're not in any big hurry.

PLT ..,

254 13 00 47 CDR I'm going to go to STANDBY, warm up the thing.

1 minute and I go to STANDBY. Wonder what O.'s
doing with his equipment down there? Anything of
interest?

PLT ...

CDR Well, he seems to be doing something down there,

I'm not sure what. Got somethinggoing.

SPT All set down here, fellows.

CDR Incredible. He condescended to comm up on the

right channel. And a first, a first.
.f

2283

SPT I usually only bother to t-lk to the ground.

CDR I've noticed that. Tells us something, I guess.

254 13 01 44 CDR The big snot, the ETC operator. He's known as our
o_l personal weatherman.

PLT ... for you - he's doing it.

CDR Yes, not for you though. You don't forget things
like that.

254 13 02 03 CDR A is ON and S is STANDBY. If you tell me, I'll put

VTR on my pad, see; and I won't miss it, because
I look at the pad all the time. That's what I did
last time I ran it for you. I Just had you do it.

PLT ...

CDR Tell me when, I'll Just put VTR ON and OFF.

PLT ...

CDR You know it. It's one of a million. You haven't

got time to listen to them all though. Tell me
what time you -

CDR 8 :minutes? Eight zero - tell me whatever time.

PLT ...

254 13 02 50 CDR Okay, so at 10:30, you want it on. What time off?

PLT ...

CDR Easy enough.

PLT ...

CDR I think I can read that. You don't want me to do

at 8 now; so I'ii scratch that out.

PLT ...

CDR I got it for him.

PLT ... early if I keep on EREPing.

 2284

CDR I'ii be ready. You can count on me to turn on the

VTR. One thing I'm good at, it's turning on the
VTR. I haven't missed it yet.

PLT ... turn it on.

254 13 03 44 SPT Said to remind you to put it in TV on the selector

switch.

CDR Why would you want to that?

SPT Well, that seems to be something that we all have

forgotten from time to time.

CDR Look, don't speak for others.

PLT What is it you've forgotten, 0.?

CDR Owen's feeling guilty because he had to do things

over three or four times there.

PLT Well, don't forget to open the door, whatever you

do, O.

254 13 04 04 SPT Door's open. And don't you recall about a week
later when A1 recorded a whole TV program on M0N l?

CDR You record that?

PLT For practice? (Laughter) Practice, I guess.

SPT ...

CDR I don't recall it. I can't recall it, frankly.

Trying to.

PLT I think it was a dastardly plot by the ATM people

to get more time.

254 13 04 23 SPT I've got it alS in my log book, AI, if you're of

a mind to forget any of those kind of items. I'm
sure I've got them all logged.

CDR Okay.

PLT (Laughter)
f

2285

CDR I'll - from time to time check with you when I'm
feeling a little cocky.

PLT Along with being hard of hearing and having bad

eyes, huh?
CDR (Laughter)

PLT It all goes in the same file.

254 13 04 42 CDE It all goes in the medical file, as the doctor of

the crew.

254 13 0h 57 CDR 05:5h coming up. I've always liked that time.
Usually slept right through it.

254 13 05 33 CC Skylab, Houston. We're A0S canary and Madrid.

Standing by for 15 - 14 minutes.

254 13 05 38 CDE Okay, Dick. Everything is going smoothly. We're

PLT Morning, Dick.

CC Good morning.

PLT Good morning to the boss there, too.

254 13 05 58 CDR R is OFF and EREP is START, Just per plan. 193 A

Spain and France and central Europe today? Do
you know, Dick?

254 13 06 42 CC Stand by i. We were Just looking on the map. I'll

get right back to you.

PLT Yes, sir. Thank you.

CC Jack, the prediction is 0.4 to 0.7 cloud cover. We

think it's probably significantly closer to 0.4.
Looking good.
 2286

25h 13 07 07 PLT Very good, thank you.

CDR Outstanding. 07:15 is MODE, SINGLE again. Okay.

25h 13 07 15 CDR SINGLE.

CC And, Skylab, as a reminder, you can load the new

tau anytime you want to now - for the next
maneuver, if you'd llke.

CDR Good idea.

PLT I'll do that right now. Thank you for reminding

me, Dick.

25h 13 07 53 PLT It's in there. How you like it?

CC Looks good to us, Jack.

PLT Thank you. Save a few mibs. It's a mib saver.

25h 13 08 15 PLT Now, I think the kid will turn the TV on over here
and then I'll give you a holler when I need the VTR.

CDR I'll give the VTR at your request. 08:35 - -

PLT ... POWER is on. The switch is in TV.

CDR MODE to SINGLE.

PLT Don't touch that switch there, 0.

25h 13 08 32 PLT Okay, we got some TV on the monitor.

CDR Okay, there's a single on 190. READY on,

191 at 09:09. Let's watch.

PLT Few spots in that optical train. Besides they're

not in the big lens for the camera because they
don't show up when you take the camera off.

25h 13 09 i0 CDR Okay, IR, ON, going to 6. 09:22 we go A to STAND-

BY and RANGE, 63.

25h 13 09 22 CDR MARK. 63 done. 37 and A, ON.

say, I'm going to give it to you.

PLT Very well.

CDR 10:45. 10:h5, another MODE, SINGLE.

CDR 10:30, you want the VTR on. According to your

suggestion, that's when I'm going to put it on.

PLT I wish you'd do that.

CDR Okay. At 22.

PLT Okay, a couple of rousing nadir swaths.

254 13 l0 B1 CDR Okay, VTR is ON right now.

- PLT Okay, thank you. And we're starting a nadir

swath here.

CDR At 45, MODE, SINGLE.

254 13 l0 56 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Skylab. And we're

giving you a little tour of Europe today. We're
taking some data on weather systems, formations of
cold fronts, and low-pressure systems for future
use in long-range weather forecasting, primarily.
And then we're going to take some data over the
Swiss Alps. We're going to hit the European coast
at Lisbon. We'll then be trailing up over Spain,
crossing the Pyrenees Just a few miles from the Bay
of Biscay; over Lyon, France; Geneva, Switzerland;
Zurich; Just south of Munich; Vienna; end then we'll
be turning our instruments off as we continue on.
The - the data we're taking today is divided up
into spectral frequencies end analyzed. We have
the capability with our telescope to zoom in and
zoom out. We can track an object less than a
quarter of a mile square. We can track a farmer's
fields; we can track a city block; we can track
lakes. We have very good resolution with this
telescope. At the moment, it's at - its minimum
zoom position;that is, as far away as possible.
You see a reticle on your scope, on your picture.
 2288

The center of that reticle or the open space in the

reticle represents one quarter of a mile.

254 13 12 55 CDR A, RANGE 65.

254 1B 1B 06 PLT I see we're now coming up on the coastline. I see

the coast at Lisbon; see Lisbon down there. Zoom
in on it for you a little bit. There's Lisbon.
You can see the airfield. Now, we'll zoom back up.
Crossing the line of Spain. Say buenos dias to all
our am_gos in Spain. Now you can see rivers and
lakes down there. You can aetually see various
fields, spots of ground that are farmed. You can see
wooded areas. And a little lake coming up. We'll
Just kind of zoom in on this a little better. And
we have the capability of stopping our machine,
taking a look at that lake if we want to, or tracking
it as I'm doing now. We're moving across the ground
at _ miles a second, but still I'm tracking that
lake with no difficulty. I hold my crosshairs right
on that lake without any trouble. Now we'll pick --
it up again. Back to business here. Zoom back and
forward - we can look _5 to 50 degrees ahead of our
track over the ground. Now we're - about to cross
the Pyrenees.

254 1B 14 50 PLT Looking down at the ground below you can see what
it looks like to travel across the Earth at 4 miles
a second.

254 1B 15 14 PLT See the major geological features there. Many

linear features of mountain regions across the -
across the Pyrenees, from Spain into France.

25_ 1B 15 41 PLT We're taking data on all that territory down there.
There's an interesting little lake with s_nething in
it. Let's take a look at that. Zoom in on it.
That lake's got some sort of breakwaters in it or
bridges in it that show up very clearly in our
reticle. You can see the farmers' fields over
here, all the plots of ground. There's one right
there, a quarter of a mile square. We can keep
our instruments right on it. Okay, let's get back
to business here.

254 1B 16 20 PLT Move ahead a little bit. Well, we'll zoom way out
ahead and see what's coming up ahead of us. Well,
we're going to get a little bit of weather it looks
 2289

like. Now we're looking w_y ahead of it, 53 degrees

ahead of our position over the ground. And then
we'll swing back to take data straight down, which
is what we want to do momentarily.

254 13 16 55 PLT And now we're looking directly below us. Crossing
into the Alps.

254 13 17 30 PLT And we're taking a look at Switzerland now, very

mountainous terrain. You can see the clouds above
the Alps down there. You can see rivers cutting
their way thr@Igh the mountains. The data that we
take with this instrument is used in the Earth
Resources study, where we look at agriculture or
forestry, water resources, pollution, geology,
mineralogy.

254 13 18 02 CDR I'm turning the VTR off unless you want it on.

PLT Just let it go.

CDR Okay, let it run, or what?

PLT Let it run for a little while yet.

CDR All right, will do.

25_ 13 18 12 CC Skylab, Houston; we're about a minute and 20 seconds

from LOS, Madrid, but I'll pick you up over
Honeysuckle at 13:53. You'll be looking at the
Moon then. We're looking forward to getting the
TV from this pass. One final r_m_nder for Jack,
be sure to swap out the DAC for the TV for the
lunar cal. See you at Honeysuckle.

25_ 13 18 29 PLT Okay, I'll do that, Dick. Th_nk you and I was
saying, what - what we do with this data is to
use it for the more efficient man - management and
utilization of our Earth's resources. This data
combined with that from unmanned satellites in the
future permit us to do that to a greater and greater
extent.

254 13 18 49 PLT So we're going to sign off now and turn off our
inst_1_nts.

I got a seven-point sequence - not a seven-point,
a modified seven points coming up at 53:30.

254 13 52 22 CDR Did we get an AUTO cal? I punched on this son

of a gun. Ms,be we didn't get an AUTO cal.

PLT I think you did. I think it's there.

it should be on. Let's see -9, 9. 53, they want
S, ON and R, OFF.

254 13 53 00 CDR S, ON; R, OFF.

254 13 53 29 PLT Okay, I'm going to initiate our VTS work now,
53:30 with the DAC is - coming on. And we're going
to go 5 above the limb. We're reading a minus
1 right now, so we'll go to 4 UP.

254 13 53 50 CC Skylab, Houston. We're standing by at Honeysuckle

_ for 7 minutes. We're dumping the data tape recorder
here at Honeysuckle. I'm standing by.

CDR/PLT Okay.

254 13 53 59 PLT And the way I understand this seven-point sequence

which I'm starting right now is that you - you waut
the modified as on the pad as opposed to the
standard in the book. You don't want the standard
in the book at all or do you want that in addition?

254 13 54 12 PLT Okay, here's a -

254 13 54 13 PLT MARK. We're 5 angles above - 5 degrees above the

limb.

CC PLT, Houston; use the pad we sent up to you.

PLT Okay. That's instead of, as opposed to in addition

to.

CC Roger. That - that replaces what's in the book.

Use the pad only.

PLT Okay, we got here 0.5 degrees above the limb.

Now we're 2-1/2 feet on the limb. Go ahead.
Okay.
 2296

254 13 54 54 PLT Now we're going to slew up upward and take a line
on it. And one there.

25h 13 55 03 PLT Okay, data-

254 14 02 38 CDR Okay, let's give them a reading on B-7. B-7 is a

mere 31 percent; same as it's been. We're now
closing the door.

254 14 02 53 PLT Okay, I got m_ eye on the switch.

254 lh 02 54 CDR Okay.

254 14 02 55 PLT Know right where it is.

254 14 02 58 PLT Here we go.

254 14 03 00 PLT MARK. SOLAR INERTIAL.

254 14 03 02 PLT No mibs.

254 14 03 03 CDR No mibs. Mibless.

CREW ...

25h 14 03 2h SC Okay.

CREW ...

254 lh 06 21 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A with information

for the EREP officers on the ETC cal operation.
I only gave you six frames instead of nine. And
• they came at the following times. There's a little
deviation from the pad numbers, which I will explain
in Just a minute. The 100 - I presume it's
milliseconds, or 1/100, I'm not sure which; 1/100
perhaps on the shutter speed. Exposure started
at 57:30 as requested. I did not get the next
two on time. My second one at 1/100 came at
57 plus 55 seconds. Then I noted I had to go to
STANDBY before I could change my shutter speed
and I didn't have time to get reset at lh0 in
time to catch the next sequence. So my shutter
speed of 1 - 140 or 140 milliseconds, whichever
it is, was taken at 58 plus 15, one exposure.
Then switched to shutter speed of 200. I had to
go to STANDBY first, which is not on the pad, then
back out. And I forgot to come back out of STANDBY
 2297

and I noticed it on the frames remaining counter.

And so I finally got those three frames off at
13 - at lh:00, on the hour - and 14:00 plus 5 seconds,
14:00 plus l0 seconds.

254 14 07 55 SPT So the last three came off on the hour plus 5 seconds,
then plus l0 seconds at a shutter speed of 200.
So they were a little late from the pad value by
a matter of a few seconds. And I think that the
times that I gave you are pretty accurate. Of
course, we are also in ATT HOLD MODE, so it
really shouldn't make any difference as near as
I can tell on the exact timing. There are nine -
six frames instead of the nine that were on the
pad. And basically, the delay is because of the -
the fact that I hadn't looked through this pad
sufficiently carefully to see how close these
exposures were.

254 14 08 34 SPT I was expecting a more normal ETC pad and I didn't
recover quickly enough. Also the STANDBY and
i _ return to operateis not on the pad, and I
fortunately caught that before switching shutter
speed. I don't think it's necessary to include
that, but it wouldn't have hurt to reminded - remind
the operator in the remarks that he needs to do
that so he'll not make any mlstakes. So that's
the reason that the exposures are not quite on the
pad time.

254 14 09 01 SPT End of comments to the ETC cal pad. And they go
to the EREP officers from the SPT.

254 14 19 03 CDR This is the CDR. I've Just completed the bat
check of number 6. May I read you the information?
By the way, this goes to the M509 interested
individuals, headed up by that illustrious
Lou Ramon. And I'll Just send it to him. BAT 6,
day 254, time: 14:15. Here's the bat voltages
as I read them. Cell volt is 1.314, 1.316, 1.311 -
correction - Let me start again. 1.314, 1.316,
1.313, 1.314, 1.314, 1.314, 1.314, 1.313, 1.314,
1.3.3, 1.314, 1.313, 1.313, 1.314, 1.318, 1.313,
1.314, 1.316, 1.314, 1.314, 1.314, 1.313, 1.314.
Total volts is 30.2. Now it was bat 15 of
cell 15, it had the 1.318, and cell 18 that had
the 1.316. All the rest are either 3's or 4's.
Lookslikea goodone, Lou.

TIME SKIP

254 15 09 40 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A.

The subject this morning is the T002-2. We're
going to do some star-to-Moon sightings. Fomalhaut
to the limb of the Moon. That'll be the near
]_mb to Fomalhaut And before we do that, we
ought to make ... zero bias sightings and record
that the temperature of the sextant is 70 degrees.
And the diopters are a minus 1.25. We'll set
this somewhere near zero. This information
goes to Bob Randle of Ames Research Center and
Robert Nute over in building 4, who will know where
it goes from there.

254 15 l0 25 PLT T002-2. Okay, I got Fomalhaut in the - in the

sight here.

254 15 ll ll PLT Okay, we're getting ready to do zero bias number l,

254 15 ll 23 SPT Jack, are you going to have any 10-minute breaks
in there where I can do a little debriefing?

254 15 ll 29 PLT Yeah, in about 3 minutes I will, O.

254 15 ll 32 SPT Okay, I'll come back up.

254 15 ii 46 PLT Okay, zero bias number 1 is 0.004.

PLT Zero bias number 2 is 0.006.

PLT Zero bias number 3 is 0.003.

PLT Zero bias number 4 is 0.003.

PLT And zero bias number 5 is coming up; and that is

0.003.

254 15 13 45 PLT Okay, O. Go ahead and use it for a little while.

SPT ...

254 15 13 57 PLT Yea.h, about two ...

/
2299

254 15 14 23 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A, with information

to the ATM PIs and planners, debriefing the last
ATM pass. We took that data in about 15:05 Zulu.
To begin with, we did get on the panel Just about
the time scheduled on the pad after that EREP op.
I did the 12 Delta. And then in the observing
period, first of all, I went to active region -
Let's see, which one was it. It must be 19.
And collected data on approximately item number 8,
using S056, 55 and one exposure on 82 Bravo.
And, then I did go to Sun center for item 17.
I did one trip around the FAST SCAN for S052.
We saw nothing unus_] in the corona visually.
I then went on over to active region 25 and
did item 8 over there with the GRATING, AUTO SCAN;
couple of MIRROR, LINE SCANs and S056 information.
And then at the end of the orbit, put on some
building block 7 at GRATING 620, which happened
as it did yesterday, for JOP 7 info. And that
completed the last orbit of ATM ops for the ATM
PIs and planners from the SPT.

_-- 254 15 15 38 SPT Out.

25h 15 15 41 SPT It's all yours, Jack.

254 15 15 43 PLT Thank you, O. Okay, we're trying to find Fomalhaut

here. We've got the Moon. That's not too tough.
And there 's Fomalhaut there.

254 15 16 00 PLT Okay_ now let's run Fomalhaut up to the Moon.

PLT I've got filter 1 in on the - on optical path.

If that ain't enough filter like we did before,
we'll have to put some more in. So we got both
filters in the optical path to the Moon. That's
better.

PLT Well, I'm trying a 1.0 filter and that's Just

not enough. Let me try the 1.6 by itself. Makes
the Moon too bright with respect to the stars.
Now the 1.6 by itself would be tolerable. Let's
see if I like it better with them both in. If the
Moon's too bright, it washes out the star. I'll
try it this time with the 1.6 filter in only. 1.0
is not enough. Okay, so we got the 1.6 filter in.
We got Fomalhaut near the limb and now we're going
to takesomemarks.
 2300

254 15 18 17 PLT MARK. Mark number one is 25.302. Okay, we'll

254 16 40 09 CDR SO19 ... Right?

254 16 40 14 CDR Hello, SO19. SO19 interested individuals of which

Karl Henize is one of the most interested. Wally
Teague is also interested. We are ready to perform
the SO19 again. It's good to be back in the business.
 2302

I've got cassette 05 on here, per your request. The

Nu Z that you sent up here was plus 0.8. We actually
have a minus 1.1, so I added 1.9 to all the little
numbers here, thus 37.5 becomes 39.4. So right now
we have 39.4, 23.7. We're going to be ... - be
shooting frame ... 7, if you want to believe it.
The hatch is open. I'm standing by for time 16:42.
I now have on my watch - on my mark -

254 16 41 i0 CDR MARK; 16:41. So we're in good - good shape. It's

going to be field number 113, a 270 exposure. The
prism is in. Windows are closed. Comm is working.

SPT Time for me to work in about a 60-second commercial?

CDR I'd say that you could work in a 60-second commercial

in approximately 25 seconds, mainly because I've
marked at 25 seconds.

SPT 0keydoke.

CDR You can even work in a longer than 60. I don't have
to say anything more until 270 seconds have elapsed.

SPT For the same price.

CDR That's right. I'm now winding, getting ready,

fixing my clock. Okay, stand by for the mark when
I open the shutter. Didn't feel like it picked up
anything, but maybe this is just operating smoothly.
Standby.

25_ 16 42 16 CDR MARK. Okay, we've opened the shutter on 097. I

might add right now that that felt awful smooth
compared to the one we've been using, 003. So I
don't know whether there's something different about
what's going on inside it or just the friction.
Okay, we're on a 270-second exposure, field ll3,
frame 097. I'll be off the comm for a while while
Dr. Garriott talks about ATM.

25_ 16 42 49 SPT Okay, here is the SPT on channel A with a brief

message for the ATM PIs and planners. At the
beginning of this orbit - the orbit just ended
here at 16:40 Zulu - at the beginning of the orbit
I did a JOP 7 at sunrise, so I haven't been getting
in too many of those and ... ought to take a look
and make sure that they tag the ones when we do
 2303

get them at sunrise. I guess 55 was rnnning. Then

went through the maxi-RASTER for 55, and it ought
to be a pretty good one. It really blocked out
and covered the interesting regions on the west
limb of the Sun and should be a pretty interesting
set. And went through the Sun-centered building
block at the end of the orbit and after that I
didn't have very much t_me left. Took a look at
the east limb. Couldn't see very much and I did
run the grating back around to zero while sitting
on the one bright spot in new active region 25,
then got the tail end of a JOP 7 on the end of
this orbit. I Just got there with about 1 minute
time remaining, but as near as I can tell from
DETECTOR 3, it was before there had been any sig-
nificant attenuation of the DETECTOR B radiation.
Still I think you can pull a distinctive curve
out of that data right at the end of the orbit as
well.

• 254 16 44 13 SPT And that's the end of the message for PIs planners
z--_ from the ATM from the SPT. Are you still on the
channel, Al?

CDR ...

is.

254 16 46 52 CDR MARK. Okay, we've got another one in there. We're
on a 270, field ll5 and it's frame 98. Jack, do
you remember this being a lot easier? Where did

he go? Okay, we'll check with Jack about the frictio_

on these - in this particular cartridge.

254 16 50 21 CDR Okay, stand by, SO19. I'm going to give you a
mark as I CLOSE this SHUTTER. Sure operating
smoothly. I talked with Jack and he can't remember
how it operated before. Neither can I. But I
sure hope it's working correctly.

254 16 50 34 CDR MARK. That's it, 270, going to the next. This
is going to be a 270, unwidened, so I'ii have to
get my wristwatch out. Let's go for 39.3. 38,

but it's awful freewheeling. Okay, stand by.

254 16 51 22 CDR MARK. It's frame 99, field 101, 270, unwidened.
I'll give you a call when I'm ready to turn it

254 17 00 01 CDR Okay, we're back in S019. We're approaching the

270-second mark as indicated by the widening knob

254 17 00 21 CDR MARK. 565 terminated. Go to the next one, which

will be 238.4. 238.4, 29.2. This is going to be

 2305

254 17 04 38 CDR MARK. That's the end of that one. Let's go for
a 270 ... on the next one, which is 43. 25.8.
25.8. Okay, gentlemen, this is going to be at
270 also. I'm wlndlng it up. Right now I'm now
picking up a new frame and SLIDE RETRACTED. Hope
it's in there. Stand by.

254 17 05 16 CDR MARK. It's open. That's field 169, gentlemen,

frame number 102, as you know.

254 17 08 42 CDR Okay, SO19 again. Stand by. We're getting ready
to make another m_rk which will CLOSE the SHUTTERS
on this 270, and then we're going to go for a fast

going good.
I--

254 17 l0 07 CDR Okay. In a moment we're going to have to CLOSE

long, as you know, and then we're going to go to
the next one. Okay, stand by.

254 17 lO 30 CDR MARK. That's the end of that one. Okay, let's
go to the next one. 51.0 is what I need to put

Okay. That's it. Let's wind her up again for
a 270. This is the last exposure, gentlemen.
I'm going to pick up a new frame and I'm standing
by to open.

254 17 ll 02 CDR MARK. SHUTTER is OPEN on the last one. Field

ll9, frame 104. When that occurs, we are going
to can the whole operation for a little while;
I'll be back again. We still got 5 minutes before
sunrise. This is a 4-1/2 minute exposure so, as
you can see, we've got it made. I'll go off the
comm for a little while.

254 17 14 32 CDR Okay, here we go. We're getting ready to CLOSE

down the SHUTTER on this last exposure, SO19.
Stand by.
2306

254 17 14 47 CDR MARK. That's complete. CLOSE the FILM HATCH.

It's CLOSED. Reel these things to zero. By the
way, all this information goes to Karl Henize

just go off the comm now.

254 17 15 02 CDR CDR out.

TIME SKIP

254 18 28 48 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject is T002-1, star-to-star. The temperature
of the sextant is 74 degrees. Diopter is 1 -
minus 1.25. This information goes to Bob Randle
of Ames Research Center and Robert Nute over in
building 4. The stars we've chosen this evening
are Foma]haut and Peacock. Stand by. I'm going
to give you a 15 mark.

254 18 29 37 PLT Okay, we got the stars identified. These ought

to be the ss_e angles as they have been for the
last couple weeks. Let me get a firmer setting
here. Like the Hasselblad off, so I can con-
centrate there on it.

254 18 31 02 PLT MARK. 37.9 - correction_ 37.899. Now these don't

really require marks because they're not time
critical but it's quicker than writing them down
so that's the way they're going to be got. See
if I can find them again.

254 18 32 07 PLT There's another one. 37.9 - correction, 37.899.

Have to reel back on the crank and then go at it
again.

254 18 33 15 PLT MARK. 37.904. Every time your heart beats, it

throws you off. Have to get good and solid in
here somehow.

254 18 34 15 PLT Okay. 37.905. N_n-hnm_.

254 18 36 13 PLT 37.901.

254 18 37 07 PLT 37.899. Hard to focus your eye. Look through

the sextant to focus it on the counter. Tried
 2307

to do it with my other eye but it turns out both

eyes focus together, so it doesn't work. Although
it does help to keep your sighting eye closed
while you're reading the counter. - If there's
any extraneous light, it keeps your dark adaptation.
Or if you have to read it with a flashlight.
37.905.

254 18 39 53 PLT 37.901. I can see the stars out there. Trying to
get them together here - It hasn't - They Jiggle
around because you Just can't hold comDlete_v
still. I can lean against the window with the
sextant to help stabilize it, but you can see the
stars - once you get them pretty closely aligned,
beating in the rhythm of your heart because it
moves every time your heart beats.

254 18 41 15 PLT 37.905.

254 18 46 57 PLT 37.906. I guess that's about enough. Okay, let's

get some zero bias settings now.

254 18 47 32 PLT Well, I'm done with T002. What?

254 18 47 56 PLT Okay, we'll probably use our old friend Fomalhaut
out there. He's ... up. That's why we like him.
I'm going to shoot five on him and that'll be
it. Had him there a minute ago. There he is.

254 18 48 41 PLT 0.001.

254 18 49 20 PLT 0.003. 0.003.

254 18 49 43 PLT And the final one is 0.001. Okay, that takes
care of TO02. The temperature in the sextant is
79 degrees, and that was a T002-1 using Fomalhaut
and Peacock. And the information goes to
Bob Randle and Bob Nute.

254 18 50 01 PLT Thank you very much.

TIME SKIP

254 19 58 44 CDR CDR, debriefing the ATM run that occurred at ap-
proximately at 8 - 18:50. We did three scanning
standards; the last one was not quite complete as
we went behind the Earth. Next we did a 15-minute
3, a 15-minute 4 with the filters and a 14-minute 5.
And the 14 minute was - had gone below effective
sunset by about a minute. Everything else was
just perfect.

254 19 59 18 CDR CDR out.

TIME SKIP

254 20 33 54 CDR Okay, this is the CDR with some information for
EREP. I've had the warmups on for 20 minutes and
we've reached the time T-2. So I'm going to go
to MODE, CHECK. And when I do, l'm then going to
read you D-6. Okay, D-6 at the moment is
56 percent, 56 percent.

254 20 34 15 CDR CDR out. That goes to EREP.

254 20 46 57 CDR Okay, this is the CDR and I think I'ii just read
you the information contained on these dials: A,
B, C, and D. 2, 60 percent, GO; 3, 86 percent,
GO; 4, 71 percent, GO; 5, 66 percent, GO; 6, zero,
GO. Just i second.

254 20 47 34 CC Skylab, Houston. We're A0S Hawaii for about

7-1/2 minutes. Standing by. One thing we'd like
to do while - if you haven't already done it - is _-_
 2309

to go ahead and secure that LSU deservicing until

after the EREP until we get ourselves pulled to-
• gether and can give you a straight answer on that
time.

254 20 47 54 CDR It's secured. We've emptied both CCUs. We've

done 7 minutes on both CCUs and apparently then the
umbilical is empty. Or it should be, according
to the procedures. And we're down to the stage to
where we would start taking off the cover.

254 20 48 l0 CC Okay, A1. We'll get back with you. Understand

the deserviclng is secured now that's incomplete
and in good shape. Okay.

254 20 48 16 CDR Correct, it is incomplete. Okay. But I'm still

wondering about it. Okay, back to 6. Now we Just
gave A-6. So let's go to B. B-2 is 56 percent
and that's GO. B-3 is 77 percent and that's GO.
B-4 is 71 percent and that's GO. B-5 is
74 percent and that's GO. B-6 is 51 percent and
GO; B-7, 31 percent and GO; B-8, 1 percent and GO;
"_ B-9, 58 percent and GO. So those are all good.
C-2 is 44 percent; GO. C-3 is 89 percent and that's
okay because we've got our little box, diagnostic
down-link unit box in. Okay. C-h is 71 percent;
that's GO. C-5 is 83 percent; that's good. C-6,
46 percent; that's GO. C-7 is 54 percent and that's
GO. Okeydoke, those are all good. D-2, 86 percent,
and that's GO because of the down-link box. D-3,
85 percent; that's GO for the down-link box. D-h,
72 percent ; that's GO anyway. D-5, 14 percent ;
"that's GO. D-6, 57 percent and that's GO. So
everything is GO because we got the down-link box
and that allows some of them to deviate. C-7, as
you noticed, is less than 80, so everything is
good there. 190 MODE, READY. 192 MODE, READY.
And door coming open.

254 20 50 19 CDR Okeydoke.

254 20 50 22 CC And, Skylab, Houston; while we got a minute break

here, we're looking at the momentum time - I mean
the maneuver time you got loaded. It looks good.

CDR Thank you.

254 20 51 i0 CDR Okay, there's the READY light on 192, for the MODE,

254 20 52 l0 CDR Twelve and a TR-1. Okay, if we can do that.

CDR Hey, Dick, tell me again the number of that - that

place to put the adapter out of the CSM that I
called about? The number - Let's see. M151?

CC That's right, A1. M151.

CDR Okay, I had it written down and forgot. I was

working on that other. Okay. Got it.

254 20 53 24 CDR What - what does EGIL think of the DELTA-P now in
his waste tank where the water went? Does it -
did it go down an amount that he feels is equiva-
lent to the amount of water it just needs to use
one hose? One hose going both directions? So it's
two hose lengths.

254 20 53 45 CC A1, we're going to have to get back to you on that.

We did see it drop and it recovered a little bit,
and we're talking about that. We'll probably -
after this EREP pass, we'll probably have ourselves
pulled together and we'll tell you where to go
from here. Over.

254 20 53 56 CDR Okay. No trouble. I think, and correct me if I'm

wrong - looks to me llke continuing on with the
procedure does not bother the hoses or anything
else. We just start taking the cover off and that's
pretty straightforward. Doesn't affect anything.

CC Roger. Understand.

CDR Okay.

254 20 54 23 CC Skylab, Houston, we're about h5 seconds from LOS.

Goldstone coming up at 20:57.

Th_ waste dump off New York, you know, and
Block Island and a couple of those others.

PLT Yes.

CDR Maybe they had the momentum where you couldn't run
it then. Momentum bad.

25h 20 56 2h CDR If they ran that one, they couldn't have run this

it.

254 21 09 h7 PLT Okay, Dick, I got Winnipeg with no problem. And

he picked a uniform site east of town. It was a
dark-colored sight. There were many brown ones
and many green ones, or dark ones. I figured
something was growing there so I homed in on it.
I don't know. I think maybe they're doing some
airflow studies, so I figured the wind was from
the west and we'd do better by getting a site
east of town. Then I tracked that down through
about minus 15 degrees, then I came back and put
it right over the city for a few seconds.

254 21 l0 16 CDR And let me give you a B-7 while we're here. B-7,

25h 22 52 01 CDR CDR debriefing the 22:03 ATM run; completely

nominal. I did - It's hard to find active region 9
over there. There's some little bright things on
the limb and I went over there and put the - I
stressed the line with that as best I could. But
I don't have a lot of confidence that it's going to
be representative of active region 9 although it
was the only bright thing over there.

25h 22 52 25 CDR It's funny, you can see it better in - in H-alpha 2

zoomed out than when you could when you zoomed
in and tried to get some sort of contrast up on
H-alpha 1. So I used that as a sort of a guide to
reposition some 80 arc seconds above. I think I
got the best that was there. That's what I'll
say. I gave you a partial - another MIRROR, AV90
RASTER at active region 19 until the time ran out
and then I had to go over and - quickly rescind
to get to page 20 and do the J0P there. So I
think everything turned out okay. Any questions?
If there are, give me a call.

 2318 DAY255(AM)

255 00 52 Oh SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A. I'm discussing

the initial conditions for the M092/171 run on
the commander. Al's left calf was 12-3/h inches
in circumference. His right calf was 13 - and
let me check again.

255 00 52 27 SPT That's right, 13-1/8 inches; 12-3/h, 13-1/8 on

the right; 12-3/h on the left, 13-1/8 on the right
and all of the cuffs and legbands are the stand-
ards that we've talked about all the way along,
as is the saddle position. SPT info on Al's M092
run.

255 00 52 48 SPT End of message.

255 01 02 55 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A, discussing

the M092 run on - the - on A1, the cnmm-uder.
We terminated his run 2 minutes early. Everything
was looking normal. Blood pressures were - both
systolic and diastolic - were holding Just about
normal all the way. Approximately 90 over 60 and
some indication of a slight reduction. Heart
rates did increase ; they had increased from a
resting level of about 70 up to approximately
100, but they did so gradually and had done so
on previous runs in about the same manner.

255 01 03 31 SPT At about 7 minutes on the clock, in other words,

2 minutes before the end of the run, the CDR
decided himself to terminate the run at that
point. He dropped the pressure inside the LBNP
and symptoms were pretty much as follows. He said
he Just didn't feel right, didn't feel good and -
his arms and chest were a little bit tingly and
he had sort of a warm sensation. And this was
adequate for him to decide to terminate the run
at 7 minutes. So looks like it nearly went the
full length and we're running the rest of the
25 minutes out on the clock right now and you can
see how the blood pressures and heart rates and
everything are behaving. As the observer, I did
not notice any indication of any incipient problems
from either blood pressures or heart rates. And
everything looked reasonably normal up to the
point that - A1 decided that the run had gone
along about far enough.

255 01 04 37 SPT I'll be back on the channel to provide any other

information.
 2319

255 O1 04 53 SPT Okay, that is relative to time of eating. We

delayed the - run as long as possible right to
the end of the window, so it would be Just about
exactly 1 hour. And he did have a full hour after
he had eaten. But that was all. We - let's see,
it's now 01:05, and we started the - dropping the
pressure at Just about 12:48, maybe a minute in-
side the window. And he had finished eating Just
about an hour previously at about 11:45 Zulu.

255 01 05 27 SPT So there was the full hour there but A1 suggests
that may have been at least partially responsible
for not feeling like taking the full 5 minutes at
50 millimeters.

TIME SKIP

255 01 25 h7 SPT Okay, on the MA cal. Here are the numbers for
the PERCENT N , 0 , C0_. Except that these are
the percent C_ 2
_ 2' water,and oxygen. PERCENTC02
is 1.97; PERCENT WATER is 2.88; the PERCENT OXYGEN
is 67.54.

255 01 31 l0 SPT Okay N2, H20. GAS PRESS is 1336. And now the
PERCENT 02 is 68.18; the PERCENT WATER is 2.41;

the PERCENT C02, 1.93.

255 01 h4 21 SPT Okay, here come some vital capacity measurements

for A1. 4.785 liters, 4.527 liters, 4.533 liters,
for A1.

255 01 44 37 SPT End of message to the biomeds. Out.

TIME SKIP

255 02 06 14 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. Stand

by l, please -

255 02 07 14 PLT Okay, here we are again, space fans, debriefing

the last ATM run, which began at 01:07. We got the
the JOP 6 - stand by 1 -
 2320

255 02 08 24 PLT Okay, here we are again, space fans. This is for
real; now we're going to debrief the 01:07 ATM run.
We got the JOP 6 run off okay. In looking at the
corona, I did my daily picture again, for what it's
worth - it's probably not worth much, but since I
did it, I'm going to report on it anyway. And it
looks like on the east limb things are fairly much
the same as they were yesterday, except for the
disappearance of one streamer at the northeast site
on the west limb. Still quite a bit of coronal
activity, although we have a couple of sharp streamers
showing up today which weren't there yesterday and
the filament structure in that area looks a little
bit different and - and changing fairly rapidly,
probably as a result of all the active regions just
going around the limb. So I didn't see any sign
of the transient that we had looked at earlier there,
and seems to be about the same amount of activity in
patterns and appearances; no changes.

•255 02 09 37 PLT Now, to get on with the rest of the debriefing on

the run. I gave you some TV down-links, and I did 4
the observing time - time there and did what you
suggested.

255 02 09 48 PLT I did the observing and the end of the observing
time, I had a little, - about 5 minutes extra and
"so I thought instead of shutting her down, I'd
look around a little. The disk itself isn't too
interesting now; however, I wanted to take a look
around the limb and when I did so, I found some
• sort of a ghost in H-alpha, on the east limb,
about a 100 to 120 sec - arc seconds off the
limb. Appeared to be about the size of a dime
or a nickle on my H-alpha scope. I gave you
some TV of it downstairs although my obser -
resolution wasn't good enough to see it. Was
confirmed by Maunaloa. I was able to get a
detector signature off it in GRATING, all zeroes.
DETECTOR 3 gave us 400 sometimes; it wasn't real
bright, but nevertheless it was there and not, in
H-alpha apparently, connected to the disk in any
_ray.

255 02 l0 46 PLT It appeared to be a stranger all by itself;

although it no doubt was connected; although the
frequencies weren't right for viewing in H-alpha. ..--..
So it was an interesting little phenomenon there
that we haven't discussed too much; although we
 2321

have been taking S052 pictures for the whole

, rim and so, no doubt, possibly will see some of
it out there and we've been getting some H-alpha
pictures all along too. So perhaps it will also
show up in there. Something to look forward to
in the data that you reduce. So we're going to
powerdown operation and we're going to sign off
for today, and we'll see you again in the
morning. Good night and we'll look forward to
working with you.

255 02 ll 34 PLT Thank you.

TIME SKIP

255 12 Ol 50 PLT Okay, space fans this is Jack on channel A. And

we're approaching EREP. This is EREP number 24
o..

255 12 l0 26 SPT 196 is the PRD for the SPT. SPT gets 196 today.

255 12 12 36 SPT Okay, the CDR's PRD reads 490, 490. And that
concludes the three PRD measurements for the
morning. And those all three go to the biomed
people interested in radiation.

255 12 15 28 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject is EREP number 24. We're l0 minutes away
from data take. Going to read you all the monitor
readings. We've already reported Delta 6 as
being 57. Here's Alfa 2, 60 percent; it's okay.
Alfa 3, 86 percent; okay. Alfa 4, 71 percent;
okay. Alfa 5, 65 percent ; okay. Alfa 6, zero
percent ; okay.

CDR We're on the way.

PLT We're on the way, he says, in Z-LV. Bravo 2 is

56 percent. That's okay. Bravo 3, 76 percent;
okay. Bravo 4, 70 percent ; okay. Bravo 5,
74 percent ; okay. Bravo 6, 51 percent ; okay.
Bravo 7, 31 percent; okay. Bravo 8, 1 percent;
okay. Bravo 9, 58 percent; okay. All right,
Charlie 2, 45 percent; okay. Charlie 3, 87 -
88 percent; okay. Charlie 4, 70 percent; okay.
F Charlie 5, 82 percent; okay. Charlie 6, 47 per-
cent ; okay. Charlie 7, 54 percent; okay.
2322

255 12 17 17 PLT Okay, and Delta 2 is 86 percent; okay. Delta 3,

is 85 percent; okay. Delta _ is 72 percent;
okay. Delta 5 is 14 percent; okay. Delta 6 is
47 - correction, 57 percent, okay.

255 12 17 47 PLT We'll wead - read you a few extra little readings
here. Bravo 7 reread is 31 percent. Bravo 8 is
1 percent. Charlie 7 is 54 percent, and that's
less than 80. Delta 6 is 57 percent; okay.

PLT Stand by for T minus 5.

255 12 18 26 PLT Ready verification is performed. Everything

is set up properly.

PLT It's the only way to run.

PLT Looks like you'd probably get Seville and Marseille

but it might be - have a hard time getting Milan

inthere, i
CDR Why is that?

PLT It's close, but doesn't have good checkpoints.

PLT Unless I give you the time. Well, that's an alter-

nate anyway, probably. It's one or the other.
Oh, that's Milan, huh. What's your alternate?

CDR ...

PLT Yes.

PLT Yes, that's why I wanted a - that's why I

wanted an alternate.

CDR ... scan.

255 12 19 24 PLT Yes, you get there quickly.

CDR ...

PLT Socking it to them! (Yawn)

CDR ...

255 12 19 57 PLT Yes, they want a uniform site outside of the

townthe way I readit. _-_
 2323

PLT That's what I - I usually do and figure what way

the wind is. Get it downwind and then usually
I'll come back and sock it on the city for a
few seconds.

CDR ... nice

PLT Yes.

CDR ... after that.

255 12 20 23 PLT Okay, here we go. S192 MODE to READY.

255 12 20 29 PLT DOOR, OPEN.

255 12 20 34 PLT While we were doing that the S190 HEATER SWITCH
light is off.

255 12 20 40 PLT PRESS TO TEST i17, and both of those lights are
working.

PLT It's the way we like it. We're gettinga short

F passheretoday.

PLT Everything was right on. Right on.

CDR ... turn it on and leave it onl

255 12 21 27 PLT MARK. 192 DOOR is OPEN.

CDR ... yesterday.

PLT Yes, that's right. That's the way to look at it.

255 12 21 40 CC Okay, reading you loud and clear, Skylab.

Canaries and Madrid for 14 minutes.

255 12 21 45 PLT Okay, we're going to do the preoperate configura-

tion. T minus 3 it is coming up. Here we are;
pre-op configuration.

255 12 21 54 PLT TAPE RECORDER: POWER, ON; READY light on.

255 12 21 57 PLT 192: POWER, ON. READY light is out. The MODE's
in CHECK; the DOOR is OPEN.

255 12 22 02 PLT 191: the POWER is ON; READY light is on. The
C00T.ER,
is ON, and the door is always open on 191.
 2324

255 12 22 ii PLT 190, the POWER is ON. READY light is out. We're
in STANDBY. And the door is open because the
light's coming through the window. I can hear the
camera shutters working.

255 12 22 23 PLT 193 RAD is OFF. The SCAT is OFF. ALTIMETER's

in STANDBY.

255 12 22 31 PLT 194 POWER is ON; the READY light is on. Might
make one comment on the checklist - on the warmup
section. Under 193, ours says, "193, RAD, POWER
to STANDBY." Which - I crossed out the word RAD
this morning because the pad said 193 A, and I
think 193 ought to say the pad, for which experi-
ment, and then POWER to STANDBY. But this morning,
it's the ALTIMETER as opposed to the RADIOMETER.
Okay. Where are we here?

PLT We're ready to go.

•255 12 23 12 PLT Standing by for 25. Now we got to stand with

our hands in our pockets for another minute and 45.

PLT See if you can find that barbershop down there

in Seville, O. - Big A1.

CDR At] right, I've got it pinpointed. I know just

which street to look on.

PLT Is that barber still in Seville, Story?

CDR Story wouldn't know.

255 12 23 37 CDR You could ask the Crip. (Laughter)

CC Thanks a lot. (Laughter)

255 12 23 _4 CDR Takes one to know one, they say.

CDR Okay, Seville. We're going to make it near

Seville. We'll come just to the right of Madrid,
Just to the left of Valencia. And Just to the
right - left of Barcelona. And then it'll be
Andorra, over the Pyrenees. Then to Marseille.
We'll stay there a little while, maybe a minute
or two and then try to make it to Milan. Be a
short trip. Little quicker than Hannibal did it,
but we ain't got any elephants with us either. _-_
 2325

So we're in good shape. We could put a couple

down in the workshop. Might be an interesting
experiment with the spider next time.

PLT If O. keeps eating all that chow, we're going to

have an elephant in the workshop.

255 12 24 30 CDR Okay, 28:47, that's one of my favorite times;

roughly 4 minutes from now.

PLT Look over the ready verify again. HIGH, LOW,

HIGH ; CALIBRATION 9 ; REFERENCE 2 ; SHUTTER SPEED,
MWDIUM - -

CDR Seville, I think that's where Columbus left from.

PLT FRAMES, 53; INTERVAL, 10. Didn't he sail from - -

255 12 24 50 PLT MODE 5-

CDR Maybe he did. I can't remember.

- PLT RANGE,60.

CDR Good old Columbus left from - -

PLT AUTO B.

CDR He left from there and came back.

PLT Here we go. Standing by now.

255 12 25 00 PLT MARK. EREP, START, now MALF light out ; TAPE
MOTION light is on.

CDE Okay, we're over some islands - could be Canaries.

PLT 25 :(16,AUTO CAL.

CDR I can see the dogs down there.

255 12 25 07 PLT MARK. I'm AUTO CALing you.

CDR All right.

255 12 25 l0 PLT 193 A is coming ON. 194 to MANUAL.

F 255 12 25 18 PLT Okay, all that's done.

2326

PLT Now what?

CDR Good idea.

CDR What else are we going over?

255 12 25 31 CDR Saragossa_ we'll pass Saragossa. Oh, boy.

CDR 28:47. Wonder how accurate EREP is today.

Wonder how their computers worked. They don't
have an HP35 down there, so they may be a little
off.

PLT You down there, 0.?

SPT Yes.

PLT Got the door open?

SPT Yes.

PLT Okay.

CDR He's not talking much today.

SPT No.

CDR (Laughter)

CDR He's conserving.

PLT (Laughter) That's why that's there, O.

CDR 28:47; 2 minutes 22 seconds.

255 12 26 35 PLT Short pass. I wonder if all these count as

passes?

CDR I think the minute you hit the Z-LV switch it's a
pass.

CDR Okay, there's some nice clouds down there.

Scattered. Scattered to clear.

CDR No coastal stratus at the moment.

255 12 27 17 CDR CAMERA, ON at 28:47. Up here I think I can do

that.
 2327

PLT You'll recognize Milan by all the big spagetti

fields around it.

CDR I know, I've been - Think it's about harvest

time, isn't it?

PLT I don't know. It looked like harvest time in

the workshop last night. Spaghetti with that
umbilical all torn up.

CDR You should have seen that umbilical in the work-

shop, Houston, when we got it all apart last night.
That whole thing has three hoses and a tether, and
then a big bag of wires.

255 12 27 45 CC I can imagine. Did you get the job done?

CDR We got it done except for the - we haven't finished

taping it up. We got it apart.

255 12 27 53 CDR It sure is a lot better. I think it's going to

make the 509 and T20 much better flying. Very
limber and shouldn'tgive much of a tether force.
It'll give some. Even a string does up here, I've
noticed.

PLT 28:47. Takes a long time - -

PLT Okay, we're in REF 6. We have been since 27:46.

Stand by.

CDR Got some good clouds. There's a little stratus

coming in, but at 28:47 we're going to go to ...

255 12 28 22 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER to STANDBY.

CDR Okay, we're coming up on the coast.

CDR 28:29.

255 12 28 36 CDR Now I got some stratus.

255 12 28 38 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER, ON.

CDR 28:47. We Just passed the coast.

PLT Getting a lot of exercise with the ALTIMETER

F today.
2328

255 12 28 46 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER to STANDBY. MODE i, he says.

CDR Okay, now my guess is we've gone too far. I'm

going to go back near the coast here. Although
it's - there's a nice river. Zing in stratus.
Got plenty of time to find it. Look at my other
map. Seville is off to the left of the river,
it looks like. I'm zoomed in. Sort of looking
around.

255 12 29 15 PLT Got ahead on the ALTIMETER there, Houston.

CDR There's Seville, I think. Yes, that's it.

255 12 29 28 CDR Okay, we've got it.

PLT Got ahead on the ALTIMETER and flopped back there

to 05.

CDR There's a nice field. We'll work on it.

PLT Andit'sON.

CDR Uniform site. I'll track it to minus lO.

PLT Working.

PLT Got 1 minute ahead. Okay, there.

255 12 29 46 PLT MARK. STANDBY. Now we'll go to MODE 1.

CDR That's a nice field we're getting all this time.

It's a uniform site.

PLT ... it back on.

CDR Looks like northeast of Seville. Seville's hard

to see. It's a little hazy down there, today, but
we got her.

255 12 30 00 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER back ON again.

CDR Minus lO. That's it. Let's pull back out and
let's turn that off and that off, and go to the
next one, which is 31:37:45.

255 12 30 22 CDR 45 UP and LEFT 0.6.

CDR Okay, we've got overcast skies now - -

 2329

255 12 30 32 PLT Standing by for MODE to READY.

CDE - - 31:37, that's a minute away.

PLT Get the tape burner going.

CDR The clouds are clearing up a little bit.

CDR Getting ready to go across the Med and then into

Marseille.

255 12 30 47 PLT MARK. MODE, READY on 192.

CDR 31:!37 coming up, maybe.

255 12 30 57 PLT AUTO on 190.

PLT 0k_r. 33:26.

CDR 31:137. About 32 seconds frc_n now.

CDR Marseille. We're going to get you, Marseille,

if you're clear.

PLT We had a short interupt on the ALTIMETER data

28:45, there, Story, and I got her back on and
running.

255 12 31 26 CDR Ok_T, I think we're approaching Marseille.

CDR Seems to be overflying everything today.

CDR Okay. That's it. Run that in. Let's see if

we can see the - there's the city of Marseille.
Let's try a site. There's a nice site. It's a
little bit northeast. There's another north
site. I think that will be good.

CDR Okay, let's track right there.

PLT Way to get them there, A1.

255 12 32 00 CDR It's a nice field. It's green.

CDR And we'll track it to minus lO again.

CDR If they're not going long. I keep wanting them

f to stop on the coast and they go to the middle
of town. So I guess that's not bad.
2330

255 12 32 23 CDR They do about right on. Okay, we're still

tracking at plus 15. We're tracking to minus i0.

CDR Everything looks good. Okay, we're now minus i.

CDR *** 7, 8, 9, i0. Okay, time is 32:56. 32:56 I

think. I can't make 33 - I want to go - 33:39,
which is zero and LEFT, 8.4.

PLT Standby for 33:20 here, for the ALTIMETER, ON.

CDR Zero, LEFT, 8.4.

PLT - - 24, rather.

CDR 6, 7, 8. Oh, it's going to be clouds. I want to

do this at 33:39.

255 12 33 20 PLT MARK. ALTIMETF__ to STANDBY.

CDR 33:39.

PLT Stand by to go REF 2 here.

CDR We're looking for Milan. 33:39. At zero,

LEFT, 8.4.

255 12 33 39 CDR MARK. Okay, we're on. Let's zoom in and see what
we see.

255 12 33 h2 PLT MARK. REF 2 on 191.

CDR Okay, now drill A right here. We're having trouble

seeing if we've found a town.

PLT 190, INTERVAL, 16.

CDR Scan around a little bit. We could be on a town

and not know it, it's so hazy.

255 12 33 55 PLT MARK. INTERVAL for 16.

CDR There's an airport, so we know we're near town

somewhere.

255 12 3h 01 PLT MAP_. MODE, STANDBY, 192.

CDR ... by here to take it but it's very hazy and

I don't know if we'll even be able to see the
 2331

pictures. I'ii go near the airport. We'll take

it right on - didn't get it. Okay, didn't get it.
Talked too long.

CDR End of it.

255 12 34 26 CDR Okay, I've got to do an SI maneuver at 12:35.

255 12 34 43 PLT MARK. AUTO CAL.

255 12 35 i0 PLT READY light out on 190. We'll put that in STANDBY.

PLT 36:20 next.

255 12 35 26 CC Skylab, we're 30 seconds to LOS. Your maneuver's

looking good. We'll see you over Honeysuckle
in 35 minutes. We'll be dumping the tape recorders
there. And that's at 13:09.

PLT Okay, Story. We'll see you there.

PLT Stand by to shut her down.

255 12 36 20 PLT MARK. MODE, MANUAL.

PLT I don't think it is.

CDR ...

PLT No, we turn everything off, but we leave the

film in.

255 12 37 26 PLT Okay, EREP, STOP. We had the 191 READY light right
on time, and the EREP SYSTEM switch has been put
in STOP. And now we are going to pilot this
machine down after we voice record B-7. And
Bravo 7 is reading 31 percent. We go to DOOR,
CLOSE. Wait for the lights to come on. Close
the 1190 window.

255 12 38 02 PLT CLOSED. And we latch it. And then we're going
to go off RECORD and - So this is the end of the
message on EREP 24. And as I mentioned earlier,
I had a interrupt in the 193 ALTIMETER data, having
misread 29:45 to be 28:45. And so I went to
STANDBY at 24 - 28:45. And then I got the ALTIM-
_"I'ERback ON in MODE 5, as you requested, before
the STANDBY time of 29:45. So it was an interrupt
2332

in that period from after 28:45 sometime, although

we were taking data in the right mode up until
29:45, at which time we went to STANDBY, MODE 1.
Okay, so that ends the message on this EREP
pass and we'll see you later for the next one.

255 12 39 05 PLT Thank you.

255 12 54 07 SPT SPT on channel A with a brief message to the

EREP officers. The frames used on the first pass
over Europe for this morning was 35; 35 frames
used on the ETC. Next message goes to both the
EREP officer and to Bob Nute - Bob Nute. Don't
forget to send up on the next mission that little
lever that holds the clock in place on the ETC
camera. I have a piece of tape holding the clock
up against the frame of the camera so that it will
be properly registered on the film. But it's
still not as good as a proper little spring clasp
would be. And since that one's come loose and
drifted away and we haven't found it for several
weeks here, I don't think we're going to find it.
You ought to send up a replacement on the next ---
flight and make sure it gets installed correctly.

255 12 55 06 SPT End of message to the EREP officer and to Bob

Nute from the SPT.

255 12 56 58 SPT SPT with a message now that goes to Dave Brooks,
Fred Koons, and anyone else interested in the
orientation of the TV camera when looking out the
wardroom window. We had a message a week or so
ago which involves the procedures for setting up
the TV camera looking out the window. Apparently,
there is some concern about what the min - what
the correct minus-Z axis direction is when looking
out the wardroom window. Yesterday, when we were
doing the lunar cal operations, I attempted to
make one other operation - one other calibration
which might be of some benefit to you. During
the lunar cal operation, we went into an ATT
HOLD maneuver which placed the Moon near the
minus-Z axis of the spacecraft. We then performed
a cal maneuver which swept the minus-Z axis of
the spacecraft through the Moon slightly and then
stopped in ATT HOLD and made some other measure-
ments over there. Now it is after this scanning
maneuver that we went to the - to the next ATT _-_
HOLD position. ThenI placed my eye over by the
 2333

galley in order to put the Moon in the center

of the wardroom window. And so I'm going to
tell you the coordinates of exactly where my
eye was located in order to place the Moon in the
center of the wardroom window. And perhaps this
will help tell you exactly what the minus-Z
direction is. I'm not sure this'll help, but
perhaps it will. Now after this scan maneuver,
my eye was located against the commander's food
drawers. As close as I - My head was right up
against those food drawers which are adjacent to
the galley in the wardroom.

255 12 58 53 SPT And :my right eye (I had my left eye closed.), -
My eye was 1 inch to the right of the upper,
right-hand corner of this galley indentation.
The indentation that I'm talking about is the
spot wherewe insert the cans of food after
we've already eaten them. So it's set back into
the wall 6 or 8 inches or so. My head was out
against the commander's food lockers and, as I
_ said, 1 inch right, 3 inches down from the upper,
right-hand corner. So in that location with my
eye, the Moon was in the center of the wardroom
window. I hope that will identify for you exactly
where the mlnus-Z of the spacecraft is.

255 12 59 44 SPT The Moon was apparently not precisely on the

minus-Z axis at that time. It was slightly off.
But by working with the EREP people, you can
compute what that angle was, and apparently it's
only a degree or so - something - some small angle
like that. Now one other thing that is of
interest: The orientation of the gridwork is
not precisely parallel to the minus-Z axis. In
other words, my eye to the Moon did not follow
exactly along the gridwork, but it was pretty
close. It looked like the gridwork moved parallel
to a line about 5 degrees - 5 to lO degrees to
the right of the Moon.

255 13 O0 23 SPT And so as I looked at the Moon, in order to make

my eye parallel to the gridwork, I had to swing
it to the right about 5 to l0 degrees. Let's
call it l0 degrees. And that will then tell you
approximately what the grid orientation is, with
respect to the minus-Z axis of the spacecraft.
2334

255 13 00 43 SPT So Dave or Fred, if you're not the right people

who are concerned about this, could you try to
make sure that this information gets transmitted
to whoever it was that sent that other message
and who was trying to establish this orientation?

255 13 01 01 SPT End of message to Dave Brooks, Fred Koons, and

anyone else interested in the orientation of the
wardroom window.

TIME SKIP

255 14 20 48 CDR Okay, information for the EREP officer. This is

the CDR. We've made our 14:00 pass across Germany.
It was clear; got about i0 handheld photos right
across Germany. And at the same time, Jack was
using the 300-millimeter Nikon, and he got Berlin,
Munich - I don't think he got Berlin; take it back. __
Got Munich and several other large cities in Germany.
Got Vienna, - I don't know. We - we just got a lot
of good pictures of Germany. Tried to cover the
area broadly, inasmuch as your message had indicated
previously that they wanted a lot of Germany. So
I think we got us some real good pictures there.

255 14 21 29 CDR CDR out.

255 14 21 37 CDR A little more information for EREP. Another thing

we got, although it wasn't on the list - I think
we got some of the best pictures we've had of
England. It was clear, a little hazy down there.
We didn't go over it of course. We always go
south of it, but we shot up towards it. It looked
to me llke - like we got some pretty nice pictures
up there. France looked fair after we got further
into it_ so got a good picture of Paris. And we
think we got you some good pictures across Europe
this time.

255 14 22 03 CDR CDR out.

255 14 22 ll CDR Message to Fred Koons and Dave Brooks about TV-13.
CDR Just did 13; think we got some real good pic-
tures. Now they're not all in sequence there.
You'll probably find that I got some long shots
 2335

of ()wen working the panel, throwing some switches.

Then I came up close and had him throw those
switches again, so that you could cut back and
forth. Also, one of the best sequences, I think,
is he put on the image-intensity-modified monitor
(That's the little telescope-looking thing.) And
looked through it for a while at one of the things -
one of the scopes and put it back, got out our
Polaroid camera, and took a couple of pictures.
This, to me, looks real good, because he's looking
in it. And tried to get some from the back and
also from the side. My guess is that'll be some
re_[ good - some photography for the networks,
provided it's cut and narrated right.

255 14 23 ii CDR Some of it's a little out of sequence because I

tried to - had - had to get him doubles there. But
I tlhink it - We tried to get everything they asked
for. Rolling was something on the monitor. On our
monitor, it looks bad; looks like it doesn't show
up. But that's during - Just before that pass,
Owen did a lot of work on the monitor, showingit
to the ground. So you've got information on VTR,
not only for you but Just prior to that for about
6 minutes of this monitor. So when you want to
come close in and see what he was doing, you can
flash back and forth to some of those pictures.
One of them particularly good is - was integrating
and flashing the XUVMON on. So you'll see a blank
scope and then a big flash will have the image of
the Sun. And it'll go away and then a flash again.
And I've got some long pictures of him twid -
twiddling that knob, and so you might be able to
cut back and forth there.

255 l_ 24 01 CDR CDR out.

255 14 27 14 CDR This is the CDR, and we're doing 183. We're going
to try to do a good Job of it today so you can get
some real good data. I've loaded DAC 8 with UA02
film. I've run 2 seconds of it at 24 frames. I'm
standing by to - give the exposure. Our time that's
available, 27; we're rapidly approaching that if
we're not - Well, we're a little bit past it.
I'm going to RECORD. Okay, EXPERIMENT 1 RECORDER
is recording. I've got the mirror set; and
ROTATION, 36.1 That accounts for an actual Nu Z

of plus 0.i. And so you ended up with a real NuZ

2336

of plus 1.2. In other words, the pad is plus

1.2 Subtract a plus i, and you get i.i And I
added that and got 35.0 and 36 - (hiccup) 1.
TILT is 15.3, all zeros, 300, and zero. I'm
waiting Just a little bit longer before I start
this exposure, to give it a little bit more time.
Don't want to foul you up.

255 14 28 28 CDR And now it's 14:28. I think that's plenty late
enough. So without further ado, I'm going to hit
the SEQUENCE, START. Stand by for am ark.

255 14 28 30 CDR SEQUENCE, START.

255 lh 28 39 CDR MARK. Okay, it should be running. I'm listening

to the DAC. I never heard the DAC do a doggone
thing last time. So I'm going to listen real
closely.

255 14 29 13 SPT Hello there, A1. Could I work in about a 90-second

commercial?

CDR You sure can. I'm just waiting to see if the DAC -
does anything.

255 14 29 20 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A with information

on the last ATM pass, which ended about lh:25 Zulu,
for the ATM PIs and planners. The Sun-centered
JOP 1 Alfa, Bravo went as scheduled. On the next
building block, we changed the pointing. We went
over and did see a small prominence, about 100, at
1 radius above 15 and 19 i.nthat general vicinity.
Wasn't very spectacular in H-alpha, but I assumed
some of the other information indicated it was a
little more interesting. So I first pointed ROLL,
zero, and DOWN, 200; RIGHT, 941. After starting
the MIRROR, AUTO RASTER and speeding about halfway
through, I finally decided that it was really down
a little too low and that it would have been better
for the MIRROR, AUTO RASTER to have been moved
higher. So I completed that RASTER and then moved
up precisely 3 arc minutes, up to DOWN, 020; RIGHT,
941. So it's much as you normally plan your maxi-
RASTERS and then did the other MIRROR_ AUTO RASTER
there, so it will be a 2-arc-minute overlap, and
the lines still should match precisely because it
was exact pointing. So that completed that one,
and then in the last couple of minutes of the orbit,
I slewed over onto a bright spot - brightened area
of active region 19 and went to MIRROR, LINE SCAN
f

2337

for JOP 7 information on extinction at the end of

the orbit. And we'll be all set for the next orbit
soon. Now I plan to give you extinction information
at sunrise; so you can be looking for that on the
next orbit. SPT's complete with information to the
PIs and planners.

255 14 31 05 SPT SPT out.

255 14 31 ll CDR Okay, this is the CDR here. I'm still standing
here looking at the DAC, UA02 - DAC 08. Like I
said, it ran at 24 frames per second, but I haven't
heard any noise from it or seen anything that
would indicate to me that the shutter is even
open on the thing. So - I'm not sure what's
going on in there. Maybe it opens and you don't
see the little green light. Now what goes on after
the - all the plates have been shuffled, is you
hear a little click inside that makes you think
the shutter's open, and maybe it occurs - occurs
simultaneously with the shutter opening on this
DAC. Per request, I'm in 1/60 and time. Now
maybe the shutter's open now and I Just don't know
it. Maybe it's not; I don't know. Ought to be
a test we can perform.

255 14 33 38 (Loud tone)

255 14 33 50 PLT SIEVE FLOW; we have a SIEVE FLOW.

255 14 34 07 CDR Okay, I'm still hanging around for something to

happen. Nothing did, as far as I can tell. I'm
not sure this DAC is doing anything. I know it's
powered up, but it Just doesn't act right. Doesn't
act like anything's happening. Just go ahead and
move to the next one in just a second; let's give
it a little more time. The little green light is
on. It'll be off in a minute. It's _]most
300 seconds. Heard a little noise.

255 14 35 05 CDR Okay, now it's cycling back. I don't know whether
it took one or not.

255 lh 35 20 CDR That's the end of it. Try another one. I'm not
real happy with it, but I don't see anything I
can do about it. Okay, let's go back to STANDBY,
as you suggested earlier. Okay, now let's go to
63.2, ll.7. Okay, 63.2, 11.7. Okay, zero, zero
and 1260. Okay, stand by for SEQUENCE, START.
2338

Set control for pass; set EXPOSURE switches for

pass; SEQUENCE to START, within available time.
Available, 14:35 to 56.

255 14 36 37 CDR Okay, it's started. The green light is now on,
on 3. Watching the camera again.

255 14 37 40 CDR Okay, now I listened real closely; it sounded like

the DAC went then. I didn't see any green light,
but it sounded like the DAC was in motion. Maybe
the thing to do is one - one of these in a few
minutes with the DAC on there - I mean without the
DAC connected - and look - and look at it and see
what it does in the inside. That's what I'll do.
After this one, I'll ADVANCE, you know, at the
end. I'll then ADVANCE at 24 frames for 2 seconds.
And then after that, I'll pull it off and set a
small number on the first one and then see if we
can get this dang shutter to open. That way, it
won't ruin your film, yet will allow us to see
what's going on in there.

255 14 38 24 CDR CDR out for a while, because this looks like a
long one.

TIME SKIP

255 14 59 24 CDR This is the CDR. We Just finished 183. I'm going
to ADVANCE this 24 frames a second for a minute -
for a couple of seconds. Here we go. Okay, now
I'm going back to time. Taking this little rascal
off here. Going back to STANDBY. Turning these
OFF, except for this first 20-second one. Now I'm
going to assume that I've got a connection here,
and I'm going to watch and see what happens.

255 14 59 51 CDR SEQUENCE, START. Nothing's happening up here.

Never does for a while.

255 15 00 36 CDR Lot of clicking going on, as you can probably hear.
Cycling to get a new plate from somewhere. Okay,
shutter open, just like we thought. Shutter is now
open; it's exposing film. You - you get no little
green light when that happens; one thing that throws
you. Twenty seconds from now should knock it off.
That did it; closed it. Thing seems to be working
 2339

okay.. That's good news. Let's see if this thing

quits in a minute and the lights go out.

255 15 01 35 CDR All lights are out. Excellent. That's off and
that's off. Looks like it works. I'm going to
go exp - EXPERIMENT 1 TAPE RECORDER, OFF right now.
So everything looks good. Looks like we are get-
ting exposures and it looks like they're getting
the proper length of time; so everything right at
the moment looks pretty good.

255 15 O1 57 CDR POWER, OFF, and that's the end of the game. I'm
going to go and put this stuff up. We may do
something later, I understand from the bigwigs.

255 15 02 24 CDR Okay, CDR going off the comm.

TIME SKIP

_- 255 16 00 48 SPT Okay, SPT on channel A with info for the ATM PIs
and planners. I'm going to debrief the last ATM
pass, which Just finished ... 52 ... Okay, we
went to the approximate position scheduled for that
eruptive prominence in particular. I went right
back to the same coordinates that I had used on
the previous rev, which were ROLL, O; RIGHT, 941;
and DOWN, 200. I more or less established that
spot on the H-AT_HA and then ROLLED to make the
82B SLIT, - ROLT,_D about that point to make the
82B SLIT parallel to the limb.

255 16 01 34 SPT Now I don't remember exactly how far I was off the
limb, but I'm sure it was more than 20 arc seconds.
But checking those exposure lengths, they appeared
appropriate for a distance of more like about
20 arc seconds. Now of course that could very
likely be appropriate for a less bright blob or
feature than what it was - had been reported from
Ramey. So I had to decide what distance to point
away from the limb for 82B, and I finally decided
that about 20 arc seconds would be about right for
them. Also contributing to that was the fact that
there was relatively little H-alpha signature; in
fact, essentially nothing above about 20 arc seconds.
_- And I was pointing Just about right at the top of
a prominence or prominence leg in the H-alpha.
2340

ALSO, ±ooZing at k-JV, there _as no particular bright-

ness extending very far above the limb. I think
it's active region 15 that made it ... Just over
the limb there, and there does appear to be some
brightness associated with that, but nothing very
unusual. So I hated to point out too much beyond
20 arc seconds, although I - From the voice up-link,
apparently you were expecting me to point more like
a 100 arc seconds off the limb.

255 16 03 04 SPT So I took the exposures there, as requested, and

all the MIRROR AUTO RASTERS. In fact, I gave you
one extra one there for 55 and all the 56 exposures
and then went to the center to see if that transient
was visible in the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH, because
by this time, we had reported something as far out
as 0.2 solar radii. So I don't really see anything
unusual in the corona at this point. There is a
particularly bright ray at about 080. That's not
the coordinates because of the eruptive prominence,
however, that you gave me; more like 100. So we'll
have to see if anything else develops out there. --
And the next rev is an EREP rev; so it'll be a
couple hours before we have a chance to look again.

SPT Busy eating peanuts.

PLT Oh, don't you have some airlock activity this pass?

SPT All taken hare of. Ready to go.

PLT Got the door open?

CDR Why does he resent that so? (Laughter) He's going

PLT Okay. Stand by for ALTIMETER and RAD to STANDBY.

CDR - - right next to ... No anvil top per the request

of the - experiment, but that's - we Just can't do
anything about that. Well, we can't hold it be-
cause it's too far off course. Let's get one closer
to the middle, if we can find one. Let's use this
one. Maybe we can Just change targets. And we're
way off to the right.

255 17 06 l0 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER, STANDBY; RAD to STANDBY.

CDR That's why we can't hold it. But we got this one

CDR - - 630, if we want.

PLT Knock them dead.

CDR When we go through 10, we'll go back and get 630.

If we can go back that far. Got Block Island -
made. We'll try to get 630 if we can after this,
but it's behind us.

PLT I'm going to flip the switch down at high ... - -

CDR I - I got to let this through - zero here. We got

lots of data.

PLT Yes, I'm coming up on ... too.

255 17 l0 48 CDR It's coming out, going to center. Let's go back

down and find it. There it is, we got it -

CDR How do you like the maneuver time that's in there,

Dick ?

255 17 13 06 CC We like it, AI. Looks good.

CDR Okay.

PLT Okay, we're going to get a MODE SINGLE on 190 here.

255 17 14 27 PLT I noticed that in looking over my shoulder here,

that 518 is in its SOAK cycle now, Dick. It Just
got that way in the last - little while. And it's
on 915 degrees, which is what we're hoping for.
So we may have a secret on that.

CC Well, good. I hope so.

255 17 14 43 PLT MARK.

PLT Yes. MODE, SINGLE there - we got.

255 17 14 50 CC Yes, guys we're about 45 seconds from LOS. We'll

PLT Okay, I told - I told - thermocoupling may be low.

PLT ... you got a green on the cold end of that -

M560 something or other.

CDR Yes.

255 17 15 12 PLT MARK. There we are, READY light on.

PLT By golly, look at that, right on time. Was on

that. We're going to power this thing down now,
Dick.

255 17 15 59 CC All righty; see you in Madrid.

PLT Yes, sir, and thank you very much. Give old Big
Red a swift kick in the pants there for me, will
you?

CC I'll do that (laughter) - -

CDR Bravo 7 and 30 percent for the record. 190 DOOR,

CLOSED. Close the 190 window.

SPT When are you starting back to SI, Al?

CDR Right away.

SPT Already maneuvering?

CDR Yes, sir.

SPT Okay.

255 17 16 44 PLT Okay, the window's closed and LATCHED, and we're
going off. Okay, space fans this is the end of
the recording on EREP 25 and everything came off
without a hitch. TbAnw you very much.

255 17 35 21 SPT For the EREP officer, on the second ETC pass of
the day over Mexico and along the U.S. east coast
we used 39 frames, 39 frames on the ETC. That mes-
sage goes'to the EREP officer obviously from the
SPT.

255 17 35 _3 SPT Out.

TIME SKIP
 2360

255 18 01 26 CDR CD_ with the information for the EREP officer con-
cerning that Chesapeake Bay - chlorophyll bloom
attempt. One thing that's obvious_ anytime you
have haze, and we have it almost all the time over
these sites except on rare occasions, when a front
has gone through or maybe out in the west s_newhere,
water looks pretty much the same through these op-
tics, through several shades of blue. By that I
mean, I assume that it - for several shades of blue
down there on the water, it still looks a sort of a
gray blue to the operator.

255 18 01 59 CDR My guess is our chances of finding chlorophyll

blooms on inland waters where it can be hazy or
even out on the ocean where it's possibly hazy is
next to nothing with the optic systems the way they
are. You Just can't tell slight discoloration of
the water. Now, if you've got a sufficient amount
of dirt coming out of a river or you've got sandy,
white beaches where the waves are breaking and you
can see the white, that's good. But any subtle
changes of bloom just - are apparent, don't seem
to be. Now if chlorophyll bloomed - if it bloomed
a silver something and it was especially bright
and the light was right, maybe you could. But if
it's a subtle change, I really believe we're going
to have a very difficult time - finding it. And
that may give you some thoughts about - scheduling
that. Jack Just mentioned the same thing with his
thermal upwellings. If we were down there over
the ocean, looking out of a nice clear glass, it's
possible we could see those pretty easily. But
through this optic's change and through the atmos-
phere, believe me you just - you don't see a thing.
It really makes it tough.

255 18 03 08 CDR CDR out. I shouldn't say you don't see a thing,
I should say you don't see much subtle color
differences.

255 18 03 14 CDR CDR out.

TIME SKIP

255 19 49 26 CDR Okay, this is the CDR, 20 minutes has elapsed since
I did T-I. I did that at 19:26; it's now 19:49.

255 19 49 56 CDR CDR out. That goes to EREP obviously.

255 19 50 57 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A, debriefing the

ATM pass that started about 18:10. Did the work
at Sun center and - then during the observing per-
iod, I did the detector check on S055, for which
I presume you have the telemetry information on
the ground. There was one little flurry during
the second sequence of checking DETECTOR 5 in which
there was a count registered on DETECTOR 1. Just
that one little episode, in which the count registered
for about 3 seconds. And nothing on DETECTORS 6
Or 7.

255 19 51 31 SPT Then we did step across active region 19 and 24 to

the limb, took about three exposures for 82B and
about three GRATING AUTO SCANS for 55 and several -
SINGLE FRAME photos for 56. Also, gave you the
TV and some JOP 7 data at the sunset. Then on the
next rev, which is an EREP rev, we didn't have to
maneuver _mmediately so I did give you J0P 7's data
at sunrise and then a MIRROR AUTO RASTER and took
six SINGLE FRAMES over on the limb again near ac-
tive region 2h. Just now ... SOLAR INERTIAL
so we can get rea_y for the other maneuver.

255 19 52 16 SPT End of message for the ATM PIs and planners.

I've got a star in my little thing. I've got the
down-link box in so it can go to a hundred. Okay?
C-4, 71, that's acceptable; C-5, 82, that's accept-
able; C-46, that's acceptable; C-7, 58, that's
acceptable. Well, because of the down-link box,
we're able to pass those. D-2, 86, acceptable with

thing 's great.

255 19 58 20 CDR Okay, if you've just found out, everything was

acceptable. Let me now go to B-7 for you and give
you a new reading on it; 31, same as it always is.
B-8 about l, same as it always is. C-7, let's go
there - 58 and D-6 - 58, also. So everything's
good. D-7 is not greater than 80 so we keep the
COOLER, ON. Everybody's happy about that. Okay,

Le_ me check those too. You'll notice that the
90 DOOR is OPEN. The 92 DOOR is going OPEN. Just
to show you how we feel about it, we are going to
read you the pre-op config check in a moment, soon
as 92 gets finished.

255 19 59 48 CDR Okay. 92's light Just came on indicating DOOR,

went okay, by the way on C_-7.

CC Roger.

255..20 04 06 CDR Put in the changes to the Entry Checklist a few

minutes ago. They look a little complicated, but
I'll have to read it. Also read the blurb you sent
up and that's a good thing. I'll have to digest
it awhile.

CC 0kay, A1. Good.

_ 255 20 04 24 CDR Concur with your cr_ments about sending up addi-

tional information for quads A or C failure, or

the undocked DAP and then you will re_-in there
for the rest of the mission.

CDR Okay. In other words, I do the burn in the un-

docked DAP.

255 20 09 _4 CC That's correct.

CDR I thought there was note down there that said

you can't ullage if you do that. You lose its
pitch. I got to go read that again. It probably
says - it probably says that you can't ullage
in docked. Well, let me get back to this Job.

Pyramid Lake is a very distinct aqua color.
Uniform area in this dry lakebed is what we're
getting right now.

255 20 16 08 CC Roger, Jack.

255 20 16 22 PLT Looking at the first one, which is the Smoke

Okay, that's good enough.

PLT Let's take some data right in here now. We're

on the Black Rock Desert now, Dick, picking a
uniform site. It's a little bigger, I guess.
I'd have to say that the sites - sites are more
uniform in the Smoke Creek Desert than they are
in the - this one.

CC Roger, Jack. I'm looking at the picture of it.

I wish I was looking at it through the scope.

CDR We do, too. We wish we could crowd all of us

_ 255 20 49 h8 SPT Okay, SPT on channel A, information for the EEEP

officer. Here's the frames tally for mission
day 47. That's day 255. Three ops today. The
first one was 35 frames, the second one was 39
frames, and the third was 30 frames, 30 frames
only. Okay, one other unfortunate thing to re-
port - I didn't connect the vacuum hose on the
last ETC ops. So, I assume that will be a fac-
tor in your resolution obtainable from the film.

255 20 50 18 SPT And I'd appreciate same comment about how much
the picture resolution will be reduced. No other
malfunctions or anything else. As far as I know,
everything else went normally except for the fact
that I didn't have the vacuum hose connected on
run number 3 over San Francisco and northern U.S.

255 20 50 35 SPT End of my message for the EREP officer from the
SPT.

255 20 51 33 PLT Hello there, space fans. This is Jack on chan-

nel A. The subject today it T002, star-to-Moon
sightings. So we're going to get out the star
Fc_alhaut out of our hip pocket out there, which
I see before me, and zip it up over the Moon,
._. which is very full at the moment out the window.
And the temperature of the sextant is 70 degrees
and its diopters are a minus 1.25.
2370

255 20 51 59 PLT And since we're sitting right around the zero
somewhere, we might as well do zero-bias Sightings
first and rip off about 15 ms-ks on old Fomalhaut
against the Moon. First thing we do is get the
filters out of there. We zip in on Fomalhaut,
which I see before me. Yes, it - and it depends
on where you put it on your ear, AI.

CDR ...

PLT Oh. If you make it too tight it won't work. If

it's on the wrong part of your ear, it won't work.
Okay, excuse me for interrupting and shouting
at you, young lady.

CDR ...

255 20 52 53 PLT Oh, yes. Stand by i, please.

255 20 53 13 PLT Okay, here we are. We're ready to go again, be-

lieve it or not. Now - because I have managed _-_
to wear out another battery, the light does not
work. Batteries don't last if you leave them -
leave them on.

255 20 53 45 PLT MARK. 0.006.

255 20 53 58 PLT There it is again; number 2, 0.005.

255 20 54 16 PLT Okay, there's number 3; 0.003. Right there.

Okay.

255 20 5_ 38 PLT Okay, there's number h; 0.006.

255 20 55 0_ PLT And here's the final zero-bias setting; it's O.00h.
Okay, now let's crAnK in - a few angles here. Crank
in a few angles. Run old Fomalhaut up to the Moon.
I think what we'll do this evening is - put the
Moon - Yes, that's ,11 right - put the Moon in the
upper optical path and Fo_lbaut in the lower one.

255 20 56 00 PLT Put those - usual mode of operation so it Just

m_kes it a little easier on the neck and all that
kind of thing. It's not quite as simple as Just
rotating the sextant around to match the line of
sight. If what you're looking at is outside the
corner of the window or something like that, that
little idea Just doesn't work. If the window
 2371

was infinitely big or everything was right out

in front of you, then Just rotating the wind - the
sextant around would work very well, I guess.

255 20 56 42 PLT But there's a little window here, made smaller

by the fact that it has got so mRny panes. Pro-
duces a pain in the neck. Okay, now we got the
Moon; we go t Fomalhaut. And we're going to put
Fomalhaut - The far l_mb of the Moon from Fomal-
haut looks as though it's well defined. There-
fore, we're going to run Fomalhaut over to the
opposite side of the Moon from which it is nor-
really situated. And there we will take our marks.
Apparently, the Moon is starting to lose its full-
ness of phase. That's not pun; that's what I
mean. The Moon is not quite as I_,11 in the phase
as it had been in the past. Therefore, it won't
be round much longer.

255 20 58 05 PLT MARK; number I. Okay, and mark number i turns

out to be 33.012. Now, I have both filters in
the upper opticalpath to cut down the brilliance
of the Moon. That's a 1.O and 1.3 filter.

255 20 58 37 PLT MARK; 33.028.

255 20 59 O0 PLT MARK; 33.044.

255 21 04 07 PLT Okay, ! think that ought tO _ust about do &t for
this session. Temperature of the _xtant is
75 degrees. Star was Fomalhaut, superimposed
on the limb of the Moon, which is the - the
furthest away from Fomalhaut. This information
goes to Bob Randle of the Ames Research Center
and Robert Nute over there in building 4. And
they'll know what to do with it. And that's
about the end of the message.

255 21 04 39 PLT Thank you very much for listening.

TIME SKIP

255 22 lh 25 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on chnnnel A debriefing the

last ATM pass. Did JOP 6 twice; went okay. And
there's some changes on the alignment here. I did
get an alignment 3 days ago, as I guess you know.
And I guess, perhaps, my comments on that alignment
were the thing that prompted you to reschedule it
again today. And there is still some doubt about
whether or not it ought to be on ROLL 32 or ROLL 33.
So I went strictly by the procedures today; put it
on ROLL 33. You'll see the numbers. And I think
you may agree when you look at the numbers that it's
on one roll too far to the right. But it was right
on the dividing line between those two, and I per-
sonally think ROLL 32 is a little bit better, but
the way the ali=nment procedures are written up,
it's going to force you up off onto that next
right-hand roll.

255 22 15 18 SPT So here's the way the numbers looked today. Day 255
at 21:h5 Zulu: plus 953, plus 953, 55 and 95h. At
the lower limb, it's minus 955, minus 957. At the
left limb, H-ALPHA is minus 953, 82B is minus 955.
And then after stepping into ROLL 33, 55 was a
minus 958, barber pole to gray. At the right limb
then, 82B was plus 953, but I had to clear right
to 951, in order to get that switch from barber pole
to gray, indicating that it's a couple of arc - at
 2373

least a couple of arc seconds too far on that side.

The MIRROR POSITION is 09/33. The FINE SUN S_SOR
readout - no, I don't think you're interested in
those anyway. So I can leave it on 0933, I don't
believe it's quite as good as 32.

255 22 16 29 SPT But the alignment procedures are such that that's
the way you end up getting forced into. The n,--hers
today look like it's essentially a tossup. Can go
either way and it also - as I said 3 days ago, it
looks like it takes 30 to 50 percent of the light
on the 55 schedule before you'll get a gray signal
from it. The Sun on the S055 detector is essentially
as wide as it is on the S055 - as on the 82B white
light display. Okay, I spent too long doing that.
But I wanted to get it as accurately as I could, so
I went a little longer than was allowed for on the
time line and did 12 Delta next.

255 22 17 21 SPT On the calibrations on 12 Delta, I went 5 and i0 and

40 seconds. The 240 calibration I had to extend
_f- somewhat below ESS. It extended, let's see, right
down to 2 minutes, which 82B may consider too far
below ESS to be useful. But you'll have to look
at your data and see whether or not you're happy
with that. If you want it redone at 2 plus 40,
of course we can do that any time. And there was
also not time to get Sun-centered and do JOP 7.
So I expect you schedule those every chance you
get anyway, but, well, maybe not quite that often.
But if you want another one of those to m-_e up,
why you'll have to reschedule it, l'm afraid.

255 22 18 08 SPT l'm sorry I couldn't fit it all in as required,

but this four-limb coali_-_nt took me longer than
schedule because of this problem on ROLL 32 and
ROLL 33. And l'm going to leave it at ROLL 33 now,
the way the align-_nt procedures suggested. I don't
know whether or not this was prompted by my comments
last time, 3 days ago. If you have any opinion
about whether or not it was - should be one roll
or the other, or any questions about the accuracy
or the way it was done, l'd appreciate if you'd
let me know about it. These comments go to the
ATM Pls and planners.

255 22 18 43 SPT SPT out.

255 22 30 08 SPT This is a message from the SPT to Dick Underwood.

Dick Underwood at Johnson Center. Dick, wanted to
alert you to the fact that we're getting a fair
number of photographs of the aurora and airglow
and sunrise and sunsets with long time exposures,
i to 4 seconds in length, on the Nikon, using CI
film. Now, one cassette which has a lot of aurora
for the photographs on it is CII04. And I wanted
to alert you %o this fact so not only this cassette
especially, but the others with very faint objects
on them can receive any special handling that may
be necessary. I don't know whether you have to give
the whole cassette the same treatment or whether
or not, for smne special items, you try to separate
out and develop separately those which need to be
pushed to the higher ASA ratings.

255 22 31 15 SPT But CII04 is one that I understand - Well, it's

one with a lot of faint or dim-object photography
on it and certainly will need to be pushed to the
higher ASA levels. Most of the photographs are
i to 4 seconds in length, and the intensity of -_--
the aurora is brighter than the night airglow -
80-kilometer airglow. I would say that it is, at
its brightest, comparable to the albedo of a cloud
under a half to three-quarter Moon. So you know
what sort of - I expect you know about how bright
the clouds are and - half to three-quarter Moon
reflected light is about the same intensity. So
I wanted to alert you to the fact that there is a
fair -mount of photography of this nature and in
particular CI104.

255 22 32 Ii SPT End of message to Dick Underwood from the SPT.

255 22 33 42 SPT Okay, here's a message to Dr. Bill Thornton,

Dr. Story Musgrave, Dr. Mike Whittle, and M172 Pls.
Bill, I tried to get same numbers relevant to the
effect of spacecraft maneuvering on the ca1_bration
of the mass measuring devices. And here's the
way I did it. We were maneuvering from Z-LV back
to SOLAR INERTIAL this afternoon between 17:15 and
17:28 Zulu. During this maneuver, we had a rate
of PHiy-dot of minus 0.0614. So that is 0.06 degrees
per second, negative, about the Y-axis. During
this time, I tried to get some numbers on the
three mass measuring devices with no masses on them
at a11. In other words, Just their own weight.
Here's the way the numbers came out.
 2375

255 22 3h 52 SPT On the wardroom S_4D: 1.95600, 628, 619, 623, 636,
629, 631, 621, 622, 626, 617, 600. Then I went to
the waste management and got the following numbers
on that SMMD: 1.96665, 697, 647, 661, 651, 708,
685, 696, 706, 695. And that was A11 done between
17:21 and 17:23, for that last one. Then I went
to the BMMD, next level, and got: 2.702hh, 217,
246, 230, 202. And that was completed Just short
of completing the maneuver back to solar inertial.
Then a little later - a couple of hours later, while
we were in solar inertial, and essentially the rates
were in zero - I got the following numbers.

255 22 36 20 SPT In the waste management compartment: 1.96616, 623

607, 579, 556, 472, 706, 668, 641, 602, 532. In
the wardroom, I got 1.95647, 605, 601, 633, 625,
639, 651; and in the B_I4D, 2.702h4, 213, 241, 231,
241. I'm not trying to average these or anything.
I haven't had time to do that today, and I'm sure
when you do that, you'll find some little differ-
ences in the averages. I'd like for you to see if
you could predict what disturbance there is expected
to be at these very small maneuver rates, or if
the differences in the averages are lost down in
the noise level of the measurements themselves.

255 22 37 36 SPT One objective of doing this is to not only give

you information about the rates, but hopefully to
eliminate these contraints on when we do the
measuring. It looks to me possible at any rate,
that there's not going to be any effect of this
maneuvering, and I would appreciate hearing what
you think about the n_hers. As a matter of fact,
if you could Just send that up Just by CAP COMM
tomorrow, Just that you have the n,_hers and I
can go away - go ahead and throw away this data,
which I'd like to do. And if you could mention
that, I would appreciate it.

255 22 38 12 SPT One other item should be mentioned, Bill. On

the S_@4D in the head, I noticed that on the first
set of measurements, the handle was loose that
holds down the pressure plate. There are six
very small, little Allen-head screws which hold
that down. Three were gone; the other three were
loose. Alhad some time a little later and got
those tightened down, and at the same time found
that the screws which hold the hinges together -
hold the hinges on, were also loose. And so
 2376

he got that tightened up. Now I don't know that

that affected any of those first - that first
set of measurements.

255 22 38 48 SPT I did see the handle vibrating Just a little bit.
And so that could of affected the wardroom meas-
urements during the first set when we were maneu-
vering at 0.06 degrees per second. And that's
tightened back up now and that's the only other
thing worth commenting on and I would appreciate
hearing from you about it. End of messages to
Drs. Thornton, Musgrave, Whittle, and other MI71 Pls.

Went entirely nominal. However, instead of doing
the first - the time 22 - JOP 2A on 7, at

was, down in the neighborhood of 1.0 and 1.
Hit it right exactly on the limb as best I
could, although active region 15 was not in sight.
I then went to 19, performed that. Got through
early. Gave an 8-minute exposure on FILTER 5
to 56, and after finishing 19 GRATING 0426,
did a MIRROR AUTO RAS'I'_ at GRATING 766, so got

256 03 02 01 PLT I noticed that on the east limb, east, southeast;

we got same more brightening in a streamer there
that - at least three positions that we didn't
have yesterday. Looks like there's one that's
kind of cattywampus. It doesn't stick out radiRqly,
it's kind of at an angle to the - to the radius.
And over on the west limb, still got quite a bit
of enhancement in the corona. And one real cen -
central - central light, bright streamer going out
which is interesting to look at. And another
than that, it looks like there's Just maybe a
little bit less brightening on the west limb today
than it was yesterday.

256 12 XX XX CDR The ATM science room forwarded the results of the
fun at ll:lS. I did not do the last two items.
They wanted to do 2F - ended up 2F, step 1. Ran
out of time. I went back on 54. I'm still con-
vinced that it didn't take the short exposures
on 5_; here's what it did - what I think happened.
I think I ran FILTER 1. My little timer light
came on, I waited 12 seconds, no frames changed.
I flipped to 2, but what I think actualSy occurred
in there is it cycled and did a double run. And
when I noticed my little light on yellow, which
meant take a look at the panel, it had already gone
through the short exposures on 1 again. And it
was now in the process of doing the long ones.
So what I did was go ahead and take FILTER 6 and
then I kept backing the frames up and took FILTER 2
again. FILTER 2 is being - would you say has -
a few extras in filter - short ones in in FILTER 1
because it's playing over itself. And a few extra
 2379

of FILTER 2 because I switched in the middle there.

And now you're getting a i%_II set of 2, so I want
to make sure you've got a 15_II set of synoptic
filter positions so it may have shot off so_ extra
54 frames here but I don't think it could be
helped because of the general cycle there.

Now you should already have the blood sample
vials - no not the blood BSVs hut the ASP for a
blood draw on day 248. I sent those down earlier
and you should have them. And ... after that was
complete, did a finger check for the hemoglobin
measurements. These are the results that follow.
For Jack's finger check, with my right eye, 16.1,
16.0, 16.0, 16.0, 16.0; with my left eye, 16.1,
16.2, 16.1, 16.0, 15.8. On AI, with my right eye,
15.0, 15.0, 15.0, 15.1, 14.8; with my left eye,
15.1, 14.9, 15.0, 14.8, 14.8. On Owen with my
own right eye, using a - through the hemoglobin
meter - right eye, 14.6, 14.5, 14.7, 14.5, 14.6;
with my left eye, 14.7, 14.7, 14.6, 14.5, 14.4.
Okay, remarkably consistent today, more so than
before. Maybe l'm learning how or something; I
don't know. Anyway, they alI seem to be pretty
good measurements.

256 15 50 54 SPT Now, I made a stab at mes@uring the height of the

red component in the ASP. And here is the way
those measurements look. First of all, you need
to orient the ASP with the narrow end up; that is
the end through which the syringe is inserted to
 2381

fill it with blood. There's a narrow cylinder

there which comes down to a flat, circular place.
There's then about a 45-degree level before it
reaches its maw_mum circnmference and then the
sides run straight down.

265 15 51 31 SPT These measurements refer to Just the measurements

along the straight side. In other words, from
the place where the bevel meets the outer circum-
ference is the starting point of the measurement.
Now from that point down to the red Component for
AR was 1.3 centimeters. There is about a 0.i centi-
meter - in other words, a millimeter red cells -
white cells on top of that. And then the plasma
was down 0.9 centimeters from the same starting
point measurement; that is, the edge of that bevel.

256 15 52 09 SPY And those look like pretty good measurements on

Al's ASP. For Owen's it was 1.4 centimeters down
from the Doint_where the bevel meets the outer
circumference until it hits the red component,
1.4 centimeters, with about a 0.i centimeters
white component on - or - yes, white component on
top of that. And the plasma was also about 0.9
down from the top, but that's a very rough measure-
ment. On Jack, he was about 1.1 centimeters down,
and his was in the same ballpark but not too
accurately measured down to the top of the plasma.
All three plasma vials were completely f_,11 of
clear. So if you can give me an estimate, or if you
can make an estimate of what - the amount of good
from that, I'd appreciate knowing about it and
knowing whether or not this information is of any
value.

256 15 52 59 SPT Next let me give you the specific gravity measure-
ment. Specific gravity for A1 this morning, first
urination, 1.025; 1.025 for A1. Owen had 1.0335;
1.0335 for Owen. Jack measured 1.O301; 1.0301 for
Jack. And water still measures 1.003; 1.00B for
water. End of message to the Mll0 PIs.

256 16 15 28 SPT Okay, SPT on channel A, with information onhis

rerun of the M093 that got lost on the tape recorder
yesterday. Just completed the run; went off exactly
normal. I did wait 1 extra minute before turning the
tape recorders off, if that makes any difference
to you. So instead of l0 minutes of rest; got
llminutes of rest. Just about went to sleep
sitting hereon the bicycle. And let's see, can't
think of anything else. I was going to co-_ent
that a couple of weeks ago, you made mention of the
fact that - Stand by.

256 16 15 5_ CC Skylab, this is Houston ....

256 16 15 59 SPT And for some reason - for some reason the heart
rates that were - the resting heart rates were a
little bit lower preceding a 93 than they were
the 92. They were lower on both 93 and 171 and
tho_8_t perhaps there was an anticipation of the
92 challenge. I'm inclined to think that if there
is still something like that going in the data,
it's more apt to be a part of the ... that always f_"'
follows the M092 operation and that the heart rate
is still suppressed from the recovery phase of the
M092 while we sit here on the bicycle for 93 or
171. So you might see if you think that would
provide an adequate explanation for the somewhat
lower resting heart rates on 93/171. End of message

that they can correlate it or is it Just wasted

up looks good to us. Over.

PLT Thank you, Bruce.

CC And for your information, we believe that TV-4 this

morning was a total loss because of the - the cable
problem with the TV camera, and we'll look into
trying to reschedule it sometime later in the

PLT All right. Thank you. I guess I don't have but

one other time.

256 19 23 55 CC CDR, Houston. On the last pass, when the ALTIMETER

UNLOCKed, did your READY light go out? Over.

CDR Yes.

CC Understand yes, affirmative. Over.

CDR That's affirmative. Yes.

256 19 24 30 CDR I've got to remember that each site has two parts
to it. Last site had two sites, but I - to do
this, track this in the lake and swap it off for lO.
Then I go to Walker, track it until it gets to 5,
and then get out and get this granite outcropping.
The station, see, will be past 5 though, see,
because I do a nadir swath at zero. So that means
when I get this far, you got to be behind it.

PLT Huh! That cuts the nadir swath short - -

CDR That nadir swath ... That lO-second nadir swath,

if I could make it a 5-second nadir swath, it would
be a lot better. Okay, I'm going to do it right.
If we miss the second, we'll miss it. We'll
probably get it, but I don't know if we'll be able
to hang onto it.

256 19 25 lh CC Skylab, this is Houston; 45 seconds to LOS. Next

stationcontactin about 4 minutesthrough
 2400

Goldstone at 19:28. And for the CDR, we don't

mean to be pestering you, but did the ALTIMETER
READY light go out at the same time as the UNLOCK
light came on? That is, were they coincidental?
Over.

CDR I do not know. I looked down and noticed that the

UNLOCK light was on. I looked over and noticed
that the READY light was out. They could have
occurred in either sequence.

CC Okay, thank you.

CDR You bet.

256 19 26 19 PLT A1, I can pick that site up at 36 minutes and

track it down to zero, which is right where you
need to befor your nadir swath.

CDR At 37:08. I don't want to - I don't think we

ought to mess up these swaths even though we don't
thinkthey'rethat grand- - _\

PLT It won't mess them up.

CDR Somebody else obviously does.

256 19 26 38 PLT I'm - I'm not suggesting that we mess it up.

Suggesting that we squeeze something in between
them.

got to - we - Is that right? You got to track

ought to switch permanently right then, if we're
going to switch. I think we could do it, if we
switched permanently.

PLT Think so?

CDR What kind - -

PLT If - if it's all clouds there, why there's no

sense in even looking for it.

CDR Well, then you could do the clouds. You'd have to

do the clouds if it was nadir swath.

PLT I haven't briefed myself well enough on what you

got to do.

256 19 29 01 CDR You point at the clouds and take data. And then
when it gets down to "zilch," you switch over to

256 19 41 12 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Bermuda for

6 minutes. Out.

CDR Okay, everything went okay. We weren't able to

find any thunderstorms around, so that we could
do the special 05. There's some kind of what I'd
call a stratocu or altocu down there, but they're
all very small, puffy clouds. I've been looking
for the last 4 or 5 minutes, and there Just isn't
any around. Owen looked out the wardroom window;
couldn't find any either. Just don't have any
big frontal clouds for us today. I may see some
before it's over. So if I do, I'll take the
data on them.

256 19 41 50 CC Roger; out.

PLT If it hadn't been for a few clouds, we would have

pulled off the neatest EREP stunt so far, Bruce.

CC Heard you swapping voices. We weren't sure exactly

what it was you were setting up for, though.

PLT Right in between the nadir swath, it turns out that

the Oahe Reservoir site that I have is supposed to
fall into view, and I got down there, and I got the
Oahe Reservoir. And that picture of the reservoir
on my book looks like a dragon with front legs and
back legs. And the front legs were open, but the
back legs, where the site is were - were covered
with clouds, unfortunately.

256 19 42 31 CC Sorry to hear that, but it sounds like you're

really hustling up there.

CDR It would have been a good - good show.

PLT It's kind of like close air support, Bruce.

couldn't remember. You Just swath it. We're
swathing at zero zero zero. We're over some cirrus
clouds. We're over land and cirrus. Continue
to 45:33.

PLT That Oahe Reservoir is giving me a fit. I almost

got it yesterday when I ran out of gimbal.
Remember?

CDR Yes.

PLT I had it right on when we quit tracking through

zero because we ran out of right gimbal.

CDR Walker Lake, we got both the lake and the

out cropping.

256 19 50 46 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Canary for

l0 minutes. Out.

PLT Okay, Bruce. Still running.

256 19 52 01 PLT MARK. 194: MANUAL.

PLT Are you there, Bruce?

CC Yes, sir. Still here.

PLT Okay, I - I've noticed that on the AUTO CAL that

we do after - just before we shut things down, it
takes about 2 minutes and 38 seconds as about -
as opposed to 02:26.

256 19 52 42 PLT MARK. And we got the AUTO CAL light on now. Okay. f-_

CC Isn't it normally 02:40?

PLT Yes, but they say to wait 02:26 on our little

checklist change, and that's what's got me puzzled,
because it does say - -

CC Okay, Jack, that is to - I believe that's to allow

you to shut the power off with the calibration
capping shutter in place instead of closing the
door.

256 19 53 08 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER to STANDBY and go to STOP.

PLT Yes, I always wait until the light comes on and -

just to make sure everything's working all right
and so forth. And it takes 02:40 not 02:26.
And perhaps the time wasn't until light on, anyway.

CC Hey, Jack, what we're trying to do is to get you

to push the button, and precisely 2 minutes and
26 seconds after you've pushed the button, put
the 191 POWER switch OFF. This is before the
AUTO CAL sequence is complete.

PLT Okay. Well, then I've been doing it wrong. I -

A1 says he's been doing it your way, and I been
 2_13

thinking that that was a minimum, as opposed to

an exact time.

256 19 53 55 CC Yes. This is when you're shutting down S191, like

at the end of the run here. We want to interrupt
the thing in midcycle so that the - the calibration
cover hemisphere is over the sensor and stays there.
In between runs, the thing is protected, since you
can't close the 191 door.

PLT Okay, I guess I didn't read the checklist change

that way. Perhaps A1 did. I read it - Just says,
"Wait 2 minutes and 26 and then turn the POWER
OFF." And I thought that that was not a time-
critical thing. But since it is, I'll make that
little notation, and I'll do it properly from now
on. And I appreciate your calling that to m_
attention. Glad I brought it up, because other-
wise, I probably would have just kept on making
sure I waited at least 02:26 and then POWER, OFF
sometime thereafter. But I'll do it "right on
f-_ the money"here - from here on out.

CC Okay.

256 19 54 51 PLT I'm glad we found that out, Bruce. And B-T, Just
for the record, is reading 30 to 31 percent. That's
Bravo 7.

CC Roger. We copy.

PLT And the DOOR is coming CLOSED on 192. Window's

coming closed, and we're going off the headset
here .... talking with you, Bruce.

256 19 55 36 PLT And this is the end of EREP number 25 - correction,

EREP number 28.

TIME SKIP

256 21 32 h4 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A debriefing the

ATM pass which Just now ended at 21:30. And I went
through all of the Sun centered and then limb
scanning, not ... the limb scan program, but the
limb - the west llmb worked as S055 is doing and
 _k

2414

J0P 2F, as is on the ATM schedule. Had a little

bit of observing time left over; so I did notice
that the 40 called for on the ATM schedule, of
DOWN zero and RIGHT, plus 970, placed the MIRROR,
AUTO RASTER well above the most active portion of
the prominence or l_mb activity as seen on the XUV
MONITOR. So therefore, I dropped down precisely
4 arc minutes and took another MIRROR, AUTO RASTER
with a GRATING of 766. I then went to the east
limb and took several exposures of the new active
region which had Just come around the limb.

256 21 33 55 SPT That is now visible on the disk, and I presume that
information was not available to you at the time
the schedule was made up. So I took one 240 SHORT
for 82B, a sequence of SINGLE FRAMES for 56. I
got the GRATING around the zero on the active region
for 55 and a portion of a MIRROR, AUTO RASTER and
then went back to the disk center for completion
of a JOP 7. In looking at the next orbit, I see
you have moved down exactly 4 arc minutes. I didn't
realize that you were moving down there at the time
I did the same thing from Just this orbit past.

256 21 34 42 SPT However, it looks as if the information is going

to be cc_pl_mentary, because I did m_ MIRROR, AUTO
RASTER essentially at the - I think it is precisely -
yes, it looks like it's going to be precisely the
same spot, which is within 1 arc second of where
I took the MIRROR, AUTO RASTER on the preceding
orbit. But I did it at a GRATING of 766.

SPT So you have another GRATING position at essentially

the coordinates that I'll be using on the next
orbit.

256 21 35 35 SPT Now this information goes to ATM PIs and planners
from the SPT. Out.

256 21 38 26 SPT Okay, this is the SPT reporting on the completion

of housekeeping item HK 70 X-ray 4, which relates
to the tool sieve calibration. And when I completed

70 X-ray _ on SIEVE A, the PPC02, IN and OUT were

reading, respectively, 5.5 and 3.0. On M0L SIEVE B,
which is, I think, the one you wanted, it was
reading off-scale high, inlet and zero, outlet.
 2415

I then removed the detector end plate. Removed

two calibration cartridges, and so the old one has
replaced the calibration cartridge up in the locker.

256 21 39 14 SPT It said to stow it; it didn't say where, but I

stowed it up in the right locker. And did that
for the information for the - Sieve B is still
reading off-scale high and zero, after replacement.
Okay, I guess that information will go to Schultz
and anyone else interested in mol sieve performance.

256 21 39 37 SPT SPT out.

256 21 48 55 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject is T020, suited run. A1 Bean, the pilot;
I'm the observer. We got him all strapped in,
pressurized; we're ready to undock and Just now
getting the cameras going.

TIME SKIP

256 22 2h 45 PLT Okay, we got to adjust the seat height.

256 22 25 31 PLT I guess we got it as short as we can make it. I

think the seat height adjustment is a little too -
In the suited condition, it needs to be shorter -
needs to be lower. But it's currently in I0, and
that's about as far down as she's going to go.
So that's best we can do. His heels are riding
up off the - the heel - heel's about half an inch.

256 22 27 02 PLT What we need to do is have a shorter - shorter

seat height, which we can't have, or we need to
we need to have the - the - The foot pedal needs
to be slid forward, because his heels in the
suit ride up off the - off the heel blocks. And
it looks like the - his heels are tipped up at
the ball of the feet - bail of the foot and that
the whole foot-restraint unit ought to be slid
forward, Just to match the suit. There's no way
we can adjust the - the height any differently
2416

than it is to - to make it shorter, because it's

about as short as it will go. There's no way I can
pull it out, either, to make it longer. Because
it needs to be shorter. It Just needs to be shorter
and with the foot pads more forward than they are
now. But I can't possibly make it any longer. It
Just would amplify the problem to make them longer.

256 22 28 21 PLT So we're going to proceed as we are. The seat height

adjustment is as low as possible, which is i0. I
Just can't - I Just can't make it any shorter than
that. If I made it longer, it wouldn't - it wouldn't
solve the problem. It'd Just raise his heels off
more. The natural - the natural position of the
suit is not to have the knees bent quite as they
are. It's made for less knee bend than - than the
FCMU is made for. The PSS pressure is 2500 pounds.
We got battery 6 and PSS number 4. And the thruster
block settings are not going to be changed. He
seems to be able to - to pitch and translate with-
out cross coupling.

256 22 30 29 PLT Okay, I've got a hold of A1 now. I'm taking him
out ot the center of the workshop, and we're going
to do attitude change and hold maneuver - pitch.
I'm going to face him toward the film vault. He's
going to pitch up and then down, two times, somehow.

256 22 32 33 PLT I'm going to change your starting position, if

that's okay. Instead of looking at the film vault,
look at the food lockers.

CDR Huh?

PLT How about letting me change your starting position

so you're looking at the food lockers instead of
the film vault, because of this camera thing? Okay?

PLT Okay, AI's gonna start his pitchup. He's going to

be facing the food lockers instead of the film
vault, because I have to operate the camera and
have the cord with me. Okay, stand by for a pitchup
maneuve r.

PLT Okay. This is number 1.

PLT First pitch maneuver.

 2417 _•

256 22 33 49 PLT MARK. He's starting his pitch, facing up.

256 22 34 06 PLT MARK. He said he's stopping his pitch now, stopping
his pitch. He'c counting his i0 seconds to himself
this time.

256 22 3h 19 PLT MARK. He's there. Now he's going to pitch back.

256 22 34 33 PLT Okay, now he's pitching down. Looks like he's
getting lower in the workshop for some reason.

256 22 34 47 PLT MARK. He's there.

256 22 35 00 PLT Okay, he's there. Cameras are off. Okay, that's
one successful maneuver.

256 22 35 27 PLT Standing by for the second suc - second, pitch

man euve r.

256 22 35 45 PLT Cameras are on; this is number 2. Okay, he's

pit chi ng.

256 22 35 54 PLT MARK. About l0 degrees a second, I'd say; l0 degrees

a second. He's giving it a right, down and left,
up. Okay, now he's stopping his pitch, and he
gets a right yaw out of it when he stops his pitch.
Okay, he's stabilizing now. And he's got to roll
to the right ; all but going now.

256 22 36 21 PLT And MARK. He's going back. And he got a left yaw
out of that. When he pitched down, he got a left
yaw. He's going about 5 to l0 degrees a second
this time.

256 22 36 35 PLT Now he's stopping it, stopping his pitch down,
stabilizing himself.

256 22 36 44 PLT MARK. Csmeras are off. Okay. Now the next maneu-
ver. Now I read the pressure, and it's reading
2300 psi.

256 22 37 17 PLT And now he's going to do a y - a roll maneuver.

He's going to be facing the film - the food lockers
again. We tend to work it that way on account of
the way the dome camera is set up. I got to have
the cord with me all the time ; keeps me running

back and forthto punch it. And it isn't long

 2_18 '"

enough to reach from where it is over the film

vault. So A1 is going to roll this time. Okay,
I've got him stabilized about 5 feet above - above
the crew-quarters hatch. Now we're going to start
cameras. Cameras are going. Okay, there he goes.
Standby.

256 22 38 25 PLT MARK. He's rolling to his right. Rolling to his

right. And he - he yawed to his left some there,
too. He's going very slowly, about 5 degrees a
second, I'd say. And he got a yaw-left out of that
roll. He's correcting it with his - He's correcting
his own. Okay.

256 22 38 59 PLT MARK. He's rolling back; rolling back to his right.

256 22 39 14 £LT Rolling back to his right very slowly - much more
slowly thanhis pitch maneuver.

256 22 39 25 PLT MARK. He's there. Cameras are off. Okay, we'll
line him up again one more time.

256 22 39 h9 PLT I don't know of any way I can possibly give a mark
for the FMU camera.

256 22 t0 03 PLT Okay, cameras are on; This is number 2. There we

are.

256 22 40 16 PLT Okay, we'll stabilize him some better. Okay.

there he goes. He's not going yet; he's stab -
same thing.

256 22 40 24 PLT MARK. He's rolling to his right; rolling right

about 5 degrees a second, not faster. He's got
a little yaw. Well, maybe. Yes, a little yaw-left
out of that again. Trying to take some of it out.

256 22 40 42 PLT MARK. He's stabilizing himself now. He's not -

not quite stabilized yet.

256 22 _0 56 PLT MARK. He's on his way back now. He's rolling to
his left. And we're having a little difficulty
in knowing precisely when he's going to begin his
maneuver and when he's stabilized, because he can't
t_lk to me.

256 22 41 20 PLT MARK. Well, not mark, but he's stabilizing himself
back now.
 2_19

256 22 41 23 PLT MARK. He's there; cameras are off. Okay. That's
number 2 roll. Now we're going to yaw. And the
pressure now is 2000 psi. Two successful yaw
maneuvers.

256 22 42 44 PLT MARK. He's yawing right. I didn't give you the
right mark _ he got a little roll left then. Now
he's stopping his yaw to the right.

256 22 42 57 PLT Okay, he stopped his yaw to the right. It weren't

number i. I gave you a little late i on that.

256 22 43 05 PLT Okay, he's yawing back to his left. Looks like you
got a little roll left out of that. Yes, the yaw
left gave him a little roll left. His umbilical
is swinging around behind him. It's actually not
touching much of anything. Now he's stabilizing
himself in yaw, back to the original position.
Okay.

256 22 43 30 PLT MARK. He's there. Okay, we're going for number 2.
_ I'm going to take time out here to make sure his
umbilical is not being interfered with.

256 22 24 33 PLT Okay, I'm going to get back here to do another yaw
maneuver if I can get him stabilized here.

256 22 44 53 PLT Cameras are on for the number 2. _ay.

256 22 25 00 PLT MARK. He's beginning his yaw to the right. About
the same rate - 5 to l0 degrees a second. He got
a little roll right out of that. He's taking it
out. Okay, now he's stabilizing himself in the
90-degree yaw. Stopping - stopping his yaw.

256 22 45 20 PLT Okay, he's stopped.

256 22 25 24 PLT MARK. He's yawing back to his left a little faster.
He got a roll left that time. Crosscoupling in
there. Seems like in every maneuver there's a
little crosscoupling. I notice his heels are
riding up about a - inch. Not even the - okay,
he's stopping his yaw now; his heels are really
riding up.

256 22 45 29 PLT MARK. Cameras are off. Okay, that's two of those.
And we're going to go now to ... maneuvers. Make
sure he's all tightened up here.
 2420

256 22 46 24 PLT Ah, it's coming loose. Got one of our restraint
straps cc_aing loose on the right side here one
of the long ones that goes around to the - ...
Little lashup.

256 22 48 03 PLT Got to do a little repair Job on the restraint deal

here.

256 22 48 20 PLT Tape around it; make sure it doesn't come loose.

256 22 48 33 PLT ... holding; that's the trouble.

256 22 50 22 PLT Okay, let's go to the next set of maneuvers here.

Thought I read a P88, but I ain't sure. Anyhow
it 's reading 2000, at the moment.

256 22 50 45 PLT Okay, we're going to go to the next maneuver now.

256 22 51 38 PLT Hey, 0.?

8PT Yes.

PLT Ready
forTV.

SPT Gee, I could really use about l0 minutes, if that's

all right.

PLT What?

SPT Will l0 minutes be all right?

PLT We got to - we got to go now. 0., I - whatever you

think, but I can't keep A1 in a suit all day.

SPT Well, what does A1 want me to do? Knock off ATM

and ec_e down, or what?

PLT I can't ta]k to him. He - he motioned to me to

have you come - do TV. Well, I don't know. All
we can do is press on and have him - have him some
more later, I guess.

SPT How long you going to be doing that?

PLT Oh, for the next 20 minutes, I guess.

SPT l0 minutes and I'll be down.

 2421

25b 22 54 50 PLT Okay, here we go. Al's going to do a translation

maneuver now, single axis, it's going to he.

256 22 55 27 PLT Okay, he's stabilizing himself.

256 22 55 40 PLT MARK. There he goes; he's translating. Pitching

down a little so he can see where he's going.
He's got a little yaw to the right in there now.
He can't see where he's going is the trouble.

256 22 56 2B PLT MARK. He's there. He's wound up by the water

tanks. Now I got to figure out a way to get up
there and get him.

256 22 57 02 PLT Well, we got a start here anyway.

256 22 57 17 PLT Okay, we're going to go back and do it again.

256 23 04 56 PLT Well, take the button with you.

256 23 05 29 PLT The pictures we won't need. Get rid of it. The
only way to get that button off is - the DAC off
_ when you want it is to take the button with you.
And then you bang it with your elbow and all that
good stuff.

PLT Okay, we're hooking up the - DAC now for a - a

little foot controller input. Okay, now. What
else does it say to do? Connect the power cables.
It worked, and I go f/8, 16 at 1/60; f/8, 16,
60th, and 24 frames. Then about 16 - aim it
between the TP's feet holding it horizontally
along the right edge for sighting. Photograph
his foot movements for 2 minutes. Okay, I'm
going to go tell him what to do - show himwhat
to do. He can't hear me.

256 23 07 32 PLT Must have been the monitor on the cable, huh? Oh,
oh. Okay, here we go to minimum foot control
input.

PLT Okay, he's making his foot controller input, and

we're taking movies of it. Also, I'm taking seme
pictures of the way the feet ride up.

PLT There's no handle over here by the food lockers.

You can't do much.
2422

PLT I'll take a few pictures of this.

PLT Okay.

256 23 l0 47 PLT Okay, that takes care of that. Now we'll put the -
camera back. You asked us to do that.

PLT f/2.

PLT Do some more. He's going to do some more minim_n

foot controller input. I want to get some more
pictures of the way it looks from the side. Okay,
f/2.8, 6, 2_, and a 60th.

SPT Can't hear you, Jack .... ?

256 23 12 51 PLT Not yet, no. This is - this is a - this is a

dumb thing to take pictures. It'll be 5 minutes
now of this.

SPT ...

PLT What? Yes, I'm going to do that right after I

take a few pictures of this. Is it nice?

PLT Okay. Make sure the minimum foot controller

input - put the camera back into - the - proper
place. See there, we go to f/2 at 5 feet and a
60th; f/2, 5 feet, 60th. Slide it back in here.

SPT ...

256 23 15 26 PLT Okay, now we're going to fly a little bit, O.

This is another installment of the Wilbur and
Orville show. We got Orville here, A1 Bean, all
attached to the foot control maneuvering unit.
And this time he's in his spacesuit, which is
different from last time. And - we're going to
have him do - a few maneuvers here.

256 23 16 17 PLT Okay, we'll get A1 positioned over here in the

proper place. And he'll do another translation
maneuver. Hung up on my - camera cable. Okay,
we'll get him slid over here where he needs to
be. Get his camera cable out here where he can
get it. Make sure we're all kind of untangled
here. Guess we are now. Okay, we're getting
cameras on. f--"-
 _ 2423

256 23 16 59 PLT Okay, there he goes. Translating merrily away.

256 23 17 24 PLT Okay, he's translating over to the other side of

the workshop. His foot came out of the foot
controller. I got him. I got him. Okay. Camera's
off. That camera z_nning up there, 0.? Nope, it's
not. Okay, let's take it back over here.

SPT ...

PLT No, it's not. Okay, we'll give him a place to

fasten himself up here. There he goes. Here,
let me attach this camera to me so it doesn't
come loose much. Okay, we're going to do the same
thing again. I'll stabilize him here. This is
number _. That one running up there, O. ?

256 23 19 02 PLT Okay, here he goes. He's translating away. We've

modified the umbilical that he was going to use
because the - it was rather stiff, and it tossed
him around in here. So, all we have now is one
/_ little air line going to him so he can breathe.
He could suit pressurize, but he doesn't have the
water lines and the electrical lines that normally
go in there, so - I - I can't talk to him and so
he can't talk to us. Sometimes he gets out of
reach, and I have to go and figure out a way to
drag him down. Mostly if I can get him moving in
my direction, I'm okay. Like that. Okay, here
we go A1. I'll Just sort of glide him over this
way. And I let loose where I am, then I glide
along behind him, and catch him when he gets here.
It's kind of like playing pitcher and catcher all
at once.

' 256 23 20 08 PLT I get over here just in time to grab him. Okay,
let's see if we can find a maneuver for him to do.
How about that one, AI? Okay, he's going to do
the maneuver I Just showed him, which I have a
picture of. Here's number i, n1_ml_eri for the
c-,_ra. Okay. Translate, and then he's going to
pitch - 90 degrees. Okay, he's translating.

256 23 21 i_ PLT I'm going to try to get untangled and get over
here. Okay, he got a little bit of a right roll
in on that, but he's pitched down 90 degrees now
/_ and he's moving toward his objective. And he's
242_ _

going to reach out and grab ahold of the - one of

these momentarily. Okay, good maneuver there,
A1. This camera's off. Okay. Take him back
through that, one more time. Okay, now, I'm going
to pitch him - around like this and I'm going to
pitch him in that direction over there. If I can
keep up with him and not get ahead of him, I can
catch him before he gets there. Should, but I'm
all tangled up in these wires. Okay.

256 23 22 33 PLT We'll do one more here of the same thing. Cameras
are on. Okay, there he's on his way now. Is my
camera _mning up there? Yes. Okay, there he's
translating a little bit and now he's pitching
forward. This maneuver is completely operated
with the feet. Oh, got a good blast that time.
The purpose of which, of course, is to leave your
hands free to grab or to hold onto whatever you're
doing. And the purpose of us doing this in the
workshop here is to evaluate the feasibility of a
foot-controlled maneuvering unit for use in space
flight. We also have a backpack which can use
hand-controlled input. And we've evaluated that f-_
in the suit as well. Okay. Now, we're going to
turn the camera off. Okay, that takes care of
that.

CDR Let's do that one again.

256 23 24 09 PLT Okay, he wants to do that one again, he says. So,

A1, I'm going to shove you over this way. Real
spaghetti bowl in here with all this - Okay, there
he goes and here I go. Okay, I got him - _]most.

CDR You got your camera cords ...

PLT I know it. My camera cords are always hooked

around something. Okay, now I got you. Come
here, boy; you're m_ne. All right. Okay, Orville,
we're going to try that one more time. And our
good television cameraman up there, Owen Garriott,
says he wants to be lower. We got a few signals
worked up. You don't want to be that low. You
want to be rightabouthere.

256 23 25 27 PLT Cameras are on. Okay. Here we go. There, he's
translating. Going across the true-hoarder -

two-quarter pos [poslgrade? ] _ moving approxi- _

 2425

mately 6 inches per second, I'd say. Now, he's

going to try to pitch down and get to his objec-
tives there band - hand first. There, I got a
little too low that time and dumped the - canister
on the floor here. That camera off up there, 0.?
Want to do it again? Okay, he's going to do it
one more time.

256 23 26 52 PLT Okay, c_meras are on. There he goes. He's

thrusting. Now he's pitching. He gets a
little riEht roll out of that pitch, a little
cross coupling he didn't want, but there it is.
Ok_, now he's pitching down to the rate of
about 5 degrees per second. Stopping his
pitch. Continuing his thrusting. Okay, he's
made it. Okay, movies are going off. Okay, O.,
I think that's about enough TV. Okay. Now let's
see where we were.

256 23 31 37 PLT Okay, folks, now we're in the process of convert-

ing over to SOP operation. We're going off.

_ 256 23 47 50 PLT Okay, space fans, we've got A1 hooked up to the

SOPs, now. We're going to - take him out here.
He's got 4B00 pounds indicated; started with 5000.
I think we're going to omit the single-action
translation maneuvers. Okay, he's going to do a
single trans - action translation maneuver now.
Okay, we Just don't have enough supply to do the
Job.

PLT Okay.

256 2B 49 04 PLT MARK. He's thrusting. There he goes; he's - now,

he's doing the pitch maneuver.

PLT Okay -

256 2B 49 47 PLT MARK. He's there.

256 23 49 50 PLT Hey, 0., you need to come down here and take some
pictures now.

PLT Okay, that was a successful - translation and

pitch maneuver. Okay, we'll try to hurry as fast
as we can to - get as m_nymaneuvers in with this
PSS the way it is, because it's on 4000 now - not
thePSSbut theSOP.
2426

PLT Okay, you ready, 0.?

PLT Oh, okay, sorry about that; we got to go. We'll

do another one for you.

256 23 50 5h PLT MARK. There he goes. Hook it up, we got some

more to do. Okay, he's translating. Got a little
roll to the right in. Ke's going about - h inches
a second. Feet first all the way; this is Just
pure translation maneuver.

PLT Okay, he's stopping himself. There he is. He's

pretty well stabilized now. Okay. Camera's off.
My cameras continued to run; there Just isn't
anyway I can handle all these darn cords and -
and this guy too. I'll just have to wait until
I get over there to turn it off. With the very
little things we got to hold onto around here,
Just have to do with what we got. Okay. PSS is
reading - 1300.

256 23 52 49 PLT Here comes the Big O. You ready, 0.? Okay, here
we are again, space fans. We're doing some more -
foot-controlledmaneuveringunit actions. This
time A1 doesn't h_ve an umbilical hooked to him;
he's got a couple of - emergency oxygen supply
bottles. There he goes.

256 23 53 12 PLT MARK. No, not m_rk yet.

256 23 53 15 PLT MARK. There he goes. Okay, he's pitching down.

The two packs he has strapped on his leg - the
one you see on his right thigh now is one of the
emergency oxygen bottles that's keeping his suit
pressurized and giving him something to breathe.
You notice he's not hooked to an umbilical this
time, as he has been in the past. And he's
maneuvering over here, nearly to his objective.
And there he is; he made it. Okay, Orville, turn
the camera off. I think the one up in the tunnel
is going, yes.

256 23 54 06 PLT Okay, here we go. Now, I'm going to pitch him
over here, and then I'm going to be over here to
catch him when he gets here; I think. Here we go.
Okay, he's going to do one more maneuver here.
Cameras are on.
/'_ 2427

256 23 54 46 PLT MARK. There, he's beginning his maneuver. Get

underneath him here. Stabilize him so he can
begin. There he goes, okay. Translating now.

256 23 55 29 PLT And it looks like he's going to wind up where he -

started out to go to. And now we'll get our
cameras off. They have a camera mounted right in
this maneuvering unit that shows where it's going.
Hope we have one up where you're looking at it
from TV. There, you see how easy it is to -
move a large mass around up here. This - whole
apparatus, including AI and the suit and every-
thing, is probably around 300 pounds. You Just
glide him around. I'ii take his - oxygen DOt_le
pressure. It's down to 2200. And he's down to
a i000 pounds on the PSS. 2200, 2200. Want to
cut her off? Okay, l'm going to have to terminate
because we got to - a low pressure on those PCUs.
That's good, O.

PLT Yes, thank you.

CDR ..•

PLT No. Okay, let 's see what we have to finish. The
only things we didn't do -

CDR A coupl_ of doglegs.

PLT Okay, let's see what - Didn't we do a dog - You

did that. Did you do that twice or once?

CDR Didn't do the dogleg but once.

256 23 57 27 PLT Dogleg - that's all they were asking for. Now
they weren't asking for that with the umbilical.

CDR Let's give them a couple of ...

256 23 57 33 PLT I think we did - on the TV - we didn't give a

dogleg; that's true. Now, the things we didn't
give them were the SOP - were Just the pitch
maneuvers.

CDR •••
2428 _-_"

PLT I know it, I know it, that's the only thing we

missed so far. And - we should give them some
doglegs, like you say - -

CDR Give them a couple of doglegs.

PLT - - and then - and then these things right here,

you have the umbilical effects on ..., repeat
the - the repress, perform steps - step - step 9.
The umbilical effects were significant? They were
not. Turn on both DACs and resume run, perform
two successful repetitions of each m-neuver.
Whew: Want to go through the whole thing again.
What would you like to do then?

256 23 58 15 CDR Couple of doglegs, one ...

###
 DAY257(AM) 2_29

257 O0 03 I0 PLT Okay, here we are amain, s_ace faus - We've mot
A1 off the SOP. We had to terminate that -with-
out getting the attitude maneuvers in - single-
action attitude maneuvers, although we did the
translation maneuver. We ran down to 2000 psi,
and now we got him back on the umbilical and he
wants to do some mor_maneuvers. He's pressurizing
now. SOP didn't want to pressurize the - suit
very well. It kept it up there once it got it
there, but we had to turn off the flow in order
to - sort of to let the reg pressurize it on up.
It held around 3.4, I believe. Now Al's going to
do a - Let me get him situated here. A two-axis
translation maneuver.

257 00 04 25 PLT Okay, that!s MARK. There he goes, he's trans-

lating. Foot slipped out of the right unit but
it is back in now. Okay, now he's - pitching
down and - I guess he's moving toward the FMU.
Feet are going way high in the air; get there
inverted. There - hm's there.

257 00 05 18- PLT MARK. Cameras off. Now we have him in the film
light, we're going to have to change this DAC,
... fromthe FMU. Pull the circuit - circuit
breaker to the camera; camera out.

257 00 07 22 PLT Okay, we're putting the CI69 in there now; it's
got 60 percent remaining. And we'll get it hooked
up here. Okay, CI70 is the used-up magazine; I
put it in my pocket. Now Al's - going to fly a
couple of dogleg -_neuvers with the umbilical.

PLT There he goes.

257 00 09 l0 PLT MARK. Translating.

257 00 09 48 PLT Okay, he's going - at a very slow rate - 4 to

6 inches a second. His feet got pitched way up;
he's in there Just about inverted. And he's
reaching out for FMU-2 now. Turning off his
camera. Okay, I'll take him back over here. Turn
off my camera. Number 2, there he goes.

257 00 ll 01 PLT MARK. He's running, doing another dogleg maneuver -

the second one. Pitched down all the way, Just
about_ now he'a translating.
2h30

PLT Okay, there he is. He gets his camera off. Let

me go back here and get mine off. Ready to fly
around now? Okay, okay, now he's just going to
fly around - do some - crew discretionary maneuvers
as we call them.

PLT I got to go rescue him; Just a minute.

PLT Okay, it looks like we're going to secure this

operation. Okay. Turn my camera off. You going
to fly it unsuited for - or unpressurized? Is
that the idea? Okay, we're going to terminate
the T020 run.

257 00 15 h0 PLT Okay, space fans, this _erminates the run on T020
and - this is end of message on it, and A1 is
going to debrief it later.

TIME SKIP

257 00 39 32 SPT SPT on channel A debriefing the last ATM pass.

Okay, it was essentially all shopping list stuff. _--_
And I talked about doing the item 17 at Sun center,
which was about the only thing that wasn't scheduled.
Then I had to interrupt that to go down and take
some handheld TV of T020, which was on my schedule
pad. So that knocked about l0 minutes right out of
the middle of the block and when I got back there
wasn't time to do the shopping list item - 19 -
item 19, as really planned out. I checked the
times as carefully as I could.

257 00 h0 04 SPT I went aheand and made a stab at doing a modified

shopping list 19 - 19, and here's the way it turned
out. Starting at the minus h arc seconds from the
limb, 82B got their normal set of exposures down
to 20 arc seconds; but at 20 arc seconds, all I
could get was the WAVELkN_GTH, SHORT and it ran for
only 5 minutes, and even then it ran down about a
minute below 400 kilometers. So I had to compro-
mise 82B or 82A - 82B SHORT WAVE and LONG WAVE-
LENGTH information because of time.

257 00 40 39 SPT S055 was on the limb about 4 arc seconds in and
then two stepped out and two more stepped out, and
I kept that down to i, 2, and 3 GRATING AUTO SCAN,
respectively, to those three pointings instead of
three in each; assuming that the intensity for most -_
s

2431

of the radiation, at any rate, was dropping off

with iincreasing altitudes. I gave them a longer
set of grating scans further out in the corona.
At the end, there was Just time for a little hit
of MIRROR LINE SCAN. I did step it back on to
the limb. We set it to GRATING, ZERO in OPTICAL
REFERENCE, then started MIRROR LINE SCAN. I think
I only gave you DETECTOR8 1 and 2. I forgot to
turn the rest of the DETECTORS on for the rest of
the MIRROR LINE SCAN. So you see I have a little
bit of that in addition to the GRATINGAUTO SCAN.

257 00 hl 33 SPT S056. I started to give you some 5-minute exposures.

As it turns out, I made my usual mistake in adding
a SINGLE FRAME, NORMAL to the SINGLE FRAME, LONG,
which I caught at about - oh, 18 - after the first
exposure. So I chopped that down to only two expo-
sures 3 and _ minute - 3 and h FILTER. The first
one, I gave you about a 9-3/4 minute - excuse me -
a 9-minute exposure and the last one I had to give
you only about a 4-minute exposure. It's on FILTER
number 4. You're going to have to check the telem-
_ etry to confirmthose times. So it's sort of a
chopped up mini-limb scan.

257 00 _2 15 SPT I hope that the results are still useful. I didn't
quite fulfill the requirements that were set out
in your - in your teleprinter pad. I barely had
time to swing back to Sun center. Made it by about
5 seconds and did run the JOP 7 about as planned,
except for the fact I only had DETECTOR 1 and 2 on
again. That's when I noticed the fact that I had
not enabled all of them. So you'll have DEFECTOR l,
at any rate, available for that, as well as S052.
That's the end of the debriefing for the last rev.

257 O0 42 52 SPT AT - info goes to the ATM Pls pl_ners from the SPT.

TIME SKIP

257 01 27 39 CDR Okay, this is the CDR with information on T020. I'm
debriefing the run today. Thi_ information goes to
Bruce McCandless, Don Hewes, Lou Ramon, or any other
T020 interested individuals. I'm using the
debriefing guide.
 2432

257 01 27 57 CDR Does pressure suit fit test subject properly? Yes.
If not, where? Were any adjustments made? None.
It fits well.

CDR Does pressure suit, PCU, and ISU fit the FCMU prop-
erly? Pressure suit: In my opinion, you end up
tilting too far back and you can't see0ver your
toes well enough. You need to be, in m_ opinion,
bent further forward in a more natural EVA position.
You're leaning w_y back, and I know it's for the
c.g. control and all that and maybe it's necessary.
But it's - it's not one you like. You can't see
down towards your feet, which is the direction
you're moving well at all. You can barely - Well,
it Just is uncomfortable. I'd like it _/ch better
if you hunched over and your butt were further back.
But I don't think it can get that way. Incidentally,
today we still - we left all the padding in there
per instruction. I did not move a thing.

257 01 28 55 CDR So we had the quarter-inch pad in the back, but it

was not at the butt area; it was up higher. And
naturally, I'd like to have it even more, so you'd
tend to tip forward further, but it'd probably foul
things up.

257 01 29 08 CDR PCU fit well. LSU - LSU fit well. Didn't provide
any problems, except you Just got to have comm. It's
a blind operation up here if you're in the suit,
hearing the air flow by, you don't know what the
other guy is doing; he doesn't know what you're
doing. It triples the time and you - we don't have
that kind of time to waste. Getting a couple of
wires, stringing them down there from the normal
connectors, bringing up maybe a special couple of
electrical connectors with Just those wires, one
to fit on your - your - into your multiple connec-
tor there at the PCU connection and another for
the panel. Couple of wires would be Just - Just
nice. Terrible the way it is now.

257 01 29 53 CDR Were specified FCMU adjustments satisfactory? My

shoes came out a couple of times. I - I had dif-
ficulty telling whether they were adjusted properly
or not. We tried several settings, all of them
seemed to be well enough. At no setting could I
get my heels down in the plate. It appeared that -
that my knees were sort of bent, like the suit likes
_ 2433

to be. When we stretched out, my heels stayed

above. We tried all positions and my heels never
rested down in the foot restraint, but I don't
think that was a problem. You - you asked and I
told you.

257 01 30 25 CDR Foot - Could foot controls be actuated properly?

Yes. Does body or feet feel loose inside suit?
Not particularly, no. I didn't think it was any
problem there. Foot controls could be actuated
okay, except you don't have any subtlety with them
again. Also, your feet slop around _Ach more in
these boots than they do inside shoes, But I'm
not telling you anything that's not one-g operation.
It has the same feel inside the suit as it does at
one g. I think that'd be safe to say.

CDR Do control forces and travels appear to be satis-

factory through the suit? Too high. Much too hard
to push down and up, particularly. Every force in
the suit's too high. I think you ought to - and
unsuited. You ought to release - decrease the
forces and all these pedals;make it a lot easier.
We didn't have any trouble todaywith accidental
firings. Most of the time it was from wearing your
legs out trying to fire.

257 01 31 20 CDR What effects do the 1,m_ilical and suit combination

have on the assigned maneuvers? I didn't see much
today. This new 1,mbilical is a winner. If it had
c.--._,it'd be good. Suggest that you send Jerry up
here and have him split up another one, save the
comm, and you're in business.

257 01 31 33 CDR Doh't save all those wires. Get rid of the bad ones;
Just save the good ones and tie off the bad ones.
He can do it and it won't bother the electrical
system.

257 01 31 46 CDR Could effects of suit be distinguished from those

of 1,mhilical? We discussed it; namely, no ,_hilical
effects. So any problem could be suit or vehicle.

257 01 31 56 CDR Could target area be seen adequately for maneuvering?

Definitely not! You could see it, but then you had
to m,_euver to a different position to go for it;
also, you were constantly pitching down. And you
kept wondering if you pitched down whether you were
 2434

going to hit something or not. You don't know how

far this maneuvering unit extends below your feet,
so you don't know if you're getting ready to rub
against something. You're - you're blind and it's
not good.

CDR Was head mobility within helmpt adequate for fields

of view? Head mobility was the same it always is -
field. Don't blame it on the helmet. Problem is
the position of you in the vehicle and the vehicle
extending way down below your feet.

257 01 32 30 CDR For SOP ops, is the absence of the LSU influence
noticeable? No, you got more mass, so you maneuver
slower, which is nice. More crosscoupling; I noticed
more cross - No, I take that back. I noticed the
s--_ amount of crosscoupllng. Quite a bit of
crosscoupling in suited operation.

257 01 32 49 CDR For SOP ops, does suit have significant effects on
task performance? S-me as it does for _m_ilical ops.

257 01 32 56 CDR Yes, it does, and the main effect is you're helpless. _
You're hanging out on the front of this thing, and
you Just are helpless as can be. Now I think the
thing that brought the message home to me is real-
izing for the first t_me that I don't ever go any-
where in this thing. Somebody puts me somewhere,
and then I meke a maneuver and then they put me
back. And it's - it's - it's like a baby, when
you're teaching him to w_Ik. You hold him almost
to the - to the divan and let him walk three steps
and they fall and get it. Or you're teaching some-
body to swim and you get them pointed towards the
shore and you give them a shove and they do five
strokes and catch the bank. That's what you're
doing in this thing. You can't even leave the
docking station and fly to the middle of the vehicle
and stop.

257 O1 33 40 CDR You got to have somebody move you around. And they-
it's Just noticeable in that suit. You're helpless.
You're standing there with no comm. You're standing
there - You can't move around worth a darn, and you
don't know what's going on the rest of the world.
You're hanging onto something or you're Just floating.
You're saying "Hope I b_,mp into something soon" or
"I wish somebody'd come get me, I can't go anywhere
from here. I can't torque myself too well. The
_ 2435

c.g. 's too low and I'm not strong enough."

CDR Was suit training adequate for these maneuvers? No

suit training's adequate for those maneuvers. They're
Just - The system is bad. The system being the
vehicle itself, T20 [sic].

257 01 34 18 CDR It Just doesn't have it. Let's face the facts.
That many degrees of freedom is bad. Controlling
thin_s with your suit? Unsat. The whole thing is -
is no good. Si_,l ation is - is bad. My rating
on this thing is i0, both inside and outside.

257 01 3_ 36 CDR Was the system controllable? No. Why wasn't it

controllable? Because you can't go anywhere. Once
you get there, you can't get back. You can go pitch
up and pitch down.

CDR Was performance adequate? No. None of it was, no.

It was all no. You can't - you can't do anything.
The only reason it works unsuited is when you get
to a box, you can crawl around on the box and push
_ off, stabilize yourself. When you get in your
suit, you can't do that any more. And I was even
using IVA gloves. I give this a complete i0.

257 01 35 08 CDR Co-,_ent on the expected and unexpected differences

between suited TO20 operations in the OWS, the air
bearing and six degrees in the following areas:
Task performance. Much harder here. Why?

257 Ol 35 19 CDR You're hanging out in the breeze. You got six degrees.
Every time you put in a - a thrust, it's not perfect
and you can't correct it. If you don't go - head
for the target, you're off in either forwards,
backwards, left, or right. You have no way to cor-
rect it. Now I got where I could spin in towards
the target.

257 01 35 35 CDR In other words, I'd see myself going up, so I'd
rotate up and then dive for it. That's not a pro-
cedure. This is not a precision machine. We don't
want to fly something in space that's like this.
This is not a precision operation; 509 is a preci-
sion operation. You can go somewhere, stop, come
home. You can fly precision. There's no precision
to this, none. You can't even st_ in one spot.
It's that simple. Air hearing? You can. You only
2_36

got two degrees to worry about. You still can't

stay in one spot. Once you get moving, you're
going to keep moving until you hit something. You
can't stop there, except for friction.

257 01 36 12 CDR Six degrees. Should have used this six degrees up
at - at Martin. We could have found out that it
Just didn't work. That was a big mistake not using
it up there. We'd have found out these problems
then. That visual simulator: My opinion of it
is it's got some things in there somewhere that damp
out any small rates or let your rates go to zero.

257 01 36 31 CDR So if you got some slight rates built up laterally,

it tends to damp them out. Now I - I'm sure that
that isn't in there on purpose. I'm sure it's Just
there to take out the - the bad parts of the sim-
ulation, because it keeps from building up drifts.
It tends to damp out small numbers or something.
That's what gets you here; small drift left and
right Just build up, and that's it. You never
sesm to see them on that six degrees. I don't
know. Probably work load much higher here for
the reasons discussed.

257 01 37 01 CDR Vehicle characteristics: Vehicle characteristics,

it - you - when you hit the foot control, it goes
pretty good. You have crosscoupling; you can
correct that. But you Just can't do anything
with it. It's Just a - Like the ergometer down-
stairs, it doesn't go anywhere. You can get out
the bike and exercise; it doesn't go anywhere.

257 01 B7 22 CDR Piloting cues: They're okay. Can't see over the
front end. Can't see where you're going too well.
When you pitch down to get something, you hope
your feet don't hit something, If._hey did and
.... you started bouncing off, you'd be gone because
•you're going to head off in another direction and
you can't stop yourself. Piloting cues, the rest
is on disorientation. The suit Just makes you
realize how "out-to-lunch" you are on top of the
vehicle, that's all. Discuss the relative impor-
tance of the following simulation artifacts:
Degrees of freedom, i00 percent problem. You
should never fly something like this without
six degrees of some - or a similar vehicle, than
something like this. You could fly 509. What
 2437

you should do is develop the vehicle on a

six degree until it's so simple that you don't
have to have a simulator, and then you fly it
that way.

257 01 38 l_ CDR If it's not that simple, you shouldn't be flying

it. Audiovisual cue - cues: The only reason
you'd want a simulator later is for failures.
So maybe you'd want the six degree for development
and you take the gu_, you let him fly it for a
while on the six degree, then you give him
failures, and that's it.

257 01 38 31 CDR Now here you don't have the failure problem, but
in real world operations you would have to account
for them. Audiovisual cues. Development on
six degrees by the way. Audiovisual cues: same
thing, no audio. The noise up there is good;
there's nothing there. Gravity vector: It's a
problem, but you could surmount it - not big.
It's in degrees of freedom.

257 01 38 52 CDR Body suspension; no co-_ent. Operating envelope;

ought to be realistic. Extraneous noice; no
co,,n - nothing. EVA eval: Would you feel con-
fident in flying an operational system employing
the major features of the EA - FMEA - EVA at all?

257 01 39 09 CDR Definitely not. I give a i0, which means con -

noncontrollable. I would say that this vehicle
right here is unacceptable for EVA operations.
I feel it's unacceptable in size. Not from
safety, but you Just can't do anythlngwith it.
Has no operational use at the moment. Unless it
had six degrees, I don't think it would. Then
you'd have to go back to the foot control. No
reason to have foot control. How about a foot-
controlled automobile? I mean steering. How
about a foot-controlled airplane steering? You
wouldn't want to fly those would you? Your life's
more on the line on this thing than it would be
in flying a car - driving a car or an airplane
with your feet. That's what people don't
remember.

257 01 &_ 03 "CDR Okay, CDR back again; let's keep going. Would
you feel confident in flying untethered? Nol

Or tethered? No. Do you feel that the T020

2438

thruster placement and foot-control logic would

be acceptable for an EVA situation? No. What
sort of EVA task do you feel this type of maneu-
vering unit could be used for? None. What
modification do you think should be made to the
maneuvering unit to make it adapt for a wider
variety of EVA tasks? Put six degrees of freedom
on there and give it hand controls.

257 01 44 32 CDR What modification should be m_le to the PGA to

adapt it for use with the foot controlled maneu-
veringunit? None. Combining the total T20/509
experience, including training, discuss the
following features for an advanced operational
system and the appropriate mission requirements
intended for specif - Equipment location: I
think it'should be very simple and on your back.
It's out of the way.

257 01 44 57 CDR It should have controls that you can put down out
of the way. I'm not sure that it shouldn't
have a single controller, sort of on a flexible
unit that you can hold in your hand in front of
you and fly, both rota - both translation and
rotation. Then whenever you get near an object,
you take that and Just fold it back. The arms
of the 509 are - are too big and heavy, but I'm
not sure you couldn't ma_e thin ones that way.
So it should be easy to doff easily and don easily
by one man so that he can do it well. Accessi-
bility to work area should - by moving it out
of the way, is accessible. Interfacing suit
with life support syst_m_: I would make - defi-
nitely have the life supporting system as part of
the EMU on the back and have no umbilical or
anything like that, so it's a free unit. In
other words, you've got your pressure control
system, your oxygen, and your flying unit.
You Just strap it on, plug it into your suit,
and go.

257 01 45 54 CDR Controller combination: Hand, foot, or combina-

tion. All hand; no foot, no reason. I can think
of no reason to have them on your feet. This
logic of - this discussion of - get your hands
free. Put one in your hands that you can put
down, or leave one up there. I would rather have
 2_,39

one in my way up there aud work up over my head,

than I would have it down on my feet and work in
front of me. No.

257 01 46 19 CDR Number of control axes: Six; no less. Control

logic: Like 509 and - But I think you could
do away with everything but DIRECT. That simple.
Control and stabilization mode. I'd say DIRECT
the whole way. If it got tough, you could have
RATE GYRO or CMG, but I don't think you need it.
I think what you want to do is make it simple
so the only failure you could have is a stuck
thruster on or off, no rate problem, and then
have circuit breakers that can isolate those
things along with a handle you rotate to cut it
out.

257 Ol 46 5_ CDR In other words, you - Just have a system that

has six degrees of freedom and has isolatable
things when they go hardover or fire accidentally
and then you could use - translate sideways to
get to the target or something like that. And
that would be your so-calledredundancy. Have
two bottles and two sets of lines or something,
and then forget the rest. Because I think you
got to make it almost like a little vehicle,
unless you had two of them, where one guy could
come rescue you. Then you could simplify it
perhaps a little bit, but you still couldn't
simplify it too much.

257 Ol _7 26 CDH You need circuit breakers for each thruster.

You need simpler - a simple system. No possi-
bility of - of RATE GYRO problem. Control re-
sponses: The ones for 509 are good; we discussed
that. Thruster locations, use of unbalanced
thrusters: Unbalanced thruster, no. Thruster
loca- cation, - I think you could have unbalanced
thrusters as long as you had six degrees of
freedom and - and a hand controller. Take that
back. System reference axis orientation - in
front of you. That's the place you want to go;
Just like 509.

257 01 _7 58 CDR Range capabilities: I don't know. As far as you

can get. I - You have to know the task. Obvi-
ously, as far as you can get. Use of tethers

and tmbilicals: Not use them at all. They Just

24.b,0

get in your way. They'd hinder you. They would -

Anything you can get with a tether, you can Just
Jump over there. I - there's - You throw me a
200-foot tether, and I'll Jump the 200 feet. The
problem is when you're trying to fly around and
inspect and do things like that. I'd get rid
of the tether definitely, lO0 percent.

257 Ol _8 28 CDR Need for additonal flight - we wouldn't want to

tether us on an airplane. We didn't have them
on the lunar surface. Need for additional flight
instruments, optical, aids, audio cues: No, I
think everything's okay. Don't - save - save
away, expense. System redundancy and backup.
If you had six degrees of freedom and the ability
to turn off any thruster, you'd have it.

257 O1 48 50 CDR On the basis of your experience with the ground-

based simulation techniques, air bearing and all
that other, discuss the relative importance of
each of the following simulation factors as
applied to research and development of maneu-
vering systems and to training of operational
crews. I answered it, but I'll answer it again.
Degrees of freedom. Okay. You got to have it,
Just like the real one. You can't train on less
because you're going to get kidded, and you're
not going to be able to fly. I think the one
thing mauy people forget is you got your life
on the line. When you're sitting down on air-
bearing in a suit, it's Just an interesting
exercise.

257 Ol 49 27 CDR When you're sitting in a big bubble with a thing,

it's kind of fun. You get on a suit and float
around up here in zero g and you've been looking
out the window a couple of times, and you find
out that the only way you're going to get back
home is to get back in the co-,_and module, then
it takes on a different perspective. The minute
you start to realize that you've got to come home
with that thing, and you can't Just say go into
hold or get out and wa1_ across the air-bearing
floor, then it takes on a whole new meaning, and
these failures take on a meaning. You start
saying, "Well, what if one of them sticks on?"

257 O1 49 56 CDR Nobody cared about that on the air bearing.

 Nobody even asked the question. Here you say to
yourself before you go out, "What if n,,mber 2
thruster sticks on? What am I going to do? Is
that going to - Am I going to die then and that's
the end? I'm betting my whole life on that
thruster down there?" Can't have it. That's
why I don't think you want a foot controlled
maneuvering unit. You want to bet your life
on your feet? Your hands are the precision
inst_,w_nts of your body.

257 01 50 20 CDR Size of mameuvering envelope. By the w_7, you

need that, specially need it for development.
Once you develop it, it's simple enough. You
need probably a six to train on, although we got
Owen to fly it and he really didn't need it. I
haven't made up my mind on that. Would be nice
to have it because you got to learn all these
failures. Size of maneuvering envelope: Large
as possible. Operating characteristics: Just
like the real one. Pro - proprioeeptive cues,
motion: Is that motion cues? Proprioceptive
_ cues; I don't know what that one is. Oh, "feel"
cues. They got "motion."

SPT ... proprioceptors ...

257 01 51 06 CDR Proprioceptors - I Just got a word from a - a

_au that knows more, and he says proprioceptors
are his body. I think you can dow/thout them.
Visual cues; you got to have them. But I don't
think they have to be like the real world.

257 Ol 51 18 CDR You can learn to fly this thing in anything, in

a - in a square room with Just X's on the wall.
Gravity vector cues: Don't need. Audio cues:
Probably ought to have them. Flight hardware
operating features, character - It ought to be
exactly like it, in development, and exactly
like it, in operational, particularly. Body
motion effects due to body member - forget it.
Lost in the noise.

257 O1 51 _3 CDR Body restraint system: Exactly like it. Al-

though - I take it back. Onsimulatioas, I don't
know if you really do. You need to have your - I
think you do need to have your - In a moving
base, you do. In a nonmoving base, you don't.
2_42 _'

But I think you got to have moving base simulators

to learn to fly these things. Let's face the
facts. You're moving around. A nonmoving base
simulator is not acceptable in this business.
For anymore - It is in command module, because -
Well, it would be hard for us to say that it
wasn't if it was acceptable in command module.
I take it back; maybe the nonmoving base is
acceptable. I don't know the answer to that one.
I'llhave to think about it.

257 01 52 25 CDR Prior experience and psychological motivation:

Prior - You should build for - Definitely though,
for some, it doesn't take any prior experience.
There's nobody in this business that is motivated
that - forget it. Pressure suit effects: You
(laughter) I put them in 100 percent. That's
the way you got to design to begin with. Anything
else is Just wish-wash. Discuss the basic _lig_It
maneuvers that could be treated as standard tasks
for research. We've discussed it. I have no
new insights at the moment.

257 01 52 55 CDR Okay, I've answered the questionnaire. What I'd

like to say is - in closing, is having been up
here, flown this thing a number of times, flown
509, looked out the window a lot, going EVA
in - we've been on the lunar surface, I've thought
about this command module we've got out here with
a couple of failed quads and seen ourselves swirl-
ing around the Earth at 18,000miles an hour,
270 miles up - is you have got to have the best
system you can build, because you're hanging
your neck on that system and working it with
your feet. I don't want to fly the command
module with mF feet. And I don't want to fly a
maneuvering unit with my feet either.

257 01 53 38 CDR CDR out.

TIME SKIP

257 02 15 44 PLT Ok8_, space fans, this is Jack on channel A

debriefing the last ATMrunwhich started at
01:12. I got the Nu Z update; I did the JOP 6.
 2443

Ca_e off Just like you wanted. And one thing,

however, that did happen that was not like you
wanted was the 56 PATROL, NORMALhung up on
FILTER 2. So I pressed on and got it at the
end of the orbit. I went on and did the JOP 12
Dog for 82B, and the JOP 12F for 55. In that
JOP 12F, I left off the PATROL, NORMAL for 56
in order to save a llttle film. And when that
was complete, I went back to Sun center and did
the PATROL, NORMAL that got itself hung up at
the beginning of the rev.

257 02 16 38 PLT So I thought that that PATROL, NORMAL would

suffice for the one that I decided to leave off
for them on building block 26, because I wanted
to save them a little film. The beauty is powered
down now for your operations, and I've got some
frame counts for you. H-ALPHA was 5191; 56, 561;
82A, 23; 82B, 143; 52 is 1734; and 5_ i_ 1482.
I took m_ daily look at the corona here and made
a little sketch of it.

257 02 17 23 PLT And let's see what I noticed here. Looks like
to me it hasn't changed too much on the east
limb. The west limb, it hasn't changed a heck
of a lot either. The shape has changed a little
bit, but the general intensity appears to be
about the same. And some of the strea_rs aren't
quite as well defined as they were yesterday,
but in effect, it's about the same thing there
that was there yesterday. So no - nothing unusual
to report from this old sketch, and you probably
got all the information you want on that, anyway.
So that concludes the debriefing for tonight,
and we'll look forward to working with you again,
tomorrow.

CDR Weather there was good. The ones of Italy this

morning - The wake-up call was at 11:04. I went
to the window. We Just were whistling over Italy.
So we missed those.

257 12 46 i0 CDR CDR, out.

257 13 02 01 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A,

debriefing the first A_4 run of the day, which
began at 12:05. Gave you the Nu Z update and the
VTR.

257 13 02 12 PLT I ran off a JOP 6. And then I ran off a JOP 2 Delta
on active region 19. Instead of ACTIVE i, LONG,
S056 got a FILTER i, 3, 5, SHORT. I then proceeded
into the second JOP 2 Delta, and got the 40-second
exposure in 82B. But we were getting too close
_ 2445

to sunset to do much of anything eise. So that

part of the - the rev is pretty much incomplete.

257 13 02 49 PLT There's really not any good region to point at

anyway. I could only find one good, bright active
area - which appeared to be bright enough to get
some data on, in active region 19 since it's gone
over the limb. So we did get the one JOP 2 Delta,
and the second one we got, I pointed at another
place that looked like it was a possible area
enhancement.

257 13 03 14 PLT However, I'm not sure that it was as good as the
first one. And that's the one that we got the
40-second 82B exposure on and ran out of time.
And I doubt that we could have done much better
anyway. So with that, we'll pick up with the 1340
rev, and that completes the debriefing for this
one.

257 13 03 36 PLT Thank you.

257 13 05 43 PLT One more comment for the A_4 guys, in touring
around the Sun and observing a little bit, I
noticed a couple of prominences that were not
reported on the solar activity pads.

257 13 05 54 PLT They're both over on the west limb, apparently

associated with the active regions and filaments
going around that way. But they're in the vicin-
ity of 800 and ll0 degrees.

257 13 09 50 PLT Hello, space fans. This is Jack on channel A.

The subject is T002-2, star-to-Moore sightings.
This information goes to Bob Randle over at Ames
Research Center and probably Bob Nute over there
in building 4 would like to have it, too.

257 13 l0 12 PLT The temperature of the sextant beginning this

session is 70 degrees. Diopters are minus 1.25.
And we got to pick old Fomalhaut there. And run
him over to the Moon. Tell you what, we've got a
lot of angles set in here already, so we'll get
the zero bias at the end of the session, if you
don't mind. Moon's getting way over there. We're
going to put the Moon in the upper optical path
because of the convenience it affords in holding
the sextant. And there it is. And I believeI
2446

got my little friend Fomalhaut picked out, also;

yes, I do. We have both filters in the opt - upper
optical path. And Fomalbaut will go on the limb
of the Moon the furthest away from it, because the
near limb is being - the near limb is in the
darkness. Okay, we got them in there. Standby
for start. Okay, here we go.

257 13 12 _0 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Carnarvon and

Honeysuckle for 14 minutes.

PLT Starting to look at the star over there.

CDR Okay, Bruce.

CC And, Skylab, we would like you to stay off the DAS

for a moment so that we may enable momentum dump.
And also we'd like you to cn-_and the STAR TRACKER
SHUTTER CLOSED again. It doesn't seem to have
closed. _e Nu z you've got in. Over.

257 1B 1B 08 CDR Okay, Just went CLOSED and you're right, the star
inAUTO. _

257 iB iB 22 PLT I remember we closed that thing, A1.

CDR Sometimes those things'll close auto before you

close because of the - you know, the computers, and
they'll open up on auto. And I bet that's what
happened.

PLT I bet it did too.

257 1B 1B 56 PLT MARK. Wait a minute; that mark sure - no good

because I hit the knob with my thumb after it
came off. Better start again.

257 13 22 38 PLT MARK. 49.760. Okay, that's it. Let's do same

zero bias sightings. That was Fomalhaut to the
limb of the Moon which is the furthest away from it.

257 13 24 02 PLT Okay, let's go zero bias. Have to take the filters
out. Come see. There we go. There's - F_m_Shaut's
there now.

257 13 24 23 PLT MARK. 0.004.

257 13 24 50 PLT There's number 2, 0.003. Don't know what it is

about that windowprotector. I left - I leave it
drifting here in wardroom. It's always coming and
nudging me. It's kind of like having a horse. He
don't work any; he's always coming around sticking
his nose in your back.

257 13 25 23 PLT Here's number 3, 0.004. Guess this is the friendly

window.

257 13 25 32 CC Skylab, this is Houston; 1 minute and 20 seconds

through Merritt Island at 14:00 Z. Out,

257 13 25 52 PLT One higher - number 4, 0.004.

257 13 26 05 PLT And there's the final one. 0.004. Okay, that
ends T002-2 for this session. The temperature of
the sextant is 74 degrees. Now I notice that - I
don't know what session number that is any more;
I've lost track, up to a point. But I notice that
we have another T002-2 scheduled in the next pass.

257 13 26 33 PLT And it seems to me that - since these two sessions

are so close together, that it would not be inap-
propriate to - If we're running short on T002-2's,
to count some of those sessions where I made the
double set of marks as two sessions. And so with
that comment, why that ends the T002-2 for this
session, and we'll be back in another hour, hour
and a half to do scme more. And this information,
as I said, goes to Bob Randle and Bob Nute.

257 13 27 16 PLT Thank you very much.

SKIP

257 14 30 07 CDR For the ATM science room. This is the CDR. Jack
Just finished the - I've Just finished the part
that's been finished for 13:48 ATM operations.
We did shopping llst item 17 with a STANDARD. Then
we pressed on from there and started doing item 19.
And it came off real well. One thing I did notice
is I attempted to set it on minus 4 for the 82B
and it was 4 and it was sometimes flipping between
4 and 5. After I locked it and started about the
second step of 19 went to zero and decided it
wouldn't be on pointing more than it'd be on
minus 5, we then made that out minus 1. I don't
think it makes any difference, essentially we were
kind of stuck then because we can't -

257 14 30 59 CDR Excuse me, I've got to go. Be right -

257 14 32 12 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A. The

subject once again is T002-2, star-to-Moon sight-
ings, on FomA1baut to the limb of the Moon, which
is the furthest away from Fomalhaut. First thing
 2449

we got to do is get some zero bias settings. So

we're going to set about to do that, right now.
We'll do that on our old buddy Fomalhaut. By the
way, the temperature of the sextant is 72 degrees - -

CDR ... stars ...

PLT - - and diopters are a minus 1.25.

CDR ... right on down to Almost zero ....

257 14 33 05 PLT Okay, here we go. Nope, Just a minute, not ready.
Thought I was ready, but l'm not. One minor item
to take care of here. Get me a little - flashlight.

PLT And now I'm ready to go.

257 14 33 43 PLT Window cover is off. I don't like the focus of

that star. Let me fool with the focus here.

257 14 35 ll PLT Change the diopter setting a little bit, maybe.

-_- PLT Okay, let's make the diopters aminus 0.75, instead
of a minus 1.25 for a while and see if that works
better. Okay.

257 14 35 41 PLT Okay, zero bias settings are being done now and
first one is 0.004.

257 14 36 13 PLT There's another one, 0.002, FomA1_aut again being

the subject of our zero bias.

257 14 36 32 PLT Number 3 is 0.003.

PLT Boy, I don't llke the diopter setting. That's

better. I cranked it back up to a minus 1.25, as
it turns out. So we're there now for four or
five settings. Star seems to be get - coming
elongated. Makes a difference where you put your
eye on the reticle too, I noticed, as to how round
or how oblong the star is. Your eye on the eye-
piece is what I mean. Put your eye around the
eyepiece and apparently the star changes a little
bit.

257 14 37 37 PLT Okay, that's 0.005, and the fifth one is coming up.

PLT And that is 0.004. Okay, let me fool around, I'm

2450 _"

moving my eye a little bit. Sure enough. I have

my eye right in the center of the eyepiece, I get
the sharpest, most distinct image of the star. It
appears sort of round. Move my eye off to the left,
it becomes elongated in the left/right direction.
I move my eye over to the right, it tends to do
the same thing, gets an elongation in the left/
right direction. See, if I move it to the left,
it gets elongated from i0 o'clock to 4 o'clock.
I move it to my - the right, it gets elongated
from 8 o'clock until 2 o'clock. I move my eye up,
it gets elongated from 12 to 6. I move my eye
down, same deal, 12 to 6. l'm sure that the opti-
cai people can explain that all very readily. But
it's interesting little point for use - future use
of the sextant. I noticed that, before I had com-
pensated by adjusting the diopters, on occasion -
maybe once. But - I never noticed it to be a
function of my eye position in the eyepiece.

257 14 39 39 PLT I've always apparently had it pretty well centered,

because I've never experienced that problem except
uponinfrequent occasions.

SPT ...

CDR That's Just to let you know.

257 14 40 15 PLT (Laughter) Okay, we're cranking it about 50 de-

grees here. We're going to put Fomalhaut on the
limb of the Moon, which is the furthest aw_y from
Fomalhaut. The near limb is showing signs of
terminator. We'll put the upper optical path on
the Moon; put both filters in here. Low on optical
path on Fomalhaut. And if the Moon is still -
Oh, there it is. It's right over there. Sure
is. It's sure getting in the left side of the
window, though, I have to say that. I don't know
how many more days we can do this. Come on Moon,
I know you're there.

SPT ...

257 14 41 14 PLT There it is; I got the Moon. I got FomaShaut both
with the same eyeball, at Just about 50 degrees.

TIME SKIP

257 16 20 33 SPT Okay, this is the SPT recording on channel A. And

what we're going to do is Just parallel the video
track, parallel on channel A which means it should
be recorded on a video track of - the VTR. We're
going to have a little demonstration of a couple
items down here, and - this will give a repeat of
the voice track.

SPT Okay, A1, could you turn the VTR on, please, and -
Just give me a call when it's on? Thank you. _

257 16 21 40 SPT What we'd like to do is demonstrate the performance

of what's called a Wilberforce pendulum. Now this
is a Wilberforce pendulum named after the designer,
As I understand it, of this little device. And what
it's intended to do is the following: It's intended
to oscillate back and forth initially like this,
Just like any compressed spring would oscillate, back
on Earth, if you should do it that way. But then
in addition, it has another little peculiarity. It
has these masses at each end, and the oscillation
back and forth is intended to excite it - an
oscillation like this, back and forth along the
long axis. And so - before we launched in Skylab,
we were able to demonstrate that this little pendulum
in my hand would initially set up an oscillation
back and forth, and then couple into an oscillation
along the axis the way I'm doing here. It doesn't
seem to want to behave quite like that in zero g,
and so we will examine a little bit Just the way it
does behave. First of all, what I'll try to do is
to get it centered up here for you, and compress the -
the spring very slightly, and then release it.
We'll Just see what sort of oscillation is set up.
With this small oscillation - well, even that one's
pretty good size. Let me try it again. I may have
 245B

to try those oscillations several times in order to

get a good one for demonstration purposes. Okay,
now, there's a fairly small oscillation back and
forth. But you see very shortly it couples into
another kind of oscillation as well - one that -
we never have observed back on Earth, because of
the gravitational field. So I'ii try that one more
time. Now, this time I'ii compress the spring Just
a little bit more fully, so we'll watch what happens
when I release it. I don't mean that the spring
oscillates back and forth, but it develops that
nodding oscillation as well. I don't know whether
you'd call that a form of a modern _R_ce or perhaps
it's a dance back in the 1920's. At any rate, it's
not the sort of oscillation that we observed back
on Earth.

257 16 2_ 17 SPT Now I expect the reason that this isn't observed on
Earth is because the gravitational field tends to
prevent this sort of nodding oscillation back and
forth. It damps that out, so we Just don't see this.

257 16 25 13 SPT There was a good example of one that started out in
a nearly longitudinal oscillation, and after three
or four cycles, it couples into the nodding motion.
Now they can even become a little more - erratic
than these we've observed so far. In addition, I
provide Just a little bit of twist, like about a
half a rotation to that spring and then release it
well. The nodding is even more violent, the oscil-
lation is even more - perplexing.

257 16 26 _l SPT Let's go back and try Just one small simple one as
best as we can. One other thing we do is to stabi-
lize one end of it_ We Just hold in our hand; one
end has compressed the other. We can get a little
bit better oscillation, if that's what we want, Just
like a spring would do back on Earth. Maybe that's
not what we want, since this looks pretty much like
what we would get at home. There is some tendency
now to couple a little bit into the axial oscil-
lation, where the - weight on the end rotates. Now,
I'll also give a little twist in addition to that.
You can see that the oscillations are pretty nearly
uncoupled now. We're getting the axial oscillations,
as well as the longitudinal oscillations, more or
less independently of each other.
257 16 28 17 SPT You notice these little thumbscrews on the end of
each of these two plates; they're intended to change
the inertia of the little end plates such that the
coupling is a max/mum. Now, it's possible that this -
that these thumbscrews are not adjusted quite right.
But it's a - very time-consuming Job to get all of
them adjusted Just the right length to m_ximize this
coupling. And it's quite possible that had I had -
should I have the time to - to spend more time
experimenting with this, I could get that adjusted
more closely so that the axial and longitudinal
oscillations are more closely coupled.

257 16 29 13 SPT So the nodding is not as apparent when l'm holding

one end, as it is when l'm holding - as when both
ends are free floating. The reason for that's not
entirely clear to me either. Maybe Bob Parker can
do a little work on it, figure out why, on different
bouna_y conditions; namely, one end held or both
ends free, the form of the oscillation is - so much
different.

257 16 29 57 SPT AS] right, we'll stop this for now and - tether our
friend, the Wilberforce pendulum, back to the table
with our little piece of gray tape. Never get along
in the space program without that gray tape. And
I'd like to show you one more thing here, for a
moment. You'll remember that we took up a number
of fish eggs with us, that had yet to be hatched at
the time we launched. And several weeks ago, we
reported that - we had the first egg hatch. And we
have a number of small little mu_michog minnows on
board as a matter of fact. And I'll - show a few
eggs that haven't hatched. There's an egg, for
ex_ple, that's still got a fish inside that we
expect most any day now might be out swimming around.
Last count here we had about 15 of these hatched.
I'll go find a couple more for you.

257 16 S1 26 SPT There, you see them swlmm_ng around a bit.

CC Skylab, Houston. Just 1 minute to LOS at Carnarvon.

Next station contact in 21 minutes ...

SPT The size of my finger here - gives an idea of the

size of the minnows. Now these little fish do not
exhibit the same sort of behavior pattern that the -
larger little minnows did that were brought up ini- '_"
 245_

tially. We had the two larger minnows as well as

some 30 or h0 eggs. The two larger minnows, when
they got to zero g, and for the rest of their life-
time of - about 3 or 4 weeks continually, very fre-
quently, exhibited this pattern of flying outside
loops. They would - swim in - circles with their
upper fin outside of the circle. In other words,
sort of pitching over towards their - nose and
apparently sort of compensating for the lack of
gravity. Whereas these little fellows, after
hatching, I have never noticed them to swim in
those loops. They seem to have been born into
zero g and find it very comfortable. As a matter
of fact, this little package that l've got is so
small that - I think we may very well be able to
find some little nook in the cnmm,nd module to
bring it back home in.

257 16 33 24 SPT This is the close-up lens on our television camera

that l'm using. And these little eggs are only -
oh, 2 or 3 millimeters in size, as perhaps you can
tell by the size of my finger. It isn't in very good
focus but you can tell it's sm_!l with respectto
my thumb - fingernail. And to get these little
fellows to move, I think we may have to shake the
package a little bit. Even then that doesn't always
disturb them. They're used to this sort of activity.
There's a little, little egg that should be hatching
here before long.

257 16 34 4B SPT See those eyes in there. That's the fish head that
you can see right inside the - egg, and - the two
black dots are the fish's eye with his back bone
down the middle. As a matter of fact, there's
another little minnow right beside him there that's
already hatched. See the similarity. Now there's
a couple of more eggs down beneath these two minnows,
and again - you can see the two dark eyes that are
the eyes of the fish, and sometimes you can see the
tail. You can also see - little portions of the
circulation system, frequently, inside the eggs
before they're hatched. The little capsule in which
the fish are located is very clear and you can normal-
ly see right through it. Well, these are the other
living fellows, along with our spiders that we have
here in Skylab. And - at the moment, these little
fellows take up so - little room that I think there's
2456

a good chance we'll be able to bring them back home

with us in a few days when we return to Earth.

257 16 36 43 SPT And that'll be all for our television show for this
afternoon.

257 16 37 25 CDR This is the CDR. D-6 for EREP, 4B percent; D-6,
43percent. I'm reporting that to you late because -
we were using the channel A for something else.
CDR out.

257 16 45 14 CDR This is the CDR and I'm debriefing - late,

this A_pass. It was not possible to debrief
them because the cbA=nel A was being used.
I've already mentioned that the 13:40 pass on
56 1 did a - Shopping list item 17 came off
as planned. Then I went to shopping list
item 19 and we had a sort of a - eruptive
prominence; not a prominence, but some
sort of surge on the - at the limb of the
Sun. Turned out I was pointed right between
the two limbs, the two edges of the surge
which looked like they were the foundation of
about i0 seconds in height. I - No, not i0 seconds
in height; about - yes, about i0 seconds and about
i0 seconds in height ; two foundations of an arch
of which you could not see the middle part of the
arch. And - I wa - I was located right in the
middle. During this period - prior to this period
or during this period, here's what I did. At 56,
I went a 12-minute FILTER 3, a 13-minute FILTER 4,
and then when it looked like the surge was doing
pretty well, I gave it a - PATROL, NORMAL and a
PATROL - PATROL, SHORT burst and then a PATROL, .
NORMAL. Now, 82B, I ran Just like 19 called for,
shopping list item 19, with the exception of the
last exposure. I had to cut to 2 minutes and
30 seconds as opposed to 5 minutes because we
Just ran out of time.

257 16 46 56 CDR I went back and took a look at 52 and I did not
see a thing; however, I did the fringes [_] of it.
I gave 52 a STANDARD. Now that completes 13:40.
15:18: I looked at - the corona to begin with
and saw nothing there. Gave a STANDARD to 52 because
it was part of 6, step 2. Then I went and then
I did step 2C - JOP 2C, step 6. Came off Just as
planned. I - After sunset, the sequence - AUTO
'_ 2457

SEQUENCE ran out. I went to HOLD then NORMAL after

sunset. I got to thinking about it, so the next
day side, I went HOLD and NORMAL again. So it
should be sequenced correctly.

257 16 47 39 CDR CDR out.

257 16 48 i0 CDR This is CDR again. By the way, that information -

I Just put on the tape about the ATM runs goes
to the ATM science room. CDR out.

257 16 50 17 CDR Okay, this is CDR and I'm now going to read
you the - monitor readings starting with A-2 -
2-A, 60 percent, GO; 3-A, 86 percent, GO;
4-A, 71 percent, GO; 5-A, 66 percent, GO;
6-A - is 0 and that's GO. Back to 2. Here
we're going from B-2, 55 percent, GO; B-3,
77 percent, GO; B-4, 71percent, GO; B-5,
74 percent, GO; B-6, 50 percent, GO; B-7, 31 percent,
GO; B-8, about l, and GO; B-9 is 59 percent and
GO. Those all look good. Okay, let's go
to C-2. C-2 is 4_ percent, GO; C-3 is 89 percent,
_ GO because of the - attenuator. C-4 is 71 percent;
that's GO. C-5, 83 percent, GO; C-6, 47 percent,
GO; C-7, 52 percent, GO. And that's it for a
while. D-2, 86 percent, GO, because of attenuator.
D-3, 85 percent, GO, attenuator. That was D-3,

that, though. AUTO CAL. Excuse me, Jack. Trying
to write something down.

PLT Oh, yes.

257 17 07 B_ CDR 08:1_, we're waiting for. Where are we?

on in Just a second and then I'll be ready to fol-
low your sequence and tell you what I see.

PLT You got a problem for - with it, Bruce?

Here, Bruce ?

CDR Yes, the RA - RAD RECEIVER MAL light come on

when they were both on.

PLT Huh.

257 17 31 03 CDR Okay, the READY is on, and that's the end of it.
Okay, tell me what you'd like now. First thing
you want is R to STANDBY. Right?

CC Roger.

257 17 31 09 CDR R, STANDBY. Nothing new. Okay?

CC Okay. RAD and SCAT, both ON.

257 17 31 15 CDR Okay. S is ON; READY light. R is ON; READY

light. Okay.

CC Okay, record Alfa 9, Bravo 9, and Charlie 9.

CDR Are they going to - -

CC Tell me.

257 17 31 28 CDR Okay. Here they come. Alfa 9 is about 4 percent.

Bravo 9 is about 58 percent. Charlie 9 is about -
it's kind of hopping between plus 2 and minus -
full-scale low, which is about minus 2.

PLT And we got SCAT TRANSMI'I'I'_light on and - -

CDR RAD/SCAT GIMBAL - -

PLT - - ... after a while. •The RAD/SCAT GI_83AL is

intermittent.

CDR SCAT TRANSMITTER light ... stays on all the time.

CC I don_t - I don't understand the Charlie 9

reading. Give that one to me again, please.

257 17 32 O1 CDR Charlie 9, okay, now - now it's plus 3 percent.

Now, it's minus 2 percent. Now it's plus
3 percent. Now it's minus 2.

257 17 32 09 CC Hey, it only reads from 0 to i00, doesn't it?

CDR Okay - -

PLT Yes, but it's still off-scale low.

CDR - - Take your choice.

PLT Plus 3 to off-scale low, Bruce.

Anything else?

CC That 's it. EREP, STOP.

257 17 32 34 CDR EREP, STOP.

PLT Wonder why it's doing that?

PLT It didn't do that yesterday, did it?

CDR Nope. Didn't do it yesterday. Got some problem,

I guess. Do tape measurement. I think I can do
that after I ... - -

257 17 33 26 CC The general description of the S063 window for

cleanliness and the S063 filters for cleanliness,
irregularities in the surface, and pinholes. Over.

SPT Okay, you want that right now?

CC Oh, no, put it -put it on.

257 17 33 38 SPT Bruce, you're cutting in and out.

CC Okay, I may be getting cut off by V0X. I'm not

sure.

CDR Shouldn't be, it's not simplex.

CC Okay, how you reading now, Owen?

SPT Oh, I - I think you're right. I think it's

box 3-A got cut off upstairs so - why don't
we wait until Madrid or something like that.

257 17 34 01 SPT - - check on all - on the - filters, window;

and I' ll put that on channel - channel A.

257 17 34 09 CC Oh, okay.

TIME SKIP

257 17 57 26 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A wlth information

to the S063 PIs, for Wa]ly Teague and Jack Lew.

257 17 57 43 SPT First, I want to talk about the way the last run
went. I verified all switches, everything, a
couple of tlmes, and the setup was exactly right,
and the procedures went exactly right - two photos
on each of the sites at all the correct exposure
times. Everything was set on all of the cameras
correctly. The fr_s remaining was UV/visible,
respectively, 7 and 43. That was after taking
two visible photos Just to make sure that the
electronic camera was working correctly, which
 2477

it was. We took seven exposures on the UV and -

Let me see; i, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the visible. That
should have left me with zero - 38, I think. Let
me doublecheck that visible, i, 2, - No, we only
should have taken four visibles; that's right.
There were three twins and one single. So that
should have left me with 39 on the visible.

257 17 59 04 SPT And when I was through with the ops, the UV had
three, not zero, and the visible did show 39. So
when the visible was not - or the UV camera was
not driving properly - I think for the first
exposure or two it did, but then I began to hear
that the winding mechanism did not quite sound
right. Although there was a click and wind, it
looked too short; so my guess is it only wound
about a half a frame for the last few frames. It
might have been three or four frames, it only
wound halfway. Now that's my guess as to the
reason for ending up with three on the end.

257 17 59 43 SPT When I took the camera out, I've since gone over
and put the lens cap on, set it to about - a
sixtieth of a second and single, and triggered
the motor mec - correction - yes, single - trig-
gered the motor mechanism again, and this time
it drove. So it's possible that it's driving from
the camera body, but it's not driving from the
timer; I don't know. But after one test there,
it leaves me sitting on UVnumber 2 at this point.
I'll leave it there without driving any further
in case you want to try doing something with these
last two exposures.

257 18 O0 21 SPT But I'm at a complete loss to explain why it didn't

drive properly because I've reverified the setup
twice at the beginning and once at the end, and
it's all checked exactly right. So you may have
only - a half-frame movement on the UV camera for
this last operation. I'd llke to get some word
up from you as to what you, if you can guess what
the troub - problem might have been, and what you
want to do as far as proceeding is concerned.

257 18 00 50 SPT Now let me tell you - answer some of the infor-
mation or the questions about windows and filters.
The window's very clean. The whole window con-
tains possibly one - it does contain one small
sm - smudge, difficult to find. It's perhaps the
2478

edge of a fingerprint or the hands or something

llke that. It's difficult to detect it at all -
one small smudge. There are a few small specks
across the window; very llttle dust, so it's in
very good shape. The twin filters: I first
checked the UV and there are a few specks on the
filter. Looks like Just little specks maybe of
water or something that's fallen on it. Very
little dust, no prints, and no pinholes that I
could see by holding it up to the light. And the
same comments are true for the visible twin filters;
specks, little dust, no prints, no holes. On the
UV single filters - UV single filter; one small
smudge near the edge, a few specks scattered
around. It's in very good shape. So all the
filters are nearly llke they came up, at this
point. And certainly would not recommaud any
attempt to clean any of them. I don't imagine
that you would want to.

257 18 02 06 SPT Okay, that's the way it went again, this time. It
seems llke there's been something fishy, some small
problem on almost every one - run of these. Let
me know what you think about the latest difficulty
and what the opinions for proceeding are. SPT
with information to the S063 PIs, Wally Teague and
Jack Lew.

257 18 02 26 SPT End of message.

TIME SKIP

257 19 06 33 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. We're

just about finished with the 18:22 ATM run, and
I'd like to debrief that at this time for the
ATM PIs and planners. We're doing our EREP
alternate pass. I performed a Nu Z update at
18:18. At 18:22 I started with observing time
and I did the suggested shopping list item number 17
one time with ROLL, minus 5h00. I thought I had
enough time, so I did the 5-minute STANDARD MODE,
as opposed to the 2-minute FAST SCAN MODE. I did
follow this with shopping list item 16 with -
correction - shock - shopping list item 19, which
is now in progress on active region 19.
 2479

257 19 07 23 PLT And it's proceeding along as planned. We - So

far we've got all the exposures as requested, and
we'll be completed with the building block some
time before effective sunset.

257 19 Ii 25 SPT SPT on channel Awith anote for Dr. Dick Simmonds
over at LRL. Hello there, Dick. Haven't talked
to you for awhile. At the moment, I plan to
bring back this plastic bag full of little fish.
I probably have about 15 or 16 hatched, probably
an equal number that are still unhatched and maybe
one or two that have been eaten. And the little
ones seem to be living pretty well at this point.
And I thought you might be in a position to take
care of some of these little fish and maybe raise
of a - raise a bunch of descendants or something
like that when we bring these things back. So
the real purpose of my call is to see if you have
any suggestions or advice regarding their safe
return and if you do, why, might send it up to me
on the teleprinterwithin the next few days.

257 19 12 31 SPT This message goes to Dr. Dick S_mmonds at the LRL
from the SIF2. Out.

257 19 14 09 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. We're getting ready to do

some S019, so this information goes to Dr. Karl
Henize, Wally Teague; for two good people. Now
l'm going to be working this at the same time
Dr. 0wen Garriott, the SPT will be giving informa-
tion. So he'll be doing most of the tasking, and
I'Ii have to interrupt from time to time to give
you the information. The Nu Z is plus 2.1, Just as
the pad, so no correction. The first field we're
going to be doing at 19:17 is 315.7, 3.3. They're
set in. It's field 575, and it's going to be a
270, unwidened. It will be frame number 105.
I'ii give you the marks at the right time.

257 19 14 h8 CC Skylab, Houston .... seconds to LOS. Next

station in contact in 36 minutes ... Honeysuckle
at 19:51. Out.

SPT Okay, Bruce. We'll see you later. Thank you.

257 19 16 34 CDR Okay, we're about 30 seconds away, gentlemen, for

the first exposure. So stay loose and I'll give
it the mark. Then I'll be off the air for
270 seconds.
2480

PLT Hold that tight there.

SPT Put that ...

CDR Right now I'm picking up the new frame. I Just

received it. Now I'll give you a mark right on
time. Stand by.

257 19 17 06 CDR MARK. Beginning of 270-second exposure, field 105.

Okay, that's not true. Field 575, frame 105.
I'll be off the air for a while.

257 19 17 23 SET Excuse me. This is the SPT on channel A with a

message for the M172 PIs, including Dr. Bill
Thornton. Hello there, Big Bad Bill. Got more
numbers for you today than you'll ever be able to
add up. And I'm going to give them to you anyway
and hope they don't drown you with numbers. This
first set corresponds tothe BMMD urine calibration
in accordance with permanent general message
number 031, of which I presume you are the author,
so here's what wedid to do that. We got the
empty urine box with the lid and the UVMS plate
inserted in it and the two C-clamps from the
tool kit. Got those all mounted on the front part
of the box and here are the l0 numbers - excuse
me, five numbers that came out of your mass
measurement with that configuration.

257 19 18 30 SET I'll give you six digits and then the remainder,
only the last three. 2.92398, 362, 469, 367, 375.
That third number was pretty far out in left field.
I think it was probably an erroneous, spurious
reading. I'll give you one more m,mher in case
you want to insert it instead of that spurious
one. 398 was my sixth reading with that
configuration.

257 19 18 59 SPT Next, I added to the inside of the urine box and
then restuck the lid on top of it, put the plate
on top of that, and reclamped it to the front
of the box, Jack's urine bag for this morning,
which he claims contains 1980 milliliters of urine,
serial number 315. N,1_hers are 3.07312, 323,
291, 323, 356. That first number again was
3.07312. Okay, then I added my own urine bag,
which has in the vicinity of 1200 milliliters,
 2481

serial number 303. The mass now comes to 3.19099,

123, 166, 138, 139.

257 19 19 56 SPT And then the fourth sequence I added in Al's urine
bag, which he believes contains 820 milliliters of
urine, serial number 774. Mass is 3.28397, h01,
390, hll, 356. Then took the urine bags out and
have the box and the lid and the plate, C-clamped
with the four cal masses from the SMMD also under
the C-clamps. And I have the following readings:
2.9964h; 650, 632, 608, 621.

259 19 20 h3 SPT Now, along about the end of the third sequence, I
did notice one little thing that was still vibrating,
and that is the C-clamp has a little twist handle
on the end of it so you can get torque on the drive
screw. That little metal finger was oscillating
back and forth, slowly. After the third sequence,
I did pull it to one end twi - tightly so that it
was sort of wedged in and therefore didn't oscillate
back and forth. But, aside from that, I didn't
see any other oscillations,and don't know whether
you can tell any improvement in the scatter after
sequence number 3 or not.

257 19 21 22 SPT I didn't have any time to go back and repeat the
whole sequence because it takes more than an hour
the way it now stands. Now this was done on day 257,
start time of 12:30, temperature 7h degrees, and
the stop time was 13:20. So I hope that will tell
you whatever it was you were trying to answer,
Bill, about weighing urine bags in the BMMD. Now
while I'm at it, I'll go right ahead and give you
the 172 cal - soon as I find that.

CDR Stand by for a mark.

257 19 22 07 CDR MARK. You Just received a longer than a 270-second

exposure. You received a 2 - let's see, about
300-second exposure, unwidened on the first field.
Okay, let's try for the next one, 319.0.

SPT Okay, that last information now goes to S019 people,

Karl Henize.

CDR Point 0.

_-_ SPT And I'll get back to the Bill Thornton info as
soon as he's through with this mark.
2482

CDR Okay, 319.0, 1.00. This is going to be a 270 normal

one. Let me get a frame. I Just got it. Stand
by for a mark. Okay, Just stand by there a few
minutes. Field 580. It's going to be frame 106.

257 19 23 09 CDR MARK. 270, widened, in work.

257 19 23 13 SPT Okay, we'll go back now to the BMMD measurements

for Bill Thornton. This is the standard cal now.
SPT, day 257; starting 13:25; temperature, 74 degrees;
and I forgot to record the stop time, but it was
a little bit after - sunset, about an hour later.
Zero mass: 2.70061, 049, 084, 109, 065, i01, 149,
157, 155, 116. Now, on that set of i0 measurements,
I did notice that the shoulder harness straps were
vibrating slightly, not a lot but some small
vibration. For one thing, the Velcro doesn't
extend back far enough to properly tie him down,
but that's the way they went. Sequence number 2
is the above - plus the first food tray and two
strips of gray tape about 8 inches long, each. _-_
3.75131, 275, 271, 171, 252, 119, 201, 222, 235,
231.

257 19 24 35 SPT Third sequence, add a bat: 4.33229, 139, 221,

235, 408, 362, 308, 142, 319, 285. Add another
bat: 4.84660, 613, 613, 573, 662, 602, 531, 519,
469, 370. Add a food tray: 5.36368, 313, 130,
365, 315, 339, 495, 279, 325, 350. Add another
food tray: 5.83351, 108, 239, 304, 439, 229, 437,
423, 521, 537. Add the last food tray plus the
c]_mps, of course: 6.26556, 575, 485, 665, 497,
613, 673, 524, 547, 630.

257 19 26 03 SPT Taking them all off; go back to zero mass. Obtained
2.70038, 098, 044, 072, 067, 072, 079, 059, 064,
07_. And that completes the sequences. The food
trays were, of course placed aboard with the two
clamps and the batteries with those large spring
bungees. And that, I persume, will complete the
final calibration of the BMMD.

257 19 26 38 CDR Okay, S019 information. Stand by. Excuse me.

SPT Sure.

257 20 29 24 SPT This is the SPT on channel A with a message for

Wally Teague, Jack Lew, and the S063 PIs.

CC Skylab, this is Houston.

257 20 29 44 SPT The - what I want to do is to give a general sum-

mary of the sort of handheld auroral photograph
that I have accomplished in the last week or so.
I've given part of this to you on air-to-ground
but not a very complete s_mmary. B_ck on page 48,
which was mission day 40, we were using the
inferior film; CI103 was the cassette n_mber, and
had about - I had about three frames taken near
19:55 Zulu on mission day 40. On the next day,
which would be day 40 - 249, had about seven
frames taken at 03:05 to 03:10 Zulu.

257 20 30 35 SPT Those frame numbers are 35 through 42 and I was

using a 35-millimeter lens now, l- to 4-second
exposure. Couple of days later, on 250 - day -
day 251, took photographs between 20:53 and
20:55 Zulu, frame nnmbers 55 through 59 and
began same sort of time exposures, 1 to 4 seconds.
On day 252, about 17:00, got about three auroral
photo scenes - time exposures. And so on CI103,
there's going to be a - a few - a fair number of
auroral photos. And then I - then we inserted
CIl04. That whole roll is going to nearly be all
aurora.

257 20 31 27 SFT On day 252, frames i to i0, exposed between 20:05

and 20:10. Frames ll to 21 were exposed 21:35 to
45. Frame 22 was exposed on day 253, 00:45. In
other words, that same night. All of these were 1-
to 4-second exposures. And on day 254, frames 23
to 25, about - well - there's a little confusion
now on - on the - I think I didn't get that one.
Frames 24 and 25, about 15:35 Zulu; 26 to 32, 17:06
to 17:12 Zulu; frames 33 and 37, exposed18:37 to
2486

18:h5 Zulu; frames 38 to 45 were exposed between

21:49 and 21:55 Zulu. And on the next day, which
would be day 255, page 3-47, I'm up to about frame
50 now, exposed at 15:27. And frames 51 to 56 were
exposed 17:58 to 18:0h Zulu.

257 20 33 08 SPT And I got a couple of frames of the sunset, 19:05

to 19:08. This was after the Sun had gone down.
Let's see if that time checks. Yes, it does check
pretty well. And then of a faint aurora at 19:34
and 19:35. I don't have here the frame number on
that. It would have been right after - oh, in the
fifties. But the point I want to make is I've
got an awful lot of auroral photography, now -
at this point, presumably related to that activity
on the Sun about a week ago. And most of it is on
two cassettes, CI103 and CI104.

257 20 33 58 SPT I've already sent a short note to Dick Underwood

to let him know that these two cassettes in par-
ticularwill need some special handling in order
to be developed - at least these frames developed,
at their maximum possible ASA. Because it is this
slower CI film which I understand can't be developed
further, as if it were - or develop it in such a
way that it will correspond to a higher ASA rating.

257 20 34 28 SPT So particularly, Wally, I wanted to alert you to

that and make sure you relayed any groundwork that
might be necessary to assure that these two cas-
settes and any others with auroral photography
get special handling.

257 20 34 42 SPT End of message relating to auroral photography for

the S063 PIs, Wally Teague and Jack Lew, from the
SPT.

257 20 35 05 SPT This is a message to Ed Gibson, Bill Pogue, Jerry

Carr. Info also to Ed Michel and John Rummel at
the physiology laboratory. Let's go there, fellows.
It shouldn't be too much longer now. Those
fellows are up there on the bicycle. And that's
what I wanted to mention to you, briefly. You
may of noticed that we're putting out quite a
few watt-minutes on the ergometer. And, as a
matter of fact, we're putting them out at lower
heart rates than we were a month and 6 weeks ago. f-_
There are a couple of reasons for that - for this
- that - several of them I wanted to mention to
 248

you. First of all, there's a different way of

riding the bicycle up here than there in is one
g. And parts of it you can begin to per -
practice down there in one g. A1 Bean was the
first to discover this.

257 20 36 03 SPT And, of course, a professional bicyclist probably

would have known it all along. But I guess it's
called ankling. And the idea is that you apply
a fair amount of a torque on the upstroke in - in
addition to the downstroke. I've never bicycled
that way and the appropriate muscles were probably
never used. I don't think they're used extensively
in running, or at least not as extensively as in
bicycling. And you find up here than ankling -
if that's the right word - at any rate, applying
torque on the upstroke is a very big improvement -
results in a big improvement in your ability to
pedal this ergometer.

257 20 36 44 SPT Now, I'd suggest that you be working out on the
bicycle at least 2 or 3 days a week over there.
And then, in addition to Just putting out a lot
of watts, that you also get in the habit of apply-
ing as much of the torque as possible on the up-
stroke. A1 pointed it out to me after a couple
or 3 weeks, and I tried it. Thought my legs
couldn't deliver very much work that way, but
kept at it for the next couple of weeks and found
that those muscles do shapeup, and you can begin
to put out a fair amount of the work with the
muscles that are required for pedaling on the
upstroke.

257 20 37 24 SPT And the next thing I wanted to talk a little bit
about is the stability. You obviously have to
figure out some way to counteract the torque of
the downstroke on the pedals. And in my case -
I'm thinking for Jack and A1 - there are three
ways that this is done. The first one's pushing
with your head. And there is that nice duct on
the overhead. We put a couple of cushions between
our head and the overhead duct, and this stabilizes
you pretty nicely. The second way is by grasping
those handrails. They're a little bit low for me
and I sort of have to grab them with my fingers.
I've been meaning to raise them for about a month
now and I never have gotten aroundto it. But
that also will hold you.
2488

257 20 38 05 SPT And then the third way is by this ankling business.
Now, I can't deliver any significant amount of work
and counterbalance it with just ankling. In other
words, I have to assist with either my hands on the
bars or my head, although I think A1 can manage to
do it pretty nicely here, not fastened to anything.
So in my case, I find that I sort of rest muscles
by alternating between all three. I'll ankle for
a while until those muscles get tired, then I'll
grab the rail for a while. And usually all - the
whole time I'm also contributing part of the
counteracting forces by using my head on the duct.
So, I think you may find that you also want to
use, perhaps in different combinations, all three
of these ways to help hold yourself on the bicycle.

257 20 39 05 SPT There's a final thing that I wanted to mention,

was - I'm not so sure but what our mechanical
efficiency is improving. And this is something
that either Ed Michel or John R11mmel would have
to answer more specifically by looking at the
data. We are delivering more work, and we're _
also working at higher power levels than we were
6 weeks ago. But I'm not convinced that we're
doing so with any higher 02 consumption rate.
In other words, for the same power level, let's
say, 150 or 200 watts, my guess is that we are
delivering - or consuming - about the same amount
of oxygen - or at the same consumption rate that
we have been all along. And it's only our mechani-
cal efficiency that is improving.

257 20 39 52" SPT Therefore, our heart rate is going down. We're
finding the work easier, because we're taking on
the ideas like this ankling business and better
ways to hold your head and hold the handlebars.
I don't know that this last one isn't true - is
true, but I'll want to think it more carefully
when I get back with John and Ed. And if you're
interested, perhaps they can give you some prelim-
inary words now. So, I thought I would mention
these ideas to you early, so you might start getting
in a couple of months of extra practice, particu-
larly on the ankling, and give you a headstart
when you get up here. My thoughts might also be
of interest to John Rummel and Ed Michel. So this
message goes to them as well as Ed Gibson, Bill
Pogue, Jerry Carr over in the astronaut office.

257 20 40 43 SPT End of message from the SPT.

257 20 47 12 SPT SPT on channel A with information that goes to

the food and nutrition branch, in particular to
Deanna Sanford and Jean Reid, Connie Statler, and
those who are going to be working on our menus
when we get back home. I wanted to go down through
the menu it_m_ here a little bit. There's a couple
that are really beginning to bug me. I think I'm
going to be able to force them down for the rest
of the flight here, but I'm hoping that as soon
as I'm on the ground, that some of these things
could come out of the menu. And that's what I
wanted to mention to you. Here on menu, day 1 -
you know about theasparagus. That's already
been out. And everything else but the tuna on
the lunch - but everything else looks pretty good
on menu i.

257 20 48 08 SPT Okay, let's glance at menu 2. And that looks okay
also, although I expect I'm going to be wanting
to supplementthese a littlebit when I get back,
the way I'm doing up here. Menu 2 looks okay.
Okay, menu 3, no complaints. And menu 4, no com-
plaints.

257 20 49 04 SPT Menu 5 - must of all been in menus 5 and 6. I

Just finished going through those, but it had
left a strong impression on my mind the last
time, frankly through 5 and 6. Okay, on menu 5,
this beef hash at breakfast is pretty lousy stuff.
And let's get rid of that beef hash that we get.
I really have to just force it down at this point.
I'll probably tell some of the things that I like.
These peas are not that much at breakfast, but I
like peas. Peaches never did show up in my menu
and I like peaches. Those come in later. You can
always add those fruits if you want some more
calories and stuff. Let's see, it's been mainly
to get that beef hash off menu 5.

257 20 50 0_ SPT And on menu 6, let's get rid of that dried beef.
It's all I can do to force that stuff down, now.
To be quite truthful, what it tastes like up here
is insecticide. I don't know what they put in it,
but it doesn't taste like dried beef and it doesn't

taste like Jerky. It has a flavor to me of insect -

°.
249O

with an odor of that of insecticide. Now, I don't

think that ham anything to do with heat up here,
and I don't think there's really anything wrong
with it. But, boy, it's sure a lousy flavor
as far as I'm concerned. In fact, if you get any
bright ideas on what I can substitute for dried
beef on the next time through menu 6 about 4 or 5
days from now, I'd appreciate hearing abou_ it so
I wouldn't have to eat it up here any more. Now
the spaghetti, we substituted for the pork loin.
I'll manage to get that down another time, next
week, but that's pretty lousy meat in there.

247 20 50 59 SPT And I'd like to not have to fool with the
spaghetti when I get back. So maybe you can be
thinking about some other alternative. As a
matter of fact, if you can give me steaks and
prime rib every night, that suits me fine. I
wish now I'd had almost - maybe throw an occasional
lobster in with steak and prime rib would Just
about satisfy me as a permanent supper main course.
So, let's see if we can get rid of that in the
evening on menu 6, along with the dried beef.
That's really about all. I guess there was only
that dried beef and that hash in the morning.
And now there's spaghetti. The sausage is not all
that good, but a lot of that is just zero-g effects
because the stuff flies all over the place. And
so there are only a couple in there. Probably
should have mentioned it earlier. If you can
think of anyway to get rid of the dried beef and
the hash by next menu 5 and 6, let me know up here.
But it's no big deal. I can force it down, if you
don't find anything. And then when I get back on
the ground, why, hopefully, I won't have to fool
with it, if you'll substitute something else.

257 20 52 08 SPT Okay, that's the end of the message to the food
nutrition people, particularly those three young
ladies, from the SPT.

TIME SKIP

257 21 22 40 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack. I'm debriefing

the last ATM run, which began at 19:55. Has some
observing time there, during which time I went over
 2_91

to the prominence at 120 degrees, and did the -

no, belay my last. Here's what I did. I found
out a bright - a bright line in active region 19,
which was right on the limb. And it se_m_ that
this line was up into the region which normally
contains the spicule that you see between the
white light - Just off the white light limb. I
found a bright region in there which was about
parallel to the limb. And I pointed 55 at it,
maximized the DETECTOR 3, ran the GRATING all
zeros at - and it's got them around from 3 to
4000 counts.

257 21 23 52 PLT So, at that point I ran a GRATING AUTO SCAN with
DETECTORS 1 and 2. I also ran a 56 - l, 3, 5
SHORT, SINGLE FRAME. It hun_ up in 1 and 3. And
i reinitiated both of them. And then I also did
a modified MIRROR AUTO RASTER. I put it in
MIRROR LINE SCAN and I ran down lines 1 through
20 by manually stepping it. In each line, I let
it run from zero up to 16 and back to zero. So
_ there'stwo sweeps in each line, from 1 to 20.
After that, I went ahead and did the JOP 6 on
time. And I also did the TV down-link at 26. And
I did the JOP 6 at the end of the rev also. I had
a little extra time at the end and I went over to
active region 24. And I MIRROR LINE SCANned it
at the brightest point I could find, maximizing
DETECTORS at a GRATING of 2926, where it had been
left from the previous JOP.

257 21 25 ll PLT Also noted at that point - and at the points that
I pointed - That I was pointing at previously -
that to maximize DETECTORS I had to point the
H-alpha crosshairs to the left of the point, which
was the brightest in H-alpha. Also, I noted that
if I were to point H-alpha in the bright - in the
middle of the brightest area, I had to step the
mirror for 55 back to step - step 32.

257 21 25 _8 PLT Now, therefore, my question was, are we really in

the right mirror position by using number 9337
But that's where I've left it. That's where it
is now. I Just point this out for your observation
It may be that H-alpha bright points and the 55
bright points are not a coincidence, although it
_ may be more than coincidentalthat in both of
 24_2

these cases I had to point the H-alpha to the

left in order to maximize detectors on the bright
spot. So we're proceeding now with the 21:28 rev,
and I'll debrief that in about an hour.

257 21 26 29 PLT Thank you.

TIME SKIP

257 22 21 52 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A de-

briefing this last A_vl run at - be_innin_ at 21:28.
I did a little observing time there. It's in your
shopping list, item number 17. And it was a roll
at minus 5400. And I did the 5-minute STANDARD
on that one, and also - I did a full STANDARD on
it and also gave it a MIRROR AUTO RASTER. Then
I did all of those J0P 2 Foxtrots that you out - out-
lined there, running the last one though sunset
and starting them pretty much on the times that
you'd requested in order to space them out. f-_

257 22 22 hl PLT Now J0P 2F calls for a ACTIVE l, LONG for S056.
Since he hadn't had one for a long time, I decid-
ed I'd get him one. One time, one of these
series of six. And so I tried to do that and I
ran through two or three sequences of fi_ters
successfully, until it hung up on a FILTER 5,
and then I finally terminated it. And shortly
thereafter, he told me to turn 56 off and to op-
erate it as per your instructions which would be
coming up later today.

257 22 23 30 PLT So now it's shut down with the camera airlock
closed, the DOOR CLOSED and the camera POWER, OFF.
So other than that, the S055 operation came off
Just as you had hoped that it might. And there's
nothing more to add to that. So we'll be back
with you again on the next rev. And that's the
end of this message.

257 22 59 03 SPT SPT on channel A with information on the M092/93

 2493

run on the commander, AI. Commander A1 had a

left leg circl_ference - left calf of 12-3/_ inches,
same as the last time he ran. His right calf
circnmference was 13-1/8, also the same as the
last time he ran. And that's about all there is
to say about it. Everything went Just - Just like -
like - not quite like normal. In fact, it was
better than it has been before. His heart rate
was lower, probably even better than on the ground.
based run. So, it was the best 92 that he's had.
And on the 93, things went as scheduled, 300 watt-
minutes was the amount of work put out in the
2-minute interval. And I think that's all the
information M092/93 needs.

257 22 59 5h SPT SPT out.

257 23 l0 26 SPT This is the SPT with a message - message to Dr.

Gethyn Timothy and Dr. George Withbroe in
the ATM science room. Say, I meant to call this
down a day or so ago, but left the $055 GRATING
on 19_i, magnesiumX the other day, doing an ex-
tinction passage. I also left it at the same spot
the next sunrise. You might take a look at that
one, if you haven't already, because the inten-
sity on magnesium X extinguished much earlier
at sunset and also was very slow to reappear at
sunrise as compared to most other lines.

257 23 ll 18 SPT Now, I'm going strictly on the basics of timing.

Whereas most of the lines are usually extinguished
along about 45 to 50 seconds, on the time-remain-
ing clock, magnesium X extinguished more like a
minute 20 to a minute 30, as I recall. Of course
these numbers could be in error, because I can't
be certain exactly what the navia_ation program
was doing and so on. But I had the definite im-
pression that magnesium X was absorbed at a sub-
stantially higher altitude than oxygen VI which
is the usual line observed in DETECTOR 3; GRATING
zero.

257 23 ll 58 SPT Now, I'm not aware that the - of what the atomic
oxygen cross section is at the wavelength of

F ¸
2494

magnesitnn X. But perhaps it is large. It might

be worth taking a look at, however, %n the last
week or so we have. And I would appreciate let-
ting me know whether or not there is anything
unusual about the wavelength of magnesium X, as
far as probable atomic oxygen cross section is
concerned.

this - the Nu z on the spacecraft is a plus -
plus 5.0 and that on the pad is a plus 2.2.
Therefore, the Nu z pad is plus 2.2 minus a

negative 2.8 to every rotation. The first case
and next the ROTATION, 254.1, and that's where

So we got the lever to 270. We crank the crank.
We go to SLIDE RETRACTED. Stand by to OPEN the

now we've got to cut this off at 02:03 or sooner,
like the last l0 seconds before that. So I'll go
down and reset my watch and made sure we got it
precise. And cut it off early if necessary. So
we're going to go off the air for a moment. We'll
be right back for our final mark.

258 02 02 46 PLT Okay, space fans, here we are. We're about to

CLOSE the SHUTTER on frame 121. Stand by -
 2499

258 02 02 55 PLT MARK. SHUTTER, CLOSED. And we CLOSED it with a

70-percent taken, 30-percent remaining, in order
to msMe the sunrise time. So we CLOSED it about
8 seconds before 02:03, and we CLOSED it 02:02 and
52 seconds, roughly. And so that was a little
sooner than we wanted to, but so be it. That's
the best we could do. So the SHUTTER's CLOSED on
frame 121, we've gone over to CARRIAGE RETRACTED,
and we'll go back to STOWAGE. And that is field
123. So that terminates our SO19 ops for this
evening, and we're going to stow the film now.

you will - This message is from the SPT, and I
don't know how you get this information to them,
but I would like it sent to them sometime on the
day that this arrives down in Houston; in other
words, today. I'd like to get the message to them
promptly, so they can get it back to Skylab as
required.

258 03 16 37 SPT Hello there, Paul and Herm and Larry. We'ye been
giving you books from time to time, and if you've
been following the mission, you've probably found
that there's been a lot of people Jump on the
visual-observation bandwagon in the last month or
two. Our EREP people, in particular, have been
doing a particularly fine Job of keeping us informed
of places for interesting photography and scheduling
them for us. But in addition to that, the books
that you've prepared have provided us with a good
deal of additional background and provided us with
early, thinking opportunities. As a matter of fact,
I have the book out in my hand right now, and that's
2500

the main point of my conversation. Larry, in

particular I'm looking at the twilight, color
photograph that you have included on page Delta -
Delta 2. And you've asked us to look for this
white, anomalous layer. Well, I don't believe that
white layer is as anomalous as it was earlier
thought to be, because, as a matter of fact, we can
see it at _Imost any sunset or sunrise.

258 03 17 54 SPT Let me Just describe a little bit one such sunrise,
which I tried to sketch out a little bit on a sheet
of paper here. It happened to be on mission day 47,
day 255; that'd be about _ days ago. It was a sun-
set observed at 19:05 to 1R:08 Zulu. Now as the
Sun Just dips below the horizon, the color of the
sky adjacent to the - or next to the horizon was,
of course, reddish. Above that, it was orange.
And occasionally above the orange layer, I can see
a faint, greenish color, although while I 'm men-
tioning that, I should note that I've never seen
the green flash, although I've looked for it many
times. As far as I know, there is no green flash _
visible from high-altitude spacecraft. But there
was, nevertheless, a thin, greenish layer there
that was visible.

258 03 18 52 SPT Now a little time prior to this, before the light
got too dim above the orange and occasional greenish
layer, it turned white. And then above that, it
turned blue. And then above that, it was again
white, which then faded on out into the blackness
of the - of the upper sky. Now I have also a sun-
rise noted on that same day. Now the sunrise,
before the Sun broke the rim of the Earth, was red
and then orange. And above that, a faint green
sometimes as noted. And above that was white.
And then the blue layer. And then a whitish layer
above that. And then black. I don't seem to have
it on this sheet of paper, but at other times, I've
noticed as many as three or four of these white-blue
transitions above the first transition from orange
into white. And so these bands are observable as
near as I can tell, most all of the time. And they
look very much like that photograph that you
provided us with.

258 03 20 16 SPT Now we stopped seeing this if - when you look

around the horizon, say, during the daytime. If
you look over to one side, you can see that ...

258 03 26 55 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A with a message

for INC0 and the MOCR, in the control room. Dear
friendly INCO, I was - This is from the SPT. I
was recording a lengthy message to the people up
at Goddard - here about l0 minutes ago and had the
green light on when I started, but, unfortunately,
when I finished, the green light was off. And I
don't know when you interrupted the message for
a tape dump. Now I finished my message at 03:25
Zulu. I started it probably about 03:15, I
wonder if your records show when you started the
tape dump last night, because the light - the
little green light c_meback on about 03:27. So
it means you finished your tape dump and then
turned the recorder back on for me, I guess.
And if you could let me know in the morning -

258 03 28 06 SPT Okay, this is the SPT with a message for INC0.
Dear INC0, I've been recording a rather lengthy
message to the people up at Goddard, starting
about 03:15 Zulu and ending about 03:25 Zulu.
You had the green light on when I started, but
when I finished at 03:25, it was off. And I'm
sure, because you were dumping the tape. Is
there any way you could tell me in the morning
what time you started and - so I'll have some idea
how much of that message needs to be repeated?
The green light came back on about 03:27; so you
apparently turned the tape recorder back on for
me. But I would like to know how much of it has
been missed.

258 03 28 47 SPT End of message for INC0 from the SPT.

258 II 42 43 CDR Okay, this is the CDR, putting some information

on the VTR. Right now, I'm pointed at DOWN, 850;
LEFT, 005; average expected to run at 90 degrees.

258 ll 43 03 CDR That goes to the ATM science room.

25O2

258 12 02 25 CDR This is CDR, debriefing the last run that I made
last evening, which was 00:B0. I was unable to
do it - debrief at the moment, because SO19 vas
in progress. And then I went to bed early and
did not get it done, although I realized that I
did not. J0P 6, step l, came off as planned with
one exception. I erred and shot the 82A EXPOSURE,
LONG, first FRAME, before effective sunset - sunrise;
so I had to go back and shoot it again after I
shot the SHORT. So I goofed up there, and I -
I'll attempt to do better is all I can say. That
was the point where it was mentioned that there
might be a full frame used because of the radio
burst. I powered up 52 after the - By the way,
at that point I was also doing 52 in NORMAL -
in STANDARD, and so I _mmediately looked at 52
when the STANDARD ran out. Thought I could see
the remnants of a distortion in the corona at
about 5 o'clock at this point, which was the point
you mentioned - 5 o'clock was the ROLL I had in,
which would be the northwest limb normally, although
it was nearing the - It looked like to me like
a - the lower half of - of the bubbles we see,
with the top of the bubble right at the edge of
the scope; so it was sort of a possible. So I
went back and did EXTENDED STANDARD twice, and
that was the end of the pass. Everything went
well, I thought, with the exception of that extra
82 frame. In fact, I thought the noise on the
comm this morning that Bob woke us up with, with
his ... calls and the like, was the 82A experimenter
who'd finally discovered that we'd shot an extra
frame.

258 12 04 22 CDR Anyhow, CDR out; we'll try to do better.

258 12 17 B0 CDR This is the CDRwith information for the ATM science
room about the pass I Just completed on - the

JOP 15D, step l, on coronal hole B. I ran out of
time; I'll have to ask - 0wen Garriott's got the
next run, if he can squeeze it in. Looks like
he might be able to; so I'll mention it to him,
and, hopefully, he cam get it in at the first of
his pass. Everything else was strictly nominal.

those handheld photos should do the Job for you.

258 13 47 42 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A,

debriefing the ATM run which began at 13:01. At
the beginning of the pass, I went back to pick
up something from the rev prior, which was the
13-minute step, JOP 15 Dog, on coronal hole 3.
And so I went back and got that before I proceeded
on with this rev. Then I went and did the JOP 6,
building blocks 1A and B, and the JOP 15B, the
coronal hole 4, and - and the JOP 15 Dog on
coronal hole 1. And we got them all done as you
requested, and we got them all done before effective
sunset; so the ATM schedule for the first two revs
is up to date, and we'll be standing by at lh:29.

258 13 48 36 PLT Thank you.

258 13 48 39 SPT This is the SPT on channel A with information

about the BMMD urine cal. It goes to M172 PIs
and in particular to Bill Thornton. Okay, here [sic]
comes the info, Bill. On day 258, start time
was 13:00 Zulu; stop time was 13:45 Zulu. For
the box, the lid, the measuring plate, two C-10
clamps and 8 inches of gray tape.

258 13 49 29 SPT And the 8 inches of gray tape was used to secure
the top, volume-measuring rods in place. All
those things together, essentially the same thing
that we measured with yesterday, except for the
tape, come to the following: 2.92395, 370, 397,
391, 384. I next added Owen's urine bag plus 3
inches extra of gray tape. My volume was estimated
at 1470, lhT0 net milliliters, serial number 330.
Got the following five numbers: 3.06192, 180, 133,
186, 184. Now you'll note the third number is
pretty far out in the ballpark, as compared to the
rest. It's substantially further than a sigma.
So I gave you - I'll give you a sixth reading, if
you want it to use it. 3.06186 iwmy number 6
reading, if you want to use that.
250_

258 13 50 35 SPT Next, I added Jack's urine bag plus another

3 inches of gray tape. He estimates the volume at
1600 milliliters, serial number 272. I obtained
3.19835, 86h, 872, 840, 828. I next add Al's
urine bag. He estimates 1750, 1750 milliliters,
serial number 295. 3.22hli, 508, 575, 561, h80.
And I gave you a sixth one here. 3.22598, if you
want to use that. Okay, on - Next, I took all of
the urine bags out and next left the box, the lid,
the plates, two C-clamps, same original 8 inches
of gray tape, and the four cal masses Just like I
had it yesterday. Then I obtained 2.996h6, 639,
627, 642, 646. It looks like pretty good
measurements to me. Now one other comment, Bill.
I thought yesterday was going to be the last time
we did this. Apparently, you wanted to do it
again. I was going to make a comment yesterday.
I don't think we ought to be adding three urine
bags to all that box. We're overfilling the box.
For example, on the third sequence - fourth
sequence there, after adding Al's urine bag, I
could not stuff all three of those inside that
box. So we had about 3 inches of his urine bag
still hanging out the end, and I don't think that
that fourth sequence is therefore as good as the
rest. I - Unless you really like the numbers, I'd
tend to discard it.

258 13 52 28 SPT Also, I would not ask the - anyone else to cram
three urine bags into that box. I think you're
running a danger of warping that urine box out of
shape; that's sort of bad news if that should hap-
pen, and I - I - I think it's just forcing it too
hard to do all that stuff - to cram it all in. I
should have mentioned that yesterday, and I want
to mention it today, because I don't think you
ought to ask for that another time. Okay Bill,
those numbers look pretty good to me. and I hope
they're satisfied - sat - meets your satisfaction.
End of message to 172 PIs, including in particular,
Dr. Bill Thornton. SPT out. Excuse me; one P.S.

CDR Must be looking for surface roughness or something

like that.

SPT Either that or water temperature.

SPT Might cut across the Gulf stream up here, I don't

know.

PLT Sounds like S is working there, A1.

would guess that this afternoon, on this type of

will be carrying the ball in the neighborhood of
25 to 30 times. If Don Mahoney can sustain the

it's - -

258 18 07 51 PLT MARK. SCAT is STANDBY.

CDR - - ... up and down, back to the center.

258 18 07 54 PLT RAD is ON.

standing there and nodding up and down every once
in a while. Like it Just went up - it goes up in

258 18 08 07 CC You said it's nodding up and down right now, too?

CDR Yes, right now it's nodding up and down.

258 18 08 09 PLT Okay, READY light out on 190 and we're in STANDBY.

258 18 08 ii CDR It's staying over to the right and nodding up and

PLT Let me read to them, A1. Bravo 9 is 57, Charlie 9

is off-scale low and Jumping up to 1 percent
sometimes. Delta 9 is 17 to 18 percent. I got
no MALF light except intermittent RAD/SCAT GIMBAL
lights.

CDR What it looks like it's doing is - It's not doing

a perfect up and down. It goes up straight so that
it looks like the max ... go and then it kind of
swings to the left and down but it only swings by
a couple of degrees - -

CC Okay. But in XTC it ought to be a zero PITCH and

it ought to be yawing back and forth, _/RIGHT.
2522

CDR It's not. It's - -

258 18 08 50 PLT MARK. RAD to STANDBY - -

258 18 l0 19 PLT MARK. RAD is ON. 192 is getting ready to go to

STANDBY.

258 18 l0 29 PLT MARK. 192 to STANDBY. Now the SCAT TRANSMITTER

light is off. I've got an intermittent RAD/SCAT
GIMBAL.

CDE Got a funny kind of two-phased motion. Here's what

it does. It moves to the right slightly and then
pitches up quickly and then - -

258 18 ll 25 PLT MARK. MODE, AUTO on 190. READY light on.

CDR - - pitches up, moves to the right, pitches up and

comes back to left. Pitches up, moves to the right,
pitches up, comes back to the left. Pitches up,
moves to the right slightly, pitches up, comes back
to the left.

PLT That's what it's supposed to do, I think. Is it -

is it moving it downward Just a little bit as it
scans to the right?

258 18 ll 45 CDR Yes. But the doggone thing is - is way over to the
right. It's not going center and it's not moving
_ very far left and right, maybe it doesn't.
2524

PLT Well, our CROSS-TRACK SCAN ANGLE is zero.

CDR That's about it, because it sure isn't scanning far.

And it doesn't - it's not centered up like it is
when it goes to the stowage. Seems to be further
right in the stowed position. So it pitches up,
then it kind of goes to the right and then pitches
up. Pitches up, down; right, up, down. Up, down;
right, up and around. Up, down; right, up, and
around to stop. Up, down; right, up and around.
Down; up, down; right and then down. Kind of goes
to the right, sets up, comes back to where it
started, and then it goes up and down, then does
it again.

258 18 13 13 CC Skylab, Houston; back with you through Bermuda.

CDR Maybe this thing not supposed to go very far in -

ROLL, Bruce. It's got kind of a two-phased motion.
Let me describe it to you again. First, it - let's
assume we start somewhere. Right? Not starting
in the center; starting with it pin - pointed to _ "_
the right. It pitches up and then back to where
it was. Then it kind of moves to the right slowly,
and then, right at the end of the motion, which is
about lO degrees - it's hard to tell from here, it
pitches up and sort of swings then back to where
it started the first time. So it's a pitch up and
down, then it moves slowly to the right and then up
and over to the starting point. And then up, down
then over the right slowly, and up and around to the
starting point. And I'll give you a mark when it
reaches the starting point each time so you get the
cycle.

258 18 lh Oh CDR MARK. That's start.

258 18 14 08 CDR MARK. It's at start again.

CDR I'll describe it again. Okay? Pitch up, move right,

up and around. Pitch up, down, move to the right,
around, and to initial point. Up, down, right, and
up and around. Okay.

CC By up and ar - CDR, Houston.

CDR Yes.
 2525

258 18 14 30 CC By up and around, do you mean that it's now moving

to the left?

CDR Yes. Well, it's always to the right. But it then

moves back, moves back to its starting position.
Its total roll travel, I - it's going to be hard to
get from here. You're looking at it at a funny
angle of B degrees or 5 degrees or something like
that. It doesn't go back and forth like I visualized
it would. It never comes past the center line and
it always seems to work in awfully small circles
but it could be a big circle on the ground, of course.

258 18 l_ 59 CC But would you say that the angle, when it changes
its pitch, is about one-third of the angle through
which it moves in roll or some other ratio?

258 18 15 08 CDR It's a good question. I would say that in roll it

moves a little bit less than it does in pitch.
Pitch, my guess would be - 4 to 5 degrees; and
roll, my guess would be - now that you mention it,
_ somethingless than that. But you can't tell from
this angle, Bruce. You're not getting - you're
not on one of the axes. You're sort of looking
at it off to the corner and - and it's all-covered
with insulated material and you can't see the gim-
bals too well so it's tough to separate one from
the other. But it's always to the right of where
the stowed position is which I asst_ne must be the
center.

258 18 15 51 CC Roger. We got a keyhole coming up here. We'll

be back in a minute.

CDR Okay, I'm going to haul it back to the nadir swath

place.

CDR Sure doesn't act like I thought it was going to,

Jack. Never goes over to the left. Maybe it's
Just - -

258 18 16 13 PLT MARK. READY light on on 190. We're in STANDBY.

CDR 50.

258 18 16 33 CC Okay. I don't think the keyhole's going to affect

greatly here. We seem to be hanging in anyway. The
thing shouldbe moving through a total roll angle
of about 23-1/2 degrees.
2526

CDR Not even close.

CC And the pitch angle ought to be on the order of a

degree or 2.

258 18 16 48 CDH That's about right. They're both operating on a

degree then. That would be my guess. Hard to tell.

CC And how about commenting once again on the IN-TRACK

CONTIGUOUS because we copied that it moves out fairly
rapidly and then bounces off the stop and then sweeps
down properly.

258 18 17 04 CDR It moves out, bounces against the stop, hard; comes
back to the center and pauses, then it moves abruptly
towards the back. It bounces off it less - less
hard. But still, it isn't the kind of thing you'd -
it isn't like any tracking antenna I've ever seen
operate. It looks like the parts would wear out,
but it may be this is just different.

CC I suspect you'd be hard pressed to design one that ._

would do the Job.

CDR That's right and I'll tell you it shakes the struts
that it's mounted on. You - When it hits stop either
way, it shakes the insulation and the struts
themselves. So it's giving them a pretty good zap.

258 18 17 53 CDR Okay, we're ready to do this nadir swath so we're

watching it right now. Get some clouds coming so
we may have some good information; we're at MIN MAG,
which is what you like. 18:50 to 21:58. This is
going to take a few frames.

CC CDR, Houston. On the IN-TRACK CONTIGUOUS MODE, does

the antenna ever pitch farther aft than the zero
degree position? Over.

CDR You mean - this is the one that's up and down.

258 18 18 22 PLT MARK. AUTO CAL.

CC Yes, sir.

CDR Yes, it goes all the way to both stops. It goes to

the front stop, hits it hard - -

258 18 18 29 PLT MARK. HAD to STANDBY. ALTIMETER, ON.

 Z52T

CDR - - then it kind of bounces to the center - -

258 18 18 BB PLT READY light is on on the ALTIMETER.

CDR Pauses in the middle a second or so, and then moves

to the back position hard - -

258 18 18 40 PLT RAD is OFF.

CDR - - then it goes to the front position hard. It

looks like it moves to its full pitch range in
this IN-TRACK CONTIGUOUS except it's a very abrupt - -

258 18 18 51 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER UNLOCK light on.

CDR - - stop.

CC Okay.

CDR Now it looks like it's stowed at zero, by the way.

z_ CC So we're going farther aft than the zero stow

position?

CDR Yes. It's going back until it's - back to about

an equal distance back.

258 18 19 06 PLT MARK. READY light out on 193. 193 ALTIMETER_ the
READY light Just went out without doing anything.

CC Okay. We copy, A1.

CDR Okay, and we're still running this - nadir swath.

Looking like it's okay.

CC You did - -

CDR Clouds okay. You start running the antenna, let me

know and I'll - -

CC ... at 18:23, which is about 4 minutes from now.

Out.

258 18 19 21 CDR Yes, and I noticed that I got a SI maneuver at 18:22.

So I may start the maneuver, then turn off the camera.
And I notice that time is loaded. Is that correct?
They like the time. Boy, that antenna is going crazy
_ outthere, Jack.
2528

258 18 19 58 PLT Wonder why?

CDR I don't know. Some part's failed, I bet, some

damper or something. That thing Just couldn't last.
It really hits those stops.

PLT Uh-huh.

CDR Boingl Like that, you know. It doesn't Just barely

hit the far end, it hits them hard enough to bounce
off; the struts shake. (Laughter).

258 18 20 15 PLT I wonder how many different problems we got here

if they're related or different or what?

CDR I don't know.

CDR At 22, I got to do something intelligent, for a

change.

258 18 20 38 CDR Got a minute and a half.

PLT Okay, we're still bomb - bombing along here with

L - 193 ALTIMETER POWER switch ON, READY light out,
and ALTIMETER UNLOCK light on. And I'm going to
do something to the 194 momentarily.

CDR We're getting differences - we're getting scattered

to broken clouds so that's going to mA_e a nice
swath.

258 18 20 56 PLT MARK. 194 MODE to MANUAL. 21:02.

258 18 21 02 PLT MARK. 191 READY light on. Right on time. Okay,
we're going ALTIMeTEr, STANDBY in a moment here.

CDR Still going scattered here. Scattered with about -

I'd say about 3/10 coverage.

PLT Watching your mAueuver at 22?

CDR I'm watching it like a hawk.

PLT Okay.

CDR Thanks for reminding me. That's what I was doing;

watching this clock. Got 35 seconds to go. We're
now about 2/10 coverage; and getting less.
 2529

258 18 21 38 CDR We're down to 2/!0, probably about 2/10. I've got
to make this maneuver.

258 18 21 55 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER to STANDBY.

258 18 22 00 PLT MARK. Maneuver time.

CDR Going to SI.

258 18 22 03 PLT EREP, STOP.

258 18 22 04 CDR MARK.

PLT Okay, that 's that.

CDR Turn off DAC.

CDR That 's it. We 're on the way, Jack.

PLT Okay. Tape re - tape measurement, 190 depletion.

Okay.

CDR 190 deplete, huh?

258 18 22 35 PLT Okay, here's the post. Voice record Bravo 7. The
Bravo 7 voice recorder is 31 percent. Okay, you got
that. 192 DOOR coming CLOSED. Okay, we're going
to catch - close and latch 190. Okay, 190 is CLOSED
and now we're going to latch it.

258 18 23 0h PLT Okay, 190 window is latched. Okay, we're going to

go off of the recorder. This is the end of EREP 32
for the EREP people.

258 18 23 lh PLT Thank you for standing by for this message.

TIME SKIP

258 20 12 09 SPT SPT on channel A debriefing the last ATM pass

that finished about 20:05.

SPT Okay, the first part of the pass went as was

scheduled on the ATM schedule. There was a bit
of a hangup on S05h. It didn'taccepta couple
of start commands. It may have run on through
for two sequences once; I'm not certain. I think
2530

I also missed a 256 EXPOSURE on FILTER 4, because

I had it still left at 64. But aside from those
problems with 54, it went as scheduled.

258 20 12 54 SPT And the observing time, I - first took a look at -

what appears to be a - an emerging flux region
slightly northwest of Sun center. I'd say it's
about 060.3. And there is a very slight - a very
small H-alpha signature. And finding a brighter
spot in bothUVand H-alpha, did a partial
GRATING AUTO SCAN and a MIRROR AUTO RASTER. Then
went on up to a bright point - up toward a coronal
hole in the northeastern quadrant of the Sun and
only had time to do a partial MIRROR AUTO RASTER,
sort of like a mini-MAR on that bright point.
And then I slid over to a - a bright plage on the
east limb for the last couple of minutes of the
orbit and remained inMIRROR LINE SCAN for JOP 7
information. End of the debriefing from the SPT.

258 20 14 00 SPT And that information, of course, goes to the ATM

PIs and pl-nners. _

TIME SKIP

258 21 00 27 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. I

may have become distracted after m_ run a few revs
ago and I'm not sure that I debriefed it. And,
if so, I'll Just go ahead and debrief it again,
and - and you can throw it away if you already
got it. It began at lh:29, and I did the shopping
list item 17. And then I went ahead and did your
coronal hole studies on coronal hole number h and
number 5 with the requested settings and the
requested pointings. And I also did coronal
hole 3 with your pointing, and I got done a little
early. And this is the reason I think I didn't
debrief it, because I don't remember giving you
this information.

258 21 01 31 PLT When I got finished, I went over to ac - active

region 26 and I did a - a MIRROR AUTO RA_
and on active region 26 in GRATING POSITION _26,
which is where it was left from the coronal hole
setting. And when it got down to about 2-1/2 or
3 minutes, I - to actual sunset, why, I went into
MIRROR LINE SCANs, all DETECTORS, so you could
 2531

get some atmic - atmospheric extinction data,

Just in case you wanted it. So that completes
that debriefing. And, as I say, if I already
gave that to you, why, throw it away. But I think
there's some information there that you did not
have before.

258 21 02 18 PLT Thank you.

258 21 16 18 CDR 0wen Garriott is 12-1/2 in the left leg for M092.
This Just goes to the biomed-interested individuals.
We're performing M092/171 on Dr. Garriott ; 12-1/2
on his left leg. I'll give you the right leg in
Just a second.

258 21 16 59 CDR Dr. Garriott is 12-3/8 on the right leg also.

Not also; just 12-3/8 on the right leg.

258 21 22 52 CDR This is the CDR on 92. We're a little ahead of

the game. We're going to have to hold right now
while (cough) we wait until our window comes up.
_ At that time, I'll (cough) put the recorders
back on and give you a high and low cal. We'll
go from there.

258 21 23 05 CDR CDR out.

258 21 41 37 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A

debriefing the last ATM run which began at 20:48.
I did the J0P 6, building block 2, as you
requested. Then went to Sun center and did the
JOP 6 again twice, building block 28. Gave
you the GRATING, as you requested, and also
running 54 this time. I reported an active
region, which was following active region 26
around the east limb, which - you've probably
already found that ar4vway, but it was the first
time I'd seen it Just coming over the limb.
And we designated that active region - active
region 28, which we'll continue to watch now.

258 21 42 42 PLT I also noticed that - I believe there was a

filament, a fairly well-developed one with a
definite black [? ] structure north of active
region 26 this morning. It was quite a long
one, ran east and west, and I noticed that it's
not there any more, so something's going on
F around active region 26 there. Now I ... that
I had a few minutes, and I whistled over to
active region 26 and peaked up the DETECTORS,
2532

and - and ran the GRATING around to zero on

the bright spot there - DETECTORS 1 and 2 - and
then did a little mirror line scanning on the
same area with all DETECTORS and GRATING all
zeros through actual sunset. Now that concludes
the debriefing on the 20:48 rev, and we're back
in about a half an hour.

258 22 48 i0 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. SPT Just finished with
the run. It came out real well. I think you
have all the data. In order that he can - the
data will not take - won't take a chance of
losing the - forthcoming data, I Just did a high
and low cal. Now at the end of the exercise
period he's going to perform right now, I'll go
through the remainder of the card and give you
CABIN AIR and all that other business.

258 22 48 34 CDR So I think you'll have all the information you

need plus some extra that he'd like to give you.
 2533

258 23 05 51 CDR This is the CDR, and the SPT Just finished his
run. He's going to talk about it in a few
minutes - exactly what he did and what the objec-
tives were. But let me give you CABIN AIR of all
the ... CABIN AIR: PERCENT 02, 65.52; PERCENT H20 ,

h.32; and PERCENT C02, 2.lb. SPT will be talking

with you very soon.

258 23 06 20 CDR CDR out.

258 23 15 51 SPT Okay, this is a note to the M092/171 people

relative to the run on the SPT. Okay, after
the run was complete, I gave you some extra
exercise work on the ergometer without changing
the setup. After the 5-minute rest per - rest
period for 171, A1 reset the time clock and,
after doing a calibrate, I gave you 5 more
minutes at 175 and 5 more minutes at 200 watts.
My heart rate went up to Just about 180 at
the end of that.

258 23 16 2h SPT And we - we think we've got the setup such

that you've got all the regular 171 data and
then can immediately begin looking at this
exercise period. And if you would, please
confirm that the settings are satisfactory
the way we're doing it, because we don't want
to be doing all this stuff for - for nothing.
We want to get it right. So, please, if you
would - for example, in the remarks section
of the next med status report, Just include a
note that you got the data okay and that our
procedures are satisfactory. So I guess that's
the only other information that they need to
know about 92/171. All went Just as expected
plus the exercise. End of message to the
M092/171 PIs. And that was from the SPT and
the CDR.

258 23 17 ii SPT Message complete.

258 23 25 36 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A

debriefing the last ATM run which began at
22 - Let me start again. It started at 22:20.
We started out by going to Sun center and
_- doing the shopping list item number 17 with
FAST SCAN for h3 seconds precisely- and looking
at the corona some. I even drew a picture of
it. Let me talk about that now. I guess I
haven't drawn one for a day and a half. So -
 2535

DAY 259 (AM)

259 O0 46 59 CDR CDR, debriefing the ATM run that occurred at

23:53. It was a perfect run. We just followed -
wait a minute - I just - Here's the problem.
When I started up S056, I didn't realize that the
CAMERA AIRLOCK was CLOSE, nor did I realize the
CAMERA POWER was OFF, so I took a - I tried to
take a frame w_th the POWER, OFF. Then I tried
to take one with the AIRLOCK, CLOSE and every-
thing else went perfect.

259 00 47 27 CDH CDR out.

259 O0 57 38 SPT Okay, this is the SI_f on channel A with information

for the _92/171 Pls. Jack is the subject today.
The PLT has a left calf of 14-1/8 inches, a right
standard ones that we've been using all along.
The blood pressure cuff was changed out; instead
of number ii, we're now using serial number 5.
ii was still damp from my run a couple of hours
ago, so we switched it because the isolation was
essentiallyzero soon as Jack put it on.

259 O0 58 ii SPT So - we'll run on cuff number 5, at least today,

and decide on the next one whether to change it
back or not. But after switching to cuff 5, why
the isolation was above the - into the green at
any rate. So that's all the information you need
for now; we have the 92 run under way at this
time.

259 00 58 31 SPT SPT out; more to come.

TI_ SKIP

259 01 26 i_ SPT Okay, SPT back on channel A with more info about
the 92/171 run on our PLT, Jack. The ambient
C951N AIR PRESSURE is 4.985. The P_'RC_NT 02 is
reading 66.20. The PERCENT_ WATER reads 3.79.
And the PERCENT CO 2 reads 2.22, 2 point double
deuce. And that's all the info you get right now.
2536

259 01 35 05 SPT Okay, we got VITAL CAPACITY measurements now on

Jack, and his first one is 5.990; 5.990 is the
first VITAL CAPACITY for Jack.

259 01 35 53 SPT 5.813 is the second one; 5.813. Jack's second

VITAL CAPACITY measurement.

259 01 36 h8 SPT 5.986 was the third one; 5.986, the third VITAL
CAPACITY for Jack.

TIME SKIP

259 02 08 59 SPT Okay, for the M092/171 Pls. Here's another look
at the CABIN AIR percentages. 02 is 60.99. WATER,
ll.06. That looks strange, doesn't it? C02 reads
2.0h, Okay, I don't know where those high water
percentages came from. ThatTs what it says_ though.
Water is ll.03. And 02 is essentially 61 percent.
Okay, those are the numbers. And I believe that's F_
all the informatioh you want from us for Jack's
run on the 92/73 - 171.

259 02 09 57 SPT End of message to the M092/171 PIs from the SPT.

259 02 22 16 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A witn info to

M092/171 PIs. Okay, I think I know why I had
that high PERCENT WATER when I was measuring
CABIN AIR. This was the 171-3, and once the -
my time count stopped, I skipped over that step
to ... CABIN AIR. Two things to be done there,
the CABIN AIR SAMPLE valve open and the MODE
SELECT to CABIN AIR, and also the EXHALED SAMPLE
valve closed. And so I apparently Just took a
sample of the exhaled air, which naturally had a
high water vapor content instead of the CABIN AIR.
I have already turned theMA off and everything
at this point, so I assume that you can get along
with that - without that doublecheck of CABIN AIR
percentages since it seems very unlikely that
they're going to change any; they've always been
all the same. And - you might even be interested
in that exhaled sample, but I doubt it. Anyway,
I don't think that's any big commotion, I assume
you will agree. And the MA has been put in
 2537

STANDBY at this point. But that does explain

why we had the high numbers for the PERCENT WATER.

TIME SKIP

259 ll 41 40 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on cha-nel A

debriefing the last ATM run and the first one up
today, which began at 10:47. I did the J0P 8 -
J0P 6, step 2, building block 2, at Sun center.
And then went on to observing time to inspect the -
what looked like to me to be a good area in the -
at the south pole using XUVMONITOR to find a
coronal hole. And I did the plus or minus the -
30 arc seconds occluded for 5 minutes and
20 seconds on the UV WAVE, SHORT, And then I
picked an area fairly northerly of that - northerly
of that, where there was an obvious quiet area,
but not a coronal hole. Using the XUV MONITOR, I
repeated the same procedures. I looked out over
Sun center,did the J0P 7, building block 15, and
that came off normally, too.

259 ll 42 47 PLT Now we've had one problem that's been piling up
this morning, and that is with H-ALPHA 2. When
I put the POWER, ON H-ALPHA 2, I saw the H-ALPHA 2
Sun sort of go off and on, I guess you might say.
It appeared to me that it was falling in and out
within the time that it was minimum ZOOM. It
either appeared to be pulling in and out or going
off and on or both at the s_me time. The DOOR was
OPEN, of course, and the - the gray talkback was
showing, and, for all intents and purposes,
everything else appeared to be all right.

259 ll _3 3_ PLT I checked MONITOR 2 to make sure that it was not

the monitor. And sure enough it wasn't. When I
put in the other display on MONITOR 2, it worked
normally. I turned H-ALPHA2, OFF for most of the
orbit. And later on, I tried to turn it ON to see
if we had - perhaps the problem had gone away or it
bad solved itself, or something was back in sync
and there was no longer a problem. But this time
I did not get any H-ALPHA 2 at all. Nothing showed
2538

up on the scope, and with the H-ALPHA 2 POWER, ON,

I wasn't able to get anything at all. So I turned
H-ALPHA2 POWER, OFF, and that's where it is now.
So - uh - that's the problem that needs troubleshoot-
ing, and I certainly hope that it's nothing for us
to see a decrease in our capability for the rest
of the mission.

259 ii 44 29 PLT And that's the end of the message; thank you.

259 ll 44 50 PLT One other - one other observation I'd like to make
on the ATM debriefing is that, looking at the XUV
MONITOR - XUV MONITOR, I noticed the bright area -
the bright point of a relatively larger size than a -
than a mere bright point, although not as big as
the plage area. It developed at about 080, about
0.4 of radius, I would guess, something like that.

259 ll 45 25 PLT I was not able to - I did not have time to go back
and look at that point in H-alpha. But it's a
little bright area that seems to be developing
in the XUVwhich is - I did not notice yesterday.
And I also noticed a little bright point that had
about 250 at about 0.3 of a radius. That point
is smaller. It had more of the characteristics
of what we'd call a - a bright point. The one
that I mentioned earlier at 070 is more of a bright
area than it is a bright point, although it has
not increased to the size of what we'd see in a
plage area on XUV.

259 ll 46 13 PLT And, so now that's the end of this debriefing on

the first rev.

TIME SKIP

259 13 13 45 CDR This is the CDR debriefing the 12:20 ATM run.
It went entirely nominal. I was unable to fin-
ish the second - well, I did do 36A. I completed
36A, although the prominence was so diffused and
so dim in H-alpha that I had a tough time really
determining I was there. I did the best I could
on what I thought was the prominence, and I gave
you the data there. But I haven't got a lot of
 2539

confidence that - that it's going to be strong

enough to give you any further information.

259 13 lh 16 CDR CDR out.

259 13 23 52 SPT Turn the recorder on. Okay, we're recording

channel A at the same time on the VTR and TV,
right? Okay, thank you.

259 13 2h 05 SPT What we're wanting to do now is to demonstrate

some of the flexibility of our television system
and how it might help us in medical disgnosis.
Now, of course, we don't always have a trained
physician on board. For example, the way the pres-
ent Skylab mission is lined up, all of our phy-
sicians are on the ground. And yet it's possible,
although we haven't had any trouble on this
flight, it's possible that we might have trouble
requiring the professional services of a physician.
And one of the things that we might want to do is
exRm_ne eyes.

259 13 2h 36 SPT What we're about to look at here is some of the

/_- ways that we can work together on the spacecraft
with our physicians and - on the ground in a more
accurate diagnosis than one of us could make
alone up here. Now, at the moment we're looking
with our closup lens at Jack's eyeball. And I'm
going to zoom in a little bit and give us a lit-
tle closer look at some of the things that we _an
see.

259 13 25 03 SPT Now this is a pretty good image on our monitor

here on the spacecraft. And I expect that you'll
be able to see it Just as well as this on the
ground, also. Now obviously we can examine the
exterior of the eye with rather fine detail.
The conjunctiva coming up to the colored portion
of the eyeball there is clearly visible, the
flecks in the iris, or in the colored section of
the eye are quite visible. The pupil can be
seen. It's not very widely dilated now, but if
we should have any question about the extent of
the dilation, the trained physicians on the
ground could examine it more closely and give us
advice as to whether or not they thought anything
might be wrong.
2540

259 13 25 55 SPT Conjunctivitis is a fairly common problem that

is sometimes encountered and the trained personnel
on the ground could see more accurately than we,
whether or not any of the little areas of blood-
shot streaks are related to conjunctivitis or
some other problem, perhaps.

259 IB 26 17 SPT Can you move up just a little, Jack? Okay, that's
real good focus right there. Yes. Okay, why
don't you shut your eyes for a moment and we'll
see if this will tend to dilate the pupil a little
bit. When we open it up, we'll see if it's any
smaller or any larger when - when the eyes are
opened, okay?

259 13 26 36 SPT Okay, there might have been a slight increase

during the brief interval he had his eyes closed.
And this is one way in which we can communicate
with the people on the ground. Of course, we're
in daily contact amywaywith our crew physician.
Dr. Paul Buchanan has been a real help to us and
I - we believe he's responsible for helping us
maintain the good health that we've been in for
the last 7 weeks. And if we should have had a
more serious problem relating to an eye or other
area, why, he would have been the first man to
know about it and could have provided us with the
advice and assistance necessary to correct that
problem.

259 13 27 17 SPT Okay, let's see if we can get a glimpse of an

ear now. Okay, move forward Just a little. Okay,
position now. Okay, pitch down with your head
Just a little bit - that's right, and - okay, that's
Just right. Now we're looking at Jack's right
ear. There are also problems that can occur in
the area of ear, difficulties related to perhaps
the changes of pressure that we undergo, both
during ascent and descent from the Earth up to
the spacecraft altitude. Our spacecraft is
fine, but it's only 5 psi. That's about
one-third the atmospheric pressure that you folks
have at ground level. In addition to that, we
have changes of pressure that occur every time
we go EVA - outside the spacecraft. When we go
out in our pressure suits, we drop from about -

about 5 to only 3-1/2 psi. And the composition

of our atmosphere also changes from time to time.
And so there are some ear problems that could be
associated with these changes.

259 13 28 45 SPT And if there should be any sort of a swelling of

the ear or a redness or other difficulties, we
could bring these pictures to the ground and not
only get the advice of Dr. Buchanan, but other
specialists in these areas as well. For'example,
Dr. Warshaw, we have worked with on a number of
occasions in Houston and I'm sure he would be
i_nediately available to discuss our personal
situations relative to the area of his specialty.
And having worked with Dr. Warshaw, are very
familiar with his - with hishigh level of confi-
dence. We have a great deal of confidence in his
ability to advise us and would be very comfortable
working with him, if we should have a problem in
the area of the, - for example, the ear or throat,
and so on. And Dr. Buchanan would serve as an
intermediaryhere and help keep us in a top phy-
sical condition.

259 13 29 46 SPT Let's see if we can see back in the throat now.
Okay, come up a little bit, that's right, now,
up. Okay - that's just right. Okay, let's see
what else -

259 13 30 02 CC Skylab, Houston. We're i minute to a short LOS

here while we hand over to Honeysuckle. And
we'll be with you through Honeysuckle for about ...
dumping the data voice tape recorders.

259 13 30 ll SPT Okay, well - Okay, touching these cables, there

we are, back again. Okay. Now, have to come
up - up some more - up some more. Okay, now tip
your light up so we can see toward the back.
Okay, now we are shining one of our little
flashlights back into Jack's mouth and had we
had any throat problems, perhaps laryngitis or
any sort of a sore throat, we would have been
able to display these pictures and get the
advice of trained physicians on the ground as to
whether or not the redness was associated with
one particular difficulty or another. And while
we are looking at the mouth, we've obviously
got a pretty good view of the teeth, in case we
_ should have had a chipped tooth. We'd have been
2542 _

able to talk to and directly with Dr. Frome at

NASA and he could have advised us as to what sort
of remedial action might be necessary. See a
filling there in Jack's left molar, as a matter
of fact.

259 13 31 30 SPT And had that filling come out, we have on board
all the necessary equipment necessary to refill
that tooth temporarily and - -

259 13 37 43 SPT Okay, this is the end of the recording on channel

A, also. And it should be sent to the PAO personnel,
including Fred Koons, for correlation with the VTR,
the video tape recorder.

259 13 37 56 SPT SPT out.

259 13 53 3h CDR Okay, one of the things that we had in our enter-
tainment kit when we got here was a set of darts.
Now these darts were regular Earth darts - notice
the fins, the body - with one exception. Instead
of having a needle at the point, we had some Velcro,
which, as you know, comes in two parts: One part
that has some small threadlike hooks on it, which
we put on the front of the dart; the other part,
which has a clothlike pile on it s_m_lar to a towel,
which we put on the target. When the dart strikes
the target, the hooks engage the pile, and it sticks.
Okay, we put up our target, got ready for a little
dart-throwing practice on our days off, and this
is what happened. First of all, we found that the
dart tumbled Just as it's doing right now. And we
found that without gravity, we tended to throw high.
Let's try it again. I knew what was coming at the
end of that line. Where'd it go? Okay. All right,
let me get it. All right. Okeydoke.

259 13 55 20 CDR So the two problems we encountered were: One,

throwing too high, and the other is tumbling the
dart. Well, we could easily master the problem
of throwing too high simply by throwing right at
the target without allowing for any gravity drop.
But the dart still tumbered - tumbled, so we
designed two additional new darts, right here.
One with sort of slightly improved fin area, and
the other was greatly improved. Let's see how
they work. Okay. Ah! It didn't stick too well.
,_-_ 2543

It seemed to have pretty good stability, but Just

didn't stick. And a miss. As you can see, one of
the advantages of throwing darts up here is when
you miss, ofttimes they come back right to you.
Don't have to go get them. Another miss.

259 13 56 36 CDR So in order to increase the accuracy we tried a

couple of other things. There's the dart down
there. We started throwing down the slowing of
the dart, something you can't do on Earth. Too
high again. Here it comes back though. Okay,
let's try a lower one. Let's throw real slow.
There we go; still a miss. Try it now, another
slow one. Throw a nice slow one here. Looks like
a good one; good stick, too.

259 13 58 02 CDR Let's try all three of them again in slow flight.
We'll try all three in slow flight. First the
original design; notice the tumble. Stuck on the
side. Here's the big fin. Missed the target, but
stuck and had good stability. Here's the medium
fin. Ah, missed the target. Here it comes back.
Another try.

259 lh 03 34 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject this morning is Mh87-2 Delta, crew debriefing.
Question n,imher 1. I think this information prob-
ably goes to Bob Bond in the program office. Ques-
tion number l: How effective are the various tools
used thus far; in particular, which are poorly suited
for use in zero g? Did you find that you needed
any tools other than those provided in the kits?
The tools we've used thus far have been effective
in doing the Job. By and large, I think the kind
of tools we needed are about the same kind you use
on the ground. I don't think we need any fancy
tools that particularly are suited only to zero g.
In other words, we don't need reaction with tools
and that kind of thing. A]] you need to do is
stabilize yourself somewhere, and it's just like
standing on the ground.

259 lh 04 25 PLT At the moment, I can't think of any tool which is

particularly poorly suited for use in zero g or
any pat- Any tool that's poorly suited for use
on the ground will also be poorly suited for use
up here. Same kind of tools on the ground are
useful up here. Did you find any tools that - we
 2544 ._.

needed? I think I mentioned once before that there

have been times wh - when we wished we had a hack-
saw. And other times when we wished we had some
kind of a drill, perhaps a hand drill. So those
would have been useful items.

259 14 04 56 PLT By and large, any kind of tool that you find useful
on Earth will be the kind you find useful here.
And the hacksaws and drills are among those tools
which at my house I consider useful. The comple-
ment of wrenches, sockets, and pliers, and those
kinds of things - There should be as much a variety
as you'd have in a - a fairly well-stocked tool
bench at h_ne. And we don't need as _auy special-
ized tools as you'd have in a machine shop, but
certainly this is a place where you'd want to have
it even more well stocked perhaps with a variety
of tools than you would in your own home.

259 14 05 35 PLT But still you'd want to have th - pretty much the
ssme kind of tools. Number 2: What postural ad-
justments to accommodate task performance in zero g?
Really none. All the - all you had to do was get
yourself stabilized somewhere; hook your foot in _-_
the grids or wrap your legs around something. I
have noticed that in working with things that are
small and working with the hands that if I can put
my hands close together to work on the object; that
is, if I have to pull something loose or turn a hard
valve, if I use one hand to pull or turn, and the
other hand is right next to it with opposing reaction,
that my body doesn't twist around and that stands
to reason.

258 14 06 29 PLT However, if you turn a valve with one hand and you
have your other hand stabilizing yourself 3 feet
away, why, you're going to rotate or move. So if you
work on something that requires force with your
hands, and you don't have any foot stabilization,
the best thing is to try to get the other hand
located as close as possible to the hand that is
doing the work, so that you'll have small moment
arms to counteract.

259 14 07 O0 PLT What major muscle groups? Up here you use mostly
your arms and shoulders. The legs get the exercise
on the - on the bicycle, and that's about it. If
you really got to pull on something or tug on some-
_ 2545

thing, why your legs can get into the act if they
have a place to be stabilized, but primarily your
arms, shoulders,and hands. Very littleback work.
Very little leg - leg work. Design recommendation
for future vehicles based upon these considerations.
Well, the only one is to make sure there's plenty
of places to put your feet to anchor yourself solidly
to the deck or to the wall or wherever you need to
do your work. Foot restraints are - are the best
kind. And to have - also have handholds in those
areas where you're going to do the most work with
your hands.

259 14 07 51 PLT Question 3 - -

SPT ... I gave Tom this information on the VT ...

PLT Handling large masses was far less difficult than

handling multiple items of relatively small mass.
And when you have - it's not difficult to handle
one or two small items, but if you have many, many
small items, it is difficult to handle them, because
they all want to float in their own different direc-
tion. And all you'vegot to do is blow on them or -
or let them bump each other or touch something,
and they want to get off. You spend all your time
grabbing things to keep them from getting away.
Handling large items is very easy. It's a pleasure
to handle large items up here. In fact, it's fun
to move these big articles around that are so tough
to move on the ground. They don't tend to get away.

259 14 08 46 FLT The bigger it is, the more slowly you want to go,
but I've never had a time when I felt the object
I was holding was getting away. The - Probably
the biggest item we've used - we moved, other than -
than - say the pilot on the T020 with his suit on,
is the - The largest inan - inanimate object is
probably the - the filter and its cover over the
waste management vent, and it's very simple to move.
You just pick it up and start moving it (laughter).
And there's nothing more to say. It's a pleasure
to do it. When T027 was here, before we had to
Jettison it, or T07 - S073, it required two men.
And the rec_mnendation was that we use two men to
move it up here and also on - on 1 - S183, but it's
not necessary.
2546

259 14 09 39 PLT You Just get those items, and you move them slowly
and point them right where you want them. And you
can stop at any time and guide them or direct them
or sus - suspend them in space while you're doing
something else. And another thing it's fun to do
is to set up the S019 where you put the - the
articulated mirror system into the airlock. Just
set it up there, and if you find you haven't got
the window off the airlock yet, you Just suspend
this big object right out there and - The only thing
is that before you let loose of anything up here,
you want to make sure that it is relatively - that
it's not moving, that it's relatively stable.
And it's almost, I notice, impossible to position
something in space without imparting some motion
to it when you let go. Either your thumb or fore-
finger dosen't let go at the same time and imparts
a little motion to it, or - or when you do let go,
you're moving a little bit, and it continues to
drift.

259 14 l0 39 PLT But large objects that I mentioned are a pleasure

to move, and if you have to get - In any object, _
if you find that you got your hands too full or you
got to do something else and you don't want to set
it down anywhere, you just set it there, and it
stays there pretty well. The bigger the object,
the slower it moves; and - and you Just go about
your business doing whatever other thing you wanted
to do. And when you're ready, go back and grab it
and put it in.

259 14 ll 09 PLT Now that's short - short-time - interval-type opera-

tions. Longer times, you let things out of your
sight, why, they're gone. And they're difficult
to find sometimes. The difficulty is much the same
as it is when you're hunting for other airplanes
in the air when you're flying, and you're hunting
for a bogey that's been caSled out, or you're hunt-
ing for a target you want to shoot at. It's hard
to find it. Not because it isn't there, but it's
difficult to know where to focus your eyes. And
you can look right at it with your eyes in the wrong
focus range and not see it. The same way up here.
You're looking for something, and it's right in
front of your nose, but you can't see it because
you're focusing in the wrong direction. And the
other point is that things get away from you easy
 2547

up here. You let go of them for awhile; don't come

back to them; they're gone. You got to hunt around
for them. But if you want to set something in a
space momentarily, while you - while you reach over
and grab something else and - and get it, why
that's - it's very convenient.

PLT For example, if you want to mount a new lens on a

camera, you got to go get it out of the drawer.
You've got the camera in your hands. You got to
operate the drawer. You got to hold yourself pos-
sibly somehow. So you can't - you haven't got
enough hands. You Just let go of the camera, open
the drawer, get the lens out, and then go grab the
camera and put it on.

259 14 12 _B PLT So that's one logistic management technique, I

guess you might say. Another technique is to find
a little piece of tape or take one out of your
pocket and stick it to the wall or on a handrail
or somewhere and then stick it to the object you
want to keep there. All it takes is Just a little
bit of - of tape to - to Just very lightly fasten
_ to it, to hold it in place. So I've used that
frequently.

259 14 13 08 PLT And we've discussed the other techniques of using

strings and stuff like that before, but some of
the simpler and more straightforward devices include
tape or Just suspending it in midair. Okay,
question 4.

259 14 13 38 PLT Have we found that we could accomplish maintenance

tasks with them pretty well where they are? Yes,
we have been able to do that. Other items that
we've had to fix, like the tape recorder and so
forth, - why, we've found that it's been very con-
venient to suspend them or to say, go up to the
food locker and, using a couple of springs, sta-
bilize it there or, using the top of the waste
bins or the - on the waste management compartment,
to Velcro something to that and work on it.

259 14 14 l0 PLT And one thing that we have had difficulty with is
checklist changes and - and holding the book down
and all that. Books up here like to spread out in
their normal open position, and when they do, they
push against whatever they're resting on. And then
2548 ___

they tend to float away, and they also tend to want

to Just open to - to - They just spread open like
a fan, and you lose your place very easily Lmless
you got a rubberband around it.

259 14 14 38 PLT So I don't think you'd want a dedicated workstation

unless it was a place where you had a vice and a
couple other holddown things and a sort of a flat
table-like area where you would go to work using
the vice or something like that. But we've been
putting the vice on the deck, wherever we needed
it, and - and with a good fix to make it so we
could fix it to the grid. Okay, I guess a dedi-
cated worksite would be a - a desirable item but
not really necessary except for occasional times
when you could use some other place that's Just
like a tool bench to work. In our case it's the
food lockers.

259 14 15 32 PLT A lot of the other work - most of the other work
we've done is - It had to be done - you had to -
had to do it at the worksite. You're working on a
component that is Just fastened down. You got to do
your work where it is - on the mol sieves, on the _-_
tape recorder, or anything like that. So we've had
very few opportunities, comparatively speaking, to -
take a piece of equipment to another location,
like a workbench, and work on it.

259 14 16 O0 PLT Question 5: What's the prime method of removing

reactive forces when you must exert linear push -
or-pull forces during a task? No, let's see.
Would you recommend a dedicated, maintenance -
station, I guess, for future long-term missions?
Well, if you had a place for a small one, I think
that would be an advisable thing to do. Particu-
larly now if you're going to have lots of small
complements that you'd have to work on and - or
adjust. For example, if you had electronic boxes
that - that needed adjustments which - or - other
kinds of sensing devices that were going to be used
for long periods of time and with a detachable
portable unit or testing equipment and that sort
of thing, it would be nice to have a place to take
them like a - like an avionics, bench in a - in a
aircraft squadron.

259 14 16 57 PLT One other item that we've - It would have been nice
 2_49

to have a place to fasten down when we used it with

the voltage meter. We've - we've tested out several
cables and so forth, and that's Just a - a kind of
a bucket of worms.

259 14 18 34 PLT Okay, here we are again on 487-2D. And we were

talking about a dedicated, maintenance workstation.
I - I think in future, long-term missions, you're
probably going to have more components that you can
take loose and perform onboard maintenance on than
we've got here in Skylab. In which case, I think
it's possibly not a bad idea to have a - a place
like that where you can fasten something down,
where you can fasten your test equilmment and bring
this object you're going to work on there and take
the screws out and fasten them somewhere and make
whatever adjustments ... your test set up. So if
you have to work with equipment like the multimeter
only more sophisticated, like a radioman's kit, it'd
probably be better if you've got removable components
and be able to bring them to the testing station,
as opposed to taking the testing station to it,
unless it's pretty compact. And Just by past
_ history, the more compact it is, the less flexible
it is.

259 14 19 35 PLT Okay, what's your prime method or removing reactive

forces when you must exert a linear, push-or-pull
force during a task? All right, I guess I answered
that partially earlier. If you've got some handwork
to do, it's best to have your reactive-force hand
near the - the hand that's exerting the force on
the object. It's always best to have your feet
fastened down, if you can do it. Okay. Let's see.
Number 6 is: Have you noted a definite tendency to
establish an IVA coordinate pressure - coordinate
system as a frame of reference for locomoting and
working within the various modules and compartments
of Skylab? Well, I think you tend to orient your-
self to the way you did in one g, because that's
the way everything is made. The writing is that
way. Doors open that way and so forth. It's not
uncomfortable to go upside down on something. We
frequently do Just go upside down - whatever is
most convenient. But generally, since all your
restraint devices are one g oriented, it's a greater
to operate that way up here, too.
255O

259 14 20 53 PLT For example, I'm standing at this comm box, and it's
oriented for one g - where it's head height _hen
I'm standing on the deck. It'd be pretty tmusahle
if I tried to stand on the ceiling, because it's
only 1 foot from the ceiling. So it's Just the
way things are built to look - To look like they
were normal in one g requires that you use them
in that m-nner, although it would not be difficult
or - or undesirable to locate them so you could pull
into them in any manner. I had noticed though that
the MDA is Just a hodgepodge of All different dir-
ections. And although it doesn't impede us in what
we're doing, it seems like it's an inefficient way
to go. So to have a hodgepodge is not acceptable.
It has to be well-organized, so that there's proper
operating space for everybody and whatnot. And in
so doing, if the best need is fulfilled, why, its
orientation is not a problem nor - Let's see -
Have I - ...

259 14 22 01 PLT I don't think I've - Probably - I think, I probably -

When I go up the - from the trash airlock up to the
dome, I tend to face the sleep compartment when I
push off. Therefore, I arrive at the same orienta- _-_
tion about every time. But when I push off from
the dome area and come down to the workshop, I
notice that usuaS]y I push off in the same orien-
tation, primarily because of the orient - the loc-
ation of the hatch up there, I think. You tend to
squeeze past where it's the - the least - where you
have the most room .... most handholds to push off
on, and the hatch to just not one good one. And
so - And by the same token, going up there, you
tend to push off in an orientation where when you
get to the place you're going to, it's got the best
handholds. And the hatch is Just a big, flat area,
and nobody wants to land On it; so they always try
to go, at least I do - try to, I guess, uncon-
sciously now, head toward the opposite side of the -
the opening from where the hatch is opened on.

259 lh 23 01 PLT And so that requires that I push off in a certain

orientation when I leave the - the - the crew
compartment. And I've noticed that when I go into
the - through the airlock, why, I usually can
maintain the same orientation as I entered the
work - the airlock with from the wcrkshop area.
And this puts me in the same orientation about
 2551

every time I hit the MDA. And I guess it's sort

of a half - partial rotation to get over to the
STS or the EREP stuff in order to get out of the
way of the ATM panel.

259 l_ 2B _l PLT So I have found that I tend to - to motate [sic]

through the workshop in the same orientation going
and then another orientation, which may or may not
be the same, coming back. And I tend to - to work
in the area with respect to one g Just because
that's the way things are built. But frequently,
I - I do it otherwise. I usually float sideways
or frequently approach things upside down or what-
ever see_s to be right at the time, I guess you
might say.

259 14 2_ 19 PLT Question 7: What is your opinion concerning the

advisability of exerting design influence to stand-
a_dize the multiple types of snaps, latches, restrain-
ers, restraints, doors that you have been confronted
with aboard Skylab? Well, I know one thing that
is always -we seem to have a lot of different kinds
of is connectors, flex hoses, and - and air lines
and electricalcon - electrical connectorsand that
kind of thing. Some of them you got to push before
you turn, and some you got to pull before you rotate,
and some you got to rotate before you push, and some
of them are a real mystery. I guess the one that
is the greatest mystery of A]] is the water con-
nector in the PCU, for example. The - the dust
cover that goes on it, you never know whether to
push or pull or turn or what. You Just sort of
stand there and figure it out for a while, and
finall_ you learn it.

259 14 25 23 PLT There are some that - Most of them are pretty well
standardized, but I think it would be a definite
advantage to - to try to standardize as much as
possible, although several different kind of con-
nectors are - are not objectionable as long as
they're not a Chinese puzzle to figure out. I've
complained before about the safety hazard on the
spring bungees that we've got. The ones with the -
that come up on the co_and module, with the comw_nd-
module bungees, are okay. They're good. They don't
have a sharp hook on them, the wire hook.
 2552

259 14 26 01 PLT But the other ones that came in the workshop have
a wire hook on them. And not only is that a -
a sharp hook - And if somebody gets in the eye -
gets it in the eye, why it's all over but they're
weak; and they're starting to- they're starting
to straighten out like a straightened out fishhook.
And they don't hook so well behind - on the doors
anymore or whatever you put them on. And when you
put something under them, they're tending more to
come off now. And it's much easier to get snapped
in the eye with one of those sharp things now than
it used to be.

259 14 26 32 PLT So I think that's one - I think that's a safety

hazard myself. If I were doing it, I'd get rid
of all of them and replace them with something else
that's safer, even for Jerry's mission. Let's
see - other multiple types of latches. I've noticed
that lots of the Calfax, the rotary ones that hold
things down, have busted off and come out real easy.
And I guess probably there's four or five of them
that have come out ; little retainer rings come out,
and - and they're Just useless after that.

259 14 27 12 PLT Multiple restraints? We really don't have a lot

of multiple restraints, I don't think. So that's
not a - a bother. There are different kinds of
doors. We always use the phone-booth-type door
on the head when we go in there, and that seem to
be a good one. We hardly ever use the door on the
wardroom except to shut - shut off the lights for
T002 or whenever we're looking out the window and
want it dark there. But we - we don't use that door
otherwise. This open door is better, and the one
in the sleep compartment is the same way. We
usually put our little Velcro or our little Beta-
cloth dividers up at night Just to keep light out
and so forth. But - And they seem to work just
fine and so does the door on the - on the waste
management compartment.

259 14 28 00 PLT So it's not objectionable to have different kinds

of doors as long as they do the Jobs that they are
designed to do. So multiple things don't bother
me much. I noticed that the - the Calfax-type
latches that we have on the - the film vault and
the food trays are not as good as they ought to
 2553

be. There ought to be some better kind of device

to hold those things shut. They also are used to
hold down a variety of other things, covers and
whatnot.

259 14 28 BB PLT For example, the EREP panel cover's held down with
those kind of things and - and so are the container
boxes for SO19 equipment. And they're a nuisance.
The reason they're a nuisance is because they're -
They don't have a friction hinge, and when you get
one down to - You - you've unfastened it. There's
four of them on one of those covers. And you go
to open the cover while the other one is up, when
it's hooked, and when you get that one down there,
then another one is gone up and is hooking over the
latch. You Just got to go around pushing all those
latches down, then hoping that they stay down before
you get a cover open. And they're a doggone nuisance.

259 14 29 1B PLT If you don't have a friction hinge, a latch or -

and a door, or something like that, why it's an
unusable piece of equipment for zero g. So those
kind of latches I don't think too much of. And I
mentioned the Calfaxproblem of having poor retainer
rings. Plus, the Calfax are difficult to engage.
For example, on the - the covers for the mol sieve,
you're lucky if you can get two of them in there.
They Just don't line up good, and - or if you do
get them lined up, you got to push down extra hard
to get them to start or to make. And they're -
They do the Job once you get them in, but you got
to hunt around for the spot, and you got to push
hard to find the right hole and then crank.

259 14 JO O0 PLT And sometimes it'll ratchet close, and sometimes

it Just won't take. For example, on the mol sieve
covers, you only use one or two of them because
they're Just such a nuisance to have to run around
to line up the hole.

PLT Well, I think that's about enough on 487-2 Delta,

and if you got any more questions about what I've
said, or if I could amplify on some of my remarks,
or if I haven't explained some question well enough
for - or if I misinterpreted one of them, why please
let me know, and I'd be very happy and look forward
to clearing up the misunderstanding or the - the -
2554 _.

the remarks that I made. So this information goes

to Bob Bond over in the crew - the program office.

259 14 30 51 PLT And that's the end of this message, and best regards
to Bob and his family, by the way. Thank you.
259 14 34 15 CDR This is the CDR, and I'd like to do some M_87-2D.
Question l: Answer is that the tools have been
extremely effective and useful. We've had to use
them frequently; we've had to use a lot of them.
Now one problem I think that could be alleviated
is the high cost - simply by going down to the
store and buying a full set of tools, arranging
them in drawers so that there - the tools, them-
selves, fit together. By that I mean all the
wrenches in one drawer and all the "something
else" in another drawer, instead of semetimes
scattered around like they are now. It's been
an effort to do it, but in the desire to conserve
space, which isn't, I don't think, near as
critical as getting tools laid out in the right
way, I think you could do much better by arranging
it similar to what a mechanic would do. Tools
that we've needed: We've needed a hacksaw, we've
needed a file, and we need a sharpening stone.
And we need a - a electric drill. I think w_th
these tools, you could end up being able to do
most things. And that electric drill - You may
want to put an adapter on it to - to cut items
better. I'm not sure. Oh, yes, one other thing
we needed up here. We needed a pair of good
dykes, which weren't available and good for wire
cutting. And we needed a good pair of strong
wireeutters. We had to use the wirecutters and
cable cutters like we use for EVA for standup EVA
use, to cut out some brackets near the hatch to
look for leaks in the vacuum system. My suspicion
would be that we need to - And I'll mention that.
We need to just get some good - good, sturdy,
cablelike cutters up here. Last, we're always
hunting leaks up here (either coolant leaks or
vacuum leaks or something like that), and you need
a leak detector. If they told us before we came
here that you couldn't find leaks in - in the
spacecraft to the outside because it wouldn't
make any noise, that's the biggest farce in the
world. We've had two or three holes in the
spacecraft, one to dump 02 out of the command module.
259 14 36 38 CDR I opened it up myself, put a probe in there,
and you sure can hear it. So there's no
reason to believe that an audio, leak detec-
tor couldn't be invented to do the Job up here,
which is certainly a needed thing. More than
that, you need something that you can intro-
duce a small amount of this radioactive mate-
rial in it and then run around with a little
sniffer, same as they do on ground, because it
looks like that's going to be a continuing prob-
lem up here.

259 14 37 06 CDR What postural adjustments have you had to make in

order to accommodate task performance in zero g?
Not too much. What major muscle groups do you
employ in zero g? You employ your - your arms a
little bit more, I guess, because a lot of times
you're not inposition to use your legs. Now when
you are in a position to use your legs, then you'll
use your legs differently. Mostly, on the ground,
you use them in tension or - or Just compression.
Here, a lot of times you wrap them around something
and squeeze down on them. A tank, or you wedge your
feet in a door. Like right now I'm kind of floating
up in my compartment, and to hold myself steady,
I'm pushing back on one side of the door with my
left he - heel, Achilles tendon, and I'm pushing
forward with my right toe; and that keeps me nice
and stable. Now on Earth, I'd Just be standing
on the floor. So you tend to use little, different
tricks. Takes you a while to learn to grab in
different ways. You tend to want to stand up
upright, and after a while, you Just look around
for somewhere to put your feet. It may not be
upright or upside down or Just a better view, but
a better visibility for what job you're doing.
By the way, another thing you need in the way of
the tool kit is you need a good light. You need -
We already t_Iked about workbench last time, but
you need a good light that you can wear on your
head. Now we have one over there that ought to
have a little frosted glass on it; it would be
adequate. I think it needs maybe a few more
batteries, or it needs to be made so that it fits
the entertainment kit batteries, so you don't
Just have one battery aboard. And then the
tendency wouldn't be using one. That's what you need.
2556 _,

259 14 38 40 CDR Would you offer any design recommendation for

future vehicles, based on these considerations?
Yes. The main one is you got to have a floor
everywhere that you can grip to somehow, like this
triangle grid. Triangle grids have been great.
They've been one of the nicest things here, and
it would have been really tough if we hadn't had
it. And I'm Just wondering - In this spacecraft,
do you want to triangle grid it, or you want to
end up with some sort of magnetic shoes or some
other technique. But you've got to have the ability
to get your feet locked down. Up at the EREP
panel, the C&D does have that ability. It's easy
to work that. The - VTR does not have handholds, and
so when you let go of the handholds to turn a
map or something, the whole thing goes to pieces.
So you've got to have your feet placed down, and
that's probably the most important thing. Our
large masses are far less difficult. They're
more fun to handle, because you think - you realize
how you'd - you'd have to do it on Earth. You
tend to spin them and hold them in one hand and
leave them floating, and it's great. It's one
of the nicest things. Now large masses, I think, _"
are easy to handle; no sweat there. Small masses,
like screws and things, are difficult. I would
think that _'re going to have to come up with
some device like a spring where you pick up in
the coils of the spring, which might not be a
bad idea. Or some sort of a bag where you can lay
them out. We've been using tapes. That works
fairly satisfactory, but it looks awful rudimentary.
And something could be invented to hold things.
We're thinking of screws and washers and the like,
anything small. Anything bigger than a screwdriver
is no sweat.

259 14 40 26 CDR Have you found you could accomplish maintenance

tasks reasonably well? Reasonably, I'd say, ...
well without having -without having a work space.
You reslly do need a workbench with rubber -
insulated boards with hookups, so you can power
this equipment. Right now, we've got a probe, but
nobody - It checks out great not under power, and
everybody's been afraid to power it up because
somebody's liable to get burned. Ridiculous.
First of all, we could do it here with a vice.
You need a workbench with a vice, some electrical
_ 2557

power, some way to hold it. You got your volt -

voltmeter there and grippers from the experiments;
so whatever is bolted, you take over and strap
down to the table and work on it. Now you have
to strap it to the floor, and you don't have any
lights. You bring your flashlight. A lot of
other problems involved. Definitely there's -
Just like on - No difference up here than on Earth.
You wouldn't think of working on precision,
electronic gear on the floor on Earth. You'd
have a nice bench for it.

259 14 41 18 CDR What is your prime method of removing reactive

forces when you must exert linear push-or-pull
forces during a task? I think, "Somehow get the
feet down; torque gently with the other hand."
I haven't had problems with either unless you're
in a place where you can't get your legs into
position. Have you noted a tendency to establish
an IVA coordinate system? Yes, you tend to Just
like you did on Earth. In fact, I think it tends
to hold you back up here somewhat, because you
generally move to a station that way. It allows
you to reach things; it allows you to move into
position. But it - You have to remember and say,
"Hey, I could work out this thing the other d -
way; it'd be easier." So you have to be careful,
or you fall into the trap of trying to always do
it with that reference frame, whatever it is ....
and then it allows you to orient yourself easily
in space.

259 14 _2 13 CDE The application you feel it should have: I think

you should design it with a definite orientation
in mind, because that makes everything uniform.
It makes you, when you go some - into a site,
know how you got to operate without having to
figure it out. Now if you get - Let's say you're
going to go up and work on a water tank. When you
get there, you spend quite awhile flipping around
to different places. And when you flip around,
you'll find that sometimes you're working with
your foot in a switch it shouldn't be in. Going
up and looking out the STS windows, we've turned
off the switches up there two or three times.
It's a ridiculous thing to do. There ought to be
a way to operate at those windows where switches
are out of the way, yet you have the ability to see
_558

out the window in all directions you want to go.

So you ought to have design with one orientation
in mind. But you, yourself, be flexible enough to
change, have things protected, realizing that people
make changes.

259 14 43 ii CDR What is your opinion concerning the advisability

of exerting design influence to standardize the
multiple types of snaps? Every snap ought to be
the same. I agree with that. Latches: As good
as possible. Retainers: I don't think you ought
to do it after the thing is - is built except in
areas where - liketrash bags and utility bags,
things like that. These little holders for
clothes: All that ought to be standarized and not
try to assess something better than we got. Springs
on the door: They ought to be standarized. A
lot of that ought to be standarized. But once a
piece of - Once you go buy a piece of gear, you
shouldn't change it over. You should try to take
it like it is, because we do have a lot of flexi-
bility. We haven't - One thing I've noticed here is
we overkill the personal problems. We could work
with a lot less human engineering than we have.
Now we could do away with almost everything we
have and still survive up here, which gives me
the feeling we've spent a lot of money getting
things standarized to Just perfect. I suspicion
what we ought to do next time is not do that but
put out scme specs to begin with for all experiments,
beforehand. And say Just use these latches, this
and this, and here's where you get them. Okay, if
we get an off-the-shelf item, take it like it is.
But have the specs out in plenty of time to get
the other correct. One of the biggest complaints
I've got about stowage around here is we've got
all this stowage so neatly placed to waste, partic-
ularly in the command module. We've got straps,
bags in bags. Ridiculous. All we ought to have
is mounting - little compartments. You open the
compartment, stuff your thing in there, and if you
need anything to put it in there, Just a little tab
of Velcro will keep it in. Like these springs on
the front of the - of the box that houses the flight
data file. We got those; we talked about springs
now, all sort of thing. Now one of those springs
broke, and we like it better without the spring.
 2559

The stuff doesn't come out of there. You Just keep

it in there.

259 14 45 12 CDR Now if you're talking about little nuts and bolts,
if you get the little individual items, you're
goingto have to hold them in someway. But the
best way to hold them in there is Just get them
like they are, put a little tab of Velcro on it
and a little tab of Velcro nearby, and Just snap
it in. Get rid of all the bags. You got way too
much bags; Beta bags by the thousands in this place.
Every time you open a drawer, there's a hag. You
open the bag; let's say you want a penlight. You
open the drawer - the door down in the bottom
shelf. Next, you open the Beta-cloth flap, pull
out a bag, and in this bag are a bunch of flash-
lights in little holders. Wouldn't it have been
better to take the doggone little flashlight holders,
if you want to put them in holders, fold it up,
and Just shove it in the door there with a little
piece of Velcro to hold them down? You pull it
out and open it up. And we found that to be much
simpler. Now that completes 487-2.

TIME SKIP

259 15 19 13 CDR This is the CDR with some information from EREP -
for EREP. We've reached time to, in other words
20 minutes, since the 192 has been on. I'm in
MODE, CHECK; and I'm going to record D-6 at this
time. D-6 is 57 percent, 57 percent. CDR out.
That's information for EREP. We'll be back in a
few moments.

259 15 23 21 CDR Information for Ted Guillory. Ted, suggest - We

tried those magnetic devices out on the tape with
the top of the food trays and they work real good.
I'd recommend that we come up with a - first of
all, as you know, you're going to have - Maybe you
don't know. We're Just about out of the tape you
sent up. And, also, it's bad tape; too hard.
Next mission, how about sending up some regular
Scotch frosted tape instead of this tough stuff
we've got. It's too hard to cut. Also, you might
 2560

look at modifying that serrated edge and put a

regular Scotch one on. This one - the teeth are
too big, and it Just - it Just - it Just is ridic-
ulous to have to use something like this when the
one on the market is so much better.

259 15 2_ 05 CDR The metal holder is good with one exception. We

need to get one with a - a magnet as part of it,
so on one side we'd have Velcro, the other side
we'd have a magnet. That way you could Velcro it
to the wall where you need to; and magnetic the
part to the top of the table. That would be good.
Now even a better way would somehow be to get a
little fastener on the bottom so when you put it
on your - top of your food tray and wanted to use
it to update checklists and things, then you wouldn't
have to hold it in your other hand. You can do a
one-handed operation. And I think that could be
done simply by putting some sort of fixture that
would intarface with the holders on the side of
the box - or on the side of the food tray. Those
little indents there onthe side of the tray or
one that would interface somehow with the universal -
the abbreviated universal mount that's on the top _
there on the side of the food tray.

259 15 24 56 CDR So those sorts of things, I believe, would -

would facilitate the work. Now the one that works
really good is that little blue one that you lay
on its side and stick things under it. I sure
wish we - That principle could be used to - to
great advantage up here. We Just have to think
about how we might want to use them. Now maybe
use a couple of them that keeps your thing rolled
out - your teleprinter paper would tend to curl
up, roll out; but we're going to start using those
more. CDR out. That goes to Ted Guillory.

259 15 25 38 CDR Another note to Ted Guillory. Maybe if we took

those magnetic ones and made the other kind, not
the blue ones, and made the distance between them
the same size as the book, somehow they would be
more useful. CDR out.

259 15 27 57 CDR CDR with information for EREP. I just checked

D-6 again and it's still at 58 percent, 57 -
58 percent. It's har- hard to tell. Okay, we're

 2567

259 15 51 54 CDR Both lights are on at the moment. That's the

way it's ... I remembered. That the little READY
stayed on all the time anyhow. ALTIM - Now the
READY Just went out. ALTIMETER UNLOCK still on.
Still the same. Okay, READY. I'm in READY for
92 - 192. READY out, ALTIMETER UNLOCK. I must have
_one through a sequence, I guess. How far off
track were you for Delaware, Jack?

259 15 52 40 PLT Oh, about 20 to the right. Okay, now another

nadir swath at 03:19, count the time. Okay, Bruce,
I got a site there 615A; I got that one, too.

CC We copy.

PLT Kind of hazy down here, but I can see it. And I
got a little nadir on 425, too. Not as much as I
wanted because I had to get off.

CC Roger, Jack.

259 15 53 33 PLT So, in surmnary, we got 305 south, 308, 307, 314.

CDR Going to 20.

PLT A little bit on 425, and a good bit on 615 Alfa.

Standing by for a swath. It's a long ways off.
And we've got that nadir swath at 47:40, although
there were some clouds down there, Just a few
little puffy scattered things now and then and I
got them anyway.

PLT Maneuver at 16:08 - plenty of time.

CC Request another A-l, B-1 when you got a chance, A1.

259 15 54 34 CDR All right, I will in Just a few seconds. A-I is

39 and B-1 is 44, okay, we got READY - CHECK, I'm
sorry. CHECK on 192. Standing by for A to STANDBY
again.

259 15 55 00 CDR A to STANDBY; MODE to 5; RANGE, 65. Okay, we've

got that. Now I'll watch A when it comes on here
again and tell you what's new. A-l, B-1. A-1 is
about 46; B-l's about 53 right now. 55:30. Standing
by for it.
2568

259 15 55 30 CDR #'s, ON; READY's on; ALTIMETER UNLOCK out.

PLT Six. 19 minutes. Now we're out over the blue.

259 15 55 h8 CDR ALTIMETER UNLOCK, on; READY, on. ALTI_TER UNLOCK

and READY continue on. When I called it, that's
when it came on. Right then.

259 15 56 ll CDR READY out on 193. ALTIMETER UNLOCK on, still.

Same sequence as last time. A-l, h0; B-l, hh. READY

259 15 56 57 CC Roger, Owen, 61 frames on the ETC, 1 minute to

LOS. Next station contact through Madrid in
5 minutes at 16:02. Out.

CDR Olel Ole, amigo. Adios! Standing by for 59:50.

PLT Good hunting today.

CDR Sounded like it.

PLT Right on. Not bad weather down here at all.

259 15 57 38 CDR The ALTI_[ETER doesn't seem to be working.

CDR Goes through a - kind of a sequence, and then it

unlocks, and that's it.

CC We think - we think it never locks on, A1. We're - -

CDR That's what I mean.

CC - - reaching the same conclusion though.

CDR Right, it Just hops around for a while and then

finally says that's it.

PLT Got the right altitude in there, hey?

CDR Well -
 2569

CC Yes, it looks good to us.

CDR Yes.

PLT I know you do. Z Just thought it seems like a

little short - the numbers, but -

CDR 59:50.

PLT Well - This one, next one. 10, 30 -

259 15 59 50 CDR A to STANDBY.

259 16 O0 01 CDR A, OFF.

PLT Means we're going to run out some more - another

roll of tape on the next one.

CDR Yes, there' s still some more down there, I notice.

259 16 01 30 PLT Way over the Atlantic - way up over there.

CDR ...

PLT Some - somewhere up in here about - I got a

nadir swath to do here, yet.

CDR •••

PLT Clouds over - clouds and cold air mass.

CDR ...

PLT Houston was open today too. Too far off the left
though.

CDR •••

259 16 02 22 CC Skylab, this is Houston through Madrid. With you

for 6-1/2 minutes. You may get a TACS firing.

SPT Okay, we're going to go INHIBIT that CAUTION and

WARNING now.

CC Okay.

259 16 02 54 CDR Okay, it's INHIBITED. Yes, we appreciate knowing

2570

about those, it saves excitement in the end there,

right in the middle of when we're trying to do this.

259 16 03 19 SPT _RK. DAC, on.

PLT Okay, there's scattered clouds down there, some

big ones and some little ones. Underneath that,
lots of blue water. Every once in a while we hit
some clouds and then every once in a while again,
we hit some water, you might expect. Looks like
the clouds are getting a little more predominant.

CC CDR, Houston.

CDR Go ahead.

259 16 04 01 CC Roger. For your information on 193, the angles,

A-1 and B-l, should be 56 and 57, that corresponding
to a minus 0.6 degrees and minus 0.7 degrees. These
are not correlating with the - the coarse angles
that you've been reading us off B-0 and D-9, and
we also see the antenna wandering, so that Just
lets you know what we think the status of the
antenna drive is for the altimeter. Over.

CDR Sounds kind of grim.

CC It does and after you all start the maneuver back

to SI here at 16:08, I believe, we'd like you to
enter the maneuvering time for the next Z-LV ma-
neuver as rapidly as is convenient so we can watch
it before we go over the hill. We've only got
about a minute - or a minute and a quarter between
starting maneuver back to SI and LOS here at Madrid.

259 16 04 51 CDR I'ii give Jack my pad, and he can do it right after
he goes.

PLT There it is.

CDR ... pad, and it's a 37 - 34 minute maneuver time.

42 lockup.

PLT Okay.

CC Charlie.

CDR Well, everything's okay. We'll do it for you.

Keepus outof trouble.
 2571

PLT 651. We're nadir swathing now. We're getting

some good cloud coverage; just what _'re after.
Looks like mostly high stuff - kind of wispy cirrus
only it's fairly immense. And there's some scat-
tered small cumulus clouds underneath it.

259 16 05 37 CDR MODE, READY on 92.

PLT We're _]most out of DAC here, Bruce.

CC Roger. We copy. I don't know what we can do

about it in the middle of the pass though.

PLT Well, I was thinking about for the next pass.

Actually, it says we've got 40 percent, but the
last one ran about 30 and I don't trust that little
measuring device too much. Even when it was full,
it didn't read full either.

259 16 06 16 CDR MODE, AUTO.

PLT Okay, 651 coming up here. Got some cons down there
we took data across, too. Oh, my goodness! We're
._ comingoverland.

259 16 06 45 CDR STANDBY on 92.

PLT Boy, look at the cons down there. Wonder if that's

Ireland.

259 16 06 50 CDR REFERENCE 2.

259 16 06 51 PLT MARK. DAC, off.

CDR READY out in 7 minutes, it says here.

PLT It couldn't have been. We must be over France

already.

259 16 07 05 CDR MODE, MANUAL. 07:50 I've got to do a VTS, AUTO

CA/J.

PLT Be my guest.

CDR And you've got about 50 seconds to maneuver.

PLT Yes, I'm going - going to amble on - -

CDR ...
 PLT - - back in this direction here.

CDR 07:50. Getting ready to punch the SI button.

CDR That England we Just passed over?

PLT I think it's France.

CDR No, the water's too wide_ I wonder what it was.

PLT Well, on the map there it looks like it was France ;

maybe it's somewhere else. Okay, 8 coming up,

259 16 07 50 CDR Okay, AUTO CAL. You've got an SI maneuver coming

off in 2 seconds.

PLT 8, 9, SI.

259 16 08 00 PLT MARK. No mibs.

CDR No mlbs.

PLT Okay. Now Bruce wants to look at this maneuver

time. CLEAR, 52030, CHECK, ENTER/U, CLEAR. 50042, "_
CHECK, ENTER/U, CLEAR. How you like that, Bruce?

259 16 08 30 CC Okay, maneuver time you have loaded is good. We're

about 40 seconds to LOS. Next station contact is
Honeysuckle at 16:h8 in about _0 minutes. And
if you run out of DAC film next pass, CX08,
Charlie X-ray 08, out of India 8 is the magazine
to use. I suggest that perhaps you ought to put
it in your pocket and have it on hand anyway
during this - the run so you can swap out if you
need to. Over.

PLT Yes, sir, that's a good idea, Bruce. Thank you.

India 8 for CX08.

CC Roger. Out.

259 16 09 05 CC In passing, for the SPT as we go over the hill, we

believe that we have his entire conversation re-
garding the message to Goddard. What they did is,
they brought up one of the experiment tape recorders
and got the voice on it that was dumped down later,
We're trying to track it down and piece it together.

SPT Okay,thankyou Bruce. _-_

 _, 2573

r
259 16 09 22 CC And in that case, the READY light would have gone
out, because we did not change the designation.

SPT Okay.

CDR Keeping the crew informed.

PLT Ring-a-ding-ding! Here we go. Turn this stuff

off. Put this up and wait for the next one.

CDR 10:30 is the next act, which means turn off the
EREP.

PLT Okay, I got to go into my act over there at what

time? It says here - 16:25, which is exactly
15 minutes.

CDR 10:30, I'm looking for. It's now 10:O1.

259 16 l0 29 CDR STOP. Okay, that's done.

PLT Release film advance carriage it says for me.

CDR Okay, let's put that in the pocket so it won't

get in anybody's way, You left the maneuver pad
up there, I assume.

PLT Yes, sir. I didn't load your new angles in or

yo_r - -

CDR Okay, that 's okay.

PLT - - fine maneuvers.

CDR Excellent.

PLT Plenty of time for that.

259 16 l0 50 CDR Voice record B-7. B-7 for EREP is 31 percent.

92 DOOR coming CLOSED. Close and latch 190 window.
I'll close it if somebody'll latch it.

Delta 3. Delta 4 is 71 percent - and that's okay;
Delta 5 is 14 percent, okay; Delta 6 is 57 percent,
okay. And let me give you a - a few more here that
you'd like to have. In order, Bravo 7 is 31 percent;
Bravo 8 is 1 percent; Charlie 7 is 59 percent,
which is less than 80, so we'll keep the 191 COOLER,
ON, and Delta 6 was 57 percent. Okay, now looks
like we ought to get S192 MODE to READY and get
the DOOR, OPEN. The OPEN switch is switched. WeIll
check the 190 HEATER SWITCH light to be off. We'll
PRESS TO temp - TEST the T_MPERATURE and OVERTEMP
light on ll7 and they work okay.

259 17 08 35 PLT Let's go on with the preoperate configuration.

And pretty soon, 192 will be ready. Okay, we got

the TAPE RECORDER POWER, ON. The READY light is on.

191: The POWER is ON; the READY light is on; the
COOLER is ON; the DOOR is always OPEN. 190: The
P0_TR is ON; the READY LIGHT is out, and I hear the

CHECK, the DOOR is OPEN; DOOR CLOSED light is
not on. That's okay. We're standing by for 17:12.

CDR Aha! Ha ha.

PLT Gotcha, huh?

259 17 ii 08 PLT Yes, they're pretty close.

PLT Huh?

CDR I'll get all the straps off and all that stuff.
You can kind of mount them llke, however they mount.

PLT Okay.

259 17 13 20 CDR Get that job out of the way. Any Jobs we can
think of like that, we ought to start planning
them.

CDR Got the command module - All the stuff we had in

there in temporary is gone. The only thing that's
in there that's got to come about, except one bag,
is our constant wear garments that we wear for
entry. _--_

PLT Where are they located?

CDR Command module in those ... All the rest of the

stuff is out of there.

PLT I couldn't find my TSB in there. It must have

gotten moved or put somewhere.

259 17 13 58 CDR Your TSB was moved to put - I think yours is the
TSB now that has the two - No, yours isn't moved.
Owen's is the one that's got ... - -

PLT Down here? There was one behind my head there

259 17 14 37 CDR Okay.

PLT *** over the ocean.

CDR We're over the very calm Pacific. Pacific -

Pacific.

259 17 15 00 PLT Standing by for 15:5&. We're going to get the

193 ALTIMETER, ON.

CDR Pacifico is fickle.

PLT ... we sit in MODE 1 and RANGE, 60, and hope.

CDR (Singing) By the time I get to Phoenix, I'll be

sleeping. (Whistling)

PLT Stand by.

259 17 15 53 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER, ON. The READY light's on. The
ALTIMETER UNLOCK light is on immediately.

259 17 15 59 PLT MARK. EKEP to START. MALF light on and off and

PLT What 's today, Saturday or Sunday?

CDR Sunday, your day off - naturally.

PLT Oh.

CDR Day of rest for you.

PLT Yes. That was kind of a ho-hum day.

2578

CDR Yes, you'll never miss it.

259 17 17 O0 PLT M_K. AUTO CAL. Record Alfa 2 and Charlie h.

Alfa 2 is 50 percent. Charlie h is 71 percent.

259 17 17 21 PLT And the READY light is out on the ALTIMETER,

193ALTIMETER; the READY light is out. You notice
I didn't know exactly when it went out, but it is
out now.

259 17 17 31 CC Skylab, Houston. With you for about 17mlnutes -

or about 9 minutes through Corpus Christi and
Goldstone. And if CDR has a minute, could he peek
outside to see what the position of the 193 alt -
193 antenna is?

CDR He most certainly can. He can go to window i.

259 17 17 49 PLT Okay, 193 ALTIMETER, I put ON. The READY light and
ALTIMETER lock - UNLOCK light came on together,
Bruce. And, subsequently - I don't know exactly
what time - the READY light went out. And Alfa i,
at the moment, is reading 39 percent. Delta 9
is reading 7 percent. Charlie zero is 2 percent.

CDR I would say the altimeter [sic] is centered in

roll and pointed 45 degrees down from the X-axis
towards the plus-Y - correction, plus - or minus-Z,
that is. So it's the same thing I called the
"stowed" position the other day.

259 17 18 29 PLT And Bravo l, for your info, is reading 44 percent.

Bravo zero is reading 57 percent. And Delta zero
is reading off-scale low.

CDR Did you copy, Bruce?

CC Yes, I did, A1. We're not sure we understand you.

Is it pointed out along the minus Z-axis? Over.

CDR It's pointed part way that way. It's halfway be-
tween the minus-Z and the plus-X.

CC Oh, it's pointed sort to its forward limits.

259 17 18 58 CDR I don't - I don't know, because the other day when
 257_

it would move forward, it moved much closer to the

X-axis.

CC Okay, we copy, but it's about 45 degrees forward

of the minus-Z?

CDR That's exactly right. Once again, you've said it

right.

CC It's not a matter of right. I'm just trying to

make sure we understand what we're saying to
each other.

CDE No, that's what I mean. That's precisely what I

mean. We communicated.

259 17 19 35 PLT Okay, if I can get a 191 READY light here momen-
tarily.

259 17 19 39 PLT MARK. It's on. Okay.

259 17 19 40 CDR We're now crossing Baja California.

and see ... - -

259 17 19 46 PLT MAP K. ALTI_iETER to STANDBY.

CC And, CDR, it should have been pointing right down

the minus Z-axis. Did you notice any motion in
the antenna?

CDR None. It's stationary, as if it were parked.

PLT Okay, we're going to go to ALTIMETER, ON in a

minute, here.

CDR We're now crossing the upper part of Baja ... - -

259 17 20 00 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER, ON. I got a READY light and

the UNLOCK light is out now, Bruce.

CDR I gather we couldn't get any true sites at Phoenix.

259 17 20 26 PLT TAPE MOTION light is doing its right thing. Alfa 2
is - -

CDR We're a]most out of Mexico and in New Mexico.

PLT - - 44 percent, which is a little bit low.

CDR Phoenix is clear. I can see site ... - -

PLT Charlie
4 is 70 percent.

CDR I will refrain from taking them though.

PLT Charlie 4 is 70 percent - -

CDR ... and clear. Be a good day for ... - -

PLT And that's good for Charlie 4.

CDR But I guess we can't get them. We Just passed

over the first site. I think it's number - -

PLT You ready for another set of readouts, Bruce?

CDR - - 240.

CC Go, Jack.

259 17 20 59 PLT Okay, I want to give you Alfa i to be 39 percent;

Delta 9 to be 7 percent. Charlie zero is reading
2 percent. Bravo 1 is 44 percent. Bravo zero
is l0 percent, and Delta zero is off-scale low.
Okay, 21:46 is next.

CDR We're looking for ... - -

PLT TAPE MOTION light did its right thing.

CDR Got scattered clouds, scattered to broken.

PLT How you doing down there, Big 0.?

SPT Greatl

CDR Got you door open?

SPT ..,

PLT Attaboy!

CDR 22:50 is what we're looking for. Zoom in a little

bit. I don't like to be pulled back right now.
Hard to see anything down there pulled back. We're
looking for 22:50.

PLT Okay, that's pretty soon, A1. 25 seconds.

CDR Okay, it's scattered to broken clouds. It's going

to he a tossup. 22:50.

and ON, right?

CC ALTIMETER to OFF.

259 17 23 38 PLT It's OFF, left off, and next motion is - 192.
Okay?

CDR We're taking multiple datas [sic].

259 17 24 52 CDE MARK. STANDBY on 192. Okay, standing by for

INTERVALS to 20.

259 17 25 08 PLT MARK. INTERVALS to 20 on 190.

CDR I'll go over and check the old antenna again for
you while we wait.

259 17 25 17 PLT Say, Bruce, in doing the warmups on the 194, I

put the switch to STANDBY instead of all the way
to ON. And I didn't catch it until about 05. And
I put it on ON that ti - at the time, and then I
waited around for the READY light to come on before
I did a MODE to MANUAL. And it came on after its
normal start time, and so I did a MODE, MANUAL.
And so it started taking data after its calibrate,
just a little bit later than is in the pad. So
when the 194 guy looks at his data, that's what
happened.

259 17 25 55 CC Okay, Jack. Hey, STANDBY and ON on that particular

experiment are exactly the same. Makes no difference.

PLT All right. Just the light wasn't on then. I did

a MANUAL on the right time, and so it's working
okay then.

CDR Also, I Just checked the old antenna, and it's

still in the - what we call "stowed" position

259 17 29 54 CC Okay. Well, that's - Yes, we're aware of that,

and we're worrying that problem down here.

PLT I thought you were. I Just wanted to mAKe sure

that I hadn't overlooked some that was laying around
somewhere. That was - consistent with my inventory
as well.

CC All right, Jack; I guess we're standing by for the

report from the SPT on how many ETC frames he took.

259 17 30 14 SPT 40.

CC Thank you, Owen.

259 17 30 2h CC And for your information, the last EREP tape

recorder tape load will be done this afternoon also.

CC Hey, but also, we've got a - a .,. tape on the

other tape recorder which we will try to use in
sequence.

PLT You're using up the only other one we got, huh?

CC If you change it out this afternoon, you should have

two recorders, each loaded with tapes.

PLT Okay. Okay, I'm waiting for a READY light on 191;

coming in to AUTO CAL, l0 minutes and *** seconds.

259 1V 31 28 PLT MARK; 2 seconds early on it. Okay. But that's

all right.

259 17 31 32 PLT And we'll go to STOP how, and then we're going to
run this beauty out. Now the postchecklist says
to do this: Voice record B-7 to my friend Bruce
down there. And that is reading 31 percent. DOOR,
CLOSED. Waiting for the light. We're going to
close this here 190 window. If you'll latch it
when I get it closed, please. ._

259 17 32 O1 PLT It's last - it's closed. And now it's latched.
Very well.

259 17 32 05 PLT RECORD switch, OFF.

259 17 32 07 PLT Thank you EREP folks for listening to all this.

TIME SKIP

259 19 29 56 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A, and

the subject is the debriefing of the last ATM rev,
which began at 18:34. We ran off a JOP 6 two times
at different rolls and skipped TV down-link, and
we got three JOP 2F's right on time and nothing
unusual to report this orbit. I made my daily
sketch of the corona. And over there on the east
limb, everything looks about the same, not too
much different - one very nice and bright streamer.

259 19 30 32 PLT And over on the west limb, we've got a couple of
nice bright streamers, too, not a whole lot dif-
ferent than yesterday, however. So the ones in the
 2587

corona today, why, things don't appear to have

changeda wholeheck of a lot. And nothingsignif-
icant to report from our observations up here.
So thatconcludes debriefing for thisrev,and
we'll see you again in about a half hour.

259 19 30 56 PLT Thank you.

TIME SKIP

259 21 08 46 SPT You turn that to RECORDER, ON, yes.

SPT Do you? Okay. Okay. I've already got it, Jack,

thank you. Okay. Let's talk for a little bit
about spinning objects in zero g. Some of you
may have seen our attempts to spin little
drink bags or drink bottles and things like this.
And it's always a little difficult to get them
oscillating and spinning without imparting just
a little bit of tumble at the same time. So we
have found a more convenient way to set objects
spinning. And to illustrate that, I'm going to
borrow part of the apparatus from the student
experimenters. This is the device that really
belongs to Vincent Converse from up in Rockford,
Illinois. And we've used it before as a means
of measuring mass. You put the mass on the end,
and then the vibration of this spring will meas-
ure the mass for you. And I'd like to borrow it
for another purpose right now and show how we can
use this large bolt and nut for the purpose of a
launching platform.

259 21 l0 02 SPT Now these are large masses - not too large - but
these are the masses, at any rate, that were used
in the measurement of the period of this oscilla-
tion. So let's take a look at what happens when
they spin them off. As you can see, they spin
off this bolt very freely, and the nut then con-
tinues to spin very, very smoothly and stably in
space. I'll catch it now and bring it back and
put it on again. And if I'm very careful how I
hold this large launching platform, why, it will
make sure that the launching of the bolt is
equally stable. Now I'll try to brace my arm a
littlebit more firmly.
2588 _,

259 21 i0 49 SPT Now you can see the bolt comes off, spinning
fairly rapidly. I doubt if you can see the rpm,
but it's probably spinning at 3 or 4 revolutions
per second now. And the first thing that I want
you to note is the fact that its orientation in
space stays very precisely the same. It doesn't
move around. Its spin vector is Just exactly in
the direction that I launched it. And it really
can be oriented in any way. It doesn't make any
difference how I hold this launch platform as
long as I hold it stable. When the bolt comes
free, the little disk - in this case the bolt -
continues to spin in Just the same direction that
it was launched.

259 21 ll B1 SPT Well, things are a little different when we in-

clude a little magnet in the operation. And what
I've done now is to take another of those same
bolts - What I've done is to take another of those
same bolts, but I've strapped a little magnet to
the top of it. Now it is a magnet, as you can
see, because when I release it, it orients itself
with the magnetic field, which is now along a
direction like this.

259 21 12 04 SPT And just to compare and to check that, I'll take
another of these little bar magnets and hold it
out in the same direction. You see, I must keep
these magnets fairly far apart, because they'll
affect each other. And so that's about the di-
rection of the Earth's field right now. We have
to keep checking that because, as we orbit the
Earth, the direction of the Earth's field keeps
changing. And now I'll put this out here and you
see it'll orient itself in Just the same way, with
this side being the north pole, and the opposite
side, next to the disk, the south pole. As a
matter of fact, these magnets influence each other
over quite a large distance before we begin
spinning. You'll notice, for example, for what
a distance they will interact with each other.

259 21 12 5_ SPT But now that we've established that this is the
direction of the Earth's field, let's set them to
spinning. I'm going to try to spin these initially
in just the direction they were oriented by
themselves. Okay, now this is just about the
orientation they was at, parallel to the Earth's
 2589

magnetic field. And when I set them spinning, you

see once again they continueto spin pretty nearly
stably about the direction in which it was launched.
Now you can see a little bit of wobble there,
and I'll try to explain that in just a minute.

259 21 13 38 SPT But the next thing I want to show is - when I

tip these in a direction perpendicular to that,
if it's not spinning, watch what it does. You
see, it spins right over and turns parallel to
the Earth's field so that its spin axis - or its
axis through the disk - is oriented with the
Earth's field Just the way it was before. That's
its normal tendency - is to tip right over and
align its own dipole with the direction of the
Earth's field. Now I'm going to spin it about
this direction, and we'll see what its reaction
is.

259 21 14 19 8PT All right, now it's more or less - spin axis
perpendicular to the Earth's field at this point.
Now we have to watch it for just a minute here,
but the thing that I want you to observe is the
fact its spin axis is tippingover in another
direction. You see how it's now tipped over to
the point where it's _]most facing the camera.
And now it has. It's tipped about 90 degrees,
but not towards the Earth's field, which is off
to my right. Instead, it is tipped over towards
the camera. Now this is called precession. And
it is produced by the fact that whenever we have
a spinning object, and we try to torque it or
twist it in a direction perpendicular to its spin
axis, then it will actually react by tipping in
yet the other orthogonal direction. And it has
caused, in this case, the spinning disk to
precess perpendicular to both its original spin
direction and the direction of the Earth's mag-
netic field.

259 21 15 25 SPT So that's a property of gyroscopes that can be

observed, and is observed, on the ground. But
it's not quite as conveniently observed as it is
here in zero g, because we have no other forces
acting on our gyro - in this case, the spinning
disk. We don't have any gimbals that ho - that
have to hold it, and there's no other perturbing
factors here in zero g. I'll try that one more
259O

time. There it is spinning, and instead of tip-

ping over towards the Earth's field, it seems to
be beginning to tip towards the camera, precessing
90 degrees from the direction that it would have
if - if it had not been spinning. There, it's
precessed about 90 degrees in those few seconds.

259 21 16 08 SPT And it will continue to spin right on around - to

precess right on around in the direction that it's
going. Now it's precessed ,Imost 180 degrees.
Now we'll go back and check the Earth's field
once more. We'll see whether or not it's changed.
Take another of my little magnets. And it may
have changed a little bit, but not a great deal,
in the time that we have been talking. But these
magnets are already influencing each other, as
you can see. And they will align themselves Just
like that, in the direction of the Earth's field.
And as we saw before, there is no precession.
Okay. We'll try to spin it with this extra little
magnet on top. It may - it has to be very pre-
cisely aligned with the spin axis, or the extra
little perturbations that are given cause it to
wobble off to one side, like that.

259 21 17 18 SPT Now you can see this very strange behavior. I'll
try to explain what is causing this. And it's
related to that little wobble that we saw before.
Now you see it'll spin pretty stable for a few
seconds and then it'll stop. It'll tumble all out
of direction, and then it'll stabilize again.
Now if you can explain this properly, why it'll
probably be a very challenging task. But I'll
give you a clue, at least to what I think the
explanation is. The torque in this case is not
directly about the center of mass of that spin-
ning disk. The torque is way out to one side
because I have the dipole, you see, sticking
quite a ways on out. And that causes the whole
gyro, essentially, to tumble after a few seconds.
And it will tumble in the way it is - Whoops! It
just stabilized again. But that's a rather com-
plicated problem to analyze, I suspect. And if
you'd care to try a thorough analysis of it, why,
I'm sure there'd be some people interested in
this solution that you came up with.

259 21 18 35 SPT Yes, anything else that comes to mind - question

left in your mind, Al? Okay.
 2591

259 21 18 46 SPT Okay, that's the end of this one, folks.

259 21 31 32 SPT Okay. This is the SPT on channel A with

M487-2 Delta crew debriefing. How effective are
the various tools? For the most part, they do
their Job. We did need a tool for the modification
of the refractometer, which had to be tailored
from one of the small screwdrivers. And we also
needed a tool for the ergometer pedal, which we
didn't have at all. We had to use one that was
the wrong size.

259 21 32 02 SPT Postural adjustments: I don't remember any pos-

tural adjustments, outside the fact that in small
corners you Just have to squeeze into a small space,
like up in the STS windows. Major muscle groups
do you employ in zero g? Arm.

SPT Previous observed that handling large masses? Oh,

yes. Obviously, it's no - no problem at all with
large masses. Wish we had a ton around here. We
could Just move around to show you how easy it is
,_ to move a ton by hand. Well, on maintenance
tasks - I'm going to leave that up to A1 or Jack
to discuss because they've done the biggest share
of these maintenance tasks, and it really is a
better question to ask somebody that has done the
majority.

259 21 32 54 SPT Prime method of removing reactive forces when

you must exert a linear push or pull during a
task: It all depends upon where you are and
what you're doing. I suppose that you - with your
feet when you can. If your feet are - have a
tied-down place, then you use them. If you feet
are not tied down, then you use your other arm.
So feet are preferable.

259 21 Z3 19 SPT Tendency to establish an IVA coordinate system

as a frame for reference? The answer is yes.
Particularly down here in the experiment area,
wardroom, and sleep compartment, there's no
question but what the orientation is the same as
it was on the ground. Now we can reorient that
coordinate system whenever we need to. But for
most of our work, 95 percent, we all use the same
coordinate systems. We've practiced, for example,
 2592

walking around on the overhead in the experiment

area. And it gives a very strange sensation. You
see brand new things. You Just have no idea how
floor - how cluttered up the ceiling, which is
now the floor, has become. Wires and cables and
everything else hung on over. And it's really
like a whole new room that you walk into. It's
a fascinating new room. It's a pleasant psycho-
logical sensation Just to see it with the lights
underneath your feet. And it's Just an amazing
sort of situation to find yourself in. But very
definitely, there has been a coordinate system
established in these three areas. Stand by.

259 21 34 24 SPT Okay, we're back at it again on the 487 dash

something or other. And that something or the
other, in this case, is 2 Delta. But now in the
workshop and - it's not quite so clear. Going
into the MDA, I frequently go in without any
reference at all. But once I'm in there, then I
orient myself principally to the ATM panel. So
when you're going over to the EREP stuff, I'm
sure that Jack and A1 orient themselves in respect
to that. If you're at the STS, you just reorient -_
to that direction. So you have all these reference
systems. You do use them but you Just reorient
them as necessary.

259 21 35 07 SPT Opinion concerning advisability of exerting design

influence to standardize - to standardize the
multiple types of snaps. Yes, I think it's de-
finitely a design-advisable feature. We finally
got them all learned, I think, and know what fits
to what. But there's no reason to have as many
kinds scattered around as we do. And I think a
lot of thought ought to go into just what this
standard ought to be, and then settle on a few.
One standard for all fittings, of course, isn't
going to work. But a lot of things like these
dial latches ought to be kicked out, thrown away.
It ought to be arranged so that they don't come
undone in zero g. Now the Calfax work very nicely.
I think Calfax has gone up in my estimation -
was high already. Dial latches have gone further
down, and they were low already. And that sort
of thing we had ought to standardize and throw
out the bad ones.
 2593

259 21 36 09 SPT Okay, that's the end of my comments from the SPT
on 2 Delta. These comments go to the Mh87 PI.

259 21 37 23 SPT Okay. This is the SPT on channel A with a

message once again to Drs. Herm Frey, Paul
Lo_nan, and Larry Dunkelman at Goddard Space
Flight Center - repeating some of the infor-
mation that I sent down yesterday that got
cut off on the tape recorder when they rewound
it in the middle of the conversation. Okay,
Larry_ I think I was in the middle of a
discussion with you, or information for you,
when the conversation got cut off yesterday.
They read me back the last part of what I had
said. And I was describing for you as best
I could the transition coloring between sunrise
and sunset and vice-a-versa. No - no - between -
at sunrise and sunset. And it terminated
about the point where I was pointing out that
above the normal coloring, where it begins to
transition into the black, there are changes
from white to - whitish gray to blue to white
_-_ to blue severaltimes. And I believe I mentioned
on one occasion at least four of the blue bands
were observed. More normally there are not
that many. But I only see these things at
sunrise and sunset, as I think perhaps I -
you didn't copy yesterday and - And I'm inclined
to think they're related to - related to the
degree to which I am dark adapted or the
degree to how - to which there is additional
light present and being scattered from the
windows.

259 21 39 12 SPT During the daytime when you look at the

horizon, you simply can't see this. But my
guess is it's mostly due to light - additional
light that's scattered from all the dust and
everything else on the window. At any rate,
I've only seen it at sunrise and sunset, but
you can see it almost any sunrise, sunset.
There will be one or two transitions from
white to blue before it goes on out to the
blackness of the night sky. Now - I don't
whether these - these things are related in
any way to noctilucent clouds. I've not
been able to see anything that I would identify
2594

as a noctilucent cloud. That doesn't mean I've

not seen some. It may be Just that I don't
know how to recognize them. Now of course, I
know their altitudes have to be, I guess, 70,
80 kilometers or so and - something like cirrus
perhaps. The only - closest thing to it I can
imagine would be - occasions when I see cirrus-
like clouds that move against the background
of the lower cumulus clouds as the spacecraft
flies overhead. But - no way to tell Just what
their altitude was without seeing how - what
their relative motion is.

259 21 40 28 SPT My guess is I've not seen any noctilucent clouds.

What these things are at sunrise and sunset -
these - this structure in the upper stratosphere,
I - I Just don't know. But they are very much
like that picture that we have in the book that
you fellows prepared for us; except in some
cases, I can see more than one transition. I
also talked to Paul and Herm a little about
some of the other geological features that we
have seen.

259 21 41 01 SPT As I guess you're aware, people have become -

have become very busy in providing us with
targets to look at, photograph, and describe.
Most of this is channeled through our Earth
resources personnel at Johnson Center. They do
have access to the technical report that was -
you fellows wrote. I don't know to what extent
they have relied upon it, but I do know that
many of the things that they asked for are
also covered in your booklet.

259 21 41 32 SPT So I think as much as anything, your book's

been valuable to us from the standpoint of
preflight training and making us aware of the
many things to be seen. And it is really a
fantastic view - some of the sights that we
have. For example, looking down the Andes
toward the tip of South America on a clear day
is really breathtaking. I had that view,
for example, on EVA day about a - 3 weeks ago.
Standing on top of the ATM, flying over the
Pacific and - in this case, I was looking
north when we were crossing down about mid-Chile
and could see the horizon for 270 degrees from
 2595

my left - corner of my left eye around to the

corner of my right eye and the whole western
coast of South America was clear. It's probably
the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. But
all of the - mountain building going on and the
fault lines and so forth are really amazing to
behold.

259 21 42 28 SPT And another one that's particularly impressive

is the Alps. I had no idea what enormous
features they are and how they spread over -
not only Just Switzerland but on through the
Baltics and out toward Russia. I guess they're
called Carpathians on over there. But the Alps
are really - have some faults and valleys that
go down through there that are really impressive.
We've had a lot of time over Australia and
New Zealand. And I think we got a lot of
photographs of that, although New Zealand was
frequently cloudy. We do have at least
several good photographs in there. So your
books have been very helpful to us. And - we'll
have to - to spenda lot of time goingover
all this photography when we get back because
we're coming back with essentially no extra
film. We have a week to go and we' re having to
be careful to budget - relatively careful not
to run out before this last week. So - thanKS
to yOU all three again for the preparation of
those books which we have on board and which
I have had out and used on a number of occasions.
This message goes to our good friends Larry
"Dimlight" Dunkelman, Herin Frey, and Paul Lowman
from the SPT. These gentlemen are located at
Goddard Space Flight Center and l'd appreciate
it if you'd expedite the message getting to
them.

259 21 43 47 SPT SPT out.

TIME SKIP

259 22 35 39 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A de-

briefing the last ATM run, which began at 21:B8.
You started out by asking me if I'd seen anything
2596

unusual in corona because there had been some

activity related to active regions 26 and 28. And
I had not on the preceding rev, but I went up and
looked immediately on this rev and I saw nothing
extraordinary. Over in that region we have a
very nice, distinct, bright streamer emanating
from that area. However, it didn't appear to change
with time and had no apparent discontinuites in it,
which would make me think it was transient. How-
ever, I did a _3-second FAST SCAN on it.

259 22 35 41 PLT And then I followed that by shopping list item 19.
And I was supposed to be at the south pole. How-
ever, in doing some rolling around, I had selected
CANISTER ROLL at one point, had neglected to go
back to EXPERIMENT ROTJJ and took all the data in
CANISTER ROLL of a minus 5400. The preceding shop-
ping list item 17, however, was done in EXPERIMENT
ROLL of minus 4 - 5_00. So it turns out that shop-
ping list item number 19 was taken at an EXPERI-
MENT ROLL of a minus 7_50, which is about ST degrees
from where it should have been. And I first noticed
my mistake by look_ng at the XUV MONITOR and notic- _
ing that the hole that I think that you wanted to
study was not precisely where I thought it ought
to be. And checking around, I finally came up with
the fact that the CANIS'f_ ROLL was selected in
minus 5400.

259 22 36 51 PLT I hope that the data can be used, and that it's
not too far off. It appears that it's right on
the edge of the hole that you were hoping to study
and that it will be probably satisfactory to - to
use for the south pole. So with that fairly seri-
ous oversight on my part, I hope that shopping list
item 19 came out a71 right. We ran the exposures
precisely as outlined on message 4336 Alfa. So
with that, we'll sign off now until the next rev
at 23:1_. Thank you very much.

259 22 37 3_ PLT Oh, one other point, we did run another shopping
list item 17 at EXPERIMENT ROLL of minus 5400, a
4S-second FAST SCAN at the end of this revolution
before effective sunset, and so as to ensure that
we covered a_v transients that might be there that
we could not visually see on the white light corona-
graph or in H-alpha. Th_n_ you.

259 22 42 07 SPT Okay, here comes a message from the SPT on the -
to the people concerned with on onboard drugs, and
includes Drs. Paul Buchanan and Jerry Hordinsky.
Here's my inventory of can 1037 which is still in
W-706 and which was filled, I believe, by one Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin, and who, I presume, had sent down
a pretty accurate inventory. And if he didn't,
you can give him three black marks. And you can
also check my inventory against his and if it's
his - if his is incorrect, give him at least two
black marks, preferably delivered by telephone;
the sooner, the better.

259 22 42 52 PLT Here's my inventory: Can 1037, ascodeine, 30

tablets; aspirin, 2 cans, 58 tablets in each;
Ampicillin, 40 tablets, 2 cans, 40 in each; tetra-
cycline, 40 tablets; Sulfamylon cream, 2 tubes;
Da!mane, 15 tablets; chloral hydrate, 15 tablets;
_ pilocarpine ophthal m_ c solution; scopol_m_ ne drops;
dextroamphetA_ine; and general skin cream. All
that is in 1037 and W-706. Located next door at
W-700 is the emergency equipment kit which I think
is a concoction of Joe's. Here's what he's got
in it: An epinephrine syringe. It's the long
syringe for intracardiac injections. There is
also an en - epinephrine injection vial, I presume,
to be used with the large syringe.

PLT What a stinker.

259 22 43 59 SPT There is an epinephrine ampoule with syringe -

this is the regular-sized one - a tracheotome, a
hemostat, and that's it, in his little emergency
kit in W-700. That's the end of this inventory,
which goes to anyone in the biomed world concerned
with onboard drugs, and Drs. Paul Buchanan, Jerry
Hordinsky, and Joseph P. Kerwin.

56 would never get through FILTER _. It would
hang up. After letting it hang up for a while,
I would turn it off - -

we didn't - -

260 00 05 33 CDR So anyway - another interruption, sorry. So we

had to start the $G52 at 125 to count down.
Anyhow, we got through those items finally by
taking SINGLE FRAMES, NOP_AL; and ... frames, SHORT.
And finally it hung up on 6 in PATROL, SHORT. So I
Just finished that. We did not get in the two
FILTER 3 or the fil - FILTER 4, 8-minute exposure
because we spent all the time trying to get 56
working in its LONG, NORMAL and all because I
felt you probably wanted those more. Once we
finished those, then we went - _mmediately went
to Sun center, looked at 52, gave you the down-
link and then - we're now presently rnnning the
atmosphere extinction. So that's it for the
eveming. And I'm going to polmr down unattended
in a little while.

260 01 23 l0 SPT This is the SPT on channel A with a message for

the urinalysis people. And the message is as
follows." I had one urination this morning, day
51 - mission day 51 or day 259, which shouldn't
have been included in yesterday's sample, in day
50. I forgot I hadn't changed the bag out yet
at about - oh, 2 or B hours after getting up.
And so that one urination is going to be included
in day 50, whereas I should've had the bags changed
2600

and had it included in day 51. My estimate on

the volume is about 150milliliters if youwish
to correct that day's volume. In other words,
subtract it from day 50 and add it into day 51's
volume; about 150 milliliters. Sorry about that.

260 09 3B 36 SPT Okay, here we are on channel B with the PRD readings
for the day. Jack has 414; 414 for "Jackson."

260 09 34 S1 SPT PRD for the SPT is 214, 214; 21_ for the SPT.

260 ll 02 ll SPT Here's the SPT on channel A, debriefing the first

ATM pass of the day, which finished right here at
ll:00. Did the Nu Z update, which isn't of interest
to the ATM PIs and planners, I guess, except for
getting a good roll, and started the pass with a
J0P 7 at sunrise on 1941 magnesium X. I believe
our JOP did not extend into the sunrise interval;
so it should have been satisfactory. This ended
JOP l, as planned. After that was complete and
the info on the VTR, went to active region 27,
which looks the brightest in our H-alpha today,
as well as a pretty good - perhaps the brightest
signature, also, in XUV. If there were to be a
flare today, my guess is that active region 27
would be the most likely.

260 ll 03 02 SPT And I did do one 82B time exposure, 2 plus 40, as
well as a 55 GRATING AUTO SCAN and mlni-RASTER.
I started to give S056 a LONG EXPOSURE there, and
did terminate it after about 5 minutes ; so sorry
it wasn't any longer, Jim - because I wanted to go
over and take a look at a bright spot.

260 ll 03 28 SPT There are a number of bright spots now that are
visible, and this one was, as I recall, up some-
where north of Sun center. And I found the bright
spot had pretty good contrast with background, in
oxygen $I at any rate, and did a MIRROR LINE SCAN
and mini-RASTER - mini-AUT0 RASTER on the bright _
spot. I didn't have time for a GRATING AUTO SCAN.
 2601

And then after that, in the last couple or 3 m_nutes,

I went back to do another JOP 7 at sunset, but,
unfortunately, EG dumping is beginning to encroach
on our - on our star availability time, at sunset
apparently, and I don't believe any of the lines
had reached sufficient absorption before the com-
puter cut the signals off at effective sunset. So
there was an attempt at another J0P 7, but it
probably was unsuccessful at s_set. That completes
the ATM pass.

260 ll 04 34 SPT Oh, incident_lSy, on the - Guess this is the word

to George Withbroe or - and/or Get_ Timothy on
the magnesium X. He did send up, on the science
debriefings yesterday, that it was simply an in-
crease in the atomic-oxygen cross section, which
was what I'd sort of guessed the answer was, although
I didn't happen to know what the atomic-oxygen
cross section was at that wavelength; apparently,
it's Just substantially larger. I don't recall
having had m_uy requests for JOP 7 data at that
wavelength. Perhaps you're getting good atomic-
oxygen cross sections at another wavelength that
I - I'm not aware of, but it would seem that a
few on magnesium X wouldn't hurt at this point.
And be anxious to see how that comes - how that
looks when I get back, Gethyn or George - and/or
George.

260 ll 05 25 SPT So that completes the debriefing at this point

for the ATM PIs and planners from the SPT.

260 ll 34 26 CDR Message - This is CDR with a message to Jerry Carr,

Bill Pogue, and the food people. Jerry and Bill,
don't get - don't excited, but I Just removed
seven of your lemonades from locker 562, I kept
an accurate record of where they went, and because
we have lemonades on the ground that you can bring
up, I felt that you wouldn't feel this was too
bad a situation. We've eaten all the overage
lemonades in the spacecraft. We've eaten all the
overage strawberries, and although I wanted - I
liked the strawberries better, I knew there was
not any availablefor resupplyon the ground,
whereas there is a number of lemonades. So we
2602

have those out now, and we'll probably be drink-

ing them. If we need anymore, I'II keep accu-
rate track of those also.

260 ll 35 33 CDR CDR out.

260 ll 40 35 SPT Okay, Just a quick comment for the ATM PIs and
planners. I'm Just getting started on this next
orbit, but at the beginning of the orbit, I did
do a - a J0P 7 at sunrise on the same bright point
that I completed the study on during the last or-
bit. The last orbit I ended on a - a short study
of a bright spot in the network, and I also did
a J0P 7 sunset attempt at the same spot. So I
left the pointing right there at the sunrise
this morning. The bright spot had moved to the
right by l0 or 15 arc seconds, which seems a bit
much for Just solar rotation, but it could be I
didn't have it quite peaked up, either, at the
end of the last orbit. So you can see a little
bit of extra, additional data on the same bright
spot by looking at the beginning of this orbit,
see what it looks like 30 minutes later, and
I'm sure you'll see some shift in the solar rota-
tion. And we're now in the J0P 2, and I'll com-
plete any other debriefing at the end of this
orbit.

260 12 32 38 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A with infor-

mation for the ATMPIs and planners, debriefing
the last ATM pass which finished here at
12:30 Zulu. I completed everything on the
schedule, the Sun-centered Ops plus the chromo-
spheric velocity, J0P 2 Foxtrot, for 55 after
7 or 8 minutes in MIRROR LINE SCAN for the
chromospheric velocity study. I had previously
noticed that there was a rather strong, 6-centimeter
radio burst about 12:12 Zulu. I checked XUV M0N
and could see no significant signature with the
possible exception of something over on the east
limb, and so, after 7 or 8 minutes of MIRROR
LINE SCAN for 55, I went back to Sun center to
take a look at the corona. I couldn't see any-
_" 2603

thing unusual in the corona at that time but did

take about 43 seconds, or little over, in FAST
SCAN for S052 to cycle through their exposure
range. So if there is anything starting out in
the corona, we'll have an initial starting point
for the appearance of the corona. Be interesting
to find out if that was some sort of an anomaly :
in our onboard monitor. I don't th_nk so. I
think it was a legitimate radio burst, and I'ii
check with you at the next radio contact about it.
260 12 34 16 SPT After taking a look there, I then went on over
to active region 27, which had previously showed
signs of brightening in both H-alpha and the
XUV MON. As a m_tter of fact, once again I
noticed it first in the XUV MON, and then, indeed,
the H-alpha did look a little bit brighter. There
was some indication of a small center beginning,
but, if so, there wasn't anything. It was only
a suhflare vith very little, if any X-ray re -
respon - response or signature, and that had
disappeared after 5 to i0 minutes. So I did a
partialMAR on activeregion27 anyway,sinceI
was already looking at it at the end of the orbit.
I then moved the GRATING up to 1941 to try to get
J0P 7 data at sunset. I thought that JOP - or
1941 was probably about the only position we could
use, since effective sunset is coming earlier now
and most of the other lines are not sufficiently
distinguished.

260 12 35 15 SPT So when I tried 1941, I'm not sure I got there
quite in adequate time, but there's a possibility
•of getting some magnesium X extinction data on
the end of the orbit. Now I might also comment
on the very bright streamer that we have showing
up at 250 on the coronagraph. That's probably
the longest and brightest streamer that I recall
having observed up here. I don't know what active
region is responsible for it. Perhaps it's still
on the back side of the Sun, but if so, it is
certainly generating a coronal response, because
it's a - very bright all the way to the edge of
our display. And I expect the down-link VTR will
show that to you, also. And if you have any
plans for - for looking at it during limb passage
or if you can identify whether it's on a front
side or back side active region, you might pass
F thatinformation along.
26o4

260 12 36 15 SPT So that's the end of this debriefing for the ATM
PIs and planners from the SPT.

260 12 51 00 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack and A1 on channel A.

The subject is M131-1. A1 just completed his spin
test, when - when he went counterclockwise at
30 rpmwith no symptoms, and also the 0GI. Now
the nitrogen pressure is l150, and he'll debrief
the 0GI run now.

260 12 51 27 CDR Okay, CDR with comments on 131-1. Did you have a
sense of rotation or otherwise moving? You cer-
tainly did, sometimes. When we were rotating,
sometimes I got it. I noticed - Before I started,
I'd checked and found I had a right bias. In
other words, as I was sitting still and looked
out and saw I was sitting still, if I'd look in,
I would sense a right bias. So that's one little
note. Did the line target ever move in a direc-
tion other than expected?

260 12 51 58 CDR No, last time it did, as I reported, but this

time it was perfectly normal. Additional comment,
nothing; it looked okay. The spin test with the
counterclockwise spin, which is the first time
I've tried that - I didn't get sick or have
any motion awareness (I mean stomach awareness or
anything), but I felt it was much more trouble to
spin that way. I felt it was more of a stress on
me. The -

260 12 53 Oh PLT Okay, this is Jack again. SAne subject, M131-1 on

A1. I made one incorrect input, and I made one
which I'm not sure I made. Now let's take - On
one revolution, the first set was COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
He gave a LEFT; I ENTERed. And he gave a RIGHT,
and I'm not sure I ENTERed that one or not. And
he gave the right answer, anyway.

260 12 53 32 PLT Okay, and then over around in that revolution,

18 on the third set, I gave him a COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE; he gave me a _ (correct), which I EN-
TERed. And then he gave me a RIGHT, which I
incorrectly ENTERed as a LEVT. So he got all of
them right in 18; he did not miss any. And that
takes care of it. This information to Dr. Jerry
Homick, BIOMED.

260 12 5h 02 PLT End of message. Thank you.

260 13 02 09 CDR Message - This is the CDR with a message to Jerry

Carr, Bill Pogue, and the food people.

TIME SKIP

260 14 04 50 SPT Okay, this is the SPT for the ATM PIs and planners,
debriefing - debriefing the last pass, which ended
about 14:06 Zulu. We ran through the ATM schedule
as on the pad. Standby.

260 14 05 44 SPT Okay, back on the last discussion with-the SPT.

We ran through the ATM schedule as is on the pad.
I was supposed to Sun-center stuff and hit the
spicules. I wanted to talk a little bit more
about the spicules. I hope I haven't misled any-
one, particularly the NRL people, on that. In
this case, near the north pole the appearance of
the limb looks rather like a peach of the fuzzy
variety as observed through a rather - either
misty or poor quality magnifying glass. The
fuzz is obvious,standingabove the skin of the
peach. But to pick out any single line or any
indi - individual hair of the peach fuzz would
have been impossible. There were two many spicule
spuds, and they were essentially all of about the
same altitude.

260 14 06 38 SPT So it just looked like a fuzz on top of the peach

skin. Now occasionally, as I mentioned before, we
can see an individual spicule extending out to
perhaps twice the normal distance, but I scanned
back and forth around near the north pole and found
none in that region. So I essentially pointed
perpendicular to the limb and ran the J0P 1E in
that manner.

260 14 07 05 SPT I believe I did have a 6-centimeter, radio noise

burst during the middle of this pass, about the
time I called it down to the ground. And so in
about the last 6 minutes of the orbit, I went back
to Sun center. I did about 1 minute of FAST SCAN;
then took a look at the corona and compared it
with a picture that I had taken at the beginning
of the orbit.

26o6

260 14 07 26 SPT There was no obvious change in the coronal struc-

ture from the 45 minutes ensuing between the begin- I
ning and the end of the orbit. I then left the
GRATING at 426, Sun centered, and I tried to get
you some extinction data on silica III there, at
sunset. I don't know whether the KT dump will
interfere and come too early, before extinction
has arrived, but it's on the tape, at any rate.

260 14 36 B0 CDH Okay, this is the CDR with information on the

urine measurement this morning. Let me give you
some good "dope," I think. Okay, here's what it
weighed with everything on it, including a mere -
Just a second. I got to go find out the length,
but I weighed it.

260 14 37 15 CDH This goes to Dr. Bill Thornton and anyone interested
in the BMMD. I put on there for the initial weigh-
ing Just exactly what you said, including one of
the small - not the small, but the leaders for
the - for the sample bag and 56 inches of gray
tapes and then everything else. The only thing
added for the three other measurements were urine
bags, and I have the serial numbers. The only
thing added for the final measurement was the -
all of the masses. Here we go. The initial start-
ing rig, including the tape and the single adapter
for the sample bag: 29266 - No, no, I didn't say
it right. 2.92626, 2.92637, 2.92642, 2.92599,
2.92632. Now by the way, I measured these things
each five times. I didn't measure them six and
pick the best of the six to make five or anything
like that.

17 minutes is what you see, huh? Put it in again,
Just to show you. We put them in two or three
times. 15:27 - How late is that after my pass?
15:27 - Plenty late. Way after it, isn't it?

260 14 58 42 CC Skylab, this is Houston. We were telling you that

the maneuver time that you had previously loaded
is good. The one that you Just loaded again is
also good. They're both 17 minutes. Out.

260 14 58 53 PLT MARK. READY light on.

PLT I can see them down there ; they got their fingers
in their ears, saying, "Oh, no. Here those guys
go again. Why don't they - - "

CDR Well, it's cloudy down there.

_ PLT So that's all right (laughter). Never lose your

sense of humor.

CDR 06:52; we're going to go on time.

260 15 06 50 CDR Okay, we Just went on time. Now we're going to

zoom in.

look around.

260 15 07 09 PLT Alfa 2 and Charlie 4 are behaving the same as they
were I - -

CDR If I didn't know better, I'd think I was doping off.

We got it; we got something.

PLT We're really wearing out this tape; I hope this

tape lasts. (Whistle)

CDR Let's try to get a different filter. That won't

work. Okay, now I think we got Chesapeake Bay.
2612

It's so hazy I can't tell, Bruce. I'ii take some

data on it right now. Now I'm going to go back
to the shoreline, but I can't m_ke out any - can't
make out if there's enough to know what I've got
here.

PLT Okay, we're going to get the ALTIMETERON, and I'm

going to watch.

the wet land. If it's - -

260 15 07 50 PLT MARK. ALTIMETER, ON. And I got a steady READY

light and a steady ALTIMETER light - UNLOCK light
_mmediately when I put the switch to ON. Now the

PLT UNLOCK light went out. Okay, you want Bravo 9.

I got about 30 seconds - -

CDR IMC/RATE, OFF.

260 15 08 08 CDR It Just went OFF.

high. Charlie 0 is reading 2 percent. Delta
O is off-scale low. The UNLOCK light is on
steady again. I didn't see when it came on, but
I did call it when it came off. I was reading the
dial when the UNLOCK light came off.

CDR We've got these other targets.

260 15 08 h3 PLT The READY light is out. _

 2613

PLT The UNLOCK light is still on. The READY light is

out, Bruce, on 193 A. Something happened to those
lights.Are you there?

260 15 09 40 CC I'm here.

PLT Something happened to those lights while I was

reading them down. I couldn't watch them both at
the same time. And I think I recorded their off
and on but not the exact time.

CC That's okay. I think we're getting the data we need.

PLT Attaboy. That's what we want to hear.

CDR Okay, that was it.

a dinner if you can get him out of Mission Control
during Skylab h sometime. (Laughter)

CDR No, we want him to buy you dinner.

CC (Laughter)

260 15 ll 50 CDR Everybody dinner down there. Dinner for the Mission
Control. Dinner for the whole team, that's right.

I know Ed. I saw him working Mission Control before.

260 15 12 54 CDR 40A. Getting ready for the next pass.

PLT 79 degrees on M-5.

F-- CDR Nice Job of pointing by EREP, by the way.

PLT Those guys down there.

CDR I would never of seen that - that's right. That's

going to be my advice when I get back home - is that
if you don't know anything, go on the time and don't
move that little baby until you know something or
else Just take the data right there, because you're
probably going to be on.

260 15 1B 22 CC Okay, thank you. We got 50 seconds to LOS. Next

2616

PLT New week. We're off and running.

PLT Yesterday was a drag, Bruce; it was a real b11mmer.

We didn't work hard enough. Got to have something
to do up here; it gets a little bit slow.

CC Well, we figured that for a day off pretty well

packed your time line. Maybe we can do better with
the SL-4 crew, if you want to recommend that.

260 15 14 06 CDR Well, they're going to have to find their own thing;
but I'll tell you, the time line looks packed a lot
of times that it isn't because sometimes the squares
are real big for a small Job, and vice versa. And
yesterday, for some reason, we just ended up with
big squares, and the - the pad looked like we had
a lot, but we really didn't. We were - we spent
a lot of time -

PLT I - I mean it was a good Flight Plan, Bruce. It

was Just that we got through ahead of time. Got
a few extra jobs done. Bean shaved; I brushed my
teeth.

260 15 14 41 CC Okeydoke. See you at Madrid.

CDR Okay.

PLT Ol_, se_or.

PLT Okay, we're now going off record for a little while

TIME SKIP

260 16 39 16 SPT Okay, this is the SI_fon channel A, and we're getting
ready for the hand_held UV photograph. I do have
the 2700 angstrom position on the UV twin filter
mounted on Nikon 02. The f is set at 2. The timer
on the top is set a 1/8. The motor function is
set on T - motor function ring is set on T. We
have a little over a minute to wait before we go
to our first photograph. Of course, we've Just
passed over BaJa, probably over Arizona right now,
and don't know where we'll be in a minute from now.
Going to put us over the southwest U.S. What I'm
going to do is take a 1/8-second exposure, and then
switch it to 1/2 and take another one.
2620

260 16 40 05 SPT Do it all manually. Now the frame counter on the

back is sitting at 2; two frames remaining. We have
50 seconds until the first photo. Okay, now I'm
going to point about 20 degrees toward the nadir.
Now I do see the horizon over to my left, and so
the nadir would be to the right side of the window.
And I'll be angling for about 20 degrees, and
maturally can't see through the viewfinder, because
there isn't one.

260 16 40 37 SPT So, I'm pointing the camera by looking over the
top, and then making sure that the camera lens does
have a clear field of view, which it does. Okay,
we got about 10 seconds to go here. The camera has
been checked to be cocked.

260 16 h0 56 SPT Okay, we're on channel A RECORD. So stand by for

the first mark. Interesting. Almost time. Stand
by. Won't fire. Just press the trigger. Interest-
ing. Try it on SINGLE on motor drive function.
Figure from the back. Okay. Apparently it will
not drive any further.

260 16 4i 45 SPT Unable to drive the camera any further. Nope, can't
drive the camera. So these last two photos are -
all go down the drain. Unable to drive it, and
I cannot trigger it from the top or from the bottom.
When I changed the motor drive function to S and
tried to trigger it from the bottom, the motor
Just went chug, and the counter moved down, oh, a
fraction of one frame, like a quarter of a frame
or something like that. And so I'm also unable
to wind the cassette any further. And it could
very well be the end, for all I can tell. My frame
counter on the top of the camera reads 42, and that
checks pretty closely with what I had set on the
bottom. I had the bottom initially set at 43, and
it's counted down to 2 or really right between
1 and 2 now. So essentially, the top and bottom
frame counters agree, and it's not clear why I
can't drive this last frame or two either manually
or with the motor drive. So it looks llke my only
alternative now is the rewind the cassette, and
I'm going to stow the equipment and rewind it now.

260 16 43 01 SPT And this message goes to the S063 PIs and Wally
Teague and Jack Lew at Johnson Space Center.

260 17 04 09 PLT I put the twin filter and the ETC camera and _lJ
that back aw_y into the vault. And I've also
rewound the BV16 and returned it to the cassette -

cassette BV16, Bravo Victor 16 is out of the

message. ..

260 17 i0 21 CDR This is the CDR debriefing the ATM run that started
16:17. I got some information earlier that there
was a radio burst. Went up and took a look. And
sure enough, as I reported on channel A, it looked
like there was organi - reorganization of the
corona, down around the 5 o'clock position with
a roll at zero. Now I've been operating with a
roll of about a minus 3000 and so that would
make it near 5:30. What had occurred, from the
time 13:20 until the time 16:20, was that another
long ray had - had manlfested itself in - immedi-
ately above the ray that was at that point.

260 17 ll 05 CDR Also, some of the lower rays - very sharp corona
at 3 o'clock at zero roll seems to have been
somewhat misplaced or eliminated. So my feeling
is that something's going on between these two
rays and Just too tenuous to observe.

260 17 ll 26 CDR But in any effect - way, what I did do was take a -
go to J0P 8 and do a EY_I_ENDEDSTANDARD. When that
was completed at 16 minutes, I - by the way, I also
took a long exposure on FRAMES 3 and 4 of 56. When
that was complete, the ground indicated that I
should proceed with the pad, which I did.

260 IT 11 50 CDR Now the rest of the event went well. About
8 minutes prior to sunset, I then went back to Sun
center and did a shopping list item 17 and that
was the end of the show. No other particular
information. CDR out.

260 17 14 28 CDR This is information for the 131 PI. This is the
CDR. After my spin, I felt - not particuarly
good. It wasn't a stomach awareness, I don't
2622

think. It was Just sort of a slight blahsea [sic]

for about 30 minutes. During this period, I drank
scme lemonade which didn't sit too well on my
stomach, and I drank some water. After 30 minutes,
this entire feeling went away and I felt good the
rest - so far.

260 17 14 58 CDR So I think maybe the whole problem was this counter-
clockwise spin that I don't remember ever doing
either on ground, preflight, or up here during
flight.

260 17 40 3h SPT SPT on channel A with a co_nent for Bill Thornton,

Dr. Bill Thornton. Hello, Bill, Just did your
BM_D photos as requested on the SPT photo pad. I
don't think anybody had ever set it up at the
locationspecified there. _-_

260 17 h0 47 SPT First off, from F-B, there is no way to get the
camera orientated in such away that it'll look
at one g as if the subject were anything but on
his side.

260 17 hl 00 SPT The only way he was - first of all, it was pointed
off to one side of the chair by 20 degrees or so
and no way to orient the csmera. And then the
third thing is, the T025 cylinder that holds the
parasol - or whatever that nnmber of the experi-
ment is - that holds the parasol housing, sits
right in front of the BMD - BMMD. So there
wouldn't be any way to see it.

260 17 41 21 SPT So what I did was to move the camera about 3 or

4 feet forward to another location to get it
pointed properly. And it took about 30 minutes
to collect all the stuff required to do that
because they specified new DACs and new everything
else to - find all that stuff.

260 17 41 35 SPT So I've taken what film was left over and I'm Just
now doing the BMMD photos for you, Bill.

260 18 16 54 SPT Okay, message for the EREP officer. We're sitting
here looking at Salt Lake City. We can see the
wind patterns in the water. We can see the twin
roads cutting across the salt flats very clearly.

260 18 17 07 SPT We can see the individual little sections where

they're apparently evaporating their water for
salt collection. (Music) We can see little streaks
out through the water caused by, it looks to me like,
some sort of a - looks like the trail a shrimp boat
leaves, where it leaves a little trail in the mud
through the northern part of the lake which is
reddish. (Music)

260 18 17 39 SPT And we can see pretty good detail down there but
that gives you some idea. It looks like resolution
of 20 or B0 feet is pretty easily visiblewhen
they're straight lines, like highways, for example.
But you can easily see the dividing lane or the
f_ center strip between the double lanes on the free-
way crossing the salt flats. That was very easily
discernible and the resolution is probably, oh,
two or three times better than that.

get 37.8 for the first one and 184.5 for the
second one. _s_V, now we're going ricky, ticky,
ticky on the - walking the slide in on the S183.
Had there been a slide in there, it would have
worked, but at least the stepper motor's working.

260 18 48 37 PLT And there, shutter opened. I heard it go click.

And Just what the DAC is doing I can't tell.
(Music}

260 18 49 16 PLT Somebody took me off of RECORD. Okay. So we'll

Just sort of stand by and listen and watch what
happens. And, as I said, I can't tell what the
DAC is doing at the moment. I don't have any
lights on it. I didn't hear anything go click,
although I wasn't listening. And in the meantime,
we're standing by for our 300-second exposure to
be completed. And that should occur at about
51:30 to 52:00, minutewise. So we'll go off the
air for a littlewhile. _.,

260 18 51 43 PLT Okay, here we are back again on S183. Let's see
if we can notice when the shutter closes and this
exposure is completed. I put my hand on the DAC
here. See if I can feel it doing anything.

PLT Guess I was a minute off, come to think of it.

Should be 52:30 to 53:00 - sometime, the exposure
gets completed. This is CO - Charlie Hotel India,
one 300-second exposure. The PLATE showing there
is number 7 in the window, although there is no
film in there. Stepper motors still giving us
signals. I hope we can get this machine working
right.

260 18 53 05 PLT And according to the pad and also on the checklist,
I did operate the DAC at 24 frames per second for
2 seconds - before the first exposure.

260 18 53 29 PLT Should be about time for this to time out. Instru-
mentation recorder's on - click there it goes.
Stepping back. There's the shutter closing off.
Stepping back.
 2625

260 18 53 51 PLT MARK. The light is out. Plate number 8 is going

in the window. Okay, checklist says, verify
sequence complete, EXPOSURE lamps are off. Okay,
if additional star fields are to be photographed,
SEQUENCE to STANDBY. Okay, we go to STANDBY. Set
TILT and ROTATION control per pad, which we'll do;
184.5 c_ng up. Put the correction up.

260 18 54 41 PLT On the AMS, a little piece of radium or l,_uescent

stuff has come off and floating around inside the
window. In fact, the number 2 - the fourth digit -
third digit from the left has completely - the
11_nescent stuff's completely gone andpart of the
3 is gone also. Okay one - ... 84.5. Every time
you come to a 2, you don't know exactly where you're
at. But if you lock closely you can see the cutout
made for the 2. And 29.2 on the TILT is where we're
going right at this moment.

260 18 55 46 PLT Okay, 184.5 is doublechecked, and 29.2 is also

doublechecked. This field is Golf M_ke Charlie -
GMC, Just like the trucks. And we set that. Now
"-- we set EXPOSURE switches on spectrograph per pad.
Okay, we got a 0, a O, and a 1260. Okay, 0, 0,
1260, which is precisely 21 minutes. Okay, 21 and
56 is about 17. And we can run until 18, so we
better get going here. Sequence start, whatever
available time on pad. Okay, 60 ... per pad.
SEQUENCE, START. Here we go.

260 18 56 43 PLT MARK. SEQUENCE, STARTed. And that was at 56:4B,

56:_3. Now I ought to hear the stepper motor go.

PLT (Whistling)

260 18 57 28 PLT So far, nothing's happened. I know it takes a

while; seems like it's a long time. There it goes.
It's stepping now. Takes almost a minute -
50 seconds. Ricky, ticky, ticky, ticky, and there,
it's there. Now we'll standby for the shutter.

260 18 58 02 PLT Click. There goes the shutter. Okay, now we're
going to be off the air for quite a while until this
times out. And I should be done prior to Sun -
sunri se.
2626

260 18 58 21 PLT So we'll go off the air for a while now and check
with you later.

260 19 14 52 CDR Okay, this is the CDR reporting on the tape recorder
look. On tape recorder 28, we think we've fixed
it, by the way. Let me tell you what I did. I
followed the procedure exactly. When I got down
to step 4, I step - I inspected for damaged tape;
no tape. The amount of tape on the reel was: the
top one was full and the F-1 switch was activated,
the bottom one had the remainder on it, which you
can't tell how much it is because the switch was
not actuated. Consulting the book, the first -
next thing I did was rotate the wheels both ways.
Now when I rotated the wheels so that the slack was
being take up by the top - the top wheels, it got a
tremendous amount of slack in it. The - I didn't
say that right. Whatever - whenever I was rotating
it -

260 19 16 02 CDR Whenever I was rotating it counterclockwise - would

be the way to say, so that the bottom reel was
taking up slack, the top reel was giving it out.
Then we'd get a huge loop up aro_md the idler, Just
prior to the takeup reel. Okay, something was
holding things back. So I looked down in there.
There is a black wire running to the record playback
head. That black wire was rubbing on the tape. I
then inspected it further and determined that the
tape itself was no longer going over the caption
mount, or the two rollers that are by the record
playback head. In other words, it had come off
completely, the area - the four rollers that - the
two that have the pitch roller and the two that
position it for the tape light - playback head.

CDR And so it - it was running this way. It was running

from the idler of the top reel, directly past the
front of the head, then back up to the idler for
the bottom wheel. I took it off and inspected it.
Now it's possible, I might add right now, that it
wasn't that bad off until I started moving it back
and forth. It's conceivable that some of it was -
that it was no that way to begin with. But my
suspicion is that it was, because the first time
I moved it, I got much slack in that takeup reel.

260 19 17 56 CDR Okay, the rest of the thing went - went pretty _.
straightforward. The head was very clean, as were
 2627

all the captions and rollers. We cleaned them off,

p_t it a]l back together, adjusted the pitch ... -

260 19 25 23 PLT - clearly, I went to the second field - and that

was Golf Mike Charlie - and initiated the
exposure. And, naturally, it took a while for
the stepper motor to start operating, about
50 seconds. And so that kind of ate into the
sunset time. So - -

260 19 25 45 CC Houston. For your information, the data recorder

d_p is complete. We're about 1 minute from LOS
at Honeysuckle. Hawaii 's coming up at 19 :38.

PLT Thank you, Dick. And I want to second what A1

said about your good efforts on getting the
Skylab shipshape to begin with and also the efforts
of many of the guys that worked with you.

CC Roger. Thank you very much.

260 19 26 14 PLT Okay, and so then - Sorry for the interrupt there.
So it turns out that the exposurewasn't quite
complete by sunset time. And so at 19:18,
in exactly 15 seconds, I terminated the exposure
by going to STANDBY. Now I went to initiate the
exposure with 21 minutes and 15 seconds remaining
before sunrise. However, it took about 50 seconds
for the stepper motor to start working, so that
this apparently is not included in that 21-minute
exposure period. And my comment was that I hope
that you're allowing for time for the stepper
motor to operate, and all the other little things
to work, in order to get our pass completed from
the sunset to the sunri - sunrise time.

260 19 27 21 PLT Let me figure it out here. We had a 5-minute

exposure and a 21-minute one. That is 26minutes.
You gave us sunrise and sunset as 18:h7 until
19:18. That's 13 and 18; that's 31 minutes, and
we have 26 minutes of exposures. So if w_ started
right on time and ended right on time, we'd have
about 50 seconds times 2, or say about a minute
and a half of waiting for the stepper motor to work,
which runs our 26 minutes up to 27-1/2. And that
leaves us about 3-1/2 minutes to change rotation
and tilt and that kind of thing, which should be
enough, but for some reason didn't seem to be. So,
_" apparently, you've been allowing time for that step-
2628

per motor to operate, and if I erroneous - errone-

ously thought you were not, I stand corrected. And
we did terminate this exposure a little bit early,
however, I believe. But it probably wasn't too much
too early.

260 19 28 31 PLT After - after closing shutters, by going to

STANDBY, the plate registered number 8. And even
though there was no carrousel in there, I decided
to step it around to 01. So I went to RESET with
the PLATE ADVANCE and it stepped neatly around to
01 and I went to OFF, and POWER, OFF, and turned all
the EXPOSURE dials to zero. So we followed the
checklist. That's where we are. Everything
mechanicalwise se_ns to be working pretty good.
And - I've run off another couple seconds of 24
frames per second on the DAC. And we're going
to get the mirror back in now and stow this
machine. And so that's the end of my comments
on 8183.

260 19 29 13 PLT And thank you for listening, and see you later.

TIME SKIP

260 20 16 34 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A

debriefing the last ATM run which began at 19:20.
We got the J0P 6, and then we did the shopping
list item number 16 above active region 28; dis-
placed radially from it, of course. The roll
turned out to be a minus 1727. And got a little
shorter on time than we had expected we might and
had to cut down the exposures a little bit. The
823 exposure was way short at 31 minutes vice 37.
And all of 56's exposures were lO minutes instead
of 12.

260 20 17 21 PLT But I think that will give the data that you want
and I cut them all off Just before effective
sunset. So there won't be any _O0-kilometer data i
in there. I took my daily look at the corona -
or my daily sketch of the corona - and noted that I
the features that are there are pretty much in the l
same location as they were yesterday, although
they have changed somewhat in appearance - the
streamer extending above active region 28 and 26,
over in that area. The east-southeast limb is
 2629

still there, of course, but it's stronger and

apparently longer today. The area on the east-
northeast limb has developed into a more fuller -
more f1_S structure - brighter structure than it
was yesterday.

260 20 18 25 PLT The region on the west-northwest limb is still

there, but apparently has diminished in intensity
s_newhat. The streamer on the west-southwest
limb has developed a fork. It was there yesterday,
but not apparent as a fork. And it has developed
two fairly well-defined prongs sticking out from
that area right now. So we'll continue to watch
the corona. I didn't see anything that appeared to
me to be a transient. No discontinuities in the
streamers or in the area surrounding the streamers.
Just a gradual fading from brightness to darkness
in - in the - in every area. But we'll continue
to watch it for developments in that respect.

260 20 19 22 PLT So that's the end of this - of the debriefing for

now, and I'll see you in about a half hour.
Th _.nk you.

260 20 19 _4 PLT Oh, one last comment on the shopping list item
number 16. I ran MIRROR AUTO RASTER at that
same location for a couple of - of complete AUTO
RASTERs. And I left the GRATING where it was set
at 2063. I'm not confident that this is the -
gives you the optimum position, but that's what
happened to me from JOP 6.

260 20 20 lO PLT So that's the way it went in the ... shopping list
item.

TIME SKIP

260 20 B1 35 SPT Okay, this is the SPT with information about the
CDR, Al's _092/171 run. His left calf was
12-B/4 inches in circumference; his right calf,
1B-l/8. The cuffs were the same. Let me check
this. Correction, the bands on his legs were the
same. Let me check the blood pressure test since
we did switch that yesterday.

._- 260 20 32 28 SPT Okay, his blood pressure cuff is serial number 5,
and we'll Just keep with 5 until it needs to get
 2630

changed because of being damp or something like

that. So it is serial 5. A]] the rest of the
cuffs are Just the same.

260 20 32 40 SPT Just running down the completion of the 92 run

which has obviously gone well.

TIME SKIP

260 21 02 56 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A, with information

to the M092 PIs. We've completed test number 2,
M092. We're now in the middle of test number 1.
And 8 minutes, I pumped the cuff up to 30 or
35 millimeters and left it there. I see now I
should have deflated it at 5 minutes. I didn't
read that until I was beyond that point. So I
actually carried him at 30 millimeters until time
remaining 1. And - in other words, 7 minutes
instead of 3 minutes. So I'm going to let the time
count on down for 5 minutes at zero pressure. That
will carry the clock down to - I guess it starts at _-_
90, essenti_1]y 100. I think it starts at 9959 or
sc_ething like that.

260 21 03 43 SPT So I'll let the clock carry on down to about 96,
stop it at that point, then reset the clock, and
to 3 minutes - and redo it again - the second half
of the test number 1.

TIME SKIP

260 21 26 02 SPT Okay, we're setting up to run the 171 run now on
CDR, A1. And the GAS PRESSURE in the N2, 02, CO 2
bottle is 1367, 1367. And the gas pressure in the
N 2 WATER bottle is 1328, 1328. More later.

260 21 26 47 SPT Okay, for the - 171 Pls, the percent WATER in the
CABIN AIR is - correction, percent 02 is 67.90,
67.90. And the percent water is 2.35. And the
percent C02 is 2.26, and the ambient pressure is
h.985, 4.985 for ambient.
/

2631

260 21 36 06 SPT Okay, this is the SPT, on channel A, with more

information for the M171 people, this time on
VITAL CAPACITY.

260 21 36 14 SPT Al's three measurements are - onVITAL CAPACITY

are 4.625, h.537, h.680; VITAL CAPACITY measure-
ments for A1.

260 21 48 27 SPT Okay. This is the SPT on channel A, with informa-

tion for - I guess it's M074 PIs and Dr. Bill
Thornton, on the calibration of the SMMD in the
wardroom. About a hundred numbers and here they
come. I had to log them in the back of the book,
not where they normally go, because we ran out of
pages. We've done so many calibrations at this
point, Bill, that we don't even have any pages
left to log more calibrations in. And this was
done by the SPT, day 260; 72 degrees Fahrenheit,
temperature. Starting time was 18:00 and the
stop time is 18:53. I'll read six digits, the
first one and the last nine number in each sequence
will only be three digits, because the first three
_ remain the same. Zero mass, 1.95582, 663, 572,
582, 572, 555, 592, 557, 586, 589; 50 grams,
2.03110, 230, 185, 097, 256, 185, 187, 200, 183,
215; 100 grams, 2.10573, 570, 564, 533, 591, 584,
594, 561, 523, 585.

260 21 50 20 SPT Okay, and the next sequence is at 150 grams, 2.17667,
675, 665, 684, 675, 689, 681, 730, 699, 686; at
250 grams, 2.31266, 253, 247, 268, 275, 260, 248,
418, 257, 287. Now, you'll notice the eighth
number there was 418, and it seems exceptionally
large. I made a - an eleventh measurement in case
you wish to throw that one out. Could have been
a bad return on the lock or something like that.
My eleventh reading was 266. At 350 grams, 2.44050,
038, 084, 035, 087, 029, 087, 063, 061, 083; at
lO0 and - at 500 grams, 2.62150, 108, 086, 098,
084, 093, 142, 105, 058, 100; at 750 grams, 2.89654,
712, 678, 739, 677, 731, 705, 719, 725, 695; at
900 grams, 3.05134, 129, 125, 056, 124, 124, 171,
092, 124, 122; back at zero mass, 1.95556, 551,
544, 550, 565, 546, 546, 552, 553, 563. That's the
end of the cal, and I guess that does it for our
end of mission cal - cal - calibrations, Bill.
And we'll see you next week.

260 21 52 47 SPT That message goes to M074 Pls and Dr. Bill Thornton
in particular, from the SPT. Message complete.
2632

260 21 56 18 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

The subject is the debriefing of the last ATM run
at 20:54. I got the Nu Z update. I went through
the JOP 12 Dog. I made the mistake on the first
two exposures of not slewing. That's an unforgivable
sin, but we were in a quiet area, so perhaps it
won't bother you too much. But on the 200 -
2-m_nute _0-second exposure, I did slew. JOP 6
came off as advertised. And - well, it came off,
but not as advertised. We had a hangup on the
8056. Therefore, in order to make sure he got
Some data, rather tBAn pressing on to the qh_pping
list item, I elected to run his PATROL, LONG and
PATROL, SHORT in m_nual exposure. So I timed
them every one and turned them on and shut them
off according to the book. And I confirmed the
numbers with the ground and he got his PATROL,
LONG and his PATROL, SHORT. But in waiting for
the FILTER 2, mot noticing I wasn't stepping along,
we got behind.

260 21 57 35 PLT We did get the TV down-link but we did not get
shopping list item 4 and so that went on -

260 21 57 52 PLT We got to get some of the displays to look at the

EREP maneuver. However, if the _ZKEP maneuver
goes, why that's going to be it for today. Sorry
about that slew on XUV. And due to the fact that
the Sun was very quiet in the area where we were
doing the slew, why, perhaps it won't impair that
data. And I simply didn't get the 240-second one
set properly. So with that, I'll close the de-
briefing and see you later.

260 21 58 2_ PLT Thanks 'a lot.

260 23 59 57 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

We're getting ready for EREP pass number 36. We've
Just gone to SCAT on a S192 and Delta 6 is reading
57 percent.

###
 DAY 261 (AM) 2633

261 00 00 12 PLT That's all we're going to say for a little while,
but we 'll be back.

261 O0 12 59 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A again,

and we're going to proceed with the EREP number
36 pass. And we're Just now getting down past
T minus 10, and I'll give you the readings: Alfa 2
is 52 percent, okay; Alfa 3, 86 percent, okay;
Alfa 4, 71, okay; Alfa 5, 67 percent, okay; Alfa 6,
0 percent, okay; Alfa 7, we don't read Alfa 7.
Bravo 2, 50 percent, okay; Bravo 3, 76 percent,
okay; Bravo 4, 70 percent, okay; Bravo 5, 75 per-
cent, okay; Bravo 6, 43 percent, okay; Bravo 7,
31 percent, okay; Bravo 8, 1 percent, okay; Bravo 9
is 1 percent, not okay. That's because the
ALTIMETER is on. Charlie 2, 41 percent, okay;
Charlie 3, 87 percent, okay; Charlie 4, 70 percent,
okay; Charlie 5, 83 percent, okay; Cha_lie 6,
47 percent, okay; Cha_lie 7 is 54 percent, okay.
Delta 5, 13 percent, okay; Delta 6, 57 percent,
okay. All right, let me give you a few extra, if
I can. Bravo 7, 30 to 31 percent;Bravo 8, 1 per-
• cent. Charlie7, 55 percent - 4 - 54 to 55 percent
and that's less than 80, so it's okay. COOLER,
OFF. Delta 6, 57 percent, okay.

261 00 15 21 PLT Let's go 192 to MODE to READY. Get the DOOR, OPEN.

261 00 15 38 PLT Okay, the S190 W_ATER light SWITCH is off. The
PRESS TO TESTs, panel ll7, both of those lights
work. Okay, while we're Biting for the DOOR to
take shape -

CDR Right in here with Jack.

PLT That 's ...

CDR Good.

PLT We'll do the ready verification. And our GO time

is 19:10. We got 3 minutes yet. Our ready veri-
fication was as follows. We've already done it,
but let's doublecheck it. 192, HIGH, LOW, HIGH.
191 REFERENCE - CALIBRATE, 9; REFERENCE 2. 190
SH_I"I'_a_
SPW_n to M_nIWa_; FRAMES are 1 and 8; IN-
TERVALs are 20. 193 is NA, NA, and POLAR, 1.
That is POLAR, l, 193 A is not applicable, and
_- AUTO B on 194.
263_

and it really didn't look like there was

a whole lot new or particularly more well
defined than in the past. We've got lot's of
action on the east limb and about the same
amount on the west. Some of the streamers
have change - changed shape, and there's a
little more enhancement there and a little
less here; but, by and large, we don't have a -
a lot of extra to report. Looks like there's
one extra - or additional streamer on the
east limb than there - right at 270 than
there was -well, rath - rather it's disappeared.
I'm holding these two transparent things up
together, and one of them has disappeared at
270, but it's given way to lots of other
enhancement which stretches out to - shorter
distances. So nothing unusual - no different
to report on that.

258 23 27 08 PLT I got FILTER 3 and FILTER 4, LONG for S056 for
16 seconds exactly in both cases. And - yes,
you reported that there might have been some- _.
thing going on in the corona about midway
through the revolution, so what I did was to
throw another 43-second FAST SCAN in there and
gaze at the corona for_about l0 to 15 minutes,
looking away for a while then looking back
to see if anything was changing. But I
couldn't detect anything that was changing,
nor could I, throughout the whole rev, detect
any discontinuities in the corona, any unusually
bright spots with - with demarcation lines or
holes where the bright was separated from the
dark with any kind of demarcation. So I didn't
see anything unusual in the corona. Although,
at the end of the orbit Just before effective
sunset, I did again take another 43-second
FAST SCAN Just for good measure. So that kind
a wraps up the debriefing for - for this rev,
and we'll be back in another half hour or so.

258 23 28 22 PLT Thank you very much.

###
 263h

261 00 16 34 PLT Okay, we got the DooR, OPEN on 192. The READY
light is on. And we go to CHECK. Turns out the
READY lights.

261 00 17 02 CDR See how it's doing? l0 degrees, 19 degrees and

it's on. Okay, we're getting there. Remember
when we were first training on this stuff in the
Beta Building on these msneuvers and things. It
was a mystery. Now it seems plain. But then it
was - We've forgotten how complicated this whole
rig is that we're steering.
PLT Yes.

CDR Yes, we couldn't got into Z-LV; we couldn't get

it out and couldn't - all those numbers - Well,
they didn't mean anything.

PLT (Laughter). Those were the days, my friend. I

thought they would never end, you might say.
(Laughter)

_ CDR (Laughter)

261 00 17 41 PLT Shows how often you ... - -

CDR We've got a Job, babe.

PLT Yes.

CDR We've got a Job for another couple of years and

maybe another one after that. We don't know.
We never know.

PLT When's the Shuttle going to fly? (Laughter) For

56 days.

CDR When?

PLT Heck, I don't know.

CDR 7O - -

PLT 78 or 9.

261 O0 18 07 CDR Well, we'll get back in time to learn it. It

takes 3 years to learn it.

_ PLT (Laughter)
 2635

US.

261 00 21 41 CDR Maybe if they got some warm currents behind them.
In the wintertime, it gives them fits.

to go.

261 00 23 34 PLT Stand by for 24:25. What time of day is it there,

little ways off to our - east of our track.

CDR Is it ohayo gozaimasu or konban wa?

SPT I would guess so.

CDR At least, huh?

PLT Right. It depends on whether it's before noon

or not, O. Is your door open?

SPT Yes. We might get a little bit of luck on the

end of the pass.

PLT That's what we had last night when we were looking

at it out the window, you know. Just - northern
Japan.

261 00 24 09 PLT Take a shot of Sapporo. Okay, we're going to get

Charlie 4. They like that one. Alfa 2 is reading
29 percent. Tain't much. Charlie 4 is reading
71 percent, which is okay.

CDR Nothing to see, gentelemen. Cancel that one out

as a bad show. I've looked do%-n through these
little holes, and I can't find a hole that does
the Job. Saw no land, period. Sorry about that,
Jack.

PLT Yes, Well, that's too bad - -

261 00 26 25 CDR Well, there's land over there. No bay or anything

like that.
F_

PLT Man, those cloud covered - How about the northern

part? Are we over any uncloudy part, yet?

SPT It's coming up. It's Just cirrus up here on the

northern end.

CDR ... missed this bad ...

261 00 26 49 CDR An island up there.

It's reading 53. Detector l, eh? Seemed to me
it was reading low before. But _'m ready. Standing
by for 31:52. Charlie 4 is reading 71; okay.
May be it Just reads there when it is in CHECK.
Probably it. Must be it. Now it's wavering.
It's going down to 41 percent. Going down some
more. It's going down to 37. Alfa 2 is quitting.
Alfa 2 is 39. Stand by for S191 READY light.

' 261 00 31 53 PLT MARK. 191 READY light on. And we're going to
STOP.

261 00 31 58 PLT MARK. Okay, I go to SHUTTER Spws_n, FAST. Get

ready for Earth limb setup. I hammer on DAS, omit
postoperate, proceed to Earth limb, set the aper-
tures. Okay, that's what I'm going to do. I,
at this moment, am going to set those aperatures,
and then I'm going to disable FMC. Okay, raising
up good old 190 here. It Just seems to work flaw-
lessly all the time. I'm going to reset these
apertures. Number 1 is going to 6.7. That's
where it is right now, 6.7. Number 2,6.7.

261 00 32 44 PLT Set. In the detent. Number 3, 6.7; set come on

detent. There it is; in the detent.

PLT Number 4. Want something different, 2.8. You'll

never get it by adjusting the desiccants. There
we are, 2.8. 5 wants 4.0. That's exactly
where it is; h.O now.

261 00 33 14 PLT And the same way with number 6. He wants 4.0,
and that's where we're going to put him. Now
we're going to doublecheck all of these. That
SHUTTER SPEED is really up there. Doublecheck
numbers 1 through 3 is going to be 6.7. 1 is
in the detent; 2 is in the detent; 3 is in the
detent. Both of them - grabbed me there. I got
my hand on the little knob of the SHUTTER spindle.
Tried to pull it.

261 00 33 52 PLT Ho! Don't want to do that. Okay, we'll doublecheck

the rest of them. Number 3 and number 4 both
want - That's number 4 wants 2.8. That's where
it is. And number 5 and number 6 both want 4.0,
and that's where they are.

261 00 34 09 PLT Now we're going to fix this back in place. No

applause down there, you notice. Okay, I got to
clean the handle. Rotate that downward, which I'm
doing at the moment. All the apertures are veri-
fied to be set Just the way you like them. And
they're in. Tighten down the bolts. Make sure
the thing doesn't move them when it takes pictures.
 26_2

261 00 34 52 PLT Okay, we're leaving the door open. They're

tightened down. Now disable FMC. Let's do that
by opening rear shield. Now open. It's opened,
FMC breaker, which I Just opened. It's verified.
FMC breaker is opened. I closed the rear shield.

261 00 35 24 PLT Okay, what's next?

261 00 35 55 PLT Okay, 37 - Let me see what we've got. Omit post-
operate; proceed Earth limb; set the apertures,
which we did. No filter change; we didn't change
filters. Disable FMC; we've done that. 37:50
is the next time. It's coming up very shortly.
38:50 we go to START.

261 00 36 38 PLT Alfa 2 is now reading h8 percent, and Charlie 4

And now we're going to do an AUTO CAL, here.

261 00 38 00 PLT MARK. AUTO CAL. Okay, now we stand by and get
the AUTO CAL READY light for 191; it's next. I
break out my butterscotch pudding. Simply lick
the lid so I don't cut my toe - tongue. Pardon
me if I eat in front of you. I knew you'd return.

CDR I got your food out, most of it.

PLT Thank you.

J

CDR Your drink's finally - or the pudding, so you'll

have a couple there to work on.

PLT Okay, thank you.

CDR Okay, I'm looking at my pad. Everything I need

to know is there. It says, "Start the camera
at _h:13 and don't stop." Tmmediately below the
horizon, zero T.k_T/RIGHT. Okay.

261 00 39 24 PLT This butterscotch pudding tastes llke every other

butterscotch pudding I've had for the last -
how long has it been? 2-1/2 months. Yes, it f--_
does. It tastes like nothing.
 &

_ 26h3

[ CDR Cold in the mouth, thongh ; that feels good.

PLT Cold, yes.

CDR Put that down, would you?

261 00 39 46 PLT If I ever have a butterscotch pudding factory,

I'm going to make sure there's enough butterscotch
in the pudding.

CDR I think you ought to have one, too. Think of the

impact you could make on the food world.

261 00 40 03 PLT Well, what do you expect, you know? Put together
by Whirlpool. How good can you make it in a
washing machine (laughter), huh?

CDR I don't know.

PLT It's got to be a little bit bland. Mix it up

with _11 that other chow, you know. That was a
pun; I didn't really mean that. Whirlpool is a
_ good outfit. I got one of their washing machines ;
still working after l0 years. They replaced the
motor once. Okay.

261 00 40 46 PLT. There we are; the 191 READY light is ON. Now I
stand here until 44:00 and eat my butterscotch
pu ddi ng.

261 00 41 15 CDR One of the things you learn to work through - work
with here on this flight is time. You learn when
to watch it and when you can cool it.

PLT Yes.

CDR Scmething that I really didn't know until I got

here. And on a day-to-day basis, you're operating
against it all the time.

261 00 41 31 PLT Good observation.

CDR Really is.

PLT Know what is time-critical and what isn't.

CDR Yes. Like now, you know that ti - MY rule now

is if it gets within 2 or 3 minutes, that's all
I think about.
 2644

PLT Yes.

261 00 4i 42 CDR I've tried earlier in the mission to sandwich

the two, so to spesk. (Laughter) As you can see,
it didn't work out. We're coming up on time to
start doing that, too.
t

PLT I have found that to be so true - that if I try

to do several things at once - I say I'm going to
come back and get this - in 30 seconds I forget
it. I'm off doing the other thing, and I forgot
to do it.

261 00 42 05 CDR I've come to the conclusion there's not much you
can think about in a - in a minute or so, unless
it's Just daydream_ug as you watch. You can't
"shift gears." Your "scan rate" isn't that fast.
Well, mine isn't.

PLT Uh-uh.

261 00 42 24 CDR h2:30. I got to go this operation at 44:13,

which means I've got to stay on it right now.
Nothing I can do but stay on it.

PLT 40, 40. Come on. 4h. Well, it's going to be

here pretty quick.

261 00 42 50 S Skylab, this is Houston Surgeon greeting you on

mission day 52.

PLT Hello there, Jerry. How are you today?

CDR How you doing, Big Jer?

261 00 42 58 S Fine; doing real fine down here. Now can y'all
say the same for yourselves?

CDR Oh, we could if we felt the urge.

S Think you're up to it today to say that you're

all okay?

261 00 43 09 CDR We're better than that.

SPT Hey, Just a second, fellows. You know whatever

we say is now going to be recorded on channel A
for playback to EREP and all those other guys.
 26_5

CDR Okay.

PLT That's right; we got to tmlk om the recorder, too.

SPT Now, Jerry, there 's no way to make this a private

ccmm tonight.

261 00 43 24 S Okay, got Just a couple of things. Thanks for the

drug inventory. One item that y'all started was
in the drug emergency kit, or should we say Just
the emergency kit in W-700 - You said the
laryngoscope was in there, and you didn't find
that, Owen. l'd appreciate if you could Just at
least confirm if that's in its original location
or the therapeutic kit.

SPT Okay, I'ii take a look for it. It might - If

it was in a package, you know, maybe I forgot to
count it. I'i! find it tonight and give you a
call on channel A.

PLT We have an extra pole in the twin-pole sail we

could use.

261 00 hh 02 PLT MAHK. MODE to READY on 192.

we, 0.?

261 00 hh Ii PLT MARK. MODE to SINGLE on 190.

SPT Hello, Jerry. The B - -

CDE CAMERA' s ON.

S Okay, I'm still here. I wanted to also Just

confirm that as far as this 2-hour shii=t - -

261 O0 44 20 PLT MARK. MODE to SINGLE on 190. SHUTTER SPEED,

SLOW.

S - - Just one of you needed the Seconal. Otherwise,

everything went smooth in at least the first half
/_ of the shift?

SPT That's correct. And I guess tomorrow night we'll

shift another 2 hours.
2646 _ '"

261 00 49 3h PLT MARK. SINGLE. SHUTTER SPEED, MEDIUM.

S One important message - very important from

Paul Buchanan. I tA]ked to him today. And
it's: If you all would plan to have at least
enough urine to urinate immediately on getting
into the SML, it would really expedite the
SML procedure on board the recovery ship.

SPT Have it put in the checklist - -

261 O0 44 55 PLT MARK. MODE to STANDBY.

SPT - - and we'll see how it goes.

S Okay, I realize it's a biological problem - -

261 00 44 58 PLT MARK. MODE to SINGLE ....

S - - but you got to give old Paul Buchanan a

hand there, and he'll appreciate it gladly.

PLT Okay. We got one we didn't want there.

261 O0 h5 08 S I Just wanted to mention that as far as that

TV viewing yesterday, we're going to have a film
cut out of it so we San study it a little closer
for, you know, Just how to improve the checkouts.

PLT The horizon ...

261 00 h5 18 SPT Okay, that sounds very interesting. I'm sure

things can be improved on it with a little bit
of useful criticism from the ground. And you
see, it was the first time that we'd had a
chance to run through it, and we've never had
a chance to take a look at it to see how it
csme out or anything. Our monitors aren't very
good. So I'm not convinced that it can't be done
substantially better, as it perhaps was demon-
strated.

261 O0 h5 39 S Good. And as far as the 092 today on AI, we

ran out of real time at about 3 minutes into
the run. There were a couple of HEART RATEs
of 96. I'd Just like to hear from you all how
thatrunterminated.
 26_T

261 00 45 39 SPT It was very fine; no problem. And I think those

were spurious HEART RATEs, in looking. And I
sealed them off as an analog change - -

261 00 45 57 PLT MARK. SINGLE ...

SPT - - because the automatic readout on the ESS will

Jump up and down by plus or minus 5 or l0
occasionally, and I think it - tops of more like
90 would be about right.

S Probably an average, yes, as far as what we

saw. But I do want to confirm, because we did
see a few high ones and it wasn't clear how it
was going to end, with what we saw.

261 00 46 18 CDR It was a great run; no-sweat run.

S Glad to hear that. Just - Shall we Just close

then on - From this, I close on one good note.
"_ A preliminaryreport from the food people shows
that, Owen, you might be able to get about
three or four chocolate malts per week without
too much perturbation of the diet, and I'd hold
them to this initial claim. But that's what
they first reported in the food report.

261 00 46 42 CDR Is that all?

SPT Okay, you tell them that we're very - I'm very
encouraged and about halfway to the goal.

S For once a day.

SPT That's right.

S Okay. Well look, that's about it from this side

for tod%y. If you ain't got nothing else, we'll
turn it down back to the rest of the show.

261 O0 46 57 SPT Okay, fine, Jerry. We'll do that, and remember

tonight we - l'm sure this is going to be recorded
all over the countryside.

S Right; so we'll Just take on and carry on tomorrow.

SPT Okeydoke.
 2648

CDR Bye, Jerry.

S Good night to you all.

261 00 47 l0 PLT Thank you, Jerry, and we'll - -

CDR Bye, Bye.

PLT - - be sure to save some extra urine for our

friend, Paul.

S Right. He sure will appreciate that, if he

can get that. (Laughter)

SPT Why not ?

PLT Hello there again, Dick. Coming down the pike,

here.

261 00 47 55 CDR It was snow covered - cloud covered over Japan,

Dick. The northern tip was clear - no - well,

got a bad horizon on this one, Dick. It's -
We must be going into dark because it Just wasn't
distinct at all. I hope this comes out to
their satisfaction.

PLT How's Big Red down there today, Dick?

261 00 49 06 CC "Curly Hair" is on tonight.

CDR What's he doing?

261 00 49 12 PLT Let's hear it for the Flight Director. Every-

body give him a holler.

CDR Yea!

PLT Yea! For the Flight Director.

CDR Yea! (Laughter)

PLT I bet he's almost as good a guy as Hutch is.

CDR Ask him what we're going to do with that

6 hours between tunnel close out and undocking.

PLT I wonder if Big Bill is going to buy the whole -

all the flight controllers dinner, like Hutch
is.

CDR He is. There's no doubt in m_ m_ rid.

261 O0 _9 37 PLT A good guy like him, wealthy bachelor. (Laughter)

SPT Wouldn't be surprised.

 2650

261 O0 h9 52 PLT I wonder if they get per diem for being in the

PLT Government quarters first, though.

CDR Oh.

261 00 50 03 CDR 50:01; boy, this is a tough one.

PLT Never lose your senseof humor. _-_

261 00 50 21 CC I'm trying. (Laughter)

"Here they come again. Oh! ... " 52:29.

CC 31 ; okay.

PLT And when we were in CHEC-K, Aifa 2 was dolng some

"squirrely" things. It was moving up and down be-
tween - This is before we start the Earth-limb pass.
It was oscillating between 37 and, say, 40 - h5 or
50; Just going real slow and without any apparent
direction to its motion. Since you want to know
Alfa 2, Charlie h, I thought that might have been
a - a little interesting piece of data. Okay

261 00 53 31 PLT 192: DOOR, CLOSE. Pull to latch the window.

Okay. One little piece of data - data you might
want to have there, Dick, is concerning the M518.
It reset - It's out of SOAK now. It was in - the
SOAK TEMPERATURE. I'll give it to you later; I -
I ain't got it written down. But the guys seem to
want to know that.

261 00 54 08 CC Okay. And, Jack, one thing. This next Vanguard

pass is the last pass of the evening, and we're
hoping to have that set up with you pre your pri-
vate comm. And I did have a question for you
about one of the things you did earlier today.
It had to do with the photography of the S183 stow.
We - You reported down that transporter 02 where
we had the transporter 0B scheduled. And we think
probably that - that the film on transporter 03
was used up earlier, but we weren't sure what -
which. We understand the configuration of the
transporters, but we were interested to know what
happened on the 183 photography.

261 00 54 49 PLT I got the prep when I got the stow. I Just did
it on different transporters on account of the 07,
I guess, was less than the required amount. And _-_
I was able to get all the stow in on the one that
I did. So the rest, I guess, is on the film log.
But I did get a photograph of prep and the stow.
 2653

CC Okay. Thank you.

261 00 55 12 PLT Yes, sir. Okay, AI, I'ii get that for you;
Just a second here.

261 l0 08 47 PLT Good morning, space fans. This is Jack on

channel A. The subject is the debriefing of the
first ATM run of the day, which began at 09:27,
with a little VTR. We looked at the corona; we
looked at the XUVMONITOR a couple of times, and
then we took a tour of the Sun's active regions.
We reported a brand new active region, 270, on
the limb, and we designated that to be the new
... number 31, the old number 02. And it appar-
_ ently has - apparentlyis the brightestthing on
the Sun at the moment in XUV, but we'll talk about
that in a minute. Didn't notice anything other -
anything else of significance on the tour around
the Sun. And then we did the JOP 6. We got it
all Just like you requested, and S056 ran off
without a hangup in PATROL; NORMAL, LONG, and
SHORTS a few times. That's how we went into
observing time, and about the onlY thing I had to
run was S055. And so I selected shopping list
item number 5 and then went to active region 27
and active region 31.

261 i0 i0 ii PLT I peaked up the DETECTORS at - DETECTOR 3, that is,

(GRATING, all zeros) on active region 27 and ran
GRATING, AUTO SCAN; DETECTORS, i and 2. I then
did the same thing for active region 31. By the
way, the maximum reading I could get out of
active region 27 on DETECTOR, 3; GRATING, all
zeros was about 2000. However, I was able to
get a mawimum reading of 8000, same setting, active
region 31. So we concluded the revwith GRATING
AUTO SCANs; DETECTORS, 1 and 2 in both active
regions 27 and 31, the brightest point available.

2_i i0 i0 57 PLT So that there takes care of the orbit, and we'll
be back in about half an hour. Tb_nk you.

PLT (Whistling)

261 l0 45 02 PLT Hey! Okay, space fans, here we are in Skylab,

orbiting about 275 miles above the Earth's weight-
less condition. But that doesn't change the fact
that every day we've got to go through the daily
routine, as far as brushing teeth and shaving and
what not is concerned. We have the convenience
that it tskes to do the Job. Okay, we have a
picture of Al Bean getting out his little windup
razor to do s_ne shaving. Good mechanical device.
We also have safety razors, but they're very
difficult to rinse off up here and to clean up.
It takes longer to shave with a safety razor; so
 2655

we've got this little mechanical, windup razor

shaver we can use to do the Job. Of course, one
thing that could happen is all the little whiskers
could float all over; so we also have to have a
shaver that contains the little whiskers. They
don't fly around and float all over; they're Just
contained within the shaver. And when the spring
runs out of tension, why you can wind it up a_ain,
as you see him doing now. First, he has to fasten
himself down. Puts his feet - his legs - Wedges
himself in between the walls of the waste manage -
management c_npartment and positions h_m_elf very
nicely in front of the mirror.

261 i0 47 18 PLT Of course, we don't have ar_thing that's made out

of glass up here. Could break and fly all over.
So our mirrors are polished metal. See here?
Been cleaned today, especiall_ for this show,
We each little have - we each have a little over-
night kit, much as you would travel with on the
ground. Has our shaver in it, other it_m_ required
for personal hygiene - toothbrush, cunb, toothpaste,
and so forth. Takes the little head off the shaver
now and cleans it out by tapping it against the
screen in front of the fan or the blower. We'll
collect it on this little screen, and then later
on, why we can clean the screen off. Okly, O.,
would you turn the VTR off, please?

261 i0 48 23 PLT I'll get it. Don't worry.

261 i0 48 28 PLT We'll come back.

SPT ... turn that light off,

SPT ... turuuing them off, are you?

SPT Jack, you want the VTR off, right?

SPT Jack? Jack? Want the VTR off?

PLT No, leave it on.

261 i0 49 42 PLT Now you see him, with the aid of a flashlight,
doing a better Job. Okay, get down in there
where he can see what's going on. Taking a close
look with a flashlight to make sure he's got them
all.

I

261 l0 50 lh PLT Okay. As soon as he's about done, he's going to

clean the head out, put it away, put it in his
little, secret compartment up there where he has
a number of other things stored. Okay, he's get-
ting towels and washcloths right there to clean
up with. He gets the red one.

261 l0 50 _9 PLT There's a little, hot water dispenser right there.

That's our sink. See, the bar of soap has a
little metal piece in it to hold it to the magnet
that's in there. He squirts a little water on his
rag. We have a wat - hot water heater. See the
little drops of water flying all over? Water
doesn't go down here. Now he puts his washrag in
the washrag squeezer to get the water out of it,
holds it out, and hangs it up to dry. That's a
little, rubber-type device to stick things into
(Just like he's doing there) to hold them down,
keep them from floating all over.

• 261 l0 51 _l PLT And we have all the comforts of hc_e here. A s--_
little shaving lotion even, to make that shave
just a little bit smoother. Okay, hurry up, A1;
we're going to have inspection in 5 minutes.

261 ii 55 37 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

The subject is S183. We've got the S183
SHUTTER OPENED. We actuated the SEQUENCE at
11:55, promptly. And the stepper motor works.
, 265T

And the exposure is now being taken on field

Oscar Alfa Bravo, a 5-minute exposure. The
ROTATION is set at 4.2, and the TILT is 4._
The Nu Z on the pad is 3.6 plus, and that on the
spacecraft is plus 4.2; and so no correction was
required.

261 ii 56 35 PLT And we should be all set up to start our next

exposure at 12:00. The DAC has been checked out
at 24 frames a second for a couple seconds and
is now on time in i/6Oth - requested. And for
now, we'll go off the headset and come back to
record later.

261 12 03 39 PLT Okay, S183 again. The exposure was - first

exposure was terminated; stepper motor was
heard to operate. Second onewas initiated;
stepper motor worked. The SHUTTER OPENED at
12:02:52, which will give us the 21 minutes
requ/red to complete the exposure before the
end of the period, which is 12:23. And we have
a 1260-SECONDEXPO6URE set on plate nuzber 2,
which is, of course, not in there. But the
stepper motor in the PLATE ADVANCING system is
working. _n_ this is field Papa Mike Ch-_lie,
PMC. The ROTATION is set at 203.8, and the
TILT is 14.3.

261 12 0_ 30 PLT And with that, we'll 80 off the air for about
15 or 20 minutes and then wait for this to
time out.

261 12 22 30 PLT Okay, here we are again, space fans, on S183.

We're going to wait for this here SHUTTER to close.
And if it doesn't close in 25 seconds, we are
going to close it. According to my timepiece,
it ought to be closing in Just about 2 seconds,
if it's working right. Well, it didn't; so
we're going to close it.

261 12 23 00 PLT MARK. We CLOSED it right at 12:23. Stepper

motor is stepping. And I timed the S_ -
should have CLOSEDprecisely at 22:52, but I
did - it didn't close, and I hadto take care
of that at precisely 23:00. And so it probably
_ was very close to closing. So the PLATE ADVANCE
Jumped up to number 3, and we'll go ahead and
secure this machine. And this information goes
to Dr. Courtes of France. And over in building _,
2658

probably ought to go to Wally Teague and some of

those troops over there.

261 13 23 09 SPT SPT on channel A, debriefing the last ATM pass.

We did all of the maxi-RASTER and the initial
JOP 6 of the - on that schedule. And then at
the end, had a few minutes left over; so went
back to Sun center and gave FAST SCAN for
h3 seconds. Took a look at the corona. Although
I couldn't see anything different, I thought your
extra four frames would be well spent there,
Bob. And then at the end, went to magnesi_ X
and did a JOF 7, although I'm not sure about
whether ET dump will encroach too much.

261 13 23 36 SPT It looks like -yes, looks like there's been

significant attenuation there; so you might very
well get an atomic oxygen profile out if there's
anything there, Gethyn and George. So looks like
we've got - 7 should have useful data, also.

longer. The N 2 pressure is ll50 psi at this
point, and Jack Just finished the 0GI portion
of the 131.

261 lh 04 26 SPT And he has a few questions that he might want to

answer either now or a little later. And we're
moving on to the MS section. You'll get them

 2659

261 14 30 27 PLT Okay, this is Jack on channel A. The subject is

debriefing on the M131 run. This information goes
to biomed people, Dr. Earl Miller and Dr. Jerry
Homick. Did I have a sense of rotating or other-
wise moving during the OGI test? Well, I could
sort of tell I was rotating at the higher rpms;
at the lower ones, I could not. That was a "seat-
of-the-pants" type of feeling. I think the - the
harder youhave yourself prepped for the feeling,
the more you get that. And, of course, I saw the
line move when I rotated; so that's the only other
sense that I had.

261 i_ 31 08 PLT Did the line target ever move in a direction other
than the expected horizontal left/right? And the
answer is "No." No additional comments other
than those that we've stated before. I did the
MOTION SENSITIVITY test COUNTERCLOCKWISE at
30 RPMs. Had no symptoms to speak of. I noticed
the difference in the rotation right away when I
did the head movements, that my body was Just
slewing different directions than it is when you
rotate clockwise. The other day, I had a few
very minor symptoms, not enough to - to put in amy
of the push - pushbuttons, and it took a while for
them to go away, although they - they weren't sig-
nificaat. That is, they were not anything that I,
on the ground, would record as being a symptom,
although I Just noticed that I felt a little dif-
ferent. Today, I dOn't necessarily feel that
different. I feel a- a minor difference, but
it's even more insignificant t_an it was the
other day. And if it persists for a very long
time, I'll let you know_ but I doubt that it will.

261 14 32 25 PLT So that kind of takes care of - Well, I think one

reason that we have been starting to feel a few
symptoms, mainly minor ones, is that we haven't
been doing as much tumbling as we normally - as
we did at the beginning of the flight. The novelty
of tmnbling around has kind of worn off, and so
we don't tumble near - nearly as much. And I
notice that when I do tUmble, why my gyros uncage
a flip-flop more than they did at first. Although
I don't feel ill from it, I noticed that something's
_ going on in my head. So perhaps this has got
something to do with a little more of sensitivity
to the motion sensitivity tests than - than we had
exhibited in the past. So that's the end of my
2660

comments on that. If I have anything else, I'll

let you know later. Thank you.

261 14 58 12 SPT This is the SPT on channel A, debriefing the ATM

pass that Just finished here at about 14:57 Zulu.
Started off on schedule. *** building block 6.
We were switching operators right here at that point
building block 6 or sha - JOP 6, building block 2
and 54 got in an extra M, 2, 0, S, 256, which they
may not have wanted. But one extra sequence there
that we really shouldn't have had.

261 14 58 42 SPT Then went into the limb scan program, 1E - JOP 1E.
Not limb scan, but spicule studies at the limb.
And went to the north pole, and the - there was r_
a rather ragged appearance to the spicules. They
all appeared to be more or less normal to the
limb, but there was a bit of unevenness to it.
And I tried to pick a spot where the spicules were
fairly prominent, although hazy. Couldn't see
individual ones very well. And there were also
no individual spicules sticking up above the rest,
as is sometimes observed. But I got what appeared
to be the most likely location, within, oh, 5 de-
grees or so of the north pole, and rolled to put
the limb horizontal. And that's the procedure
that the two building blocks called for.

261 14 59 42 SPT I had a bit of observing time at the end and then
went over to active region 27. Aligned the 82B
slit along the - parallel to the neutral line.
There was a - a section of bright plage of fairly
substantial length, more or less straight ....
to be along that. And took one EXPOSURE for 82B
and a partial MIRROR AUTO RASTER,

261 15 O0 l0 SPT Then there are about three rather prominent bright
spots somewhat to the west of the ***, and I took
one of those, which is particularly bright, on the
XUVMON. And it has a very small H-alpha signa-
ture, and the coordinates you get **# I did pick ;
it up on S055, and it does match exactly where
our crosshairs are on the XUV MON.
 2661

261 15 00 36 SPT Oxygen Vl starts at about 3000; inside of a couple

of minutes, it was down to i000, but still it was
the brightest spot on the - brightest element in the
the vicinity of that bright spot. So I went ahead
and did a GRATING AUTO SCAN at that point, and
then I picked up with MIRROR LINE RASTERs _-_e-
diately following. Within about 4 or 5 m_nutes,
the count was up over 3000 again. It had dropped
from 3000 down to I and back up to 3 again. And
so after doing the GRATING AUTO SCAN, I did a -
a mini-AUT0 RASTER and then some MIRROR LINE SCANs
to complete the orbit and also picked up JOP 7 at
the end of the orbit. So I was Just doing MIRROR
LINE SCANs across that bright spot to complete
the orbit. Also took another 240 exposure for
82B on that bright spot. So that might turn out
to be of some interest. About ready to power down
for the EREP.

261 18 21 16 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

The subject is biomed, an M131-1 run on our
friend, Owen Garriott, for Dr. Earl Miller and
Dr. Jerry Homick. We Just completed the OGI
part of this run. Owen will, no doubt, want
to debrief, either now or later. The nitrogen
pressure is llSO. And I might point out that
Owen was drowsy for this run, but probably
not as drowsy as I was for this morning's run.

261 18 21 48 PLT So that piece of information ought to be

factored into the data. Now here's Owen.

261 18 21 56 SPT That was the main comment. I'm sorry that
I have to report it, but I must have missed
at least three of those simply because I didn't
feel the tap on the shoulder. And by the time
he reminded me a response was due, I expect
the acceleration had stopped. I don't know
how long the illusion carries on after the
acceleration is over, but at least three or
four of them -

PLT Didn't I give NO RESPONSE about three times?

 2671

261 18 22 22 SPT Usu,11y he'd give a NO RESPONSE was simply because

I did not open my eyes in time. And when I
opened them, I - there was no apparent indica-
tion of motion. No other sense of rotation,
particularly, except during the final HIGH step.
Maybe I did have a little bit then. Line target
oscillates back and forth a little bit; maybe
up and down a little bit, too. But Just about
like other bike - about like normal other than
that.

261 18 22 h6 SPT End of my comments. And Jerry, see you fellows

in about a week or so.

261 18 24 07 PLT And another comment for the MI31 run. Just
discovered that the SUBJECT SELECT switch was
in i as opposed to 2. So all that data that
was taken on - on 0wen will show up with Al's
signature on it; however, it should be describing
Owen only.

261 18 44 38 SPT Okay, SPT on Channel A to the M31 - 131 Pls,

Jerry Homick and Earl Miller and others. And
Just finished 30 RPM, CIfK_/WISE rotation this
time, since I did C0_sT_CLOCKWISE last time.
And still Just about the same. I do notice a
little dizziness after each head movement, and it
damps out in 2 or 3 seconds. It's Just about
like having taken scop-Dex at ground level. Of
course up here, we didn't have any; so we didn't
take any.

261 18 45 06 SPT And .there's no communication of any of this

perturbation to the stomach awareness sensors,
whatever they m_y be. And Just came out of the
chair and don't really have any symptoms now. So
looks to be okay at this point.

blood pressure cuff had a drawstring failure.
It looked like it'd been worn. Perhaps this is
the one they wore - used onSL-2 a lot. But in
any event, it broke; and my recommendation would
be to have Jer bring up another nice drawstring
and string it when he gets here.

261 20 36 03 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. Now we did 92, and it
came off real well. Then we did special test 2,
and then we ... - which we didn't like much
because we used the same legband on the right
leg as indicated in the plans, but we kind of
felt that still it shouldn't be that way, that we
should use one that fit better, since his leg is
12-1/4 and the legband size is 13 - Just a minute.

261 20 36 h2 CDR Excuse me; I had to put him down to 8 millimeters.

So anyway , we ran the test; checked with the
ground, by the way. Then after we finished that
test, then we went test i, and that came off okay.
 2673

We asked the ground, and they indicated that you

really wanted us to change the cuff. So we did.
I changed to a 12-13 cuff; let me give you the
code number.

261 20 37 i0 CDR Its code number's CT. That's CT. So that one
fits well, and so we're running test number 2
over again. And right now we're getting down to
7 minutes, and l've got to pump him up to
16 millimeters; so I'ii be off the co-,,.

261 21 03 53 PLT Hello, space fans. This is Jack on channel A

debriefing the 18:43 ATM run. I ran it off pretty
much as you - as you had requested. We got the
shopping list item 17. And then we ran the
MIRROR LINE SCAN at quiet region i. Now there
was a little bit of confusion about why we
specified a building block i0 and then an 18.
And I interpreted that to mean that you wanted it
to be run for a little while at slit center,
which JOP 2 specifies, and then the rest of the
time at line 25, which building block 18 specifies.
And I checked in on the ground on that, and
apparently what they wanted to do was run the
whole thing at slit center; and so that's what
was done. So the pointing was at - of the
MIRROR LINE SCAN was at 80 arc seconds, positive.
And that was run through zero zero.

261 21 04 08 PLT And that pretty much completes the debriefings

for that rev, and I'ii be back to debrief the
2017 rev momentarily.

TIME SKIP

261 22 _6 19 SPT Okay, SPT on chsnnel A is giving you information

on the last pass, which Just finished about -
looks like about 22:_5. Now, we did everything
on the schedule. And after that, we went over
to a bright spot and there's a very small
267h

H-alpha signature visible; very sm_]l point,

almost unnoticeable, nothing spectacular, but
it has a good XUV signature. And oxygen VI
intensities were up 2000 or 3000, at that point.
Very good contrast in the background, like, oh,
50 or 100 to 1. And so we d/d the GRATING
AUTO SCAN, took an 823 SHORT, 2 plus _0. And
then did a - sort of a portion of a mini-RASTER
at that spot.

261 22 47 12 SPT Then went over and tried to pick up another bright
spot. Did find it, but didn;t really have time to
do much with it, Just gave it a sort of a mini-
RASTER. Didn't have enough time left to give it
a proper MAR spectral analysis. And then hurriedly
went to Sun center and set up on 766 for S055,
JOP 7, and got 52 initiated in the appropriate J0P 7
mode also. So everything was done as per plan, ex-
cept a couple of bits of information extra on bright
spots. And now some FRAMES R_4AINING: H-ALPHA is
3065; 3172 for 82A; 60 for 823_ 799 for S052; and
703 for AS&E. And now I'm beg_nn_ug to power
down the panel for the unattended 0PS.

261 22 48 09 SPT Message to the ATM PIs and planners from the SPT.
 DAY 262 (AM) z675

262 08 04 40 SPT This is the SPT on channel A debriefing what

we did on this first half hour of this short
ATMpass which ended about 08:0_. First thing
we did was to do your shopping list 17 at Sun
center and then went over and took a look at
active region 31, and gave it a partial GRATING
AUTO SCAN, and a partial MIRRORAUTORAS_R and
an XUV SHORT, 2plus 40 which should have been
a pretty good one because there was a nice
long, more Or less, linear bright line par-!lel
I to the neutral line. And after that we went over
and picked up a bright spot, one which I think
will not be steady in the next few orbits. So
I thought I'd give you a little extra information
on this because it is pretty bright in the XUV
and a pretty good contrast on oxygen VI. It's
to the northwest, about 0.3 in the - are the
coordinates, of course.

262 08 05 36 SPT Unfortuately, we're not going to have any

H-alpha because we can't get any frames taken
this morning. There is a very small H-alpha
signature. It Just looks like a little bright
in the background H-alpha. So you can notice
it, once you knowwhere it is. But had you not
known that there was an XUV signature, you
wouldn't have picked it out as being anything
very spectacular. And I didn't have time to
pick up another bright spot though l've got
some settings on that, coming up on the next
orbit. And then I did give you a little bit
of J0P 7, MIRROR LINE SCAN. I don't think it
was pointed at anything in particular. Did
GRATING zero. Oxygen VI is certainly not ex-
tinguished by any means at effective sunset.
l'm not sure whether these other lines are going
to have any larger atomic oxygen cross sections,
but if not, I think l'm going to be going to
19_i where I can get magnesium X, which I know
is going to be extinguished in a higher
altitude. Whenever I have time, l'm goingto be
sitting on 19_i _In]ess I hear otherwise. I
would appreciate a verbal update if you thJn_
there is another grating Position that's as good
or better from a standpoint of getting terrestrial
absorption to a higher altitude. We do need to
2676

get some lines that are going to be absorbed

higher up since effective sunset is cutting
into our Sun availabilltytime.

262 09 39 25 SPT Okay, SPTwith info to the ATM PIs and planners,
debriefing the ATM pass that Just finished here
at about 09:37. The J0P 6 went off as scheduled.
And then as far as bright spots are concerned,
there's about three good bright spots over towards
the west limb. Now the furthest bright spot at
about ll0/0.7 or 0.8 has probably been designated
an active region; I believe that's the one over
there. The H-alpha signature is very slight, but
m_ guess is that's the one that's been identified.
Just a second; I'll check the numbers.

262 09 20 35 SPT That's probably the one that's designated active

region 30. On the map it's called 0.5, and there's
re-1]y nothing at 0.5 radii. There is another one
a little closer to Sun center and another one a
little further to the north. And the one a little
further to the north, I gave a bit of information
on during the first rev of the day this morning.
Gave a GRATING AUT0 SCAN and a partial RASTER on
that. Also the one that's now at about 0.3 radii
looks a little further developed and perhaps has
a little more potential for study later on. So
that's the one I picked this morning for this
particular rev as the more thorough bright spot
to study, which we're doing this past rev and the _-_
next rev too.
 2677

262 09 41 27 SPT So _ coordinates, which you've got on telemetry,

of course, are 292ROLL, minus 132 UP - or DOWN -
let's see - it's DOWN, 132 and RIGHT, plus h56 -
to put me on the bright spot. And it's got pretty
good contrast, at least in oxygen VI, audwe peaked
up -well, there really is Just avery small spot
Just a few arc seconds or so, and it does have a
s_11 H-alpha signature. Again I looked at the
H-alpha scope - H-alpha 2 and found nothing detect-
able until I looked closely at Just the right spot
on the XUV MON, and sure enough, there's Just a
little bright 4 there.

262 09 42 08 SPT As a matter of fact, there are actually two. There's

one to the east and one to the west. The one to
the west is slightly more bright. So it's the
westernmost of these two little bright dots that I
selected. I also rolled to make sure that the XUV
SLIT only crossed one of the two bright spots and
not the other. And then Just carried out the
building blocks ll and l0 as specified. And we'll
of course, Continue the study the next rev, and
it does look like it ought to be a fairly interesting
location to look at.

262 lO 20 lO SPT SPT on channel A; info to the PIs - ATMPIs and

planners. For the last rev on the bright spot 1
we were looking at, I think I may have mixed the
contrast at oxygen VI of 50 to 100 to 1. Now I
forgot to put the decimal; I meant 5 or l0 to 1.
And I'm back on the same bright spot the next rev
here. We've moved very slightly over the course of
a half hour, and the maximum flux looks more like
3000 counts now. It's about 50 percent to a
100 percent above the maximum flux I was managing
or able to get on the last rev. So we're off and
running on bright spot 1 again at this time, and
I'll complete the debriefing at the end of the
orbit.

262 l0 21 O1 SPT Incidentally, one other thing I forgot to mention

last time: I did give you a bit of JOP 7 data on

262 ii i0 20 SPT Okay, SPT on channel A with information for the

ATM PIs and planners. I'm debriefing the run which
Just ended at ll:10 Zulu. I went back to bright
spot 1. I think I mentioned on the last message
that it had moved Just a little bit, but completed
step l, B, and 4 on JOP 17 Alfa. Then I was
_mning a bit ahead of schedule and so I inserted
an extra step; it's essentially step 2 because
I noticed that- Standby. _
 2679

262 ii Ii O0 SPT Okay, because I noticed that the intensity had

not really fallen off more than about halfway,
by stepping 5 to 6 arc seconds to either side.
And so I Stepped on out to about RIGHT, 1463,
which was some - correction - I stepped on out to
about RIGHT, 475, which is some 18 arc seconds
to the right from the initlalbright spot, to get
a picture of a little bit quieter region.

262 ii ii 41 SPT And essentially repeated the GRATING AUTO SCAN

and 82B exposures. Then completed step 5 of 17A.
Still had a little extra observing time, so I
went to another bright spot. I believe this was
the bright spot that I used two revs ago, but I'm
not certain. And had time for Almost a complete
GRATING AUTO SCAN, not quite, and a _0-second
82B exposure on that additional bright spot. And
then went to Sun center and did a item 17 for
so52.

f-'_ • 262 Ii 12 19 SPT I worked below the 400-kilometer region, but I

don't believe it made any difference. I took a
look at the white light coronagraph after the
FAST SCAN and no indication of any earthshine or
limb gathering coming in from the bright limb of
the Earth - coming into the picture. So Y believe
item 17 should look satisfactory for 52. I was by
then doing MIRROR LINE SCANs on GRATING zero, and
it's possible there's some JOP 7 information on
there, but it's goi_ to be pretty skimpy, if it
is usable.

262 ii 12 58 SPT End of debriefing for the ATM Pls and planners
from the SPT.

262 ii 17 45 SPT Jack's PRD is 433; 433 for Jack's PRD.

262 Ii 20 05 SPT 580 for the comnander's PRD_ 580 for Al's PRD.

262 Ii 20 i0 SPT That completes the PRD readings for the day.

262 ii 37 18 CDR Okay, this is for M092 interested individuals

from CDR. Here's what we did this morning so
_, that we don't get confused with the data. First
we ran an MD92, and I didn't turn on the blood
pressure. Also, it was an erratic start; we
finished that. Okay, after that was over, we
 268o

noticed the blood pressure wasn't on, wasn't on

Jack Lousma. We then did test number 2. Okay,
then we went back and did _392 again. This time
it came off perfectly; I hope.

262 ii 37 53 CDR Next we went and did a test n,,mberi. When we

finished that, we did the arm test. And for
the arm test, we had to use band CT, band Charlie
Tango. When the arm test was finished, we did
M093; and at this point we were 16 minutes time
remaining on M093. So everything's going well
now. Sorry for the delay.

262 Ii 38 18 CDR CDR out.

262 ll 38 3_ CDR Okay, there's one thing interesting shout that

arm test I didn't quite understand. Both times
after the test was over, even though I did a
NULL and CAL beforehand, the NULL afterwards was
1 instead of 0, and the CAL was off-scale high.
And that was both times. Now Jack didn't move _-_
his arm; we didn't move the cuff or anything
else. So l'm not rea]Sy sure what that shows, but
it sure is strange. It may indicate that the
cuff itself is really not gripping his right
arm that tight. Another point to be made is his
left arm's too s-_Sl for the smallest cuff, which
is the 12-13. So we used his right arm for that
test. However, his right arm, as I said - I don't
know. M_ybe when it gets down it takes longer
to come back than it does a leg. Anyhow, you
have the data, and it'd be interesting to figure
it out.

so you'll note I didn't have time to get the right

caught that on the telemetry, but Just a note to
draw your attention to it at this time.

262 12 39 36 CDR This is CDR debriefing the run - ATM run at

11:50. It went without incident. The only
comment I have - Several times during the stepping
of the MIRROR LINE SCAN I noticed that I did not
hit the OPERATE switch; so we did not get a scan on
some of the steps.

262 13 17 I0 SPT Okay, SPT on channel A with the debriefing questions

_ on the 131-2 run. These go to Dr. Jerry Homick
and the 131 PI including - is Dr. Earl Miller.
Describe the degree of dif - difficulty relative
to ground-based trials, spatial orientation Judg-
ment. I attained no extra difficulty. I always
had a sense of where the orientation was. Whether
or not it's right or not is something I don't know.
Any conflicts between sensory cues? No, I don't
think so. You always had a - an opinion as to
where each of these directions was.

262 13 17 52 SPT No experience - no sense of the upright. No,

although there's always a tendency when working
in the experiment compartment to think of up being
more or less the one-g up. Still in terms of,
say, what's up with respect to Earth center or
something like that - Those thoughts Just never
occur to you. And I did not sense it today, nor
have I ever really had any sense of that. Were
your Judgments influenced by auditory? No, they
were not; everything was nice and quiet.

262 13 18 23 SPT Did the line target appear stable and under com-
plete control? Yes, it is stable; and, of course,
there's some little oscillation like when you're
doing your 0GI test, if you look very carefully.
But I didn't happen to notice any today at all
and it did Just the way I wanted it. And no addi-
2682

tional co_,ents that I have. So that's the end

of the debriefing questions for the SPT.

262 13 18 51 SPT These go to Dr. Jerry Homick and Dr. Earl Miller
and MI31 associated people. Out.

262 13 30 h8 CDR This is the CDR, and this is information for EREP.
We're at time T-2, which is 20 minutes after turning
on 192. l've gone to CHECK. And now I think you
want me to voice record B-6. I'ii do that. B-6
at the momemt is indicating a 57 percent,
57 percent.

262 13 31 ii CDR And we'll be back later. That's for EREP.

262 13 32 38 SPT SPT on channel A with a note for the ETC folks.
Wanted to mention the last time we ran yesterday,
I inserted the magazine and everything normally
right up to the power turn on time. We turned
on the POWER, ON switch, why, no power to the
camera. Checked everything, finally went to _-_
mR1function procedures which required me to take
the magazine out and put it back in again, and
that fixed it.

262 13 33 02 SPT So it did look as if - Let's see. I was running

on prime mag that time. There might be a little
bit of dust or something in there. That's the
only time l've had that problem for the whole
mission, but I thought you o1_bt to be aware of
it so that if it comes up again, that'll be the
first thing to suspect. And you ought to also
mention it to Ed Gibson in his training that that's
the first thing to suspect if you don't get power
on.

262 13 33 25 SPT End of note to the ETC folks from the SPT.

262 13 h2 B3 CDR Okay, we got a little information for EREP, and

it's known as RECORD switch to RECORD and it says
check all readings. I'm going to do that.

GO; A-B, 86 percent, GO; A-h, 71 percent, GO;
A-5, 66 percent, GO; A-6 to 0, GO. Actually
it's lower than zero. Okay? Now we're coming

71 percent, GO; B-5, 74 percent, GO; B-6, 50 per-
cent, GO; B-7, 31 percent, GO; B-8, about l, GO.
B-9, it's about 1 and it's not GO; but B-9, if I
 2683

read it to you, is the TDA bias on 193. We know

that isn't working, so we don't worry about it.
Okay, C-2, 45 percent, GO; C-S, 89 percent. That's
GO. C-4 is 71 percent, GO; C-5, 82 percent, GO;
C-5, 82 percent, GO; C-6, 46 percent, GO ; C-7,
51 percent, GO. And that ought to do it. D-2,

off, and so you probably ought to go with the pad
and at least keep the CROSS-TRACK ANGLE on 191
within 5 degrees.

262 1B 51 44 PLT Okay, thank you very much. The map that I got to
use for measuring that is the whole world map and
it doesn't get quite as accurately as our little
U.S. map does.

CC Okay.

262 13 51 56 PLT I figure on this VTS if you pick up anything out-

side of 18 degrees, cross-track, about 18 degrees,
15 to 18; at 45 degrees you're not going to be
able to track it through nadir. Just for a rough
gouge and that's about 100 miles, I think; it
turns out. r---.

CC Yes, we'd like it within 5 for the data.

with the L another JOP 6, step 2 at a different
roll. After that it suggested observing time; but
I determined the ground had let me know that when
I changed my line pointing to lO anm centered it,
why, it was no longer centered on the Sun, which
makes sense. And I then centered up the Sun and
did that again. And it was getting to the end of

the orbit and I wam Sun centered and I thought per-

haps you might like a _ another STANDARD in 52, so I

262 16 38 _8 CDR This is the CDR with information for biomed because
it concerns 19 - correction, iBI-2. Here is the
questions with the answers. I'Ll give you the
answers. The questions I'ii read. Degree of dif-
ficulty to ground-based trials in m_ing spatial
orientation Judgment. It's a little bit more dif-
ficult for the simple reason you don't have gravity
cues. Nothing new; I didn't find anything new
today. The only thing I found new today was when-
ever l'd wobble myself around in the chair and
wiggle a little bit, l'd tend to think the chair
was moving and it wasn't. But it felt like to me
it was. Now I don't know whether my senses are
becoming more sensitive to that, but I - I Just
felt like the chair was moving and I knew it was
not. It tended to - to cause me to bias my angle
somewhat. But then l'd say to myself, '_o, I know
it isn't moving. Put them aug - put them back
 2691

where they were." So it - by wiggling between run -

between measurements, I could cause my measurements
to be different if l wanted to.

262 16 39 52 CDR Did you experience any conflicts between sensory

cues with respect to external fr_eT I Just dis.
cussed it. Did youat mlytime experience a pos-
itive sense of the upright?

262 16 20 03 CDR I always do, but I - sometimes I know it isn't

right. When I wiggle sometimes I say, "Okay, the
vertical Just moved," but I know it dldn't. So
that's it. Were your Judgments influenced by
auditory cues? Not at all. Other environmental
factors? No, I think the only thing that influenced
it was the intellect, who knows, a Jarring move-
ment and sometimes pressure of the chair. But
mostly it's the intellect. Did the line target
appear stable and under your complete control? Yes,
it never moved in that chair.

262 16 40 32 CDR Additional comments and observations. None except

that - I don't - except for that sort of more sen-
sitive to feelings that the - that the chair is
moving when it isn't, and I do think al1 the rest is
precisely the same as it has been. That information

262 16 49 21 PLT Okay. This is the PLT looking over Salt Lake City.
Bear Lake is a aquabl_e color. The reservoir east
of Provo is a dark blue color. UtAh L=k_ is light
greenish color. Looks like there's a lot of Junk
in it. You can see a lot of sed4mentation streams
in it. Salt Lake itself is covered over, but you
can see the north part, which is the brownish red,
and the south part that is the deeper aquablue and
is pretty much the same color as Bear Lake. And
that's about all that we can see of Salt Lake City
and its area at this time. And we're past it now,
so there's no point in trying to describe it fur-
ther. There's clouds over it. They're mostly cir-
rus-type clouds with a little hit of stratus mixed
in. l'd say the coverage is roughly 50 percent.
And it's primarily over Salt Lake City itself. Par-
_ tia_!y over Salt Lake, end it's pretty much out of
view now, so that's about ,11 we can say at this
time.
 2692 ""....

262 16 50 36 PLT And so we'll sign off for now and maybe you get a
few comment s later.

262 16 51 25 PLT Okay, those co_=uts were for the handheld photo
and EREP people on Salt Lake City. We attempted
to answer the first several questions on observa-
tional plan, surface water study. And I described
the Great Salt Lake with its distinct division where
the roadway or railway, whatever it is, goes - goes
across ; the brownish red to the north and the deeper
blue to the south. I described Utah Lake. Just
seeing a fairly light green color with light brown
streaks of sediment stresm_s in them. I described
Bear Lake as being sort of a - more of a deeper
blue, I believe, than the - Yes, it's an aqua-colored
lake - kind of aqua colored, like the south Dart of
Great Salt Lake. And there was some sedimentation
and it was fairly noticeable ... I thought we were
over somewhere else. Okay, and the qmall lakes
east of Wendover Air Force Base I didn't locate
because I couldn't see Wendover. And the reservoir _-_
north of Ogden was also in the clouds. But the
reservoir east of Provo was clear and it was ...

262 16 53 17 PLT mew various colorations. We are able to detect

the surface water study on this pass over Great
Salt Lake. And that's Just about all you can have
time to pick up. You first have to identify the
major area that requested. I had the map, and I
was able to do that. And then I was able to deter-
mine what color they were with no problem frc_ up
here at all. All colors stand out quite well pro-
viding you don't have a cloud shadowing the objective.
So that's - that's so --_.h for that. Following
the next pass, we get to go on and do other -
other portions of this observational plan. But
that's it for now. And also, I was asked to -
We've taken many photos of Salt Lake City and so
we didn't take any today.

262 16 53 59 PLT I don't need any more of them. Also, asked to

look over the Arizona and Nevada and Utah areas.
And there's Just too much to look at all in one
day's sweep to cover Salt Lake City and those other
areas too. All I can say is I noticed the major
linear features, north/south parallel features
pr_m_ily, where - were mountainous regions. And ''-'_
we photographed this area other times as well, so
l'm sure that the drainage features are well out-
 ' 2693

lined in photographs. And you can see them from

up here; the sm-11er tributaries coming out of the
hills r1_nning toward lower ground then gradually
z-_nning into bigger and Bigger rivers, and that
type of observation is easily made from here as
well.

262 16 54 57 PLT And that's one good way to determine what the -
the elevation levels are and which way the slopes
are running to know What the drainage system is.
That's about the only w_ from here really because
elevation relief doesn't stand out too well, par-
ticularly at the high Sun angles we've got. At the
moment, with lower sun angles, relief is much easier
to see, Just as it was on the Moon. I didn't see
any circular features "_ diQn'_ nOtice any, although
I know there are meteor craters down there, and I'm
sure that if you want to take some more passes Just
to look for them I'll be able to locate it. So
that's the s,,,mAry of my observations on - on this
pass. And this information goes to the EREP officer
and the handheld photo interested people.

262 16 55 44 PLT End of message. Thank you, out.

TIME SKIP

262 17 26 ii SPT SPT on cb-nnel A debriefing the last run. Well,

that was a busy one, for the following reasons.
First of all, we got a pretty good JOP 7 for
S055 in both the beginning and end of the orbit.
GRATING zero but - the CMG DUMP INHIBITED. All
the lines were properly extinguished at sunset
by the time we got to time we got to time re-
maining, zero. So both sunrise and sunset
should be good data.

262 17 26 40 SPT I got in the item 17 at the beginning of the

orbit for S052 and then began to work on the
coronal hole. Now I took a coronal - or a
XUV MON picture at the beginning of the orbit to
provide a little record of Just what it was I
thought I was seeing on the XUV MON, because
the coronal hole over about 110 degrees/0.4
• is very indistinct. It can hardly be discerned
on the XUV MON, Just a suggestion of a somewhat
darker area. If I were Just looking for a coronal
 hole, I would probably have never picked that one.
So to assist in finding the proper locations, I
went - took the GRATING on up to 1941 and used
-_gnesiumX to help find the boundary.

262 17 27 32 SPT And there does appear to be a fairly distinct

boundary, both near active - the active region -
Let me see what the _ber is.

262 17 27 40 CDR This is the CDR recording some inform-tion on 183.

At exactly 25 seconds ago on my mark -

262 17 27 49 CDR MARK. We threw the SEQUENCE switch to - from

STANDBY to START, beginning the first exposure.
This is going to be a 620-second exposure. And
it's going to be field n,_ber M57, ROTATION 333.1
because of the correction; TYLT 13.2. I got 333.1
with the correction because the Nu Z pad was plus
_, the Nu Z actual was plus 1.9; subtract the two
you get plus 2.1, and add that and you get it. So _
I've got - I got a mistake, that's what I got.
I'll change it before the shutter opens.

262 17 28 _i CDR I didn't make it. Going to take another frame.

Go- I'm going to go to STANDBY, for Just this
stop. I'll take another frame. Won't cost us
much. 333.1. Okay, we'll try it again Just as
soon as this thing recycles and resets. We'll
go again. Yes.

262 17 29 13 SPT How much time before I can continue with the
debriefing here, AI?

CDR Right now, go ahead.

262 17 29 18 SPT Okay, and that's near active region 30 over

towards the southwest side and - I did find the
boundary both near active region 30 and further
to the south; although it's not quite as sharp
as some of the other boundaries. And, by slew-
ing back and forth, it does appear that the
eastern boundary as a whole is sharpe r than the
western boundary. So I did use the western
boundary for the pointing. You get the pointing
coordinates, ofcourse, from the telemetry. _-_

262 17 29 43 SPT And I did one pointing on the boundary, as near

as I could tell, thenmoved to another spot and
 e695

did a second pointing on the boundary. And then

I wanted to point outside. Now the other thing,
since I cannot see very clearly at all what the
boundary looks like on the XUV MON. l'm a little
uncertain as to the appropriate roll angle. After
checking up and down several t_mes, it did look
like I probably had the roll a little bit non-
optimum.

262 17 30 14 SPT And so I went beyond the plus and minus 5 arc
seconds for the last two steps that are called
out on the ATM schedule. So I act1_-11ywent
more like 20 arc seconds inside and 20 arc seconds
outside, maybe even more, to - to make sure the
82B SLIT was either - essential_y all of it, in
and out of the coronal hole vicinity. And so
l'd of never have been able to do this without
magnesium X assistance. The XUV MON was not
adequate in this particular case, but using
magnesium X, I think I managed to get Just about
the data we're looking for.

262 17 30 52 SPT And s/so, should note that your'GRATING AUTO

SCAN are done from 1941 up through zero and
back to 1941, so that I could use that GRATING
POSITION for hunting for the boundaries. And
I also had to abbreviate the two GRATING AUTO
SCANs into one in order to get them down after
,11 this searching - condense all the work into
one orbit. And that completes the ATM debriefing
from the SPT.

262 17 31 20 CDR Okay, we Just opened the shutter on the first

exposure for S183. Let me tell you what it is.
It's 333.1 and 13.2. I had 333.1 and set 1B3.1.
So I stopped that exposure, advanced the film
properly for a few seconds until we - not a few
seconds, Just for a fraction of a second at 2h
frames per second - went back to time, and now
I'm exposing on the star correctly.

262 17 32 50 CDR 183 information - -

262 17 B4 27 CDR The 183 information that I Just recorded is for

Wally Teague and other interested parties. I'ii
be back in roughly 5 minutes to - correction,
_ 8minutes to start the second exposure.

262 17 34 40 CDR CDR out.

2696

262 17 4B 24 CDR Okay, this is the CDR with some more information.
I Just began the sequence on second exposure 18B.
It's a O, O, 940. That's what I have in. I
have 131 0 in the window and TILT 30.8. So every-
thing's sitting pretty. I turned on the SEQUENCE,
START a few maments ago. And I'ii Just stand by
while it now - now shifting. And when it's off,
I'll give you a call. Now I realize that sunset
is around 17:55, so l'm going to be alert that
this is shut down by then.

262 17 44 07 CDR CDR out. I'll give you a call when the next
exposure is finished. I'll give you a mark as
it opens, by the way.

262 17 44 21 CDR MARK. Just opened.

262 17 54 52 CDR CDR, getting ready to terminate the S18B exposure

early because sunrise is coming in about 4 seconds.
Stand by for a stop. Going to STANDBY. That
closed the shutter; and it's recycling, gentle-
men. That completes 18B ops. We got two ex-
posures. Started a little bit late because I'd
set in the wrong rotation, but I do hope we got
some good data for you. I think we did.

262 17 55 17 CDR CDR out. That information goes to Wally Teague

and other interested 18B observers.

262 17 56 ii PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

The subject is girth measurements. This goes
to the medical world. I'll read them three
numbers in each part of the anatomy. The first
will be A1, then 0wen, and then Jack. It'll
all be in centimeters. Neck, at the Adam's
apple, B7.B, S4.9, 40.9; hips, around the butt
at the hip Joint, 90.0, 8B.0, 87.8; chest, at
the nipples, inhale, 90.0, 86.8, 104.8. That
was i - 104.8. Exhale was 92.4, 83.4, 97.6.

262 17 57 14 PLT The biceps are measured in each armwith each

m_u from the elbow - at a point measured from
the elbow up. Here's the left. For A1, measured
at a point 14.5 centimeters up from the elbow,
was 29.0. For Owen, measured at a point 13.6 up
from the elbow, it was 28.0. For Jack it was
measured 14.6 up from the elbow; it was 33.0.
 2697

Right biceps on AI measured at the same distance,

30.0; 0wen, same distance, 29.3; Jack, same dis-
tance, 33.5.

262 17 58 01 PLT Okay, left leg, one-third up from the knee, 41.0,
37.3, 46.1; two-thirds up from the leg - from
the knee was 48.6, 46.8, 55,0. Now, these meas-
urements up from the knee were taken at the fol-
lowing points. From the knee Joints, held on
the side of the knee, Al's was measured on his
left leg 13.46, 13 - correction 13.6 up; 0wen
was 13 up; and Jack was 14.3 up. The two-thirds
distance for the left leg was for Ai, 27.2; and
Owen was 26 up; and Jack was 28.6 up.

262 17 59 I0 PLT The right leg, one-third up from the knee for
AI at 13.3 was 43.2. Owen's was measured 13.2
up, it was 37.8. Jack's was measured 14.6 up,
it was 47.4. Oksy - two-thirds up from the right
knee, Al was measured at 26.6, and it was 47.9.
Jack's was measured at 26.4 up, and it was 47.6.
That was a mistake. The last one was for Owen.
His was measured at 2 - 26.4 up, and it was 47.6.
And Jack's was measured at 290 - 29.2 up, and
it was 55.6. Okay, the waist at the navel was
76.3, 72.1, 83.9.

262 18 O0 12 PLT And we hope on these leg and bicep measurements

that you'll compare them with the same distance
up from the knee and from the elbow, respectively,
as they were measured on the ground. And that
you will take these points and - and log them
somewhere so we can measure at the same points
and compare after we get back. If you got any
questions about the measurements or where they
were taken, please give us a call. This is for
the biomed people; subject was girth measurement.

262 18 00 36 PLT End of meassage, thank you.

TIME SKIP

262 18 58 03 SPT - - exposures when we first took a look at that

bright spot in the northwest quandrant UP 257;
RIGHT, 370, which you got on telemetry and did a
little - about a 1-1/2 GRATING AUTO SCAN and the
part - Stand by.
2698

262 18 58 23 SPT Okay, picking it up again. And a partial MIRROR

AUTO RASTER as well as a 2 plus 40 exposure for
82B. Probably a bit too long; probably should
have dropped to 40 seconds but I - I'Ii catch it
on the next one. And then after that, I took
another look at another bright spot over at UP,
113; and RIGHT, 622. Had a particularly good
contrast ratio in oxygen VI; it was also either one
or two - One of the first or second of these bright
spots appeared to be a double, l'm not quite sure
which, but I expect you can tell from your data.
Perhaps both of them did; certainly some - several
of these bright spots are appearing in pairs, and
usually there'll be one or the other that's the
brighter. And as I indicated here, I have the
brighter of the two.

262 18 59 19 SPT And did a 40-second exposure for 82B in the GRATING
AUTO SCAN and a partial RASTER for 55. Following
that, I went over to the east limb and took data
in the general manner of J0P 1E. No go on item 10.
Coordinates that I was using turned out to be UP, -"-"
990 and RIGHT, 55. And so you can see that I was
not perpendicular to the limb precisely. The
target looks like a sort of cluster of spicules.
After I had been taking data for about l0 minutes,
the ground reported that there had been a surge on
the east limb at that location. So I suspect it
was a remmant of the surge. And it made a very
nice spiculelike signature in H-alpha, and so I
rolled the 82B SLIT along that and pointed about
7 arc seconds off the limb; the end of the slit
was about 7 arc seconds off the limb.

262 19 00 _2 SPT I went about 3 steps off the S055 and did a MIRROR
LINE SCAN for them and a 5-minute exposure for the
82B. I'm hopeful that'll turn out to be of some
interest, perhaps considerable interest. And also
took short segments of MIRROR LINE SCAN in other
step positions around the one I maintain -most of
the work in. And then in the closing moments of
the orbit, I also went back to Sun center and did
quick FAST SCAN for 8052 and also had the S055
DETECTORS IN MIRROR LINE SCAN, all ENABLED,
GRATING zero, for JOP 7 information. We did get
J0P 7, incidentally, at both the beginning and the
end of thelastorbit.

SPT You can see it - you can see it easily.

CDR Take a picture.

SPT You bet.

262 20 Ii 25 CDR Eyes like an eagle,

PLT Not bad for a mature set of eyes, right, AI?

CDR (Laughing) I would say that's true.

SPT I wish they'd turn them back on.

CDR Well, we were wrong though. They Just won't last

as long. Good for short periods, hut they wear
out. May have burned out a rod or cone there.

262 20 ii 51 PLT MARK.

SPT I think your pointing's off a little bit. If you'd

ask them, you'd get it back. _-_

262 20 ii 55 CDR What you say, 0.?

SPT I think perhaps your pointing's off a little bit

now. We had it loud and clear Just a minute ago.

CDR Minus i0 degrees right there. Let's move up ahead.

262 20 12 05 PLT Okay.

CDR And there's some place. There's Block Island; has

anybody ever heard of that?

PLT Let them have it, A1.

CDR Let's zap them at Block Island. That's one of

their favorite haunts.

PLT Attaboy.

262 20 12 21 CDR Okay, we're giving you your alternate site.

CDR It's plus 7. So we won't have any sweat; we'll

get some good data.

PLT Gee whiz, we're coming to the end of this already.

CDR I don't maneuver until 29, I believe.

CDR Data a bunch on the Block.

PLT 21. That was it. Maneuver at 21, A1.

CDR 21, it is. Okay.

262 20 IB 12. PLT Plenty of time.

CDR Bye-bye, Block.

Superior.

CDR 20:21, maneuver time, Jack.

PLT Yes, sir.

CDR In case you're thin_ ug about it. I know you

are.

PLT Plenty of time.

262 20 14 07 PLT You can look at all that water down there, if
you want.

CDR Okay, that's a good idea.

PLT Well, what's Charlie 8 doing? Well it's come

off the peg. Last roll of tape, I think. In
fact, I know it is.

262 20 14 B1 PLT MARK. AUTO CAL on 191. READY light went out.

262 20 lh 37 CC Skylab, Houston. You might be interested to know

that I Just passed the end of your data take, and
the closest approach of 20 plus 18 plus 30, tropi-
cal storm Ellen, is going to be Just to the south
of your groundtrack. It's still a tropical storm
but the winds are up to about 70 miles per hour
and you might want to lock out the window and
take a look. We do not require any photography
of it.

262 20 15 02 PLT B more minutes, huh? Okay. Thank you, Dick.

CDR Still daylight.

PLT Didn't know there was another one out there.

262 20 15 09 SPT And, Dick, the - apparently the laser couldn't

track us right to the closest approach, but about
the time we got to New York, why, they were back
on again and tracked it again for a couple of
minutes, and I do have some handheld photographs.

CC Roger, Owen. Thank you.

262 20 15 53 SPT Oh, yes, the storm is very clear ahead of us now,
with the typical counterclockwise pattern and a

262 20 16 O0 PLT MARK.

SPT - - cirrus top over the whole thing this time.

It's not quite like snm_ of the others we've seen
with a thicker cirrus deck.

CC Roger, 0wen; thA_ you.

262 20 16 22 PLT And the VTR is ready to go, you said, right?

262 20 16 28 CC That's affirm, Jack. Sure is.

PLT Okay, thank you, Dick.

PLT Standby for a HEADY light to come on. Then we're

going to STOP.

262 20 17 I0 PLT MARK. It's on. And we're STOP -

262 20 17 13 PLT MARK. Okay, that's it. How many more minutes
we got there, Dick?
 2709

CC We've still got you for - in AOS for about 3 more

minutes.

262 20 17 23 PLT Okay, I'ii Just read you down the tape recorder
measurement here in a minute, if I get that far.

CC Okay.

PLT Okay, you folks want me to voice record Bravo 7,

and I will. Bravo 7 says 31 percent. Door closed.
Bolt and latch the window.

CC Skylab, we see the maneuver time and it looks

good to us.

262 20 17 58 PLT Okay, thank you, Dick. That takes care of 190.
And we'll go off RECORD.

262 20 18 11 PLT This is the end of EREP pass number 39. Thank
you for listening.

TIME SKIP

262 22 05 41 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject tonight is M131, spatial localization. I
got a bunch of readings here that you've been
waiting for. And I'm going to debrief my run
first. Question number l: Describe the degree of
difficulty relative to ground-based trials in
m-_ing spatial orientation Judgment. I don't
think the answer to my - these questions have
changed at all for me over the time we've been up
here. The one thing that changes the - the degree
of difficulty somewhat is the tightness of the
restraint strap. The better the seat-of-the-pants
feeling you can give yourself with the - the
restraint strap, why, the easier it becomes to make
proper Judgments. And, I think if you were to
let that loose altogether, you wouldn't know wnlch
way was up. So there's about the same degree of
difficulty, maybe a little more difficulty up
here in making that Judgment. But it's dependent
upon the tightness of the seatbelt.

262 22 07 ii PLT Question 2: Were there any conflicts between the

sensory cues? The answer is no. I was - I had
 271o

no conflicts between sensory cues, although I think

my sensory cues were not quite as good as they were
on the ground. Again, the seat-of-the-pants feeling
is the - the answer here, but I don't think there
were any conflicts. Did you at any time experience
a positive sense of the upright? Well, I think I
knew what was upright because of the fact that I
was fastened in the chair with a seatbelt. If I
had not been fastened chair - to the chair with a
seatbelt or had been floating, I would not know
what the upright was. And the upright is defined
as that which you visually see as the upright in
one g here. Were Judgments influenced by other
cues? The answer is not; not to my knowledge. Did
the line target appear stable and under your
complete control during the setting? Yes. That's
about it.

262 22 08 28 PLT Okay, now what I'm going to do is I'm going to give
you the _mhers for the com,_nder, the SPT, and

263 09 07 41 PLT Hello, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject is general message 5527 Alfa, S063 photos.
I took six photos, three of them out the S - STS
number 4, and three of them out the STS n,,mher 3
window. The first photo out the S-4 was taken at
08:32. It was taken in the direction you specified,
and the viewfinder was toward panel 216. The
second picture was taken at 08:35; the vlew-finder
orientation was the same; it was toward panel 216,
the direction as you specified. Photo n,,mher 3 was
taking - taken at 08:37. The viewfinder was toward
the minus X-axis, the direction that you indicated.

263 09 08 31 PLT S-3 window; the fourth picture was taken at 08:40;
the viewfinder was toward the tool sieve B, in the
direction that you indicated. Picture re,tuber5 was
taken at 08:41; the viewfinder was also toward
tool sieve B, the direction that you specified.
Photo nnmber 6 was taken at 08:43; the viewfinder
was toward the minus X-axis, the direction that you

/
_-_ specified.

263 09 08 59 PLT The only problem I encountered in taking these

photos was this: You requested the 30-degree incli-
nation of the window. That was done by guesswork
only, and done as best as I can - could estimate
it, and I doubt that it's precisely 30 degrees.
If you need it precisely 30 degrees, you better
tell me how to do it. And that completes the
message. I _m_gine this information goes to Jack
Lew and Wally Teague among others. Thank you very
much.

263 i0 31 08 SPT SPT recording on channel A debriefing the last.

pair of ATM passes we Just finished here about
i0: 30 Zulu. The JOP 13 went off, I think, r_m-vk-
ably well. I did mention to you, Jim Milligan,
that we had a 12 plus 45-second exposure. Check-
ing again, the Sco-X didn't set at 19 minutes
after the hour, so you really only have a 12 min-
_ ute. The last 45 seconds of that exposure were
when Sco-X were already set. The - 54 exposures
were all complete by the time the Sco set, and I
 2714

believe the 52background sky photographs were

also complete before Sco-X was set.

263 10 B1 52 SPT It might be interesting on the 52 exposure, to see

if you don't see the night airglow. My guess is
that you might. It's fairly bright in visible
light and the airglow might show up on the - the
last set of exposures that we're taking with S052.

263 i0 32 ii SPT Still don't know whether or not 55 got anything;

I read that - rechecked the calculation. There's
a possibility that I could have rounded off one
number a little bit to the other side; so the point-
ing could have been off a couple of arc minutes.
But the spacecraft attitude pointing seemed to be
remarkably stable. The SAS gimbal ang - INNER
GIMBAL angle 2 was - iG02. and remeasured gimbal
angle, during the data taking intervals, was rl_,t
around i000, occasionally i001, and so it's - it's
pretty close to the Z-bias pointing. And as far
as the next ATM pass is concerned - didn't have
much observing time; went over to the east limb f_
and take - Stand by.
• o"

263 l0 33 14 SPT Then go over to the east limb and on one of the
new active regions, took 82B, 2 plus 40-second
exposure, and a MIRROR, AUTO RASTER for 55, and
then backto the J0P l, or building block l, JOP 6.
And that about completes the rundown on the last

263 12 O1 54 PLT Hello, space fans. This is Jack on channel A.

The subject is debriefing the last ATM rum, which
began at 11:08. I did the shopping list item 17,
the FAST SCAN at - for 43 seconds. ROLL,
minus 4200. I did a AUTO RASTER on active
region 27. Did J0P 2 Fox, building block i0, with
AUTO RASTER only. And then I went on and did the
building block 27, stepping from 5485 up to plus 18.
I got started a little bit late on that_ so I had
to cut some of the - the MIRROR LINE SCANS down to
45 seconds minimum. And most of them were about
50 seconds, with the first ones about a minute.

263 12 02 42 PLT So 45 seconds was the shortest. Because of the

late start on that, I was unable to do JOP - or
do the step 3, building block i0, on active
region 27 - MIRROR AUTO RASTER at 00:28.

263 12 03 O0 PLT I did c_nplete, however, the step 2 prior to effec-

tive sunset.

TIME SKIP

263 12 36 20 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A, and

I want to bring you a few words about the diffusion
experiment. We're about to begin it. I have a
old syringe filled with 3 cc's of tea with lemon
and sugar. And I also have a - a little tube filled
with water with a fiber cotton stopper in the top.

263 12 37 03 PLT Stand by i.

TIME SKIP

263 13 23 02 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack again on channel A.

The subject is the diffusion experiment, and it
turns out that a half hour ago, when we put this
ice - the tea in the top of our little test tube
here, it did not diffuse into the cotton swab at
the top and then on down into the medium, which
is water, but rather it Just stayed where it was.
So what l'm going to do now (taking pictures, also)
_ is to get this back into the syringe somehow and
then inject it down alongside the swab.
2716

263 13 24 00 PLT Now we got most of it back. Now we'll try it

again. This time, I'll run the needle down along-
side the swab if I can. And smoothly, while
taking photographs here, inject it into the swab
itself, right into the stopper.

263 13 24 42 PLT There. We're getting a little. 0ops! There.

Now we're also getting lots of little air bubbles
down in the water - gas bubbles of some sort.

263 13 25 09 PLT Now the swab itself is fairly well saturated with
this tea.

263 13 26 0B PLT Well, I may have goofed it up; I may have to start
over again here. But we'll watch this for a while.
Some of the tea which I injected leaked down
alongside of the swab and got down into the -
got down into the medium itself, Maybe a smarter
idea would be to take the swab and saturate it
with tea and then stick it in there before the
experiment - before - when you start the experi-
experiment, f-_

263 1B 26 45 PLT But we'll come back and take a look at this after
a while, and if necessary, that's what we'll do.

263 1B 27 01 PLT So that's the end of the message for now.

263 1B 31 57 "SPT Okay, the SPT on channel A, debriefing the ATM

pass which is Just now being completed. It's
going to end here at about 1B:35. To begin with,
I picked up the - a MIRROR AUTO RASTER in J0P 2F
that there was not time to complete on the last
orbit. So I did that MIRROR AUTO RASTER at the
same pointing position; so I hope that'll give
you the information to complete the work on
J0P 2F. Then picked up J0P 6 and did that as
scheduled. Third J0P did cost me a bit of time
that I would otherwise have wanted to spend on
J0P 1E. I - I went to the north pole region
(Thought I had a faint bright spot. ) and rolled
and pointed to where - a position above that
location. However, about the end of the orbit
here, I could see that there's really no bright
spot there visible.

263 13 32 46 SPT So essentially all I have done is to go to the _-_

northern cap region and found the convenient
location and set my pointing for J0P 1E perpen-
 2717

dicular to the limb. And we are 20 arc seconds

off the limb with the end of the 82B slit, and
55 has been doing MIRROR LINE SCANs. I gave
them their MAR at the end instead of the begin-
ning of the work. And 82B is getting a 20-minute
instead of a 26-minute exposure here at the end.
That was necessitated because of the tlm_ I spent
trying to find the appropriate location and
slipping in that extra MIRROR AUTO RASTER on
J0P 2F at the beginning. So that's the way the
orbit has gone, and I don't think there's any
other comment to be m-de.

opposed to 1.8 like the pad suggests it might.

263 14 23 51 CDR S to STANDBY; R to STANDBY. Let me res_ you

some information.

263 14 24 05 PLT Want me to go to my readers - meter readings

there, Story?

CC What's your distance, Jack?

PLT Oh, I got it located about - Well, it should be

about 3 feet.

CC Okay.

PLT What it is is 3 feet. I got f/16 at 1/25 as what

I'm going to spot.

263 14 24 18 CDR Okay, Story, let me read you A-9, which is zero.
Actually it's off-scale low. B-zero is 10.
C-zero is 2. D-9 is 8.

263 14 24 35 SPT Story, question for the ATM backroom. I'm doing
a shopping list 19 over on the east limb instead
of the west. There's a very large area of bright-
 2719

ness Just coming around, and I'd like to know if

82B wants to participate in this. Over.

CC Okay, Owen.

263 14 24 53 CDR Story, why don't I read you the results of that
friendly little alignment while ago; I mean the
BMAG check.

263 14 25 02 CC Okay, we can - We're pretty busy here on other

things; let's take that up over Bermuda.

CDR Okay. Can't handle it, huh? Okay. Well, we've

overloaded them down there, Jack. Knew it would
happen.

263 14 25 17 PLT Okay, the antenna's pointing forward now. Looks

like it's down to plus Z all right, but it's
pointing forward, and I got some pictures of it.

CC Owen, we concur with your suggestion.

PLT BaJa. How about that?

CDR Good old BaJa.

PLT Just Over the U.S.

263 14 25 34 CDR We've probably got 80 pictures of that.

PLT Well, we didn't get any more here; that's for

sure.

CDR (Laughter) Okay.

263 14 25 46 CC Jack, use the spotmeter readings you're getting

on board.

PLT Okay, 1/25 at f/16 is what I'm shooting.

CDR It's Just standing there, isn't it, Jack?

263 14 26 04 PLT It's not doing anything right now.

CDR Right. It's in the park position - 45 forward

or something like that.

_ PLT Yes. Looks like it's forward and pretty much

straight down. Now it's going to be
2720

NON-CONTIGUOUS; so it's going to fly back and go

step, step, step, step; fly back to the other side
and step, step, step - -

263 14 26 21 CDR EREP to START, Jack. S19 - S is ON, and R is

ON. We're standing by now.

PLT Give me a hack before you go to ALTIM_±'ER, ON,

will you?

CDR I most certainly will. S is ON; R is ON.

PLT There is goes. Moving to the right - -

CDR RAD/SCAT GIMBALlight is ill_m_nated; it's

blinking.

263 14 26 42 PLT Moving to the right, and it looks like it might

be moving; but I can't tell. Jiggling a little
bit. There it goes. It swung out to the left
and back to the center.

CDR Got both READY lights on.

26B 14 26 50 PLT To the left, center, right - left. It hasn't

ever got to mlnus Z - or plus Z rather. Looks
like it's Just doing - dithering around at
random. It goes clear to the right stop. Now
to the right stop. What - What you got it in
now, Al?

CDR Same old thing.

263 14 27 12 PLT Okay, it went to the right stop, and it's hanging
up there. And every once in a while, it twitches
a little. Twitches off and starts toward the
center; goes back. Now it goes to the left - -

CDR Okay, let me tal_ a second - -

PLT - - But it wasn't un_ - it wasn't stepping. It was

Just a swing over there. It's swinging off the
right stop to the center and back to the right
now.

CDR A-9 - -

PLT It - -
 2721

263 14 27 32 CDR - - A-9 is 5.. B-0 is i0. C-0 is off-scale low.

D-9 is 6. Go ahead, Jack.

PLT Okay, it's hung up on the right stop now, and

it's just twitching a little bit. Every once
in a while it swings towards the center a little
bit and comes back to the right stop. That time
it swang back probably all the way to the center
and maybe all the way to the left. Now it looks
like it's looking straight down, and it's swinging
back to the right; but it's not giving us any
definite step movement there.

263 lh 28 05 CC We got the carrier on the EDDU down-link but we

don't have any modulation.

PLT We got both switches right.

CDR Everything's okay. It was right a few minutes

ago.

PLT Let me know when you go to another mode, AI.

CDR All right, l'm going to STANDBY in a minute.

263 14 28 23 PLT It's not doing anything uniform, Story. It's

moving off the stop and Just swinging over to
the left. Then it'll hesitate for a mluute; then
come back to the right stop. But it's not
swinging right, stepping back to center like it's
suppose to. And it never has pointed straight
down; it's still pointing forward - -

263 i_ 28 43 CDR Coming IN-TRACK, NON-CONTIGUOUS, and it'll come

up in about a minute.

CC Okay.

PLT Okay.

CDR We're standing by to go IN-TRACK, NON-CONTIGUOUS.

263 lh 28h9 PLT Okay, let me look that up. That's at 12:197

CDR 29:30, which is about 33 seconds from now.

PLT Supposed to swing way forward and then step hack

to zero; swing forward and step back to zero.
Right now it's looking forward toward the comm-nd
_T22

module, and it might he straight down. It might

be at the right stop. I can't tell which.

263 14 29 18 CC 0wen, Houston.

•SPT Go ahead.

263 14 29 22 CC It's between 14:32 and 14:36. If you get a chance,

look out STS 2 and see if you can see the Goda_d
laser.

CDR S, ON; R, ON.

CC Yesterday we ran it at 20 watts. We'll be running

it at 2-1/2 watts today, and we're trying to
calibrate that. Okay - -

SPT Okay, that's 32 to 36.

263 14 29 42 PLT Okay, now the antenna apparently wasn't alI the
way forward, looking forward, but now it went
down to the forward stop. And it - it occasion- _-_
ally comes back to the original position, and
then it goes right back to the forward stop and
bounces. Now to the forward stop, and it's
trying to bounce off it a little bit. It comes
up occasionally and then bounces against the
stop and Just kind of damps itself out.

CC Owen, have you got the camera up there?

263 14 30 16 SPT I don't think so. I'll check.

PLT Okay, it's doing the same thing. It doesn't

come back to the same - -

CC If you've got an opportunity, I've got the

camera settings.

PLT For what?

CDR Okay, let me give you A-9 then again. A-9 is

plus B; B-zero is plus 8; C-zero is plus 2;
D-9 is plus 8.

CDR Okay, go ahead, Jack.

263 14 30 43 PLT Okay, it's still on the forward stop. And every
once in a while, it looks like somebody Just
 ....... 2723

kicks it a little bit, and it comes off the stop

and goes right back to it and then bounces and
damps itself out on the stop. And then it - A
little while later, it'll come back off the stop
to a different location and go right back to the
stop and bounce on it awhile.

263 l_ B1 07 PLT It's pointing offthe forward stop back to plus Z

is erratic. It doesn't go to the same plame
when it comes off the stop every time. It cer-
tainly is not doing any kind of stepping at a11.
It looks like something's trying to get it off
the stop, but nothing - nothing will make it
step. Right now it's not doing anything.

263 _ B1 B0 CDR S, STANDBY; R, STANDBY. I'll give you the A-9

again. A-9 is 3 percent. B-zero is 9 percent.
C-zero is 2 percent. D-9 is 8 percent. The
switch position going OFF on the down-link box.

PLT Okay, now when A1 went to STANDBY, it came off

the forward stop - -

26B l_ S1 52 CDR S, OFF; R, OFF; EREP golng to STOP.

PLT It came off the forward stop - Oops! Now it's

doing something - -

26S 14 B1 58 CDR DISPLAY is OFF.

PLT It's moving to the left - -

26B 14 32 00 CDR BUS l, OFF and BUS 2, OFF, and that's the end of
this show.

PLT Okay, when A1 went to STANDBY (I think that's

what he said.), it came off the forward-looking
stop but did not go back all the way to zero, I
do not believe. Later on, - -

CDR Yet.

26B 14 32 17 PLT - - about the time we said he went to OFF, why

it swung to the left as I look at it; to the
right as you're looking to the -with your head
toward the command module. But it did not ever
spring back so that it looks llke it's straight
_ down. I appears to be looking forward yet, al-
though it m_y posslblybe in the right vertical
 2724

plane, although it's definitely not looking

straight down; it's looking more forward.

SPT What setting do you want, Story?

263 14 32 55 CC Okay, Owen, that's f/ll at 1/250.

263 14 33 03 CDR Not CONTIGUOUSing.

SPT Okay, that's for the Nikon 200 millimeter now,

Story, right?

CC That's a 55 millimeter.

SPT I got the 300-millimeter lens on; I'm going to

have to leave it there.

263 14 33 14 CC Let me get you some settings.

TIME SKIP

263 15 04 30 SPT Okay, the SPT on channel A, debriefing the ATM

pass scheduled to finish here in a couple of
minutes, about 15:08. We did do an item 17 at
the beginning of the orbit. Ne also did a JOP 7
preceding that at s,,n_ise, as well as we're fin-
ishing up with another J0P 7 GRATING zero at the
end of this orbit. So you'd have both s_,n_ise
and sunset extinction information.

263 15 04 56 SPT Now tucked in between, I believe, is a pretty good

item 19. Over on the east limb there is a lot of
very bright XUVMON activity, as observed on the
XUVMON. I believe that, as I said on the down-
link, the origin is probably on theback side of
the 1_mb. i'm inclined to think now it's actually
on the front side, and the active region, I believe,
is n,_mbered 34. The n1-,_er is a bit unclear with
two or three active regions right in there now.
But it's the northern-most of those that's now
visible on the disk, and it's nearly under the
H-alpha I crosshair. I believe that that's what
you're calling the active region 32.

263 15 05 36 SPT I believe that's responsible for most of the activity

seen in the lower corona. And we should have a
 2725

very nice sequence of spectra from 82B and 55 right

out through this bright region. So let me tell
you what's been done on each of the instruments.

263 15 05 55 SPT On S056, the exposures are slightly mistimed. On

the FILTER 3, I gave you 13 minutes. On FILTER 4
I gave you ii minutes, and on FILTER 5 finally got
it right with 12 minutes. So they are a precise
nnmber of minutes but they are plus or minus 1 as
I've indicated from what you had on the shopping
llst pad. 82B - done all of their exposures exactly
as they are on the pad with the exception of the
last 5-minute exposure at 20 arc seconds.

263 15 06 26 SPT I did not have time to get that one in above the
appointed kilometer region and so elected to
overlook - to omit it entirely. I finished the
10-minute exposure with just about exactly 5 minutes
remaining and thought that was too tight to give
you useful information on the long wave length
position. S055, got all of theirs as exactly as
f-_ planned. The pointing was about h or 5 arc seconds
inside the limb, and so I gave you your GRATING
AUTO SCANs with the col,,mn positions of 31, 29,
and 27. And completed that with a MIRROR AUTO
RASTER, and then took MIRROR LINE SCANs on line 9
until the sunset.

263 15 07 13 SPT So that's double useful for getting that - some

information that - about the torrential distribution
across that bright region as well as the extinction
information for JOP 7.

263 15 07 2_ SPT And that completes the activities for the last
orbit. This message, of course, goes to the ATM
Pls and planners from the SPT. Complete.

TIME SKIP

263 15 h5 13 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A again.

The subject is the diffusion experiment. And we
reinitiated it again in a different manner this
time. Our original problem was that we - I'm
taking some photos. I'll stop it now. Our original
problem was that when we put the water in, and
then the swab on top of it, and then put the tea
on top of that, the tea would not go through the
swab.
 2726 *

26B 15 45 47 PLT So it could not ever reach the water to diffuse

into it. What I've done is, I've taken the swab
and saturated it with tea, stuck it in on the
water, and as best I could inserted it in there
without making any , without starting any diffusion.
I made a - I got the air bubble out that forms
below the swab when you put it out - when you put
It in, and so there's a good interface between
the cotton swab and the tea soaked - or the - and
the water.

26B 15 46 28 PLT The swab is not completely soaked with the tea;
you can see some of the areas in it that are kind
of mottled tea and white. And there is a slight
amount of diffusion in it that I introduced when
enter - when putting the swab in, so we'll have
to start from that point.

263 15 46 49 PLT You can hardly see it though I can hardly see it
with my naked eye. Only in the most intense light
can you rarely see a slight coloration change.
But I've taken some photos and perhaps we'll have -"-"
better luck this time in getting the tea in - to
diffuse into the water. But I'll come back after
while and check it out and see if anything is
going on.

263 15 47 15 PLT At the moment you can't visibly see anything, but
then if you could it would be too fast to process
anyway. The only other suggestion I might have
is that we Just forget about the cotton next time
and introduce the - some tea right at the meniscus
that the water makes, and see what happens. But
we'll try it this way for a while and take a few
pictures. If it doesn't work by tonight, well,
we'll think of a different way.

263 15 47 _5 PLT So that concludes the - the de - the briefing at

the moment for the diffusion experiment. And
I'll come back and look at it after a while and
let you know how it's coming out.

263 15 47 56 PLT Thank you.

TIME SK7_
 2727

263 18 ii 20 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on c_Annel A,

debriefing the last ATM run. The one that's
currently about to go into sunset, that is,
and the one started at 17:18. Got the JOP 6
in both a roll of zero and a roll of minus _200.
Same time I was at minus _200, I got the FILT_ 3
for S056_ that's 8minutes long. I had a little time
left over after that, so what I did was go to -
find the hottest spot in the active region -
must be 35. There's two of them, looks like
they're close together there, or it's one big
one and looks like maybe that you have them
designated as two; 34 and 35. At any rate, I
believe this must be 35. And I found the hottest
spot there in GRATING position 1915 with DETEC-
TOR 3. It's up around _800 somewhere.

263 18 12 25 PLT And did a GRAYING, AUTO SCAN from 1915 at

around a zero - from 1915 turn around to
zero, in DETECTORS I and 2. And that left
me pointed at a pretty good position. I also
did a MIRROR AUTO, RASTER which is in progress
now, going through line 25. All right, we'll
cover active region 34 and 35, andwith a
little bit of luck, if it doesn't go into sun-
set too soon, why, we're going to get some
data on active region - no, that must be active
region 31.

263 18 13 12 PLT Although it looks a little bit too located around

towards 250 to be one that .._ 31. Anyway there's
a bright p!age area at about 250 and about 0.7.
And I assume that that's an active region that's
designated. At any rate, I'm auto rastering
that whole area. We Just went into effective
sunset at about line 35, so I don't know if we'll
get that in there or not. But I'll keep raster-
ing until sunset, and perhaps you can use the
data.

263 18 13 52 PLT I made my daily scans of the corona. And -

fact - matter of fact, it might have been my
semidaily one or bidaily one this time because
I missed yesterday, it turns out. But at
rate, apparently yesterday_ we had a signifi-
cant change in the - the location of some of
2728

the streamers on one. A couple missing - which

were there a couple days ago. There's a lot of
enhanced area on the east limb which was apparently
caused by the active regions that have Just come
around, and they have changed the - the organi-
zation over there to some degree. Doesn't look
too much different on the west limb. I still got
a nice streamer atwest-northwest. And a couple
of other brightened areas, but no predominate
streamers other than that one. And in fact, you
get to the east limb_ it appears that three of
our major streamers that we had a couple of days
have given way to Just some brightened area and
one very - very strong streamer at the
east-southeast s_de.

263 18 15 21 PLT However, I've been watching the coronagraph

for most of the orbit this time, and I didn't
see any transients; but will continue to look
for them. So, all in all, it's pretty - pretty
quiet Sun up here. Doesn't seem there's much
of anything unusual to report, and -

263 18 15 41 PLT I'll sign off for now and pick you up again in
about half an hour. Thank you.

1263 18 20 13 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

Subject again is the diffusion experiment. Now
this is the third shot we're going to make at
getting this going, and we've fallen back now
to the original technique. Decided to be a
little more patient. We have cur tube cleaned
out and new stopper installed, which_is a fresh
one. It's presently soaked with Water, and it
has a good interface between the fiber stopper
and the water. I've gotten all the bubbles out
of the - had to pass between the - at the inter-
face between the fiber stopper into the water.
It takes a little bit of doing, but not bad.
Have to just make sure that when you force that
little fiber stopper down in there that you
allow room for some air to escape around it mud
upward.
" _ 2729

263 18 21 17 PLT I also have - got a new shot of tea here. One
thing l've done this time, is l've- the tea
frothes up a lot. Audw_at l've done is to
centrifuge it kind of with my arm, sh-_e it
to the bottom of the tube so that the bubbles
and the froth can then go on to the top. We've
got some pretty concentrated tea now, that will
go into the - to the tube. So I'Ii place this
tube between the - on the tape between the roll
and the timer, and we'll reinJect the tea into
the - into the top of the fiber stopper, -_ing
sure that we don't have any air between the tea
and the fiber stopper so that it will diffuse
properly through it. There are several things
about diffusion, probably, that I don't know,
but I do know that it is gravity dependent.
I also know that it's temperature dependent.
And it's dependent upon the two agents which
are diffusing, namely, in this case, the water
and the tea. And the molecule size being the
i_porta_t quantity.

263 18 22 56 PLT l'm sure there are a couple of other factors

that are related to the diffusion coefficient.

263 18 23 0_ PLT But one of the terms of the equation is gone_

that's gravity. The purpose of course, is to
see how diffusion takes place in the absence
of gravity, l'm now stirring the rest of this
tea into the water solution. The water that
forms around the top of the fiber stopper is
_=_ing very good contact. Guess about enough
tea. Don't want to put all the froth in there.
And we're taking pictures of this. And we're
Just going to let the clock run and come back
later and see w_at happens. Now we have about
an inch, I'd say, of - of tea, maybe a little
less - about seven-eighths of am inch of tea
setting on top of the fiber stopper.

263 18 24 28 PLT On the bottom we have about 4 inches of water,

which has started to form scne very minute
bubbles in it, as water does when it sits a
long time. And above that we have the fiber
stopper which is saturated with water at this
time. And it is about half an inch in length
"_2730 "

and then about - sitting on top of that about

seven-eighths of an inch of tea, which is in
places a little frothy, but it's m_naged to
make a very good contact with the fiber stopper.
So the purpose, of course, as I mentioned before,
is to study the effect of gravity on the dif-
fusion process of two liquids. In this case,
to see how diffusion takes place in the absence
of gravity. So with that, I'll sign off, and
the time is now 18:25 on day 263. And we'll
Just let that sit and periodically come back
and take a few frames of it, and see if we
can get some time-lapse photography on the
diffusion process.

263 18 25 52 PLT Thank you very much for listening, and we'll
check in with you later. PLT out.

263 18 29 58 SPT SPT on channel A with information on the 92/93

Just doublechecked to make sure we are back
on serial number ll blood pressure cuff now,
since the other one has a broken string. I'll

263 20 33 ll SPT This is a short note to Ed Michel and John Rummel

and Bill Thornton and Physiology and Astronaut
Office, both, respectively. You _ked us the other
day about heart rates and things like that. I was
Just pedaling the bicycle at an average load of
about 170 watts, finishing with about 175 for
30 minutes, a little over 5000 watt-mlnutes of work
and my heart, oh, fully leveled out at about 165.
It's really a little bit below that, but as I
began to get towards the end, why I went on up to
about 165.

263 20 33 47 SPT I expect that's consistent with the data that you've
seen on me at the higher workloads in the last
couple of weeks, but that's the information you were
asking for this week.

263 20 33 57 SPT End of message to Ed Michel, John B,_mel, Bill

Thornton, from the SPT.

263 20 35 01 CDR Okay, this is for EREP; CDR. It's been about
20 minutes since we turned on the 192. I'm now in
MODE, CHECK. I will now give you the readout of B-6.
B-6 indicates 57 percent, or roughly where it always
does, 57, so everything locks good.

263 20 35 18 CDR We'll be back later.

263 20 h3 54 CDR Okay, this is the CDR. We're going to do a little

recording for you, because you like to know what's
going on on this gages - these monitor gages.
We'll place them all on 2, first. And I'm going to
go through them A through D. And it's D-2 first,
okay? 59 percent, GO; 3, 86 percent, GO; D-4,
correction - A-4, 71 percent, GO ; A-5, 66 percent,
GO; A-6, less than l, that's not a GO, but you can
call it zero, I mean less than zero - you can call
it zero. It's a little bit lower than zero. Okay,
back to 2. B-2, 66 percent, GO; B-3, 76 percent,
GO; B-4, 71 percent, GO; B-5, 74 percent, GO; B-6,
50 percent, GO; B-7, 31 percent, GO; B-8, l, GO.
That 's one percent, obviously. B-9, 2. There 's
bad news.

263 20 45 04 CDR Now why is B-9 so low. Oh, I know why, because
that's the same one we got the one - 19B. Forget

today and looked at all the procedures and looked
at the book. Get that EVA next. We got to quit
th_nking about entry and start tb_nk_ug about EVA.

PLT Yes.

it still is, which is at normal. So they look
good.

CC Okay.

CDR Anybody holding their breath can _m-_diately

away as the day wears on. It's been a long one.

CDR (Laughter) We're wearing him out again, lie's got

to learn to toughen up. Ibmning the track will
help. I found this builds up your endurance.
Why don't you take him over to the gym sometime,
Dick?

263 20 55 20 CDR O_ay, 20. I've got 190 AUTO, _y the way, and 192

263 20 56 34 CDR Your training wasn't wasted.

•" PLT That's right. Right on, Dick.

CDR We got to get - we got to get that EREP simulator

to have clouds on it.

CDR It's a big old thunderstorm and some stratus.

Coastal stratus, that's what we need.

PLT Yes, I could do this until 15:30, he says. /-_

 2739

CDR Too bad. We got to get them to put the Great Lakes
on there because he hits those a lot.
\

PLT Lake Michigan is a toughie.

CDR That 's a good one.

PLT There's a goodie over there. Wait until we get

that one. W_oo! Ron Weitenhagen's going to like
this.

263 20 57 07 CDR Wonder how Ron and his gang are? Ernie, wonder
what b_'s doing these days?

PLT Probably working with him.

CDR SL-_.

eyes and their ears Just like Phil is down there.

_ CDR Okay, 57:2_, we put MODE, READY on 192.

PLT What was it got them, Dick? Was it that - that

Chinese dinner you're going to get everybody? I'll

PLT We're getting some good thick clouds here, Dick;

Just like the doctor ordered.

PLT And the 0ahe Reservoir is about one to two shots

I bet it 's covered with clouds. That 's why they
didn't give it to me ....

CDR You know, on that 192 - -

PLT Always thinking.

CDR On that 192 - correction - on M092, I think all

three of us are having less heart rate increase
with the DELTA-P than we had on the ground. We've
been in that can too much. • How many more runs do
we have, one more a piece?

CC Stand by.

263 20 59 08 PLT Okay, I'm taking five heavily clouded sites.

Oahe Reservoir.
 p

27_1

263 20 59 39 PLT They had one bridge years ago and they built another
one. They didn't want to call it "Bridges," because
that was the name of the town drlm_, so they called
it Mobridge because they had one more bridge. One
Mo _ Bridge.

some nice butterscotch pudding, a lemonade.

PLT Steak and ice cream at the club tonight.

CDR Nhoo!

263 21 01 i0 PLT l'm not going to turn the camera on because we're
over some clouds at the moment but perhaps we'll
come out of them, in which case, I'll Just turn
them on and let them run - -

CDR ...

PLT - - until 01:30.

CDR Standing by for 02:20, at which time we got

intervalometer, 20. I hope I can hack it.

PLT Hum. I'ii give a little bit of DAC here, Just

to let you know that we're over the clouds and
not taking any data.

263 21 Ol 38 CDR 02:20.

now. We might have something here. Except it's
too late. Time to go to this site up here, which
is _5 and left 2.8.

CDR You sure got a lot of EREP tape around, I know

that. The command module's going to float with
tape.

PLT 02:_ is the time.

263 21 02 18 PLT Those are the 2 days I flew 8 hops and _0 sites.

CDR I remember that.

CDR Recording A-2 and C-4. Let's go the same game.

You know C-4 is 71 percent; it still is. A-2 is a
mere 54.

PLT Come on, weather. I wouldn't tb_n_ with a 250, it

would be much better .... I'll get a 02:4_ and
overcast, Dick.

CDR Standing by for taping it.

263 21 02 49 PLT Alternate it is, 02:50 -

263 21 02 50 PLT MARK. It's overcast there, too. Tell you what,
I'll get you some more clouds. It's a different
kind of cloud this time.

CDR They haven't changed their minds about giving us an

extension, huh?

CC That 's affirm so far.

CDR Well, we're okay up until PET of 20 hours, I guess.

PLT Everybody hanging in down there pretty well, Dick?

CC Oh yes, we're doing fine.

CDR Did we tell you, I guess, we're bringing back two

extra EREP tapes, is that right?

CC That 's affirm.

263 21 03 28 CDR Yes I wanted to tell - I didn't tell _ the other

d_y, we couldn't get that last one in so I - I had
to take it off the reel and stuff it in one of the
compartments. But it's all in there.

CC For . .., huh? (Laughter)

 2744

263 21 03 55 CDR It's - it's - it's there. He won't have any trouble.

CDR It's - it's trying to figure out which end is the 1.

CDR (Laughter) Been reported that they lost comm.

PLT There 's the coast.

CC I'll answer - I'll answer Owen's question about the

laser as soon as I understand it. Good question
to answer.

263 21 05 O0 PLT AUTO CAL, I need to AUTO CAL you, baby.

CDR I did.

PLT Okay, you did; tb_k you.

263 21 05 07 PLT Okay, 07 the time. Our little trip over the
States brought us over Canada and over the U.S.
border at Idaho, over Great Falls, over Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, ... Burlington, Iowa--

263 21 ll 12 CDR Are you still there, Dick?

263 21 ll 18 CDR Okay, this is for the EREP officer, l-l/2 inches
is left on the tape; l-l/2 inches. And for the
EREP officer, also. At time - What time? At
time 04:10, I went - Instead of 192 MODE, STANDBY,
I went 190 MODE, STANDBY. I caught it about 20 s--_
seconds later. Flipped 190 to - 192 to STANDBY;
190, I've Just left as it was.
 2745

PLT Okay, do the ... by any chance.

CDR The what?

PLT ...

263 21 12 08 CDR Not yet.

263 21 12 09 PLT Okay.

263 21 20 05 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A with a message

for the EREP officer. There were T6 frames used
on CT09 by the time I got back down after looking
for that laser. It had actually run beyond
7 minutes for a little bit, and the END-0F-FILM
light was still not on. As a matter of fact, when
I did the film depletion, it sounded like there
were another 20 frames or so still on there, if
each of those little chugs that it gives as the
motor grinds away is a separate frame. So it
sounded like there were a good 20 frames left.
One other thing I must confess. Unfortunately,
/-_ this is your first 45-second interval of photo-
graphs between 20:56 and 56:45. I Just misread
the pad, and I wasn't ready for it. And when I -
came time to turn the - when I thought it was time
to turn the camera on, I was already 1 minute late.
So I, unfortunately, missed that 45-second segment.
It's probably over Vancouver Island, and I must
apologize for that. That's about the only other
information I've got here. I guess we're down to
a little bit of f_]m left in that IR camera, and
that'll have to do it for this flight. So appre-
ciate all your help keeping track of Enid for me
down there, and it might be we'll have one more
good pass. Let's see; another couple of days. I
guess we will have one more good pass (laughter)
over Enid. Thanks a lot, EREP. We'll see you
next week.

263 21 21 26 SPT End of message for the EREP officer from the SPT.

q

263 22 55 56 SPT Okay, SPT debriefing the last run on channel A.

Sitting here at about 22:55. Did the Sun-centered
work on JOP 6, did the TV down-link, and then
went over to the east limb. And there was one
particularly bright spot on the new active region
as you come around the east limb. So I did the
GRATING, AUTO SCAN and a partial MIRROR, AUTO
RASTER to get a little information on this for
S055. Nobody else is running at this time, of
course. Then I took the GRATING to 1941, mag-
nesium 10, and hunted for the coronal hole which
appeared on the XUV MON Just to the south of this
active region on the east limb. As it turns out,
magnesium l0 showed no hole. I don't know whether
or not - Well, I Just don't know what the ex-
planation for that is. So I then took a quick
look for another coronal hole over on the south-
west section. The one that I had worked on either -
Excuse me. Stand by.

26323 0347 SPT Okay.

263 23 06 59 SPT Okay, SPT completion of comments to the ATM Pls

and planners on debriefing the last ATM pass. So
I did take the GRATING to 1941 and looked for
those coronal holes, both on the west and the
older ones - excuse me - both near the east limb
and also in the southwest quadrant where I'd
worked before, and simply could find very little
signature in either H-alpha or on the XUV MON.
I was hoping to do a GRATING SCAN - AUTO SCAN
both inside and outside the coronal hole to pro-
vide a little more closely spaced data than I -
than I managed to get for you the last time. But
no luck on that, and I was a little slow getting
the GRATING back. And we've talked about that on
real time. So those are the end of the comments
from the SPT.

263 23 07 50 SPT Message goes to the ATM Pls and planners.

DAY 264 (AM)
p

264 07 49 33 CDR CDR on channel A. I'm putting some information

now on the VTR. I'm giving them H-alpha 2 just
to position, and then I'm going to XUV M0N for a
little integration. There's the MON. How about
some integration?

264 07 50 51 CDR Okay, we're running it for the boys in the backroom.
There's a little XUV- correction - WLC. I'll
omit the roll, inasmuch as I've got some other
things going on at the moment - namely, in JOP 6.

264 07 51 34 CDR And that's the end of the VTR, (cough) ATM
down-link.

TIME SKIP

264 08 14 B7 CDR CDR, debriefiug the 070 ATM run. Went well. The
J0P 6 came off perfectly. I gave you an extra
MIRROR AUTO - MIRROR - GRATING SCAN, which I don't
think will hurt too much. Went over and did the
shoppinglist item lB. Also gave 52 MODE, EXTENDED
SCAN. The times that I gave - I gave a SINGLE,
LONG of B, and then I gave about a 5-minute LONG
EXPOSURE. Make that 6 - a 6-minute LONG EXPOSURE.
So things look good. See you later.

264 08 15 22 CDR CDR out.

264 08 15 24 CDR The Sun, by the way, in XUV has got a nt_nber of
bright points now. Things are starting to pick up.
H-alpha 2 shows the brightest area over on the
limb. I don't believe you're suffer -

264 08 15 44 CDR That's in regions 33 and 34 it's particularly

brightened. Also, they are in UV. And then XUV
also shows something in the corona in that area.
UV also shows the active regions that are at about
4 o'clock, O.B; l0 o'clock, 0.2; and these other
three that have been made. But nothing spectacular.

264 08 16 14 CDR CDR out.

264 08 18 23 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject this morning is S019. This is the 5617
pad, the first run of the day. And we've got
 • i

2748

everything all set up. We're going to begin in

about 20 seconds. Nu Z on the pad is plus 4.3,
and that in the spacecraft is plus 3.9; therefore,
no correction is required. We got cassette number
005; the prism is in. And we're going to start on
field 512 here at exactly 18:19. Stand by. We'll
go to CARRIAGE - SLIDE RETRACTED.

264 08 19 01 PLT MARK. SHUTTER is OPEN. Frame 122; field 512; a

270-second exposure.

PLT And the ROTATION is 322.4, and the TILT is 13.4.

And the widening lever was verified to be in 270,
and the crank is turning away. This will be on
a 27C-second, widened exposure.

264 08 19 35 PLT And we'll go off the air and come back in a little
while.

264 08 22 58 PLT Okay, stand by to CLOSE the SHUTTER on frame 122.

264 08 23 02 PLT MARK. SHUTTER CLOSED. CARRIAGE RETRACTER. Now

a 30-second exposure on the same one. Move the
wi - widening lever to 30. Crank the crank. For
some reason I can't get into CARRIAGE RE - SLIDE

full drawer left in our urine storage trays. And
let's see; we have Just stowed day 55. This is
the morning of day 56. So I assume that we will
not be asked to store more than one more full urine
sample and that the rest of our sample will be
half samples, which I can go back and replace in
other locations. If you would confirm that for me,
I would appreciate it. And also make our Flight
Plan request consistent with that.

264 09 23 17 CDR This is information for biomed, particularly

those concerned with urine measurements. This
morning when it came time to weigh my - measure
my urine bag, I opened the drawer and found that
I had a urine leak. I tried to establish exactly
why it leaked. And it looked llke perhaps the
little rubber cup that fits over the outlet from
the centrifuge was not fully on, although it
looked like it was on. It looks like - It also
looked like it conceivably could have been parti-
ally not over the bump, the wide part of that
thing. At any rate - -

SPT Say, Al?

CDR - - I had a lea/<. My estimate of the leak would

be that it was about two-thirds the volume of the
sample bag, if I took a sample bag and poured all
the urine in there. Maybe the leak - -

SPT Say, A1, I think I overestimated on that.

CDR - - 2 of the urine,but you need to add to that

about the amount I said of the sample bag urine
to it. That would be my best guess.

on the schedule was done as planned, but I did
include an extra pair of shopping llst 13's for
S056. They were 10-minute exposures, FILTER 3
and 4, at the northern limb. And that's about
all there is to say on the last run.

264 09 49 58 SPT End of message to the ATMPI and planners from

the SPT.

264 09 55 15 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel A.

We Just got a pad up from the ground. We're
going to execute it with canister 003. The
NuZ you gave is plus 4.3. That on the spacecraft
2752

is plus 3.9; therefore, no need for a correction.

And we're going to take the seven final frames
on S019, canister number 3. And we've got the
mirror extended, the film hatch is open, and we
got to set the ROTATION to 343.9. And that's
what we're doing now; 343, increasing numbers - .9.
That's set in. 18.3 is for TILT. That's set up.
Field of 560. The time to go is right now. So
here we go. We're going to set the 270 in the
film widening, crank the crank, and go to SLIDE
RETRACTED, and doublecheck that time as 09:56.
Let's see. That's 09:56:30. So stand by.

264 09 56 32 PLT MARK. SHUTTER, OPENED. Fr_e 145, field 560, a

270-second widened exposure. ROTATION 343.9 and
TILT 18.3. On the other cassette, number 005, I
had already - previously to your request, gone
through malfunction procedure number - page 2-2
and found that it simply led me over into the one
on the preceding page regarding the film hatch.
And we don't have a film hatch problem. I took
the canister into the head and turned out the lights
and closed the door - it makes it very dark in _-_
there - and took the end plate off and I noticed
that the f_]m hatch worked normally. And, feeling
around, I noticed that the carriage obviously was
retracted, but the - the shutter was also closed.
I could not open it because the lever freewheels
over into the OPEN position. Had no difficulty
at all with the film hatch, so I closed it. The
film hatch is not the problem. I closed the film
hatch and put the cover back on, and I depressed
it, and that's where canister number 5 is right
now.

262 09 58 22 PLT And I'm going off the air for a minute.

264 l0 00 06 PLT Okay, we're getting ready to CLOSE the SHUTTER on

frame - or correction - yes frame 151, field 211,
a SO-second exposure and according to the fellows
who know this machine even better than I do, that
was the last frame that should be taken. Now we'll
go about closing the door and taking the film can-

26h ii i_ 3h SPT SPT on channel A with a note to Ed Gibson

and Bob Parker. I wanted to let you know
ahead of time what I'm doin_ with the science
kit, the little black box here with -made
out of Mosite. I'm putting it all up in
locker 908, which is the one in your sleep
compartment, Ed, unless the Deactivation
Checklist has me put it somewhere else, but
I think that's where it's supposed to go.
Included in it are all the things that came
down in it - the pendulum and the kit balls,
which aren't going to be of any use, and so on.

26hli 13 39 SPT Also, the little tiny magnifying glass that

i used to look at the fish. Also, the little
chainand the long - Well, it's a long brass
chain and a long chain like goes on a washtub
or a sink stopper. And also, a couple of
larger magnets that were apparently put into the
wardroom for use as sort of paperweight types.
So these larger ma - magnets are the ones I used
in some of the m_gnetic demonstrations, and
they're pretty useful.

26h ll lh l0 SPT So all that stuff I'll put up there in locker 908
or wherever the Deactivation Checklist
calls for it to go. And there's one other
thing that the two of you might be considering,
before we get back, as a possible useful science
demonstration on the next flight. And that
would be to demonstrate some of these very -
relatively small forces, like the zero dynamic
effects and even smaller, the gravity-gradient
torques.

26h ii lh 3h SPT But you can't do it out in the open because of

air current. I'd suggest, instead, one of the
larger food lockers up on the dome area from
the experiment level. Now if a door - one of
those doors could be taken off and then a clear
door put over it, eithera littleplastic sheet
2756

or something like that, and a way mounted for

a DAC camera to be installed in front of that
and then have a sequencer, so you can take,
say, one frame every - one frame a second or so
or even one frame every 5 or l0 seconds, then
you could see the motions of - some of these
motions produced by some of these small forces.
And we don't have a sequencer like that onboard.
But I can't imagine that in 6 weeks, one cannot
be found or built someplace. I'd suggest a
couple of frame rates, but on the order of one
frame a second seems to be about right. And
then you get this DAC set up there and, for
example, turn some fruit cans (butterscotch
cans or something like that) loose inside (two
or three of them) and watch them move from
side to side around through the locker.

264 ii 15 42 SPT Now I've done a similar experiment like that

with the little trash locker in the wardroom
compartment, near where I eat, and you can
see the cans move around. I didn't do it long _-_
enough to actually plot their trajectories as
a function of our orbital position. And the
cans also tend to sort of get stuck to the wall
sometimes. But still, if you had some either c
cans or balls that you could turn loose in
there and photograph from the time to time with
a sequencer (not manually - you don't have time
for that - but with a sequencer to do it
automatically. Then I think this might make a
very useful demonstration.

264 ll 16 16 SPT First of all, there's the orbital mechanics of

how a ball moves on an independent trajectory
when it's displaced from the center of gravity
of the workshop. And then, secondly, you might
be able to set up a little dump valve or rod
to demonstrate the gravity-gradient torques.
I'm not sure that that can be done or not, but
it might be worth a try.

264 ll 16 36 SPT And so that'd be one new thing that I would

suggest that you all consider and try to im-
plement with some relatively simple additions.
And the rest of this science kit I'll leave where
I told you before. So this information goes
to Dr. Edward Gibson, Dr. Robert Parker in f-_
the Astronaut Office from the SPT.

to that, I gave S056 three LONGEXPOSURE on

_ 264 12 21 21 PLT ()kay,space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject is the ice-cube-melting experiment. I
weighed the ice cube - or ice cylinder after
taking it out of the freezer this morning. It had
the - the outside circular ease, and it had the
cap near the end or the bottom; but I cut off the
- the top that sits over the top of the string so
it was the snap-on cap and the string. And it
also had one swab in it. Here I got five weights
on it as follows: 2.03198, 2.03229, 2.03162,
2.03167, 2.03166. And I measured the air velocity
in the vicinity of the experiment, and it's zero,
and I - or negligible_ not measurable at any rate.
And also the temperature - I have the ambient
thermometer mounted on the experiment so it's right
there in plain view of the camera; so shouldn't be
any-problem knowing what the temperature is there
every time we take pictures.

264 12 22 41 PLT Every 5 minutes I've been - As much as I could, I've

been taking five frames; so it's in the process
of melting now. As far as I could make it, the
ice cube itself was a homogeneous mass of water when
I put it in the freezer. The top around the -
around the place where you take the pills out, if
you use it as a pill container,had a littleempty
 2758

space at the top; I Just couldn't get it all filled

up with water. But I shook it to the point where
it didn't have any bubbles to speak of in the solid
mass ; so it ought to melt homogeneously.

264 12 23 20 PLT I noted, as you would expect, that upon freezing,

it had expanded a little bit and had made little
cracks in itself and had bulged out the plastic
container a little bit.

264 12 23 32 PLT I took it out and Just held it in my hand for a

few seconds_ and then it slid right out. So that's
the status on the melting experiment at the time.
And I'll continue taking pictures of it in the next
hour or so, so when it's ccmpletely melted, to put
an end to it, to record the diffusion of soak
through the water ball that's left. And I've rig-
ged it up so that it will not touch anything - the
water globule will not touch anything; it will be
completely suspended on the swab when it's melted
fully.

264 12 24 l0 PLT Okay, this is the end of the message of the melting
experiment.

TIME SKIP

264 12 56 58 SPT SPT on channel A, debriefing the ATM pass Just now
completing at about 12:57. Looked for JOP 7 data
on both the beginning and the end of this orbit.
Did do the Nuz update. Not of interest to the
ATM, I guess. Well, it may be for flow
information. And did all the ATM scheduled activ-
ities, including the long exposure for S052, frame
number 295. Then went to the observing period.
Went over and took a look first at active region 34,
a partial MIRROR AUTO RASTER, if I recall correctly,
and then active region 36 looked like it might be
beginning to have a small subflare activity. And
there was an H-alpha brightening, and there might
have been a small increase in X-ray. The H-alpha
signature or H-alpha picture looks _]most like a
horseshoe crescent of little bright points.

264 12 58 03 SPT It's a very convoluted neutral line, and the string ._-_
of bright points follows it all the way around
 2759

through an arch about like a horseshoe. And

then - -

264 13 02 43 SPT Okay, Story. You're not reading me on channel A

yet, are you?

264 13 02 53 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A, picking up

with that debriefing that got cut off a minute
ago on the tape recorder dump, debriefing the
pass which Just ended about 13:00 Zulu. Looked
for JOP 7 extinction data on both the beginning
and the end of - of the orbit. The planned items
on the ATM schedule went off as specified, including
the 4-minute exposure for 52, frame number 295.
After that we took a look at active region 34.
And if I remember correctly, did a partial MIRROR,
AUTO RASTER, and then active region 36 looked like
it might be in the beginning of a small flare
activity. So I went over there to the brightest
region of the H-alpha picture, and the H-alpha
picture is worth describing, incidentally.

_ 264 13 03 49 SPT The neutral line is very convoluted, very sinewy,

and there is a sort of horseshoe-shaped ring of
bright points following one of the arches of the
neutral line. And these were all varying in
intensity, and the XUV signature was also fluc-
tuating somewhat as could be told by looking at
the oxygen VI detector counter. So I did do a
GRATING AUTO SCAN on the brightest points and
then a MIRROR LINE SCAN for 15 or 20minutes
followed by a partial MIRROR AUTO RASTER. We
also picked up some LONG EXPOSUREs for S056, a
R-minute exposure on FILTER 3, and a 5-minute
exposure on FILTER 4. And then I broke your
ground rule a little bit, Jim, and did take one
PATROL, SHORT while we were pointing at this
active region 36, because it looked particularly
interesting, and I thought it wouldn't hurt to
try it once there and without undue cycling of
your - of your filter drive mechanism and if it
hung up, I was going to quit. But it cycled
right on through it fine without any problem,
so I thought that might be of interest to you
there also, Jim. That's the end of the debriefing

Bravo 8, 1 percent; Charlie 7 is 5h percent, so we
leave the COOLER, ON; and Delta 6 is 57 percent.

264 13 36 ll PLT Now I'll go through a few other things here that
interest you most Of the time. Let's get the
192 DOOR, OPEN. Okay, so to do that we go to
READY. Stand by for the READY light to come on.
In the meantime, the S190 HEATER SWITCH light is

both of those lights are working. And we'll go
over the ready verification again.

264 13 36 45 PLT We got 192 high, LOW, HIGH; 191 is CALIBRATE 9 and
REFERENCE 2. 190 SHUTTER SPEED is in SLOW. The
FRAMES are set at 5 and 6, and INTERVATS are 20.
193 is NA - not applicable - not applicable in
POLAR 1. 193 A is not applicable, and we are in

wise, Jack, and haven't had a chance. I got ... - -

PLT I know it.

SPT - - turn on, and I'll get a couple.

PLT I know it. We kind of had to interrupt the pic -

taking pictures of the melt experiment here for
the last i0 minutes or so because we got busy
doing EREP, Story. But the thing's pretty well
melted, just got a little bit of ice in it forming
a nice ball around the outside. Don't breeze over
there too fast, Owen, or it'll float off.

PLT Still no diffusion. *** they'd clear me to use

another one of those little test tubes, I'd set
up a diffusion experiment that we could watch.

PLT Alpha 2 is 40 - 57 percent for some reason.

Charlie 4, 71 percent. Maybe it Just likes to
be over water.

264 13 46 05 CDR DAC off. That finished that little one. Now we
go up to 45 up and left to zero - right, zero.
Okay, stand by to go on here at 47:17, Just a
minute away. We're over some - it looks like
overcast cirrus - hard to tell. Just looks white
out.

PLT 35 percent being read at Charlie 8 now. It hangs

in there, and it's real steady when you got the
old tape burner running.

CDR I think it's just haze. I think we're actually _-_

over the ocean, but hazy. It's hard to tell. If
I zoomed in, I might be able to tell more.

PLT Standing by for 47:30. Tape recorder's getting

low. *** here - 31 percent. Still got a half
a minute to go.

CDR Coming up 47 :17.

PLT 192 is in CHECK. I got a RECORDER MALF light on

steady now with a TAPE MOTION light on steady.
I've never seen that before. It's - now the
MALF light went out. I think it's that roll of
tape. Story, is that a roll of tape one that
was up here when we got here, or did we bring it up?

CDR We're tracking away, Story. 20 degrees; same old

site. Kind of greenish ... - -

PLT Something's different about that roll of tape than

any other roll of tape we've run through.

CDR Why, does it feel different?

264 13 48 07 PLT It's already - it's also on recorder number 2,

which might make a difference, but did not make
a difference yesterday.

CC That's correct, Jack, and it's happened before.

PLT I know it's happened before, but it hasn't happened

to us on tape recorder i.

CDR ... zero.

PLT Has it happened on tape recorder 27 Is it a

function of the tape recorder or the tape?

CC It's the tape recorder.

264 13 58 30 PLT Okay, thank you. I got it in my funay list, and

Your SI maneuver time is verified, and it looks
like a good pass you had.

264 13 55 _5 CDR We got them all. Boston was - We got Boston, but
it wasn't straight down by then. I followed the
first site until it was about 20 degrees back and
then moved up to Boston, and so Boston we started
maybe l0 degrees back, but we got it.

PLT They'll like that.

26_13 56 03 SPT That should have been excellent data, Story. About
the only thing socked in happened to be that
Washington-Baltimore area. The rest of the coast _-_"
all the way up and down was nearly clear.

PLT The weather's clearing up now that we're leaving.

CC Okay, great.

PLT *** think it was an active Sun that made all the
weather down there - over the States.

PLT Did you see the fire stoking away down there?

264 14 09 42 CDR I could see. I zoomed in - There was three little

vents. It looked like smoke might have been com-
ing out from one of the vents; the other two were
dormant. So it's a good question as to exactly
what we had going there. May have been some sort
of - Just a little bit of steam.

264 14 l0 02 CDR Anyhow, we got some data for them that they'll -

the 02 SUPPLY to CLOSE, and then when I get the

tone, I presume I'll open it again_

PLT Check your medium pressure ga_e, 27 to hS.

CDR Okay, I've got it closed; it's reading _0.

SPT SOP FLOW.

CDR "I have SOP FLOW.

PLT Roger. Go to OPEN on the S - SUS i, 02 SUPPLY

valve.

CDR Medium pressure gage looked okay to me. Make

sure it's open and locked in that little detent, f_..
Okay, now if you'll scoot a little bit, I can do
mine.

PLT Okay, verify your SOP FLOW light off.

265 ll 02 ll SPT Okay, SOP FLOW light is off.

PLT Roger. Possible - -

SPT It's really my SUIT PRESS light came on and it's

still on; my SUIT PRESS dropped to 2-1/2.

PLT Possible slight gage - slight cuff gage decrease,

it says, but - -

SPT Slight! That' s 2-1/2.

PLT Okay, well, we got an SOP that isn't - -

CDR Let me look at your SOP.

PLT - - slight.

CDR Make sure it's fully open and everything; hold on.
It shouldn't do that.

265 ll 02 48 SPT Okay, why don't you try that again?

 2801

CDR I'm still a little bit puzzled. Are we supposed

to be in IVA, flow?

PLT I think they didn't change that checklist thing.

They still assume we're on the water.

SPT Well, I'm - I'm worried. I'm Just thinkin_ about

this hatch.

PLT Let me look back. Supposed to be in IVA, verify,

it says.

CDR Okay, go ahead and try it again, 0.

SPT All right.

265 ll 03 17 PLT I think maybe we got too big a hole in the SOP.

CDR Okay, your SUIT PRESS gage dropped -

SPT I got SOP FLOW and I got SUIT PRESS light. I'm
_ going down to 2-1/2; I'm going lower.

PLT Okay, I'm depressing. What happens when you go

to the next smaller hole?

SPT That is the smallest, next to OFF.

PLT Okay.

SPT Suit's not holding my suit pressure.

PLT Okay, I'm not sure if this connection is good.

Let's check Al's and see if it doesn't say any-
thing - -

CDR Okay, let's do that. Then we'll come back and

work on yours.

PLT All right. Al, you're on 323 there. SUS 2.

CDR Okay, here I come.

PLT SUS 2, 02 SUPPLY valve, CLOSED.

CDR Okay, just a minute. Now, that's the way that

thing did the other day when I was checkingit
out, if you remember when we were talking about
it.
2802

265 ll 04 03 PLT Is that the same one?

CDR Yes, I think so.

PLT There's another SOP under that hatch back there,

you know.

CDR Okay, my pressure's okay and it's flowing good.

PLT 27 to _57

CDR It's just right.

PLT What's your cuff ga - gage pressure?

265 ll 04 22 CDR Cuff gage went from 37 to 35. Now, obviously

something's wrong with our - either that PCU or
that - -

PLT SOP. •

SPT Well, the other thing is my cuff gage has only

come back to 3.25; it's never come all the way
back to 3.6 where it was.

PLT Are you in REG, BOTH_

SPT I'm in BOTH.

PLT Okay, well, it sounds to me like it's the REG 2

pressure or the - -

SPT I can go to REG 1.

PLT REG 2 is 3.2 to 3.5. I think.

SPT Yes, but - -

CDR Slowly creeping up. .It's up to 3.55.

PLT It ought to go up faster than that.

CDR Is your - is that valve full open?

265ii 05 02 PLT Whichvalve?

 2803

SPT The OWS - the supply.

CDR The 02 SUPPLY.

PLT Something to Jab it with.

SPT Okay. Fully open.

CDR Turn around. Let me look at your - Okay, scoot

this way.

SPT Doesn't sound to me like I got a PCU- that works.

CDR That's what I think; hold on a second. Look at

this connector.

SPT Okay. Now, it's possible that the SOP is not

firmly mated.

CDR Want to depress now. I can't work in this - in a

pressurized suit too well.

265 ll 06 05 PLT What if I come in there and help you?

CDR That's not a bad idea.

SPT Okay. I've got to move that tree out; Just a

minute.

CDR Get back.

SPT Don't come in until we get the tree out, Jack.

PLT Okay.

SPT All right. You said you had the same problem the
last time you used this PCU.

PLT I did. So - T020 or something like that.

SPT How did it look. Okay?

CDR Yes, it looked okay to me.

265 ii 07 07 PLT Okay, try it again.

SPT Allright.
2804

PLT I'll look at this gage.

SPT You're going to have to rotate over here to get

that.

PLT I'll try to stay over you and look at the gage.

CDR Okay?

SPT Okay, I got an SOP FLOW and my suit pressure's

falling.

PLT Okay, gage here looks okay.

SPT Down bellow 2-1/2.

CDR Well, if it goes - you - you're in DELTA-P, right?

Why don't you turn the pressure back up - -

SPT I 'm not fully in DELTA-P. Maybe that 's it. Just
a minute ; let me go all the way to DELTA-P.

265 ll 08 O1 CDR Go back on flow - this flow; you got - you're on

that flow.

SPT Yes, I'm on that flow, and I've now got my - I'm
fully in DELTA-P. That might have been the cause,
if that - -

CDR Now it's fully in DELTA-P.

SPT Fully DELTA-P and I'm steady at 3.75.

CDR Okay, now let 's try it.

SPT Okay. That's SOP FLOW and now my suit pressure

is holding 3.55 which is only 0.2 less.

CDR Okay, that's the way it's supposed to be.

265 ll 08 33 SPT That's the way it's supposed to be, and I've been
holding my own since.

PLT Okay, that was the problem.

PLT Okay,go backto FLOW

....
 2805

SPT I'm going back up in DELTA-P again.

PLT Thank you, A1; I'm glad you thought of that.

PLT Okay.

SPT All set.

CDR You got your hatch still locked, don't you, Jack?

PLT Yes.

265 ll 09 07 CDR On full DELTA-P. And ready to go to the next step.

PLT Okay, you did your check, A1. So EV-1 and 2,

visually verify neckrings, SOP, and four PCU
connectors locked and wrist connectors.

SPT Okay, we Just went through all that.

CDR We did it.

265 ll 09 25 PLT Okay, AM depress. Warning, if the cuff gage drops

below 3.6 during the depress, LOCK DEPRESS valve,
CLOSED, and EV-3, forward hatch PRESSURE EQUALI-
ZATION valve, OPEN. Okay?

SPT/CDR Okay.

265 ll 09 45 PLT Watch your cuff gage and don't let it go below
3.6. Okay, I CLOSE the PRESSURE EQUALIZATION
valve, and I verify it's CLOSED. EV-1 and 2,
note: If the LOW VENT FLOW light comes on before
the depress is complete, go EVA NORM.

CDR Okay.

PLT During the depress, the cuff gage may read _.l max
in DELTA-P mode. Warning - I check the rate-of-
climb indicator. If it exceeds lO0 feet a minute,
or if the caution and warning fires off, I'll tell
you to close the DEPRESS valve. All right?

CDR Okay.

265 ll lO 25 PLT We got to go through here. Okay, EV-1, panel 318.

DEPRESS valve,OPEN.
2806

PLT - - forward pressure and, EV-1, on panel 316,

monitor the LOCK PRESSURE to approximately 0.15 - -

CDR I'll watch that.

PLT Okay.

265 ll l0 50 CDR 4.5 now.

PLT Okay, I see him coming down. MY rate of climb is

holding solid. What time is it?

265 ll ll 09 CDR The time is ll:10. I wonder when our window was?

SPT It was originally from about 09:30 to i0:00, but _-

they - they said therereallywasn't any window
because they're staying in solar inertial, or
staying in EV dump inhibit.

PLT Yes.

SPT That el_m_uated the window.

PLT Okay, monitor the LOCK PRESSURE to about 0.15.

CDR A lot of ice today.

SPT Yes.

PLT Remove the screen when the pressure stabilizes

about 0.B to complete the depress.

265 ll ll 35 SPT About the way it has been. I started to break

it off on one of them, but then I found that if
you knock the ice through the screen, it m_e it
impossible to spot where it'd wind up on the
next one, so it's better Just to not touch it.
It'll begin to sublimate a little later.

CDR Sure collects, doesn't it? _Imost builds up.

 2807

SPT Yes.

265 ll 12 ll CDR Like rice on the screens.

SPT Yes. And they're nicely shaped crystals; not like

snowflakes, but like - -

PLT Okay.

CDR You're right; it does begin to sublimate, doesn't

it?

SPT Yes.

CDR Kind of goes away.

SPT Kind of scatters.

PLT Particles in the whole chamber.

SPT Roger; it - -

CDR You can pick some up there, and I can pick some up
away with my hands, Just as you can.
2808

PLT Can blow them away.

265 ll 15 41 CDR Now I can take the screen off, now. I don't think
it's going to get any lower. It's Just going to
get ...

SPT Slowly; it has been pretty slow though.

PLT I got about 0.7 in here. What do you guys got?

CDR Just a second, let me get the screen off.

SPT That little bit of ice I bet will come back in

Just a minute.

CDR Okay, it might.

265 ll 16 32 CDR Try to put your hand over near the thing.

SPT Do I have to bat it away?

CDR Yes. _"

CDR Nice batting (laughter), home run.

PLT ... around your fingers. I got about 0.3 in here.

265 ll 32 25 SPT-EVA Incidentally, for the EVA troops down there, I

think 31 feet is a little too much. I clamped

it was 6000. It's down now - -

265 ll 56 41 CDR-EVA Glad he's got a long checkout. It gives us a good

chance to look around.

SPT-EVA Yes.

265 ll 56 _5 PLT Okay, this is the end of my work, soon as this

thing times out. Got about a minute.

CDR-EVA That's bad.

PLT And then that, 0., you're going to turn on the DAC
and manage Al's umbilical and Al's going to unclamp
_-_ his egress the VC and translate to the transfer
work station going over the top of the twin poles,
if installed, that is.

265 ll 57 08 CDR-EVA It's installed, but I don't know which way over
the top is.

PLT That's above when below is down.

CDR-EVA Okay, th_=k you.

265 ll 57 21 CDR-EVA Look down there, Big 0.

PLT Okay, we decremented by 6.

PLT Doesn't say to do anything more with the attitude.

Do nothing. Okay, A1, why don't you do that?

265 ll 57 34 SPT-EVA Okay, Just a minute.

CDR-EVA As soon as the Big 0. gives me the go, I'm bailing

out.

SPT-EVA ...

265 ii 57 37 CDR-EVA Oh - oh! S082 door - 82A's door is closed, now.

Did you close it?
2836

PLT I didn't do anything to it.

CDR-EVA Let me turn on the power and open it again.

SPT-EVA How do you know - you mean you can tell from the
flags?

CDR-EVA Sure.

265 ll 57 51 PLT Maybe when you went to POWER to INHIBIT.

265 ll 57 56 CDR-EVA No. Try it again. Okay, B DOOR's OPEN; let's see
what A's going to do. Now A's OPEN. Let me turn
OFF POWER. Stayed OPEN. Strange.

SPT-EVA What do your ta]kbacks show inside, Jack?

265 ll 58 13 PLT B POWER, OFF; t_Ikbacks, white.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Okay, that's good, they're both OPEN down here. _-_"
Are you ready, Big 0?

265 ll 58 19 SPT-EVA Just a second. I'll turn your DAC off.

PLT See if I can move up to this window, and see if I

can get a picture of the Skipper.

CDR-EVA There's Eurasia. We've seen it all, 0. Move back

here and see if I can get a glimmer of India. My
goodness! There it is.

265 ii 58 52 SPT-EVA I cannot get the green light to flash. It was

flashing when I turned it off, but I can't get
it to flash again.

CDR-EVA I'll tell you what you could do is, you could see
that the - the magazine is on there tight.

265 II 59 15 SPT-EVA Yes, it's on tight. And we've got about 50 percent.

CDR-EVA You could try loosening the magazine and tightening

it again and then punching the button.

SPT-EVA I don't want to loosen that thing because I'm

afraid that I'll never get that thing back on in
these gloves.
 • 2837

CDR-EVA Okay.

265 ll 59 32 PLT Check your settings to m_e sure they're not in

between somewhere, say, on the fr-_es - -

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT And the time.

SPT-EVA Okay. I'll cycle that 6 feet per second again,

which I Just did.

PLT Bang the power box.

265 ll 59 46 CDR-EVA Yes, that's always good.

CDR-EVA Get a pic like this, Jack.

PLT I'm trying]

CDR-EVA (Laughter) I'll tell those guys things went a

.... little rough at first.

265 12 00 01 SPT-EVA Well, you got me. I don't -

CDR-EVA Everything was okay; I was Just a little confused.

(Laughter)

265 ]2 00 17 PLT Ah! I hope that got you.

CDR-EVA See what you've got. How about a pic, Jack?

Here I am.

PLT Okay, Just a minute.

CDR-EVA I'll be waiting for the O. to do his thing.

265 12 00 36 SPT-EVA Well, I'm sorry, but this cotton-picking thing

doesn't want to start again.

CDR-EVA What a guy.

PLT I don't know what to tell you, 0.

265 12 00 h_ SPT-EVA I've cycled the frames. I've cycled the time.

_-_ PLT Sounds like he's done about everything.

2838

SPT-EVA And I've checked the tightness on the magazine.

PLT I see you there, A1.

CDR-EVA Wait a minute; let me see you.

PLT Tell me when the camera ia pointing at me becauae

there's Just no way to see you - -

CDR-EVA Okay, I'll tell you. Move it up. Wrong way.

That's it.

265 12 01 07 PLT Take it now?

265 12 01 08 CDR-EVA You bet.

PLT Okay.

CDR-EVA They're going to say that guy was on there

backwards.

CDR-EVA Let me know when you're ready for me to _Ake my

big move, 0.

SPT-EVA Well, why don't you go ahead, because there's

nothing else I can do here.

CDR-EVA Okay. How about center work station?

PLT Watch your grommet.

SPT-EVA Just a minute. Now let's see if that's over or

un - That 's actually under.

CDR-EVA Let's go over. Now let's watch we don't touch

anything that Jack did.

265 12 01 43 PLT Now you' re going under, A1.

CDR-EVA I know I'm going - I'm going back and around.

You have to come back.

PLT That's right. Now. Go over it.

PLT Now you're doing Just like they wanted.

265 12 01 58 CDR-EVA Now we're doing Just like the plan, is that what _
you're saying?
 2839

CDR-EVA Figure s.

CDR-EVA Hey, that's a nice thing you put out there, Jack.

265 12 02 09 PLT How's it looking?

CDR-EVA Looking good; it's unfolded. It's still got a

lot of accordion-like places, but it's okay.

PLT Take a look at the trailing edge when you get out
there and- -

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT - - see how flat it is.

SPT-EVA I'm going to give you a little more umbilical here.

CDR-EVA Nell, feel free to then, 0.

•265 12 02 25 PLT Give him enough rope there, 0. Let me get back to
_- my checklist here.

265 12 02 31 CDR-EVA Well, this is not a bad place to be on Saturday

morning. Now, there's that cable that Pete put on.
It's not as far down as I thought.

265 12 02 40 PLT Yes, you can see it out one of these windows.

CDR-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Boy, look at all those samples.

PLT Yes.

SPT-EVA Don 't breathe on them.

CDR-EVA Couple of those little white ones are coming a

little bit undone. That's - that's a classic ex-
periment. Not a bad place to be, gang.

265 12 02 58 PLT Okay, rotate and ingress the VT foot restraint,

using the solar shield handrail to aid ingress.

265 12 03 04 CDR-EVA Complete!

PLT Give me an _NU status check down the line.

2840

CDR-EVA It'll be the Big 0. first.

265 12 0B 12 SPT-EVA Okay, I'm reclamping these umbillcals, so it will

be a minute.

265 12 03 22 SPT-EVA 3.70; no lights.

265 12 0B 24 CDR-EVA And 3.65; no lights.

PLT I guess you like that all right.

CDR-EVA If you can't get anything else, it'll have to do.

265 12 03 32 PLT Okay, now, A1, remove the restraint from the 149
crank.

265 12 03 37 CDR-EVA In work.

265 ]2 0B 45 PLT Got your hand right on it. See there? He knows
right where to go. l_t]l harder. Little baldy
can't see.

265 12 03 58 PLT Attaboy.

265 12 03 59 PLT Rotate the 149 cr_k slowly clockwise to close the
cassette, 7 seconds per rev maximt_n.

CDR-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA Trying to get the Sun out of my eyes at the same

time.

PLT Okay. Same time you do that, I'll ma_e you shield
the Sun and I'm going to take your picture, if
you don 't move.

265 ]2 04 40 CDR-EVA I wouldn't move.

PLT I got the camera- f/8 at 125th [sic], f/8,

125th [sic]. And I point it at the Bean. Lean
back Just a little, A1. Shade the Sun. Not too
far. Ah, that's a boy! Oh, m_n, that's great!
(Whi stle )

265 12 05 08 PLT I got you on the Hasselblad.

CDR-EVA
Good.
 284&

PLT After a while, when 0. drifts out of his cubbyhole

back there. A11 I can see is his knees and his
feet.

SPT-EVA Can you see me when I drift out?

PLT Yes, I can see you when you drift out.

SPT-EVA You want me to do it now?

265 12 05 26 PLT Let's - No, let's get along now.

SPT-EVA Okay; all right.

PLT Of course I don't want to do it in darkness.

PLT You got to extend the boom over there to AI, but
looks like he's pr - almost got the things locked
there.

265 12 06 03 CDR-EVA Wish this thing would quit cranking.

265 12 06 04 PLT You've got to lock the locks. After it gets

closed, it locks some locks as you crank.

CDR-EVA It quits cranking?

PLT After about 22 times or something like that. And,

0., you're going to extend the boom down to A1.

265 12 06 21 SPT-EVA I think I extend it a little way first and clip

the - -

PLT The BOOM to VT as directed by EV-2.

SPT-EVA Well, I've got to put the boc_ out first.

265 12 06 30 CDR-EVA Okay, that one's done.

PLT Verify that it 's unlocked.

265 12 06 39 PLT Okay, A1, now's the time to fix that tether.

CDR-EVA Looking for a good place to hook it on.

PLT There's a hole in the handle there, somewhere.

265 12 06 47 SPT-EVA You see a place where the extension rod narrows
down? Say, Al?
2842

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA I believe that's where it attaches.

CDR-EVA Okay. That's where _the thing attaches to the -

to the bo_n.

SPT-EVA It is? Oh.

CDR-EVA I got a mind to hold it - -

SPT-EVA That tether - -

PLT Can't break it. Should be a bracket with a bunch

of holes in it.

265 12 07 l0 CDR-EVA There it is; I see it. It's got a hook on it

right there. It was underneath, and I was looking
at the top.

PLT Okay,thereyou go. "_--"

265 12 07 18 CDR-EVA All right, I've got that done.

PLT Okay, 0., verify the boom lock is unlocked.

265 12 07 24 SPT-EVA Verified.

265 12 07 29 PLT Okay, EXTEND the BOOM to VT as directed by A1.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

PLT Turn the clamp cr-nk clock - counterclockwise to

unlock the clamp, A_I.

265 12 07 44 CDR-EVA I did.

PLT And then you squeeze the lever. Remove the assembly
from the solar shield and place on the boom hook.

265 12 07 50 SPT-EVA Boom! You've got it.

CDR-EVA Just 1 second, Big 0. I'd sort of like to get

in the foot restraint.

265 12 07 55 SPT-EVA Little chips of paint are flying all over.

 28b,3

265 12 08 00 PLT Away, all away. That's the place for them to go.

CDR-EVA Okay, Big 0.

SPT-EVA Okay. Here comes the Sun end.

265 12 08 ll CDR-EVA Sun end.

CDR-EVA Well, that 's not a bad place.

265 12 08 20 CDR-EVA Getting dark down there on Earth.

PLT Holy smoke, the Sun is bright' The old booms - 'A
been working well, haven' t they? Say when, A1.

CDR-EVA Not yet.

265 12 08 _7 CDH-EVA When!

SPT-EVA 0kay.

265 12 09 00 PLT I can see the back side of this sail sample.

CDR-EVA Ye s.

CDR-EVA Have at it, Big 0.

265 12 0908 SPT-EVA All locked up?

PLT 0kay, re - -

265 12 09 ll CDR-EVA Would I send you anything that wasn't locked?

PLT - - tract the boom.

SPT-EVA Just doublechecking.

CDR-EVA I'm not - I like you to check. You can't check

enough for me.

PLT AI, you Just got to stay there and cool it for a
while.

265 12 09 23 CDR-EVA Aw heck! You mean I Just got to look around?

PLT Yes.
284b,

SPT-EVA Now's your time too. Boy! Get a good look in the
daylight and everything.

CDR-EVA We haven't - what have we been out, 55 minutes?

265 12 09 32 PLT I'd say that you've been out about 51, 81most 52
minutes.

CDR-EVA Well, we can stay out 4, so that only leaves us

B hours and 9 minutes to go.

PLT Plenty time to look around.

CDR-EVA It's not a bad place.

PLT Don't you feel like you're really driving a monster,

as opposed to being inside? Kind of along for the
ride?

265 12 09 54 CDR-EVA Not right yet. But I think I will when I get up
there. Here you're still not - you're kind of
going backwards.

PLT I felt t.h-t way when I was standing there where the
sail was put up.

CDR-EVA O. decided to use his umbilical and teners - I

mean his tethers.

PLT Oh, yes.

SPT-EVA Now where would you like this thing tethered when
I take it off, Jack?

PLT Well, how about trying the F-7 handrail?

SPT-EVA A]] right, how about the F-6 handrail?

PLT 0., you're the unseen commander of S0149 [sic] at

the moment, and if you don't want to do it my way,
I defer to your better Judgment.

SPT-EVA Since I can't see the F-7 right at the moment, and
I did think that you told me F-6 earlier in the
day-

PLT No, I 'd never say that when I meant F-7.

r_

2845

SPT-EVA Right. I got to find F-7 then, if you're all

that serious. Where would F-7 be?

265 12 l0 55 CDR-EVA Maybe across from you there, 0. Like where the
other trees are stowed.

PLT It might be the handle there below the trees.

SPT-EVA F-7 is the - It's the center workstation tree.

PLT Known as the tree handle.

CDR-EVA Hello, Jack.

265 12 ll 19 PLT I - I see you out there in the shining Sun. It's
Just barely all I can do to make yOU out. You look
good out there. About time you got there.

265 12 ll 29 CDR-EVA Yes, it is. O's going to have to give me a little

more slack on the umbilical - -

_ SPT-EVA Oh, yes. You Just wait and I'll do that.

PLT Going to be rubbing that grommet off.

265 12 ll 41 CDR-EVA Maybe that's what got that grommet before.

PLT_ .... No, it's too far out there, A1. I was thinking
of that, but it's too far out of the way.

CDR-EVA That's the only one that's that way that I can
see. Incidentally, I looked a while ago.

265 12 ll 58 PLT Can you see the aft end of the sail?

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT Does it look like it's straight?

CDR-EVA Pretty near. Just a mild - mild - Just a - Let

me describe this thing to you, Jack.

PLT Well, it's a trapezoid as opposite to a rectangle

though, isn't it?
265 12 12 l_ CDR-EVA It's becoming pretty much of a rectangle. Now
let me tell you_ it's - it's centered on the work-
shoprealnice.
2846

PLT Yes.

265 12 12 22 CDR-EVA But as I look aft, the end nearest me, would be
my right hand, is out. And then the opposite
corner which is back towards the tail, it's out.
In other words, if you're standing inside, the -
the parasol is rotated about l0 to 15 degrees
clockwise. Out here it looks like it's rotated
counterclockwise.

265 12 12 47 PLT Yes. Now the way you describe the aft end of the
sail there, that's the way it was when - -

265 12 12 51 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear through

Carnarvon for 9 minutes.

265 12 12 55 CDR-EVA Everything's going smoothly. We just put in the

149. O's putting in the stowage plate.

SPT-EVA It 's complete.

CDR-EVA And he's going to send out a couple of cans which

we're going to go mount and do 82A and B. _--

PLT Okay, Owen, remove the VS tree from receptacle - -

265 12 13 09 CC Okay.

PLT - - and attach it to the boom, shoe toward the

airlock.

265 12 13 14 SPT-EVA Okay, it's in work.

CDR-EVA And I now can see that cable that the SL-2 crew
hooked up. It was close aboard enough to be hinge-
lined and couldn't be seen from the center work-
station, but it's seen quite easily out here at
that transfer workstation.

265 12 13 31 CC Okay, good. And you don't see any entanglement

with any important part of the structure? Do you?

265 12 13 37 CDR-EVA No, I don't. And I was Just looking at the friendly
little twin-poled sunshade, and it looks Just
like when Jack put it out. The accordion has come
out pretty much. It' s still accordionlike, but
not enough so it does not shield the - the work-
shop. I can look and see the Sun is impinging on
 28_7

the le1_ side of the workshop and the right side,

but - No, it looks like it's so close to the
maximum diameter, you probably don't know it inside.
The place that's in the Sun - Let me tell you the
place that's in the Sun. One site is the - is
that air duct that gave way first that caused the
- the meteoroid shield to give. That's in the
Sun. That's one limit. On the other side, in the
Sun is the - Just about a foot earlier than when
you come to the area where the other SAS beam used
to be. If the other SAS beam were folded now, it
would be in the Sun.

265 12 l_ _ CC Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay. I'm ready to extend these empty cans to you

Ja - AI.

CDR-EVA Well, fire away, babe.

SPT-EVA All right. Here we go. SUN END, EXTEND. Now

would you keep an eye on the clearance here? It's
F_ a littletight with this big box.

CDR-EVA I'll do it.

265 12 14 57 SPT-EVA Okay, here it comes.

265 12 15 03 CDR-EVA Nice place out here, Story.

SPT-EVA Just barely clipped the ...

265 12 15 09 CC Yes, sir, you're making me Jealous. Can you verify

that that line going to the SAS beam is intact?

265 12 15 16 CDR-EVA It's intact and Just exactly like it was. It Just
could not be seen from the center workstation.
I thought it was further away from the hinge line.
It looks good and, in fact, it looks like it did
when we've looked at it out the window. I've also
looked at the little grommets on the twin poles.
The only one that's loose, I thing, is the one we
talked about, and it's conceivable that it got
bumped by the umbilical. Stop!

CDR-EVA We're going to have to move it a little bit more

0wen, but - -
2848

SPT-EVA Out or in?

CDR-EVA Out.

PLT Okay, 0. - or A1, get that.

CDR-EVA A little further -

PLT Put it in the receptacle.

CDR-EVA Stop.

265 12 15 50 PLT Okay.

CDR-EVA Consider it done, although I haven't done it yet.

265 12 15 56 CDR-EVA Take it away, 0.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA I'll tell you one thing, Story. Handling these

big boxes is sure easier here than the water tank
if you Just use your wrist action, and they all
move around like you want them to, instead of
balancing here and there.

265 12 16 l_ PLT I notice the boom's got some little -

CC Yes, sir.

PLT Excuse me.

265 12 16 19 CDR-EVA Okay, I've done that and it's stowed happily.

PLT Okay, Owen's going to get the boom in. I notice

the boom from where I see it throught the window
has got some marks perpendicular to the long axis.
They look like to be in regular places, every 4
to 6 inches and closer in as the boom gets closer
to being retracted. They are about an inch long.

CDR-EVA Okay.

265 12 16 38 PLT 0 - okay, Owen's got that retracted. Unclamp his

umbilical and provide slack for the VS transfer,
0.

SPT-EVAOkay,go ahead. _---

 2849

PLT And clamp it approximately 35 feet, as old A1 goes

up and over the top.

265 12 16 53 CDR-EVA Okay. I think I'll go up for a trip.

SPT-EVA Another thing that's different, Story, I remember

from the last time - that's different from the
water tank. When you come back in, you don't need
to worry about focusing your eyes. That 4/3 cor-
rection for the water tank on index of refraction
is missing out here. You can see right off.

CDR-EVA Where 'd the Earth go?

SPT-EVA Okay, we're Just coming into night.

265 12 17 24 PLT Okay, the DAC is not working. Is that right, 0. -

A1 - or 0.?

265 12 17 27 SPT-EVA That's correct. It's - -

CDR-EVA Gollee! What a place to visit. Whoo-hool

PLT Yes, sir.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA I look down and see these experiments. They

really are looking out at the Sun. I wend - -

SPT-EVA You - -

CDR-EVA - - ered about that.

265 12 17 39 SPT-EVA - - you might want to take the gold visor up.

CDR-EVA A]] right, let's do that.

CDR-EVA Got - everything's turning sort of a reddish pink

now as the Sun goes down.

265 12 17 50 SPT-EVA And some people have been interested in the looks
of the horizon, the aurora shading from the orange
into white - at least three white bands above the
first white band as the Sun goes down, several
white bands. Then it goes into blue and then black.
_ I see two - two distinctbands to the south and
 2850

two or three bands to the north. And they extend

about 15 degrees either side of the Sun and then
those white bands disappear.

265 12 18 25 CDR-EVA Can I do anything for you, Jack, as long as I'm

here?

PLT Okay, give me a _ status check.

CDR-EVA A]] lights are out and my suit press is 3.65.

PLT Okay. Verify that the DAC isn't working there

in the dark, 0.

SPT-EVA Okay, Just a minute. Soon as I clamp his umbili-

cal I'll recheck that.

PLT Okay, now Al's going to ask me to rotate this

beauty around.

265 12 18 52 CDR-EVA I tell you what. Right where - You know these
little mounts that you put toes in on - you know -
the footrestraints? _

265 12 19 00 PLT Yes.

CDR-EVA They cast a perfect shadow on the Sun shield here.

And so where the shadow is is still white, and
all the rest is this brownish pink.

PLT Yes. That 's - -

CDR-EVA It's in perfect focus.

PLT Yes - -

CDR-EVA Just - -

PLT - - and I'll bet all over.

PLT Watch when you go into the hatch where that little
bird cage is over the EVA light; you'll see the
same thing. The bird cage is very well outlined.

CDR-EVA And you can see the outline of all these han -
of these handrails.

265 12 19 28 PLT Okay, I'm going to rotate the canister now, A1.
_ 2851

CDR-EVA I think you should.

PLT To 6600. Positive.

265 12 19 39 PLT Going to do quite a lot of rolling here.

CDR-EVA 0kay.

PLT Okay.

265 12 19 43 CDR-EVA Moving out pretty fast. Good lightlng up here.

See stars --

PLT Okay, retrieve your brush there. It may be too

dark to do this, A1. We may have to wait.

265 12 20 00 CDR-EVA I hope so.

PLT Bad break.

CDR-EVA Well, it's obvious we've got to wait because you've

_ got to cheek it againstthe Sun.

265 12 20 08 PLT It's only 27 minutes.

CDR-EVA We may want to do this last and do these others

first.

CDR-EVA I'll look in there and dust it off. But we'll

have to wait to check it.

SPT-EVA Sure you can see well enough, huh?

CDR-EVA No, I don't think I can.

SPT-EVA Okay, I sure wouldn't try it unless you Just

really got good visibility.

PLT Gets mighty dark out there. Is the EVA light on

the Sun end on?

265 12 20 36 CDR-EVA Yes, but it doesn't look down at any of these holes
as the problem.

CDR-EVA I see an instrument that's looking right now.

265 ]2 20 45 CC A1, we would like you to leave the S052 alone

until you get into daylight.
2852

CDR-EVA We concur with that. Will do. I think I can see

in there now. But you can't see any - It's so
dark in there you cannot see what's going on really.

265 12 21 00 CDR-EVA I think we ought to go - Why don't you rotate this

back, Jack, to 82A and B and I'll make that ex-
change. And then when the Sun comes up, we'll be
in good shape.

PLT Okay. It's at precisely 6600 now. Let me go

back and find out what that n11mber is.

265 12 21 16 CDR-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA Well, we've only got 3 hours to go, Story; I hope

we can hack it.

265 12 21 27 CC Okay.

PLT Ask Story to give me a - Story, could you give me

a canister roll for S082? A1 rolled it down there
from the VC and I want to go back there now. We' re
going to transfer the film before we do the brushing.

265 12 21 45 CC Okay, we'll get that for you. And we are about
30 seconds from LOS here and about 2 minutes to
Honeysuckle.

265 12 21 52 CDR-EVA It's rotating. And I'll tell you when you get
there, Jack.

PLT Yes, it's going to be right - right around

minus 1700 somewhere - -

CC Jack, that's a minus 4200 for 82A and B.

PLT Yes. Right. Is that what that was?

SPT-EVA Okay, Story, 42. Minus 4200.

CDR-EVA I can look down in the mirror and see that the -
see that thing that's bothering them. It's way
back there.

SPT-EVA ...

265 12 22 13 SPT-EVA Oh oh, is it not on the first disk?

'_-'_ 2853

CDR-EVA It looked to me like there was something way back

there on the mirror.

SPT-EVA Oh, oh. No, that's - that wouldn't do it, A1.

It's got to be something out on the - -

CDR-EVA Okay, we'll see.

SPT-EVA - - disk near the focus.

CDR-EVA It looks to me like a washer.

PLT Tell me when it says to stop, and I'll verify it

with the - -

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT - - counter here.

•265 12 22 41 CDR-EVA We got to watch H-alpha door - 2 door move a couple

of times too, Jack. Fortunately it's about the
same place.

PLT We can do that. I bet it's closed.

CDR-EVA Not - that's not close for me. You need to keep
coming.

PLT We'll keep coming, okay? That's 4200. We're going

on past that then. Let me know. I'm waiting for
you to call.

265 12 23 09 PLT Almost to the stop.

CDR-EVA How about right there?

PLT How about right there? You like it?

CDR-EVA Well, if we could go even further, it'd be better.

And then it'd be like the training. But I can
hack it there.

PLT Well, I can go - -

CDR-EVA That's it right there.

_ PLT Okay.
2854

265 12 23 24 CDR-EVA When you read me the procedures, I'll do it.

PLT At] right. Let me whistle on over here and find

them. Here's what I want you to do. Unlock and
open the S082A container door.

CDR-EVA Container door. Okay. I think I know what that

is.

PLT Now I also want you to open the S082A ATM door.
Push the button and rotate and rotate the handles,
so that it unlocks.

265 12 23 49 CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT Move the locking handle to release the magazine.

265 12 23 52 CC Skylab, we're back with you through Honeysuckle

for 4 minutes and an update for the canister roll.
We think minus 6700 would be a better number,
Jack.

PLT Okay, Story, thank you. We found a good number

that was a little bit more than that 42. Thank
you.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT And you have to move the locking handle to release

the magazine.

265 12 2h 14 CDR-EVA I've done it. I've got the magazine in my hand.

PLT Partially remove and fold the handle by depressing

the release button and complete the removal.

265 12 24 22 CDR-EVA It's complete.

PLT Align container and magazine arrows and insert

the magazine in the container.

265 12 24 28 CDR-EVA In the container.

PLT Verify the handle on the magazine is below the

container door seat.

26512 2h 30 CDR-EVAItis. _
 2855

PLT Close and lock the S082A container door.

265 12 24 34 CDR-EVA Complete.

PLT Make sure the little pin goes in the hole there.

CDR-EVA I'll check it.

PLT Front end comes out.

265 12 24 38 CDR-EVA Pin in hole; everything is Just right.

PLT Okay. Unlock and open S082B container door. And -

265 12 24 48 CDR-EVA It's open.

265 12 24 49 PLT Okay. Move S082 ATM locking handle down.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT Close and lock the 82A ATM door.

265 12 2h 58 CDR-EVA Closed.

PLT Lock.

265 12 25 00 CDR-EVA It's locked.

PLT Open S082A - B ATM door. Push button and rotate

handle to unlock.

CDR-EVA I'll do that.

PLT And you then move the locking handle to the left
to release the magazine.

PLT 0wen, tug on that door a little.

265 12 25 19 CDR-EVA That door needs a little muscle'.

PLT Yes. It does.

265 12 25 24 CC 0wen, to verify our telemetry, could you give us

an EMU status check, please?

SPT-EVA Okay. I'm sitting on 3.70 and no lights.

CC Ok
ay.
2856

CDR-EVA Not having much luck with that door at the moment.
I think I'll tske a break. Boy, it's shaking the
canister up here.

PLT I know it. That door is a little stiff.

SPT-EVA Is that the 82B - -

CDR-EVA 82B door.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

265 12 25 5h CDR-EVA I'll Just slip out of my foot restraint a little

bit. I think I can get in a better position.

PLT Maybe the little locking handle there is - or the

push button is - -

265 12 26 03 CC And, A1, while you're taking a break, we don't

think you'll get to D024 before we get stateside,
but in case you do, we'd like you to observe the
coloration on both sides of the sample trays when _-_
you pull them out. And also, the color of the
aluminum around the structure where the trays are
attached.

CDR-EVA Okay, I'll try to do that, Story.

265 12 26 31 CDR-EVA The door doesn't want to come open.

265 12 26 36 CDR-EVA I got it.

PLT That a boy! Just need to think the right - -

265 12 26 40 CC And, Skylab, we're a minute from LOS here. See

you over Texas in about 30 minutes at 12:55. We'll
be dumping the data voice recorders there. And
your momentum is building up. We're estimating
you might use a little TACS around 13:00. That's
about 35 minutes from now. Probably not until
stateside. We Just wanted to tell you there is a
possibility.

265 12 27 00 SPT-EVA Say, Story. What's our present location?

CDR-EVA Thank you, Story.

 2857

SPT-EVA Are we - Are we down near the sourthern extreme

of the orbit?

CC That's affirmative. You're right about minus 50

at this time.

265 12 27 12 SPT-EVA We got a very nice aurora Just off to the left.
There's several curtains and sweeping green arcs.
They extend over about 90 degrees of the horizon.
All well below us.

CDR-EVA Hopefully.

SPT-EVA And - -

CC Okay. Thank you.

265 12 27 29 SPT-EVA - - and you can see some of the rays extending up
vertically above the lower altitude aurora.

265 12 27 53 CDR-EVA 82B is in the can, as we say.

265 12 27 55 PLT All right. And a good place for it.

SPT-EVA Son of a gun! That aurora is really something!

265 12 28 02 CDR-EVA Where is it, 0.? I've got to give it a checkout.

SPT-EVA Yes. It's behind you. No, it ought to be right

in front of you now when you lean back.

CDR-EVA How about if I do something like this?

SPT-EVA If you - If you lean back it'll be right in front

of you. See that - those green rays, looks like - -

265 12 28 18 CDR-EVA I'll be darned.

SPT-EVA - - white clouds up there - -

CDR-EVA I've wanted - I always wanted to see an aurora

standing upside down on the Sun end.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT All right. Enough of that skylarking.

SPT-EVA It isn't a skylarkingnow. We got to make a -

we're required to make - -
2858

CDR-EVA Look ! We got aurora!

265 12 28 36 SPT-EVA - - reports on unusual visible phenomenon.

CDR-EVA I'm the first man in history to see an a - a

southern aurora standing on his head on top of the
Sun end of the SkYlab.

PLT That's another record. It'll go with the bike-riding

record.

CDR-EVA Hey, there's the Southern Cross. Uncredible [sic]!

265 12 29 00 CDR-EVA Okay. I think I'll close the door.

PLT (Yawning) All right.

PLT Close and lock the 82B container door.

265 12 29 09 CDR-EVA Consider it done.

PLT Okay, move the S092 ATM locking handle right and
lock - to lock position. Close and lock the
82B ATM door.

265 12 29 19 CDR-EVA It's closed and locked.

PLT Reposition clear of aperture doors, and advise me

ready for door closure.

265 12 29 26 CDR-EVA Ready for door closure.

PLT So what? Okay, then I do this. Panel 130: XUV

SPECT, POWER DOOR switch OFF, ta]_kback remains
white and that's where it was ; XUV SLIT, OFF,
talkback remains white.

CDR-EVA How's that for Jazz. Wish I had a picture of that

last one.

265 12 29 52 CDR-EVA There goes the doors. A is coming closed.

PLT Okay.

265 12 29 56 CDR-EVA A's CLOSED. Nice Job.

PLT Okay. Here goes B.

CDR-EVA Okay.
_ 2859

265 12 30 01 CDR-EVA B's coming closed. Boy, they move a long way.

PLT When you are done with that, I'll give you another
one.

CDR-EVA I wonder why we don't take off that B ramp?

PLT Okay, Xt£_ M0N DOOR's coming CLOSED.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT Okay. There it goes. Talkback remains white.

PLT Verify all three doors are closed, would you,

please?

265 12 30 31 CDR-EVA They are closed tightly.

PLT Egrees the VS foot restraints. So we got to do

that other Job. So now we're going to stand around
for 17 more - -

_ CDR-EVA No, they want us to look at H-alpha 2 doors. So

open and close it a couple of times, and I'll
observe it.

PLT H_alpha 2, huh?

CDR-EVA Yes, sir.

265 12 30 h7 PLT OPEN.

CDR-EVA Very smooth.

265 12 30 58 CDR-EVA Well, it doesn't look like it goes all the way.
Let me touch in a minute.

SPT-EVA It didn't open A31 the way, huh?

PLT Closing - OPEN, yes.

CDR-EVA Close it there, Jack.

265 12 31 08 PLT Want me to close it?

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Don't know how far all the way is, for sure.
2860

PLT Does it have a ramp on it? There's a - Something

comes up and engages the ramp. There's a little
tab --

CDR-EVA Open it again and let me get a straight shot at

it.

PLT Okay. There is a little tab that should engage

the ramp when it is closed - -

265 12 31 28 CDR-EVA Now that's - It's - Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

PLT - - if it has a ramp on it. Maybe it doesn't have

one.

265 12 31 3h CDR-EVA It doesn't close - Did it go CLOSE then?

265 12 31 37 PLT I got a talkback barber pole.

CDR-EVA Try it again; I bet you won't.

PLT Youwantme to go - i__

CDR-EVA Go OPEN, let me look at it, and then - -

PLT Okay.

CDR-EVA - - go CLOSED.

PLT OPEN.

265 12 31 54 PLT MARK. Gray.

CDR-EVA Okay, now let me look - Now hold it. Just hold
right there.

265 12 32 03 CDR-EVA Okay, that's good. Now go CLOSED.

PLT All right.

265 12 32 07 CDR-EVA MARK. I can't say that the little bugger isn't
going all the way CLOSED.

SPT-EVA Hum! Well, that's of course what the flag says -

shows.

265 12 32 16 CDR-EVA Now it's - it lacks. Now - now what you got for -
for a flag?
 2861

265 12 32 20 PLT I got a barber pole.

CDR-EVA You got a barber pole, huh?

PLT Yes.

CDR-EVA Hum! Well, it's not going against that ramp. It

lacks about a quarter of an inch of hitting the
ramp.

PLT Does - It doesn't even ride up on the ramp. Is

that what you're saying?

265 12 32 35 CDR-EVA No. It's up on the ramp, but it doesn't go all

the way. You know normally - -

PLT Well - -

CDR-EVA - - it goes over until it hits the stop.

PLT Well, I'm not sure if it does or not. Is it --

_--- CDR-EVA No, it doesn't; you're right - -

PLT - - always like that?

CDR-EVA I 'm wrong. I 'm wrdng.

PLT Okay.

CDR-EVA Because I look at the others here, and none of

them hit the stops either. So it - it looks like
it's working correctly.

265 12 32 52 PLT Rides up on the ramp and quits, huh?

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT Okay.

SPT-EVA Well, we somehow or other are unable to reproduce

the problem that we had yesterday when we got
this white flag instead of barber pole.

PLT Yes.

SPT-EVA That's what we really need to do. I don't know

_ whether it takes an AUTO signal from the computer
to - to reproduce it or not.
2862

265 12 33 12 CDR-EVA There's the Earth. There's the stars.

PLT Total momentum is 92 percent.

265 12 33 47 PLT Want ,to get some pictures before you come in, AI.

CDR-EVA 0kay.

PLT And, 0., I'd like to get some of you, too.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'll-

PLT Got to ride up over the edge of the S-IVB.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA Look at that aurora!

PLT Remember when I was going out there the other

day?

CDR-EVA That's a great aurora, 0.

265 12 34 01 SPT-EVA Okay, which one are you looking at now?

CDR-EVA The one over here where I'm pointing.

SPT-EVA I can't -Well, I can't see it. Is it off --

CDR-EVA It's over there towards the south.

265 12 34 12 PLT Got you.

265 12 34 13 CDR-EVA It's right at Scorpio. Scorpio's pointing right

at it.

SPT-EVA It's where I can see it, huh?

CDR-EVA Well, y_s, I guess.

SPT-EVA Okay, let me look over the edge of this thing. I

don't see any aurora right now.

CDR-EVA I see a bunch° Well, --

265 12 34 31 PLT One hour and 16 minutes.

CDR-EVA - - maybe it's passed out of your view.

 2863

SPT-EVA Yes, I think that it has. It's over behind the

ATM. It's off to your right, I expect, isn't it?
When you - -

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Yes, it's out of my view.

265 12 34 45 CDR-EVA Yes. You can see through it, and you can see stars
through it.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA Glad we got this slow time here.

PLT Oh, yes. The only way to go; get all you can.

265 12 B4 59 PLT Let me go - How you feel with air coolant? Pretty
good?

265 12 35 02 CDR-EVA Sure; haven't sweated a bit. My hands have been

hot all the time, but other than that, it's been
gre at.

SPT-EVA Yes. Exactly the same.

CDR-EVA Well, you don't work hard up here. You Just kind
of float around.

PLT Yes.

265 12 B5 19 CDR-EVA See the night airglow pretty nice.

CDR-EVA There's some more aurora. There's kind of double

aurora. Yes, you missed a great pic. Boy, can
you see the curvature of the Earth! When I look
down at the Earth, I don't see anything going
on down there. I don't see any lights or anything.
Do you?

265 12 35 40 SPT-EVA No. Must be overcast.

CDR-EVA That, or we're over the ocean, I guess.

SPT-EVA Yes, but it would - -

CDR-EVA Should be over Texas now.

SPT-EVA - - still be storms if it were - -

2864

CDR-EVA H-,,. Or states or lights. Maybe it was Central

America's lights. I guess we're Just not going
to pass over anything.

SPT-EVA Well, we Just passed - Let's see; where was it?

I guess Carnarvon or Honeysuckle; so ought to be
coming up across South America - South Pacific.

265 12 36 12 CDR-EVA Almost makes you want to fly 509, doesn't it,
Jack ?

PLT Yes. Tell you what; you can hurry up and get in
here and--

CDR-EVA We'll get them to lay it on the sched.

265 12 B6 2_ SPT-EVA Can you see the aurora from in there, Jack?

PLT No, I didn't, A1 - O. All I could - I've got too

much light in here, I guess. I looke d for it. All
I could see was a very faint glow.

CDR-EVA How much more nighttime, Jack?

265 12 B6 38 PLT Not much. How's that for an answer?

CDR-EVA Oh, it's - -

PLT Let me look here.

CDR-EVA - - classic.

PLT Get the music box - -

CDR-EVA Ten minutes?

PLT More than that.

SPT-EVA You can tell from where the ATM is pointed where
the Sun is. And the Sun's still quite a ways
below the horizon.

265 12 36 53 PLT Don't you think it's about l0 minutes below the
horizon?

CDR-EVA At least.

SPT-EVA How about 9 minutes?

 2865

PLT I see two feet emerging from the great beyond.

SPT-EVA Quitting, are you?

CDR-EVA I thought I would come over here and catch the

view here at night for a minute.

SPT-EVA Too much light back here. I expect your view up

there is better than any.

CDR-EVA Well, at least we ... in the eye. I'll tell you

that.

PLT (Laughter) Well, but not much danger of getting

one out there.

265 12 37 37 CDR-EVA Boy, look at the stars!

PLT And the impression I got from the sail when I put
it up, A1, was that it was - -

SPT-EVA ... on down.

PLT - - ... at the top and narrower at the bottom;

so it's kind of like a trapezoid.

CDR-EVA Not that way any longer. It's almost a nice

re ct angle.

PLT Good. 0., you've seen it also a couple times.

Why don't you - you've seen it before - -

265 12 38 09 SPT-EVA Yes. I sort of thought it was rectangular but

slightly skewed, with respect to the original
sail. It was - -

CDR-EVA Near you.

SPT-EVA And it was the original sail, rea]ly, that was

slightly skewed. And then yours was, I thought -
seem to recall, more rectangular.

265 12 38 31 CDR-EVA Looking right down at the South Pole.

265 12 40 _ CDR-EVA The view here is even better than on the Moon.

SPT-EVA Makes you want to look at the lunar terrain, I

_, guess.
2866

CDR-EVA You don't see the stars. The planet's not as big.
You don't have the - the atmosphere.

SPT-EVA I would guess that it might be more interesting

looking down at the _editerranean than it would be
the lunar terrain.

265 12 41 07 CDR-EVA I think you're guessing right.

PLT I don't know. I think it would be nice to see it

once. Once !

CDR-EVA You'll get your chance, Jack. You' re a young man.

Can go for 60 days.

265 12 hl 41 PLT That'll be the day.

CDR-EVA Things happen.

265 12 42 25 PLT A1, why don't you move to your right a little bit.
You're going to get that Sun coming up over your
'_bean."

CDR-EVA Okay. That'd be a good spot, wouldn't it?

PLT You got to move to your right more, about 2 feet.

Right in that area is fine. A minute. Make a
guess at the settings.

265 12 42 59 CDR-EVA What a way to watch the Sun come up!

PLT Yes, isn't it, though? Sure beats getting out

of bed early in the morning. Move to your right
a little more. There you go.

CDR-EVA Got the exposure right, this could be a good pic.

PLT Yes. I don't know. It's kind of a guess. 60

on the film; 250 at f/16 - f/ll. Catch you at
first light.

265 12 43 59 PLT We're ready, if it'll ever come up. Sure is a

pretty glow over there, isn't it? I can't see
you though, AI. You're going to have to get up
Maybe you can't see the sunrise from that position.
Lighter.

265 12 4_ 28 SPT-EVA See, that first white band in the blue is Just now
beginning to appear.
 2867

265 12 h4 51 PLT Can see the Sun's on the horizon.

265 12 h5 16 SPT-EVA Well, there's about three white bands between the
blue-white transition between the yellow and
the gray.

PLT Uh-huh. Sure is pretty.

SPT-EVA And they're only within about l0 degrees of where

the Sun comes up.

CDR-EVA Like Helen Mary said.

PLT What'd she ss_v?

CDR-EVA The other night when she was up bringing chow.

PLT Oh, yes.

265 12 h5 59 SPT-EVA Gold visor.

CDR-EVA Thank you, O.

265 12 h6 21 PLT Looks like a fire on the edge of the Earth. Looks
like the little rings kids draw around the Sun
when they draw a picture of the Sun when they're
little.

265 12 46 33 SPT-EVA Yes, you're right.

CDR-EVA Little flames, huh?

PLT Yes. Here it comes.

265 12 h6 41 CDR-EVA Uh-huh. There it is.

SPT-EVA Look at it peeking along on several of them.

CDR-EVA Yes. Those clouds. Yes. It 's moving along - -

SPT-EVA It is because of the way we're orbiting.

265 12 h6 56 PLT Okay, I hope they came out.

SPT-EVA We have almost no opportunity to see that from

inside the spacecraft.

PLT I can see it this time, 0.

 2868

SPT-EVA Yes, you - Oh, you could?

PLT Yes. It all depends how the dump is going.

SPT-EVA You aren't dumping; so how could you see it?

PLT Well, usually we are. That's why we can't.

SPT-EVA I see.

265 12 47 26 CDR-EVA Okay, - -

SPT-EVA Oh, yes; that's right.

CDR-EVA - - we got to get 52 in position.

PLT Okay.

265 12 47 41 PLT Let me get do_ here with a]] these cables and
hoses and straps.

CDR-EVA Move H-alpha 2 once more before you move this, and
I'll - -

PLT Okay.

CDR-EVA - - look and see if I see any scrape marks.

PLT Okay, it's going OPEN.

265 12 47 53 PLT MARK.

CDR-EVA Yes, there are scrape marks on it.

CDR-EVA Okay, close it. Operate 82B. Let me see if it's

got scrape marks on it. Maybe they all do.

PLT Okay]

265 12 h8 15 PLT MARK.

CDR-EVA Okay, - -

PLT You want - -

CDR-EVA - - whenever you - Whenever it gets open, go ahead

and close it. No scrapemarks there. _
 2869

PLT Okay, I'll close H-alpha now.

CDR-EVA Okay.

265 12 h8 25 PLT MARK. CLOSING.

CDR-EVA Open 82B when you can, and I'll see if it's got
scrape marks.

PLT Ain't it open?

CDR-EVA Haven't seen one. Yes. B-2 is with the UV MON.

PLT Okay, which one do you want open?

CDR-EVA A and then the UV MON. I'll Just look to see - -

265 12 h8 h2 PLT Okay, there's 82A coming OPEN. They don't have
them on the topside; they could have them on the
underside.

_-_ CDE-EVA True. Okay, that's okay there because it's been
taken off.

PLT Okay, XUV MON.

CDR-EVA Okay.

265 12 48 55 PLT MARK.

CDR-EVA It's got little scrape marks on it. Okay, you

can close them all whenever you feel the urge.

PLT Okay, we'll close these first.

265 12 h9 04 CDR-EVA It's coming CLOSED.

PLT Okay, Just watch it.

CDR-EV_ I'm watching it.

PLT Then I'll close A, and you can watch it. Ready?

CDR-EVA You bet.

PLT Okay. CLOSE A. And I'll CLOSE XUVMON.

 287o

265 12 49 25 PLT All right. There she goes. Now we're going to
roll, if you don't mind. Y'all ready for a roll?

CDR-EVA You bet.

PLT Okay, we're going to go clockwise the long way.

265 12 49 41 PLT Then change the brush from the VS tree and tether
it.

265 12 49 45 CDR-EVA I've got it.

PLT Inspect the S052 D-1 disk for contamination when

the time comes; opposite the pylon.

265 12 49 53 CDR-EVA It is.

PLT Okay. Caution: Now the disk edge is very sharp.

Do not attempt to brush D-2 or D-3.

CDR-EVA All right.

PLT Brush the disk with center-to-outside strokes.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT Place the brush on the VS tree. Okay?

265 12 50 07 CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT And let me know when you're done.

CDR-EVA All right.

265 12 50 13 PLT Now, 0., while he's doing that, you can kind of
ease out and float up there so your fanny's - -

SPT-EVA All right.

PLT - - about on the edge of the workshop.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA I can see the pylon. Stop.

PLT That ain't as far as I'm supposed to roll it, but

I'll stop wherever you like it best.
j-
 2871

265 12 50 32 CDR-EVA Stop aud let me look at this. Okay, move it a

little further.

PLT All right. There she goes.

265 12 50 58 SPT-EVA How's this, Jack?

PLT Just a minute; I'm still rolling here, Owen.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'll - -

PLT Let's get A1 started.

SPT-EVA No hurry.

PLT Okay, that was too far, according to my little

number here.

CDR-EVA I would agree with you.

PLT Okay, let's go back a little.

CDR-EVA Okay. Stop right there.

265 12 51 19 PLT Okay. Now keep your hands off it for a minute,
will you, please? I'm going to repoint it Just
a little bit.

CDR-EVA Got off.

PLT Okay, go ahead. I'll change it some more if you

like.

CDR-EVA Yes. Bring it back towards me some more, back - -

PLT The way it was coming?

CDR-EVA Yes.

265 12 51 41 PLT Okay.

265 12 51 54 PLT That's where it's supposed to be, it says.

CDR-EVA Well, it looks to me like there's the smallest

possible - It looks like a little - I believe that's
it. What it looks like is a - Just a whisker.

_ SPT-EVA Could it be a little fleck of that white paint?

2872

CDR-EVA No, it looks like a - a little metallic whisker.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA It'd be like a whisker off your chin, That's all

I see there.

265 12 52 20 PLT Yes. Say, the needles are doing a funny thing.
The crosspointers are moving.

CDR-EVA Yes, because I'm casting shadows - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT Yes; okay. That's why it is. Thank you.

PLT Now, 0wen, let me go up here and see if I can't

get you in the field of view.

SPT-EVA Just a minute, I'll be right back where I was. I

tossed myself out.

265 12 52 45 CDR-EVA Now there's Just little dusty things down in there.
One of them Just landed up there is what's occurred.

PLT Okay, 0., you can get under that - the - the one
your right hand was on; go under that.

SPT-EVA You want me further down, huh?

PLT I want your back to the - to the circ,1_gerence of

the workshop. And - Yes, anywhere in there.

265 12 53 09 CDR-EVA Get out of your way to take a checkup look at it,
Jack.

PLT Got you. Oh, Just a minute. Let me make sure we

get the Big 0. here.

265 12 53 26 CDR-EVA By the way, 0., the occulting disk is about

2 inches in diameter.

SPT-EVA Is that all?

CDE-EVA Two to 3 - -

PLT Get out of the way, 0. Go right. 0kay, 0. He's

here - Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Make sure
 2873

I got a good focus. That's about right. Have the

cam ready for you.

SPT-EVA Okay.

265 12 5h 04 PLT Got you. You want to stay there and drift around
and come back in a minute and take some more - -

SPT-EVA Well, let me get - -

PLT - - from old EVA there? It's a neat place to look

fr_n. You can see all over.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's true.

PLT Okay. Now, A1, what would you like me to dot

CDR-EVA Go through the 52 procedure that's in there to

see if it cleaned it.

PLT All right.

f-_ CDR-EVA If it isn't, I'll try to think of something else.

PLT Okay. Roll is inhibited and retrieve the brush

and all that stuff. Now lean back and inform me.
Okay, I go DAS. CTX_R. 40055; check that.
ENTER, flash, CLEAR. Okay. Now enable primary
door mode. That's what I did. DAS POWER switch,
OFF; FSS DOOR switch, OPEN; talkback open and on.
That's what it is, toward EXPERIMENT POINTING.
Okay, I got that. Point to Sun center.

265 12 55 16 CDR-EVA S055's coming OPEN.

265 12 55 24 CDR-EVA 55 is OPEN.

265 12 55 25 SPT-EVA It may have been there. It may - in EXPERIMENT

POINTING. That may have been the - -

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA - - computer signal.

265 12 55 30 PLT Okay, I've got to point to within Sun center there
somewhere. Minus 20. Okay. And down a little
more.
 287 b,

PLT Okay. Now I'm going to WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH,

MAIN POWER switch to STANDBY and then ON.

265 12 55 57 PLT MARK.

265 12 56 03 CDR-EVA 52 Just came CLOSE.

PLT Okay. I've got to open it again, and I'm going

to OPEN it, like I had a signal in there of some
sort. Okay, now I'm going to center it up. Okay.
WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH POWER switch, ON and ON
MON l, white - WLC. I'll stand here and wait for
it to come on. In the meantime, I'll point it Just
a little bit.

265 12 56 36 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear. We're

AOS stateside 16 minutes.

265 12 56 h2 CDR-EVA Okay, the thing that I saw on the occulting disk
looks to me - If this is it, I don't know. It
looks almost like a - a whisker on your chin that's
been there about a - about a day. And that's all
I can see on there, and I - But I've dusted every-
thing that - that I - Just dusted around in general,
got rid of that little whisker, and we'll Just have
to see what happens, I guess.

PLT I'm waiting for the temp to warm up. I can see
you're casting some shadow out there occasionally.

265 12 57 16 CDR-EVA By the way, on H-alpha 2 door, it seemed to work

smoothly. I did notice that on the top of the
ramp, there were slight scuff marks. Now 82B's
ramps also have slight scuff marks ; so maybe that's
not important. And, of course, I cannot see under
the ramps; so I don't know what's going on there.

PLT I think you might have got it, A1.

265 12 57 39 CDR-EVA But it appeared that - that it - The door operated

smoothly.

PLT Let me close the window here, so that I can get a

good look at this monitor.

CC Okay, is Jack taking a look at the - the S052 image

in the TV?
 2875

CDR-EVA He's working on it right this minute.

PLT I think you got it, A1. There's nothing tnere

anymore where this - where it was.

SPT-EVA Is it nice and uniform all the way around?

PLT It looks like it to me; yes. There's a little

more brightening on one side than the other, but
I think we've had that all along.

SPT-EVA Yes, yes, that's been standard.

265 12 58 16 PLT Where the little piece of stuff was, it's a little
darker on that side than it is on the other side,
but it looks like it graduates slowly from bright-
ening to dimming to brightening again.

CDR-EVA Good; that's all - -

SPT-EVA Are you keying your mike?

PLT No.

SPT-EVA Hey, Story, Jack Just said that it looks uniform

all the way around. Of course, it's a little
brighter over towards one side where the pointing
is - is off to one side, but it's uniform all the
way around. Looks like it's clean.

CC Okay; very good.

PLT Okay, - -

265 12 58 47 CDR-EVA I'ii tell you what, though. When I look down
inside there, Story, I can see a few little parti-
cles kind of floating around down in there, and
they're - they're not the size of paint chips or
anything like that. They're just like, like I
say, a bunch of little whiskers, m_ybe four or
five of them, floating around down in there, and
I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them in Just
a little while land up and do the same thing again,
because there doesn't appear to be any reason they -
they wouldn't.

SPT-EVA Maybe we can wait _oout 5 minutes and see if they

won'tdriftout.
 2876

265 12 59 19 PLT You might as well, because I got to do a thing out

of the Experiments Checklist here.

CDR-EVA We'll keep the door open, and maybe it'll float
out.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

PLT Okay, Story, it looks nice and clean here where the
particle was before. We've got a nice smooth rim
on the occulting disk, and, like Owen said, it's
a - a little bit - Somebody's moving around out
there, I believe.

CDR-EVA That 's me.

PLT Yes. Don't do that.

CDR-EVA Is that bad news?

PLT Yes, it really is.

265 12 59 49 CDR-EVA I'll quit moving around.

PLT Okay, close the door.

CDR-EVA No, you got to leave the door open ... - -

PLT I know; it closed itself.

265 12 59 55 CDR-EVA Boy, I didn't move it much, did I?

PLT Okay, I'm going to open it again now; so stand back.

CDR-EVA Okay, I'll be - I'll be still here.

SPT-EVA Five arc minutes is less than a tenth of a degree.

PLT Okay, Story. Like O. said, on the opposite side

of where the particle was, there's a brightening
there, and there always has been. On the place
where the particle was, why it's a little darker.
But it's not - not due to the particle any more;
it's Just due to pointing.

CC Okay, Jack. And in reference to Al's comments,

we've seen those particles floating around in there
on previous EVAs. -
_ 2877

PLT You' re moving.

265 13 00 39 CDR-EVA I'm not moving much.

PLT Going haywire. Okay. Boy, something's causing

that to happen, because .it Just shut the door again.
I'll tell you, I saw a couple of big round things
like washers go by there that were awful bright.
Okay, it says, "Perform the abbreviated PES/FSS
cal per the first paragraph, ATM Experiments
Checklist, page 2-20."

CDR-EVA You want us to do anything about H-alpha 2? We're

got our _Tench inside, if you want us to remove
the ramp.

265 13 01 19 CC No, sir, leave it the way it is.

CDR-EVA Okeydoke. I guess we're finished out here, Jack.

PLT Well, I've got to do this yet.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT I've got - Okay, in my book, Story, the calibration

that you want is on page 2-19. Am I overlooking
something? Oops, there's the Sun, Story, in my
checklist, the PES/fine-Sun sensor cal is on
page 2-19, and the - Your pad calls for 2-20, unless
I 'm overlooking something. I probably ought to
start on page 2-19 and do the first paragraph.
Is that correct?

265 13 01 59 CC Stand by i.

SPT-EVA A1, you may remember that that -

• PLT I'm getting a lot of streaking on the screen, and

something or other's just - is closing the door
again. I've opened the door twice, and it's
apparently closing itself.

CDR-EVA That was probably me squiggling around a little

bit. I'll quit wiggling.

PLT Well, it 's still open.

2878

SPT-EVA Well, you're doing a lot of moving. It's - it's

bound to move the canister that much.

PLT Well, now we got back whatever we had on there.

It 's back.

CDR-EVA Uh-oh.

265 13 02 33 PLT Okay, we got something back on there that - Same

thing we had before is back on the screen now for
some reason, Story .... It's in the same exact

265 13 03 22 PLT - - the whole picture and - and then it comes back
and sometimes it closes the door.

SPT-EVA Looks like we're looking right down at Cape Kennedy.

CDR-EVA We are, huh?

PLT What it looks like is a great big washer about the

size of the occulting disk with a little hole in
the middle. And it moves across the screen very _--_
slowly sometimes, and other times it goes very
rapidly.

265 13 03 45 CDR-EVA I'm going to go over and get the brush.

PLT Sometimes they're big and sometimes they're little.

Is that something in the pointing system that's
causing that illusion.

265 13 04 00 CC CDR; Houston.

CDR-EVA Go ahead.

265 13 04 03 PLT How about the TV down-link here, Story?

CC A1, could you brush off the occulting disk once

more ?

CDR-EVA Sure, I'm on the way. Get Jack to open that thing
and turn off the motor to the door, so the door
won't close while I'm out here.

PLT Yes, this - -

265 13 0_ 25 CC That's affirmative. We were Just going to pass .....

that up. And we don't have TV down-link capability.
 2879

PLT Too bad. I'm going to have to look back and find
that command. How about giving it to me, Story.

CC Stand by 1.

CDR-EVA We're going over Cherry Point in a minute_ Jack.

PLT I know the area well.

265 13 04 50 CDR-EVA Might be little parts of these paints. This

paint's kind of dried out up here and a little bit
soft and crumbly.

265 13 05 08 PLT Think - I bet I can find it faster than they can
if they're trying - going to take that long to get
a couple of commands up here. Good grief!

CDR-EVA Chesapeake Bay, Norfolk, Cape Hatteras.

PLT Forget it. I got it. 40141.

_-- CDR-EVA Need to open it before you disable the motor though.

PLT Yes, I know. That's 401hl. 40061. Okay, stand

back, A1, while I open it.

CDR-EVA All right. I'm back.

PLT Okay, here it comes.

CDR-EVA Door's coming open.

265 13 05 49 CC Jack, I've got those commands for you.

PLT Okay, I got them, Story. Thank you. I'm going to

enter them right now. Door is open. 401hl, 42141.
Okay, that is checked and entered. Flashing;
cleared. 4006l. That's checked, ENTERed, CLEAR.
Okay, Al, I got a white talkback here. You ought
to be able to go ahead and do your thing.

265 13 06 30 CDR-EVA Okay, and let me - maybe I ought to get some dif-
ferent perspective on this thing.

CC Jack, I've got those commands for you.

PLT I loaded h0141 and _0061. Were those the ones,

Story?
2880

CC That's affirm. And on the - the PES and FSS CAL

we only want the top paragraph on page 2-20.

265 13 06 53 PLT Okay, I'ii do that. Thank you.

CC No TV.

PLT Okay.

SPT-EVA But we got ... - -

PLT I Just - I Just thought it'd be good to have some

TV to see this illusion that I see on the screen,
so that you could perhaps analyze it. That's too
bad.

SPT-EVA We ... though.

265 13 07 12 CDR-EVA I don't see a thing in there. Let me see if I

can turn around a little bit. Look at it upside
down, maybe. Hook it in there as best we can.
Let me take up my visor a little.

CDR-EVA Down - further down than those other disks. They

look good, too.

PLT Just a minute!

CDR-EVA Well, I hate to say it, Jack, but I can't see

anything there. I've dusted it, looked at it,
stared at it.

265 13 08 08 PLT Okay.

CDR-EVA It may be something way back there on the mirror

that I can't see.

PLT Would you rather - -

CDR-EVA One thing that I see different about the mirror is

it's got a round dot that's off center, and I think
that's part of the mirror system, though, but I
don't know what it is.

265 13 08 26 PLT Well, you know those washers we ... - -

 2881

CC A1, we think you've done all you can do right now

and - -

CDR-EVA I think so, too. It's - I can't see anything. I've

raised my visor and looked in there and it doesn't
look like anything's on it.

265 13 08 38 PLT Are you leaning back?

SPT-EVA Let me get out of the way.

CC 0 - okay, we Just suggest you press on.

CDR-EVA Okay, that's the end of the ball game there.

PLT Okay. Here we go. 40055, h0055. It's gone,

whatever it is; but boy, there sure is a lot of
flashing. There's something going on through
there. And I'm - -

CDR-EVA 0kay.

_- 265 13 09 02 PLT - - going to ENTER that.

SPT-EVA Any little motion will disturb - that thing.

PLT Don't move.

CDR-EVA Just a second. Let me get set and I won't move.

Okay.

265 13 09 l_ PLT MAIN POWER switch OFF.

CDR-EVA Go ahead. Nova Scotia.

PLT FINE SUN SENSOR DOOR, OPEN. EXPERIMENT POINTING.

Point to the ... Okay, we got all that.

265 13 09 25 CDR-EVA I'll Just sit quietly here while you finish that
job.

PLT If you would, please, I'd appreciate it. I'm going

to do the first paragraph of A_ Experiments Checklist,
Page 2-20. Use SC_[.w.switch times I. Okay, the
FINE SUN SENSOR BIAS IN switch to OUT.

265 13 09 42 PLT Okay, it's OUT. READY/0PERATE light not on, of

course. SCALEtimes1. We go to ... - -
2882

265 13 09 47 CC Jack, when you get done with that top paragraph on
page 2-20, we would like some TV down-link to
Bermuda.

PLT Okay, I'm working on it right now. They want me to

manipulate to center the scattered light around the
disk. Okay.

265 13 i0 36 PLT Okay, I'm trying to uniformly spread this light

around the disk. That's about as uniform as it
can be done right there. Voice report the precise
white light coron [sic] TV monitor voi - indicators
and FINE SUN SENSOR UP and ON [sic] and LEFT/RIGHT
readout. Okay, the indicator is reading - Well,
there it's different than it was. DOWN, 9. Off
scale to the right. So I do this, and it's exactly
30 to the RIGHT. Okay, the FINE SUN SENSOR is UP,
plus 67 - -

265 13 II h4 CC Skylab, we're a minute to LOS and 5 minutes to

Madrid.

PLT - - LEFT, minus ... - -

CDR-EVA Okay, nice storm out here, Story.

SPT-EVA I'm Just wondering if that was the tropical storm

that's reported Just off to the right of our trajec -
of our ground track.

265 13 Ii 56 PLT ... I got ATM M0N 1 selected there, Story. You
should be getting it, I guess.

PLT Okay, Story, I have - Okay, Story, you should be

getting the TV. I've distributed the light around
it as about the best I can. We still get a bright
glow around the 8 o'clock portion very close in,
but if I move the disk any more, it distorts the
3 o'clock area without changing the brightness at
8 o'clock. And it looks like we got uniform
brightness all the way around from the 9 o'clock
position of the pylon through 12, around through
6 o'clock, and with a little extra brightness
between 6 and 9. And I can't seem to get rid of
that. So I've made some new coordinates and
logged them, and perhaps we'll want to do some
changes. Youcopy?
 2883

265 13 12 52 CC Okay, we did; and we'll be going over the hill here.
That's probably hurricane Ellen that you're seeing
down there.

CDR-EVA She looks pretty mean; she's got a lot of clouds.

She's built up since we looked at her the other
day, particularly out in - -

PLT Don 't move, A1.

265 13 13 09 CDR-EVA I'm not moving. Wait, I guess to the northwest.

I'm not sure which direction's which.

SPT-EVA Yes, I thought that Ellen was further north of

us, but I guess not.

PLT I'm still adjusting this. I'm going to do it some

more to make it perfect. Maybe if I can mRke it
better.

265 13 13 33 CDR-EVA Don't understand exactly why we're doing it EVA,

but-

SPT-EVA What? A1, I didn't understand that.

CDR-EVA I don't understand why Jack - well, why we're EVA

when we're doing this.

SPT-EVA Which? Oh, this check on the - -

CDR-EVA Yes.

265 13 14 l0 SPT-EVA Because if it doesn't check out right, you're where

you can go in and do it again. Like that brushing
bit.

CDR-EVA ... PSS.

SPT-EVA No, I guess just the scattering around the rim of

the occulting disk, I guess.

265 13 14 _l PLT Okay, I got the numbers.

265 13 15 00 PLT Okay, I've got the white light coronagraph OFF.
We're going to close the door now. I have to enable
it first as I remember --
288t_

265 13 15 09 SPT-EVA Yes, we - we're scared that that door was closing.
Across Florida and then Bermuda, so we will be right
up where we were.

PLT FINE SUN SENSOR's going back IN. Okay_ we got that
taken care of.

CDR-EVA 0kay.

265 13 15 37 PLT Now, A1. Let's go on. MAIN POWER's going STANDBY.
Okay, we have motor - MODE to SOLAR INERTIAL; FINE
SUN SENSOR DOOR switch CLOSED. It's closing itself;
it turns out. Okay, MANUAL POINTING CONTROL, ENABLED;
still ENABT.W_, that is. ROLL CANISTER to 6768_
negative. Okay, we're going to roll the heck out
of this canister now, A1.

265 13 16 23 CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA And you may remember, A1, it was difficult to get

that can loose, the last two times.

CDR-EVA I - I been thinking about it. I AJmost went to

sleep.

SPT-EVA Okay. Had a pretty view up there, didn't you?

CDR-EVA It 's a beautiful view up here. Just incredible.

CDR-EVA (Yawn)

265 13 17 05 CC We're back with you through Madrid for 7 minutes.

CDR-EVA Okay.

265 13 17 22 CC And, Jack, if you're not too busy sometime you can
turn to page 5-10 in the ATM Experiments Checklist.

PLT Too busy right now.

265 13 17 B8 SPT-EVA He'll be with you in a minute, Story.

CC There's no hurry.

PLT What'd he say? 5-107

SPT-EVA Yes.
 2885

PLT Let me secure this little thing first. I got her

rolled to the right place. I got INHIBIT, and I
proceed with normal EVA procedures. Let's see,
they want me to go to 5-10 while we're standing
out here in the breeze. I can do that.

265 13 18 18 PLT Okay, Story. I'm looking at page 5-10.

CC Okay, there where it says, "Consult STDN," put in

CANISTER ROLL, minus 1800.

PLT What's that for? Okay. Okay, I've got minus 1800
on 5-10. Thank you, Story.

CC Okay, and you can secure the TV, too.

265 13 18 54 PLT Okay, I've powered down the S052 and turned every-
thing off, and closed the doors. And we're ready
to proceed with the EVA.

CC Okay.

CDR-EVA Okay, Jack, I'll start moving around again.

PLT Okay, now let me find out where I was. How about
a status check?

CDR-EVA Okay.

265 13 19 23 SPT-EVA 3.70 and no lights.

CDR-EVA 3.65 and no lights.

PLT Okay. We did all that already. Let me go on. You

in the VT there, Al?

CDR-EVA Say again.

PLT Are you in the VT area?

CDR-EVA Yes, I am. I'm at the transfer workstation standing

by to pass 82A and B back.

PLT Okay, I'm still looking for it. I got to get all
these different little papers put away, tucked
into somewhere.
2886

CDR-EVA Careful we don't bump this brush too much, 0. It's

sticky.

265 13 19 59 SPT-EVA Yes, I was going to ask you. Is it still back on

the top of the canisters?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT Okay, unstow the VS tree from receptacle. Oh, we -

Have we got there yet?

SPT-EVA Yes, we - -

CDR-EVA Yes, we got them unstowed.

PLT Okay, have to extend the boom th_ere, 0., please.

265 13 20 16 SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT Sun end. Unstow the tree and hook it to the boom.
Shoe toward the airloek, AI.

CDR-EVA Shoe towards lock?

PLT Yes, sir. Now, I ought to get up here and take a

couple of more pictures because I don't have them
all yet.

CDR-EVA Shoe towards lock. All right. If that's the way

you want it, we'll do it that way.

265 13 20 h2 PLT Let's take a peek out here at you. I only got a
couple of pics of you, 0. I'd kind of liked to
have gotten more.

SPT-EVA That 's probably enough.

PLT You got to be working this thing here.

265 13 20 56 CDR-EVA Stop.

SPT-EVA Okay, now the shoe is unfortunately away from the

airlock.

265 13 21 ii CDR-EVA The airlock is where you are, and it's facing you.
There's the shoe. Why don't you pull it back and
see how it does?
 2887

SPT-EVA Well, A1, that's Just opposite from the way l sent
it out is the reason I'm pretty sure that that's
the reverse.

CDR-EVA Why don't you give it a try?

SPT-EVA Okay, but it'll hit up here on this corner. That's

how we decided to do it this way.

CDR-EVA Don't swing - don't - don't let it hit.

265 13 21 33 SPT-EVA Well, but the only way to do it is to turn it around.

SPT-EVA I can't tell when it's going to hit, A1. You have
to tell from out there.

265 13 21 _6 CDR-EVA I'll watch.

PLT A1, the Sun's too high to get a picture of you be-
cause I can't see you with that.

265 13 21 55 CC Skylab, we're 2 minutes from LOS, and we'll have

a long LOS here of 30 minutes. Pick you up over
Carnarvon at 13:54 and, Owen and A1, could you
give us a descripton on the air cooling? How does
it feel?

SPT-EVA I find mine satisfactory. It's not quite as cool

as the LCGs, but it's not too bad. Al's is Just
alike. Would you like to have it back out?

CDR-EVA No, Just reach up there and pull it in - and pull

it in.

265 13 22 22 SPT-EVA A]] right, I'll Just p1111 it around.

CC Understand you're comfortable, Owen?

SPT-EVA I'm a little warm but it's certainly satisfactory.

CDR-EVA And the only part I notice warm about me is my

hands. And they've been warm since the start, and
everything's okay otherwise. I think the workload
isn't that hard out here.

265 13 22 41 SPT-EVA Now, incidentally, this is a much lower workload

_- than the other two EVAs though, Story. I think
2888

it would have been too hot if I'd have had to put

those poles together, for example. A1, when I - -

CDR-EVA Pull and I'll turn it around if you can't do it.

SPT-EVA That 's right.

CDR-EVA Okay.

CC Okay, thanks.

265 13 23 05 SPT-EVA You have to pull the pole, and it's directly parallel
to this long axis, and it didn't bend that way.

CDR-EVA Okay; didn't look like it was bending. (Whistling)

One of those islands is probably Elba down there.

PLT If it's not, name it.

265 13 23 32 CDR-EVA Okay, stop.

265 13 2_ 05 CDR-EVA Okay, see if it'll go that way, O.

SPT-EVA I don't believe it's latched.

CDR-EVA I hope it is.

SPT-EVA Is it? The lock on it, I didn't see - -

CDR-EVA Yes, it 's locked.

SPT-EVA Thank you.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Everything's okay. Keep checking, though.

265 1B 2_ _6 CDR-EVA There's Athen's down there. Peloponnesos. Dodecanese

Islands. Look across the way and see Africa,
Egypt - Nile yet. There it is down there.

265 13 25 05 PLT Finished ap - ap - operation in D024, Al?

CDR-EVA All right, I'm going to depart this area.

PLT You might want our old buddy there to help you with
your umbilical.
 2889

CDR-EVA Okay, I'ii wait amu - minute until he's got the
82 A's and B's apart. Pretty day, too. Slight
smog over Athens. Can see Marathon Beach from
here.

CDR-EVA O., okay, are you ready?

265 13 25 56 SPT-EVA VS tree is in. I think I ought put the boom in

and fold the hook in, I guess.

265 13 25 59 PLT Okay, retract to the VF, remove the tree; RETRACT
fully, and fold hook.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA I see that volcano down there over Sicily.

PLT What's it doing today?

CDR-EVA It's still putting out smoke. It's on the northeast -

not in the corner, but that little point that
goes out. it's at the northeast end of Sicily.
._'- It's at the lower right-handpart of the back of
the point, if you know what I mean. It's not a
very good description, but nevertheless it's
putting out smoke today.

PLT Hm.

265 13 26 50 CDR-EVA See it, 0.?

SPT-EVA No, I was a little too late.

CDR-EVA Still in view.

SPT-EVA Not from here.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT Turn around, 0.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's my problem. No, I - it's okay.

265 13 27 06 CDR-EVA Right over the Nile Delta. Incredible.

PLT How you doing, okay?

2890

CDR-EVA Yes, you ready to start tending the old umbil?

SPT-EVA Got you. Yes.

265 1B 27 26 PLT You ready to start back, are you?

CDR-EVA I guess.

PLT Okay, you tend his umbilical there, Owen, and it

says here you're supposed to unclamp and manage it
by stowing it behind your own sef [sicS.

SPT-EVA Behind my sef [sic: selfS All right.

PLT Okay, A1 goes over to D024, head first, face towards

VF.

265 1B 27 _6 SPT-EVA Okay, Just a minute here, A1.

CDR-EVA All right.

PLT Wish I could get a picture of you, but you're going

to have to ride up higher or something. I'll wait
until the Sun goes - or Sun - -

265 13 27 58 CDR-EVA There's that box you put in, Jack.

PLT How's it doing?

CDR-EVA It 's okay.

PLT Looks like new I'll bet you, huh?

CDR-EVA Looks good.

PLT Holy cow, that's a bright light. When you're there,

let me know.

SPT-EVA How's your umbilical look now, Al? I'm sort of

bent over backwards here.

CDR-EVA Beats me.

265 1B 28 17 PLT There's a man that'd bend over backwards to help

you, A1.

CDR-EVA Let me know how you're doing.

 2891

SPT-EVA Okay. Good. I'm - I'm right up with it. That's

good.

265 13 28 25 CDR-EVA Look at the co,_and module a second.

PLT Let me get a picture of you there, A1. Right -

right there. You're in the shade and the Sun and
everything. It's going to be great. It's going
to be one of the finer pictures of space flight.

CDR-EVA History, huh?

PLT Soon as I can get up here.

265 13 28 46 PLT The light ain't right for some reason. Get this
right.

CDE-EVA Bringing that little command module home in a

couple of days, fellows. Looks good.

SPT-EVA Yes.

_-_ PLT Now don't go away. Let me get one with the
Hasselblad. I got the big lens on here this time.
Oh, it's going to be great; this is going to be
perfect. You're about 4 feet, about 5 feet.

SPT-EVA About 5, uh-huh.

265 13 29 25 PLT Get her right in the chops.

SPT-EVA (Chuckle) Have you taken it yet? I'd like to - -

PLT I did.

SPT-EVA Oh, I was going to ask you to raise the visors.

CDR-EVA Take another.

PLT We'll do it again. We'll Just take a little

different angle on him. We'll get him right in
the bean, where it says.

265 13 29 43 PLT Got you.

CDR-EVA I can hear that thing out here!

PLT Yes, I know I could hear it, too, when you did it.
 CDR-EVA Oh, it's over the mike.

SPT-EVA Over the comm (laughter).

_05 13 29 50 CDR-LnJA Forget it. Thought I was hearing something. Okay,

now.

PLT Oh, my goodness. Let there be light. Okay now,

AI, you let me know when you're there. In fact - -

205 13 30 05 CDR-EVA Well, I better let you know, because I'm there.

PLT Let me untangle all these . .. - -

CDR-EVA Now they want me to look at some colors.

PLT All right, wait'll I get there, and I'll give you
the good word.

CDR-EVA Okay, the colors are this. It's kind of gold and
this tannish color. That's about it. What can you
say?

265 13 30 32 PLT Okay, remove the container B pip pin and verify
the container is not stuck.

CDR-EVA Remove the pip pin and verify it's not stuck, huh?

PLT Container is not stuck.

CDR-EVA It 'ii float away.

PLT Well, then it ain't stuck.

CDR-EVA Let's play like I didn't do that. I don't normally

do that.

265 13 30 58 PLT All right. Lift the latch handles, two of them - -

CDR-EVA Okay, now they're - -

PLT - - on container B. Now rotate counterclockwise

and lift the cover.

CDR-EVA Container. There it is. Okay.

PLT B container, two of the latch handles.

r
'_ 2893

265 13 31 12 CDR-EVA Okay, now inside the can, everything that's nice
and shiny metal looks like the a/_m_num it's milled
out of, I guess. So my opinion would be things
look good inside. Outside they look sort of goldish
color; not as good as you might think. Okay, now.
Go ahead.

265 13 31 38 PLT Okay, pull the strip panel B pip pin, and pull the
handle to release.

CDR-EVA B one. Okay. Which one?

PLT Pull strip panel B pip pin.

265 13 31 _9 CDR-EVA Strip panel B pip - pip pin. Okay.

PLT Just pull the handle to release. Stow the strip

panel in the container, large hole, handle first.

265 13 32 01 CDR-EVA Large handle first.

PLT Samples toward the hinge.

265 13 32 03 CDR-EVA Okay, Just a second. Thumb there. Samples towards

the hinge, large plate. Want to bend, but let me
get in better position. It may_aut to - might
want to change its mind. Umm!

265 13 32 28 CDR-EVA Okay, it's in there, Jack.

PLT Okay, you did that step, huh? Okay. Pull the disk
panel - disk panel B pip pin and pull the handle
to release. Strip panels and disk panels.

265 13 32 45 CDR-EVA Okay, that's complete, Now.

265 13 32 _7 PLT Stow the disk panel and the container, handle
first - -

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT - - samples toward the hinge.

CDR-EVA Okay, Just a moment. Where's this thumb plate?

Thumb right here.

265 13 33 13 CDR-EVA It's in.

289h

265 13 33 14 PLT Verify the container sealed.

CDR-EVA Not yet, but I think it will be in a minute. Just

give me a little time.

265 13 33 28 CDR-EVA Okay, that's sealed, and that's sealed.

CDR-EVA Give it to Big 0.

SPT-EVA I think I ought to tether it. Where am I going to -

Well, I'm going to put it right up here, aren't I?

SPT-EVA Well, one of us is.

265 13 33 57 PLT Close the container and rotate the latches, two,
clockwise - -

CDR-EVA The wrong ...

PLT Remove container from panel. Pass container to

Big O.

26513 34 02 CDR-EVAOkay. Done.

PLT Stow the container on VF temporary stowage hook

and lock and hook, O.

265 13 34 06 SPT-EVA It's locked.

265 13 34 07 PLT Okay, translate to 230 experiment area there, AI.

CDR-EVA All right. Find it. I see it. Okay.

265 13 34 18 CDR-EVA I'm there.

PLT Okay, I can take a pic here for Big Don. I'm sure
he'd appreciate that. So would you, if I could
find the right window.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA I see one with a green handle even.

265 13 3h 35 PLT Okay, I believe that's the one you're looking for.
Attach the wrist tether to 230 collector with green
handle, remove the collector, fold and engage the
Velero along the edge.
 2895

CDR-EVA In work.

PLT Okay, 0., you're supposed to take the DAC off and
film these activities.

265 13 35 02 SPT-EVA Okay, I Just tried it again - to run it on, and it

still will not run.

PLT It won't work, huh?

SPT-EVA No.

PLT Okay.

265 13 35 08 SPT-EVA I tried changing it to a different speed, and - I

don't know.

PLT I bet you it's the darn powerpack. It's goofed

up. I'm not sure that they're much good.

SPT-EVA You know that thing ran that first time. It took
a half a roll.

PLT I know it, but I bet it played out. Called a

premature playout.

SPT-EVA PPO.

PLT I'd like to get you doing that, A1.

265 13 35 h2 CDR-EVA One thing I've noticed right there is I didn't

get those aligned right when I put them on.

SPT-EVA On the Velcro?

CDR-EVA I did it that time.

PLT Pull it out in front of you after you get it ready.

SPT-EVA You ought to have some good data on that with all
those auroral displays we made.

CDR-EVA Yes.

265 13 36 ll SPT-EVA That's right. You got to go under that bar in a

moment anyway. I guess I don't want to retether
that unless I take yours off. I expect - -
2896

CDR-EVA Is my - my tether around? I got to go back - -

PLT Yes, it is.

SPT-EVA It's under your left armpit.

265 13 36 22 CDR-EVA Now here's what you need to do with that. Take
that.

SPT-EVA I better Just reteth - -

CDR-EVA You going to retether it?

SPT-EVA I'm going to retether it.

CDR-EVA All right. I'll Just hang here.

265 13 36 52 SPT-EVA Okay, now. Can you take yours off? Okay, now where
does it go?

CDR-EVA It goes inside on - -

PLT Okay, here - here's the word.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'll wait.

CDR-EVA It's probably going to go on that light.

PLT Go on the panel 321 switch guard.

265 13 37 08 SPT-EVA Okay, I guess I ought to wait then until A1 goes

back in, and I'll Just give him my tether.

CDR-EVA Just hold on and I - -

SPT-EVA Yes. Yes.

PLT Well, Al's going to do the clipboard yet.

SPT-EVA Yes, I know. I'll Just hold it until - -

PLT Okay.

PLT Okay, A1, translate to the F-10 hsmdrail and re-

trieve the film material sample when you - -

265 13 37 2_ CDR-EVA There.

 28£'(

PLT Got to have the scissors, no doubt.

CDR-EVA Well, I'm Just giving that the once-over right now.

PLT I've been looking at the back of that thing, and - -

CDR-EVA I think we can get it. 0., care to hold some feet?

265 13 37 36 SPT-EVA Yes, Just a minute. Okay, I don't want to bang

around Don's experiment too much. Can you thrust
your feet back toward me any?

CDR-EVA Why certainly.

265 13 37 53 SPT-EVA Okay, now I've got your right foot.

CDR-EVA You've got me right where you want me, I bet.

SPT-EVA Okay, and i can hold it there.

CDR-EVA Okay, let me - let me come back towards you a

minute.

SPT-EVA AI] right.

CDR-EVA Use this clip. This is what - We won't need tethers

for this.

SPT-EVA ... don't.

265 13 38 12 CDR-EVA Now I need to come back and look at it again, and
I'll Just untape it. Much like that.

265 13 38 28 CDR-EVA Okay, now pu_l me back towards you.

265 13 38 30 SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA Now go ahead and let me go.

265 13 38 35 SPT-EVA Okay, you're loose.

CDR-EVA Let me fly in there.

SPT-EVA Okay, you're going to go on the way in again right

now.

CDR-EVA Just for a second.

2898

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA Let me drop something off here.

SPT-EVA Okay, watch out for the DAC.

265 13 38 hh CDR-EVA I'm doing my best.

SPT-EVA Okay, now I'll guide your feet here.

CDR-EVA That's a good idea. There's that clip, Just like

I mounted it, Almost.

SPT-EVA Want me to give you this 230?

CDR-EVA No, Just hold me there. You had me in a good spot.

SPT-EVA Oh, I'm sorrY. You're 3 feet beyond me already.

265 13 39 02 CDR-EVA That's done. 230_ I've always wanted it.

SPT-EVA A]I right. I'ii take my tether off and Just give
you the tethers.

CDR-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA If you want, I - you can hand in your arm, and

I'll do it.

SPT-EVA No.

SPT-EVA Get you out?

CDR-EVA Oh, I didn't get on this foil. Ha, ha, ha! Lucky
US.

265 13 39 33 CDR-EVA Lucky us l

PLT I see you in there.

CDR-EVA Hello, Jack.

PLT Exercise in manual dexterity.

CDR-EVA Thought I'd put this - 0opsl Thought I'd put it

right there, but I didn't.
 2899

PLT 0., the first thing you do - the -

SPT-EVA Okay, Just a moment.

CDR-EVA We're not ready to go in yet. We - we got one more

thing to do.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Excuse me, O.

SPT-EVA Yes, you want to come back out, or what?

CDR-EVA Just for a second.

SPT-EVA A11 right, Just a minute. Okay, you started getting

the umbilical tangled there, so - -

CDR-EVA Okay, you may have to do something with it. Do we

go up here?

_ 26513 40 _i CDR-EVA *u* where you always go?

SPT-EVA Where -

CDR-EVA No?

SPT-EVA Where - where you headed?

CDR-EVA Just looking.

265 13 40 h8 SPT-EVA Oh, I normally am down for descent to your right,

but that's as good as any.

CDR-EVA Okay, I Just wanted to see what I could see there.

Yes, see that _mashed-up fairing down there.

SPT-EVA Okay, now your feet.

PLT Ain't that got a big dent in it, though?

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT Looks like it really got hit.

SPT-EVA Want to go in feet first, or are you turning around?

Okay. That's where I normally put my head, right
_-. there.
2900

CDR-EVA Well, let's see what you do when you go down there.
That's a good place to view.

265 13 40 58 SPT-EVA Yes, not bad. Oh-oh! Now we got your umbilical
hooked around that pad up to your left shoulder.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Probably have to go in under to toss it around.

There it goes.

265 1B 41 16 PLT If you turn around, I'll pic you.

CDR-EVA How about holding my feet, 0. ?

SPT-EVA Yes, Just a minute.

0N)R-EVA Let me go a little bit further.

265 13 41 29 SPT-EVA That's as far as I can reach, right there.

CDR-EVA Justa littlebit .....

SPT-EVA I see what you're doing. Let me kick out of my

shoes now while I move down.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Hold on.

CDR-EVA I tell you what's wrong. That rubber thing is

broken.

PLT Huh! Got a crack in it? - -

265 13 41 _9 CDR-EVA It's - it's - It broke.

SPT-EVA It did?

CDR-EVA That's why it backed off.

SPT-EVA There's no point in going out then?

CDR-EVA Well, we could tighten up the - the nut.

265 1B 41 59 SPT-EVA Well, I don't know whether that would -

 2901

CDR-EVA If you'll hold m_ feet, we could go - -

SPT-EVA I will. I've got you. One hand for the ship and
one hand for your feet.

CDR-EVA Okay. I don't want to put any loads on this thing.

SPT-EVA Yes.

265 13 _2 13 CDR-EVA Got me?

SPT-EVA Yes, I've got you.

CDR-EVA Okay, you got to torque me.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's right.

265 13 h2 16 CDR-EVA There you go. You're torquing now. A little more.
I've got to torque until my knees are down on the -
There you go. That's perfect. Keep going. Now
Just stop rightthere.

265 13 42 46 PLT I got a picture of your rear end.

CDR-EVA Okay, pull me back.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA The little grommet went away, but everything else

looks good.

PLT If you turned around, that would he a good picture.

CDR-EVA I know what let's do - one other thing. Point -

kind of point me over towards the place where that
tape was a minute ago.

SPT-EVA Where the tape was.

CDR-EVA You know, on the back of the -

265 13 h3 13 SPT-EVA You mean where you took that sail - that SAS off?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA That's to your right. Up there above your right

shoulder.
 I

2902

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA You need the tape?

CDR-EVA Sure.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

265 13 43 28 CDR-EVA Put it on me.

SPT-EVA There you go.

CDR-EVA 0kay. Just a minute.

PLT That 's tough tape, A1.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT Still pointing at the Sun?

CDR-EVA Yes; pointed right at it.

PLT Okay.

265 13 43 52 CDR-EVA Let me doublecheck it, though. Point it right at

the Sun. That 's better. Okay, now.

SPT-EVA Okay, Just a minute. I'm floating back here too,

so have him move slowly.

CDR-EVA The best thing is this place right - -

SPT-EVA Yes, that looks like a good spot to get your foot.

CDR-EVA I'll wait until you got me. Got me?

265 13 44 20 SPT-EVA More or less. Are you down far enough?

CDR-EVA Not yet. Let me get the tape ready.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA No, I'm not far enough. I've got to go to my right

and down. Got to go down. Oopsl *** my problem?
 2903

SPT-EVA Yes. I see your problem.

CDR-EVA Hold on torque. Hold on torque a little. Hold on

to m_ feet.

265 13 44 59 SPT-EVA A]S right. Your loot's right on my visor, so be

sort of easy with it.

CDR-EVA Let my legs come up a little. There. Stop!

SPT-EVA Yes, if it comes loose again nobody will ever see

it. (Laughter)

CDR-EVA Okay, push me back. Okay, that's fine.

265 13 45 54 PLT Attaboy! That ought to hang in there now.

265 13 46 04 CDR-EVA We don't do any halfway Jobs around here. Okay.

Should I get in, Jack?

PLT Okay, let me find my checklist here. Yes, you

• should get in.

265 13 46 17 CDR-EVA I'm in.

PLT And, 0., you should grab ahold of the DAC.

SPT-EVA Okay, what about his umbilical?

CDR-EVA I shove it in behind me. Which one's mine? I'm

number 12.

265 13 46 35 SPT-EVA Yes. This one right here.

CDR-EVA Unclamp that right here, and I'll Just shove it in.

CDR-EVA Feed it in to me, 0., so I don't have to strain so

hard and Jerk.

SPT-EVA A]] right. Sure.

SPT-EVA You could Just shove it up in the workshop end.

CDR-EVA I know it. I'm Just trying to get it out of the

way. Want to make it neat for you. Don't want
you to have problems.
2902

265 iS 47 32 SPT-EVA Okay, now it's probably going to lift over my head
here. I've got to get back to clear. There,
it' s cleared.

CDR-EVA Okay, now I'll put it back - whatever's left, back.

SPT-EVA Okay. Guess we might have one crossover on the

umbilical here.

265 1B 47 53 CDR-EVA Okay, let's just leave it that way.

SPT-EVA Yes ; that 'll be fine.

CDR-EVA Okay, let's Just leave it like that.

SPT-EVA All right. I think it's good.

265 13 48 01 PLT Get S149 in, 0.

SPT-EVA Okay, 149 is first.

PLT And, A1 you're going to hang this on the handrail

forwardof the LSU stowagesphere.

CDR-EVA Okay.

265 13 48 14 PLT A-310. Forward of the LS - A-B10. That doesn't

make sense. Forward of the LSU stowage sphere,
anyway. All kinds of places to put it in there.

CDR-EVA Might use this teth.

SPT-EVA That 's right.

CDR-EVA Hold on tight.

SPT-EVA Yes.

265 13 28 32 SPT-EVA Looks like any ATM canister at this point.

265 16 47 39 SPT The second thing was the FILM ADVANCE knob, which
has to be rotated in order to align the screws

remember on load number 2 I had to work pretty
hard, hut it seemed on load number 3 it was even
harder to rotate that with your thumb, although
it could be done and was done in order to offload
the film.

265 16 48 02 SPT And then the third item is something that I

probably Just failed to notice on the other load.
I expect that it's normal, but there is a little
wire that runs around a pulley, which then runs,
oh, 6 or so inches away and drives the footage
exposed or film remaining knob or little feeder.
It drives the film remaining feeder. And after
the film had been cut and the tension on the springs
released, I noticed that this wire was Just dangling
loose. I expect that's normal after the tension
is released. I probably Just forgot to notice it
on load number 2. But Just a few comments for

265 18 25 42 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A. The

subject tonight is EREP deactivation for the Earth
resources folks. This is a response to message
5726 Alfa 1. We got everything pretty well unloaded
and cleaned up now and got the S190 filter stowed.
And I went through the inspection, as you requested,
on the front of each S190 camera station with a
flashlight. Here's the report. First, relative
to the contamination between stations, I would
say roughly that stations 4, 5, and 6 are the worst
and are about equal. Station 2 is the least, and
1 and 3 are in between; and they are about equal
to each other.

• 265 18 26 40 PLT Can floating particles be detected, or are they

isolated to surfaces? There are no floating parti-
cles. They are all isolated to the surfaces or a
surface. That surface is not the outer lens. That
surface appears to be somewhere on the inner lenses.
Do the particles appear metallic or more of a dust
or powder? The particles appear to be metal lic
because they glint when you flash a light on them.
Okay. They are, however, in size about the size
of dust, dust - dust-size specks or the size of
small metal filings. There are a few larger ones
about the size of a grain of pepper. They appear
to be about the covering of a light coat of dust
or lightly - They give a lightly peppered or
sintered appearance. They're more evident with
oblique light rather than direct light. They
appear to be fixed to the lens, not floating, as
I said before. Okay, and strike step n_mber 5.
I mann_lly rotated the shutter drive system and
inspected a11 the lower sheep - the low speed
shutter disk, looking for repeat particle tracks,
of which I didn't see any, or for indications of
rubbing on a fixed object, of which I saw several.

265 18 28 29 PLT Now all of it - 8Smost all of the shutters have

some random scratches or m_rkings on them that
appear to have been made before installation.
They all also have some rotary-typemarkings,which
I call tangential markings, and to varying degrees,
2918

and I'ii discuss that now. The tangential mark-

ings are most predominant close to the center of
rotation, which cannot be seen through the lens.
The tangential markings, or circular markings,
whichever you wishto call them, appear to start
about one-eighth of an inch from the edge of the
lens. The second mark - There are basically three
markings in most cases.

265 18 29 26 PLT The first mark starts about one-eighth of an inch

from the edge of the lens closest to the center
of rotation. The next mark is about a half inch
from the edge of the lens, and the third mark is
about seven-eighths of an inch from the edge of
the lens. They are irregular in length and width.
They do not make a complete circle on the disk.
They are intermittent. They are about - generally
about pencil width but sometimes wider and - Let
me talk about disk number - disk number 1 first.
It has these markings, and they're about pencil
width. Number 2 disk - I rea]]y can't detect any,
not to any the - not to any real degree. Number 3 _-_
disk is about like number 1. That is, it has
irregular - It has markings irregular in length
and width, but they're about pencil width. And
the longest one will be maybe an inch and a half
long, and then it'll skip a little bit and another
quarter of an inch. Probably the max length will
be about 3 total inches in circumferential distance.

265 18 31 04 PLT And as I said before, it's not a continuous scar

or mark all the way around the disk. Number
has about the same distances between markings as
number 1 - 2 - as number 1 does, but they're not
pencillike. They're wider. And they're more of a
scrape than a scratch. There's also one in the
center of the lens, in this case, which doesn't
appear on the other disk. And it's quite a long
one. I'd say it's about 4 to 5 inches long and
probably about three-sixteenths of an inch wide.

265 18 31 51 PLT Okay, and number 5 and number 6 appear to have

about the same marking as number h does except
for the long one in the center of the lens. That
is, their markings appear to be more scrape than
they do pencil-side scratches. And it's also
interesting to note that numbers 4, 5, and 6,
which have the wider markings, also have more
contamination on the lens. Number 2, which does
 2919

not have any markings except - appreciably, has

very little contamination on the lens. Number i
and B, which are both between the two and three
worst ones - namely, 4, 5, 8_id 6, - Numbers 1 and
B have sort of intermediate markings. So that kind
of concludes the inspection of the - the 190 lenses
and slow-speed shutter disks. And that may be
some fairly definitive information as to where
the contamination is coming from.

265 18 BB 05 PLT I replaced the desiccants, and I have that set

being baked out at the moment. I have one other
set, which has been baked out and sealed, and it's
located in MI30. When the SL-3 crew gets here -
SL-h crew gets here, there'll be two sets of six
desiccants in sealed contingency fecal bags in
MI30. That's the way we found it, and we noted
that all 12 of those desiccants were a royal blue.
And they will need to change desiccants immedi-
ately before the first use or immediately -
immediately upon arriving, because the desiccants
don't last very long. Okay, when I replacedthe
desiccants, 1%raa unable to find any of the same
contamination of which I - I've been seeking.
Using a swab, I wiped the metallic surfaces that
I could reach. I didn't - I saw nothing floating
in there, and when I pulled the swab out, all I
had was a little bit of dirt on it (but not any-
thing more than you'd expect) and maybe a little
oxidation.

265 18 34 29 PLT I photographed the front of each of these stations,

and I photographed camera station number 4 twice
in order to point out the - the big welt - welt
_a_ks on the center of the lens. And I believe
the pictures ought to come out pretty well. I
took quite a lot of time, and I got good light
on them - light that was oblique and would high-
light the centered appearance on the lens and also
show up the marks on the slow-speed shutter disk.
And I had good light meter settings as well. I
did check the light-meter battery, and it was right
up to snuff. So that concludes the EREP deactiva-
tion as contained in message 5726 Alfa 1. And this
is for the EREP people.

 2925 DAY267 (AM)

267 08 04 12 SPT SPT on channel A with a message to Paul Patterson

and others interested in the persistent image
scope. Referring to your general message which
you sent up to us about 8 or i0 days ago, l've
not had time to take a look at the possible
problems that we experienced earlier with the
persistent scope. However, looking at your
comments, I believe the things that we saw are
quite consistent with this description of the
way th - that the scope is built. For example,
the horizontal streaks that we saw look as if
they may be a temporary breakdown of the high
voltage between the photocathode and the fiber
optic plate, or something like that, which
causes these streaks to appear across the scope.
Also, you indicate that these things can occur
with either a - a - weak battery or a high con-
tact resistance. I think we could have had
either one or both. Although the high contact
resistance appears more probable, since for the
last i0 days or so the scope has been working
/_ more or less normally.

267 08 05 30 SPT It's also consistent, I think, with the fact

that the first half of the mission we had a
different image presented in the IR position
than we did in the ON position. And I think
this is probably a different contact resistance
on those two contacts on the scope. Now one
of the principal reasons, perhaps the main
reason, I think, that we didn't have it for a
while during the last half of the mission was
in these positions the resistance of that con-
tact had changed to a point where it was Just
causing these effects to occur.

SPT Now the scope has been working fine recently,

but if there is another scope available, or
a - a procedure develops which will get in there
and clean those contacts up, I think it'd be
a very useful thing to prepare for SL-_,
-- because they'll find this a big advantage.
They'll really use that scope a lot, and it's not
something that you want to take a very big risk
on having fail. So - so send these comments to
Paul Patterson and others of the ATM group who
are interested in the persistent image scope.

268 21 53 19 PLT Yes, the Earth is pitching.

CDR Okay.

PLT Uh-huh.

CDR All right, go ahead, 0.

SPT We've got nothing to do here for a while.

PLT In the proper direction - -

SPT ,..

PLT - - so we wind up head down when we get there,

right ?

CDR Yes. Head down, feet up.

PLT Right. That's the way the Earth is pitching in

the window here. Yes, we're tending to get our
tail end more tangent to the Earth's horizon.

SPT Which way are we moving, Jack?

PLT That way.

SPT That way, that's good.

PLT Ought to see Earth coming up in the window after

a while.

SPT Uh-huh.

CDR Okay. Tell me when 0.05g time is.

CDR Is that right?

SPT Let's check it out.

CDR Look and check.

SPT ... at 50 thou[sand].

looking for 0.05g - -

PLT Mm-hmm.

CDR - - that you're going to hit at 28.

PLT Mm-hmm.

CDR At 28, I'm going to go to BACKUP VIIRANGE at the

CDR Let's get 210.

PLT That 's right.

CDR And change this program.

PLT That 's right.

CDR Then you're going to hit a VERB.

PLT That 's right.

CDR Okay.

PLT You got to check the downrange here.

268 21 55 20 CDR Then you're going to check it. Yes, horizon is

Just right.

268 21 55 29 PLT Yes, it's doing right, isn't it?

SPT Mm-hmm. How did you maneuver out of the way,

direct ?

CDR Yes, that's where the training pays off. I've

got you off the checklist.

268 21 55 42 PLT I should have - -

SPT You know after we stopped at - -

CDR Wha - what it was, there's two types of things

going on there.

PLT That 's right.

CDR Okay.

268 21 55 50 PLT Felt like the thing was bumping us in the rear end
when it was really the command mod - command module
thrusters firing. After that the big bang went
bump, bump, bump. Felt like the thing was Just
tapping us in the rear, but it was really these
thrusters going.

CDR _n-h_n.

PLT Holy cow! It's still with us.

'_ 3025

SPT What did it do? Did it look like it was coming

back?

CDR What?

SPT The service module.

PLT No, we never saw it.

CDR Never saw the service - -

SPT Oh, you never saw it? You had to maneuver to try
to see it?

PLT No - -

SPT Were you Just maneuvering back to attitude?

268 21 56 2_ CDR No, we started drifting over this way instead of

that way and i wanted to get back.

SPT I see. So then we were worried about the service

_ module. I didn't see it out there.

CDR No.

268 21 56 27 PLT No, it was long gone. I mean instantaneously

after we had the SEP - -

SPT Yes.

PLT - - pyro, it went bang - went bump, bump, bump,

like that - -

SPT Oh.

PLT - - and it felt like it was - we were rocking on

the - on the cylindrical portion of the -

SPT ...

CDR Sure d -bangs off, doesn't it?

PLT Yes, that's - that's great. Gee, that's really

neat. Dynam_ cs. Just think, 0., we could be
sitting up there at A - ATM panel.
3o26

268 21 56 54 SPT Well, we can still look at the Sun. Here comes
the horizon.

PLT That was a nice burn; it was nice, light off,

nice - -

SPT It was.

PLT - - smooth ride. I liked the acceleration; it

felt good.

SFT It was Just perfect. I thought it was a lot smoother

than the rendezvous SPS.

PLT Yes, maybe we were bolted down for it or ready

for it.

CDR I think we were bolted down much - -

PLT Because - -

CDR - - better.

PLT - - it w - We're lighter loaded, and -

CDR Heading back.

SPT Yes.

PLT BATs are hanging in there. 29 volts.

CDR Okay. Beta's got to be plus. Let me look at that

pad.

268 21 57 22 PLT 29 volts. Okay.

,_ 3027

COMMAND MODULE RCS is in good shape, Just the way

we like it. Everything is perfect. Pyro batteries:
Let me give you a check - 36 volts. We didn't
use much out of the pyro batts.

pieces that keep floating by? You notice that?

SPT Yes.

PLT Yes.

268 21 58 36 CDR Must have come off from up in there somewhere.

SPT Just crap that's been collecting for the last

2 months.

CDR Thing likes to drift out of hand.

3028

PLT Cosmic dust. I wish my window wasn't all clobbered

up when we ride here. Inside of the middle pane
looks like it's screwed up. Looks like they might
have a piece of fiberglass on it. Something else
has happened to the rendezvous window. Lots of
little hair-like things in it, the middle pane.
Looks like fuzz off a blanket almost. That's -
that's what made the peculiar pattern when there
was moisture. (Sneeze) Excuse me.

268 21 59 45 PLT 7 minutes. Okay, RANGE TO GO is looking good.

SPT Swell.

268 22 01 05 PLT (Chuckle) Looks like we're sinking the Sun right
in the water.

CDR We are.

SPT Wish I could see it. It does look pretty low.

CDR We are low and we 're whistling fast. We 're whistling

fast, too. Notice the rate.

SPT Yes. Yes. Very definitely a much faster rate.

268 22 01 20 PLT We got the right end forward.

CDR Can't beat that.

PLT Heads down, feet up.

268 22 01 25 SPT 2823. Here comes our 5-minute check. I'm expecting
