INTRODUCTION
This document is the transcription of the Skylab I/h flight crew

ccmm'_nications (i) as recorded on the command module (CM) data storage
equipment (DSE) and (2) as recorded on the airlock m_dule (AM) re_crder.
Data from these recorders are telemetered (dumped) to Space Tracking
and Data _;etwork (STDN) sites for retransmission to the Lyndon B. J_hnson
Space Center. Transcription of these tapes was managed by Willia_.A.
Kelley, Test Division, Program Operations Office, to whom inquiries
re_;arding this doc_unent should be referred.
The transcript is divided into three columns -- time, speaker, and

_:ext. The Greenwich mean time (GMT) column consists of four multidigi_
n_bers representing days, hours, minutes, and seconds (e.g., 2C9 __° 3_ -_,''

The Skylab i mission began with lift-off of the orbital workshop at
17:30:00 GMT (12:30:00 c.d.t.) on May lh, 1973. -The third three-man team
to occupy the workshop, the Skylab 4 crew, lifted off at 14:01:23 GMT
(@8:01:23 c.d.t.) o_ November 16. The Skylab 4 crew splashed down in
the Pacific Ocean at 15:16:55 GMT (10:16:55 c.d.t.) on February 8, 197_.

357 01 ii 40 SPT SPT at 01:ii; handheld photos, targets of oppor-

tunity. Subject was island wakes and cirrus
clouds. I'm sorry; low - relatively low stratus
clouds. The winds in the area were - where we
were - were moving away from us, south. We were
right by - Just slightly south of South Island.
New Zealand. The island was a small island of_
the coast of New Zealand; not Stewart Island, but
another one smaller than *** There's actually
two islands involved in the wake - the wake off
of each island and the interaction of the two
wakes. First of all, the - the largest wake was
seen where, of course, the clouds were the densest.
357 01 12 52 SPT And it had a shock front, if you will, or a propa-

gation front, which angled back at around 45 degrees
1426 _.
on either side. Behind that, there were waves

which were arc-shaped, so that they bowed forward
towardsthe island and were tangent to the shock
front or the propagation front. I would estimate
this went back for about lO0 miles, and that the
wavelength was, oh, a couple miles or so.
357 01 13 42 SPT The interaction of the two showed that they were
pretty much just superimposed upon one another. I
did not see a new pattern emerge when the two
island wakes were superimposed. One island was
back and a little bit to the east of the other.
By back, I mean further away from us and further
downstream and a little bit further to the -
correction, a little bit further to the west. I
did get some photos on that; mag CXIT, frames 148
to 151, 16 on the f-stop, i00 millimeter, 1/250,
taken at 00:58 to 01:00.
357 01 14 42 SPT Also, I noticed right after that one of the Chatham
Islands had a couple of vorti - vortices or at
least cloud generation centers coming off the peaks
of the mountains on those islands - on that parti-
cular island. There were about three points of -
which clouds were originating and flowing further
downstream. I would have est - estimated the
clouds were maybe, oh, 20, 30, 40 miles downstream.
The largest stream of clouds went back from the
highest peak. The angle on the clouds is maybe
l0 degrees from centerline. That is, it was a
very sharp spike - the tip of the spike at the
island. That was on mag CXI7, frame 152; 1/16 -
or 1 - 1 over 16, f-stop; and lO0-millimeters,
1/250.

Sun-centered operations, Pretty straightforward,
building block 1 and the VTR. I went over and
1427
looked at active region 00 at the conclusion of

the scheduled operation. And I did not see any
significant bright points or any activity which
should indicate a flare would be imminent.
So I took a search around the limb and took a
look at filament 53, which is now becoming a
prominence - quite a nice one - and thought maybe
I could get a little 55 data on it as well as
some 56 PATROL, SHORTs.
357 02 57 06 SPT So we went over and pointed to the prominence and

started a series of truncated MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs.
After three MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs, I started to
look a little harder and got on the scale and
figured out that we're really cutting off part
of the prominence - the top part. So between one
of the 56 PATROL, SHORTs and the MIRROR, AUTO
RASTER, we repointed up again. And I gave around
four or five more MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs. The
first one truncated at line lh, and the next ones
were truncated at line 21. These were all done
at a GRATING of 0000.

357 04 55 59 CDR This is the CDR at 04:55 with comments on the

general message 3hh3 Alfa 1 scheduling. This is
- I'll Just go down the - the list, and when I
come to something I disagree with, we'll make
the comment. Okay, we're okay down to ETC load,
and we think it ought to be 30 minutes instead of
15 because it requires a lot of darkening of the
- of the workshop and a lot of care; and I don't
think that's something we want to be rushed in.
357 Oh 56 38 CDR M07h cal, an hour and 15, M172 cal, 2 hours and
15 minutes. The last time Bill had to do that
M172 cal, he greatly exceeded the 1 hour and
30 minutes. He spent a lot of time having to rob -
rob time from other bits of his activities in
order to finish up the Job. Okay. Then we're
okay down to center of mass. Center of mass, we
think, should be 15 minutes per man. If you want
a center of mass on all three men, you should
1428
probably allow more on the order of 30 minutes.

If you're going to do Just one man, allow 15 min-
utes; if youtre going to do two men, you should
probably allow 20 minutes ; and for three men,
30 minutes.
357 04 57 35 CDR Okay. The next down the line is M509-1, 2, and 4.
Bill and I both have felt crowded the last two
times. We think maybe you ought to allow 3 hours
and 30 minutes. Give us an extra 15 minutes, and
if we start getting ahead, we'll give it back to
you. S019 Papa Romeo 2, we think we can do that
in 35 rather than 45 minutes. S019 Sierra Tango-l,
we think we can cut back from 40 to 30 minutes
on that. We can do that in 30.
357 04 58 06 CDR Going down to S063 Hotel Papa Romeo. We've never
done it before. Looking at the procedures, we
estimate it'll take 30 minutes to do it the first
time. And if we get better, we'll cut the time.
S063 Hotel Oscar Papa - In fact, all of these
04 plus data take plus 02 entries, we don't think
we can get ready to do anything in 4 minutes. I
can't even get ready to do an $233 in h minutes.
357 Oh 58 38 CDR So I would like - S06B Hotel Oscar Papa to be a

l0 data - l0 plus data take plus 2 is okay. S063
Kilo Hotel Papa Romeo, both to 30 minutes. Kilo
Hotel Oscar Papa, l0 minutes plus data take plus 2.
The stow is okay. S073, SI8B, we don't have any-
thing to argue with there. $233, the data take
should - It should be a lO-minute plus data take
plus 2 because you've got to go in, you've got to
close the hatch, you've got to turn off all the
lights, you've got to make sure your watch is
_mning prop - properly, set up properly, you've
got to open the window, set up - make sure the
camera is pointed in the right direction. And you
Just don't do all that in 4 minutes. You really
need l0 to do that.
357 04 59 40 CDR Stereo photos for all three guys, we think that
ought to be 45 minutes. It takes quite a while
to set up all three cameras, get the string, get
all that Jlm_ put up, get three guys undressed,
get two guys positioned, talk over what you're
going to do, and get your signals all down square
and everything, and we don't do that often enough
T
to be really swift. So, so much for that list.
Now in your scheduling guidelines, item 3, items
- activities which can be scheduled with post-
sleep, the only thing that bugs me is selected
housekeeping. I'd like to know what you mean by
selected housekeeping. Right offhand, I can _hink
of housekeeping 3A, the squeezer bag du-T_, but I'm
not sure what else there is.
357 05 00 26 CDR Number 5, the same thing. The term "selected

housekeeping" is much too vague as far as I'm
concerned. I 'd like to know more about what
you're thinking about when you say selected
housekeeping. Item number lO, cleanup time of
15 minutes after PT. That should be each PT. In
the case of me, if you split m_ PT, I'm going to
need time to clean up after each of them; or else
you're going to have to have them close enough
together where it won't matter that I stay grubby
and sweaty. Just remember that it takes me a
minimum of 30 minutes to run my bicycle run. Bill
takes 35; Ed takes 40 minutes. So you're going to
have to, you know, leave enough time there for
cleanup. So, in my case, I will accept a split
PT, but I don't like it. I would per - prefer
that you do not, under any circl,m_tances, schedule
either the PLT or the SPT for split PT, because
you - you can't give them enough t_me to clean up.
357 05 01 31 CDR Item - Under proposed modifications, item number l_

we okay that. Item number 3, we okay that. Item
number 2, we definitely do not okay that. That's
okay, only for the oth - the CDR; the other two
crewmen, I don't think I want to have them split
at all, because they use too much time on the
bike and they would not have time for proper clean-
up. Okay, and this is CDR. This terminates my
comments. I'ii entertain any more questions, and
I would like to know - get an answer to what you
mean by selected housekeeping, if you would, please.

that 's - -
357 13 53 53 CDR A pass of the northern end of the desert and the
disrupted dunes, and they're pretty much pictures
of the same area of the photos that were taken
that are in the book. Shows the - the di - the
disrupted dunes are very, very easily seen from -
from orbit ; very quickly noticeable and easy to
pick out.
357 13 54 16 CDR We the - As we went on up the track, we flew over

Lake Tanganyika and right by Lake Rudolf and Lake
Victoria. They were pretty heavily clouded in;
so I was unable to get any photographs of Kiliman-
Jaro or any of the other HHll0-4 sites that are on
the map. As we approached the Afar Triangle, it
became apparent that any photos I was going to
take were going to be oblique photos, photographs
to the north. I took two photos in that area.
357 13 54 59 CDR Let me get the photo pad here. Okay, the two
photos that were taken of the NabOb Desert were
Charlie X-ray 17 - is the magazine; the exposure
numbers are 153 and 15_; they were taken at an
f/8, 1/250. Two pictures taken of the Aafar -
Afar Triangle, looking to the north obliquely,
were number 155 and 156 at f/ll and 1/250.
357 13 55 42 CDR And then as we moved along over the - over the
Gulf of Aden into Saudi Arabia, I saw a very in-
teresting looking linear dune pattern. I would
guess that the location was about due west of
NN site number 80, probably something like
250 miles. Just a minute; I'll give you a lat/
long of roughly where I think it was.
357 13 56 34 CDR I would guess it was latitude 18 north and 45.5

longitude east, pretty much near the heel of the
Saudi Arabia, in the flat desert area over the
mountains. Now the frame that was taken there
was frame number 157, taken at f/ll and 1/250.
The Sun angle was low; I probably should have
stopped that f/ll down to f/8, but I did not do
it. I forgot.
357 13 57 l0 CDR The - the structure of the Afar Triangle was

quite - quite apparent. I think it would have
1431
been a lot better had I been directly overhead; I

could have seen a lot more. Between taking the
two pictures and trying to refer to my map enough,
I really didn't get the looking done that I wanted
to get done ; but I was looking for Gawa and Dubbi
and looking for *** I guess the - the Abyssinian
Rift Valley was - was quite clear, and of course
that was the - the center of my frame number 156;
should be in the lower frame - lower part of frame
number 155.
357 13 57 57 CDR That's about it; the time was so limited I didn't
get to do all of the looking I would like to do.
We got good pictures yesterday and good pictures
today, and maybe we should now concentrate our ef-
forts on looking and tasking until we get another
chance to get a good, low-Sun-angle picture from
Just about directly overhead.

The JOP 6, step l, building block l-A, was per-
formed. I got 82B cranking at 47 minutes instead
of hS. I hit the 82A START switch; so I wasted
one 82A frame. And like a d1_,.,_y
I turned it off
_mmediately instead of looking down and getting
that 1 minute - 1-minute exposure - or 20-second
exposure if it happened to be in SHORT. But I
wasn't thinking fast; so I did lose one frame of
82 Alfa. Got the - The JOP 6, step l, l-A, was
completed per pad.
357 14 01 26 PLT I was losing a little time here because i got

started a bit late, and JOP 1B was completed per
pad, with the exception that I looked down and I
saw that 52 was running CONTINUOUS in the second
part of building block i; so - and it also was
CONTINUOUS with 16 minutes in building block 28;
so I just - once I got it cooking on building
block l, I let it run until about 3 minutes of
daylight remaining, which is a total of about
17 minutes and 30 seconds combined CONTINUOUS
observing on 52.
357 lh 02 05 PLT 56 deviations: I got the 8-minute SINGLE FRAME, 2;

I got 4 minutes and 15 seconds on the SINGLE FRAME,

357 14 02 24 PLT The coronagraph and the - I got the coron - about
a minute of the coronagraph and about 3 minutes of
XUV on the video downlink. I also threw in a lit-
tle H-alpha, which you probably don't need. And
let's see; the nu z was performed - the nu Z update
was performed on time, also.
357 14 02 50 PLT The corona looked much less active, I mean as far
as the intensity of the light, photometric density
of the coronal streamers. I may be losing my ad-
Justment, but I don't think so. I think that every-
thing is sort of less lively on the Sun as far as
the - the energy of the display was concerned. The
active region 00 - Let's see. It's not - doesn't
appear to be quite the brightest one now.
357 14 03 18 PLT There is a small - Looks like - maybe it's - not

emerging but Just to the west of it, to the right
of it, as you look with solar north up. Let's
see; that may be active region 01. Looks like
it's brightening up considerably, on the H-alpha
at least. Those are my only observations as far
as solar activity. 00 seems to be waning, and
this 01 seems to be waYing, as far as brightness
on the H-alpha is discernible.

357 14 45 31 CDR This is the CDR at 14:45 Zulu with a message for
the FA0 on scheduling difficulties. This morning
we had - you had for me at 18 - at 14:30 a PT/PH
period, which really isn't going to work too well.
Number l, $233 - Well, let's see; that was done
at about 31; so there's no big thing there. The
big kicker here is that on a Mll0 day, you're not
supposed to eat until after you've had your blood
draw, and - which means that we end up on this
particular day eating late; there's no way to get
around it because it Just takes a while to get
one test set up and going.
ih33
357 lh 46 26 CDR Not only that, documentary photos you have sched-
uled at 13:30, and they have to be done during -
You know, if that's the picture of the llO blood
draw, that's going to have to be done earlier. At
any rate, what it looks like is that there was no
way for us to reasonably meet the 1-hour deau per-
iod between eating and PT/PH. So essentially what
I'm going to end up doing here is skipping this
PT/PH period at 14:30, and I'll hopefully try to
get it all in on my second period. Now I may have
to do a little squeezing.

ific gravity: CDR, 1.0215; SPT, 1.0268; PLT, 1.0287.
The blood draw was at around 12:45; centrifuge got
started at 13:05. Serial numbers for the files:
CDR, 156; SPT, 190; PLT - -
357 15 07 56 CC Skylab, Houston.... 7 minutes.
SPT Correction on that - correction on that. Those

are the ones for day 340. Day 357, serial numbers
are: For the CDR, 207; SPT, 173; and PLT, 146.
That's 201 [sic], 173, 146. And they are also
m_rkedwith appropriate color decal and the day
number on them. Plasma color was all straw.
357 15 08 27 SPT The only difficulty encountered was with the SPT
in that after centrifuge there was only around
one-third of the plasma cartridge filled. I took
what little blood we had left over from the hemo-
globin concentration and tried - injected that
again in the other end and centrifuged all over
again; and it only changed slightly.
357 15 09 00 SPT I suspect I did not get enough blood on that draw
in order to force it up. There was plenty of
plasma still visible at the ether end, but it had
not moved up into the small plastic cartridge.
ih34
357 15 09 36 SPT The PLT - Well, let's go through the hemoglobin

concentrations. CDR, 15.5; SPT, 14.5; PLT, 16.4.
Also another difficultywith the SPT's, and that
was trying to insert the plasma and the red cells
into the location that we have lined up for them
in the freezer. In the location 21, where we have
a greer receptacle which holds two of them, one of
them will not take two different cartridges which
I tried.
357 15 l0 35 SPT That is, it appears that the end is a little bit
too small to accept it. I tried it with one of
the ones which was frozen already and had worked
properly in the other, adjacent one. It would not
go into that particular hole. So I suspect we do
have a tolerance problem the - at that particular
location. So I took SPT's plasma and red blood
cells, and they are now sitting in the very last
one but - but free. That's the very last open
space which we'll be getting to in a couple of days.
If you have any ideas on where we can put that -
what location we can use, send them up. Maybe
there is also another green cartridge that would
be open and available.

357 15 24 14 PLT This is the PLT. Time is 15:25 Zulu. Reporting

termination of 557; I didn't realize that it was
on the CDR's pad. And I went by there, and I saw
it was - COOLDOWN light was on; and I thought that
I was supposed to know to follow the checklist.
So that - I had the checklist clipped right there.
And I looked, and the - the checklist had a ter-
minate section; and I Just assumed that I was sup-
posed to know to follow the time on the little
card there.
1435
357 15 24 48 PLT And I went ahead and terminated, which was no big
deal. Jerry had his details to do this afternoon,
I found out Just a few minutes ago. One thing that
I would like to do is point out the need for having
a callout in the details - whoever does it - the
evening when you go - when you're doing a 557 -
when you - excuse me - when you're going a 516 or
whatever - 518 - multipurpose furnace exercise.
PLT We should have a callout in the evening on some-

body's details, pres1_m-bly mine if I'm not in the
big middle of something else, to go to VENT on the
b_,1_head valve and in the morning to go back to
OP]_, if that's what you want.
357 15 25 28 PLT In other words, I think that we ought to keep this

on us, because I have a tendency to forget. You
know, you put that in there, it's all automatic,
and it's a beautiful operation machine. As far
as I can tell, the thing Just works and clicks
and doesn't make any noise or anything else.
B57 15 25 47 PLT The only - only thing we need is, it works so well,
we need to be reminded to go by there and do what-
_ ever is required - you know, monitoring or handling
the protocol on that bulkhead vent valve and then
doing the terminate, which you very well did call
out on Jerry's pad. So that's no problem on that.

357 15 39 17 CDR This is the CDR at 15:39 Zulu, reporting a urine

bag discrepancy. Upon completion of dumping of
my urine bag this morning, I checked it over care-
fully, and I found three pellets of boric acid
that had not dissolved. Each of them was about
ih37
a quarter of an inch long, and they're quite hard.

They can't even be crushed with the fingers. I
might also note that normally every time I've taken
a sample from a bag that's had boric acid in it,
the urine has had quite a few little bitty flakes
of white in it, and I Just assumed - I have assumed
that those little flakes of white have not been
calcium but boric acid which is not completely
dissolved.

16:06:26 we're going to do a termination of the
comet. The title of this little effort is $201
operations; this is the CDR talking.
CDR Okay, we have full sunlight shafting in the rindow

of our friendly wardroom down below me. _ .er-
tainly hope it isn't doing the same out on _the -
wherever it is we're looking right now. It's now
16: 06.

second mark will be a POWER, OFF. Stand by -
357 16 06 26 CDR MARK. START.
357 16 06 27 CDR POWER, OFF. And that does it. I will get our
TILT set to zero. I think maybe our timing might
have been wrong; I don't - I'm very suspicious of
it; the fact that we have full sunlight in the
wardroom window a good _5 seconds before termi-
nation of this exposure makes me think we've done
something to ourselves here. The TILT is zero;
I'm now putting the ROTATION to zero; and they're
locked. Goingto retractthe mirror.
357 16 07 I0 CDR This is the CDR out.
357 16 08 _5 PLT This is the PLT at 16:08 Zulu. Message for photo
people. We have broken the second reel of film,
and the takeup reel hss pulled the - Okay, it's
the third reel, trying to use this procedure on
the time exposure where you remove the lens and
go to time and mark the film and then advance one
to see that it's moving. Man, that works great!
All you've done is clawed a great big hole in the
film, and then when you try to put it to run, you
break the film. Now this is the third time, and
we're - we're in the process now of installing
or - Boy, I'm waiting for ground instructions.
We've used two of these empty reels already, and
we're going to have to use another one in order
to get the film out of the supply reel.
357 16 09 36 PLT I think you ought to rethink that procedure, be-

cause we have - we don't have many more - many of
the empty reels left, and I seriously question
the wisdom of using this time exposure technique
144o
to check film advance. So how about thinking

that over. And we'll do whatever you say, but
this is the third time this has happened trying
to use this time exposure technique to verify
film advance.
357 16 l0 06 PLT What it does, the claw just yanks a great big
tear in the film, and I don't know if that's
what's doing it or the takeup reel or what. But
az4v_ay, it snaps the film. Apparently, somewhere
downstream it sucks it all into the takeup reel,
and there you are left with a supply reel. That,
in this case, was 68 percent left on the supply
reel and some 32 percent inside the takeup, and
there you are. So - we don't have but two more
empty reels as far as I can tell.
357 16 l0 20 PLT How about thinking that over, and I have one
other anomaly to report. And that is, this morn-
ing when I was trying to thread film, I installed
the packs and pulled the 6 feet out and installed
them, pressed the button; nothing happened. The
END-OF-FILM light didn't go out. I removed the -
both of the _O0-feet cassettes, the takeup and __
supply, and the film was inside the supply reel.
357 16 ll l0 PLT It's seen there. I took out the next one in
order, whatever it happened to be; it'll be on the
evening status report. Now I could have done
two things: I could have had the film far enough
back in that it - I accidentally moved it back in
as I was installing it, or I could have installed
the magazines improperly - reversed them. I don't
think I did the latter. There's a distinct pos-
sibility - and I could have accidentally - after
I'd clipped off the film, I could have had it so
far back, I suppose, that somehow or another,
when I was Jiggling it to get it in position, I
pushed the film back in.
357 16 ll 43 PLT In any event, that cassette is now back in its

container in the F drawer. And I took the next
supply cassette up, and I installed that in the -
the transporter.
357 16 ii 59 PLT PLT out.

357 16 14 52 PLT This is the PLT at 16:15 Zulu. This transporter
I just had trouble with was the one that dinged
up the supply reel this morning. So I'm not
quite sure what's doing on. I had - This is the
one I say I wasn't sure whether or not I - I
made a procedural error or if the - if the
transporter somehow or another was malfunction-
ing. But in any event, I Just had - I had a good
load on it on the second attempt this morning,
and I did - just - Standby 1 second ...
357 16 16 ll PLT PLT; the problem this morning in the loading was
with transporter 08, and I - now have Charlie

India 71 as the takeup.
357 16 16 29 PLT The difficulty I Just had was with the film
breakage; was with the transporter 02. Charlie

f this morning. The exposureswere taken exactly on
tlme. I'm not pos - They were taken out of command
module window number 1. I'm not positive of the
pointing; I did not see the comet. Probably a
smart thing would have been to have had an oppor-
tunity to check out where the comet is, relative to
the solar panels and everything, before going out
and taking that. What we did is, the SPT came up
and said it should be pointed in this direction.
And that's the way we set up the camera. And I
took the pictures right on time. They were frames
number 44 and 45 of the Nikon 05 camera. But I
never did see the comet. And hopefu_ly, one of
these sunset -or slmrises, sometime during the day,
I'm going to get up there an - without the camera
in the way and look for the comet and make sure I
was pointed in the right direction.

all he has to do ... his rates under control.
Now his head's a bit low. He tends to keep down
there a bit head low. Okay, now he's Just
about - His X-Z plane is almost parallel to the
floor. Okay, final thruster to stabilize the
translation. Put in Just a little bit too much
plus Y.
357 17 37 39 PLT DATA MARK. Okay, minus X and plus Y. Awful hard
to Jud6e what you're doing ... tends to hug too
close to thefilm locker.. Doing sort of a combined
attitude maneuver around in that time. And he ends
up on more or less of a sort of ... 4010 [sic] in-
stead of the 404, 406. It's very easy to do when
you're - you can't look around and see where you're
going. Okay, ... - that is, to station 3. Stabi-
lized at station 3.
357 17 38 42 PLT DATA MARK. Okay, he's starting around the dome
ring lockers.
PLT Okay, he's about 4 to 6 inches out with the hand

controller arm.
PLT Okay, he's coming around to 40 - 4B2, 434. Stand

f by.
357 17 40 i0 CDR DATA MARK.
357 17 h0 ii PLT DATA MARK. Okay, data m, rk at position 4. Now

he's thrusting back and down. And now he's yawing
to the right. Coming back down to the donning
station.
PLT Okay, now he's facing the donning station. Killing

off rates - translational rates. Attitude is
fairly stable.
357 17 _0 55 PLT DATA MARK. CMG.
CDR The baseline is CMG, right?
PLT I don't - Just a minute.
CDR Holy Moses.
PLT (Laughter)
F _
1452
CDR Oh, yes. The station doesn't have zero pressure.
PLT Stand by.
CDR Say again.
PLT Stand by. Let me check it.
CDR Hey, I'm going to take a rest. Want to check

the instrumentation ... ?
PLT Yes.
357 17 41 50 CDR CMG POWER is going OFF. MAIN POWER is OFF.
357 17 41 57 PLT Well, it was ON. I'll put it ON again.
CDR Wait a minute ... before you pull that one over.
CDR Through?
PLT Negative. Stand by. Okay. How's it look?
CDR Okay,
now
.... ?
PLT Yes, that 's exactly what it says.
357 17 42 55 PLT Okay, I guess I Just didn't have a good connec-

tion there. But it was in.
CDR I'd like to get a ...
PLT Okay.
CDR See, I'm going to elect this unit and go RATE

GYRO.
PLT Just a second now. You did - you Just did the
baseline - -
CDR I'm in RATE GYRO, and I'm going to ... right

now.
PLT Okay. CREWMAN ID-2, we did -No, we didn't. We

had CREWMAN ID-3 for that one. Okay, after base-
line, CM - Let's see. After baseline, RATE
GYRO - CMG. Okay. You got 800 psi; so you're
in good shape. Okay, we - -
ih53
CDR ... 3, right now.
PLT CREWMAN ID-2. Okay, we were at CREWMAN ID-3 for

the RATE GYR0 baseline, and we're now in CREWMAN
ID-2.
357 17 43 53 PLT DATA MARK.
PLT Okay, I had the instrumentation hooked up to the -

to the dust cover, and that's why he wasn't getting
a readout on pressure. That's what it was.
357 17 hh 59 CDR DATA MARK.
357 17 h5 00 PLT DATA MARK. Okay, it's data mark at the banjo.
PLT Okay, now he's translating down to FSMU [sic].
357 17 h5 56 CDR DATA MARK.
357 17 45 57 PLT DATA MARK. At position number 3 - 2, rather. Okay,

he's translating toward position number 3.
PLT Turns out he did a pretty good Job of translation

F on that404post.
357 17 46 h7 PLT DATA MARK. Okay, data mark at position 3. He's

starting around the dome ring lockers. Okay, the
controller arms are about 6 inches to 8 inches out
in the dome ring locker. And it looks - it looks
like we're going to be pretty tight on time again
here. Stand by - for data mark.
357 17 48 i0 PLT DATA MARK. Okay, data mark in position 4; be coming

back down to the donning station.
PLT Okay, he's facing the donning station now; starting

to kill off translational rates. Okay. After -
357 17 h8 58 PLT DATA MARK. That's the - the end of baseline,

RATE GYRO. After baseline, RATE GYRO - MODE, CMG.
CDR I Just did it.

1454
PLT He Just did the CMG.
CDR I did the CMG.
PLT Okay, after baseline, CMG, CAGE CMGs and RATE GYROo
CDR All right.
PLT Okay, now this'll be the crew discretionary, and

I'm going to turn off the F-10 DAC.
357 17 49 32 PLT Okay, that's off. Stand by. Let me check the run.
Okay. Now our crew discretionary is page 8 - -
CDR ...
PLT Okay.
CDR There's about 600 left.
PLT Okay. All right. Discretionary is - first - that

they want you to do a tumbling-object retrieval.
A portable - Okay? I'm going to use the portable
water tank. I think that is probably the most rea-
sonable thing to use. Stand by Just a sec.
357 17 51 05 CDR Okay, two in RATE GYRO and two in DIRECT? Is that
what they want?
PLT I could check it, but I'm pretty sure that's right.
CDR ...
PLT How about putting it right - Try to put it ... with

the top of the dome ring lockers.
CDR Okay.
357 17 51 47 CDR Okay, I'm going RATE GYRO now.
357 17 51 _9 PLT Okay, he's going RATE GYR0 now.
CDR Okay, I'm ready.
PLT Okay, let me get out of the way. It's all yours,
Jer.
lh55
357 17 52 47 PLT Okay, do it once more.
CDR Okay.
PLT Okay, I got two handhelds there.
CDR I'll Just put it right in there ... see where I am.
PLT Okay, I'ii make it a little harder this time.
CDR All right.
PLT Okay, this is a little bit higher tumble rate. See

if I can get some - take one more of this. Okay,
that was RATE GYRO. Save the other two for HHMU.
CDR Now I've got to do one more DIRECT, right?
PLT That - Let me see. That's right; that's correct.
357 17 5h 01 CDR All right, I'm in a DIRECT MODE.
PLT Okay, let me make the first one relatively easy

because that's - I imagine this is going to be
f beck of a lot more work.
CDR Hey.
PLT He had a little mid-air collision there. Okay?
CDR Okay.
357 17 5h 42 PLT Okay, Jer. Okay, he's going after DIRECT now.
CDR WHEEL SPEED LOW light.
PLT Okay, he's got a WHEEL SPEED LOW light. What is

your voltage?
CDR It's come down to ... and 3/4.
PLT Okay. So we got - You CAGED - you CAGED the CMGs,

haven't you?
CDR They're CAGED.
PLT I'm pretty sure you got to turn them OFF.

lh56
CDR ...
PLT Yes. CMG - -
CDR ...
PLT Okay. You got the CMGs OFF, don't you?
CDR Yes ....
PLT Yes, I will. Just let me tie this thing down so

we don't have two loose objects in here.
CDR ...
357 17 56 28 PLT We should have changed the battery when it said to.
CDR ... what I was doing and forgot. Okay, let's do

battery changeout.
PLT Okay.
PLT 211.
CDR ... What would be good would be for you to put

me on EXTERNAL POWER real quick ... while you're
changing batteries.
PLT Well, okay.
CDR ... hook up the external power.
PLT If you can hold that, I will go to -
357 17 57 35 PLT Anywhere on - POWER to INTERNAL while I hook up

here.
CDR ...
PLT Okay. All right, you can go on now; I've got

external power.
CDR ...
PLT Okay. No, I don't have it on now. Now try it.

1457
CDR Okay, now we're ... Right now I can ... if you
take the battery out.
PLT Yes. Okay, we're on EXTERNAL POWER while I change

out this battery, lest we let the battery get down
too low.
CDR Might as well change PSS,
PLT Okay.
CDR ...
CDR ... power now; so if you're ready to go, let the

external power bring the wheel up.
PLT Okay, we 'll have to kill it short, briefly, while

I break this instrumentation cable.
357 18 00 17 PLT Okay, I am turning the PSS off.
CDR 0kay, I'll turn the ... power ...
PLT Yes, I'll go ahead and get this unscrewed QD first.

Don't want to do that, dang it. Let's go by
procedure.
CDR ...
PLT Let's Just go by procedure on PSS -
CDR All right. That's what I'm trying to do now. Are

you ready to take the instrumentation off?
PLT Well, yes, I am.
357 18 00 5_ CDR POWER coming OFF. CMG power's coming off first;
then MAIN POWER ...
PLT Okay.
357 18 01 08 CDR POWER ...
PLT External?
CDR External.
PLT Yes. So you can turn the CMGs back ON.

1458
CDR They're ON.
PLT Okay. No_ - -
CDR ...
PLT What?
CDR ...
PLT No. That's all right. Just stay right here. Just
load it in. Now this time - -
CDR ... PSS.
PLT Well, that 's right.
CDR ...
PLT That's right.
CDR ...
PLT Okay.
CDR ...
PLT 0kay.
PLT Okay. These two dust covers - Man, they're real

hard. There we go. And you tried to bleed them,
huh?
CDR Yes.
PLT What ?
CDR ...
PLT Just a second. No, you screw it back down then.

Hook in DIRECT and give it a shot.
CDR ...
357 18 02 55 PLT I guess I could turn that camera off up there, darn
it. I guess they want it to continue to run
though.
lh59
PLT I'm afraid that they've underestimated or - yes

underestimated time required for all of these.
CDR ...
PLT Okay, I will.
CDR ..•
PLT That's in work. And that's complete.
357 18 05 36 CDR POWER is going OFF ...
PLT That 's complete.
357 18 05 h6 CDR POWER'S coming ON. POWER, ON ...
PLT It's ON.
CDR ..•
PLT It's ON.
CDR ...
PLT It's closed. Okay, stand by 1.
357 18 06 24 CDR Okay, ... POWER'S going ON.
PLT Okay.
PLT You pretty firmly anchored? Because I can't keep

my feet on the grid while I'm doing this. Okay,
if you would - -
CDR ... electrical connection.
PLT Okay, Just let me get into position here, and

then I'll tell you.
CDR ...
PLT Now you put the gas connector in and have - hold
everything together. Okay, now ready for instrumen-
tation - or correction - it's complete.
t
_
146o
CDR ... try again?
PLT All right.
CDR ... power to take off. Turn on your DAC. Turn

on your DAC for a second.
357 18 07 43 PLT I thought they were. Both DACs?
CDR Well, that's what it says, but I don't know - -
PLT No, I don't want it.
CDR ...
PLT Yes. They only want the - -
CDR ... handrail.
PLT Sorry about that.
PLT Say, I sure would have sworn it had it on there

when I got it out. Jer, would you hold this check-
list a moment?
PLT It's stowed right here, isn't it, Jer?
CDR Huh?
PLT Isn't that thing stowed right here?
CDR ...
PLT Okay, I think what happened is, it came off when

I pulled it out. Let me take a quick look around
here.
CDR Here it is.
PLT Where ?
CDR Here by ...
PLT Okay.
CDR ...
PLT Also the dust cap.
357 18 09 3h PLT You know, I don't know where you're supposed to

stow these things. There we are.
CDR ...
PLT All righty. Stand by. Let me get organized here.

I got these two dust caps here for the WNMU con-
nections to get rid of.
357 18 09 55 CDR The battery circuit breakers's CLOSED.
357 18 09 58 PLT Battery circuit breaker's CLOSED.
357 18 l0 00 CDR ... INTERNAL.
357 18 i0 03 PLT Switching to INTERNAL; stand by.
357 18 i0 08 PLT INTERNAL now?
CDR ...
PLT Yes, I'm going to try to cut - It didn't say -

F didn't say to turn the CHARGER OFF first?
CDR ...
PLT It doesn't say to turn the CHARGER OFF first? It

does not say to turn the CHABGER OFF first?
CDR Yes, it should.
357 18 l0 29 PLT Okay, I'm going to turn it OFF. It won't hurt

anything. I think that's the way to do it. Okay,
stand by, and we're Just about ready. Dust cover
back on. I still don't know where to put these
things. Okay, you're on INTERNAL POWER. Every-
thing should be okay right now.
CDR ... SYNC light.
PLT He got a SYNC light. Okay.
357 18 ll 17 PLT Okay, CREWMAN ID-1. CREWMAN ID-1; MODE, HH_gJ.
CDR Here we go.

1462
PLT Fire with same rates as on six-degree-of-freedom

simulator. You know how to do this. There is no
sense - no need to be prodding you.
CDR ...
PLT The fearless test pilot is ready to go. Yay!

There he goes in the HHMU, a look of confidence
on his face.
357 18 12 0_ PLT Okay, I don't really know how to describe all this.
I think I am going to let the picture do most of
the talking. You can hear the hissing. Okay, I
might as well get a nice PAO picture here of this.
See if I can -
PLT Okay, he's getting himself boxed in up in the dome

area. It's awful hard to ... to stabilize rates.
Checklist got away from me, too. Okay, now he's
going to track ... Okay, his foot hit the handrail
up at the dome area.
CDR Where'd the banjo go?
PLT The banjo's under your feet, under the PSS. It's
under your feet and down below.
CDR ...
PLT Okay. Get a picture of Jer with the HHMU because

he likes it so well.
CDR Must have spent a half hour Just trying to get ...
357 18 lh 05 PLT Yes. Okay, he's moving himself over to the banjo.
Okay, watch the DAC with your left foot. There you
go. Okay, he's now at the banjo. Now he's stabi-
lizing - - trying to stabilize himself. Okay, it
looks like he's Just about got it.
CDR I'm going to let go now.
PLT Okay, he's going to release.
357 18 15 53 PLT He's got some nice slow translational rates going
now. Now he's going to try to seal off his pitchup.
CDR ...
ih63
357 18 16 O8 CDR DATA MARK.
357 18 16 09 PLT Okay, DATA MARK. Now he's going to translate. I

think I*m right in front of the high-intensity
light; screw up the photography.
PLT Oh! It's really a bucket of worms.
PLT Okay. That takes care of the PAO photography.

Now we can turn back and get down to the business
at hand.
PLT Okay, he's translating now.
357 18 18 0h PLT DATA MARK. Okay, he's at the donning station.

Okay - -
CDR And right at the donning station, I've got a

25-degree, right-yaw error.
PLT Yes.
COR ... i-i12 ...

PLT 25-degree, right-yaw error and a l-i/2-foot
translation error. And you - you're going to do
the baseline now?
CDR ...
PLT That's what I have here. And I've got a change to

CREWMAN ID-2.
CDR ...
PLT I think we're Just about to run out of time, too.
CDR At ... we're supposed to ... 20 minutes ...
PLT Okay. I have - I'm scheduled to - That's right_

18:30. We got - I'm supposed - -
CDR ...
PLT Yes. They have me leaving - -

J
1464 -J -
CDR ...
PLT Yes. See, I'm supposed to go do a JOP 18D monitor,

which I - I can be late for.
CDR ...
PLT Okay.
PLT Okay, this'll be the baseline: CREWMAN ID on 2;

MODE, HHMU.
357 18 19 18 PLT DATA MARK. He data marked before he thrusted.
PLT Has anyone ever given thought to Just translating

yourself? Of course, you can't - Nothing. Don't
have a source of gas.
PLT Okay, he ended up over by 434 and 436; trying to

get to the banjo now. Okay, now he's gotten himself
away from the lockers. He's translating up toward
thebanjo.
PLT Okay, he'll be giving us a data mark here pretty

soon.
357 18 22 22 PLT DATA MARK. Okay, that's position number 1.
•PLT Okay, this is going to describe what's happening

here. He's - he's gotten himself over on his back
now, in relation to the grid bar. He's going down
back first, using the pusher - thruster. Getting
it kind of close to the blue footrail. He's coming
down between water t_nks 5 and 6. Seems like he's
got a pitchover - pitchdown maneuver start - rate
started, Trying to get his body down in the right
position for the FSMU position. Seems to be pretty
•well holding the translational rates down now.
Okay, now he's trying to get his left roll estab-
lished and his head down in the right position for
FSMU. Okay, and I can't quite tell what he's
1465
doing, except to wait and see what develops after "_

he gets through thrusting. Difficult to tell what
he's ... in. Sometimes - Okay, he's about in po-
sition. Not bad at all. I'd say it was very good.
357 18 25 09 PLT DATA MARK. Okay.
CDR ...
PLT Yes, that's not had at all. That's real good.

Attitudes weren't correct, but golly, you got to
the right position and everything. Head's in the
right position. Okay, now he 's going from 404,
406 - position number 3 - using tractor-type trans-
lational impulses. He's now around. He's facing
44h, and he 's turning around to face the 404, 406
locker.
PLT And the ... - I think we're still real tight on

time for doing all these. He's not going to get
around to the discretionary maneuvers in HHMU, and
he also did not finish the discretionary maneuvers
in the AMU [sic] MODE. He's Just working himself
around, but he's going very slowly. Looks like
he's doing a real good Job as far as I can tell -
for _ anyway.
CC Skylab, Houston. AOS station area Madrid for

14 minutes.
357 18 27 42 PLT Okay, now he's starting around the - No, I guess
he's not - not quite at that position, position 3,
yet.
CC And, Skylab, Houston. For the SPT, ...
357 18 29 00 PLT DATA MARK. Position 3.
PLT Okay, he's going around face first. Grabbed the

dome ring lockers, and looks like he's got a
fairly good translational - Got about a couple of
inches per second - maybe an inch per second.
357 18 BO 29 PLT Now he's having some attitude problems.

lh66
357 18 32 56 PLT This is the PLT. I don't see any reason to have
this tape recorder on. Maybe you want to hear
the hisses, I guess_ so I'll leave it on.
357 18 33 08 PLT OkaF. I'm going to leave this -
357 18 39 46 CDR DATA MABK. I quit. My head hurts.
PLT Do it?
CDR Yes, I made it.
PLT Need any help there now?
CDR I don't think so.
CREW I ... down there.
357 18 40 12 CC SPT, Houston. We're looking over your shoulder.

The ATM officer notices that at the moment, we
have the number loaded for - for OPTICAL REFER-
ENCE and we're in MECHANICAL REFERENCE. And we
Just want to make sure, there in step l, that it
was - that we had MECHANICAL REFERENCE of 0678,
OPTICAL REFERENCE to 0574. Over.
357 18 h0 59 CC Skylab, Houston. We're 30 seconds to LOS. Guam

comes up at 19:08. And, SPT, Houston; just to
remake the same call again, we'd like to make
sure you rechecked step l, that MECHANICAL and
OPTICAL REFERENCES are loaded correctly.
357 18 hl 16 SPT Got that ... I'll get them.
CREW Hey, Jer, first thing ...
CREW ....
357 18 53 44 CDR What happened to this?
CREW ...
CREW ...
357 18 54 04 CDR Well, once you get a rate going in one direction
... stop it right now.
CREW ... recorder lights are off ...

1467
CREW ...
CREW ...
357 18 54 46 PLT And I'll take this ... back up and do that.
CREW ...
PLT You want me to ... to this ... yet?
CDR Yes, if you would.
CREW Okay, ...
CREW ...
357 18 55 40 PLT Thank you.
357 19 07 58 CC Skylab, Houston. A0S Guam for 3-1/2 minutes.
CDR Hello, Dick.
CC Hi there. How'd the 509 go?
f CDR It went real well. We Just about finished on

time.
CC Great, Jerry.
CDR Got all the way around the baseline maneuver with
the HHMU and no broken bones.
CC That's the good news.
357 19 09 14 SPT Hey, Dick, we're Just sitting here waiting for a
comet-rise. We ended up with final attitudes
of 357.7, 349.3, 356.0. So in terms of roundoff,
the second two are okay, but the first one, I
believe, should have been 0.8.
CC Roger, Ed; and one configuration thing. Would

you check S052 to be TV position?
CC Thank you.
SPT Glad you mentioned that; we got it early.
CC Okay.
i&68
357 19 i0 59 CC Skylab, Houston. We're about 30 seconds from

LOS. I'll give you a call about 5 or 6 minutes
from now at Honeysuckle.
SPT Dick, we ended up at - plus 106 in X and 7_ in Y.
357 19 12 05 CC Okay, plus 106 and plus 7_. I'll call you at
Honeysuckle.
357 19 16 55 CC Skylab, Houston; Honeysuckle for 5 minutes.
CDR Roger.
CC SPT, Houston. We've got some commanding to do

on the CMG heaters; so we'd like the DAS. And
I'll let you know when you can have it back.
SPT Okay, Dick, I won't be needing it for about

another 8 minutes.
CC Oka_v.
357 19 19 16 CC SPT, Houston. We notice S052 is not running at

the moment. And, SPT, Houston; the DAS is yours.
SPT Roger, Dick.
CC Skylab, Houston; for the CDR. I got a couple of

things to mention to you if you're not busy and
can listen. Otherwise it can wait.
CDR Go ahead, Dick.
CC Okay, Jer, first thing, we talked about this last

night, but you know your instrumented PT today,
the VCG and the blood pressure data is what we
request on that. And the MA data is strictly
your option and not a requirement.
357 19 20 20 CC There are two messages on board for you that you
might look at. One of them is a troubleshooting
procedure on the legbands for when you do your
M092 this afternoon. You ought to get a look at
that message and accomplish it during that M092.
And finally, there's - there's a checklist
change for the EVA Checklist in which we have
uplinked a table of data to accompany T025 during
the EVA. And you might glance at that prior to
i469
the scheduled EVA conference with Rusty a little

bit later today.
CDR Okay, Dick, and the schedule criteria that we

talked about last night, I put on tape at 05:00.
CC Okay, Jerry, thank you very much.
CC We're about 30 seconds from LOS. I'll give you

a call at Canary at 20:06. And we're going to
be dumping the data/voice recorder at Canary.
CDR Roger.
357 19 21 24 CC And, Skylab, Houston; one of tomorrow's Flight

Plans is on board and in the teleprinter now.
SPT Okay, thank you. In the white light coronagraph

TV display, the second time we looked at it, we
had a fairly large shadow which was - looked
like a very ... coating of the - over the - the
pylon for the disk, and the occulting disk itself
moved a little bit off to the left. Well, we'll
still be able to see the comet, however. I
r _magine it must be our attitude and something -
m_ybe light coming from the Earth's atmosphere.
357 19 22 04 CC Roger, Ed; copy.
FLT I've got the tank pressurized to lO. Is that

right, or should I go more?
CREW Well, I think ...
PLT If you overpressurize, all you got to do is let

it out.
CDR ...
FLT ... air in ... So I always ... can't do that,

but I know for a fact ...
CDR ...
PLT ...
CREW Okay.
CREW ...
147o
CREW ...
CREW ...
357 19 28 45 CREW All right ...
357 19 57 27 CDR This is CDR at 19:56 Zulu. The subject is Earth

observations, handheld photography. The scheduled
site was the Humboldt Current - Humboldt-Peru Cur-
rent and upwelling, and there were so much clouds
over the water that I saw no sign of either up-
welling or the Humwell - Humboldt Current. No
signs of plankton blooming or anything and no
dark- dark-blue areas.
CDR The sunglint was not in our field of view. And

what little ocean we could see, there was no sun-
glint on. The clouds were fairly solid up to
about 15 miles or so or 20 miles off the coast,
and then it cleared up.
357 19 58 12 CDR As we were going by on this particular one, I

looked over toward the city of Autofagasta and
the Atacama Fault zone area. I think I saw the
fault zone fairly clearly south of Autofagasta,
and so I took an oblique shot from, oh, I guess
about 30 or 40 miles southwest of Mollendo, Peru,
looking to the southeast. And I think it's a
pretty good oblique shot of the Atacama Fault
area.
CDR Then as we proceeded on inland on - in central

Brazil near the town of Porto Velho, I saw a
rather large patch of cloud streets and some
open Benard cells in that area. I figured that
was probably a pretty good weather picture; so
I took that also. The first frame of the Atacama
Fault zone area was Charlie X-ray 17, number 158.
357 19 59 21 CDR It was taken at an f-stop of f/ll, 1/250, on the

Hasselblad. The central Brazilian cloud streets
was taken - was frame number 159. That was taken
at an f-stop of ll.5, or between ll and 16, what-
ever that click is between the two. I figured it
was a little dark down there; so I didn't need
the full 16 and the ll was probably not enough.
And that was, as I said, frame number 159 and
Charlie X-ray 17. And that was also at 1/250 of
a second. I'm pretty sure I saw the town of _-_.
1471
Porto Velho. It's a clearing along the side of

the river. And these cloud streets and open-cell
area are Just north and extending from right -
directly north of Porto Velho to northeast of
Porto Velho.

TIME SKIP
357 20 45 45 PLT Okay; PLT. GMT of 20:45. MAZE switch in ON. I'm
on page 1-2 of the Student Project Experiment book -
Checklist. Okay, I'm going - I'm reading step 18.
"Proceed from START; insert stylus into each of the
ll9 holes in series. Hand or forearm must not rest
on maze. Complete test as quickly as possible and
voice record finish time. Repeat step 18 once,
recording start and finish times." And I'm going
to use my stop watch. Allow about 1 - 1 second
for getting ready to start. And I'm going to use
the sweep second hand on my stop watch as my timing
F feature. I'ii give myself a second at the start
and a second at the finish. On my mark -
357 20 46 40 PLT Go.
PLT Now I find this easier in zero g, oddly enough.

Don't make as - near as many bad holes. May not
be any faster.
357 20 47 43 PLT Stop. Okay. All right, that was i minute and
2 seconds - I second. I - My time - The sweep hand
is on i minute and 3 seconds. I said l'd take a
second off the start and a second off the finish;
that makes it i:01 - t_t is, 61 seconds. Okay,
l'm resetting my watch. And on my mark, we'll do
it again. That's just about my nominal time, by
the way. Okay, stand by -
357 20 48 ii PLT Start.
357 20 49 07 PLT Andmymark. Okay, and thatwas 56-1/2 seconds.

Taking off 2 makes it 54-1/2 seconds for completion
time on that. That's a completion of two maze
routes. Okay, that's MAZE switch OFF. Replace
stylus. I did.

357 20 49 30 PLT SIA RECORD switch is going OFF now.
357 20 51 04 CDR Okay, this is the CDR with ED-41 performance here.
Let's see. I have the MAZE switch ON. We're ready
to start. And how many times do you want it to
be done? Twice? Okay, that's what I'll do - twice.
And the time coming up is 20:52, and I'll start it
at precisely 52. That's about 25 seconds away.
357 20 51 42 CC Skylab, Houston; for Jerry or Bill. Not sure how

far you guys got through the M509 post procedures,
but we noticed that the DUCT FANS are not ON. And
you might want to get the thermal control system
reactiv.ated. That procedure is page 14-4 of the
EVA Check - I mean the Maneuvering Experiments
Checklist.
CDR Okay. I forgot to do that, Bill.
CC Roger.
357 20 52 06 CDR Okay, we got detract - distracted by a call from

the ground; so we'll have to pick another time to
start. We'll start at 52:15, which is 4 seconds
away. Stand by -
357 20 52 17 CDR MARK.
PLT And, Dick, Just a quick word of explanation. I

had to terminate early, and Jerry had to do my
work. And - and - actually - I've already
commented that the 509 runs are really taking all
the time that's scheduled and Just a little bit
more, and I had to quit early and run up ...
maneuver. But anyway, that's - our comments are
on tape.
CC Okay, Bill. Thank you.
357 20 52 50 CC And, incidentally, we have received the comments

you made on the Flight Plan from last evening,
Jerry, and we're in the process of distributing
them and absorbing them. And we'll - -
357 20 53 01 CDR MARK.
CC - - be getting back to you.

357 20 54 22 CDR Okay, this is CDR; termination.
357 21 46 13 SPT SPT - ATM - at 21:46, debriefing the JOP 18 Delta.

First seven steps, no problem. We did end up in
the actual attitude of 357.7, 349.3, and 356.0.
And it all looks right if - Numbers should be
rounded off to tenths except for X. There we had
a predicted value of 357.79; so our last position
there should have been a - an 8. It looks like it
was truncated.
SPT Rates were good all the way through the maneuver.
357 21 47 16 SPT Okay, we showed up there with the - the comet at

a position of plus 106 in X and plus 74 in Y. They
f wanted to move it down to 130 in X and zero in Y.
So that was a delta of 22 and 74, respectively.
I ENTERED in the computer a delta of 71 - or 21
and 71 at 52021, 51021, 50071, and 50000. We
got there - close to there, and I had to make
another small tweak, which was a 52021, 50005,
50004, 50000. Got us where we wanted to be. I put
the 95-percent scale factor in and moved the comet
up toward the center. Did a 52021, 50124, 50000,
50000.
357 21 48 43 SPT That was done at 19:32 GMT. Okay, before we did
any _euvering at all, however, we did carry out
the first building block 30. And I think that
went off as called for. No problems with that.
357 21 49 29 PLT So we're not too far off in - where it was visible,
except in Y. We're 0.06 off in X and 50 - I'll
call that in Y. Did not need the star tracker
data.
357 21 50 O0 CC Skylab, Houston. AOS; be there at Madrid for

7 minutes.
357 21 50 06 SFT I'll pick this up in Just a moment.

1474
357 21 50 54 CC Skylab, Houston. I have a question for the SPT.

Something we cannot verify on telemetry, Ed, and
we'd like to make sure. On the last building block
you - when you were scheduled - there was a little,
short 5-second exposure right at the tail end.
You were scheduled to do an S082B. We'd just like
to know whether or not you accomplished that, be-
cause if you didn't, we'll have to take that in
consideration the next pass. Over.
SPT No, I did not, Dick. And I'll do it right now.
CC SPT, Houston. Stand by on that Just 1 second,

please. Okay, SPT, Houston. That's perfectly
okay with us. Now if you'll Just get that out of
the way, we'd appreciate it.
SPT Okay, Dick, you got it. One of the problems with
doing that is, you usually try to squeeze in as
much exposure time as you can. And then as soon
as you get the last exposure in, you're concerned
about getting back to attitude. I think maybe we
ought to see if we couldn't put that particular
thing in somewhere else - maybe somewhere else as
we move it back.
CC Okay. Why don't you let us think about that one,

Ed, and maybe we can find a better place to slip
it in there.
SPT Okay. Also, your question about the relative

brightness of Mercury and the comet. In the
maneuvering, I have both out at about the same
radius, and they look fairly comparable to me. I
could not distinguish one as being much brighter
than the other.
CC Okay, thank you.
SPT Also, as I was maneuvering the comet back in, to

put the slit on looking at the tail, I lost sight
of the comet at around 70 and 70. That's plus 70
in X and 70 in Y.
CC Houston; roger.
SPT And, Dick, one last thing. When I was down - We

had the comet down at the bottom of the display
i_75
before we moved in again. There was an excep-

tionai]x bright source at the position of 140 in X
and minus 60 in Y. Tt was small but exceptionally
bright,
357 21 53 47 CC Roger, Ed. Th_nk you.
357 21 54 08 SPT Okay. SPT picking up again on a debriefing of

JOP 18. We did a building block B0 when we first
got out there, and that was done as specified.
Then we made the maneuver into the comet's nucleus -
at the center.
CC Skylab, Houston. We're about 1 minute from LOS.

Next station contact is Carnarvon. That comes up
at 22:21. Couple of reminders as we go over the
hill. We - Ed, you've got a powerdown for an
una - unattended, that's listed in the pad there.
And also a reminder to get Jerry or Bill to make
up for our mistake there - that conflict in the
neminal H-CAGE and the last few steps in that
procedure.
SPT Okay, Dick. Can I carry out the step 35 and 36

_-- before looking at that, or must I get the nominal
H-CAGE ... ?
357 21 56 53 SPT Okay, we then came up to the next building block,

building block 30. That was after we had moved in.
357 21 57 47 SPT And there, 56 received about a 23-minute exposure

82B got their LONG WAVW_.k_GTH - one LONG WAVELENGTH,
5, and then LONG, something less than 20. And
again, I was busy doing the work rather than keep-
ing books. I'm afraid I ought to let TM see exact-
ly how long it was. 52 received their FAST SCAN
every 5 minutes. Unfortunately, the first one was
done in STANDARD and then truncated, but the re-
mainder of the - the remaining five were done in
FAST SCAN. All of the image-motion compensations
for the comet were done on time every 20 minutes.
First maneuver at 19:32; so that the first image-
motion compensation was done at 19:52.
357 21 59 37 SPT On the next orbit - on the next viewing opportunity,

the next building block 30 was begun. Unfortunately,
I'd looked at the wrong building block 30 and start-
ed to do one that we had previously worked on. And
I caught it, and the ground caught it, and we moved
on. I think it's going to be helpful if we label
i&76
them A, B, C, or some - some other designation so

we can keep them straight. That went off fairly
well. The 52 exposures were - were done, not with
equal spacing, however.
357 22 00 57 SPT And lastly, we moved out to take another look at

it and then moved back in. The maneuvers to move
out were first a 52021, 51124, 50000, and another
50000. That moved it out. I tweaked it up a lit-
tle to get it to where I could make another pre
calculated maneuver. The tweak was a 52021, 50003,
51006, and 50000. The next maneuver, to m_neuver
the comet to our left or our viewing to the right,
was a 52021, 50000, 51062, and a 50000. And then
to move that up the aYis so that the slit would be
looking at the tail was a 52021, 50122 - which I
did rather than a 24. I did a - made it a 22 in
order to take into account a small pointing error
which we had initially even after those correc-
tions - and a 50000 and another 50000. I could
follow it up until it got into around 70 ... The
intensities as seen on the outer edges of the scope
were about the same as Mercury. I also noticed a
very bright source at a position of 140 in X and
minus 60 in Y. That's when we were pointed so
that the comet was at the bottom of the field of
view.
357 22 02 55 SPT The comet is much stronger today than it was two
days ago and quite a bit easier to see. However,
in the center of the scope, it still looked very
difficult.
357 22 03 07 SPT SPT out.
357 22 08 15 CDR Ed, I hate to bug you, but don't be too late, be-
cause you're really going to get that Thornton
stuff later on. Everybody's got to get on the
bicycle at the Same time ....
SPT Yes.
SPT Okay, Jer, muscle.
CDR Freak!

medical ...
TIME SKIP
i_77
357 22 43 27 CDR This is the CDR; 22:43. The subject is M092, and
our subject is the SPT. The exercise was started
at 22:20 Zulu. The SPT's left calf was 13-5/8.
His right calf was IB-3/8. His left legbaud is
Chariie Juliett. The right legband is Alfa Quebec.
And I tried your little wiggle-the-lead routine
to see if there were any shorts or intermittents,
and it looks quite solid. There doesn't seem to
be any problem with Alfa Quebec.
357 22 4h 03 CDR CDR out.
TIME SKIP
357 23 59 lh CDR This is the CDR at 23:59 Zulu. The first subject
is M092. We completed the M092 with limb blood
flow at 23:30 Zulu. We had one problem - not a
problem, an error in the lid - limb-blood-flow
work. The first 6-minute run in at 30 millimeters
of mercury. The first part of the limb blood flow,
he did his contractions at 2 minutes and 30 seconds
to go, rather than 3. And so we held off the se-
cond set of con - contractions until i plus i0.
And then we allowed the at-rest time at 30, with
no contractions, to go to minus 30 seconds. So
we ended up Just essentially having the whole
sequence set back 30 seconds from the time clock.
And, as I said before, I did the little wiggle-
the-wires check on the right legband and saw no
problems at all with Alfa Quebec.

1478 DAY358(AM)
358 O0 00 20 CDR CDR out.
TIME SKIP
358 00 26 26 CDR Okay, this is the CDR at 00:26 Zulu with two
items. First item is flight scheduling in the
area of PT/PH, for the FAOs, Today, I realized
you have - we haven't gotten the guidelines all
distributed and everything, but today was a
classic example of why we cannot run PT and
personal - PT/PH concurrently. You got three of
us all needing to use the ergometer at the same
time, and it Just can't be done. The ergometer
heats up and Just can't be used over that period
of time.
358 00 27 07 CDR I had a 45-minute perio_ this morning, but sched-

uling difficulties slid me right into it so that
I couldn't pedal the bike this morning. And my
routine takes about 30 minutes. Bill - Bill
Pogue's routine - The PLT's routine takes about
35 minutes. And the SPT's routine takes about 40.
So therefore, when all three of us end up with
PT during the same 2-hour span of time in a day,
it should be apparent that the ergometer won't
stand up under the gaff, not under about 8400 watt-
minutes put on by the SPT and 6000 put on by the
PLT and 5000 by me.
358 00 27 51 CDR So I think this, in itself, should be a good reason

to not go concurrent on PT/PH because even running
the SPT and the PLT concurrent runs the ergometer
right up against its limit. I think the most
normal way to do your exercise is ergometer first.
I don't consider the ergometer last to be a very
good way to do it, and that's kind of the routine
we've all fallen into. So I don't think it's
reasonable to run - to run your exercise in such
a mnnner that you expect one guy to do his ergom-
eter work last all the time or anything like
that. I realize this puts the scheduling problem
on your shoulders, but as far as we're concerned,
the exercise is Just as important as all the rest
of the experiments that are going on because if
we don't stay in good shape, we ain't going to
stay up here for 85 days.
1479
358 00 28 44 CDR So that's pretty much the way the ball bounces on
that. I think this is a pretty classic example
today of why we should not go concurrent on PT.
Again, I'm willing to split my PT, but as I men-
tioned on the little guildline thing, I'm going
to need a little cleanup time after each one of
them rather than Just one cleanup time after one
whole one. And don't take my 15-minute cleanup
time and divide it into two 7-1/2 minute cleanup
times and split them up because that isn't going
to hack it either.
358 00 29 14 CDR I think I've mentioned before that it takes a good

15 to 20 minutes for a full-body wash and after a
h5-minute exercise period, I'd be willing to go
for an upper torso wash. But come the end of the
day, I want my whole body clean. I don't want to
go to bed smelling. So that's the way that goes
there. So you're going to need to - If you want
to split my PT, that's fine. I could do a 30-minute
ergometer run and then have 15 minutes to clean up.
Then in the afternoon I could spend about 35 or
40 minutes doing the rest of the exercise I need
_- to do, and then I'Ii need another 15 minutes to
clean up. Okay, that's - that's it on scheduling.
358 00 29 53 CDR I'd like to move on to my next subject, which is

for the M509 people. I owe them a debriefing for
today's run number 2. ASMU maneuverability: In
which mode was the baseline maneuver easiest to
fly and why? Well, naturally, it's the CMG MODE.
It's because it provides the - the most stable
and the quickest attitude hold, you might say, or
- well, the attitude hold. It's the more solid
of the two attitude hold modes.
358 00 30 31 CDR There's much less lag in it. When you let go of
the hand controller, it moves much quicker to an
attitude hold mode than does the RATE GYRO MODE.
And so, because of that, because you get quicker
response time, it is an easier baseline - an
easier mode to fly in baseline. RATE GYRO is
next easiest, and of course DIRECT is the - is
the third of those three modes. And, of course,
far and away the toughest is the HHMU baseline
m_neuver. The free-style maneuver that I flew
were - Well, let's see if we're calling the free-
style maneuver the right thing. No, I guess it
f_ wash'
t.
i_8o
358 00 31 21 CDR The - the - the - free-style stuff that I flew

was the catching a tumbling object. The object
we used was the portable water tank. And in the
RATE GYR0 MODE, Bill spun - spun it up the first
time fairly gently, and I flew up to it and
grabbed it. The RATE GYRO system took over and
stabilized us in attitude. Then it was up to me
to stop our translational efforts. I found that
the translational effects were mostly caused by
me and my translation to get to the object. And
when I got to the object, I Just essentially
rammed into it. And then both the object and I
translated in my direction, since it was essen-
tially in a tumbling mode. Then we did it - a
second RATE GYR0 MODE of this, and the - the mode
was a lot faster. The tumble, I should say, was
a lot faster. So therefore, the interception
forces were a lot faster. Bill, there's your
Sun.
358 00 32 27 CDR The - the effects of grabbing it were a lot

faster. It seemed very natural to me that as
soon as I grabbed it to pull it in close to the
c.g. 's so that it wouldn't affect me so much.
It only took Just a couple of seconds to.get the
picture there. You'd fly up and grab the - the
tumbling object and hold it off at arm's length,
and the attitude control system had a much
tougher time stabilizing the attitude; whereas
I flew up to it and grabbed it and then kept
coming, letting it come right in close to me,
things stabled [sic] out a whole lot quicker -
stabilized out a whole lot quicker.
358 00 33 08 CDR Should any maneuver be changed for the next

M509 run? No, I don't think so. I think the man-
euvers we got laid out are very good maneuvers. I
think they cover the - the envelope that we want
to look at very well.
CDR Are translation acceleration levels too high,

about right, or too low? I would say they're
about right. By no means would I say they're too
low and I don't think I could - would say they're
too high.
CDR Could you null translational rates satisfactorily?

That's affirmative except in the HHMU. Let me
_- 1481
look ahead here. Yes, we have an HHMUMODE; so

I'll quit bringing that subject up.
358 00 33 52 CnR When attempting minimum THC command, did you some-
times fail to activate the thrusters? No, I didn't.
I'm still more heaw-handed right now than I am
too light-handed_ and so I did not fail to activate
the thrusters. I tried doing some slaupin_ or
tapping of the hand controller; found that to be
a very acceotable mode. Quite a bit more econom-
ical, it seemed like from a fuel usage standnoint.
Did the different acceleration levels at different
axes bother you?
358 00 34 27 CDR No. No, they didn't bother me at a]]. In fact

I was hardly conscious of them. I think you _et
used to the idea of being able to rotate about
your X-axis a little faster than your other -xes.
And I don't think - I don't think it bothers you
too much. You're Just kind of used to it. At
least we are up here. I am, Just from the floating
around in zero g. So the fact that we have dif-
ferent acceleration levels in the ASMU didn't
really bother me at all.
358 00 34 55 C]_R Are the rotational acceleration levels high, low,

or about right? I'd say they are about right again.
I think the only - the only problem that I noticed
was with the CMG MODE. Was the fact that I think
the stick forces are a little bit high in order to
hold a fairly high rotational level. Other than
that, I don't think there's any problem there. I
thought the rotation levels were real fine in
accel com[mand] and DIRECT. In rate command I
think they're fine. And I guess if I were to
complain, I would say they were a bit slow - a
bit low in the RATE GYR0 MODE.
358 00 35 _2 CDR Could you null rotational mode satisfactorily in

DIRECT MODE? Yes, I think moving the seat up to
position Charlie helped a little bit. I did, this
time, feel a little bit of shoulder slop, and the
next time I'm going to tighten down a little
tighter on those cross-straps or the - the equip-
ment restraint straps that we have.
CDR Let's see.
F
1482
CDR Did you sometimes fail to activate thrusters in

the DIRECT MODE when you're going for RHC command?
Well, I mixed that up with the translational one
in the beginning. I was in one - in question
number 5, where it's - no - in question number 6
when they asked about translational command. I
lumped rotational commands in there with it, too.
I had no - no problamwith either hand controller,
yet, in the mode of not getting something when I
ask for it. I'm more inclined to get more than I
want.
358 00 B7 02 CDR Different acceleration levels: 0k_y, again ques-

tion 7's talking about translation, and I was
talking in terms of rotation on 7. So let's
leave 7 the way it is. Now I'll talk about trans-
lation. Different acceleration levels and differ-
ent axes bother you? No, again, I think that -
Well, I don't remember them really bothering me
in the six-degree-of-freedom simulator, where we
had a g-field in there, too, but they certainly
didn't bother up here be - and I think for the
same reason, because I think it's Just because
you're used to it up here. Yaw and roll take less
than pitch, and that's no problem.
358 00 37 57 CDR Okay. Did you inadvertently contact the OWS? If

so, how often? Yes, I did about three or four
times in the HHMUMODE, which I'll get to later.
I believe on one occasion - I can't even remember
which mode it was. It was in the DIRECT MODE on
the baseline - I barely brushed the locker with
my toe. No problem there at all. I was Just
playing it a little too close. I found myself
coming in and I - I - It was not a surprise. I
knew I was going to contact it, and I did - did so
very gently.
CDR Did you sometimes need your legs and hands to stop
or push off? I did so on the HHMU, when I was
fooling around with that. But I'll get to that
again later. I also did it in the touch-and-go
maneuvers on the very first one. The touch-and-go
maneuver, I did, and then I did not do it again
• after that. I Just reached out and touched and
then let go.
ih83
358 00 39 04 CDR Is proportional thrust level needed , for the HHMU

needed? No, I don't think so. I think you have
enough proportional thrust level available Just
in the handle itself. It's too bad the darn um-
bilical has to be so stiff because it does bother -
bother me when I'm trying to do a roll with the
thruster over my head or when I'm trying to do Y
translations. But I think there's enough propor-
tionality in the shuttle valve itself that you
don't really need a proportional thrust level.
Would be nicer if you could design a kind of a
shuttle valve that doesn't require quite so much
squeeze. My hand and forearm got very tired today.
CDR Was the HHMU kick bothersome? Indeed not ; it was

very helpful in providing a - a piloting cue which
I Just - I slipped sideways right into question
number lg. I didn't find the HHMU kick bothersome
at all. I found it is very useful.
CDR I think the HITMU thrust level is Just about right.

Every once in a while, I needed a fairly big kick,
and I got it when I wanted it; most of the time
I was Justbarelysqueaking it.
358 00 40 33 CDR I have already indicated that, yms, I can modulate

the HHMU thrust level as desired. Did you normally
command full thrust? Negative; very, very seldom
did I do so. Did you sometimes co,..-.And the wrong
direction? Unfortunately, yes; on, oh, six or
eight times at least. Did you experience any dis-
orientation flying the HHMU? No, I did not. Going
from station number 2 down to _ correction -
station number l, which is the banjo, down to
number 2, which _s the FCI_U-2 - or FMU-2, I ended
up getting down there in a rather unorthodox way.
I pulled back slightly from the banjo and then
down and started a translation to my left and
ended up with a yaw to the left and a roll to the
right. So rather than fight it, I Just let it go
and essentially did a full roll to the right and
ended up at the FMU-2 in the right position with
a lot less work than if I had tried to fight it
and go down in the normal way, which is to trans-
late to left, back, .and down and then roll left
and - and yaw a little bit left, too. So it was
really - really rather fortuitous the way it
worked out.
148_
358 00 41 57 CDR Let me describe my HHMU baseline maneuver to - to

you. First of all, maybe I better talk about the
translation. I Just kind of flung myself up to
the - up to the banjo because I realized we were
running kind of short of time. I - Then - Just
a second. I've got to check the time. I've got
a S019 coming up, and I don't want to be talking
and miss that.
358 00 42 29 CC Skylab, Houston thr0ughTexas and Bermuda for

16 minutes. And we'll be dumping the recorder here
at Texas.
CDR Yes. Hang on Just a minute.
CDR Okay, this is the CDR. I_mgolng to have to ter-

minate the debriefing for no_. I'll get Back and
describe the HHM ,HHMU stuff to you in a little
bit.
358 00 43 20 CDR CDR out.
358 00 47 28 CDR Okay, this is the CDR again, continuing with M509 -
brief. It's 00:47 Zulu, and I was talking about
the HHMU for M509. The transfer maneuver: I
indicated that I Just pushed myself off and maneu-
vered up there - an naturel, you might say - to
the banjo I turned around and used my hands, got
myself pointed in the right direction, and then
released myself. And then began a translation
down to the docking station. I arrived at the
docking station in - with reasonable dignity.
358 00 48 l0 CDR I had a yaw right - I was yawed to the right about,
oh, 20, 25 degrees, and I was about 18 inches to
the left of the target. But I was satisfied with
that; so I data marked it. Then we restablized,
and I went for a baseline maneuver. And I guess
you could tell from Bill's tapes when I started
the baseline maneuver. And I terminated the base-
line maneuver with - Let's see. I had overrun
our time by 9 minutes.
CDR So I took some time to do the baseline maneuver,

but I got through the doggone thing. I went to
station number l; arrived at station number 1 with
about a 15- or 20-degree left-yaw error and in
reasonable good shape there.
r_ 1485
358 O0 49 06 CDR Then, as I mentioned to you, I did my off-the-

fluger run down to station number 2, which is the
FMU-2, in which I ended up with a roll to the -
a roll to the right and ended up with my feet
headed in the wrong direction. I Just - I Just
let it keep going until I did. I had - had
done a complete 180, and ended up in FMU-2 in
fairly good shape with my feet pointed in the
right direction.
358 00 49 35 CDR And then I backed off and headed for dome locker
h04, which is position number 3. Got there -
let's see - in good shape except I believe I
touched. I finally - I data marked, and then I
touched. And then I got myself going again. It
took quite some time to move around the - the
dome lockers. But I got all the way around to
432 and then turned and made my translation back
down to the docking target and essentially did
Just about the same thing as I did with the trans-
fer maneuver. I ended up with a yaw error to the
right this time of about 35 degrees and displaced
to the left about a foot, and that was about it.
358 00 50 28 CDR Bill had had to leave me because he had to go up

and - and take on his duties as monitor on the
JOP 18D. So about the last 15 minutes of my
HHMU run, I was in here by myself. Bill had left
his headset on ICOM/PTT; so you could possibly
aear some of the squirts, and I imagine you heard
me scream how bad my arm hurt and I was going to
quit when I was finished.
358 00 50 55 CDR Did you have any difficulty aiming the HHMU? Yes.
I mentioned those already. The umbilical was a real
hindrance in setting up for the roll and - and
for the Y translations. It was a real bother.
It bothered a little bit when I wanted to put the
sensor up over my head for a pitch m_neuver.
358 00 51 20 CDR Thrust impingement on me or the ASMU: Did it

per - produce a noticeable effect? Yes, it did.
And as I did it - you know - as I heard the im-
pingement, I knew what was going to happen. And,
sure enough, it happened, but it - I'll have to
admit it wasn't quite as severe as I though it
would be. This was only on the large thrust. In
the little squirts that I was doing, I did not
have - I did not see a noticeable effect.
1486
358 00 51 47 CDR Okay, all in all, I must say I was favorably -

NO, I don't even w_nt to say favorably. I was
slightly pleasantly surprised by the HHMU and the
fact that it is a little easier to work. I think
I indicated to you after my last HHMU run, where
I did a little FAMwork, that I think the real
clincher that maked the HHMU work up here a little
bit easier is the fact that you can feel - feel
the acceleration, and it seems to be different
from the six-degree-of-freedom simulator in
Denver.
358 00 52 2h CDR And since you've got those sensitivities working

for you, it's a little easier to do. But it
ain't that easy to do, and it doesn't make me
think that the HHMU is the way to go in any way,
shape, or form. I - I am very, very strongly in
favor of the mode of - attitude stablized mode of
some sort of maneuvering unit. I don't think -
358 00 52 48 CDR I think it's worth it to be attitude stabilized.
CDR And I think the CMG method is best, but I would -

say we - we could go for the RATE GYRO Just as
well. We ought to go for the - the mo.de that
gives you the best thrust-to-weight ratio; that
is, the best - best thrust or accelerations for
the weight you have to pay. Okay, this is the
CDR terminating the debrief on M509, run num-
ber 2.

exposure, field number 201. I don't recognize
the star field, but it has a very, very bright
star at the 8 o'clock position, about 50 percent
out from the center. Passing 70 percent. It's
probably - No, I don't know. I can't tell what
star it is. I'd be guessing. Okay, we're coming
up on 100 percent. Stand by -

Get that up. There it is. 21.9. Okay, I'm
going to start this one early because it looks
like you've crowded me later. I'm winding up the
knob. I'm in CARRIAGE Rm-±'I_ACTED. Stand by -
358 01 13 33 CDR MARK. This is a 270-second, widened, started at

01:13:30. 52.3 - Oh, I'm terminating this one.
I've given you the wrong TILT. Uh-oh. I can't
get it out. I'll have to leave it in until it's
done. Well, I'm going to move it right now. 5.0
is the proper TILT. 5.0, we're passing 30 percent.
So your data's going to be smeared up, but at the
last 70 percent of it will be right, anyway.
i_88
CDR I tried to CLOSE the SHUTTER then. It - it would

not - apparently not CLOSE until the exposure was
complete. And I went over to SLIDE RETRACTED,
so what we've done is I - I tried it twice. I've
incremented the shu - the counter two notches, to
60 - 60. I'll get my pencil right down - right
now and mark off the tilt col1_mu. I shifted over.
It was - 219 is the field number. And what I did
is I called that TILT - I put 21.9 in your TILT.
So there's the problem.
CDR Okay, we're passing 90 percent.
358 01 16 58 CDR MARK. 100 percent, CLOSING the SHDTTER, I hope.

It's not closing, Karl. It didn't feel like it -
it brought the - the - the slide hack with it when
I came back from SHUTTER. But I'm going to
increase your counter one more time. Now see if
I can go to CARRIAGE RETRACTED - SLIDE RE - it
won't SLIDE RETRACT. Okay, it's now reading
frame number 62. I pushed it firmly into the
S_R, OPEN, position. Now, it doesn't feel
like I'm getting the SHUTTER, CLOSED. It's Just
loose as a goose all the w_y from SHb'±u',R,OPEN,
all the way around to CARRIAGE RETRACTED, and then
it won't go into SLIDE RE_RACT. I'm going to cycle
the FILM HATCH. I don't know if that'll do any
good, but it's all I can think of to do right
now. That didn't help.
358 01 18 32 CDR Well, I'm afraid we've had the stroke.
358 01 19 05 CDR The counter is now reading 63, and I don't think
I've been moving - moving any carriages or any-
thing. When I - when I looked at the fact that
I had the wrong - the wrong tilt in there, I
tried to CLOSE the SHUTTER and RETRACT the
CARRIAGE and put a new - you know, get a - a
new frame set up. So when I went to CARRIAGE
RETRACT, it didn't feel right. When I went to
SLIDE RETRACT to get a new frame, it - it won't
go - it's J_,med up - it wouldn't go into SLIDE
RETRACT. So I've cycled it about five times now.
Not getting anywhere; I don't think I'm doing any-
thing right now except incrementing the counter.
Well, we've missed our chance for 833 now. I
don't really know where to go from here. I don't
want to force it into the SLIDE RETRACT area. _,-,_.
Afraid that'll only break something.
r- 1489
CDR Yes.
SPT ...
CDR I've gone all the way to the - to the -
358 01 20 48 CDR Yes, it won't go there. That's the problem._ I

tried to - I tried to remove - see the SHUTTER was
OPEN here. I tried to CLOSE the SHIyI'±_m_and bring
the - the frame back around to SLIDE RETRACT and
it wouldn't go into RETRACT. I'm afraid that's
the end of the road for this one. All I'm doing
every time I try to recycle is that I'm cycling
our counter.
CDR I wonder if we've Just shot up all the frames.

How many are in one of these things?
358 01 22 19 CDR Well, I don't know. It would be that we don't

have any more. I don't know. Well, all I can
do, Karl, is - is wonder. I sure would like to
hear from you in the form of a teleprinter message
or something to - I'd like to know whether I messed
it up for you, or whetherwe're out of f_lm, or
what. But the last - what was the last frame I
told you? It was 57 or something like that, wasn't
it? And the way it stands right now, I cannot
get it into the SLIDE RETRACTED position, so I'm
going to leave it in STOWAGE. I have closed the
FILM HATCH. I'm going to go ahead and terminate
this - the effort here. And I hope to hear from
you soon.

TIME SKIP
358 02 26 4_ PLT This is the PLT. The time is 14:28 [sic]. And
this is the debriefing for the ATM pass starting
at 01:43. JOP 6, step l, building block 1 Alfa,
Sun center, 82A, and EXPOSURE 1 minute l0 seconds,
LONG and SHORT, respectively, were executed. Rest
of the building block 1-Awas executed per pad.
And a video record Just after the WHITE LIGHT
CORONAGRAPH finished its STANDARD. And I got
XUVMON and the ROLL on the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH
1490
within the 3-minute allotted period. So I did that.

i Bravo was executed as per pad. The coronagraph -
the corona is still - still sort of nondescript.
There is a very faint streamer at about 2 o'clock
to 2:30. There is a reasonably well developed one
at about 3:30-_ o'clock with a nice helmet base.
358 02 27 56 PLT And there is what looks to be part of two super-

imposed streamers on the east limb at about 9:30 -
l0 o'clock. There is, at least appear to be, two
distinct entities there as far as the streamers.
And the thing that makes me think that there are
two of them instead of one is that it extended very
broad out as far as it can be seen on the monitor.
After completing building block 1 Bravo, I slewed
to active region, I think it was O1, if I identified
it properly - small active region looks like. And
although I see you don't carry a very high flare
probability, it did look interesting and a little
bit different, and I did a MIRROR, AUTO RASTER,
GRATING, ZERO.
358 02 28 50 PLT And when I finished that, I did - lined up two

different positions of the H-alpha - there were
two - to get MIRROR, LINE SCANs across -_on line 25
using H-ALPHA 2 for pointing. One that had a lot
of dark stuff in it and the other that had most -
mostly bright stuff as it was pinged across. The
MAR was done in ROLL minus 5397; UP/DOWN, minus 0595;
LEFT/RIGHT was minus 0225. It looked like the -
as already been mentioned, there's no sense in
going into it. It looks like the thing's dying -
things are dying out or at least subsided for a
while.

358 02 37 12 SPT SPT at 14:37, M092 and instrumented exercise

following that. I think the only thing different
between this M092 and the one I had previously
is, l, I had a little more rest; and 2, I managed
to take a fair amount of fluid during the day,
Just about all the drinks I had allowed during
the day plus another 16 ounces. I did that all
in the morning, maybe - at least 2 or 3 hours
before I had the run. And I really didn't have
any unusual sumptoms - symptoms during the run.
1491
358 02 37 46 SPT I did notice that every time I would - Jerry would
say yawn, I would find my systolic pressure going
down. Whether that really is a correlation or
not, I don't know. I might give it a try next
time. I have a [sic] instrumented exercise - It's
my understanding, you wanted to follow our normal
work protocol on the bike; that is, what we nor-
mally use for exercise. And if that's the case,
I pump it to a pretty high torque - high watt-
loads, and there's no way I can do that and have
a left arm dangling free. So after a little
while, I Just gave up on the blood pressure be-
cause either I was not going to give you the
exercise you wanted or you were going to - might
be getting misleading data because my arm would
be flexed during the measuring period. I'll be
glad to give you the M171 when that's rigged up
and the vectorcardiogram for - for high workloads,
but I - I'm afraid it's Just next to impossible
for the - to do it with the blood pressure.

358 14 47 20 CDR This is the CDR at i_:47 Zulu, debriefing the

13:52 ATM day pass. JOP 12 Delta, the first one
went well; there was no problem there and got -
oh, yes, there was a problem. S056, I started you
in SHORT EXPOSURE, I gave you about 35 seconds or
so of SHORT, then terminated it and set the EX-
POSURE to LONG and reinitiated the cycle. So I
wasted a couple of frames of your film. S052, I
started you about 9 seconds late but was hustling
right along. Took a little longer than normal
to get the roll squared away where I wanted it,
and I wanted to get it Just right before I started
52. Rest of it went okay. I truncated it upon
1492
completion of the - of all the - the work that was

done. Got the nu Z update in. Went over and did
a J0P 6, building block l, and - let's see. Every-
thing went fine there, except that I had a mental
lapse on S052 again. And after a STANDARD finished
in the - in the building block 1 Bravo, I waited
about 4-1/2 or 5 minutes before I finally woke up
and got you the CONTINUOUS. So you didn't get as
much CONTINUOUS as I think you were hoping for.
And I'm sorry for that. I - during the TV downlink
whichwas scheduled - about this period of time -
that was part of what distracted me - the WHITE
LIGHT CORONAGRAPH showed a beautiful image of the
Moon out at about - when I did a 5400 ROLL,
minus 5400, we had the Moon out at about, oh,
3:30, 4 o'clock. And - the complete disk was
outside the occulting disk. It was a very, very
pretty sight.
358 14 49 24 CDR Okay, then - I went back to JOP 12D at ll:30 to

go. And the reason why is because that one - be-
cause I truncated at 02:30 to go and so I got the
full S052 9-minute exposure and I got 8minutes
on 54 and all the rest of it went pretty well. No
great problems. I managed to sneak a - a short
peek during the TV downlink at the XUV MON. And
I've had it running on MONITOR 2 with the persis-
tent image scope. Nothing too startling there.
_he - the active region that's out to the west of
active region 00 looks like it's got more potential
action going right now. And that's about it.
There's not - not a whole lot of other activity
on the disk except for 00; I think it's 01, and
then the one that's out in front of it, which
would be - That's a good question. Must be 99.
No, it isn't, it's number 5, 05. Okay, and

358 15 30 35 CDR A very close friend of mine has said: "Words play
an important part in our lives and they're used
to express our aspirations and our anxi - anxieties.
Particularly at Christmas time, the words struggle
to express what is deep within us and at the same
time words from the outside crowd in on us. Words
come and go and return again and others never leave
us. Words that come from the future like death,
love, hope, and peace shove us into tomorrow.
Words of the past from ancient poets conjure up
images like Wonderful Counselors, Mighty God,
Prince of Peace, Spirit of Wisdom and Understand-
ing." Now we would like to add a few of our words
from the outside, from Skylab 3.
CDR Okay now, Bill, if you'll - just put it in on me.
358 15 31 40 CDR You know, our Earth seems large to us as we look

down on it, yet those men who have flown Apollo to
the Moon say it's small. And as we see it, there
are vast areas of desolation and - and great masses
of water with man crowded only into the more tem-
perate or hospitable zones of the Earth. Yet the
men from Apollo perceived the Earth as a t_ny blue
island in the vast sea of space. Well, either way
you look at it, the observation is humbling because
the tenuousness of our existence is emphasized by
the need for man to get into harmony with his en-
vironment and with his fellow man. Among Christmas -
among Christians, the Christmas season serves to
heighten our awareness of others and the brotherhood
of man.
358 15 32 33 CDR And whether we're Christians, or Jews, or Mo-

ha_nedans, or Buddhists, or Confucianists, or
atheists, and no matter what the season is - or
isn't, I think we all agree that one of man's
principal goals for the future should be to learn
to live in peace and harmony with one another.
So to that end, I wish for all the world a most
fruitful and peaceful day. And for all our friends
and my wife, JoAnn and our family, Jennifer, Jamee,
Jeffrey, John, and Jessica, and Joshua, I send
my love and my wish for a Joyous Christmas.
358 15 33 24 SPT I, too, would like to give you some of my impres-

sions which I've acquired over the past 40 days.
In a sense, they're similar to what Jerry said,
but in another sense, I think quite a bit differ-
ent. I think they're relatively simple but for
me, fairly strong. I think they involve two
Christmas gifts which are very important ones;
those of understanding and of cooperation. As
we look down at the Earth below, as we have over
the past 40 days, we look at the countries and
the homelands of all the people around the world,
one thing you don't see are any dividing lines.
In some countries you see a lot of water between
them, but Just simply water. Sometimes you see
lines, but they're only lines on a map. So the
countries and the people really have no natural
barriers. Now also, to me, the world has become
quite a bit smaller. We circle it 15 times a
day. And at the same time we look out at the
world of comets, stars, planets, the Sun, that
whole world which we've Just started to explore,
and our own Earth seems quite small.
358 15 35 01 SPT So in no way could we on Earth, or any group of

people, or any country consider them - themselves
isolated. Let's face it. We're really all in this
together. We have lots of problems which we're
all considering now, but they're common problems,
problems of pollution, energy, inflation, Just
to name a few. But we also have others. We have
challenges, commnn challenges. The world of
space exploration, of medical reserach, scientific
research, again, Just to name a few. I think,
if we all - the people in the world - if we could
take a step back and look at the world, as we
have been privileged to do over the past 40 days,
we'll find that it looks smaller and th_ what we
must do is understand one another and cooperate.
I think those would probably be the best Christmas
gifts we could ever give to one another. And I'd
like to wish a merry Christmas to all the people
out there, and especially my f_m_ly, my wife Julie,
John, JA_uet, Julie, and Joe - merry Christmas
and we'll see you next Christmas - for sure.
358 15 36 52 PLT Merry Christmas from the pilot of Skylab 3. I

was interested in Jerry's opening co_ents re-
garding words and the way words influence our
lives. Word is a - a word, a spoken word, is
essentially a concept that supposedly exists in
the mind of the individual. Sometimes we may
lh95
suspect it's a meaningless recitation, something

the individual has heard before. Take for instance
the phrase, "Christmas is for children." I've
often wanted to question people when they say that
because I don't know what they mean by children
because - a child supposedly ceases to exist once
the person becomes an adult.
358 15 37 42 PLT I think really what they mean is, there are children
of all ages and people who share certain common,
basic, sort of fundamental attitudes toward life,
a simple joy and wonder in living and a basic
appreciation of the relationship that exist be-
tween individuals as something that is very val-
uable and that it is certainly important to pause
and we can reflect upon these relationships that
exist. Now the attitudes that we have, the kind-
nesses that we express towards others, need to be
exercised. I know that we spend a considerable
portion of each day exercising our bodies; we're
quite concerned about physical atrophy. Any ed-
ucator can tell you that - of course, there - one
should be concerned about mental stagnation as
F well. We should not only exerciseour bodies,
but we should exercise our minds. And I _think
that, in addition to that, we need to exercise
certain other noble virtues that the individual,
the hi,nan, is capable of expressing and extending
toward others. And that is exercising the virtues
of the spirit: benevolence, kindness, brotherhood,
sisterhood.
358 15 39 05 PLT That is basic kindnesses between people and that

we need to exercise these too or we will experience
some sort of spiritual oblivion, too. And with
this idea in mind, I - I would like to focus on
because I think it's this season of the year that
we sort of pause, and reflect, and think that, yes,
we, too, can extend to other people kindnesses,
and we can extend to them brotherhood, consider-.
ation, yes, and even love. Because I think it was
during this period of time, approximately 2000 years
ago, that the theme was, "Peace on Earth and good
Will toward men." And this expressed the attitude
of the hymn singers when they were reflecting upon
the events that came to pass then. And from the
Skylab 3 crew, we wish to extend to people around
,f
the world a message of peace, good will, and human
understanding.

358 15 _0 _5 PLT We thought it may be of interest to some of you

to - to describe the construction of the Christmas
tree that we have here. The _ tree was construct-
ed out of food cans. Our food is packaged in small
cans that are placed in large over - called over-
cans _ long cans. And there is a structure inside
the can which is called a herringbone, which merely
acts as a - serves as a container for the cans so
that they can all be pulled out at once. And it
was these herringbones _, so to speak, that we used
to construct the limbs and leaves of the tree.
358 15 _I 25 PLT Now the small decorations that we have were sort
of gathered from here and there in the - in the
spacecraft. And of course, we all shared in the
construction of the Christmas tree and, of course,
there was one final inspiration which rests on the
top of the tree and I'll let Dr. Ed Gibson explain
that one.
358 15 41 57 SPT Well, first thing you notice about this tree, as
I imagine you've noticed about your trees at home -
it has no lights. We're very eny - energy cons-
cious up here also. The piece on the top, I think
is fairly straightforward. It's what you normally
put on top of a tree, a star, but we've kept up
with the times we're living right now and made it
fit the scene, the very day, and the very week,
for us, and perhaps it is a very old at the same
time. People will be debating that one for a long
time. But for us, it symbolizes Christmas.

yesterday, ED41 as performed by the PLT, and, a
little later, the CDR expressed an interest and he
went through one - one lace of the maze - two laces.
As far as ED72 is concerned, I took the required
photography. However, very little happened in the
first ll minutes _ and I left the equipment in place
• and drew three sketches; one at 27 minutes, one at
01:47, and one at 02:44. Essentially, what happened
was the number 1 liq - After the first intrusion
of the liquid, I didn't - didn't move much at all.
358 17 19 18 PLT And had a small elliptical intrusion about

5-millimeters from the little metal silver larger
cap at the bottom of the wick. That appeared, but
that's all that ever happened. Number 2, at the
en d of 27 minutes, it spread up approximately
1.5 centimeters. I have sketches to show the pat-
tern, which I will bring back. Number B had gone
up about 2 centimeters and the border of the num-
ber 2 wick, you know, that is the edge of the
intrusion, was irregular and wavy.
_ 358 17 19 51 PLT And at 01:47, the - there was no change on number 1

wick. Number 2 had moved up to an average of about
2.B centimeters. Number B, again, an irregular
pattern, on one side about 3.8 centimeters, on the
other side about 4.8, but it was an area distribu-
tion, wasn't linear across.
358 17 20 19 PLT At 2 hours and 44 minutes after initial activation

number l, still no change _ number 2 was about
B.B centimeters on one side and 2.5 on the other.
Number B had moved to about 5.2 on the left side
and about 5.4 on the right side, with a peak in the
right half had gone up to as high as 5.8 centimeters.
B58 17 20 42 PLT The - The equipment was moved in order to eat.

And what it did - I turned it upside down in order
to stick it on the wardroom table top, which we
stick in the ceiling. And when I agitated it, the
number 1 wick didn't change much at all; number 2
and number B started flowing. The agitation ap-
parently caused it to run down the wicking faster,
because number B went all - al_,ost all the way to
the end of the wick when I Jostled it.
15QQ
358 17 21 15 PLT Number 2, I guess, is about halfway up the wick

unless it - I'm Just doing this from memory. I
don't have a sketch on those. Number 1 - There's
still no change on that fine wicking. And then
this morning we got up by - one of the other crew-
men hit it and this time liquid actually flowed
out in a manner which was - anyway, it sort of
ran down the wicking and rose up above the surface
of the wick.
PLT I don't think that means anything in particular,

other than the fact that the acceleration was suf-
ficient to cause the liquid to come out of the feed
tubes so low and run down the wicking. And that
was the end of it and then I disposed of the - the
wick - the wick experiment and I will bring the
sketches back for the PI and the student
investigator.

Earth observations. In this particular case there
were no photographs taken and the - the site that
I observed was the Atacama Fault which was HHI06.
We came in just north of Antofagasta and again we
had a fairly high Sun angle, I think. But this
time the Atacama Fault where it ducks into the
Atlantic Ocean Just south of Antofagasta - into
the Pacific - Just a minute.
358 19 12 28 CDR The point where the fault ducks into the Pacific
Ocean, not the Atlantic Ocean, is at the little
town of Taltal on the coast. It looks like it's,
oh, 150 miles or 120 miles south of Antofagasta.
It is quite clearly evident from - from the air
that you have a very strong line there that's dip-
ping down into the - into the ocean at that time
at that place.
CDR I - I looked very much - very carefully for the

continuation of the fault after it makes _ts
transform there, and it shifts over there to the
southeast. I was unable to - to see it, There
15Ol
are a couple of rivers that empty into the ocean

in that area that are suspiciously straight. And
it could be that they - they could be the areas
where you've had - the shifting or the
crossfaulting.
358 19 13 30 CDR But from Taltal up past Antofagasta, on up the

coast until you beginto get into the little dry
lake area, the - the llne of the fault is very,
very evident, even with high Sun angle, and it's
very easy to see. The - The land itself is pretty
much coastal plain. It comes dipping down off
the - off the Andes and then swoops right down to
the water.
CDR I don't know if there should be much credence given

to the straightness of the river because quite a
few of the rivers that are coming down out of the
Andes all along the Chilean and Peruvian coast ap-
pear to me to be pretty straight. That indicates
to me that the - the land itself is - is fairly
regular. It's not too uneven and that the rivers
are - are Just kind of allowed to - to go straight.
There - There are no impediments to their - to
their movements, so that there's no - there's no

volume measurements, asking for the torso measure-

sheets, those are not available. They were not done
at that time, and I suspect the reason being that
when we got the notice to do limb vol_tm_ measure-

chest and so forth. I think the problem, there
again, comes from not going through this stuff pre-
flight. I believe Jerry mentioned it once before
that that's all that was accomplished, and we'll
say it again. At that time, all that was done was
the measurement of the limb - the legs and the arms.

ATM pass which began at 17:03. Sun-center oper-
ations, no problem. Set up for 14, straightforward,
although even though I started early, I still don't
think there was enough time available to really
psych out what was being done - and in particular
on 31A. It came down at 17. It said change MIRROR
AUTO RASTER detector on GRATING of 0574. Leave
DETECTOR 1 off until pointed. Well, if I was doing
a MIRROR AUTO RASTER, at some point it's going to
sweep across the Sun, and we're going to have Lyman-
alpha straight on DETECTOR i. So I couldn't figure
out what we were really after there, And rather
than just blindly go ahead, I chose not to change
the GRATING POSITION at that point to 574 but to
do it at GRATING of all balls. We were not over
a ground station, and I could not ask. I think
I needed some words of clarification as to what
was being done there.
358 19 46 53 SPT As a matter of fact, I'm the one - I was glad I was
up here because I happen to be a guy who knows what
red Lyman-alpha is on your GRATING, And I think
Jerry or Bill may not have that piece of information
and may have gone ahead and done it as planned and
we may have burned out a detector. Maybe it's -
it is exclusively - it is clear if you follow it
exclusively, but it's - I certainly do not under-
stand it. So I carried it off with a GRATING at
position of four zeros, OPTICAL. B - I did a 31
Bravo. No problems.
358 19 47 42 SPT And a 31E, I also did. And then we got rushed
there. I gave 82A a WAVFT._NGTH, LONG, EXPOSURE,
1 minute while I was finish up the other. We
were still at a ROLL of zero. So 82A got their
two exposures - WAV_.LW.NGTH, SHORT, 20 seconds ;
WAVET._.NGTH, LONG, 1 minute - although the second
performance of 31E was not really carried out as
such. We came up getting pretty close to the
maneuver and about that time I was wondering what
was going to happen when we reenabled the ACQ SUN
SENSORs and had got a - would be looking at a oc-
culted disk and what that would do to our strap
downs, because we - right on the heels of this we
had JOP 14D coming up for - coming up and I also
had to get ready for that. So timing there was
rather tight, and I think that last 31E was just
flat not performed except for 82A.

358 19 49 01 SPT Well, SPT back in again. Let me add two things.
First of all, it was a very impressive sight to
watch the disk being occulted. I can actually see
ridges in the Moon. I was actually seeing the
rough terrain structure at the very edge of the
Moon. And secondly, as far as trying to point,
because of the drift of the fine Sun sensor, that
proves not to be a problem. I found that if - for
the - while it covered 5 arc seconds, the size of
the 55 aperture slit, I was much better off just
leaving my hands off of it than I was trying to
hold anything in there. Had it been moving con-
siderably faster, that may have been different.
SO I chose, most of the time to Just line it up
and leave my hands off and I think it did a much
better job than I ever could have because it was
drifting slow enough.

to a request by the M509 people to re-record my
debriefing on - This is day 35, M509, HHMU famil-
iarization run. As I remember, I taped that - that
debriefing the evening - late in the evening of
mission day 35; however, I'll go ahead and Just
give you about the same information today. As I
remember, the discretionary maneuvers that were
assigned to Bill were curtailed in order to leave
enough gas and electricity for me to do a short
ram run in the SSM - with the _4U. As I remember,
about all I did was Just to move out into the center
of the - of the workshop area and Just generally
feel - feel the system out.
358 20 h3 53 CDR I did not try to do any - any of the standard

maneuvers, such as a baseline or a transfer or
anything like that. And let me look quickly at the
mission run number 1 and see what it says. I
essentially did the - the HHMU discretionary. That
is, I Just kind of thrashed around up there.
CDR Okay, I did do the HHMU checkout and cal, I believe.

That is, I flew to the center of the workshop and
flew the - the single access maneuvers - the yaw
left, the pitch up, the yaw right. And quite frankly,
I can't remember now. I've a1_eady forgotten all
that - that happened on that particular one. I
do remember, in my debriefing, mentioning the fact
that I - I found it to be easier to fly the HHMU
up here than down on the ground because I could
15Q5
feel the acceleration better and I could feel the

bodY and system response better. I think that's
one of the only shortcomings, and that's one of
only very few shortcomings in the six-degree-of-
feedom - freedom simulator at Denver, at
Martin-Denver.
358 20 _5 41 CDR I - I had a - I used about the same techniques and

about the same length of - of bursts as I did in
the six-degree-of-freedom simulator. I - I tried
metering my - m_ shuttle valve's thrust and staying
away from the m_ximum thrust, and it - it seemed
to work pretty well. I don't - don't remember
having any trouble with - with the rotation. As
I remember, I had more trouble with the translation
than the rotation, and in particular, it was the
Y-translations. I didn't seem to be able to thrust
in the Y-direction without getting a yaw. Roll,
I seem to have pretty well taken out, but - yaw,
I always manage to get - the doggone umbilical was
the problem. In fact, I mentioned that in my last
HHMU debrief, that in - for - for - for the over-
the-head roll position and over-the-head pitch
position and for the Y-translation position, the
umbilical was a definite hindrance that - that
bothered me quite a bit. It would be good if we
could work some other thing on that. I wonder -
I guess for the pressures we've got in the hose
there, it's probably impossible to have that
,-,bilical, say, strapped to your arm or something
like that. But if we could get the hose to be
flexcble enough, maybe umbilical strapped to your
arm would be the way to go.
CDR One thing that was a very pleasant thing about the
HHMU, and that was the fact that I didn't have to
wear that doggone lens, as we did in the six-degree-
of-freedom simulator. That was a - a great improve-
ment. Very enjoyable. However, the - the tasks -
the problems involved with moving yourself around
on the HHMU are still with us, and I think that they
still really pretty much negate the - the - the
usefulness of the HHMU. You spend too much time
fooling around getting from one place to another
or getting from one attitude to another. I think
that the - the gyro-stabilized or the att -
attitude-hold-type platform is really the way to go.
1506
358 20 48 14 CDR I prefer the CMG because it's quite a bit more
solid. But the thing is that you're not fiddling
around with attitude and trying to adjust everything
all the time. Your control inputs are very
straightforward. They're in the - in the hand
controller, and you're used to those inputs. And
the HHMU is Just, I'm afraid, a little bit too
primitive for the uses that I can see for this sort
of a unit in the future. As concerns the run I -
I flew, Bill was able to stay around for about l0
or 15 minutes, and then he had to leave. And I,
essentially, Just motored around the workshop by
myself. Can't remember what it is Bill had, but
he had some of an - he had some assignment that had
to be done at that time; so he Just left. And we
left the data recor - the dome camera going, and
we ran that out of film Just taking pictures,
finishing it up on me doing HHMU. I left the
telemetry up so that there's some data, I think,
available to you on how - on the telemetry.
358 20 _9 23 CDR And I in - I generally Just kind of messed around

after I did my single-axis maneuvers and tried to
see what it would take to get used to the HHMU. I -_
think that that was a good thing to do becasue on
run number 2 I was quite a bit ahead of the game;
felt a whole - a lot better about - about the HHMU.
I do remember complaining in the first HHU - HHMU
run about the - the grip and the fact that my arm
got so tired - my forearm and my wrist and my
hands - and the fact that I was ending up near the -
using two hands to - to control the - the HHMU
because the right hand was just getting too doggone
tired. And that's essentially it. And I also
have footnote for run number 2. I'm sure it will
be quite apparent in your data when you start strip-
ping it out, but we reu,ly - we really bungled up
here. On my first run, when it came to battery -
to battery and PSS change-out, we had 27 volts left
on the battery. And so I elected not to change the
battery and - and hoped - you know, planned on,
after the next baseline run, changing the battery.
Well, as luck would have it, I forgot, and the next
realization we came to after the battery - that
the battery was going to need changing was when the
WHEEL SPEED LOW light came on; so the depth of dis -
discharge on battery number 6 was - was very low.
1507
And I wonder - I - I hope we haven't hurt that

battery badly. It - it was not too hot. I felt
the battery after we took it out, and it didn't
feel too hot; but the voltage was very definitely
off-scale low. So I don't know Just exactly where
the voltage was on that thing, and I imagine we
probably ought to start thinking about charging
that again. I - If somebody doesn't mention
that to us sometime today, then I'm going to go
ahead and -and mention it to the ground and suggest
we start a charge on it.

went pretty well in the beginning. One thing I
noted, that on step 2 you've been putting in the
nu z update. And for me as well as for whoever has
to perform it while doing the ATM, I think that's
a good practice. I would never drop the one on
the pad for the fellow who's up at the ATM or leave
it out of someone's details if there is no one
there, because usuallythat nuz update is done,

say, 2 hours ahead of the time the - or B hours
ahead of the time the maneuver is done - 2 hours.
And, usually by that time, you're not thinking
about the maneuver; you're thinking about getting
the JOP S_immary Sheet squared away. And I'm sure

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, l0- no problem. Again, I was
worried at the very beginning because of the
ACQUISITION Sun SENSOR looking at the Sun, which
was partially occulted. But that turned out not
to be a problem because when we finally got there,
the comet came up. We were looking at position of
100 in X - plus 100 in X, plus 5_ in Y. And you
were pretty close to what you called it. I did
a maneuver to get it down to around 130. I gave
it a 52021, a 51030, 5005_, and 50000. That got
it down down far enough where we could see it ;
got it close to the X-axis and so that - -

you folks can get a look at it and see what I mean.
The WLC is not going to be the way to view the fine
details of the comet, although I am sure if it gets
in close, we'll at least be able to distinguish
enough of its features - features - which may be
also partially confirmed out the window- that we
can see some fairly good pointing.
CC ... if frame 1 is 60 seconds?
358 21 08 21 SPT The first building block 30 was done; that's

building block 30 Alfa.
CC Okay, Bill. That is the one we want to use.
SPT And we think that's the one that was called for.
1509
358 21 08 43 SPT We gave 56, however, a 25-minute exposure rather

than 13 - that's what they called for. I think
they called for that 13 because there was a trun-
cation in there for 52 which was a conflict at
18:48. But there is no reason why the A had to
stop observing. 82Bwas also observing. So we
left it going and got around a 25-minute exposure
on FILTER 3. Okay, real quick like then, we moved
on building block 30 Bravo.
SPT And at 19:00 even, we made a maneuver to - the

maneuver in the nucleus right in there, smd that
was a 52021, 50131, 50004, and 50000. I did put
the scale-factor correction in there. I figured
we actually had a maneuver in X of 136 and in oct -
in octal and decimal that's like a 94, which comes
out to be like an 89. When I multiplied it looks
95, which comes back out again to a 131, which is
what we ENTERED. But no - no scale-factor cor-
rection in Y, of course, because it was so small.
358 21 l0 41 CC SPT, Houston. We'd llke to have the DAS to issue

a COmmS nd.
•SPT Go ahead.
CC Okay. And I'll let you know when we're through.

Incidentally, I realize you're monitoring the
maneuver, but be sure not to forget the power
don - powerdown for unattended ops.
SPT Roger, Dick. Will do. Thanks for the reminder.
CC Okay.
SPT Standby; I will pick this up later.
CC ...
398 21 ii 34 SPT Thanks, Dick.
358 21 18 06 SPT SPT again at 21:18, picking up on the debriefing,

JOP 18 Delta. Okay, compensation maneuvers. We
made the maneuver into the nucleus at 19:00. So
compensation maneuvers were made at 19:20, 19:40,
20:00 hours even, 20:20, 20:40. And then at 20:50,
I again made a half of one - that is, 5000, 50002,
50000. I did that for a reason I'll mention in
1510
a moment. So building block 30 Bravo was carried

out as soon as we moved in. That was started a
minute ahead of time at 19:02. Got down below
400 K because the estimated time was - I figured
we could get going on it. However, even at that,
if we had to stop at 21, that gave us only a
19-minute exposure for 56. 82B got a 1-minute
LONG, a 5-minute LONG, and a 12-1/2-minute LONG
rather than their last 15, which they had re-
quested, for there's no way to maneuver in and
get there by that - and get it done in that length
of time. I thought, I' d rather get some accuracy
in the pointing than - than add a minute or 2 onto
the exposures. And 55, of course, we gave a
MIRROR, AUTO RASTER. And we did not notice any
significant counts throughout the - the whole
pointing - any of the pointing. Occasionally,
82 would flicker up, but it was never stabled.
358 21 20 25 SPT And stand by a moment agian.
358 21 23 19 SPT Okay, once again SPT, at 21:24. Let's talk about
a building block 30 Bravo, 52. Repeating your ex-
posures roughly every 5 minutes. I'm going to
have to get better on that - finding out a way of
planning, myself, here. I had one at 19:04, 19:09,
19:13, 19:17, and 19:21. I cut the deltas down to
4 minutes rather than 5, to squeeze that last one
in. Okay, then we had sunset - or comet-set. And
I made that last compensation maneuver at 20:20,
before comet-rise. At 20:21 I made a maneuver of
52021, 51124, 50000, 50000, and sure enough, it
showed up right out there at 130 - plus 130 on the
display. However, it was at a position of minus 5
in Y, which I assume would've been a little bit too
large for - it did surprise me becasue it seemed -
Essentially what that was, had I not made that last
entry, I would have been right on. So I am wonder-
ing whether we had something wrong with the com-
pensation maneuvers which was - were planned, be-
cause we were exactly 5 off. Now it would be
useful, if you could, to go back over and check
the compensation maneuvers themselves Just to make
sure that they did go in properly. Sometimes I
have given it other times, because I recalled
putting them in and checking them off.
1511
358 21 25 44 SPT Okay, so I made the maneuver then which would cen-
ter the nucleus. That was at 52021, 50124, 51005,
50000. That maneuver was done at 20:07 and allowed
us to get going with the building block at 20:08.
Rates had died out; we were all set to go. S056
received a 45-minute exposure in FILTER, 3, LONG.
82B received a 45-minutes exposure in WAVELENGTH,
LONG. However, at the very beginning I was concen-
trating on the long 45-minute one and neglected
their 20; so I made the 20 at the very end while
I finished the 45, and that's the reason I put in
the small half - half a compensation Just to make
sure that we had moved that up - the nucleus - as
close as we could to the 82B SLIT for that short
but - SHORT EXPOSURE of 20 seconds. So 82B got
what they requested, omly in inverted order. 52
received exposures again every - roughl_v every
5 minutes. I say roughly because there was one
period there when I got a 5-minute to open up a
little bit more. Made one ... out to 20:59. I
gave one as late as I could, Just before we closed
all the doors and started back. Okay, maneuver
back: Straightforward. I take an 82B here -
- WAVELENGTH, SHORT; 5-second exposure - before we'd
maneuver back. I remembered it at that time, and
I got it going and checked it off. And the power-
down, unattended - The enly reason I did not do
that at the very end as we were moving back is,
I was busy debriefing, as I am now.
3_8 21 28 12 SPT But that's all done now. We're back and Just wait-
ing for sunup. Let the Sun update the - aim the
ACQ SUN SENSORS and update the ... and we ought to
be back in business. I never noticed any gimbals
getting in trouble at all. It looked to be good
all the way through. The times I did check, HT
occasionally got up there, and I - we had some
desat firings, I believe. Not a hellacious amount
- it all - because it all went pretty well. My
only disappointment so far is to not to be able to
see anything with 55.
SPT I did gauge the image persistence - persistent

image scope along with the XUV monitor. Tried
unusually long INTEGRATIONs, and all I got was a
lot of noise in the center of the tube plus one
or two slightly burned-in spots in the tube,
f
1512
which showed up, but, unfortunately, no comet or

8_nything which would indicate a long linear fea-
ture going in the right direction or even a bright
spot. On H-ALPHA I tried the same thing, of course,
although I could not integrate. I didn't expect
to see anything, and - and I was not surprised.
358 21 29 50 SPT So we're relatively happy the way these things have
been turning out, and I hope the data is as good
as the maneuvering and the ability to get ourselves
there.
358 21 29 59 SPT SPT out.

Astronaut Office. Joe, I've made, from time to time,
some comments about light flashes. Is there anybody
in the world who's interested in these things other
than perhaps my psychiatrist, who's going to talk
to me about it when I get back? I've been giving
an awful lot of information to Bob Parker from time
to time on them, including your - frequency of
occurrence and relation to solar flares - both the
magnitude and the quality of them in relation to
the type of activities you'd expect in, oh, a number
of things. And if anyone's intere_'_ted in these
things, I'll - I'll go so far as to keep my eyes
closed and see what else I can see. If not, then
I'll go on to more productive things. Merry
Christmas.

step I - i Alfa, completed per pad, one anomaly.
When I took the last 82 Alfa at 20-second EXPOSURE,
SHORT, I did not get a frame decrement. I was
unable - I didn't have sufficient time to complete
1 Bravo. I'm sort of - I think we may have gotten
our signals crossed here on this. There wasn't
enough time to complete 1 Bravo, so I didn't get
the single exposures called for in the rest of the
pad. I'm not quite sure exactly what all that
meant there. In any event, the powerdown to
unattended was performed with the exceptions that
are called out on the pad.

they Just never have us open that one up again,
do they? We were running off of A all the time,
apparently, huh?
CDR Yes, I think so.

less than i0. 1 and 2, I want LOW VENT FLOW
lights off; verify. EV-1 and 2, are your LOW VENT
FLOW lights off?
359 16 19 33 PLT Verify for 1,
CDR Verify for 2.
SPT Toggle valve A going OPEN. Okay, EV-1, proceed to

AM, enter head first. No, wait a minute - hold
on - hold on. Toggle valve A, CLOSE. I've got
to go back here now. Now here's the note which you
were concerned about. I've got to hustle into the
AM here and out the other side. And buried behind
this panel -
PLT Trying to get the condensate line, huh?
SPT Yes. I looked at it last night. I wish I could

have done this earlier, because it's kind of awk-
ward right now.
PLT Naturally - with all that equipment in there.
SPT Yes.
PLT Careful you don't cut your hands in there because

that's - -
359 16 20 31 SPT Okay, let's see. Disconnect CONDENSATE HOLDING

TANK inlet QD. Install cap on port. Temporary
stow tank inlet hose. All right. Let me get this.
It's going to be hard to put the QD back on here.
Oh boy. You got no way to work, no leverage.
Nothing to hold on to. Okay, there it is. Now
I'll come around the other side and temporarily
stow that line.
PLT Watch your feet when you go back there.
SPT Yes. Okay. Okay, AM-I is going to he - or EV-I

is the first guy going to be coming in here. Let
me maneuver on over here and temporarily stow this
fellow out of the way.
CDR Bill, you could go on out and be ready to go in.

1525
SPT That's probably your speaker box in which I'm -

got the interference with.
CDR Yes.
SC (Squeal)
SPT You're Just going to have to tolerate it for a

few seconds here. Okay.
359 16 22 02 PLT Okay. Well, I'm going to pull this down a little
further, becau -
SPT Yes, make sure it clears - Is that - I think it's

enough to clear the hatch, is it not?
PLT Well, I'll pull it down just a little.
SPT Okay. Yes.
PLT That was easy, but that wasn't a very big deal.
SPT Oh boy. By the time you get two hoses in here,

it's going to - kind of get complexin a hurry.
PLT Well, unless they have - They must have a good

reason for this.
SPT Oh, yes.
CDR I think it was probably to protect the delta-P in

the tank.
SPT Oh, yes. There's a good reason for it. Okay.
PLT Snap here.
359 16 22 59 SPT Now. Okay, now let me turn that toggle valve back
on. And you still don't have a LOW VENT FLOW, do
you?
CDR The EV-2 doesn't.
PLT EV-1 does not.
SPT Okay. Toggle valve A is OPEN. Okay, EV-1, pro-

ceed to the AM. Enter head first. And hold on.
As you do it, I got to put your umbilical in the
sphere. Just a minute, I'll have to tuck my
1526
checklist behind the - up in here. Hold on, Bill.

Just take your time.
PLT I'm - I'm taking my time. All I'm trying to do

is - -
SPT Are you on this one?
PLT I don't know,
SPT Well, let's just see here.
359 16 23 42 CDR Bill's is in the one that goes to panel 317, Ed.
SPT Okay, and it should say right on the l_mbilical.
CDR His umbilical is number - number 7, I believe.
SPT Yes. Okay, Bill, Just hold on where you are, Just
don't move at all. And we'll tuck you in right
here.
PLT Okay, wait Just a minute.
SPT Okay.
CDR Looks like they're crossed.
SPT Well, let's see now. That's crossed with you and -
Hold on. Just a minute. Stay still, Bill. There
we are. Okay?
CDR All right. I'll pull mine out of the way here.
Okay, I've got mine out of the way.
359 16 24 37 SPT Yes. Let's Just see - This is you, Jer, right
here?
CDR Yes.
SPT So, this one is going to have to go in. So I'll

tell you what. Can you put it under Bill, over
on this side?
CDR I can.
SPT Okay, Bill, lift up.

1527
PLT There.
SPT Okay. Then your arm. There you go.
CDR All right, and I'll hold it here so it doesn't

get in your way,
359 16 24 56 SPT Okay, now I can put Bill in here. Jer, I could
probably stow some of yours if you like. Oh, I
have to read to put the - Let me Just read the
procedure. I don't have the book with me.
CDR Okay.
SPT Okay, Bill, you probably got about as much in there

as you want in there. Okay, EV-2. Okay, first of
all, EV-1 rotate to EVA egress position, feet to-
wards the MDA.
PLT Okay, that's in work.
SPT Okay. EV-2, move to the OWS hatch. EV-Bmanage

EV-2 ISU and stow in aft compartment. And then I
move to the STS.
359 16 25 h3 CDR I'm watching you, Ed. I'm trying to get into a
position to minimize the space I take up. But I
don't want to kick any of those instruments.
SPT Yes. Just a minute and I'll help you there, Bill.
Don't make a move.
CDR Ed, you know I think I can manage my own umbilical

into this aft compartment.
SPT Well - -
CDR I'll just feed it right in here while you help

Bill.
SPT All right. I'm watching you.
CDR Okay.
SPT Bill, you stay to your right. Your instruments

are a_] to your left. If you stay right up - You
can kick that wall all you want, but don't do any-
thing behind you and to your left. So as long as
1528
you stay staring at panel 223, everything in front

of you is clear.
359 16 26 26 CDR Okay, Ed, my umbilical is in the aft compartment

now.
SPT Oh, okay. Let me take a look at Bill here just a

minute. Bill, you're tangled up. Let me do this
to you. Make a 180 - Just like this. Let go.
There you are. There you are. Now you're look-
ing - now you're looking good. And I'll finish -
I'll get that umbilical in here. Okay, Jer, you
think you can get in there and -
CDR Yes. I'll wait until you get back to your check-
list.
359 16 26 55 SPT All right. Okay, Bill, I think we've got you nice
and tidy now. You're all squared away. You can
see your umbilical coming offby your left elbow
and it goes straight over into the - straight over
into the - -
PLT Now I got it. -
SPT Okay. 0ws hatch closure,
PLT Okay, let me get in then.
SPT Well - -
CDR I think I'll go along with you.
SPT Okay, you close up that aft hatch now. Okay, Jer,
first thing what you do is you inspect the hatch
seal for obstructions. You put the R_T._&SE H__NDLE
to UNLOCK.
359 16 27 h5 CDR Okay. Stand by. I'll inspect.
359 16 28 17 CDR Okay, the seal is clean. The RELEASE HANDLE is to

UNLOCK.
SPT Okay. HATCH HANDLE to OPEN.
CDR Okay, now the thing here is to watch and see that
I don't get tangled in my umbilical.
1529
SPT Watch your feet, because you're getting T025.
CDR Right.
SPT Move your feet towards the center of the compart-

me nt.
CDR How' s that?
SPT That's a little bit better. You - you got lots

of umbilical, but it doesn't -doesn't look
tied in knots or anything.
PLT Okay.
359 16 28 hh SPT I think you're relatively clear.
CDR All right, what 's next?
SPT Okay, you released it from the wall. Now close

hatch while entering aft lock. Hold hatch against
seal.
CDR Okay.
PLT Say, troops?
SPT Yes, what?
PLT Oh, there are the tools. Okay. Because I said

I stowed Jet's EVA tools.
SPT Yes, Jerry, are you sure we got all the EVA tools
in here?
CDR Yes, I put them back in.
PLT Well, wait a minute.
CDR They're in the other box up here by this light

without the red tape around it.
PLT Okay.
CDR Off to your right. Check it and make sure, Bill.
359 16 29 16 PLT That - that's the one with the pull tabs I put on?
1530
SPT Ye s. Un-huh.
PLT There it is. Okay, press on.
SPT Okay. Is there anything else you can think of?
PLT Nope. That was all.
359 16 29 27 SPT Okay, we've covered it all in the checklist. RE-

LEASE HANDLE to UNLOCK, HATCH HANDLE to EQUALIZE.
CDR Okay, that 's in work.
SPT EQUALIZE PRESSURE, now the dogs engage.
CDR Let's see, UNLOCK - -
SPT Then HATCH HANDLE to EQUALIZE PRESSURE.
CDR That 's done.
SPT RELEASE HANDLE to UNLOCK, which was just what we

called, and then HATCH HANDLE to CLOSE.
PLT Slip-back operation there, Jet.
CDR Say again?
359 16 30 01 PLT It sort of works peculiar, if you haven't - The

pocket it slips in - The little feedback slips
back.
SPT Needless to say, we could have had more training

on that one.
PLT Through the sequence.
SPT Jer, let me read these things again to you.
CDR Okay.
SPT Okay, we start off - we hold the hatch against the

seal, and you got the HATCH K_NDLE, OPEN, and the
RELW_SE HJhNDLE to UNLOCK.
CDE Okay.
1531
SPT Okay. Now assuring again that the RET2&SE HANDLE

engages to UNLOCK, you put the HATCH HANDLE to
EQUALIZE PRESSURE.
359 16 30 37 CDR Okay, that's where it is right now. And now the
RELEASE HANDLE has shifted over to LOCK.
SPT NOW you move that to UNLOCK again. Okay?
CDR All right. I d/d it.
SPT Now HATCH HANDLE to CLOSE.
CDR All right, it's CLOSEd.
SPT Now, RELEASE HANDLE to LOCK. Verify.
359 16 30 51 CDR LOCKed and verified.
SPT Okay. Assume EVA egress position, feet toward

the MDA.
CDR Right. Okay, it doesn't say anything about put-

tingthispip pin in,huh?
SPT No, nothing about a pip pin. Which one is it?
CDR Well, there's a little pip pin that holds the

RELEASE HANDLE in the LOCK position. I put it in.
SPT Okay. Okay. Okay, AM forward hatch closure.

EV-3, unstow VC tree and pass to EV-1, handle
first. That's in Work.
359 16 31 41 SPT Okay, handle coming at you and at the bottom is

the - usually fits right in. Here. As a matter
of fact, I'll wind it up for you, and then all
you got to do is drive it home. Okay, Just drive
her home. Get down. Make sure it's locked. Did
the HANDLE UNLOCK first? There they go. Okay,
and it's locked. Okay, EV-1, hold VC tree. And
got - VC tree - I don't know what - Release for-
ward hatch. Press equalization valve cap. Stow
and verify. All right, let me do this 311. Re-
lease forward hatch. It's released. Press equal-
ization valve cap. This one stowed and verified.
I guess that's over on the other side.
PLT (Laughter) So - those hatches.

1532
359 16 32 56 SPT Yes. I tell you, we could have used a little more
hatch work in training.
PLT Yes.
SPT Okay, inspect hatch seal - or PRESSURE EQUALIZATION

VALVE, OPEN - and - and that is OPEN. Verified.
PLT What's bad about it, you know that they installed
one of them wrong at the factory.
SPT Inspect hatch seal for obstruction. And that's

what I'm doing right now.
SPT Okay, it looks good and clean, feels good and clean
all the way around. Okay.
CDR Bill, are you holding the VC tree?
SPT PRESSURE EQUALIZATION VALVE.
PLT Negative.
359 16 33 51 SPT Yes, you're going to have to, Bill, You're going
to have to take that out again be - for me to close
the hatch. I was Just thinking about it.
PLT Yes, you're right. I recall.

SPT Hatch seal - hatch closed, HATCH HANDLE, CLOSED.
And then you can install that tree. Clears up -
there's just a little bit of a clearance problem
there.
PLT There you go.
SPT Okay, have a good one. Now HATCH HANDLE, CLOSED.

Now, wait a minute - wait a minute - wait a min-
ute. Hold on - PRESS EQUALIZATION VALVE, OPEN,
we got. We got inspected - I've CLOSED the hatch
and it says HATCH HANDLE, CLOSED. Now we don't
have one on this side, do we?
CDR Yes, you do. Up on the side. Up around the edge

on the bulkhead.
359 16 34 49 SPT All right, let me take a look. Oh, there it is.
No wonder, it's hidden, durn thing.
_ 1533
PLT There you go, you got it.
CDR Darn it.
SPT Hey, Jer, last time did you operate with the lights
on your - on you - all the time?
CDR Yes.
359 16 35 04 SPT Okay. Okay, my - that HANDLE is CLOSEd.
PLT That DAC might be in the way there.
SPT Okay, install tree in receptacle, EV-1 and 2.

317 and 323, install wrist tethers on right arm.
PLT Okay?
SPT Or your preference.
359 16 35 23 CDR Bill, let me get back here behind you and assume
my position.
PLT Okay. Tell me if I'm in your way; tell me to

move.
CDR Okay. All right. Now you're on 3 - 317 and I'm

on 323?
SPT Install wrist tethers on right arm.
CDR Okay.
SPT Tell me when you're complete.
CDR I don't have a wrist tether.
PLT Here, take this one. I've brought all the ones
up that were hidden.
SPT Jer, if you need one, there's one around on the

other side by the 193 antenna.
CDR (Laughter)
PLT I'll tell you what. I'll take one first.
SPT Jer?
1534
359 16 36 15 CDR All right. I'ii get one off a piece of equip-
ment when the time comes.

PLT I'm sorry, read that again, Ed.
SPT MODE SELECT hardover in DELTA-P.
CDR Verified for EV-2.
PLT Just a second. Okay.
SPT It's a little hard with that - cover on it.
PLT EV-1 - -
SPT Okay. Verify - -

1535
PLT Would you - I don't understand what you mean. You

mean just push it all the way?
359 16 37 41 CDR Yes. Making sure it's all the way over.
PLT Okay.
SPT Make sure it's all the way over in DELTA-P, and
that's hard with your PCU deflector on there.
PLT Yes, I understand. Okay I got it. EV-l's done.
359 16 37 47 SPT Verify cuff gage stable, 3.6 to 3.9.
PLT EV-1, 3.75.
CDR Okay, EV-2 is 3.8.
SPT PRESS select to BOTH. Verify no change in cuff

gage or displays.
PLT EV-1 to BOTH and verify no change.
f CDR EV-2, verify no change.
SPT Okay, we're coming up to an SOP flow check. EV-1

and 2. SOP 02 valve OPEN. Verify valve lock in
detent. Assist each other.
CDR This is something you really ought to be able to

do yourself. Okay, EV-2's is OPEN. Get yours
okay, Ed - Bill?
PLT Yes. Stand by.
359 16 38 32 SPT Make sure it's locked in the detent position.
CDR Yes. It's locked.

SPT Okay, tell me when you're done, Bill.
PLT I will. Okay, it's in the OPEN and I believe it's

t_ in the detent.
1536
SPT Okay, now, I'll read you a few things here first.
Perform following SOP flow check rapidly to con-
serve SOP 02 . EV-1, note: Possible slight cuff
gage decrease and SOP light on around the 0.1 psi.
359 16 39 12 SPT First of all, on 317 you're going to go SUS 1 02
SUPPLY valve, CLOSEd. You'll get a tone and an

SOP FLOW. You'll verify medium pressure gage is
around 27 to 45, then SUS 1 02 SUPPLY valve OPEN,
and SOP FLOW light, off. Okay, I'll read it -
read you through it as you do it.
PLT Just a minute. I want to get all these ... out

of the way.
SPT Essentially, all you got to do is get yourself

lined up on SUS 1 02 SUPPLY valve and be able to
read your medium pressure gage. Those are the
only two things you're working with.
PLT And I want to verify what on the medium pressure

gage?
359 16 39 52 SPT That you're between 27 and h5 psig.
PLT And I got that, but I want to verify that while

the flow is on, right?
SPT That's right.
PLT Okay, I'm going to do it.
SPT Okay, I'll read you. SUS 1 02 SUPPLY valve, CLOSEd.
CDR Okay, I'm looking at your pressure too, Bill.
PLT And it's good and I'm - -
SPT Okay, did you put a tone and an SOP FLOW?
PLT Got an SOP FLOW and SUS i is OPEN again.
SPT Okay.
PLT SOP is out.

f_ 1537
SPT Okay. EV-2.
359 16 40 18 CDR You want me to do the same thing, huh?
SPT On 323, repeat the flow check for SUB 2.
PLT Out of your way.
CDR All right.
PLT You want me to read it for you, Jer?
CDR No, I don't think you need to.
PLT Let me see, I don't think I can see yours there,

Jer. It's - -
CDR You probably can't. I think you'll be on the

wrong side of me. Okay, this is SUS 2 02 SUPPLY
that is going to come off. Here it goes now. I
got good pressure, got an SOP FLOW light. Going
back to OPEN. And it's OPEN and locked.
SPT Okay, now here's a good one.
359 16 40 58 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear through

the Vanguard for l0 minutes.
SPT Okay, here's one you want to do well. Visually

inspect neckring, SOP, and four PCU connectors
are locked.
CDR Okay. Let me do you first, Bill. Don't hover

over to your right. We're Jammed up. Move for-
ward. All right. If you'll Just do a pirouette
toward me.
SPT ...
CDR Your neckring looks real good.
PLT All right, let me look at my rings here. Looks

good.
CDR All right. Now let me check your PCU plugs. All
right, the three are locked, your water plug's
1538
in good. All right, now the thing left to look

at is wrists. Okay, my right wrist is good.
359 16 h2 01 SPT Houston, EV-3 with a comm check.
PLT And _ wrists are good.
CDR Okay.
PLT Let me take a look at the back of your neckring,

just to make sure.
CDR All right.
PLT Looks real good.
359 16 42 l0 CC Ed, Houston.
PLT Okay, looks fine.
SPT Go ahead.
359 16 42 16 CC Ed, on the S020 ops and the T025 ops, I used the
exposure sequences that are in the EVA Check-
list as opposed to the cue card. Don't use the
cue cards.
SPT Roger, Story. I have the cue cards here available,

if required, but I plan to go right through the
checklist as you called. Very good. Thank you.
359 16 42 33 CDR Okay, Ed, all of the neckring/wristrings have been

checked, and the PCU - the valves are all checked
and locked.
SPT Okay, we're coming up on the AM depress. If cuff

gage drops below 3.6 psig during depress, LOCK
COMPARTMENT DEPRESS VALVE, CLOSEd and EV-3 hatch
PRESS EQUALIZATION VALVE, OPEN.
CDR Okay, say again the pressure.
SPT That's at 3.6.
CDR 3.6, okay.
SPT See if you get a cuff gage going below 3.6 when
you're both de - depress.
1539
CDR Okay.
359 16 43 08 SPT Okay, let me make sure we got everything on this

page. Okay, you're set. EV-3 forward hatch EQUAL-
IZATION VALVE going CLOSEd. Okay, that's CLOSEd
now. It's spring loaded and it's LOCKed.
359 16 43 23 SPT EV-1 and 2, note: If LOW VENT FLOW light comes
on before depress complete, FLOW select to EVA
NORM.
359 16 43 32 SPT During depress, cuff gage may read 4.1 ms,x in
DELTA-P MODE.
CDR Okay.
SPT Okay, you both understand that, or you want me to

do it again?
CDR No, I got that.
PLT No, we got it.
- 359 16 h3 41 SPT Okay, EV-3, if the rate of climb indicator ex-

ceeds lO0 feet per minute - -
CDR Notice what the bias is now, Ed; it's slightly

biased before your ... - -
SPT I got to find - There it is. Yes, it's reading

around 30 right now already.
CDR Yes.
SPT Okay, Just kind of mentally record that bias. If

rate of climb indicator exceeds lO0 feet per min-
ute or gives CAUTION/WARNING alert, RAPID DELTA-P,
PPO 2 LOW, or CLUSTER PRESSURE LOW, tell EV-1 to
CLOSE LOCK COMPARTMENT DEPRESS VALVE. Okay, so
I'll be watching out for those things; you may get
a call from me. EV-1, 318, LOCK COMPARTMENT and
DEPRESS VALVEs, OPEN.
359 16 4h 24 PLT In work. Okay, pressure holding, 3.75.
PLT Jer, how do you read?
CDR Loud and clear.

154o
PLT Okay.
CDR Still holding at 3.8.
PLT Okay.
PLT Up.
CDR Still 3.8.
SPT Rate of climb looks good in here. Okay, you're

going down. We got - in the forward, 5.5; 5.4 in
the OWS. Aft compartment is about 3.5. Okay, you
may want to watch an ice buildup here, Bill.
SPT EV-I - -
PLT ...
SPT - - EV-I is going to remove the screen from the

depress valve after ice buildup to complete the
depress; somewhere around i01 psi, as I recall.
PLT It's forming right now; we'll just wait and see
how it gets.
CDR That's quite clear.
PLT What?
SPT Okay, just keep her coming.
CDR Did you say it's heavy?
PLT Oh, yes, it's - it's pretty - it's pretty soft.
SPT I got the wrong light - -
CDR Oh, yes, you're right.
359 16 46 16 PLT Do we still have ...?
SPT Yes, you're sitting there at 3.2 right now.
PLT Yes, it's - it's still dropping.
SPT Okay, let her drop as much as she can before you
remove that.
1541
CDR Oh, yes, now it's solidifying.
SPT Hey, Jet, let me get something before you get

outside there. The only way I can talk to ground
is to hit the TRANSMIT on speaker box?
CDR You should be able to do it on a comm cable there.
SPT Okay. I try to - -
359 16 h6 56 CDR You should have a comm cable routed from, I be-
lieve, 102 or 126 over to where you are so that
you don't have to reach over to a co_ box to
punch.
SPT Well, okay, I'll take a look. I was not - that

was not done that I know. I'll look around here.
359 16 h7 16 CDR That's part of the kludge setup. Look at the -

look at the drawing in there that shows the kludge,
and I think it'll show you where your mike key is
and what it hooks up to.
SPT All right.
359 16 47 32 PLT Okay, we're about 9.75.
CDR It's a good garbage collector, doesn't it?
PLT Yes.
359 16 47 49 CC Skylab, we're hearing you discuss the comm manage-

ment and we think you should have a CCU for Ed
hooked up to 102 and then he can hit the TRANSMIT
part of that CCU to talk to us.
CDR Right, that's what I thought. He's checking that

now.
SPT Roger; that's in work, Story.
CC Okay, need a page number, 1.2-3.
SPT Thank you.
CDR Let me take ...
PLT ...
f_
1542
359 16 48 58 SPT Okay, you're down to around 2.1 or so; just be

patient.
PLT Okay.
SPT How's the ice look, pretty heavy?
PLT Actually it's - it's sort of mounding ***
CDR I'll tell you what, 75 to 80 percent of it's covered

now.
PLT Yes, at least.
359 16 49 21 CDR About i/8-inch ambulance all the way around the
outer edge of the screen, it's still clear. And
one little hole about halfway in. That's about
a quarter of an inch in diameter - -
PLT And it's starting to shrink away now. Looks -

about 1.7 now.
359 16 50 33 CDR How's the old Coolanol system looking, Houston?
CC It's looking good, Jet.
CDR I sure can see how we can appreciate this water

cooling. I'd hate to be going out gas cooled.
CC Roger that.
359 16 51 08 CC Skylab, we're 30 seconds LOS and about 6 minutes

to Ascension.
CDR Roger; see you then.
SPT Houston, how do you read EV-3?
CC Ed, that's good.
SPT Thank you, Story.
359 16 51 59 SPT Okay, it all looks good in here. You're just

about one - You may want to remove that screen and
hustle it; let the rest get out.
PLT Okay, that's in work.

CDR *** you start the clock, Ed?
SPT You start the clock when you open the hatch.
CDR Okay.
359 16 52 54 SPT On 316, Jerry, you want to monitor your - your

pressure in the lock to stabilize pressure of, or
less than, 0.3 psi before hatch opening.
CDR Okay, we 're at about 0.4 now.
SPT Okay.
359 16 53 58 CDR Okay, Bill, we're at 0.25 now.
SPT Okay, let me record a little bit of time here.

Okay, I got - call it 16:5h, we're going to go
into hatch opening.
359 16 54 22 CDR Okay, let's go.

SPT Hold it, hold it, Story.
CC - - right to the left of the ... switch.
CDR-KVA Hold on, let him get the first one first, Story.
CC Okay.
359 16 58 17 CDR-EVA Start all over, Story, and read to us - leave

S enoughtime in betweeneachone.
1546
SPT All right, all right, we got SCS.
CC Okay, on panel 8, SCS, AC-I. Check if that circuit

breaker is in. If it's not in, push it in.
359 16 58 29 SPT It is in.
CC That's in the upper leftmost corner of panel 8.
SPT Tell them it's in.
CDR-EVA Okay, it's in.
SPT I did not have to push it in.
CDR-EVA It was already in.
CC One other to check is SCS SYSTEM, MAIN A. That's

in the third row Just to the left of the flood-
light switches. SCS SYSTEM, MAIN A.
CDR-EVA Okay, he's checking that.
SPT SCS SYSTEM, MAIN A.
CDR-EVA Right.
359 16 58 56 SPT Okay, that is - that is in and I did not have to

push it in.
CDR-EVA Okay, both circuit breakers were in.
CC Thank you.
SPT Okay, let me get back here. Okay, and it says I'm
supposed to monitor radiation with RSM, okay.
Verify RAD per hour during EVA.
359 16 59 15 CC And that's all we've got for you in the command
module.
SPT All right.
CDR-EVA Okay, are the BMAGs okay? Is BMAG 1 okay, Story?
CC We've still got an indication that we've got no

spin - spin motor on BMAG l, but we're looking at
it.
___ 15h7
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay, we're going now to the EVA, for the EVA-2.
Standby. AM egress, note contam_uation, EV-1
and EV-2, co,,,,ent on any observed dispersion
pattern - -
CC There's no need to acknowledge but we're not

planning any troubleshooting on that. That's a
backup to the backup.
359 17 00 01 SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay, this is the EV-2. When we opened the hatch,

I saw a lot of contamination move out, but I don't
see any now. Bill, do you see any?
PLT-EVA I just see a few bits and pieces around. I - I

don't think I've seen over three particles.
SPT Okay, you're looking for contamination, dispersion

patterns,or OWS waste vent plume duringEVA.
359 17 00 22 CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay, AM - egress AM head first, that's EV-1, face

toward foot restraints.
PLT-EVA That's in work.
SPT And EV-2, manage his umbilical.
CDR-EVA Okay. Just a minute, Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA All right. Okay.
359 17 01 15 PLT-EVA EV-1 is in the foot restraints.
SPT Okay, ingress VF foot restraints with left hand;

you've got. Clamp own LSU at approximately 9 feet.
PLT-EVA In work.
SPT And then we want both - from both of you an EMU

status check.
1548
PLT-EVA Okay. Stand by; 9 feet.
CDR-EVA There's l0 coming up. See it?
PLT-EVA Yes. What that 7 is for there?
CDR-EVA That's the number of your umbilical.
359 17 01 45 PLT-EVA Yes. Okay, my umbilical is connected, and EV-1

has got 3.6 and all lights are out.
CDR-EVA Okay, EV_2 is 3.67 and all lights are out.
SPT Okay, SO20 ops. Unstow 8020, verify mounting brack-

et is fully opened, Place VACUUM VALVE/SHUTTER
CONTROL to VENT; allow 15 seconds to vent.
PLT-EVA All right.
CDR-EVA Let me get 20 first, and then read that stuff again.
359 17 02 16 PLT-EVA Down by your left knee.
CDR-EVA Okay. Okay. I have 20 in my hand, Ed. Now read

me - -
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA - - the other words again.
SPT Place VACUUM VALVE/SHUTTER CONTROL to VENT; allow

15 seconds to vent.
CDR-EVA All right, that's in work.
PLT-EVA Tell me when. I'ii give you the 15 seconds.
CDR-EVA It's in VENT.
PLT-EVA Okay, stand by.
359 17 03 i0 PLT-EVA MARK; 15 seconds.
CDR-EVA Continue on, Ed.
SPT Okay. Verify film advance knob at S.
CDR-EVA Okay, stand by. That's verified.

1549
SPT Place the VACUUM VALVE/SHUTTER CONTROL to SHUTTER

OPEN.
CDR-EVA Okay, that's in work. Okay, it's in OPEN.
SPT Uncover boresighter.
CDR-EVA In work.
CDR-EVA That little bitty knob is murder. Okay, it's

uncovered.
SPT Okay, pass S020 to EV-I.
CDR-EVA In work.
SPT Tether S020, EV-I should tether S020 and mount on

far side of ATM truss with D-I handrail, just inside
the start of handrail, and tighten the clamp. Would
you like for me to read that again, Bill? I can - -
359 17 04 44 PLT-EVA I will when I get it.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA Okay, just a sec; let me tether that.
CDR-EVA There's a handle underneath for you. Let me turn

it over. There you go.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay. You've got it tethered to him. Now what's

next again?
SPT Okay, tether the S020 and mount on far side of ATM
truss with D-I handrail, Just inside the start of
the handrail; tighten clamps.
359 17 05 25 PLT-EVA Okay, l'm going to have to change this.
PLT-EVA I want that on the other arm. It's in work, Ed.
SPT Okay, tell me when you're complete.
PLT-EVA Okay, l'm going to have to take it off now. l've

got it in position.
1550
CDR-EVA Did you get your tether off?
PLT-EVA Yes, just a second, l'm tightening it down. Okay,

I can take the tether off now; I got it tightened
on the truss and I don't want to lose this tether.
SPT Okay, when you're sure you've got the clamp tight,
then remove the tether, verify - -
359 17 06 43 PLT-EVA I - I - I want to -
PLT-EVA Okay, what's next?
SPT Okay. The next thing for Bill is to verify the

bracket ball joint is free enough to allow experi-
ment pointing.
PLT-EVA It's in work.
359 17 07 i0 CDR-EVA Boy, that thing really reflects the light, doesn't
it, Bill?
PLT-EVA Sure does. That's mean.
PLT-EVA Okay, Ed I - ! may have to make an adjustment

on the clamp that's on the truss, but l'm trying
to get it in there as close as I could.
SPT Well, okay. Make sure you got it lined up first.

I'ii read you the next step. You may - you may
want to go back.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 17 07 26 SPT Adjust S020 until coarse - that's the small -

solar image as seen in the boresighter, then con-
tinue adjustments until the fine (that's the
large) solar image is visible on the boresighter.
PLT-EVA Okay, now just - l'm going to have to come out my

foot restraints for tmat. And that's going to
take me just a couple of minutes. So just hold
on.
SPT Ah, there you are, William.
PLT-EVA There you go.

1551
359 17 08 29 PLT-EVA Oh, just what I thought. I'm going to have to

move it out a little bit. Can't quite get it in
the center.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA That ought to do it. Let's see, I want to keep

it in this - another one down here.
CC Ed, Houston.
SPT Go ahead.
359 17 08 5_ CC Ed, we're hearing your S020 pointing comments, and

you got about 5 minutes of day remaining here.
You'll be managing the exposures om that and when
you come over stations, we'd like to keep up with
you on those exposures. Maybe we can help you out
some there.
359 17 09 15 P_-EVA l'm getting quite a bit of interference, so l'm

going to have to move it again.
s- SPT Okay, Story,we'll try - sure try and keep you

posted where we go. I noticed that the highest
priority exposure is the 60-minute one, and I assume
that - that's the one they're going to be wanting
us to start first. So I have the event timer set
up in here, and I just plan to get the event timer
counting down to 60 - or counting down from 60
and cut it off whenever we have to go into dark-
ness and pick it up again whenever we come into
light.
359 17 09 41 SPT And I plan to use the - the 40 K time which we have
on the event timer as a gage for that. And I'm
wondering if that's satisfactory to those folks.
Like right now, l'm sure we have exactly 4 min-
utes -
359 17 09 57 SPT MARK, remaining in day.
CC Ed, that sounds like a good way to go on S020.
PLT-EVA Didn't get the job done. Not quite enough move-
ment in that ball joint.
SPT Okay.
1552
PLT-EVA l'm going to have to adjust it once more.
CC And, Ed, in case you need to reconfigure the PRIMARY

COOLANT LOOP for any reason when we're LOS, we're
presently operating on INVERTER number 2, PUMP B
and C, Bravo and Charlie.
359 17 i0 54 SPT INVERTER 2 and Bravo and Charlie, thank you.
CC Yes, sir.
PLT-EVA Boy, I barely have the - I don't quite have enough

freedom of travel in that ball joint to get the
thing exactly centered.
CDR-EVA Ed, what's my next experiment to get ready? 25?
359 17 ii 36 SPT Okay, hold on here, Jer. Let me - let me look

ahead. This is - We're going to he juggling quite
a few of them here apparently. T025 - -
CC Skylab, we're 40 seconds to LOS - -
CDR-EVA Okay.
CC We'll be over Guam in about 27 minutes_at 17:38.

Be dumping the data/voice then.
359 17 ii 54 SPT Okay, Story.
PLT-EVA Okay. We just about got her. There's an awful

lot of spring in this thing.
CDR-EVA Sure is. It's really twanging.
PLT-EVA Just about got it.
PLT-EVA It's not as tight as what I had a minute ago there.
359 17 12 59 PLT-EVA Okay, I think we're getting there.
PLT-EVA What's the ground rule there? Circ - big circle

anywhere inside the square?
SPT Okay, let me read it to you again here. Adjust

S020 until the coarse - that's the small - solar
image is seen in the boresighter. And then you
continue adjustments until the fine - that's the
large - solar image is visible on the boresighter.
1553
359 17 13 33 PLT-EVA That's correct.
SPT Adjust S020 until the fine solar image is within

the reticle square - that's center on crosshairs,
if possible.
PLT-EVA Got it.
SPT And lock in position.
PLT-EVA Oh, I locked and it twisted out.
SPT (Laughter)
PLT-EVA Oh, shoot. I screwed the knob down to tighten

it, and it twisted the whole mount.
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Okay, let me do it again. Let - let me get my feet

down here aud I'll -
359 17 14 09 CDR-EVA So long, Sun.
SPT Well, we can get T025 up and running, or at least

up and out anyway.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT We'll wait until - Bill's ready to go.
359 17 14 20 PLT-EVA Now this is self-defeating almost.
SPT Understand the problem, Bill.
PLT-EVA Yes, it looked like a simple design there, but when

I tightened down on the ball joint, it moved the
entire canister. Okay, I'ii have to wait until
the next sunrise.
SPT Okay. Let's get the M - the T025 out.
CDE-EVA All right.
PLT-EVA Okay, stand by i.
359 17 14 55 SPT Okay, T025 ops for EV-2 is unstow T025 assembly
and then you're ready to pass it.
155_
CDR-EVA Okay, that's in work.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, I'm going to leave the tether on this

one - unless you'd prefer it not be there. Are
you talking, Bill?
PLT-EVA Negative, I wasnVt talking.
CDR-EVA Okay. Here she comes.
SPT Okay, for Bill?
PLT-EVA I've got it.
359 17 15 33 SPT Okay, Bill. Verify clamp is open.
PLT-EVA Standby. Want to tether it first.
CDR-EVA When you - when you open that clamp, that rascal's
going to be untethered.
PLT-EVA Understand, but I'ii get this one on first.
CDR-EVA
Okay. -_
359 17 16 13 CDR-EVA Just open the - open the clamp and it'l'l come out.
PLT-EVA Well, I wanted to put it on someplace else.
CDR-EVA Oh, I see, okay.
PLT-EVA If I can. Yes, it'll fit here.
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Okay. All right. Just getting warm. Read on.
SPT Okay. Verify clamp is open and the finger is de-

ployed.
PLT-EVA Stand by, that's in work.
CDR-EVA The finger, she is deployed, monsieurs.
CDR-EVA It's already open, Bill. I did all that as part

of the prep.
I 1555
B59 17 16 41 SPT You've got to be careful of that little finger.

That slips back again when you're handling it.
You can waste a lot of time.
CDR-EVA Okay, that 's complete, Bill - Ed.
SPT Okay. And position clamp on ATM truss, halfway

to or beyond the first section of D-1 handrail.
PLT-EVA In work.
B59 17 17 17 SPT No, you're out too far, aren't you, Bill?
PLT-EVA Well - -
CDR-EVA You're supposed to be within the first section.
SPT Halfway to or beyond the first section of D-1 hand-

rail.
CDR-EVA Oh, okay. So you're all right then.
SPT Halfway to or beyond the first section.
PLT-EVA The problem is the SO20, Jer.
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA And I think that I'm going to have to be satisfied

with this right along in here.
CDE-EVA Yes, it looks like it might be all right.
PLT-EVA Hardware.
PLT-EVA Nice in the simulator, but we didn't find the inter-

ference problem there.
CDR-EVA That should be good. Now, you've got to close the

clamp.
B59 17 18 22 PLT-EVA Okay, just a second. Let me try this thing again.
CDR-EVA Man.
PLT-EVA It 's about cold-welded itself.

1556
CDR-EVA What 's that ?
PLT-EVA I was going to move this S02,J back to get a little

closer.
CDR-EVA Well, that looks like a good position for 25, Bill,
and it looks like your pointing right out the - the
slot between the solar panels.
PLT-EVA Yes. I think we may have outfoxed ourselves,

though.
CDR-EVA How 's that ?
359 17 19 13 PLT-EVA l'm not sure that I can align that - S020 with this
thing in position, but we'll - -
PLT-EVA Okay, she's on it tight.
SPT Okay. Secure clamp by turning top knob clockwise

until tight, then turn lower knob counterclockwise
until tight.
PLT-EVA That 's in work.
359 17 19 33 SPT Okay. And, Jer, you're going to unstow _the T025
filter case and pass to EV-I.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Make sure that there's only a little piece of Velcro

holding those covers down and it's very easy for
those things to - -
PLT-EVA Yes.
SPT - - pop out if you move the bag fast.
359 17 20 l0 PLT-EVA Okay, the js_nut's tight.
SPT Okay. Jer, you pass out the filter case.
CDR-EVA That 's in work.
SPT And Bill's stowing filter case on temporary stowage

hook.
15 7
PLT-EVA Stand by i.
PLT-EVA Tether right on here.
PLT-EVA Okay, Jer.
CDR-EVA Here it is. There's the tether right there.
PLT-EVA I got it. I tether it where?
CDR,EVA The stowage hook right there, to your right.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Tell me when you're red-eye [sic].
PLT-EVA I will.
PLT-EVA Okay, the filters are out here.
SPT Okay.
359 17 21 36 CDR-EVA Okay, is the red button down? Put on the tether.
PLT-EVA Yes, it is. It's green.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay, Install filter holder A in the A-1 position.
PLT-EVA In work.
PLT-EVA A-1 is in.
SPT Okay, align experiment by turning X and Y knobs

until Sun image - Okay, we've got to hold up right
there. Okay, now, do we dare move on to 2017 We
may as well. Let's just take a look here.
359 17 23 04 PLT-EVA That 201 goes up on the D-7 truss, doesn't it?
Maybe I 'm wrong on that.
SPT Yes, just a moment here. 201. Well, they have

us maneuvering - rolling the spacecraft, but I guess
we can get the thing out there anyway firs£. I
wonder if it would hurt having the thing sit in
the Sun for a long period of time?
1558 .__
PLT-EVA I think it does.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Well, you're kind of left Just sitting here waiting

for right now.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT You've got 26 minutes to go.
359 17 23 46 CDR-EVA Why couldn't we go ahead and start the film. transfer
for the ATM?
PLT-EVA That stuff is all right in your way, Jer.
SPT Well, let's see now. Are you saying move it out
into Bill's location?
CDR-EVA No, I'm talking about the - yes, we could get the
film trees out and all that good stuff.
SPT Well, heck, okay. Hold on here. Boy, I'll tell

you this - these two - these experiments themselves
are going to have a lot of overhead time.
CDR-EVA Yes, they are. That's why I'm thinking we ought

to be doing as much as we can on the routine stuff.
SPT All right. Just a minute. Let me dig ahead and

see what we can do here.
359 17 25 00 SPT Okay. We can move ahead to - Well, let's

Just see here - -
CDR-EVA We got a DAC in here too, that we've got to get

out.
SPT Well, you know, I don't even see where that DAC
comes in. Hold on. Let me Just dig ahead here.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 17 25 55 PLT-EVA Jer, you remind me to put - down and I'll remind
you.
CDR-EVA To put what down?

1559
PLT-EVA The SEVA.
CDR-EVA Oh, okay.
PLT-EVA All I've got down is the protective cover now.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Okay, we get the - the DAC comes out after - Man,
there's no real - no real breakpoint singled out
here, so I'm going to have to make one here.
Okay, now on panel B21, Bill, EXTENDIBLE BOOM.
EXTEND/RETRACT BOOM, verify operation.
359 17 26 57 PLT-EVA Standing by.
PLT-EVA Okay, did you tell me to do something or did you

just - -
CDR-EVA Yes, he said verify operation of the boom.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT EXTEND/RETRACT VC BOOM to verify operation.
PLT-EVA It's in; it's coming out. No, that's the center.
I didn't hear VC.
CDR-EVA VC, yes.
PLT-EVA Okay, VC right in center.
SPT Well, you're really going to have to try both of

them, so try to make sure both of them works.
CDR-EVA That looked good.
PLT-EVA Okay, forward. Have to watch this one.
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Okay. Both verified. Operation is verified.
359 17 27 B9 SPT Okay. Stow the VS tree in the VF receptacle.

That's F-15 and lock.
CDR-EVA The VS tree -

1560
PLT-EVA I tell you what - l'm not so sure that we ought to

do this yet because I was puttlng my feet up in that
area to try to adjust that S020.
CDR-EVA You were putting your feet below that, though,

rather than above it.
359 17 28 02 PLT-EVA Okay, press on.
SPT Okay, you're going to put the VS tree in the VF

rec ept acle.
PLT-EVA Right.
CDR-EVA In work.
SPT The VC will be following very shortly. Hey, Jerry,

you are naturally stow - or unstowing and passing
those out to him.
CDR-EVA Right.
359 17 28 45 CDR-EVA Okay, here comes the VS. Got it?
PLT-EVA l've got it.
CDR-EVA And next comes the friendly DAC.
PLT-EVA All right.
359 17 29 40 CDR-EVA All right, if you'll give me some settings, Ed, I

can go ahead and start setting up the universal
mount.
SPT Okay. X equal 5.
CDR-EVA Okay, stand by.
CDR-EVA I know we will move it but at least it can start

out in the right place. All right, there's X
equal 5.
SPT Y equal 305.
CDR-EVA All right.
SPT And Z equal zero.

_ 1561
CDR-EVA All right, it's all set.
SPT Okay, verify universal mount to the yellow mark;

that's what they are.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Have you got the right mount out there?
CDR-EVA No.
SPT That's all right.
359 17 30 30 PLT-EVA Okay, where do we stow it?
SPT Okay, stow DAC on F-5, aft of temporary stowage

hook and lock; lock towards the hatch.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA l'm surprised we haven't lost one of these, you

know?
_ CDR-EVA Don't speaktoo soon.
PLT-EVA It's really a dicey operation.
CDR_EVA Maybe you ought to tether it.
PLT-EVA Yes, it's a good idea.
SPT If you've got an extra wrist tether, that's not

a bad idea.
359 17 31 09 CDR-EVA Here's one.
PLT-EVA I got one.
CDR-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Why don't you tether it to the rail too, Bill?

Just sacrifice your tether and I'll give you a
replacement tether.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 17 31 2h PLT-EVA Okay. Just about all of these - none of these

locations they give are - are really good because
of the traffic flow in this area.
1562
CDE-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Okay, that's in work. Doesn't look hard.
PLT-EVA Okay, I think I did that without changing the set-

ting. Now, if we could lock this - There we go,
a nice, firm click.
359 17 32 04 PLT-EVA Let's see, what's the best way. Okay, I know how
I'ii do it.
PLT-EVA Okay, looks like she's all set.
CDR-EVA All right and the filter case is floating into the
field of view of that rascal.
PLT-EVA You're right,
CDR-EVA It's going to be a pain in the neck. Maybe you

should put the ring in the filter case through
the temporary stowage hook. Will it fit?
359 17 32 39 PLT-EVA Stand by 1. Let me see if I can sort out something

here. In back of my foot?
CDR-EVA Yes. It's nice to be able to work from a good

anchor point.
SPT Jerry, you made me think of the next thing is for

you to go on down the VC.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Now, let's see. Are you needed up there for

anything else? You got anything else in there
you got to pass out?
359 17 33 02 CDR-EVA Well, there's 201, but I could move it closer to

the hatch, so Bill can get it easier. And we have
a - V - VC tree to be put out too.
SPT Oh, l'm sorry, I called those out and and - you
better put that one out too. That goes on F-7.
-CDR-EVA Okay, here's a replacement wrist tether for you,

Bill.
PLT-EVA Got it. I think that will work all right - -

1563
CDR-EVA Yes, that looks good. Are you ready for the
VC tree when you get that done?
PLT-EVA Yes. I'm ready now.
CDR-EVA Okay, coming up.
359 17 B3 54 PLT-EVA Got 5.6 and no lights.
CDR-EVA Okay, I got 3.7 and _o lights.
PLT-EVA Hey, that's a real handful there, Jer.
CDR-EVA Sure is.
359 17 34 ll PLT-EVA Who-o-o!
PLT-EVA I've got it.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA And lock.
CDR-EVAAll right.
PLT-EVA See I can put my feet up and come in there and

adjust that S020. That'll work.
PLT-EVA That S020 has really turned out to be a mess.

I - I didn't think that ball joint would be that
hard to adjust.
PLT-EVA I think a larger ball would have made it nicer.

There's such a small surface area on that sphere.
359 17 35 28 CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, here is S020; S201's right here. I've
got it anchored on this handrail next to the
hatch.
PLT-EVA Okay. There's one small problem that I didn't -

you know, that just occurred to me - I think you
take that end plate off of there.
CDR-EVA That's right. Hey, Ed.
SPT Yes?
359 17 35 48 CDR-EVA Would you look at the procedures on 201 and see
if that end plate's supposed to come off?
1564
SPT Oh, yes - yes. Okay - I - Hold on.
CDR-EVA That's before it goes out, isn't it?
SPT It sure is. Let me just - -
PLT-EVA It doesn't have a tether or anything on it.
SPT Let me - if you're going to start doing 201, let

me read you.
CDR-EVA Well, I thought I'd at least take the cover off and
tether it close to the - the hatch here.
359 17 36 08 $PT Well, I guess we'd better not. Hold on. I'ii
read you - Okay, first of all, we roll the space-
craft. Unscrew four wingnuts, remove front cover
and stow by wrist tether on handrail next to
panel 313, CABIN PRESSURE RELIEF valve.
CDR-EVA Okay, let's just leave it here with the cover on.
When it comes to 201, I'll come in - come back in
again and we'll get it.
SPT Yes, I'm checking these procedures off, so, if

you're going to get ahead of me - let me catch up
with you because there's no way we've got of keep-
ing posted.
CDR-EVA Okay, well, as it stands now, Ed, the airlock is

clear except for 201 and me.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA And I'm ready to move to the VC workstation.
SPT Okay, why don't you go on down there and - because

we've got to roll the spacecraft for the 201 ops.
So why don't we have Bill try to get the S020 and
the T025 ops out while you're working the VC?
359 17 36 55 CDR-EVA All right.
SPT Okay, so I'll read - read the VC. We've got

12 minutes of night left.
CDR-EVA Okay. I could at least get in position.

I
i
1565
359 17 37 06 SPT Okay. Now, remove slack and clamp EV-2 LSU in
forward clamp at approximately 31 feet. Excuse
me, first of all, EV-2, you egress the AM and
translate to the VC and Bill you assist.
PLT-EVA Okay. Okay, Just go real slow, Jer, because there

is an awful lot of hardware on your wrist.
CDR-EVA Sure is. Holy-moly. I may have to ask you to

take my feet and point me to get me past the - -
PLT-EVA Yes, I will. I'll watch you.
CDR-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA All right.
359 17 37 40 PLT-EVA I got you. I'm pulling you down so that your
feet 'll avoid anything.
CDR-EVA Very good. All right now, if you can swing me

toward the rail - I got it; we're in good shape.
PLT-EVA Go slowly; go slowly - -
CDR-EVA Will do; will do.
CDR-EVA Time, we got lots of.
PLT-EVA Okay, you're in real good shape.
CDR-EVA Okay. Ny goodness, it's dark out here.
PLT-EVA And you didn't touch a thing.
359 17 B8 13 SPT Okay, you do have all the EVA's lights on out
there. Is that affirm?
CDR-EVA 0kay.
PLT-EVA Okay, now you got a coll of umbilical around you.
SPT All right, Jer.
PLT-EVA Turn - turn 1 - 360 clockwise.
CDR-EVA All right.

1566
PLT-EVA Then back and face the - keep on turning clockwise.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA There you go. Easier said than done.
CDR-EVA Let's put it down under my feet.
PLT-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA Okay, now don't jerk on it yet.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 17 38 52 PLT-EVA There you go; now you are clear. Now pull it
back.
PLT-EVA 31 feet you said, Ed?
SPT Hold on here, let me get to the right page.
CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear through

Guam for i0 minutes.
PLT-EVA Roger. Reading you 5 square, Story.
359 17 39 16 SPT Roger, Story. We've got the S020 and T025 out,
not completely aligned, and Jer's working his
way now down to the VC. And we are going to
have Bill try to get S020 and T025 taken care of
on this next dayside. And Jerry is going to be
working down there at the VC when we can get a
spare moment out of Bill.
CC Okay, thanks, Ed.
CDR-EVA Okay, I'm in the VC foot restraints.
SPT Okay.
SPT Clamp your own LSU at approximately 9 feet, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay, that will be done in a second.
359 17 39 56 PLT-EVA Okay, one thing we didn't do with the DAC is set it.
CDR-EVA No, that's right.

1567
CDR-EVA Bill, can you swing m_ LSU so that it'll hit me?
PLT-EVA Just a second.
CDR-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Got it.
SPT You know, nowhere here does it give the DAC oper-
ations as such.
PLT-EVA You mean settings?
359 17 40 31 SPT It,s - well it might he here somewhere. But I

imagine those settings were supposed to be done
before you went out. Because all we have here
is the X, Y, and Z.
PLT-EVA Well, I made them last night, so, we'd use them -
SPT Okay, yes, here we go. But it's much further down
the way. It's - when you start the - the boom
f operations. I can give you those settingsright
now if you like, Billy
PLT-EVA Well, it's only the settings I want, because this

is not - -
SPT Well, okay.
PLT-EVA - - documentary.
SPT Okay, for day, coming up, it's f/ll.
SPT Tell me when you're ready for more, Bill.
CDR-EVA Are you eating in there, Ed?
359 17 41 14 SPT No, I've got a pen in my mouth.
CDR-EVA Oh, I see.
SPT I wouldn't do that.
CDR-EVA I was going to say, if you've got to eat in there,

don't let us know, okay?
SPT I won't tell you about the three - the two orange
_- juices and lemonadesI have stashedaway here.
1568
CDR-EVA Oh, you dirty rotten -
PLT-EVA f/ll, infinity?
SPT f/ll, infinity, 500.
PLT-EVA 500, huh?
SPT Yes.
359 17 42 06 CDR-EVA Boy, there's sure lots of light in this working

area - in this center workstation.
359 17 42 14 SPT Okay, we have got 7 minutes left in night. And

tell me when you're ready for any action, Bill.
PLT-EVA Stand by.
SPT Once we get into daylight, the - the first order

of business is to get S020 going because they
got some pretty long exposures.
CDR-EVA Right.
PLT-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA l've got the thing set right.
359 17 43 06 CDR-EVA In other words, Bill, it's just this universal

mounting.
SPT Okay, Jer, you may want to verify S054 is - ATM

is positioned to S05h.
CDR-EVA Yes, it is, but it's not aligned; it's off about
6 inches.
SPT Well, okay, you may want to tweak it up when you

get out - when you open the hatch.
CDR-EVA Okay, I think I will do that.
359 17 44 00 SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA I'm going to turn the prior - the POWER, PRIM and
SEC, on.
SPT Hold on, now wait a minute. Let me - let me -

let me read you what you need.
1569
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT If it's not positioned to 54, POWER, two to EN-

ABLE.
CDR-EVA All right.
SPT ROLL to ENABLe.
359 17 44 15 CDR-EVA ROLL's ENABLEd.
SPT Canister roll, CANISTER ROTATION, RIGHT or LEF_

to align to 5h.
CDR-EVA Okay, that 's in work.
CDR-EVA 0kay, it 's aligned now.
SPT Okay, now ROLL, INHIBIT.
CDR-EVA ROLL, INHIBIT.
SPT Okay, there you are; that's where you're staying.
cDR-EVA This one rolls nice and smooth.
CDR-EVA Boy, these canister lock - big lock things are

sure heavy, aren't they? What are these? The
launch locks, I guess.
359 17 45 l0 CC Skylab, we're about a minute from LOS here and

about 7 minutes to Honeysuckle at 17:52. And, Ed,
did you get a CMG reset?
SPT That's affirmative, Story. I was showing a 9 on

the alert code and we got a CMG light.
CC Okay, thanks.
CDR-EVA Are we pumping TACS?
SPT We were before.
CC 22 mibs so far.
CDR-EVA I'd like to see that sometimes. Have to keep my

eye peeled.
1570 _-_
SPT Story, I was led to believe we ought to expect

that from time to time here.
CC That's affirm; no problem.
SPT Okay.
SPT Okay, 3-1/2 minutes left to - to get into dayside.
PLT-EVA And I'll - I'll get hot on the S020 as soon as

these -
SPT Okay, as soon as you can get that up and running,

we can start on that big, long 60-minute exposure,
Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 17 46 _7 SPT And then we can get T025 going, and then third
order of priority is to send something out to Jer,
although T025 has got a thousand and one small
operations in there, but I think - -
PLT-EVA Remember the - I guess I can get the center boom

passed up, T025 all right. But the Sun end, I
think we have an interference problem.
SPT Okay. I'll tell you what, your first move is for
- for Bill or for Jerry if you like, Bill. You've
got - both of those things are clamped. You have
done the EMU status check, which might not be a
bad idea.
359 17 47 29 PLT-EVA Okay, EV-1, all lights out and I'm reading about
3.6.
CDR-EVA Okay, EV-2, all mY lights are out and I've got
3.67.
SPT Okay, we got 2 minutes left in night, and I will

let you use your own juagment, Bill. You can take
on 321 and take the CENTER BOOM and EXTEND approx-
imately 1 foot. Deploy the boom hook and verify
boom hook is 11nlocked. And unstow the S054 from
the VC tree. Hook it on and send it out. So, if
you got only 2 more minutes left, you may want to
hold up.
1571
PLT-EVA I think you are right. I'd like to get that S020
lined - I'm afraid - I'm going to allow m_self
lO minutes for that, Ed, because - -
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA - - I had that aligned just about perfectly and I

started to tighten down on the screw and it moved
the whole canister.
359 17 48 18 SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA One thing, looking ahead, I am going to be - use

the first frame, right? On S020 for this long
exposure?
SPT That's what they called for.
PLT-EVA And in between, on the night sides, do I go back

to storage? I asked that question - -
SPT NO. No, you'd let the Earth do the occulting for
you. All you got to do is just keep track of the
f time in which it's exposed at - that we're in day_
light. So you just tell me when you're;going to
open it, and I'll start the EVENT TIMER rlmning,
Bill. And as soon as we get down in the daylight
stop here, I'll stop the EVENT TIMER, a_d I'll
keep track of the cumulative time.
PLT-EVA Ed, now, they are not worried about atmospheric

contamination at all?
359 17 49 07 SPT No, I asked that last night, and these are such
long exposures and such a - relative to the ATM,
such a gross measure that - they'll - they'll take
in that.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT All the atmosphere does is to decrease the - what

they're seeing. I don't think it really changes - -
PLT-EVA The high-energy stuff; okay, I see. Okay, put

my visor down.
SPT Okay, I think you should be able to see the Sun

starting to come - -
1572 _
PLT-EVA Here it comes.
SPT Okay, we're going to be going through 40 K in a

few moments. And, Bill, why don't you start
lining up S020?
359 17 49 43 PLT-EVA It's in work.
SPT When you get that Jewel all aligned, then you
star_ on frame number i.
PLT-EVA Okay, let me get my feet all positioned here so

I don't kick the fool out of anything important.
CDR-EVA Holy! Oh, man, there we go. And the white paint
ain't very white any more, is it?
PLT-EVA Sure isn't.
359 17 50 48 PLT-EVA Oh, darn, I'm going to have to move the hook'again.
I thought I had misaligned it, but I'd actually,
by trial and error, moved it to the right place.
Just don't have enough movement of that ball joint.
They didn'tshootout enough.
CDR-EVA (Laughter) Well, I'ii tell you, if that sail isn't

the most Rube Goldberg looking outfit I ever saw.
PLT-EVA Yes, it's pretty squirrely. (Laughter)
CDR-EVA But it's doing the job.
PLT-EVA *** It's not though; that's the problem.
SPT Say again?
PLT-EVA It is, but I can't get the ... There we go now,

if that doggone thing doesn't move when I tighten
it down.
359 17 51 45 SPT I'll tell you though, Jer, if you look at the way
in which it's deployed, though, I think they did a
pretty good job.
CDR-EVA Oh, they did.
CDR-EVA Man, that's really something.

1573
SPT Hey, Jer, do we have anything sharp in the command

module, like scissors?
359 17 52 04 CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Where are they?
CDR,EVA They're in the tool kit, I think.
SPT Oh, okay; thank you.
SpT Not in the comms.nd module, but in the MDA one,

huh?
CDR-EVA Oh, yes, in the MDA, excuse me.
SPT How does it look out there, Jet?
CDR-EVA Beautiful, Ed.
SPT It's a nice sight, isn't it?
359 17 52 25 CDR-EVA Yes, i 'm Just busy rubbernecking looking at all

.... the - the - all down in the workshop, I see
where the wing's torn off and the wire bundle's
hanging out there.
SPT Yes.
PLT-EVA Beautiful, beautiful, now if I just don't screw

it up. *** tight, because I don't want to ***
I got her boresighted right on now.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA Just a second, l've got to tighten it down.
359 17 52 57 CC Skylab, reading you loud and clear through Honey-

suckle for a couple of minutes.
CDR-EVA Roger.
PLT-EVA Okay, l'm - okay, I am going to leave it that way.

If I don't touch it, we'll be in business.
SPT Well, now, remember you've got to touch it to go

to frame number i.
/-_ PLT-EVA Yes, I know it.

1574
359 17 53 ii CC Jer, we're looking ahead for you here. Understand

there is an interface problem between putting the
S054 down past T025. We're thinking maybe you'll
bring S054 out early; we don't want it left out
in the Sun for too long.
359 17 53 29, CDR-EVA Okay, we're not so sure there is an interface

problem. Looks like it might go by.
CC Okay, we just didn't want the exposed S054 out in

the Sun for too long.
CDR-EVA Okay. We'll - -
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay, Bill, let me read to you. Okay, you've got

the S020 coarse, small, image boresighted in the
large and you're pretty much in the center.
PLT-EVA Yes, I got her right - almost - almost dead center.
359 17 53 53 SPT Okay, voice record best alignment achieved and any
other pertinent alignment comments - -
PLT-EVA Oh, gosh. Does it say close or dead center?
SPT Ok%v, which way is it as you'd look at it, relative

to the axis?
PLT-EVA Let me just look, just a second. As I look at it,

it's biased slightly toward 51XXXE. That's dead
on and in Y.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA And that's, say, about a half of one graduation,

which is I think, one octal.
SPT Okay, that's good.
359 17 54 36 PLT-EVA It is well inside it - -
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA - - and I am real pleased with it.

" 1575
, SPT Okay, let's press. Now, to initiate,or terminate

an exposure, you take the FILM ADVANCE knob
clockwise to the next - -
359 17 54 _5 CC Skylab, a minute from LOS; 25 minutes to the

Vanguard at 18:19.
SPT - - And voice record mark on knob rotation and

frame number for every exposure initiated.
PLT-EVA Stand by, I'll give you mark.
SPT Okay, what _re YO_ coming up on?
PLT-EVA l, it's on stowage now.
SPT Okay, hold on. Story, when you get a mark out of
Bill we're going to be starting the 60-minute
exposure and I'ii get the. EVENT TIMER going
simultaneously.
' CC Roger.
PLT-EVA Standby -
SPT Ready?
359 17 55 l0 PLT-EVA MARK. 1 and I want to recheck pointing.
CDR-EVA You'd better try tO stop the rotation. Oh, that's

okay; it's got an hour.
PLT-EVA Oh, we're in good shape on the attitude - I mean

on the alignment; it's good as is.
SPT Okay, that's frame number i.
PLT-EVA That's correct.
SPT/CDR Okay.
EVA
CDR-EVA It's vibrating some, Bill, if you can touch it

you might be able to stop it, I don't know.
PLT-EVA I don't think it makes any difference on S020, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay, so, let's press on to T025 now.

1576
PLT-EVA
Okay.
SPT Okay. Align the experiment by turning the X and

Y knobs until the Sun image is located in the
center of the occulting disk.
359 17 55 43 SPT By the way, Bill, I snapped off those two initial
frames in that camera, so you're sitting on frame
number i right now.
PLT-EVA Okay, you're going to have to give me a few minutes

on this one too, there.
CDR-EVA All right.
SPT Okay, the image will be red on the edge of the

filter and orange in center.
SPT Okay, this one you have done before, haven't you,
Bill?
SPT Yes, I remember looking out there with you.
PLT-EVA ... too.
PLT-EVA Nice, but let me try to load ...
CDR-EVA Hey, that damps out pretty quick.
PLT-EVA We have - we don't have a cap on the end of this

thing, do we?
CDR-EVA No, I took it off.
359 17 56 59 PLT-EVA All I get are those fuzzy white - C-1 is trans-
parent, so that shouldn't be the problem. Okay,
I will just play with it some more here, stand
by. UV lens may be not focused.
PLT-EVA You pulled the mirror down, because I heard you

talking about it.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT You can tell the mirror is down by - the little

white knob should be forward. The mark on the
white - on the knob should be.
1577
CDR-EVA It's all covered in a bag_ you can't tell. _
SPT Oh, yes.
PLT-EVA I bolted it down I verified it d6wn when we

loaded it. And I checked it again just before
I put the lens on.
359 17 58 15 PLT-EVA That's weird.
359 17 59 26 PLT-EVA I wish I could get away from his fee t ,
PLT-EVA Try that.
CDR-EVA Still nothing, huh?
PLT-EVA No, nothing. Not - no orange or nothing. It

d_d - did have the transparent thing on the end of
the occulting disk, didn't it, Jer?
CDR-EVA Yes, I think so. Is it all the way in?
PLT-EVA Kohoutek is in the occulting disk.
359 18 O1 42 PLT-EVA Okay, i - all right now I've got - I think I got
some system I can use now. Stay out here on the
far end and look at the shadow of the occulting
disk on the recess. Yes, that ought to do it.
PLT-EVA Dead center on the shadow. See what I got in the
viewfinder. Nothing. Well, letVs see. Let's
check everything. The _
CDR-EVA Well , I can see this end of the occulting thing,

and there's no - no cap on it. And I distinctly
remembe r taking it off yesterday.
PLT-EVA Okay, do you see a sort of a transparent - no I

guess you wouldn't see it. See any reflection?
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Trying to - You're at a _5-degree angle, Jer?
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Okay.
1578
CDR-EVA Why don't you take the camera off and look out J
through the main barrel and see if it's lined up?
PLT-EVA Man, that sounds like a good thing to do. I'ii

do it.
CDR-EVA And if you can see through it that way, then

you'll know it's the camera. And that'll then -
That'll mean the mirror must have popped up again.
359 18 03 32 CDR-EVA You have to undo the knob on the right there, I
believe.
PLT-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Man, it's hard.
CDR-EVA I can imagine.
PLT-EVA There we go. Can't get my feet back in position.
CDR-EVA And remember the camera is connected to the

grounding strap, so you're not in any - -
PI,T-EVA Yes.
CDE-EVA - - danger of losing it.
PLT-EVA I don't have to worry about it.
PLT-EVA Yes, it's there.
CDR-EVA Okay, it's got to be the camera; I'll bet the

mirror popped up again.
PLT-EVA Well, that means we got to sacrifice one frame.

Boy, these Nikons, well. Where in that - I want
2 seconds. Can we - I'll tell you what I am
going to do, Ed.
359 18 05 08 SPT What's that?
PLT-EVA I'm looking right - right down the barrel of

this; I can just about line it up. We may be
able to salvage this one exposure by Just first,
you know, eyeball lining it up first.
CDR-EVA I'll tell you then, let's take one of his low
priority exposures first.
1579
SPT All right, hold on here. Let me get you over to

T025.
CDR-EVA How many exposures are on the list?
SPT Well, there's 40 and he's got - -
359 18 05 37 CDR-EVA He's got _3.
SPT All right, let me just take a look here on the

A filters. A-4, we've _ot a 2-second exposure.
CDR-EVA All right, you know, we could go ahead and just

sacrifice an exposure for that.
PLT-EVA Oh, well, let's - okay, I've got her just lined up
by eyeball looking down the barrel, and I put
the camera back on. And - -
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA - - we got an exposure to take. We won't lose the

data if we give it one frame.
SPT All right, I'ii tell you what. Let's just take
the first frame, and we'll take the first frame
twice.
359 18 06 07 PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT The first frame is 125.
PLT-EVA I think I'm really pretty well lined up, to tell

you the truth.
CDR-EVA Is there anything I could be doing to help you,

Bill?
PLT-EVA No. Pray.
CDR-EVA (Laughter )
PLT-EVA There we go, got the stuff all back together

again. Oooooh, darn!
SPT Maybe I should have brought a camera in here, be-

cause I got a good shot of you, Bill, up there
thrashing around.
1580
PLT-EVA Yes, thrashing is right. Boy, what a ham-listed

operation. Now, I'm- I'm-
CDR-EVA Where are you, Ed?
SPT I'm looking out the STS window number 3, and I

guess I could probably see you over there, Jet,
if I moved my little bod.
359 18 07 03 CDR-EVA 0k_y, Ed, what filter do we want?
SPT We want filter A-l, for the first exposure.
PLT-EVA Okay, we've got filter A-1. And I'm taking my

little exposure up. What - what duration?
SPT The speed is 125.
CDR-EVA Holy-moly, I just looked down, beautiful.
PLT-EVA 125, you mean?
SPT 1/25, that right.
PLT-EVA No.
SPT That's 125 seconds. 1/125. We have some long

exposures, but we also have some short ones.
PLT-EVA But I have a choice of 1 second, 2 seconds - -
CDR-EVA No, no, that's l, 1/2, remember?
PLT-EVA That's right. Okay.
359 18 07 47 SPT That's right when you go to time, then I'll

manually give you marks.
PLT-EVA Okay, 1/125. Tell me when you want it.
SPT Any time.
359 18 07 56 PLT-EVA Okay, Jet, I'm going to close. I don't think it

makes a difference on that one.
SPT Okay, now.
PLT-EVA Now I'm going to check the mirror again.

1581
SPT Check the mirror and see how it looks.
PLT-EVA ...
PLT-EVA Yes, there we go.
SPT How was - how was the alignment for that one?
PLT-EVA The alignment was almost perfect, if you'll pardon

the expression. (Laughter)
SPT All right, I'll tell you what, we'll check off
frame number 1. Next one is 1/1000, that's 1000.
PLT-EVA Okay, now let me - -
SPT A-I.
PLT-EVA - - make a very fine adjustment, but I - I think

that thatwas pretty good for reference.
CDR-EVA Okay.
-- 359 18 08 38 SPT I'll tell you what, if you've got any doubts -
I'ii tell you what, let's press on. And we can
come back and pick that one up if you got any
doubts.
PLT-EVA No, I'm not even going to change it, Ed. I got
to looking at it and it - it's within my ability
to adjust it with the parallax of my body,
SPT Why don't you just give a little voice recording

of what it looks like, how far off you think you
may be, and we'll press on here?
PLT-EVA Okay, what I see is the - do I want to see orange

or red?
SPT Hold on. Image will appear red on edge of filter

and orange in the center.
359 18 09 22 PLT-EVA Orange is just about dead-on center.
SPT Beautiful!
PLT-EVA .., - -
/
SPT Sounds like you're -
1582
CDR-EVA Doggone, it's beautiful out here.
PLT-EVA Sure is, isn't it?
SPT Okay, and - Hey, hold on here - hold on here,

EV-2.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT LIGHTING EVA, DA, and ATM switches, two, OFF. So

Bill, that's one we missed.
PLT-EVA Uh-oh.
SPT I can do it from in here; 316, LIGHTING_ let me

see - No, I can do a 202 EVA LIGHTING circuit
breaker 1 and 2 OPEN. Let me get that here -
202. Yes, Bill, I think we better hit that one
again anyways.
PLT-EVA What's that again now?
SPT We had some lights on.
PLT-EVA Yes, I turned thoseon.
359 18 l0 20 SPT Yes, I know but they want them off for the T025
exposures.
PLT-EVA Oh.

CDR-EVA You know, I haven't seen any land yet. There's

nothing hut water down here.
PLT-EVA You know, the thing that bothers me about this

filter cage is that you're depending on this one
little patch of Velcro to hold these -
SPT There is a little friction inside those things

too, Bill. But it's not much; you can't depend
upon it.

Fault out there. And I can't quite make out the
offset, where it - where it breaks.

CDR-EVA Yes, me, too.
SPT Nothing worse than having some poor guy work that
long and that hard and have all that hardware put
together and then not have it function.
359 18 28 36 CDR-EVA Man, I can see all the way from the Amazon River
to the tip of South America. What a panorAmA.
SPT Tough to describe, isn't it, Jer?
CDR-EVA Boy, I'll say.
SPT You wonder why so many gee-whizzes have been

used until you get out there and look at it
yourself. There just doesn't seem to be words
to really convey it to other people who haven't
seen it.
1596
CDR-EVA Man, it's almost a religious experience being out

here.
SPT You think you're religious now. Wait until you

359 18 34 15 CDR-EVA We Just came out over the mouth of the Amazon.
You know, that river must move pretty fast, be-
cause it's got silt in it all the way into cen-
tral Brazil; it's just yellow.
PLT-EVA Yes, I noticed yesterday that all the rivers down

there looked like that they really over - over-
filled; up to the banks. And I was wondering if
they've really had a lot of flooding down there.
CDR-EVA Boy, they're sure - they're sure silty.
SPT Okay tell me when you got Charlie i in there, Bill,

PLT-EVA Hook her up now?
SPT Hold on just a minute. Let me - let me just see

what - what it says. When exposures are complete -
Okay, let me see. Let me get the lighting on here
first. Just follow the checklist by rote. I don't
1601
want to get out of phase here. Yes, I think it's -

We're going into darkness pretty soon here.
CDR-EVA Hey, I can see the terminator coming up.
SPT Goldang it.
SPT Just bear with me, Bill. I'll be right with you.
PLT-EVA Okay. No hurry. But I know I've got to put the

PLT-EVA Okay. I tell you what I'd like to do, Ed. I'd
like to take these filters inside because - -
359 18 38 l0 SPT Well, okay. Let me read on here. It says attach

remote- control cable to side of canister. Re-
move T025 assembly from strut and pass to EV-2;
so you may want to take that whole bag of stuff
and stow it inside.
CDR-EVA You could Just stow it on that handrail Just inside

the hatch.
SPT It says for EV-2 to stow T025 assembly in the AM.

Strap extension boom to the handrail next to
323 tether.
359 18 38 37 CC Skylab, reading you loud and clear through Canaries

and Madrid for lh minutes.
CDR-EVA Roger.
SPT Okay, Story, T025 ops are complete. The only -

I think we got all the good exposures that they
1602
were after. On frame number 28, though, they

requested a 1/16; we gave them 1/15, but that's
the only thing the camera will allow. I believe
that's probably what they wanted initially, also.
359 18 39 09 CC Okay, got it.
359 18 39 15 SPT Okay. Let's press on.
CC Or you've got us.
PLT-EVA I'm taking the film received in first.
SPT Story, Bill is going to move the T025 assembly

into the airlock, and then we'll be set up to
start the film transfer. And we still show
15 minutes remaining on the first S020 exposure.
359 18 39 _2 CC Okay. Confirmed.
CDR-EVA Hey, Story, what's our groundtrack over Europe?
CC Yes, looks like Spain, Southern France, and

Switzerland from down here.
359 18 39 59 CDR-EVA Okay, thank you.
SPT Okay, Bill, I'll give you the words. I know you've
Just gone back out there. Stow T025 assembly in
AM strap extension boom to handrail next to 323,
tether.
CDR-EVA How much more nighttime?
SPT Daytime, you mean?
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT We've got about - -
359 18 _0 23 CC We're showing 7 minutes from down here. 7 minutes

more of day.
CDR-EVA Okay, let's not to have Bill distracted so that

he can't close that shutter. Maybe you ought - -
SPT You - you don't have to close anything. They -

they don't have to close anything.
1603
359 18 h0 38 CDR-EVA Thought he said it had to go to stowage.
PLT-EVA That's only if we go off attitude.
CDR-EVA Off attitude, oh, okay.
SPT Story, again I've been using the ATM clock here,
which is a 40 K time. Is that ample accuracy
for them?
359 18 40 55 CC That's affirm. And you do not have to go to

stowage on that experiment. You can Just let it
point by itself during the night.
SPT Roger. We copy.
SPT ...
359 18 41 18 CC Okay, Bill, we'd like for you to go to stowage

on S020.
CREW (Laughter)
SPT Okay, we copy, Story.
359 18 41 29 CDR-EVA Somebody changed Story's story.
CC More than once.
CDR-EVA Variety is the spice of life, Story.
CC That 's true.
SPT Okay, Bill - Bill, where are you right now?
359 18 41 47 CDR-EVA He's Just talking T025 off the strut.
SPT Okay. And I'ii read you these words here. Have
you attached the remote cable to the side of the
canister?
PLT-EVA No, that was taped on, Story. And - -
CDR-EVA No, that's Ed you're talking to.
CDR/PLT (Laughter)
EVA
1604
SPT Okay, if it was taped on there, maybe you can't

do much with it.
359 18 42 20 PLT-EVA I don't think I can. I - I'm - -
SPT Okay, well Just bring it right inside; then it

says stow the T025 assembly in the AM. Strap
extension boom to handrail next to the 323. Then
you tether the T025 assembly handle to handrail on
the aft next to 314.
CDR-EVA Ed, - Just let him stick it in there and tether

it to the nearest handrail, and I'll take care
of it when I get back.
359 18 42 43 SPT That sounds like a good deal.
CDR-EVA Right. Just - Just tether it nearby, Bill.

Don't go thrashing around in there.
PLT-EVA I will not.
B59 18 42 53 SPT Just make sure our friendly Nikon camera is in a

safe position.
CDR-EVA Okay. It's about time; we're getting close to

sunset, Bill.
SPT We got 4 minutes here - about 40 K here, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT We got a good hack on it here.
PLT-EVA I think what Jerry's talking about is we got to

go stowage.
SPT ... --
359 18 _3 l0 CDR-EVA And Bill is - you know, halfway in the lock right
now.
PLT-EVA Yes, I'm--
SPT You - you got 4 minutes, Bill; so pace yourself

to get out there to give it a stowage. And give
me a mark when you do it and I'll stop our EVENT
TIMER.
J
16o5
B59 18 4B 48 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm standing by to go stowage.
SPT Okay, we got another 3 minutes and 19 seconds.

Tellyou what you could do is, we can start on
the transfer ops, for a little bit. You can -
Well, heck. Let's Just wait and rest. Why don't
we do that? Don't you think I'd make a good FAO?
CDR-EVA Yes. You're doing a very good Job.
359 18 44 5_ PLT-EVA Getting dark.
SPT 2 more minutes.
CDR-EVA I see you got the lights on.
SPT Yes, I got those back on soon as he finished the

T025. Okay, you got the TO25 filter case in there
too, huh, Bill?
PLT-EVA That's affirm. In the aft compartment.
359 18 45 40 SPT I'll be durned. You know we almost got that _111
_- 60-minuteJobber-dohere, althoughwe'll come up
around 7minutes short.
PLT-EVA I'm on real good pointing. And I'm proud of that,

because that was hard to do.
SPT Okay, we got 1 minute here, Bill; and when we've

got around 15 seconds to go, why don't I Just let
you tell me yottr time you're going to go to stowage
and give me a mark and I'll start and stop the
timer?
359 18 h6 17 PLT-EVA You Just tell me because it's not - all I got to
do is Just twist this knob from 1 back to S.
SPT Okay.
SPT Heck, it's holding us up. Well, heck we Just may

as well get the most out of it here. 30 seconds.
SPT i0 seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 -
359 18 _7 ii SPT MARK.
PLT-EVA Got it. Stowage.

1606 .--.--.
SPT Okay. Story• I show we have 7 minutes 59 seconds

remaining on the 60-minute exposure.
359 18 47 24 CC Okay, Ed.
SPT Okay, getting dark, getting dark. Okay, why don't

you go clean up T025, as much as you're ever
going to, Bill?
359 18 h7 hl PLT-EVA 0kay• would you read it once again, the exemp-
tion, the 313 handrail and all that bit.
SPT Well, no - You don't have to do that. Just make

sure you got her packed in there reasonably well.
PLT-EVA All right.
359 18 47 50 SPT If you want to do the other, I can - I can give

it to you, but Jer's comment is probably a good
one.
359 18 h7 54 CDR-EVA Yes, let's Just get on with the transfer now.
SPT Okay. The next dayside we're going to have to

pick up on S201. Tell you what, since this comes
first, why don't we get that one going, Jer? I
know you're eager, but we got to get these exper-
iments out of the way first.
CDR-EVA Well, don't you have to roll for 2017
SPT Yes, but I probably won't have to do that until

we - Well• heck. Okay, you're sure right. We
do have to roll for that. And let me look ahead
here and see how long the prep and exposures are•
to see whether we ought to be rolling now.
CDR-EVA Your maneuver pad ought to - -
SPT Maneuver pad doesn't give me a time.
CDR-EVA Oh, it doesn't?
359 18 h8 39 SPT No. It Just - i0 Just says do a nominal H-CAGE

sometimes before we - we do the roll. Let's see,
ATTITUDE HOLD from time remaining at night• 7
to - to maneuver time, 52:30. ATT HOLD time re-
maining at night from 7 minutes to time remaining
in day at 37.
1607
CDR-EVA Well, see you can't do it this pass because we've

still got T025 to go. No TO - S020.
359 18 h9 i0 SPT Oh, you're right. Sorry. Here's your can.
CDR-EVA There's nothing we can do. We might as well get

on with this transfer, at least at the center
works tation.
SPT You're sure right, ger. Okay. Okay, here we go.
359 18 49 23 CC Skylab, you can press on with the maneuver right

now •
SPT Wait a minute.
CDE-EVA Wait a minute. Why do we want to do that? We

still owe S020 about 7-1/2 minutes, or 8 minutes.
SPT Yes, Story, we have quite a few exposures to go

on SO20 and also we've not done a nominal H-CAGE.
SPT I think rather than Jump the gun and start pushing
the spacecraft around, we'll wait until we come
up again with them. Okay, let's go on. Bill, on
321, center boom, extend approximately 1 foot - -
359 18 49 57 CC Ed, we'd like you to follow the m_neuver pad on

this - this pass and we'll get 201 and then we'll
pick up S020 later.
SPT Okay, do you want a nominal H-CAGE, though, at

this time?
CC That's affirm, per the pad, Ed.
SPT Okay, that's to be done l0 minutes ahead of time

and the atti - ATTITUDE HOLD is to be done from
time remaining at night of 7 minutes, so that's
says we'll have to wait until 17 minutes remaining
at night to execute the nominal H-CAGE. Is that
what you are planning on?
CC Yes, that'll be fine, Ed.
359 18 50 38 SPT Okay, at 17 minutes remaining, we'll start the

maneuver pads. Okay, on 321, center boom, extend
approximately 1 foot and deploy boom hook and
verify boom hook unlocked. That's to you, Bill.
1608
PLT-EVAThat's
complete.
PLT-EVA That's complete.
SPT Okay, unstow S05_ from VC tree.
PLT-EVA That's in work.
SPT And attach it to the boom and lock the hook.
PLT-EVA In work.
SPT Okay, and tell me when you got it on there, and

m_ke sure the hook is locked.
CDR-EVA Ah'. Just a minute. I picked up the wrong piece.
359 18 51 45 CC Skylab, we're 1 minute from LOS; about 30 minutes

to Carnarvon at 19:21.
SPT Roger, Story.
PLT-EVA Hey, you - you do use the last knob, right?
SPT Let's see. What are you trying to do, Bill?
PLT-EVA I'm trying to get 54 out of here.
CDR-EVA Okay, you got to - you got to push the button down
and then you take the handle and rotate it to
unlatch.
SPT Push the - the center button.
CDR-EVA Rotate the handle.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA There you go.
B59 18 5B ll PLT-EVA Okay, the hook is latched.
SPT Okay, when it's latched, then - -
PLT-EVA Stand by; it's not quite.
SPT Yes, make sure it is,
PLT-EVA There, green showing, great.

1609
SPT And make sure she's secure.
PLT-EVA Right.
SPT On panel 321, center boom, extend to VC, as directed

by Jer.
PLT-EVA Ready for it, Jer.
CDR-EVA Ready.
CDR-EVA And, Just like downtown. I'm going to be down

here Juggling two canisters, right?
PLT-EVA Say when, Jer.
359 18 5h 05 SPT Yes. What you're going to do first, Jet, is to - -
PLT-EVA Okay, good.
SPT Okay. You're going to remove it from the boom,

Jet, and stow it on the VC temporary stowage hook,
using tether ring on handle and lock lock.
r_ CDR-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA I'm also going to tether it to me, too.
SPT That is a very sound idea.
CDR-EVA Would be not very good to fix the shutter problem,

but lose the film.
SPT That's right. After that good threading operation,

tOO •
CDR-EVA Yes, hate to have you crying.
SPT Maybe more than me crying.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, you can retract it about h feet.

That's good.
359 18 55 36 CDR-EVA Okay, I've got it temporarily restrained now; I'll

take m_ tether hook off. Okay, it's done.
SPT Okay. Now, using - You're going to unlock the

used S05h and remove the mag.
1610
CDR-EVA
Okay
--
SPT And attach it to the 5_ - And attach it to the

boom and lock the hook.
CDR-EVA Okay, I'm opening the door now.
SPT And, Bill, you may have to pick - move that boom
for Jerry.
PLT-EVA Okay. I'll tell you what, I'll go ahead and move
it back now and then let Jerry EVA me in.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill. Say when.
PLT-EVA Okay, that 's good.
359 18 56 57 SPT Okay, you're going to send it back up to Bill.
CDR-EVA All right, Just a minute.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill.
PLT-EVACamera
is ...
359 18 58 27 SPT Okay, Bill, you're going to attemp - you're going

to stow that in the same slot you got the new one
out of.
SPT And, Jer, you're going to take the new one, of

course, and put it in there.
CDR-EVA Okay, it's in.
SPT Verify white flag is visible.
CDR-EVA Okay, I'm latching it now.
SPT Okay, and lock it. Verify white flag is visible.

Check both of those.
CDR-EVA Okay, it's a green flag that says latch.
SPT Okay, let's see. Is there anything on the side

of the canister?
CDR-EVA Don't see anything; it's latched in nice and tight.

1611
SPT How about a - okay, let's see, there's a green

one that's in the -
359 18 59 37 CDR-EVA Yes, it's in the magazine and it says latched and
the handle's 90 degrees and the - the pushbutton
is up. And all I have to do is close the door
and that'll bring up a white flag. There's some
white alignment marks down in the lower right hand
corner and they're aligned up nice. Yes, according
to the instructions on the door here, everything
is copacetic.
SPT Okay, it says green flag on the door, huh?
CDR-EVA No, it doesn't say anything. It says install

magazine, push white button, lock by turning the
90 degrees clockwise, observe the alignment strips
down at the right corner are seated. And every-
thing is okay.
359 19 00 18 SPT Okay. We'll chalk that one up; and we'll be
testing that camera out pretty soon.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Let me make that little notation in here though.
SPT Okay, Jer - or Bill, how are you doing? You got
the center boom retracted?
PLT-EVA Well, I got it right here in front of me. I

haven't got it retracted. Am I supposed to put
it out of the way?
SPT Well, have you got the 54 boom - the 54 on the

boom and put back onto the tree?
PLT-EVA Yes, sir, that's done.
SPT Okay. Unstow 56 from the VC tree.
PLT-EVA In work.
359 19 00 50 SPT Okay, the plan is, we're going to a nominal H-CAGE
in about another 5 minutes. And then i0 minutes
after that, we're going to start the S201 maneuver,
which is a 10-minute maneuver.
1612 i
CDR-EVA Okay, well, we can be doing this while that's

going on.
SPT I'm figuring what we ought to do, though, is, with

about 5 minutes remaining, is to start working on
getting 201 out there.
CDR-EVA I think that's probably a good idea. Okay, so

what's the next step. In the - -
SPT Unstow 56 from the VC tree.
CDR-EVA Okay, and now I - I rotate the canister?
SPT And you take panel 160 POWER, two, ENABLE. And
roll - -
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT And ROLL, ENABLE; CANISTER ROTATION, RIGHT to

align 50 - S056 and then ROLL, INHIBIT.
PLT-EVA Okay, 56 is on its way down.
SPT So, when you get to 56 -
359 19 01 45 CDR-EVA Okay, stop there for a minute, Bill.
CDR-EVA Okay, 56 is aligned; ROLL is INHIBITED.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill. Come on down with it now.
PLT-EVA Say when.
CDR-EVA Okay, wrong way.
PLT-EVA Not moving, huh?
CDR-EVA No.
CDR-EVA Here it comes.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 19 02 31 SPT And did you roll the - INHIBIT the ROLL there, Jer?
1613
CDR-EVA Yes, I did.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA That's good, Bill.
SPT Okay now, unlock and open 56 door first, Jer.

Have you done that?
CDR-EVA No, not yet.
SPT What you're going to do is take the - the new 56

and put that on the temporary stowage hooks.
CDR-EVA I could do that now. Just a minute.
B59 19 03 29 SPT Okay, Bill, you can retract it at 1 or leave it

there.
CDR-EVA Rather than retract it a little bit, Just leave

it. I can work around it.
SPT Okay, Jer, Just - you know the operation. Just

let me know what you're doing here. And - and
I'll try to keep you honest.
CDR-EVA Okay. I'm hooking 56 on the temporary hook now.

And I'm going up and open the door.
SPT Okay, and you open the door and take the used 56
out and put it on the boom.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT And make sure you lock it.
359 19 05 13 CDR-EVA Okay. Take it away, Bill.
PLT-EVA 0kay.
CDR-EVA _ll right, now I'm going to put the new canister
in.
SPT Okay, install it and lock. Make sure you push

that little button on the side that locks it.
CDR-EVA All right.
/
1614 ___
SPT And, Bill, you retract the boom and remove 56

from the boom.
PLT-EVA It's in work.
359 19 05 59 SPT Okay, 15 seconds here, we're going to give it the

nominal H-CAGE.
359 19 06 14 SPT MARK.
SPT Okay, we're going into a nominal H-CAGE.
359 19 06 35 SC (Tone, warble)
SPT CLUSTER ATT.
CDR-EVA Okay, 56 is in, the flag is showing, and the but-

ton is closed.
SC (Tone, continuous)
CDR-EVA And I'm going to close the door now. Sounds like
you gotproblems, Ed.
SPT Yes. We've got a CLUSTER ATT and an ACS MALF.

Hold on. I think it's because of this nominal
H-CAGE. Stand by.
PLT-EVA See if you can see any TACS firings, Jer.
SC (Tone)
CDR-EVA No, I don't see anything yet.
359 19 07 40 SPT Yes, we got a big high rate in X. I'm not sure
I believe it.
CDR-EVA Well, let's see if we can see any stars. You see
any rotating? Does it look like it's rotating to
you?
PLT-EVA Yes, we're rotating. I can see the stars moving.

CDR-EVA Yes, we are.
SPT All right, hold on. That nominal H-CAGE didn't

go.
1615
SPT Tell you what, I'm Just going to go STANDBY here

a moment.
359 19 09 22 CDR-EVA Getting any TACS firings at all, Ed?
SPT Well, I was there at the beginning, yes. I sure

had them pumped out - pumping out there.
CDR-EVA Still rotating.
359 19 09 42 SPT We're really wrapped up about X.
359 19 lO 40 SPT Okay, I'll tell you what, why don't we Just press
on with the film and - right now I think - let me
Just check a few things. I think we got it squared
away here. Hold on.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT We got a CLUSTER ATT because we had a CLUSTER

HIGH RATE.
CDR-EVA And we got the CLUSTER HIGH RATE as a result of

f_ goingto nominalH-CAGE,huh?
SPT That's right.
CDR-EVA That's peculiar.
SPT And also we got an ACS MALF. Hold on here.
359 19 ii 19 SPT And we were really going off attitude in a hurry,

too.
CDR-EVA How do the gimbals look, the CMGs?
SPT Number 3 looks a though it's bumping up there.

What I did was go to STANDBY; put in a 30-minute
maneuver time and went back and hit SI and put in
a 20-minute maneuver time. Now let me Just see
what my - Just hold on, let me ...
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA And EV-1 has 3.6 and no lights.
CDR-EVA Okay, EV-2 has got 3.67 and no lights.
_ PLT-EVA Which film do you want next, Jer?

i
1616 _-
CDR-EVA I think S052 comes next. I'll go ahead and rotate

us on to it.
CDR-EVA Yes, S052 is the next one up.
359 19 12 55 CDR-EVA Okay, and I have the ROLL, INHIBITed.
PLT-EVA You ready for S052, Jet?
CDR-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA That's good.
359 19 15 19 SPT Okay, we're at 30 degrees out and I think we're

going back. I think we got the situation under
control, but I'll be darned if I understand the
situation of how we ever got wrapped up so fast.
CDR-EVA Boy!
SPY Boy, we really started rotating, too.
CDR-EVA So all and all, you - it must have been the TACS
that did it.
8PT Yes. I don't understand that, though. I gave it

a 52029. Exactly at 17 minutes before. Okay,
I'll tell you what, when they come up I'll explain
to them what the situation is, but until then let's
press on.
B59 19 15 55 CDR-EVA Okay, we have the 52 film down here and it's on
the temporary stowage hook. And I've opened the
door. And I've taken the old film out and I've
got the old film on the boom now. And Bill can
retract.
SPT Okay, you retract it and - -
CDR-EVA Just a minute, Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Hold it, Bill.
SPT Hold it. Make sure you get everything locked ...
down there.
1617
CDR-EVA Yes, that hook didn't look to me like it locked

right. All right, now do it. You are good.
359 19 17 38 CDR-EVA Okay, the 52 film is installed and I have a white

flag. Going to close the doors. Boy, these
magnetic catches are nice and strong.
CDR-EVA Okay, the door is closed, locked, and the flag is

up. Rotate on to the next one now, H-ALPHA 1.
PLT-EVA Stand by; that's in work.
CDR-EVA ROLL is INHIBITED.
CDR-EVA You managing to stay up with us, Ed?
SPT Well, right now I'm Just taking note of something

here.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay, you got the 52 back in the FAS. Is that

correct? And it's locked?
359 19 18 44 PLT-EVA Affirmative.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA And I've rotated the canister to H-ALPHA i.
SPT Let me check a few things with you, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT 52, did you get a white flag?
CDR-EVA Yes, I did.
SPT And did you lock the door?
CDR-EVA Sure did. And you got a white flag on it too?
SPT And your ROLL is to INHIBIT?
CDR-EVA Right. It's INHIBIT.
SPT Okay, now you got H-ALPHA 1 coming?
CDR-EVA Right. We're aligned with H-ALPHA 1 and waiting.

1618 _
359 19 19 09 SPT Okay, why don't I talk to them when they come up
here and you fellows can work H-ALPHA i. Let's
see whether there's anything peculiar there. No,
it looks straightforward.
CDR-EVA Okay, what come after H-ALPHA i, H-ALPHA 27
SPT No. (Laughter) No, I've got that ...
CDH-EVA That's it, isn't it?
SPT Yes, I got some magazine check to do in here.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT What you may want to do when we get into the day-
light, Bill, is to get that S020 exposure going
again. Oh, no, we're not in - we're not in SI
yet, so let me talk to them.
PLT-EVA Say when.
CDR-EVAGood,Bill,good.
359 19 19 53 CDR-EVA Okay, I'm tethered.
SPT Houston, Skylab.
359 19 20 h2 CC Skylab, we got you through Carnarvon for 4 minutes.
SPT Okay, Story, let me tell you about our nominal

H-CAGE. At 17 minutes to go in night we entered
a 52023 for nominal H-CAGE. Around 1 minute later
we got a warning for CLUSTER HIGH RATE. We were
greater than 0.3 degrees per second in X and in-
creasing. We got out to around 40 degrees and
were not slowing down. I took a couple of actions.
Went to TACS ATT HOLD for a short while to bring
our rates down. Went to STANDBY. _htered a
20-minute maneuver time. Went back to SI. And
that's what we're returning to now. I show we're
16 degrees out and coming back at 0.33 degrees
per second.
359 19 21 33 CC Thanks, Ed, we're looking at it.
SPT And we also got ACS MALF indicating a - -
CDR-EVA Take it away, Bill.

, 1619
SPT CMG SAT a couple of times during that maneuver.
359 19 22 00 CC Okay.
SPT In the EVA we're pressing on with the ATM film

retrieval. And I imagine when we get back to SI
here we can pick up with the S020 operations until
we get squared away for that maneuver again.
359 19 22 24 CC Okay, Ed.
359 19 22 49 CDR-EVA Okay, Ed, the new H-ALPHA is in. I've got a white
flag; it's locked well. The lock button has been
pushed. And I'm closing the doors.
SPT Okay, you want to retract the boom, Bill, and - -
CDR-EVA That's in and I've got a white flag on the doors.
PLT-EVA In work.
CDR-EVA Okay, now, you Just lean back there and make sure
that your -
SPT I'll tell you what you do first now, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Go ROLL, ENABLE.
CDR-EVA ROLL, ENABLEd.
SPT ROLL, RIGHT to align the Sun end.
CDR-EVA Okay. Stand by.
359 19 23 38 CDR-EVA We're rolling to the right.

CDR-EVA Okay, we're aligned with Sun end and ROLL is INHIB-
ITed.
SPT Okay. And POWER, two, to INHIBIT.
CDR-EVA Okay. PRIMARY, SECONDARY, INHIBIT.
SPT Okay, now, if you just want to lean back here.
CDR-EVA I'm well clear.

359 19 2h 16 CC Skylab, we're a minute from LOS and 2 minutes to

Honeysuckle.
CDR-EVA Don't forget your visor, Bill.
PLT-EVA I got it. Thank you.
SPT Okay, Story, and we're picking up on 2-2 or 2.2-21

on the check out on 1 - panel 130.
359 19 2h 36 CC That's okay, we're with you, Ed.
SPT Okay, FILM RESET. I'll read these good things out
to you, Jar; and nothing you can do except stand
by and watch it all. If you can see anything.
Panel 130, FILM RESET going to H-ALPHA. Okay.
And hitting the RESET. And H-ALPHA goes to 1600 -
16000, the way it should. CAMERA, H-ALPHA l,
POWER, ON. ON.
359 19 25 2h SPT H-ALPHA NIGHT INTERLOCK switch to OVERRIDE. Going

359 19 25 30 SPT READY/0PERATE light is off. H-ALPHA l, AUTO

switchMANUAL for 60 seconds. Frame - decrease by
10, verify. And did that at 45. And they're
cou_ting down, so I think you did a good Job on
H-ALPHA l, Jer.
CDR-EVA Good show.
PLT-EVA And the solar image is starting to come in on S020.
SPT I'll tell you when we're there.
359 19 26 09 CC We're back with you through Honeysuckle, 3 minutes,

Skylab.
SPT Roger.
SPT Boy, I would sure like to know what the hack

happened there. I think we might have had a CMG
up against the stop, but it sure put a lot of
rate into one axis.
CDR-EVA ...
1621
SPT Okay, I even gave it a little bit more. (lkay.

That looks good. H-ALPHA I, FRAMES REMAINING,
decrease, 10.

359 19 26 58 SPT Okay, X-HAY TELE.
SPT Let me check these fellows off as we go.
SPT And for Jer, transfer down to the station there.

You might want to - might want to get those set-
tings verified onthe DAC, Bill. I'll give them
to you now if you like.
PLT-EVA Okay. Stand by. Got them - -
CDR-EVA Tell me when you're ready.
359 19 27 25 SPT Okay, FRAMES REMAINING on X-RAY TELE, 6000.
359 19 27 33 SPT CAMERA POWER switch, ON. CAMERA POWER going ON.

START. And FRAMES indicator decreasing by - de-
creasing by I0. Well, we'll watch until it
decreases by i0.
SPT Well, now hold on here.
SPT Okay, there it goes. That's right, that was a

20-second - 27-second exposure.
359 19 29 27 SPT We're 4 degrees out in X still.

1622
PLT-EVA Looks like we're almost there, Ed. S020 is almost

centered.
SPT That's why we got a pretty wide tolerance there.
359 19 29 59 CC Bill, Houston.
359 19 30 00 PLT-EVA Go.
CC Bill, how was the alignment on S020 when you went

to stowage on it at the end of the last dayside
pass?
PLT-EVA It was precisely as I reported earlier, with the

- very slight bias of the large circle out toward
the minus X.
359 19 30 25 CC Okay.
PLT-EVA And it looks like it's almost where it was now.

And Ed's telling me we're still Just a little bit
out.
SPT We're 0.6 degrees out - Well, hold on here.
PLT-EVA Which is almost where it was; it looks real close.
SPT Yes, we're right on there. We're right on there

now. Tell you what. Hold on - -
PLT-EVA I'll buy that.
SPT Don't - don't start it yet. Let me - let me

finish up something here.
359 19 30 49 PLT-EVA I'll wait for your mark.
SPT I'll tell you what. I can - I can go ahead and

do that. Just tell me when you're going to start
it.
PLT-EVA Okay, I'm Just going out there now. Okay. Stand
by -
359 19 31 14 PLT-EVA MARK.
SPT Okay, we're counting down again. Okay, let me

Just press now with these checks here.
1623
CDR-EVA Okay. Story, we're Just crossing the southeast

coast of Australia?
359 19 B1 29 CC That's affirm.
PLT-EVA Yes. Tasmania down there, I think.
SPT Actually ... expecting ... - -
PLT-EVA New Zealand can't be far away.
359 19 31 37 CDR-EVA Right. What's new in New Zealand? I got to turn

around here and rubberneck for a little bit.
PLT-EVA Yes, it's a great time for it.
CDR-EVA Don't get to do this often enough. Holy cow!

What a viewl
359 19 32 13 CC Skylab, we understood you started S020 again. And

until we get regrouped here on you APCS, I would
like you to proceed with the Sun-end fi]m replace-
ment.
CDR-EVA 0kay, we'll do her.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA Any guesses as to why that happened, Story?
359 19 32 38 CDR-EVA Bill, you suppose New Zealand's under those clouds
right there?
PLT-EVA I've lost my sense of direction right along in

he re.
CDR-EVA Well, no. We're still too close to Australia. It's

right up there.
PLT-EVA Yes, it could be a little ahead of us a little bit.

It does look like there's an awful lot of cloud
cover up here though.
359 19 32 51 CDR-EVA Yes. Oh, I see it; there it is.
PLT-EVA Yes; I got it.
CDR-EVA Hello, New Zealand. Beautiful country.

162h
PLT-EVA Yes, it is. It's an awful pretty place.
359 19 33 12 CC Skylab, we're a minute from LOS and about 35 minutes

fromBermuda at 20:09. Our best guess is now,
Jer, that we have see a problem building up
momentum in X. We think the maneuver was probably
going all right and we didn't tough it out long
enough, but we're still working that.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 19 33 31 SPT Okay, Story, we got pretty far out in - in X at

a pretty high rate; much larger than I'd expect
for a nominal H-CAGE, at least certainly in the
attitude deviation. And all of the cameras check
out real well - the settings; all so far. We're
moving out of the Sun end. Okay.
CC Okay, Ed. We'll catch you over Bermuda on that

discussion of the attitude.
CDR-EVA Gosh! The old mountains are all clouded over.
359 19 3_ i0 PLT-EVA Yes. Clouds are lying in the little valleys in

there.
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Very picturesque.
359 19 35 23 SPT Okay. Now, Bill, we're going to get the DACs going
first, before Jerry gets moving.
PLT-EVA Well, wait a minute now. This is not regular EVA

DAC; this is documentary.
SPT This is documentary DAC.
CDR-EVA Okay -
SPT Well, I'll tell you. There's nothing in the

checklist here about the documentary.
SPT So you're going to have to use it at your own

discretion. I can give you the settings, and
the frame rate you're going to have to adjust
in the time at which you're using the ... - -
1625
359 19 34 53 PLT-EVA Okay. You see, I'm going to have to take it off
and hold it. I've got it all set up with the
settings you gave me -
SPT You got f/ll?
PLT-EVA F/ll with - -
SPT 500?
PLT-EVA 500. 1/500, right?
SPT Okay, and 24 frames a second.
PLT-EVA That 's affirm.
359 19 35 06 SPT Okay, I'll let you use your own discretion then
as to when you - -
PLT-EVA And I'll try to get the most interesting things

about - -
CDR-EVA Right now would be good, if you have it in your

hand, to get New Zealand in the background.
PLT-EVA I thought of it, but I've -
359 19 35 20 SPT A little late?
SPT Okay. So, Jer, you unclamp your own LSU and egress
the VC and translate to the VT, going over top of
twin poles.
359 19 35 28 CDR-EVA Gkay.
SPT And, Bill, we got 3 minutes and h0 seconds for the

termination of the S020 exposure.
PLT-EVA Well, okay. I'm going to let the DAC go then.
SPT Well, no. It's only 3 minutes.
PLT-EVA Well, I can't set it. It may take me that long

to set the DAC up. Well, yes, I'll tether it to
_f arm.
SPT Okay.
1626
PLT-EVA That's what I'll do. Set TV coverage here.
359 19 36 20 PLT-EVA Hold off for Just about 2 minutes, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay. We're in no rush; we've got lots of time.

The slower we go, the more time we get to
rubberneck.
PLT-EVA Okay, in that event I'm going to make one more

check of the settings. Is at f/16. Is that
16 or f/ll, Ed?
SPT F/II.
359 19 37 06 PLT-EVA Infinity.
CDR-EVA How much of the roll are we supposed to shoot,

Bill?
PLT-EVA We get to shoot all of it.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA Boy, it's going to be a Job Just holding this

button down. I keep changing the settings every
time I reach for the butties - button. Went to
f/22. Okay, let me check it again. Doggone.
359 19 37 4h SPT Okay, Bill, you got a minute and 27 seconds to

terminate that exposure here.
PLT-EVA Let's Just wait then.
PLT-EVA Okay, a handheld isn't the way to go out here with

this camera. I'll try to - to get some. Okay,
I'm going to hold off until we terminate S020.
359 19 38 25 SPT Okay, we got h6 seconds to go. And then we'll

get you set up for another one. Why don't you
go to stowage while we get our timer all set up
for this - -
PLT-EVA I will.
SPT - - 30-minute exposure here. _
SPT Okay, 15 seconds.
SPT 5, _, 3, 2, 1 -
1627
359 19 39 13 SPT MARK.
PLT-EVA Story.
SPT Okay - -
PLT-EVA That was right on the money.
359 19 39 19 SPT Okay, we're going to give it a 30-minute one

here, and let me get the thing set up here.
SPT Okay. Are we ready?
359 19 39 43 CDR-EVA That's going to be what, frame n_her 2?
PLT-EVA That 's right.
SPT Frame number 2 coming up. Okay, whenever you're

ready, I'll give you a start.
PLT-EVA Okay, give me a start.
F 359 19 39 53 SPT MARK. Okay, let's press on. We ought to finish

that exposure this time.
CDR-EVA Lights, camera, action!
SPT Get ourselves to the right page here.
359 19 40 07 PLT-EVA Man, this is really bad. I'm going to have to

hold the camera around here like this.
SPT Okay, you get him translating, Bill, the best you
can.
CDR-EVA Okay, here I go. Let's see. I got to roll back

under it first and then over the top.
359 19 41 20 CDR-EVA Okay, I'm at the transfer workstation. I'll tuck

my tootsies in the restraints. Okay.
SPT All right, hold on here, Jer; we'll give you the
next words here.
PLT-EVA Okay, I took 12 percent.
SPT Okay. How about an EMU status check?

1628 --
PLT-EVA Okay. Just wait a minute. I'm -
359 19 42 00 CDR-EVA Hey, you know some of these little disks on S -

Slh9 are popping off and floating away.
SPT Is that right?
359 19 42 08 CDR-EVA Yes, the ones that are about the size of a
dime with a bunch of little bitty ones on it
about 1/8 inch in diameter. I see one missing
on the plate that's facing me, and three of the
other five are peeling up.
SPT Okay, you may want to mention that to them when

they come around the corner again.
CDR-EVA Well, it's on the recorder now, since we got the

recorder running.
SPT That 's true.
359 19 42 33 PLT-EVA Okay, Ed, I'm ready.
SPT Okay, on panel 321, SUN END BOOM, EXTEND

approximately 1 foot, deploy boom hook, and
verify boom hook unlocked.
359 19 h2 h3 PLT-EVA In work.
SPT Okay - Aw, heck; hold on. It's Just a momentary.
CDR-EVA Must have grazed a stop or something. Also for

the record, on the two crossways S149 plates,
you have one little patch of area there with
four little round patches about as big as a
dime. The color of them right now is kind of
a cream or a tan color, and Just about every one
of them is peeling up as well. None of them have
disappeared yet, but one of them is rolled up
about halfway.
SPT Okay, Jer?
CDR-EVA Yes.
359 19 h3 33 SPT Now what you're going to do before you - Well,

you want to finish the description, but you're
going to remove the restraint from the Slh9
1629
crank and rotate 149 crank slowly clockwise, to

close cassette arms, at 7 revolutions per second.
B59 19 4B 46 CDR-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA 7 seconds per revolution, you mean.
SPT 7 seconds per revolution, yes.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Yes, there is a difference.
CDR-EVA Wouldn't want to overdrive it.
SPT You'd really have them all flying then.
359 19 44 15 CDR-EVA You have to get out of your foot restraints to

do this, didn't you, Ed?
SPT I had to get out of one of them, I believe.
CDR-EVA Well, let me try staying in then. I'm out of

r- bothrightnow.
SPT Well, you may have to. Tell you, it's a real
stretch; no doubt about it.
CDR-EVA Yes, I guess I can do it.
359 19 44 57 SPT You know it's possible, if you build up enough

bias in axis, you can end up with that kind of
situation. But, mau, I'll tell you. If you're
not expecting it and you get a vehicle high rate
and you're accelerating and you're way off
attitude, m_n, that's no time to be sitting
there pondering.
CDR-EVA Clockwise, he said. Okay, there went another

patch Just when I touched it.
B59 19 45 16 SPT Why don't you tell them which one it was?
B59 19 45 18 CDR-EVA Oh, heck, they're all gone now!
SPT Is that right?
CDR-EVA All six of them. Looks like they've popped some

fittings.
1630
PLT-EVA Son of a gun.
SPT Man, that 's a shame.
359 19 45 27 CDR-EVA Yes ; their bonding is Just not holding. Every

on of those dine - dime-sized ones that have the
little bitty 1/8-inch ones paste - pasted on, that
look like bronze or copper. Every dang one of
them, darn it !
SPT That 's a shame.
CDR-EVA And Just as soon as I touched the crank is when

they went. I hope we don't lose any more. Now
that tells something.
359 19 h6 00 CDR-EVA Okay, I'm starting to crank.
CDR-EVA Let's see if I can see which panel that's on.

I thought all these panels had numbers, but I
don't see any.
PLT-EVA Yes, they do some place.
PLT-EVA Well, it's probably down at the other end, away

from you.
CDR-EVA Yes.
359 19 47 08 CDR-EVA Okay, the doors are closed now.
CDR-EVA Okay. I'm still turning the cra_k, though. I

think I've got a lot of cranks to go with them - -
SPT Yes.
CDR-EVA - - while the latches drop.
SPT Okay, Bill. And you have taken a SUN END BOOM
and EXTENDED it approximately 1 foot to deploy
the boom hook and verified the boom hook is
unlocked?
359 19 47 39 PLT-EVA That's affirm.
SPT Okay. You EXTEND the BOOM to VT as directed by

EV-2. He's expected to get down in that direction
, 1631
anyway. You don't want to leave it out there too

long, however, because of the sunliEht constraints
on that.
PLT-EVA Okay, I'll - Jer, you about ready?
CDR-EVA You can start it out. I don't know now many

turns it takes, but I still got a few to go, I
think.
SPT Yes, most of the turns are - is out there in a

locking mechanism.
359 19 48 l0 CDR-EVA It's beginning to feel tighter though.
359 19 48 14 PLT-EVA Okay, it's finished.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 19 48 18 CDR-EVA Am I supposed to lock the handle again?
SPT Crank - Here. Let me read it to you. Crank

clamp handle clockwise to unlock the clamp.
Crank clamp crank clockwise - -
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT - - to unlock the clamp. Depress clamp lever

and remove assembly from solar shield and place
on boom hook and lock.
359 19 48 43 CDR-EVA That's far enough, Bill - for now anyway.
359 19 49 07 CDR-EVA Crank it clockwise, huh?
359 19 h9 12 SPT Let's see. Crank clamp counterclockwise to

unclock - -
CDR-EVA Counterclockwise. Okay, you said clockwise.
SPT Excuse me, Jer. I'm still thinking ACS.
CDR-EVA Well, I've now forced it in tighter to the

clockwise position. I may have Just done _self
in.
359 19 49 48 CDR-EVA Afraid I better tether this thing before I start

heaving on it. I'm liable to flip it right off
the Sun end of the workshop, and it'll be gone.
1632
SPT You know when I went out there last time and had
to open and close that thing, it was really
difficult for me to do it even though I'd started
out going in the right direction.
359 19 50 31 PLT-EVA Okay, I'll get a few more frames here.
CDR-EVA You're probably looking right into the Sun, aren't

you?
PLT-EVA No. I can get into a position where I'm not.
PLT-EVA You're always looking - you know - I mean during

the daytime, you're always -
359 19 50 56 CDR-EVA Okay, I got it. Now I'll see if I can get it free.
359 19 51 42 CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, why don't you send me out a friendly -
a friendly boom.
PLT-EVA Okay. Now before you attach it, let me get the
DAC running again.
CDR-EVA
0kay. 4
CDR-EVA That 's good. Very good.
PLT-EVA Okay, now stand by.
CDR-EVA All right.
CDR-EVA Okay, here we go.
359 19 52 28 CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, pull it in.
PLT-EVA Like to get a shot of that thing coming in, too.
CDR-EVA Yes. It's too bad I can't take that camera out
here and get a shot back at the workshop.
359 19 52 _8 SPT Okay, you're going to take and put that on the
F-7 handrail, Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay. Okay, I put the DAC up here now.
359 19 53 28 PLT-EVA That's in work. F-7, you say?
SPT F-7 _ that's affirm.

1633
359 19 5h 17 CDR-EVA Boy, the Sun really weathered the paint, didn't it?
PLT-EVA Sure did.
CDR-EVA All the - all the pure-white paint up here is now

tan, beige.
359 19 5_ 30 SPT But you notice, Jer, there's some places where
the - the sunlight has been shaded. And the
first pla - place is perfectly white, and there's
other places where it's been shaded, and it still
is kind of a beige. But it's not the same - -
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT - - same degree as - -
CDR-EVA I see underneath the S055 and the FSS doors. The -
There's very light spots there where they open up,
but H-ALPHA 1 is more of a beige and S082B,
n11m]_er2; number i, also. Maybe it Just means that
S055 and the FSS are open more.
_. SPT Could
be.
359 19 55 l0 PLT-EVA I'll tell you, it's going to take me loads more
time to - to locate F-7 than to put this in airlock.
SPT All right.
359 19 55 39 CDR-EVA You're right, Ed. It's spectacular.
SPT It sure is. Wait until you get your little booties
out there in the VF. And what I want you to do,
Jerry, is to get your booties out there close
your eyes, and lean back as far as you can. And
then open them up (laughter).
CDR-EVA (Laughter)
SPT I'll bet you your UCTA gets a workout.
CDR-EVA (Laughter)
359 19 56 21 PLT-EVA Okay, lh9 is stowed.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA And locked.

163h
SPT Okay, when you get back out there, we'll start
working on the VS tree.
359 19 56 35 PLT-EVA I'm ready.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA All right - -
SPT - - VSC - Retract the VSC - the VS tree from the

receptacle. That's remove it and attach it to
the tree and lock it - -
CDR-EVA ... lock the boom.
359 19 56 57 SPT Attach the VF tree to the boom.
CDR-EVA Very good, Ed. Hey! If I could clap, I would.

Finally got it.
SPT Should never try to think of two things at the

same t ime.
CDR-EVA Right. You're like me. You've got a one-track --

mind, Ed; can't dance and chew gum at the same
time.
SPT Yes, I'm that way, all right.
CDR-EVA Gee, I could lay out here and get a suntan.
359 19 57 h9 CDR-EVA You know, those wings on the workshop don't look
as big as I imagined them. Okay, Bill, that
should suffice.
359 19 58 0h SPT Okay, when he gets out there to - to the end,

Bill - or Jerry, you remove the ¥S tree from the
boom and stow it in the receptable on the solar
shield and lock.
CDR-EVA Okay. Let me see if I can't find a place to

tether to it.
SPT Yes. That - -
PLT-EVA Okay, I've got to get a few more feet here.
CDR-EVA Okay, it's free. Did I catch you too quick, Bill?
PLT-EVA No. Just wait a second. Okay, now do something.

1635
359 19 58 _4 SPT I'ii tell you. What he's going to do is transfer

i around, but first of all, you've got to remove
his slack from his LSU to approximately 35 feet,
Bill. You do that first thing, then you can get
them some good shots going around the corner.
PLT-EVA Well, trouble getting - working this camera than

it is doing any of these other EVA tasks. Okay,
supposed to pull it out to how far, Ed?
SPT 35 feet.
359 19 59 2& CDR-EVA Okay, it's in the VS - Tree is in the - in the

shoe up here.
SPT Okay, when he gives you enough umbilical, you hop

out of that and go around into the VS foot re-
straints.
CDR-EVA Okay. I think you better RETRACT the boom a ways,

so I don't catch it or get tangled in it.
359 19 59 _3 PLT-EVA That's in work.
CDR-EVA In fact, you probably ought to Just RETRACT it all

the way in, shouldn't you?
PLT-EVA It's probably in the checklist.
SPT Well, let's Just see here. That's right. Direct

boom - Bring it back in.
359 20 00 18 CDR-EVA Okay, I'm going to start transfer - -
PLT-EVA Hey, Jer, wait Just a minute. Let me get a picture

of you doing that.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA Take me about 2 minutes to get ready here, though.
CDR-EVA All right.
359 20 00 32 CDR-EVA Here we come up over South America again.
CDR-EVA Oh, we must be over the - Panama. This is the

Central American isthmus, I believe.
1636
PLT-EVA Boy, these cameras sure weren't made for handling

with a suit. Keep changing the setting. I don't
know how these are going to turn out. I've veri-
fied them several times.
CDR-EVA Okay?
PLT-EVA Okay. Go, Jer.
359 20 01 21 CDR-EVA Here I go. Alley oop!
359 20 01 h0 CDR-EVA Okay, that worked.
PLT-EVA Okay, I shot up - well, almost 25 percent so far.
CDR-EVA Good.
359 20 01 55 SPT Okay, Jer, get in the foot - -
CDR-EVA Hey, Ed, I'm in the foot restraints.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA Hang on.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Bill, why don't you get his LSU looking reason-
able, not too much slack in it. And EMU status
check.
359 20 02 08 PLT-EVA All right. EV-1 has got 3.6, no lights. And,
Jer, do you have enough umbilical? Are you all
right ?
CDR-EVA Yes, I feel fine.
PLT-EVA Okay, I've got it just about right, I think.
CDR-EVA Okay. EV-2 has got 3.67 and no lights.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 20 02 24 SPT Jer, here comes the change. It's retract the
manual-aperture-release pin from 82_A door. First
of all, is the 82 door open?
CDR-EVA Yes, it is.

F_ 1637
SPT Very good. All the way?
359 20 02 36 CDE-EVA Yes. It's all the way back onto the ramp.
SPT That's good news to hear. Okay, retract the

manual-aperture-release pin from 82A door by
turning counterclockwise until free and pull.
359 20 02 47 CDR-EVA All right. 82A.
SPT That's good to hear. I was afraid all along there,

they mi@ht have been taking pictures of the - par-
tially closed door.
CDE-EVA Oh, wouldn't that have been awful.
SPT Sure would' ve
359 20 03 04 CDE-EVA Okay, I've undone it and pulled it.
359 20 03 08 SPT Okay, now manually move the SAL door clear of
aperture; then lift the latch to hold the door
open.
359 20 03 14 CDR-EVA Okay, that's done.
SPT Well, okay. Have you - have you got the latch?
CDR-EVA Yes, sir.
SPT That - was that latched, though, when you came

out?
CDR-EVA No, I just did it.
SPT Okay. Very good. Now unlock and open 82A con-
tainer door.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 20 03 33 SPT Remove 82_A container and stow in temporary stow-

age container.
359 20 03 54 CDR-EVA Aah, it's in work. And I'm Supposed to fold the
handle as it comes out.
359 20 04 25 CDR-EVA Okay. It's in the temporary stowage container.

1638 A
359 20 Oh 28 SPT Okay. Open 82A ATM door and push the button and
rotate handle to unlock.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Move locking handle to release mag.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Partially remove used mag, fold handle by pressing

release button, and complete removal.
359 20 04 h8 CDR-EVA That's done.
SPT Okay. Align container and mag arrows and insert

mag into container.
CDR-EVA 0kay. Done.
359 20 05 03 SPT Verify handle on msg below container door seat.
CDR-EVA Okay.
35920 05 ii CDR-EVAAndthey'redone.
SPT Okay. Close and lock 82A container door.
CDR-EVA All right. Done.
SPT Remove 82A from temporary stowage container and

install partially. Extend handle by depressing
release button.
359 20 05 28 CDR-EVA Okay. Stand by.
PLT-EVA Before I arrange that, Ed, how are we doing on

S020 time?
359 20 05 44 SPT We got 4 minutes and 7 seconds to go.
PLT-EVA 0kay.
SPT I got our EVENT TIMER with the TONE ENABLED; so

I think we might be able to get in another 8-minute
exposure during this orbit.
359 20 05 56 PLT-EVA All righty.

1639
SPT Take this a fourth frame. Thir - Third frame is

a 15-minute, which we will not be able to - I'Ii
tell you what. You can Just move from one to the
other, can't you?
PLT-EVA Sure.
SPT Well, you're able to move right from, say,

frame 2 to frame 3?
PLT-EVA That 's affirmative.
359 20 06 17 SPT Tell you what. That's what we'll do, and I'll
Just make a note of that.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT I let the EVENT TIMER count on down to 92, then.
359 20 06 24 CDR-EVA Okay, Ed, the 82A is part way in. The handle's
extended. It's shoved all the way home. The white
flag's in front, and I've pulled the locking lever
across the front of it. Okay - -
SPT All right, now - you now verify that the white
flag is completely visible.
359 20 06 39 CDR-EVA Yes, it is.
SPT Close and lock 82A ATM door.
CDR-EVA Okay. Everything's done, I guess.
359 20 06 h7 SPT Okay, reposition clear of aperture door and advise

EV-3 ready for magazine operation check and door
closure, which we will not do.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 20 06 57 SPT Okay, here's the change. And I may have to bust
in on the middle of this. Panel 130, FILM RESET:
RESET switch to XUV SPECT. XUV SPECT, we've got,
and it's reset to a 201; it looks good. XUV SPECT:
FRAMES REMAINING indicating 01. MAIN POWER switch
going ON.
359 20 07 21 SPT MAIN POWER is ON. POWER/DOOR switch ON.

1640
CDR-EVA I wonder where we are.
359 20 07 27 SPT POWER/DOOE switch going ON. T-Ikback remains white.

READY/OPERATE light - light remains off. Well, it -
it does until it - except for the intermediate
logic. WAVELENGTH talkback, LONG or SHORT,
indicates POWER, ON. Yes, we've got it. MODE
switch to TIME; it is. START/STOP switch to START
and then STOP and make sure we decrement by i.
Okay, going to a START. It's got itself an OPERATE
light. We're going to a STOP, and it decrements
by i. You did your work well. Okay, POWER/DOOR
switch, OFF; ta]kback remains white. POWER/DOOR -
Let me see. POWER/DOOR switch; okay. Ts]kback
remains white; okay. WAVELENGTH talkback, white.
MAIN POWER switch, OFF. WAVELENGTH talkback is
white. MAIN POWEE's going OFF. Okay. That's
verified. XUV SLIT: POWER/DOOR switch is OFF,
and it remains white; we do not do anything with
that. Okay. We're pressing on.
359 20 08 52 SPT Okay. 1 minute here, Bill.
PLT-EVA
Okay.
SPT I'll tell you what. Go to STORAGE. I think

that'll - then I'll be able to set this event
timer, and that way I'll get the tone, because
I don't want to miss it.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay.
359 20 09 26 CDR-EVA Hey, Bill, there's Puerto Rico out there, I believe.
See out that way? Out toward the - the end of the
solar panels?
SPT Okay, Bill, stand by - 19 seconds.
SPT 5, 4, 3, 2, i -
359 20 09 5B SPT MARK.
PLT-EVA STORAGE.
SPT Okay. Let me set her up for 8.

1641

Bermuda for 7 minutes.
CDR-EVA Roger, Story. We can see Puerto Rico and all the
Virgin Islands.
SPT Okay - okay, you going to FRAME 3 now?
PLT-EVA That's affirm.
SPT Okay, on my mark start the exposure. Okay?
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 20 i0 16 SPT MARK.
PLT-EVA FRAME 3.
SPT Okay, so this was actually FRAME l, 2, 3.
CDR-EVA Story, you know what I feel like?

F--
359 20 l0 34 CC No, but go ahead.
CDR-EVA You remember the - Did you ever see the Cinerama
picture of the guy that was a wingvalker on - on
the top of the biplane flying through the canyons?
CC I can understand the wing walking, but where are

you finding the canyons?
359 20 l0 50 CDR-EVA Well, there ain't any canyons up here, but, man,
drop your handkerchief, Story, and I'll pick it
up with my teeth.
CC (Laughter)
SPT Hey, Jer?
CDR-EVA Yes ?
SPT Lean back all the way.
CDR-EVA I did.
359 20 ll 02 SPT Isn't that a real gas - -

16_2
CDR-EVA
Yes. Whew! i
CDR-EVA Man, I'm standing up here looking at Hispanola,

Puerto Rico, all the Virgin Islands -
359 20 ii ll SPT Okay, Story, we finished up the ATM film work.

We Just checked out the Sun end of 82A. It works
good; no problems. We finished up the 60-second -
or the 60 minute - 30-minute exposure so far on
S020, and we're going to pick up the 8-minute ex-
posure on this side here. Then we've got the
15 minute and the remainder to go.
CC Okay. That's excellent, Ed.
359 20 ll 43 SPT And, Story, I've been doing a little thinking.

If we accumulated a lot of H in X, probably we
could build up to some pretty high rates. But
coming up unexpected like that, I - not having
the time to sit down and calculate anything, I
think I had no other alternative. What does it
look down there?
CC That's exactly right, Ed. We think you did just

the right thing there. We do think the system
was working right, and we did expect it to have
a large excursion in the CMG reset due to build
up in X. And we were a little slow down here in
not getting it up to you that that might happen.
359 20 12 17 SPT Okay, you want to give it a go the next time

around? 17 minutes remaining, we hit another
nominal H-cage, and this time I'll Just run around
and push out warning lights and keep an eye on
it all.
359 20 12 32 CC Yes, we're working that. We need the DAS now to

change some biases in X, Ed.
SPT Okay; it's yours.
SPT Okay, Jer. Let's pick up here. Not unless you

want to rubberneck a little out there.
CDR-EVA Well, I'm sure enjoying it, I'll tell you.

f--. 16h3
! 359 20 13 01 SPT Well, how about a nice long EMU status check?
CDR-EVA Okay. Okay. Gollee! What's all that?
PLT-EVA I don't know. What did you do, Jer?
CDR-EVA I don't know. Did it come from me?
PLT-EVA It's radiating out from what appears to be the

center of the ATM, business end ....
CDR-EVA I think it's coming from me.
SPT What is it? You just - Well, we're coming up on

sunlight - or darkness here, another 7 minutes.
359 20 13 26 CDR-EVA Well, it's a bunch of pieces of something. It

looks like rubber or - or maybe my hose is scraping
it off the side of the - Hey, that's what it is.
PLT-EVA Boy, it sure did fly in every which direction.
CC Ed, that - -
CDR-EVA Ever did it l
CDR-EVA Okay - -
SPT Go ahead.
PLT-EVA EV-I - -
359 20 13 43 CC Ed, the DAS is yours again, and the next nightside
pass here, go ahead and perform the nominal H-CAGE
at the right time. You can delay the ATT HOLD CMG
until it's settled out.
SPT Okay. Thank you, Story.
359 20 lh 05 PLT-EVA Anyway, EV-I got - has 3.6 and no lights.
359 20 14 i0 CDR-EVA Okay, EV-2's got 3.67 and no lights.
SPT Okay, Jer, you can remove the VS tree from the
receptacle and attach the VS tree to the -
CDR-EVA Okay, let me get to the VT station first.

164_
SPT Yes, okay; sorry about that. And you can remove
some slack from his ,_bilical and Just manage it. !
B59 20 14 B0 PLT-EVA In work.
CC And, Ed, the maneuver pad you got on board is good;

you'll need to reload the maueuver time in
l0 minutes.
SPT Roger, Story; was just getting to it. Thank you.
B59 20 14 58 CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, you can send the boom out.
PLT-EVA Stand by. It's going to take me a second here.

I was doing a little rubbernecking of my own.
SPT Okay, Jer, what you're going to be doing is load-

ing the VS tree - yes, onto the boom, and Bill's
going to be bringing it back in.
CDR-EVA Okay.
350 20 16 28 CDR-EVA That'sgood. Stop. Stop.
PLT-EVA Did it go too far?
CDR-EVA It's okay.
359 20 16 33 CC Skylab, 1 minute from LOS. We'll see you over

Madrid in about 4 minutes; we'll be dumping the
data/voice there. Maneuver time looks good, and,
Jer, you might want to get a little more water
cooling as opposed to air cooling.
CDR-EVA Okay. Am I look - looking a little warm? I feel

quite comfortable.
359 20 16 53 CC Yes, sir, we're sure you're comfortable; we just

like to see you cooling a little more with water,
if that's okay.
CDR-EVA Sure, be glad to.
SPT Okay, we've got about 1 minute to go to terminate

that S020 exposure.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, it's attached.
PLT-EVAReadyto RETRACT? _-_

16_5
359 20 17 12 CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT 1 minute to go for that exposure, Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 20 17 25 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to stop the boom and get out here.
359 20 17 _l PLT-EVA Terminating now.
SPT Wait a minute.
PLT-EVA Ah, it's no choice. I moved the canisters.
SPT Aw, shoot. All right, 07:30 is what he got then.

Okay. Let me note it.
PLT-EVA Okay, now let - I'm going to try to get that thing
to infinity again. Boy, that is a - that mount's
been no help at all. Got this boom right in m_ way.
359 20 18 04 SPT Okay. We'll pick up that 15 one next - next orbit.
_- 359 20 18 53 PLT-EVA Think I got a better alignment. Okay, so we got

7-1/2 minutes, and we got 7 to go. Okay, I get
back in my foot restraints.
SPT What did you - You did terminate that exposure,

right?
B59 20 19 08 PLT-EVA That's up in storage.
SPT Okay, very good. We'll pick up some more on the

following orbit.
PLT-EVA I - I went to storage as soon as I saw I had moved

it.
SPT Okay. Very good. We got 1 minute to go in day

, here, and we'll pick up on bringing the boom back
in and restowing the Sun-end tree.
359 20 19 53 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm continuing to Rm'fI_ACT.
CDR-EVA See if you got the lights on, Ed.
359 20 20 h0 SPT They should be. Yes, they're on. I have not
turned them off.
16_6
359 20 21 14 PLT-EVA Okay. The VS tree is stowed up. !
CDR-EVA Okay, Ed, what's next?
SPT Okay - -

Madrid for 9 minutes. Be dumping the data/voice
here.
SPT Egress the VT foot restraints and translate to

the VF.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 20 21 hl SPT Hey, you want to get some night pictures of this,
Bill?
PLT-EVA Why don't I?
SPT Okay, hold on; I'll get you some settings.
PLT-EVA Hold on.
359 20 21 h6 SPT Okay, hold on, and give you some settings here -
good settings. Okay, at night you want f/1.8 and
60 - 1/60.
PLT-EVA Okay, you'll Just have to wait Just a minute here.
SPT Okay. You got the VS tree stowed in the VF recep-

tacle there, Bill?
PLT-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA And locked?
PLT-EVA And locked.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA Boy, you know, I sure am glad to see that S05h

work out in terms of reloading. I think that was
a good Job - -
CC Skylab, Houston.
CDR-EVA Go ahead.
1647
CC What was the status of the 82A door? And have

you pinned it?
CDR-EVA That's affirmative. It was open and almost com-

pletely up on the ramp when I found it, and I -
I have pinned it open and fixed the latch; so
it's open - open forever.
CC Okay, good.
359 20 23 00 CC And, Jer, when you finish up with the Sun end
work there, prior to pressing on the S054 filter
wheel repair, we'd like you to stow the film back
in the airlock. And we'd like to get this maneu-
ver and the 201 ops done prior to starting your
so54.
CDR-EVA Okay, I'ii just head back to the VF and stay there.
PLT-EVA Okay, just a minute. Let me try to get a shot of

this, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay. Tell me when you're ready.
PLT-EVA Okay, I'm ready. Can you see the green light
flashing? Look around if you can.
CDR-EVA Yes, I can.
PLT-EVA Beautiful. Okay, start the transfer.
CDR-EVA On my way.
359 20 23 43 PLT-EVA Man, is it hard to hold this button down!
CDR-EVA Hello, William.
PLT-EVA Okay, I'm grinding away. Just move right on up

into the field of view. That ought to do it.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 20 2h 34 SPT Okay. What you want to do now, William, is, first
of all, make sure your SUN-ENDBOOM is RETRACTED
fully and to fold the hook.
PLT-EVA Okay, hold off just a second. Got to put this

DAC - DAC away; 5-minuteoperationright there.
1648
SPT Isn't that exhilarating out there at that Sun

end, Jer?
CDR-EVA Boy, it sure is!
SPT I imagine your heart rate was up a little bit.

I'm sure mine was. Everybody ought to have an
experience like that once in their life (laughter).
CDR-EVA Okay, Ed, press on.
SPT Okay.
359 20 25 20 CC And, Bill, we're still showing just about 2 degrees

delta-T on your LCG. Have you got your diverter
valve open a little bit?
SPT Okay, we'll go it again, if I can find it.
SPT Okay, Bill, make sure your SUN-END BOOM is RE-

TRACED and that the boom is - that you've RE-
TRACED all the way. And then the receptacle is
forward - I'm sorry - the - Let me read here.
You want to bend it out of the way.
PLT-EVA I've done that.
SPT Okay. Now as far as procedures here, I guess I'm

going to have to skip around because what you want
to do is to pass the gear in. Maybe the easiest
way is for Jerry to back in there and pass the VS
and the VC trees in.
CDR-EVA Okay. Bill, as I go by, I'd like you to look me

over very closely. I don't know where all those
particles and things came from, but I think we
ought to look me over first.
359 20 26 15 PLT-EVA Okay, I will do. I think you're right though. I

think it's the paint, because I notice when I
shuffle my feet down there, there's an awful spray
of particulates out of the ... - -
CDR-EVA Well, it looks a lot like pieces of - of a clear

adhesive of some kind or epoxy or potting compound.
PLT-EVA Yes.
161_9
CDR-EVA And I didn't think it was from me, but every time
I moved,it would - it would floatout. See
anything?
PLT-EVA No, you look pretty good. I mean I can't see

anything.
CDE-EVA Very strange.
SPT Boy, you guys are noisy. All I got to say is,
don't punch a hole in that door.
PLT-EVA What door?
SPT (Laughter) The door between you and me.
CDR-EVA Why, Ed, I don't know how you can say that. As
graceful as a gazelle.
359 20 27 21 SPT Yes, a stone one. Careful, Jer. You're kicking

the living daylights out of that Nikon. It's not
going to be long for this world.
CDR-EVA _nere is it? There it is.
SPT It's - it's - It was where you Just - your foot

hitting it. Tied to occupy the same space as - -
CDR-EVA Oh, go away, Ed, and quit nagging.
SPT Nag, nag.
CDR-EVA Nag, nag, nag. I'm doing the best I can with
what I got to work with.
CC We'll get him off your back a second here, Jer.
CDR-EVA 0kay.
CC Fay attention.
SFT (Laughter) How busy can ... - -
CDR-EVA Ed, he wants to talk to you.
SFT Go ahead, Story.
359 20 28 ll CC Ed, in the next maneuver, I - we're expecting a -

an excursion somewhere around 35 to 40 degrees,
1650
and you'll probably also get the CLUSTER HIGH

RATE CAUTION and WARNINGs. And we just want you
to protect that 60-degree number. So we're ex-
pecting out around 40.
SPT Protect the 60. Okay, Story, I don't understand

your phrase "protect the 60-degree number."
CC We - we - From all we know, you did the right

things the last time. But just hold off until
you get out to around, oh, 55 degrees or so -
approaching 60 degrees.
SPT Oh, okay; I see. Very good. Will do, Story.
PLT-EVA Ed, Jerry's inside, and I'm waiting to hand him

stuff or whatever it is.
CC And we're a minute from LOS. About 25 minutes to

Carnarvon at 20:54.
CDR-EVA Okay, Ed, if you - if you will, read me the pro-

cedures on putting away T025 ; and I'll get that
outofourway.
SPT Okay, let me dig back in here. Good Lord ... do

all this stuff. Appears to be - Okay, Jer, you
want to stow the T025 assembly and AM strap;
extension boom to handrail next to 323.
CDR-EVA Next to 323.
SPT That's the extension boom.
CDR-EVA That's got to be 317 there.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA Floating out into deep space, that thing ... on.
359 20 31 18 PLT-EVA What time outside, Ed? About 3-1/2 hours?
SPT Yes. Let's see. You went out at 16:5h, and we're
coming up on 20:30; so you're 3-3/4. Okay, Jet,
I'll give you some other words on that. You
tether the T025 assembly handle to the handrail
in the ATM aft - the AM aft, next to 314.
CDR-EVA Okay.
1651
CDR-EVA Next to 3147
SPT Yes.
CDR-EVA I'm going to need another tether for that. I'ii

use my wrist tether.
SPT Well, you may be needing the wrist tether later,

Jer, when you start working the 54.
CDR-EVA Well, I'll see if I can't procure one somewhere

else.
B59 20 32 16 PLT-EVA Yes, we're running pretty short of those things,

you know. I didn't tether the S149, but I did
put it on a handrail, lock it, put it - the lock
retaining bar in position ; so it's pretty safe.
SPT Bill, did you look in that dome locker in the

0WS, which had them?
PLT-EVA Did I do what?
f SPT Before, when we were getting set, did you see

all the ones that were in the dome locker in the
OWS ?
PLT-EVA That's what - that's the one's we're using.
SPT Oh, okay. Well, you know where the other one
is if we really need it.
PLT-EVA I'm afraid it's going to stay there.
B59 20 32 58 CDR-EVA Okay, T025 is now tethered.
SPT Okay, we 'll consider that done. Yes, I 'll tell

you what. We got the S020 to go, 201, and S054.
And I really can't do much on any of them right
nOW.
PLT-EVA Okay. Particulates keep coming out here and

ricocheting off my helmet. I can't - -
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA - - figure out where they're coming from. Like

rice-sized grains. There just went another one.
1652 _
I think it's paint flaking off. In fact, it has

a lot of surface dirt to it. There just went
another one.
CDR-EVA You know, I could - It's no big - Let's see, Bill.

Are we - Did we take 201 out and mount it?
359 20 34 ll SPT You got a problem there, Bill - or Jet, in that -

that these have to be pointed within 20 degrees
of the Sun in the maneuvers itself - -
CDR-EVA Oh, yes; that's right.
SPT So I think we ought to be cautious on that. I

think it would be perfectly safe if we could
figure out the geometry, but I don't think we
ought to take a guess right now.
PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to take care of one little item

for Don Lind's experiment. He asked me to do
something.
SPT Watch out.
PLT-EVA Yes, I see it .... there. Ha!
359 20 34 h4 SPT You want to have some fun, Jer, all you got to
do is - once I hit the nominal H-CAGE - is press
your helmet up against the window in here. And
then just watch me scramble as the warning lights
are going and the rates are going berserk. Man,
I'll tell you. When you've been used to maneu-
vering around at no greater then 0.1 degree per
second, and all of a sudden this whole thing spins
up like that, you figure something's got to be
wrong.
CDR-EVA It's too bad he didn't warn you.

SPT He should have. We wasted a little bit of time
here. In the back of mymind, I was figuring,
well, that's probably - that's a possibility,
but I didn't have the time to really sit down
and calculate out what we could have gotten.
And I really didn't notice the initial - the H in X.
I noticed HT, but I didn't see what it was in X.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill.

_ 1653
: 359 20 36 09 PLT-EVA Hey, there's - If you don't mind, I'm going to

back out on that handrail. That's a beautiful
night view.
CDR-EVA Go ahead.
PLT-EVA ... See the light?
CDR-EVA Oh, yes. Down around the Black Sea area?
PLT-EVA Yes. Woo-hoo! How about that? If we'd come

out here a little earlier, we may have been
able to see Europe.
PLT-EVA You know, it really bankrupts the English language

to try to describe something like this.
PLT-EVA There's Orion up above, huh?
359 20 37 52 SPT Most of our H's and Y shouldn't be a real problem

because, boy, we got some square-looking gimbals ...
PLT-EVA Don't want to bump that thing again. Man, that

_- is a bearto get aligned.
SPT Okay, coming up for a big ENTER on this - this

thing.
PLT-EVA Yes, I think we do pass from Y to Z.
359 20 38 27 SPT There's the ENTER. Now we'll watch all this
thing happen again. Good position here. Man,
that - that X rate sure builds up fast. We're
3 degrees out in X already. Okay, we never
exceeded 0.3 though.
PLT-EVA You know, it sort of reminds me of bread crumbs,

what it looks -
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Speaking of that, I ought to have my last orange

Juice here.
CDR-EVA Hush, man, hush. You masochist!
PLT-EVA You didn't see what we's put in our in-suit drink
device, did you, Ed? (Laughter)
1654 _
SPT No, but I can tell by the way you're talking.
359 20 39 38 PLT-EVA My speech isn't slurred.
SPT I'll tell you, Jer, hanging out there on that

Sun end is beautiful.
CDR-EVA That's really something. I still ought to go out

there.
PLT-EVA Yes, I think you ought to - I ought to go out

there to check out the particulate problem.
They'll want a report on that.
359 20 40 20 SPT Okay, let me give you some words here on 201.
If S201 is not shaded, perform a minus-X tweak
maneuver. If the comet is not visible, perform
a plus-X tweak maneuver. We'll Just put in some
sm_l corrections there. Okay, we're 17 degrees
out in X. Boy, this is hard to move around in
here.
CDR-EVA Well, we want to be in position at sunrise with

S201, don't we?
SPT We got to make the maneuver with 7 minutes

remaining. I'll tell you what. I'll - If you
want to get - if you guys want to get started
on that, go ahead; but I think you better be
very cau - cautious about where you point it.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Okay, now then - -
CDR-EVA What do you say we leave the cover on it, Bill?
PLT-EVA Hey, that's a good idea, Jer. We'll do that.

I'll - -
CDR-EVA Remember, there's no way to tether it; so -
PLT-EVA Oh, that's right. Say, that's pretty clean there.

Right behind you, Jer.
CDR-EVA Yes, I'm trying to get back in.

1655
PLT-EVA Yes, you're butt - you're butting up against it

a littlebit. Let me - Here. Let me get out
of my foot restraints ... - -
CDR-EVA Why don't you just give me a push?
PLT-EVA No, I don't want - don't think you ought to do that.

Ah! Oooh.
359 20 42 06 SPT Okay, I'ii give you the 201 work, if you want.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay. It says roll spacecraft for comet viewing.

See maneuver pad. Next, unscrew four wingnuts.
Remove front cover and stow by wrist tether on
handrail next to panel 313, CABIN PRESSURE RELIEF
VALVE. Hook up power cable to 316. We may want
to hook that power cable up and hold off on that
cover, although you may want to remove all the -
those wingnuts except for one. Get them all
loosened up except for one of them ... - -
CDR-EVA I think I'll go ahead and get it clear off.
359 20 h2 48 SPT Okay. Just be careful where you point it when

we get out there. Caution: Camera must not be
pointed within 15 degrees of the Sun, to prevent
burning the photocathode.
CDR-EVA I'll tell you. What we do need, though, is we

need - I need another tether.
PLT-EVA Let me take one off the camera here.
CDR-EVA Oh, wait a minute. I know where - what I can

do. I'll fasten this to the T025 tether. It's
got a big old hook on it.
359 20 44 lh CDR-EVA Okay. It's tethered, although I could use a

wrist tether for my own wrist. Okay, the cover
is off. I'm going to deploy the power. Where
does it plug in again?
PLT-EVA ...
SPT Big 316.
CDR-EVA 316. Okay.

1656
SPT That's i017.
CDR-EVA It's supposed to be right here next to the hatch,

isn't it?
PLT-EVA Hey, Ed?
SPT Yes.
PLT-EVA We're not going to be able to use 8020 yet.
SPT Not on this next site, no.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 20 h5 57 SPT Okay, we is at attitude. Rates are small. So

we're ready to make that maneuver, and we _-ill
do that at 20:_9:30 by m_ watch.
CDR-EVA Where does it say 316 is?
SPT Beats me. It Just says panel 316 - that usual

sterling nomenclature they've got in there.
PLT-EVA Yes, I checked it out yesterday, Jer. Right -

right there under your thumb.
CDR-EVA Oh, okay.
PLT-EVA Can you ... power ...
CDR-EVA Yes. How about that. If it had been a snake, he

would have bit me.
PLT-EVA I wanted to make sure I had the right cable

yesterday.
359 20 47 03 SPT 0 - okay, I'll start reading on here so you

can start thinking about how to proceed from
here. Unstow S201. Verify bracket is fully
open and make a 30-degree angle with the
experiment to preclude the instrument from being
pointed at the Sun.
CDR-EVA Okay, it makes a 30-degree angle.
SPT And it's fully open, huh? You got the power
cable hooked up?
1657
CDR-EVA Power cable's hooked up.
SPT Have you got the front cover removed?
CDR-EVA Yes.
359 20 47 31 SPT Okay. Now we pass the 201 out to EV-1.
CDR-EVA Do you want this tether, Bill?
PLT-EVA Okay. I don't think I need the tether with the

cable and all.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA Because I - I'll handle it gently.
PLT-EVA Jer, that's frustrating, isn't it?
CDR-EVA Son of a gun.
359 20 48 15 SPT Okay, what you're going to be doing ...
CDR-EVA ...
SPT You're going to tether the $201, mount on near

side of ATM truss with D-1 handrail. Tighten
clamp. Remove tether.
SPT You - -
PLT-EVA Okay, that's in work.
SPT Okay, you understand, or do you want to hear those

words again?
PLT-EVA Give them to me again. I think I know what to

do.
SPT Okay. Tether S201, mount on the near side of

the ATM truss with D-1 handrail. Tighten the
clamp and remove tether.
SPT Okay, coming up for the maneuver, and I'm looking

for a rate of 025.
1658
359 20 49 27 SPT Get it going now. Do that general maneuver. We're

picking up some rates in X.
SPT Oh, darn it all.

CDR-EVA What's the matter?
SPT I did not go - I'm going to have to go back.
SPT It aborted. I did not go to ATT HOLD, CMG.
PLT-EVA Make these things so - Just so I'd fold them up.
359 20 51 18 PLT-EVA Is there anything holding me back? I thought I

had more umbilical - -
CDR-EVA Yes. Yes, you got your umbilical wrapped down

between your legs and over the top of your SOP,
and it's Just got you snarled.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA There it is around the top of your SOP. No, turn

to your right. There it is. Now switch it down
between your legs. There you go. Not quite.
Kick over toward me. There you go. You're fr -
you're free of it now.
PLT-EVA Ok_f, now we're about to get sunrise; so what am

I supposed to do with this? I'm going to turn it
back in toward the FAS.
CDR-EVA Yes, I think that'd be a smart thing to do.
PLT-EVA Go over here and make sure our maneuver's right

before I go - and I'm supposed to see it down
below that solar panel.
CDR-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA Let's see if we can see Kohoutek with the unaided

eye, here.
359 20 53 13 CDR-EVA Ed - or Bill, can you lower your right arm?
PLT-EVA Can you see?
CDR-EVA Not quite.

1659
PLT-EVA Okay, let me get out of my foot restraints, and

I can get my headunderneath here.
CDR-EVA Good.
PLT-EVA How's that?
CDR-EVA That 's perfect.
359 20 54 30 CDR-EVA See the clouds shine is - Sun is shining into

the clouds.
CDR-EVA There - there's a star. I think Kohoutek's right

near that.
CDR-EVA Boy, it sure popped out of there.
PLT-EVA Sure did.
CDR-EVA I remember from taking my last Kohoutek pictures,

it was near that star.
PLT-EVA The bright one that's Just rising?
F_ CDR-EVAYes.
359 20 5_ 53 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear through

Carnarvon and Honeysuckle ; 15 minutes.
CDR-EVA Roger.
CDR-EVA Bill and I are Just standing here trying to see

if we can see Kohoutek rise.
PLT-EVA It ought to be up by now.
PLT-EVA I think the lights in here in the FAS have kept

us from being night adapted.
SPT Okay, Story, I ENTERED the maneuver, but we did

not go to ATT HOLD, CMG. We tried it in SI, and
I real quickly went back to SI. And the rates
are settling out. And soon as we get back to SI,
we'll be going there again.
359 20 55 37 CC Copy, Ed.
PLT-EVA That airglow sure undergoes some beautiful color

change s.
166o
CDR-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA I sure can't see Kohoutek.
PLT-EVA No, I didn't.
359 20 55 56 CDR-EVA Well, get your visor down.
CDR-EVA I guess what I got to do ...
CDE-EVA Got 201 properly shaded?
PLT-EVA Yes. No, no, it's not for the maneuver.
CDR-EVA Can't turn it any more. And - -
PLT-EVA How - how long we have to go ***?
SPT Stand by - Go ahead.
359 20 57 02 CC Ed, verify you never went to ATT HOLD, CMG.
SPT That' s verified.
CC Okay.
CDR-EVA See all that - that crud coming out?
PLT-EVA Yes.
CDH-EVA Everywhere I go, it seems to be flying. Here's

more.
PLT-EVA There's nothing abrading on your suit or anything

else. The only thing I didn't look at was the
soles of your shoes.
CDR-EVA Watch the cable there.
CDR-EVA There went another piece.
PLT-EVA Yes, they're clean.
CDR-EVA Another big piece just floated down into here.
PLT-EVA Looks like ice.
CDR-EVA What ?
i
1661
PLT-EVA It's just like ice. Ice. Yes.
CDR-EVA Oh, this comes from the ALSA.
359 20 58 23 PLT-EVA Well, I don't know. I couldn't see any coming

out of mine .... coming from inside the spacecraft.
CDR-EVA It's kind of yellow ice, though.
PLT-EVA Yes, it is.
CDR-EVA Could it be - I wonder if it could he water

leaking somewhere.
PLT-EVA Well, no.
CDR-EVA That could be LCG water, but it would have to he

leaking right at the ALSA.
CDR-EVA Bill Just put that ... there.
SPT ... we're getting back there rather slow. How

about if I change the maneuver time and go
STANDBY and then SI again?
CC Stand by l, Ed.
359 21 00 07 PLT-EVA And I've terminated.
CDR-EVA Y es.
CDR-EVA Australia.
PLT-EVA Yes.
359 21 01 19 CC Ed, from here, we don't think there's any way

to speed the maneuver up.
CC Ed, Houston.
SPT Go ahead.
359 21 02 12 CC ... part of that - those ice flakes problem.

We're - Down here we're looking at an 02 inlet
temperature of about 35 degrees on you, and you're
1662
probably Just condensing some water out of the

system. Any excess LSU that you have out, you
possibly could restow.
CDR-EVA Okay, it's all in the FAS with us now.
SPT Okay. Have you got the S201 out on handrail?
CDR-EVA Yes, it's out. It's pointed - -
PLT-EVA ... we've got it pointed back in the FAS to

protect it.
359 21 02 53 SPT Okay, if canister adapter is not completely shaded,

change spacecraft roll to do so. And that's what
we'll do in a minute here.
PLT-EVA You got 15 degrees, right? We're well - well off

of 15 degrees, but - -
CDR-EVA Yes, that's what it is. It's ice. I'm surprised

it's not whiter, though. It's more yellow.
CC Okay, Ed, lookinggood from down here.
SPT That's the second time I've done that dumb trick.
CDR-EVA Don't sweat it, Ed.
PLT-EVA We shouldn't have been distracting you, talking

about 201.
359 21 04 59 SPT Let's see. This pass ought to be over - right -

the Houston area, shouldn't it?
CDR-EVA If the last one was over the Virgin Islands, we

ought to probably come up over some place like
Del Rio or something like that?
CDR-EVA Bill, while we're waiting here, why don't you

Just ease on out? Take a look around.
PLT-EVA Sounds like a good move. Let's see. Make sure

that I'm on the right.
1663
, 359 21 06 20 SPT Okay, I'ii start reading you some of the good
1 stuff that goes alongwith this. Okay. I'll
just read it on through to give you the full
story.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Unstow 201, verify bracket is fully open, and - -
359 21 06 35 CC Jer, we don't see any problem down here, but

could you give us feel to the gas - the inlet gas
temperature?
CDR-EVA Oh, it's quite - quite comfortable, as best I

can tell. And I can feel it clear to _ feet.
It's nice and cool, and the LCG is getting
cool. What seems to be the problem?
CC We're just reading with your comments on the -

the ice flakes, and we're reading 35 degrees on
your inlet 02 temperature. Has it changed any
in the last hour or 2?
CDR-EVA I don't think so - -
CC That you know?
CDR-EVA I haven't noticed it.
CC Okay.
CDR-EVA I'm trying to stow some of this hose back in the

umbilical or - or in this sphere. I got 40 feet
pulled out; so we'll put a few feet back in.
SPT Okay. Verify bracket is fully opened and make

a 30-degree angle with the experiment to preclude
the instrument being pointed at the Sun.
CDR-EVA That's been done.
SPT Okay. If canister adapter is not completely shaded,

change spacecraft roll to do so.
359 21 07 43 PLT-EVA We ought to wait to do all this, Ed, because I -

I have it positioned. I have it aimed back in
the FAS.
1664 _
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA I'm waiting for the shadow to come into FAS.
SPT Okay. Let me just read all this stuff so you'll

know what's coming up.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT Deploy experiment ring sights, two, by releasing

latch. That you can probably do.
PLT-EVA Yes.
SPT Where the eye - Have you done that?
PLT-EVA I haven't done it, but I want to keep them closed

there until I get ready to use them.
359 21 08 25 SPT Okay. When the eye is about 6 inches from top
sight, the two rings merge to form a 20-degree
field of view. Loosen the alignment knob and
aim the camera at a point in the comet tail,
about 5 degrees down-Sun. Be sure the ATM solar
panel is not in the ring sights; 20 degrees field
of view. Tighten alignment knob. Now again,
remember that there's a large Lyman-alpha out in
front of the thing as well as to the side and be-
hind it; so you want to make sure you don't cut
it off at the beginning of the - you know, put
one side of the ring right up against the nucleus
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT You could miss a lot of the data out front. The
words are to sight aboat 5 degrees down-Sun, in
the tail.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT Allow 30 minutes for outgassing before switch

power on. Well, that's been at least 30. As
soon as comet is visible, realign if required;
then start operation. And what it amounts to
is, on 316, LIGHTING EVA, DA and ATM switches,
two, OFF, which I guess you can get.
1665
I CDH-EVA Yes, I can get it.

SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA Panel 316. All right - -
SPT Or I can get them here on 202, if you like.
CDR-EVA Well, I'm right here. I can get them.
SPT Okay. Matter of fact, you can do that right

now because we won't need those lights for - -
CDR-EVA Okay. LIGHTING, AM and DA, right?
SPT Ri - Let's see. It's DA and ATM.
359 21 09 3h CDR-EVA Okay. ATM's OFF. DA's OFF.
SPT You're 6 degrees out now, Bill. Okay.
359 21 09 46 CC Skylab, we're a minute from LOS; about 32 minutes

to Texas at 21:41.
CDR-EVA Man, am I throwing off the ice crystals now.
SPT Okay. Then you turn the POWER switch ON and

RESET switch to START. Voice record time. Note:
Complete sequence takes 205 seconds. FILM ADVANCE
light, white, flashes each film sequence. SEQUENCE
ON light, green, on continuously when exposure
sequence is in progress. After exposure sequence
is complete, green light off, recheck aiming
and then start sequence - and then start next
sequence. Need _ total of three sequences.
Okay, we got 43 minutes' worth of day here.
PLT-EVA Are we waiting for night, or are we going to do

this in daytime?
SPT No, you do it during the day.
PLT-EVA Okay, then I'm Just wondering how I'm going to

see the comet.
SPT Bill, that thing's shaded. M_ybe you can see it.
1666
SPT That's what they're depending on, Bill.

I
PLT-EVA That was a - Yes, that was the drift I was getting.
359 21 lO 53 CDR-EVA Why don't you get yourself dark adapted, if you
can in some way, by staying out of the shadow -
or staying out of the light?
PLT-EVA I can't see - Oh, yes. The shadow is just pro-

gressively moving in very, very, very, very, very
slowly.
PLT-EVA I Just can't see any - any progress in this sha-

dow at all. Maybe it is. Let's see (laughter) -
It's really weird. You can see the ... attitude
has made a perfect silhouette image on the fabric
over here at this little light.
CDR-EVA Yes. And the hook, too.
PLT Yes.
359 21 12 40 SPT You got 2 degrees to go, Bill. Now the words
are: If 201 is not shaded, perform a minus-X
tweak. Okay, I - I just was giving you a minus-
X already; so we'll have to give you a more
minus X.
359 21 13 05 CDR-EVA I think we're going to be needing some tweaking.
PLT-EVA Yes.
SPT 52O - -
PLT-EVA It looks like we're about 2-1/2 solar diameters

out.
SPT Tell you, I'll wait until we do that tweak before

I put in the zero maneuver time. Don't want to
risk trying to go back to SI with zero maneuver
time.
359 21 lh 24 SPT Okay, Bill, this says we ought to be there. You

don't agree?
PLT-EVA I don't agree.
SPT It's not mann - it's not shaded?

1667
PLT-EVA No.
r
SPT All right. Okay, we've got a maneuver time on
zero loaded. Was it ever shaded during the
maneuver?
PLT-EVA Negative. And I'd say probably 2 degrees more

real quick like and then we'll take another look
at it.
359 21 15 i0 SPT Okay.
359 21 16 05 SPT Okay, there's a negative maneuver.
SPT How' s it looking now?
PLT-EVA No, it's still in the Sun.
SPT Hovering over. Can you see any shadows moving

towards it?
PLT-EVA Yes, a little hit. It's moving now. I can see

it moving.
SPT Here -
PLT-EVA Maneuver over yet?
359 21 17 26 SPT Almost. It's 0.6 out.
PLT-EVA *_ that's going to do it.
SPT You said it will or will not?
PLT-EVA It will not do it. We have to have another one.

I think another 2 degrees may do it.
359 21 18 05 SPT Okay.
359 21 18 3h PLT-EVA Okay, now we're in shade. Shaded.
SPT You' re shaded?
PLT-EVA Yes.
SPT Okay, can you see the comet?
359 21 19 05 PLT-EVA Negative.

1668
CDR-EVA Neither can I. It's black as the ace of spades

out there.
SPT Oh, boy. Can you see any stars at all?
PLT-EVA No, not in that direction.
SPT I think the problem is you just can't get dark

adapted. Can you raise your visors once you're
in the shade?
PLT-EVA No, I've already raised it.
SPT Okay, it says: If comet is not visible, perform

a plus-X tweak maneuver.
CDR-EVA That's only going to put the Sun back in our eyes.
SPT Okay, I'll tell you what, let me perform a 1-X tweak
and see if that'll - -
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Thisis a plus1. --
359 21 19 21 PLT-EVA Think - I'm afraid this is a lost cause.
SPT 5202.
PLT-EVA I don't see any stars out there, did you?
CDR-EVA No, I can't see a thing. There's too much Sun.
PLT-EVA I can't see. Looked at that Sun a couple of times

by accident, trying to get this thing lined up
right.
SPT Yes, that just shrinks the eyeballs - the pupils

right down in a hurry, doesn't it?
359 21 20 h3 PLT-EVA I don't see there's any way we're going to see
that.
SPT When are they coming up again?
CDR-EVA Probably be over Goldstone or Texas when they do.

It shouldn't be long.
SPT Okay. Are you still shaded?

.._ 1669
, PLT-EVAYes.
SPT All right. Let me move in one - one more. We

were shaded, though - You say you were not shaded
when I - when you requested me to give that seeond
cage maneuver.
PLT-EVA That's true_ we were not.
CDR-EVA Well, I'd be surprised if we stay shaded.
SPT But that's what the instructions are, to move

another plus 1 in order to - -
PLT-EVA Why don't you move a half and then another half?
359 21 21 35 PLT-EVA Oh! I see something out there. Maybe it's one
of our pieces of ice.
PLT-EVA I think that maybe it, Jer.
CDR-EVA Whoops! Can I put my hand on your shoulders?
PLT-EVA Yes. Okay, let me see where it is. Let's get -

do this - -
SPT Okay, we ain't got too much time, so if you've

got it, let's hustle it.
CDR-EVA Oh, I see something, yes. I see a star.
PLT-EVA Yes, I don't see any tail.
CDR-EVA No, no, it's ice.
PLT-EVA I think that's a piece of ice that's floated away

from the spacecraft.
PLT-EVA Yes, it's moving pretty fast. Have you moved it

half a degree yet?
SPT No, I haven't moved a half a degree because you

had said you had seen something and I did not want
to disturb it.
PLT-EVA Yes, go ahead and enter - and enter and go back

the half a degree.
._ B59 21 22 38 SPT Okay. Half a degree. Oh, boy. Ah.

167o
CDR-EVA I don't even see what I - what that was again -

any more. Whatever that was, I don't see it.
PLT-EVA Yes, I don't either. It's gone. I think it was

a piece of ice.
CDR-EVA Yes, see - there goes another little one drifting

off.
PLT-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA See the thing is, Ed, I - Bill and I can maneuver
our heads so that the Sun is Just barely occulted
by the solar panel. And, Ed, you still can't see
a thing; not a star, nothing.
SPT Yes.
CDR-EVA There's too much light around us in here. You

know, the light on the white thing under the solar
panels and - -
359 21 23 37 PLT-EVA I suggest we do the following: Let's line up -

Just about got the Sun back into position. If we
come out any further, then I don't think we're
going to see the comet. You come out any further,
the Sun's going to be in the instruments. We're
as close to the Sun as we're going to get, why
don't we go ahead and take the close exposure
sequence?
CDR-EVA Let's go ahead and set up to do that. The ground

will be along any minute. Let's see if they con-
cur with it.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA I'm sure they will.
PLT-EVA I - I'm going to come out - going to come out of

m_ foot restrainers here, Jer.
SPT Is it still shaded?
PLT-EVA Yes, I can tell, here - Just a second.
SPT Make sure it's still shaded. If it - if it's not,

I'll move it back about 1 degree here.
._ 1671
PLT-EVA Oh, gosh, yes. Move back about half a degree, Ed.
You got to pull this thing out, too, by the way.
Move back. How much did you move there?
SPT I moved i because I couldn't have - look up a fine

maneuver. I was - was not ready to put in a fine
maneuver. They Just called coarse maneuvers here.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT So I'll go back that 1.
SPT I think I hear them trying to lock up now.
359 21 25 07 SPT Okay. Now that should do it for you. I can see
the shadow coming in there, occulting.
PLT-EVA Okay, we're occulted.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA I'm going to start moving the instrument over

towards the - -
SPT Okay, let me read it to you. Okay, if canister

adapter is not completely shaded - and you say it's
going to be completely shaded - Okay, when the eye
is about 6 inches from the type - the sight - we'll
forget that. Loosen alignment knob and aim the
camera at a point in the comet tail about 5 degrees
down-Sun. Well, do your best. You know what
they're after.
SPT Make sure the ATM solar panel is not in the ring
sight.
PLT-EVA Okay, stand by 1.
359 21 26 03 SPT And then tighten your alignment knob.
PLT-EVA Okay, the Sun's back in the field of - no, wait

a minute.
SPT I can give you one more, if you like.
PLT-EVA Half; can you give me half?
CDR-EVA Well, all right, I'll have to look up a - -

PLT-EVA No, give me i and I know we'll be all right.
SPT Just to shade you?
PLT-EVA Yes. The Sun is Just peeking around the edge of

the solar panel when I looked down to try to aim
the alignment ring.
PLT-EVA Yes, a quarter of a degree would do it, in fact.
CDR-EVA Well, heck, a degree -
PLT-EVA Seriously, Jer, I don't think a degree's going to

make that much difference. You can try - -
359 21 26 25 SPT A degree does not make very much difference at all.
There you are, you got a degree.
PLT-EVA Sun's coming through.
PLT-EVA Bright !
B59 21 27 17 PLT-EVA Okay, we see stars, but there's no hope for seeing
that comet.
PLT-EVA Okay, that looks like that maneuver's taking place

now.
CDR-EVA Yes, we've just about settled out.
PLT-EVA Don't want the solar panel in the frame.
CDR-EVA That 's right.
SPT Okay, when you've got the camera aimed, then tight-
en the alignment knob.
PLT-EVA It is aimed and I'm getting ready to tighten them

and I ought to watch this tie cable here. It's
really in the way.
CDR-EVA It's tangled around the handle on your SOP right

now. There, it's clear.
PLT-EVA Now if I could Just get over there and tighten

those things without zinging that alignment.
B59 21 28 47 SPT Okay, Jer, you got the lights off?

1673
CDR-EVA Yes, they're off.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA There's still one inside the FAS here that's on,
though. I better turn off the airlock module
lights too.
359 21 29 ll CDR-EVA Okay, now they're all off.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA Some people really like me. That's fantastic.
359 21 29 32 CDR-EVA You got it wound around this temporary restraining

hook down here too. Helps put it in your way.
There you go.
PLT-EVA Oh, that's good. (Laughter) It did the same thing

as the other one. I got ready to tighten it and
it moved the whole canister again.
I- SPT Oh, boy.
PLT-ZTA Also we're getting part of the FAS in the frame.

Well, I'm not going to - I mean their - their
hardware is self-defeating. So I'm not going to
tighten it any more because all I do is twist the
whole canister when I try to tighten it. So I'm
going to get in position here to take this thing
- ... photograph.
CDR-L_JA How much more daylight do we got, Ed?
SPT 23 minutes.
CDR-h_A Oh, good.
359 21 30 27 PLT-EVA Let me get in position here so I can operate those

switches without - -
SPT Okay, let me remind you of something, at the data

take end when we go to maneuver back, make sure
you point that thing away from the Sun.
CDR-EVA Okay.
1674
PLT-EVA Okay, now Just hold off a minute. Just a second

here so I can operate these switches. Each time
I get ready to move it I start right into it.
CDR-EVA Might help if I get rid of this camera. It's

right behind your head.
359 21 31 07 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm ready, Ed. I had that pointed in the
general area that they described. Now the - part
of the FAS is in the frame but it's - it's the
only way you can get it close to the Sun, you know,
and not have the Sun in it. But the Sun is occult-
edright behind the solar panel. Okay?
SPT Okay.
359 21 31 30 PLT-EVA I put the field of view Just below that.
SPT Okay. Tell you what. Let's get all set to go.
Gee, I hope they're going to lock up pretty soon.
I kind of hate to spend too much time sitting here.
Okay, turn the camera power switch on.
r
359 21 31 48 PLT-EVA Ed, this - Okay, it's on.
SPT 6kay, now when you - when you hit RESET, that's
when you're starting things.
CDR-EVA Let me make sure the UTILITY POWER is on?
359 21 32 06 CDR-EVA UTILITY POWER is coming on.
SPT Okay, if you folks think you're well lined up well

enough, you can go ahead and take the exposure.
I can give you a mark on a precise GMT from in
here, if you like.
PLT-EVA Okay, any time.
SPT Okay, we're coming up on 21 hours and 32 minutes

and 30 seconds. Stand by. 1 -
359 21 32 29 SPT MARK.
PLT-EVA Okay, the light's flashing _d it's doing its

thing.
359 21 32 33 SPT That was at 21 hours 32 minutes and 30 seconds.

Okay, it takes 205 seconds, which is about 325
1675
seconds - That's 3 minutes and 25 seconds. So

let's see that was at 32 - at 36 it ought to be
over and I'll tell you when that is. 5 seconds
short of 36.
SPT I don't know what it is about not hitting ATTITUDE

HOLD but I keep thinking that now that we've
changed it from coarse maueuver, that fine maneuver
to a hundredth now there was never any need for
the fine maneuver in SI. And m_ mind keeps think-
ing that's been eradicated but it's not. We still
have that little piece of logic in there. A little
unneeded idiosyncrasy.
359 21 34 09 PLT-EVA Okay, at least all the lights are flashing and
everything.
CDR-EVA How long is the exposure, Ed?
SPT 205 seconds and I'll give you a mark when it's
supposed to be over.
CDR-EVA Oks(y.
SPT 35:55. Okay, and I'll read that to you. Complete

exposure sequence takes 205 seconds. FILM ADVANCE
light, white, flashes each film advance. SEQUENCE
ON light, green, on continuously when exposure
sequence is in progress. After exposure sequence
is complete - green light off - recheck aiming
and then start next sequence. RESET switch, START,
voice record time. We need a total of three
sequences. And we'll probably be able to Just
about sneak it in here.
PLT-EVA Okay, you Just call out the actions as they come
up.
SPT Okay. You're going to - I'll tell you when you

should see a green light. And then I'll give you
a mark for starting the next one.
359 21 35 09 SPT I'll tell you what, if you want to start the next
one 5 seconds later with a RESET then that'll give
them an exposure every 3 and a - 3-1/2 minutes.
Bill, how much time do you need between those?
PLT-EVA Oh, about 15 or 20 seconds. You Just read off - -

16y6 __.
SPT Oh, all right.
PLT-EVA - - I'ii do them.
SPT Okay. Okay, let's give it to them every 4 minutes,

then.
PLT-EVA They don't c_]S for the POWER going off?
SPT At the very end they do.
359 21 35 _2 PLT-EVA Not in the middle of a sequence, if we do - -
SPT Not in the middle, no. All you use is set RESET.
PLT-EVA All we do is hit RESET switch three times, effec-

tively, is all that - -
SPT After exposure sequence is complete, that's the

green light off, recheck aiming and then start
next sequence. RESET switch to START and voice
record time.
PLT-EVA Ed, the only thing is the - the green light doesn't
really work.
CDR-EVA We're probably Just going to have to go on time,

Ed.
SPT-EVA All right.
PLT-EVA Answered my question, though, I Just repeated

RESET.
359 21 36 39 SPT Let see, we started at 33:30. I believe those

are the numbers I gave you. Okay, you may see
something. I'll give you a countdown to when you
might see anything. 4 -
359 21 36 54 SPT MARK.
PLT-EVA No, I didn't. Hey, is it time to hit the RESET

button again?
SPT Yes, I'll give you - I'll give you a _k so I

can keep track in here. Okay, another - another
l0 seconds.
PLT-EVA Okay.
1677
359 21 37 3O SPT MARK.
PLT-EVA Got it.
SPT 37 :30.
SPT Okay, I guess after we get this one done then,

Jerry, you can - We can get that thing stowed,
probably. And, Jerry, you can start out on the
S054, and I'll try and keep track of some S020
exposures for Bill.
CDR-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA I guess I'll Just go ahead and start getting

tools out.
SPT Okay.
359 21 39 24 SPT Okay, and for the record, the pointing of the
spacecraft is now a X - A phi-X of plus 340.9;
Y is zero; and Z is zero. We entered a ... of
minus 17 - excuse me - minut 19 in X. Entered
.f a 15, minus 2, a minus 2, and plus l, plus l, and
a minus l, minus 1. The l's all cancel each other
out and we're left with a net minus 19 maneuver
which was confirmed by our 340.9.
359 21 40 17 PLT-EVA Command module tank's also turning pretty fast.
CDR-EVA Oh, is it?
PLT-EVA I don't remember it being quite that brownish

when we were out before.
PLT-EVA Hate to ask this question but what is that thing

hinges out from the co_snand module? Optics don't
do that; they're in the command - I mean, they're
in the - back on the service module ...
359 21 40 53 CDR-EVA I don't know; I'll have to look.
PLT-EVA Hey - -
SPT Okay, let me tell you - -
CDR-EVA - - I see a little antenna and I see a blade.

The scimitar antenna, is that what you're looking
at?
1678 _
PLT-EVA No. See the little gold things on the command

module? That little hemisphere in that black
area. Black hemisphere - that's it - -
SPT Let's - Let's reset and get ready for another

one. I'll give you one on m_ mark, okay?
PLT-EVA Okay; ready to go.
359 21 41 44 CC Skylab, reading you loud and clear. Stateside

14 minutes.
359 21 41 45 SPT MARK.
359 21 41 46 PLT-EVA MARK.
PLT-EVA Light flash.
SPT 41. Okay, 41:25 - 41:45 - -
CDR-EVA Okay, we're on our third $201 exposure and we

cannot see the comet. There's Just too much
light up there.
SPT Why don't you tell them how you did the pointing,
Bill?
359 21 42 01 PLT-EVA Okay, the way we did the pointing - Story, do you
read?
359 21 42 05 CC Yes, we hear, Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay. We got over to the attitude and we could

still see the Sun so I sort of directed Ed until
we got shadow in the area here where the 201 is
located. We got shadow, then we tweaked the ma-
neuver so that the Sun was just occulted by the
ATM solar panel. And then I centered the S201
sightings and we looked and looked for the comet
and there's no way we're going to see it. So then
I vented the standoff eyesight or sighting mech-
anism so that it was Just off of tangency with
the ATM solar panels at the closest point to the
Sun and of course no Sun in the field of view.
And also I had to move it get - to get it out of
FAS, was getting spurious reflections, because I
didn't know if the FAS structure here would screw
!
I-- 1679
up the exposure or not, but the way it is we

should have fairly pure exposures but Just sort
of a rough guess as where the comet should be.
SPT It's just too much Sun; tell them you can't see
stars either.
359 21 43 18 PLT-EVA No, we can't see stars here either.
CC Bill, we think that's excellent. We think that's

as good as you could have possibly done on the
comet.
PLT-EVA Oh, good. Because we were just finishing the

third exposure in the sequence. (Laughter)
CDR-EVA Okay, we'll start our way back pretty soon.
SPT Story, we ended up _-ith a net of minus 19 degrees

in X as opposed to the 15. We did a little tweak-
ing once we got out to minus 19 and found that to
be optimum.
CC Okay,
Ed.
359 21 _ _6 PLT-EVA I sort of feel like Pigpen. I'm carrying around

n_ own contamination with me. These little parti-
cles flying all over the place.
PLT-EVA (Laughter)
SPT Story, when we finish this exposure, we're going

to be moving back to SOLAR INERTIAL. And then
we're going to stow 201. Jerry's going to get
lined up for the S05_ and on the next stateside
we'll also pick up on the S020 exposure.
359 21 45 22 CC Okay, Ed, that's great.
PLT-EVA And if you'll give me a little warning when this

sequence times out, I'll be prepared to move the
201 so that it's pointed back to the FAS.
SPT You have 46:10, let me give you - We got a little

while yet. Let me check my addition here with
you once again to make sure. Don't want to mess
up an exposure on them.
1680
SPT Yes, 44 - 45, that's 40 - 45:10. Okay, we're

ready. Why don't you move on back?
359 21 h6 29 PLT-EVA Okay - -
SPT ...
PLT-EVA - - the sequence, is it timed out?
SPT Yes, it is.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT And we're going back to SI so turn it away from

the Sun.
PLT-EVA Okay. I've turned it away; youVre in good shape.
SPT Turn your POWER, OFF? Got your POWER, OFF, Bill?
359 21 46 43 PLT-EVA POWER's OFF.
SPT POWER, OFF, okay. And, Jer, you can reenaBle

those lights. We're going to need them pretty
soon.
CDR-EVA All right.
PLT-EVA In fact, it won't take me but a second to take

that off and I'll Just hand it back to you, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay. My trouble is that I been robbing iTmhilicals.

I've taken two umbilicals for the tools I've got
now.
SPT They're not 1_bilicals they're tethers - -
CDR-EVA Tethers.
359 21 47 09 SPT Okay, Bill, loosen the adjustment knob of that

experiment around 30 degrees and tighten knob.
Put - Place wrist tether on 201, loosen knob,
remove experiment from ATM truss, and be careful
not to point at Sun. Pass it to EV-2 and remove
wrist tether. And, Jerry, you're going to re-
trieve the front cover, place it on the front of
the experiment and secure with the four wingnuts.
359 21 47 32 CDR-EVA All right.

1681
SPT And then stow the experiment on the handrail next

to panel 313 CABIN PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE.
PLT-EVA Okay, you can start maneuvering; I've got the

201 protected now.
SPT Okay, we 're maneuvering.
PLT-EVA Okay, 201's going back in the airlock now.
CDR-EVA Just a minute, Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA If you'll hold that for a second, I'll try to get

this cover back again.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA I did such a good job of tethering it I may not

be able to get it off. We've been out almost
5 hours now.
f 359 21 49 i0 CDR-EVA I don't believe this.
PLT-EVA What 's the matter.
CDR-EVA These nuts - these screws are just something - -
PLT-EVA Oh, yes.
CDR-EVA - - terrible.
359 21 h9 23 PLT-EVA You know I - if you get two diagonally opposite

ones - you're being bit.
359 21 h9 42 CDR-EVA Okay, it's on. It's on loosely. Now I've got to
find a tether for it. I'm going to rob the T025
filter tether. And I'm going to fasten them on
the T025 with that tether that's on that.
CDR-EVA Okay. Now, Ed, tell me again where this 201 goes.
SPT Okay. Stow experiment on handrail next to panel

313 CABIN PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE.
CDR-EVA 313, huh?
SPT Right.
1682
359 21 50 h9 CC Bill, if you got two screws in on that $201 and

they're on a diagonal , that'll suffice for now.
CDR-EVA Okay, we got them.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, hand it in. I'm going to put it hack

on 318 - or 390.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA That's more out of the way.
PLT-EVA Yes, and we got UTILITY POWER connector to go yet

too. But you can go ahead and tether it first
and then get this power connector. And while
you're doing that, I'll get these other screws.
CDR-EVA I don't think it's worth fooling with, Bill.
PLT-EVA I'm sure we got a good enough seal. There's no

doubt in my mind on that.
PLT-EVA Ahh, the sight's popped up again. Let me get

those or they'll break off.
PLT-EVA Ce_ you push toward me on it?
CDR-EVA Sure can.
PLT-EVA Okay. Now- Okay.
PLT-EVA Okay, Just another second. Okay, it's locked

now. Those things flip up pretty easy. I'll
get this utility cable here.
CDR-EVA Okay.
CDB-EVA Okay, it 's hack there.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay, I've got my two tools, and I'm ready to

head out.
SPT Okay, Jer, I'll start reading it to you.
CDR-EVA Okay.
1683
359 21 53 15 SPT Place mirror/penlight on left wrist tether.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT And screwdriver on right wrist tether.
CDR-EVA That 's done.
SPT Egress AM and translate to VC and ingress foot

restraints.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT And, Bill, you watch his tether if you want - if

you can.
PLT-EVA Okay. His umbilical, you mean?
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT His umbilical, right.
PLT-EVA Right. Okay. Man, he's moving fast today.
359 21 53 47 SPT Yes, indeed. Okay, there goes the Sun. We've
got 35 minutes of night left and we're still
maneuvering back to SI.
CDR-EVA Okay. I'm in position.
SPT Okay. EMU status check.
• PLT-EVA Stand by 1. I'm sorting out the DAC here.
SPT Okay, we'll get you a little later, Bill. How do

you look, Jer?
CDR-EVA Okay; 3.67 and no lights.
SPT Okay, position S054 door approximately 4 inches

to the left - -
359 21 54 57 CC Skylab, a minute from LOS, 5 minutes to Madrid

at 21:59 •
SPT - - of nominal alignment.
CDR-EVA Roger. Okay, POWER switches are going ON. ROLL,

ENABLEd. I'll go to the right.
J
168_
SPT Okay, 54 door approximately 4 inches to the left

of the normal alignment position.
CDR-EVA Okay, I guess I've got to go left; it stopped.
SPT Okay, I'll g - I'll give it to you. It's POWER

to ENABLE; ROLL, ENABLE; CANISTER ROTATION RIGHT
or LEFT, as required. That doesn't help, does it?
359 21 55 26 CDR-EVA That's what I'm saying. I had to go right because

apparently I got to a ROLL stop.
SPT Okay. There's a little diagram on there to your

left, Jer, up by your eyes.
CDR-EVA Yes, I was thinking I could continue going to

the right to get to it, but I can't.
SPT Yes, I - plus or minus 120 gets to you.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Bill, you got nothing to do but maybe straighten

up shop there and sit around for 33 minutes until
we get going on S020 again.
359 21 56 02 PLT-EVA Okay, I can't put any of this stuff inside for -
can I? It would Just be in his way.
SPT What stuff is that?
PLT-EVA These VS and the VC trees.
SPT I don't know why not. Sure you can.
PLT-EVA Okay - -
SPT Okay, it says nominal alignment for S054 - 4 inches

to the left of the nominal alignment. You better
wait because - Bill, hold up on that. Because I
don't think you want to be handling those things
by yourself and trying to maneuver in and out.
Let's play it safe; let's hold up on them.
359 21 56 35 CDR-EVA Okay, it's aligned.
SPT Okay, POWER - POWER to INHIBIT and ROLL to INHIB-

IT.
1685
CDR-EVA Okay, they're all INHIBITed.
SPT Unlock and open 805_ door.
CDR-EVA Okay. It's open.
SPT Okay. Lean back - no, let's see, hold on here.
359 21 57 02 SPT Okay. EV-1 on panel 321, center boom extended

directed by EV-2. That's what you've got to do.
I'm sorry, Bill, I didn't realize you got to send
that boom down.
PLT-EV_ Okay, you ready for it, Jer?
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Just a second. Do we want the hooks centered and

all this good stuff?
SPT Yes.
CDR-EVA Yes, I'm going to give you the film and you're
--- goingto take it back now.
PLT-EVA Oh, that's right.
CDR-EVA You know that doesn't make sense.
PLT-EVA Well, if you have to terminate the EVA you could

still press on in the previous mode. I thought
that maybe, you know, I - it sort of _akes sense
in a way. I guess that's the philosophy.
CDR-EVA Well, I think they also wanted to get a camera

check or something. Did you do any camera check
on 54?
SPT I sure did and it worked like a charm.
359 21 57 50 CDR-EVA Okay. I think that's what they probably wanted

too. Are you supposed to do another one after I
put this back in?
SPT I don't see it here, but that may not be a bad

idea.
PLT-EVA Jer?
1686
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA Is that far enough?
359 21 58 02 CDR-EVA Oh, I'm sorry, stop. Back it up, I didn't even
\
see it come in. No, the wrong way, back it up.
PLT-EVA Just a minute.
CDR-EVA Switch towards you, Bill.
PLT-EVA **m in.
CDR-EVA That 's good.
CDR-EVA Boy, this is a big mamou.
SPT What, the canister?
CDR-EVA Yes,
SPT Sure is.
B59 21 58 57 PLT-EVA I just pull that up to get it out of his way,

right?
SPT That 's - Hold on here.
SPT Retract as directed. Remove mags and boom and stow

by wrist tether to screen covering EVA light near
LSU clamp. So you want to bring that thing all
the way back in.
359 21 59 17 CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, retract it.
SPT They don't want it sit - sitting out there in the

sunlight.
PLT-EVA 0kay.
SPT Okay, so you're going to remove the mag and stow

by wrist tether to screen covering the EVA light
near LSU clamps.
CDR-EVA Okay, the - the shutter blades are not open.
SPT Is that right?

1687
SPT They should have been, huh?
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Well, all right. Rusty ought to be down there.

I think I hear him trying to lock up now. Okay - -
359 21 59 5h CC Skylab, we copied that. We've got you through

Madrid for 7 minutes.
CDR-EVA Okay, tell him the shutter blades are not open on
s05h.
359 22 00 03 CC Got that.
SPT Okay, S05h filter malfunction procedure. EV-1 -

EV-2, verbally describe for data analysis, filter
wheel position. And you cannot see it.
359 22 00 13 CDR-EVA No, the - the blades are closed.
SPT You know our frame count Jumped down - Jumped down
one when you took that camera out.
CDR-EVA Yes.
359 22 00 50 CC CDR, Houston.
CDR-EVA Go ahead.
SPT Go ahead, Story.
CC Take your screwdriver there, and press down on

those buttons; they're quarter-inch-diameter
buttons. They're about, as you view it, about ll
and 1 o'clock and the shutter blades ought to open
when you push down on either one or both.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Story, after Jerry removed the camera, we got a

decrement by one on the FRAMES REMAINING for
S05h. We're now reading 5993, if that's of any
use.
359 22 02 00 CC Okay, Ed, and we think that's normal.
SPT Roger.
1688
359 22 02 17 CC And could you verify that you do have the butter-
fly on that new S054 camera?
CDR-EVA Yes, he does.
SPT That's verified; Jer and I both put it on last

night.
359 22 02 19 CC Okay.
SPT Bill, you may want to take a look at it to make

sure that white butterfly is still screwed on
there.
PLT-EVA Where do I look?
SPT Okay, you look at the - the bottom end of the

camera, you know, the one where the connectors
are. You know the end that would be down at the
bottom of your hand if you inserted the camera
into the location out there.
359 22 02 52 CDR-EVA Okay, I got the shutter blade open now.
SPT Okay,
now- -
359 22 02 55 CC Okay, Jer.
SPT Verbally describe for data analysis filter wheel

pos it ion - -
359 22 03 O0 CC And, Ed, we see a CMG reset coming up here.
SPT Okay, thank you, Story.
PLT-EVA And I can verify the butterfly is on.
SPT Okay. Okay, Jer, just describe what you can see.
see.
CDR-EVA Okay, I Just - Let me position myself again here.
359 22 Oh 18 CDR-EVA Okay, there - there appears to be a - I see a

silver - a silver filter down there, and I can see
the lightening hole in the web next to it.
CDR-EVA Well, there's a - there's a silver filter down

there covering.
1689
359 22 04 54 CC Okay, Jer, that's probably confirmation that you're

between a couple of filters, and probably 5 and 6.
CDR-EVA Yes, I can see - On the right-hand side, I can see

about half of the lightening holes and the filter
is not completely in place.
SPT Okay, Jer, the next step, if you're finished

describing.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Is using - is using the mirror - -
359 22 05 25 CC Okay, Jer, we suggest you press on to try to work

that around. We've only got about a minute and
40 seconds to LOS to discuss that with you.
CDR-EVA Do you want to work it manually or do you want to

try an electrical check first?
SPT Electrical check, using - I'm ready to go to

FILTER 1, SELECT.
f_
CDR-EVA _II right. Go ahead.
SPT Okay, you're monitoring?
CDR-EVA Yes.
359 22 05 45 SPT Okay, going on to 1 now.
359 22 05 _7 CC Yes, follow the procedural electrical check first.
SPT Okay. See anything?
CDR-EVA I see nothing moving.
SPT SELECT 1. Does filter - -
359 22 05 58 CC Okay. Now go mauually.
SPT Okay, now hold on; let's Just - don't - don't -

don't - don't stampede, don't let them stampede.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Filter wheel rotate.

1690
CDR-EVA No.
SPT No.
CDR-EVA No, the filter wheel does not rotate, Ed.
SPT Okay. That is either mechanical jam or relay

failure.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Okay, X-RAY SPECT FILTER select to STORAGE.
359 22 06 16 CDR-EVA I'm going now. Okay?
SPT Okay. EV-3, reread general message 54 geometry,

paragraph 5; and GM-54 techniques, paragraph ...
359 22 06 26 CC Skylab, we're a minute from LOS and about 25 min-

utes to Carnarvon at 22:33.
CDR-EVA Okay, Story; it's apparently a definite mechanical

jam; Ed is reading me the geometry and the tech- --
niques and then we'll get going.
359 22 06 42 CC Okay, fine, Jer.
SPT We're just going to take our time on it.
CDR-EVA Okay, Ed.
SPT Okay, let me just do my bookkeeping and make sure

I know exactly where we are in this whole thing.
359 22 07 00 SPT Okay, Jer, we got coming up here, GM-54 geometry,

paragraph 5.
SPT Okay, there is a 3/8-inch web between adjacent

filters -
CDR-EVA Yes, I can see that.
SPT When a filter is centered, this - When a filter

is centered, this web cuts across far - inboard -
corners of the circuit board and metal shield
cutouts. Okay, you want me to reread that, or
are you - -
1691
CDR-EVA No, I understand that and it's not - Since this

is not centered, we can't see that.
SPT Looking down and back at an angle, one can see a

thin segment of each of the addit - adjoining
filters. It is through this segment of the ad-
Joining filter that the screwdriver should be
placed when preparing to rotate the filter wheel.
359 22 08 02 SPT Okay, that's the end of the geometry one. Tech-
niques: Paragraphs 2, B, and 4 coming up.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT In rotating the wheel, the tip of the screwdriver

should be positioned beyond the plane of the filter
wheel and to the left of the web between filters.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT The screwdriver should be inserted until the top

of the tape is even with the surface of the shutter
plate. That is, you puncture the fil - puncture
the filter,you will not be able to feel this
action. Does that make sense?
359 22 08 52 CDR-EVA Yes, sure does.
SPT Now pry the filter wheel to the right by placing

the shaft of the screw - of the screwdriver against
the l0 o'clock position of the ellipse and moving
the handle to the left as far as possible.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT Handle will probably stop against upper magazine

latching peg, which protrudes from the left side
of receptacle housing. Can you read that or do
you want me to -
CDR-EVA Uh-huh.
SPT Do you want me to undergo - reread that one?
CDR-EVA No, I think I understand it.
SPT The screwdriver shaft will deflect when applying

this force, but will not yield. Okay? Go ginger.
1®2
359 22 09 34 SPT On completing this motion, the filter through

which the screwdriver was inserted will be just
beyond the center, i.e., slightly right. Okay?
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Verify with mirror/penlight and place screwdriver

through next filter. Repeat until filter number B
is in place. Then put the filter number B in an
open hole and the others or either alnm_ uum or
beryllium. Filter position number 3 is the only
one which does not reflect the flashlight back at
you - It appears as a black void.
CDR-EVA 0kay.
SPT The other filters reflect back a satin alnm_num

to gold color.
CDR-EVA Yes.
359 22 i0 22 SPT Okay, thatls what you saw.
CDR-EVA Yes. I saw satin alnm_num.
359 22 l0 27 SPT Okay. When moving filter number 3 to position,

recommend slightly less than full throw on the
screwdriver to keep the filter from going past
center. If in STDN contact when filter wheel is
being rotated, TM will indicate filter position
at each pass through center.
CDR-EVA Unfortunately, it 's 25 minutes, though.
SPT Yes. When filter number 3 looks centered in your

mirror, it is good enough with us, whether or not
we have confirming TM. Okay, so we'll go press
back - We read -the two GMs and we'll press back
to the procedures.
CDR-EVA 0kay.
359 22 ll 22 SPT Using screwdriver, pry filter wheel from left to

right to position 3.
CDR-EVA Okay, I've got to reestablish a footing here.

_-_ 1693
SPT Okay. And it also says, if no filter wheel motion,

reconfirm technique with GM-54 geometry and 54
technique.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA Well, it sin - since this number 5 is partially

there -
SPT Rusty is a plastic man.
CDR-EVA I'm supposed to insert this screwdriver up to the

red line.
359 22 12 18 SPT Tape is the word that is used there.
CDR-EVA Yes, the red tape.
CDR-EVA My trouble is maintaining balance and equilibrium

while doing this.
SPT Do you think if Bill came out there and hopped in

the shoes and held you, it would help?
CDR-EVA Well, it might.
PLT-EVA Okay, I 'm on my way.
CDR-EVA Well, I'll be dadg,_mmed.
359 22 12 50 SPT What's that?
359 22 12 56 CDR-EVA The shutter plate closed on me and I stuck the

doggone screwdriver into that.
SPT Is that right?
CDR-EVA No kidding.
SPT Did you go right through it?
CDR-EVA No, I didn't. I bent it.
SPT Oh, boy.
CDR-EVA Oh, man. I think I've done it.

f_
1694 ....
CDR-EVA Well, I'ii try hitting the button and see if then
it will open. I'ii wait until Bill gets here.
PLT-EVA Anything I can do?
CDR-EVA Yes, Bill, can you get your left foot into that
foot plate there?
PLT-EVA Stand by.
CDR-EVA Okay, watch, can you Just hold me like a big sau-
sage under your arm?
PLT-EVA Yes, stand by. Okay.
359 22 14 58 CDR-EVA You can go ahead and put your foot in the other
foot plate if you want to.
SPT Is that the only shutter plate that's in there,

Jer, or is there one in the camera? The camera
has got its own, does it not?
CDR-EVA I think so.
SPT All right. So as long as that thing will open and

stay open, we're still in business.
CDR-EVA Yes, if I can get it open.
SPT All right.
CDR-EVA Excuse me, Bill. I've got to come down.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA I can't see. I need to -
359 22 15 33 PLT-EVA I held you too high, was that it?
359 22 15 35 CDR-EVA Yes, I'm too high. Roll me over more on my right -
right side toward you.
PLT-EVA Like so.
CDR-EVA A little more. All right. Now, just kind of put

me in here. Good. There Just isn't room.
CDR-EVA All right, now shove me in if you can. Any fur-

ther?
1695
PLT-EVA How' s that ?
CDR-EVA That's better.
CDR-EVA This is really murder.
PLT-EVA I bet it is.
359 22 17 l0 SPT Can I help you find anything inside here, Jer?
CDR-EVA Not that I know of, Ed.
PLT-EVA Can I hold the flashlight for you?
CDR-EVA Can - Can you hold it down low there?
PLT-EVA .... hand. Your arm.
CDR-EVA Do you have the knife - the blade of the

screwdriver?
PLT-EVA Just a second. Let me get a good grip.
CDR-EVA I've got to rest my hand.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA We've got to turn that off, or we'll lose it.
CDR-EVA It's all at arm's length, Ed.
SPT Yes, I know. Rusty's got good long arms.
CDR-EVA Man, that's a very, very fragile shutter knife

blade too, because I was really not pushing at
all. Okay, Bill, can you try to shine it in there
again?
359 22 18 21 SPT You going to try to open it up again?
359 22 18 23 CDR-EVA Yes. Right down on the plate there. Want to try
to push that button back there. See if I was
successful. No, it's jammed now. Shoot.
SPT Can you get lots of leverageon it?

1696 __
CDB-EVA No, I can't get any leverage on it.
SPT Can you see the deformation?
CDR-EVA Yes. It's - I bent it down about 20 degrees.
CDR-EVA Bill, put me down some now, please. Can you kind
of roll my right arm in? Okay, hold me right
there.
PLT-EVA Okay.
959 22 19 52 CDR-EVA No. It's ruined for good now, Ed, I'm afraid.
Doggone it.
SPT Is there any way of prying it from either side?
CDR-EVA No. It's bigger than the hole.
SPT Do you think - Well, we won't do it until ground

comes up. Do you think you can put the camera
in, that might give it enough leverage to push
those things down?
CDR-EVA No. See, they're on the other side of the plate.

The shutter blades are on the other side of the
plate, down in the - down in the telescope.
CDR-EVA I had no idea there was any possibility that they

could spring back on me.
359 22 20 47 CDR-EVA Bill, can you push me down and in again? Push me
hard. Good. Hold me right there.
359 22 20 58 PLT-EVA You have it - There's the rotation knob there.
SPT Yes, confirm that those things are all inhibited.
CDR-EVA Oh, golly, this - these shutter blades are like

paper, they're so thin. I might Just chop it out,
I don't know. Let's wait for the ground and ask
them.
SPT Yes, that shutter blade is for what, I wonder.

That's not the - I wonder if that's actually the
shutter which you use to expose the film or wheth-
er the camera has got its own.
CDR-EVA I don' t know.

1697
SPT Yes. See, if you could get that thing out of

there, that - that advances film pretty fast, so
one way you could still take pictures is Just,
essentially, by advancing film.
359 22 22 17 CDR-EVA How much more time before AOS, Ed?
SPT I haven't been keeping track of it but I imagine

it 's about another l0 minutes.
CDR-EVA Say, Ed, you've got a slider there you could set
up.
SPT Yes, if I knew the ascending node, which I don't

have.
CDR-EVA 0h.
SPT Hey, Bill.
PLT-EVA What ?
_ SPT If - If you don't need us down there, why don't -

in another 7 minutes - why don't we at least try
and get some of those S020 exposures done?
CDR-EVA That's a good idea.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT Another 7 minutes is when we're ready to go with

those.
PLT-EVA 0kay.
359 22 22 49 PLT-EVA I tell you, getting out of these - There we go.
CDR-EVA Gosh darn it.
359 22 23 23 CDR-EVA Oh, baloney.
SPT I think I hear a partial lockup here.
359 22 25 _6 SPT Houston, Skylab. I guess not.
CDR-EVA Yes, we're getting the sunrise right over Australia,

so they should be - AOS should be close to sunrise.
359 22 28 58 SPT Should be seeing some sunlight here pretty soon.

1698
CDR-EVA About to come across.
PLT-EVA Hey, Jerry, just to be on the safe side, you might

check your protector visor's down.
CDR-EVA Okay, it's down.
PLT-EVA And, Ed, I want to make another adjustment here

on 8020.
SPT Okay. Go ahead. I would think those folks would

be happy if we did this above h00 K.
PLT-EVA Yes, probably.
SPT Looking the same wavelength the range is going to

get cut out rather severely. Might not hurt too
much on a 1 hour exposure, but a 15 hour -
15 minute, it would.
359 22 30 _3 SPT Boy, that thing sure oscillates, doesn't it?
PLT-EVA It does.
SPT We're locking up now, Jer.
CDH-EVA Yes.
PLT-EVA About dead center now, Ed.
359 22 31 28 SPT Okay. We've got about another minute or so before

hO0 K and I'll give you a mark then.
359 22 31 37 CDR-EVA Houston, Skylab.
CDR-EVA Houston, Skylab.
CDR-EVA Houston, CDR.
359 22 33 00 CC Go ahead, CDR.
CDR-EVA Got bad news, Story. While I was in there maneu-

vering the screwdriver down to start moving the
filter the shutter blades closed on me and they're
deformed now and they won't open.
359 22 33 17 CC Copy, Jer.
SPT Okay, Bill. Any time I can give you a mR_k.

_-_ 1699
PLT-EVA Okay, do you want to go back to 3?
SPT No, we've got - Frame number 3 is all done. We

want to go to fra - frame 4.
PLT-EVA Wait a minute now, I thought we only got 8-1/2 -

7-1/2 minutes.
SPT Yes. They wanted an 8 minute on that one. So

we're okay.
PLT-EVA Okay.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA Tell me when.
SPT Okay. I'ii give you a mark. Stand by -
359 22 33 48 SPT MARK. They want a 15-minute exposure, Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay.
" SPT And then we've got a 5-minute exposure,and then

we've got five -
359 22 33 58 CC Jer, what technique did you use to try to get the
shutters open?
359 22 34 02 CDR-EVA Well, I tried pushing on the buttons again, but

it won't budge. I pushed both buttons and then
I reached in with the tip of the screwdriver and
gently tried to get a hold of the web, and move
it to the side and it wouldn't move. It's Jammed
solid. The shutter blade looks like it's pretty
flimsy material. It flexes quite a bit when I
touch it.
359 22 34 32 CC Copy.
SPT All right. This is just what they need, Just - -
359 22 3h 38 CC And, Jer, you might try putting a fresh mag in

with a - with the butterfly on it, of course, and
see what that does.
CDR-EVA Well, the thing is the - the shutter - the shutter

blade itself is bent. It's deformed, and I don't
l?OO
think it's going to open if it's supposed to stay

in one plane.
SPT Well, why don't we get that one in work anyway.

Bill's up there ready to send it down.
359 22 35 07 CDR-EVA Relative to the plane of the shutter blade, Story,

I would say that the shutter blade is now bent
downward about 15 degrees.
359 22 35 20 CC Okay, Jer. We've got nothing to lose here by

forcing the shutter open. Now we plan to fly that
experiment with the shutter open all the time.
CDR-EVA Okay, I'll give it a bloody go. Which way should

I push it? Should I push it to the right or to
the left?
359 22 36 42 SPT Well, Jer, at least you know if you can Just get
the thing open in any old way, we would still be
in business.
359 22 37 50 MCC CDR, Houston here. Looking at the shutter blade

in the closed position, there should be a rib - _
a raised rib on the shutter blade, and the question
is did that come down the right-hand side of the
ellipse, as you look at it, or the left-hand side?
CDR-EVA It's coming right down the middle of it, Rusty.
359 22 37 56 MCC Okay, then you should be able to see the edge of
the shutter blades. Is that correct?
359 22 38 17 CDR-EVA I can fold the shutter blade back, Rusty. And
that would vignette the aperture. But you would
still have part of it anyway.
359 22 38 27 MCC Are you saying, CDR, that you cannot, under any
circumstance, push it sideways?
CDR-EVA No, it's much, much too fragile. It just folds

up.
359 22 38 39 MCC Okay, we've got a unit down here. We've Just bent
the shutter blade the same way. And - stand by
and we'll bend it - we'll try and bend it a little
further.
,f_ 1701
359 22 38 49 CC And we're 30 seconds to LOS here, and about 6 min-

utes to Honeysuckle, 22:45.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 22 38 56 MCC Okay, CDR. We just bent the shutter blade on this
one down in as far as we could and I'd recommend
you going ahead and do that. It will actually
clear the aperture if you do that. So Just go
ahead and bend it down and up against the sides.
CDR-EVA Okay, will do.
359 22 39 ll SPT Beautiful. Take it slow, Jer. Man, those guys

are on the ball down there.
PLT-EVA Yes, they sound like they're really - real confi-

dent.
CDR-EVA Well, if I had a pair of long-nosed pliers, I

could reach in and get it and pull it out.
SPT Yes, it's a problem. You don't know what you

_- really need before you go out. We ought to have
359 22 39 43 CC Yes. As per your dental training, Jer.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT You know, we really ought to have a EVA tool kit

that you Just have stashed outside for that kind
of stuff.
359 22 39 57 MCC CDR, did you have any opportunity to try and move
the wheel around?
CDR-EVA Yes, I tried to - Well, no, it was on the first

thing, Rusty. I went in - -
MCC ...
CDR-EVA - - I went in with a screwdriver, lost my footing,

had to pull the screwdriver out again, and then
I got my footing and went back in and that's when
I hit the shutter blade. I've got the shutter
blade pushed all the way against the back towards
the center of the canister. And it's rotated
about 30 degreesand l'm lookingat the edge of
1702
it. That's why I said, if I had a pair of long-

nosed pliers I could Just tear it out.
359 22 40 38 MCC Okay, is the shutter blade completely below the

plane of the shutter plate?
359 22 h0 42 CDR-EVA Yes, that's affirmative.
MCC Okay, perhaps you can turn the screwdriver over

and use the handle and shove it - Well, you've
got the tether on that end. That probably won't
work. But if you Just push it to the side as far
as you can, Jet, that's as good as we can hope for
and then I'd suggest Just going ahead with the
rotation of the wheel.
CDR-EVA Okay. I'll keep fiddling with it a little bit

here, and try to get as much of that shutter out
of the field of view as I can.
359 22 hl 09 MCC Okay, if you're inclined, you might want to try

a finger.
CDR-EVA That's a good idea. I think I'll try.
SPT Your fingers go that far, Jer?
CDR-EVA I'm going to find out.
359 22 hl 23 CDR-EVA If you hear an ouch, Bill, you might have to come
out and extract me from the aperture.
PLT-EVA Yes, I'll tape you up good, too. (Laughter)
CDR-EVA Yes. Bring some gray tape.
CDR-EVA Well, no - no way of getting a right hand in there.

Now, if I had Rusty Schweickart's arm, I could
reach that.
PLT-EVA That guy is really ... - -
359 22 41 55 MCC CDB, you may be able to rotate the canister to a

more favorable location and try it.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 22 h3 13 SPT Okay, it's only around 5 minutes to terminate here.
i
._ 1703
CDR-EVA Okay, Rusty, I think I got it pretty well out of

the way now.
SPT I think you're over the hill.
CDR-EVA Oh, boy. And I got it - The aperture's pretty

well open too.
SPT Well, that's good. Okay, why don't you pick up

where you were before and try - I'll tell you
what, they're coming up in another 6 minutes or
less. Why don't you wait until they can, by TM,
see the thing rotate.
CDR-EVA Okay. How much more time has Bill got there?
359 22 43 55 SPT He's got another 4 minutes to this exposure. Then

there's a series of short ones. If you need him,
go ahead.
PLT-EVA Now I - I just noticed that all these blue hand-

rails that have been exposed to the Sun turn green.
- SPT Yes, I've noticedthat.
PLT-EVA Olive green.
PLT-EVA Is there any thrashing around down there? I can

see this S020 canister vibrate.
SPT Hey, Bill, how many frames are there on that total
package out there for S020?
PLT-EVA 10.
SPT Pardon?
PLT-EVA 10.
SPT i0, huh? Okay.
PLT-EVA No, we're in this - We just only need our 15-minute

Jobber-do, right?
SPT That's right. And then we got a 5-minute Jobber-do,

and then the remainder of them are to be short
ones, between l and 5 minutes. And they need at
least five of them and whatever we can give them
in terms of time.
170_
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 22 45 h0 CDR-EVA Okay, what I've done now so far is I've centered
that filter.
SPT So they're actually looking through a filter?
CDR-EVA Yes, but it's got a hole in it.
SPT Okay. Well, they can come up and figure out which
one it is then.
359 22 45 55 CC Yes, we're showing filter 5 down here now. Keep

on going until you get to 3.
359 22 46 01 CDR-EVA Okay, Story, 5 is now centered. I wonder if there

might be anything gained by trying to move it to
3 electrically.
MCC CDR, if you move it in that direction you'd go

back to the jam; that is, it'll go from the present
position towards 6 again. We prefer manually
slewing it on around to 3.
CDR-EVA Okay. Well, listen, I've got 5 centered up now;

it's got a hole in it. Let's see if I can get -
get it back to number 4.
359 22 46 48 CC Ed, Houston.
SPT Go ahead, Story.
359 22 46 54 CC Ed, our momentum is building up in X again. We'll

need a nominal H-CAGE here, and you'll probably
get an excursion out to h0 to 45 degrees.
SPT Okay, would you like it right now?
359 22 47 05 CC Yes, sir.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA Hey, want about - -
SPT You're going to have to terminate that one. We'll

have to give them - -
1705
359 22 47 i0 CC Skylab, we're i0 seconds to LOS. See you over

Texas in about 30 minutes at 23:15. Be dumping
the data/voice there.
CDR-EVA Okay. Do you see your new filter position?
SPT Okay, Bill, are you - -
CC ...
PLT-EVA I'm ready to go to storage.
359 22 47 25 MCC Okay, go ahead; filter 5, CDR.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA You have to - -
359 22 47 30 MCC You have to go way back into that left-hand rear
corner angling the screwdriver in order to get it
through position 4.
PLT-EVA That's storage, Ed. Are we maneuvering now?
359 22 47 h3 SPT Yes, we are.
SPT Oh, not too bad. Okay, that was 1 minute and
20 seconds showing. We got a high rate.
PLT-EVA I could feel the TACS fire.
SPT You shouldn't have a TACS firing.
PLT-EVA I felt something in my feet.
359 22 48 20 PLT-EVA Can I help you down there, Jer?
CDR-EVA Yes, if you're all through.
PLT-EVA Well, there's nothing I can do until we get back

on -
CDR-EVA Well, actually no, there isn't, Bill. I figured

out how to reach it now and -
359 22 48 35 PLT-EVA Okay, I think I'll take a short walk anyway.
CDR-EVA Yes, go ahead. Do a little rubbernecking and enjoy

yourself.
1706 _
359 22 48 52 CDR-EVA Sure are a lot of nice noises going on up there.
SPT Yes.
PLT-EVA I don't know what Ed's doing.
SPT Yes, don't feel alone.
359 22 49 33 SPT Wow the TACS is firing, TACS number 6.
SPT TACS i.
PLT-EVA Oh, yes.
SPT Can you see it?
PLT-EVA Yes.
359 22 49 44 SPT It's bringing our rates down.
359 22 49 52 SPT TACS n,,m_er 3.
359 22 50 03 SPT Okay, rates are down. CMGs are probably going
to release here. 25 degrees off in X, mibs.
2.7 is Y and 3 point - 2.1 in Z.
359 22 51 01 PLT-EVA Boy, that's really something.
SPT What's that, Bill?
PLT-EVA Out here on the Sun end. Thought I'd come out
here and investigate the particulate contamination.
SPT Put your feet in the foot restraints and then lean
back.
PLT-EVA Here.
SPT How's that for an experience?
359 22 51 41 PLT-EVA The whole world. Man, what a panorama!
PLT-EVA Mau, the whole ... of this thing ... What you
know?
359 22 52 13 CDR-EVA Hey, the canister just did a Jig.
SPT Did it really?

1707
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT It shouldn't; we got everything off in here. I

have not been keeping an eye on the roll.
CDR-EVA No, it wasn't in roll. It was in pitch or yaw.

It was a lateral.
359 22 52 31 SPT There was no reason for it to do it. We got

MANUAL POINTING off in here, and we're in SI.
Those things should be locked. Did it do it all
on its own or were you touching it?
CDR-EVA No, I wasn't touching it.
SPT Oh, boy. I hope one of those locks is not getting

squirrely again. Possibility of - of that lock
either coming undone or - or cinching it again.
359 22 57 46 CDR-EVA Hello, Houston.
PLT-EVA Ah so.
359 23 02 56 CDR-EVA Hello, Houston.
SC (Tone)
SPT Now what?
CDR-EVA Hey, Ed?
SPT Yes.
359 23 03 08 CDR-EVA Will you ask for an ascending mode next time when
we talk to them?
SPT Yes.
CDR-EVA And check the slider so we'll know when to expect

to talk to them.
SPT All right, Jerry. I've got my hands full here.

M_ gosh!
359 23 05 54 CDR-EVA What's up there, Bill?
359 23 05 56 PLT-EVA Wow, I was Just sitting here looking over the side
waiting for landfall. Looks like we've started
1708
below Australia and are going all the way up -

We ought to hit the west coast of the United States
or Mexico this time I should think.
CDR-EVA Yes, last time we went up over the very northern

part of South America I think. Maybe it was right
around the Isthmus of Panama. We ought to have
a good long stateside pass here. I think I got
us on filter 4 now, and I just want to verify it
before I go fiddling with any more.
PLT-EVA Yes.
359 23 07 03 CDR-EVA It's a lot of water out here.
CDR-EVA How's it going, Big Ed?
359 23 07 24 SPT Well - Hold on, Jer. I tell you, we just blew a
bunch of TACS on that CMG RESET. We went into one
reset, we got out to an angle of around 30 degrees.
They said use 50 as a cutoff when all of a sudden
we went into another CMG reset and we really got
wheeling. By the time we got up to 50 degrees
we had a real high rate and the TACS then came in --
and tried to correct it and start bringing us back.
And, boy, we blew a bunch.
CDR-EVA How much have we got? What percentage is left?
SPT Just - just a minute - just a minute, Jerry. Let

me figure out a few things here. Something's still
squirrely.
SPT Something is still squirrely.
359 23 08 32 SPT We're down on the meter to around 29 percent.
359 23 09 19 SPT Hey, Bill, maybe you ought to come back in. l'm
not sure whether your action out there - having
two guys out there is giving us more H in X than
we need.
PLT-EVA 0kay.
359 23 09 53 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm back in the FAS, Ed.
SPT Okay.
___ 1709
SPT Why don't you go ahead and talk to them, Jer, but
then I got a few words - few items for him also
here.
CDR-EVA Okay. All I need to talk to them about is to find

out what filter they're looking at right now, and
I hope it's 4. And also to see to move us on to
3, with them watching. But they can be talking
to you about your problems at the same time.
SPT Okay.
359 23 ll 05 CDR-EVA And I think I see landfall coming up - so we ought

to be getting Goldstone.
359 23 13 19 PLT-EVA Looks like we're coming back in, Ed.
SPT What, to SlY
PLT-EVA Yes.
SPT Yes, we are.
i- 359 23 13 36 CDR-EVA Oh my gosh! It's a long time between station

passes.
359 23 lh 14 CDR-EVA Boy, I'm sorely tempted to go ahead and try to go

to the next filter position. But I'm also afraid
to.
SPT I think you better wait, Jer. You're going to

have to wait for confirmation anyway, so we might
as well watch and learn as much as we possibly
can about it.
CDR-EVA Yes.
359 23 15 16 PLT-EVA I see some ground coming up.
CDR-EVA You recognize it, Billy
PLT-EVA I'm back in the FAS, Jer. I can't see anything.
CDR-EVA Oh.
SPT We're Just flat saturated in Y.
359 23 15 40 CC Skylab, A0S stateside for 17 minutes.

1710
CDR-EVA Hello, Story. What filter do you see?
CC Well - -
CDR-EVA The filter I see is very, very shiny, silver

shiny. And I'm hoping that's filter number 4.
359 23 15 58 CC It should be, and we show you between filters

now.
CDR-EVA Okay. And I'm going to try to get to 3 now.

(Tone) And Ed's got problems; you better talk to
him.
SPT Gosh darn it, anyway.
359 23 16 14 SPT Okay, Story, we did your nominal H-CAGE. We got

out to around 30 degrees waiting for the TACS to
kill off the rates. It did. Waiting for the CMG
to take over.
359 23 16 26 SPT Stand by.
359 23 16 37 SPT Waiting for the CMGs to take over, and they start-
ed to, then we got a second - or an automatic nom-
inal H-CAGE. We got out to 40 some odd degrees
and with some fairly high rates, and at about that
time I took it over. The TACS had tried to fire
and start bringing us back to correct the large
attitude error. I put in - well, first of all, I
cut off the TACS which were firing. They were
Just really belching out ; I think we might have
had some - some ... out there. Then I went to
STANDBY, loaded in 2h minutes, and started to
maneuver back. And we had to fire some TACS, of
course, to get going.
359 23 17 24 SPT We got - got close to being back fairly quickly

because the TACS had already turned us around
and maneuvered - got a high rate coming back.
At around 5 minutes - I loaded a maneuver time of
around 5 minutes when we were h degrees out and
Just creeping back. Was running - wanted to
build up any - as much gravity gradient as pos-
sible - to keep the gravity gradient down as much
as possible. So we're sitting here saturated
now in Y. Would you like to try one more nominal
H-CAGE ?
1711
359 23 17 57 CC Copy, Ed, and we're going to take a look at it for

a while.
SPT Okay, I also show an inner gimbal on MG number 3,

pegged full scale low. I've not seen that meter
problem before and l'm not sure whether it's an
anomaly with the meter or a real one.
359 23 18 14 CC Okay, Ed. We're showing filter 3 down here, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay. I see a black hole down there. Are you

happy with that?
CC Yes, sir.
CDR-EVA l'm ecstatic. Whee!
359 23 18 27 CDR-EVA And I think I got most all that shutter blade out
of the way, so there won't be too much vignetting
by that anyway.
CC Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay, Wilhelm, let's have the film.
359 23 18 h0 PLT-EVA In work.
CDR-EVA Hot dog !
CDR-EVA Let's get everybody in close to the c.g. so Ed

won't be having so many problems. (Laughter)
359 23 18 53 CC Not a bad idea.
PLT-EVA Make way.
SPT Okay, Jer, I'll try to pick up on your checklist

here.
CDB-EVA Okay. Bill's sending down the f_]m now.
CDR-EVA We over the U.S., Story?
CC Go ahead.
CDR-EVA Are we over the U.S.?
PLT-EVA Say when, Jer.

1712
CC Yes, sir. Over Mexico.
CDR-EVA Good show. That 's fine, Bill.
CDR-EVA Take it back, Bill.
359 23 19 49 PLT-EVA Okay, retract.
CDR-EVA Okay, Ed, before I do anything else, am I -

Before I put the film in, am I supposed to do
anything else?
SPT Yes. That's why I'm just trying to go through

this procedure here - -
CDR-EVA All right, I'll just freeze - -
SPT - - and find out.
CDR-EVA - - I'll freeze until you catch up.
359 23 20 33 CC Ed, we show you close to SI now and we'd like

another nominal H-CAGE.
PLT-_-"_A
(Laughter)
CDR-EVA (Laughter) Rots of ruck [sic], Ed.
SPT 0kay, Story, coming up now.
CDB-EVA Shall I hold on tight?
359 23 20 50 CC And keep the CMGs INHIBITED, Ed.
CDR-EVA You hear that, Ed?
SPT Would you clarify that, Story? We're in - CAGED

right now. By INHIBITed you want me to go into
the DAS?
359 23 21 20 CDR-EVA I think you're having a little dropout problem.
SPT All right now, the problem is, when you - Jerry,
I'm trying to figure out just where we go from
here. The flow here is -
359 23 21 35 CDR-EVA We now have filter 3 centered up, Bill - or, Ed.
1713
SPT Okay, I believe I see select STORAGE, which I do

have selected.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT That's the way it's supposed to be, yes.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 21 49 CC And for Ed, we like what we're - we're seeing now,
Ed.
SPT I'm glad. Okay, Story, your call on keep the

CMGs INHIBIT I did not understand. You want me
to go into the DAS and inhibit CMG control?
CC Stand by i.
359 23 22 08 SPT And 81so in going through the malf here for 5h,
I now have a setting of filter in STORAGE. Is
that, I believe, the final configuration?
CC That's affirm, Ed.
359 23 22 21 SPT Okay, then is Jer cleared to put the camera back
in?
CC That 's affirm.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 22 33 SPT Okay, we got TACS i, 3, and 5 firing at 1-second

intervals here.
359 23 22 42 CC Copy.
CDR-EVA Okay, the green flag says latched, Stor - or

white flag button is up, and the alignment stripes
are lined up. The film is in.
359 23 22 57 SPT Story, would you like us to cycle through a 54

checkout which involves a SINGLE exposure 16 -
picture rate of SINGLE, and exposire rate of 16
and watch it decrement to 6?
359 23 23 19 SPT Okay. Stand back, Jer.

1714
CDR-EVA Okay, I'm back. Wait Just a minute. Let me close

thedoors for- -
SPT Well, it's happening now.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 23 29 CDR-EVA The door is closed.
SPT We started out at 92. Okay, we're on the last

long 16-second exsposure.
CC Ed, continue on with the nominal H-CAGE. After

it settles down, we'll give you a GO for CMG
control.
359 23 24 h3 SPT See the TACS firing out there?

PLT-EVA No.
SPT Boy, I sure can. Number 4 is firing out the -

out on the dark side.
CDR-EVA No, I can't see up that way. I ought to be able

to see some sparklies, though.
359 23 25 16 SPT I'm glad we're not having problems with the strap-
down in addition.
359 23 26 43 CDR-EVA How many more exposures have you got to do, Bill?
SPT Well - -
PLT-EVA Several, I don't know how many.
359 23 26 51 CC Jer, Houston.
CDR-EVA Go ahead.
CC After you get the S054 installed, we've got two

other EVAs to collect S020 data so we don't want
you to spend any time on that. Just complete the
EVA per the checklist and wrap up S020.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 27 13 SPT Okay, we got that thing installed now?
CDR-EVA The 54?

1715
SPT Yes.
CDR-EVA Well, I hope so. You tested it, didn't you?
SPT Yes, I mean you're all set. You're complete with

your operations out there?
CDR-EVA Yes; as best I can tell, I'm complete.
SPT Okay. Story, the S054 is installed and from the

inside here we've checked that out and it looks
good.
CC And, it looks good down here.
359 23 27 36 SPT Okay, what do you want to do with our momentum

configuration? We're still in CAGE and we got
a reasonable rate going in X at 0.03.
CC Stand by l, Ed.
359 23 27 58 CC Ed, you can go back to CMG control at this time.
SPT 0kay.
PLT-EVA Okay, Jer, I'll get pictures of you coming back.

CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 29 26 PLT-EVA In fact, I think I'll Just take a good long se-
quence of you right here.
CDR-EVA Okay, you ready to run?
PLT-EVA Yes, Just a second. If I -
CDR-EVA Okay. As soon as the Sun comes up, let's get one
of you.
PLT-EVA There it is. Man, it's hard to push that button.

I can't - can't believe how-
CDR-EVA You ready?
359 23 30 25 PLT-EVA Ready.
CDR-EVA Okay, here I come.
PLT-EVA Can you see the green light flashing first?

1716
CDR-EVA No, I don't. I think it's on the side of the

camera away -- q
359 23 30 39 PLT-EVA Now I got it.
CDR-EVA Now I see it.
PLT-EVA Come on.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 31 00 SPT Okay, guys, let's start climbing back in.
CDR-EVA Okay. We got the two trees to pass back in.
SPT Jer, why don't you climb in first?
359 23 31 27 CC Skylab, 1 minute to LOS and 5 minutes to Madrid.
CDR-EVA Roger.
359 23 31 45 CDR-EVA Okay. Hand me the camera, Bill.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Can hook that to my right - right tether ring

right there. Just put it through the metal
D-ring.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 32 52 SPT Okay, since we're a little out of configuration

here, we're Just going to have to start passing
things in.
CDR-EVA Yes. We'll - we'll start; Just a second.
SPT Okay. We got an S020; we got T025 in, and I

guess you also have got S201 in, do you not?
CDR-EVA Yes, 201 is in.
PLT-EVA 201 is in. I'm getting ready to get S020 now.
359 23 33 15 SPT Okay, now you got to also verify 8228 is still
perpendicular to the clipboard.
CDR-EVA Okay, Just stand by.

iTi7
p PLT-EVAYes- -
CDR-EVA We're still thrashing around here trying to get

oriented.
PLT-EVA Okay, it's still perpendicular to the clipboard.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA Be right with you.
CDR-EVA Okay, is the green light flashing?
359 23 34 08 PLT-EVA No, that's the hardest part is reaching the

button.
CDR-EVA Is it now?
PLT-EVA No. You have to reach way under it.
PLT-EVA There you go. You almost had it, Jer. Now you
got it.
359 23 34 43 CDR-EVA Make -
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA S020 is coming off, Ed.
SPT Okay.
CDR-EVA Man, what a snakepit of umbilicals.
CDR-EVA Okay, now I'm going to have to - first of all,

stow this camera.
CDR-EVA Okay. Now let me disconnect myself from it. All

right. Now, I'll use one of _%y tool tethers to
get on - to get attached to T020 or S020. A_/q!
CDR-EVA Trying to get that without losing the tools.
PLT-EVA Yes, that's - that's a sharp thing, too, that

screwdriver.
359 23 37 00 CDR-EVA It is. I worried a little bit about poking _self

with it. Now Just a minute while I disconnect
this tether frcm_ _ now and attach it somewhere
in the spacecraft.
1718
PLT-EVA Yes, there is no sense in getting in any hurry.

I meanwe - not really... I

Madrid for 8 minutes.
CDR-EVA Roger, Story. We're picking things up and coming

in now. We got the camera in; we're working on
S020 and we have T - S201 to go, plus a couple
of trees.
SPT Story, just to let you know where we stand on

S020, we got a 60-minute exposure, a 30 minute,
a 13 and 40 rather than a 15 because of that
nominal H-CAGE we had to put in and a 7-1/2 minute
rather than the 8 minute. So we don't have their
priority 5 and 6 items done, but we got the first
four •
359 23 3_ 05 CC Okay, copy, Ed. And, Jer, prior to repressing

the airlock, we'd like you to remove your PCU
deflectors and examine the PCUs for any ice
formation.
CDR-EVA Will do.
CC And also verify the composite connector is hard-

mated to the PCU.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 38 34 CDR-EVA A]] right, Bill, I'm ready for your next little
present.
PLT-EVA Okay, let's see. I'll Just give you the VS tree
here.
CDR-EVA Okay, I got it.
SPT Okay, let's pick up on that S020. Yes, let's

make sure that you've closed the boresighter and
you placed the VACUUM SHUTTER VALVE to CLOSE.
CDR-EVA Okay, I haven't done that, but I will.
SPT Okay. We don't want to repress with that -

without doing that.
1719
359 23 39 21 CDR-EVA All right. That's a good point. Just a second

r now.
CDR-EVA All right, I've got the VS tree in and latched.

Let me go here and do what I can with S020.
Okay, hit me with the words again, Ed.
SPT Okay, let's see, place the VACUUM VALVE/SHIYrTER

CONTROL to CLOSED.
CDR-EVA Okay, that's in work.
SPT Close the boresighter - or cover the boresighter.
CDR-EVA Okay.
359 23 39 55 CDR-EVA VACUUM VENT VALVE is CLOSED. Now I'll work on the
boresighter. Oh, that little bitty knob again.
359 23 41 ii CDR-EVA I'm afraid the boresighter is going to have to

stay open.
SPT That's all right. Just be careful with it.
CDR-EVA Yes.
359 23 41 16 CDR-EVA That little knob; I just can't get a hold of it

to left it up out of the notch and close the bore-
sighter. Okay, what's next, Ed?
SPT Okay, have you got the - both trees in?
CDR-EVA No, Just the VS so far.
SPT Okay, let's get the VC.
359 23 41 30 CDR-EVA Okay. In work.
359 23 42 21 CDR-EVA Okay, the VA - C tree is in place and locked.
SPT Okay, you got the VS and the VC. Correct?
CDR-EVA Right.
SPT $201?
CDR-EVA 201's in.
SPT $20 [sic]?

Wr-.
1720
359 23 42 35 CDR-EVA 20 is in; yes.
SPT And - ... work with.
PLT-EVA 230 or whatever it was. The -
CDR-EVA 201.
PLT-EVA That 's in. That 's perpendicular.
SPT Well, yes. 228 is perpendicular.
CDR-EVA Yes, T025 is in and lashed down.
SPT Okay, now why don't you take one last look out
in the VS and make sure that there's no tethers
or anything else hanging out there.
CDR-EVA Yes, tethers we're short of.
359 23 43 01 SPT Yes, there was one left out there in the previous
EVA. We don't want to do that again.
PLT-EVA FAS area you're talking about, or is it the - -
SPT The FAS, yes.
CDR-EVA Where was it, Ed?
SPT Well, the previous EVA, there was one hooked up

out there to the F-15, I think.
PLT-EVA Yes, you know that's a good point there because

here it is. Here's Don Lind's tether.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT Okay and check around there. Make sure there's

nothing else out there.
PLT-EVA Okay.
359 23 43 33 SPT Okay, tell me when that's complete.
CDR-EVA All right, we sure will. Lightning flashes.
PLT-EVA Yes.
1721
359 23 43 53 PLT-EVA Oh, no, no, no; that's for the clothesline. Get
' thatout.
PLT-EVA You know it looks pretty clean out here.
SPT Okay, verify - or check the hatch seal for obstruc-

tions and verify hatch dogs are retracted.
PLT-EVA I have to get this one boom - Oops! It's in the

hatch. Before we get back in, I think we have a
little umbilical or does that come up next? Lit-
tle umbilical here.
CDR-EVA Yes, let's get some of this umbilical out of the

way. We got a whole bundle of it out here.
SPT Okay, stuff it all into the aft airlock.
CDR/PLT Okay.
EVA
PLT-EVA Now, let's see, this is mine here.
_ CDR-EVAOkay.
PLT-EVA Take yours. Let me unhook it.
359 2B 44 41 CC Skylab, we're a minute to LOS. 15 minutes to

Tananarive at 23: 59.
SPT Okay.
PLT-EVA Okay, I'm going to hold mine down here. You

can start shoving yours back there in the aft
airlock.
CDR-EVA Right.
359 23 45 06 CDR-EVA Slow and easy. Thataway.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, let's get yours in now.
PLT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Slow and easy.
PLT-EVA Let me get down out of the way.

1722
CDR-EVA Got a great big metabolic load here just trying

to stowumbilicals.
CDR-EVA That's right, Bill. Do a 180 to the right.

Very good.
359 23 45 53 PLT-EVA Okay, I'm looking at all the dogs .... Okay,
I'll check the seal. Looks good. There's one
little particle up there I'm going to wipe off.
0kay, that' s good. Looks good.
CDR-EVA Okay, take one last look at 228. Make sure we

haven't kicked it or bumped it with an umbilical.
PLT-EVA Stand by. Okay, it's still perpendicular.
CDR-EVA Very good. Okay.
SPT Okay, you all set?
PLT-EVA Yes.
359 23 46 44 CDR-EVA He's starting to come in now.
SPT Okay, we're ready for EVA hatch closure.
PLT-EVA I want my head down here, don't I? Okay, I'll

go in feet first. Facing the other -
SPT Okay, and on 319, on the way in, disengage the

hold-open rod.
359 23 47 09 CDR-EVA That's in work.
PLT-EVA Turn myself around here. Can I do - I need to

do a half roll that's inverted to the left or
right ?
CDR-EVA I think to your left would be best.
PLT-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA All right, Edward.
359 23 47 44 CDR-EVA He's in.
SPT Okay. Have you got the dis - disengaged the hold-
open rod?
1723
CDR-EVA Yes. That's done.

I
SPT Close hatch until retainer engaged.
SPT Place hold-open rod in the spring clip and strap.
SPT Hatch handle, CLOSED.
PLT-EVA Stand by.
SPT Hatch handle lock to engage, red not visible.
CDR-EVA Okay, the hatch is - -
PTL-EVA Stand by.
CDR-EVA - - not closed yet, huh?
PLT-EVA Well, I got it closed. I just don't have this

lockpin in position.Just - -
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT-EVA - - want to make sure I get that one.
359 23 48 31 PLT-EVA Okay, red not visible.
359 23 48 33 SPT Okay, that's at 23:48. That was a fairly lengthy

one. Airlock repress; okay, EV-1, on 318, LOCK
COMPRESS - LOCK COMPRESS DEPRESS VALVE, CLOSEd.
; LOCK COMPARTMENT DEPRESS VALVE CLOSEd.
359 23 48 54 PLT It's closed. Now.
SPT Okay, EV-1, on 316, monitor PRESS in the LOCK

for 2 minutes after closing LOCK COMPARTMENT
DEPRESS VALVE to verify pressure integrity.
PLT Okay.
SPT And I'll know roughly when you start in here so

I'll give you a hack.
CDR Bring us up slow, Ed.

172_
359 23 49 08 SPT Well, what we're doing here is Just waiting

2 minutes here, Jer.
CDR Yes, okay. But when you do, bring us up slow.

SP
SPT Okay.
PLT When is it we're supposed to take these deflectors

off?
CDR Right now. Before we pressurize.
SPT You want to monitor for ice, is that it?
359 23 49 23 CDR Yes, we're supposed to look at them for ice.

Bill, if you'll flip around here, I'll take yours
off and you take mine off.
PLT Now, I'll wait until you get through.
359 23 49 57 PLT Yes, there is a little under yours, Jer.
CDR Is there?
PLT I believe some of the bread crumbs came out.

There is is.
CDR How does mY disconnect look?
PLT See it? Disconnect, lock, pins, everything.
CDR Okay.
PLT But there's ice there. Now it's melted. Okay.
359 23 50 26 SPT Did both of you have it?
PLT I couldn't see mine.
CDR No, you don't have any ice around yours.
SPT Only Jer, huh?
CDR Yes.
SPT Okay. Let's go here. What's the pressure - in

that you can read in there look like?
359 23 50 44 CDR Looks like about a half a plome - pound.

1725
F
PLT That 's what I 'd call it.
SPT After 2 minutes on 316, PRESS LOCK indicating about

0.2. Approximately 0.2.
359 23 50 59 CDR Yes, we got a - we got 0.5. That's just out-

gassing from our suits, isn't it ?
PLT Yes.
PLT Yes.
SPT Yes. Okay. On 311, PRESSURE EQUALIZATION VALVE,

OPEN, and CLOSE after 30 seconds.
359 23 51 13 PLT 311, I think that's - -
CDR That 's mine. Right here.

359 23 52 38 SPT Yes, now wait a minute. Okay, they've assumed

we've equalized pressure. Well, I haven't.
CDR Yes.

SPT Okay, let me just make sure everything's copacetic

here with the checklist.
PLT Don't worry. You won't be able to open that hatch

until pressure equalizes anyway.
SPT We did not get a CLUSTER PRESSURE LOW light. Let's

see, what are we down to?

the tree - or move the tree, aren't we?
SPT Yes. Just stand by. I'll read the checklist.

Let me open the - Let me open the check - open

SPT That handle is a little bit warm. All right, let
me tie this thing down here, and I'll be right
with you.
CDR Okay. No hurry.
359 23 55 46 PLT I thought there was a receptacle in there for

that thing.
SPT There is down here on the - on the floor, but it

takes a little bit of doing to get it screwed
down in there.
PLT I'm sorry, I wasn't going to ask you to do that,

thought there was a plate *** the way.

SPT Okay, let me pick up here. Okay, now, OWS hatch

opening. EV-2, R_LEASE HANDLE to UNLOCK.
CDR Okay. Excuse me, 201, you're in my way. Okay,

it 's UNLOCKed.
SPT RE T.F&SE HANDLE or HATCH HANDLE to EQUALIZE PRESS.
CDR Okay, it' s there.
SPT Okay. See if we can watch the pressures equalize.

We got good - a good rate of descent on our verti-
cal velocity here. I think everything's going to
stable out on - stabilize out a little above 5.
CDR Yes, that workshop, that's a lot of volume down

there.
359 23 57 15 SPT Okay, and you can take your RE LVASE HANDLE to
UNLOCK.

SPT When OWS PRESSURE - when OWS equalize PRESSURE

LOCK, push hatch open to engage hatch retainer.
Move to suit donning station.
CDR Okay. I think I can still hear it hissing in.
PLT Yes, it's still about 5 - 5.4 in the OWS.
359 23 58 51 SPT This shows you might have close to a tenth or so;
that's within meter accuracy. Why don't you give
it a try?
CDR No. Ain't ready yet.
SPT Okay, when you get her opened, we're going to

move - move both or EV-2 is going to move to the
suit donning station and verify - well, we don't
have any high intensity lights to worry about.
And we got the VC tree AM forward hatch opening.
CDR There we go.
359 23 59 34 SPT Okay.
CDR Be it ever so humble. There's no place like home.
SPT Okay, you monitor his - or take care his umbilicals

Tananarive 4 minutes.

trouble finding that fruitcake, in A-2 locker be-
hind the film vault, it's wrapped in foil and also
stored in clear plastic. Maybe that'll help you
find it.

problem. The subject is urine sample bags. I
got the uneasy feeling that we don't have enough
urine sample bags to mske it through the rest of
the mission. So I ran an inventory and in - in
dome locker 426 I have 50 sample bags left, and
in the - in the waste management compartment in
locker 823 I have a - 37. That's a total of the
87 bags left. Divided by 3, that doesn't come
out to enough for the rest of the days of the
mission. It comes out more like 29 days. I
looked - looked in our friendly stowage book,
which is not the best in the world, I'm afraid,
and I find under urine sample bags, the locations.
When we started the mission there was 150 of them
in D-426. There were 48 of them in H-823 and there
are i14 in E-699 Charlie. And I think E-_9 Charlie
is - 699 Charlie is the trash airloek. It appears
to me that we're nearly 20 days short in urine
sample bags and I'm wondering what we should do
about it.

those of Alfa Bravo ... I have found them to be
in perfectly good functioning condition; no con-
tamination. They're not bent in terms of the ...
the others. The ... connection in the camera
body are particularly good. I have replaced the
seal and I still do get the slight buzzing so
apparently it's not the condition of the seal but
maybe the tolerance and how the seal goes on to
the - the shaft. I should say the height of the
seal above the - case where the shaft hooks into
the magazine or it might even be when you fill
the magazine ... It's hard to narrow down ...
any closer than to Just say that it's coming
from the general area of that connection. I'll
try and keep an eye on it and troubleshoot it a
little bit more. When I put the seal on, I could
put it on at the very top and let the magazine
1734
push it down and it would - the camera body push

it down when the magazine was inserted. I did
that twice. Didn't seem effective.

360 18 12 59 CDR This is the CDR at 18:13 Zulu. Debriefing the

first ATM run of the day which started at 17:ll
Zulu. Nuz update on time and our - our nuZ is

minus 1.8. Started the ATM runs off at 17:13 with
a J0P 6, step 2, no particular problem_ everything
went smoothly on that. Then got into the J0P 25A
and I'd like to express my appreciation to you
guys down there for your show of confidence in us
in that you let me do a maxi-raster and figure out
my own numbers this time. No problems with 25A.
It went very nicely. It's a pretty simple thing
to do. Then I passed you down some VTR. I think
the only thing of real note, really, is the WHITE
LIGHT CORONAGRAPH picture. We have a rather
strong single mirror ray at about 075 or 070 on
the solar - in the corona. And then around at
about ll0, that's with the wide - rather wide-
based, looks like multiple streamers.
360 18 14 37 CDR And of course over at 270 there's a very wide one,
a very wide-based streamer. But I think the one
of interest is the one at about 070 or 065, there-
"abouts. That is a single narrow streamer, and
it's - it's reasonable prominent too.
360 18 l_ 57 CDR And looks like that must be coming off of either
active region 0h or active region 00. Looking at
the XUVMON, there's nothing - nothing too new
there. Where the active region are - regions are,
we have a lot of bright spots. And a couple of
them, particularly 00 and 05, I believe it is,
can be seen in ambient light, you don't need inte-
gration. And I see also an integration, that's
1735
coming around the east limb, we have another

bright area beginning to show up on the XUV MON.
So maybe we've got some reinforcements coming
there. That's just about it. There really wasn't
anything too spectacular that went on. We finally
got - got everything through without any bungles,
I believe.

55, OFFSETwent with no problem. I had to make
some very minor changes in the 55 horizontal ret-
icle; had to step it down just very slightly, about
an arc second at the most. And the four-limb co-
alignment results follows. Day 360, time 20:25;
and at the upper limb: H-ALPHA l, plus lO00; 82B,
plus 1000; 55, plus lOO1. Lower limb: 82B, minus
950; 55, minus 954. Left limb: H-ALPHA l, minus
894; 82_B, minus 895; 55, minus 899. Right limb:
82B, plus 1080; 55, plus 1080; 55 MIRROR POSITION,
0933. Additional information: The ROLL for this
was minus 5386.
360 21 45 49 SPT At the upper limb, my LEFT/RIGHT, the best I could

judge, which would put - put us on center of the
upper limb, was plus 77. At the lower limb, the
LEFT/RIGHT was plus ll6. The UP/DOWN at the left
limb, which would put the slits exactly tangent
to the limb at the center, was plus 3. And, also,
the LIMB OFFSET, while I was doing that, initially
started out at zero. And then I had some instabil-
ity in the readout, and it went from between zero
and the m_ximnm of 13. Not a very rapid change,
but maybe 1 - every 1 to 2 or 3 seconds. But it
would Jump from 2 to 5 to zero to 13, kind of
1736
randomly in that manner. That was, again, 2 or

3 seconds or so between each - in each jump. And
the UP/DOWN for the right limb was plus 35. And
on the left - and on the right limb, the LIMB
OFFSET remained stable at zero.
360 21 47 13 SPT I have a feeling that our fine Sun sensor is not
only moving relative to the other experiments, but
that it has rotated as well. When I slew, say
start at the upper limb and slew straight down,
I do not get to the center of the lower limb, as
evidenced by the numbers I've Just given you. So
I suspect that the - there must be some misalignmgnt
in rotation around the fine Sun sensor. At the
very conclusion of the pass, I looked at the
active region 05. And I could see some material,
perhaps a suggestion of loops at the very base of
05, about 20 arc seconds off the limb and having
a distance of - extending along a distance of
maybe 1 arc minute. I've described it a little
on air-to-ground, and I'm going to look at it a
little bit more on the next pass.

Again, lots of good observing time. Sure makes
life interesting for me, and I hope the da - data
is useful. I started out with a building block
32 at Sun center, with a good old quick look at
the corona. I did not see anything that had been
changed from a picture I had taken about an hour
and a half previous. Then I went down to look
at the region right above active region 05 and
when I had looked at the previous orbit and thought
perhaps was surges going out along magnetic field
1737
lines or were - were - which would - outlining

loops. That particular configuration did not
appear, but other relatively smaller surges did.
360 22 47 59 SPT And I Could not say that they followed the same
magnetic field lines, but there was fewer - few
surges on the previous orbit. And it looked like
four or five smaller ones on this one. So things
were changing. We did have a very good PR struc-
ture above that area. I thought I'd do two things:
One is to get behind time - or not behind time
really but at least some time resolution pictures
of that region with 55 and 56, and I gave 54 a long
exposure to look at the X-rays and see if there's
a connection between the streamer structure and
the X-rays I asked A1 Krieger to describe to me on
the night side during the science conference.
By the way, that's a very clever and useful idea.
CC ... 15 seconds from LOS. We'll see you over

Madrid 48 minutes from now.
SPT What I'd like to discuss is electron density, and

- the other is a density-typestructure field. It's
a good way to learn a lot. So what I did was point
the HORIZONTAL H-AT_HA-L CROSSHAIR slightly off
the limb, ROLL to minus 4388, which Just about
centered the surging material. The active region
05 was Just slightly left at centerline, and 00
was up and to the left in my picture. I gave
55 MIRROR, AUTO RASTER with a GRATING POSITION of
zero; truncated at line 20. Gave them 12 of those.
56 received 12 PATROL, SHORTs at the same time
interval as 55 early initiations. And 54 received
one long exposure, and this was carried out with
setting it up in M, S, I, S, 1. And that sequence
was initiated at h4:40 time remaining and then once
again at 22:40 time remaining.
360 22 50 33 SPT So that should have given them a 22-minute exposure.

I was just going to go back to Sun center and was
back at Sun center, as a matter of fact, doing
a building block 2 so that 55 could get some infor-
mation on electron density and got a call from
ground about a type 3 radio burst. Looked at the
corona; could not see anything - at least not into -
on a gross scale anyway. But with our monitor I
1738
did not pretend that we could see anything of a

fine structure at all; so I did not change the
mode.
360 22 51 33 SPT I thenwent back out after the building block 2

was complete. And in that building block 2, I
just included ... slit 56, with PATROL, NORMAL;
52 and 55 with a MIRROR, AUTO RASTER at GRATING
of zero. I went back out to look at the region
above active region 05, and about 1 arc minute
out, I was able to find some counts up around 50
or 60 on oxygen VI, which filled the guidelines.
55 and up would indicate that there is some
structure out there - a limb structure - I'm not
sure. I plan to work this one a little bit more
the next orbit. I got a couple of ideas in mind;
we'll Just see how they come out.

designated for 18:46. That's building block 32
at Sun center and JOP 21, building block 35.
SPT It all went real well; no - no problems. I did -

had to take an extra lap around the grating,
however; ended up with the last MIRROR, AUTO
RASTER at GRATING 0000. About the second or the
last third of it or so was below 400 K. Every-
thing else went nominal. Actually, I was able
to get in eight - excuse me - seven M, O, S, 256's
for 54, rather than eight ... - Also at the very
beginning of the orbit, I did see a brightening
in H-alpha in that area which we had expected to
be a good performer, the one with high magnetic
field gradients to the northwest of the leader
spot. It was a fairly bright plage. I did not
see any accompanying enhancement in the XUV MON-
ITOR. And we were in the South Atlantic anomaly;
so I could not discover anything from the PMEC.
I watched the XUVMONITOR; and was spring loaded
if a flare rose, but nothing developed.

CC Skylab, Houston. We're about 45 seconds from LOS.

We're going to drop out about 3 or 4 minutes, and
I'll call you at Bermuda. And, Bill, about 1 min-
ute from now, we may have lost voice with you, but
we'd like those two circuit breakers closed and
then you can forget them. Now ... - -
SPT We did the scheduled operations. As for the ob-

serving time, I started out looking at the region
above the limb at active region 05.. I had the
ROLL in minus h523 which put the horizontal cross-
hairs Just about tangent to the limb at that loca-
tion. 55 I gave three truncated MIRROR, AUTO
RASTERs at line - at a GRATING POSITION of zero;
went down to line 20. 56, a PATROL, NORMAL and 54,
a M, S, O, S, 256.
361 01 55 19 SPr I was going to explore the - with GRATING, AUTO

SCANs - I was going to explore the - what I thought
was a indication of a loop above the limb, at
least the base of one. It later turned out to be
just the start of some surge activity. I got a
call from activity saying there was a surge out of
active region 00 and a request to go to Sun center
and look, which I did. I did not see anything, so
I gave 52 a STANDARD mode to that; 55 a MIRROR, AUTO
RASTER, zero GRATING POSITION; and 56 three PATROL,
SHORTs. I looked before and after the STANDARD
and could not see anything in the corona, comparing
it with our photograph and what I could remember.
No evidence of a transient or change. Went back
out to the limb to pick up where I was and had
Just started a GRATING, AUTO SCAN and noticed that
we really had some good surging - had started up
and set my position to REF. But unfortunately,
I was off the limb, and I took another lap around
the - the GRATING, which was Just fair - fairly
frustrating because we had all kinds of good data
going by the board as the GRATING took another lap.
361 01 57 02 SPT I moved back on to the limb Just in - just before

we came up to ll00 on the - or ll,000 on the GRAT-
ING, then picked up the zero pulse, got back to zero
17hl
REFs, went out to the limb, started - GRATING, AUTO

SCANs. And what I did was to move off to a posi-
tion of minus 1017, which put the top of the scan
Just a little bit - that is line 1 was Just on
the limb. That way I would only have to go down
to around line ii or 12 or so to pick up the activ-
ity to give him a wider time resolution. I had
executed a few of those and got a call from Houston
saying to turn the DETECTORS, OFF because they
thought I was not at the right position. And
that took a little explaining. I turned the DE-
TECTORS, OFF, so we lost a little bit more data
until that got straightened out; turned the DE-
TECTORS back on again and picked up the MIRROR,
AUTO RASTERs. While I was out there, I had two
things going on 56 a - I gave them about a
8-minute exposure - a 7-minute exposure on FILTER, 2
and then a much shorter one on FILTER, 4. I had
planned a longer one, but because of the activity
and the fact that I had to move around, I termi-
nated their exposure. I only got about 4 or 5 min-
utes on FILTER 4 and a couple of more PATROL, SHORTs.
PATROL, SHORTs.
CC ...
361 01 58 51 SPT I think had I Just stayed right where I was right
out on the limb and continuously had done MIRROR,
AUTO RASTERs, we could have gotten some very good
high-time resolution data on that surging material.
But, 05 and O0 will be there tomorrow, so I'll
look for it then also.

in time alloted. 1 Bravo, Sun center, was executed
in 82 Alfa. I did the GRATING, 3 SCAN on - on

CC Bermuda comes up at 03:35, and you'll be talking

to the doctor there. And ATOM wants me to say to
you, you have an A-plus on your ATM closeout this
evening. He'ssatisfied with it all. Thank you
much.
SPT Thank you.
361 03 31 04 PLT Did a MIRROR, AUTO RASTER; detector, all zeros.

Then I went back and gave one AUTO SCAN on line 25.
Let's see. I may not have given you the full
four 54 sequences. I may have only given you
two after the roll m_neuver. I didn't want to
give it - I didn't - I didn't copy the frame
count down, and I didn't want to expose too mATkV;
SO I decided to err on the short side there. I -
let's see, *** I did the video tape 3 minutes. I
timed it so I could *** LC on the ROLL from zero
to minus 5400. Then gave you the XUVMON sequence.
361 03 31 57 PLT After the building block 1 was completed, I went

down to the - at minus 5400 ROLL - Went down to _
the west limb where Ed said there was some good
spicule activity or surges, and I did - oh, I
guess about six or seven mini-MARs down on through
line lO. I took 12 to 13. I tried to catch around
12 and 13, which I think was actually a little bit
too far now that I - I was watching it. I started
to lose most of the activity about line 10, where
I was pointed; so I did that. Then I went - I
thought, well, I'll give them better time resolu-
tion; so I went to line 8, which looked like -
Cutting across the surges, it was getting flipped
back and forth on the ta]kback - the O-ORDER
ta3kback. I think we got about - oh, probably
half a dozen LINE SCANs on line 8 there before
we hit about 2 minutes. I wanted to get back on
Sun center and get everything tied up for the
powerdown. And the coronagraph looks - The
corona is fairly interesting on the west limb,
and it has the one helmet streamer on the equator
on the east limb.
361 03 33 21 PLT On the west limb it looks like there's about -

oh, very, very fine but very distinct - that is,
narrow streamers at about 2:30 and 2 o'clock and
17h3
maybe 2:30, 2:h5, 3 o'clock. That's two of them.

And then there's sort of a grouping - more or
less a wide - more - more widened helmet streamer
down around 4 o'clock. Quite a lot of activity
in the corona on the west limb. The active region
O0 there, I couldn't tell much about it. I think
that you can probably see as much as I can in H-
alpha. The - There does seem to be an awful lot
of activity on the limb, however, and think you
got the 55 data on that.

TIME SKIP
361 04 17 29 SPT SPT at 04:17; Mh87-3B. Wardroom: General arange-

ment's pretty good. I think the volume on the
compartment could be slightly larger, although
I think it 's fairly adequate. Again, on the
arrangement, I find that the SPT - to get to the
food or to the place for stowage of used cans or
_- to the can crusheror to the food freezer- has
to crawl over the CDR or the PLT. And I think,
from that standpoint, the arrangement of the room
could be a little bit better. I think it ought to
be worked out so that all three have accessibility
to the items required during a meal as well as
_mmediately before and _m,_diately after.
361 0h 18 35 SPT Ceiling-to-floor proximity: I think that's pretty

good. I think the height is good, and I think
we ought to keep triangles on the - or some way
of stabilizing yourself on both ceiling and floor
as well as on the walls as much as possible. Trash
collection provision: They're adequate. Stowage
volume and ex - access: I would like to keep in
the wardroom those things which are used - to be
used in the wardroom, like most of the food. For
example, down here we have to go on up and try to
pull most of the food out of the - the lockers and
bring only a small amount down here and especially
now that we're working, where every third day we
have to go shopping and find all of the overage
food. We've gradually moved it all down here, but
we've had things like ED experiments to showers to
f
17_4
flies to clothing modules. Just everything has

ended up in here instead of - Just a haven for
anything they can't fit elsewhere.
361 04 19 49 SPT And I don't think that's right. We ought to put

things in here which are strictly used for the
food. You ought to have to have the pantry right
down here. Temporary equipment restraints: Well,
we don't use equipment as such. For ourselves,
we've ripped out the - the bottom plates, and that's
probably one of the best things we've ever done.
Now we have some good footholds on the floor, and
now it's much easier to work and eat. Personnel
mobility aids: There are none. Personnel restraint
devices: Well, I Just discussed that one. Thermal
comfort: That's good. Noise level: That's great;
no problem. Il111_ination: That's adequate.
Okay, in the head, WMC: I say it's too small and
cramped. General arrangement: Functionally, it's
good; it works well.
B61 04 20 57 SPT Volume of the compartment: As I said, it's too

small. Ceiling-to-floor proximity: No problem.
Ingress/egress provisions: Again, it's too hard.
If two guys want to be in there at the same time,
they're really crawling all over each other. That's
part of the accessibility. Trash collection pro-
visions are adequate. Stowage volume and access:
That's no good; pretty poor. I think it would be
much easier if we had more - mRke the thing larger
and put some more lockers around there where we
could store more towels, more washclothes, urine
disposal bags. Each _ have his own cupboard
for - for his own personal belongings. I think
that's way under - under supplied and really Just
a token gesture for things related to personal
items - your Dopp kit and anything else you'd like
to keep in there. Personnel restraint devices:
There are none; it's lousy. It's one of the
poor - most poorly thought out provisions in the
whole spacecraft. I don't know how anybody figures
you can do something with the bare floors. You're
Just bouncing off those walls when you're in there,
like a ping-pong ball.
361 04 22 _l SPT I would give someone a flat zero on that one, and
I would think he deserved it; it's poor. We need
1745
triangles in there_ we need flow throughout the

whole room. That exhaust fan does a good Job, but
I'm not sure where it's coming from. Must be com-
ing through the door. What we really ought to
have is some way of sucking the air right up from
below, same as we do in the - in the other rooms.
Thermal comfort's adequate. Noise level's great.
IiD_mluation's fine.
361 04 23 25 SPT 0kay, in the sleep compartments; general arrange-

ment and orientation of compartments. General
arrangement: l would like to have it so that the
SPT doesn't have to go trudging by two other gu_s
on the way out in the middle of the night and wake
them up. I think the arrangement ought to be such
that three guys could have access to the sleep
compartments without having to go through or im-
mediately adjacent to the other two. The compart-
ment, itself, is too small. I think what we need
in there are some locations where a person could
sit down or at least, if you will, sit as best
he can in zero g and work. You need a _m_ll -
small desk in there. You need better, more pro-
visions for your personal equipment. I've had to
take and restowlots of things- take the trash-
bags out of there, which have no place in the
sleep compartment, a whole host of other things,
and try tomake a little more provision for some
of the things I'd like to have i_mediately acces-
sible to me.
361 04 24 35 SPT Ceiling/floor proximity is fine. Ingress/egress

provisions, I Just discussed. 'ITash collection
is fine. Stowage volume and access, I've Just
discussed. Again, that is poor in that stowage
volume for personal items is negliaible. Access
to them: I would Just as soon use a few more
walls for that. Temporary equipment restraints:
There are none. Personnel mobility aids: None.
Personnel restraint devices, other than the sack
which we've already discussed, none.
361 04 25 13 SPT Thermal comfort: The SPT is into - two things.

It's either too hot or too cold in some instances.
If it's too cold, I put _ feet right down there
by the blower or the vent coming through the
floor. I usually wear one or maybe two pair of
socks at night Just so my feet don't freeze. And
1746
I don't know. It's no - no design feature, but

on the - when we get to high beta angles, the
SPT's sleep compartment gets rather warm on the
wall there because there's one part of the wall
there which is not shaded by the thermal shield
outside. Noise level: Fine. llll,m_nation:
Great.
361 04 26 03 SPT Experiment compartment, general arrangement and

orientation of compartment: Okay, here I would
like to see us start using walls a little bit
more. We've Just got bare open spaces on walls.
I don't know why we can't use equipment. It's
really a one-g device. 0WS is one g. That's one
feature I do like about the MDA, is that at least
we've mauaged to make use of all the walls. The
walls are the working area.
361 04 26 35 SPT I said this whole 0WS is essentially made for -

made for working, for training in one g.
361 04 36 32 SPT *** photography or for better vision, for one rea-
son or another. They could do it in the airlock.
Well, what can you say about it? And airlock is
an airlock. The tube - the tube is a tube. There's
not much else you can do with it. General arrange-
ment and orientation of the compartment for EVA is
adequate. Volume: Well, I think it could be a bit
larger. Run into a few instances where we had
tough times planning for an EVA and - and stowing
of gear just because we don't have enough room in
there. I'm afraid one of these days we're going
to kick one of those delicate pieces of gear while
we're in there and really mess it up. I think the
volume could at least be 50 per - should be at
least 50 percent larger for that kind of operation.
Getting yourself in there with all that umbilical
and - and in a situation which may require that
you have a volume available to you for crew safety,
I don't think it's good - a good design in terms
of volume. You Just flat need more.
361 04 37 43 SPT Ceiling/floor proximity: Yes. That's not appli-

cable. Ingress/egress provisions: They're great,
one after the other. Trash collection provisions:
There are none, but you don't need it in there.
You're always passing through whenever you'd be in
the mode of making or generating trash. Stowage
_ 17_7
volume and access: I think we need a little more

stowage volume for EVA, and that fits in with the
whole - well, the question of volume. Temporary
equipment restraints : Not needed except for EVA.
Personnel mobility aids: Not needed. Personnel
restraint devices: Not - Well, I would think may-
be, for EVA, we could do something there. I think
if we could have ourselves a pair of heel clips in
there which could be - which could be put in vari-
ous locations for a given EVA, set up ahead of
time, it might make it a little easier to work.
361 04 39 01 SPT Thermal cnm1"ort: Fine. Noise level: Again,

we've got the problems with the pumps in there.
That's way too high. AM - the ATM coolant pump
which is - ATM and EREP coolant pump which is
acting up. I think if we're going to have gear
like that around there, we should not have it so
close to the walls and where the vibration and
sound can be transmitted so easily. That leaves
the MDA, which will be discussed next, as a
noise source. But that certainly is - certainly
is a real generator of noise. And I think in
fUture planning we ought to take into account
malfunctions of that kind and try to keep all
the potential noise sources away from bare metal
- being right up against bare metal walls which
act like a vibrator - accoustical can. Illum_-
nation is - is adequate for EVA. If we had to
spend any other time there for something else -
I guess it is pretty good. I - I really can't
complain about it. It's the only situation I've
ever been in that I've never had any problems
with. Again, though, I would make the EVA hatch
here the general location of it, though. I
would make it an appendage - if you will - an
appendage coming off of the main spacecraft
rather than as a - something you had to pass
through. I think it would ma_e it a heck of a
lot easier for setting up for EVA and translating
from one place to another. You wouldn't have all
the EVA gear in your way. We could set up the
EVA gear and leave it there from one EVA to the
next. Anyway, there ought to be like a T. Just
have it coming off at right angles, if you will,
to the central shaft of the spacecraft if it's
still going to ... Whatever it is, you shouldn't
have that in the major flow.
1748
361 Oh hl 07 SPT And finally the MDA STS. Well, let me say - Well,
there's one thing I do like about it - general
arrangement and orientation of compartment.
Some people, I guess, do knock it, but I kind of
like having the walls and working space. How-
ever, I'd find that when we've got stowage and
working volume all Just kind of thrown in there,
it's a hodgepodge. I thinkwe ought to try to
centralize stowage or at least put it all in one
location. They may have had to - to do it that
w_y because of weight. I'm not sure. But
functionally, it sure would be a heck of a lot
easier if we had all those big stowage lockers
all together and well labeled. I don't see any-
thing here that gets into that question of
labeling. And let me talk about that. The
MDA STS is one of the biggest mysteries of the
world when you go in there to find a panel. The
200 series, I think I can find. But I'll tell
you, sometimes they have - I've been on so many
wild geese chases in that place, both in training
and in flight. I wasted more time because some
guy had given me a panel number which in no way
related to the panel numbers which should be
adjacent to it.
361 Oh 42 21 SPT A 2h3 is nowhere near a 2_5. I will never be able

to guess - Seme panels are closed inside some-
thing - with no - nothing on the exterior that's
immediately obvious to you unless you search
every square inch of the spacecraft - that -
The panel really is on the inside of another
enclosure. I think that thing is probably one
of the worst pieces of layout work in terms of
nomenclature and organization that I've ever
seen. I think the guy - When they did that, it
looks as though they Just kind of flipped nnmhers
up in the air and scattered them all around. And
whatever way they came out, that's the way it
was. Certainly that - the least they could have
done in there was to take at least - put panels
and labeled them with A, B, C, or D, depending
upon the quadrant they were in. That would have
helped a lot. And then stepped them on up from
i00 on up to 200 and in series, if you will, so
that they had the - the first 2 foot [sic] was
from the - the first 2 feet from the command
module would be 100 and - to ll0; and would have
17_9
put an A, B, C, or D after it. That would help.

At least know where you were, what quadrant you
were in or what - what sector. Then I can think
of - with a little imagination - a couple other
ways Of doing it. They way it is right now, it's
got to be one of the world's worst.
361 04 44 08 SPT Volume of the compartment: Ah, it's okay for the
Job you have to do. Ceiling/floor proximity: Not
applicable. Ingress/egress provlsions: Well, it
was great ; no problem getting in and out of one
end or the other. Trash collection provisions:
Inadequate. There are none. That's a real fault
of that compartment. That's one of the reasons I
end up with a pocketful of garbage at the end of
the day, because I do a lot of work in that com-
partment. I always end up with things I need to
be throwing out - anything from cans, which I take
up there for - to eat a meal while I'm working the
ATM, pieces of things that you have to cut up and
work on for checking checklists. You - you name
it; there's a whole list of things. Temporary
equipment restraint: There we fall short, too.
I think we need to have in that area more than
Just a coupleof trianglesurfaces. I thinkwe
need triangles everywhere we don't have a piece of
gear. That would allow you to at least tie some
gear down in a temporary way with some of these
other personnel or temporary equipment restraints
which I Just talked about in the 0WS. I also find
that - one thing that's very noticeable about this
whole location - the whole thing, that is. The
whole space station is broken up into a hodgepodge.
They were made by different people, and it cer-
tainly shows. I think everything ought to be -
become more standardized and uniform. The 0WS
and an airlock functionally should be different,
but I think in terms of the types of equipment -
restraint straps, the whole works - they ought to
be uniform.
361 04 46 17 SPT Personnel mobility aids: None. Personnel re-

straint devices: Well, mobility aids, you don't
need. But personnel restraint devices, none; Just
flat zero. And I think in here you need triangles
or some other - whatever we come up with in that
future to - to work on. I think the triangles are
really adequate. Matter of fact, I think they're
j_
1750
more than adequate. I've learned to use them, and

I think they're super. But there's no handholds
in there; Just flat nothing. There's this gear
which I have to grab onto. I think in the - in
the one-g layout that you have down here in the
experiment compartment, you don't need handholds
out in the center of the floor. Up there in the
MDA, I think you at least need some handholds -
or something to grab onto to move from one place
to the other - sticking out a little above some
of the equipment because that equipment - Some of
it's fragile; some of it's Just flat baresided.
One thing I have a deathly fear of is grabbing
those rate gyro and sending us off on a - rate
gyros off on a wild goose chase. Granted they
were not supposed to be in there to begin with,
but now we shouldn't have that worry about deli-
cate equipment.
361 0h h7 51 SPT Thermal comfort: It gets a little cold up there.

I had to take a Jacket up there to work on the
ATM or anything else. I come down to the OWS,
and I find myself taking the Jacket off; sometimes
the T-shirt. I know we got an inconsistency there. _
Noise level: Way too high. Aside from the pump
which I mentioned, we've got rate gyros in there.
And they're both making so much racket, I can't
tell what noise level exists underneath the two of
those. Granted the rate gyros were not a design
feature. But the fact is, they're in there and
they do make a whale of a lot of noise. Gradual-
ly, you tune it out after a little while, but -
For example, when you're recording, it obscures
the recording. I don't think you can think as
clearly in there, as you - as you might be able
to without all that racket right behind you. I
think anything like that ought to be greatly re-
duced. Interms of energy, a factor of l0 to lO0
or so less than what it is right now - that's
noise energy.
361 0h h9 02 SPT Illumination: Again, it get - it's a little dark

in there. I think we got enough light scattered
around to really get good photography. You have
to take and bring in some high-intensity lights.
For some reason, the lights we have in there -
matter of fact, all throughout the whole space-
craft - are Just low ill1_nation. I don't know
1751
why we can't get something that puts out a few

watts. Rather than scatter all these mediocre
low-ill_,m_uation lights all around the place, why
don't we get a couple of good ones? You certainly
need a reasonable number so you won't come up with
a lot of shadows. But I think we filled them -
filled them adding a large number of sq1_ares, in
terms of light scattered around, we get poor qual-
ity. By quality, I mean power output.
361 04 50 05 SPT I guess that's it. Oh, one other thing on illu-
mination. I do work _-ith relatively low ill_m_-
nation in there sometimes, and I find it works real
well. When l'm working up at the ATM, I usua]Sy
keep the three lights over the head off so that I
can look at the - interpret the attitude displays
adequately. So I think in there, again, you need
a wide range of variabilities, not fixed. I find
myself always peeping around there turning lights
off and on. I think what l'd like to do is to
have a switch right by the ATM control panel or
rheostat, which you can turn up or turn down. I
think in the future when we have panels which have
- a requirementfor varying degreesof light, de-
pending upon what function you're performing, you
need to have a light switch right nearby so that
you - you don't have to keep leaping out of your
triangles, do a 15-to-20-second Jig around the
spacecraft in order to adjust the lights the way
you need them. I spent quite a - quite a fair
amount of time doing that so far.

be three frames on a new magazine in Hasselblad
Charlie X-ray 52. I think we're in the South
Atlantic. We got a picture of two new ice islands;
the one that we've been reporting all the time or
two new ones. And I got - let's see - one, two,
three, maybe four frames on that; I'm not sure.
One - or the last one's an oblique with all the
large islands picture, so I think we're in the
South Atlantic. But, anyway, the reason I took
1752
this picture is because I had not seen two of

these ice islands before.
361 12 l0 07 PLT Shows also a lot of icebergs floating around them.
361 12 14 h0 SPT SPT at 12:lb. PRD readings, 42559, 23308, 38h01.

361 12 42 18 SPT SPT at 12:h2 reporting handheld photos G0 and 81,

empty quarter in Saudi Arabia. We got a good look
at very - a fair nlmber of different kinds of
sand dunes. Star dunes, chain dunes, and giant
crescent dunes, as well as some of the different
sizes and graduations of these sizes, which ...
tends to decrease.
361 12 h3 05 SPT We were photographing and have not really had time
to - to look for details of hooked dunes,
transverse dunes, and - perhaps we hit linear
dunes, but it looked - looked more like chain dunes.
Certainly a large variety of different types of
dune structures in this particular area. Hold on;
I'll give you the photographic information.
361 12 44 38 SPT And then also, although we did not really have a
great deal of time left, we got some with the
300-millimeter. Hopefully we did put a little
image motion compensation in there, but it's
certainly difficult. That was mag 36 taken at

JOP 18A, building block 30, Sun center. That was
no particular problem except for the video tape
recorder on the end. However, that took 2 minutes,
__ 1753
and at the setup for the next building block, I

think we cut the time a little short. I ended
up with - not a 30-minute exposure for - for 82A
but a 27-minute exposure before we got to 400 K.
And I ended up taking an extra lap around the 55
grating again, and I think the problem was se_
time.
361 14 22 18 SPT I'll have another go at it this next orbit. It's

pretty much the same schedule, and we'll see how
it works out. Trying to stay up with the pointing
table is pretty much of a fUll-time Job. And it
takes a fair amount of development in technique,
problem being that the MPC is really not suited
for this kind of work. It's suited much better
for a visual feedback, when you can look at what
small motions you're making. Unfortunately, there
appears to be a significant delay in the time you
make an input into the hand controller and it
finally shows up as the final number in the - in
the readout.
361 14 23 03 SPT In your visual displays such as H-alpha, or white

r light, it is always _---ediate, and you can see
yourself making a 1-arc-second change. Here,
you have to lean on the hand controller, then
Just wait until the - you all of a sudden see a
_mher change, and Just lean fUrther and further
on it until you all of a sudden see a number changed
and come off it quickly. And you may get anywhere
between 3 to l0 arc seconds. And if you overshoot,
then you try to come back. And sometimes you
overshoot coming back. And some of them I tested
in there, at least on those numbers on the pointing
table, which on occasion will overshoot; so I'm
sure it will have to be corrected. But it was
not as good as I was certainly hoping to do, which
was that 2 arc seconds every 15 seconds. That one,
I'm afraid, is out of reach with the present con-
trol system we've got.
361 14 24 05 SPT Did see the comet in the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH;
it's about 2 solar radii out or so. I could Just
see the barest hint of a tail, but it was fanning
out. I must say I'm a little disappointed in the

to think they're easy enough to do, once we get
the - everything else all settled down and all
you've got to do is look at the pointing table.
I did miss the - the VTR because I did not have
time to read that; it was at the very bottom. And
I thought we were wanting it Sun center, and so I
looked at it, and it was on the comet; so I'll try
to pick that up this next time, on the next orbit.

361 15 51 42 SPT SPT at 15:51. Second ATMpass of the day, which

began at 15:01. Okay, this one went a heck of a
lot smoother for two reasons. One is, there was
... a little bit more time than I really needed
between the building block - the first of building
block 30, 18A, and 18 - 18A, step l, and 18A, step
2. And also, I think I've learned how to tweak it
a little bit better. The only thing I did - did
_ 1755
mess up was 54; neglectedto get them the exposure

on the first building block. I think I was reading
ahead.
361 15 52 56 SPT I would say that the tracking on this one was pro-
bably the ... a straight line of up/down versu_
time. I'd say the mean deviation about that line
was plus or minus 2 arc seconds, which is a factor
of 04, maybe, better than what I had done on the
first one. We tweaked the hand this time, a couple
of a series of pulses, and I was able to get 1 or
2 or 3 arc seconds at a time. I had tried for
2 arc seconds every 15 seconds, and I think most
the time it was pretty good. So a couple of oc-
casions we got a little out of bounds, but we did
not stay out there very long ... 5, 6, 7 arc sec-
onds. There are only a couple of instances of
that, but very short periods of time. So I think
82A got fairly good resolution on that one in
terms of pointing.

When you add up four 13-minutes passes of this

J0P 18 Alfa went very well, with no problems. The

only hangup we had was on how to run S05h, and
that's all on the air-to-ground_ so I don't see
any reason to rehash that in a debriefing. I
looked at a little bit of XUV MON while doing the
VTR recording, and there was nothing too spec-
tacular to be seen. There is a bright spot on the
east limb coming around and - or a large bright
area that's going over the west limb at the - at
the moment. The WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH - I
discontinued the CONTINUOUS MODE of operation in
S052 for about h5 seconds in order to get some
WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH on the video downlink -
or on the VTR. And then I picked up on CONTINUOUS
again and pressed on with it to truncate at two
to go. The comet in this - on the WHITE LIGHT
CORONAGRAPH is quite plain now. It's every bit as
bright as Mercury was when we first started doing

any indications of - of a current in the area. We
had some sunglint for a while, but the sunglint was
uniform throughout, indication no presence of a
change in current or anything like that. The cloud

30. Let's see. Thing was executed fairly well
according to the JOP S,Tmmary Sheet. I - One
anomaly: I forgot to monitor the WHITE LIGHT
C0RONAGRAPH in between the STANDARD and the three
SINGLE exposures. Oh, I know what it was. I
wanted to wait and do the XUV M0N at the same time.
What I did though, I interrupted a CONTINUOUS for
a bit of VTR on the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH and put
1762
on about 5 minutes of XUV MON. The comet is clearly

visible. At least there's something there; it's
in the right position. It appears to be the comet.
So all it is, is - Appears as a dot at - let's
see- December 28; 00. Yes, it's just about right.
It's Just up to the - the last of the - I'd say
it's northeast of the center of the Sun, in about
the right position according to this chart here.
So - But there was no comet tail visible. I
turned - I tried all the changes in contrast and
everything, but I couldn't see a tail. All I could
see was the spot. Having difficulty selecting.
I didn't get the two MIRROR, AUTO RASTERS at 2665
and 2999 because I was unable to select them. And
the anomaly was that after I went back to -
around to REFERENCE and tried to - got ready to
select 2665 or - excuse me - 2665, I overshot on -
and went back to REFERENCE to go back and get it
again - -
CC Skylab, back with you through Madrid for

l0 minutes.
361 20 33 57 PLT - - not really there - sure that I overshot. I

think I got a increment on the 80. What it was,
I didn't know what was going on. I was very con-
fused; so I went around to REFERENCE and started
over again. This time, I couldn't even get any-
thing higher than the 10's digit to register; it
Just kept cycling zero through 99 and zero through
99, and nothing else was showing. And so I finally
went back to OPTICAL REFERENCE, and soon as I got
to OPTICAL REFERENCE, it indicated an 80. But I
went ahead and turned on the detectors and did
another MAR at - I continued - continued to do MARs
at OPTICAL REFERENCE zero until ground advised
they'd set the grating and they set it. The number
that I'm indicating isn't the number that they set.
Not only that, but I'm in - Either I got an extra
stick showing on the 10's digit, or I've got one
missing. It's either a - it's either a 4 - It
should be - it - it - it looks a little bit like
a 4, or actually what it looks like is a 9 with
the upper horizontal stick missing; so I wasn't
sure whether I got a 4 with an extra stick showing
or a 9 with one missing. Anyway, it looks like
a 2744 with a extra stick or 2794 without a upper
horizontal stick showing. And that's the situation
1763
on the 55. Everything else, I think, was executed

nominally - nominally, and that's the only comment
I have.

The JOP 18 Alfa, step i, building block 30, was
completed with the following exceptions as - It
is completed per pad, with the following excep- -
tions: I think I only got three 54 repetitions.
I did documentary photos down below. And they
were back and forth and also setting up with a
TV downlink, and I think I'd lost track. And if
I - by numbering - I - I numbered the frames, and
I'm pretty sure I only got three cycles on that.
And by the time I noticed what was going on, there
was not enough time to get a fourth one. I got
rasters at - I guess it was 60 - 2999, 000, 162,
1042, and 2665. That's a SINGLE FRAME, i. 52 CON-
TINUOUS, three single 1-second exposures and
52 CONTINUOUS for the rest of the orbit with the
exception that interrupted it for about 5 minutes
for TV downlink. Comet is really streaking across
there, and you can almost see it - seams like you
can slmost see the thing move. At least I notice
a very perceptible difference from the first few
orbits to the end of the orbit, in monitoring
the 52 WHITE LIGHT COEONAGRAPH. So looks like -
I - There is - there is what looks like a tail.
I assumed it was not a tail because it didn't
seem to be pointed in the right direction, but it
may be. It may be I had my geometry all screwed
1765
up. But I would have thought that at least a rad -

there would - it would have looked like it was
pointed away from the Sun on a foreshortened basis,
and it didn't look like that; so I - I'm not sure.
It could have been - it could have been the angle
and a lot of other things, I guess, but I didn't
think I was seeing a tail. I thought I was seeing
some kind of electronic noise or smear.

362 00 07 58 CDR This is the CDR at 00:08 with results of the MOTh,
SMMD calibration. Start time was 23:h2; temper-
ature was 73. It's the wardroom unit. Day of
the year 361. The stop time was 23:56, and the
temperature was 74. It was - The first run sequence
was a cal mass of zero. The readout was 1.95537,
and the rest of the numbers I'll read are Just the
1770
last two: 55, 53, 61, 75, 76, 72, 35, 50, 94.
The next sequence was cal mass of 500. The read-
out - The first readout is 2.62196. The rest of
the numbers I read will be the last three numbers.
183, 185, 156, 160, 248, 206, 220, 186, 198. The
third sequence and last sequence is zero again.

prior to getting ready for this upcoming ATM pass.
SPT Sure do, Dick; go ahead.
326 O0 ii 34 CC Okay, there's a nuz update that's scheduled at

01:50 to 02:00 on the ATM schedule pad - -
PLT Stand by. 20 to 15 seconds.
CC - - for a later - I guess it's the next daylight

cycle for you.
CC We'd like you to delay that nuZ update until we

get AOS Honeysuckle, which is going to be at a
time of about 02:10. After we get AOS - -
PLT Stand by.
CC Honeysuckle, we would like you to try to get a

star tracker lockon while we're looking and try
and get it to Gerald and see if we can watch you
do that.
362 O0 12 00 PLT MARK. Okay, that's the termination of a 5-minute

exposure. And waiting for 14 to come around. And
we're going to get it. We have already had
94.9 ROTATION, TILT 27.9. We want a 2-minute ex-
posure.
1771
362 00 12 lh CC Yes, we will have to terminate the star tracker

prior to doing this, but we might as well wait
r until that - wait to do that until we get AOS
Honeysuckle.
SPT Okay, Dick, I'll wait for your call.
362 O0 12 26 CC Okay. One more thing for you, Ed. We checked on

the comet visibility, and it turns out that it's
not going to become visible from underneath that -
that ATM wing until January 8, which is a long
time away. We have, however, had some - a couple
of more glitches on the CMG number 2. One of
them occurred during the EVA, and another one
occurred today during the solar inertial steady
state period. The only difference being is this
one that occurred today, occurred in the upper
half of the region of temperatures in which we
are controlling that - that variance. So there's
not anybody down here that's real anxious to do
any extra maneuvers of any kind. And since we
don't have a specific requirement for the visual
ops or the 273 during this period, doing the
maneuver to take a look at the comet seems pretty
_-- far out. (Laughter)
362 00 13 24 PLT What he's telling you, Ed, is you can take it and
stuff it (laughter).
SPT Dick, I take it the answer is no (laughter). But

we agree with you.
362 00 13 37 CC Well, as a matter of fact, Phil and I have been

debating about this for quite a while. But, yes,
it looks like that's undoubtedly the smartest
thing to do.
SPT ... see their objection to that.
PLT Stand by. Coming up in about 7 seconds.

SPT Dick, what is the GRATING POSITION you're reading

down there on the ground?
362 O0 15 06 CC We don't have any data here, Ed. Tananarive is

S-band voice only.
SPT Okay, I'm reading 2897 up here. I'm wandering

whether that's the last value which was used or
whether that's an incorrect value?
CDR Why don't you look on the pad, you d1_?
362 O0 15 25 CC 2897 is the last value of the GRATING we saw, Ed.

So that sounds right.
SPT Thank you.
CDR Look on the pad you big _Immy!
362 O0 15 36 CC And, Skylab, Houston. We're 2 minutes from LOS.

362 00 17 08 CDR This is the CDR at 00:17 Zulu debriefing the ATM
pass that started at 23:45, I guess it was. No,
let's call that 22:30. Okay, this was - that pass
was again a building block 30 and JOP 18 Alfa.
1773
All the operations went as scheduled. We didn't

I get our full four scans of the S05_ data in because
we truncated at 6 minutes to go, 6 minutes time
remaining. Kohoutek is now off the video monitor
that we - so we can't see it. When I shut dowrz
at the end of the last run, the comet was Just
barely - the coma was just barely showing at the
r edge of the TV screen if you put your head down
close and looked over the side underneath the
bezel. You could see a little bit of the tail
still on the - on the screen, but there's very
little to be seen. So the comet is essentially
gone now as far as our video seeing is concerned.
Took a little look at the XUVMONITOR and saw a
big fat nothing. There are no bright spots or
anything anywhere On the XUV, other than the -
the bright areas that are associated with active
region 00 and 99 and the rest of them over on the
west limb. And we have one bright area coming
over the east limb. The WHITELIGHT CORONAGRAPH
is essentially unchanged from this morning. We
have a nice wide streamer coming around the east
limb and two narrow streamers and a wide band
_- between them going over the west limb.

TIME SKIP
362 01 ii 04 SPT SPT at iB:ll [sic], orbit which began at 00:18.

Building block 30, Sun center, came off straight-
forward. After that I had a little time for ob-
serv/ng. And I thought I'd go over and look at
the activity in active regions O0 and 99 while
we still had them. Going to be a dry spell, so
I thought I'd make most of what was - what little
there was left. And I looked for surges. I saw
what appeared to be one above active region 99,
went out to around 15 arc seconds. And I did some
MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs, truncated down to line 13
and some PATROL, SHORTs. They all had truncated
MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs, seven PATROL SHORTs, and I
was around 55 arc seconds off the limb with the
H-ALPHA1. ROLL was 58 -minus 5829; UP/DOWN of
minus 1020; and T.k_T/RIGHT of plus 36. I watched
this while we were doing the observations of 55
1774 ....
and 56. And that did not appear very d_namic,

and if anything looks as though it was fading back
in. I got a call about some irregular readings
from the southwest quadrant or above the south-
west quadrant of the limb. And I went over to
look at what .- take a look at activate region 00
again, and there was a small but fairly bright
surge visible there also, inclined around 45 de-
grees to the vertical, towards the north, about
l0 arc seconds in length and I thought I could
also see a hint of same fairly bright vortices
material above it in H-ALPHA. And I did the same
thing, 55 MIRROR AUTO RASTER at GRATINGs of zero.
362 01 13 54 SPT I truncated line 13 did seven of those and four

PATROL, SHORTs. And at the very conclusion of
the orbit, Just a little - little under 400 K, I
went back to Sun center and gave 52 a CONTINUOUS
MODE for 1 minute; they're part of a quickie.
362 01 14 30 SPT When I was reading this work I was neither too
original nor too inspired, but on those active
regions this appeared was the only thing that -.
really could be done other than Just MIRROR, AUTO
RASTERs, CONTINUOUS MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs and var-
ious grating positions to look very far out into
the corona. And I figured that is the type of
thing which, if you wanted, could be done very
easily on that. One thing I certainly do regret
and that is that we never did really get a good
flare rise when the opport_n_ty was available.
And I'm thinking that next time we do have an
active region in sight, which I hope we will again,
which has got a high flare prob - flare probability
like 00 did there. And that we will both respond
quick enough and with enough observing time and
dedication to getting yourself a flare rise. One
of these specifically is that when one of those
things appear that we are willing to give up on
our observing program, unless there is something
also of deeply exceptional nature, and then go
into the flare wait mode, maybe with some other
progr_ _n_Ing, but not with the S054, and always
remain pointed at the hottest spot in the region
and rolled for 82A for optimal dispersion.
362 O1 16 31 SPT And _clth the observing program such that the
observer's ear has enough - has only a very small
1775
amount to do with the other instruments, so he

can devote his full t_me to staring into the XUV
MONITOR. We'll probably have about one more shot
at it when this active longitude comes around again.
And if we get anything like this last time I think
we should have a good - good probability. And on
our part I would hope that we could get as m_ny
ATM passes per day. I personally will try to get
up early, go to bed late, and work as many as pos-
sible. What we have to do now is - when that
comes is convince the system that it's really
essential we go into that mode. I point out that
it is a prime ATM or a major ATM objective which
is yet to be fulfilled. And we certainly are
willing to do the best we can in order to get it.

362 13 05 08 SPT SPT at 13:05; HH30-12, Falkland Current. Unfortu-

nately, the whole area was clouded over down there
1776
at the very tip of South America when we came over

this morning, all except for the Straits of Magellan
which we very rarely see not under cloud cover; so
we did get a couple shot of those. Information
on that was -
362 13 05 47 SPT CX52, taken at 13:00. Frame numbers 21, 22; f/ll,
1/60, and 1/250. Let's see, that's the
100-millimeter, 1/250.
362 13 06 18 SPT However, all was not lost. We did see, at about
13:0_, plankton blooming which was out -out from
underneath the clouds, and it was heading pretty
much west from southeast. And it was at a location
of approximately 30 west and 41 south. So appar-
ently, we were looking at the stream lines of the
currents once they had converged and were moving
east a pretty good distance off the coastline.
362 13 07 04 SPT So apparently that plankton moving is giving a

good signature of the currents, at least far from
the coast. The blooming itself was pretty much
the same colors as we have seen before, relatively
bright green. It was fairly well defined, narrow.
I did not see any current eddies. But the length -
the length to width was, oh, roughly a factor of 7
to 10, with a slight graduation dropping off as it
moved away from the axis. The width of it - I
have no features out there in the ocean to make
an estimate, but I would be guessing on the order
of beyond 50 miles. Calling out the - kind of
wish we'd come over there because I think one of -
one of these days when we finally get it clear
we're going to be able to see a lot.

was HHll0-7. That is the northern part of the
western rift zone. Particular questions were,
are there any indications north of the Red Sea
of - of rift - rift type structures? We were not
able to see too much really close to the Afar
triangle because we were pretty far north of it.
However, as we flew over the islands - There are
some islands and an area - Oh boy. At the U-m-m-
1-e-a-J, I believe it is, and W-e-d-J. These are
two airfields that are on thenorthern side of

362 14 17 37 CDR Okay, this is the CDR again, picking up on the

subject of HHll0-7. The location of the folding
that we - that we noticed on the north side of
the Red Sea was at - just south of the town of
..... AiWaJh, W-a-j-h. A-I W-a-j-h, between the two
airfields that are shown on this particular map
of W-e-d-J and U-m-m-l-e-a-j. L-e-a-J is to the
south. The folding is somewhat parallel. I'd
say the folding is - the direction of the lines
is east to southeast. And they start just inland
from the water, near AiWedJ, and go east-southeast
on in and they pretty much parallel the mountains
along the coast there. But they are very definitely
lines of folding rather than Just a mountain crest.
It looks like it might even be faulting. I'm not
sure. The frames that were taken there are
numbers 23, 24, and 25 of Charlie X-ray 52, which
is a Hasselblad lO0. They were taken at an
f-stop of f/ll, 1/250 - correction 1/125. We
somehow got our camera change - lens changed to

" area to try to find if this is the only area that
we could see north of the Red Sea that looked like
there were any indications of folding. As I
mentioned before I got - we got pictures somewhat
of an oblique looking - Just about due east and
then when we got up above it we took another
1780
picture pretty much vertically down with a slight

tilt possibly toward the south-southeast, looking
right down the folding. So the only problem that
doesntt look right to me is it doesn't quite match
the - the direction of the folding and the break-
age down in the Afar triangle. However, it could
be that this - this folding could be - Since it
is parallel to the Red Sea, that could indicate
to me that a lot of the folding on the triangle
turns to the left or toward the northwest and moves
on up toward the Turkey area. And if it does,
this would fall in line with it then. If you
picture the breakage down in the Afar triangle
being pretty much north-south, but then as it gets
up into the Red Sea and across it and it heads to-
wards Sinai Peninsula, it begins to turn so that
the direction of the - of the breakage or the -
the folding is more in a north-westerly direction
rather northerly.

that the folds that we saw were probably i00 to
150 miles long. And hopefully, if we can get
another pass over this area a little further to
the south, we'll see if we can't connect this up
with the folding down in the Afar.

In the observations, I noticed a fair amount of
upwelling over on the east and the immediate west
side of South America - west side of Chile - off
F the coast of Chile down about a latitude of
40 south. In fact, 100 to 200 miles off the coast-
line is where I noticed the upwelling. Does not
appear to have any new organized pattern to it.
For the random circulation patterns ... they were
greatly ... water ...
362 16 41 50 SPT I did not have time to make any kind of detailed
observations but I was inclined to think - what
I thought was quite a large pattern. I could not
see how far it extended up and down the coastline
because of clouds. But I was surprised to find
a sort of large pattern on the west side of South
America. At the tip of South America we can take
a look at the large fires of Argentina. In general
there were two main sections. One was fairly
extensive; it was going up a larger smoke plume.
362 16 h2 31 SPT And the second one had two smaller areas I've
already given. I 'm sure the locations are well-
known and no need for me to try to detail them ...
Also the ... carried all the way to the tropical
side of South America, that is the west side, and
it was fairly clear. And it was not quite put
out. I got good - good shot of the fires as we
1782 f_
came over it and also an oblique view ... can

detail that fairly well. And I'ii give you the
photo number on those right now.
362 16 h3 42 SPT Mag ID was CX52. GMT was 16:31; ... frame num-
bers 26 through 29, f/ll, 100-millimeter, 1/125 of
a second. As best I could tell the smoke plume was
crossing the coastline somewhere around Mar del
Plata, making a ... extending out to sea. I think
the contrast was a little bit lower from the
water. And I could not see that it was traveling
out very far.
362 16 44 25 SPT The next item which I spotted was - looked to be -

in the north - northeast section, along the east
coast of South America - Brazil, Venezuela.
362 16 _5 56 SPT Essentially a longitude of 59 west along the

coast of - north coast of South America, a small
island, yellow in appearance. There's another
island further out. I thought what was striking
was there was a very dark blue upwelling to the
east of this island. The island itself was, I'm
estimating, maybe 20 miles across or so and the
upwelling to the east had a length and diameter,
to the island, of 4 or 5. Very pronounced dark
blue upwelling relative to the lighter colored
waters around it. I could not see any plankton
blooming, however. That's the first time I've
ever seen a real definite, clear indication of
upwellingby the color of the ocean water. It
was very pronounced.
362 16 46 57 SPT I could not see any upwelling associated with the
larger island further out.
362 16 49 16 SPT And SPT again. Lastly on the handheld photos, as

we ... position I noticed some upwelling again
along the coast of Africa. This is the northwest
coast, fairly extensive, maybe 100 to 150 miles
or so in - in size. And it was, best I can recol-
lect, somewhere south of Morocco, maybe north of
Fes, Sahara, right in that region.
362 16 &9 53 SPT No, I take that back. I'd better not venture a
guess. I'm not able to take a real close note of
these at the time, or the location at the time.
It may be Mauritania. I'll try and get a better
1783
look at it when we go over again. But I was sur-

prised to find upwellings of that - again fairly
extensive - of that size off the coast of Africa.
I Justsaw the upwelling by the plankton bloom
and associated it. But very much ... as we see
down in the east coast of South America.

15:58, excuse me. The JOP 24, step l, building

the 82B - or XUV SLIT monitoring pointing device,
LIMB SCAN/LIMB POINTING. I couldn't get stable
indication of either LIMB SCAN or LIMB POINTING.
So I went back to WHITE LIGHT DISPLAY, went to the
limb, saw my fine Sun sensor reading, added 40 to
it, went over to the right 40 arc seconds off of
the west limb.
362 16 55 55 PLT Everything was done according to the JOP S_m_ary

Sheet except I had the GRATING in on 54 which
• ground called me on, which screwed up the exposures
on 54. Also, my pointingwas - I got carried
away looking at that H-alpha display instead of
looking at XUV, and I pointed at the southern
boundary of the most active region on the east
limb.
362 16 56 26 PLT So I may not have had the most optimum active
region in the - the mirror view of the instrument.
But it was more or less on the trans - transition
zone between the very active in the XUV and the
less active. Okay, let's see; I only did one 54;
got through all of 55; d_d the one 82B exposure; no
82; did the complete on the 56. So that was about
it. The area does appear to have quite a lot of
activity associated with it in XUV. I did the TV
recording and that's about it.

_-_ 1785
362 19 50 56 CDR - - and, let's see, J0P 6 was no problem with that.
I started J0P 25 Alfa, building block l0 and gave
you a PATROL, SHORT at DOWN minus 500, LIFT
minus 50. While I was busy moving the GRATING to
2h34, I realized the pointing wasn't right. So I
went ahead and completed the PATROL, SHORT, and
when I got to the good pointing I had the proper
S055 readings, so I repeated another PATROL, SHORT
at proper pointing of minus 550 and minus 050.
So you got an extra PATROL, SHORT there at the
wrong pointing. Steps 2, 3 and 4 were no problem
with J0P 10. And I went in and did a single 89A
exposure, ROLL, zero. And then while powering
down to unattended ops, I was notified of a surge
in active region 00 so I fired up S052 STANDARD
and I threw another PATROL, SHORT at it. The
WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH showed quite a change -
oh, no, no, I shouldn't say quite a change. A
change from yesterday and that is the - the
streamer at 9 o'clock is still about the same,
wide base, narrow top, tapering.
362 19 52 18 CDR The streamer at - on the western limb - the lower

streamer is no longer a thin streamer. It's kind
of widened out and broadened at the base and kind
of joined all the hash that goes on - on up
until you get to the same narrow streamer that we
saw yesterday which was at high - higher. I would
say that this long, wide area extends from about
2 o'clock down to _ o'clock. The one I've seen
is the wide streamer. The - the narrow streamer
that turned wide is at h o'clock. You got a rather
level, hashy area from 4 to 2, and then at 2 o'clock
you have another - still got your narrow streamer.
The system is now powered down for unattended ops
and no for - no further comment.

DAY 363 (AM)
1787
363 00 55 00 SPT SPT at 00:55, the first JOP 18D. I found no

problem churning it out. When I first acquired the
comet it was minus 1.O and minus 20. After the
first building block 30 was over, it had moved to
minus 132 and minus 13. On the - average we
did it out to around 1 - minus 140 and zero. And
at that point I noticed that the intensity of the
flare was about as bright as Mercury was the pre-
vious time we had seen it on the display in that
that location. Secondly, I could move the - with
the CONTRAST a] ] the way up on MOMITOR l, I would
have to move the BRIGHTNESS down to a setting of
5.1 for the comet to disappear. I wanted to make
the maneuver again, slightly, Just to make sure
we were coming along the right axis and we had the
right scale factor in there. I tried to move it
into minus i00 and zero and I got a minus 78 and
plus 1. At that position, I could move it - or
the BRIGHTNESS down to a setting of 6.8 before it
disappeared.
363 00 56 31 SPT That is, it was, of course, more occulted by the -

it was more attenuated by the -

seen - as clear as I've seen it over the Hawaiian
string.
363 01 58 59 SPT SPT at 01:59, debriefing the ATM pass, with the
second 18C JOP. Okay, it all went pretty well.
We ... anyway, we tried at step l_ to find it on
the mirror and occasionally see some counts of 3
and Jerry claimed he saw a count of 8 once, but
we were never able to go back and find it. They
appeared ... when they were - when we first
pointed at the high counts that did come where -
somewhere around lines 5 to 10. So - that way
we figured we had - if that were the case that
we really had 82B looking at something worth-
while; that is, something fairly bright. I hope
that's the case, but again - -
_ 1789
363 02 00 01 CC ... Houston ...
363 02 00 20 SPT - - but that's a very - very rough assessment.

We'll have to depend on other ways to find out
where we're really pointing. Okay, we - made the
maneuver and put it out at 140. I think I've
described the comet on air-to-ground. I'll not
elaborate any further than information I've given
there. Put it out at minus 140 for a couple of
pictures. And that's a - then moved in - I moved
it in to i00, found out we had a little larger
overshoot than expected. So I tried to compensate
for that larger overshoot by - by decreasing the
scan in octal, and I maneuvered in to zero and
also maneuvered so we put it - had a correction to
make in Y. Ended up with plus 2 in Y, so I made
a correction which should move it 2 on the other
side as we moved in. I believe we got that ...
in zero. I could give you more detail than that,
but I believe that it's probably more confusing.
We made the maneuver in at 01:22. And thereafter
made corrections every 5 minutes and every
8-1/2 minutes, as specified. The corrections were
made - not always precisely on time, but pretty
close. And I think certainly we did it all well
within the granularity of the whole operation.
363 02 01 57 SPT The comet's beginning to look pretty interesting.

In fact some of the spikes are something you can
certainly discern. It's - Certainly wish we had
a much better instrument on board to take a look
at it. I don't think the WLC is doing the Job
for us. The exposures in building block 30 a11
went pretty well. 56 got their 20-minute exposure.
82B got all the exposures requested except the last
one. Rather than 22, we were l minute and 25
seconds short on that one. And that was about
20 minutes and 35 seconds.

ATM pass which was a JOP 18 Charlie. It started
1790
right out at the beginning as a can of worms with

a call by the ground to - for pointing, which I
don't think was right.
CC ...
363 03 42 25 CDR Okay, the maneuver that was sent up to me was

50221, 50405, and 50000. And the angles were
l.h5, h.05 and 0.7. Now we both should have
noticed that the - the Y numbers were identical
and that the maneuver in the Y should have been
5066 something, or on that order. Anyway, I
blindly went ahead and punched in the numbers
that I got up and read back down to the ground
and got nothing. Realized what the problem was
that 405 - _.05 degrees is what we wanted. So we
quickly whipped out our octal to decimal chart -
or decimal to octal - and went in and adjusted
it and got ourselves with a comet centered behind
the occulting disk of S052. And then I made a
_ maneuve# to drive it out to the right. After a
lot of flodging around there, we finally got it
right and ended with it at about 02:55 - we ended
up with the comet at - on the grid of minus 160,
plus 60.
363 03 43 45 CDR So I moved in with some maneuvers to put it down

on the minus i_0 zero line - minus lh0, 0. And
that didn't work worth a darn. So what we ended
up with was a minus 1 - minus 125 and a zero. So
I made another - Standby.
363 03 4h 42 CDR Okay, what I tried to do was then move from the
minus 125, zero location that I had arrived at
into a minus i00, zero. Well, I put in the right
commands, as far as I can tell, and I ended up
at minus 105 and plus 3, which was pretty nasty
area - error there, really. I put something in -
in Y and got a plus 3 out. So that was kind of
disturbing. I made that maneuver at 02:57 and a
half, so at - at 03:00 I made another maneuver to
drive - drive us out to minus lh0 and zero again,
in order to get some data and ended up at minus lh5
and minus i. So I finally g_ve up on that, and I
figured my error was about 5 in - in X. It was
going to be about 5 in _0, and in - in Y it was
going to be about 1 or 2 in Y, in every - in every
i 1791
thru - 3. So I Just plugged in a nnmher and got

us into the center.
363 03 26 13 CDR It looked like we had a few counts coming up on

S055. We were apparently getting a little bit of
it, but not - not very much. We Just had no more
time to mess with it. We were through. So I went
ahead and - and started taking the data. We
started the data take at about 03:02, or 03:05
and got all the data, as you can see from the
ground. And we finished with about 5 .MINUTES TIME
B]_4AINING. So Just to find out how things worked
out, I made a maneuver from the center back out to
the 12 - minus 120 X, Y-zero position. I did it
by Just moving out 120 in X to see where we came
out. So the - you know, I made the assumption I
was right in the Center. Well, I made that maneu-
ver and we ended up - that maneuver was at 03:31.
363 03 27 13 CDR We ended up at minus 120 and plus l0 Y. So you

could see we did have some error in there and I
don't know how it built up, but that's what we
ended up with, and that'll give you sort of a
ball-park figure of where we ended the data take.

REFERENCE 876. No problem there. Rolled and
1793
started to do 1 Bravo, and I got tangled up in

the 54 there and I wasted some frames. And I sort
of apologize for that. But - so I - There were
two things that were sort of anomalous, and the
one is that I started the nominal mode instead
of the M, S, O, S, 1. And I stopped that. Then
I went to M, S, O, S, l; got the normal - got the
17-minute exposure that you wanted. But when I
hit the START switch at the end, it started ad-
vancing again, so I stopped it real quick. And so
you will see some expenditure of frames on 54 that
were - probably weren't planned.
363 14 33 48 PLT VTR was recorded as planned. JOP 2 Charlie, step 6,

building block 28 was modified because I saw a

363 14 34 23 PLT And I - I got a 56 SINGLE FRAME, ..., 5 minutes, and

an 82B WAVE, SHORT, 5 minutes, across that surge.
I did about four or five mini-MARs. Then ROLLed

plus 0998 and got a SINGLE FRAME, i, 5 minutes ;
82_B WAVE, SHORT, 5 minutes, and did some mini-MARs
in a quiet region fairly well out of the - any of
the XUV activity. I was sort of torn between
going back into the heavy activity for that ref-

quiet area to give better comparative data with

down completed per checklist, ROLL minus 5400 and
powered down for unattended ops.

363 14 43 48 PLT This is the PLT with a footnote to the ATM debrief.
The surge was in the shape of a spike off the limb
and Just about at the limb, probably Just on the
disk side of the limb. It appeared to be 25 to
30 arc seconds in height. The 82B was pointed
approximately l0 arc seconds off of the limb as
opposed to 20 arc seconds, which was specified
for the cor - enehanced coronal studies. Let's
see, the lifetime of the surge was - Well, when I
1794
first noticed it was - it - it was brighter than

the rest of the disk, so I decided to go for it.
I took approximately 5-1/2 minutes of data there,
went to a quiet region at the second coordinates
given in the previous comments, and by the time I
had completed 5-1/2minutes of work there, the
surge had largely died out.
363 14 4_ 53 PLT I went back to the surge area after we were already
passing through 400 K and did one mini-MAR there
through the atmosphere. And at that time the
surge had aSmost completely disappeared.

CDR Okay.
SPT REG 1 - oh, no REG 2 - excuse me, it's REG 2.
CDR Give it 5 seconds. There she goes.
SPT Okay.
CDR All right, now. Possible LOW VENT FLOW if you've

got that overlap. MODE SkN.WCT to DELTA-P. And
monitor your cuff gage. We'll pressurize them by
going to DELTA-P.
SPT Right.
363 16 52 h2 SPT Okay, I'm up here at 3.5.

Is that on a previous page somewhere?
CDR Yes.
SPT Okay.
CDR Didn't see that check in there.
SPT Okay.
363 16 54 51 CDR Allright, we're on REG 1. Everything's finally

stabilized out. Checked our gage to make sure
we're 3.6 to 3.9. I'm reading for 3.85.
SPT I 'm re ading 3.7.

SPT No change.
CDR Okay, that means KEG 1 is still in the saddle.
363 16 55 14 CDR Now the integrity check.
CDR We're going to turn OFF FLOW select. Then on my

mark, we'll turn OFF PRESSURE select and leave
it off for a minute. And then go back to BOTH
and IVA and see what - what our loss has been in
suit pressure.
SPT Okay.
CDR Okay?
SPT IVA - or FLOW going OFF. Okay. Mine's OFF.

CDR Right.
%3 16 57 29 CDR Bill, how do you read?
FLT I read you 5 square; how me?
CDR Reading you pretty weak. I think you're going to

have to run the volume up a tad.
1801
PLT Okay, I'll go back in there. It'll take Just a

t minute.
CDR And we're finished with our integrity check.
PLT Okay.
SPT Okay, we're ready. You can come on up.
CDR Why don't you wait and do the volume thing at

another more convenient time, Bill?
PLT All righty.
SPT Let us press on here.
363 16 58 20 SPT Who's the first up, EV-I or 2?
CDR 1. That's why they have those nnm_ers. That's

the only reason why their numbers are - are that
way as to who goes out first.
SPT Well, no - who goes up first, I meant.
CDR Oh, up.
SPT Yes, into the airlock.
CDR EV-I.
SPT Okay. That's probably why they got those m_mhers.

(Laughter)
363 16 58 50 CDR Yes, see, Bill's going to go up in - into the lock

and - and stuff your hose for you.
SPT Yes.
PLT Okay, EV-1 - let's see, vehicle 02 reg check. I'm

talking to myself.
CDR Press on.
SPT How about that light? Do we leave that thing going?
CDR No.
363 16 59 06 PLT No, EV - EV-I and 2 LOW VENT - LOW VENT FLOW light
off, verify.
f
1802 .---_.
CDR They're verified.
PLT Okay. Just a minute here. Hey, this doesn't seem -
CDR I believe it's underneath, Ed.
SPT I Just found that out.
PLT I've done the vehicle 02 reg check.
PLT Okay, EV-1, pro - proceed to airlock module; enter

head first.
SPT Okay.
PLT Leaving EV-3 to restow EV-1 LSU in sphere as EV-1

transfers to airlock module. But there's one thing
here that - Just a second, I have not disconnected
a condensate hose yet.
363 17 00 19 SPT I think you do that - that's still coming up.
PLT Okay. Boy, that Just doesn't seem right.
SPT Leave that thing right to the very end.
PLT Okay, you - -
SPT As I recall last time, the ... EV-I or 2 did it.
PLT Okay. Just a second. Let me put my checklist up

here, so I don't lose it.
PLT Okay. Then you're number 16, right.
CDR No, he's number 7.
PLT All right, number 7. Lucky 7 in here and all that

good - I'm stowing your LSU. And let me check that
T025 occulting disk. Man, this is (laughter) some
operation.
363 17 01 07 SPT I tell you, we got a surface that - there's noth-

ing to grab onto here; you're really out of luck.
CDR Yes.
PLT Oh, I'm pulling you, aren't I?

1803
} SPT That's aSS right. I'm coming now. Go ahead.

Keep stuffing.
PLT That's what l'm good at, stuffing things.
CDR Yes, okay.
PLT Okay. Let's see if there are any more good words.
EV-3, l'm restowing EV-I LSU in sphere as EV-I
transfers. Okay, EV-I, rotate to EVA egress posi-
tion, feet toward the MDA. Move to OW - EV-2,
move to 0WS hatch. Okay.
363 17 01 53 SPT Okay. Okay, why don't you Just come on by me, and
then I'll rotate. Stuff as much of that in there
as you can.
PLT EV-3. Yes, Just a second. I'm trying to see what's

coming up next here. EV-3, manage EV-2 LSU; stow
in aft compartment.
CDR Let's see, I think we've found that I can handle

that myself without you having to get by Ed.
363 17 02 15 SPT Yes, why don't you Just move back after you've
stuffed that in there and - and we can work it
from here, I believe.
PLT All righty.
SPT Okay. That's good.
SPT That's very good.
CDR Now what about - It seemed to me, Bill, somewhere

in your checklist this condensate t-n_ inlet hose
has got to be disconnected. And I think you're
the one who does that, aren't you?
363 17 02 36 SPT I think you're supposed to do that right now.
PLT I was Just tasking about that, Jer.
CREW Okay.
SPT Isn't that Just about now on your checklist, Bill?
PLT Oh, okay. 0WS hatch closure. EV-2, inspect hatch

f seal for obstructions.
18o_
CDR Okay. i
PLT Yes, you're right. That doesn't say anything about

doing that.
363 17 02 49 CDR I think it happens earlier, Bill, because you're

the only guy without gloves that can do it.
PLT Yes.
CDR Seems tome Ed did it Just before - -
PLT That's what I - -
CDR - - you and I came up last time.
PLT - - sure seems that way.
363 17 02 57 SPT That's right. I took it off, and you guys stowed
it somewhere. Okay, Bill. I'll lay down flat
and you come on over and take if off.
PLT Okay. I'ii be danged if I see it, but I'm sure

it's in here.
SPT It was a little bit earlier, but not too much,

though.
PLT Well, that's beside the point. Let me Just come -

come back there and get it. Ah, there, it's a
write-in. It's in pencil, dang it. Oh, they
always got to change them. Well, let me put my
checklist over here somewhere. I can - I don't
want to lose it. I'll be right down, Jerry. Just
hold on a second.
363 17 03 32 CDR Why don't you Just let Ed hold it for you?
SPT Here -
PLT Well, l've got it right here now.

too, Ed.
CDR Yes.
SPT Okay, that's verified.
CDR Yes. That looks good.
- SPT Okay.
PLT Okay, now there's a note here: "Perform following

SOP flow check rapidly to conserve SOP 02." EV-I,
another note: "Possible slight cuff gage decrease
when SOP on." Approxi_tely 0.i of a psi. Okay,
again, EV-I on panel 317. SUS 1 02 SUPPLY valve,
CLOSE, and we'll get a tone and an SOP FLOW.
363 17 13 56 PLT And then you'll verify the medium pressure gage
at 27 to h5 on the SOP. And then we'll go back
to SUS 1 02 SUPPLY valve, OPEN. So I'll - I'll
reread those steps.
SPT I - I'll do them as you -
CDR All right. Let me verify the reading for you. It's
a lot easier than you struggling to do that.
SPT Okay, I can see them from here, too. Okay?
PLT Okay, Just very briefly, you're going to turn

SUB 1 02 SUPPLY valve to CLOSE.
SPT Okay.
1812 _-

PLT Okay, Jer, on panel 323 - -
SPT Let me see, where is your SOP? Can I see it from

here, Jer?
363 17 14 52 CDR It might be kind of hard. You'll have to go over

the back of me to see it. Or over to your left
about 90 more degrees.
CDR Okay, Bill, I don't think we have to read it all

again. I know what to do.
PLT Okay, you're Just checking for tone and SOP FLOW.
CDR Right.
363 17 15 1O PLT And a medium pressure gage.
CDR Okay, here goes the valve to - you ready, Ed?

PLT - - special procedures with us now.
CDR Let me look at your neck ring now, and we'll be

finished with you. Okay. Now I Just need to have
you roll.
SPT Which way, Jer?

4--
CDR This way's okay.
SPT Okay.
363 17 16 31 CDR Yes, your neck ring's nice and flush all the way
around.
SPT Okay. Let's pick it up with you. We'll start

with the neck ring.
CDR Allright.
SPT I pushed your visor a tad up . .. There you go.

Okay, roll. Okay, it looks pretty flush. Just
a slight elevation, but that's ali the way around,
and I think it's nominal. Yes, it looks good all
the way around.
CDR Okay.
SPT You can put your visor down. Let's take a look
at wrist rings.
CDR Mine' s locked in the detent.
SPT That 's good.
363 17 17 05 PLT Okay, now I'm going to reread that ...
SPT Now this one, locked in detent.
CDR Okay.
PLT Okay. Visually - you visually verify neck rings.

1815
CDR One, two - We're still at it, Bill.
PLT Okay, I'm sorry.
CDR That's locked.
SPT SOP - let's take a look there. Ckay. And it's

locked onthere.
CDR Okay, that's complete then, Bill.
SPT Okay, Bill, press on.
363 17 17 36 PLT Okay. So you visn-11y verified neck ring, SOP,

four PCU connectors, and sounds like you did a
little more.
CDR Right.
PLT Wrist rings, everything. Okay. Airlock module

depress. Now this is a generic title. EV- Warning:
EV-1 and 2, if cuff gage drops below 3.6 psig
during depress, LOCK COMPARTMENT DEPRESS VALVE,
CLOSE; and EV-3, forwardhatch PRESS EQUALIZATION
VALVE, OPEN.
363 17 18 07 PLT Okay, that's - that's one up. All right, now I'm
going real slow here because I've got to do a
nominal H-cage here pretty soon. Okay. Forward
hatch PRESS EQUALIZATION VALVE, CLOSEd. Coming
CLOSEd now. Okay, it's closed. EV-1 and 2, note:
if LOW VENT FLOW light comes on before depress
complete, FLOW select, EVA NORMAL. Okay. During
depress, cuff gage may read _.l max in DELTA-P.
All right. A note for me: if rate-of-climb
indicator exceeds 100 - Okay, let me - This thing's
turned the wrong way around.
PLT ... fix it Just where I can see it.
SPT Got a little bias in there, Bill.
PLT Yes. Okay, it's got - I've got about - I'm read-
ing about 60-foot-a-second rate of having -
foot per rate of climb now. Okay, so I want 160.
1816 P
363 17 19 _3 PLT If rate-of-climb indicator exceeds i00, or CAUTION

and WARNING alert, RAPID DELTA-P, PP02 LOW, or
CLUSTER PBw.sS LOW, tell EV-I to CLOSE LOCK COM-
PARTMENT DEPRESS valve. And I probably wouldn't
have to do that, but I would. Okay. EV-I, LOCK
COMPARTMENT - Okay, now, Just a second. I've got
to do a task, Jer. Tmmediately prior to lock com-
partment depress, DAS. Okay.
PLT Okay, we're going to do an INHIBIT CMG control

and a nominal H-CAGE. Stand by. 52010, 52010,
verified. ENTER, CT._.AB. 50000, 5000 verified.
INHIBIT CMG control. CT._.AR. 52023, 52023. Nomi-
nal H-CAGE, ENTER, now. Let me see what's happen-
ing here. Nothing. Looks like we're in good
shape. Well, ... you are, too.
363 17 21 06 SPT Move on a little bit and you'll see the TACS fire,
Bill.
PLT Yes, yes, yes. I haven't seen amy yet, but we

ought to see some any time.
SPT We will when we get to the deadband. Go ahead. -
PLT Okay, I though maybe I ought to maybe Just watch

that a second, but I guess it's no big deal. We
were in good shape. Okay, EV-I, panel 318: LOCK
COMPARTMENT DEPRESS VALVE, OPEN.
SPT That 'S going OPEN.
PLT I'll come up and look in the window and watch you.
SPT Got it going OPEN. And we're watching our cuff

gage. 4-1/2.
PLT All righty, I will read - -
363 17 21 50 SPT Cuff gage stable at 7 - 3.75.
PLT Okay, EV-3, panel 225, monitor PRESSURE FORWARD,

PLT Okay,OWS, FORWARDare stable.
CDR 3-112.
PLT Okay, and now we'll read the note I'm sure you are
aware of. EV-I, remove screen from depress valve
after ice buildup to complete depress.
SPT Yes, we'll give it a little bit longer here.
PLT And also, panel 316, monitor PRESSURE, LOCK to a

stabilized pressure of less than or equal 0.3 psi
before hatch opening.
363 17 22 58 SPT Okay, we've got about 60 percent of that covered

with ice so far. That's pretty fast from that
first half a drop of psi. Looks llke 60 percent
or so of that thing was covered.
363 17 23 ll CC Skylab, reading you loud and clear. Canaries and

Madrid 14 minutes.
CDR Roger, Story.
PLT Roger, Story. How do you read PLT?
CC Reading everybody loud and clear.
PLT Great. Okay, you're waiting for a 0.3.
SPT Yes, we're going down pretty slow. We've got a

fair amount of ice on there now.
363 17 23 31 PLT Yes, it'll start sublimating after a bit.
SPT We ought to have not any left on the outside.

Maybe l0 percent of the radius or so is still
open.
PLT Man, I never realized how much I used this ATM

foot grid.
SPT 3.75 and holding for EV-l. Pretty solid chunk of

ice, too.
CDR Sure is.

L
1818 _-.
SPT Hey, there you go. That string's a good idea -

you have on there. Should have done more of that,
Jer.
CDR Yes.
363 17 24 36 SPT If you put a couple of pieces of string under there

and let the ice collect on it, you can Just pull
that string up and the ice pops off and you're off
and running again.
CDR Bill? Pop it off with a wrist tether.

363 17 29 38 SPY Okay, that's in work. Let me move back a little

bit, Jer.
CDR Okay.
J- SPT So I can pull that retainer ... in the hatch.

Okay.
PLT And I got a couple of checks before egress.
363 17 29 54 SPT-EVA There it is - the great outdoors again.
CDR-EVA Right.
363 17 29 58 PLT Okay, engage the hold-open rod.
SPT-EVA It 's in work.
PLT Okay, we are coming up ca night.
SPY-EVA Okay. That's in there.
PLT Okay. When depress is complete, which it is,

MODE SELECT to ABSOLUTE with a slight cuff gage
decrease.
SPT-EVA 0kay.
PLT Okay.
f---.
182o-
363 17 B0 _5 SPT-EVA Looking at 3.85. Okay. And we're in ABSOLUTE.
CDR-EVA Okay, I was at 3.98 before it started. Now I'm

looking at 3.68.
PLT Okay.
CDR-EVA 3.6 even for - -
PLT There's a slight cuff gage decrease when you go

ABSOLUTE. It sounds like you were a little bit
high on the REGs there.
CDR-EVA Yes.
363 17 31 08 PLT DELTA-P, rather. Okay, PRESSURE select to BOTH.

Verify.
SPT-EVA Verified for EV-1.
CDR-EVA Verify, 2.
PLT FLOW select, EVA NORMAL.
SPT-EVA EVA NORMAL for EV-1.
PLT Okay. And then cuff gage stable, 3.6 to 3.9.

All lights off.
SPT-EVA Point 6 and no lights for EV-1.
CDR-EVA Okay, EV-2 's at EVA NORMAL. I got 3.7 and no

lights.
363 17 31 35 PLT Okay, and I verify that your VOX keying is satis-
factory. Sounds - sounds good. Okay. I will
monitor radiation with radiation survey meter
during EVA. Get that thing ready. Come on. Okay.
Okay. Now we're going to EVA 3 in a second.
EVA3.
PLT Okay, I have a note here for something to do

during the night pass.
SPT-EVA Yes, we can - we can get that when we get out there
and stabilize.
PLT We can get that now okay.

1821
363 17 32 3h PLT A]I right. Airlock module egress note on contam-

ination. EV-I and EV-2, cam- co_ent on any
observed dispersion patterns or any 0WS waste tank
vent plumes during EVA.
SPT-EVA ...
PLT EV-I, egress airlock module head first, face

toward foot restraints. EV-2, manage EV-I ISU.
CDR-EVA 0kay.
PLT Okay, and now - -
SPT-EVA Okay, and I'm in the foot restraints. Go ahead.
363 17 33 02 CDR-EVA Your right loot's not in, Ed.
SPT-EVA Yes, I'm getting it.
CDR-EVA There you go.
PLT Okay. Ingress VF ...
CDR-EVA Want to fix your umbilical at 9 feet, Ed.
PLT Right. That's correct. Ingress VF foot restraints

with left hand on - well, you know how to do
that. Clamp own S - LSU at 9 feet. And both of
you give me an EMU status check as soon as Ed's
in position there.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Okay. Status, Ed?
SPT-EVA 1 is 3.6 and no lights.
CDR-EVA EV-2, 3.7, no lights.
363 17 BB 36 PLT All right. Now, we've got about i minute le - in

day, left. And l'm going to look ahead here a
page Or so, and I suggest that - what I'm getting
ready to suggest is that we do the - the teleprinter
change 4, here, that has to do with doing exercise
that's done during the night.
1822
SPT-EVA All right. Press on.
PLT It is. It's the thing to do. Okay. H_m. Okay,

I'm - Let me read this entire procedure here,
before you start doing anything. Do - do the
following during night pass. EV-2, translate
to 230 and remove clip covering collector nearest
the FAS.
CDR-EVA Okay.
363 17 34 17 PLT Tether the clip and translate to the SEVA sail
material. That's SL minus 2, plus Y DA strut - -
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT - - near the ATM deployment reel, and retrieve

material. Okay. Then you'll translate to the
FAS, hand the material to EV-I and ingress air-
lock module. And EV-1, pass sail material sample
to EV-2. Okay, EV-2, attach material sample to
Velcro on the handrail, et cetera, et cetera.
363 17 34 50 PLT Okay. Then EV-I will go out and retrieve the
airlock module meteoroid cover sample, Velcroed,
50 by i0 inches - 50 inches by I0 inches, covering
the hatch hinge line, and pass to EV-2. Now this
is the thing they t-lked about last night.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT And then EV-2 will stow the material cover sample
in the airlock module. Okay. Sounds like this
is going to take a while. It's very quick to
read, but I'll go ahead and read it again.
CDR-EVA Bill, we don't have any lights out here, and the
switches are on. I think the breakers are
probably open.
PLT Okay. Let me check that. All right.
363 17 35 32 SPT-EVA Hey, I can see the comet.
PLT No kidding. That's a - -
SPT-EVA Yes. Straight out there. See it? Okay. I can

see the - the tail behind - -
1823
CDR-EVA Holy cow, yes.
SPT-EVA Yes, I can - turn the lights off, Bill.
CDR-EVA Oh, yes. Beautiful.
PLT Is that right, huh?
SPT-EVA You sure can.
PLT I'm going to open this window here, n,_her h - -
363 17 35 5h CC Skylab, we're enjoying your comments. We're

30 seconds from LOS here; about 28 minutes to
Carnarvon at 18:03. All your systems are good.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA Okay. We can see the tail - -
CDR-EVA Oh !
SPT-EVA - - which is antisolar, but I cannot see the spikes

f which showed up yesterday on that photography.
CDR-EVA Okay. It's Just going into the airglow now.
SPT-EVA Just going into the airglow.
CDR-EVA Very wide, broad tail. Not very long as well as -

as well as we can see.
SPT-EVA Well, we were not too well ad - dark adapted

there, Jer. We 'Ii have to make a note of that
next time.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA Okay, that tail, l'd guess - I was looking at

5 degrees or so when I first spotted it. Okay,
it 's into the airglow now.
363 17 36 32 SPT-EVA I suspect the reason you couldn't see it the other
day is because it was always in the airglow.
f--
182_ --
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA We got a better elongation now. I suspect you

ought to see that out the window. I looked at
that yes - looked for it yesterday out window 3
and couldn't see it.
PLT Yes, I look - Just looked out of window 4 and I

couldn't see it. I'ii try - -
SPT-EVA Okay. Let's press on. You can turn the lights
on.
PLT Okay, standby. I got all disoriented here trying

to get to the window. Okay.
363 17 37 06 CDR-EVA Yes, the tail was very broad. And - and, Ed, did
you see the yellow color?
SPT-EVA Yes, it was yellow.
CDR-EVA Very definitely yellow orange. And, let's see;

I think I would say the coma was more white or
blue white, because the yellow orange didn't start
until it was out a ways on the tail.
SPT-EVA It looked a little more intense - -
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA Maybe the - maybe it was Just the intensity of

the light which got to you, too.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA We'll take a better look at it next time.
PLT Well, darn it. Just a second here. I'll get

the lights.
SPT-EVA Maybe we can get them here, Bill. There's no

reason for you to run back up there - -
PLT No, no, I haven't got - -

F 1825
1 SPT-EVA ... mounting; we'll work it from here then.
363 17 37 42 PLT I got them now.
CDR-EVA Okay - -
SPT-EVA Look, Bill, if you would keep us abreast of when

we start to come up to sunset again - -
PLT Okay, will do.
SPT-EVA ...
PLT Go ahead, Jer. Do you want me to read that again,

Jet, or do you know what to do?
CDR-EVA I think I know what to do.
PLT Okay.
SPT-EVA Okay, I got your umbilical, Jer.
CDR-EVA All right.
PLT Okay, I'll get in here and monitor all these

good things - that I'm supposed to be watching.
SPT-EVA Hey, that really showed up clearly. That was a

surprise.
CDR-EVA Yes, it was.
363 17 38 22 SPT-EVA I first spotted it when I had my visor down, too.

I put the visor up ... - -
CDR-EVA Oh, yes. There was no doubt about it; you could
see it with the visor down. I sure could.
CDR-EVA Would you believe that clip is gone? Yes,

that clip 's gone.
PLT No kidding?
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA There's an antisolar clip that should be on there.

z8z6
CDR-_A I 'm looking.

1
SPT-_/A On the bottom side, there, Jer.
CDR-_A Yes, I know. It's gone. We must've bumped it

with a tethers or a umbilical or something.
PLT ...
SPT-EVA Okay, here - well -
363 17 39 13 CDR-EVA Bill you remember seeing it last time - whether

the clip was on there when you toQk the other
one off?
PLT No, I don't think it was. In fact, I was out

there - when I went out to help you on the way
out, I looked out there and I think I only saw
one clip.
SPT-EVA I can't believe it. I was able to look out that

STS window and see it on there the other day. Not
the other day, but after we put it on there.
CDR-EVA Yes, I've seen it on here. But it - it's not

here now.
363 17 39 40 SPT-EVA Well, okay. So the only thing is, it must have
disappeared sometime in the - the EV-2 - EVA-2.
CDR-EVA Yes, possibly an t_bilical rubbed over it and

knocked it off.
SPT-EVA That's the only time that it could have.
CDR-EVA Yes. Okay. Now let me go get the SEVA sail sample.
363 17 41 19 CDR-EVA Okay, Ed, can you reel me in?
SPT-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA I'm afraid to let go of this thing; there's no

tethers.
SPT-EVA Okay. We got you.
CDR-EVA Okay.
_k
182_
[ SPT-EVA ... rotating up there. Okay, now - -

CDR-EVA There's no tether on this rascal, so -
SPT-EVA All right, Jer. Just a minute.
CDR-EVA Don't sweat it. Okay, Just reel me in like a

fish. Easy does it.
SPT-EVA Yes. Okay, now hold on. I'Ii back you right
up here.
363 17 41 43 CDR-EVA l'd rather go in frontwards, Ed, where I can do

something.
SPT-EVA Well, hold on. I got to get - get you up here

where I can get ahold of you, though.
CDR-EVA All right, you take this now. l'm under control.
SPT-EVA Okay, hold on now. Okay, I - -
CDR-EVA Got it?
SPT-EVA I got it.
363 17 42 03 SPT-EVA This is the fellow Pete had so much trouble with,
huh? Tell Pete it was no problem gettimg it
off; • •• - -
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA ... in.
SPT-EVA Can't you shinny up that, Bill - or, Jerry?
CDR-EVA I Just want to get over to F-I here.
SPT-EVA Okay.
363 17 42 43 CDR-EVA Now it's my baby again, huh?
SPT-EVA Yes. Now, you got to be careful. It'll tend to

pull away from you. l've got it with two hands
right now. Now one. Let me come a little bit
out of the shoe with one - one foot, here.
CDR-EVA I got it.

1828 _- ,
..
SPT-EVA You got it? Okay. 1

CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, what does it say to do with it?
PLT Okay. EV-I will pass it to you, and you will

attach the material sample to Velcro on the hand-
rail. Attach the material sample to Velcro on a
handrail.
CDR-EVA It 'ii never stay.
PLT Okay.
SPT-EVA I think you better tuck it behind something real

well.
CDR-EVA You better believe it.
363 17 _3 26 PLT You want to fit on one of those zipper bags?
SPT-EVA There's a good idea.
CDR-EVA Well, l'm afraid we'll damage it. What I'm going
to try to do is Velcro it around one of those
handrails in the same way that I found it Velcroed
around the - the strut.
SPT-EVA There you go; that's a good idea.
CDR-EVA And m-ke use of all that Velcro.
SPT-EVA Yes.
363 17 h4 25 CDR-EVA Okay. Now, that's not going anywhere.
SPT-EVA Very good.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA Okay, Bill, press on.
PLT EV-1, retrieve the AM meteoroid cover sample,

Velcroed, 50 inch by l0 inch, covering the hatch
hinge line, and pass to EV-2.
SPT-EVA How long did they say it was, 50 inches?

f.. 1829
PLT That's what it says here; that's the way I'm

reading it. It says Velcroed, 50 inch by i0 inch,
covering - excuse me, - the Velcro section,
50 inch by i0 inches, covering the hatch hinge
lines.
SPT-EVA We may have to move this in a little bit, Jet.
B6B 17 h5 03 PLT Yes, you may have to p,_11 the hold-open rod out,
even.
SPT-EVA Yes, I did. Can you push that a little - my

_-,hilical? C_ay?
CDR-EVA Don't worry about a thing, Ed; I won't lock the

hatch.
363 17 45 17 SPT-EVA Okay. I see the one they're talking about.
SPT-EVA Okay, Jer, open the hatch.
CDR-EVA I got - I got it.
SPT-EVA Okay. That you may want to tuck into a - the

zipper. They said turn it up and feel if the
Sun ... warming - You know I really can't tell
the - a heck of a lot of difference.
CDR-EVA I can't either.
SPT-EVA l'm going to question them on that one.
363 17 _6 16 CDR-EVA It looks like it's a uniform color.
SPT-EVA It sure does. 50 inches. Yes, mnybe that was

50 inches.
CDR-EVA Yes, that's about 50.
SPT-EVA Okay.
CDI_-EVA Okay, better latch that hatch open.
SPT-EVA Hold on, let's take - Just a minute, Jer. Let

me tske a look at the - what else they've got
here. They've got another little patch in the
corner here. Okay, that all looks uniform.
1830 _-_
363 17 46 59 CDR-EVA Which corner is that patch in?
SPT-EVA There's another corner - right up here at the

plus axis - -
CDR-EVA At the Sun end of the hatch?
SPT-EVA Plus axis, yes. Towards the MDA end.
SPT ... - That should actually see the Sun.

Barely.
CDR-EVA _ay, we'll talk to them when the_ come up again.
SPT-EVA Okay, let's get that hold-open rod squared away.
SPT-EVA There's a little latch up on top there which this

snaps into also.
CDR-EVA Okay. Go ahead, Bill.
PLT Okay, you got it?
CDR-EVA
Yes.
363 17 47 49 PLT All right, good. Let me see, EV-2, stow the
material cover sample in the airlock module - -
CDR-EVA Bill, I've already done that.
PLT Okay. I am turning the page, stand by. The next

thing coming up is S020 ops.
CDR-EVA Okay, let's get it out here.
PLT Unstow - this is EV-2. Unstow S020, verify mount-

ing bracket is f_111y open.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Okay, place in - I have some more things here as

soon as you do that.
%3 17 49 18 CDR-EVA Okay, I've got it unstowed and tethered to me.
PLT Okay, verify mounting bracket is fully opened.
CDR-EVA It is.
183i
PLT Place VACUUM VALVE/S_ CONTROL to VENT.
CDR-EVA Stand by.
PLT Allow 15 seconds to vent.
363 17 49 41 CDR-EVA Okay, it's in VENT.
PLT Okay.
363 17 49 57 CDR-EVA Okay, there's our 15 seconds.
PLT Verify f_]m advance knob at S, Sierra, for stowage.
CDR-EVA That's verified.
PLT Place VACUUM VALVE/SHUTTER CONTROL to SHB'I'_'_OPEN.
363 17 50 14 CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Now there's a step here, uncover boresighter,

that's been changed out.
p CDR-EVA It's already been done. It was done at the prep.
PLT All right ; good. Pass S020 to EV-1.
363 17 50 26 CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA Tell you what, before you let go of it, let me

put this tether on it.
CDR-EVA 0kay. I 've got a tether, too ; so we' re in good

shape.
SPT-EVA It's got another - -
CDR-EVA It's got a tether on it, too.
SPT-EVA Wait, I don't have it yet.
CDR-EVA Okay, I've got it tethered.
SPT-EVA Oh, okay. I'm sorry, Jet.
CDR-EVA When you've got yours on, I'll take mine off.
1832
SPT-EVA Okay. I've got my on.
CDR-EVA Ok_,. And let me -
SPT-EVA You don't need this - this tether on here.
CDR-EVA All right, let's put it back in there then.
SPT-EVA Okay, I 've got S020.
CDR-EVA Wait a minute, I've got to untether first.
SPT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay. Hand me the extra wrist tether, and I'll

put it away. I got it.
SPT-EVA Okay. Read on, Bill.
363 17 51 21 PLT Tether S020 and mount it on the far side of ATM
truss with D-1 handrail, Just inside the start
of the handrail, and tighten the clamp. And you
will - -
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT - - and you will see that there is only a certain

latitude of freedom you have; you can't put it
in too close.
SPT-EVA Also don't have too much in the way of body

stabilization when you're doing this, do you?
PLT No, I think I had to come out of the foot restraints -

at least out Of one of them.
363 17 53 17 SPT-EVA Okay, S020 is ca there and it's not going to go

anywhere.
PLT Okay. I got a few more words we can - we do now.

Okay, you got the tether off, I assume.
SPT-EVA I will in a moment.
PLT And you do have the clamp tightened down?
SPT-EVA Clamp is tight.

_. 1833
363 17 53 35 PLT Okay.
SPT-EVA Oksy, go ahead, Bill.
PLT Remove the tether; you have. Okay, now, the

next step - and then we'll have to stop - verify
that bracket ball Joint is free enough to _llow
experiment pointing. And the way I would do that
is have it tight enough so that it'll hold a
position when you sort of push it around, but
loose enough so that you can make an a_ustment.
363 17 5_ 00 PLT And then don't - don't tighten it _own as per

procedure because it - you know what happened to
me the other day - I got the thing all adjusted
and then started to screw it dow_ and tighten
on the b_11 Joint and then moved the whole rack.
I moved the whole canister. So I would suggest
that - course you can do it any way you want to.
SPT-EVA Yes. Let me Just look - see if my tether here
first - back on to me.
363 17 5_ 30 CDR-EVA Why couldn't we go ahead and get $201 out - or

T025 out as well?
PLT l'm - l'm waiting - l'm Just waiting for him to

finish that. I'ii go ahead and start reading the
T025.
SPT-EVA Yes, why don't you do that so Jerry can get going
on that?
PLT Okay. Jer, verify clamp is open. T025 - Stand by.

T025 - _ay. EV-2, unstow T025 assembly and pass
to EV-I.
363 17 55 03 CDR-EVA Okay, that's in work.
PLT And, Ed, as soon as you receive the T025, I have

some words for you.
SPT-EVA Okay. Go ahead.
PLT Verify the clamp is open, the finger is deployed.

It is. It should be - still deployed. And position
the clamp c_ the ATM truss halfway to or beyond
the first section of D-I handrail. Secure the
clamp by turning top knob clockwise until tight.
Then turn lower knob counterclockwise until tight.
183h _-
363 17 56 ll SPT-EVA Okay, you may have to give me those words again.
On the procedure.
PLT I thought I'd - Just press on, and then ask me

a question when the time comes.
SPT-EVA 0kay.
CDR-EVA Oh, boy. Somebody overrestrained T025. That

little bitty bit then is going to be murder to
undo.
SPT-EVA Down there at the base, huh?
363 17 56 56 CDR-EVA Yes, that was a neat little idea, but whoever
did it didn't think about gloves.
PLT I'm afraid that was me, Jer.
CDR-EVA There we go.
SPT-EVA Hey!
PLT Sorry about that.
CDR-EVA I was afraid we'd about had it.
363 17 57 h7 CDR-EVA Okay, Ed, it's coming out.
SPT-EVA 0k_y.
PLT Okay, I'll read the words again, Ed. Verify

cls_p is open, finger deployed, then position the
clamp on the airlock - or excuse me, on the ATM
truss.
SPT-EVA Just a minute, Bill. Hold on, let me get a hold

of it first. You are tethered, are you not - -
CDR-EVA Yes.
363 17 58 16 SPT-EVA Let me - you'll rotate it another 90 degrees. If

I can get access to that tether attach point.
SPT-EVA Okay, now unhook you here.
CDR-EVA Okay. Got it?

_ 1835
363 17 58 4_ SPT-EVA Okay, now one step at a time, Bill.
PLT Verify clamp is open. You know how that thing

moves out.
SPT-EVA Yes, it's open.
PLT And the finger is deployed - that's the little - -
SPT-EVA That's deployed.
363 17 59 01 PLT Yes. And position clamp on the ATMtruss. I'll

wait until you get out there.
SPT-EVA Okay. Give myself a little more working room with

the tether. Okay. Now let's see, this boom goes
underneath, does it not, as you're looking at it,
Bill?
PLT That's correct.
363 17 59 36 PLT So you put - everything is sort of turned upside

down, but the shutter speed adjust knob is sort
of on the top as you view it from the foot restraints.
If that helps any. You can sort - -
SPT-EVA Yes.
PLT - - use the cameras as an orientation device.
SPT-EVA Yes, okay. I got the boom pointed towards sunward,

and I got the little finger in there. Now I got
to slip over the top and m-ke that connection around
the back.
PLT That's right. That's correct.
363 18 00 56 SPT-EVA There's a lot of - a lot of threads here.
PLT Yes, it makes - You having trouble putting the

thing around there?
SPT-EVA No, I got it around there, l'm Just -
PLT Yes, okay. Secure clamp -
363 18 01 07 SPT-EVA Yes, it's Just been taking a lot of - it's got a
lot of fine threads here and a lot of turns on
these things.
1836 ___
PLT That's correct. That's right. It takes patience.

And the worda are, secure the clamp by turning the
top knob clockwise until tight, and then turn the
lower knob counterclockwise until tight.
SPT-EVA All right. That's what I'm doing. Now let me

make sure my - that the finger is all the way
against there.
PLT And, Jer, you can be getting the filter case.
CDR-EVA Okay.
363 18 03 03 SPT-EVA They got some beautiful thunderstorms down there.

Okay.
SPT-EVA Okay, that's oa there. And we're coming up with

the - coming up on the lock.
PLT Okay.
363 18 03 36 CC Skylab, we're reading you loud and clear. Carnarvon

and Honeysuckle for 14 minutes.
SPT-EVA Roger, Story. Okay, that's locked. Go ahead,

Bill. Read on.
PLT Okay. Then you have secured the clamp by turning

the top knob clockwise and then the lower knob
counterclockwise.
SPT-EVA Right.
PLT EV-2, unstow T025 filter case and pass to EV-1.
363 18 03 56 CDR-EVA Okay, it's already stowed and attached to the

temporary restraint.
PLT Okay, install - This is for EV-1 - Install filter

holder Alfa to the Alfa-1 position.
SPT-EVA Okay, Just stand by until I get back in the foot

restraints here.
CDR-EVA Okay, there it is, and safety tethered.
SPT-EVA Very good.

_. 1837
363 18 0h 28 PLT Okay, and he's getting Alfa I out.
SPT-EVA Just a minute here, Bill. Let me make sure I

understand the orientation here.
CDR-EVA That looks pretty good.
SPT-EVA Yes. Okay, get the tether put away and we'll be
all set to go.
CDR-EVA How much more nighttime, Bill?
363 18 04 46 PLT 6-1/2 minutes.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Boy, you're doing real good work. Real good work.
Looks like we've taken full advantage of that
night pass.
363 18 05 00 CDR-EVA Want a tether for that, Ed?
SPT-EVA I'll tell you what. There's no way to do it, Jet.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA You can't tether it. That's the fault - that's

the drawback of this thing - you've got to put
the only tether attach point in, that you have.
CDR-EVA If you put it in the other way?
SPT-EVA Never tried it the other way. Okay, let's see.

Alfa-i position and let me check something.
Sometimes Alfa's not always in the Alfa bag.
Yes, that's Alfa. Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay, go ahead.
PLT All right, l'm looking here and I can't see

that we can do anything else, Jer.
SPT-EVA Okay, what about 201?
CDR-EVA Want me to get out that - get that out and point
it plus X?
PLT It goes - it's approximately the same place as

the T025.
1838
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA Oh, okay.
363 18 06 15 PLT Okay. Now let me read ahead what you will be
doing at sunrise.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Okay, when we get ready for data take in an 0

alignment which we will be as soon as we come up
to Sun, I'm going to do a C&G control enable, DAS
entry which holds us for about S0201 and T025.
And you will adjust the S020 until the coarse,
small, solar image is seen in the boreslghter and
continue adjustments until the fine, large, solar
image is visible on the boreslghter.
363 18 06 _8 PLT I think you know more about this than I do, Ed.
You know what - you know what the picture is
supposed to look like there.
SPT-EVA That 's right.
PLT The only thing that you have to do is - once you

get satisfied with the picture, let me know
what - how - what the alignment is in terms of the
little numbers there, that octal grid. Okay?
PLT Now, for the T025 it's exactly the same thing.
You're going to - except you instead of sort of
pushing it with your hands, you're going to align
by turning the X and Y knobs.
SPT-EVA Tell you what we do, let's get S020 up and running
first because that's the one that's got the long
exposures. Then we'll start working T025.
PLT Okay, now, I would like to ask one question. The -

you told me last night on this exposure protocol
that these ones that are written in here are the
ones that we want to take.
SPT-EVA Right.
PLT All right, and - -
363 18 07 38 SPT-EVA Start off with frame number 5 with your highest
priority, which I believe is -
1839
PLT - - 45 minutes.
SPT-EVA Right.
CDR-EVA Okay, Ed. I wonder - would it be any help for me

to get in that - those restraints and hold you
while you fiddle with the experiment?
SPT-EVA It may well, Jer. I was Just thinking about that

because it looks as though I'm - even though I've
grown little, I'm still about a foot too short
to make my head over there.
363 18 08 05 CDR-EVA Uh-huh.
CDR-EVA Well, I could hold you like a sausage - a loaf of

bread under my arm, you know, and you could Just
kind of go where you wanted. (Laughter)
363 18 08 lh SPT-EVA All right. We'll give it a go. Let me - -
CDR-EVA All right.
_ SPT-EVA - - let me get out of the restraints here and get

up in approximately the right position. MY, that
blue is a pretty blue.
CDR-EVA Sure is.
SPT-EVA *** think now, Bill?
PLT 2-1/2 minutes.
SPT-EVA Okay, and you know what we 're over? Oh, you
don't have the slider out, do you?
PLT No, I don't.
CDR-EVA We're coming up over the tip of Australia and

headed for New Zealand. We'll be over New Zealand
in l0 minutes.
SPT-EVA Okay, I was Just looking at the thunderstorms

here -
363 18 09 lO SPT-EVA Notice when one - one ... goes off, tends to
propagate - there's a whole chain of them that
go off?
18_o
PLT Yes, I noticed that. It's very similar to the

solar flare time-lapse photographs we've seen.
SPT-EVA ***
CDR-EVA Purdy, purdy [sic].
363 18 09 38 SPT-EVA That it is. I
CDR-EVA Oooh |
PLT How about an _gU check?
CDR-EVA Yes, why not?
SPT-EVA 3.6 and no lights for EV-1.
CDR-EVA 3.7 no lights, EV-2.
PLT Good.
SPT-EVA *** star that is, that's rising right there.

That's almost the same intensity as the comet,
isn't it?
CDR-EVA Yes. It's a pretty bright star.
SPT-EVA Jerry, there's a star right above the horizon

now, Just about where the Sun's going to be coming
up.
CDR-EVA Could that be Mercury?
SPT-EVA About 20 degrees - or, no about 15 degrees right

now. Rising pretty fast. And it's about the
same intensity visually as the comet. If anything,
it might even be a tad dimmer.
363 18 lO B5 CDR-EVA Could it be Mercury?
363 18 l0 38 CC We're working on the answer to that, Skylab.
CDR-EVA I think it's about - only about 5 degrees up off

there now.
SPT-EVA It's only one finger above the airglow. Okay,

there' s the Sun.
__ 18hi
SPT-EVA Okay, let's start working on the S020.
CDR-EVA ...
PLT Okay, I'm going to -
SPT-EVA I'm beginning to get my - my head up here.
CDR-EVA All right. How's that?
363 18 ll 03 SPT-EVA ...
SPT-EVA I'll tell you what, I'm going to have to try and
sight it in coarsely without the - without using
their sighter to turn them.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA ... tighten.
CDR-EVA I got you by the knee here.
PLT Okay, we're on CMG control, solar inertial.
SPT-EVA Okay, Jer, now let me come back down here - -
CDR-EVA All right.
SPT-EVA - - and ... we got T025 right in there now. I

can't get my head over far enough to see the _-rn
thing.
CDR-EVA Oh-hum.
SPT-EVA Oh, back knob is hitting D-7. I'm going to have

to loosen this up and move it up a little bit.
Yes, dang it.
363 18 12 05 CDR-EVA Yes, I see what you're doing.
SPT-EVA See - D-7, that - -
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA - - that - that knob is - hampering me from

centering the small image.
SPT-EVA ... up a little. Tighten her up again.

1842
SPT-EVA Get it tight.
SPT-EVA Now let me - let go of my legs again.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA Back up in here.

!
J
PLT Story, are you looking at the OUTER GIMBAL angle
on glmbal 3?
363 18 12 42 CC Yes, we are, Bill.

4--
PLT Yes, I Just came out of nominal H-CAGE. Should

I do another nominal H-CAGE, Story?
CC Stand by 1.
363 18 13 17 CC Stand by 1 on that cage, Bill.
CDR-EVA Watch your head, Ed?
SPT-EVA Yes.
PLT I am standing by.
CDR-EVA Just don't rear back to adm4re your work, or

you're liable to knock the camera off of T025.
SPT-EVA Okay, tbRn_ you.
PLT Doggone, we - we got momentum out the gazoo, but

we got a gimbal on the stop. And it's the very
thing that Ed was talking about.
363 18 13 h0 CC We don't think we need the CAGE right now, Bill.
PLT Beautiful, th_n_ you.
CC Okay, while l've got you, l've got a c_,ent on

when to start that $201 maneuver.
PLT Go ahead, Story; l'm ready to copy.
CC Okay. Don't start it prior to 25 minutes of

night r_maining on your next nightside pass.
That'll save us a few TACS by not exposing the
vehicle to its gravity gradients for as long as
we need to.
F_ 1843
PLT Roger; I'ii state the contrapositive, you want to

start after 25 minutes.
CDR-EVA Excuse me.
363 18 14 22 SPT-EVA I got it centered, I think, pretty well, but the

trouble is l'm afraid l'm going do Just what Bill
said.
363 18 14 29 CDR-EVA Yes, you are. I wouldn't fool with it, Ed.
SPT-EVA Yes, I think you're right.
PLT If you got it close - if it's well within the

square, l'd leave it there.
SPT-EVA Hold on.
CC That' s correct, Bill.
SPT-EVA Roger.
CDR-EVA I can see it clear back here. Okay.
SPT-EVA Okay. *** when it damps out what it does.
SPT-EVA Okay, I guess the words are, you want the - the
larger faint circles inside the square.
CDR-EVA Right.
SPT-EVA Well, that it is.
CDR-EVA Good show.
SPT-EVA And when it stabilizes out I'll give you a number.

Unfortunately, every time we get the exposure
going we're going to have ourselves a - a tran-
sient for a little while.
SPT-EVA 0kay, Bill, go ahead with the S020 ....
PLT All right. You got 8020 aligned?
/
18_h
PLT Let's see here now, I want to set my timer here

for h5 minutes.
CDR-EVA That'll do it, Ed.
363 18 15 26 SPT-EVA Yes, okay, whenyou get the timer set and give me
a stand, I'ii go from storage to frame 5.
363 18 15 32 PLT That's correct.
SPT-EVA 0k%V, standing by for your mark.
PLT Okay, stand by ......
363 18 15 37 PLT MARK. And your - -
SPT-EVA There we are.
PLT For 5.
PLT 45-minute exposure is underway.
PLT All right. Now, Just -
SPT-EVA Let me give you the numbers when it damps out

here.
PLT Okay.
PLT Okay, now, Jet, I would like for you to keep me

honest about something here.
CDR-EVA Go ahead.
PLT We have this temperature measurement to take.
CDR-EVA Yes.
PLT And I'm about to turn the page from - I'll be

going back to S020. Anyway, remind me that we
want to take this temperature measurement.
CDR-EVA Yes. On the next night pass. Right after sunset.
PLT Okay. It says do the following procedures during

last daylight pass on a noninterference basis.
CDR-EVA On a daylight pass?

18_5
PLT That's what it says.
CDR-EVA Okay.
363 18 16 30 PLT Anyway, how ab - if - if I start giving you the

ingress procedures, yank my chain on that.
CDR-EVA Okay, I'll try to remember it.
PLT Okay.
SPT-EVA Okay, I 'ii give you a number here.
CDR-EVA You might go back to ingress there, Bill, and

Just write a note that says, "Did you do the
temperature measurements?"
PLT Yes. Okay, let me get - I can do that in a

minute. I will.
CDR-EVA Okay.
363 18 16 48 PLT Let me get Ed's numbers here.
f 363 18 16 51 SPT-EVA 0kay, on the vertical. The bottom is on the

minus 2, the top is on plus 4. That's the
large disk.
PLT Okay, that's the vertical.
SPT-EVA And in left/right, we're - at Just about - Just

about centered - looks like 3 and 3.
CDR-EVA Here comes New Zealand.
SPT-EVA 3 and 3, so we're centered p_etty well left/right

and only slightly off in vertical.
PLT 0kay, now let me get you - -
CC Skylab, we're 30 seconds to LOS, about 38 minutes

to Bermuda at 18:52° All your systems are looking
good.
363 18 17 30 SPT-EVA Thank you, Story.
PLT Thank you, Story.
PLT Okay, now let me get you cooking on T025 - -

18h6
CC And, Bill, those gimbal angles you're looking at,

whenever you enable CMG control %until the attitude
becomes stable, you'll probably see some diver-
sions like that.
PLT Okay, thank you a lot for that information.
SPT-EVA Okay, what am I hitting up against the back ...

PLT Okay - -
CDR-EVA That's Just the boom; you're okay.
363 18 17 53 PLT Okay, now, Ed, comes another hard thing. We got
T020 - S020 cooking.
SPT-EVA Okay. Go ahead.
CDR-EVA You want your feet over here, Ed, or where?
SPT-EVA Yes, I want them back; I don't want to be going

where I'm going.
CDR-EVA Oh, okay.
363 18 18 0h PLT Okay, now- -
SPT-EVA I got it.
PLT - - let me read some instructions here again.
SPT-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA Hang on Just a minute, Bill. We're busy adJustin_

Ed's position here.
PLT Okay....
CDR-EVA Now, if you roll left, Ed, you got it made.
SPT-EVA T025 - looks like I got to rotate this way, Jer.
363 18 18 20 CDR-EVA Yes, you're in good shape.
SPT-EVA All right. Now, out to here. I can probably

use this as a -
CDR-EVA How' s that?

18b,7
SPT-EVA Well, I got to move my stuff to my left to get

my head behind here to see the - There we go.
CDR-EVA All right. Okay, Bill.
PLT Okay, Just got through making my note to myself

on that temperature measurement.
CDR-EVA Okay, we're - ... - Ed's starting to align 25,

now.
PLT Okay, good. And you know it's very easy to Jiggle
that S020, so Just be extra special careful.
SPT-EVA You're so right.
CDR-EVA I'll keep an eye on her.
363 18 19 03 PLT Okay, I'll read the words. Image will appear red
on edge of filter and orange in center. And if
you can Just make the little circle - make a sma -
make a sort of a small circle there with a red
band on the outside, around the circumference,
and you got it.
CDR-EVA Can you see through the camera, Ed?
SPT-EVA Yes, I sure can; I'm getting there.
CDR-EVA Good show.
PLT Great.
SPT-EVA That darn mirror didn't pop on it this time.

Just a-tweaking it in, one axis at a time;
perturbation-type thing here.
CDR-EVA For the Earth observations guys, New Zealand was

clouded over. 0nly a very - southernmost tip of
South Island was open.
363 18 20 16 SPT-EVA Okay, let's hear their words on that again, Bill.
PLT Okay, align experiment by turning X and Y knobs

until Sun image is located in center of occulting
disk. Image will appear red on the edge of the
filter and orange in the center. So, as you start
bringing the Sun in, you come through some red
filter material and then - -
1848
SPT-EVA 0kay.
PLT - - you start eliminating the - In the center of

it, it' ll turn orange.
SPT-EVA I'm with you. The problem here is that you can
move your head around and also get that same effect.
PLT Yes.
SPT-EVA This camera here is loose. I guess I'm Just going

to have to see the best I can and try to take the
pictures without touching it.
363 18 21 04 CDR-EVA And the lens is loose on the camera for some reason.
SPT-EVA Yes. Any time I move my head up there, I bump

it. Let me move my feet - Just let go of mine,
J_r.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA Let's see, where am I hitting my left -
CDR-EVA Your left foot's up against F-15, the tree there.
SPT-EVA Okay, I guess I can't do any better than that.

Here, I'll - -
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA - - press on here.
363 18 21 3_ PLT Okay, I'm Just standing by here, and you let me
know when you want some more words. Take a quick
check on the gimbal angles here. Looking in
good shape now. Man, I don't understand that.
Those things were - One of them was right - all
the way on the stop.
SPT-EVA INNER or OUTER?
PLT OUTER. Now, it's happy as a clam. It's up

around 20 percent.
SPT-EVA Figure the momentum was such that it was headed

in the right direction.
18h9
PLT Oh, yes; I see what you mean. I hadn't thought

about that.
SPT-EVA Well, it wasn't driven on a stop. It Just happened

to start there.
PLT Yes.
SPT-EVA Well - Boy, this is really a - to get the thing

completelycenteredand then to get the orange-
363 18 22 32 PLT Well, look - it's not a perfect image, if I did

it right. But as long as you got a red circle -
excuse me - an orange circle, then you're in
pretty good shape.
CDR-EVA I wouldn't waste too much time on it, Ed.
SPT-EVA Yes, let - let me get back to where I was with

it then. I at least want to _ke sure we're
doing it right, or it's not worth doing.
PLT Well, that's right. I - I fussed with that the

first day, and then somebody from the ground
said what he's seeing is right.
363 18 23 08 CDR-EVA How's your position, Ed? Is it okay?
SPT-EVA Yes, it's okay.
SPT-EVA Okay, we're getting down in there now.
SPT-EVA Okay, now. Okay, that 's good - that 's good.
Now I Just don't want to bump it.
CDR-EVA Now you want to get your - your remote control

cable there off the right side.
SPT-EVA Oh, boy, I should have done that previously.

I got to get ... - -
363 18 23 56 CDR-EVA It should be all right. Just pull that tape

gently until you got it all in your hand. There
you go. Now, where do you want to go?
SPT-EVA Well - -
CDR-EVA Want to stay up there and try to - -

1850
SPT-EVA - - I got to stay up here to make those adjust-

ments on the timer.
CDR-EVA Okay, I'm going to let go of you for a second

and take a look at S020. Well, it's still fine.
SPT-EVA Tell you what. Can you reach this?
CDR-EVA Sure can.
SPT-EVA Why don't you be the operator of the off/on and

I'll be the operator of this.
363 18 24 32 CDR-EVA Oh, very well.
SPT-EVA Okay, read on for T025.
PLT Okay, Just doing a little reading on my own here

on the CMG - -
SPT-EVA That way, I won't have to keep moving around and

bumping this thing, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT 0k_y. Stand by 1. Okay. Notes. okay, f-stop's

at 2 for all exposures and so forth, and they
got filter A-1 in position.
CDR-EVA Right, it 's in position.
PLT Okay, the first frame we want is a 1/125.
SPT-EVA Okay, hold on. Boy, look at that camera moving.
363 18 25 14 CDR-EVA Hey, wait a minute. That knob's not tight enough.
SPT-EVA Is that the problem?
CDR-EVA Yes. Let me reach it.
SPT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA It's nice to work with gear that has got some
precision to it. This aspect of the operation
is kind of nice.
CDR-EVA Charlie 's in.
PLT Charlie 1.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT Okay, we need a four - if you'll put it on TIME,

.... we need a lh-secondexposure. And let me know
when you're ready.
CDR-EVA All right.
SPT-EVA Okay, it's set there. Let's see if it's oscil-

lating at all.
SPT-EVA ...
CDR-EVA It looks pretty quiet.
CDR-EVA Okay, let' s go.
PLT Okay, stand by -
363 18 52 12 PLT MARK.
PLT And we are counting.
CDR-EVA All right.

1874
PLT Stand by -
4
363 18 52 26 PLT MARK.
CDR-EVA Okay, how's S020 doing?
PLT We got 8 minutes to go. I'm watching it.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Okay, we have a 2-second one if you'll -
CDR-EVA I 'm ready.
PLT Okay. Stand by -
363 18 52 37 PLT MARK.
363 18 52 39 PLT MARK.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Okay, we need a 1/h second, 1 over 4. And you can

get that.
CDR-EVA All right.
SPT-EVA Yes, okay, Just a minute here.
363 18 52 49 CC Skylab, we've reading you loud and clear through

Bermuda for l0 minutes.
CDR-EVA Roger, Story.
SPT-EVA I guess the way they made this - let me c_ne back
down there. I Just want to look at something here.
Oh, okay. I see what they did. Okay, 1/4.
PLT Roger.
SPT-EVA All right. They're getting good spectral infor-

mation and good time resolution, too, and in
spatial. These guys are sharp.
CDR-EVA Here we go. Stand by -
363 18 53 20 CDR-EVA OPEN and CLOSEd. What's next?

1875
PLT All right, gentlemen, that's it for T025 now.
CDR-EVA Good show.
SPT-EVA I tell you, that's going to be some good infor-

mation right there.
CDR-EVA How much more nighttime we got - or ds_time?
PLT We got l_ more minutes.
CDR-EVA All right, let me get inside - -
SPT-EVA Hold on.
CDR-EVA - - hand in T025, and then I'll get some movies.
363 18 5B 38 SPT-EVA Stand by. Let's get the filter out of here.
CDR-EVA All right.
PLT Okay, attach re - you go ahead and press on with

what you are doing there, Ed. I am going to read
some stuff - -
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT - - and you can Just sort of listen with one ear.
Attach remote control cable to side of canister,
remove T025 assembly from strut and pass to EV-2.
Pass T025 filter case to EV-2.
363 18 54 00 CC Bill, Houston.
PLT Go ahead, Story.
CC Bill, we got a couple of REG ADJUSTs for you on

panel 206.
SPT-EVA ... now.
CDR-EVA Oops, stay back out of the way. Or was that you
Just drifting? "
PLT Okay, Story. Say it again, please.

1876
363 18 5h 22 CC Got a couple of REG ADJUSTS for you. Rotate

counterclockwise - rotate clockwise 20 degrees,
both BUS 1 an_ BUS 2.
PLT Clockwise, 20 degrees, both REG ADJUST, BUS 1 and

BUS 2.
CC That's affirm. It'll carry a little more load on

the airlock module by doing that.
363 18 54 hl SPT-EVA Okay, Jer, maybe you can reach out here and get
these filters while I am working Qn - -
CDR-EVA Sure can.
SPT-EVA Okay. Goldang it.
CDR-EVA I better be able tot l'm the guy that put them in
there.
SPT-EVA I was thinking that. (Laughter)
PLT And we're coming right along, Story, we Just fin-

ished T025, and we have about 5 minutes to go on
the 45-minute exposure on S020.
CC Beautiful, Bill.
SPY-EVA Okay.
CC Okay, and the REG ADJUST looks good, Bill.
PLT Thank you.
363 18 55 31 SPY-EVA And that alignment still looks good at the end
of it.
CDR-EVA Good.
SPY-EVA Story, I think we had good alignment all the way

through the T025 operation. Yes, had ourselves
a good orange disk right in the center.
CC Copy, Ed.
363 18 55 50 PLT Okay, I haven't been saying too much to you.

Let's see-
1877
SPT-EVA Well, I'd still like to get this thing nailed

down little bit here.
PLT Okay. You're - you're still working on it, huh?
SPT-EVA Yes, I don't think that will work, though.
SPT-EVA Okay. Let me Just take her off.
PLT All you're doing is putting the filter case and

the T025 assembly back in the airlock module. And
I think you can do it better than I can explain
it to you.
363 18 56 20 PLT And so you don't compromise yourself - get your-

self out of position at about - we're coming up on
about 4 minutes for terminating the S020 exposure.
SPT-EVA Got a - the lock valve here has gotten in-turned,

but I'm working on it.
363 18 56 47 PLT How long are you going to be with us, Story?
z CC Bill, at this point here another 5 minutes.
SPT-EVA Okay, how much time do we have left, Bill?
363 18 56 57 PLT We have ll minutes of daytime.
SPT-EVA Oh, okay.
PLT Now that's not 400 K. We've got, let's see,

about - -
CC But the LOS is only 4 minutes.
SPT-EVA Okay, we were thinking we'd like to get another

good look at that comet.
PLT Oh, I think we're going to be able to get in - a

5 minute S020 exposure.
SPT-EVA Good.
PLT All you have to do is go to frame - from 5 to 6.

And looks like we have plenty of good time left
before 400 K.
1878
SPT-EVA Okay. We got their next priority?
PLT Yes. I'm Just going straight down the list.
363 18 57 39 SPT-EVA What I'm going to do is hook up my chest tethers

here first.
PLT Okay, Ed. About 3 minutes for changing the S020

knob.
SPT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay, Bill, what are the day settings here?
PLT Hmm.
CDR-EVA Hey, f - it was f/ll, wasn't it?
PLT Yes, it was, f/ll and think - I thought - was

thinking it was 1/500, but I don't find a - -
CDR-EVA It's a - you got yourself a spot in the checklist

there - call out - you got to thumb through there
a little bit there, Bill.
PLT Okay. Just stand by. I don't want to miss that

S020 - I was Just thinking about - let's see -
Yes.
CC Bill, Houston.
PLT Go ahead, Story.
363 18 58 28 CC Bill, if you could, we'd like you to load the

20-minute maneuver time here so we can take a
look at it here, or over Madrid, prior to maneuver.
We still want you to hold off on that maneuver
until 25 minutes of night remaining.
PLT Roger. Will do.
SPY-EVA Okay, Jer, I've got the T025 waiting for you here.
CDR-EVA All right.
CDR-EVA Well, I Just can't seem to get organized here to -

to get a good flick.
1879
PLT How does that look, Story?
SPT-EVA You can get it the next time around.
PLT There. I - I'm checking on that, Jer. He wanted

me to do something else ...
CC Good maneuver time, Bill.
363 18 59 22 PLT PLT prep. DAC prep .... I bet they don't give
me - there. No settings there.
SPT-EVA It's in the - in the operate - the EV operations

somewhere.
PLT All righty.
SFT-EVA The one for EV-2 - EV-2.
CDR-EVA Okay, Ed. Would you hand me in that monstrosity?
SPT-EVA Okay. 0kay.
_- 363 18 59 48 CDR-EVA If you swing it around the other end first, it

might be a little easier for both of us.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT I'll tell you, Ed, you ought to get back out there.
I'm going to have you change this S020 in about
h0 seconds.
SPT-EVA All right. Just a minute and let me get Jer to

grab this.
363 19 00 02 CDR-EVA I've got it, Ed.
SPT-EVA Okay. Let me get my tethers off it.
CDR-EVA 0kay.
SPT-EVA Off of it. Okay, and I'm ready to -
PLT 5, l0 - I don't think we're going to be able to

get it in. We can't get that 5-minute exposure
in. So you're Just going to have to go back to
storage.
F
Z880
SPT-EVA Well, do they have any 1-mlnute exposures in

there - -
PLT No.
SPT-EVA - - ... into their priorities?
PLT No, I - Just a second here. Stand by.
B63 19 O0 29 CC That's on ps4_e 2.4-i_, Skylab.
PLT Okay, stand by, Ed.
SPT-EVA Okay.
363 19 00 35 CDR-EVA MARK. Go to storage.
SPT-EVA Okay. We're at storage. Now I think they've got

some short ones there we can pick up.
PLT Okay. We can - it says - hut - but we're going

to use up the frames if we do that. We only have
one to use. I would prefer Just to hold off and
go through exactly the way it is.
SPT-EVA All right. Let's do it that way.
PLT Okay. And that terminates the exposures for this

orb it.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT 5 - I was wrong - a 5-minute would have put it

down to h00 K. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and
INHIBIT CMO control and do a nominal H-CAGE right
now. It says at end of data take or sunset.
SPT-EVA Jer, why don't you turn off the EVA lights there?
363 19 01 13 CDR-EVA All right. Right now I'm a little busy, but I'll
get to it in a second.
SPT-EVA Okay. Can I help you?
CDR-EVA Not that I know of. Oh, you took the waist tether?
SPT-EVA Yes.
1881
CDR-EVA Ah-ha!
SI_f-EVA Yes, I had it on my chest originally.
CDR-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA I got the other one on the DAC now.
363 19 01 29 SPT-EVA Tell you what, if you'd like that - this waist
tether, I probably will not be needing it. I can
use the wrist tether on 201.
CDR-EVA All right. Fine. Why don't you give it to me?
SPT-EVA Okay.
363 19 01 36 CC Skylab, 30 seconds to LOS. 4 minutes to Madrid.

Be dumping the data/voice there.
PLT Roger, Story.
SPT-EVA However, this is an extra one which I had, which

was not the one that was passed out on it.
f.
CDR-EVA Yes, the one - the one that - was on it I put on

the DAC.
SPT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA So we wouldn't lose it.
SPT-EVA Oh! Try it again here.
PLT F/II, 1/500. (Laughter)
SPT-EVA I'll come out of the shoes.
PLT Yes. Is that -
CDR-EVA No, that's all right, Just swing it again.
CDR-EVA I got it.
PLT Okay. I got two settings here.
CDR-EVA How much time we got, Bill, before sunset?

1882
363 19 02 16 PLT Okay, you've got 5 minutes.
SPT-EVA Okay.
CC The 5-minutes exposure on S020 might be good,

Skylab.
CDR-EVA ...
PLT Well, Story, I did a quick calculation, it would

have put us in below h00 K, so I decided not to.
PLT That's a very - that's between 220 and 200

angstroms, that thing is. I thought all those
high energy low - for - short wavelength things
didn't like the atmosphere. Did you get my reply
on the exposure, Jer?
CDR-EVA No.
PLT Okay.
CDR-EVA Just a minute, I 'm busy.
PLT All righty.
CDR-EVA Okay, now.
PLT Okay.
SPT-EVA If you would, turn off those EVA lights.
CDR-EVA I will, Ed. Just a minute. Bill go ahead.
363 19 03 25 PLT A11 right. For day, f/ll and 1/500.
CDR-EVA 1/500, okay.
PLT Now if you want one for night, Just ask me.
CDR-EVA All right. Now let me get the lights.
363 19 03 h2 CDR-EVA Okay, they're up.
SPT-EVA How much time left there, Bill?
PLT h minutes.
1883
CDR-EVA Okay, what's the night setting, Bill?
PLT Okay, a night setting is f/l.8, 1/60.
CDR-EVA Give me a mark at around 1 minute to go, would

you please, Bill?
PLT Okay. Just out of curiosity, Ed, while we're in

this nominal H-CAGE and CMG INHIBIT, is the S020
still centered?
SPT-EVA I don't want to go out there and look, Bill -

I'm ...
PLT Oh, I'm sorry, you're still in there. Oh, you're

back in, all right.
363 19 05 33 CDR-EVA ***think I can look.
363 19 14 34 PLT *** control.
363 19 14 48 PLT *** situation right now, and I'm going to - I've
put it a maneuver time and I'm going to put in a
- coarsemaneuver and then before the last entry I
switched to ATT HOLD, CMG but still - -
CDR-EVA Is it working?
SPT-EVA I cannot see the lights; you may be covering it.

There is a - Tell me where the light is.
CDR-EVA Right there. Yes, I must have been covering it.
363 19 15 20 SPT-EVA Boy, this is murder. This was not made for EVA.
(Laughter)
CDR-EVA Here I go! How about an upside-down picture?
PLT That DAC? Yes, that's murder.
SPT-EVA Well, start over again.
SPT-EVA I feel it work - that's good.
PLT Okay, S201 time.
363 19 16 20 CDR-EVA Okay. Let's get rid of this camera now.

188h
I--
PLT Okay, it's about 2-1/2 minutes to start the

maneuver.
PLT Okay. I Just start working it?
SPT-EVA Yes, I think we know how to pull it off whenever

you get squared away in there.
363 19 17 08 PLT All right, tell me when you want to; I can start
talking -
SPT-EVA No, you want to put that at your own convenience

there, Bill. Don't get N.w
363 19 17 lh PLT Okay, unscrew four wingnuts. Remove front cover,

this is for EV-2. Unscrew four wingnuts, remove
front cover, and stow by wrist tether on handrail
next to panel 313, CABIN PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Then you hook up the power cable to panel 316.
363 19 17 33 CDR-EVA Oh, very well. In work.
PLT Caution: Camera must not be pointed within 15

degrees of the Sun, to preclude burning the photo-
cathode.
363 19 17 43 PLT What it is here I was going to ask you about, Ed,
I think I understand it now. I - I understood
what to do. I wasn't clear what was going - in
my mind, what was going to take place. But we
have CMGs INHIBITed right now, see.
SPT-EVA Yes.
PLT So before I mske my last entry on the maneuver, I

go to ATT HOLD, CMG, or I push the switch to ATT
HOLD, CMG, but we're not in C - ATT HOLD, CMG.
SPT-EVA 0kay.
PLT Because you've got CMGs INHIBITed, but it's supposed

to change logic and m=_e it mar or do - -
SPT-EVA Well, the movement - the whole maneuver, you know,

is the TACS.
1885
363 19 18 15 PLT It's maneuvering with TACS_ that's correct.
SPT-EVA And then when you get out there, then you ENABLE
the CMGs and they'll hold you in there nice -
nice and fine.
PLT Okay.
363 19 18 24 SPT-EVA But otherwise, you're going to be saturating your

CMGs if you have them ENABLEd.
PLT Okay. 2565 -
SPT-EVA Hey, we're going to come out of a good configura-

tion.
363 19 18 42 PLT Okay, unstow 2 - S201, verify bracket is fully

open and makes about a 30-degree angle with the
experiment to preclude the instrument being
pointed at the Sun during observations and then
pass S201 to EV-1.
SPT-EVA Bill, now that we can see it out of that STS

window, I sure wish we had some kind of a coalign-
ment mechanismwe couldwork, where we could align
the telescope in there. We can probably get it
all squared away and then do the same with the
comet.
PLT Well, I - I may have been a little premature there.
SPT-EVA Well, I was looking with - yesterday, Bill, and I

think maybe it was Just - doesn't have the
elongation.
363 19 19 39 PLT I think that we were - we had Just maneuvered - I

Just had a nominal H-CAGE. I'm in doing the
maneuver here now.
PLT Okay. Stand by. Watch rates.
363 19 19 58 PLT ENTER.
PLT Okay, there go to TACS. Boompity-bomp.
363 19 20 01 SPT-EVA Hey, let me see if I can watch those things fire.
I doubt it. You can usually only see them off
the reflection at night.
if
1886
PLT X minus 370.
363 19 20 h9 PLT _............

m, 270 instead of 370.
SPT-EVA Just be patient, Bill. Even under CMGs, I find

that those things have quite a wide deviation.
PLT Yes. Well, we're not in any trouble because the

CMGs are in good shape.
363 19 21 26 PLT The range is not what they gave me on the pad;
that 's all.
363 19 21 32 PLT X equal minus 0.0370, and I got minus 0.0261 or

thereabout. Now - wait a minute.
SPT-EVA Looks like you're ready there, Jer.
CDR-EVA Yes, Just about. There's no big rush.
363 19 21 55 SPT-EVA I was Just thinking about something. I want you

to come on out and take a look at it later.
SPT-EVA And if things really get bad - Well, I guess we

can't do much. I was thinking about their recom-
mendation of trying to deploy that sail any more -
and we could probably tweak it a little bit by
throwing a line around there and pulling it back
down here. But I would suggest that since we -
it's kind of short notice, that we forego it and
try to do the best we can with the - you know,
with the high beta.
363 19 22 27 CDR-EVA We don't - we don't know what the situation is on

the brittleness of that.
363 19 22 32 CDR-EVA You fiddle with that and you might split the whole
thing down the middle.
SPT-EVA That could be kind of bad news. I agree with you.
CDR-EVA That'd Just ruin your whole day, right there.
SPT-EVA It'd ruin your whole stay.
363 19 23 02 PLT Well, I hope I didn't put a wrong number in there,

I checked every one of them.
1887
SPT-EVA Now, what kind of tether do you have on that? I'd

like - -
363 19 23 17 CDR-EVA I have the power cable serving as a tether right

now.
SPT-EVA Oh, boy. Let's see - do we have any tether attach

point anywhere?
CDR-EVA Oh, yes. I'm sorry. I could have handed it to

you little better.
SPT-EVA 0h, that's that way. Okay. Let me get a wrist

tether on it.
363 19 23 _0 SPT-EVA That's all right. Just push it out a little bit
further and I can - Well, no, I - I'd be putting
it around something I'd have it take off again.
PLT When you're ready, Ed, I can read some words. Just
let me know.
SPT-EVA All right, go ahead.

f
363 19 23 55 PLT Okay. You're tethering $201. You're going to

mount it on the near side of the ATM truss to the
D-1 handrail, and then tighten the clamp.
SPT-EVA That's right next to - -
363 19 24 07 PLT It's where you had the T025.
SPT-EVA Okay. And when you say near side - -
PLT The bottom. So it's on the bottom of it, hanging

off the bottom of it.
SPT-EVA Oh, okay; I see what you mean by that.
PLT The thing is, that when you lean out there, the -
the ring - -
SPT-EVA Okay, I've got it, Jerry. Thank you.
363 19 24 28 PLT - - the ring sights are sort of on the bottom.
SPT-EVA Okay, now make sure we got the - That cable is

plenty loose; so I don't want to -
1888
CDR-EVA Oh, yes, there's lots - lots of cable.
363 19 24 44 CDR-EVA It will serve to be a thorn in our side when we

come in.
SPT-EVA Got to see what William was saying to me here.
CDR-EVA Why don't you tether it to those handles you're

playing with, instead of that?
SPT-EVA I think you're right.
SPT-EVA Let's see, you had the handles.
363 19 25 08 CDR-EVA Well, I handed them out to you first, but you
didn't want them.
SPT-EVA I didn't even see them, Jer_ they were not up.
CDR-EVA No, no, they were folded down.
SPT-EVA And I was too - I didn't know the gear well enough
to realize that's what I was looking at.
363 19 25 21 PLT Wait until he gets a handle on the situation.
CDR-EVA Right.
SPT/CDR- Oooooooooooh.
EVA
PLT I Just wanted to see if you'd gone to sleep.
SPT-EVA Who can sleep with Jokes like that l Yuck!
CDR-EVA (Laughter)
363 19 25 34 PLT Okay, I got some more words.
CDR-EVA I hope they're not any more of those kind of words.
PLT/CDR- (Laughter)
EVA
363 19 25 h3 PLT If can - if canister adapter is not completely

shaded, change spacecraft roll to do so.
SPT-EVA Okay, well we - -

1889
PLT You put the - the thing on there and get the little
ring sight through there.
CDR-EVA Isn't $201 supposed to be between the two trusses,

Bill?
363 19 25 58 PLT No. It hangs off the bottom.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-RTA Yes, otherwise see, it's going to be looking solar,

like that. Or I should say Z, like that.
CDR-EVA Ye s.
SPT-EVA Okay, I Just wanted to pull this thing down here

to where I can tighten up the clamp.
SPT-EVA Okay. Let's see, you did take the front plate off.
Is that affirm?
363 19 26 19 CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA Okay.
363 19 26 42 SPT-EVA Let me take _ wrist tether off now and tighten
that thing up a little more by getting out of
the shoes.
PLT There's a - let's see - No.
363 19 27 27 SPT-EVA Now they want me to take and point it plus X until
the Sun - until we're ready to get that thing
squared away. The power cable, Jer, you're right,
is going to - can be a bit of a bind.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA Let me do something.
CDR-EVA You've got a few more feet here.
SPT-EVA I'm wondering if we can put it over here - tuck

it underneath this little clothesline restraint
here.
CDR-EVA Yes, that's a good idea.

1890
363 19 27 55 SPT-EVA That way it 'ii keep us free to move, but it 'ii
keep us from knocking into it so much.
SPT-EVA Okay, I got this thing now in the Z direction. I

want to move it - First of all, let me get f_m_liar
with this gear. There is a tightening situation
I'm going to have to go through here.
363 19 28 29 SPT-EVA Actually, that's kind of optimum right there, in

terms of tightness. I can move it around, but
yet it holds.
CDR-EVA Yes, that's good then.
SPT-EVA I don't think I'ii change that at all. However,

l'm getting snarled up in this power cable, aren't
I?
CDR-EVA No, it's okay.
SPT-EVA Tell you what l'm going to do. Just put a little
bit of extra underneath here, a little leader, if
you will, so in case we slam into it, it will pull
it out from underneath the tape rather than off of
theconnectors.
363 19 29 0h SPT-EVA Let me open up the binder. And I'll be darned

that this thing was sagaciously made so you can
actually work it in a pair of shoes, right from
the old restraint system here.
PLT Okay, Ed, do you have the ring sights deployed?
363 19 29 25 SPT-EVA Yes, I do. I'm Just looking for the - Oh, I see.
We're going to have to - aw, we're going to be
looking at it above the panel, so I will have to
be out of the shoes.
PLT I had to get out of them.
363 19 29 38 SPT-EVA Yes, I'm going to have to be down here scmewhere.

Oh, remind me next time they come up to describe
what we did not get in the way of that stuff above
the - the door - the hinge line. That is, what
they thought they were getting, not really what
they got.
SPT-EVA Aw, you know what's in the way?

1891
CDR-EVA What ?
363 19 30 13 SPT-EVA That some guy did not sagaciously think of? Oh boy!
363 19 30 20 SPT-EVA That - bind that holds up the - sail. It looks

as though it's right - it's going to he right in
the field of view. Well, maybe - yes.
SPT-EVA Now let's see what's prohibiting this thing frc_

rotating furth-
CDR-EVA Is that the right panel?
363 19 30 50 SPT-EVA Yes, that's going to be the right panel. He's

going to make a minus-X rotation - let's see.
CDR-EVA Yes.
363 19 30 58 SPT-EVA Minus - positive Z that way; minus Z that way.
CDR-EVA Yes, you're right.
SPT-EVA Also, I'm going to have to move this support down

a little bit, because the front of it is bumping
into the handrail.
363 19 31 20 SPT-EVA Obviously this section - this part would not work.
SPT-EVA Bill, looking at the handrail - move a little. I

think that'll clear it also.
363 19 32 54 PLT Okay, we got about ii minutes left to go in dark-

ness.
SPT-EVA How many?
PLT ll.
363 19 32 58 SPT-EVA Okay, th_nk you. Boy, it's going to take me every
bit of that to work this thing out.
PLT I think as soon as the Sun comes up, it's going

to be rather obvious.
SPT-EVA Well, it's not a question of knowing where it's

to be, Bill; it's a question of getting it there.
PLT Okay.
if
18_
363 19 33 21 SPT-EVA Geometry of this rig here is such that I've had to
shuffle it around so I could actually get it going -
pointing in the right direction.
PLT Oh, I see.
SPT-EVA A little further.
363 19 3_ 54 SPT-EVA Try that again.
363 19 35 24 PLT Well, this - this maneuver doesn't look like it's
at all perfect.
CDR-EVA Well, they said it wouldn't be, Bill.

PLT Yes.
363 19 35 _l SPT-EVA Goldang it! Why they never figured this handrail.
You Just can't bend it up that far. That's the
best we're going to do, right there.
SPT-EVA Let's see; how else can you do this one?
CDR-EVA Well, that's not bad that way, is it?
SPT-EVA No, no; that's not too bad, right there. Now the
question is whether that's going to be looking -
See, if I've got to point it to the right though,
I'm a little bit out of luck. That's - that's not -
that's Just not too bad though.
363 19 36 28 CDR-EVA Looks to me like you're pointing well to the right.

You're well above there - you're well behind that
panel.
SPT-EVA Yes, we are now, Jer; sure are. We're supposed

to be able to see the comet in the daytime? Is
that the word?
PLT No. Well, that's what they told us the other day,
but we flat couldn't.
CDR-EVA There's Just too much - too much scattered light -

too much light around here ; Just ruin the dark
adapt ion.
363 19 37 06 SPT-EVA Qkay, we know it's right above the Sun. So that's
where we can get our left/right, and we get our
up/down by the panel. Okay -
1893
CDR-EVA How much time to go, Bill?
PLT We've got about 7 minutes of darkness; the maneu-

ver should start ramping down in about 5.
363 19 37 2h SPT-EVA Back of the co--and module; there it is. Okay,

there's Y - there's plus X. Okay, we got two
controls over here on the other side for this
thing, huh?
363 19 37 35 PLT That's correct. One of them is a power switch,

and the other one is a start - or ru - excuse me,
a reset switch.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT And complete exposure sequence takes a little over

6 minutes; and we need three sequences.
SPT-EVA Okay.
363 19 37 55 PLT Most of the time'll be consumed like we did the

other day probably - you being satisfied that you
got the comet in the field of view.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT And you know, occulting the Sun. And you saw that
picture though, last night. I'm still going by
that.
363 19 38 13 SPT-EVA Yes. Well, apparently you got your - your up/down
is controlled by - above the panel, and your left/
right is by being centered on the Sun - centered
above the line where the Sun would project above
the panel.
PLT Well, as I look at it there, we saw the - the comet

Just after sunset, so if you see the Sun - -
363 19 38 37 CC Skylab, reading you loud and clear. Have you

through Carnarvon and Honeysuckle, 15 minutes.
CDR-EVA Roger, Story.
PLT The comet follows the Sun up.
SPT-EVA Yes.
PLT So - we let the Sun come up, and we put it behind
that panel and - -
363 19 38 58 SPT-EVA Elongation right now.
CDR-EVA Got S201 out, Story, and pointed in a safe direc-

tion. We're Just waiting for sunrise.
SPT-EVA Story, is the elongation about what, 6 degrees now?
B63 19 B9 12 CC That's affirm.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT And, Story - -
CC And, Ed, ...
363 19 39 20 PLT If you're watching the rates there, well, we've

been - I've been watching them build up very, very
slowly from about 270 instead of the nominal B70
in X. And Just continues to build up very, very
slowly. I'd like for you to take a look at it.
CC Okay.
363 19 39 38 PLT I'm getting TACS firings now. I think it's star-
ting to ramp it down.
PLT Okay, it's looking like it's- knows what it's

doing now, Story.
363 19 40 02 CC It's ramping down now, Bill, and still good.
PLT Right. Thank you.
363 19 40 21 CC Ed, while you all are out there and got a moment,
I'd like - got some questions concerning the comet.
SPT-EVA Okay, go ahead, Story.
CC We'd like again a tail orientation with respect

to the Sun, and is the tail straight or bent?
And are there two tails?
363 19 40 36 SPT-EVA Okay, Story. The only - Let's t_]k first about
the - the sunward spike. That one appears to be
projected straight towards the Sun, as best I can
1895
tell. We'll try and get a better look at it this

next time around. Frc_ there going - as I look
at it, the sunward tall is at - or the sunward
spike is at around 5 degrees - 05:30, I'm sorry -
5 or 05:30. We then go up to about 12 o'clock,
and that's the axis of the primary tail, which
spreads out around 20 degrees on either side. I
cannot see any evidence of a second, well distinct
tail. There is a sunward spike, the tail with
the 20-degree spread, and then there is a diffuse
material - very diffused between the spike and run-
ning from 5 or 05:30 all the way up to the tail -
the primary tail itself. The color is primarily
yellow. I cannot see a second tail. I know what
they're looking for - the difference between the
gas and the - the dust.
CC Yes.
SPT-EVA I cannot - cannot distinguish it. We'll take

another look this next time.
SPT-EVA You don't have very long - -
_ CC Okay.
363 19 41 58 SPT-EVA - - to look at it, Story, what you got to do is

get dark adapted and then get right here behind
the FAS and let the FAS occult the airglow. And
you then got yourself around 30 seconds or so to
get a good look at it.
363 19 42 13 CC Okay, later on today when you get back inside and
settle down, we'll have both you and Jer draw a
picture of the comet. And we'll get that on TV
at a later date.
SPT-EVA Sounds like a very good way to do it, Story.
CC So - -
SPT-EVA We'd like to - -
CC - - next time - next time she comes up, both of

you get a mental image of it and think about put-
ting that on paper.
SPT-EVA Okay, we certainly will.

1896
CDR-EVA Will do.
363 19 h2 38 PLT And depending on the attitude, I - I saw it on

the last pass, I maybe able to see it next time.
I'd lime a recommendation on setting the - I have
the Hasselblad up here in the MDA, if they think
it would be of any value to get a frame with that.
PLT When we're normally in the SI attitude, we can't

see it out of the MDAwindow.
CC That's good, Bill. We'll get some exposure

settings up to you.
363 19 43 06 PLT Okay. Looks like the maneuver's settling down

fairly well here. Okay, troops, 1 minute to go.
363 19 h3 20 SPT-EVA Okay, we've got it pointed off towards the plus-X
direction.
363 19 h3 2h CDR-EVA Here cc_es the Sun!
SPT-EVA Okay, let's hear the procedures there, Bill.
PLT Okay. You know to keep the canister shaded; you've

deployed the ring sights; and you know that when
the eye is about 6 inches frc_ the top sight - that
is, away from it - the two rings merge to form a - -
363 19 43 45 CC Bill, stand by on the CMGs until we give you a GO.
PLT Wilco. Loosen the alignment knob and aim the

camera at a point in the comet's tail - Well, of
course, this is Just wishful thinking here - about
5 degrees down - Sun and ensure the ATMsolarpanel
is not in ring sight. Okay?
363 19 hh 09 SPT-EVA Okay, you're going to have to do some more ma-

neuvering, Bill.
PLT Okay. And you will tighten the alignment knob,

et cetera, et cetera.
363 19 _h 15 PLT Now - Let's see now. Okay, we have a -
SPT-EVA We're looking at too much Sun. We're - -

• 1897
PLT OkaY, l'm going to have to close the window, and

besides we're going to have to wait for a GO to
turn on the CMGs. So stand by Just a minute.
363 19 44 33 CC Okay, Bill, you're GO for CS_Gcontrol and the

tweak maneuvers.
PLT Okay, understand. Tell him l'm on my way.
CDR-EVA Okay, he's on his way.
SPT-EVA Okay, Bill, put in a - an additional 2 degrees.
PLT And that's in roll?
363 19 4_ 51 SPT-EVA The axis you've been m_neuvering about. Yes, X.
363 19 4_ 53 PLT Okay, when ready for tweak maneuvers, ENABLE CMG
CONTROL.
CC Bill, let her settle out a little more.
PLT CT2AR it. Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay.
PLT Okay. Roger, Story. I'm waiting - I'm holding

off. How did the S020 look? Is it shaded?
SPT-EVA Yes, it's okay, if that's what you mean. Being

shaded.
363 19 h5 16 PLT Is it shaded? Could we - could we sneak in some

S020 exposures ?
SPT-EVA No.
PLT Okay.
SPT-EVA No, not at this - not at this moment. No, let's

not play with that.
PLT Well, I didn't mean right now.
363 19 _5 32 CC Bill, you're GO for CMG CONTROL and then wait a

little while to settle down before the tweak
_euvers.
f
189_
PLT Okay. Didn't say how long. I'll wait about

2 minutes. I
363 19 45 54 PLT Allow 2 minutes for settling; then tweak plus or

minus X as required.
CDR-EVA Wonder how long this cue card has been out here?
Story, there's a cue card out here in the FAS
called "Co_-,-loss between EV-I and EV-2." Why
don't you ask them if they'd like us to bring it
in with us when we come in on our last EVA?
363 19 46 18 CC Copy, Jer.
CDR-EVA It's obviously been out for some time. It's all
brown looking.
PLT Okay, Ed. You're probably noticing small attitude

excursions. You may - -
363 19 46 29 CC The words we're getting is it's glued in place, Jer.
CDR-EVA Oh, okay. Bet we can get it up.
PLT Probably so dang brittle it would break off.
363 19 h6 41 SPT-EVA Tell me when you're going to make that m_neuver,

because we're still looking at that Sun.
PLT I have to wait 2 minutes, Ed, before I can start.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT Let's see now. Can you - can you envision whether
it would be a plus or a minus? Is - is it too
much trouble - -
363 19 46 57 CC CMGs are still taking the attitude error out.
SPT-EVA Hold on. Let me - let me take a look. Jer, .....
PLT Roger, Story_ I'm holding off.
363 19 47 02 SPT-EVA I envision that panel's got to come up, which, to

me, is a right-hand rotation pointed towards X - -
PLT Plus
-- _
SPT-EVA - - Well, actually that's the plus X.

1899
PLT Plus X.
P
CDR-EVA That's what it says to me, yes.
363 19 47 ii PLT Okay, that's what I got it - That's what I have

in mind, too. Now l'm having to wait here until
the CMGs settle down. Let me check these gimbals
once again. Okay, we got one on the stop.
363 19 47 30 CC Bill, you're GO for the tweak maneuvers.
PLT Okay. Beautiful. Now do you have any guesses or

sm I Just - -
SPT-EVA Plus 2.
363 19 47 37 CDR-EVA I think plus 'ii do it.
PLT Okay.
SPT-EVA Try a plus 2.
363 19 47 44 PLT 52030 ENTER. CLEAR. 5 (whispering) ENTER; ...

ENTER, CLEAR. 5 and the last - -
363 19 58 08 CC Bill, your zero-minute time is confirmed.
PLT Okay. The plus is zero, isn't it?
SPT-EVA Right.
PLT Stand by - for - stand by for an ENTER on the

tweak maneuver, Story. Okay, here we go, troops.
See what happens.
363 19 h8 h0 CC Okay.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT What does it look like, Ed? Tell me, does it - -
SPT-EVA - - ...
PLT Did we guess right?
8PT-EVA Yes.
PLT Good.
F_
1900
363 19 48 49 SPT-EVA Just a minute. Now let me tell you.

t
CDR-EVA Yes, we guessed right. It's moving. I don't think
we guessed enough, but we guessed the right direction.
SPT-EVA That 's what I thought, yes.
363 19 49 00 PLT Okay, we can do another one.
SPT-EVA I'd put in a 5 next time. I don't think we even

went anywhere near enough.
PLT Okay, I'll put another one in.
CDH-EVA Okay, you through, Bill? You better put in

5 degrees.
PLT Well, look it Just -we're not through yet.
363 19 49 17 SPT-EVA Well, get spring loaded for 5, and when it damps
out, go.
CDR-EVA Yes, it's hardly moved at all.
363 19 49 22 SPT-EVA It's enough that I can now shield - When I move
way down here, Jar, I can at least occult the Sun
with the solar panel, which I could not do before.
So we're going in the right direction, but we got
quite a ways to go.
363 19 49 31 CDR-EVA Yes, yes. I can see that. l'm sighting through
a wire bundle here. It moved down a couple of ties.
SPT-EVA Okay; give her 5, Bill.
PLT Stand by. l'm going to giveher 5. It's ram -

ramping down. l'm going give her another one.
363 19 49 47 PLT I Just put another one in, Story; 5 degrees this
time.
CC Okay.
SPT-EVA That's doing a little better Job.
363 19 50 16 CDR-EVA Yes, it's moving. Still not going to be enough.

No. Looks like it needs another 5.
SPT-EVA Well, let's Just take a look here, Jer. Hold on.
i_i
363 19 50 26 CDR-EVA It hasn't moved halfway from where it started.

!
PLT It's still got a fairly healthy rate, but - -
SPT-EVA Well, I - I don't know, Jer. I've moved my head

from here 2 feet along here, and it looks like we
got about another foot to go. But - -
363 19 50 _0 PLT We're still maneuvering.
SPT-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA Okay,
SPT-EVA I think we're going to be pretty - pretty close

on this one, Jar.
SPT-EVA Now you're doing in- getting some wire bundles.
363 19 51 02 PLT We're ramping down now, Ed. How's it look? Going
to need some more?
SPT-EVA Yes.
_- CDR-EVA Yes, we're going to need more.
363 19 51 06 SPT-EVA How about - how about another 2? What do you

guess, Jer?
CDR-EVA I'd say 3 or 4.
SPT-EVA All right, make it 3.
CDR-EVA We moved down about three wire bundle units; looks

like we got about two to go.
SPT-EVA Well, I started with my head right down here, Jer.

It moved essentially up to here, which is like
3 feet, and it looks like we got another foot to
go.
363 19 51 50 PLT Okay, we're maneuvering again.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT Maneuvering plus X another 2 degrees, Story.
SPT-EVA 2 degrees?
1902
CDR-EVA Should have been 3.

(
PLT Oh, so_¥ about that.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA That's al] right. Let's Just see what it does.
363 19 52 16 SPT-EVA You also get a little reflection off the - struts
for the solar array.
PLT Not only that but your Sun comes right through the
cracks too. -
SPT-EVA Yes, a little bit. Tell us when we're there.
363 19 52 31 PLT Okay, we're ramping out; I'm putting in another

one.
SPT-EVA Tell you what. Let's put in another 2.
CDR-EVA Yes, at least. That only moved us about halfway.
SPT-EVA I was getting ready to bet you some butter cookies.

I'm glad I didn't. 4
CDR-EVA (Chuckle)
363 19 52 47 PLT Here we go again.
SPT-EVA Glad we worked this orientation out at night. I'd

hate to be trying to do all that at - at this
point in the game. Let's see now, the - the cam-
era's going to actually be a little bit below this.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA So I think we're doing it. Are we ramping down?
PLT Not yet; I'll tell you. CMG 2 is 80 - 70 percent.
SPT-EVA Jer? Think we can probably go back l?
CDR-EVA Well - -
363 19 53 32 CC Skylab, we're about _0 seconds from LOS, about

30 minutes to Texas at 20:2_ - -
CDR-EVA I can't tell; I'm not in a position - -

1903
CC - - Your momentum's looking good.
CDR-EVA - - to where I could see.
SPT-EVA Okay, tell you what; you get down there and take
a look.
CDR-EVA Okay.
363 19 53 43 CC Bill, I got s_ne Hasselblad settings for you.
PLT Good; go.
CC Wide open, and the speed at 1/30.
PLT Copy.
CDR-EVA Yes, maybe back 1 or - Let's see - -
PLT Back l? Okay.
CDR-EVA Let's Just see what it does.
PLT It's ramping down now.
SPT-EVA Story, one thing. We do have a scissors arm which

is in the field of view. So you will get a - a
scissors which is in the field of view, although
it won't take out very much of the picture.
PLT Back how many de ... - -
CC Copy, Ed.
PLT 1 degree back?
CDR-EVA I think 1 ought to do it, Bill.
363 19 54 2_ SPT-EVA Tell us when that's in and stable and we'll set
her up.
363 19 54 27 PLT ... minutes - starting to maneuver.
363 19 54 29 CDR-EVA Okay. I don't see any comet. I'm holding the Sun
right at the tangency of the panel, and you don't
see anything.
SPT-EVA Yes.
f
190_
CDR-EVA It 's Just black.

q
SPT-EVA Well, that Sun coming through that crack in the

panel is not helping.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA There's too much light structure here. The clouds

down there are very reflective.
363 19 5h 52 PLT It's ramping down.
CDR-EVA That looks pretty good, Ed.
SPT-EVA Okay, let's start setting her up.
PLT Okay, when tweak maneuver complete, DAS.
CDR-EVA I sight down this side of the can; see how it looks.
363 19 55 07 SPT-EVA Yes, I think you're right.
CDR-EVA In fact, it's about right.
SPT-EVA Aw - I think we've got to go another desree, Bill,

back the other way. The - the degree you Just took
out, put it back in there.
PLT Okay, Just a second. I'm going have to recheck my

maneuver time. I Just put the - -
363 19 55 29 SPT-EVA Sorry about that.
PLT No sweat.
363 19 55 31 SPT-EVA But as I look at it, I think Jerry's right. We

got to be a little conservative here. As I look
at it above there, we got the Sun - about one-half
of the S%m peeking over the edge, which is like a
quarter of a degree. So 1 degree ought to Just
about occult it Just right.
363 19 55 h9 SPT-EVA Beautiful piece of gear. I'd hate to damage it;

miss out on _Ii those goo_ photol.
PLT Here we go.
CDR-EVA Go ahead.
19o5
PLT Okay, watch it.
363 19 56 13 PLT Okay, number 2 OUTER GIMBAL is reading 75.
SPT-EVA Tell us when we're there, Bill.
PLT Okay. (Whispering) Ding, baby.
363 19 56 25 PLT It ramp - It's ramping down.
SPY-EVA Okay.
363 19 56 31 PLT Take a quick look at my gimbal here. Yes, number 3

counter's on the stop.
SPT-EVA Goldang it. l'm afraid my thoughts before were

right, Jer.
CDR-EVA Okay, what do you have? What's your opinion right

now.
SPT-EVA Got a good attitude as far as the total spacecraft,

but - up - Let's see exactly where is the Sun rel-
ative to the - floating all around here - is.
363 19 57 l0 CDR-EVA I'm trying to get further back here to sight along
the can*WWer, - -
SPT-EVA Yes, I ... good thought --
CDR-EVA - - might give you a good perspective.
363 19 57 l_ SPT-EVA Okay, the Sun is right above that second - the
interface between first and second panel of the
lar - of the larger wing there - the largest.
Toward there yet?
SPT-EVA Can you hold my feet a moment, Jer?
CDR-EVA Sure.
SPT-EVA Because I need a two-sxis rotation in this darn

thing.
363 19 57 37 CDR-EVA Okay, let me get in the shoes.
CDR-EVA At least in one of them.

19o6
SPT-EVA Hey, well, that's not so t .
CDR-EVA You'll have to move your bc to the left a little.
SPT-EVA I think I've - I think I've pretty much got it.

I'm all right - -
36B 19 57 59 CDR-EVA Oh, okay_ good.
SI_9-EVA Got to go a little further to my left.
PLT Our rates are pretty stable right now.
SPT-EVA Okay.
363 19 58 31 CDR-EVA I think we got too much wing occulting it.
SPT-EVA Jet, if we go back 1 -
PLT They said that we didn't need to use any more in

the coarse maneuver.
PLT Well, let me Just see - oh, darn it! Flubbed it.
363 19 58 54 PLT Okay, we do - so that I don't forget this, Jer, we

do need the kill the EVA light.
CDR-EVA Okay. *** see, I'm outside. Are you - I guess

you can pull the breakers.
PLT I can - I can do it.
SPT-EVA Why don't you Just do it right now?
363 19 59 07 PLT Okay, let me do that one right now before I forget
about it.
SPT-EVA Okay, now - looking at the camera, really seeing

here, Jer.
CDR-EVA Yes, that 's what I 'm -
SPT-EVA They said to be a little conservative on it. And

look, you got 6 degrees out in front of it -
6 degrees frcm the Sun ... - -
CDR-EVA Yes, here's where I'm taking it; hitting me right

in the helmet right now.
1907
SPT-EVA What ?
CDR-EVA The Sun's Just peeking over the edge and hitting
me in the helmet right now.
363 19 59 38 SPT-EVA Yes.
CDR-EVA And that's about - about i0 degrees.
SPT-EVA But heck, Jer - All right, tell you what, Bill,
let's take one rotation.
PLT Do what?
SPT-EVA Put one rotation in back the opposite way, the -
CDR-EVA That 's a minus.
363 19 59 56 PLT Okay. Stand by.
SPT-EVA *** take a look here.
CDR-EVA Tell you what you can do is I - I'll go out front

and look at the front of the cameraand tell you
_ whetherit's shadedor not. You know, if the -
And if the Sun line starts coming onto it, I'll
holler at you, and you can snatcb it in.
363 20 00 20 SPT-EVA Okay. I tell you what you can also do is go on

out there and shade it, but don't get your PCU in
it. Well, that's probably not a very good idea.
We don't want to get gas in there, because other-
wise we might get corona when we turn it on.
Watch it, you're bumping right into it.
363 20 00 37 PLT Okay. Here we go.
SPT-EVA Watcb - wa - watch that power cable! Here hold on.
CDR-EVA Okay. Get it. I'll Just hold easy.
363 20 00 h4 SPT-EVA Well, hold on; I'm not in a position to do it.
PLT We 're maneuvering. Okay. We 're ... down - -
SPT-EVA Okay. We 're free.
363 20 00 51 PLT Going to be in a little trouble here on gimbals.

Son of a gun. No, here, I think we're going to
1908
ease off now on - Looks like I got number 2 and

number 3 both on a stop. Getting close to it.
363 20 Ol 09 SPT-EVA That's Just peeking over it, Jer.
CDR-EVA Yes.
363 20 01 ii PLT Okay. That's going to be about it.
CDR-EVA The sunlight is peeked onto one corner about an

inch - oh, 2 inches, but it's not in the - in the
hole where the lens is.
SPT-EVA Okay.
CDR-EVA I'd say you're perfect.
363 20 01 24 SPT-EVA Okay, tell you what. Just - Just monitor that
while I move it around in order to make sure we've
got good alignment on it.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA It'll Just take me a second to get stabilized here

before I dothat.
CDR-EVA Okay. You can't move it into the sunrise now

because of the rails in your way. So you're safe.
So you're improving the situation now.
CDR Very good.
363 20 01 48 PLT Okay, I've got two gimbals on a stop. The outer
and the - my number 3 - -
SPT-EVA Afraid I'm going to have to peruse the situation

there.
CDR-EVA That 's good.
PLT How - how stable does it look, Jer? I got two

gimbals on a stop here.
CDR-EVA Let 's see.
PLT Well, we're not - we're not squirreling around,

are we?
1909
363 20 02 08 0D_-EVA No, I don't see any - The shadow's not moving on
the camera at all.
SPT-EVA How's your attitude error doing?
PLT Stand by. Oh, I forgot to call up attitude errors.

Darn - Just a second. 52003.
CDR-EVA Man, that's - that's a good call now, Ed. We're

in good shape.
363 20 02 36 SPT-EVA Okay, and as far as I can tell, that's where it

should be. --
363 20 02 39 PLT Okay. We're in great shape on attitude errors.
CDR-EVA Very good.
PLT Got ahold fast.
SPT-EVA Let's see if I can tighten that thing up without - -
CDR-EVA 0h, I wouldn 't, Ed.
f SPT-EVA Well,okay.
363 20 02 47 PLT I did that the other day and moved the whole thing.
SPT-EVA Okay, I hope I can hit these switches.
PLT I don't think you have anything to worry about.
SPT-EVA Okay. Tell you what. You Just - -
363 20 02 54 PLT POWER switch ON.
SPT-EVA All right, let me get configured here. I don't

want it to react against the - Darn, I wish we
had a - Don't forget to ... - -
PLT What are we doing there? 9 seconds, and ... 35.
SPT-EVA The POWER switch is ON.
PLT Stand by - -
363 20 03 14 CDR-EVA Looks good, Ed. From here, anyway.
F _
191G .
8_-EVA Okay. Let me move back here. I want to take a

look at the pl_e where the Sun's hitting the solar
panel once again.
CDR-_A Okay.
SPT-EVA Oh, yes. Yes, that's going to be good.

363 20 03 33 CDR-EVA It's perfect.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT Couldn't be any closer. -
SPT-EVA I don't,think so. I think we've got it good.
363 20 03 37 SPT-EVA Okay. POWER is ON.
PLT POWER switch ON. And on my mark you can hit the
RESET switch to START.
SPT-EVA All right. Just let me get squared away here, so

I don't disturb it when I do it.
363 20 0h ii SPT-EVA Okay. Ready. -_
PLT Okay. Stand by.
363 20 04 15 PLT MARK. Okay, and the t_me is 20:0h:17. On START,

and I've got a timer running - -
SPT-EVA Just a slight amount of oscillation there at the

beginning. Dsmped out now. I would say we have
2 seconds or so of very slight oscillation.
E-EVA Now I'm supposed to be able to see a light, am I?
CDR-EVA I don't think so.
PLT Don't worry about it. You see the white light
flashing when it starts - when it starts sume of
those sequences. But that green light is not
green; it's brown, and it's not bright enough to
see. So if you saw the white light start flashing
when you first - -
SPT-EVA I did not. I could not - I was not down in the

field of view.
363 20 0h 53 PLT Well, don't worry. We'll Just watch it on the
next time around. We got enough surface flash.
b
SPT-EVA Jerry, the sequences here?
CDR-EVA Yes. Once in a while.
PLT Once in a while. Okay. You can keep your eye

on it.
363 20 05 04 SPT-EVA How's our attitude error doing?
PLT Aw, it's not too good. We do have a slight attitude

error.
SPT-EVA How large?
PLT Let's see. Plus point - or excuse me - plus 0022.
SPT-EVA Aw, that' s all right.
PLT Not bad.
SPT-EVA If that starts increasing, let us know because

that 's - -
363 20 05 20 PLT We do have two gimbals on the stop, and I - I've

been watching it. And it's - I guess it's the
Z-attitude error is starting to build up very,
very slightly.
SPT-EVA How - how's the X-attitude error?
363 20 05 34 PLT It's fine.
SPT-EVA Okay, that's the one we've got to - -
PLT I don't think you have to worry about - -
SPT-EVA - - Well, X is the one we've got to watch because

if that one - We don't have to worry about
turning amy power on in that in - in that input
station do we, Jer?
363 20 05 49 CDR-EVA Well, let me check and see. I don't think it's
on, now that you mention it - the utility power.
We may have to start this one over.
f
1912 .
SPT-EVA Ah -
CDR-EVA Steer me around the power cord. I've done m_

thing out here, so I ought to get out of the way
anyway.
SPT-EVA Okay. Just watch the cord. Bring yourself back

down towards me.
CDR-EVA All right.
363 20 06 09 CDR-EVA Okay, I'm going to have to let go in order to

keep fr_ elbowing the experiment.
363 20 06 13 SPT-EVA Okay. I got you.
SPT-EVA Just a minute. Don't move - don't move fast.
CDR-EVA 0ks_v.
SPT-EVA Okay. Why don't you go on in there and see what

the condition of that POWER switch is.
363 20 06 30 PLT We only have a i minute and 20 seconds to go

hereanyway, and- -
SPT-EVA Until what?
PLT Until the end of this sequence.
363 20 06 37 SPT-EVA I don't think we got the sequence if we don't

have any power on, Bill.
CDR-EVA I don't think the power's on, Bill.
PLT Yes. Okay.
CDR-EVA Okay, l'm tangled up in the cord now. Ah, that's

beautiful. Just a minute. There we go.
363 20 06 59 CDR-EVA No, UTILITY POWER is OFF.
SPT-EVA Okay, don't turn it ON. Let me turn this OFF

first.
CDR-EVA 0k_.
363 20 07 i0 SPT-EVA Okay, it's OFF.

1913
CDR-EVA All right. Here comes the POWER, ON.
' SPT-EVA 0kay.
363 20 07 lh CDR-EVA A11 right, it's 0N.
SPT-EVA POWER here coming ON, and I m_uaged to move the

pointing slightly.
PLT Okay. Now when you're ready, I've got the timer
set again.
CDR-EVA All right.
SPT-EVA Okay. Just a minute.
363 20 08 31 SPT-EVA Okay. Now, POWER switch is ON, and we'll try
a START.
PLT Let me know. You- let me give you the count, Ed.
SPT-EVA Just a m_nute. Now let me give you the - the

mm_ks so--
f PLT Okay. Fine.
SPT-EVA All right, here I go.
PLT On RESET switch to START, Just give me the m_k.
SPT-EVA 0kant, Just a minute here. I'll get hack to it.
SPT-EVA Okay. On m_ mark.
363 20 09 38 SPT-EVA MAKK. Okay, it's going.
PLT Got it? See the little white light flash?
SPT-EVA Yes.
363 20 09 h6 PLT Okay. We got plenty of time; no big rush.
SPT-EVA What does that white light do?
PLT It's signaling the sequencing of the various - -
363 20 09 56 SPT-EVA How long after you hit that does it start exposing?
PIT T,,,_dlately.
191h
SPT-EVA Aw, that's too bad because I probably had around -

oh, about 2 seconds of oscillation again in
there.
363 20 l0 07 PLT Well, I don't think - That is not a fine, spatially

resolved instrument.
SPT-EVA It's pretty good. Of course, it's - what it's

really looking for is space features, though.
You're right. About 20 times more sensitive than
the normal -
363 20 l0 22 PLT Would - If you can, sort of keep an eye on that

solar panel. We're - we're starting to develop
a small rate in X.
SPT-EVA All right. Let me try to try to get back around

there and I'll - -
PLT Not - not a rate ; an attitude error.
SPT-EVA 0kay.
363 20 l0 35 PLT We got both outer gimbals on stop.
CDR-EVA Smile, Ed. You're on Candid Camera. Reach up

and look like you're touching something.
SPT-EVA Boy, I hate to be -
363 20 ll 15 PLT What is this readout in attitude error?
SPT-EVA That's the groove - point for a tenth of a degree.
PLT Which - which n_-,her is the tenth?
SPT-EVA The last one is the tenth.
PLT Okay. We're 9-1/2 degrees out in Z and 1.7 in X.
363 20 ll 33 SPT-EVA Let's see. Oh, you never - oh, heck. Yes, this
thing has drifted way - drift - No, not wait a
minute. Oh, it's moved way down, Jer. We're off.
Goldang it! I can Just see it moving right along.
363 20 12 00 PLT Okay. We're sacked - we're on - We got two gimbals

on a stop.
SPT-EVA All right.

1915
363 20 12 05 PLT We got a - a minute to go. Is there Slml ight in

the instrument?
|
CDR-EVA No, it 's drifting the other way.
SPT-EVA No, it's drifting the other way, but - -
PLT I'd - I'd say go ahead and finish this sequence.
SPT-EVA Well, I don't know what happens, whether you save

any film if you stop it.
PLT Well, you do, but I don't think it really makes

that - you know - you're probably still in the -
the hydrogen cloud, or whatever it is.
363 20 12 24 SPT-EVA Well, I doubt it. The error is built up quite

large. All right, what's it say when you build
up that large error?
PLT Okay. It says you go back to SI.
SPT-EVA Aw, that's a shame. Got this thing all rigged

up, Just perfect pointing.
PLT If gimbals approach their stops, and/or attitude

error exceeds 0.5 degrees in any axis, DAS -
Okay, we're going to have to do this.
363 20 12 59 SPT-EVA Well, there goes one dayside. Let's try it again
next time.
363 20 13 03 PLT (Tone) There's the alarm. Just a minute, let

me push that thing off.
SPT-EVA What was it, Bill?
PLT ACS MALF and CLUSTER ATT. Okay, I Just did the
INHIBIT, CMG CONTROL, nn_4nal H-CAGE. If $201
is operating at this time, point the instrument
well out of the Sun - -
SPT-EVA Let me turn the POWER - -
363 20 13 25 PLT Turn the POWER, OFF.
SPT-EVA Swing it to the - -
PLT - - and - -
1916
SPT-EVA - - opposite direction.
B63 20 13 33 SPT-EVA *** shame.
PLT You know , I could have done a - looking at this

now, after we did all those maneuvers, I thought
we were in good shape though.
SPT-EVA Yes, you got to keep an eye on the attitude error,

Bill.
PLT But we were all right, you see, when we first got
there.
SPT-EVA How were we when we started the exposures?
PLT We were off about 2 degrees in Z and about, oh,

0.2 of a degree in X.
SPT-EVA Yes.
363 20 14 01 PLT So it looked llke it may be all right. And - -
SPT-EVA Well - -
CDR-EVA Well, you know the first 3-1/4 minutes is what

counts in this thing. The next 3 m_nutes are
nothing but one frame soaking up a lot of photons.
PLT Well, yes, that's up to me to tell him. See I

was - Just the same time we got the warning tone,
the other tone you heard there was the timer.
SPT-EVA 0k_y ....
363 20 lh 32 (DR-EVA Want to take that cord and put it under the clip
again?
SPT-EVA Oh, yes.
SPT-EVA How much time left in daY, Bill?
363 20 lh 48 PLT 0ksy. Let's see; you've got 26 minutes. We do

have enough time, if I can get you back to attitude.
SPT-EVA What - what m-neuver time you got in?
PLT Zero.
1917
SPT-EVA Oh, Geez| Hey, don't do that.
363 20 15 12 PLT No. Just a second. You're asking me what time I

had in. That wasn't the time I would use.
SPT-EVA 0ks_.
PLT I had put in the - No, in fact I don't. I have

a 23 - 20-mlnute --_neuver time for the maneuver
back to SOLAR INERTIAL. Procedure says put that
time in there as soon as I got through with the
pointing for the comet - fine pointing.
SPT-EVA 0kay.
PLT Okay. Now we are settling down here. Do you

have - -
CDR-EVA How much daylight is left?
363 20 15 35 PLT 25, 25 minutes. Now my first question to you,

Ed, is can - are we close enough that you can
tweak me in?
f SPT-EVA To where?
PLT To put the - the solar panel occulting the Sun

again?
SPT-EVA Oh, what do you do 8nyway? I thought you had to

go back to SI.
363 20 15 53 PLT Well, not necessarily. The procedure says, "If

gimbals approach their stops and/or attitude error
exceeds 0.5 degrees in any axis, INHIBIT CMG control,
do a nominal H-CAGE. If S201 is operating, point
it away--
SPT-EVA Oh, okay.
PLT " - - 5 minutes after the nominal H-CAGE, _ABLE

CMG control. If S201 is - was interrupted,
repoint - repoint toward comet and resume exposures. "
SPT-EVA Okay, yes. We can do that again.
PLT 0kay, now.

1918
363 20 16 26 SPT-EVA What you've got to do is to go - But the positive X

was the one which occulted it, so you got to
go negative X, and I'm guessing i degree or so
ought to do it, i to 2 degrees. Why don't you put
in 2 and then we'll know what - we got something
to back up to if we have to.
CDR-EVA You want me to get out there in front again, Ed,

and look?
363 20 16 _6 SPT-EVA Yes, I think that's a good way, Jerry.
CDR-EVAOkay.
PLT So - -
363 20 17 07 CDR-EVA Oh, that doggone SOP is loose in here.
PLT Yes, I knew that was going to haunt us one of

these days.
SPT-EVA What is?
CDR-EVA Oh, that spare SOP that's in here. It's about

ready to drift out the hatch.
363 20 17 28 SPT-EVA How was it tethered?
CDR-EVA It wasn't.
363 20 17 33 SPT-EVA Just take one of those dog leashes and put it
around that light over there, Jer - that light
protector.
PLT Okay, Ed, so_J; which way did you say to go -

in negative?
SPT-EVA Negative 2.
363 20 18 08 SPT-EVA Okay, Jer, you're going to have to turn to your -

hold it, hold it. You're - you're - you're -
you're - you're _11 boun_ up in there.
CDR-EVA (La,_hter) You're telling me.

1919
SPT-EVA Hold on. Don't - don't - don't move because you

got the power cable taut. Let me get you out of
l this thing. First of all this DAC - Somehow
you got in the center here. Yes, sir. That.
Okay, now, let me Just give you a GCA to get you
out of that snarl. You got to go clockwise to
your right. Okay, now wait a minute - now wait
a minute - wait a m_nute. Power cable again here.
You have somehow managed - can you see it? Oh,
you can't ?
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA Tell you what to do. Disconnect the power cable ;

turn the power off and disconnect power cable if
you can.
363 20 19 07 SPT-EVA In fact, you see it's underneath your t_nbilical

there, Jer.
CDR-EVA 0kay.
SPT-EVA That's probably the easiest way - safest way.
F 363 20 19 22 SPT-EVA Okay, now here, let me Just pull on that power
cable, and I'll i_111 it out towards me and then
you can do your whifferdills.
CDR-EVA Which way?
SPT-EVA Take a look at you again.
363 20 19 39 SPT-EVA Again, I'd say to your right.
SPT-EVA Stop; wrong; Other right. Guess what I really

ought to do is - to - think if you - okay, yes,
I think you pretty much clear now. After this
last one I would stuff some of your _-hilical
into your - You got too much in there. Well, Jer,
you'll be cnm_ug out again. Why don't you Just
come on out?
CDR-EVA Let's get this power cable in this time. Don't

want to mess that up again.
SPT-EVA Oh, that's right. You're going to have to do that.

1920
363 20 20 28 CDR-EVA Okay, it's on. Okay, now I'll try to go out over
the top of it this time.
I
SPT-EVA That's right. I think you got the right idea
there. You go on out slow, and I'll watch your
tlnbilieal.
CDR-EVA All right.
363 20 20 49 SPT-EVA Okay, up to your left. Umbilical is good. Watch

your left foot - or your right foot. There you go.
Watch both feet.
SPT-EVA Watch your right knee.
CDR-EVA (Laughter)
SPT-EVA There you go. Okay, now; let's see how that
maueuver did us.
363 20 21 19 PLT Haven't started it yet, but the nominal H-CAGE

is bringing us back I think.
SPT-EVA I'll tell you what, that nominal H-CAGE prob-

ably brought us right back to where we .were.
363 20 21 29 CDR-EVA Ed, why don't you put it back in position now,
and I'ii watch the shadow? And if it starts to
head for the camera, I'll yell.
SPT-EVA Okay, I think we're okay because that nominal

H-CAGE essentially a_]owed us to null our attitude
errors, and we had a good attitude last time.
363 20 21 42 PLT Okay, I'm going to wait about another minute.
SPT-EVA What's the attitude error look like?
PLT Attitude error is down to 0.2 of a degree in X,

so you should be in good shape.
SPT-EVA Then is it decreasing?
363 20 21 50 PLT Yes, it is.
SPT-EVA Well - -
zgzz
CDR-E_A Oh, that's good. Whoa; don't point it any more

into the Sun.
r
PLT I'm nOte I'm- ,11 I'm going to do - -
CDR-EVA No, Ed. You didn't have to snatch it, Ed. It

was - it was doing all right. Just - Not any
worse.
SPT-EVA 0kay.
363 20 22 01 PLT Okay, now there's some more TACS firings. I'm
going to wait another couple of ,rtnutes,Ed,
before I reenable CMGs. Well - -
CDR-EVA Ed, you're - you're in good shape.
PLT We're in - looks like we're in fat city right now.
CDR-EVA Okay. Fine, Ed. The handrail' s going to keep

you from getting in trouble.
363 20 22 20 SPT-EVA That's good. Let me - let me get down here and
stsl_tmaking so_e - tweaking this one up here.
363 20 22 39 CDR-EVA Very good up here.
363 20 22 41 PLT Okay, I'm going to reenable CMGs. We're - The

attitude errors are zero in X, 1.9 in Y, 1.9 in Z,
which are _-_aterial. We're going to reenable CMGs.
And things are looking pretty stable right now.
SPT-EVA Are the rates - Are the attitude errors in Y and

Z coming out?
PLT No. Well, Just a minute. Stand by.
SPT-EVA They should.
363 20 23 04 PLT Yes, they are. They're starting to come out.
SPT-EVA 0kay.
PLT So why don't we wait until those are out?
CDR-EVA You're looking good, Ed.

i922
363 20 23 31 PLT By George, that procedure works.
SPT-EVA Yes, I thought that we were going to have to go

back to SI ; that would have blown the whole ball
gs_e.
CDR-EVA Okay, the sooner we can start, the better.
PLT I realize that, Jer, but I -
SPT-EVA Tell us what the rates - or the attitude errors are.
363 20 23 47 PLT Attitudes errors are now less than 1/2 degree.
Let's press.
SPT-EVA Well, okay, Just --
PLT That's - They're zero in X; that's the critical

thing.
363 20 23 54 SPT-EVA Well, you don't want to get a picture of something

moving. They're going to be out in Just a minute.
We'll be ready to go. Now yo u got the POWER, ON,
inside there, Jer?
363 20 24 04 CDR-EVA Yes, it's ON.
PLT Okay, our rates - our attitude errors are down

less than 0.2 of a degree; X is 0.2; Y and Z are
now zero. X is now 0.I. I say we're in good
shape.
SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT A11 right - -
SPT-EVA I'll - -
PLT Give me a mark.
SPT-EVA Well, I got to turn POWER back ON here again.
363 20 24 26 PLT Okay. POWER switch, ON.
SPT-EVA Does the pointing look good?

1923
PLT The pointing looks very good. Attitude errors are

zero, and let me know when you start.
363 20 24 36 SPT-EVA Okay, I got the -
CDR-EVA Looks good.
SPT-EVA Okay, you want to move out of the way, Jet?
CDR-EVA Yes, I'm well out of the way.
SPT-EVA Okay. Okay, Bill, I'll give you a mark here.

HOW'S the attitude?
363 20 24 56 PLT Attitude errors are zero.
SPT-EVA Okay, we Just saw that thing blink. Yes, picking

up where it was before. Let's wait'll this
sequence, whatever it is, settles out.
CDR-EVA Well, you can Just hit restart; it'll start over.
Do that.
SPT-EVA All right.

I
363 20 25 lO CC Skylab, reading you loud and clear, stateside

15 minutes - -
363 20 25 12 SPT-EVA Okay, now it's starting.
CDR-EVA 0kay.
PLT Tell me when.
363 20 25 14 CDR-EVA Roger, Story - -
363 20 25 15 SPT-EVA Now.
CDR-EVA We had a problem with attitude. We got started

with our first 201 exposure and the attitude
started drifting off. So we had to terminate and
get back on the attitude again. And we're Just
starting a new exposure.
363 20 25 29 CC Understand this is the second sequence, Jer.
CDR-EVA Yes, we're starting a new sequence now.
f
CC Copy.
CDR-EVA Okay, we're going up over - The Yucatan Peninsula

is coming up.
SPT-EVA Story, would you tell me what the exposure protoco

is here? What I'd llke to know is whether we
got a few good ones off on the first one before
we started drifting out.
363 20 25 55 CDR-EVA You take a few short-duration ones first?
SPT-EVA Yes, I d/d.
SPT-EVA Okay, I think we got a few good ones off initially.

However, when you do this, Story, you've got
about 2 seconds of Jitter in here while you're
hitting the RESET switch. And then it c,lmq down.
363 20 26 17 CDR-EVA Okay, the attitude's holding steady and the shadow's
very good. It's only about 1/2 inch from the
aperture ther - in the end of the canister.
SPT-EVA Very good.
CDR-EVA ... - -
CC Okay, did you have to go POWER, OFF and get the

instrument off the Sun?
363 20 26 29 SPT-EVA Say again, Story.
PLT Negative, Story. We had both outer gimbals on

the stop. I had to do a nominal H-CAGE and
reacquire attitude.
363 20 26 39 SPT-EVA The drift was taking us, Story, so that we were -
got more occultation of the Sun by the solar panel.
So we had no wo_i_j there. We did turn the instrument
off before we finished the first sequence and
pointed it towards plus X. I think we're getting
a good one this time though, Story.
1925
B63 20 27 05 CC About how far into the .3-_Inute sequence were

you when you had to do that, FAi?
SPT-EVA Well, we started drifting out probably around -

What? About 30, 40 seconds, maybe a m_nute or so?
363 20 27 16 CDR-EVA About a minute, I would say.
SPT-EVA Okay, and then I imagine somewhere around on

2 minutes is when we hit - -
t:_,T 2-1/2.
SPT-EVA - - RESTART - Probably hit the POWER, OFF. Do

you think we can get something if we try for a
fourth sequence. Is there any film in there under
those conditions, Story?
363 20 27 40 PLT Okay, Ed, our attitude is still very good. We

have 58 seconds to go in this sequence. And I
will talk you through the next exposure.
CDR-EVA Bill, these are 3 - 3-minute or 6-minute sequences

we' re doing?
363 20 27 52 PLT Well, it's 205 seconds.
CDR-EVA That's 3 minutes - 3 m_nutes and 24 seconds.
PLT 03 :25. And after an exposure sequence is complete,

we recheck the - the aiming, which is right now
pretty good, and then start the second - or next
sequence ; RESET switch to START - -
363 20 28 ii CC Bill, Houston,
PLT Go, Story.
CC Like i0 degrees clockwise on the REG BUS 2.
363 20 28 19 PLT Roger. Got about 20 seconds to go.
SPT-EVA How's the attitude errors looking, Bill?
CDR-EVA Looks great up here, Ed.
F
1926
363 20 28 30 PLT It's looking real good. It's all zeros.
CDR-EVA I've got the best - the best angle here to tell ',
you what they are. It hasn't moved a - a fraction
of an inch.
SPT-EVA Okay, very good.
363 20 28 38 CDR-EVA The shadow's very, very stable across the corner
of the camera.
PLT Okay, you do not - you do not hit - there's the

tone. You do not have to hit the_STOP switch.
A11 you do is you hit the START switch again and
let me set up the timer.
SPT-EVA Okay, I'ii give you one on my mark and l'm going
to see if I can start this thing with a little more
st ability.
CDR-EVA Okay, we're cr,,_ng out Just over the southern end
of the Yucatan Peninsula - southern side of it.
PLT Say when, Ed.
SPT-EVA Okay, I'll give you a mark. Stand by -
363 20 29 17 SPT-EVA MARK.
PLT 0kay. I got it. 29: 20 -
SPT-EVA Okay, that was a little better that time.
PLT - - 20:29:20 was the time on that.
SPT-EVA Story, l'd say we got pretty good pointing on this.

We can see exactly where the Sun is relative to
the solar panel. So I think we know where we want
it. We've got the Sun Just - or the solar panel
Just slightly - Just tangent and slightly inside
the field of view. Essentially, we do have a
scissors arm which is in there, but it's only
in the top portion and does not obscure very much
of the total field of view.
363 20 30 03 CC Okay, copy, Ed. And we'd Just like the three
normal sequences on $201.
1927
SPT-EVA 0kay, Story, will do.
363 20 30 i0 CC And, Bill, for your return to SI, we'd like to

see the 20-minute _-neuver t_-_ in this.
PLT I Just finished it.
PLT Okay, this is the last of that, ass,--_ng that first

one was good.
363 20 30 44 SPT-EVA You know the problem is, we probably had rates
building up in that first one.
PLT Yes.
CDR-EVA Heys we're over M_,m_. Looking right down on

the Florida Keys, Miami - the whole southern
end of Florida.
CC Your maneuver time's confirmed, Bill.
363 20 31 04 SPT-EVA Boy, I'II say. Look at that.
PLT Roger.
f_
CDR-EVA Story, for the Earth observation guys, I saw no

indications of the Yucatan Current. The area there
is quite clear. And neither in sunglint nor in
area of pl_n_ton blooming was there any indications
of the Yucatan Current.
363 20 31 33 SPT-EVA Boy, look at those cloud streets coming across

Florida; Just east and west all the way from the
southern tip, _11 the way to the - all the way up
to about the Florida boundary.
CDR-EVA Apalachieola. The ole Cape down there_ *** this

whole thing got started.
363 20 31 50 SPT-EVA Yes.
PLT I want to get my Hasselblad. Oh, I guess l'd

better get - get ready to -
CDR-EVA Okay, how much daylight do we have left, Bill?

1928
363 20 32 02 PLT 9 minutes.
SPT-EVA Okay, how we doing in terms of time on this thing?
363 20 32 07 PLT 37 seconds.
CDR-EVA Okay, your attitude's very good. The shadow hasn't

moved.
PLT Okay, stand by for a mark on a completion.
SPT-EVA Okay, should I see anything upon completion?
CDR-EVA I don't think so, Ed.
363 20 32 31 SPT-EVA Story, would we be getting these white flashes at

the beginning of the sequence.
CDR-EVA You didn't or you did?
SPT-EVA Did.
CDR-EVA Yes.
363 20 32 38 CDR-EVA 0ksy, there's Cape Lookout, Cape Fear - -
PLT Okay - -
CDR-EVA - - P-mlico Sound.
363 20 32 42 PLT Okay, that's it. That should complete it.
CDR-EVA And Marine Corps air station, Cherry Point.
363 20 32 50 PLT Okay, now when $201 data take complete, point $201
away from the Sun. Okay, I'm getting ready to go
ACS, ATT HOLD, CMG, to recenter deadband, and then
I'm going to INHIBIT CMG. We're going to go
SOLAR INERTIAL. So we're going to do - -
SPT-EVA Okay - -
PLT - - key maneuver here so - -
CDR-EVA You better point 201 in a safe direction or -

Ed_ D -
1929
SPT-EVA Yes, will do. Let' s turn the POWER, 0FF.
CDR-EVA A11 right, let me get down out of here and - -
363 20 33 15 E-EVA POWER is OFF. Let's put it over here to mlnus -

or plus X.
SPT-EVA Ok_ - -
PLT Okay, I'm ready to hit the SI switch.
363 20 33 32 SPT-EVA It's pointed; go ahead.
363 20 33 36 PLT SOLAR INERTIAL now. Okay.
E-EVA Sure em glad we got these photos of this one.

This one is going to give you some good information.
Pretty sensitive instrument.
CDR-EVA Okay, I have some more - -
SPT-EVA Good height to this ... over so we'll see it.
PLT You ready for some procedures on 201 for putting

itup?
363 20 3h 03 SPT-EVA Yes, sir.
PLT Roll spanefas - spacecraft bank to SOLAR INERTIAL,

and that's in work. Loosen adjustment knob.
Offset experiment about 30 degrees and tighten
knob.
363 20 34 14 SPT-EVA Okay.
PLT Place wrist tether on 201 and so forth. And all

you're doing is bringing it back into - -
CC Jer, Houston.
CDR-EVA Go ahead, Story.
CC Can you verify that you got the $230 clear?
363 20 34 28 CDR-EVA That's negative, Story. The $230 clip was missing,
About the only thing we can think is that the clip
must have gotten knocked off on the last EVA while
1930
we - by an umbilical or something, and we never

saw it. But we can verify that the clip was there
up until Just about the last EVA, or before that
because we have seen it out the - Oh, golly. I
can't rem_er which number window it is, but one
of the STS windows you could see - we could see
the clip. But apparently on the last EVA, one of
the 1-,_ilicals must have brushed it off.
363 20 35 04 CC Copy.
363 20 35 06 PLT And we'll be able to tell, Story, because I took

the contam4nation photographs of the $230 out
the -in the STS window.
CC Copy, Bill.
PLT Before the first EVA and after the first EVA. So
we should be able to pin it down pretty well for
Don.
363 20 35 29 PLT Okay, 5 minutes until sunset, l'm going to get

the Hasselblad and fix it up.
SPT-EVA Have you got the power cord disconnected, Jer?

The POWER, OFF, and the cord disconnected?
CDR-EVA Stand by • it 's in work.
SPT-EVA Okay.
363 20 35 46 CDR-EVA Okay, POWER is OFF and the cord's disconnected.
SPT-EVA Very good.
363 20 36 12 SPT-EVA Okay• I'll tell you what, why don't you take the
instrument and I'll try to get the power cord
squared sway for you.
CDR-EVA Okay. Bill• we got a fire sensor light on in here.
PLT Yes • I - -
SPT-EVA That - That' s ..., Je_'.

1931
PLT That 's normal.
CDR-EVA Okay.
363 20 36 28 SPT-EVA When you get a hold of it, I'ii take my wrist
tether off.
363 20 36 30 CDR-EVA I have it.
SPT-EVA You got it ?
PLT I have both of them INHIBITed.
CDR-EVA Okay. Had that been on for a while? I don't think

it has.
PLT They usually come on during EVA.
363 20 36 38 CDR-EVA Yes, I think they came on in the last 1/2 hour.
SPT-EVA Oh, let me get the cable out of the clip.
CDR-EVA Okay, there's no rush on that cable. It's going

to take me a minute to get over here.
363 20 37 ii SPT-EVA I want to take a look again at that part where

we pulled the - the covering off up here.
SPT-EVA Story, the part which we pulled off above the

hinge line of the airlock hatch - was part of that
believed to be originally in the Sun?
363 20 37 h6 CC That's affirm. Part of it in the Sun; part of

it in the shade.
CDR-EVA Well, the whole thing has a pretty uniform color.
SPT-EVA We did that at night, Story, but I could see

where it was. We're not in SOLAR INERTIAL now,
but it looks by projection that it's going to be
pretty close if even the tip of it was in the Sun.
363 20 38 28 SPT-EVA You know what we ought to get. This would be a

beautiful one right here.
363 20 38 36 CC Ed, 3 inches out of that 50 inches was supposed

to be in the Sun.
1932
SPT-EVA 3 inches? Tell you what, I can see it now. I

can see the grsxluation where that - where the
sunlight is and there's a miscalculation there
somewhere, Story, because that was not in the
Sun. You've probably missed it by about an inch.
363 20 38 58 CC Okay, we're 40 seconds to LOS, 5 minutes to Madrid.

Be dumping the data/voice there.
SPT-EVA 0kay.
363 20 39 ll CDR-EVA Now S020.
SPT-EVA Story, there is another place right above there.

It's beween F-9 and where the hatch locks are
snapped into. That has got about 3 inches worth
of Sun, 3 inches not Sun. And it's got covering
underneath it. I think if we had a pair of scissors
we could very easily snip along a distance of
around 6 inches and bring you back the kind of
sample you want. And underneath it is more insula-
tion so it doesn't look to be a thermal problem.
363 20 h0 00 SPT-EVA Story, did you copy?
363 20 40 02 CDR-EVA I think he's going over the hill right now.
SPT-EVA All right.
CDR-EVA It doesn't matter. It's on tape, Ed.
SPT-EVA We don't have a pair of scissors with us anyway,

do we?
CDR-EVA Yes, we do.
363 20 h0 14 SPT-EVA Oh, where are they?
CDR-EVA In the pouch.
CDR-EVA Oh, we had a - we got a temperature thing to take,

too.
PLT That 's right.
363 20 h0 20 SPT-EVA Yes, but now this thing is not in the right attitude.
I think they wanted that to have the exposure
attitude. Don't they, Jer?
1933
CDR-EVA No, I think it just says during the daylight pass.
363 20 h0 31 PLT That's what it says.
363 20 40 32 SPT-EVA But they assume that the thing is - is - is not

off-pointed. I'ii tell you what. We can get - -
CDR-EVA You're ass1_mlng what they're ass_,mlng.
SPT-EVA We can (laughter). You put it well.
CDR-EVA (Laughter)
SPT-EVA All right. We can go ahead and take a temperature,

and if they don't like it, we can give them
another one.
363 20 40 52 SPT-EVA How much time left, Jer and Bill?
PLT About 25 seconds.
CDR-EVA Shoot.
SPT-EVA Oh, shoot. Ccme on, let's -
PLT I'm getting ready to watch for the comet.
363 20 41 00 SPT-EVA Yes, I wish I had known that.
CDR-EVA Here it comes, Ed.
SPT-EVA Oh shoot! I can't even get out here to see it

because of we're -we're not at SI.
363 20 41 23 SPT-EVA Here comes what, Jer?
CDR-EVA The thermometer.
SPT-EVA Oh, let's forget the thermometer for a moment.
363 20 41 30 CDR-EVA I can't. I got it in m_ hand.
SPT-EVA Well, ceme on out here - -
CDR-EVA (Laughter) I can't forget it.
SPT-EVA Come on out here with it, Jet.
/
1934
CDE-EVA 0ks_.
SPT-EVA Come on, real quick.
363 20 hl 38 CDR-EVA I'm hurl_ing! One does not hurl7 in this game,
I'm finding out very quickly.
363 20 41 h5 PLT 0kay, I see it.
PLT Boy, that sunward spike really comes out!
CDR-EVA Did you see it, Ed?
363 20 41 57 SPT-EVA Yes, but I got the darn horizon.
CDR-EVA I'll tell you what, Ed. Let's get a quick visual
on S020 as soon as that thing sets anyway. And
we can tell them when we got it how close it was
to sunset.
SPT-EVA They needed a little thermal inertia in there.
363 20 42 38 PLT That's it. It's going into the airglow.
CDR-EVAOkay,here,Ed.
SPT-EVA Oh, shoot. I'm trying to remember.
PLT I could see the sunward spike down into the

airglow.
SPT-EVA Okay, was that sunward spike directly towards the

Sun, Bill?
PLT I - I don't think so.
363 20 42 56 SPT-EVA Do you think it was off a little bit?
PLT Yes.
SPT-EVA The tail itself looked as though it was antisun

but the sunward spike was not. It was inclined
a little bit to the right?
PLT Yes, that's correct.

1935
363 20 43 04 SPT-EVA Okay. That's what I envisioned.
I SPT-EVA Okay, Jer, where is that little fellow?
CDR-EVA Behind - turn one way or the other. Here you go.
363 20 h3 12 SPT-EVA Okay, can you turn some lights on?
363 20 43 14 CDR-EVA Oh, even if it were - you got your th1_mh in it?
363 20 43 16 SPT-EVA I got it.
CDR-EVA All right.
363 20 h3 54 CDR-EVA Okay, Bill must have the breakers pulled again.
SPT-EVA Bill, would you put the breakers in so we can

turn the lights on, please?
363 20 44 04 PLT Okay. The lights should be on. I pulled the

breaker to - wait a minute. All right. That
should have them.
363 20 44 17 SPT-EVA Okay, that's got it. Hello, Story.
CDR-EVA Bill, read the thermometer instructions, if there

are any.
PLT Okay. Stand by 1.
363 20 44 34 CC Go ahead.
SPT-EVA Okay. Story, we did not have $20 [sic] pointed

at the Sun during this last sequence because we
moved it out of the way for working 201. Do they
want a temperature measurement now, at the end,
even though we have gone into dark or would they
prefer to wait until the.next orbit?
363 20 44 58 CC Stand by i.
363 20 h4 59 PLT It says do it during the daylight pass.
CDR-EVA Yes, I know that, Bill, hut we Just didn't have

time. This is a noninterference thing. I suspect
we're going to not end up doing it.
1936
SPT-EVA Well, we could give the rest 20 exposures of this

orbit and get - get that done and be 811 set then.
363 20 45 34 CC Ed, you can go ahead and get the temperature of

the S020 right now.
SPT-EVA Thank you.
CC Okay, Ed.
CDR-EVA And then, Story, - Then, Story, are you going to

want to leave us out to do some more S020 exposures?
363 20 45 44 CC No; no more exposures on that and leave that thermal

cover. If we do anything on that at all, we'll
do that the next EVA.
CDR-EVA Okay.
363 20 45 54 PLT Okay. Okay. Do the following procedure: EV-2

retrieve thermometer from - from airlock module
pouch next to panel 316 and pass to EV-1.
CDR-EVA Okay; he's got it.
PLT EV-1, tether thermometer. Take temperature mea-

surement on S020 backplate at base of film advance
knob. Hold probe on backplate for 30 seconds for
temp stab; voice record temp.
SPT-EVA All right. Okay, Story, I think that we're going

to be wrapping it up pretty soon and maybe get
some more S020's the next time around.
CDR-EVA That 's it, Ed.
363 20 h6 39 CDR-EVA Is it on?
SPT-EVA Is what on?
CDR-EVA The temperature.
SPT-EVA No. You don't hold it on. You put the thing on
and then - then put it up.
CDR-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA Okay, I got it - I got it on there, Bill. Why don't

you Just tell me how long 30 seconds is?
r
1937
363 20 h7 01 CDR-EVA 30 seconds. I'll tell you when it's up.

P
PLT 30 seconds.
CDR-EVA Hold on, I'm rotating off with this thing. I'm
going to have to get at it again.
363 20 h7 lh CC Bill, Houston.
PLT Go, Story.
363 20 47 18 CC Bill, after you get back to SI and prior to enabling

CMG control, we 'd like a nominal H-CAGE. That 's
Just a--
CDR-EVA Is it on yet?
CC - - 52023. That's after getting back to SI and

prior to your CMG control ENABLE.
363 20 47 41 PLT Roger. Nominal H-CAGE after getting back to SI

but before reenabling CMGs.
CDR-EVA About 5 more seconds, Ed.
CC Yes, sir.
CDR-EVA Okay, that's 30 seconds.
PLT All right.
SPT-EVA I'll try to read this thing before it changes.

99 - it was 102 when I first pulled it off of
there. Unfortunately, I can't read it and put
it on there at the same time.
363 20 48 ll SPT-EVA Let me try it though.
363 20 50 17 SPT-EVA Okay, it's tethered. I'll tell you, Story, you
kind of hate to go inside. You kind of get to
enjoy your work. I'll say one thing, though, all
the training we've gotten and look at all the
facilities through NASA has really helped. Makes
us feel very at home out here; pretty familiar
with what you're doing.
363 20 50 45 CC Yes, sir. We're about 30 seconds to LOS. See

you in 20 minutes at Carnarvon at 21:18.
1938
SPT-EVA Okay. All the folks at Marshall and Johnson have
donea greatJob on thisEVA. ',

363 20 51 05 CC And, Skylab, all your systems are looking good.
SPT-EVA Thank you, Story. Thank you.
PLT Thank you, Story, and now you've got five pictures
of the comet with Hasselblad right on down into
the airglow.
CC Okay, Bill.
PLT Okay - -
SPT-EVA Okay, let's check around here and see what else
we got.
PLT Okay, let me pick up here. We sort of butchered

this up.
SPT-EVA We've got ourselves a DAC hanging out there.
363 20 51 46 PLT We're rolling back to SOLAR INERTIAL, loosen

adjustment knob, offset experiment about - 201,
we've got the 201 back in already. You got the
front cover on 201, Jer?
CDR-EVA Not yet.
PLT Oh, okay. I'll hold off, I'm sorry; I thought

we had done that.
CDR-EVA I forgot to do that. Right now I'm tethering

S020.
PLT Okay.
SPT-EVA You need another tether, Jerry?
CDR-EVA No, I'm all right.
PLT Okay, we are sort of putting everything together

here at once. I am going to go back and check
and make sure we don't leave something in the
wrong configuration.
363 20 52 51 SPT-EVA Still holding at 3.6.

1939
PLT Okay, give me an _ status check, please.
SPT-EVA 6 andno lights.
CDR-EVA 3.7, no lights.
PLT Roger.
CDR-EVA Wish we didn't have to put this cover on. Got to

be one of the biggest pain in the necks of this
whole thing.
SPT-EVA Hey, Jer, could I help you by holding it for you?
CDR-EVA I don' t think so. Nothing will help !
SPT-EVA Think that will do.
363 20 53 38 (CAUTION and WARNING tone)
PLT Okay, got an ACS MALF; stand by a few seconds.

Put _11 my paperwork up.
PLT CMG SAT. We 're okay.
363 20 54 25 CDR-EVA Okay, the cover's on.
SPT-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA Hey, Jer?
SPT-EVA Hey, Jer.
CDR-EVA Yes.
SPT-EVA Next EVA if you ever bring the DAC out, we've got
to get some pictures looking down this thing.
CDR-EVA Yes, we'd like - I want to get out on the Sun end
and take some looking back.
363 20 55 02 SPT-EVA Well, also, Just looking down here you see - you
know, Just looking down this great big barrel and
watching the Earth go by. With that shade on it,
that would tell the whole story ; it's really
beautiful. As we were whistling across Miami, I
was doing that and it was very impressive.
CDR-EVA Okay, let's come on in, Ed.

19h0
SPT-EVA Hate to do it.
CDR-EVA BringtheDAC with you. "
363 20 55 30 SPT-EVA I'm getting addicted to this stuff.
PLT Okay, we're coming back to SOLAR INERTIAL.
SPT-EVA Hello, DAC. The friendly DAC. Come on in there

friendly DAC, you can - -
CDR-EVA You can Just hand it up to me. There we go.
SPT-EVA In your way?
CDR-EVA Got it.
SPT-EVA Now, let's see. Let me check the hatch for

obstructions.
363 20 56 l0 PLT Okay, I'm going to do a nominal H-CAGE. We're

back in SOLAR INERTIAL.
SPT-EVA Okay.
SPT-EVA Tell me if I'm about to klutz it up.
CDR-EVA No, you're doing all right.
SPT-EVA Well, those darn things came out; did - didn't

they?
PLT Okay, the old TACS - -
SPT-EVA Those sightings.
PLT - - TACS is firing.
363 20 56 55 SPT-EVA Oh, well, we'll only be using them - won't be

using them ... any more ...
CDR-EVA Those what?
SPT-EVA The sightings for the 201 popped out again.
CDR-EVA Oh, yes.
SPT-EVA Let's see, now where the heck is the handle? Oh,
there it is -pull out.
1941
363 20 57 26 SPT-EVA Okay, nowwe'll pull it. Hold it. Okay.

b
SPT-EVA I can't rotate it through this direction. I'm
going to have to move over and ...
CDR Okay, Bill, the hatch is CLOSED and -
363 20 57 54 CDR MARK.
PLT 0kay, at - -
CDR Safety lock is locked.
PLT - - 57: 57.
PLT Okay, that was at 20:57:55. And I was not paying

too much attention there. - -
CDR About 3 hours and 30 minutes, roughly.
PLT - - I had the ACS MALF light there. I was -

0kay, - -
.... SPT Got anything in there we can help you with, Bill?
PLT No. I got everything cooking now. We're in a

5-minute nominal H-CAGE.
SPT Okay. We got the hatch CLOSED.
363 20 58 29 PLT AM egress - Let me Just read through here.
SPT Okay.
PLT The temp measurement has been done or to the best

to your ability.
SPT Yes.
PLT Check EVA hatch seal; you did that; ingress, et

cetera.
SPT Yes.
PLT EV-I and -2 comment on any observed dispersion

of- Okay, ingress airlock module, okay; airlock
module/VF operations.
SPT 0kay, Bill, don 't go through the whole thing.
PLT I'm Just - I'm Just making sure I don't skip any-
thing, Ed. Okay. Go to EVA - post EV-3 tab.
Okay. And now you've already done that. You have
replaced the hold-open rod, I assume.
SPT/CDR Yes.
CDR That 's done.
363 20 59 25 PLT And the spring - the spring catch is in position?
CDR Right. The hatch is CLOSED and latched.
PLT Okay, and I have voiced recorded the elapsed time,

and let me - I did not; I - I only recorded the
time that it occurred. And, okay, 20 - 03:28:55
_ras the elapsed time.
SPT Pressure building up in here, is it?
CDR Yes, it 's coming up.
PLT Okay, airlock repress. Apparently - No you're

not either; okay.
CDR Our pressure is already up to 0.2.
363 21 00 15 PLT Okay. Panel 318, LOCK COMPARTMENT DEPRESS VALVE,

CLOSED.
SPT Okay, that's right up here on the hatch.
PLT That's the one that you opened to get out, before
you got out. And you're going to monitor the pres-
sure for 2 minutes after closing this, and I'll
give you a hack.
SPT Okay, all those dogs we have engaged.
363 21 O0 50 PLT You do have the LOCK COMPARTMENT DEPRESS VALVE

CLOSED; is that affirm-tive?
SPT That 's affirm.
PLT Okay. I thought I got the cue; I started timing

when I heard you - -
19_3
363 21 00 58 CDR Okay, we are looking at 0.3 now on the pressure.
PLT Okay. Note: During repress EV-I and 2 SUIT

PRESSURE light will come on. CAUTION and WARNING
RAPID DELTA-P will be activated. CLUSTER PRESSURE
LOW may be activated. Okay, and you are - are
above 0.2.
CDR That's right.
PLT Okay, I'm moving over. Panel 311, PRESSURE EQUALI-

ZATION VALVE, OPEN; CLOSE after 30 seconds.
SPT Okay.
363 21 O1 48 PLT Stand by.
SPT 201 Just took off. Glad I caught it.
PLT You know, that's enough noise to last me for a

while.
CDR Sure is noisy. Okay, we are looking at about 3.8.
_- 363 21 02 34 PLT Okay, PRESSURE EQUALIZATION VALVE, OPENed, CLOSE

after 30 seconds ; I did that. Emergency Klaxon,
yes, it was. DELTA-P is going on, RAPID DELTA-P
and CLUSTER PRESSURE light on. WARNING TONE on.
206, MASTER ALARM, pushbutton light pushed. When
CAUTION and WARNING RAPID DELTA-P and CLUSTER PRES-

clear. CAUTION and WARNING MEMORY REC_T.L light off.
Okay. 312 FORWARD HATCH handle - -
CDR Best not open that hatch Just yet.
PLT No, No, that's -
CDB I don't know why they say open it for 30 seconds

because now you want to open it again and equalize
the pressure.
PLT That 's right, sure do.
PLT Okay, I'm Just taking my time here -
363 21 03 20 CDR Now, don't I need to do something here, too, in

the dome or the workshop.
194h
SPT I think, once we get the pressure equalized in the

MDA. I
CDR Okay.
PLT Release handle - let's see - -
CDR No, you - you - you - -
PLT - - That's not right. That's not right.
SPT You equalize pressure first, Bill, with us.
PLT Yes.
SPT And then we equalize pressure -
CDR Okay, Bill, we got h.5 in here, are you equal with
us?
PLT Yes, the valve is still OPEN.
CDR Anything rushing through it?
PLT No.
363 21 Oh 06 CDR All right then, we are equal. I'm going to start
equalizing now between us and the workshop.
PLT Okay, I'm going to start opening the hatch.
SPT Are you getting down there, Jer?
CDR Yes.
SPT Try not to push up to your left if you can, Jer,

there. That Nikon is fragile on the back of
that - -
CDR Yes.
SPT - - 25.
CDR Okay, the workshop is repressing us now.
SPT Hold on, Bill, we got an SOP.
PLT Yes.
1945
SPT Okay, go ahead.
CDR Here,letme takeit.
SPT No, it's - it's tethered. You're - We're ok y.
CDR All right, read on.
363 21 05 06 PLT Okay, when PRESSURE 0WS equals PRESSURE LOCK, push
hatch open to engage. And I'm sure Jer's already
cocked and primed to do that. Move to suit donning
station and verify high intensity light system 1
and 2, on. That's for EV-2 to do.
CDR Okay.
PLT EV-1, it says something about a VC tree which is

not applicable.
CDR Okay, how does that pressure look?
PLT Okay, pressure here is - 0WS is 5.1, FORWARD is 4.8,

LOCK is 4.8, AFT is 4.8.
CDR Okay. 48 to 49. Tell me when the workshop equals

the aft and I'll try to push the hatch open.
363 21 06 19 PLT I got five frames of the comet.
CDR Good.
PLT The Hasselblad.
CDR That's great.
PLT Looked like they were - I don't know how - how it

will register on that color film, but - -
CDR What kind of settings did you use?
PLT It was wide open, whatever that was, l/B0 of a

second. It was Just a - There - There's not an
exact f-stop number. It's the difference between
3.5 and4.
CDR Boy, I hope it worked.
CDR How are the pressures now?

19h6
PLT Stand by - Okay, the 0WS is indicating 5, almost 5.1,

the FORWARD is 5, looks like you may be able to get
itopen.
CDR Okay.
CDR Not yet.
363 21 07 21 PLT Okay, then it's Just not within the rauge of these
gages here to tell.
CDR Okay.
PLT Okay, when you push the hatch open, move to suit
donning - EV-2 move to suit donning station and
verify high intensity lights, on. EV-1 remove - -
CDR Oh, yes, I forgot.
PLT - - airlock module -
PLT EV-3, panel 311, open hatch and secure. Obtain -

That 's okay.
PLT There
we go.
363 21 08 20 SPT Just move out slowly, Jer, and I'll watch your
umbilical.
CDR Okay.
PLT Okay, EV-1 and 2 - That's right, Just move out

to the suit donning station. Go to post EV-1
and 2 cue card 3.2-1. Deactivate suit cooling 02
and comm.
PLT Okay, and I am supposed to manage your umbilical,

Ed.
SPT Okay.
363 21 08 59 PLT So let me come over there - -
SPT I tell you, I think that's probably enough for Jer.

I'll start on down there.
PLT Man, I don't know if I can get in here with all

this hardware.

363 21 i0 12 SPT Okay, it says PRESSURE Sk_RCT, OFF; tone, BEG 1

L0W FLOW, LOW VENT FLOW; and doff one glove.
PRESSURE SELECT, 0FF.
SPT Okay.
PLT Okay, I got to go _ABLE CMG control. I didn't

do that.
f SPT Let me help you, Jer. Hold it out, I can probably

get it.
CDR I think I got it.
SPT Okay.
SPT How'd your ears go?
CDR Good.
SPT Good.
363 21 ll 53 CDR Much better this time.
SPT Very good.
CDR This old valsalva device is really, for me, worth

its weight in gold.
SPT Oh, that 's good.
SPT I guess I'm lucky, I have big openings; they go

straight from one ear to the other.
SPT Fingertips again.

19h8

###
DAY 364 (AM) 1949
364 03 51 52 SPT SPT at 03:57, debriefing the ATM pass, which be-
gem at 01:S1 with the JOP lad maneuver. It all
went off straightforward. For building block 30A,
I moved the comet up to a position of minus 140 in
X.
CC ...
364 03 52 )44 SPT Stand by.
364 04 06 05 SPT SPT at 04:06. Continuing with the ATM debriefing

on JOP laD. That - that comet ended up pretty
much where it had been expected t_ be, at minus 70
in X and plus 60 in Y. We got the exposures all
as called for on the first building block 30 Alfa,
except 56 got - was about 1 minute short. We got
them going last, and when the others all timed
out, we moved on real quick to try to get up to
the next building block. And we'll try to make
that up to you on the Sun, Jim.
364 04 07 08 SPT On the second - the setup, or the pointing for the
second building block 30, that 's 30 Bravo, I tried
something, what I thought was going to be a fool-
f proof method. And that was we went to a position
of minus 120 in X, and we were going to go out to
plus 120 in X to see exactly where we were, where
we - where we achieved this error in Y would be.
And we would Just put in one half of that. And
as we went back to minus 120 in X, first off, we
would start from 120 in X, go to - and go to a
plus 120 in X, a total of 240. We'd then see what
the errors would be, and then make some fairly
easy compensations which could be used by going
back to minus 120 in X and then back into zero.
364 04 08 19 SPT Essentially Just cut the errors down by two, is

what we're - what we would do. Put the error in
Y in the opposite direction and - that's a very
easy way to calculate compensations for the error
in X. We did that; turned out we ended up, lo and
behold, right at 122 in X and zero in Y, exactly
where we had started. So we - the only thing we
had was a two - overshoot of two out of 240. And
that doesn't seem to make any sense in light of
the test we had done the other d_y. However, we
believed what we saw in front of us, so we went
ahead and Just moved right in from there.
f
1950
36h O_ 09 I0 SPT Moved in - near 121 in X and nothing in Y and

moved right in. Well, we did have to put a little
something in Y, because actually we were at 0.2 in
Y all the way along there, rather than zero. So
it worked out pretty well. We were getting subtle
counts on 55, I think a little pump noise, but
again, we tried to trace it down and that - that's
very difficult. We already spent a little time in
doing that. So the net result was we think - we
made the maneuver at 23, rather than Just started
the building block at 23. So we were about 2 min-
utes behind there. But I think that the whole
extra effort was worth me trying to get as closely
pointed to that nucleus as we could.
364 04 i0 04 SPT When we got 56 going, they got a 28-minute expo-

sure, SINGLE frame 4. 82B got the exposures as
requested. And they got a 2 minute and - or
5 minute and 15 seconds for their last exposure
which was left open; that was in WAVA_,_GTH,
SHORT, number 4 exposure. 55 got the MIRROR, AUTO
RASTER in every 5 minutes, giving them 25 minutes.
We got 52 exposures. And also 50 minutes for data
analysis.
364 04 i0 50 SPT It all went pretty well. SPT out.
364 04 l0 52 SPT Oh, a footnote here, we did take a look at the

comet in the white light display again. And it
was nowhere near as impressive in detail and in
_Imost every feature as what we had seen by eye,
outside. So if we'd only had a window inside this
spacecraft that we could look out and see the
comet, we could be giving you beautiful descrip-
tions. But I'm afraid we've got structure block-
ing us right now and it's Just not going to let
us tell you what it really looks like, other than
that brief glimpse we got today.

Earth observations. The specific target is HH57,
which is the Hawaiian Shield volcanoes on the is-
land of Hawaii was completely clouded over. The
only part that could be seen was the extreme
southwest corner of the island, which is, I be-
lieve, the lower flanks of Kilauea. I saw -
coming - now the general coloring of the - of the
1951
ground was sort of tannish gray - fairly light

colored - well, more of a slate gay - tannish
gray. And about - There were two long black
streams going down through this - this matrix of
- of slate, or tannlsh gray. And - and I tcgk
those to be black lava flows and I took two Has-
selblad i00 pictures of them one at a - well,
actually what you got is a stereo pair; they were
taken at 1 minute apart. And one is somewhat of
an oblique and the other one is almost directly
overhead. It could be they're too far apart to
be a decent stereopair. But at any rate, you got
one at somewhat at an oblique - a lower angle and
one from directly overhead.
364 0h 21 46 CDR We were coming up from the southwest going to the

southeast and this was right smack in our ground
track. There is very little - very little for me
to really say; I wasn't sure whether - at first
whether what I was looking at was water, or black
lava on the - on the tannish-gray matrix. But as
I got overhead and checked with the binoculars, I
could see that there was no foam or sediment or
anything in the water. And having been on that
_- volcano a few years back, I didn't remem - remem-
ber any huge rivers going down that way. So I
decided it had to be lava flows going into the
water. And so you've got good pictures of those.
364 Oh 22 27 CDR And that's about it; for the most part you got
clouds.
364 04 22 31 CDR This is the CDR, moving on to my next subject,

and that's - Let me get back to the Hawa - Ki-
lauea stuff. It was Charlie X-ray 52; frames
number 53 and 54; they were taken at f/ll, at
1/250. Okay, and these were done at about 01:06
Zulu. Then about 02:28 through 02:31 Zulu was a
pass over the Coral Sea and the Solomon Islands;
and this was pursuing the handheld 33 Alfa-5 sites
where we're looking for - eddies and things like
that in the Coral Sea.
364 04 23 12 CDR The sunglint was very good. I took three frames
of Hasselblad i00 at f/stop of 16, 1/250; and
these are frames 55, 56, and 57 of Charlie X-ray
52. The pictures were taken around the Solomon
Islands because it was in that area that you could
F _
1952
really begin to see some of the currents and eddies

that were - that were being caused. And you could
see it in the sunglint very dramatically. 55 is
southwest of the Solomon Islands, probably 250 miles.
And then 56 and 57 are right in among the islands,
Guadalcanal and sc_e of the other islands right
there, showing some of the eddies and the - and
the currents that are caused by the islands.
364 04 24 05 CDR Then at about 02:B3 we were out past the Solomons
and on to Nauru, N-a-u-r-u Island, and I took a
picture of that because I got the distinct impres-
sion that we had a cloud street starting to form.
We had a bunch of little - puffy little cumulus
popcorn balls down there, and they were trying to
line up and - and looked like cloud streets, but
also laid over the top of them were - were cumulus
arcs, much like the cloud patterns that you were
pointing out to us over in the - the current -
the Yucatan Current.
364 04 24 45 CDR So with that in mind, then I saw Ma - Nauru Island.

And Nauru Island had a nice vortex, some - a line
of cumulus clouds had formed as a result of vortex 4
- wind vortex over the island and had all formed
downstream on the lee of the island. And it's kind
of Just showed the whole wind pattern in that area.
So I thought that was a pretty useful picture to
take because it was Just a general picture of -
of winds, sunglint, vortices on an island caused
by the wind, or actually vortices in the wind
caused by the island.
364 04 25 27 CDR At any rate, it's a pretty generally interesting

picture to look at, I think. And that's frame
number 58. I took it at f/16 at 1/250 and that's
Charlie X,ray 52 magazine.
364 04 25 B6 CDR CDR out.
364 04 27 04 CDR This is the CDR at 04:26 Zulu, with a few more
words on HHBB Alfa, This is the cold eddies in
warm water in the Coral Sea around the Solomon
Islands. I've looked over the procedures a little
bit more, and I think there's a few more things I
can say. The - the pattern - the eddie pattern
was very localized around the islands on the two
frames, but the - the one frame around Nauru Island,
1953
I think was a rather general picture, and I would

say that in general that the cloud-street pattern
was more predominant than the arcs of c,1--,ulus
clouds that were laying over it. And in any of
these areas where I could see eddie patterns, of
current patterns, I could see no color dif?e_ent-
iation, and I think that's mainly because of the
sunglint situation.
364 04 28 07 CDR If you got a sunglint situation, you might as well

forget about looking for color differences because
then you're going to see textural differences.
And if you don't have sunglint, I think maybe you
can start looking for color differences. That's
essentially it. I wanted to make sure that the
word got in that I could see no color difference
becasue this was mainly a sunglint situation.
364 04 28 30 CDR CDR out.

TIME SKIP
36h 13 47 53 PLT PLT debriefing ATM pass started at 13:02. Started

out with the wrong ROLL and got two 82A exposures
at - at 5400 instead of zero. I noticed that Just
before ground called, I had Just turned the VTR on.
I was going to check my - get some coronagraph
during the ROLL. And I had already set all my
experiments up for the 1 Bravo and went back to -
So I went back to do the two 82A exposures at that
time and got all screwed up. I did - I intention-
ally did the 52 and 56 over again at the - let's
see; stand by.
364 13 _8 4_ PLT Yes, at the ROLL of zero. I had to go back to a

ROLL of zero. And I had already - 55 was already
- it was set up for GRATING, 3 SCAN, and I was
1954
going to give them a - a RASTER back at zero and

I started it in B SCAN and finally ended up Just
turning it off after fiddling around with the
switches. I saw that I wasn't going to have enough
time to do it. Okay, then I went ahead and went
to - back to 5400 after the two 82A exposures at
ROLL zero. Didn't see anything particulary excit-
ing in either - either in the corona or on the
disk. The rest of 1 Bravo was completed as per
pad except , I did exactly what it said on 54. I
- I assume that it stays - the shutter stays open
on that last frame, which means that when you
start the - hit the START switch on the second -
at the end of the 17 minutes to close the shutter,
that you also click off another three quick frames
and start another LONG EXPOSURE, I guess, which
doesn't stop until you hit the STOP switch at the
end of the orbit.
364 13 49 52 PLT VTR, I was - I got a little bit of WLC in there

with nothing on it right toward the end, but at
least I did get a few seconds of WLC at 5400 ROLL.
Got so screwed up on my timing that I did not do
any observing as such, and the rest of the building
blockwas executed per pad.
B64 13 50 17 PLT PLT out.

TIME SKIP
B64 15 B5 47 SPT SPT at 15:26 - make that 15:36. Debriefing the

first JOP 18D pass. Maneuver started at 14:16.
Okay, maneuvers all went pretty well. Were some
difficulties, however.
SPT With today's work was that we did not really have
a - I think an adequate - enough time to prepare
for it. We had an MIIO this morning which means
that l'm pretty much committed for almost an hour
and a half first thing in the morning. And then
there was quite an extensive pad here waiting for
1955
me on what the 8054 folks would like me to review,

a pad about the length of my arm; and there was
Just no way to do it.
364 15 37 07 SPT So I think we got a little rushed on the first one,

and even though we accomplished it, there were a
few minor points along the way which were not as
good as they could have been. Okay, at first
the - on the location which the comet was put was
minus 70 and plus 60. It came out pretty much
that, unfortunately, that is Just where the bar
which runs though the bright spot in the WHITE
LIGHT CORONAGRAPH lays, so that the comet was
underneath this bar and it was Just barely visible.
I had a - Knowing where you were trying to put
it, I had a hunch that that's probably where it was
and I could have maneuvered it out of there to
actually see it, had I not seen it at all. But
we ought to try to avoid that area in the future.
36h 15 38 01 SPT The first one went pretty well, first building
block 30. However, I think in the calculations
here there's not enough time for the maneuvering
to pick this thing up. It's not as straightfor-
f ward - I have not found the maneuveringlogic or
biases, if you will, to remain the same all the
time.
364 15 38 23 SPT And now I have had to try to figure out what it
really was by making one test case; did that by
positioning it exactly where I wanted it and then
moving it in. That took - always takes a little
bit more time.
B64 15 38 5_ SPT Okay, we started them off, and we had the problem
with the 82B door. I pressed on anyways, seeing
as the instrument did get an OPERATE light. I
did not have ar_ time to troubleshoot. I did
take the exposures as specified. 55 we got run-
ing; however, due to an oversight and again hur-
riedly reading the pad, I did not notice they had
changed the GRATING position one notch until the
call. We did get the NO INTERLOCK, although that
was a little bit later.
CC ... off the DAS ...
CDR Roger, Karl. I got one ... film settings.

1956
364 15 40 00 SPT Okay, we started off 56 at 14:36 and our exposure

went to 15:18. Hold on. I've got the ATM confer-
ence now, and I told you I had ...
364 15 hO 14 CC ...
364 15 49 51 CDR Thank you.
364 15 50 l0 SPT SPT again, picking up on the debriefing for the

last 18D ATM pass. It's presently 15:51. Okay,
the exposures for 56 went from 14:36 to 15:18.
82B got their WAVELENGTH, SHORT 5 seconds. WAVE-
LENGTHs, SHORT 1 minute, SHORT 6 minutes, and
then one LONG as possible which went from 14:43
to 15:18. We ahd the door-close problem Just as
we started the maneuver out away from the comet
to then start a reacquisltion, so that the door
would - it was cycling the power from the ground.
Stopped the instruments; so we had a period there
of around l0 minutes, or I would guess - I hope
you could tell from the tapes when the door was
closed.
364 15 51 04 SPT However, during that period of time we were not

closed to the nucleus. We were working trying
to reacquire again. 55 got MIRROR, AUTO RASTER,
all 0676. To start off with, I neglected to see
that they had changed that in the pad. It looked
like a line had printed twice so I did not notice
the num- the last number had changed. So I did
not then change the 7 - 0677 until the ground
called. We did get at the very end a - a GRATING,
AUTO SCAN, NO INTERLOCK. Also missed the ... in
18. Okay, one thing was rather disappointing, I
made the compensation maneuvers, and again I put
the compensation maneuvers in Y every 5 minutes,
rather in every 2 minutes which I figured to be
the total of two extra maneuvers. They should not
have been in there, so it was actually 0.02 of a
degree off in Y. However, when I did get all done
and I had planned to move it out, I wanted to move
it out to minus 120 in X. I made the maneuver I
thought that would - should have done that, and I
ended up at minus ll0 and minus 14, with an error
of l0 in X and 14 in Y. So somewhere in there
we've got a - either there was a procedural pro-
blem on my part or motion compensation does not do
the Job. I'm not sure which.
1957
364 15 52 46 SPT It was not obvious to me that I was doing any of

it wrong and it - were a few there except for the
- what I got all done and reread - had time to re-
read the pad and find that the motion compensation
- I concluded wrong on it. As far as moving the
canister or m_ving the - the pointing, I thought
it went pretty well if - when initial acquisitions.
That is, I could pretty much put it where I wanted
using the display without compensation, except for
a very small amount in X, maybe 1 percent in X.
And there is a very small misalignment in roll
which I could compensate for in Y, maybe one -
one unit, keep going over 100 units. And that was
no problem.
364 15 53 50 SPT So in general, the first one was not too smooth
in that we did not end up where I thought we
should have, even though Bill at one time was
also up here and he was looking at that MIRROR,
AUTO RASTER and was seeing some relatively high
counts. So maybe we were close to it; I'm not
sure. We'll take a look at this next one in de-
tail.

the coastline of Brazil near the town of Salvador.
I guess the area of interest or the - the - the
point of interest in the photo - photograph is an
area in sunglint in the ocean that looks like
some sort of upwelling or something, but there is
no indication of plankton. This is very, very
dark. And it's a difference in surface texture
because it's in sunglint. There's no indication
anywhere in this area of the - the plankton
blooming or the upwelling - the blooming that's
brought up by upwelling. However, there are some
definite indications in the sunglint of current
flow there. And this one little area off of a
little town Just slightly north of the town of
Salvador on the Brazilian coast, is sort of a
finger of dark water and dark as compared to the
rest of the water, which was in a sunglint. I
would estimate this, well, heck, I don't know
1958
why I should estimate it, you folks can see it -

you will be able to see it better on the photo-
graph. But it's probably, oh, 4 or 5 miles wide
and about l0 or 12 or 14 miles long.
364 16 28 51 CDR And it extended from north to south. And the

magazine is Cba_lie X-ray 52. This was taken
at 1_:55 Zulu, and it's frame number 65, and
it was taken at f/ll in the Hasselblad 100,
at 1/250. And then at 15:ll, as we were coming
up over North Africa *** over the Sahara I
noticed a great - a great arc_ of what at first
I thought was cirrus clouds.
364 16 29 38 CDR It was very thin sort of veil and I had a very
sharp line of demarcation frc_ clear to this
cloud. And then after a little bit of thought,
I decided that maybe what I was looking at was
windblown dust or sand from the Sahara. Now
hold on Just a minute; I'm going to get the map
and I'm going to describe the arc on the map and
then give you a few points in latitude and
longitude so that you can transfer this arc to
your map. It was a huge arc and I thought it
was very interesting. I think it's dust and the
wind must have been blowing from the south and
southwest because the blust - the dust carries
out over the water.
364 16 30 21 CDR So stand by and let me get some map points.
364 16 30 59 CDR All right, put your first map point at 28 degrees
latitude and 22 degrees east longitude.
Correction- no, that's 13 degrees east longitude.
In other words, it 's in Algeria and it 's south-
east of_HH69. By the way, this is the dlrectica
in which I took the picture; I have not looked up
HH69, but I suspect it's probably dunes and this
particular show - particular picture shows star
dunes and then beycad the star dunes is this line
of demarcation. So you have one point now at
13 east longitude and 28 north latitude. All
right. Start your arc and make your next point
at 30 degrees north latitude and 22 degrees -
correction, all right, I'm getting so I can't
even read a map any more. You're first point is
28 degrees north latitude and 5 - 7 - 8 degrees
east longitude. Your second point, make it
1959
30 degrees north latitude and ii degrees east

longitude. All right, your next point should
circle right over Tripoli, the city of Tripoli.
And then your - you should bear off to the left
and your arc should go between Palermo, Sicily,
and Tunis.
364 16 32 44 CDR Right through the middle of the straits there.

And probably go on over and nick the southern
tip of Sardinia. So, you can see that the huge
circular arc and to the north and east of this
arc was all hazy and - _nd I suspect it was dust.
And to the west of that arc it was _extremely
clear, as you'll be able to see in the picture.
This picture is also a Hassleblad i00 shot. It
was taken at 1 - correction, f/ll - f/ll, 1/250,
and it's - Charlie X-r_7 52 is the magazine for
this one. And it was taken at 15:11 Zulu.
There's one thing we did notice all through
norther - or central Algeria, as we were coming
up from Mauritania, was the striking linear
pattern chains or linear strings of dunes.
You'd - the matrix - the background matrix of the
desert was a rather plain gray and then you would
have these long strings of reddish sand and in -
in the string of sand would be a chain of dunes
transverse to the - to the long string of red
sand. And these chains were all parallel from
northeast to southwest.
364 16 34 28 CDR CDR out.
364 16 34 39 CDR Okay, this is the CDR at 16:35 Zulu, with a couple
of remarks about the Falkland Current. Earlier
this morning I had an opportunity to Just glance
out the window as we were coming over South America
and it was, let's see - Let me - Stand by and
I'ii figure the time for you.
364 16 35 19 CDR Okay, the time was about 14:45 Zulu, as we were
on our trajectory, coming up Just inland of the
Golfo San Matias and Bahia Blanca. And between
Montevideo and Puerto Deseado, you could see
the Falkland Current again very, very plainly,
the long light green, almost fluorescent-looking
light green, serpentine current, moving its way
to the northeast.
1960
36_ 16 35 53 CDR I found another patch of red; I would estimate the

patch of red to be 15 to 20 miles wide and
25 to 40 miles in length. And as in the previous
case, that I've seen a field, the time before
and this time, the red was well within the - the
pl_ton blooming or the green that we could see
that characterized the current. That is, it was
surrounded - it was - it - I never did see the
red adjacent to the blue of the ocean. It was
always internal to the - the light green of the
current itself. And I think that kind of helps
support, maybe, the idea of this red tide thing -
that it's a plankton bloom or decayed plankton
and - the yellow - the yellowish-green, the very
bright green that surrounded this - this red
area that I could see was very, very brilliant
green. I would say slightly more brilliant than
the - the norms_ green you could see that's been
characterized in the F_1_land Current. There
was only Just this one patch, and this patch was
located Just off Golfo San Matias. And then as
we moved on up between Bahia Blanca and
Buenos Aires, I could see the area where the fire
had been in the pampas. It was pretty much under
control and out, but there's a rather large -
blackened area there.
36h 16 37 32 CDR I did not have a camera handy at the time or

I'd probably should have taken a picture of the
blac - the flre-blackened area in the pampas.
I think Ed got some good pictures of that
yesterday, so maybe it would Just be a waste of
f_]m. I did, however, notice that along the
coastal area between Bahia Blanca and Buenos Aires
the wheat - the wheat area that we have looked
at before. I looked over scme of the wheat
patterns with the binoculars and I do believe I
see more light-green fields and the overall
general color, you know, from Just a quick look,
is the tan and the browns and the very dark green
occasionally. But when you begin to look at
it a little more closely with the binoculars, I
do feel that I can see more light green coming
in, which indicates they - they've got a crop
getting started or something getting started
down there. I noticed this time also a scattering
of nice brilliant green fields, not the very
dark green indicating older vegetation. This is
1961
newer, fresher vegetation and then also scattered

in about, I could see some areas where there is
so much lighter green, where it's Just brand new
vegetation coming in. So it appears to me that
in the Bahia Blanca to Buenos Aires area near
the coast where the wheat-growing area is, it
looks like they're starting a new crop.

go backwards to get that. Uh-oh, we got a TILT
problem. It goes to 34 and then stops. It
starts flipping. Oh boy.
CDR Okay, I got 358.4 going backwards on the TILT.

PLT ...
364 17 03 27 CDR Okay, I Just had a short discussion with the PLT
to see what his knowledge was of it. And I
guess that TILT - maximum TILT is about right.
1963
I was thinking you could get more than that.

Going backwards to 358.3, I Just couldn't get it.
l've got 358.6 now. I had it and I tried to lock
it at 358.3. I got 358.4 and now it's Just slowly
drifted up to 6. And I hope this isn't mes -
messing up your exposure, but it is fully locked.
And there's apparently enough spring in the gear
in - in the system that it's now drifted from 4
to - 358.4 to358.6. We're passing 70 percent.

JOP 18 Delta pass beginning at 17:36. Correction -
Let me give you the right time on that.
SPT At about 14:00, section 56 received their 40-minute

exposure; 82B, a SHORT WAVELENGTH at 6 minutes;
for the one that was long as possible, somehow
got truncated; it got cut off from 16 - after
1967
16:10 at some point, we reinitiated at 16:24 and

went from 16:2_ to 16:52 for a total of 28 min-
utes. And there was an intermediate one in there
which could have been up to 14 minutes long. 55
received her MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs as ... in the
GRATING, AUTO SCAN. However, I Just noticed that
we still have the position of - the mirror at line
25 rather than at the other line at line 9. So
the first two building blocks were done with it
at 25. So the third one I will move it up to
line 9.

one was done at ll30, for the first building block,
and the second building block that's the JOP 18
series today. And the second - the last one was

364 19 35 ii SPT SPT at 17:35 [sic], weather observations for sub-

Ject, handheld photos. For the observation on
this one, looking at rather large, flat, fairly
thin clouds, looking very much llke well out over
the ocean, a fair weather system. There's stratus
and some relatively low clouds, no cumulus activ-
ity. I see some fairly large clouds which are -
I can see patches. They look more like lily pads,
if you will, around 80 to 100 miles or so in
diameter. But what's striking about each one of
them is they seem to have a backbone. That is,
there's a ... running right up the center of
them, little branches coming off maybe more like
a leaf of a tree. I've seen this several times
now, and I wondered whether it's worth a picture.
Maybe it's something you folks al- already know
1968
and think maybe understand. But I've seen a

large number of them and they're very consistent.
In my own mind I cannot figure out why they ...
look that way. I'll Just call them for now the -
the clouds with backbones.

That information is for the M151 people. The
PLT's left leg measured 13-1/4; his right leg,
13-1/8. His legbands used were Charlie Juliett
on the left and Alfa Quebec on the right. The
run was terminated at 19:30 Zulu, and there were
no problems. The PLT came through with flying
colors. Indicated no symptoms of any kind. We
then shifted right over into the M093 run and
worked out on MD93 with 300. And I'll give you
a call on termination.
36h 19 50 43 CDR CDR out.
364 20 04 54 CDR This is the CDR at 20:04, reporting termination

for M151 folks. Termination of M093 at 20:00
even. And moving on to a new subject, the next
subject is Earth observation, handheld photos of
the Guatamala, Honduras, Nicaragua volcano area.
And the target number is HH109. The weather was
extremely good over the entire area there, the
Honduras peninsula. So I elected to go for
photography rather than much in the way of visual
observations; it was so much better weather than
usual. I went - this time I tried the - the Nikon
300 handheld. This - I don't know how well it
worked out, but I took l0 frames, frames number 65
through frame number 55, in the Nikon Charlie
X-ray 37. The f-stop was f/ll; it was 1/500.
And what I did is I started at the southern part
of the coast around Managua, and I Just started
clicking 300-millimeter frames trying to overlap
them slightly, all the way up the coast to -
almost to Guatamala City. I tried to keep the
ocean in the very, very bottom, Just generally
1969
in the bottom of the frame so I could get much

of the inland as possible.
36h 20 06 33 CDR I got the whole Bay of Fonseea in one - one picture.
And I hope that I've got a good B00-millimeter
coverage now of the entire volcano chain arec..
And then I grabbed the - and I also moved up into
the fault valley area around Lake YoJoa; YoJoa,
Y-o-J-o-a. And I worked from there down toward
the coast along the valley that I could see there.
I think I got about 3 or - 3 frames or maybe 4
frames of 300-millimeter pictures there.
364 20 07 09 CDR So we got a lot of 300-millimeter pictures. I

Just hope that the f-stop which I picked is sort
of a general because of the little puffy clouds
that were down there. I hope the f-stop was
right; I maybe should have used f/8. And I hope
I was able to hold it steady enough. I tried to
put in a little bit of image motion compensation.
A little side note here for the photo people. I
wonder if it might not be a good idea to shift
the shutter speed to i/i000 in order to help
compensate for this and maybe open the shutter
F Just a littlebit. Would you give us an answer
on that question, please?
36_ 20 07 49 CDR Getting back to this, I did not have much of an

opportunity to do much looking. The - the weather
was Just so nice - it was - there were so many
good opportunities for good photos, I really didn't
spend any time looking. But you could very defin-
itely see - definitely see curved valleys down
around Lake YoJoa. And I'm looking forward to an
opportunity to get some binoculars on that area
and look at it very carefUlly. As I moved up the
coast you can almost see a line of volcanoes; it
is very cl - very clear from up here. I also took
some Hasselblad photos. The Hasselblad photos
were taken in the north - in the north central
area of Honduras, up in the area where you showed
the fault lines on your sketch, on example 10-7.
I took two Hasselblads to kind of cover that area
in general. There was scoutered - scattered clouds
in that area.
364 20 08 _9 CDR And I also went on ahead and took two Hasselblad
pictures of cloud formations out in the Gulf of
1970
Honduras, I guess it's called, between the Yucatan

peninsulas and Honduras - Yucatan peninsula and
Honduras peninsula. And I grabbed a couple of
pictures of the cloud formations in the water out
there. I could see no signs of the Yucatan Cur-
rent although I did again see the - the cloud -
pattern of cloud, cumulus arcs kind of crossing
over - little cloud streets of little cumulous
clouds. So I think that might be of value.
364 20 09 27 CDR I took - I took one picture - I've got to change

the log a little bit. Number 55 - frame number 55
- stand by. Yes, the 300-millimeters taken of the
Honduras-Nicaraguan area were 65 through 56. Frame
number 55 is a picture of Miami. It's an oblique.
But Miami was pretty clear and I thought I might
Just knock off a shot of that in the 300 to see
if that might do the metropolitan study folks any
good. And - I guess that would cover site number
148-7, the Miami picture.
364 20 l0 24 CDR The Hasselblad pictures are as follows: Charlie

X-ray 52; the f-stop was f/ll; the speed was 1
over 250. Fr8_mes number 70 and 71 were taken out

TIME SKIP
364 21 37 58 CDR This is the CDR at 21:38 Zulu debriefing the

20:40 Zulu ATM pass. I did a JOP 6, step 2,
twice, building 20 - building block 28. On the
first one it all went according to the schedule
except that I shortened the EXTENDED STANDARD
52 MODE by 2 minutes in order to get some WHITE
LIGHT CORONAGRAPH looking time and in order to
get a - a Polaroid picture for today. The XUV M0N
I took a look at; got a Polaroid picture of that
and it's very, very uninteresting looking. We
have some glow on the - Just below the - Just
south of the east limb - correction, the west
1971
limb. We have a very faint, bright area coming

around the east limb. We have one bright spot
almost exactly at the center - not very bright but
just brighter than the rest, in the background.
Also another bright spot at 7 o'clock from _t at
about 0.2 of a radius out. A larger, brighter
area at 50 percent of the radius out, at 8 o'clock.
And looking over at the west limb I see our big,
bright area is at - at 3:30 and there's another
little bright area going over the limb at 2 o'clock.
The - Doesn't look like there's too much action at
all. WHITE LIGHT CORONOGRAPH picture I got shows
nothing in the way of interesting streamers.
364 21 39 49 CDR The streamer on the east limb is very broad based,
very difuse. It extends out quite some distance.
The streamer area - The streamers coming out of
the west limb are very, very wide and very difused.
No - no really well defined streamers or anything
like that. Then the next building block 28 I did
went strictly according to schedule with the GRAT-
ING in on S054. The 54 guys - I got you three or
four extra little frames of the Sun because I
f reached up - After you were all finished and had
your goodies there, I reached up to cycle S055
at line 13 and I grabbed your switch and cycled
you so I pickled off a few frames before I got
it stopped and up to the right switch. At 1 min-
ute to go I did the atmospheric extinction, JOP 7,
step 2, and I had no problem with that. Got 52
done right this time. We were at a ROLL of B000.
I left it at 3000 and did not powerdown for unat-
tended since I think Ed's due up next here. And
that's Just about it. Nothing new and special in
the solar area.

364 23 25 34 SPT SPT at 23:26, debriefing the ATM JOP 18 Delta, and
the first one of the afternoon session. Okay. It
all went pretty well. The first slight difficulty
encountered was at the position which, when we
meuvered -maneuvered to, had the comet inside of
a region where I could not see it. That is, there
was too much magnetic functioning in the 52 field
of view. I had to maneuver it out the plus-Y axis
a total of 80 in octal in order to see it. I sug-
gest that we try to maneuver it so it's always
outside of ll0 in octal. Then I checked to make
sure we really were going to be looking at the
tail at the locations called out, and indeed we
were. And it took a little longer to verify all
that and get it - get it maneuvered properly. I
just kind of wanted to m_ke sure we were looking
at the right thing.
364 23 26 50 SPT So on the exposures on the first, we'll give it

to you - rather 45 ar - for 56 we got 37 minutes.
We got 37-1/2 minutes for 82B. And 52, having a
misunderstanding on the intent of that number C,
apparently, if you want to truncate at 6, that
means you want one at - one at zero, one at 5,
which would mean that you wanted two and I gave
1977
you six. So you got four extra in there. 55 re-

ceived essentially what was requested there. The
two MARs and the two series of MARs and a GRATING
SCAN, no interlocks.
364 23 27 40 SPT In looking at the comet by eye, not on the white

light coronagraph, you could no longer see that
fine detail. Pretty much boiled down to a central
dot again, with Just very barely being able to see
the direction of the tail. But by eye, out the
window now, and searching with a pair of binocu-
lars, we are able to follow the - ... slight
changes in it. I think I've given most of the
discussion on the air-to-ground and so has Jerry.
One thing, I would - I'm Just wondering about if
people have been speculating that perhaps the
sunward spike is really that - what used to be
old tail trying to swing around. That's a possi-
bility. I'd just like to throw another one into
the hopper.
364 23 28 28 SPT I would anticipate that because of the solar

heating on the Sun side of this, that a fair
amount of material would vaporize and boil off.
And this materialwhich is - receivesthe largest
solar flux. That is it should be normal to the
sunlight, should boil off at a higher rate and
also probably with a higher escape velocity or
higher velocity - thermal velocity as it comes
off. Therefore, it would go out further and this
would give you a spike. It's a possibility. I'm
sure it's been thought of before, but in looking
at it, that's what comes into mind, and also the
time correlation.
364 23 29 15 SPT Now the fact that it's - Jerry said it has horns -
I have not yet been able to detect that. Maybe I
will when I get dark adapted enough to really see
it. I'll try that after we get finished with this
JOP 18D.
364 23 29 33 SPT SPT out.
364 23 29 36 PLT Okay, the PLT recording the initiation of the

90-second widened of field 289 on time. And I
put the frame in Just before I got through twist-
ing the knob, so I was a little hasty on the
putting the frame into position. You may see a
f
1978
streak on the plate. Okay, we're 50 - 50 percent

through the 90-second widened. Field, 289; ROTA-

###
DAY 365 (AM) 1981
365 00 16 15 CDR This is the CDR at 00:1-6 Zulu. The subject is

visual observations. The sites that were assigned
were HHlll, HH108, and HH126. We were ascending
up just to right - al - _Imost exactly over the
Los Angeles basin. Quite frankly, I had some
factors working that made it very difficult to
really get all the data that I wanted to get.
I guess it was impossible to even try, but I was
lucky at BaJa trying to get some good photos of
BaJa California.
365 00 16 51 CDR And also, looking at the LOS Angeles basin because
that area is home for me, trying to see the San
Andreas Fault at the same time. And quite frankly,
I was like a dog in a butcher shop. I didn't know
which way to turn. I had Bill with me, the PLT
with me. We had the Hasselblad and the 300-milli-
meter Nikon, and we each took some pictures with
both.
365 00 17 13 CDR I'm going to have him debrief his separately. I

think we could see the San Andreas Fault very,
very plainly. There was no doubt where it was,
I think. And I'm going to need a couple more
looks at that area before I really feel confident
about that. I was unable to see too much in the
BaJa area.
365 00 17 32 CDR And I really - All I did was snap off a couple
of pictures and then diverted my attention to
the Los Angeles/Orange County area. The pictures
I took with the Hasselblad 100, and the frames
that I took were number 81 and 82 and 83 of
Charlie X-ray 52. These frames were taken at
22:54 and 22:55 Zulu. 81 and 82 are HHlll, the
northern end of BaJa California. They're not
quite overhead; they're more Just slightly oblique.
The Sun angle is fairly low.
365 00 18 17 CDR We used - I guess the Sun angle was on the order
of 30. Let me quickly check my pad. And my pad
said the Sun angle was 20; so I think maybe we
used the wrong f-stop. We used f/16 at 1/250.
We probably should have used f/ll or m_ybe even
wider. But at any rate, those three pictures
were taken with the Hasselblad by me, and then
Bill's got some to report later.
365 00 18 52 CDR The Nikon 300-millimeter-lens picture that I took

were of the Los Angeles basin. I took that one
1982
at 22:55. And that was at an f-stop of 5.6 for

the 300-millimeter lens, and that was at 1/1000;
5.6, 300, 1/1000.
CC ...
365 O0 19 40 CDR Okay, the frame numbers on that Nikon are frame
number 50, number 49, and number 48. Correction -
correction: The frame numbers are frame num-
ber 48, 47, and 46. The first frame, number 48,
was taken at 22:55, and that's the Los Angeles
basin. I think, essentially, what we included
was Los Angeles and Orange County down - down to
around Da - Dana Point, I believe.
365 00 20 14 CDR The next two pictures were 22:57, and they were
of the Grand Canyon. 47 and 46; those were also
taken at 5.6 and 1/1000. We did not get a chance
to get a shot of Phoenix. We could not locate
Phoenix very quickly. We did, however, see
Meteor Crater. It was very, very evident. But
it was disappearing under the radial docking
port, and we did not get a chance to get a pic-
ture of it; so we certainly hope we get another
whackat thatarea.
365 00 20 52 CDR But Meteor Crater Jumped right up at us; we could

see it ...
TIME SKIP
365 00 51 21 SPT SPT at 00:51, debriefing the last 18 Delta pass

for the day; began at about 23:50. Looked at it
and put the nucleus at minus 70 X, plus 60 Y, and
did the first building block - the 30 - the pass -
building block 30C. 55 got their MIRROR, AUTO
RASTERs, and 52- -
CC ...
SPT - - got their three single, 1-second exposures

and FAST SCAN for the remainder of the 5 min-
utes.
365 O0 52 47 SPT Okay, the next one was to roll the canister, and
I sufficiently overlaid between - while we were
1983
taking the 5-minute FAST SCAN on the first build-

ing block. Then we came up all set to go and -
did the maneuver you required to get it equal to
zero; this is the nucleus at the center. Gave
the 82B WAVELENGTH, LONG for a minute and a half
and 8 minutes WAVELENGTH, LONG. 52, I gave it
two frame exposures in FAST SCAN; gave it some
time.
CC ... data take ... PLT ...
365 00 53 55 SPT And throughout all the data take, I was doing
motion compensations, which again was - Matter
of fact, for this whole afternoon pass it was an
attitude of plus 0.01 of a degree in X and the
... of plus 0.01 of a degree in Y. And 55 got
their GRATING, AUTO SCANs. I already started
off with a MIRROR, AUTO RASTER to see if I could
find it, at the nucleus - to find the nucleus,
but I could not.
365 O0 54 52 SPT Then I maneuvered the - for the last building

block - building block 30 Echo or E. I maneu-
vered the comet out so I could get a look at it
again. And I ended up about 0.02 off from where
I expected. And I tried to take that into ac-
count in maneuvering back in.
365 00 55 50 SPT I think just in general, throughout all of my

maneuvering here, I had the feeling that it's
not really good to have to around 0.02 or so as
far as my ability to consistently maneuver this
around down on - there is some area I'm getting,
most likely on top of that, by going so easy -
display, but that might only be 1 or so. I think
that's relatively small.
365 00 56 21 SPT But I have made maneuvers here much of the time
of straight-line maneuvers from one point and
right back to the original, and it's not ended up
at the original, landing about 2 or so off. So
somehow I think the control system - even though
the attitude errors are nulled out at the end - it
doesn't quite get us there.
365 00 56 41 SPT I don't understand what the reason is, but it

doesn't. So I would say that's our order of un-
certainty in where we were for the original. Now
the drift compensation is something else. That,
198h
I did determine earlier, and I gave out air-to-

ground; did it twice. Have not had an opportu-
nity to recheck it, however.
365 00 57 13 SPT In the last building blocks ... an area required;

did not get it done. Started it early as you'd
like. I ... from 00:22 to 00:36. And also in my
haste in controlling, I could not change the 82B
slit to WAVELk_NGTH, SHORT; I was still at LONG.
365 00 57 49 SPT I noticed it after 5 minutes and changed it over

to SHORT. So the net result was that you got in
a WAVELENGTH, LONG exposure for 5 minutes and a
WAVELENGTH, SHORT exposure for 8 minutes. Sorry;
I Just got rushed on the procedure for getting
opposite the start location and the experiment
started. 52 was given the exposures required
every 5 minutes, and a GRATING, AUTO SCAN NO
INTERLOCK for 55.

365 02 06 21 SPT SPT at 00:27 [sic]; MII0. For the CDR, ... num-

SPT's is a dark yellow with a slight amount of red

nate this had to conflict with our interest this
morning in getting a JOP 18D done. We could not
do them all - do the whole thing at one time, but
I think we got the data as accurately as we could
have in any instance. It worked out well.

a false start. _at I did is, I got everything

set up and launched into the procedures, really
figuring I was really going along slick as a
whistle, and I looked up and saw that my ROLL was
not where it belonged. I had a minus 9200, I
think, when I should're had zero. So I had to
stop everything. My apologies to all the folks
whose frames I wasted, but you got some neat data,
Sun centered at 9200 EOLL - ARC MINUTE ROLL. I
got the ROLL set up properly and restarted JOP -
or building block IA, and that went without prob-
lem. Then I did IB, which was carried out without
problem. But because I was a little bit late when
I picked up JOP 4 Alfa, step h, building block 28,
I was automatically in a position where I couldn't
give 822 its full 17 minutes. So 82B, you got
15 minutes and 20 seconds before h00 K, and then
I had to cut you off.
365 02 53 47 CDR $056, you got 8 minutes on SINGLE FRAME, i. And

I shortchanged you 25 seconds on SINGLE FRAME,
2 for the same reason. 55, you got - you Just
barely got three RASTERs in, and that worked out
just fine. And other than that, the pass went
fairly- fairlywell. When it came downlinktime,
I was out on the limb; so I gave you some H-alpha
of what I hope was Papa 59, prominence number 59.
There was nothing at about 050 on the limb. And
I rolled up to about 040 and still saw nothing;
so I started down. And I think at about 070 or
075 is where I found some nice prominences, and I
think that was what you were looking for. I found
two very large spikes sticking off the limb, ap-
parently from the rear, the back side, and I had
two big hunks of - of material lifting off from
the front side, Just in - inside the limb a ways.
So I picked the brightest of the three areas, and
- or the four areas, and that turned out to be the
widest, fattest spike off the back. And that's
the one I pointed at, and that's the one you got
your data on. It - The DETECTOR 3 count got up to
300 on it. And I laid the slit parallel to the
limb, right - right smack along the base of the
prominence, Just a little bit out from the inner
H-alpha-1 limb. And that's where the Lyman beta -
You know, I wasn't looking at Lyman beta; I was
looking at all zips. That's where the DETECTOR 3
return was the largest. That's Just about it. I
1986
took a few looks at XUV MON; was singularly unim-

pressed by the lack of colors and contrast in the
disk. It really - really wasn't much to look at.
365 02 55 57 CDR The white light coronagraph - there has definitely

been a change since I took the pictures this
morning. I talked about the east limb having a
very wide band of diffuse ar - area there. And it
was pretty much the same tonight. All the - all
the streamers and everything were just sort of a
wide, diffuse band rather than a nice streamer.
But on the - on the western limb, this morning I
said you had a very, very broad base - streamer
that came out into a point. And tonight that
streamer had ne - done some necking down. It was
not quite as wide at the base, and it seems to be
just a tad longer. But that's about the only
change I saw. There really wasn't any great
amount of change. And, as I said before, all of
the JOPs, once I got over my false start, went
very well.

is TV-78-2, which is out-the-window television of
the Humboldt-Peru Current, the southern tip of
South America, and the Falkland Current. Accord-
ing to my calculations we're now about 3 minutes
from reaching the southern coast of Chile, and
the cloud cover looks like it's going to be pretty
good. It's, at the moment now, scattered to bro-
ken with some scattered-to-broken cumulus. And
let's Just hope that by the time we get to the
coast of Chile, that we still have good enough
weather to see the fiords.

365 13 58 45 CC Press ahead, and we do have a full roll.
CDR Okay, and I'll call you Just as soon as I'm

CC Thank you much.
CDR Okay, I'm going to go ahead and splurge then and

get the tape recorder on early. Okay, we should
only be a minute or so from the southern coast of
South America, the west coast of Chile. And we
have the television cooking here, and we're look-
ing down at the Pacific Ocean. We're hoping we're
not going to have too much cloud cover and miss
our opportunity to see the Humboldt-Peru Current
through the fiord area.
1989
365 13 59 38 CDR And there we go. Now we're looking on down toward
the south, and you can see some light - greenish-
looking lakes down there. And as I move up toward
the north, you can begin to see some long, narrow
lakes, but I'm afraid that my - my fears were not
unfounded. We've - we're going to miss our pic-
tures of the Humboldt-Peru Current as it passes
through the fiordlike inland - or the island -
coastal islands of Chile. Cloud cover is right up
to the land, and about all we can see is the south-
ernmost parts of the Andes Mountains and some of
the long, slender lakes that we see in there.
365 14 00 32 CDR The way we're going in orbital path, the way you're
looking in the TV right now, is we're going feet
first along our orbital path. And what I'm doing
now is panning to the north to see if I can get our
temperature sensor out of the field of view there.
But unfortunately we've missed our opportunity to
see the fiords and the Humboldt-Peruvian Current
because of - because of cloud cover. We're now
crossing over the Andes Mountains, and we're going
to be coming down into the - the pampa of Argen-
tina. And we'll come out over the ocean, over the
city of BahiaBlanca,and we will be -
365 14 01 31 CDR All right, here we go. Let me move up here and
let you see the coast of Argentina; right there.
Now let's start looking for the Falkland Current.
We're now beginning to look down toward the south.
I think right there amongst those clouds, just off
the - the inlet area there, you're going to see a
stain of lighter green, which is part of the Falk-
land Current. It doesn't show quite as clearly,
and again it looks like we've been had by the
clouds. Now as I look on further down to the
south, you can see the part of the Falkland Cur-
rent that I was looking at before. Right out in
there in that hole in the clouds, you see that
light green stain, which is the chlorophyll
blooming, the plankton coming up. That's what we
were looking at earlier when we were down south,
looking to the north.
365 14 02 29 CDR Unfortunately, the cloud cover looks like it may

get to us here. But let me show you a little bit
of the Argentine area here. This landfall you
F
1990
see right here is a - is a very active wheat-

producing area, it looks like. I don't know if
you can have the resolution on TV to see it, but
there is a good deal of checkerboarding down
there, which indicates cultivated fields. The
large bay that we were looking at the Falkland
Current through there earlier was Bahia - Bahia
San Matias [sic]. Okay, now we're coming up
over the pampa area. And down through the clouds
you got - I'm sure you won't be able to see it,
but down through the clouds is a lot of checker-
boarding. And we are Just south of Buenos Aires.
Just south of Buenos Aires. Now you should be
able to possibly see some checkerboarding.
365 14 03 35 CDR All right, now as we move up and look a little

further ahead, we- we come to Montevideo and
Buenos Aires and the mouth of the Rio de la Plata
River. All right, now as we move out from this
mouth of the Rio de la Plata River is where we
should find the confluence of the Falkland and
the South Equatorial Currents. And I think, if
you look very carefully, you might be able to see
just a little bit of color change right down in
this area right in here, where my pencil is
pointing. And that is the area in which you get
the confluence of these two currents. I can see
it fairly plainly; it's not as bright today as
it has been in - in the past, but it's very defi-
nitely there.
365 15 Oh 21 CDR Now we're coming up on the beautiful example of

it, as we move right over into here. Let me get
my pencil in the way again. Okay, right in there
we have a mixture of the two currents. We can
see the lighter green coming up from the Falkland
Current, which is - in our - in - in this partic-
_._ ular case today, it's up here, which is south.
_k Down here is north, and you can see the darker
_blue, a rather iridescent blue, coming down from
Ehe South Equatorial Current. Those two are mix-
ing and are proceeding on out to the east, which
is to ths\left on your screen. Now there have
been bette_ays for seeing it, but we can defi-
nitely see th_s_ now; and that Just about covers
it. We're now _ell north of Montevideo and
Buenos Aires, and I don't see any further indi-
cations of the current.
1991
365 14 05 33 CDR Let me show you a little bit of what sunglint

looks like. I'm going to have to stop down, I
think on my shutter a little bit to keep from
faking out things. But now as we're coming up to
the north here, we're in a sunglint area - that
is, where the - the roughness of the water and
the Sun angle from the Sun reflects the Sun back
UP to us and shows it - - (alarm) as a tight area
- shows it very bright, very tight. And (alarm)
this sunglint is a beautiful way for us to see

365 14 40 47 CDR This is the CDR at 14:hl Zulu with report on

Earth observations. The pass this time, we came
up over the Niger River, the inland delta area,
and then on up over central Algeria and the sand
dune areas. So we'll start with the first - first
sightings which I made. They were not scheduled
nor listed on our - our schedule. However, the
Niger River Delta area was quite clear, and Lake
Faguibine was - was very evident. So I grabbed
the - the Nikon with the 300-millimeter lens and
tried to get some good coverage of the entire
inland delta area with three or four - and I'm
not sure which - three or four Nikon frames. The
frames that I took were on Charlie X-ray 37 maga-
zine. They were taken at lh:22, and they were
frame number 40, 39, and 38 and possibly 37. I
lost count between the two sites. The f-stop was
8 at - the 300-millimeter lens, and it was 1/500.
365 14 42 05 CDR And I started at the south end of the - of the

delta area and moved to the north, and the last
picture was over Lake Faguibine. This was really
all in preparation of the path that came up on
1992
the pad, which was the dunes in the Algerian -

Central Algerian and Tunusia - Tunisia area. I
didn't take much time to really look at the vege-
tation or anything around - around these lakes.
I Just snapped you off some 300-millimeter pic-
tures.
365 14 42 _0 CDR Now while I'm thinking about it, we have the age-
old problem of handheld 300-millimeter and holding
it steady enough to get you good pictures. We
have a general message that came up on day num-
ber 6 which limits the 135-millimeter lens to
indoor use - inside-the-workshop use only. We
have not questioned that; however, I'm beginning
to wonder now why I could not have used that 135-
millimeter lens instead of the 300 in order to
take these handheld photos that I wanted to get.
I think we would probably have less smear on
them. I hope I held them - the 300 steady enough
and got the pictures we wanted. But at this time,
I was certainly wishing I had the 135.
365 14 43 30 CDR One question I do have here. Do we have a - do

we have a mechanical or hardware problem that we
can't use the 135, or could we go ahead and use
the 135 under the same circumstances with which
we use the 300-millimeter lens?
365 14 43 47 CDR Moving on to my next site now; is the Algerian

sand dunes. These are handheld site number 68,
number 69, and 70. Now stand by a minute; I'll
be right back with you.
365 14 45 13 CDR Okay, this is the CDR again, continuing on with

the discussion of the - the Algerian sand dunes.
The first targets that we came into - came into
our sight were the chains of star dunes in
Algeria and - over the grea - Grand Erg Oriental
Region. Maybe that's called Oriental. Anyway,
the - the chains are very evident. I think I
mentioned them yesterday in my discussion of -
of this part of the country, particularly when I
was talking about the dust storm that - that we
thought we saw. The chains are quite evident,
and I've got pictures of the chains, both 300-
millimeter and Hasselblad 100. The 300-millimeter
frames - the 300-millimeter frame is either 37 or
36. I'm not sure which. I think it's 36, but
it'll be quite evident.
1993
365 14 46 13 CDR The Hasselblad frame that I took of the chain

dunes was number 94. The pictures were centered
kind of right in the area - right in the center
of the chain area.
365 14 h6 34 CDR Okay, the next area was HH68. This is the indi-
vidual star dunes of southeastern Algeria. I think
I got you some real good pictures, again both with
the - the Hasselblad i00 and with the Nikon 300.
The settings on the Hasselblad is f/ll, 1/250; the
setting on the Nikon 300 was f/8 at 1/500. The
Hasselblad magazine is Charlie X-ray 52; the
Nikon X-ray - magazine is Charlie X-ray 37. The
star dunes picture, I think, was - Stand by Just a
minute.
365 14 h8 05 CDR Okay, the Hasselblad frame of these individual star

dunes was Hasselblad Charlie X-ray 52, frame
number 95. And the 500 - the 300-millimeter
Nikon was number 35. Okay, then we moved on to
the area of the HH70.
365 14 48 56 CDR Okay, HH70 is the reticulate dune field in north-

eastern Algeria. I think it goes on into Tunisia.
F And I got a Hasselbladi00, frame number 96. And
I got a Nikon 300, frame number 34 and 33; got two
of them. I think I included the ridge boundary
that you show in your example 76 from the Earth
photography. And the reticulate pattern was quite
evident. This is the area where these reticulate
dunes were. This is pretty much the area where
the - the large sandstorm or whatever that was
that I saw yesterday with the great - with the
very, very clear line of demarcation - This is
where that was located and then swung out over
the Mediterranean.
365 15 01 32 SPT SPT at 13:02 [sic]. ATM operations, first pass

of the day. The building block l, JOP 6, went
off straightforward. Observing time, I used to
look at what appeared to be a bright spot in the
XUV monitor, slightly left of Sun center. When
I looked at it in H-alpha, it looked like a very
smsll bipole, Just a little - I could not see any
emerging flux but Just two - two enhancements.
199_
CC ... some at 13 minutes after you started it, which

was the beginning of this data take.
PLT Okay. And that 's the format that we 'ii be using
now.
CC Okay ...
365 15 02 35 SPT Gave 56 a PATROL, SHORT and then a SINGLE FRAME,

for 8 minutes. 55 got a MIRROR, AUTO RASTER
down past - on top, down to around line 15 or 20
and then GRATING, AUTO SCANs on that point. It
looked something like a bipole. And there are
two brightenings in H-alpha but no appreciable
flux. The teleprinter has Just come up and said
that there was a small, two-to-three-flux region
or bipole in that region. So perhaps that's what
I was looking at. Looks like that it was. The
Sun certainly is quite. That was the only thing
I could see to do in a short period of time.

365 16 12 37 PLT This is PLT. I'll stop recording here for the
time being, on the voice recorder anyway.
365 16 15 19 SPT SPT at 16:15. First 18D, data-take time once

again at 15:21. Building block 30 went pretty
well. First one -30 block Bravo - 30 Bravo was
1995
the building block - the initial pointing ended

up at minus 100 and plus 70, which was pretty
close to the predicted value. And it was a - a
good - good location to work. I suggest that
quadrant, the lower right-hand corner, is - is a
good one for visibility. I started 56 at 26:35.
And then at 16:10, they got a 43-minute 25-second
exposure. 82B got the exposures they requested
in a LONG WAVELkr_GTH - 520, 126 - and a long-as-
possible, which turned out to be 35 minutes 25
seconds. That last exposure began at 15:34:25.
55 got the three MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs they were
after. And 54 received M, S, 0, S, 1 - one ad-
vance, which began at 15:26:35, and next - next
one at 16:10. So they essentially also received
a 43 [minute] 25 [second] exposure.
365 16 17 35 SPT Now the question of maneuvering and uncertainly

involved. I can go through all the numbers if
you like, but perhaps it would be best to Just
state the conclusion. And that is that I have
my initial pointing in, I conclude I'll still be
off around 2 in X; that is, ... shorts. That's
reallyin - closeto a minus 3 ratherthan a mi-
• nus i. And in Y, that's certainly more like a
plus 1 than a minus 2. The only way I can con-
clude this is from the maneuver I made at 25 min-
utes remaining. I put in a maneuver in to maneuver
essentially a straight line out, away from the
distance which I came in, the equal amount, and
then looked at the deviation - where I predicted
I would have been and where I actually ended up -
and then took that deviation and divided it by two.
365 16 18 53 SPT Now I can figure I got a new correction now as

long as I start at the same place? Uh-uh. I
stand a better chance. However, there's some
sloppiness in this control system. There's got
to be, because I'll make - I made another maneu-
ver afterwards, making and using those controls -
those correction factors, and it did not work out
in Y at all. X was pretty good, but Y - Y showed
that that correction factor which I calculated was
too large. So maybe I was better - maybe I was
better off than I thought the first time. I've
got some information better. So just going on
drift rates here during the night period, perhaps
1996
some of it's bound up in there. I'm not sure, but

it certainly does begin to look more like two or
three units in octal, as far as where we're lo-
cated. That's kind of sloppy for pointing close
to the nucleus.
365 16 19 55 SPT But I've been working at this for a long time, and
making it any finer than that jsut seems to keep
evading me. I have a feeling that that Just is
the noise level of the system - the total system
that we're working with. That's got to be some
of the control systems or - or some monitors ...

waiting.
365 18 02 23 CDR No, it's not time yet. It's still set for this
morning. Okay, this is the CDR. The subject is
M487-2 Charlie, crew debriefing. And sometime
during this conversation, we're going to get in-
terrupted. And the PLT will be doing some S183 -
putting some more data on tape. So don't be sur-
prised to see this get interrupted. Number l:
Which is preferable, the floor/ceiling orientation
of the workshop or the open, cylindrical arrange-
ment of the MDA/STS? I personally prefer the
floor/ceiling. And the only reason is because of
- of - Well, there is two good reasons for that:
Number 1 is, that's kind of the way we're oriented
in life on the Earth, and I think it's good to
bring some of that orientation with you. It helps A
quite a bit.
365 18 03 26 CDR How do the tasks to be performed influence your

preference of orientation? Well, I don't know if
the tasks necessary influence my preference more
than Just the - the naturalness of things as far
as visual orientation are concerned. And also I
think another influencing factor is the grid here.
And really, that shouldn't have anything to do
with it, but the grid aspect, the floor grid
and ceiling grid aspect, certainly does make the
floor/ceiling type of arrangement more preferable
to the cylindrical arrangement in the MDA. It's
because - And the reason why is because you've got
more flexibility and personal - personnel restraint,
and I think that's very important. And that cer-
tainly something that I've mentioned before is very
definitely lacking in the MDA/STS; and I think the
fact that we have this open-gridwork floor and cei-
ling helps quite a bit. So not necessarily the
tasks influenced my preference for the orientation
more than the opportunities or the availability of
the - of person and equipment restraint. Bill,
how much time you got?
1999
PLT Don't worry about it. I could get this read in a

second very easily.
365 18 Oh 57 CDR Okay. How adequate are the restraints and mobil-
ity aids throughout the orbital assembly? Okay.
I guess this is a rehash. I've already - already
covered this ground sometime before. Restraints
and mobility aids in the workshop's area are very
good. In the MDA, I think they're deficient.
And where are they - are more needed? There are
more needed in the MDA. I think I mentioned before
that from any handhold where you have your hand,
there should be another one within h feet, which
is an easy reach distance. And I think that's
still true. I think we need more of the gridwork
sort of thing like the ATM C&D and the EREP C&D
foot grid restraints. Those are very, very useful,
and very versatile and very handy. And a few more
of those throughout the MDA probably would have
helped quite a bit moreo I think the VTS operator
needs some sort of foot restraints. The way it's
working right now, you - we're wrapping our feet
around the restraint system that holds the - the
elephant tmmk that goes over the sill into the
commandmodule down through the tunnel,the AID.
365 18 06 16 CDR Are some of the mobility restraints that we have

around here, mobility aids and restraints, un-
necessary? I can't think of any that are unneces-
sary. I was going to say something about the dome;
but the more I look at the dome, the more - and the
more I remember how many times I've been up there
and used those things, the more I think I better
just keep my mouth shut. I think that the re-
straints in the dome area are probably about right,
and they probably shouldn't either be increased
or just - decreased. Okay, I think I pretty well
covered that. I think the restraint system in the
MDA/STS really needs work.
365 18 07 06 CDR Okay, question number 3: How often have en -

environmental va - factors such as noise, temp,
airflow, ill1_miuation interfered with your ability
to perform a task? Which tasks and where? Okay,
let's see. Noise: The noise in the airlock mod-
ule/MDA is at a high level; it has affected our
recordings. And the people on the ground have
complained on several occasions about the record-
ing situation and the fact that there's a lot of
2OO0
background noise. It m_es our voices harder to

understand, and I think that's a good valid thing.
I'd say that's a task that is interfered with by
noise. That's about the only task I can think of
interfered with by noise. Temperature: We'll get
to that later; that's going to be a sleep problem.
365 18 08 15 CDR Airflow: I have not noticed any airflow problems

at all. In fact, airflow for the most part has
become somewhat of a friend. If we lose anything
we know the airflow's going to take it to the
workshop screens, and it usually does it within
just a few hours. They're also beneficial if you
drop something and it drifts off. If you have
the knowledge of where the airflow is, you know
where to go to intercept it or you can - In a lot
of cases, you know that you don't have to get
something that you've lost, that the airflow will
bring it back to you if you just wait a couple of
minutes. So for the most part, I'd say the air-
flow has not interfered with our ability to per-
form a task. I have not noticed any - any problems
with the M509 yet as a result of airflow in the
workshop.
365 18 09 l0 CDR Factors that interfere with your ability to sleep.

I think the major one is temperature. I'm quite -
quite surprised to find out how temperature sen-
sitive I am when I sleep up here. I don't think
I'm that temperature sensitive at home. But here,
if the temperature gets up very much above 75, this
guy wakes up. And he has trouble - trouble sleep-
ing until he removes blankets or does something
like that in order to readjust body temperature.
And I'm very surprised to see that I'm so sensitive
to that, because apparently it's a very narrow
comfort range. Below about 75, I'm - I'm reason-
able comfortable, and I can - I can go to bed and
- and - and sleep through the night. But if it
gets much above 75, I become a fitful sleeper.
365 18 09 59 CDR Airflow_ no problem on sleep with airflow. Noise,

we have had. The ATM C&D pumps are quite noisy in
the airlock, and the noise as it comes down through
the airlock is - is amplified by the dome. And by
the time it - -
PLT ... recorder?

2001
CDR How long - how soon do you need it?
PLT ...
CDR Well - -
PLT I just want to ...
CDR I've got four more questions to do. Probably

l0 minutes - 7 minutes, something like that.
PLT ...
CDR Okay. Okay, where was I? Airflow doesn't affect

sleep. Noise, I was talking about the ATM C&D
coolant pumps. The sound is magnified as it comes
through the airlock module by the dome, so the
megaphone effects. By the time it gets down to
the experiment compartment, it's - it's fairly
noisy. So we have asked for and received permis-
sion to turn those pumps off at night so it won't
interfere with our sleep. And that seems to do
pretty well.
-- 365 18 ii i0 CDR Okay, what unique off-duty activities have you

devised to supplement those provided in the ODAE
kit? I have not devised any. The only off-duty
activities in the ODA - ODAE kit that we've even
had the chance to use is the music and the books.
I have read l-l2 books. I'm busy working on my
second book right now. My favorite o - off-duty
activity is looking out the window with a pair of
binoculars and just watching the Earth go by. And
I'll never tire of that. I think that's the most
relaxing and enjoyable off-duty activity that I
could possibly do. I'm also keeping sort of a
crew log - a log of just thoughts and - and ideas
and - and things that I want to remember. And
that takes up a certain amount of time, which I
consider to be an off-duty activity.
365 18 12 05 CDR What recommend - recommendations do you have for

improving the recreational facilities and equip-
ment for future progrAm_? I think the tape re-
corders are a good idea. I think we need some
better ones than what we've got. These have taken
a beating. There's a little door that closes over
the top of the cassette. It's extremely fragile
and is - is very easily broken off. I think it's
s
2002
broken on two out of the three that we have now.

I think a recreational facility that would be ex-
tremely important for a future program would be
two-way television. I think that it would be -
it should be a cassette-type television, also, so
that you could t_]k to the ground and see them
while they're seeing you. And since you've got
limited ground coverage, you wouldn't be able to
pipe up program_ from the ground unless this TV
system had a high-speed deal where the ground
could high speed-in, say, 2 minutes or so or
3 minutes-high-speed up an entire half hour or
1-hour program to you at high-speed telemetry.
And then you could play it back in your cassette
recorder at normal speed and - and have normal
television. I think that would be a great - a
great recreational boon. For those of us who like
sports on TV, you could - you could watch a foot-
ball game or something like that and really, I
think, enjoy that quite a bit. You could watch
movies.
365 18 13 hO CDR Another unique use of - of cassette television is

something that Bill Pogue and I thought about some
time ago and proposed for Skylab but were never
able to get, and that is training fi]m q on cas-
sette TV. If something breaks down, the ground
can - can do a complete repair routine on some-
thing and televise it and then zip it up to you
and show you exactly how to do something. And
you wouldn't have to fiddle around with reading
a long, involved checklist and looking at photo-
graphs and things like that. You could Just pop
in a cassette, see the Job done, and work right
alongside the - the person doing the Job and -
and repair your thing. I think that would be ex-
tremely good; it would really reduce the training
load.
365 18 lh 30 CDR Well, if you want to call exercise recreation, I

think we need to continue to improve our - our
exercise facilities. I think the Mark I is an
excellent exercising device, The Mark II is good,
the springs. And the treadmill is extremely good
and the ergometer. But there seems to be a shift
in emphasis on the part of the medical people now
toward our one-g muscles. And there just isn't
much of anything up here to work on your one-g
muscles with except the Mark I and the treaam_ll.
2003
And I think for future missions, we ought to de-

vise some - some equipment that can be used to
develop your one-g muscles. I think a - a well-
thought-out program for developing your one-g
muscles needs to be - needs to be devised. And
it needs to be done prior to the next mission be-
cause if we're going to - I should say the next
extended mission - because if anybody's going to
stay up for any length time, we're beginning to
get a good handle on what the problems are when
you get back to one-g, and we'd better start do-
ing something right away to get the necessary ex-
ercises to combat that.
CDR In terms of your zero-g living - this is question

5 - and working experiences during this mission,
what specific habitability improvements would you
recommend for the next Skylab crew or for future
programa? I should have reviewed this thing be-
fore I came up. On tape, my mind is kind of blank
on this one. There's a lot of things that - that
could be improved for future Skylab crews and for
future missions that we would kind of - Well, I
think we would probably need aSmost a whole dif-
ferentlayoutor architecture of the area. Let
me skip that and try to get back to it at another
time.
365 18 16 40 CDR Question number 6: Discuss both the beneficial

and detrimental effects on zero g of the follow-
ing - of zero g on the following types of activ-
ities. Individual work activities while restrained
at a specific work location: Well, a benific - a
- a benefit of zero g - if you're doing, say, light
work - if you drop something, once you get over
the - the habit of snatching at things to try to
catch them before they fall away from you - If you
drop something, you Just merely have to reach over
and grab it again. And it won't - it doesn't go
flying off it you drop it. I think we made a great
mistake when we got rid of our workbench. And
that's something that needs to be - needs to be
cooked up for future activity, and that is a zero-
g workbench. Handling and transferring various-
sized equipment items - small, medium, and large:
Well, the small ones doesn't make any difference,
but the bigger they are, the easier they are in
zero g. And, of course, one case in point is the
F
200_.
S183. Usually took about two men to get that

thing eased into place in the SAL in the trainer,
and here one guy can handle it very easily with
one hand with no problem whatsoever. It's just
a matter of taking your time and letting the iner-
tia work for you rather than against you.
365 18 18 03 CDR Part C, work activities requiring assistance from

other crewmen: I don't see any either detriment
or beneficial thing there. Personal maintenance
activities - personal hygiene, donning and doffing
garments, and all that : Personal hygiene, the
act of defecation is made more difficult because
the - the waste products don't move away from you
and you have to pull them away from you. That is
definitely a disadvantage.
CC ... and we'd like to point out to you that the

item at 19:13 is non-time-critical and that we
certainly don't want to cut - cut into your JOP 18
maneuver. You can put that off until 19:17, 19:18,
something like that.
CDR Was that for me?
PLT No.
CDR Okay.
CC Whatever you need.
CDR Donning and doffing of garments is really easier

in zero g than it is in one g, with the exception
of your shoes and socks, things that require you
bending. We were quite surprised to find out how
much we use gravity when we bend over to tie our
shoes or untie our shoes or put on a pair of socks
or something like that. Up here, you've got to
use those stomach muscles to pull your foot up
close to you to tie your shoe or work a sock or
something like that, and it really works the old
stomach muscles for you.
365 18 19 22 CDR Waste management cleanup chores: Okay, I guess I

- I called that personal hygiene, and that's al-
ready covered. Locomotion in and through various
OA compartments: Zero g almost invariably works
for you. The forward compartment of the workshop
2005
can become a problem in locomotion and moving; and

that is, if you allow yourself to drift away from
a handhold and it's 20 feet to the next handhold,
you got nothing - you got no choice but to be pa-
tient and wait until you get there. So you have
to be careful in the large dome area, forward com-
partment. And if you want to go somewhere, point
yourself and go; and it's no problem. But if you
want to stay where you are, you better anchor your-
self; because if you start drifting off and get
without reach - outside the reach of a restraint,
then you're - you've Just lost time. And you can
flail and thrash all you want, and it won't do you
a bit of good.
365 18 20 23 CDR How satisfactory is the frequency of change of

bedding, clothing, towels, and washcloths? I
don't think the bedding has to be changed quite
as much as - quite as frequently as it does. I
think the clothing frequency is fine. I would
prefer to have a clean pair of underwear every
day and a clean pair of socks every day, rather
than every 2 days. But I think we came across a
' stowageproblem there on that, and I understand
_ the problem and we can live very nicely with what
we have. Okay, this is the CDR. I'm going to
terminate this because other people need the re-
corder. And I'll try to get back and talk a lit-
tle bit more about question number 5 later.
365 18 20 56 CDR CDR out.
365 18 21 26 PLT This is PLT. The time is 18:21. And the exposure
terminated prior to 18:21. And that was for field
0&3. TILT was 0 - 10.3; ROTATION, 166.3; for PLATE
number 20; 000/000/0620. So we got by in fine or-
der on those two exposures. I'm starting to now -
to do the stow on 183.
365 18 21 58 PLT PLT out.
365 18 25 15 SPT SPT at 17 - Make that 18:25. And this is some of

the TV which can be fitted into TV-77. If you will,
shift this portion into the part that I'm about to
record later on, which - This will show the point-
ing of the comet. We're now looking at the display
for the white light coronagraph. And down in the
lower left is a very faint object which turns out
p-
2006
to be the comet. The coronagraph was designed to

look at the Sun, which is - and the corona, which
is fairly bright. And the comet, being relatively
faint, Just barely shows, but it's still well
enough to do the pointing. What I will do now is
to make a few entries into the computer, which will
move that very small bright point over to another
position, at which we'll make our observations.
365 18 26 57 SPT Okay, the entries are now made. And I can see it
moving off to a new location. Now you see it dis-
appear. The reason for that is, as it gets in
closer to the center of the display, the filtering
of the instrument tends to filter out the - the
light much more greatly as you move in closer to
the center. The corona - that's the region around
the Sun- is very bright towards the inside and
very faint towards the outside. So this instrument
Just takes and transmits light Just opposite to
that; that is, it lets the light far out pass
through very easily and filters out that close to
the Sun. When you get an object which is of uni-
form - which is of the same brightness, as you
move around, it kind of tends to become fainter
as you move it in. And that's one of the diffi-
culties we have in working with this.
365 18 28 18 SPT Okay, we've now got the comet in the position for
viewing, and we'll start the observing program.
365 18 40 19 SPT I'd like to show you a little bit about how we
are observing the Comet Ko - Kohoutek. The panel
that we have right in front of me here is the
Apollo telescope mount control-and-display panel.
We're using the instruments which are controlled
through this panel for observing the comet. These
instruments were originally designed for studying
the Sun, and we still do use it essentially for
that purpose. But we've also found that some of
these instruments are quite capable of learning
quite a bit about the comet. And I'll try and
discuss a little of that for you today. I think
we've been rather fortunate that Comet Kohoutek
was picked up - discovered quite early, so that
we could get a good observing program put together
to study it. Another exceptional thing about the
comet is that it's coming relatively close to the
Sun - or it has been already - and therefore is
2O07
heated; it becomes quite bright. And we hope -

it should in that way show us quite a bit how
comets are made and how they change. It's Just
gone through a relatively dynamic period. In -
On De - December 28, it came within a quarter of
a million miles of the Sun, which is really quite
close. And it was traveling at a speed of about
a quarter million miles an hour. Now it will tend
to slow down as it moves away from the Sun and
also tend to decrease in brightness.
365 18 42 19 SPT However, as it does get a little further away from

the Sun, you folks down there will be able to see
it and be able to enjoy the same spectacular sight
that we have been up here. We've been quite.lucky.
We have 15 nights - divisions into nights and days
up here for every 24 hours; so we're able to see
it quite frequently. An advantage for us in being
up here is that we're above the Earth's atmosphere.
That allows us to see it without any of the intense
light scattering that exists within the Earth's
atmosphere. And as soon as it comes above the
horizon, we can see it and observe it. We've used
quite a few of these onboard instruments to do that.
-- And first, let's talk about the ATM. In general,
what we try to do is to take a picture of the comet,
same as you would take a picture with Just any
camera you would have at home. We also at the same
time try to learn a little bit about what colors
that the comet really emits. By colors, now, we
mean not Just the ones you can see with your eyes,
but those all the way down into X-rays. We don't
expect X-rays, but we do expect some ultraviolet
emission. Surprisingly enough, there is very lit-
tle real hard data on comets even though they've
been noted since a]most 500 B.C. We hope we can
make a significant step in that direction along
with some of the other observing program_ which
are being carried out at this time.
365 18 44 06 SPT We'd like to know whether it's made of ice, rock;
whether there's methane in it, complicated mole-
cules ; whether it's hydrogen; numerous questions
which will tell us a little bit about where it
came from and what happened, how the solar system
was put together. We've been able to do a fairly
extensive observing program despite the fact that
we have only one - or have lost one control moment
2O08
gyro for _maneuvering. We started out with three

and have lost one, which we thought was a signifi-
cant impact, but fortunately the people at Houston
have gotten very s_a_t, worked hard, and figured
out some fairly good ways of getting the job done
with the reduced capability. The first instrument
and perhaps the primary one for the purposes of
finding the comet and pointing to it is the white
light coronagraph. That's controlled through this
section of the panel here, and we use these two TV
monitors to find the comet by using the instrument
in conjunction with a TV camera that it has mounted
into it, which gives us picture of what the instru-
ment sees. Since the corona - that's the atmos-
phere around the Sun - is relatively faint and the
comet is also, the instruments are pretty well
matched. However, as you go in toward the center
of the Sun, the corona gets very bright. The co-
ronagraph here has taken that into account and
filtered out most of the light very close to the
Sun so that only the edges of the field of view,
if you will, the regions right around here, are
capable of seeing the comet.
365 18 46 23 SPT Once we move it in close to the center, we can

no longer see it. That means that we have to re-
sort to something a little less accurate than
pointing directly at it by eye, and that is, we
use an overlay grid pattern here, if you will.
We find out where the comet is, and then we figure
out what its coordinates are on here; and then
we figure where we want to move it to _nd make the
appropriate entries into the computer. Those en-
tries are all calculated from the grid overlay
which we put on the display and have had to cal-
ibrate Just for that purpose. As a matter of fact,
right at this moment, the white light coronagraph
is observing the comet. And at this moment, I do
have to get three single exposures going and then
a series of what we call a FAST SCAN. I'ii cut
off the television for a bit, and I'ii be right
back with you.
365 18 48 42 SPT Okay, we're back with the white light coronagraph
in a little different mode of observation now.
You can see by the light here, which tells me that
we are operating. We hope that the coronagraph
will tell us a little bit about whether the tail
2Q09
behind the comet is made of gas or dust or what

combination there is. We're able to make that
same separation in observing the corona itself,
and we hope we can do the same with the comet.
We also hope that there'll be some interaction,
if you will, between the corona - that's the re-
gion again around the Sun - and the solar winds
which emanate from that and the comet as it passes
through it. I think we'll learn quite a bit about
both of them by observing that interaction. Now a
second instrument, which is not Just taking pic-
tures but it also gives us some information about
the colors, and that is - We call it the XUV spec-
trograph - extreme ultraviolet, and spectrograph
means Just a way of taking a - a picture in var-
ious colors. In this case, the colors are in the
ultraviolet and the extreme ultraviolet. There
was a period of around 8 hours when the comet came
closest to the Sun, as we looked at it, that we
were able to use this instrument. And I'm _11] of
anticipation that we've got some pretty good data.
We'll know when we develop it upon returning home.
We're looking for some pictures of the comet in
emission lines of helium, maybe some of oxygen,
hydrogen, especially helium and ionized helium-
that is, helium which has lost one electron.
365 18 51 01 SPT One of the most useful for determining what the
comet is made of is the XUV slit spectrograph.
And that essentially - Although it does not take
a picture, it takes a very narrow slice. If you
will, it looks at something about like this pen-
cil, only it's only 1 arc minute long - that's
1/60 of a degree - and about 1/30 of that length
in width. So it's Just a very narrow slit. But
it takes that light and divides it up into all of
its colors, all of its components in the ultra-
violet, and in that way tells us what are the
atoms and what are some of the molecules - if they
show up in that wavelength range - which compose
the comet and the tail and the coma, which is the
region around the nucleus. This instrument is an
exceptionally capable instrument in terms of what
we call spectral resolution. That's the way it
resolves the very fine wavelengths. That one,
although when you first look at the data is going
to be a little harder to interpret, I think, once
it's worked on for quite a little while, will
2010
yield an awful lot of useful information. Another

instrument which gives us data on the comet, of
much the same nature, which, as a matter of fact,
we're operating right now and it's time for me
to - to make a change here and I will - I have to
change the wavelength at which it's looking, and
I'll Just change it by one step and let it go
back to taking a picture in its own way.
365 18 53 06 SPT It is a scan - scanning polychrometer spectro-

heliometer, which is a real mouthful, but what it
really does is Just take pictures of the comet or
the Sun by using a - a TV camera, if you will.
The same way a TV camera scans whatever it looks
and takes the light that it sees at each point
and re-creates it to make a picture, that's the
same way in which this instrument works, although
we're also capable of just taking and looking at
one point and then scanning across the wavelength
or the color spectrum, if you will, or looking at
all of the colors which are emitted from that
point. So it's quite a versatile instrument.
Right now we're making a scan very close to the
primary line emitted by hydrogen; we call it Lyman
alpha. And we've Just taken two steps now away
from that line toward the center of the line, and
we're taking a picture of the comet or the region
close to the comet anyway, using that and trying
to find out Just what gives the emissions. One
feature about this is that you don't have to use
film. You run it like a TV camera and in the
same way the TV camera which is taking my picture
now. And the information goes down to ground
within a matter of hours, and it can be interpreted
directly and in that way includes the observations
which we make up here the next day, for example.
365 18 54 5B SPT We certainly have done that with the Sun. And
although the comet is fairly faint, we have learned
a few things about it ; and that is that we have
observed a line of hydrogen - Lyman alpha. But
with this - with this instrument, not too many
others as yet. This instrument is designed to
look at the Sun - not the faint region around it ;
so its detectors are designed for a much higher
intensity of light. And lastly, we have two
X-ray instruments, an X-ray telescope and an
X-ray spectrometer. The - Two thing we hope we
2011
may be able to see there. First, if there is any

major X-ray emissions from the Sun as there would
be if we had a major solar storm or a solar flare,
then some of the field around the comet could
fluoresce. That means you bring light in with a
very high energy and it causes the atoms and
molecules to emit light at a little lower energy
but yet it shows up, the same way your fluorescent
lights work at home. And this would - The fluo-
rescence here would have to take place in the
X-ray wavelength, however, and if there was such
an event, we may have been able to see it. That
would be strictly fortuitous if we could. But
we're not taking any chances, and we don't want
to miss anything; so we're using those instruments.
365 18 56 29 SPT And, secondly, if there are any X-ray stars be-
hind the comet - that is, X-ray sources, very
pinpoint sources of light which also emit X-rays -
then if those X-rays pass through the tail of the
comet and the material around it, some of that
light will be absorbed. Comparing the light which
we see before and after that absorption, we can
also learn a little bit about what material there
- there is in the comet. I think that coversthe
Apollo telescope mount now. I also will show you
some of the maneuvering which takes place. We
use the digital address system, we call it here.
We work in octal units; that's units of 8, rather
than 10. All entries have to be made in that,
and that's what our scale is figured on, in octal.
If we want to make any calculations other than
addition or subtraction, we have to convert to
decimals, multiply, and back. We learned to
think in octal quite well once we got used to it.
365 18 57 _5 SPT Okay, now let's go on down to the scientific air-

lock, where we have a host of other instruments,
and we'll show you what we have there.
365 19 ll 51 SPT SPT at 19:12, debriefing the last two passes on

JOP 18D. First of all, the one that began at
16:5h. 82B, let me see if the exposures requested
CC i minute to LOS, and see you over Madrid in h min-

utes.
L
2012
sPT - - very last exposure, which was 17:07 to 17:43

- that's 36 minutes - and 55 received their data.
I think we had pretty good pointing this time at
the nucleus. I ended up using a - For the first
half, I made only corrections in Y, and then upon
going in and coming back out again, I discovered
what we really needed were corrections in X and Y.
I had done some nightside calculations which showed
that X was pretty small. But again, subsequent
ones confirmed that what we were really using -
what we really needed was entry of one every
minutes in Y and every 8 minutes in X. I used
the same calculations over the nightside and made
one large update, and when we came into the day-
side, the comet was exactly where we had left it
at night. So I feel confident that that is a
good drift compensation factor. Maybe you can
figure on from the ground which takes comet motion
into account. I'm not sure what else goes into
it other that rate gyro drift and - but the evi-
dence is in front of my eyes, and that's the one
I tend to believe.
365 19 14 19 SPT Okay, as I said, for the first part of the build-
ing block, I made a compensation of every _ min-
utes in Y but none in X. I had the 25 minutes to
point. In the time remaining, I went back out
and took a look at it, concluded I did need that
small amount in X, went back in, and I used the
final compensation which I've Just mentioned for
both axes. We were only out of the pointing there
for about 2 minutes. We were able to do that
relatively fast.
CDR About another 4 or 5 minutes?
SPT About maybe another 3.
CDR Okay, great.
SPT It was D in the next orbit that we pointed the

nucleus at minus 70 and plus 60 with no motion
compensation. And that all went very well. 82B
received their B0-minute exposure. Actually,
they received longer than that; it was more like
37 and B6 seconds. And then their WAVELENGTH,
SHORT for 5 seconds. 55 received their MIRROR,
AUTO RASTERs, and 52 received the STANDARD MODE
2013
followed by three single exposures and then a

FAST SCAN to finish off the time alloted, as
opposed to a CONTINUOUS sighting. I had misread
the pad on that one.
365 19 16 31 SPT SPT out.
CC Skylab, Houston. Bermuda the next 7 minutes.
365 19 16 59 PLT Okay, the ...... and Clark, you don't know what
you're doing .... that lousy helmet. Crank the
crank. Okay, it's the PLT. T002. Stars will be
Rigel and Procyon. And at approximately
30 degrees - -
CC SPT, Mike sends his congratulations on a good
Job. And just for that, Don's worked on it ...
Looks like everything's going to be squared away.
SPT Very good; thank you, Bill.
PLT Well, let me check and see if that's what it was.

My book just floated away. Oh, yes; there it is.
You could do better with lights. I think the
concern over darkness is overemphasized. I think
the inconvenienceand everythingis - T002 star
1216, 39 degrees. Okay, that's why I didn't have
it.
SPT ... door ...
365 19 19 h3 CC Ed, if you got a moment, lets - let's get back

and check up on the 82B entry .... JOP 18.
SPT Go ahead.
CC This morning, we noticed that you missed a couple

of steps in the checklist on step 10, the first
two steps. And this - -
PLT Just letting them off.
CC - - completely disabled the acquisition Sun sen-

sor • ..
365 19 20 06 PLT Get ready for us; we'll be a bother.
CC ...
201h
PLT Okay.
CC First two steps of step i0.
SPT Maybe zero zero zero zero.
CC No, the commands are 52014E and a 50002E ...
SPT Okay.
365 19 20 34 PLT Doggone awkward angle I have here. You're con-

cerned with all the wrong problems. The lighting
- there's no problem. The concern is getting
your body in the right posture to make the - the
- You have to work for the sextant; the sextant
does not work for you. You've got to turn the
sextant around at the right angle. That seems
to be the - be the biggest stumbling block to the
operation so far.
SPT A note on the drift compensation again. For this

last nightside, I used a drift compensation ...
8 minutes ... we had yesterday ...
PLT Okay,that'swhat I'vegot to do.
SPT ... I had no change in the position of the comet.

I also suspect that the ...
365 19 21 29 PLT There's no way to point. You don't have any way
of pointing at a given star. I can see the star.
How do I point the instrument at that star? It's
just like - by guess and by golly. Yes, I did a
better job in the daytime than I'm doing right
now; I mean with lineup. I practiced in the last
orbit, after it turned daylight. It looks like
I'm going to lose the night before I ever get
these two stars together. I'm sighting on Procyon.
Okay, I'm assuming that's it. Let me see. Focus,
focus, focus. Oh, knocking everything off the
walls here. Sure don't like the instrument in
zero g. Body position is the biggest irritation
right now, getting the right body position. You
have to work yourself around so that you got your
body in the right position to line up. Okay, let's
see. You want the diopter setting and a tempera-
ture, I think. Okay. Temperature is 75 degrees,
and let's see what the diopter is. Minus 1 - no,
2015
2, add 5 - minus - Guess that's minus 1.6. I

don't know where the index is. There it is. Okay,
minus 1.6.
365 19 23 27 PLT Okay, now let's see if we oan get you some read-
ings. Boy, that sure doesn't look right.
365 19 23 56 CC Skylab, Houston. We have 1 minute to LOS. See

you over Carnarvon in about 30 minutes.
PLT Okay, the first one is 38.585. (Music: "Blue-

grass") Believe I wouldn't bet anybody I got the
right stars either. The thing is that the one I'm
aiming on apparently - Well, I don't know; maybe
so. Okay, let's try again here.
PLT Okay, there we go. 38.573, number 2; number 3,

38.572; number _, 38.577. What happened? There
we go. Number 5, 38.588. (Music: "Blowing in
the Wind" )
365 19 27 26 PLT Number 6, 38.588. Think we have a mechanical

problem in the gears backlashing us; friction and
friction and all that good stuff. 38.562, 38.56h.
There we go. 38.572, 38.560, 38.555, 38.561,
38.565, 38.571, 38.571, 38.588, 38.572, 38.571,
38.550.
365 19 32 35 PLT I think that the variation here is not doing -

sighting it through the mechanical backlash. I
was trying to turn it off the same amount, come
in slowly from the same du - coming in from the
same direction. 38.561. I was trying to use the
same amount of offset each time, but - Thought I
had it wired there a minute ago, and I was getting
the same readings. 38.572, 38.562.
365 19 34 07 PLT Overshot. Overshot again. 38.551, and I think

that's a bad reading. Muscle cramp. I'm having -
getting muscle cramps in my arms and in my legs
from trying to get my - hold my body in the right
position to angle between the two stars. I think
that all this overconcern about lighting and
everything is Just a burnt red herring. That's
not the problem at all. The problem is getting
to a body position so that you can hold a - the
sextant properly oriented between the two stars.
Okay, I'll change my body position; let's see if
f
2016
I do any better. Making sure I've got Procyon

there .... No, I sure don't. Have to go back
to the floor. There's just no - no comfortable
position for this particular operation. And not
that that's a - Not - not complaining; I'm Just
saying that that affects the - the results.
365 19 35 39 PLT Okay. Let's give you a few more here. 38.562,
38.573, 38.577, 38.577. Oh, let's throw that one
out. Let's do that again. I Just didn't - Okay,
that's a good one, 38.563 - 4; 38.564. 38.566,
38.555, 38.562, 38.581, 38.562, 38.565, 38.572,
38.572, 38.565, 38.571, 38.565, 38.568. Okay, and
I'm going to stop, and I'm going to give you my
zeros.
365 19 43 13 PLT Okay, I got Sirius; it's in a comfortable posi-

tion; I'm going to use it. 000.3 - .29, 000.25,
000.27, 000.31. Shucks. That came from the
wrong direction. 000.28, 000.26, 000.32. Looks
like I overshot on that thing. You might throw
that one out. Yes. 000.31; that's a good one;
was a good one. 000.30, 000.32, 000.32, 000.32,
000.37. The longer I do these, the bigger the
numbers get. 000.32, 000.34.
365 19 47 35 PLT Okay, give you 15 between Rigel and Sirius; get
comfortable. That looks to me - I'm going to
estimate about, oh, 21 degrees; see how close I
get on that. 20 degrees; let's see what it looks
like. Okay, Sirius, come in there, boy.
PLT Come on. This can't be that hard to find. Let's

see. The big problem is as I hold this thing in
my hand, the strap's in the wrong angle for
pointing it. Ought to have some way of subjec-
tively pointing at the stars. One of the problems
- Okay, that should be it.
365 19 50 04 CC Skylab, Houston. With you through Carnarvon for

the next - for the next 9 minutes.
PLT Straight out there all by itself. Should be

brighter than that. Well, perhaps not.
SPT Roger, Houston.

2017
CDR Hello, Houston.
PLT 15 degrees. That's not right. Well, maybe it is.

Okay, let's try 20 again. Okay, there's Orion's
belt.
365 19 51 50 PLT Okay. I'ii give you a few readings, like I said,
on Sirius and Rigel. 23.715, 23.711.
365 19 52 26 CC Skylab, Houston. Concerning your question on

VTR availability, it looks like ...
PLT 23.710.
CC ...
SPT Okay, Karl, I'll finish up the ...
PLT 23.710. 23.714. 23.711; that's 23.711. 23.712.
CC Ed, that - -
PLT 23.715.
CC - - that TV-77 today was a prep. We weren't ex-

pecting any TV-77. Could you give us further
verification?
365 19 54 02 SPT ...
PLT 23.712.
SPT ... TV-77 ...
PLT 23.710.
SPT ...
PLT 23.716. It's getting light. Now I'll go ahead

and take some more just to show you that I can
get them in the daylight.
CC ...
SPT ...
PLT 23.717, 23.714, 23.716, 23.715, 23.716. See a

few sparklies out there. 23.716.
2018
365 19 56 09 CC Skylab, Houston. Thinking more about TV-77, we're

glad to see that you're getting ahead of us down
here. And for your - for your information, we
will have an hour or - -
PLT 23.714.
CC - - 77. We'll check over what you've got already

and let you know where you cut in tomorrow.
PLT Okay, 23.721.
SPT ...
CC Right; we'll let you know.
PLT 23.714. Getting pretty light out there now, but

I can still see them. 23.715, 23.715. Okay, I'm
going to take some - another - some more zero
bias. Well, I need to know what the temperature
is on that. Temperature now is 81 degrees, and
that's at 19:58. I was going to try to get you
five more quick null biases. See if I can work
that in here on old Sirius down there. Okay.
365 19 58 29 CC Skylab, Houston. We're going to have a 1-minute

dropout between Carnarvon and Honeysuckle. See
you in about a minute.
PLT Okay, null bias, 000.29. That's Just what it was.

000.31, 000.33, 000.33, 000.33, 000.28. And I've
twisted it off the wrong way and then had to go
back. I think all these errors are due to back-
lashed in the gearing. Oh, I don't - they're not
all of them, but the big ones. 000.06. And
stopping. Temperature is - again is about 83 de-
grees now. Hot breath on it, I guess.
365 20 O0 29 PLT And the PLT is out.
365 20 19 40 PLT PLT. The time is 16:18 [sic]. M092. Subject is

the SPT. Charlie Juliett and Alfa Quebec are the
legband ID numbers. The calf measurements are
13-5/8 and 13-1/2, left and right legs, respec-
tively.
365 20 20 02 PLT PLT out.

2019
TIME SKIP
365 21 05 19 PLT Okay; PLT. Time is 21:05. Trying to get a little

better handle on this T002 in-flight equipment.
And I'm going to take some zero bias readings.
Also, I'm going to try some readings between
Aldebaran and Rigel. And it shouldn't take too
long. Okay, the temperature is now - on the in-
strument is 79 degrees. First, I'll do a zero
bias. Okay, 000.17; this is on Rigel. 000.23,
000.26, 000.25, 000.11, 000.13, 000.22, 000.22,
000.218, 000.23, 000.25, 000.18, 000.22, 000.26,
000.26, 000.26, 000.27, 000.28.
365 21 ll 48 SPT Bill, can I use the recorder for about 30 seconds?
PLT Yes. Go.
365 21 ll 53 SPT SPT at 23 - 21:12. M093 total work load three ...
365 21 12 01 SPT SPT out.
PLT And PLT reporting the start at 19:15, the comple-

tion at i - 21. Make it start at 20:15 and the
completion at 19:12 for 92, 93 runs. Okay, I'm
pressing on now with the Aldebaran and - Rigel's
about 26 degrees, I estimated. No, estimate
about 25, I think. I just took a quick look at
it; looked like it was about 26 degrees. I'll
get 15 quick marks, another zero bias, and we'll
call it quits for tod_y.
365 21 13 18 PLT Okay, 26.522, 26.527, 26.521, 26.526, 26.526,

26.527, 26.521, 26. - Let's throw that one out.
I overshot on it. 26.521, 26.521, 26.515 - a
good mark. Wasn't a good one, but I mean it's a
valid one. 26.520, 26.521, 26.516, 26.521,
26.521, 26.522, 26.518, 26.521 - -
365 21 18 lh CC Skylab, this is Houston through Tananarive for

4 minutes.
PLT - - 26.517 - -
CDR Roger.
PLT - - 26.517, 26.526, 26.521, 26.535, 26.517,

26.515. Okay, that's enough.
F-
2020
365 21 19 42 PLT I'm going to do the other no bias real quick.
PLT Here's one on Sirius.
365 21 19 48 CC Skylab, Houston. We'd like to note that your

description of the comet this morning has got
our camet experts all excited. There's obviously
been quite a change in its structure, which more
or less confirms what we expect.
CDR Bill, did you - did you say something?
PLT Yes, I gave them that description of the - of the

electrical nature of the - the tail and the fact
that the brightening was sort of graded - graded
out fram the nucleus.
CDR Yes, I thought I told them that yesterday.
PLT What's that?
365 21 20 B0 CC We had a dropout there in a keyhole, and I was

Just saying that the change in structure this
morning has got people very excited. And if you
could possibly find time today to record what you
saw, in terms of a drawing for future reference,
we would very much appreciate it. The sketch you
sent down a couple of days ago was highly useful.
CDR Okay, Karl.
PLT Probably what Ed was talking to them about; I -

I don't think that what I told them would excite
th_n very much.
SPT Yes, I don't - I don't know what it is either; I

don't know why they're so excited. There hasn't
been that much change in structure. Say, Karl,
we'd like a clarification on your statement.
Could you state the change which you folks think
we have recorded? We have seen some change, but
not a - not a great amount. We'd like to make
sure we're both talking about the same thing.
365 21 21 30 PLT Okay, now bias: 000.26, 000.15. I think one of

the things I mentioned, Ed, was the fact that the
light part is not all concentrated right around
2021
the nucleus and the coma now. It - As I was look-

ing at it through the binoculars, it seemed to be
sort of graded and - graded out into the tail. It
doesn't - There's no fine demarcation at all.
SPT Yes, I think - -
CDR *** the comet is no longer a single ball?
PLT Well, there - there is a definite grading of the

brightening from the coma out into the tail. It -
it doesn't - you know, just - not just a bright
spot and then thoroughly uniform brightness in the
tail. I saw - I'm not even sure I said this on
the loop by the way, but -
365 21 22 31 SPT That's what our sketch showed - was that there was
a grading of brightness all around the tail.
CDR Karl what's so spectacular?
SPT I don't think we ever showed or told them about

the - before about how it - -
f
CDR That's just corroborating what we said before, and

I'm surprised that they've really Jumped on it.
PLT Me, too.
SPT Where - What - what small difference there is now

though, however, is the tail looks more like a
flame - in other words, where it's more concen-
trated toward the base.
365 21 23 07 PLT Okay, going on with the null bias: 000.26,

000.27, 000.28, 000.27, 000.27, 000.27, 000.33,
000.24 - .24, 000.27, 000.00 - Hmm that doesn't
look right. This is definitely a fatigue factor
on this. 000.24, 000.26. I don't know how that
odd reading got in there. 000.25, 000.25, 000.27,
000.25, 000.20, 000.27, 000.24. PLT concluding
the zero bias. And temperature reading - Let's
see.
365 21 27 00 PLT Where did my flashlight go? Temperature reading

is 81 degrees. So we got - let's see - another
star pair there; that was Aldebaran and Rigel.
So we got three star pairs. They ought to be
pretty good for a star star - start.
2O22
365 21 27 26 PLT PLT out.
365 21 34 17 PLT This is PLT. The time is i ... 35. At 21:35,

X-ray 6, 93; Yankee 5, 96; Yankee 6, 96: Zulu 5,
96; Julu 6, 96.
365 21 34 37 PLT PLT out.
365 21 36 06 PLT Okay, it's the PLT. M487-2 Charlie. M487-2

Charlie; time is 21:36; page 2-5, Eval Checklist.
Voice record the debriefing. Which is preferable,
the floor/ceiling orientation of the 0WS or the
open, cylindrical arrangement of the MDA/STS? In
so far as the experience gained in this endeavor,
I would say that the OWS floor/ceiling arrangement
is much preferable. But I think that has to be
modified with fact by the fact that I think the -
the numbering and the restraint provisions - the
numbering system and the restraint provisions of
the MDA/STS are very poor. So I think rather
than directing the contrast between a physical
arrangement of floor/ceiling, rather than against
- versus cylindrical, one would have to bear in
mind the fact that the MDA and STS are very poorly
numbered and have pretty poor - poor foot re-
straints.
365 21 37 43 PLT How do the tasks to be performed influence your

preference of orientation?
PLT The tasks definitely influence the performance -

or preference of orientation, mainly because of
the way things turn. Take, for instance, the
crank handle on the STS window; it takes about
45 or 50 pounds of force to move the crank. And
you definitely prefer an orientation for that be-
cause there are no foot restraints and there are
no hand restraints and also it's a knuckle-busting
operation.
365 21 38 ll PLT So you naturally try to get in the right position

to do that with a minimum of physical damage to
your hands. Also, by lookung out the window you
find yourself orienting - orienting with the hori-
zon or with a certain angle in order to read a map
properly or in order to get the best angle. The -
I Just did a T002, which was a very good example.
2023
It's where I kept wanting to - I had to move the

sextant a certain way in order to get two stars
in the sextant. The vertical - The plane of sym-
metry of the sextant had to pass through the two
stars. This means you have to move your head.
PLT Well, the two stars weren't picked so that they

were perpendicular to the floor of the wardroom;
so I had - it was a very awkward posture. And I
finally ended up - After I did the - those two
stars, I picked two others - two other star pairs
that - and did them to see if it was influencing -
adversely influencing. But there's a case where
you need to do something oriented to a certain
special operation - in this case, two stars - and
it was - it conflicted with the rigid arrangement
of the - these floor/ceilings in the wardroom.
365 21 39 20 PLT I think that there are a lot of - if - one has

to - very - look very, very closely at - at the
task that had to be performed and see whether or
not you have designed the task to fit the floor
or whether you have to modify the physical - the
physical arrangementto fit the - the task. That's
a very important point and should not be taken
lightly.
PLT It's a good question.
PLT How adequate are the restraints and the mobility

aids throughout the orbital assembly? Are more
needed? Where? And some necess - unnecessary?
Which ones? They're still not adequate around.
I mean, I still thrash all over the place. At the
film locker I don't have places to stow papers.
Again, I've hit on this thing of stowing small
items in high traffic areas.
365 21 40 07 PLT When you're doing a lot of work in the film vault,
or when - M509 or at the SAL, you need beaucoup
places to stick little pieces of paper under clips
and Velcro patches and pegboard hole patterns to
stick stuff in. And it is Just completely under-
designed in that respect. We Just need much,
much, much, much, more of that - that sort of
thing.

PLT Are more needed? Yes. And I think, again, one

has to look very carefully at what you are going
to do. But in any case, you're going to be han-
dling papers, and you're going to be handling
multiple pieces of hard - hardware of varying
sizes. And one needs a way to stow that stuff
temporarily while you're working at it, particu-
larly around the film vaults, cameras, film packs,
cassettes, filters, ring sights, lens- lenses,
batteries, you name it, the photo tom - photomic
head. We're always cycling these things around
the transporters. The film cassettes that fit in
the transporters - taking them off, putting them
on, putting them - stowing them, changing them
out, and handling themand Juggling - doing a
five-ball Juggling contest there in zero g.
365 21 41 14 SPT It was Just - I would say that as far as restraints

from the handling equipment, that the orbital as-
sembly is totally inadequate. I don't think we
were smart enough. I - that - that is not meant
to be destructive criticism. That - that is meant
to be a positive comment. Are more needed? Ob-
viously, yes. Well, of course, the MDA and the
STS, I took apart the other day. I think that
they're both very, very ba - bad. I don't want to
kick a dead horse. Are - are some unnecessary? I
can't think of any restraints that are unnecessary.
You can - unless you can talk about the ergometer.
PLT We took the feet off, but the other restraints -

they were necessary. The M131 chair is a good ex-
ample of how you can screw up a design on re-
straint. The belt didn't even hold you in there.
It didn't - it had to be modified, and still it
was difficult to tie it down. And again that was
just a case of - no one in the world was smart
enough to know how to put a - you know, how to
design a belt. So, again, that's not meant to be
hy - hypercritical of that piece of equipment.
365 21 42 13 SPT When you lie down on that chair, the same thing.
Any - anytime you have to assume a certain pos-
ture - a sitting posture, you - you're in trouble;
you've got to have force to hold you there. And
I've also pointed this out, that - that in the -
the John the same way - the toilet. You need -
The stuff needs to be sort of chin high to you.
We've talked about that before.
2025
PLT I think that the - the people that have flown on

Skylab should be in a rather unique position to -
to at least describe or assess requirements for a
given task in future designs. Right now I Just -
I - it's very difficult to state anything other
than a very vague, general principle that - when
you go - if you have a place at the workstation
or if you have a high traffic area for work,
you're going to need lots of restraints.
365 21 43 04 PLT You need - you need general volume restraints for
holding small articles, and you need restraints
for pieces of paper and documents, big thick
checklists, as well as thin pieces of teleprinter
paper. And you also need restraints for your bod.
You need to restrain items so that you can work on
them; that is, Velcro them out in the open. You
need to restrain items Just for temporary stowage,
like use a large bag with a plastic overlapping
slit in the front so that you can stick things in
there and then reach in there and get them out
easy. It needs to be transparent because if you
just give me a bag, I reach in there for the item
_ that I want, I throw it out, and 15 other things
come along with it.
PLT I need to be able to reach in there visually and

nab the item I'm after and not pull a lot of other
things out with it. This bag - That thing - that
thing needs to be talked to death after we get
back on the ground, and I think these are excel-
lent questions. Number 3: How often have environ-
mental factors - noise, temp, airflow, illumina-
tion - interfered with your ability to perform a
task?
365 21 42 08 PLT Noise is our problem always. Ed Gibson is right

now - He's down there ri - riding the ergometer;
I doubt it you can hear it on the loop, but I can
hear it quite well--
CREW ...
PLT - - the ATM pumps are loud. The Mark I exerciser

is loud. The pumps - All the pumps are loud. The
rate gyros are loud. Some people are easily dis-
tracted by noise; others aren't. So I think you
2O26
ought to at least direct - It's a good question,

and Just because one person says "That noise
doesn't bother me." doesn't mean - it may Just
completely dis - discombobulate the next guy.
PLT Some people Just handle - handle extraneous inputs

differently in their mind and brain. Temperature
hasn't really been a problem to me, although it seems
to bother me more in this environment. Now you'd
think it'd be less because you - your skin could
evaporate quicker. But we have trouble keeping
fluids in our body too.
PLT Airflow - airflow bothers me a little bit. I need a -

I want a - I want airflow in my sleep compartment to
keep me cool, but it also sort of stuffs me up a
little bit and toward - along toward the wakeup
tim e.
365 21 _5 09 PLT Illumination. Interior reflections, side reflec-

tions for looking out windows are really a problem,
particularly in sightings - huge instruments that
use sighting. Of course, we kill lights and all
that.
PLT Have any of these factors interfered with your

ability to sleep? The temperature, to some degree.
I don't think it's all that important, at least
in my case.
PLT 4. What unique off-duty activities have you - have -

you devised to supplement those provided in the
ODAE kit? Oh, not much I sup - I don't think.
We haven't had time to do any.
365 21 45 50 PLT What rec_endation do you have for improving

recreational facilities and equipment for future
programs? I think we ought to have better tape
recorders. We ought to have the ability - this
is only for recreation - we ought to have the
ability to have television on board. And - and
also why can't - If we ever have a global satellite
system, we ought to have some, you know, Just be
able to tune in commercial stations, radio and
television. I like the headphones. I use them
while I'm riding the bicycle. We don't have
enough really for our sleep compartments because
we'd have to keep moving them around. We have
them located out around the - the workshop though.
2027
But I would like to have some in the sleep compart-

ments. It's Just too much trouble to move them
right now. The way they have the time lines
fixed, there's Just no way that you're going to
get too much done.
365 21 46 33 PLT We do our reading while we're in the LBNP or

doing something else. In other words, we have been
able to read, but we have to sort of steal the
time to do it; and we do it while we're taking
care of other scheduled activities which don't
require full attention. I - I also read the
book while I'm on the treadmill. The tape recorder
definitely has to be better. As far as the
playing cards, I think you can forget that kind
of stuff because - of course, we - Maybe you
shouldn't. Now I don't want to go off halfcocked,
because we just haven't had time to do anything.
If you come up with something like a diffuser
table, you know, that would have that - the air-
flow, then you could play cards. The cards would
actually hold down very nicely on there. At least
the bottom card would, I guess. The other cards
would fly off though, if you were putting a deck
on thetable.
365 21 47 23 PLT Okay, are such items an important consideration

for a mission the length of yours? I think they
definitely are. I think we've really enjoyed the
tape recorders, even though they are recorders of
sort of marginal quality. That has - I mean they
- they were - they were - That's what they were.
They were Just inexpensive recorders. I think
that probably people would want books, and I
think they would want the ability to record
easily. We can't record on these recorders with-
out having to hold a button down the full time.
I would have - I was getting ready to modify a
recorder to use for briefing during M509 run.
365 21 47 55 PLT I was going to get some batteries out and put it
in the - put it on there and tape the thing on
the M509 so I could give Bruce and Whitsett a
real good debriefing as I was flying M509. Well,
you've got to hold that cottonpicking button down
on the tape recorder the whole time. So I mean,
obviously, I can't do that. I guess I could tape
it down, but that seems a little bit extreme.
2O28
That - that whole idea of recreation there - I get

more kick out of looking out the window and having
time to look out the window than - having good
optical equil_nent. I would say a good set of
gyro-stabilized binoculars would be excellent.
These that we have, they - the inner pupilar -
inner ocular adjustment isn't narrow enough for
my eyes; so the gyro-stabilized binoculars have
a sort of a design deficiency in that respect.
I'd like to emphasize that, because I can't
imagine why they'd design them that way. But I
think gyro-stabilized binoculars would really be
great, if they were good ones. And I don't
consider the ones that we have satisfactory.
365 21 48 53 PLT In terms of your zero-g living and working experience

during this mission - Oh, by the way, on that
recreation thing, I think csmeras and a certain
amount of dedicated film for recreation purposes
would be great. A lot of times we see things
we'd like to take a picture of but we're sort
of reluctant to do it because it's sort of a
"gee whiz" picture, you know? But it'd be nice,
you know, to have that for your own - or at least
have it availableto get a copy of.
PLT I'm not saying we have our own f_]m, but have
film that - that's available for - you know, Just
go ahead and take whatever you want to. We really
have that now, but it- we still feel that it was
- a strong sense of responsibility to make sure
that there's some kind of good data in the pic-
ture that we take.
365 21 49 32 PLT In terms of your zero-g living - Oh, another thing

for recreation. I think we definitely ought to
have something to eat of a pleasure nature. This
food experiment we got on this thing is - I think,
is highly detrimental to morale as far as the
recreation and feeling good sort of thing, in
the sense that it does not provide what I call
pleasure food. Now I'm a big candy eater myself.
Another guy might like to eat peanuts. I like
peanuts too, but I mean he might like something
else. I think that we've really missed the boat
on this flight by not putting on some pleasure
food like candy bars or whatever a guy likes.
2029
They - they - they - We were - had a very strict

control over what we could eat, and perhaps there
were very good - At least they say there's a
very good reason for this. I have no reason to
question it. I think that the metabolic analysis
has to be done, but I think that you - if you
continue this, that you really take away something
that can provide a lot - a lot of pleasure and
at least relief - temporary relief in relieving
mental pressure and that sort of thing for a
person, and that is eat what you want to. They
have - You know, have lots of sort of snack type
things that you eat when a person like them.
B65 21 50 44 PLT In terms of your zero-g living and working

experiences during this mission, what specific
habitability improvements would you recommend for
the next Skylab crew; for fUture program_? In
terms of zero-g living and working experiences
during this mission, what specific habitability -
habitability improvements would you recommend for
the next Skylab crew? Okay, I have to think about
that for a minute.
"-- 365 21 51 08 PLT One of the big problems is hygiene and washing.
I would like to be able to stick my hands into an
autoclave of seine kind and wash them without
having water - you know, really wash them down,
without having water fly all over everything.
The same thing with my face. The razors aren't
very good. The - That windup razor is - is useless
as far as I'm concerned. Jerry can use it, but
I can't. The habitability - I think that the food
is part of habitability, and I've already mentioned
that in the previous question. The - the re-
straints make it a - the lack of restraints have
made it sort of difficult to - to move around in
here. Working experience - What specific habit-
ability improvements would you recommend for the
next Skylab crew; for future program_?
365 21 52 02 FLT I'll think about that one for a minute, but I
think we do need more windows in the spacecraft.
And I think they need to be larger or at least
domed out so you can see more of the - of the area.
That has nothing particularly to do with
habit ability.
2030
PLT I think the - the universal - Well, that's univer-

sal handle; that's camera equipment, l'm looking
around here. Oh, the water system. Yes. That's
part of habitability. That's - that's really a
crazy apparatus. The hardware is all very poorly
lettered and numbered and identified. The nomen-
clature is bad. It's nonexistent on a lot of
pieces; it's hard to find things that you want.
And when you switch water tanks, one ordeal is
you have to switch from one water tAn_ to the
other. It's no big deal. I Just don't think a
syst_n ought to be that way. I think that you
ought - you ought to have an interconnect and
that ought to - Well, maybe - maybe we do want it
manual. Maybe we do want it to sit this way so
we don't have to worry about remote controls.
365 21 53 02 PLT Lighting. As far as l'm concerned, lighting

has been no probl_n. Comm is a problem. We have
trouble using the recorders. Right now l'm
tying up the recorder for quite a period of time
and - and Jerry is probably up there waiting to
debrief an ATM pass. I think there ought to be
a separate recorder in each SIA or station or
whatever it is. -
PLT The SIAs constitute a habitability deficit as far

as l'm concerned. They're ver - the - You're
always screwing them up. Habitability - By the
way - Oh, yes, I know one general, philo - philo-
sophical approach to habitability is that there
seems to he - and l've heard other crews mention
this, too - there seems to be a preferred up and
down orientation in volume. I mean you get used
to working them that way.
PLT I mean we always walk across - or go across the

floor upright ... I suppose we go upside down
occasionally, but mainly people put themselves in
a one g, upright position to - to do tasks. And
I think that the MDA and the STS may be - This is
one of the reasons that they got in - in trouble.
Of course, they Just didn't make the numbers big
enough in a lot of cases. That's another thing,
too. There's no reason to make numerals small
like they are. l'm looking at duct number 2 right
now in the forward compartment.
2031
365 21 54 20 PLT And the DUCT 2 is in very small letters. It's

that DUCT is in letters about 1/4 to 3/8 inch
high. The number 2 is about 1 inch high. There's
no reason - That is, that could Just as easily be
1-inch-high letters in DUCT or 2-inch-high letters
in DUCT and a great big number 2, about 3 or 4
inches high. I mean, why penalize us by - by put-
ting small numerals on this so that we have trouble
seeing them from a - not trouble seeing them from
a distance; I can read them lO feet away - but you
have to look in order to find them. Now on - on
pieces of hardware around, I'm looking all the way
across to 505, and I could see it all - 20 feet
across on the - from the other side of the work-
shop, which is the water purification. But there
is no earthly reason why that 505 shouldn't be
great big numbers and just jump right out at me.
365 21 55 09 PLT We - I find it difficult to - to locate some -

locate items around here. And as far as I'm con-
cerned, that is a habitability problem. And,
also, while I'm thinking about it, the sleep re-
straints don't have nomenclature on them.
r
PLT The outer blanket and the inner blanket and all
that stuff; all they have are serial numbers on
them. The water system parts are the same way.
This is all part of habitability in that it - it
has to do with finding things and identifying
them as a certain item in question. And serial
numbers are great, but doggone, don't stop there.
Give us the working nomenclature on it too.
Another thing that is bad about habitability is
the fire sensors. The fire sensor control panel
has a number on it, and the fire sensor itself
has a number on it. And they're the same number;
but this morning we had a fire alarm while I was
on the ergometer, and it took me 2 or 3 minutes
to find the cottonpicking sensor associated with
that panel.
365 21 56 03 PLT That panel was 619 or 691 or whatever it was; I

forget. And then I - I knew I had to go find
sensor 691, and the doggone nomenclature was up
on the ceiling. Well, this is a habitability
problem in that it directly impacts crew safety.
And there's no earthly reason that that number
2032
shouldn't have been in 2-inch-high letters 8/1 the

way on each side of t_at fire sensor itself. But
it wasn't. On the sensor, it has a Beta boot [?];
I know that. It ought to have a great big arrow
too, showing which way it 's looking.
PLT But it took me a while to flnd the sensor, and

then I made a mistake in interpreting the direc-
tion in which it was looking because the Beta
boots have two cutouts on them and - in order to -
to be universally applicable to the different sen-
sor locations, apparently. I guess that's what it
is.
365 21 56 48 PLT But I misinterpreted the direction in which the

sensor was located because I saw the cutout in the
Beta boot and interpreted that as a recess for
that - for the little eyeball in which - In fact,
the eyeball was around on the other side of the
thing, 180 degrees out. Okay, that's a habita-
bility item, and we - the crew safety items that
impact habitability ought to be sort of, you know,
don't have to hunt and peck and look and search
and find in order to find - and inter - to find
information, interpret information, and- and in-
terpret the - the sensor's output. Okay, let's
see. What specific habitability improvements -
I'm going to think about that one some more be-
cause I know there are things llke traffic flow
in the head.
365 21 57 37 PLT A guy that's in the head right now shaving, com-
pletely blocks the entrance. The other guy could
go in there and urinate if he wanted. You know_
there would be no im - impact there. I think we -
we have a way to go as far as architectural layout
for habitability. Traffic flow through the air-
lock - I've already mentioned in - in a previous
debriefing - that too much traffic through that
airlock. Airlock ought to be located someplace
else. At least, if they're - if they're going to
be located there, it ought to be bigger.
PLT 0k_, habitability - Clothes haven't been t_o much

of a problem. It seems to me we ought to have
seine kind of washing machine on a future long -
long-duration mission. It - it seems - I think
the way that - You could probably do a study and
2Q33
find out there is a trade-off on the weight of a

washing machine or at least have something to
wash clothes.
365 21 58 25 PLT Of course, that's loading on however - how many

pounds we have. That's for some mission planner
to work out, though. That's not my - my purpose,
but it - it is sort of an interesting thing at
least to point out. Another thing too, by the
way, that's a habitability concern: We've lost
the SMMD weights. I've lost the medication. It
Just drifts away. You never see it again. Some
of the stuff Just traditionally or periodically
shows up. You lose it, and it always shows up
on a diffuser screen. You lose other things and
never see them again. I think we're going to have
to do - look very, very, very closely at future
spacecraft design as far as sealing off vol_ne is
concerned. In other words, say you - you specify
that a certain vol_ne will be sealed off so that
anything larger than 2 millimeters in - in diameter
will - will be held out into the working voltnne
and will be visually accessible - visually accessible
.- by thecrew.
365 21 59 21 PLT In other words, you can go around and look and find
things, and you can search the spacecraft for an
item. And if you can't find it, you figure, well,
man, that's a real mystery. In other words, you
should be able to find an item if you lose it.
And that - I think that's a habitability problem
to point out. Okay, let's press on.
PLT Discuss both the beneficial and the detrimental
effects of zero g on the following types of
activities. Individual work activities while
restrained at a specific work location: Okay,
if you're restrained in zero g, the only - the
only disadvantage of zero g is the upright
preference of the body posture.
365 21 59 58 PLT If you are hunching over an object, like we do

at the SAL a lot, that's an awkward posture.
Zero g can work against you as well as for you.
It tends to straighten you up; so if your work
posture is a crouched-over or a bent-over position
at the waist, then you're expending extra energy and
zero g is hurting you. Handling and transferring
2034
various sized equipment items - s_-11, reed/urn,and

large: Apparently, the - the big help is that
you don't have to worry about lifting against the
one-g force field. And the big problem, of
course, is - is moving from one place to another
and not hinging something in the process. Other
than that, I don't think there's a big problem, and
I think it's quite easy to move things around in
zero g. You Just have to look where you're going.
365 22 00 41 PLT Work activities requiring assistance from another

crewman: Not too - That hasn't been too much of
a problem. We usually can pass things to each
other in zero g quite handily. As far as working
together in zero g at a specific location, I don't
know. Personal maintenance activities - personal
hygiene, donning/doffing garments : Well, bending
over to tie your shoes is a big task.
365 22 01 i0 PLT Putting the suit on for EVA is a big task because
anything that requires you to bend over like that
turns out to be a - about three or four times,
maybe i0 times as hard here in zero g as it is in
one g because, strange as it may seem, that one-g
force field pulling your head and shoulders and
torso down really is a big help. And donning the
suit, we've found is extremely difficult Just
from the standpoint of the - the difficulty of
bending over at the waist.
PLT Waste management and clean up chores : Again,

water spatter is a big problem there, l've
already mentioned havin_ lots of tissue and certain
types of blotting devices for handling the problems
that occur - peculiar problems that occur in the
waste management area. But I think in the future,
in spacecrafts you ought to be able to have one
place for washing your hands and shaving and that
sort of thing, and another place for going to the
bathroom and taking care of the bodily functions.
It's - I think it's preferable from a hygiene
standpoint, and I think it's also preferable from
a traffic flow standpoint.
365 22 02 12 PLT I think that the - you ought to have a place to

wash your hands and a place where you defecate and
urinate, but you also ought to have a separate
place for shaving and taking care of routine primp-
ing and - and - and cleaning up - combing hair and
2O35
washing, brushing your teeth. And - I - I person-

ally don't like these little Dopp kits too well.
Now Jerry likes them and thinks they're great. I
Just think there's a better way of managing them -
managing that - all those items.
PLT Locomotion in and through the various OA compart-

ments: That's no big problem. I Just - We Just
have not had any problem there at all. And the
only thing that we have to worry about is, in the
MDA, we have the rate gyros in there. Again, this
is not - not another kick against the MDA, but if
the - if the rate gyros are located in there, we
have to be very, very, very careful.
365 22 03 00 PLT Windows are another thing that you have to be

careful for because you Just get carried away
with the ability to move rapidly in zero g.
PLT How satisfactory is the frequency of change of

bedding, clothing, and towel/washcloths? Okay,
frequency of change of bedding : I Just think
that we don't need to change it as often as is
specified. Clothing: Well, I would like to
change underwear every day. We don't have enough.
This is why I think maybe the washing machine
might help. Towel/washcloths: We should have -
I think we ought to have two towels - or, excuse
me - yes, well at least one towel a day, prefer-
ably two, and two to three washcloths a day or a
way to clean them, wash them. So that's what I
think about that.
365 22 03 40 PLT PLT out.
365 22 17 23 SPT SPT at 22:17. HHIlI, A4_ua, Blance Fault. Just

a quick observation out the window as we came
across it around 2 or 3 minutes ago. The first
thing that I saw was the Gulf of California. I
can see it very plainly as it's drawn in the fig-
ure. Well, let me refer you to it. Hold on.
365 22 18 01 SPT The figure is example 10-6 in our book. And I

can see it Just about as far across as you have
it drawn there; that is, maybe 3/4 of the way to
the coastline. But then you lose it for a bit,
but then it seems to pick up again. But rather
than being a - a fault that looks like a river
2036
valley, a - a fault which has been - which there

has been a fair amount of erosion to cause it to
- to be below the norw_1 level of the surface.
And I'll show you the sides in these books. You
see it as a series of peaks, almnst a - a knife
edge sticking up.
SPT It then drops off again as you get close to the

coastline. Now it - between the part where it
appears like a nominal fault or a classic fault,
it would turn surface. There's - Looks like
blowing sand or silt, loose soil, and then you
pick up the knife edge which I talked about ; and
then again it decreases into the silt or blowing
soil. It's all in one line, and it sure looks
like it's a11 one related feature. I could not
see any offsets. I was not looking for that at
the moment. I wanted to make sure I had the right
area and the right - and the right linear or
straight line relationship between the two features.
365 22 19 39 SPT SPT out.
365 22 29 18 CDR This is the CDR at 22:29 Zulu, debridfing the

21:40 ATM pass. It consisted of a string of
J0P 1 Deltas. We did two step l's and a step 4.
The first step 1 was building block 10. I picked
an area where there was a pretty good fur around
the outside of the - you know, on the outer part
of the limb. And I could see no individual spic-
ules, but this was a pretty nice clumpy area.
And the ROLL was minus 0087. And when I stepped
the end of 82B plus 6 off the upper limb, we had
a - a UP/DOWN, FINE SUN SENSOR position of plus
1006. I ran the building block without any problem
and then moved on to the next 1D, step l, which is
another building block 10. And the only difference
I could see between the two is that we changed the
GRATING POSITION from all zips to 200.
365 22 30 28 CDR I ran that one without any problems, and then
with 27 minutes to go, the " we did a J0P 1D,
step h, which is a building block 28.
CDR I moved the pointing down to an UP/DOWN of plus

980 in order to m_e sure that the mini-MAR was
getting the whole spicule, right from the inner
limb all the way out. That particular sequence
2037
went with no problem whatsoever, and the - And

that Just about covers it. I took a - a couple
of peeks at the XUV MON, and it's even more un-
interesting than it was yesterday. The east limb,
AR double zero and all the rest of them are Just
about gone over the limb. There's little fuzz
on the limb now. And the east limb has no bright-
ness on it, whereas there was some yesterday.
There is a bright spot s]most in the exact center
of the Sun; a small bright area - very small.
And it's been there all day; it's very stable.
And there just really isn't too much to be said
about it.
CDR The white light coronagraph, I took a look at, and

I see no - no change in that since the picture that
was taken this morning. That should be about it.
365 22 31 55 CDR CDR out.
365 22 39 09 PLT Seems to be the prevalent length -
365 22 39 23 PLT There are three bands in the airglow if you can
get some -
f
PLT - they're visually able to see. The comet is

longer and greater in length now than the airglow
is as it is seen from the spacecraft. I think it's
probably even longer that that, but all three of
us agree that there was a dramatic increase in
the length of the - of the tail.
365 22 39 54 PLT It still has the - I can still see a sunward spike
or something like that.
TIME SKIP
365 23 25 46 PLT Okay; PLT. Subject is T002-4 stadimeter. I'm -

I'm doing a trial balloon here. I'm trying to
sort of run an evaluation on it. So I thought I
might as well go ahead and give you the data as
long as I was doing it. So what I'm doing is, I'm
giving some stadimeter readings. And I've never
done this before; so I'm going to give the data
on the tape, and you can take a look at it for
fr
2O38
whatever it's worth. Trying something ... Be-

cause of the position of the horizon and the win-
dow, I'm holding - holding it upside down.
Stand by. Okay -

365 23 28 33 PLT PLT out.
365 23 28 42 PLT PLT. Comment on previous. One of the big problems

there - I'm sure you've been told about it before
- is in knowing which lines to line up. I mean,
certainly in using the straight-out horizon, m,y-
be you have a pretty - fairly distinct line on
the horizon, and another part of the horizon will
actually be very gray and fuzzy. And it seems
like you're really running a sort of a subjective
evaluation there when - using a subjective Judg-
ment in determining what, in fact, are the things
to line up. But I didn't - I didn't know how
long that horizon would last. I Just thought I'd
go ahead and throw it in.

###
DAY001(AM) 2039
001 O0 14 50 CDR This is the CDR at 00:14 Zulu debriefing the 18 -

J0P 18D that I Just did. I have to sigh a sigh
of relief on that one. That was a real wrestling
match for the first time. Let's see. Steps 1
through - 1 through i0 - 1 through - yes, i through
ii were no problem - 1 through i0. I was awfully
surprised to see that it took 3 minutes for this
thing to settle after - over the mRneuver time.
And I didn't expect to see that much settling time
required. The - That caused us to kind of get a
late start everywhere else. But we took the long
settling out time. We Just waited and when we
finally - finally did settle out and get - get
the rates down to what I considered reasonable,
then we went ahead and initialized the strapdown
and went to SI.
001 00 15 58 CDR The comet was supposed to have come - come up for
us at minus 100 and plus 70. And, by the way, I
gave you some VTR; I gave you - I gave you some
VTR of nothing too, because I left it on during
the first part of the maneuver. And the CAP C0_4
fortuitously reminded me before I burned up all
f theVTRtape.
001 O0 16 27 CDR Okay, JOP - let's see, step -
CDR Okay. I got interrupted by air-to-ground there

for a minute. Okay, we did step 12 and 13 with
no problems, and lh and 15. Okay. Now what I
need to do now is tell you where the comet showed
up.
001 00 17 12 CDR The comet arrived at a position of minus 120 and

plus ll4, rather than the desired minus 100 and
plus 70. So at 23:07, I did a - a mAueuver -
I'm going to call that - that first position
number 1 - position 1. So I did another - I did
a maneuver at 23:07 to put it at position 2. And
what I tried to maneuver to was a minus 120 and 0;
that is, X of minus 120 and Y of 0. Well, what we
got to from position 1 was minus ll2 and minus 10.
So at 23:11 I did another fine maneuver, still
trying to get to minus 120 and 0, and we got there
with no sweat.
001 00 18 07 CDR So that - with that, and having arrived where I

wanted to be, I went ahead and Jumped on into the
2040
JOP. And from position 3, which was minus 120

and 0, I maneuvered to position 4, which was the
center of the disk or the center of the comet. I
executed that maneuver at 23:15, 23:15, and we
galloped on in there, I hope, and spent some time.
And with a TIME REMAINING of 25, I entered a
m_ueuver to put us to position number 5. And I
decided that rather - that since I came in frcm
6 o'clock, I would go out to 12 o'clock to check.
So this maneuver was in - the desired attitude was
12 - plus 120 in X and O. And the final attitude
I got to - asslrm_ng that I was at the center, my
final attitude for number 5, position 5, was plus
122 and plus l0 in Y.
001 00 19 14 CDR So I made another maneuver to point number 6 to

Just get back on the axis. The desired position
was 120 and 0. And I made the maneuver, and yo -
lo and behold, I got ther@, at position 6; X of
120, Y of 0. So from there, I took a little
Kentucky windage because - Just based on looking
at the - the trajectory from point 3 through 4
to point 5, I took a little Kentucky windage.
And for the maneuver from 5 to 7 - correction,
from 6 to 7, I made th - I made that maneuver -
Let me go back. The maneuver from the center
out to point 5 - from 4 to 5, was done at 23:37.
Beg your pardon. It was done at 23:34, 23:34.
And after - when I made that maneuver, that's when
I arrived at plus 122 and plus 10.
001 00 20 17 CDR Okay. Then the maneuver from there, to get over
to point number 6, which was 1200, that maneuver
was done at 23:36. Okay. Then to go from point
6 back to the center again, which I'm calling
point 7, that maneuver was done at 23: 37. And
the maneuver I did was 50 - 52 - 52021. The
attitudes I requested were 50121, 50005, and 50000.
And then we went motoring back into what I hope
was the center.
001 00 20 59 CDR We stayed there until truncation time, and at

truncation time, I made a maneuver to go out to
the 3 o'clock position. I wanted to go to X of 0
and Y of plus 120. I put that in. The maneuver
I put in was 50121, 50000, 51120, and 50000. I
put that maneuver in at truncation time, which
was 53 - correction, 23:57. And the point we
2Oh1
arrived at, point number 8, was X of 0 and Y of

plus 116. So I felt fairly pleased with that. I
indicated that the last - at least the last half
of our data was probably better than the first
half.
001 00 21 51 CDR Okay, that concludes step number 25 and the

operation of building block 30. I had no problems
with building block 30. I got two RASTERs at a -
at a OPTICAL GRATING POSITION of 574. I got three
RASTERs at 575, and 1-3/4 RASTERs. We stopped
at line 50 at 576. Now the reason why I'm using
optical numbers here is because n_- - my GRATING
was set up based on an OPTICAL ZERO when I started
this thing, so I just used the optical numbers.
So I'm sure those numbers are okay.
001 00 22 35 CDR Okay. At truncation time, as I mentioned, I went

out to point number 8 and looked at it and immedi-
ately entered in the new maneuver time of 8 mlnutes,
which was step number - number 30. Step number 31,
I bungled there. I entered the coarse maneuver,
and then I hit ATTITUDE HOLD. I entered the
coarse maneuver and then about 5 seconds later
f hit ATT HOLD, so I'm sure we hadn't gotten very
far; and I don't think that was the cause of the
RESET. I hit ATT HOLD, and then I reentered the
maneuver, and from then on, I Just watched while
we flew back to the real SOLAR INERTIAL. I
carried out steps 32 and 33, and did the S082
and S055 procedures out of the pad. And at the
end of the maneuver, I verified that the doors
were closed. I initialized the strapdown. And
that's where we sit right now, with a maneuver time
of 13 minutes entered in, and Just waiting for
sunrise.

TIME SKIP
001 O0 53 54 SPT At 05 - or 00:54, S063 set up for ops. It's all

checked out. Both cameras work. There is one
shot taken on each one. We're starting on
frame 38 on the UV camera.
F
2042
SPT And frame number 20 in the visible.
001 00 54 52 SPT Okay, ready for the first exposure. We're at

the initial position. Microswitches both are
up. Exposures, two of them, are set at 8; and 8
on the timer; 8 on the microswitch. Filter is
32 for the first one.
001 00 55 41 SPT And we're standing by for 58. Oh, yes. I'm able
to track real well. Okay. I will say one thing,
though. It's a little ambitious to get both the
- to change both of those during a tracking, the
timer and the filters. But I'll give it a go.
27 and 32 are the filters, 02 and 01. I think
what l'm going to be doing, though - I'ii explain
it before I begin - is to in - to reverse your
frames 05 and 06, so we always have the same
motions involved in all three sequences. That is,
I always go from filter 27 to 32, always go from
time 02 to 01. I think that will make it easier.
I think the pad was written to make it easier so
you didn't have to change many things between
exposures, but I would much rather - during that
time-critical period. Okay, coming up on 58.
001 00 57 27 SPT Okay, we've got to stop this whole thing by 01:07.
Okay. l'm going to start tracking now, and I'ii
give you a mark when it goes.
001 00 58 00 SPT MARK.
001 00 58 l0 SPT MARK. Okay, that cut off, and I heard the - the -
and I just clicked off an extra visible. Okay, I
had an extra visible on the first one there. Okay,
let me go to 27 now. Time, 16. I think I better
move that microswitch. Goldangit. Okay, going to
16; 27 on the filter. We're now in the initial
position: microswitches, exposures, filter, track.
I'll give you another mark.
001 00 58 56 SPT MARK. Okay. They [sic] both to go. Ah, darn it!
That second one was also on the time of - of 8
here. Ah, darn itl Okay. See if we can get the
rest of them right. Setting 2, 2 minutes - or
2 seconds on the - for frame number B. Filter is
27, and the time is set at 02, I think, and I want
this before 01. Another minute.
2ob,3
001 01 00 22 SPT Okay, your second filter - your second frame was
2 minutes - or 8 seconds long, rather than 16.
If I get time, I'll pick it up again. Okay. Ini-
tial position: microswitches, exposure, filter is
27. Okay, come on. Start tracking now. Boy,
there's not - ah, there's a little something in
the cloud I can track.
001 01 01 18 SPT Okay. Okay. I got the one. Try it again.

from Hawaii at 01:13.
SPT Okay, we got a double one there. Think I did it

correctly. Coming up on 02 again; again inverting
your frames 5 and 6 down here at 27; 2 seconds and
27. I'll get there because it's easy to track.
001 01 02 41 SPT Okay, I had to delay that. Let me try this again.
- Okay. I'll get this one.
001 01 03 01 SPT MARK. Filter. Timer. Okay. Got it. Think I'll
try this again. In thinking back on that first
one, I may have moved that filter too early.
_- Something in the data. I adjustedthe second one.
Just as that second click came, I started to move
it. That was on the previous - I guess that was
on frame 4. Okay. Going again. Now let's be
sure we're coming up on frames 7 and 8; 7 and 8.
Okay, we're setting filter 27; timer is set to 02.
Okay, microswitches, initial position. And we're
engaged. Okay. And find a good target. Okay,
stand by -

That 's changed.
001 01 04 20 Sl°T MARK. Okay. And that's 6 - 5, 6. Okay, you want

to get going on 9 by 04:30; I just went by it.
Okay, 04:30; right now 32. And what you want -
you want 4 set in and - and both of the filters
are to 4. Okay, and reposition microswitches, and
I'm all set. Okay. Start track. Second to last
exposure. Boy, that's Just a mottle of clouds,
isn't it? Okay ....
001 01 05 13 SPT MARK. SHUTTER CLOSED. Okay. The last one. Boy,
I've done my ... on it. Okay, last one coming up
2044
on 16 seconds and filter 27. Boy. Okay, that

last one was done with 27, only it was 40 seconds
count. See if - I can't read that thing in the
light. All right, l'm going to pick up frame 9
again. Here we go. That's _ seconds, filter 32.
Okay, it's set. Okay, here we go again. Stand
by-
001 01 06 53 SPT MARK. Okay, and both of them went.
001 01 07 07 SPT Oh, darn it. l've got another clicking. Okay, 27.
The filter, 16. The setting - Okay, 16 is set in.
Two exposures; microswitches. Ah, we're out over
water. Goldang it! I'ii tell you, this thing
isn't the real - There's no way you can learn
something like this except by doing it. And here
again I'ii say we've had no simulators - no frap-
ping simulators. Well, it's Just a question of
learning on the gear. If that's the way they
want the Job done, then that's the way it is. l've
done the best I could with it. Okay, you didn't
get any frame i0. I believe I got the others with
a couple of extra exposures in there.
0010108 15 SPT SPTout.
001 01 l0 15 SPT SPT. S063. The frame count on the visible camera
is 10; the frame count on the UV camera is 28.
And, again, I'd like to stress that with no simulator
and no trainer, that you're going to have to accept
the first train - the first session or two on this
as a - as a training session. Unfortunately, it's
with your flight gear and your flight film. And
I've not had anywhere near this difficulty with
other experiments which are much more complicated,
but which I've been trained for.
001 01 ll 01 SPT The ATM, for example, is in order of magnitude

more complex than this. But I've trained for it.
This piece of gear we've had no simulators. We've
only talked through it. You can't learn something
that way. So I'd suggest you use them. Something
of this magni - something of this type which calls
for manual dexterity and remembering time-critical
action, you've got to train for it.

TIME SKIP
001 01 36 18 CDR This is the CDR at 01:36 Zulu debriefing the 00:h0
Zulu ATM pass. This was another look at the limb,
the north pole, and also prominence number 61. I
went up to the north pole at a ROLL of about zero
and found a nice fuzzy little spicule sticking up
out the - the rest of the fuzz there. And so I
rolled over to it, and we ended up with a ROLL of
plus 0133, an UP/DOWN of plus 977, and a RIGHT/LEFT
of plus 005. And it was right on that little
spicule. And did the building block 28 for JOP 1
Delta, step h. Had no - no problems there;
everything went right according to schedule. Then
I went to - looking for prominence nt_nber 61 in
order to do a JOP 37 on it - or a JOP hA, I mean,
building block 37.
001 01 37 26 CDR I rotated around% figured at about a ROLL of

h800 degrees - h800 arc minutes was where I'd
find it. And sure enough, there it was at
h800 arc minutes. It looks like the stylized
F- picture of a flame that you see or the stylized
picture of a streamer, a coronal streamer. That
is, it had a very fat, wide base and it came up
at - to a point and - with sort of a curved
flamelike pattern. It actually looked like it
had three legs - three feeders coming up from
three different areas on the - right near the
limb of the Sun. And it all came to a point. I
laid the 82B slit along the brightest area and
checked to make sure that it was not - the edge
of the slit was not touching the - the limb of
the Earth - or the limb of the Sun. Good heavens.
And fired it off and did the sequences as required
there; Just let the whole thing run after - on the
second 82B exposure, and on the 55 let it run to
h00 K. Did not even bother to look at the WHIT_
LIGHT CORONAGRAPH; really it wasn't in any position
where I could. And the XUV MON was very uninter-

CC Okay. On step 3 it currently says, "Place dis-

penser into waste processor chamber 5 or 6 to
remove remaining water from dispenser. Use vac-
uum only." We would like you to replace that
step with one which reads, "Dry wipe the dispenser
and shake with plunger depressed to expel water."
In other words, we're getting it out of the waste
processor. Over. Rather, we're putting it in.
(Music: William Tell Overture)
01 16 57 54 CDR Okay, Bruce. I got that. We got two problems,

however. N,,mber one, we do not have a M133 elec-

001 18 31 02 CDR This is the CDR at 18:30 Zulu, reporting Earth

observations. Scheduled si - site with HH59, the
Galapngos Islands. I took three Nikon 300's with
an F of f/8 and 1/250, and those pictures are on
Charlie X-ray 38. They're frames nmnber 42, 41,
and 40. And we had essentially broken - scattered-
to-broken clouds over the islands. All the craters
were covered with clouds. However, there was a -
a pretty good percentage of the flanks of the islands
available for view. I looked at the flanks, and
the ground is, for the most part, tan, with dark
lava flow flowing down to the water, somewhat like
large rivers. It looks very much like the - the
fl_n_s of Kilauea on the islands of - of Hawaii.
I took two photos of Isla Isabela, the J-shaped
island, and I took one picture of Fernandina. And
I've got the northwestern flanks of Fernand/na.
And no - and no indication, that I could see from
here, of any activity going on. No indications
20 7O
of smoke that were apparent. If there was any, it

was probably stained and mixed with the clouds.
Again, all I saw was Just the flanks, and I checked
around the flanks at the water level to see if there
was any indication of hot lava going to the water
or anything like that and could see nothing.
001 18 32 52 CDR The next picture I took was a Hasselblad 100, It

was frame n1_ber ll6, and I took it of water about -
about 50 - oh - yes, 50 miles, I guess, is a good
figure - 50 miles southeast of the Galapagos. It
was a particularly good sunglint picture, and it
showed some rather strange wave patterns that looked
like they might have something to do with the
Hamboldt Current in that area.
001 18 33 30 CDR I wasn't sure, but it was such a good sunglint

pattern that I grabbed it with the Hasselblad. I
got a little piece of - probably quite a chunk of
spacecraft structure in with it.

001 19 52 09 SPT The SPT at 17 - correction - make that 19:52; for

the third and final try on the TV-TY from the ATM.
What I am going to do first is to insert a correc-
tion for a number which I misquoted yesterday, and
then I will pick up where I left off. That is, I
left off at the XUV spectroheliograph. I will now
pick up at the XUV spectrograph. I talked about
2071
the white light coronagraph and the XUV spectro-

heliograph, and somewhere in t_ing about the
third instrument, the XUV spectrograph, yesterday,
we ran out of tape. And so l'm going to review
that third instrument and from there on. This
morning, I went through this whole show again.
Only we had a switch in the command module out of
configuration; so you've got no voice. Yesterday,
you got voice without the face. Hopefully, today,
you will get both.
001 19 54 03 SPT Okay, we will try this again. What I want to do

first is to make a correction to a nmnber which I
had in yesterday when I was discussing the perihe-
lion and then pick up where I believe I was cut off
yesterday in the presentation. The comet has Just
gone through a rather dynamic phase of its life-
time - Stand by.
O01 19 56 06 SPT All right. For the fourth time, I will start this.
Last time, we Just had our friendly woodpecker
start away as I started. Okay, once again with
the VTR. One of these times. The comet has Just
gone through one of the most dynam_ c phases of its
- lifetime. It's Just passed in its closest point
to the Sun - we call the perihelion - on December 28
and at that time received the maximum amount of
heating from the Sun, it would ever see. And also,
the tail was forced to swing from one orientation
around to another as the particles from the wind -
particles from the Sun - which we call the solar
wind - pushed it around so it was always trying
to face outward from the Sun. Now it was moving
along at a pretty good clip at this time. It was
moving at about a quarter of 1 million miles an
hour. At that rate, it would be able to get to
the Moon from the Earth in about 1 hour rather than
the customary 3 days it's taken us in the lunar
program. And it was relatively close to the Sun.
It was about a little over 13 million miles. Now
we have seen a fairly pronounced change during this
period of time, and I think we have recorded a fair
amount of it in words, in sketches, and certainly
with the ATM data. Okay, we'll break here now and
go on in and pick up the remainder of the discus-
sion on the ATM instruments.
201'2
001 19 58 19 SPT Perhaps one of the most useful experiments -

instruments we have on board to learn about comet
Kohoutek is the XUV slit spectrograph, which is
a rather long title.
001 19 58 38 SPT What it does is to look at a very small segment of

the comet and determine what is various colors of
light emitted in the extreme ultraviolet range.
Of course, again, these are colors which you and
I cannot see but which the instrument can. Now
what is so particularly good about this instrument
is that it's able to resolve the colors to a very
fine detail. We call it spectral resolution. It
is able to pick out one wavelength from another
very accurately, and this _llows us to look at the
signatures of light put out by the atom, each atom
putting out its own particular signature at a given
wavelength.
001 19 59 B6 SPT And we can do that now quite accurately and thereby
get a better understanding of what the comet's
composition is. The XUV slit instrument is con-
trolled from this portion of the panel. And another
word, perhaps it's unlike the previous instruments
we've talked about. It doesn't take a picture of --
the Sun. It only looks at a very narrow slit -
something perhaps resembling the geometry of that
tinsel. It's about 1 arc minute long, which is
1/60 of a degree, in terms of what it sees and very
much narrower than that dimension across. That's
about 1/30 of its length. So it sees a very small
element of space. Best and only useful to us on
the Sun, and we hope it will, in resolving features
on the comet. We have another instrument on board
which does something of a similar nature. We call
it the scanning polychrometer spectroheliometer.
Now all those big words put together - They go
together with this instrument, and let me try to
explain it.
001 20 01 16 SPT It's a bit like the TV that we're using right now.
The TV takes a look at a picture - one little,
small element - and traces across, then moves down
another row and traces across, and in that wise -
in that way builds up a picture. Now this instru-
ment does the same thing, and it's able to do it at
the extreme ultraviolet wavelengths and the - in
ultraviolet ; mostly in the ultraviolet. But it 's
2073
also able to do something else. It's also able

to choose the frequency by the wavelength at
which it will make those observations. It is also
able to sit still with a very small element of
space and scan across all of the wavelengths that
it has at its disposal. So in that way we can
perform two functions. It has six different de-
tectors 811 working at the same time, so that you
can _uil_ up either six pictures at the same time
or learn a little bit more about the spectrum with
several detectors.
001 20 02 20 SPT Like a TV camera, it does not record its information

on film but records it instantly on electronic data,
which can be sent down to the ground rapidly. And
in that way, we can analyze in 1 day and change
observing procedures the following day. That's
the most useful to us in observing the Sun, and
we've hoped it would be in observing the comet.
So far what it's told us is that the strongest
emission we see from the comet is from a hydrogen
line; we call it hydrogen Lyman alpha, a very
primary emission from hydrogen. We expected to
see that. We have not seen a great, you know,
many other lines of strong emission. However, we -
we do realize that this instrument was built for
observing the Sun, which is many, many times
stronger in intensity than the comet.
001 20 03 23 SPT Two other instruments that we have on board, which

we use to study the Sun and learn quite a bit
about and which we've turned now onto comet
Kohoutek, are the X-ray instruments - the X-ray
telegraph - oh, excuse me - the X-ray telescope,
on the left portion of the panel, and the X-ray
spectroheliograph, another big word, meaning that
this also gets a little bit of information about
the wavelengths and X-rays as well as Just a
picture of the Sun in X-rays. And in this case
trying for it to learn something about the comet
in X-rays. Now we don't expect it - much emission,
if at all, in the way of X-rays of the comet.
It's far too cold for that. But there is an out-
side chance that if we have a major flare from
the Sun, that the X-ray from this flare will
cause the comet to fluoresce. By that, we mean
that the high-energy emission from the Sun will
stimulate the gas around the comet and in that
2O74
way cause it to emit radiation of a little bit

lower intensity and - which is also in the X-rays,
and tell us something about its composition.
001 20 04 53 SPT Now a - another thing we can learn from X-rays is

absorption - absorption of X-rays from stars behind
the comet. Hopefully, there have been some X-ray
sources behind the comet. And during very long
time exposures, we will be able to observe what
the stars look like as the comet's tail is in
front of it and then at later times observe what
the stars are like when the comet is not in front
of it and in that way learn a little bit about
the composition of the material in between - that
is, the composition of material in the tail, which
has absorbed the X-rays.
001 20 05 47 SPT All in all, the ATMhas proved to be a very versatile

set of observing instruments. We've found that
Just because they were built with - with extreme
capabilities, when we weren't able to resolve
very faint light in the white light coronagraph,
weren't able to reslove extremely fine detail in
terms of color wavelengths, the XUV slit spectro-
graph and the XUV spectrograph giving us a very
good picture of the comet in ultraviolet and
perhaps the X-ray instruments and the scan
spectrometer, as we call it for short. All of
these instruments combined together, although
originally intended for studying the Sun, has
given us, we feel, an excellent tool for learning
about the comet.
O01 20 06 50 SPT Now we'll go on down into the lower portion of the
space station and look at what we have in the
way of observing instruments out of the scientific
airlock.
001 20 20 42 PLT This is the PLT. The time is 20:20, and reporting

001 21 03 31 PLT Okay, SPT, information ... the VTR.

SPT Thank you.
PLT ... the same ... for the VTR.
SPT Thank you.
001 21 03 54 SPT Okay, we're now down here in the forward area of
the orbital workshop, and I'd like to show you
some of the equipment and describe a little bit
about how it works. Now the main part of it all
is the articulated mirror system. What we essen-
tially have right here on my t right-hand side is a
hole in the wall, if you will, and a way of putting
instruments up against that hole in the wall,
which we have a door for on the outside. We put
instruments up against that hole, and we're able
to take observations of the outside. The door -
Stand by. Why don't you JUst check that. I got
asked a question, and I got off my train of thought.
CDR ... is the difference between the mechanical and

the optical.
001 21 05 05 SPT Okay, I'll pick this up and try it again. We're
down here in the forward area of the orbitalwork-
shop, and I'd like to show you a little bit of the
equipment that we're planning on using and have
used for observing the comet out of the scientific
airlock. Now airlock is - for us it's Just a term
for a hole which is cut in the wall and which we
can put instruments up against. And use that hole
to allow instruments access to outside, for obser-
vation. The heart of the - most all of the obser-
vations I'll discuss right now is the - the
articulated mirror system. Without it we'd be at
a loss to really make a large number of the obser-
vations we have been able to do. Essentially what
it is, is a way in which we can take observations
of _Imost any point over a h_m_sphere of the sky -
or this whole area which we can look out here -
without moving the spacecraft around. We do that
with a mirror system which is inside, projected out.
And then this aimed mirror is able to reflect light
back in. Now, for example, if we wanted to reflect
light back in from here, we put the mirror at this
angle. We're able to rotate it all around, like
so, and we're able to rotate it in this direction,
also. In this way, we're able to make observations
2076
here and still have the spacecraft in what we call

a solar inertial or still pointing at the Sun, which
we need for electrical power and for the solar
observations.
001 21 06 58 SPT The first instrument, which I think is an excellent

instrument for the types of observations we've
been making, is the far-ultraviolet electronographic
camera, and that's this instrument here. The real
attribute of this is that it can take pictures of
what emissions are in the ultraviolet at extremely
faint intensities. It's about 20 times more intense
or 20 times more sensitive than the normal camera.
It uses a high-energy source - high - high voltage;
at least 20,000 volts. And when looking out of the
scientific airlock, it's got about 9 degrees of
field of view that it can see. And we've taken it
out on the last EVA - m_tter of fact, our last
two - and made some good observations with it,
EVA, where it can see a much larger part of the
sky. We have a way of aligning what we want to
look at, if you will, pretty much like a gunsight
or - Only this one also allows us to see what the
field of view af the camera is. Very useful,
especially during the EVA. The large hook you see
on the side, which I'm using to restrain it, is
what we've used during the EVA. It'll also hold
it onto a handrail. Our second piece of instru-
mentation and the instrument for which the mirror
system here was originally designed is the ultra-
violet spectrometer - or spectrograph. They use
it for - I guesB the proper name of it is really
UV stellar astronomy. And this is the optical
part of it, which fits on the back here, and this
is able to make observations in the ultraviolet
of the comet. Now here again, we're looking for
occultation or absorption by the ultraviolet light
of the mamy ultraviolet stars which this has al-
ready measured. And in that way, we hope to learn
something more about its composition.
001 21 09 52 SPT Another ultraviolet camera which we have and one

which is provided through the French Government
and as an experiment from one of the French labor-
atories is this ultraviolet camera here, which is
much larger; it's a spectrograph. It's able to
take pictures in three different band passes in
the ultraviolet and in this way study the comet
2077
in the same way we've mentioned several times

before. Another instrument we've taken outside
with us is the coronagraph. A contamination
coronagraph is what it was originally designed for.
By that, we mean a instrument which is able to look
squarely at the Sun, blot out the Sun's image, and
then look at the region around it or the corQna
or the atmosphere of the Sun. This instrument,
which we have hooked onto the back here, from here
to here, has what we call a much wider field of
view than the one on the ATM. And we are also
able to put many filters in this instrument so
that we could look at very specific bandpasses of
light. And again, as we've mentioned mR_y times,
that's an important aspect. That's the name of
the game. Let us understand what the light is
coming from, the comet, and thereby understand
its composition. And where we put filters in is
through here. We have a host of these filters.
One is clear, which we can use for mAk_ug obser-
vations with no filter and still exclude the light
from the portion which holds it. And we have
three other series of filters like this, all with
l- different bandpasses, able to allow light of
different colors to pass through. And one last
one, which is also used out of the scientific
airlock with the mirror system, is using horizon
photography, which is normally used to study the
horizon, the airglow around the Earth. And that's
been most useful also in conjunction with the
mirror system and understanding a little bit about
the comet in ultraviolet, as well as in the optical
or in the visible range. All told. we have a -
quite a full complement of observing capabilities
on board Skylab. And when we get back, I'm sure
there's going to be lots of people, including our-
selves, interested in a look at the data and learn-
ing an awful lot more about comet Kohoutek.
001 21 12 4B SPT Th_k you.
001 21 15 15 SPT This is the SPT again on the TV-77. And what I'll
do now is to Just put on the VTR some closeups of
the instruments which I've discussed and which
you've seen from the - a distance.

check both lights and switch in TV?

PLT Roger.
PLT ... going to TV ... when I turn the VTR .... lights.
SPT Okay. Here, you're able to see a closeup of the

far-UV electronographic camera. The sights, which
we've used for aiming and - One thing I ought to -
ought to mention about this is, the first this
was used in a space program was on Apollo 16. And
it was taken to the Moon and directed back to Earth.
Learned a little bit more about the oxygen and
hydrogen which is in the upper atmosphere of the
Earth.
SPT Here is a closeup of the UV stellar astronomy

experiment. And like all of the - most of these
experiments, I'm sure they appear to be Just boxes
to you. All of the action, of course, is on the
inside. To us, they appear like boxes, too, but
when we make the observations, there are certain
things we have to do in order to let you use the
best quality data possible.
001 21 17 34 SPT Some require a fair amount of Judgment, some tech-

nical skill, but all involve knowing fairly inti-
mately what's inside of these boxes.

that started at 20:53. JOP h Alfa, step _, was

GRATING there trying to get it in zero. I was in
the process of maneuvering off the Sun_ lost my

I didn't get the MIRROR, AUTO RASTER at GRATING
ZERO - excuse me, in MIRROR, 3 RASTER. And of
course, I'd already gotten one. But anyway, I
didn't get it. I had a good alignment on the SLIT

several mini-MARs. There were numerous interrup-
tions during the pass so if it went a little bit
beyond the 13 line - But I think, genera11_v speak-
ing, that you probably got good information there
and the prominence itself was changing quite mark-"

_ast part will be on 233, window observations.
I got the VfR running now.
001 23 43 09 SPT The last part of the observations which I'd like
to show you how we do are fairly straightforward
and kind of fun. We use a mounted camera. We've
been able to use it for the past month or so.
And we use it out of one of the windows here in
the multiple docking adapter or in the command
module. We've been able to monitor - watch the
change in the brightness and in the form of the
comet as it's moved in towards the Sun. And
we've been able to photograph it with some fairly
long time exposures with very sensitive film. I
think this will give us a very good history of
what the comet has looked like since we arrived
2082
here a little over a month ago. Now another way

to observe it - and we don't bring amy data back
on this other than what we've put in voice and
able to draw, sketch - is the use of binoculars.
And this is a - Just a very enjoyable way to do
it. l'm sure that some of you, once it becomes
visible to you at night, will be looking at it in
the same way, Just after sunset - the same way we

really a - an impressive and enjoyable sight, very
awe inspiring, I think what it does is Just make

002 00 07 32 CDR You're on channel B, Ed.
SPT I couldn't be, Jer. I'm hooked up to channel A

and I haven't said anything yet.
CDR ... Just come on. I guess we must have one down
here on channel A somewhere then. It come in on
this one too.
SPT Oh. I'm hooked up here to - on ICOM/PTT on

channel A.
CDR Okay, I see one down here that's on A.
SPT Okay.
002 00 08 16 SPT SPT at 00:08, ATM operation. This is J0P 18D,

the ones that began with the maneuver at 22:06.
Okay, I thought when we first pulled in there and
I was supposed to get comet-rise that I had lost
this one for sure. Couldn't see it anywhere. I
think it was Just on the fringes of visibility.
I made a move - maneuver outward in a radial di-
rection and it showed up and went right off the
scope. I maneuveredit back aroundhalfway,and
I had it in sight and could work with it from
there on. But I think we ought to work with some-
thing greater than ll0 now. I suggest try to get
it to 130. It's really getting faint.
SPT First building block 30 went off pretty well; no

problems. I did 52 on an error on my part. Give
them a - their three singles after their
6-1/2 minutes of CONTINUOUS. I don't think it'll
affect the data unless I did something I don't
understand there, but it was the inverted order.
52 - or 55 received their MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs
at 676 continuously. And 82B received the expo-
sures requested. (Tone)
SPT And the next one, we move - maneuvered the nucleus

and - into 00. And I think now from the maneu-
vering we've done in the past couple of days, I
think it's pretty close. I would - -
002 00 ll l0 CC Skylab, AOS through Honeysuckle for 8 minutes.

2O84
SPT - - feel confident we were within 2 at least.

The overlay has remained here and - the same over-
lay we have worked with. I guess one thing that
does also concern me a little bit about the over-
lay is the initial centering of it - or I should
say the position of the crosshairs. I'm not sure
where the crosshairs drift, but from time to time
I check it, and I find myself having to make small
adjustments in it. I would say the adjustments
are on the order of a line or two of the TV. On
one occasion, it was significantly larger than
that, maybe 2 or 3 octal units.
CC ...
002 00 1B 07 SPT Okay, the second building block B0, when we

pointed at the nucleus, 56 received a SINGLE
FRAME 2, about 16 minutes and 15 seconds. 82B
received a WAVET._GTH, SHORT, gave it another
1B-minute one. And in between those two expo-
sures where I initiated a longer one, the event
timer had counted doe to zero when I hit the
STOP on that and looked up and saw the OPERATE
light out on the 82B SLIT, which should not hap-
pen once you count through zero. Then I hit the -
START switch on 82B aad _Imost simultaneously
after I'd hit the START, shortly after that. I
do not know if I had on OPERATE right to begin
with. And I was not counting frame s, so you may
have a very short exposure in there; I hope - I
hope it did not start and we didn't waste one of
those good filma.
002 00 14 22 SPT And 55 received continuous MIRROR, AUTO RASTER 66,

76.
SPT Okay, motion compensation was performed all dur-

ing that third building block C, which is in pro-
gress now. Been going along pretty well; I was
able to point to it. I fly confidence maneuvers
which evolved going out from the opposite direction
I came. After being - pointing the nucleus at the
center and using essentially the same type com-
mand, the center was pretty close - within 2 or
so. 55 unfortunately, I did not get that started
at the beginning of the orbit. Oversight on my
part and I'm sorry for that. 82B has received a
WAVEL_GTH, LONG, 25 seconds, one 30, and 8;
2085
presently in the middle of another long one, which

started at 10:30, l0 minutes and 30 seconds. So
that will be a 27-minute 30-second exposure.
002 O0 16 Oh SPT SPT out.
SPT Oh, one other thing I - I sure will be glad when

we can get back to looking at the Sun again.
Comets are fun, but there really isn't too much
happening on the displays and too much Jua_ent
involved after the - other than the initial point-
ing. But I hope we got some good data.

started at 20:04 time. The temperature was 68 de-

with the temperature. We were very careful
to avoid ... regions although I still tb/nk some
of the small dispersions are due to CMGs them-
selves moving. Okay, sequence i: 2.70061. I

it returned at 26. From the pointing which I
made, I have a fair degree of confidence we were

in it on the order of 1 or 2.

002 02 40 22 CDR This is the CDR at 02:41 Zulu. This daylight

saving time has got me all messed up. Okay, Sky-
lab is on daylight saving time and it's 02:41 and
I have a debriefing on the 01:30 Zulu ATM pass.
We did a JOP 6, step l, building block 1. No
great problems with that. It went as - as planned.
Whilst looking through all of my various ways I
have of looking at the Sun, I stumbled upon a new
active region that has apparently emerged since
yesterday. It's apparently coming on with a real
vengeance. It's in the southern hemisphere. The
location I reported on air-to-ground was about 220
at 0.2. I took a look at it with the XUV SLIT.
And we found two sunspots, a leading sunspot of,
oh, about l0 arc seconds in diameter and a smaller
following spot probably around 5. They are prob-
ably separated by something like 30 arc seconds.
002 02 41 47 CDR The - the white - the very bright plage that sur-
rounded these two sunspots was much like a - a -
a ring or an annulus and then between the two sun-
spots were three very prominent arch filaments,
very easily seen.
002 02 42 05 CDR The entire bright area, the plage area, was about,
oh, 45 or 50 arc seconds in diameter. And the
leading spot is this, I'm referring to that spot
on the west side and the following spot was the
2087
sm_11er one. The brightest or the hottest point

in the plage was Just south of the for - the
following spot. And the count up there on
oxygen VI got to about 12,000 to 14,000 on one
occasion, and averaged about i0,000. I was at a
ROLL of minus 5400 at the time. So what I did is
I located this hottest spot and fired off a PATROL,
SHORT and did a mini-MARwith the slit centered to
the - MAR at slit center. After the mini-MAR at
line 13, I started it over and did a full MAR and
this was at a GRATING of 0000. And then when I
was done, ground suggested that I do a GRATING,
AUTO SCAN, which I did. And I also did an - a
S082 Alfa at 20 seconds, SHORT. And then when I
finished all that up I had about 3more minutes
left so I decided, well, I'll Just kind of let
it all hang out and do a MIRROR, LINE SCAN across
this hot spot area. So I fired up and did a
MIRROR, LINE SCAN.
002 02 43 42 CDR So I guess you got fairly good S - S055 coverage

on this little rascal. I did not see any - any
signs of it yesterday. I had the last duty yester-
day, as I remember. And the XUV MONITOR shows this
_ bright spot quite clearly in XUV. In fact, it
shows on XUVwithout I_T_GRATION. You can barely
see it, but it's there on the VIDEO. So it is
fairly hot. And - let's see - WHITE LIGHT CORONA-
GRAPH, I took pictures of both the XUV and the
WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH. The WHITE LIGHT CDRONA-
GRAPH compared with yesterday's picture, doesn't
show very significant change. The corona out on
the west limb shows a few more rays today than it
did yesterday. That is, there's a general bright
haze - bright corona area extending from about
2 o"clock down to about 5 o'clock. But there are
also some nice bright rays extending on out from
this bright, fuzzy area. And there's one about
2 o'clock, one at 3 o'clock, one at 4 o'clock, and
one at about 4:30. And they're from the bright
rays.
002 02 45 08 CDR On the other side of the Sun, on the east limb,
there was a - no significant change that I could
see in the big, wide streamer that's over there.
This streamer being - oh, at the base, covering
one-third of that side of the Sun, maybe even half
of it, and going out into a point. And Just, you
2088
know, a lot of - a lot of I _ht, nothing very

bright in it, nothing very _J_ery prominent at all.
002 02 45 47 CDR I gave you a little bit of TV downlink. I blun-

dered. And you might r_m_ud the air-to-ground -
the CAP CO_@_ when we're air-to-ground, and we owe
you something like that, for us to get on the stick,
because I wasn't doing you any good during that
downlink - that pass when we had dowalink. And
might be a good idea to - when you have downlink
scheduled, to make sure that it's coming into the
site. And if it isn't, have the CAP COMM give
the ATM operator a little tweak. And make sure
you get your - your data. So I think really all
you got was about a minute and a half or 2 minutes;
most of it was H-alpha l, and I gave you a little
bit of XUV mon Just as we were disappearing over
the hill.
002 02 57 00 PLT This the PLT with a message for the film people.
Time is 02:58. I was Just doing my film load -
film-thread pad, and I was threading supply Charlie
India 75 and takeup MT08 on to transporter num-
ber 02. Now I put the Charlie India 75 on the
supply side; I still have _08 on the takeup side.
Followed the instructions per number: l, 2, B,
4, 5. And the transporter apparently shoved the
film back in the supply reel and I've lost it.
Now this happened the other day, and I said I wasn't
sure whether I had accidently moved it with my fin-
ger or I'd put the - the carriage was on the wrong
side, and I discounted the possibility that the
transporter could be the culprit.
002 02 58 08 PLT So I feel that I am personally exonerated in losing

that other reel and also this one, because this
doggone thing did it again. I had followed the -
I've been following these instructions right by the
number every time, even though I've done this 200
orS00 times, Just so I won't make some dumb
mechanical error. And darn it, this transporter -
like you to go back and check. This is trans-
porter 02. If we've got another one, let's - if
this is the one that did it the other day, and I'm
not sure that it is, then let's see if - about re-
2o89
placing transporter 02. This is the second t_me

this has happened to me in 2 weeks, where the - I
would - l'd profile the film; put it in. l'd slew
it to the yellow mark, Just like I do it every
other time, and put it in there; press the button.
I don't get a - the end of film light doesn't go
out; take the cassette off. And this is - this
is .the second time l've had the supply leader
shoved back into the supply reel.
002 02 59 02 PLT l'm open to any advice or suggestion, but I don't

see anything that l've done _rroug here. Had the
teeth lined up, the red marks, everything else done
Just by the numbers. As I said, l've act1,Ally gone
backwards and more or less taken an infanul -
infantile approach toward loading these things.
And they Just stab you in the back every time you
turn around. Now this is transporter number 02.
If you'll check back and see if that is the one
that was involved in the leader loss - I guess it
was about a week ago. Again, any - if we've got
some extra transporters - I thought I saw some up
there, and I'ii go take a look now. But if we've
F got some, let's get rid of these things that are
continuing to chew up film and do this sort of
thing, because it's really eating us alive. This
is exactly why I asked to have the film-thread pads
sent up in the evenings. Because right now, if
it - if I were in a morning prep, PSA, it'd Just
completely blow my whole day, Just as - It'd put
me behind the eight ball to start with. And it's
exactly what 's been happening.
002 03 O0 02 PLT Fortunately, we have not had too many film-threading

exercises in the morning. We haven't been using
All that much f_l_. But this is why I asked to
have that thing sent up in the evenings, because
it Just eats us alive. Every time we touch a DAC,
I figure we're careering [sic] with 30 to 45 minutes.
And I don't mean Just threading. I mean Just pick-
ing one up and taking it over and put it in the
position. The things are really nasty. I guess
they're Just all worn out. And this is why I'm
asking it - if transporter 02 is a - an old one,
and we have some more, let's break out the new ones
and start using them.

we were over the Atlas Mountains at times, so
they were oblique shots. Got individual star

crescent dunes. And I believe there were a couple
of others in there, although I could not make out

frame number 31, f/ll, 35 millimeter, 1/250. I
used 35 because that's what we happened to have
on there, and I didn't get time to change anything.
002 15 14 54 SPT The fire itself had the smoke billowing up to our
track - gray smoke - fairly dense. I would say
it covered - I'm trying to recall now - maybe up
to l0 miles or so across, and downstream maybe a
factor or 2 or 3 more than that. I can see the
fire from - the fire front was four iso - four
isolated fronts, but very close to one another -
maybe a half mile or a mile apart. And then
further to my left is - we're looking down it with
our - facing our - direction of motion - there are
some other fires further off to the left, which
combine with the major smoke plume but was not -
I could not see the front very well. It was
relatively Just the four individual fronts equally
spaced, a short distance apart. They ali looked
identical. It pretty much looked like fingers, if
you will, extending into the unburned material.

Ject is transition from clear weather - the flow
over Australia again. Over completely clear
weather, a clear weather system - a flow pattern
going into cloud streets. And this is - I'm de-
scribing it as I would see the wind motion that is
moving from - from a fair weather system into cloud
streets, which indicated that the flow was parallel
to this direction which I'm describing - to cloud
streets and finally ending up at fairly dense
cumulous activity. The cloud streets tended to
become a little thicker as they went on. They all
seemed to pick up at roughly the same point, and
then they became a little thicker as they went
on - a little wider, and finally into a few
cu[mulous] cells, and then finally into an over-
cast with many cu cells sticking up through it.

Earth observations while on a pass that was almost
paralleling the southern western coast of South
America; that is, the coast of Chile. We came in
over South America over the town of Mollendo, Peru.
But right there at the elbow, or the bend, in
South America, below the - the western hump in
the vicinity of the town of Arica, I noticed in
sunglint a - a great deal of - of good current
information and wave pattern information in
sunglint.
CDR So I took a series of photographs at f/ll and f/16

with the Hasselblad 100 on Charlie X-ray 52 maga-
zine. The frame numbers are 127 through 1B1. And,
2093
for the most part, I think this Just - the - the

value of these pictures is that they show the -
how the Humboldt Current tames up from the south
and - and gets turned right there, and how you
get some of the eddies and swirls and things llke
that, right there where the - the land makes a
sudden turn to the - from the - a northerly heading
to - a northwesterly heading. And I thought it
was pretty interesting photography, so I went
ahead and grabbed you five quick photos of it at
more than one f-stop so that we might make sure
that we have good coverage of it.
002 15 59 39 CDR But this is the first time that l've seen any
indications of anything like the Humboldt Current.
And so these photos are now available for that.
The - there was very little cloud cover, and I
started taking the pictures Just north of the
mushroom, you might caS] it, that sticks out
where the town of Anto - Antofagasta is located.
And the - the pictures start there and work on
up until you get to Arica. Okay, and the next
subject is the Plains of Nazca nearby. We had a
good day for that, but so far, the PLT and I have
not been able to really locate Just exactly where
the Plains of Nazca are. And l'm afraid that the
Visual Observations catalog is a little bit too
vague on that.
002 16 00 33 CDR I wonder if you might teleprinter us up some more

precise location for that Plain of Nazca. I would
suggest that you reference it to the - the map
book that we have. And maybe we can do a little
better Job of figuring out where they are and
possibly get some better photos. But right now
we've been Just kind of photoing - photographing
the general area hoping that we might pick up
some of the markings on the ground that have been
referred to. And we'd very much like to - to get
a good look at it, but unfortunately we Just don't
know exactly where to look. So if you would please
send us up a little more data on the Plains of

today what I've always been afraid of doing. And
that's dumping the urine bag before getting the
sample. I got distracted after taking the urine
bag out of the drawer. It was - well the urine
was leaking ... drawer. Dumped the sample and
noticed I didn't - dumped the bag and then noticed
I didn't have a sample. I'm afraid there's no

002 22 34 03 CDR Okay, it's 22:34. The first exposure will be of

the comet. The exposure POWER, ON switch 'comes
on at 22:35:10. That'll be my first mark. My

. to go to 0.5. All right, there's 0.5. The TILT
is 6.0. Okay, there's the TILT in. Now we're
going to start something here at 41:30. Good.
You gave me enough time here. And coming up on

2100
CDR Okay, and now as I count it we are Just almost

exactly 1 turn counterclockwise from zero, if I
remember things. This target is Tango - Tango 2h
that 's coming up now. The ROTATION, hopefully,
is 330.5 and a TILT of 06.0. At 22:41 and
30 seconds is when we're going to start things
off. 22:41 now. My first mg_k will be at
30 seconds for POWER and 31 seconds for RESET,
START. 15 seconds.

002 22 41 33 CDR MARK. START. And it's running. Now this goes

002 22 49 07 CDR Okay this is the CDR back up on the loop at Just
a little after 49. 22:49:56 will be my first

at h9:57 will be a POWEH switch OFF on the second

002 22 49 57 CDR MARK. START.
002 22 h9 58 CDR MARK. POW_L_, OFF. Okay, changing the ROTATION

now, 2.01 turns clockwise from where we are.
Okay. Unlocked. Going clockwise. There 's one
turn, and there's two turns. And I'm looking
for 7.6. Okay, there it is, 7.6. All right, my
TILT is going to be all zips. Unlock. TILT is
all zips. This is field Tango 17. And our first
action is at 22:53 even. And it's now 22:51. I
think you could safely take a minute off the time
required to set the ROTATION, but better not take
much more off. But leave us Just a little bit
for slop. You could get in trouble awful easy,
I think. Okay, we're coming up on 22:52 now.
Okay, at 22:53 even, the POWER switch comes ON.
1 second later, the START -RESET switch to START.
Okay, we're at _5; l0 seconds to go. Coming up
on 22:53 even. Stand by -
002 22 53 Ol CDR MARK. POWER.

2101
002 22 53 02 CDR MARK. START. And the film's advancing. All

right, the end of this one will be at 22:56:28.
CDR Passing 54 now.
CDR 22 :55.
CDR Okay, it's 22:56. 28 seconds to go. There'll be

one mark; it'll be POWER, OFF. 15, l0 seconds to
go. Stand by -
002 22 56 30 CDR MARK. POWER's OFF. Okay, our new ROTATION for
target Tango 5 is back counterclockwise again
6.48 turns. Okay, we're unlocking, l, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 0.48, roughly. And I'm looking for ]0[3.5.
All right. So that's it for ROTATION. Now for
TILT they want 15.5. Okay, that's in and locked.
And our mark is at 02. Now let's see, I did that
in - it's coming up on 58 now. So I did that in
a minute and a half. I think if you allowed
2 minutes between observations, that's probably
adequate under these circnm_tauces with this
problem we have with the ROTATION. I don't think
you should probably allow less than 2 minutes.
002 22 58 24 CDR In fact, if you have time to spare, it would be

better to leave a little extra gap between the
first star field, than in the la - ones later
on in the pass. And the reason for that is that
a guy is more likely to get a little messed up
early in the pass. So once he kind of gets the
swing or the rhythm of what he's doing, he'll be
in a little better shape to cope with - with
problems. So if you got to cut down the time too
much, do it at the end. Don't do it at the begin-
ning. All right. I've got 22:59 right now;
3 minutes to go. I'll save some tape recorder
tape and get off the line.
002 23 00 57 CDR Okay, this is the CDR again. We're coming up

on 23:01. The next mark will be at 23:02 even,
with a POWER switch; i second later with a START
switch.
CDR 30 seconds to go. Reverifying, the ROTATION is

XX3.5. The TILT is 15.5. 15 seconds. My mark

ADVANCE. Code number 1. Code number 2. Okay,
the film's advancing again.
002 23 04 h3 CDR Okay, this is the CDR and the time is 000 -
correction, let me check it here. It's 23:05 Zulu,
and the subject is handheld photography, Earth
observations. We - let's see, at 22:20 even,
we came up over the southern California coast.
And from the wardroom window, we had the - the
site l0 - HH108 to look at, which Was the San
Andreas Fault. We were able to see from Point
Mugu - Point Mugu down to about San Clemente. The
rest of the area was scattered to broken clouds.
And - I concentrated again this time on photography.
I - I think I could very definitely see the San
Andreas Fault, what length of it I could see. I
_as looking for the Junction between San Andreas
Fault and the San Jacinto Fault, but I couldn't
catch that. Hopefully, we'll catch it on the
next run.
002 23 06 03 CDR What I did though, was I took some Nikon 300-milli-
meter shots and also some Hasselblad 100's. The
Nikons are magazine number Charlie X-ray 38. It's
taken at 02:20. And the frame numbers are 29,
27, 28, 26. They were taken at 5.6, 300-millimeter
lens, at 1/1000. I considered going down to 4.5,
opening the stop up one more. The Sun angle was
28. That was awful close to 30. It looked
fairly bright down there, so I decided to throw
in a little Kentucky windage and leave the f-stop
at 5.6.
002 23 06 46 CDR So you've got those five pictures at that - at

that f-stop. The Hasselblad 100's that I took were
taken at an f-stop of f/ll, 1/250. It was only
one. It was frame number 134. It was taken from
about right over Point Mugu, pointing south, and
we picked up some of the clouds down - down below.
And that pretty much, I thought, gave the overview
while the - the Nikon 300 was used for the detail
work.
002 23 07 41 CDR Okay, the time now is coming up on 23:08. And

so now we're in a new subject area, and that
2103
is - the $201. I'ii be terminating this - this

exposure at 23:10 and 26 seconds. I'ii terminate
tape recording for now and come up at i0.
002 23 i0 01 CDR Okay, this is the CDR, back up at 23:10. And

we're getting ready to terminate the $201. My
first mark will be at 26 seconds with a RESET
switch to START, and the next one will be
27 seconds with a POWER, OFF. Stand by -
002 23 i0 27 CDR MARK.
002 23 i0 28 CDR MARK. That's it. Now we'll have to try to muddle
our way back to 000 and get our friendly mirror

Have a prominence - good helmet streamer rather,
at about 2 o'clock position. A sort of garden
variety. And there's a fairly interesting line
•.. several streamers on the east limb. And there's
a fairly short boundary on one of the streamers,
Just about 9 o'clock position, 270 degree point on
the Sun, which is really the only feature that
really catches your eye. And it could he - it's
a sort of - it's a very sharp d_ma_cation, as
opposed to the more or less common diffused
boundaries of the streamer.

003 01 34 15 CDR Stand by.
003 01 34 35 SPT What I'd like to show you here is a closeup picture
which is the first evidence we had that the ccmet
Kohoutek had a sunward spike. The picture was
taken - it's a Polaroid picture which was made off
the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH TV display. And al-
though it admittedly is very faint, the features
that we'lltalk about, or have tal_ed about are
evident, at least on the photograph, and I hope
that they are on your TV. The first feature, one
which was perhaps easy to - the most easily noticed
one, of course, is the bright dot right in the
center, and that's the coma.
003 01 35 21 SPT The second feature is Just the very start of a tall
which you see right here on the right-hand side.
Again, it's very faint but I believe discernible.
And lastly, the sunward spike which comes in frQm
2106
the lower left, maybe 30 degrees below the hori-

zontal. We were able to see this feature. This
is perhaps our best picture. We were able to see
this feature for three different times or so of
the - during the time period which we were observir
it on the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH TV display. Most
of the time, Just a very bright dot representing
the coma, is the evidence to us, but this gave us
a tip before we went EVA, that we might see a sun-
ward spike and kept us looking for it.

as we went into 400 K.

2107
003 02 42 O0 SPT SPT at 07:42, M487-2C. Number i: Which is pref-

erable, the floor/ceiling orientation of the OWS
or the open cylindrical arrangement of the MDA STS?
Okay, I like the MDA STS. I like that arrangement.
I think they got more room to work in. I think it
gives you more area and more flexibility in the
way in which you lay things out.
SPT How do the tasks to be performed influence your

preference of orientation? Well, most of your
tasks are concerned with Just you and the equip-
ment right in front of you. So almost all the
tasks do not make any difference. I think in the
overall layout though it does. Tasks - I 'm trying
to think of any tasks which would be performed
where that would make a difference. If you had
something which required a straight flat plane
like a floor, for example, that might be a con-
sideration. But right now, we don't have any
such place in the whole OWS. The floor down here
is so butchered up with things laying on it, that
for all practical purposes, it might Just as well
not be flat.
003 02 43 30 SPT How adequate are the restraints and mobility aids
throughout the 0A? Are more needed? Well, cer-
tainly there are negligible, next to none, in the
MDA STS. STS is not too bad. They've got few
handrails there. But the MDA is Just as we dis-
cussed before, negligible. We certainly need
handholds, we need footholds. I think the idea
of triangle - triangle grid is great. I think
it's a good way to go from here on out. I think
we ought %0 have it around wherever possible.
_he whole place o1_ght to be made out of it and
we ought to take more consideration of how many
holes we plug up. We Just have gone, on the OWS
floor here, Just indiscriminately around and put
various things which end up making, I would
estimate, at least 50 percent of the holes - the
triangles around here not accessible.
SPT Are more needed? Well, I certainly pointed out

where in the MDA. In the OWS, we could probably
use a - a few more handholds like the ones we
have running up to the - in the dome. I think
those ones running along the wall are really use-
ful up in that area whenever you're doing - happen
2108
to be doing anything up there. If we had more

equilmnent up there, it would be exceptionally
useful. The ones that are on the OWS wall are -
are used to a degree, depending upon how much
equipment there is right next to it.
003 02 45 04 SPT The ones by the airlocks are used - the ones -
Well, I guess most of them on the wall are used,
Just about all of them. The only points which
are relatively nonused - unused are the ones to
the left of the 509, between that and the 505
which is Just because we don't do many things
over there.
SPT The movable handholds, I have Just not found a

use for those things. They are probably good to
have around. Maybe some day we will come up with
a use for them, but so far in 48 days, I have not
found anything to do with them.
SPT Portable foot restraints are great for the EVA

prep and post. Are some unnecessary? No, I Just -
I wouldn't think so. I don't think there's a hand-
hold around here that I have not used at one time
or another. I find them exceptionally useful.
I think if you made your - your inner surface out
of triangle and kept it free wherever possible,
you could have yourself a good combination hand-
hold and - and foot restraints. You won't have
to worry about putting these blue - handholds all
over the place. They still would have to have
them somewhere sticking out from equipment which
would preclude you from getting close to the floor.
But other than that, I 'd go triangle all the way.
But Just for visual appearance, you want - may
want to put something in back of the triangle
like, oh, something with a reasonable color into
it, not this vanilla white or whatever it is.
It's very nonappealing; something with a light blue
or something like blue or light green or something,
maybe a couple inches or so behind the triangle so
you can still get a foot in there or get in any-
thing else you need to, but not have the whole place
look like a maze.
00B 02 _7 19 SPT How often have environmental factors, for example,

noise, temperature, airflow, ill1_m_nation, inter-
fered with your ability to perform a task? Noise
2109
I find up there in the MDA. Scmetimes at the

AS_4, I find that it gets to me when I'm trying
to concentrate or when I'm trying to use the
speaker. I find it gets to me. I find that often
in the - m_ sleep compartment, it's a little _arm
in there. Of course, that's - that's a problem
with this shield coming off. And the work I'm
doing in there, of course, is trying to get _ome
sleep. The noise of the p_p in the airlock used
to get to me also when we're working in the MDA.
003 02 52 37 SPT Okay, noise, temperature, and airflow. Airflow:

No problem. Temperature: Other than it gets a
little warm in the OWS at high beta angles, and
I think that does slow you down. Illumination:
No, I don't think so. I think we've got pretty
much of enough - enough light here. I've never
had a problem with not enough. I usually like
to work in relatively - relatively subdued, light,
so I might be a poor one to - to answer that one
as far as the max intensity desirable. But I've
not had @ problem with anything here.
003 02 53 12 SPT What unique off-duty activities have you devised

"-- to supplement those provided by the 0DAE kit?
Off-duty activities. You've got to be kidding.
There is no such thing up here. Our days off,
the only thing that's different is we get to
take a shower. I flat have not had a chance to
do anything. I guess the only thing I've done
that's not called out in the Flight Plan is make
sketches of the comet.
SPT What recommendations do you have for improving

recreational facilities and equipment for future
progrnm_? What you need is to give them time
to do it. I couldn't even give you a good rec-
r_mendation on that.
SPT I guess the one piece of recreational equipment

I have used up here is music. And that I do.
I do enjoy that and use it whenever I'm riding
the bike or in some of the medical experiments
when we're down there in that area. Sometimes
doesn't require - you can be distracted from,
Just requires your body and not your mind. I
guess the other piece of recreational equipment
2110
I've had is a couple of books that I've been

reading. And they're Just light novels; Just
something to help me wind down at night when I
climb into the sack; 15, 20 minutes of reading
something will divert my mind enough I can go
to sleep.
003 02 55 26 SPT In terms of your zero-g living and working experi-

ences during this mission, what specific habit-
ability improvements would you recommend for the
next Skylab crew? For future programs? Habita-
bility requirement: Well, other than one - obvious
one is time, which I won't dwell on any more here
Although it is, by order of magnitude, the biggest
factor of anything we've - we've run into up here
which - Okay, zero-g living and working require-
ments: Put us foot restraints everywhere. Tri-
angle - triangles are great. I guess also just
clothing. I'd like to have something to ride -
to ride the bike on. Good pair of shorts you can
use all the time, and a jock. Something like that
would be very useful for working out around here.
Even though we do much more exercise than we
usually do at home, we don't have any gear designed
forituphere.
003 02 57 00 SPT A specific improvement: I would also - I guess

it's not habitability, but it certainly is an
irritant, and that's the communications in this
place. They are atrocious. We can get the sound
from the antennas all the way around the world to
Houston and all the way up here, but boy, between
us and those speaker boxes, it sure is one whale
of a problem. We can't find a good lightweight
headset. We can't find a good mike. We got squeal
problems in the comm boxes even after we put in
the squeal attenuator. I think that- that adds
to the - the problem. Now that's Just a habit-
ability factor. It also interferes with work
greatly, too. I guess the word habitability, if
you' re using that in terms of what allows you to
live in a little easier manner and more efficient
manner, I guess I'd find a little easier way of
trash disposal, for example. I think the _umber
of cans that you - overcans that you end up stuff-
ing and putting in garbage ends up to be a - a
whale of a problem. I think you need an'easier
way of making an airlock, where you can Just put
2111
the - put it into an intermediate airlock, put

a small number of cans into an intermediate air-
lock and that flushes it right then. You don't
need the big - the big dump every night, although
you might want a larger airlock for larger things.
And also I think, in the head, we could certainly
go a long way towards ma_ing that whole operstion
a lot - a lot faster. And I think the major
problem we have right there is the experiments
associated with it. The experiment itself is
worthwhile, but I thdnk for future programa, we
Just can't afford that kind of inefficiency in
time. You'll be able to dump both of those -
both urine and feces overboard, maybe after they're
vacuum dried, and put it into a large chamber
like the axgen tank and not have all the inter-
mediate steps required.
00B 02 59 25 SPT Discuss both the beneficial and the detrim2ntal

effects of the zero g on the following types of
activities. Individual work activities while
restrained at a specific work location: No
problem. If anything, it's a lot easier. I find
myself with two or three things in the air at a
time: for example, cameras, so forth. No maybe
on the ground, I had a table, I'd set them down.
Here I Just us11_1ly let them float.
SPT Handling and transferring various size equipment

items: Small, medium, large. I think up here
you're a heck of a lot easier in transferring
everything, especially large items. If you'd
look at S18B, that takes two men and a small boy
to move around down there on the ground. And up
here, one man can easily do it, one-handed if he
wanted to, although we usllally don't. I can get
the Earth terrain camera in and out of that air-
lock and all the associated gear with it real
rapidly. It 's no problem at all.
O0B 03 O0 22 SPr And I think working in zero g makes it a heck of

a lot easier. You've got to learn - get a few
techniques under your belt. And - and they're
Just smal I ones: Learning how to hold something
steady and then releasing it while you can go
work on something else - For eYample, like the
Earth terrain camera; putting a new filter on,
2112
getting the camera out. Let the fil - let the

camera stay ri_ht where it is, float, get the
new filter out and put it on; put the window on
it - or put the window on the - the SAL, then
put the whole thing on. And you can do that real
quick.
SPT It's amazing. YOU would think the things up here

which you know on the ground weigh an awful lot
would feel more massive, but they don't. Even
like, you know, smother - another body, if you
push him around, 180 pounds, or I guess both ...
Jerry and Bill, 150 pounds - very light, very easy
to move.
003 03 Ol 18 SPT Personal maintenance activities: personal hygiene,

donnin_doffing, so forth. Well, certainly the
personal hygiene has been complicated by zero g;
there's no doubt about that. It's Just that one g
is - I think that's plainly obvious there.
Donning/doffing garments: No problem. I find
it Just as easy in one g as zero g. Probably
you do need a room that's something kind of like
my sleeping compartment, a little larger. But
you don't need it much larger. I find when I'm
putting on things, for example, I'm usually
bounding around inside there like a ping-pong
ball. But the room is smm]l enough, and you're -
you're bouncing slow enough that it doesn't seem
to be a problem.
003 03 02 37 SPT Waste management and cleanup chores. Waste m_uage-

ment and cleanup chores: No problem. In terms
of cleanup, I think the waste management itself
is big - the big thing, urine. Although I think
the urine - the urine system is okay. It's very
quick. I think it's Just about easy as zero g.
Taking care of the bags and cleaning up the -
the urine drawer and doing all of the associated
things with the experiment first thing in the
morning - the measuring, taking samples, dumping,
that's Just - and putting the new bag in - that -
that Just takes an awful lot of time. Just a
lot of _mall - stoatI items, packed, one stacked
up after the other, Just all take time. And I
think if you got rid of the experiment and you
were able to Just flush the stuff right over-
board, there'd be no problem.
2113
003 03 03 45 SPT Cleanup chores. I don't find those to be any

worse in zero g. Well, I guess I do in a way. I
think when you're working with a - with a wash-
cloth and it's wet, filthy -
CDR JoAnn said she was really scared for him; that's
why - -
SPT And you splash it around -
CDR - - to be - be sure and not let anybody pick him

up again ... mistake.
PLT I'll speak to Sue ...
SPT Then it tends to splash all over, and goes in one

direction. On the ground, of course, it all ends
up straight down and you can get - a little easier
cleaned up.
003 03 04 29 SPT Locomotion in and through the various 0A compart-

ments: No problems. I find I can push my way
around this place pretty quick now. And, relative
to zero g or one g, I find it'd be a heck of a
r lot harder to walk around. Certainly in the one-g
trainer it was always hard going up and down stairs.
Around here I could go whistling from the command
module down to here and make the trip in l0 seconds.
SPT How satisfactory is the frequency of change of

bedding? No problem there. We have more than we
need, way more. Clothing: Well, I think I'd like
to change my shorts and shirt once a day. Towel/
washcloth: Okay, we got more than enough of those.
I guess socks - socks, shorts, and shirts I'd like
to change more, at least once a day.

003 03 16 20 PLT Okay, this is the valometer log at these various

positions. At wardroam, 20:35, on day 2, zero.
On day 003 at 00:30 BMD, velocity, zero. Dome
was 1/3 foot per minute; that's out at -ri6ht out
in front of the dome hatch. The ATM/EREP foot
restraints, the flow was 5 feet per minute along -
parallel to the X-axis. The AS_4/EREP foot re-
straints, that is. And at 5 feet per minute,
thrust to i0. At the airlock, at 01:06. zero.
003 03 16 55 PLT The rate gyro package at 01:25, 25 feet per minute,
and that was between Z-5 and Z-6. That's where
we had the temp probe stowed in there. And the
people over in the systems would probably be inter-
ested in the temperature which I'll give you in a
minute, but that's - those are the circnm_tances.
I had the flow meter between rate gyro package Z-5 -
that's Zulu 5 and Zulu 6. And the airflow in there
is 25 feet per minute between those two cases.
Okay, the CSM/MDA hatch at 01:59, 2.5 feet per min-
ute. At 02:38 in minus-Z SAL, zero. At 02:h6,
rain - plus-Z SAL, zero.
003 03 17 33 PLT In the PLT's sleep compartment with the door closed,
1/2 to 1 feet per minute. By the way, the noise
level or the sound level taken in the PLT's sleep
compartment was - was with the door closed - the
fabric door closed and Velcroed. Water T-n_ 3,
at 03:07, zero feet per minute
003 03 18 00 PLT Okay, and the temp sensors on day 002 and 3: Ward-
room, 72.3 degrees. That was about at 22:00 hours
or whenever it was I reported the others. Day 003
at 00:30, LBNP, 72 degrees even; at 00:35, the
dome, 72.3; at 00:54, A_4 and EREP foot restraints,
70.5 degrees; at 01:05, in the airlock, 70.0 degrees.
That's rate gyro Z-5/Z-6, 81.5 degrees. At 01:58,
CSM/MDA hatch, 76.7 degrees. And 02:40 minus-Z
SAL, 73.2 degrees. And I would like to make a
comment that it felt much warmer in the workshop
than these temperatures reveal. At 02:h5, plus-Z
SAL, 7h.0 degrees. But the dry bulb temperature
is definitely not a comfort indicator, because
it felt sensibly warmer in the - by workshop walls,
particularly by the plus-Z SAL. At 03:00, PLT
2_6
sleep compartment, 73.6 degrees but very comfort-

able because of the airflow and lack of radiation
heating. At 03:07, water tank n_,ber 3,
74.8 degrees.

003 ii 02 31 SPT SPT at 11:02 reporting some handheld photos,

CX38. Frame number 6, ii - f/ll. These were
all tsken with a 55-millimeter, 1/250-second
exposure. The first one was of Caucasus Mountains.
It was a oblique, looking down the mountain.
Hoper,S]y, any interesting geological patterns
would show up here. And I did not see any faulting,
even up to this angle, although I did not have
very long to study it. Frame n,nrher 5 were -
row of clouds which was parallel to a landform
underneath - landform underneath being what
appeared to be sand dunes which had rolls parallel
to the windflow, and clouds above formed
parallel to the windflow. Thought it was an
interesting analogy or an interesting effect
between the two, both having the same wind
pattern. The one, of course, being - the land-
form, of course, taking much longer to form.
Frame nl,mher 4 was some cloud rolls ...
2122
003 ii 04 12 SPT And these were cloud rolls on the lee side of the
mountain - very distinct. They did not look
turbulent; but in con - contrast to everything
else, they looked fairly - like fairly dense
clouds. And they were of a roll nature very
easily ... along the mountains. They looked like
cylinders, fairly - fairly dense, fairly bright.
They looked like just a thread that's rolled
up. I did not see any sign of convection in
them at all. And frames 2 and i were an oblique
of snow-covered mountains in Mongolia, which
I shot primarily because we're at the end of
the roll, and also it's a beautiful picture.
We were close to sunset, low Sun angle, and they
were taken at f/8, previous photo roll. Well,
hold on. I skipped a frame on you. Let me go
back. Frame number 3 is of rolled low stratus.
By that I mean Just some very low stratus over
a fairly large area, maybe about 70 miles or so.
And there was linear features along them parallel
to one another. Looked like they ... They looked
like low rolls, low stratus. The size of them ...
across might have been oh, a mile or two at the
most. That was taken at f/16. And then frame
number 2 and i are the oblique of the snow-covered
mountains in the upper part of Mongolia, f/8.
And this is a beautiful picture with the low Sun
angle and the snow on the peaks and the rugged
terrain.

the 13:15 ATM pass. We got through JOP 6, step l,

time, we lost some power on the C&D panel in the
INTEGRAL LIGHTING in the NUMERIC. So we had to
stop right there, and we were Sun centered, having
completed the VTR recording. And also JOP 6 was

MIRROR, AUTO RASTER; GRATING, all zips. That's
about it, there's nothing too startling that can
be said. We took pictures - I took pictures of
the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH and the XUV MON during
this pass. The bright spot in XUVMON for active
region number 12 is still nice and bright. You
can almost - well, you can barely see it on XUV
MON without integration. There's another bright
spot coming around the east limb which I understand
is old active region 96. There are several other
small bright spots on the lunar [sic] surface -
The lunar surface - the solar - the solar image
there in XUV MON. We have one at 3 o'clock at

0.2, going over to 9 o'clock at 0.2. We have a
nice coronal hole at the south pole and not much
of anything at the north pole in the way of a
coronal holes. In the WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH,
we're looking at about the same sort of activity
as we had for the last couple of days. The -
the streamer on the - on the east llmb has widened
a little bit more at the base. The point has
become a little bit wider, and I see evidence of
a nice, fairly bright streamer coming out from
the broad base - and - and radiating away from the
point. And that's at about i0 o'clock and - which
is about 2 - 290 degrees radial there. And there's
another - another one at about 260 that's not quite
as - as well formed. Then whistling over and
looking at the west limb, we - we have a spike
growing up at about 2 o'clock, rather broad based.
003 14 16 38 CDR Now as I remember, the last couple of days, we've

talked about the west limb being Just nothing but
straight hash all the way across. And yesterday,
we began to see this little spike growing at about
2 o'clock; and tods_, it's quite a bit larger.
It covers about, oh, l'd say about 30 degrees of
arc frc_ 080 up to about 050 at the base. And
then the point of it is at about 060 and 065,
something like that. It's a nice point. That's
about all I can say. I found the - the problem.
We have an INTEGRAL LIGHTING problem, l've got

considerable activity at that precise point on

dot was on about ll:00 to ll:30 and I wasn't real
sure whether that was close enough or not. It
was - it was, in other words, it was close to
the film hatch line, and it - so, I was very,
very cautious when I put the carrousel in. And
that's why I don't feel I did anything. As soon
as I contacted resistance, I pulled it out
And I don't know what - whether that did it or
what, but there was a pl - plate, you know, a
plate sticking out, which I shall now describe.
It has one sq1,_re corner on it, and it looks -
it looks like a kite, a quadrilateral kite.
That is, a quadrilateral-type kite. And, let's
see, the piece is about 2 inches long its longest
dimension. It has about an inch of straight
2135
edge from each corner out to where the crack

starts. And so it's either shaped llke - I'd
say it's kite-shaped, or it's shaped like an
arrowhead.
003 16 15 15 PLT PLT out.
003 16 15 17 PLT Oh, by the - another thing, too, is that, one

of the reasons I'm more or less reluctant to
set that particular carrousel _mless I have to
is that I have to use pliers. You c_T1not do it
with your finger on i-i. And I don't like using
those pliers down there on that shaft any more
than I have to. Yes, l'm using a pair of
connector pin pliers. I- l'm working -twist
in the blind, and there is a lock washer that
holds the spring on down there. It's one of
these slip-on type - not a lock washer, a - a
ring washer or a spring clip, or whatever you
want to call it. And I don't want to reach in
there with the pliers any more than I have to,
because I 'm afraid I will dislodge that holding
ring, or whatever it is. And if I ever do that
we're going to be in deep trouble. You may give
_ that some consideration. So there are two things
to bear in mind on i-i. One is that you cannot
set it with your finger, l've made the point
before. And when we set it with the pliers, and
that's what I had to use, it's a - I'm very,
very careful. I went ahead and used it today,
but I don't like to use that any more than I have
to for the reasons indicated.

I decided it was sour on Bravo; confirmed it
on Delta. 15: detected salt on Bravo; confirmed
it on Delta - on Echo. N1,mber 16 was - what
tasted sour on Echo - I could not taste anything.
Maybe the taste of the paper was getting to
me by that time. I - in all tests, I did not
taste anything at 16 except a slight bit of that
bitterness which goes along with the paper
itself. And that's what I put down for - for
2136
Echo but I already had a - a good confirmed sour,

so I would say there was nothing on there which
I could detect.
003 16 35 39 SPT On 17: I detected orange on Bravo and decided

for sure it was orange on Bravo. On 18: I
decided on Charlie that it was onion, and
concluded that it was definitely - that it was
Charlie - that it was onion on Charlie. Okay,
results of the aroma test: 30, lemon; 32, chicken;
34, cherry; 36, orange; 38, pork; 41, spearmint;
43, pepper; 45, wintergreen; 47, cinnamon; 48,
onion; hg, chocolate. I did not really have
that much difficulty rememberinK these smells
from taking the test previously but as the -
the same as when I took the test previously,
deciding exactly what those smells correspond to
is something else. For example, lemon taste -
smelled more like garlic or shellac. The last
one, h9, chocolate, had a weird odor to it which
really didn't smell like chocolate, but I
remember - I believe I associated that with
chocolate last time, so that's what I did this
time. The realities of the smells - some of
them are not too good. And I really had no _
problem remembering that I smelled those same
smells before, but identifying what the heck they
were is something else.

003 17 14 44 CDR This is the CDR at 17:15 Zulu, and I'm debriefing
the 16:46 ATM pass. It consisted of a JOP 15
Bravo, step 4, which was a building block 37, a
single 82A exposure. And - which I bungled - and
a JOP 7, step 2. Okay, the building block 37 went
without any problem; I stuck to a ROLL of plus 1300
in order to make it consistent with the data you
got in the previous ATM pass, and also our little
prominence is still - still there. So this posi-
tion is good, I think. We have the LIMB OFFSET
2137
switches for the XUV SLIT, LIMB POINTING and STEP

are taped off, as well as LIMB SCAN.
003 17 15 58 CDR All of the exposures for building block 37 went

without any great problem. I Just woke up here
and realized that on this SINGLE at 6 minutes to
go, which was supposed to have been an 82A, I did
an 82B, so I bungled that one up. And atmospheric
extinction went without any problem at all. Be-
tween the time I did - I finished up the SINGLE of
82B instead of A, and the time was due to do the
atmospheric extinction, I went over and took a
look at active region number 12. It is indeed
getting weaker, the plage is nowhere near as bright
as it was yesterday. And I took oxygen VI at
a - let's see, the GRATING POSITION was zero,
DETECTOR 3, and I Just kind of surveyed the area.
I found the hottest spot to be an INT_SITY DATA
count of about 350 counts, and it was in the
following plage, the plage on the following spot,
and that was about it. There's nothing else of
interest on the - on the disk that you can see,
and XUV hasn't done any significant changing since
the first time I looked at it, nor has the white
light coronagraph.

003 17 21 47 SPT SPT at 17:22, S063, the comet photograph. On this

nightside sequence we got six frames ; they are
frames n1_mher 2 - or excuse me, frames 3, h, 5,
6, 7, 8. That's two of them with no filter,
i second and 2 seconds. The next two with filter,
Delta i, Delta 3, and then the last two frA-_s,
Charlie i and Charlie 2. We started at 15 min-
utes after, that's 17:15, and ended at 18:30,
that 's 17: 18: 30. And I did not bother trying
to keep the precise time at which they were -
each one of them was taken as I believe the horizon,
the airglow, and the relative location of the comet
will give it to you much more accurately. I didn't
want to get slowed down before I could give you
these things, as much as I could for you. Hope
to be able to pick up the remaining ones on a
subsequent pass.

2138
003 17 23 38 SPT Oh, a note on this - for S063. Again these were
handheld, and I tried to keep it as steady as I
possibly could. And secondly, the timing was
done by reference to a wristwatch, but not the
precise timing you might get if we used a timer,
which is perhaps not a bad idea. I ought to think
of that.

003 18 13 41 PLT PLT commenting on 131, oculogyral illusion run.

I had a sense of rotation at the higher speeds.
I did see the line move rather steadily downward
once, and it was at one of the medium speeds, and
why then and not at no other time I don't know.
I find it extremely difficult to sense the illusion
at all speeds since l've been in zero gravity.

003 18 h8 13 CDR This is the CDR. This is the CDR at - okay, it's
18:h8, or 18:h9 Zulu, and I'm debriefing the 17:55
ATM pass at this time. Started out with a JOP 6,
step number 2 and that went without any - any prob-
lems at all. Then we shifted over to a JOP 26,
building block 10. And we're looking over at the
east limb - at what, I don't know. There didn't
seem to he too _ch activity going on over in that
area. However, we did a maxi-MAR, I guess you
would call it - max,-RASTER. And I got caught up
and got a little bit ahead and got permission from
air-to-ground to go ahead and pick up the S082A,
SHORT, 1-m_nute exposure that I missed on the last.
2139
And since that was in this same general area, it

was no problem at all, and got it. And still had
some time left before it was time to do my atmos-
pheric extinction.
003 18 49 38 CDR So I went over and explored some of the XUV hat
spots. There was one XUV hot spot out at about
2 o'clock and around 0.7 or thereabouts. I think
I mentioned that on an earlier debriefing. And it
turned out to be nothing. I couldn't - couldn't
see it in H-ALPHA 1 at all. I went back over to
active region 12, and surveyed that again. And
the spot that I surveyed last time i that got about
a 350-count oxygen VI, was up to about 1500 this
time and looking a little bit brighter. The rest
of the area was pretty _mlch smaller. And about
that time it was 4-1/2 or 5 minutes to sunset, so
I went on back to Sun center and got set up for
my atmospheric extinction work.
003 18 50 37 CDR And I noticed, in passing, while on the H-ALPHA 1

zoomed all the way in, that one of the cell areas
looks a little brighter than the rest. So it was
within - since it Was within the field of view -
f it was only - I didn'treallyget it - didn'tthink
to measure in arc seconds, but on my scope it was
about an inch up and an inch to the right. So I
Just zoomed up there real quick to see what it
looked like in oxygen VI.
003 18 51 05 CDR And I was amazed to see that it - it counted 6000

when I got there. And it faded out to about 4000
and held for a while. And by that time it was
3:h5 to go and I was already up against that atmos-
pheric extinction. They wanted me to start the
MIRROR, LINE SCAN at 4. So I went on back to Sun
center, started my LINE SCAN, and Just kind of kept
my eye on the brighter spot. And it slowly faded
and leveled off at slightly higher intensity than
the rest of the cells in the area- the cell
structure.
003 18 51 hh CDR The atmospheric extinction went without any hitches

at Ali. I got all the data you need. I did not
get a chance to look at a white light coronagraph
this time. And some of the more prominent spots
that show on our photographs that we took this
morning are gone. And this new rascal was kind of
2140
interesting to look at. I - I'ii take a look at

it on the next pass, I think, and see if it's still
as hot as it was this time.

debriefing the 19:27 Zulu ATMpass. This one I
didn't really do too well on for you. The JOP 26
went okay, and - that is, the step 9. I got down
to step number i and really started messing you
up. S05h - I left the GRATING, IN instead of OUT
and the guys on the ground caught that and I managed
to get at least one of those scans in for you with
a GRATING, OUT. The S056 SINGLE FRAME, h exposure,
instead of being 8 minutes, was more like 12. And
I Just flat forgot it and Just let it run right
off. And you got some less than h00 K time on that
exposure, too. So I don't know how much good that
one's going to be to you.
2141
003 20 24 58 CDR The atmospheric extinction all went okay, no problem

there. But it was JOP 26, step I, building block 28,
that got butchered up pretty badly. Nothing new
to report on the XUV MON or anything in that area.
However, the little bright area that I discovered
on the previous pass that gave us a count to
6000 - 4000 to 6000 on ox_Een VI was nowhere to he
found this time out. And so we could see that even
in the areas where it's quiet, things are changing
pretty fast.

Earth observations. Let's see, I want to go back
and Just let you know the status of some of the
optionals you sent up to us. At 12:17, the _I19-12
and 119-4, I missed because of physical training.
And - it was during an exercise perio d . And, let's
s@e - The next onewas optio--I at 18s29:51. and
that was B-_148-7. l was ready for that one, but
MiRm_ wasn't. The M/Am_ area - the whole southern
end of Florida was socked in, so there was no
possibility of getting the fire scar down there.
The 20:04 optional I missed because of A_4 activ-
ities. So we missed the HHIT0-9 stuff. And during
the 18:25, that was about 18:31 or 32, the Cape
was clear, and I took a 300-millimeter Nikon shot
of KSC with the focus mainly on pad Bravo, where
this whole thing started.

003 21 55 41 PLT PLT out for the time being.
003 22 04 14 SPT SPT; 22=04. ATM JOP 18D, beginning at 20:36.

Had no problems until we got over there and it
was nowhere to be seen. I made a maneuver out
in the X direction, first; could not see it.
Removed that by hitting the SI switch, nulling
the biases. Made a -_ueuver out into the Y -
plus direction. And it finally appeared, after
two maneuvers in the Y direction. I thought I
saw it at the very end of the first one, and
sure enough it was, and I had to maneuver further
out. I conclude that it was somewhere around
minus 60 in X and plus 30 in Y, which was neither
good for seeing it nor good for the observation.
So if I had not been able to get an eye in on
it, we probably would've spent a good part of this
orbit not getting the usual data. It's going to -
The next one's coming up in two days is really
going to be difficult. The only way I was able to
see it was actually when it was in motion. And it
looked like moving noise on the screen. The screen
is us1_A11y Just a random flickering of black and
white when you've got the intensity up toward - to
the optimum level. And here it was Just a small
ball of flickering black and white, which would
be moving - slightly brighter than it was darker,
but not discernible unless it was moving. You
could always tell where it was when it cA_ to a
stop and kept your eye on it. So perhaps it was
discernible when it was - when it was not moving.
But you know exact - had to know exactly where to
look, and it had to be very far out, Just about
the outer edge of the - the disk. That's 150 octal
units.
003 22 06 21 SPT Did the first building block; no problem there.

Second one - had to put it in the tail. And here's
where this mA_qs confusion began, because people
chose to change procedures after we'd been doing
these things for a couple of weeks now. Had been
successfUl, and a11 of a sudden we got some new
21h3
procedures cranked in here, and it makes no sense.

And I was not too happy to see it because I thought -
felt we lost some data take time in the - all the
m,nipulations required. First of all, it said it
was not visible, gave us some coordinates. Well,
it was visible. So these coordinates, you would
think initially, were not useful, that is, the
change to make from your initial pointing. But
if it is visible, then put it 31 octal units into
the tail. Unfortunately, you could not see the
tail. You could only see the coma and you had no
idea which way the tail was pointed. This piece
of information was left out. What we should have
done is what we've done in the past - is to give
the position of the nucleus. Also, to give the
objective of - the fact that we're pointing it so
muny arc seconds into the tail, or arced so many
hundredths of a degree into the tail. That's all
the information we would have needed. That's much
simpler, along with your if-you-don't-see-it advice.
So, the net result was that I had to move it out
back where I could see it, maneuver back to be -
mRke sure it was still squared away, move back to
my initial position of minus 60, plus 70, and then
"_ move - maneuver it in again. And I was a few arc
seconds or a few hundredths of a degree off, Ini-
tially, so it was worthwhile doing. But all that
took a little time. And even though we did get over
15 minutes, it wasn't by much for the exposures
in 30B. 56, 82B, and 54 all got about 16-minute
exposures in their requested modes. 55 received

both large pieces in there's about - there's a
small piece that's missing about - probably about
4 percent or 3 percent of it is missing. And it
was show - shows pretty clearly on the photograph.
