21 51 54 SC Hello tape recorder for the

contamination observation STS window
number 3 is perfectly clear. Orgion
window however, is another story. It
has the ice in the middle of it which
• we described. It also has what appears
to t-e a dirty film, probably on the
outside of the outer pane because it
has what appears to be water streaks
down it and due to the half end of
the vehicle I suspect that same water
was on the pad. There is quite a bit
- of oily looking film and it's hard to
_ tell if it's on the inside or outside
of the outer pane. A few darker, dirty -_
looking spots like and in these _
j• _" tracks it looks like some water has run
."- _ down over the window.

evening questions. Question number 4, on water

that the color development on that was
rapid. Questionnumber 5, during the
flare drill, SOA, S02A was operated in
the flare mode for approximately 4 minutes.
_ Number 6, on the S055 high voltage. Let
me answer kinda 6, 7, and 8 by giving a little

Delta, the answer to question I, following
rush, SOAT mode the operating light stays
on. We haven't tried auto i, yet but it
stays on it's time, and auto 2. Question 2,
when the SOA2A door opens the next time, is
it operating right? T_he answer is, the ready
light is on when we start the experiment the
first time, the operate lights stays on for
ever until we close the door. Question num-
ber 3, we'll have the answer for you a little
later today, but as ! remember since yesterday
have you noticed any trips in a - job one
laying around I minute before sunset? And
the ans_er to that is I've reported the
_ scriptsbut ! don't think it's as far back
as i minute, we'll check that.
CDR Hello, friendly B channel this is the CDR,

x,Tithanother com_ment for the follo_ up crew.
We have had a fair _mount of trouble with the
16 millimeter 400 foot m_gazine combination
running all the time. But the first thing is
all the noises that you're hearing on the
ground the clickly, cleck, cleck, cleck, cleck,
it does not do that at all up here, oh gee,
is all termustate is dox,m. Did you have to
see, and also you don't get the jerk, dragged
out for some reason. Did you see on the tape
spool as it's first treading, and a -
_practically the only way you can check it is
if you really got a good tread is to do all
the things and then - take your pin a_.d mark -
t_=e the magazine off and mark the frame, put
it back on the camera running again to see if
it marked through, gut it's an entirely dif-
ferent set of dowls up here so, ail your good
dresses down on the ground you can ne_]ect

the PLT is not in that. His AOS31 -2. Rog.
Question was degree of difficulty. It was
much more difficult due to the lack of
gravity back there. It was quite difficult,
as a matter of fact, at that angled I think,
is quite full for making a - to be able to
defang. Point 2 on first degree offense
to use, they're hardly were any so there
were no earthquakes. The positive fact to
the upbreak at 89, zero, for Erie. But
not get interfering anything greatly. Okay,
assuming the Point 3 gravity in that period,
is negative. Check okay by R malfactors,
kl
negative. So I'm trying to debnke able.

you want to concentrate on something else
for a fe%, to nmny mimutes, want to lock
yourself I. and stay locked. However, it's
a lot of trouble getting it in _nd a little
trouble getting it out. With 2 triangles on
my shoe it drives me up the wall because it
takes me 30 to 45 seconds to get locked in
at a - at a spot, which is a waste of time.
Between the mushrooms, I've eva]_;ated the
medi._ and the large, I thought th_ medium
mushrooms were adequate hut they _:ere too
easy to slip out. You had to concentrate too
much on keeping your foot pressed against one
corner of the triangle so that tl_e _ushroom
wouldn't pop out. But the large mushrooms,
this is not nearly so bad, they're fairly
easy to slip in and they hold vetq,,well,
• sometimes they're a little trouble getting
out of, trying to get it out in a hurry you
_-- have to sometimes look down and f_ure out

that reason, Paul prefers small ones, I pre-

leave the triangles and one of tllem to ride

the fol.]owing equipment items. The OWS
fireman's pole has not been used, I believe
if it were in place, it would be a handy
helper for a - photographing in _orkshop,
and for carrying large objects with one
hsn@, however, the strap, while it probably
doesn't do that good a Job - satisfactory
job. We don't have any present intentions
of reging the fireman's pole. Okay, the OWS
wall ha_drai!s again, are adequate for their
Job, maybe even give tham a very good. Their
Job is not to hand -over-hand it - you'd never
hand-over-hand it around that ..., unless
you've got a lot of equipment in your hand and
_ a - or carID, ing a large package for instance,
if you _:ant to mak_ sure you don't get loose°
You ordinarily fly from one location to the
next and. all you need when you get there is
something to grab onto and the handrails are
perfectly satisfactory for that. I think
the handrails for +,he SPS) are very good a .-
once agsin, they're not for hand-over-
handling, they are for steadying one's self
at one's workstation, stopping when you come
flying through the hatch, you want a handrail
to grab - push yourself around on, to get
into position to look at a panel. Having
the panels to circtum - the handrails circum-
ferency around the various panels is a very

attached to them, and varlo_,_ locations can
be selected either forward or aft of the -

ficulty here is that we didn't th_nk we p,,t
all the extra Junk in the ex'?arlment eom-

to be. And on the rlght-hand side of the
bicycle there is virtually no onen _r_d _rk
or holes between triangles to p_'_tthings in.
The shod*or is much too close to the bleycle.
Okay, portable equipment, these three, the
straps are extremely useful, the short strap,
I haven't used too T_ch. They are really too
short to tie thln_s to. But the long st,'aps,
the eqt,ipment straps are extremely useful, I
have right now, the entertain_,.nt tape recorder

collection system. Tbe |mnd_'asher handrail,

let's Just say in general_ that it's nice to
have handrails around the wa_'te management eom-
part_.=ent for park_n_ your body. The foot re-
stra_._.t_ in the waste management compartment are
not good, the loc_tlons are ,_,_v_,except, I
notice that two of the foot restraints tend to
interfere _rlth the CDR and PLT's waste com-
part_,ent drawers, opening the _ar:_e. So_ethSng
we ought to avoid Jn the future. The problem
with foot restraints as they are: number I,
they're velcro, they ._re not very easily ad-
Justable for size and they keep coming anart;
number 2, they are not large enough to admit
the cleated shoe, in Just th_,t they are s_lip
and slip. And that problem has t_ be thought
through and some Better foot restraints pro-
vided. And foot restraints _.re very handy
_ and even required in there. It's nice to have
a small closed comvartment• !ilre _.ho._,-*" yo_, can
go in there, elo_e the door, a_] kind of Bounce

SPT Roger. Okay, leo=.., dispenser, no problems.really.

You need a little something to react against when
you're pushing the food down into the water dis-
penser, generally you either brace yo_,r_elf with
your thigh restraints or you put one b_nd on the
edge of the food table and pt:ll at that while you
. push doom %_ith the other hand. The water gun is
Just fine. It's an excellent piece of equiDment.
The food tray is okay, except that the friction
set shouL_ he _mrlnkley w_th sometb_ cf e_=t
sort so that it can tolerate food cans and parti-
cular drink containers of a wider dlspersien of
sizes. They are very common of ... of ._r_11
food trays - small food can or drink container
can't Just _o wandering off, because it doesn't
stick in the friction set. Fran_ly, I think it's
a fine thing. The food cans are oP_y, with the

couple of drawbacks. They are adequate, they
are doing the job: but _aslde from the failure-

and seam failures that we've had, none of which
by the way in _catastrop.!c. _e problem _.;iththe
beverage dispensers is that the tendency, _;hen
, they _re half full or les_ is for them to suck
air and the nozzle you have to pTll up in lhe

SPT ... with some comments on JOP 4, so the Pls

will know what the hack they're doing. They
caught a little foul up with the $5 - read-
Ings after having announced to them what I
was going to do, I husseled backed to the
panel hit the start switch and it was still
in a grating mode, so I aborted that. I'm
going back and getting the right groting
and giving them a rafter. I ought to have
llne 50 which I figured _rlll cover the
whole parameter and that's putting me be-
hind. So I'm going to do - going to do
building block 6A, followed i_mediately
by building block ii. which are in the

and get 82A in ... time exposurewith a
good roll orientation. I hope I get
through - you guys are still crowding me.
Day slte passes as though we were oper-

16 31 40 PLT Certainly need another comment from the

SPT on JOP 4. The pointing in this since
the prominence is almost perpendicular to
the limb - is almost perpendicular to the
limb. The problem of course, is when the
- prominence is centered - there's an
up disc visible on the d_splay so that it
can't be seen. So I have to - I had to
turn it - guess how far the prominence
sticks out, based on what I saw when I
hot - when I move all the discs off
the - off the TV screen _nd then come back
and try and set the roll as a pointing up,
without being able to see the prominence.
I have pointed far enough off the disc, so
that if my calculations are correct, the
i j
82B slit will not be completely fil__e_ w_th
prominence, but it won't he-:e any disc iv,

the CDR, on day 154 and 16:35. For an

Work restraints, mobility aids, the OWS
flreman's pole. We have yet to rig the
pole, and we will do that sometime later
on in the f!i_ht and zive you an evaluation.
Right now, we haw been using the strap that _
runs from the dome to the grid floor, and that
has Been configured for us to transport our-
selves back and forth, and l'm sure that the
fire_en's pole will he in the s_me cateKory.
The OWS dome and _iI handrails have worked
out very _II. I rate them very good and -
and remlly it's Just that there ni%ht
be a few places that you may add eddltlon
handrails But we have not had that to be
a problem at all, and - the wall handrails,
along the wall itself around the SAL, of
course we haven't really used. We've spent
most of our time locking ourselves into the
grate floor with our shoes or holdln_ on
SAL experiments to ho!d ourselve_ in place
while we operate them.

unfort_qately, in the .qT.qitself - the way
you hold on to the handrails and so forth
we've h_d a _reat de_l of diff_c-ltv, in

our feet, tr_pped a lot of el rcu_t Breakers
and thrown alot of s_Itches i_dvertantly-

though I rate the STS handrail._ as adequate, the

to the problem ... the handrails up in the
STS. (}lus_c) Now the MDA handholds and hand-
rails are really quite limited, and there is
enoufh equipment sitting around to find
places to anchor yourself. But we could of
done, I think, a lot better in thinking
that out - we were going to _rk up there
in placing handho]ds and handrails Ir the

myself, works out very extremely well. I
find it quite comfortable to lock my shoe

any of the task that have been involved.
And I rate those a_ - excellent. The ATM
foot platform has worked well. We had the

dispense water very well. We've had no prob-

14 46 29 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is for the EREP

people. I Just checked film set Li_.a.
(Music) They all look good, surprisingly.
The two ... cassettes which I Just lo_ded
about a week a_o had more sets from where
they came over the rollers than the other
four x_nich I had advanced manually. Hc_:,-
ever, in all six magazines the fil_ doeg
take ,Jp ?reperly, wlndz nice and _ _--
on the takeup fo]d cassette - on the tekeup
cassette fold. So I thi_k it's no problem,
bl_t I don't understand the ... why the ...
has to have more sets to be in the same
position for the same length of time than
the old one.= do. Now on this vlslb]e align-
merit on S192, this is a most frustratlng
thin_. It does not bebave in flight, llke
it did on the ground. I had a good align-
ment at one time, and in an attempt to
peak it up, I've lost the stinking thing and
I've been workln_ for 45 minutes tryln_ to
get it back. I've go_e over the procedure
and there is no sense reading you values
dcr_. So what happens when you foc_s it,
I've 4_¢ned it three times _nd each ti_e
the readincs get worse. I'm just going tO
.let it sit for a _hile _nd come ha_k to it
but I think once I get s fairly decent setting
we probably ought to let _t go at that. End

it, it affected my distinct visible readin_o.
(Cou_h) I can't stress too m_eh as I s_Id
before, how frustrating this is, and we'll
try to have it come out. I guess the thing
to do is tweak it a little bit, come back
later check compose, recompose, and come

18 i0 26. PI,T Okay, ta_e recorder, a few co_ment._; about - about

today's EREP pad. First th_nF, bein% the failure
to open the SlqO vi_.do_,, cover. Ve think that
probably the best w_y to avo_:l that is at the
beginni_ of the pad, yo_1 have proof'crate con-
figurate confizuration and in the :'.ppropriate
places to add sucb items as 192 door, 190 door,
191 door, and the tape recorder. I also recom-
mend that the fotlo_,r crew hri,-_ as few cards,
page ]-I out of the EREP checklist, which is the
s_i_..:_ary
timeline use those. I think once you
get familiar enough with the checklist, that you
can jt_st use that su_ry time]ine, _nd that's
a whole lot better and easier to follow than
the checklist itself. I _ot some comme,_ts on
these data ,.. today. At ]7:08:35, durin_
that needed ,_¢ath we passed over a - the head
of a bu!]dln_ ctt_,.ulonimbusnlmbv.s. Was coming

That's an 07:13:57. At 07:15:37 was over open
water. At 17:15:50, for 6 seconds then the ...

nSficant on that pass. And - also tape recorder

22 26 45 PLT Hello, friendly tape recorder; this is your

friendly crew. We are gathered together
around our unround table for a roundtable
discussion on M487-2 Alfa to the crew de-
briefing. The first question is, '_,_at

and workinE in zero-g? What aspects are
deficient and ho_,:?" For the answer to that,

on it. But un here - I think Pete's r_ght.
In that you don't really want to sit at it -
• sit in it front of a chair. Neither do you ;-
want to stand on that foot restraint platform
we have. I'm not sure what you want. I
guess maybe we're saying that the pamel layout

and the ... distances of the _,arious ,_itehes
and d_p]ays on that panel were not optimized
for a erevrman in zero g. As a matter of "
fact, they weren't really optimized for a
cre%_,an in one F_. But they're doinF_ the ,_ob.
My comments on the MDA as a whole are that
it's a - it's an - it's an efficient way to
arrange equipment; but the size of the M/lk,
_ which is very _ood for hanging onto th_s,
is not too good for traffic, If t_¢o people

22 31 24 PLT Any more for the MDA? Press on to the airlock.

We really haven't done anything in the alrloek
yet. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So now we're into
the dome area. Okay. I suppose I've probably
done as much up in the dome there - well,
Joe, you hung the portable fan. I cleaned
the ... screens twice. Pete and I hung the
condensate thing and I must say that those
leg restraints that are bolted onto the
lockers work quite well for maneuverin_
that. _ean, me too. That was really a
piece of cake. We thought it was going to _,
be a great big ... to handle up there and
maneuver into place, and it really went well.
Even though it was 130 degrees in there at the
time. I tell you, my primary restraint when
I've been working at the inlet screens has -'"
been to just kind of wrap my - not wrap them
around but clamp - a duct - a soft fabric
part of a duct between my legs and stabilize
myself that way. Otherwise, there are plenty
of handholds. I got no problem on the do_e.
Joe, you got anything about that fa_.
PLT No, no problem. It's easier to work by the

... i_ the dome locker region than :|t is
when the fan is, because you're right. What
you need is not handholds up there. Handholds
are strictly for translation. You don't need
them for tra_]atlon. You push off and get
there. You need them to _rab onto. _at you
_emd for working up there - leg holds, like
the soft pert of the duct - like the knee

forth do your exerdis_ng, get a little sen-

sation of body movement. The other thing, it
would be an ideal kind of an enclosure around
which to situate experiments and things to
operate, with plenty of ... in the middle.
22 33 41 CDR Yes, I think - I think the thing that's

turned out about - the whole upper experl-
meats area, is the fact that it is so easy
to operate. I think you're all worried be-
fore we started out on the flight that it
was going to be so big that we were going
to get, you know, ... We haven't. That's
I .
the best way to have it .... a alrlock, go
to a dome locker - and if you want to go !
take off. Tba longer we've been up here
the better you get at this. I anew over ....

no trouble working on any of them.
i: 22 35 02 SPT Another th_ng about that water rln_ foot

restraint or whatever we call it, is that
I had a couple of ta_ks to do llke stringing
the water tank hoses and my favorite one
the portable water tank and a couple of .
other things, and again I - you can't hook ..
your feet _n them when you're workin_ on
it. And I just lald along horizontal -
parallel to it and again clasped it _rlth
my le_s, because yon really don't want to
sacrifice that hand for stability. You
ought to be able to maintain your stability
with - we better r_ve on.
22 35 53 CDR Yes, - let's talk about those thinzs. The

trlanyle wedge is ... lock yot,rself in, ez-
cept it looks !_ke you could lock yourself "-

PLT ... if you wear the foot restraint instead

of the triangles there are ...
22 36 46 PLT The triangle ... is a good idea. It's Just

J that you need something to stick your feet in.
:_ The whole experiment compartment is kind
of one-g oriented and a lot of people have
said, "Aw, you don't need that. You'd
rather - you know, you'll be hanging from
) the ceiling, you'll be hanglnK from the sides,
_ .., nomenclature upside down." We don't do
_'_ that. We - at least I operate in here pretty :' :_
;2 much in the same body position as I did in _ t
,_ training. How you get from one place to **
.... another is grossly different. You push off !
_ the slope. But once you get there and you _
L, want to b= og='uilized by the ices or the ._
thighs or the feet someplace where you can
do the job. Yes, Pete mentioned there's ,:_
one corner of the experiment there. It is '-:
so crowded and cluttered that I can hardly _:
- believeit. The one where the showeris. _
... the shower and it's a busy place. •
Fortunately, you don't have to step over -;
the shower to get to the tool kit and that _
tool kit is the best idea that - that any- .;
body's had. We've been into that many times
- i sinceactivation for a lotof different _
, reasons. One other comment, when you tran-&- :.
late to a surface, it's good to have some
thing like" the little handrails on the sur-
face to grab hold of and torque your body _:
or stop a pitch rate or whatever you have
and if it's a flat surface, you tend to do :
some scra_zbllng around. In the wardroom,
I notS cad that the edges of the locker ex-
tension ere recessed so that you can grab
them with your fingers. That's a good idea
on somebody's part. So much for that ques-
_ tion. _I(_¢about - you want to say 8nyth__ng
about those com2artment - those head - k_at

22 39 56 PLT Let me think about it while I pass it on

to Joe.
SPT I a_ree with that. I wish we had _._o pairs

of triangle shoes so I cnu]d put the tr_-
angle triangles on one and the button trl-
angles on the other and then I'd wear the
button triangles for moving around all day
and the triangle triangles to ride the bike.
The least useful device maybe has been those
cloth strap restraints that are in the ward-
room and also in the head. You need something '
like that in that location, but the cloth .
straps don't stay put, they are too small
to get in x_ithyour shoes, they are too hard
, to adjust with - with triangle shoes - that is
and they're generally cranky and poor _czlg_
and wedon't have that much.
: CDR ...
::_ 22 41 31 SPT ... verbal communications, that is hollering,

h_¢ effective has it been? Yes, right. Not
very effective. At 5 psi I guess the sound Is
not as strong or doesn't carry as far or some-
thing. Within the MDA you can - we a]_cays
do - almost always holler at somebody _o's
in the workshop, I think. Y_a certainly don't
shout - I kn_% that's right. We're all
ho_rse all the ti_e. Vou certainly don't
try. to shout from the workshop to the MDA.
That Just flat doesn't work. The Interco_
boxes for IVA comm has been ml! rJght, for
-- voice recordln_, they'vebeen satisfactory,
for trou_d co_, they'v_ been terrible, be-
cause of the feedback. They always had it
in one _, 15 p_i, in the chamber exit at
St. Louis in the MDA. We didn't h_ve much
feedback and th_ngs looked pretty ro_y then.
But here you're continually _oin% _round and
_-_ Houston calls _nd you an_uer, a_d _t squeals
and you've got to _o do_ _nd turn doxm
_not:_,er vol.me.
