Completely nomianl - uh - I did:- uh -
It's hard to f_nd active region 9
over there. There's some little bright
; things on the limb and I went over
there and put the - uh - stressed
the lines _ith that best I could.
But I don't have a lot of confidence
that it's gonna be representative of
active region 9 although it was the
only bright thing over there.

254 22 52 25 " CDR It's funny, you can see it better in -

in H-alpha 2 zoomed out than when you
could when you zoomed in and tried to
get some sort of a contrast up on
H-alpha I. So I used that as a sort
of a guide to - uh - reposition
now some 80 arc seconds above. I
think I got the best that was there -
that was what I was ttrying. .I
you a partial - uh - another _CIRROR
AUTO RASTER at - uh - active region 19
until the time ran out and then I had
to go over and - uh - quickly
recind to get to page 20 and do the
JOP there. So I think everything
turned out okay. Any questions? If ."
there are, give me a c_ll.

255 00 52 04 --SPT ---- Okay? _is-isUthe SPT on_h_anneY A_

l'm discussing the intial conditions
for the M092/171 run on the commander.
Al's left calf was 12-3/4 inches in
circumference. His right calf _ms 13 -
and let me check again.

255 00 52 27 SPT That's right, 13-1/8 inches• 12-3/4,

13-1/8 on the right• 12-3/4 on the
left, 13-1/8 on the right and all
of the cuffs and legbands are the
standards that we've talked about
all the way along, as is the saddle
position. SPT - uh - info on - uh -
Al's M092 run.

25500 52 48 SPT End of message.

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

Uh - discussing the - vh M092 run on -
uh - the on AI, the cormmander. Uh -
we terminated his run 2 minut@s early.
Everything was looking normal - uh - ._
blood pressures were - both systolic ........
and diastolic - were holding just
about normal all the way. Approximately
90 over 60 and some indication of a
slight reduction• Uh - heart rates did
increase - uh - they had increased
from a resting level of about 70 up
to approximately i00, but they did
so gradually and had done so on
previous runs in about the same
manner.

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

in other words, 2 minutes before
the end of the run - uh - the CDR
decided himself to terminate the
run at that point. Uh - he - uh -
_:i_ dropped the pressure inside the
LBNP and symptoms were pretty much
• as follows: • he said he just didn't
feel right - uh - didn't feel good
Dump Tape 255-01 d

Page 2 of3

and - uh - his arms and - uh - crest ....

were a little bit tingly and he had
sort of a warm sensation. And _-
uh - this was adequate - uh - for
him to decide to - uh - terminate the
ran at 7 minutes. So - uh - looks
like ti nearly, went the full length
and we're running the rest
of the 25 minutes out on the
clock right now and you can see
how the blood pressures and - uh -
heart rates and everything are
behaving. Uh - as the observer,
I did not noticed any indication
of any - uh - incipient problems
from there blood pressures or
heart rates. And - uh - everything
looked reasonably normal up to the
point that - uh - uh - A1 decided
• that - uh - the ium had gone
along about far enough.

255 Ol 04 37 SPT Uh - I'ii be back on the channel to -

uh - provide any other information. " .-

255 01 04 53 SPT Okay, that is realtlveto time of

eating. We delayed - uh - the - uh
- uh - uh - run as long as possible
right to the end of the window, so
it would be just about exactly
1 hour. And he did have a full
hour - uh - after he had eaten. But
that was all. Wy - uh - let's see,
it's now 01i05 and we - uh - started
the - uh - dropping the pressure
at just about 12:48, maybe a minute
inside the window. And he'd finished
eating just about an hour previously
at about 11:45 Zulu. So there Was
the full hour there but - uh - A1
suggests that that may have - uh -
been at least partially responsible
for - uh - not feeling like taking
the full 5 minutes at 50 millimeters.

255 01 25 47 SPT Okay, on the MA CAL. Here the numbers

255 02 06 lh PLT Okay, space fnas, this is Jack on "

channel A. Stand by i, please -

255 02 07 lh PLT (_ay, here we sre again, space fsms.

DEbriefing the last ATM run, which
begin at 01:07. We - uh - got the
JOP 6 - stand by 1 -

255 02 08 24 PLT 0kay, here we are again, space fans.

This is for real; now wer're gonna
debrief the 01:07 ATM rtun. We got
the JOP 6 ran off okay - uh - in
looking at the - uh - corona, I
did my daily picture again for what
it's worth - it's probably not worth
much, but since I did it, I'm gonna
report on it anyways. And -uh - it
looks like in the - uh - east limb -
uh - things are fairly _mlch the same
as they were yesterday, except for
the disappearance of one streamer at
the - uh - northeast side on the
west limb. Still quite a bit of
coronal activity, although - uh -
we have - uh - a couple of sharp streamers
showing up today wihich weren't there
yesterday and the - uh - filament
structure in that area looks a llittle
bit different and - uh - and - uh -
changing fairly rapidly, probably as
a result of all the active regions
that have been going _round the limb,
so - uh - I didn't see any sign
of the transient that we had looked
at earlier there, and - uh - seems to
be about the same amount of activity and -
uh - patterns and appearances, no changes.

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

debriefing on the run. I gave you some
TV down-links, area should be observing
time, at the time there I didn't want to
Dt_p Tape 255-02
Page 2 of 2

-.............. t0 keep you guessing. _ At the--- At ...............

_: the end of the observing time, I had a little -
_ uh - about 5 minutes extra and - uh -
so I thought instead of shutting here
down, I'd look around a little. The -
uh - disk itself isn't too interesting
now; however, I wanted to take a
_ look around the limb and when I did so,
I found some sort of a @hose in that
H-alpha, on the east limb, about a
i00 to sec - 120 arc seconds off the
• limb. Appearedto be about the size
of a dime or a nickle on my H-alpah
scope. I gave you some TV of it
downstairs although my obser - resolution
wasn't good enough to see it. Was
confirmed by Montaloua [? ] I was able
to get a - uh - detector signature off
it in - uh - GRATING, all zeroes detector
3 gave us 0.04 sometimes; it wasn't
real bright but nevertheless it was there
and found in H-alpha apparently connected
to the - uh - diskin any way.

255 02 l0 h6 PLT It appeared to be a stranger all by

itself, although no doubt it was connected
although - uh - the - uh - frequencies -
uh - weren't right for viewing in H-alpha.
So it was interesting - uh - little
phenomena there that - uh - we haven't
discussed too much. Although we have
been taking S052 pictues for the whole
rim and so no doublt - uh - possibly will
see some of it out thee and we been getting
some H-alpha pictues all along tii, so
perhaps it will also show em in there,
Something to look forward to in the
data that you - we do. STarting to to
power down operation and we're gong to
sign off for today, and we'll see you again
in the morning. We'll look forward to
working with you.

went to STAND BY at 24 - 28:45. And -
uh - then I got the altimeter back
on - uh - in - uh - MODE - uh - 5 as
you requested. Before the stand by time
of 29:45. So - uh - it was an interuped

28:45 sometime, although - uh - we were
taking data in the right mode "up until
29:45. At which time, we - uh - went

it will be prdperly registered on the

since that one's come loose and - uh -
drifted away and we haven't found it -

think we're going to find it you ought
to send up a replacement on the next

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

to Bob Nute 9tom the SPT.

255 12 56 58 SPT SPT with a message now that goes to Dave

Brooks, Fred Koons and anyone else
interested in the orientation of the TV
camera when looking out the wardroom
window. Uh - we had a message a week
or so ago - uh - which involves the
proceedures for setting up.the TV
camera looking out the window. Apparently,
there is some concern about what the min -
what the correct minus Z axis direction is,
when looking out - uh the wardroom window.
Uh - yesterday_ _zhen we were doing the
lunar cal operations., I attempted to
make one other operation - uh - one
other calibration which might be u_h -
benefit, - uh.- uh - to you. bT_ - during
the lunar eal operation, we went into
at hold maneuver_ which placed the moon
near the minus Z axis of the spacecraft.
We then performed a cal maneuver, which
swept the Minus Z axis of the spacecraft
through the moon slightly, and then
stopped in at hold and made some other
measurements over there. Now, it is after
this scanning maneuver that we went to the -
to the - uh - at hold position. Then I
placed my eye over by the - uh - galley
in order to put the moon in the center
of the wardroom window. And so I'm going
to tell you the coordinates of exactly
where my eye was located in order to place
the moon in the center of the wardroom
window. And perhaps this will help tell
you exactly what the minus Z direction is.
I'm not sure this'll help but - uh - uh -
perhaps it will. Now after this scan
maneuver, my eye was located against
the commander's food drawers. As close as
I - my head was right up against those -
uh - food drawers_ which are adjacent to
the galley in the wardroom. And my right
._ DumpTape 255-04 ..............
Page 15 of 16

eye, I had my left eye closed, my eye

was one inch to the right of the upper
right haud corner of the - uh - galley
indentation. And three inches do_n, form
upper right hand corner of this galley
indentation. The iudentation that I'm
talking about is the - uh - food after
we've already eaten them. So - uh -
it's set back into the wall 6 or 8 inches
or so. My head was out against the commanders
food lockers, as I said, one ince right,
3 inches do_ from the upper right hand
corner. So in that location, with my eye,
the moon was in the center of the wardroom
window. I hope that will identify for you
exactly where the minus Z axis of the
spacecraft is.

255 12 59 44 SPT The moon was apparently not percisely on

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

255 13 00 23 SPT And so as I looked at the Moon• in order

to make my eye parellel to the grid work,
I had to swing it to the right about
5 to lO degrees. Let's call it - uh -
l0 degrees. And - uh - that will then
tell you - _[h - approximately what the
"grid orientation is, with respect to the
minus Z axis, of the spacecraft.

255 12 00 h3 SPT So - uh - uh - Dave or Fred, if you're not

the right people who are concerned about
this, could you try to make sure that
this information gets transmitted to
F_ DumpTape255-04 _ I

This is the CDR. We've made our lh:00

about lO handheld photos right across
Germany and at the s_ne time Jack was
the 300-millimeter Nikon and he got
Berlin, Munich - I don't think he got
Berlin, take it back. Got Munick and
several other large cities in Germany.
Got Vienna - uh - I don't know. We
- we just got a lot good pictures
of Germnay; tried to cover the area
broadly, inasmuch as your message had
indicated. Previously they wanted a
lot of Germany. So I think we got us some
realgoodpictures.

255 14 21 37 CDR A little more information for EEEP another

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

- uh - TV-IB. CDR - uh - just did 13
think we got some real good pictures.
Now they're not all in sequence there.
You'll probably find that - uh - I got
 DumpTape255-05 ....
/_ Page 2 of 7

some long shots of Owen working the

panel, throwing some switches. Then
I came up close and had him throw some
switches again so that you could back
and forth. Also one of the best
sequences, I think, if you put on the -
uh - image intensity modifier - monitor
that's the little telescope-looking thing.
And look it through it for a while at
one of the things - one of the scopes
and put it back, got out the - uh -
Poloroid camera and took a couple of
pictures. This, to me looks real
good, cause he's looking in it. I
tried to get something from the back
and also from the side. My guess is
. that'll be some real good - uh - some
photography for the networds provided
it's cut and narrated right. Some
of it's a little out of sequence because
- I tried to - uh - and - and I did him
doubles there. But I think it - we tried
to get everything they asked for. Rolling
was something on the monitor. On our
_ monitor,it looksbag; looksliketi
doesn't show up. Uh - but that's during
! Just before that pass, Owen did a lot
of work on the monitor, showing it to
the ground. So you've got information
on VTR, not only for you but just prior
to that for about 6 minutes of this
monitor, so when you want to close in and
see what he were doing, you can flash
back and forth to some of those pictures.
One of particularly good is - was
integrating it, flashing the XUV mort on,
so you'll see a blank scope and in a
big flash will have a - uh - the image of
the Sun. And it'll go away and then a
flash again. And I've got some pictures
of him twid - twiddling that knob and
so you might be able to cut back and
forth there.

Now I've loaded DAC 8 with UA02 film.
I've run 2 seconds of it at 2_ frames.
I'm standing by to - uh - uh - give

if we're not - Well past it. I'm
going to RECORD. Okay, spindle 1 corder (?)
is recording. I've got the mirror set;
a ROTATION, 36.1. That actually accounts
for Nu Z of plus 1.2. In other words,
the pad is plus 1.2, subtract a plus i
and you get i.i and I added that and
got 35 old and 36 -(hiekup) is 15:3,

CDR You sure can. I'm just waiting to see

if the DAC does anything.

• 255.1_ 29 20 SPT Okay, this is the SPT, on channel A, with

information the last ATM _ass which
ended about ih:25 Zulu for the ATM PIs
and planners. The Sun eenterd JOP 1
Alfa Bravo went as scheduled. On
the next building block, we changed
the pointing. We went over and did see
 DumpTape255-05 .....
Page_ of 7 ..............

.......... a small prominence about 100. At ..........

1 radius above 15 and 19, in that
general vicinity. Wasn't very
spectacular in H-alpha, but I assumed
some of the other information indicated
it vas a little - uh - more interesting.
So I first pointed ROLL, 0; and - uh -
DOWN, 200_ RIGHT 941. After starting
the MIRROR AUTO RASTER scene, about
halfway through, I finallydecided that
it was really down a little too low,
and that it would have been better
for the MIRROR AUTO RASTER to have been
moved higher. So I completed that RASTER
and then moved up precisely 3 arc minutes,
up to - uh - D_gN, 020; RIGHT, 941.
So as much as you normally plan your
maxi-rasters and then did the other
MIRROR AUTO RASTER there, so it will
be a 2 are minute overlap and the lines
zero should match precisely because
it was - uh - exact pointing. So that
completed that one and - uh - then in
the last couple of minutes the orbit,
I threw it over onto a bright spot by
the area of active region 19 and - uh -
went to MIRROR LINE SCAN for a JOP 7
information on extinction at the end
of the orbit. And we'll be all _et for
the next orbit; but anyhow, plan to
give you extinction information at
sunrise so you can be looking for that
on the next orbit. SPT's complete with

act right - doesn't act like anything's
happening. Just go ahead and move
to the next one in just a second;let's
give it a little more time. The little

didn't see any green light, but it sounded
like the DAC was in motion. Maybe the
thing to do is - uh - won [sic] one of
these in a few minutes with the DAC
on there - I mean without the DAC connected
and look - and look at it and see what
it does in the inside. That's what I'll
do. After this one I'll advance, you
know at the end. I'll then advance at
2h frames for 2 seconds, and then after
that I'll pull it off and set a small
number on the first one and then see
if we can get this dang shutter to
open. That way it won't ruin your
film, yet will allow us to see what's
going on in there.

throws you. Twenty seconds from now
should knock it off. That's it.

255 16 O0 h2 SPT Okay, SPT on channel A with info ... Pls

and planners. I'm gonna 8ebr_ef the last
A_4 pass ... Okay, we went to - uh -
the - uh - approximate position ... for
that ... In particular, I went right
back to the same coordinates that I had
used on the previous rev, which were
roll 0 - uh - riht, 941; and down, 200,
and more or less established that spot
on the H-alpha and then rolled to make
the 82B slit; rolled about that point to
make the 82B slit - uh - parallel to
the limb.

255 16 Ol 34 SPT Now I don't remember exactly how far I

was off the limb, but l'm sure it was
more than - uh - 20 act seconds. I
checked those exposure lengths. They
appeared - uh - appropriate for a dis-
tahoe of more like about 20 arc seconds.
Now - uh - of coursethat couldvery
likely - uh - appropriate for a less
bright blob feature than - _h - _,,hat
it was as if reported from ... So I -
uh - had to decide what distance point
away form the - tub - limb for 82B, and I
finally decided that - uh - about 20
arc seconds would be about right for
them. Also contributing to that was
the fact that there was relatively
little H-alpha signature; in fact,
essentially nothing above aboat 20 arc
seconds. And I was pointing - uh -
just about right at the top of - uh -
a - uh - prominence or prominence leg
in the H-alpha. Also looking at XUV
there was no particular brightness ex-
tending very far above the limb. I
think it's active region that - uh -
maybe a couple of ... over the limb
and there does appear to be some - uh -
brightness associated with that but
nothing very unusual, so - uh - I hated
to point out too much beyond 20 arc
seconds although I - from the voice up-
F- link, apparentlyyou were expectingme
to point more like a 100 are seconds off
-- thelimb.
_ Dump Tape 255-06

255 16 03 0h SPT So I took the exposures there as -

uh - requested and all in MIRROR AUTO
RASTERS. In fact, I gave you one extra
one there for 55 and all the 56 ex-
posures. And - uh - then went to the
center to - uh - see if that transient
was the white light coronagraph be-
cause by this time we had reported
something as far aout as ... solar
sadii. So I don't really see any-
thing - uh - unusual in the corona at
this point. There is a particularly
bright ray at about - uh - 080. That's
not the coordinates cause - uh - ...
prominence, however, that you gave me;
more like i00. So we'll have to see if
anything else develops out there. And the
next - uh - rev is an EREP rev
so it'll be a couple hours before we
have a chance to look again.

ETC pass of the day over Mexico and along

TIME SKIP

255 18 01 26 CDR CDR with the information for the EREP

officer concernig that Chesopeake Bay -
uh - chlorophyll ... attempt. Oh - Qne
thing that's obvious, _ny time you have
haze, and we have it almost all the time
over these sites except on rare occasions,
when a fronthas bone throughor maybe
out in the west somewhere, water looks
pretty much the same through these optics,
through several shad@s of blue. By that
I mean, I assume that it - for several "
shades of blue do%m there on the water, ..
it still looks a sot of a gray blue to --
the operator. Uh - my guess is our chances
of finding chlorophyll blooms on inland
waters where it c_n't be hazed or even
out on the ocean where it's possibly hazy
is next to nothing with the optic system
the way they are. You just can't tell slight
discoloration of the water. Now, if
you - to a ... amount of dirt coming out
of a fiver or you've got sandy-white
beaches where the waves are breaking andy
you can see the white, that's good.
But any subtle changes of bloom just - uh
are apparent, don't seem to be. Now if
. chlorophyll bloom - if it bloomed a silver
something and it was especially bright and
the light was right, maybe you could. But
if it's a subtle change, - uh - I believe
we're gonna have a very difficult time -
_" Dump Tape 255-07

uh - finding it. And - uh that may - uh -

give some thoughts about - uh - uh -
scheduling that. Jack did mention that
same thing with his thermal unwelling.
If we were doom there over the ocean,
looking out through a nice clear glass,
it's possible we could see those pretty
eisily. But through this optic's change
and through the atmosphere, believe me
you just - uh - you don't see a thing.
It really makes it tough.

a count registered on detector 1. Just
that one - uh - little episode, in which
the count registered for about 3 seconds.

about 3 grating auto scans for - uh -

some - uh - JOP 7 data at the sunset.
Uh - then on the next rev, which is an

Three ops today. The frist one was
35 frames, the second one was 39
frames, and the third was 30 frames,
30 frames only. Okay, one other
- uh - unfortunate thing to report -
I didn't connect the vacuum hose on
the last ... ops. So, I assume that
will be a factor in your resolution
obtainable from the film.

255 20 50 18 SPT And I'd appreciate some coment about

how much you picture resolution will
be reduced. No other - uh - malfunctions
or anything else. As far as I know,
everything else went normal except
for the fact that I didn't have the
vacuum hose connected on run number 3,
over San Francisco and northern U.S.
Uh - end of my message for the EREP
officer from the SPT.

255 20 51 33 PLT Hello, there, space fans. This is Jack

onchannel A. The subject today is
T002, star to Moon sightings. So,
we're going to get out the star Fomalhaut
out of our hip pocket out there, which
I see before me, and zip it up over
the Moon, which is very full at the
moment out the window. And the
temperature of the sextant is 70 degrees
and its - diopters are minus 1.25.

255 20 51 59 PLT And - uh - since we're sitting right

around zero somewhere, we might a
well do some zero bias sightings first,
and rip off about 15 marks on old
Fomalahut against the Moon. First
thing we do is get the filters out
of there. We zip in on Fomalhaut,
which I see before me. Yeah, it - it
depends on where you put it on your
ear, A1. Oh. Make it too tight it
won't work. If it's on the wrong part
of your ear, it won't work. Okay,
excuse me for interrupting and shouting
at your young lady. Oh yes, stand by
i please.
._ Dump Tape 255-08
Page 8 of i0

255 20 53 13 PLT Okay, here we are. We're ready to go

again, believe it or not. Now. Because
I had managed to wear out another
battery, the light does not work.
Battereies don't last if you leave
them - leave them on.

255 20 53 45 PLT MJLRK. 0.006. There it is again,

number 2. 0.005. Okay, there's
number 3, 0.003. Right there. Okay.

255 20 5_ 38 PLT Okay, there's number 4. 0.006. And

here's the final zero bias setting
0.00_. Okay, now let's crank in the
.'.. angles here. Crank in a few
angles. Run old Fomalhaut up to
the Moon. I think what we'll do
this evening is - uh - put the Moon
- Yeah, that's all right - put the
Moon in the upper optical path, and
Fomahlaut in the lower one.

255 20 56 00 PLT Suppose they're the usual mode of

operations so - uh - it makes it a
little easier on the neck and all
that kind of thing. It's not quite
as simple as just rotating th
sextant around to match the line of
sight. When the one you're looking
at is outside the corner of the
wdndow or something like that, that
little idea just doesn't work.
If the window was infinitely big or
everything was right out in front
of you, then just rotating the wind -
sextant around would work very well
I guess.

255 20 56 42 PLT But there's a little window here,

made smaller by the fact that it has
got so many panes. Produces a
pane in the neck. Okay, now we
got the Moon; we got Femlahaut.
And we're going to put Fomalhaut -
The far limb of the Moon from
Fomalhaut looks a little little
well-defined. Therefore, we're going
_f-_ Dump Tape 255-08
Page 9 of I0

to run Fomalhaut over to the

opposite side of the Moon from which
it is normally situated. And there we
will take our marks. Apparently, the
Moon is starting to lose its
fullness of phase. That's another
pun. That's what I mean. The
Moon is not quite as full in the
phase as it had been in the past.
Therefore, it won't be round much
longer.

255 20 58 05 PLT MARK, number i. Okay, and mark

number 1 turns out to be - uh - 33.012.
Now, I have both filters in the upper
optica path, to cut down the
brilliance of the moon. That's
a 1.0 and 1.3 filter.

furtheerest away from Fomalhaut.

255 22 14 25 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on channel A,

debriefing the last ATM pass.
Uh - but J0P 6 twice went okay. And -
uh - there's some change on the
alinggment here. I did get an
alignment 3 days ago, an I guess you
know. And I guess, perhaps, my comments
on that alignment were the thing
that prompted you to resehedule it again,
today. And there is still some
doubt about whether or not it ought
to be on roll 32 or roll 33. So
I went strictly by the procedures
today, put it on roll 33. You'll see
the number. And I think you may
agree when you look at the n_bers
that it's on one roll too far to the
right. But if you'd write on the
dividing line between those two and
I personally think roll 32 is a little _-_
bit better, but the way the alignment \
procedures are written up, it's going _
to force you up off onto that next
right-hand roll.

255 22 15 18 SPT So here's the way the numbers looked

today. Day 225: 21:45 Z_lu, plus
953, plus 953, 55 and 954. At the
lower limb, it's minus 955, 957.
At the left limb, a JOP is minus
953, 82B is minus 955- And then
after stepping into roll 33,
55 was a minus 958. Uh - BARBER POLE
to GRAY. At the right limb then
82B was plus 953, but I had to
clear right 951, in order to get that
switch from BARBER POLE to GRAY,
indicating that a couple of arc
- at least a couple of are seconds
- uh - too far on that side. The
MIRROR position is 09 flag 33. The
fine sun sensor readout - I don't
think your'e interested in those
anyway. So I can leave it on 0933, I
don't belive it's quite as good as 32.

255 22 16 29 SPT But - uh - the alignment procedtu'es

are such that that's the way you end
up getting forced into. Numbers
today lok like it's essentially a
tossup. Can go either way and
also, as I said 3 days ago, it looks
like it takes 30 to 50 percent of the
light on the 55 schedule before you
get a GRAY - uh - signal from it.
The - uh - Sun on the S055 detector
is essentially as wide as it is on
the S055 - as on the 82B white
light display. Okay, I spent too
.long doing that. But I wanted to
give it you as accurately as I could,
so I went a little longer than
was allowed for on the timline and -
uh - did 12 Delta next.

255 22 17 21 SPT On the - uh - calibration on 12 Delta,

I went 5 and i0 and 40 seconds. The
240 calibration- uh - I had to f_'_
extend somewhat below ESS. It
extended - uh - let's see right down
to 2 minutes, which 82B may consider
too far below - uh - ESS than is
ususal. But - uh - you'll have to
look at your data m_d see whether or
not you're happy with that. You want
it redone at 2 plus 40k of course,
we can do that any time. And there was
also not time to get Suncentered and
do JOP 7- So - uh - I expect you
schedule those every chance you
get anyways, but - uh - Well maybe
not quite that often - But if you want
another one of those to make up, why
you'll lave to reschedule it, l'm
afraid.

255 22 18 08 SPT l'm sorry I couldn't fit it all in as

required, but this - uh - fou-limb
coalignment took me longer than
scheduled because of this problem
on - uh - roll 32 m_d roll 33. And -
uh - l'm going to leave it at row 33,

now, the way the alignment procedures

suggested. I don't know whether or
not this was prompted by - uh -my
comments last time, 3 days ago.
I you have any opinion about whether or
not is was - should be one roll or the
other or any questions about the accuracy
or the way it was done, I'd appreciate
it you'd let me know about it. These
comments go to the Aq_ PIs and planners.

255 22 18 _3 SPT SPT out.

255 22 30 08 SPT .This is a message from the SPT to

Dick Undez_ood. Dick Underwood at -
uh - Johnson Center ... Dick wanted to
alert you to the fact that we're
getting a fair number of photographs
of the aurora, and - uh - airglow and
sunrise and sunsets - uh - with long
time exposures, i to 4 seconds in length,
- _i - on the Nikon, using CI film.
Now, one cassettewhich has a lot of "_
aurora for the photographson it, is
CII04. _d I wantedto alert you to
this fact so - _h - not only this _J
cassette, espectially but the others
with very faint objects on them can
recieve any special handling that
may be necessary. I don't know whether
you have to give the whole cassette the
same treatment or whether or not for some
special items - tub - you try to separate
out and develop separately those which -
uh - need to be pushed to the higher
ASA ratings.

255 22 31 15 SPT But CII04 is one that I understand - uh -

Well, it's one with a lot of faint -
or dim-object photography on it and -
uh - certainly will need to be pushed
to the higher SA levels. Uh - most
of the phtographs are i to 4 seconds
in length, and - uh - the intensity
of the aurora is brighter than the
80-kilometer airglow. I would say that
is is, at its brigher, comparable to
F_ Dump Tape 255-09
Page 4 of 7

the albedo of a cloud under a half

to three-quarter Moon. So you know
what sort of - I expect you know about
how bright the clouds are and - uh -
ahlf to three-quarter Moon reflected
light is about the same intensity. So -
uh - I wanted to alert you to the
fact that there is a fiar amount of
photography of this nature and in
particular, Cil04.

255 22 32 ii SPT End of message to Dick Underwood from the

SPT.
/
255 22 33 42 SPT Okay, here's a message to Dr. Bill Thornton,
Dr. STory Musgrave, Dr. Mike Whittel,
and M172 Pls. Dill, l'm trying to get
some numbers relevant to - uh - the
effect of spacecraft maneu vering on the
calibration of the mass measuring devices•
And, here's the way I did it. Uh -
we were maneuvering from ZLV back to
solar inertial this afternoon between
17:15 and 17:28 Zulu. Diving this
maneuver, we had rate ... Y-dot of
minus 0•0614. So that is 0.006
degrees per negative about the Y-axis.
During this time, I tried to get some
numbers on the three laass measuring
devices with no masses on them at all.
In other words, just their own
weight. Here's are the way the numbers
came out.

255 22 34 52 SPT On the wardroom S_4D: 1.95600, 628, 619, 623,

636, 629, 631, 621, 622, 626, 617, 600.
Then I went to the waste management
and got the following numbers on that
SMMD: 1.96, 665, 697, 647, 661, 651,
708, 685, 696, 706, 695. And that was
all done between 17:21, and 17:23, for
that last one. Then I went to the
DMMD, next level, and got: 2.70, 244,
217, 246, 230, 202. And - uh - that
was completed just short of comleting the
f
Z

Dump Tape 255-09

Page 5 of 7

the maneuver back to solar inertial.

Then a little later - a couple of
hours later, while we were in solar
inertial, and essentially the rates
where in zero - I got the following
numbers.

255 22 36 20 $PT In the waster management compartment:

1.96, 616, 623, 607, 579, 556, 472, 706, 668,
641, 602, 532. In the wardroom, I
got 1.95, 647, 605, 601, 633, 625, 639,
651. And in the BP._: 2.70, 244, 213,
241, 231, 241. l'm not trying to
•average these or an:_thing. I haven't
had time to do that today, and l'm
sure when you do that, you'll find
some little differences in the averages.
Uh - l'd like for you to see if
you could predict what - tub -disturbaance
there is expected to be at these
very small maneuver rates, or if the
differences in the averages are -
uh - lost down in the noise level
of the measurements themselves.

255 22 37 36 SPT Uh - one objective of doing this is

to not only give you information about
_he rates, but hopefully to eliminate
these contraints on when we do the
measuring. It looks to me - uh -
possible at any rate, that - uh - there's
not going to be any effect of this maneuvering,
and I would appreciate - uh - anyone
can think about some numbers. As
a matter of fact, could you just
send that up just by Capeom tomorrow -
just that you have the numbers and
I can go away - go ahead and throw
away this data, which l'd like to
do. And - uh - if youe ould mention
that I would appreciate it.

255 22 38 12 SPT One other item should be mentioned,

Bill. On the S_,_4Din the head,
I noticed that on the first set of
measurements the handle was loose
that holds down the pressure plate.
Dump Tape 255-09
Page 6 of 7

Thre are six, very small, little

Allen-head screws which hold that
down. _T_ree were gone; the other
three were loose. Uh - Al's has
time a little later and get those
tightened down, and at the same
time found that the screws which hold
the hinges together - hold the
hinges on, were also loose. And os
we got that tightened up. Now I
don't know that that affected any of
those first - that first set of

measurements. __.._
255 22 38 48 SPT I did see the handle vibrating Just a
little bit. And so - uh - that could
of affected the wardroom measurements
during the first set when we wre
maneuvering at 0.06 degrees per
second. And - uh - that's tightened
back up now and - uh - that's the
only other thing was conunenting on and
I would appreciate hearing s_nd talking
about it. End of messages to Dr. Thornton,
Musgrave, Whittle, _md other _._71

uh - it didn't take the short exposures
on 54 here's what it ... what I -_
think happened. I think I ran

flipped to 2, but what I think
actually occurred in there is - u_h -
it cycled and did a double run.
And when I noticed my iittle light on
yellow, which meant take a look
at the panel, it had already gone
through the short exposures on i . --
again. And it was now in the process
of doingthe long ones. So what I
did was go ahead and take filter six
and then I kept backing the frames ...
filter 2 again. The filter 2 is ...
would you say had - a few extras
in filter- short ones in in 7
filter i cause it's played over -_
itself. And a few extra of <_

middle there. And - uh - now
your're getting a full set of 2

something, I don't know. Anyway, they
_ ' all seem to be pretty good measurements.

256 15 50 54 SPT Now, I made a stab at measuring the

hight of the red components in the -
uh - ASP. And here is the way those
measurements look First of all you
need to irient the ASP with the narrow
end up; that is the end to _¢hieh the
_yTinge is inserted to fill it with
blood. There's a narrow cylinder there
which comes down to a flat - uh -
circular plate. There's then a about
45 degree hovel before it reaches it's
maximum circumference and then the
sides run straight down.

256 15 51 31 SPT These measurements refer to just the

measurements along the straight side.
In other words _ from the place where the
bevel meets the outter eirc[umference is the
starting point of the s_asurement.
DumpTape 256-06 ............
Page2 of 3 ..........

Now from that point down to the

- uh - red component for now was
1.3 centimeters. There is about a
0.i centimeter - in other words, a
millimeter red cells - uh - white cells
on top of that• And then the plasma was down
0.9 centimeters from the same starting
point measurement, that is the edge of
that bevel•

256 15 52 09 SPT And those look like pretty good measurements

on AI's ASP. For Owen, it was 1.4 centi-
meters do_n from the point where the bevel
meets the outer circumference un[.il it
hits the red component l.h centimeters•
There's about a 0.i centimeters white
component on - or - uh - yeah, whir@
component on top of that, and the - uh -
plasma was also about 0.9 down from the
top, but that's a very rough measurement•
On Jack, he was about i.i centimeters down,
and his was in the same ballpark but
' not too accuratelymeasured down to the
top of the plasma. All three plasma vials were
completely full and clear. So if you
can give me an estimate, or if you can
make an estimate of the amount of good
from that, l'd appreciate knowing about
it and knowing whether or not if this
information is of any value•

256 15 52 59 SPI' Uh, next let me give you the specific

gravity measurement. Specific gravity
for AI this morning_ first urination 1.025,

the heart rates, the resting heart rates

than they were - uh - th_ 92. Uh - they
were lower on both 93 and 171 and thought
perhaps there was an anticipation of the

if there is still something like that
going in the data, it's more apt to be
a part of the ... that klways follo_s the
M092 operation and that the heart rate
is still suppressed from the recovery phase
of the M092_ _,_ile we're sitting on tile

CC Understand yes, affilnnative. Over.

CDR That's affirm. Yes.

PLT (Chuckling)

CDR I've got to remember that each site has two

parts to it. Last night I had two sites, but
I - You do this, track this in the lake and
then i swap off for I0. Then I go to Walker,
track it until it gets to 5 and then get
out - get the ... The safest thing would be
to pass 5 though see because I do a nadir
swath at zero so that means when I get this
far, you got to be behind it.

PLT Uh - cut the nadir swath short.

CDR That nadir swath ... That's a 10-second

nadir swath, if I could make it 5-second
nadir swath. It would be a lot better.
Okay, I'm gonna do it right.

PLT ...

CDR We'll probably get it, but I don't know if

we'll be able to hang on to it.

Next station contact in about 4 minutes
through Goldstone at 19:28. And for the
CDR, We don't mean to be pestering you,
but did the ALTIF_TER READY light go out
at the same time as the UNLOCK light came
on? That is, were they coincidental? Over.

CDR I do not know. I looked down and noticed that

the UNLOCK light was on. I looked over and
noticed that the READY light was out. They
could have oceurred in either - uh - sequence.

CC Okay, thank you.

CDR You bet.

256 19 26 19 PLT AI, I can pick that site up at 36 minutes and

you need to be for your nadir swath.

perhaps the time wasn't until - uh -
light, on anyway.

CC Hey, Jack, what we're t_ying to do is to

get you to push the button, and precisely
2 minutes and 26 seconds after you've push
the button, put the 191 POWER switch OFF.
This is before the AUTO CAL sequence is
complete.

PLT Okay. Well, then I've been doing it wrong.

I - A1 says he's been doing it your way
and - uh - I been - uh - thinking that -
uh - that was a minimum as supposed to -
uh in exact time.

256 19 53 55 CC Yeah. This is - uh - when your shutting

down S191, like at teh end of the run here,
ve want to - uh - uh - interrupt the thing
in midcycle so that the - uh - the cal-
ibration - uh - cover hemisphere is over the
sensor and starys there, so that inbetween
runs the thing is protected since you can't
close the 191 door.

PLT Okay, I - uh guess I didn't read the - uh

checklist change that w%v and perhaps A1
did. I read it, just this says wait
2 minutes and 26 and then - uh - turn
the POWER OFF. And - uh - I thought that
that was not a - uh - time critical thing
but - uh - since it is, I'll make that

calling that to may attention. Glad I
brought it up because otherwise, - uh -

256 21 32 hl 8PT Okay, this is the aPT on ch_nel - uh - A,

- %th - debriefln_ the ATM pass which Just
now ended at 21:30. A_d I went through all
of the - uh - Sun centers and - uh - that's
- %th - u/_derstanding about the text and
understand pro_Tam procedure, but the - uh -
limb. The left limb worked. Its S055 is
the reason that I J0P 2 F as did on the ATM
schedule. - Uh - had a little bit of observin_
time left over, so I did noticed that the - uh -
h0 called for, on the ATM schedule, of down
0 and right plus 970 - uh - placed the MIRROR
AUTO RASTER well above the motive active portion
of the - uh - prominence or limb activity as
seen on the XUV monitor. Uh - so therefore,
I droDDed down precisely _ arc minutes and
took another MIRROR AUTO RASTER - uh - with
a grating of - uh - 766. Uh, I then went to
the East Limb and - uh - took several exposures
of hew active "region which had Just come
around the limb.

256 31 33 55 SPT That Is, - uh - now visible on the dial

presume that information was not available
to you at the time the - uh - schedule was
ma_e u_. So I took one - uh - 2h0 short
for 82B a ... sln_le frame 0 _6. Y got the
gradln_ around the zero on the - uh - active
region for 55 and a 40 for the MIRROR AUTO
RASTER. And then went back to the disk
center for completion of J0P 7. Uh - in
lookinK at the next orbit, I see - uh - you
have ... exactly 4 arc minutes - uh - I didn't
realize that you were moving down there at
the time I - uh - did the same thing from
J_st this orbit pass.

256 21 3_ _2 SPT However, it looks as if the information is

going to be complementary., because I d/d
my MIRROR AUTO RASTEH essentially at the - uh -
I think it is precisely - yeah. It looks
like it's gonna be precisely the same spot,
which is within I arc second of where I
took the MIRROR AUTO RASTER on the previous
orbit. But I did it at a grading of 766.
 Dmrp Tape 256-.09
Page 2 of 8

Uh - so - uh - you have another grading

position at essentially the - uh - coordinates
that I'ii be using on the next orbit.

SPT Now this information goes to AT_ PIs and

planners frc_ the SPT, out.

SPT Okay, this is the SPT reportin_ on the comnletion

of housekeeping item 82A 70 X-ra_v-4, which
relates to the - uh - ?_fOL_IEVE calibration.
And - uh - when I completed - uh - 70 X-rs_v-h
on 10A the - uh - ... still do in and out
were resweetively 5.5 and 3.0. On MOL SIEVE,
which is, I think, the one you wanted, it was
reading off scale hip_hinlet and zero outlet.
I have removed the detector in_late, moved
to calibration chart ... and - uh -so the
old one has replaced the caii_rati6n charge
up in the - uh - locker.

256 _I 39 14 aPT It said to stow it, id didn't say where,

But I stowed it uw in the right locker.
And - uh - did that for the information for
the - Uh .... building off scale high at
zero, as a replacement. Okey, I guess
that information w_ll go to Schultz and
ar_voneelse interested in MOL SIEVE performance.
SPT out.

256 _I h_ _5 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on channel A.

The subject is T020, suited run. A1 Bean
the Pilot, I'm the observer. We got him all
strapped in, pressurized and we're rea<v to
dock and - uh - Just now getting the cameras
going.

256 _2 _h h6 PLT 0k_v, we got to adjust the seat height.

- _56,_2 _5 _i PET I guess we got it as short as we can make it.

I think the seat height a_ustment is a
little too - uh - in the ... condition.
Needs to be shorter. Needs to be lower.
_ut _t's e_rrently in ten, that's about as
far down as she's gonna go. About the
1_est we can do is - heels are riding up
off the - uh - the heel - uh - heel's about
- uh - half an inch.
 Tape 25g-09
Page 3 of 8

256 22 27 02 PLT What we need to do is have a shorter - uh -

shorter seat heiRht, which we can't have, or
we need to have the the - the foot pedal needs
to be slipped forward, because his heel and
the suit ride up off the - uh - off the heel
box. A_d - uh - it looks like it - the
heels are tipped u_ at the ball of the feet -
ball of the foot, and it - the whole foot - uh -
restraint ... ouchta be slipped forward, Just
to match suit. Uh - there's no way we can
adjust the - uh - the height any. different],v
than it is - uh - to make it shorter, because
it's about as short as it will go. There's
no w_v I can pull it out, either, to make
it longer. Cause it needs to be shorter.
It needs to be shorter. And with the foot
pads more forward than they are now, But -uh -
I can't possibly make it arKv lon_er, it Just
- uh - would amwlify the problem, to make
them longer

256 22 28 21 PLT So we're gonna proceed as we are. The seat

helghth adjustment in as low as possible,
whiohis - uh - i0. I Justcan't- I Just
can't make it any shorter than that. If I
made it longer, it would - uh - it wouldn't
solve the problem. It'd Just raise his
heels off more. Natural - the natural - uh -
position of the suit is not to have the
knees then cramped as they are. Made for
less knee bends than - uh - than the STNU
is made for. The PS8 pressure is 2500 pounds.
We have battery 6 and PS._ number 4. And the
pressure box settings - uh - are not going
to be changed. He seenm to be able to - uh -
to - uh - pitch and translate without cross
coupllng.

256 22 B0 29 PLT Okay, I've got a hold of AI now, I'm taking

him out to the center of the workshop, and
- uh - we're going to do - uh - have . ..
change in roll maneuver pitch. I'm gonna
face him toward the film vault and a pitch
up and then down, two times. Come on, AI.

256 22 B2 33 PLT I'm gonna change your startln_ Dositlon.

If that's okay. Instead of looking at the
film vault look at the food lockers. How
about letting me change your starting position
so your looking at the food lockers instead
of the film vault, because of this camera
thing? Okay.

PLT Oks_v, Al's gonna start his pitch uw. He's

gonna he facing the food lockers instead of
the film vault because I have to onerate the
camera and have the cord with me. Okay, stand
by for a pitch un maneuver. Okay. This is

And - uh - he's gotta roll to the right,
off the coolant now .... he's going
back, then he got a left yaw out of that.
When he pitched down, he got a left yaw.

now he's gonna do a y - a roll maneuver.
He's gonna be facing the film - the - uh -
food lockers a_ain. We - uh - tend to work
it that way on account of the we,v the dome
camera is set nn. I gotta have the cord
with me all the time, keep me around back

the right mark, he got a little roll left
then. Now he's stonwin_ his Yaw to the right.
Okay, he sto_ed his yaw to the rlght, it

out of that. Yeah, the yaw left gave him
a little roll left. His umbilical is
swinging around - uh - behind him at - uh -

he's stabilizing himself in yaw, back to the
original position. Okay.

256 22 h3 30 PLT Mark. Re's there. Okay, _e're going for

number 2. I'm gonna - uh - take time out

pictures we won't need. Get rid of it.
The only way to get that button off is -
the DAC off when you want it is to take
the button with you. And then you
dangle your elbow and all that kind of
stuff. Okay, we're hooking pu the -
uh - DAC now for a kind of a foot control-
ler input. Okay, now. What else does it
say to do? Connect the power eables_ It
worked, and I go F-8, 1/16 at 1/60. F-8,
1/16• 1/60 and 24 frames. Then about 16 -
aim it between the tips of his feet over

him what to do - show him what to do.
He can't hear me.

256 23 07 32 PLT Must have been the monitor on the cable,

huh? Oh• oh. Okay, here we go to
minimum foot control input.

PLT Okay, he's making his foot controller

input, and we're taking movies of it.
Also_ I'm taking some pictures of the

put the - uh - camera back. You asked us
to do that.

PLT F/2.

PLT Give some more. He's going to do some

this is a dumb thing to take pictures -
It'll be 5 minutes now of this.

PLT What? Yeah, I'm going to do that right

after I take a few pictures of this. Is
it nice?

PLT Okay. Make sure the minimum foot control-

ler input is with the - okay, we're back
into - the - uh - proper place. To there,
we go to f/2 at 5 feet adn 1/60. F/2,
5 feet, 1/60. Slide the DAC in here.

256 23 15 26"PLT Okay, now we're going to fly a little"

bit, O. This is another instal3_nent of
the Wilbur and Orville show. _e got
Orville here, A1 Bean, all attached to
the foot control maneuvering unit. And
- this time he's in his spacesuit,which
is different from last time. And - uh -
we're going to have him do the - uh - few
maneuvers here.

256 23.16 17 PLT Okay, we've got A1 positioned over here

in the proper place. And he'll do another
translation maneuver. Hang up on my -
uh - camera cable. Okay, we'll give him -
right over here where he needs to be. Get
his camera cable out here where he can get
it. Make sure we're all kind of untangled
here. Guess we are now. Okay, there he
goes. Translating merrily away.

256 23 17 24 PLT Okay, he's - uh - translating over to the

other side of the workshop. His foot came
out of the foot controller. I got him.
-I got him. Okay. That csmlera running up
there, 0.? Nope, it's not. Okay, let's
take it back over here. No, it's not.

self up here. There he goes. Here, let
me attach this camera to me so ti doesn't

thing again. I'll stabilize him here.
This is number h. Tht one running up
there, 0.?

256 23 19 02 PLT Okay, here he goes. He's translating

away. We've modified the umbilical
that he was goint to use because it was
rather stiff, and it tossed him arou/qd
in here. So, all we have now is one
little airling going to him so he can
breathe. He could suit pressurize _ but
he doesn't have the water lines and the
electrical lines that normally go in
there, so - I - I can't talk to him and
so he can't talk to us. Sometimes he
gets _ut of reach; and I have to go 8//d
figure out a way to drag him down.
Mostly if I can get him moving in my
direction, I'm okay. Like that. Okay,
here we go, A1. Why don't you sort of
glide him over this _ay. And I let loose
where I am, then I glide along behind
him, and catch him _hen he gets here.
It's klnda like playing pitcher and
catcher all at once.

256 23 20 08 PLT I get over here just in time to grab him.

Okay, let's see if we can find a maneuver
for him to do. How about that one s AI?
Okay, he's going to do a maneuver I just
showed him, which I had a pitcher of.
}Iere's number l, number i for the camera.
Okay. Translate, and then he's going to
pitch - 90 degrees. Okay, he's translating.

256 23 21 lh PLT I'm going to try to get untangled and get

over here. Okay, got a little bit of a
right roll in on that. But he's pitched
.down 90 degrees now and he's moving toward
his objective. And he's going to reach
up and grab ahold of it with his hands,
momentarily. Okay, good maneuver there,
A1. This camera's off. Okay. Take him
back through that one more time. Okay,
Dump Tape 256-10
Page _ of i0

now, I'm going to pitch him around like

this and I'm going to pitch him in that
direction over there. If I can keep up
with him and not get ahead of him, I can
catch him before he gets there. Should,
but I'm all tangled up in these wires.
Okay.

256 23 22 3B PLT We'll do one more here of the same thing.

Cameras are on. Okay, there he's on his
way, now. Is my camera running up there
now? Okay, there he's translating a little
bit adn now he's pitching forward. This
maneuver is completely_operated with the
feet. Oh, got a good blast that time.
The purpose of which, of course, is to
•leave your hands free to grag or to hold
onto whatever you're doing. And the pur-
pose of us doing this in the workshop here
is to evaluate the feasibility of a
foot-controlled _mneuvering unit for use
in spaceflight. Well, if we have a back-
pack we can use hand-controlled input.
Then we evaluated that ... as well.
Okay. Now, we're going to turn the
cameras off. Okay, that takes care of
that.

CDR Let's do that one again.

256 23 24 09 PLT Okay, he want to do that one again, he

says. So, A1, I'm going to shove you
over this way. REal spaghetti bowl in
here with all this - There he goes and
here I go. Okay, I got him - almost.

CDR ...

PLT I know it. I can't record the noise ...

Okay, now I got you. Come here, boy,
your mine. All right. Okay, Orville,
we're going to try that one more time.
And our good television cameraman up
there, Owen Garriott, says he wants to

to pitch do_-n and get to his objectives
there hand - hand first. There, I got a
little too low that time _ud bumped the -

Okay_ he's going to do it one more time.

256 23 26 52 PLT Okay, cameras are on. There he goes.

Ke's thrusting. Now he's pitching. He

pitch, a little eorss eupling he didn't
want. But htere it is. Okay,- now he's
pitching dow_ to the rate of about
5 degrees per second. Stopping his pitch.
Continuing his thrusting. Okay, he's mad
it. Okay, movies are ging off. Okay,
Owen, I think that's about enough TV.
Okay. Now let's see where we were.

256 23 31 36 PLT Okay, folks, now we're in the process of

converting over to SOP operation. We're

256 23 47 50 PLT Okay, space fans, we've got A1 hooked up

to the SOPs, now. We're going to - uh -
tske him out here. He's got h300 pounds
indicated ... 5000. I think we're going
to omit the slngle-action translation
maneuvers. Okay, he's going to do a
single action of translation maneuver now.
'Ti/ we just don't have enough aupply to
do the Job.

emergency oxygen bottles that's
keeping his suit pressurized and
giving him something to hneathe. You
notice he's not hooked on umbilical
this time, as he has been in the
past. And he'_ maneuvering o%-er
here, nearly to his objective. And
there he is, he made it. Okay, Orville,
turn the camera off. I think the one
up in the tunnel is oging, yeah.

256 23 54 06 PLT Okay, here we go. Now, I'm gonna

pitch him over here, and then I'm
gonna he over here to catch him when
he gets here. I think; here we go.
Okay, he's gonna do one more maneuver
here. Cameras are on.

256 23 54 46 PLT MARK. There, he's beginning his

maneuver. Get underneath him here.
Stabilize him so he can begin. There
he goes, okay. Translating now.

256 23 55 29 PLT And it looks like he's gonna wind up

where he - uh - started out to go to.
And now we'll get our cameras off.
They have a camera mounte_ right in this
maneuvering unit that shows where it's
going. Hope we have one up where you're
looking at it from TV. There, you see

how easy it is to - uh - move a.

large mass around'up here. This -
uh - apparatus, including A1, in the
suit and everything, is probably
around 300 pounds. You Just glide 'em
around. I'll take his - uh - ...
pressure. It's down to 2200. And
he's down to a 1000 pounds on the
PSS. 2200, 2200. Wanna cut her off?
Qkay, I'm gonna have to terminate him
because we got to - uh - a low pressure
on those PCU. That's a good, O.

PLT Yes, thank you.

CDR ...

PLT No, ....Okay, let,s see hwat we have

to finish. The only thlngs we didn't
do-

CDR a couple of ...

PLT Okay, let's see, didn't we do a - we

did that. Did you do that twice or
once?

CDR ...

256 23 57 27 PLT Dogleg - that's all they were adklng

for. Now they weren't asking for
that with _he umbilical.

CDR ...

256 23 57 33 PLT I thing we did ... where the TV -

we didn't give a dogleg, that's true.
Now, the things we didn't give 'em
were the SOP - were Just the pitch
maneuvers. I know it, I know it,
that's the only thing we missed so
"far. And - uh - we should give them
some dog legs, like you say, and
then - and then there are these things
right here, you have the ...

Repeat the - the repress perf0r_ ........ ....

steps 1 step 9, the umbilical effects
were significant - they were not.
Turn on both DACS and resume run perf_
2 successful repetitions of each
maneuver. Whew! Want to go through
the whole thing again. What would
you like to do then?

256 23 58 15 CDR Couple of doglegs ...

257 00 03 l0 "PLT Okay, here we are again, space fans -

uh - we've got A1 off the SOP. We
had to terminate that - uh - without
getting the attitude maneuvers in - uh-
single action attitude maneuvers,
although we did ' tub - the translation
maneuver. We ran down to 2000 psi,
and now we got him back on the umbilical
and he wants to do some more maneuvers -
uh - He's pressurizing now. SOP didn't
want to pressurize the -'uh - suit
very well. It kept it up there once
got it there, but we had to'turn off
the flow in order to - for it to let
the ... pressurize it on up, and held
around 3.4, I believe. Now Al's going .'
to do a - uh - let me get him situated
here. A 2 axis translation maneuver.

257 O0 04 25 -PLT Okay, that's MARK. ThEre he goes, he's

translating. Put his foor now to the
right, ... isn't back in now. Okay,
now he's - uh - pitching down and -
uh - he's going over toward the FMM.
Seat is going way high is the air, get
there inverted. There - he's there.

257 00 05 18 PLT MARK. Cameras off. Eh, we have him

in the film light, we're gonna have
to change this back, ... from the FMU.
Pull the circuit - circuit breaker to
the camera; camera out. Okay, were
putting the CI69 in there now, it's
got 60 percent remaining. And then

.r
 Dump Tape 256-10
Page l0 ofl0 _

we'll get it hooked up here. Okay,

VI70 is the used-up magazine, I put
it in my picket. Now Al's - uh -
gonna fly a couple fo dogleg maneu-
vers with the umbilical.
PLT There he goes.

257 00 09 l0 MARK. Translating.

257 00 09 48 PLT Okay, he's going - uh - at a very

slow rate - uh - 4 to 6 inches a
second. His feet got pitched way up, --
he's in there just about inverted.
And he's reaching out for _._J2 now.
Turning off his camera. Okay, I'll
take him back over here. Turn off
my camera. Numver 2, there he goes.

257 00 ll 01 PLT MARK. He's running, doing another .

dogleg maneuver - the second one.
Pieched down all the way, just about
now he's translating. Okay, there
f he is. He getshis cameraoff,let n
me go back here and get mine off.
Ready to fly around now7 Okay. _i
Okay, now you're just going to fly
around - uh - do some - uh - crew
discretionery maneuvers, as we call
them.

PLT I gottago reseurhim in just a <

minute. Okay, it looks like we're ,?
gonna secure this operation. Okay.
Turn my camera off. You gonna fly --
it unsuited for i or unpressurized?
Is that the idea? Okay, we're gonna
terminate the - uh - TO20 run.

257 00 15 h0 PLT Okay, space fans, this terminates

the run on T020 and - uh - this is
end of message on it, and A1 is gonna

257 00 39 32 sPT SPT on channel A debriefing the last

ATM pass. Okay, it was, essentially,
all - _h - shopping list stuff.
And I talked about doing the item 17
at Sun center, which was about the
only thing that wasn't scheduled.
Then I had to interrupt I had
to go down and - uh - take some
handheld TV of T020, which _s on
my - uh - schedule pad, so that
knocked about i0 minutes right out of
the middle of the - uh - block and
when I got back there wasn't time
to do the - uh - shopping list ite
19 F item 19, as - uh - it's really planned
out. Uh - I checked Zhe times as
carefully as I could.

257 00 h0 04 SPT I went ahead and made a stab at doing

a modified shopping list 19 19, and
here's the way it turned out. Starting
at-uh-uh-uhuh- minus 4 arc seconds from
the limb, 82B got their normal set of
exposures down to 20 arc seconds; but-
uh-at 20 arc seconds all I could get
was the WAVELENGTH, SHORT and ut ran
for only 5 minutes, and even then it
ran down about a minute below 400 kilo-
meters. SO - uh - uh I had to compromise -
uh - 82B or 82A - uh - 82B - uh - SHORT wave - and
LONG, WAVELENGTH information because
of time.

257 00 40 39 SPT S055 - uh - was - uh - on the limb

about h arc seconds in and then - uh -
two steps out - and two more steps out:
and I kept that down to i, 2, and 3
GRATING, AUTO SCANS repeactively, to
those three pointings instead of three
in each. Uh - radiation assuming that
the intensity for most of the ..., at
any rate_ was dropping off with increasing
altitudes. Uh - d gave them a longer
- uh - sets of grating scans - uh -
further out in the corona. Uh - at
-- the end, there was just time for a
 Dump Tape 257,01 ....
Page 2 of 16 ...............

little hit of _CIRROR LINE SCANE.

I - uh - did - uh stepping back on to
the limb. We set it to GRATING ZERO in
OPTICAL REFERENCe, then started _RROR
LINE SCAN. I think I only gave you
DETECTORS 1 and 2. I forgot to turn
the rest of the DETECTORS on for the
rest of the MIRROR LINE SCANE, so
you see I have a little bit of that
in addition to the GRATING, AUTO SCANS.

257 O0 41 33 SPT S056. I started to give you some

5-minute - uh - exposures. Uh - as it
turns ont, I made my usual mistake in
adding a SINGLE FRA}_, NOP_,UhL, to the
.... SINGLE _, LONG_ which I caught at about
• . - uh - oh - 18 - a.fter the first exposure.
So I got droppedthat dow_q to only
2 exposures - uh - 3 and h minute - u_h -
3 and 4 - uh - FILTERS. Uh - the first
one, I gave you about a 9-3/4 minute - uh -
excuse me - a 9-minute exposure, and the
• last one I had to give you only about
a 4-minute exposure. It's on filter number 4.
[_ , You're gonna have to check the telemetry
_ to confirm thosetimes. So it's .
.. sort of a chopped up mini-limb scan.

[. 257 00 42 15 SPT I - uh - hope that the results are - uh -

i)q still useful. Uh -I didn't quite fulfill
- uh - the requirements that we're - uh -
set out - uh - in your, teleprinter pad.
I barely had time to swing back to Sun
center. Made it by about 5 seconds and did
_ run the JOP 7 - uh - about as - uh -
planned, except for the fact I only had
DETECTOR i and 2 on again. That's when I
noticed the fact that I had not enabled all of
them. So you'll have DETECTOR i, at any
rate - uh - available for - uh - that, as
well as S052. That's the end of the
debriefing for the last rev.

257 00 42 52 SPT AT - info goes to the ATM Pls planners from

the SPT.

257 01 27 39 CDR Okay, this is the CDR with information

on T020. I'm debriefing the run today_
 Dump Tape 257,01 _ .
Page 3.of 16 _ I

! That informationgoes to - uh -
Bruce McCandless -uh - Don Hughes ,
Lou Ramon, or any other TO20 interested
- uh - individual]s. I'm using the
f debriefing guide.

257'01 27 57 CDR Does pressure suit fit test subject

properly? Yes. If not, where? Were
any adjustments made? None. If fits well.

CDR Does pressure suit PCU and LSU fit

is i the FCMU properly? Pressure suit - In
my opinion, you end up tilting too far
back, and you can't see over your toes
well enough. You need to be, in my
' opinion, bent further forward in a more
. naturalEva position. Uh - you're
• i leaning way back, and I know it's the - for
c.g. control and all that and maybe it's
"/ _ necessary, but it's - it'.s not one you
":: like. You can't see down towards your
22 feet, which is direction you're moving,
_ "_ well at all. You can barely'- well, it just
-_ is uncomfortable. I'd like it much better
_ if you hunchedover and - uh - your butt
were further back. But I don't think ."
- it can get that way. Incidentallytoday,
we still - we left all the pading in there
- _ per - uh - instruction.Uh - I did not
...... move a thing.

:[ 257 Ol 28 55 CDR So we had the - uh - quarter-inch pad in

_ the back, but it was not at the butt
_ i, area; it was up higher and naturally I'd
_]_[ like to have it even more you tend to
tip forward further but it'd probably
_' _ foul things up.
• . !

257 O1 29 l0 CDR PCU fit well. LSU, LSU fit well.

_'_i Didn't provide - uh any problems except
i you just gotta have co_m. It's a blind
operation up here if you're in the suit
hearing the air flow by, you don't know
what the other gay is doing and he doesn't
know what you're doing. It triples
the time and - we don't have that kind
of time to waste. Getting a couple of
..................... wires, stringing them down there from -.
the normal connectors, bringing up maybe

i"
 Dump Tape 257-01
Page h of 16

a special couple of electrical connectors

with just those wires, one to fit on your,
your - uh - into your - uh - uh -
multiple connector there at the PCD
connection and another for the panel,
couple of wires would be just - just nice.
Uh - terrible the way it is now.

257 01 29 53 CDR Were specified F_CU adjustments satifactory?

Uh - my shoes came out a couple of times.
I - i had difficulty telling whether
they were adjusted properly or not. We
tried several settings, all of them
seemed to be well enough. At no setting
could I get my heels down in the plate.
It appeared that - that my my knees were
" sort of bent like the suit likes it be.
When we stretched out_ my heels stayed above.
We tried all positions and _v heels never
rested down in the foot restraint, hut I
don't think that was a problem. You -
you ask and I told you.

257 01 30 25 CDR Foot - could foot controls be actuated

properly? Yes. Does body or feet feel
loose inside suit? Not partieulary, no.
I didn't th_nk it was any problem there. Foot con-
trols could be actuated okay, except you
don't have any subtlety with them again.
Also, your feet slop around much more
in these boots than they do inside shoes,
but - uh - I'm not telling you anything
that's not one - g operation. It has the
same feel inside the suit as it does at one g.
I think that'd be safe to say. Do control
forces and travels appear to be satisfactory
through the suit? Too high. Much too hard
to push down and up, particularly. Uh -
every force in the suit's too high. I think
you ought to - uh - and on suit. You
ought to release, decrease the forces
and all these pedals; make it a lot easier.
We didn't have nay trouble today with
accidental firings. Most of the time it was
from wearing your legs out, trying to fire.

257 Ol 31 20 CDR What effects do the umbilical and suit

combination have on the assigned maneuvers?
I didn't see much today. This new
umbilical is a winner. If it had COMM,
Dump Tape 257-01
Page5 of16 ..

it'd be good. Suggest that you send

Jerry up here and have him split up
another one, save - the comm, and you're
in business.

257 Ol 31 33 CDH Don't save all those wores. Get rid of

the bad ones, just save the good ones and tie
off the bad ones. Uh - he can do it, and
it won't bother the electrical system.

257 31 47 CDR Could effects of suit be sidtinguished from

those of umbilical? We discussed, namely,
no umblical effects so - uh - any problem
could be suit or vehicle.

257 01 31 56 CDR Could target area be seen adequately.for

maneuvering? Definitely not_ You could
see it but then you had to maneuver to a
different position to go for it; also,
you were constantly pitching down. And
you kept wondering if you pitched down
whether you were going to hit something
or not. You don't know how far this
maneuvering unit extends below your feet
so you don't know if your getting ready
to rub against something, you're - you're
blind and it it's not good. Was head
mobility within helmet adequate for fields
of view? Head mobility was the same it
always is - field - Don't blame it on the
helmet. Problem is the position of you in
the vehicle and the vehicle extending way
down below your feet.

257 01 32 30 CDR For SOP ops, is the absence of the LSU

influence noticeable? No, you got more mass
so you maneuver slower, which is nice.
More cross-coupling. I noticed more
cross - no I take that back, I noticed
the same amount of cross-coupling. Quite
a bit of cross-coupling in suited operation.

257 Ol 32 _9 CDR For SOP ops, does suit have significant

effects on task performance? Same as it
does for umbilical ops.

257 01 32 56 CDR Yes it does, and - uh - the main effec%

is your helpless, your hanging out on the
front of this thing and you just are helpless
as can be. I think the thing that brought the
Dump Tape 257-01
Page 6 of 16

message home to me is realizing for the

first time that I don't ever go anywhere
in this thing. Somebody puts me somewhere
and then I make a maneuver and then they
put me back. And it's - it's - it's like
a baby when you're teaching him to walk.
You hold him almost to the - to the divan
and let him walk three steps and they fall
and get it. Or you're teaching somebody to
swim and you get them pointed towards the
shore and you give them a shove and they
do 5 strokes and catch the bank. That's
what you're doing in this thing• You c_n't even leave
the docking station and fly to the middle
of the vehicle and stop.

257 01 34 _0 CDR You got to have somebody move you around.

And they - it's just noticeable in that
suit. You're helpless. You're standing
there with no comm. You're standing
there - you can't move around worth a darn,
and you don't know what's going on the
rest of the world• You're hanging on to
something or you're just floating• You're
saying "Hope I dump into something soon
or - uh - I wish somebody'd come get me, I
can't go any where from here. I can't
park myself to well. The CG's too low
and I'm not strong enough." Was suit
training adequate for these maneuvers.
No suit training's adequate for - uh - those
maneuvers. There just - tub - the system
is bad. The system being the vehicle
itself T20.

257 01 33 49 CDR It just doesn't have it. Let's fact the

facts. That many degrees of freedom is
bad. Controlling things with your suit?
What's that? The whole thing is - _h - is
not good. Simulation is -is bad. My
rating on this thing is 10. Both inside
and outside•

257 O1 3_ 36 CDR Was the system controllable? No. Why

wasn't it controllable? Cause you can't
go anywhere. Once you get there, you can't
get back. You can go pitch uo and pitch
down. Was performance adequate?
Dump Tape 257-01 .......
Page 7 of 16

257 01 34 h8 CDR No. None of it was, no. It was all no: ........
You can't - you can't do anything. The
only reason it works unsuited is when
you get to a box you can crawl around
on the box and push off, stabilize yourself.
When you get in you're suit you can't do
that anymore. And I was even useing IVA
gloves. I give this a complete ten. Comment on
any exspected and unexpected differences
between suited T020 operations and the OWS,
bag 6 degree in the following areas.
Task performance. Much harder here. Why?

257 01 35 19 CDR You're hanging out in the breeze. You

got 6 degrees. Every time you put in a - a
thrust, it's not perfect and you can't
• c0rrect it. If yo_ don't go - head for teh
target, your off in iether forwards, backwards,
left, or right. You have no way to correct
it. Now I got where I could spin in towards
the target.

257 O1 35 35 CDR In other words, I'd see nGse_f going up, so

l'd rotate up and then dive for it. That's
not a precedure- this is not a precision
machine. We don't want to fly something .
in space that's like th_s. This is not
a precision operation. You can go
somewhere, stop, come home, you can fly
precision. There's no precision to this,
none. You can't even stay in one spot.
It's that simple. Airbearing? You still
can't stay in one spot. Once you get
moving you're gonna keep moving until
you hit something.

257 01 36 08 CDR You can't stop there, except for friction.

6 degrees.

257 01 _6 13 CDR Should U- used this 6 degrees up at - at

- uh - Martin. We could have find out that -
that this didn't didn't work. That was a big
mistake not using it up there. We would
found out these problems then. That visual
simulator, my opinion of it is it's got
some things in there somewhere that damp
out any small rates., or let your rates
go to zero.
Dump Tape 257-01
Page 8 of 16

257 01 36 31 CDR So if you've got some slight rates

built up latterally it tends to damp
them out. Now I - I"m sure that that
isn't in there oh purpose. I'm sure
it's just there, to take out the - the -
uh - bad parts of the simulation, because
-it keeps from building up dri_s - it
tends to damp out small numbers or
something. That's what gets you here
small drift left and right just build
up and that's it. You never seem
to see them on the 6 degree. I don't
know probably work load much higher here.
For the reasons discussed. Vehicle
characteristics:

257 01 37 03 "CDR Vehicle characteristics it - you - when

you hit the foot control it goes pretty
good. You have cross coupling, you can
correctthat. But you just can't do
anything with it. It's just a - uh - like the
odometer dwonstairs, it doesn't go _lywhere.
You can get out and bike and exercise,
it doesn't go anywhere.

257 01 37 22 CDR Piloting Cues: There okay. Can't see

over the front end. You can't see where
your going too well. k_aen you pitch down to
get something you hope your feet don't
hit something, if they did and you started
bouncing off, you'd be gone because your
going to head off in another direction you
can't stop yourself. Piloting Cues, the
rest is on disorientation. The suit just
makes you realize how "out-to-lunch"
you are on top of a vehicle, that's all.
Discuss relative importance to the following
simulation artifacts. Degrees of freedon.
Uh - 100 percent - uh - problem. You
shou/d never fly - uh - something like this
without 6 degrees of some - a similar vehicle
- than something like this. Uh - you could fly
509. What you should 8o is develop the
vehicle on a 6 degree until it's so simple
that you don't have to have a simulator, and
thenyou fly it thatway.

257 01 38 14 CDR If it's not that simple, you shouldn't be

flying it. Auto visual Cue - Cues. The
 DumpTape257-01 ........
Page 9 of 16

only reason you'd want a simulator later

is for failures. So maybe you'd want
the 6 degree for development and you
take the guy you let him fly it for a
while on the 6 degr e. Then you give him failure,
and that's it.

257 Ol 38 31 CDR Now here you don't have the failure porblem,
but in real world operations you would
have to account for them. Audio Visual Cues.
Development on 6 degrees by the way.
Audio visual Cues, same thing no audio.
Uh - the noise up there is good, there's
nothing there. Gravity factor.
It's a problem, but you could surmount it - not
big. It's in degrees of freedom•

257 01 38 52 CDR Body suspension, no comment. Operating

invelope, ought to be realistic. Extraneous
noise, no comm - nothing. EVA valve.
_- Would you feel confidentin flying an
operational system employing the major
features of the EA - F - F - EA - EVA OP?

257 O1 39 09 CDR Definitely not. I give a - uh - lO,

which means con - non controlable. I would
say that this vehicle right here in
unacceptable for EVA operations. I
feel it's unacceptable in size. Not
from safety , but you just can't do anything
with it. Has no operational use at the
moment. Uh - unless it had 6 degrees, I
don't think it would. Then you'd have
to go back to the foot control. No reason
to have foot controls. How about a foot
control automobile? I mean stearing, how
about a foot control airplane steering?
You wouln't want to fly those would you?
Your life's more on the line on this thing
than it would be in flying a car - driving
a car or an airplane with your feet• That's
what people don't remember.

257 01 _4 OR Okay, CDB back again, let's keep going.

Would you feel confident in flying untethered?
NoNo! Or tethered? No. Do you feel that the
_ T020 thruster placement and foot control
logic would be acceptable for an EVA
 Dump Tape 257-01
Page i0 of 16

situation? No. What sort of EVA task do you

feel this type of maneuvering unit
could be sued for? None. What modification
do you think should be made to the
maneuvering unti to - uh - make it
adapt for a wide variety of EVA tasks?
Put six degrees of freedom on there and-
give it hand controls.

257 01 44 32 CDR What modification should be made to

the PGA to adapt it for use with the foot
control maneuvering is? None. Combining the
total T20/509 experience, including training,
discuss the following features for an
advanced operational system the appropriate
mission requirements intended for specif -
Equipment location. I thihk it should be very
simple and on your back. It's out of
the way.
/ -

257 01 hh 57 CDR It should have controls that you can put down
out of the way. l'm not sure that it
shouldn't have a single controler, sort
of on a flexible unit that you can hole
in your hand in front of you and fly.
Both rota - both translation and rotation.
Uh - then whenever you get near an object
you take that and just fold it back. The
arms of the - uh -uh - 509 are - are too
big and heavy, but l'm not sure you couldn't
make thin ones that way. So it should be
easy to dock easily and donned easily by
one man so that he dan - uh - do it well.
Accessibility to work areas should - by
moving it out of the way is accessible.
Interfacing suit with life support systems.
I would make - uh - definitely have life
supporting system as part of the _4U on the
back and have no umbilical or anythinglike
that so it's a free unit. In other words
you've got your pressure control system, your
oxygen, and your flying unit. Youstrap it
on, plug it into your suit, and go.

257 01 h5 54 CDR Control accommodation. Hand/foot

accommodation. All hand. No foot. No reason.
I can think of no reason to have them
on your feet. This - uh - logic of --this
discussion of - get your hands free. Put
. Dump Tape 257-01
Page ll of 16

one in your hands that you can put down or leave

one up there. I would rather have one in
mymy way up there and work up over my
head then I woul_ have it down on my
feet and work in front of me. No.

257'O1 46 19 CDR Number of control axes - six; no less.

Control logic - like 509 and - but
I think you could do away with everything
but direct. That simple. Control and
"stabilization mode - - I'd say direct the
shole way. If it got tough, you could
have rate _yro or - mh - CMG but I don't
think you need it. I think what you want
to do ismake it simple so the only failure
you could have is a stuck thruster on
or off, no rate problem, and then have
- uh -circuit breakers that can isolate
those things along with a handle you
/ _ rotate to - uh - cut it out.

257 01 46 54 CDR In other words, you could have a system

that - uh - has six degrees of freedom
that have isolatable things when they go
hardover or fire accidentally and they you
could use - uh - translate sideways to get _"
to the target or something like that.
And that would be your so - called
redundancy. Attach two bottles - two
sets of lines or something, and then - uh -
forget the rest. Because I think you got to make it
almost like a little vehicle, tunless you
had two of them, where one guy could
come rescue you. Then you could simplify
it too much.

257 01 47 26 CDR You need circuit breakers for each

thruster. You need a simple system. No
possibility of - of - uh - rate gyro
problem. Control reponse - the ones for
509 are good. We discussed that. Thruster
locations - use of unbalanced thrusters.
Unbalanced thruster, no. Thruster loca -
cation - uh - I think you could have
unbalanced thrusters as long as you
had six degree freedom and - and
a handeontrol!er. Take that back.
System reference axis orientation - in
front of you. That's the place you want
to go. Just like 509.

as you can get. I - uh - you have to know
the task. Obviously, as far as you can
get. Use of tethers and umbilicals not
use them at all. They just get in your
way. They'd hender you. They would -
Anything you can get with a thther,
you can just - jump over there. I -
there's - you throw me a 200-foot
tether and I'll jump the 200 feet.
The problem is when you're trying to
fly around and inspect and do things
like that. I'd get rid of the tether,
definitely, 100 percent'.

257 01 48 28 CDR Need for additional flight - you

" wouldn'ttetheredus on airplane. We
didn't have them on the lunar surfact.
Need for additional flight instruments,
/_ optical, aids, audio cues - no, I think
everything's okay. Don't save - save
the way. Extend. System redundancy backup.
If you had six degrees of freedom and the
ability to turn off any thruster - you'd
have it.

257 Ol 48 50 CDR On the basis of your experence with the

ground-based simulation techniques, air
bearing and all that other, discuss the
relative importance of each of the following
simulation factors as applied - to
research and development of maneuvering
systems and to training of operational crews.
I answered it, hut I'ii answer it again.
Degrees of freedom. Okay, you gotta have
it, Just like the real one. You can't
train on less because your going to get
kidded. And your not going to he able to fly.
I think the one thing many people forget
is you got your life on the line.
When you're setting down on air bearing
in a suit, it's just an interesting
exercise.

257 01 49 27 CDR When yo_'re setting in a big bubble with

_- a thing, it's kind of fun. You get on a
suit and float around un here in zero g and
you've been looking out the window a couple
of times and you find out that the only
way your going to get back home is to get

takes on a different perspective. The
minute you start to realize that you've
got to come home with that thing and you
can't Just say go into hold or get out
and walk across the air-bearing floor, then
it takes on a whole new meaning, and
these failures take on a meaning. You
start saying, "Well, what if one of them
sticks on?"

257 01 h9 56 CDR Nobody cared about that on the air

bearing. Nobody even asked the question.
Here, you say to yourself before you go
out, what if number 2 thruster sticks on? What
am I going to do? Does that going to -
am I going to die then an_ that's the
end? I'm betting my whole life on ghat
thruster down there?" Can't have it. That's
why I don't think you want a foot control
maneuvering unit. You want to bet your
" life on your feet. Your hands are the
precision instruments of your body•

257 Ol 50 20 CDR Size of maneuvering envelop. By the

way, you need that - specially need it
for development. Once you develop it, it's
simple enough. You need a - probably a six to
- u/1 - train on. Although we got 0wen to
fly it and he really didn't need it.
I haven't made up my mind on that.
Would be nice to have it because you got
to learn all these failures. Size of maneuvering
envelope - large as possible. Operating
characteristics - just like the real
one. Pro - proprioceptive cues, motion.
Is that motion cue? Proprioceptive cues.
I don't know What that one is. Oh -
feel cues. They got "motion."

SC ...

257 01 51 06 CDR Propriocepters - I just got a word from

a - a man that knows more. And he says
propriocepters are his body. I think
you can do without them. Visual cues -
you got to have 'em. But I don't think
they have to be like - uh - the real world.
Dump Tape 257-01

You can learn to fly this thing in

anything - in a - in a square room with
Just X's on the wall. Gravity vector
cues - don't need. Audio cues. Probably
ought to have them. Flight hardware
operating features .... it ought to be
exactly like it in development and
exactly like it in operational, particularly.
Body motion effects due to body member -
forget it. Lost in the noise.

257 01 51 43 CDR Body restraint system - exactly like it.

Although - uh - I take it back. On
simulations, I don't know if you really do.
You need to have your - I think you do need
to have your - In a moving base, you do.
• In a nonmoving base, you don't. But T
think you got to have moving base
simulators to learn to fly these things.
Let's faer the facts. You're moving around.
A nonmoving base simulator is not acceptable
in this business. For any more - it is command
module, because - well, it Would be hard
for us to say that it wasn't if it was
acceptable in command module. I take
it back. Maybe the nonmovingbase is ..
acceptable. I don't know the answer to
that one. I'ii have to think about it.

257 01 52 25 "CDR Prior experience and psychological

motivation. Prior - You should build for -
Definitely though, for some, it doesn't take
any prior experience. There's nobody
in this business that is motivated ... -
forget it. Pressure suit effects - you
(laugh) I put them in i00 percent. That's
the way you got to design to begin with.
Anything else is just wish-wash. Discuss
the basic flight maneuvers that could be
treated as standard tasks for research.
"Uh - we've discussed it. I have
no new insights at the moment.

257 01 52 55 CDR Okay, - uh -l've answered the questionmairl.

command module we've got out here with
a couple of failed e_uads and seen
ourselves swirling around the Earth at
18,000 miles an hour, 270 miles up -
is you have got to have the best system
you can build. Because your hanging
your neck on that system. And working
it with your feet. I don't want to fly the
command module with my feet. And I
• don't want to fly a maneuvering unit with

257 02 15 44 PLT OkaY, space fans. This is Jack on

•' • channel A, debriefing the.last ATT,Irun that
started at 01:12. I got a Nu Z update
I did the JOP 6. Came off just like you
wanted, and one thing, ho.wever, that
did happen - uh - that was not like you
wanted was the - uh - 56 PATROL, NOP_L
hung up on filter 2. SO, I pressed on
and - uh - I got it ... in the orbit.
Uh - I went on and did the J0P 12
Dog for - uh - 82B, and the JOP 12 F ."
for - uh - 55. And that J0P 12 F, I
left off the - uh - PATROL, NORMAL for
56 in order to save a little film. And
- uh - when that was complete, I went
back to Sun center and .did the PATROL, normal
that - uh - got - uh - itself hung up at
the beginning of the rev.

257 02 16 38 PLT So - uh - I - uh - thought the best

PATROL, NOP_4AL was the bright for - uh -
the one that - uh - I decided to leave off
for them on - uh - building block 26,
because I wanted to save them a little
film. The -uh - beauty is powered down
now for - uh - your operations and - uh -
I've got some - uh - frame counts for you.
H-alpha was 5191; 56, 561; 82, 23; 82B,
143; 52 is 1743; and 5h is 1482. I took
my daily look at the corona here and
made a little sketch of it.

257 02 17 23 PLT And let's see what I noticed here. ......

Looks to me - uh - it hasn't changed too
much on the east limb. The west limb
- uh - it hasn't seemed to angle out,
either. The shape has changed a little
bit but the general intensity - uh -
appears ot be about the same. And - uh -
some of the streamers are not quite as
well defined - uh - as they were
yesterday hut - uh - in effect - uh it's
about the same thing there that was there
yesterday. So no - nothing unusually
important from this old sketch and you
probably got all the information you
want on that, anyway. So, that concludes
the debriefing for tonight_ and we'll

tomorrow.

uh - since these two sessions are so
close together, that it would not

count some of those sessions where
I made the double set of :marks.
as two sessions. And - uh - so - uh -
with that comment why that - uh -

uh - item 17 with a STA_DIKRD. Then we -
uh - pressed on from there and started
doing item 19. And it c_e off real well.
One thing I did notice was our temperature
setting on minus 4 for the XUV to gegin with
it was 4 and it was sometimes flipping
between 4 and 5. After I locked in and
started about the second step of 19 -
went to zero and decided it wouldn't be

The subject once again is T002-2,
star-to-Moon sightings, on Fomalhaut to the
limb of the Moon, which is the furthest
away from Fomalhaut. First thing we got
to do is give them a zero bias settings.
So we're going to set about to do that
right now. We'll do that on our old buddy
Fomalhaut. By the way, the temperature

257 14 35 ll PLT Change the diopter setting a little

bit, maybe.

PLT Okay let's make the diameters a

minus 0.75. Then a minus 1.25 for a
while to see if that works petter.

257 14 35 41 PLT Okay, zero bias settings are being done"

now and first one is 0.004.

257 i_ 36 13 PLT There's another one, 0.002, Fomalhaut

again being the subject o:_ our zero bias.

257 14 36 32 PLT Number 3 is 0.003. I don't like the diopter

setting. That's better. I cranked it
back up to a minus 1.25, as it turns out.
It's over there now for a four or five ...
Star seems to be - keep coming elongated.
M_es a difference where you put your e_e
on the reticle, too, I noticed. Ho_¢
round or oblong a star is. Your eye in
the eyepiece is _at I mean. The eye and
around the eyepiece - aoparently the star
sees it little bit.

257 14 37 37 PLT Yes, that's 05.0, and the fifth one is

coming up.

PLT And that is 0.00_. Can't be fooling around

without moving my eye a little bit. Sure
enough. I have my eye ri_t in the center
of the eyepiece, I get the - uh - sharnest,
most distinct image of the star. It appears
sort of round. Move my eye off to the
left, it becomes elongated in the left/right
direction. I move _y eye over to the
right, it tends to do the same thing, gets
an elongation in the left/right direction.
If I move it to the left it gets elongated
from i0 o'clock to 4 o'clock. I move it
to my - the right, it gets elongated from
8 o'clock till 2 o'clock. I move my eye up,
Dump Tape 257-05
Page 3 of 5

it gets elongated from 12 to 6. I move

my eye down, same deal, 12 to 6. And
I'm sure that the obtieal people can explain
that - uh - all .very readily. But it 's
a interesting little point - uh - for use -
future use of the sextant. Uh - I noticed
that before I compensated by adjusting the
diopters on occasion. Ms_rbe once, but -
uh - I never noticed it to be a function cf
my eye position in the eyepiece.

257 14 39 39 PLT I've always - uh - apparently had it pretty

well centered, because I've never - tth -
experienced that problem except upon infrequent
occasions.

.CREW ...

257 14 40 15 PLT (Laughter) Okay, we're cranking it about

50 degrees here. We're going to put Fomalhaut
on the - uh - limb of the _oon, which is the
furthest away from Fomalhaut. The near limb
is showing signs of terminator. And we'll put
the upper ontical path on the Moon; put beth

Fomalhaut.And if the Moon is still- Oh, ."
there it is. It's right over there. Sure
is. It's sure getting in the left side of

257 16 20 33 SPT Okay, this is the'SPT recording on .........

channel A. And what we're gonna do is
Just parallel the video track, parallel
on channel A which means it hsould be
recorded on a video track of - u_h -
the VTR. We're gonna have a little
demonstration of a couple items down here, and
- uh - this will give a repeast of
the voice track.

257 16 20 57 "SPT Okay, AI, could you turn 1_he VTR on please,
and - uh- just give me a call when
it's on? Thank you.

257 16 21 40 SPT Kqaat we'd like to do is demonstate the

performance of what's called a
Wilberfarce Pendulum. N_g this is
a Wilberforce named after the designer,
as I understand it, of this li_ttle device.
And what is contended to.do is the
following: it contended to oscillate
back and forth initially like this,
Just like any compressed spring would
oscillate, - uh - back on Earth, if
you should do it that way.. But then
in addition, there's Eunother little " .'
perculiarity. It has these masses at
each end_ and the osicllation back
and forth is intended to excite it -s
- uh - an oscillat{on like this, back and
forth along the long axis.. And so -
uh - before we launched in Skylab, we
were able to demonstrate that this little [_
pendulum in my hand would initially set
up an oscillation back and forth, and
then couple into an oscillation along
the axis the way I'm doing here.
It doesn't seem to want to behave quite
like that in zero-g, and so we will
examine a little bit just the way it
does behave. First of all, what I'll
try to do is to get it ceutered up here
 Dump Tape 257-06
Page2 of 28 ......... L ....

for you, and compress-the - the _tring

very slightly, and then relase it.
We'll just see what sort of oscillation
is set up. With this small oscillation,
even that was pretty good size. Let me
try it again. I may have to try those
oscillations several times inroder to get
a good one for demonstartion purposes.
Okay. Now, there's fairly small
oscillation back and forth. But you
very shortly ic ouples into another
kind of oscillation as well. Uh - one
that - uh - we never have observed
back on EArth, becaus_ of the gravitation_l
field. So I'll t_/ that one more tim.e
Now, this time i'll compress the sping
• Just a littelbit more fully,_o we'll
watch what happens when I releaseit.
I don't mean that the spring oscillates
back and forth, but it develops that
nodding oscillation as well, I don't
know whether call that a form of a
modern dance or perhaps it's a dnace
back in the 1920's. At any rate it's
not the sort of oscillation that we
observed back on Earth.

257 16 24 17 SPT Now I expect the reason that this isn't

observed on Earth is because the
gravitational field, tends - uh -
prevent this sort of nodding oscillations _!
back and forth. It danced that out,
so we just don't see this. _)

257 16 25 13 SPT There was a good example of one that

started out in a nearly longitudianl
oscillation, and after three or four
cycles, it coples into the nodding
motion. Now they can even become a
little more - uh - ereatic thatn these
we've observed so far. In addition, I
provide just a little hit of twist,
like about a half a rotation, to that
spring and then release it well. But
now it .is even more violent, the
oscillation is even more - uh - perplexing_
f-_ Dump Tape 257-06
Page3 of28 ....

257 16 26 hl SPT Let's go back and try just one small, slmole ---
one as best as we can. One other thing
we can do is to stabilize one end of
it. We just hold in our hand, one end
is comporessing the other. We can
get a little bit better cscillation,
if that's what we want, just like a
spring would od back on Earth. Maybe
that's now what we want, since this
looks pretty much like what we woul D
get at home. There is som@ tendency now
to couple a little bit into the axial
oscilation, where the - uh - wieght
on the end rotates. Now, I'll also
give it a little twist in addition
to that. You can see that the oscillations
are pretty nearly uncouples now. We're
getting the axial oscillations, as" well
as the longitudinal oscillations, more or
less independ@ntly of each other.

257 16 28 17 SPT Uh - you notice these little thumbscrews

on the end of each of these two plates,
then it tended to change the inertia ....
of the little end plates such that the
coupling is a maximum. Now, it's
possible that this - uh -that these
thumbscrews are not adjusted quite right.
But it's a - uh - very time consuming
job to get all of them adjusted Just the
right length ot maximize this coupling.
And it's quite possible then that I had,
- uh - should I have the time to - uh -
spend more time experimenting with this, :_
I could get that adjusted more closely
so that this axial and lcngitudinal
oscillations are more closely coupled.

257 16 29 13 SPT So the nodding is not as imparent when

l'm holding one end, as it is when
I'm holding - uh - as when both ends
are free floating. The reason for
that's not entirely clear to me e{ther.
Maybe Bob Parker can do a little work
.... Dump Tape 257-06
Page 4 of28 _

onit, figure out'why, on different ......

_......
boundary conditions, mainly one end
held or both ends frees the - uh -
form of the oscillation is - uh -
so much differeBt.

257 16 29 57 SPT All right, we'll stop this for no_ and -
uh - tether our freidn, the Wilburfoce
pendulum, back at the table with out
little piece of grey tape. Never get
along with our space program without
that grey tape. And I'd like to show
you one more thing heere, for a moment.
Uh - you'll re_ember that we took up a
number of fish eggs with us, _hat had
yet to be hatched at the time that _e
luanched. And se_erai weeks ago, -
• uh - wereported that - ih - we had the
first egg hatch. And we have a number
of small little Mummichog minnows on
board as a matter of fact. And I'll -
uh - show a few eggs that haven't been
hatched. There's an egg_ for example,
that's still got a fish inside, that
we expectmost any day now, - uh -
might he out swimming around. Last count
here _e had about 15 of these hatched.
I'll go find a couple more for you.

257 16 31 26- SPT There, you see them swimming around a bit.. -

CC Skylab, Houston; just i minute to LOS at

Carnarvon. Next station contact in
21 minutes ... _

SPT The size of my finger here give some idea

of the size of the minnow. Uh - these
little fish do not exhibit the same
sort of behavior pattern that the -
uh - larger little minnows - uh -
"did that were brought up initally. Uh -
We had the two larger minnows as well
as some 30 or 40 eggs. The two larger
minnows, when they got to zero-g,
and - uh - for the rest off their
lifetime of - uh - about [Bor h weeks
• _--_ Dump Tape 257-06
Page 5 of28

continually, very frequently,

exhibited their pattern of flying outside
loops. They would - uh - swim in
- uh - circles with a - _ - upper fin
outside of the circle. ]in other words,
sorting of pitching over towards their -
uh - nose and apparently sort of
compensating for the lack of gravity.
Whereas, these little fellows, after
hatching, I have never noticed them
to swim in those loops. They seem to have
benn born into zero-g and find it very
eomforatable. As a fact, this little
package that l've got.is so small
that - uh - I think we may very well
be able to find some little nook in
the Command module, to bring it hack
home in.

257 16 3B 24 SPT This is the close-up lens on our television

camera that I'm using. _md these little
eggs are only - uh - oh 2 or 3 millimeters
• in size, as perhaps you can tell by the
size of my finger. It isn't in very good
focus by you can tell how small with
respect to my thumb-fingernail. And
to get these little felows to move, I
think we may have to change the package
a little bit. Even then that doesn't
always distureb them. They're sure
d
to this sort of activity. There's a
little, little egg that should be
hatchinghere before long. _.

257 16 34 h3 SPT See those eyes in there. That's the fish

head that you can see right inside the -
uh - egg, and - uh - the two black dots
are the fish's eye with his back bone donw
the middle. As a matter of fact, there's
another little minnow right beside him
there that's already hatched. See the
similarity. Now there's a couple of
more eggs, down beheath these two
minnows, and again u uh - you can see
the - uh - two dark eyes, that are
tha eyes of the fish and sometimes you
/--_ Dump Tape 257-06 ......
Page 6 of 28

can see the tail. You can also see

uh p little portions of the circulation
system, frequently, inside the eggs
before they're hatch. The little
capsule in which the fish are located
is veryclear and you can normally
see right threw it. Welll, these
are the other lying fellows, along
with out spiders that we have
here In Skylab. And - uh - at the
moment, - uh - these littl@ fellows
take up so - uh - little rooms and I
think there's a good chance we'll be
able to - uh - bring them back home
with us in a few days when we
return to Earth.

257 16 36 43 SPT And that will he all for our television

show for this afternoon.

item 19 and we had a - _ - sort
of a - uh - eruptive prominenece,
not a prominence, but some sort of -
uh - surge on the - at limb of the

to this period and during this period,
here's what I did. At 56, I went a
12 minute of filter 3, a 13 minute,

ran out out time.

257 16 46 56 CDR I went back and took a look at 52 and

I did not see a thing, however I did

257 17 57 26 SPT Okay, this is the SPT on ehannei A with -

information to the S063 PIs; for
Wally Teague and Jack Lew. First, I
want to talk about the way the last run
went. I - uh - verified all switches,
everything a couple of times, and the
setup was exactly right, and the
procedures went exactly right. Uh - two
photos on each of the sites at all
the correct exposure times. Everything
was set on all those camera correctly.
Uh - the - uh-fram es remaining was UV
visible, repective!y. 7 and 43. Uh -
that was after taking two visible photos
just to make sure that the electronic
camera was working corrective, which
• " it was. N0_7 we took - uh - seven exposures
on the UV and - Let me see; I, 2, 3, 4, 5
on the visisble. That should have left
me with just zero. Uh - 38, I think,
let me doublecheck that _isihle. I, 2, -
No, we only should have taken four
. visihles; that's right. There were three
times and one single. SO that should
have left with 39 on the visible.

257 17 59 04 SPT And when I was through with the ops,

the UV had 3, not 0, and the visiblw
di_Ln't show 39. So when the visible
was not - on the UV camera was not driving
properly, I think for the first exposure
or two it did, but then I begano hear
that the winding mechanism did not quite
sound right. Although there was a click
and wind, it looked too short, so my
guess is it only wound about a half
a frame for - uh - the last - uh -
few frames. It might have been three
or four frames it only wound halfway.
Now that's my guess as to the
reason for - uh - ending up with three
on the end.
/_" Dump Tape 257-07
Page 2 of 3

Now when I took the camera out,

I've since gone over and put the lens
cap on, set it to about .-uh - a 60th
of a second arts single, and triggered the
motor merit - correction - yeah,
single -triggered the motor mechanism again,
and thfs time it drove. So it's possible
that is's driving from the - uh -
camera body, but it's not driving
from the timer_ I don't }mow. But after -
uh - one test there, it leave me sitting
on UV number - uh - 2 at this point.
I'llleave it there without driving any
further in case you want to try - uh
doing something _rith these last two exposures.

257 18-00 -21. SPT But - uh - I'm at a complete loss to

explaint - uh - why it. digm't drive
properly because I've - _dl - reverified
the setup twice at the beginning and
once at the end, and it's all checked
exactly right. So - uh -.you may ahve
• only - a half frame movement on the UV
camera for this last operation. Uh -
I'd like to get some word. up from
you as to what you - uh -. if you can guess
what the troub - problem might have been,
and - uh - what you want to do - uh -
as far as prceeding is concerned.

957 18 O0 50 SPT Now let me tell you - uh - answer some of

the information about window and filters.
The window's very clean. They _hole window
eontrains possibly one - it does contain
one small sm - smudge. Difficult to
find. It's perhaps the edge of a
fingerprint or - uh - the hand
or something like that. It's difficult
to detect it at all - one small smudge.
There are a few small specks across the
window. Very little - uh - dust,
so it's in very good shape. Uh - the
twin filters. I first checked the
UV and there are a few specks on the
filter - uh - looks like just little specks
j

m_ybe of water or something has fallen
on it. Very little dust, no prints,
and no pinholes that I could see by
holdin_ it LiD to the light. And the
same comments are true for the - uh -
visible twin filters. Sjpeeks, little
dust, no prints, no holes. On the
UV single 0 uh - filters - uh -
UV single - uh - filters, on small

would want to.

257 18 02 06 SPT Okay, that's the way it _nt _gain, this

257 19 17 23 SPT Excuse me. Uh - this is the SPT

on channel A with a mess_e for the
M172 Pls, including Dr. Bill Thornton.
Hello there, Big Bad Bill. Got more
numbers for you today them you'll
ever be able to add up. And - uh -
I'm Just gonna give them to you
anyway and hope they don'_t drown you
with numbers. This first set
corresponds to the B_._{Durine
calibration in accordance _ith
permanent genera& message number 031,
of which I presume you aa-e the
author, so here's what we did to
do that. We got the - iLh- empty
urine box vith the lid and the
UVN_S plate inserted in it and the
two C-clamps from the - ILh - too1
kit. Got those all mounted on
the front part of the bex and here
are the l0 munbers, excuse me,
5 numbers - uh - that came out of
your mass measurement with that
configuration.

257 19 18 30 SPT I'II g_ve you six digits and then

the remainder, only the 3.ast

three. 2.92398, 362,469_, 367,375.
That third n_mber was pretty far
out in - uh - left field. I think
it was probably an erroneous,
spurions reading. I'll give
you one more number in case you
want to insert it instead of that
spruous one. 398 was my sixth
reading in that config_aration.
Next, I added to the inside of the
- uh - urine box and then restuck
the lid on top of it, put the - uh -
plate on top of that, and reclamped
it to the front of the box. Jack's
urine bag for this morning, which
he - uh - claims contains" 1980,
milliliters of urine serial nt_mber
,)
315. Numbers are 3.0731_., 323,291,
323356. That" first number again
was 3.07312. Okay, then I added
my own - uh - urine gab, which
has in the vicinity of 1200 milliliters,
serial number 313. The mass now
comes to 3.19099, 123,166, 138,139.
And in the fourth sequence ! added
in Al's urine hag, which he believes
contains 820 milliliters of urnine,
serial number 774. Mass is 3.28397, hOl,
390, 411, 356. Then took - uh -
the urine bags out and - uh - have
the box and the lid and the plate,
C-el_mpswith the four masses i,
from the SMMD aiso under the
C-clamp. And I have the follo_ring
readings: 2.99604; 650, 632, 608,
621. Now, along about the end of
the third sequence, I did notice
one little thing that was still
• vibrating, and that is the C-clamp
has a little twist handle on the
end of it so you can get torque
on the drive screw. That little
metal finger was oscillating
back and forth slowly. --Uh -
"_ Dump Tape 257-08
Page

after the third sequence, I did

pull it to one end twi - tightly
so that it was sort of
wedged in and therefore didn't
oscillate back and forth. But,
aside from that, I didn't see any
other oscillations, and don't
know whether you can tell any
improvement in the scattered after
sequence number 3 or not..

257 19 21 22 SPT I didn'thave any time to go

back and reoeat the whole sequence

275 20 29 24 SPT This is the SPT on channei Awith-a message----

for - uh - Wally Teague, Jack Lew, and the
S063 PIs.

CC Skylab, this is Houston.

SPT Uh - the - uh - what I want to do is to

give a general summar_j of the sort of hand-
held auroral photograph that I have accomplished
in the last - uh - week or so. I've given
part of this to you - uh - on air-to-ground
but not a very complete s_tmary. Uh - back
on page 48, which was - ida - Fission day 40,
uh - we were using the inferior - uh - film;
CI!03 was the cassette n[Lmber. And - uh - had
about- I had about three frames taken near
19:55 Zulu on mission "ay 40. On the next day,
which would he day 40, 2h9, at about uh 7
frs_mes ... 03:05 to 03:10 Zulu.

257 20 30 35 SPT Those frame numbers are 35 through 42 and

I was using a 35-mil!imeter lens, now,
i- to 4-second exposure. Couple of
days later on 250 - day --day 251 - uh -
took photographs between 20:53 and 20:55
Zulu, frame numbers 55 to 59 and began - uh -
same sort of time exposure, i to 4 seconds.
On day 252, about 17:00, - uh - got about
three auroral photo scenes - _h - time
esposures. And so on CI]03, there's going to
be a - a few - a fair ntumber of auroral
photos. And then I - then we inserted Cll04.
That whole roll is going to be nearly all
aurora.

257 20 31 27 SPT On day 252, frames i to I0, exposed between

20:05 and 20:10. Frames ii to 21 were
exposed 21:35 to 45. Frame 22 was
exposed on day 253, 00:45. In other words,
" that same night. All of these were
i- to 4- seocnd exposures. And on day 254,
frames 23 to 25, about - well- there's a
little confklsion now on - on the - I think

against that one. Frames 24 and 25, abou_ ........

15:35 Zulu; 26 to 32, 17'.:06to 17:12 Zulu.
Frames 33 and 37, exposed 18:37 to 18:45
Zulu. Frames 38 to 45 were exposed between
21:49 and 21:55 Zulu. A_d on the next day
which would be - day 255_, hage 3-47, - uh -
I'm up to about frame 50 now, exposed
at 15:27. And frs_mes 51 to 56 were
exposed 17:58 to 18:04 Zulu.

257 20 33 08 SPT And I got a couple of fr_mes of the sunset,

19:05 to 19:08. This was after the Sun had
gone down. Let's see if that time checks.
Yes, it does check pretty well. And then
uh - at a place - auroa at 19:34 and.
19:35. I don't have h_re the frs__e number on
that. It would have been right after - uh -
oh, in the fifties. But the point I want to
make is l've got an awfu_ lot of auroral photo-
graphy, now - at this poAnt, presumably related
to that activity on th_ S_Aun about a week
ago. And most of it is on two cassettes,
CII03 and CII04.

257 20 33 58 SPT I've already sent a short note to Dick

Underwood to let him know that these tow
sets, in particular, wil l'
. need some special
handling in order to be developed - uh -
at least these frames developed, at their
maximum possible ASA. Because it is this slower
CI film which I underst_d can't be developed
further - uh -as if it were - or develo_
it in such a way that it will correspond
to a higher ASA rating.

257 20 34 28 SPT So, particularly, Wally, I wanted to alert

you to that and - uh - make sure you relste
any ground work that might be necessary
• to assure that - uh - these two cassettes
and any other with auroral photography gets
special handling. End of message relating
to auroral photography for the S063 Pls, Wally
Teague, and Jack Lew from the SPT.

257 20 35 05 SPT Uh - this is a message to Ed Gibson, Bill

Pogue, Jerry Carr. _d send also to Ed
Michel and John Rummel at the physeology
laboratory. Let's go there, fellows. It
shouldn't be too much longer now. Those
fellows are up there on the bicycle. And
that's what I wanted to mention to you,
briefly. Uh - you may of noticed that
we're putting out quite a few watt-minutes
on the ergometer. And, as a matter of fact,
we're putting them out at lower heart
grates than we were amonth and 6 weeks
ago. Uh - there are a couole of reasons for
that - for the - that - uh - several of them
I wanted to mention to you. First of alL,
there's a different way of riding the
bicycleup here than there is in one-G. And
parts of it you can bezin to per-practice
down there in one G. A1 Bead was the first
to discover this.

•257 20 36 03 SPT Of course, a professional bicyclist probably

would have known it all along. But ! guess
it's called angleing. And the idea is that
you apply a fair amount of a torque on the
upstroke in - in addition to the do_mstrokes. • .
I've never bicycled that way and the appropriate
muscles were probably never used. I don't
think they're used extensively in running,
or a least not as-extensively as in bicycling.
And - uh - you find up here that angling,
if that's the right word - at any rate, apply-
ing torque on the upstroke is a very big - uh -
improvement - uh - results in a big improvement
in your ability to pedal this ergometer.

257 20 36 44 SPT Now, I suggest that - uh - you be working

out on the bicycle at least 2 or 3 days a
week over there. And then, in addition -to just
putting out lot of watts. But you also get
in the habit of applying as much of the -toque
as possible on the upstroke. AI pointed it
out to me after a couple or three weeks, and
I ried it. Thought m_ legs - _ - couldn't
deliver very much work that way, but kept at it

i
 L

Dump Tape 257-09

Page 4 of9 _ L_

.... for the next c0uple of _eeks-and-fo_d .....

that those muscles do s_.ape up, and you can
begin to put out a fair amount of the
work with the "muscles that are required for
- uh - pedaling on the upstroke.

2"5720 37 2h SPT And the next thing I wanted to talk a little

bit about is the stability. You obviously
have to figure o_t _some way to counteract the
torque of the downstroke on the pedals.
And in my case - uh - l'm thinking for
Jack and AI - there are three ways that this is
done. The first on is pushing with you head.
And there is that - uh - nice duct on th-=
overhead. We put a couple of cushions bstween
our head and the - uh - overhead - _h - duct,
• and and this stabilizesyou pretty nicely.
Oh - the second way is by grasping those
handrails. They're a little bit low for me
and I sort of have to grab them with my
fingers, l've been meaming to raise them for
about a month now and I never have gotten
around to it. But that also will hold you.

257 20 38 05 SPT And in the third way - is by this angling

business. Now, ! can't - uh - deliver any ."
significant amount of work and counterbalance
it with just angling. In other words, I have
to assist with either _ hands on the bars
or my head, although I think AI can manage
to do it pretty nicely. You're not fastened
to an_rthing. So - uh - in mY case, I find that
I - uh - sort of arrest muscles by alterna-
ting between all three. I'ii - uh - angle for
a while until those muscles get tired. Then
I'ii grab the rail for a while. And usually
I'ii - uh - the whole tJlme l'm also contribu-
ting part of the counteracting forces by
using my head on the duet. So, I think you
may find that you also want to use, perhaps,
different combinations - all three of these
ways to help hold yourself on the bicycle.

257 20 39 05 SPT There's a final thing that I wanted to

mention - was l'm not so sure but what our
mechanical efficiency is imporving. And this
is something that either Ed ._lchel or Jolhn R_tmme
Dump Tape 257-09
Page 5 of9 _ ;

would have to answer more specifically by

looking at the data. We are delivering more
work, and we're also working at higher power
levels then we were 6 weeks ago. But I'm
not convinced_,that we're doing so with any
higher!_ consumption rate. In other words,
for the same power level, let's say, 15C or
200 watts, my guess is that we are delivering
- or consuming about tac ss-me amount of oxygen
or at the same eomsumption rat that we kave been
all along. And it's only our mechanical
efficiencythat is improving. _

257 20 39 52 SET Therefore, our heart ra-ze is going down. We're

finding the work easier, because we're
taking on the ideas like - tub - uh - hold
your head and - uh - uh - hold the hand2ebar.
I don't know that this last one isn't true -
is true, but I'ii want to think it more
carefully when I get b_ek with John and Ed.
And if you're interested, perhaps they can
give you some preliminary words now. So,
uh - I thought I would mention these ideas
to you early, so you might start getting in
a couple of months of extra practice,
particularly on the angling, and g_ve you " ."
a head start when you get up here. _@j
thoughts might also be of interest to
John Runnel and Ed Michel. So - uh - this
message goes to them as well as Ed GiBson,
Bill Pogue, Jerry Carr over in the astronaut
office.

items here a little bit. There's a couple
that are really beginniag to bug me. I
think l'm going to be able to force them down
for the rest of the flight here, but I'm
hoping that as soon as l'm on the ground
that some of these things could come out of

257 20 49 04 SPT Menu 5 - must of all been in menus 5 and 6.

I just finished going through those, but
it - uh - left a strong impression on my
mind on the last tim@, frankly through 5 _md 6.
Okay, on menu 5, this beef hash at break-
fast is pretty lousy stuff. And let's
uh - get rid of that beef hash that we get.
I really have to jst force it down at this
point. I'ii probably tell some of the
things that I like. These - uh - peas are
not that much to do with breakfast, but
uh - I like peas. Peache3 never did show
up in my menu and I like peaches. Those
can come in later. You can always add those
fruits if you want some more calories and
stuff. Let's see, it's been mainly to get
that beef hash off menu 5.

257 20 50 04 SPT And on menu 6, let's get :rid of that dried[

beef. It's all I can do to force that stuff
do%_, now. To be quite truthful, what it
tastes like up here is insecticide. I don't
know what they put in it, but it doesn't
taste like dried beef and it doesn't tastes
like jerky. It has a flavor to me to insect -
with an odor of that of insecticide. Now_
I don't think that has an]fthing to do with ....
t£% here, and I don't think there's really
anything wrong with it. But, boy_ it's sure
a lousy flavor as far as l'm concerned. ]in
fact, if you get any bright ideas on what I
can substitute for dried beef on the next time 6
through menu 6 about 4 or 5 days from now, l'd
DumpTape257-09
Page7 of9 .... ___

uh - appreciate hearing- about-it so I .....

wouldn't have to eat it up here anymore.
Now, the spaghetti, we substituted for the
pork loin. I'll manage to get that down
another time, next week, hut that's pretty
lousy meat in there.

257 20 50 59 SPT And - _h - I'd like to not have to fool

with the spaghetti when I get back. So - uh -
maybe you can be thinking about some other
alternative. As a matter of fact, if you can
give me steaks and prime rib every night,
that sutis me fine. I wish now l'd had almost
- maybe throw an occasional lobster in with
steak and prime rib - uh -- would just about
satis_g me as a permanent "supper main course.
So, let's see if we can get rid of that in the
evening on menu 6, along with the dried
beef. That's "really about all. I guess
there really weren't too many. I guess
there was only that dried beef and that
hash in the morning. And now there's
spaghetti. The sausage is not all that gcod,
but a lot of that is just zero-g effects
because the stuff flies _[i over the place. And
uh - so there are only a couple in there.
Probably should have mentioned it
earlier. If you can think of any way to
get rid of the drief beef and the hash by next
menu 5 and 6, let me know up here. But it's
no big deal. I can force it down, if you
don't find anything. And then when I get
back on the ground, why, hopefully, I won't [_
have to fool with it, if you'll substitute
something else.

257 20 52 08 SPT Okay, that's the end ofthe message to the

food nutrition perople, particularly those
three young ladies, form the SPT.

257 21 22 40 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack. I'm just

debriefing the last ATM run, which began
at 19:55. Had some ... time there, during
which time I went over to - uh - the
 Dump Tape 257-09
Page 8 of9 !

prominence at 120 degrees, and ---_-- did ......

the - uh - no, belay my last. Here's what
I did. I found out a bright - a birght
spline, in active region 19, which was right
on the limb. And it seems that this line
saw - uh - up into the region whihc normally
contains the spicules that you see between
the - uh - white light - develop the white
light limb. I found a bright region in there,
which was about parallel to the limb. And
I pointed 55 at it, maximized the
detector 3, ... grating all zeros at - and
it's got them around from 3 to 4000 counts.

257 21 23 52 PLT So, at that point I ran grating auto scan with
detercotrs i and 2. I also ran a 56 -
• •i, 3, 5 short, single.frs_e. It hung up in
i and 3. And I reinitiated both of them.
And then I also did a modified - uh - uh -
mirror auto raster. I put it in mirror line
scan and I ran down - uh - lines i through
20 by manually extending it. In each line,
• I let it run from zero up to 16 and back to
zero. So ther's two sweeps in each line, ....
from i to 20. Uh - after that I went ahes_
and did the J0P 6 on time. And I also - uJ_ -
did the TV down-liruk at 26. And I did the
JOP 6 at the end of the rev also. I had a
little extra time at the end and I went over
to active region 24. And I mirror line scanned
it - uh - at - uh - the brightest point
I could find, maximizing detectors at a
grating of 2926, where it had been left
from the previous JOP.

257 21 25 ii PLT Also noted at that point - uh - uh - and

at the points that I - uh - was pointing aL
previously - that to maximize detectors
I had to point the 11-Alpha across here to Dhe
left of the point, which was the brightest
in H-Alpha. Uh - also, I noted that -
uh - if I wre to point H-Alpha in the bright -
in the middle of the brightest area, I had
to set the mirror for 55 back to step - uh -
step 32. i
Dump Tape 257-09

i i

257 21 25 h8 PLT Now, therefore, my question was-_uh _-are ....

we really in the right mirror position by
using - uh - number 933. But - uh - that's
where l've left. That's whre it is now. I
just point this out for your observation. It
may be that - uh - H-Alpha bright points and
the - uh - uh - 55 brihgt - uh - points are
not a coincidence, although - uh - it may
be more than eoincedental that in both
of these cases I had to point the H-Alpha
to the left in order to maximize detectors
on the bright spot. So - uh - we're pro-
ceeding now with the 21:28 - uh - rev, and, -
uh - I'ii debrief that, in about an hour.

257 22 21 52 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on

channel A, debiefing this last ATM
run at - beginning at 21:28. I - uh -
did a little observing time there.
It's in your shopping list, item
number 17. And it was a roll at
minus 5400. And I did the 5-minute
standard on that one - and - uh -
also - uh - I did a full standard
on it and also gave it a mirror
auto raster. Uh - then I did all
af those J0P 2 Foxtrat that you
out - outlined there, running the
last one through s_uset sad - uh -
starting them pretty much on the
times that you'd requested in orger
. to spacethemout.

257 22 22 41 PLT Now - uh - JOP 2F calls for a active

i long for S056. Uh - since he
hadn't had one for a long time, I
decided l'd get him one. One time,
not that his - series of six. And
- uh - so I tried to do that and
- uh - I ran through - uh - uh -
two or three sequences of filters
sucessfully, until it hung - uh -
on a filter 5, and then I finally
terminated it. And - uh - shortly
thereafter, - uh - he told me to
turn 56 off and to operate it as
here your instructions -sh -
which would he coming up later today.

257 22 23 30 PLT So now it's - uh - shut down with

the camera airloek closed - the door
closed and the camera power off.
So - uh - other than that, the - uh -
S055 - uh - operation came off
just as you had hoped the5 it might.
And - uh - there's nothin_ more to
add to that. So - uh - we'll be

back with you again on tlhe next

rev. And that's the end of this
message.

257 22 23 58 PLT Thank you.

257 22 59 03 SPT SPT on channel A with information

on the M092/93 run on the commander,
AI. Commander AI had a left leg
circumference - left calf .of 12-3/4
inches, same as the last time he ran.
His right calf circumference was
13-1/8, also the s_me as the last time
he ran. And - uh - that's about
all there is to say about it.
Everything went - uh - ....- just like -
like - not quite like normal. In
fact, it was better than it has been
before. His .heart rate was lower,
probably even better th_ on the
ground-based run. So, it was the best
92 that he's had. And on the 93,
things went as scheduled, 300
watt-minutes was the - uJ_ - amount
of work put out in the 2-minute
intervals. And I think that's
all the information Mo92/93 needs.

257 22 59 5h SI°T SPT out.

257 23 I0 26 SPT Uh - this is the SPT with a message

- message to - tth - Dr .... Timothy
and Dr. George Withbroe in the ATM
science room. Say, I meant to
call this down a day or so ago,
but - uh - I - uh - left the So55
grating on 19hl, magnesium 10,
the other day , by doing an extinction
passage. I also left here at the
• same spot the next sunrise. You
might take a look at thai; one,
if you haven't already, because the
- uh - intensity on magnesium l0
extinguished much earlier at sunset
and also was very slow to - uh -
reappear at sunrise as compared to
•_ Dump Tape 257-10 ........................

most other lines.

257 23 ii 18 SPT NOw, l'm going strictly on the

basis of timeing. Whereast most
of the lines are usually
extinguished along about 45 to 59
seconds, on the time - remainig
clock, magnesium l0 extinguished
more like - uh - a minute 20 to
a minute 30, as I recall. Of
course, these n_mbers could be
in error, because I can't be
certain exactly what the navigation
hrogram _¢as doing and so on. But
I had the definite impression that
magnesium i0 was ahsorved at a
substantially higher alt:Stude than
- uh - owyg_en 6 which is the usal.
... observed in detector 3, grating
zero.

257 23 ii 58 SPT Now, I'm not aware that the - of

what the - uh - atomic oxygen
crosssectionis at - tub- the -
wavelength of magnesium "[0. But
perhaps it is larg. Oh - it _ight be
• worth taking a look at, however,
- uh - in the last week or so we have.
And - uh - I would appreciate
letting me know whether or not there
is anything unusual abouT, the

as probably atomic oxygen cross
section is concerned.

And over Paul, and Herb, and Larry, - uh -
we've been giving you books from time to
time and if you've been following the
mission you've probably found that there's
been a lot of people 0ump on the visual
observation bandwagon in the last month
or two. Our EREP people, in particularly_
have been doing a particularly fine Job
of keepin_ us informed of - uh - places for
interesting photography mud scheduling
things for us. But in addition to that the
books that you've prepared have provided
us with a good deal of additional back-
gorund and - uh - provides us with early
thinking opportunities. As a matter of fact,
I have the book out in my hand right now,
and that's the main point of my conversation.

Uh - Larry, in particular, I'm looking at

the twilight - uh - color photographs - uh -
that - uh - you have ... on page Delta,
Delta 2. And you've asked us to look for
the white .... Well, I don't believe that
quite clear as normal - as it - uh -
was earlier thought to be. Because, as a
matter of fact, we can see it at almost
any sunset or sunrise. Uh - let me just
describe a little hit one sunrise which
I tried to sketch out a little bit on a sheet
of paper here. Uh - it happened to be on
MISH day h7 that 's 8 ... that 'd be about
h days ago. It was a sunset observed at
19:05 to 19:08 ZULU. Now, as the sun Just
dips below the horizon_ - the color of the
sky it ... to be to "the horizon, was
of oeurse, reddish. Above that ft was
orange. And occasionally, above the orange
flare I can "see a faint greenish color.
"_ Although,while I'm mentioning that, I
should note that l've never seen the green
flash, although l've looked for it man#
times. As far as I know there is no green
flash visible from high-altitude Spacecraft.
But there was, nevertheless, a faint greenish
flare there that was visible. Now, u_h -
a little - uh - time prior to this, before
the light got too dim, above the orange, and
occasional greenish flare, it turned white.
And then, above that, it turned blue, and
then above that it was again white. But
then, they've gone out into the blackness
that we - of the sky. Now, I have also a
sunrise noted on that same day. Now the
sunrise, before the sun broke, middle of the
Earth, was red and then orange, and above
that was white. And then the blue
layer. And then a whitish layer above
• that. And then black. I don't seem to
have it on this sheet of paper. But at
many times I felt as many as 3 or h of
these white-blue transitions above the
first transition from boaring into white.
And so these fans ... , as near as I can tell,
it's most all of those are. And they look
f_ very much like that photographs that you

258 12 02 25 CDR This is CDR debriefing - uh - the last run that

" •
I made last evening, which was 00:30. I was
unable to do it - debrief at the moment, because
SO19 was in pragress, and then I went to bed
early and did not get it done, although I
realized that I did not. Uh - uh - JOP - uh - 6,
step l, came off - uh - as planned with one
exception. I erred and shot the 82A exposure
LONG, first frame, before effective sunset - uh -
sunrise, so I had to go back and shoot it again
after I shot the SHORT, so I goofed up there and
I - uh - I'll attempt to do better, is all I can
say. Oh - that was the point where it was
mentioned that there might be a full frame used...
radio burst. I -uh - powered up 52 after the -
uh - by the way, at that point I was also soing
52 in uh - NOPJ4AL, in - STANDARD, and - uh - so
I - ul_ - immediately looked at 52 when the stan-
dard ran out.

258 12 03 24 CDR Thought I could see the remnants of a - uh - uh -

distortion in the corona at about 5 o'clock at
_- this point which was the p6int you mentioned-
5 o'clock was the roll I had in, which would
be - uh - the northwest limb normally. Although
it was nearing the uh , it looked like to me .
like a-the lower half of - uh - u_h - of the
bubbles we see. With the top of the bubble
right at the edge of the scope so it was sort of
impossible, so I went'back _nd did - uh - extended
standard twice, and uh - that was - uh - end
of the pass. Everything went well, I thought,
with the exception of - uh - uh - that X-ray
frame. In fact, I thought the noise of the comm
this morning that Bob woke us up with, his ...
call and the lights was the 8th grade experimenter
who'd finally discovered that we'd shot an extra
frame, anyhow.

258 13 47 42 PLT Okay, space fans, this is Jack on

channel A, debriefing the AT_ run
which began at 13:01. At the be-
F ginningof the pass - uh - I went
back to pick up somethingfrom the
rev prior, which was the - _ -
13 minute step, JOP 15D on coronal
hole 3 and - uh - so I went back and
got that before I - uh - proceeded
on with - uh - this rev. Then I
went and did JOP 6, building block i,
A and B, and did JOP 15B and
coronal hole 4 and - uh - and the
J0P 15D on - uh - coronal hole i we
got them all done as you you requested,
and we got them all done before
effective sunset, so the - uh - ATM
JOP schedule for the first two revs
is up to date and we'll be uh - standing

the box, the lid, the measuring - uh

plate, two C-cl_nps, and 8 inches of
gray tape.

258 13 49 29 aPT And the 8 inches of gray tape - uh -

was used to secure the - uh - uh -
top volume measuring rods in place.
All were fixed together, essentially
the same things that we measured with -
uh - yesterday, except for the tape, comes
the followiug_ 2.92395, 370, 397,
391, 384. _ next add is Owen's
urine bag plus 3 inches extra of gray
tape, my volume was estLmated at 1470,
1470 net milliloters, serial n_mber 330.
Got the ±o±lo_±n_
...... 5 numbers', 3.06192,
180, 133, 186, 184. Now you'll note
the third number is pretty far out in
the ball park as compared to the rest -
it's substantially further than a - sigma.
So I give yon - I'ii give you a sixth read-
ing, if you want it to use it. 3.06186,
there'smy number6 readingif you want
to use that.

258 13 50 35 SPr Next I added Jack's - uh - urine bag, plus

another 3 inches of gray tape. He estimates
the volume at 1600 milliliters
serial number 272. I obtained 3.19835,
864, 872, 840, 828. I next add Al's urine
bag, he estimates 1750, 1750 milliliters,
serial number 295. 3.22hli, 508, 575,
561, 480, and - uh - I'ii give you a sixth
one here, 3.22598, if you want to use that.
Okay, on - uh - next, I took all of the
urine bags out, and - uh - next went the
box, the lid, the plates, two C-clamps,
same original8 inches of gray tape and
the ... cal manual, like I had it yesterday.
Then I take 2.99646, 639, 627, 644, 646.
It looked like pretty good measurements to
me.

258 13 51 50 SPT Now, one other co_nent, Bill. I thought

yesterday was going to be the last time
we did this, apparently you wanted to do
it again. I was gonna make co_ument
r Dump Tape 258-05
Page 4 of 4

yesterday. I don't think we ought

to asked to add three urine bags to all
that - uh - box. We're overfilling the
box. For example on the - uh - third se-
quence - fourth sequence there, after
adding Al's urine bag I could not stuff
all three of those inside that box. So
we had about - uh - 3 inches - uh - of
his urine bag still hanging out the end,
and - uh - I don't think that that - uh -
fourth sequence is therefore as good as
the rest. I - Unless you really like the
ntunbers I'd like to discard it. t_ - also
I would not ask to - uh - anyone else
to cram three urine bags into that box.
I think you're running a danger of waroin_
that urine box out" of shape; that's sSrt
of bad news if that should happen and -
uh - uh - I think it's just - uh -
forcing it too hard to do all that stuff -
uh - to cram it all in. I shoulda mentioned
that yesterday and to mention it today
cause I don'tthinkyou ought to ask for
that - uh - another time. Okay, Bill,
those numbers look pretty good to me and
I hope they're satisfied- uh - that .
it meets your satisfaction. End of

CDR Maybe this thing's not supposed to go very

far - uh - and - uh - roll - uh -, Bruce. It's
got kind of a two phased motion. Let me describe
it to you again. First, it - let's assume we
start some_There. Eight? Not starting in the
. center; starting with it pin "- pointed to the
right. It pitches up and then back to where
it was. Then it kind of moves to the right
slowly, and then, right at the end of the motion
which is about l0 degrees. It's hard to tell
from here. It pitches uo and sort of swings
•. then back to where it started the first time.
So it's a pitch up and down, then it moves slowly
to the right and then up and over back to the
starting point. And then up- down then over
the right slowly_ and up __nd around to the
starting point. And I'll give you 9 mark when
it reaches the starting point each time so you get
the circle,

CC ... CDR, Houston.

CDR Yep.

CC By up ,and around, do you mean that it's now

moving to the left?

F
 Tape 258-07
"_ Page 13 of 18

CDR Yeah. Well it's always to the right. But

it then move back moves back to it's starting
position. It's totaled roll travel, I - it's
gonna to be hard to get from here. You're look-
ing at a Ikmny angle is 3 degrees or 5 degrees
or something like that. It doesn't go back and
forth like I visualized it would. It.never
comes passed the center line and it always seems
to work in awfully small circles but it could be
a raised circle on the ground, of course.

258 18 14 59 CC But would you say that the angle, when it

changes it's pitch, is about i/3 of the angle
through which it moves in rolls or some
other ratio?

258 18 15 "08 CDR It's a good question. I"would say that in

roll it moves a little bit left when it does
it's pitch. Pitch my guess would be - uh -
4 to 5 degree; and roll, _j guess would be
now that you mention it - something less
than that. But you can't tell from this angle,
/ Bruce. You're not getting - uh - you're
no one of the axes. You're sort of looking
at - uh - off to the corner and - and it's
all - uh - covered with - uh - insulated
material and you can't see the gimbals too
well so it's tough to separate one from the
other. But it's always to the right of where
the stows position is which I assume must
be the center.

258 18 15 51 CC Roger. We got a keyhole coming up here. We'll

be back in a minute.

CC Okay. Now I thfnk the keyhole's gonna affect

greatly here. We seem to be hanging in
anyway. The thing should be moving through
the total roll angle of about 23-1/2 degrees.

CDR Not even close.

CC And the pitch angle ought to be on the order of

a degree or two.

258 18 16 48" CDR That's about right. They're both operating on

a degree then. That would be my guess. It's
hard to tell.

CC And how about the commenting once again on

the INTRACK CONTIGUOUS. Want to copied that
it moves oUr fairly r_oidly and bounces off the
stop and then sweeps iown properly.

258 18 17 Oh CDR It moves out, bounces against the stop, hard;

comes back to the cent@r and pauses, then
it moves abruptly towards the back. It
bounces off it less r uh - less hard. But
still,it isn't the kind of thing you'd
- it isn't like any tracking antenna I've
ever seen operate• It looks like the parts .
would wear out. But maybe this is Just different.

CC I expect you'd be hard press to design one that

woulddo the Job.

CDR That's right and I'll tell you it shakes the

- uh - truss that it's mounted on. You - _Jhen
it hits stop either way it shakes the insula-
tion and the truss itself. So it's giving them
a pretty good zap.

ATM pass that finished about - tub -
20:05. Okay, the first part of the
pass went as - uh - sche_iuled on the -
uh - uh - ATM schedule. Uh - there
was a bit of a hangup on.S054. Uh -
it didn't accept a couple of start
commands. Uh - it may have run on
through for two sequences once. I'm
not certain. I think I also missed
a 256 exposure on FILTER 4, which I ...
64 but aside from - uh - those problems
with 5h, it went as scheduled. And
the observing time I - uh - first took
a look at a - uh - what appears to
be a - uh - what appears to be a - uh -
. . an emerging flux region slightl_
northwest of Sun center. I'd say it's
about 060 - uh - .3 and there is a
very slight - a very small - uh -
H-alpha signature and - uh - finding
a brighter spot - uh - both - uh -
f . XUV and in - uh - H-Alpha, Did a
partial GRATING, AUTO SCArf and a
MIRROR AUTO RASTER. Then went on up
to our bright point up toward a
coronal hole in the - uh - northeastern -
uh - uh - quadrant of the Sun and -
uh - only had time to do a partial -
uh - MIRROR AUTO RASTER, sort of like
a mini - MAR - uh - on that bright point.
And then I slid over to a - uh - bright
plage on the east limb for the last couple
of mlnutes of the orbit and - uh - remained
in MIRROR LINE scan for J0P 7 information.

a few revs ago _nd I'm not sure that
I debriefed it. And, if so, I'll
Just - uh - go ahead and debrief it
again; and - uh - and you can throw
it away if you already got it. It -

coronal hole studies on - uh - coronal

did the coronal hole 3 with your

258 23 25 36 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on channel

A debriefing the last ATM run which
began at 22 - let me start again. It
started at 22:20. We started out by going
to Sun center and doing the shopping
list item number 17 with FAST SCANS for
h3 seconds, precisely, and - uh - looking
at the corona some. I even drew a picture
of it. Let me talk about now I guess I
haven't drawn one for a day and a half.
.So - uh - and it really doesn't look like
there's a whole lot or particularly now
well defined than in the past. We've got
lot's of action on the east limb and
about the same amount on the west. Some
of the streamers have change - changed
shapy and there's a little more en/_ancement
there and a little less here; but, by and
F large,we don'thave a - a lot of extrato
 Dump Tape 258-09
_ Page B of 3

report. Looks like there's one extra -

or additional streamer on the east limb
than there - right at 270 than there was -
rath - rather _"_' s disappeared. I'm holding
these two transparent things up together,
and one of 'em's disappeared at 270, but
it's given way to lots of other - uh -
enhancement which stretches out to - uh - ...
So nothing unusual - no different ro report
on that.

258 23 27 08 PLT I got FILTER 3 and FILTER 4, LONG. For

S056 for 16 seconds exactly in both cases.
And - yeah, you reported that there might
have been something going on in the corona
about midway through the revolution, so what
I did was to - uh- throw another _3_second
FAST SCAN in there and gaze at the corona
for - uh - i0 to 15 minutes, looking away
for a while then looking back to see if
anything was changing, but I couldn't detect
anything that was changing, nor could I,
throughout the whole rev, _etect any dis-
continiuties in the corona, any un_sually
bright spots with - uh - with demarcation
lines or holes where th bright was separated
form the dark with any kind of demarcation.
So I didn't see anything unusual in the
corona. Although, at the end of the orbit,
just before effective sunset, I did again
take another 43 second FAST SCAN just for
good measure. So - uh - that kind a wraps
up the debriefing for this rev, and we'll
be back in another half hour or so.

think I know why I had that high
PERCENT WATER - uh - when I was - mh -
uh - measuring CABIN AIR. Vn - this
was the - uh - 171-3, and - uh - ... to
see if my time count stopped, I skipped
over that step to store CABIN AIR. Two
things to be done there. The CABIN
AIR S_°LE valve open and the MODE SELECT
to CABIN AIR. And also the EXHALED
Sk_-_°LEvalve closed. And so - uh - I "
apparently Just took a sample of the
exhaled air, which naturally had a high
water vapor - uh - content instead of
the CABIN AIR. I have already turned
the _ off and everything at this point,
so I assume that - _h- you can get along
with that - uh - _ithout that doublecheck
of CABIN AIR percentages since it seems
very unlikely that they're gonna change,
as they've always been all the s_e. And -
p uh - you might even be interestedin that
exhaled sample, but I doubt it. knyway,
I don't think that's any big com_.otion I'm
sure you _ill agree. And - uh - the MA
has been put in STANDBY at this point.
But that does exolain - uh - why we had
the high numbers for the PERCENT WATER.

briefingthe last ATN run and the first one up .,
today,whichbegan at 10:47. I - uh - did the :
J0P 8 - uln- J0P - uh - 6, step 2, building block 2, _
-. at Sun center. And - uh - then went on to the
available time and took the - uh - and what looked
like to me to be a good area at the - uh - at the
south pole using - using XUV monitor to find a
coronal hole. And I - uh - did the - uh - plus
or minus the - uh - 30 arc seconds occluded for 5
minutes _nd 520 seconds on the XUV wave SHORT.
And then 1 picked an area fairly northerly of that,
where there was - uh - an obvious quiet area, hut
uh - not a coronal hole. Using the XUV monitor,
I - uh - repeated the - uh - same procedures. I
looked out over the Sun center, did the - uh -
JOP 7, building block - uh - 15, and - uh -
that came off normally, too.

259 ii h2 47 PLT Now - uh - we've had one problem that's been piling
up this morning, and - uh - that is with H-alpha 2.
When I put the power on - uh - H-alpha 2, I saw
the - uh - H-alpha 2 - uh - Sun sort of - uh -
go off and on, I guess you might say. It appeared
to me that it was - uh - falling in and out within
the time that - uh - uh - it was on the scope. It
either appeared to be pulling in and out or going
off and on or both at the same time. Uh - the
door was open, of course. And - uh - the - uh -
the - uh - gray talkback was showing and for all
uh - intents and purposes, everything else appeared
to be all right. Uh - I checked monitor 2 to
make sure that it was - uh - not the monitor. And
sure enough it wasn't, when I put it in the other
display on monitor 22 it worked normally. Uh -
I turned H-alpha 2 off for - uh - most of the or-
bit, and - uh - later on I tried to turn it on to
_l - see if we had - uh - perhaps the problem had
gone away or it had solved itself, or - uh - some-
thing was back in sync and there was no longer a
problem, but - uh - this time I did not get any
H-alpha 2 at all, - uh - nothing showed up on the
scope and - uh - with the H-alpha 2 power on, I
wasn't able to - uh - get anything at all. So I
 Dump Tape 259-03
_f-- Page 2 of 2

turned H-alpha 2 power off, and that's where it is

nov. So - uh - that's the problem that needs ....
trouble shooting and I certainly hope that it's
something for us to - or we'll see a decrease in
our capability for the rest of the mission. ....

259 ii 4h 29 PLT And that's the end of the message. Out.

259 Ii hh 50 PLT Uh - one - one observation I'd like to make on

uh - the ATM debriefing is that - uh - looking at
the XUV monitor - XUIV monitor, I noticed the - uh -
uh - bright area, the bright point of - uh - well,
it could be a larger size than - uh - than a mere
bright point, although not as big as a plage area.
It developed at about - uh - 080 about - uh - 0.4
of a radius, I would guess, something like that.
I was not able to - I Just did not have time to go
back and - uh - look at that point in H-alpha,
but - uh - uh - it's a little bright area that
uh - seems to be developing in the XUV which is
uh - I did not notice yesterday. And also noticed
a little bright point that - uh - had about 250 at
about 0.3 of a radius - uh - that point smaller
uh - and had more of the characteristics of what
we'd call a - a - a bright point. Uh - the one
that I mentioned earlier at - uh - 070 is - uh -
more of a bright area than it is a bright point,
although it has not reached th size of - uh - what
we'd say is a plage area on XUV.

right. 0kay, thank you.

259 13 24 05 SPT What we're wanting to do now

is to demonstrate some of the
flexibility of our television
system and how it might help
us in medical diagnosis. Now,
of course, we - uh - don't
always have a trained physician
onboard. For example, the way
the - uh - present Skylah mission
uh is lined up, all of our
physicians are on the ground.
And yet it's possible, although we
haven't had any trouble on this
flight it's possible that we might have
the trouble uh requiring the
professional services of a physician.
And one of the things that we
might want to do is examine eyes.

259 13 24 36 SPT Uh - the one that we are about to

look at here is some of the ways
that we can work together on the
_'_ Dump Tape 259-04

spacecraft with our physicians

and - uh - uh - on the ground
in a more accurate diagnosi_ than one
of us could ma_q_e alone up here. Uh -
at the moment we're looking with out closeup
lens at Jack's eyeball. And I'm
going zoom in a little bit and give us
a little closer look at some of the
things that we can see,

unit on the spacecraft and I
expect that you'll be able to
see it j_st as well as this on
the ground - uh - also.
Now obviously we can examine the - dh -
exterior of the eye w_th rather
fine detail. The congent timer
coming up to the uh colored
portion of the eyeball "there is uh
clearly visible_ the flecks in the

dilated now_ but if we should
have any question about the extent
of the dilation the - uh - trained
physicians on the groin%d - uh -
could examine it more closely and
give us advice as to whether or not
they thought anything _ight he wrong.

259 13 25 55 SPT Uh - conjunctivitis is - uh -

a fairly common problem that is
sometime encountered and the - uh -
trained personnel on the ground
could see more acdurately than we - uh -
whether or not any of the little areas
of - uh uh - bloodshot un streaks uh
are related to - uh - conjunctivitis
or some other problem_ perhaps.

you shut your eyes for a moment

and we'll see if this will tend to
dilate the pupil a little bit.
When we open it up we'll see if
it's any - uh - smaller or any
larger when - when the eyes are
opened, okay?

259 13 26 36 SPT Okay, there might have been a

slight increase - uh - during the
brief interval that he had his eyes
closed and - uh - this is - uh -
uh - one way in which we can
con_nunicate with thepeople on
the ground. Of course, we're in
daily contact anyway with our
• crew physicia,Dr, Paul Buchanan
has been a real help to us
and I - we believe he's - uh -
responsible for - uh - helping
us maintain the good health that
we've been in for the last 7 weeks.
And if we should have had a more
serious problem related - uh -
to an eye or other area, why he
would have been the first man
to know about it and - uh - could
have provided us with the advice
and assistance - uh - necessary to
correct that problem.

259 13 27 17 SPT Okay, let's see if we can get a

uh - look at an ear now. Okay, move
forward just a little. Okay,
position now. Okay, _ - pitch
down with your head just a little
bit - that's right, and - uh - okay, that's
just right. Now we're looking at Jack's
right ear. There are also problems
that - uh - can occur in the area
of - uh - ear difficulties - tLh -
related to - uh - uh - perhaps
the changes of pressure that - uh -
we undergo - uh - both during
ascent and descent from the Earth
up to the spacecraft altitude.
/_'-_ Dump Tape 259-04
Page h of 5

Our space craft is fine,

but it's only 5 psi, that's about
one-third the atmospheric pressure
that you folks have at ground level.
In addition to that, we have
changes of pressure that occur
every time we go EVA -
outside the spacecraft - when
we go out in our pressure suits
we drop from about - about
5 to only 3-1/2 psi. And the
composition of the atmosphere also
changes from time to time. And
so there are some ear problems that
could be associated - uh - with
these changes.

259 13 28 45 SPT And if there should be - uh -

any sort of - uh - a swelling
of the ear or a redness or - uh -
other difficulties, we could
bring these - uh - pictures to the
ground and not only get the advice
of Dr. Buchanan_ but other specialists
in these areas as well. For example,
Dr. Warshaw [?], we have worked
with on a number of occasions uh -
in Houston and I'm sure he would he
immediately available to - uh -
discuss our personal situations
relative to the area of his speciality.
And - uh - having wo_[ed with Dr.
Warshaw [?], we - uh - are very
familiar with his - _ -uh - with
his - uh - high level of confidence,
and we have a great deal of confidence
in his ability to advise us and would
be very comfortable - uh -
working with him, if we should have
a problem in the - uh - area of the,
for example, the ear or throat, and
so on. And Dr. Buchanan would - uh -
uh - serve as an intermediary here
and - uh - help keep us in a top
physical condition.

to - uh - display these pictures and get
the advice of a trained physician
on the grotuud as to whether or not or
the redness was - uh - associated
with the one particular - uh - diffi-
culty or another. And while we are
looking at the mouth, we've obviously
got a pretty good view of the teeth,
in case we should have had a chipped
tooth. We'd of been able to - uh -
talk directly with Dr. Froley [?] at - uh -

as to what sort of - uh - uh -

259 13 37 h3 SPT Okay, this is the end of the recording

on channel A also. And - uh - it should
be sent to the PAO personnel, including -
uh - Fred Koos - uh - for correllation
with the - uh - VTR, the Video Tape
Recorder. SPT out.

259 13 53 3h CDR Okay. One of the things that we had

in our entertainment kit, when we got
here, was a set of darts. Now these
darts were regular Earth darts, notice
the fins, the body, with one exception.
Instead of having a needle at the point,
we've had some Velcro, which as you
know - uh - comes in two parts. One
part that has come small - uh - uh - tread -
like hooks on it, which put on the front
of the dart. The other part which has
a cloth-like pile on it, similar to a
tow which we put on the target. When
the dart strikes the target, the hooks
engage the pile and it sticks. Okay.
We put up our target, got ready for a
r little dart throwingpracticeon our
days off, and this is what happened.
First of all, we found that the dart
tumbled just as it's doing right now,
and we found that without gravity we
tended to throw high. Let's try it
again. See what was coming at the end
of that line. Where did it go? Okay.
All right, let me get it. All right.
Okeydoke. So the two problems we
encountered were one, throwing too
high and the other is tumbling the
dart. Well, we could easily master the
problem of throwing too high simply
by throwing right at the target without
allowing for any gravity drop. But
the tart still tumbler - tumbled. So
we designed two new additional new darts,
right here. One way sort of slightly
improved thin area and the other was greatly
improved. Let's see how they work. Okay.
 Dump Tape 259-05
Page 2 of 25

259 13 55 51 CDR Ah. It didn't stick too well. It

seemed to have pretty good stability
but Just didn't stick. Then a miss.
As you can see, one of the advantages
in throwing darts uo here is when you
miss oft times they come back, right
too you. Don't have to go get them.
Another miss. So inorder to increase
the accuracy we tried a couple of other
things. There's the dart down there.
We started throwing down the slowing
of the dart. Something you can't do
on Earth. Too high again. Here it
comes back though. Okay let's try a
lower one. Let's throw real slow. There
we go; still a miss.

259 13 57 22 CDR Try it now; another slow one. Throw

a nice slow one here. Looks like a
good one; good stick too. We'll try
all three of them again in slow flight.
We'll try all three in slow flight.
First the original design. Notice
the tumble. Stuck on the side. Here's
the medium fin. Ah - missed the target.
Here it comes back. Another try.

259 l_ 03 34 PLT Okay space fans, this is Jack on channel

A. The subject this morning is M487-2 Delta;
two debriefing. Question number - uh -
I think this information over to - uh -
Bob Bond in the program office.
Question number l: How effective are the
various tools used thus far; in particular
which are poor suited for use in zero-g?
Did you find that you needed any tools
other than those provided in the kit?
The tools we've used - uh - thus far
have been effictive in doing the Job.
By and large, I think the kind of tools
we need are about the same kind you
use on the ground. I don't think we
need any fancy tools that - uh -
particularly - uh - are suited only
to zero-g. Uh, in other words, we don't

P
 Dump Tape 259-05
Page 3 of 25

need reaction work tools and that _,

kind of thing. All you need to do
is stabilize yourself somewhere and, / _ .
its Just like standing down on the
ground.

259 lh 0h 25 PLT At the moment I can't think of any _ '-

tool which is particularly poorly ""
suited for the use of zero-g or any
pat - or any tool that's poorly '
suited for use on the ground will
also be poorly suited for use up
here. Same kind of tools on the
ground are useful up here. Did you
find any tools that we needed? I
think I mentioned once before that -
uh - there have been times when we
wished we had a hacksaw. And other
times when we wished we had some kind
of a drill, perhaps a hand drill.
Uh - so those would have been useful items.

259 14 04 56 PLT By and large, any - uh - kind of tool

that you'll find usefulon Earth,will
be the kind you find useful here. And
the hacksaws and the drills are among
those tools which, at my house, I
consider useful. Uh - the complement
wrenches, - uh - sockets and - uh - pliers
and - uh - those kind of things. Uh -
there should be as much a variety as
you'd have in a - uh - a fairly well
stocked tool bench at home. And -
uh - we gone need as - uh - many -
uh - specialized tools as you would
have in a machine shop, but certainly -
uh - uh - this is - uh - a place where
you would want to have it even more
well stocked perhaps with of variety
of tools than you would in your own
home.

259 14 05 35 PLT But still, you'd want to have pretty

much the same kind of tool. Uh -
number 2: What postural adjustments to

F
 Dump Tape 259-05
f
page _ of 25

accommodate task performance in zero-g?

Uh - really none. A1 the - uh - all
you had to do was get yourself stabilized
somewhere_ hook your foot in the grids
or _rrap your legs around something. I
have know that - uh - and - uh - working
with things that are small - uh - and
working with the hands, that if I
can - uh - uh - put my hands close
together to work on the object; that
is, if I have to pull something loose
or turn a hard valve, if I use one
hand to - uh - pull or turn, and the
other hand is right next to it, - uh -
_rith opposing - uh - reaction, that
my body doesn't twist around and - uh -
that stands to reason.

258 14 06 29 PLT However, if you - uh - turn a

valve - uh - with one hand and you
have the other hand - uh - stabilizing
yourself - uh - 3 feet away, why - uh -
you're gonna rotate or more. So -
j- uh - if you work - uh - on something
that requires force - uh - with your
hands, if you don't have any foot
stabilization, the best thing is to
try to get the other hand located as
close as possible to the hand that is
doing the work, so that you'll have -
uh - small movement arms - uh - to
counteract.

259 lh 07 00 PLT What major muscle groups? Uh - up here

you use mostly your arms and shoulders.
And the legs get the exercise on the
on the bicycle and that's about it.
Uh - you really got a pull on something
or tug on something, why - uh - you're
legs can get into the act if they have
a place to be stabilized, but uh
primarily your arms, shoulders, and
hands. Very little back work, very little
leg - leg work. Uh - design recommendation
for future vehicles based upon these

P

consideration. Well, the only one

is to make sure there's plenty of
places to put your feet to 8nchor
yourself solidly to the deck or
to the wall or wherever you need to
do your work. Foot restraints are -
uh - the best kind. And - uh - to
also have handholds in all the areas
where - uh - you're going to do
the most work with your hands.

259 14 07 51 PLT Question 3: Handling large masses

was for less difficult than handling
most little items of relatively small
mass. Yes, - uh - when you have - uh -
it's not difficult to handle one or
two small items; - uh - but if you
have many, many small items, it is
difficult to handle them because uh
they all want to float in their own
different direction and all you got
to do is blow on them or - uh - or -
uh - let them bumb each other and
touch something and - uh - they want
to get off. You spend all your
time - uh - grabbing things to keep
from getting away. Handling - uh -
large items is a very easy. Uh it's a
pleasure to - uh - handle large items
up here. In fact, it's fun to move
these big articles around that are
so tough to move on the ground. Uh -
they don't tend to get away.

259 14 08 46 PLT Uh - the bigger it is the more slowly

you'll want to go, but - uh - I've never
had a time when I felt like - uh - the
object I was holding was getting away.
The - uh - probably the biggest item
we used - we moved, other than - uh -
than - uh - say - uh - the pilot on
the T020 with his suit on, is the uh
largest inam - antimate object is
probably the - uh - the - uh -
filter and it's cover over the waste
 Dump Tape 259-05

management vent. And it's - uh - very

simple to move. You Just - tth- pick
it up and startmoving it. (Laughter)
and there's nothin_ more to say. It's _-_ = k
a pleasure to do it. When the T027
was here, before we had to jettison in
it to T07-S073, - uh - it required two
men and - u_h - the recommendation was
that we we 2 men to move it up here
and also on - on 1-S183, but it's not
necessary.

259 14 09 39 PLT Uh - you Just get those items and you

move'em slowly and - uh - point them
rightwhere you want'emand _-uh -
you can stop at any time and - uh -
guide'em or direct'era or - uh - uh -
to suspend 'em in space while you're
doing something else. And another
thing it's fun to do is to set up
the S019 where you put the - uh -
the - uh - articulated mirror system
into the airlock. Uh - just set it
_ up thereand - uh - you findyou
haven't got the window off the airlock
yet, you just - uh - suspend this big
object right out there.

259 l_ l0 09 PLT And - uh - the only thing is that before

you let loose of anything up here - uh -
you want to make sure that it is
relatively - uh - that it's not moving -
that it's relatively stable. And it's
almost, I notice, impossible to - uh -
position - something in space without
imparting some motion to it when you let
go. Either you thumb or forefinger
doesn't let go at the same time and
imparts a little motion to it or - or
when you do let go, you're moving a
• little bit and it continues to drift.

259 14 l0 39 PLT But - uh - large objects that I mentioned

are a pleasure to move and if - uh -
you - uh - have to get - uh - in any
object, if you find that - uh - you got
Dump Tape 259-05
Page 7 of 25

your hands too full, or - uh - you ""

got to do somethingelse, and you _
don'twantto set it do_ anywhere _-
you just - uh - set it there and it
stays there pretty well. The bigger
the object the slower it moves and -
uh - you just - uh - go about your
business during whatever other thing
you wanted to do, and %-hen you're
ready - uh - go back s-ud grab it and -
uh - put it in.

259 lh ll 09 FLT Now that's - uh - short - short time

interval type operations. Uh - longer
term and you let things out of you
sight, why they're gone. And - uh -
they're difficult to find sometimes.
Uh- uh - the difficulty is - uh -
much the same as it is when you're
hunting for - uh - uh - other airplanes, -
uh - uh - in the air, - uh - when
you're flying. You're for - uh - uh -
a bogly that's been called out or you're
hunting for a - uh - uh - target you w_nt
to shoot at. Uh - it's hard to find
it. Uh - not because it isn't there
but it's difficult to know where the
focus your eyes, and you can look right
at it with your eyes in the wrong focus -
uh - uh - range and not see it. The
same way up here. You're looking for
something and it's right in front of
your nose but you can't see it because
you're focusing in the wrong direction.
And - uh - the other point is that
things get away from you easy up here.
You let go of 'em for - uJa - a while,
don't come back for it, they're gone.
You got to hunt around for 'era. But -
uh - if you want to - uh - set something
in a - uh - space momentarily while you -
while you - uh - reach over and grzb
something else and - uh - get it, why,
that' s very convenient.

259 14 12 13 PLT For example, if you want to mount

anew lens on a camera, you got to
go get it out the drawer, you've got
the camera in your hands, you got to
operate the drawer, you go to hold
yourself - uh - possibly somehow, up
so you can't you haven't got enough
hands. You Just let go of the camera,
open the drawer, get the lens out and
then - uh - go grab the camera and put
it on.

259 14 12 _3 PLT So - uh - that's one logistic management

technique, I guess you might Say. Another -
uh - technique is to - uh - find a little
piece of tape or take one out of your
pocket aud stick it to the wall or - uh -
handrail or somewhere and then stick it
to the object you want to keep there. All
it takes is just a little bit of - of tape
to - to just - uh - very lightly fasten
to it to hold it in place. So I've use
that - uh - frequently.

259 14 13 08 PLT And we've discussed the other - uh -

techniques of using springs and stuff
like that before but - uh - some of the
simpler and more straight forward
devices include tape for - uh -
Just - uh - suspending in mid-air.
Okay, Question 4.

259 l_ 13 38 PLT Uh - have we found that we could

accomplish maintenance task reasonably -
pretty well where they are? Yes -
uh - we have been able to do that.
Other items that we've had to fix_
like the tape recorder - uh - so
forth, while we found that - uh -
it's - uh - very convenient to - uh -
suspend them - uh - or to - uh - say
5o up to the food locker, and - uh -
using a couple of ..., stabilize there
or using the top of the - uh - waste bins
or the - on the waist management
compartment. You could Velero something
to that and work on it.

259 l_ 14 l0 PLT And - uh - there's one thing that we ....

have _haddifficultywith is a
checklist - uh - changes and - uh- _
and - uh - holding the book down and
all that. Books up here like to - uh -
spread out in their normal open
position and when they do, they push
against whatever theirresting on. _-
And _hen they tend to float away
and they also - uh - tend to want to _
Just'opento - uh - to - uh - they
Just spread open like a fan. And
you loose your place very easily unless
you got a rubber band around "em.

259 14 14 38 PLT So - uh - I don't think you'd want

a dedicated work station unless - uh -
it was a place where you had a vice
and a couple other hold-down things and
a sort of a flat table-like area wherein
you'd go to work - uh - uh - using a
vice or something like that. But - uh -
we now can put the vice on the deck or
r whereverwe neededit, and - uh - and
with a good - uh - fit to make it so we
could fix it to the grid. Okay - uh -
I guess a dedicated work site would be -
uh - a - uh - desirable item, but - uh -
not really necessary except for - uh -
occasional times when you can get some
other place that's - uh - Just like a
tool bench to work. In our case, it's
the food locker.

259 14 15 32 PLT Probably the other work - most of the

other work we've done is it had to be
done. You had to - had to do it at _he
work site. You working on a component
that - uh - is just fasten down,
you Just go to do your work where it is,
on the mol sieves, on the tape recorder
or anything like that. So - uh - we've
had very few opportunities comparatively
speaking to - uh - to - uh - take a
piece of equipment to another location like
a work bench and work on it.

259 14 16 00 PLT Question 5: what's the prime method of

removing reactive forces when you must
exert a linear push or pull forces during
a task. No, let's see. Would you
recommend a dedicated maintenance -
station, I guess, for future long term
missions? Well, if you had a place
for a small one, I - uh - think that
would be - uh - kind of advisable to
do. Uh - particularly now, if you're
going to have - uh - lots of small - uh -
complements - uh - that you'd have to
work on and - uh - for a Job, for example,
if you had electronic boxes that - that
need adjustments - uh - uh - which - or -
uh - other kinds of - uh - sensing devices
that we're going to be used for long
periods of time and with a detachable
portable unit for - uh - testing
equipment. Then that's the thing.
It would be nice to - uh - have a place
to take 'em, like a - like an avionic
-- bench in the - uh - in aircraftsquadron.

259 l_ 16 57 PLT Uh - one other item that we've - uh -

it would have been nice to have a
place to uh fasten down when we use
them in the multi meters. We've - uh -
we've tested out several cables and
so forth and that's just a - uh - a
kind of bucket of worms.

259 lh 18 34 PLT Okay, here we are again on - uh -

487-2D. And - uh - we were talking
about - uh - a dedicated maintenance
work station. I - I think future
long term missions, you're probably
gonna have more components that you
can take loose and perform onboard
maintenance on then we've got here
in Skylab. In which case, I think
it's probably be not a bad idea to
have a - a place like that where you
fasten something down; where you can
fasten your test equipment, and - uh -
bring this object you're gonna work on

/-
 Dump Tape 259-05
.f Page ll of 25

there and - uh - take the screws _

out and - uh - fasten them somewhere "
and - uh - make whatever adjustments
or get your test set up. So if you
Just work with equipment like the
multimeter - uh - or all the more
sophisticated like a radioman's kit -
uh - it'll probably be better if you've
got removable - uh - complements and
be able to bring them to the testing
station as opposed to taking the
testing station to it. So unless
it's is pretty compact, and - uh -
Just by past history, the more compact
it is, the less flexible it is.

259 14 19 35 PLT Okay, - uh - what's your prime method

of removing reactive forces when you
must exert a linear or pull force
during a task? All right, I guess
I answered that partially earlier.
Uh - if you've got some handwork
-- to do, - uh - it's best to have your -
uh - reactorine force hand the and
neares the - uh - the - uh - hand
that's exerting the force on the
object. Uh, it's alwayse best to
have you feet fasten down if you can
do it. Okay. Let's see. Number 6
is have you noted a definite to
establish an IVA corodinate pressure -
coordinate system as a frame of
reference and for locomoting and
working on the various modules and
compartments of flight Skylab? Well,
I think you tend to orient yourself-
to the way you did in one-g because
that's the way everything is made.
Uh - the writing is that way. Uh -
doors open that way and so forth. It's
not uncomfortable to go upside down on
something. We frequently do, just go
upside down, whatever is most convenient.
But generally, - uh - with all - your
restraint devices - uh - one-g orienated,
it's - uh - remaine a tendency to operate
that way up here, too.

259 14 20 53 PLT For example, I'm standing at this

comm box, and - uh - it's oriented
for one-g where - un - it's head
height when I'm standing on the deck,
it's be - uh - pretty unusabel if I
tried to stand on the ... because
it's only one foot from the cieling.
So - uh - it's Just the way - uh -
things are built - uh - to look -
uh - look like - uh - they were
normal in one-g - uh - requires that
you use them in that manner, al-
though it would be nothing - uh -
uh - difficult or - uh - or undesirable
to ... I would assume in any manner.
Uh - I had noticed though that - uh -
on the MDA is Just a hodge-podge of
all different directions. And - uh -
although it doesn't - uh - uh - uh -
impede us in what we're doing, it -
uh - seems like it's an inefficient
way to go. So - uh - to have a hodge
podge is not acceptable. It has to
be well organized so that there's
-- proper operatingspace for everybody
and whatnot. And - uh - in so doing,
if that best need is fulfilled what,
it's - uh - orientation is not a
problem nor - uh - - Let's see now
have I - uh - locomoting.

259 lh 22 Ol PLT I don't think I've - uh - probably -

uh - I think, I probably when I go
up to the - uh - from the - uh -
trash air lock up to the dome, I tend
to - uh - face the sleep compartment
when I push off. And therefore, I
arrive at the same orientation right
every time. But, when I push off
from the dome area and come down to
the - uh - workshop, I notice that
usually I push off in the same
orientation, it's a hard maneuver
because - uh - of the orient - the

r
 Dump Tape 259-05

F Page 13 of 25

location of the hatch up there, I

think, you tend to squeeze past
where we have have the most room.
If we had more hand hold's to
push-off on in the hatch it's just
not worth doing. And so - and -
uh - by the same token of going up
there, you tend to push off on an
orientation where, when you get to
the place you're going to, it's
got the best handholes. And - uh -
the hatch is Just a big flat area
and nobody wants to land on it, so,
they always try to go, at least I
do - try to - uh - I guess,
unconsciously now, head for the
opposite side of the opening from
where the - the opening from where
the hatch is opened on.

259 14 23 01 PLT And - uh - so that requires that I

push off in a certain orientation when
I leave the - the - uh - the - uh - uh -
_- crew compartment. And Y've notice that
when I go onto the - uh - through the
airlock, why, I usually can maintain
the same orientation as I entered the -
uh - work - uh - the air lock with
from the workshop area. And this puts
me in the same orientation about
every time I hit the MDA. And - uh -
I guess it's - uh - sort of - uh -
half partial rotation to get over to -
uh - the - uh - STS or the EREP stuff,
and - uh - inorder to get out of the
way of the ATM - uh - uh - panel.

259 14 23 hl PLT So, I have - uh - found that I tend to -

uh locate through the workshop in the
same orientation - uh - going, and
then another orientation which may or
may not be the same coming back. And
I tend to - uh - work in the area with
respect to one-g, Just because that's
 Dump Tape 259-05
Page 14 of 25

the way things are built. But - uh -

frequently I - uh - I do it otherwise, -
uh - usually slow sideways, or frequently
approach things upside do_n, or whatever
seems to be right at the time, I guess
you might say.

259 14 24 19 PLT Question 7! What is yo_ opinion

concerning the advesalutely of exerting
design influence to standardized the
multiple types of snaps, latches, retainers,
restrants, doors, that you have been
conformed with aboard Skylab? Well, I
know one thing that - uh - is always -
uh - we seem to have a lot of different
kinds of is - uh - uh - connectors -
uh flex-hoses and - uh - and - uh -
air lines, and - uh - flectibles -
selectable connectors, and that kind
of thing. Some of 'em you gotta push
before you rotate and some you got to
rotate before you push and - uh - some
of - em are a real mysterey. Uh - I
guessthe one that is the greatest
mystery of all is the - uh - uh -
qwarter connector in the PCU for example.
The - uh - the - uh - dust coloring goes
on it. Uh - you never know whether to
push or pull or turn or what it you Just
sort of stand there and figure it out
for a while, and finally, you learn it.

259 l_ 25 23 PLT But there are some that - uh - most

of 'em are pretty well standardized, -
uh - hut - uh - I think it would be
a definite advantage to - uh - to - uh -
pry standardize as much as possible.
Although - uh - several different kinds
of connections are - are not objectionable,
as long as they're not a Chinese puzzle
to figure out. Uh - I've complained
before about the - uh - safety hazard
on the - uh - spring bungees that we've got.

/-
 Dump Tape 259-05
f Page 15 of 25

The ones with the - uh - that come

up on the command module, - uh -
with the command module bungees are
okay. They're good. They don't
have sharp hook on 'em - the wire
hook.

259 14 26 01 PLT But the other ones that came in the

workshop have a wire hook on 'em.
And not only is that a sharp hook
and if somebody gets in the eye -
uh - gets it in the eye, why, it's
all over, but they're weak, and they
starting to - uh - they're starting
to - uh - straighten out like a
straightened out fishhook, and they
don't - uh - hook so well behind -
uh - on the doors anymore, or whatever
you put 'am on. And - uh - when you
put something under 'em, they're
tending more to come off now. And -
uh - it's much easier to get snapped
in the eye with one of those sharp
thingsnow than it used to be.

259 l_ 26 32 PLT So, except ... if I were doing it,

I'd get rid of all of 'em and replace
'em with something else that's safer
even for Gerry's mission. Uh - let's
see, other multiple types of - uh -
latches. Uh - I've noticed - that -
uh - lots of the Calfax, the rotary
ones come out real easy. And - uh -
I guess probably there's - uh - four
or five of them that have come out;
that little retainer ring's come out
and - uh - and - uh - there Just useless
after that.

259 14 27 12 PLT Uh - multiple restraints: we really

don't have a lot of multiple restraints,
I don't think. Uh - so that's not
a - a bother. There _re different
kind of door. Uh - we always us the
phone booth type door on the head when
we go in and that seems to be a good
 Dump Tape 259-05
Page 16 of 25

one. Uh - we hardly ever use the

door on the wardroom, except to
shut - shut off the lightsfor
T002, whenever we're looking out
the window and want it dark there.
But, we don't use that door otherwise,
this open door is better, and the one
in the sleep compartment is the
same way. Uh - we usually put our -
uh - little Velcro - uh - or our
little Beta cloth - uh - or dividers
up at night Just to keep the light
out and so forth. But - uh - and
they seem to work just fine, and so
does the door on the - uh - on the
waste management compartment.

259 14 28 00 PLT So- uh - it's not objectionable

to - uh - have different kinds of
doors - uh - as long as they do
the Jobs that they are trying to
do. So - uh - multiple things don't
bother me much. I noticed that the -
uh - the Calfax-type latches that
we have on the - uh - film vault
and the food trays are not as good
as they ought to be. There ought
to be some better kind of device to -
._ uh - hold those - uh - thingsshut.
Uh - they also are used to hold down
a variety of other things ; covers
one of tem.

259 14 28 3B PLT For example, the EREP panel cover's

held down with those kind of things
and - and so are the container boxes
for - uh - uh - SO19 equipment. And -
uh - they're a nuisance. Uh - the
reason they're a nuisance is because
they're d - they don't have a friction
hlnge, and when you get one down to -
uh - and you're about to fasten it -
there's four of them on one of those
covers, - uh - uh - you go to open the
cover while the other one is up when
it 's hooked, and when we get that one

f
 Dump Tape 259-05
Page 17 of 25
/-

down there - uh - the others -

another one is gone up and is hooking
overlthe latch. You just gotta of
go around to - pushing all those ,z
latches do_ra and hoping that they
stay down before you get a cover
open, and they're a doggone nuisance.

259 14 29 13 PLT If ybu don't have a friction hinge,

a latch and a door and something
like that, why, it's an unusable
piece of equipment for zero-g. So,
those kind of latches - uh - uh - I
don't think too much of. And I
mentioned the Calfax problem of having
poor retainer rings. Plus the Calfax
are difficult to adjace [sic]. For
example, on the - uh - the covers for
the mol sieve. You're lucky if you
can get two of them in there. They Just
don't line up good, or if - uh - or
if you do get 'em lined up, you gotta
push extra hard to start, or to niate.
And - uh - and - uh - they do the Job
once you get 'em in, but - uh - you
gotta hunt around for a spot and - uh -
you gotta push hard to find the right
hole, smd then crank.

259 14 30 00 PLT And sometimes it'll ratchet close,

and sometimes it just won't take.
So - uh - you have them on the
mol sieve covers and you only use
one or two of 'em because - uh -
they're just such a nuisance to
have to - uh - uh - run around the
lab to hold.

PLT Well_ I think that's about enough

on 287-2 Delta and if you got
anymore questions on what I've said
or if I can amplify on some of my
remarks, or if I haven't explained
some question well enough for - uh -
or if I misinterpreted one of 'em, why
please let me know, and I'd be very

happy and look forward to clearing •

goes to Bob Bond over in the - uh -
uh - to the - uh - program office.

259 14 30 51 PLT And - uh - that's to the end of

this message, and best regards to
Bob and his family by the _ay.
Thank you.

259 14 34 15 CDR This is the CDR, and I'd like to

do some - uh - M487-2D. Question l:
answer is that the tools have been
extremely effective and useful.
We've had to use them frequently;
we've had to use a lot of them.
Now, one problem I think that could
be elivated - uh - is the high
cost, simply by going down to the
store and buying a full set o# tools,
arranging them in drawers so that
_- there - the tools themselvesfit
together , by that I mean all the
wrenches in one drawer, and all the
something else in another drawer,
instead of sometimes scattered around
like they are now. It's been an effort
to do it, but in the desire to conserve
space, which is, I don't think near as
critical as getting tools laid out in
the right way. I think you can do
much better by - uh - arranging it
similar to what a mechanic would do.
Tools that we've needed: we've needed
a hacksaw; we've needed a file, and
we need a sharpening stone, and we
need a - a electric drill. I think
with these tools, you could end up
being abled to do mostly - and that
electric drill you may want to put
an adapter on it - uh - to - uh - to
cut items better. I'm not sure. Uh -
oh yeah_ one other thing we needed up
here. We needed another pair of good -

f
 Dump Tape 259-05
Page 19 of 25

.. uh - dykes, which weren't available,

andgoodforwirecutting.Andwe _ _i
needed a good pair of - uh - strong _
wirecutters. We had to use wirecutters
and cable cutters like we use for
EVA, for standard EVA use, to cut
out some brackets near the hatch to -
uh - look for leaks in the DAC's
system. My suspicionwould be that
we use a - and I'ii mention that - _ .
we need to - uh - just get some
good - uh - good sturdy - cable-like
cutters up here. Last - we're always
hunting leaks up here, either coolant
leaks, or vacuum leaks, or something
like that. And you need a leak detector.
Uh - if they told us before we came
here that you couldn't find leaks in
the spacecraft because of the outside,
because it wouldn't make any noise, that's
the biggest part farce in the world.
We've had two or three holes in ...

f
have - uh - to dump - uh - 02 out of the
command module. I opened it up myself,
put a probe in there, and you sure
can hear it. So there'e no - uh -
reason to believe that - that audio
leak detector couldn't be invented to
do the Job up here which is certainly
is a needed thing. More than that,
you need something that you can
introduce a small amount of this
radioactive material in it, and then
run around with a little sniffer same
as they do on ground, cause it
looks like that's gonna be a continuing
problem up here.

259 l_ 37 06 CDR Uh - what postural adjustments have you

had to make inorder to accon_nodate
task performance in zero-g?

CDR Not too much. What major muscle

groups do you employ in zero-g?
You employ your - uh - arms a little

°
 Dump Tape 259-05
f Page 20 of 25

bit more, I guess because a lot ....

of times you're not in position J'--.-_:.
to use your legs. Now when you _- _
are in a position to use your legs,
then you'll use your legs differently.
Mostly on the ground, you use them
in tension or - or just compression. :_ _
Here a lot of times_ you_Tap 'em " '_ ' _
around something, and squeez down
on them. A tank or you wedge your
feet in a door. Like right now, I'm
kinda floating up in my compartment,
and to hold myself steady, l'm pushing
back on one side of the door with my
left he - heel - Achilles tendon, and
l'm pushing forward with my right toe,
and that keeps me nice and stable.
Nov on Earth, l'd Just be standing Just
on the floor. So you're tend to use
a little different tricks. Takes you
a while to learn to grab in different
ways. You tend to want to stand up
upright, and after a while you just
f look aroundfor somewhereto put your
feet. You may not be upright or upside
do_-n or just a better view but - a better
visability. And what Job you're doing.
By the way, another thing you need,
if its where the too1 kit, is you need
a good light. You need - we anin't -
talk about work bench last time but you
need a good light that you wear on
your head. Now we have one over there
that ought to have a little frosted
glass on it ; it would be adequate.
I think it needs, maybe three more
batteries, or needs to be made so that
it fits the entertainment kit batteries
so you don't just have one battery for
it ... using one. That's what you
need.

259 14 38 40 CDR Would you offer any design recommendation

for future vehicle hased on these consid-
erations? Yes. The main one is you gotta
have a floor everywhere that you can grip
to somehow, like this triangle grid.
 Dump Tape 259-05
/_ Page 21 of 25

Tirangle grids make ... It's one of the

nicest things here, and it would been _
really tough if we hadn't had it. And I'm ....
Just wondering - u_h - if in future space-
crafts you_ant a truangle gridded or you
want to end up with some sort of megnetic
shoes or some other technique. But you've :_
got to have the ability to get your feet " ....
locked dwon up at the EREP panel, the the
CED does have that ability. It's easy to
work that. The VTR does not. You have
handholds and so when you let go of the hand-
holds to turn a map or something, the hold
goes to pieces. So you've gotta have your
feet placed do%m, and that's probably the
most important thing. Our large masses are
far less difficult, and they're more fun
to handle because you think - you realize
how you'd have to do it on Earth. You tend
to spin them and hold them in one hand, and
leave them floating, and it's great. It's
one of the nicest things.

i- 259 lh 39 _6 CDR Now large masses, I think, are easy to handl;

no sweat there. Small masses - uh - like
screws; things are difficult. I would think
that we're gonna have to come up with some
device like a spring where you pick up in
the coils of the spring, might not be a bad
idea. Or some sort of little bag where you
can lay them out. We've been using tapes.
That works fairly satisfactory, but it
looks awful rudimentary. And something can
be invented to hold things. We're thinking
of screws and washers and the like; anything
small. Anything bigger than a screwdriver
is no sweat. Have you found yoJ could ac-
complishe maintinance tasks reasonably
well? Reasonably, I'd say, personally well
without having - without having a work space.
You really do need a work bench with rubber
insulated boards, with hook-ups where you
can power this equipment. Uh - right now
we got a probe but nobody - it checks out
great not under power and everybody's afraid
to power it up because somebody's liable
to get burned. Ah - ridiculous. First
of all, we could do it here with a vice.
 Dump Tape 259-05
Fage 22 of 25
f

You need a work bench with a vice, some

electrical power, some way to hold it. You .....
_ got your volt low meter there,and grippers
.... from the experimetns,so whateveris bolted '_
you take over and strap down on the table
and work on it. Now, you have to strap
it to the floor and you don't have any •
lights, bring your flashlight, a lot of '- _
other problems to solve. Yes, we do. Just
like a - no difference up here and on Earth.
You wouldn't think of working on precision
electronic gear on the floor, on Earth.
You'd have a nice bench for it.

259 14 41 18 CDR What is prime method of removing reactive"

forces when you must exert limear push
or pull forces during a task? I think
somehow get the feet down, torque gently
with the other hand. I haven't had problems
with these unless you're in a place where
you can't get your legs ... into position.
Have you noted a tendancy to established an
IVA coordinate system. Yes, because it
f goes Just like you did on Earth. In fact,
I think it end to hold the back up here,
somewhat, to get generally move to a station
that way. It allows you to reach things; it
allows you to move into position. But it -
you have to remember and say, hey I could
work out this thing the other way; it'd be
easier. So you have to be careful or you
fall into the trap of trying to always do it
with that reference frame, whatever it is.
It's hasseled and then it allows you to
orient yourself easily into space.

259 14 _2 13 CDR The application you feel it should "have: I

think you should design it with a definite
orientation in mind. Uh - because that makes
everything uniform; it makes you, when you
some - into a site, know how you got to
operate, without having to figure it out.
Now, if you get - let's say your gonna go
up and work on the water tank. When you get
there, you spend a quite a while flipping
around to different places. And when you
flip around, you'll find that sometimes you're
working with your foot, in a switch that
shouldn't be in. Uh, going up and looking
 Dump Tape 259-05
Page 23 of 25
f

out the STS window, we've turned off the

_ switches up there two or three times. It's "_
• _'_ a ridiculous thing to do. There ought to
_ be a Way to operate at those windows where
' switches are out of the way, yet you have the
ability to see out the windows in all dir-
ections you want to go. So, you ought have

Ii desi_you,with
hut one orientation
yourself be flixibleinenough
mind that
to - _. _z
' changes have things protect realizing that _-_
people may change.

259 14 43 ii CDR What is you opinion concerning the - ed

visibility of exerting design influence
to standardize the multiple type of snaps?
Every snap ought to be the same. I agree with
that. Latches: as good as posible. Re-
tainers: I don't think you ought to do it
after the - thizLk is - is uh - built except
in areas %;here - like - uh - trash bags and
utility bags, things like that. Uh - these
little holders for clothes. All of that ought
to he standarized and not try to assess
something better than we got. Springs on
/_ the door. the ought to be standarized. A
lot of that ought to be standarlzed. But
once a piece - once you go buy a piece of
gear, you shouldn't change it over. You
should try take it like it is, cause we do
have a lot of flexibility. We haven't -
one thing I've noticed is we overkill the
personal problems. We work with a lot less
human engineering than we have pass. Now
we could do away with almost everything we
have and still survive up here which _ives
me the feeling we spent a lot of money to
get these things standarized to Just perfect.
I suspicion what we ought to do next time
is foctor that. Let's pot out some specs
to begin with for all experiments.

259 lh 4h 22 CDR Before I had to say, excuse me, pass me this

and this and here's where you get them. If
we get it off the shelf itme, take it llke
it is. But have the spers in plenty of time
to give the other correct. One of the biggest
complaints I've about stowage around here,
is we got all this stowage so neatly placed
to wast. Particularily in the command module.
 Dump Tape 259-05
page 24 of 25

You got straps,bags, and bags. _ _ _-

Ridiculous. All we ought to have is !L _L_
down in littlecompartments.You open _ "'_. Y_u
the compartments, stuff your thing in •
there, just a little tab of Velcro will
keep it in. Like these spring on the
front of the - uh - of the - uh - _ "
box that houses the flight data file. _ i_ i
We got those. We talk about springs •
now, that sort of thing.

259 14 45 06 PLT Now, one of those springs broke

and we like it better without the
spring. The stuff doesn't come out
of there. You just keep it in there.
Now if you're talking about little nuts
and bolts, it's 50 individual items
you're going to have to hold them in
some way. But the best way to hold
them in there is just get them like
they are, put a little tab of Velcro
on it and a little tab of Velcr0 nearby,
Just snap it in. Get rid of all the
/ bags. YOu got too much bags .... the
hags bY the thousands of thems. Every-
time you open the drawer, the door
down in the bottom shelf, next you open
the Beta close flat, pull out a bag,
and in htis bag are a bunch of flash-
light and little holders. Would it been
better to take those little flashlight
holders, if you want to put them in holders,
fold them up and Just shove it in the
door there, with a little piece of
Velcro to hold it down. You pull it
out and open it up. And we found that
to be much simpler. Now, that eome'pletes -
uh 487-2.

• first of all, as you know, you're going to
have - Maybe you don't know. We're Just
about out of the tape you sent up. And,
also, it's bad tape; too hard. Next mission,
how about sending up some regular Scotch
frosted tape instead of this tough stuff
we've got. it's too hard to cut. Also,
you might look at modifying that serrated

259 15 24 05 CDR The metal holder is good with one exception.

We need to get one with a magnet as part
of it, so on one side we'd have Velcro, the
other side we'd have a magnet. That way
you could Velero it to the walls where you
need to; the magnetic part to the top of the
table. That would be good. Now even a
better way would somehow to be get a little
. faster on the bottom so when you put it on
your - top of your food trya and if wanted
to use it to update checklists and things,
then you wouldn't have to hold it in your
other hand. You could do a one_anded
operation. Now I think that could be done
simply by putting some sort of fixture that

waited around for the READY light to come
on before I did a MODE to MANUAL. And it
came on after it's - uh - uh - normal start
time, and so I did a MODE, MANUAL, and
- uh - so it started taking data after its

259 19 29 56 PLT Okay, space fans. This is Jack on

channel A, and the subject is
the debriefing of - uh -
the last ATM re_, which began
at 18:34. We ran off a
JOP 6 - uh - two times at
different rolls, and - uh -
skipped the TV down-link,
and we got - uh - 3 JOP,

nothing - uh - unusual to
report this orbit. Uh -
I made my - uh - daily sketch of the
corona, and - uh - over there
on the - uh - east limb
everything looks about the same;
not too much different. Uh -
one minor active bright stre_r_er
and over on the left limb -
uh - we've got a couple of nice
bright streamers too, not a
f whole lot different than - Dh -
yesterday, however. So - uh -
the ones in the corona today,
why, - uh - think they don't
appearto have changeda whole .
heck of a lot and - uh -
nothing significant to report
from our observations up here.
So that - uh - concludes the
debriefing for this rev, and

259 22 34 52 PLT Okay, space fans," this is Jack on channel A,

debrieing the last ATM run _%ich begins 21:38.
You started out by - tu% - asking me about
seeing anything unusual in corona because -
uh - related to active regions - uh -
26 and 28. And - uh - I had not on the
preceding rev, but - _ - I went up and
looked i_ediately on this rev and I saw
nothing extraordinary - uh - over in that
region. We have a very nice, - uh - distinct,
bright streamer - uh - emanating from that
area. However, - uh - it did appesr to
change with time and had no ruh - apparent
uh - discontinuities in it, _ich would
make me think it was a transient. Uh -
however, I did a 43-second pass scan on it.

259 22 35 41" PLT And - uh - then I follo._ed - uh - ran by

- uh - shopping list item 19. And - uh -
I was supposed to be &t the south pole.
However, in - uh - doing some rolling around,
I had selected canister roll at one point,
had neglected to go back to'experiment
roll and - uh - took all _he data and
a - uh - canister roll of a minus 5400.
Uh - the preceding - uh - uh - shopping list ."
item 17, however_ was done in experiment
roll of minus 4 - 5400. So - uh - it
turns out that - uh - shopping list item
number 19 was take_ at kn experiment
roll of a minus 7h50, which is abou_
37 degrees from where it should have
been• And - uh - I first noticed m_v mistake
by looking at the - uh - XUV monitor
and noticing that - uh - the hole that -
uh - I think that you wanted to study -
uh - was not - uh - r_ - precisely where
I thought it ought to be. And - uh -
checking around, ! finally cs/re up _th
the fact that - uh - the canister roll
9as selected in minus 5400.

259 22 36 51 PLT I hope that the - uh - data can be used,

that it's not too far off. It appears
that it's right on the edge of the hole
_\ Dump Tape 259-09
Page 2 of 3

that you were hoping to study and that

it will be - uh - probably satisfactory
to - uh - to use for the south pole.
So - uh - whith that - uh - uh - rather
serious oversight - uh - on my part -
uh - I hope that - uh -.shopping list
item 19 came out all right. We ran the
exposures precisely as outlined on - uh -
... 4336 Alfa. So - uh - with that -
uh - we'll sign off now until the next
rev- _i - at 23:14. Thank you very
much.

259 22 37 34 PLT Oh, one other point - ph - We did run

another shopping list item 17 at - uh -
experiment roll of a minus 5400, 43-second
o. •pass scan at the end af this revol_tion
before effective sunset, so as to insure
that we - uh - covered any transients
that might be there that we could not
visually see on the white light corona-
graph or in H-alpha. Thank you. Out.

arld Jerry Hordinsky. Here's .._ry
inventory
of can 1037, which is still in W706
and which was filled, I believe, by
one Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin, and who I
presume had sent down a pretty accurate
inventory against his. And if it in -
him is - if his is incorrect, give
him at least two black marks - preferably
delivered directly by telephone - the
soonerthebetter.

259 22 42 52 SPT Here's my inventory: cs-n 1037; ascodeine,

30 tablets; aspirin, two - uh - cans,
58 tablets in each; Ampicillin,

tetracycline, h0 tablets; Sulfamylon cream,

two tubes; Dalmane, 15 tablets; chloral-

hydrate, 15 tablets; pilocarpine
ophthalmic solution, scopolamine drops,
dextroamphetamine, and general skin
cream. All that is in 1037 and W706.
Okay, this next door in'W700 is the
emergency equipment kit, which I
think is a concoction of Joe's. Here's
what he's got in it. An epinephrine
s_ringe. It's the long syringe for
intracardiac injections. There is
also an epinephrine injection vial,
I presume, to be used with the large
syringe.

is the regular-sized one. A trach_otope
a hemostat, and that's it, in his little
