024 01 08 42 SPT ... limb up here is pretty much the

same as ...... right now. 2 SINGLE
LONG exposures for 56 an 18 minute
on filter h and an 18 minute on
filter 5. But hie one I'm having
the most fun with and I kind of think
that the results might be kind of
interesting is truncated MIRROR AUOT
again and I guess that's the
kind of thing we can - do the best
right now with the situation we have
on the disk. What I'm looking for
here are not Just chnages within
active region but c_=nges within
active regions and between active
regions which are time correlated
so I have the HORIZONTAL CROSSHAIR
limed up so that it crosses the
brightening point in active region
33 Which is now right on the limb,
and active region 21 a bright
point there, although that 21 has
J_ become rather difuse, spread out.
And also, essenti=11y all the
plnge which I can see in the XUV
MONITOR is slightly above the line
and I feel is being covered by
the MIRROR AUTO RA_A'_ from
looking it in the XUV MONITOR and
the HORIZONTAL CROSSHAIR there
which is the same as the HORIZONTAL
CROSSHAIR In the H-ALPHA i. And
Judging i_ the pointing locati_,
I say we're pretty much covering
that whole plage area with our
truncated MIRROR_ AUTO RA_'A'_.

02h 01 i0 26 SPT From the bright point in 33 to the

one in 21 is 90 arc seconds. I
find that pointing H-ALPHA 1 is
978, oxygen VI was 15,000 at the
start, and then next time I came
back to it it was 7000. The
oxygen VI count over in 21 was h000
when I started and then it got down
to 2000 later. And with my truncated

J

M---IHROR
AUTO RASTER I've been occasionally
sutdying the mirror between the
two, so that when I stop I can see
what they're doing. And we see that -
the point over in 33 is doing
straightforward at 5000, occasionally
it's - 3, I think ma_e my pointing
is not right on the brightest point.
Maybe a couple arc seconds might do
it one way or the oterh.

024 01 ii 29 SPT That ... has cooled down quiet a bit

from when I was - I first looked at
it. And also the point over in 21
is going between 2 and 4,000. I
really should have thought of this
earlier today when we were doing
all of these - beaucoup of these
things. I always had it tangent
to the llmb - which, I guess if
there was anything _Inning along the
limb ... - to see but I - I doubt
that's the case so I - was thinking
we might have ... c_Angee here is
interesting and I'd be curious about
the results. Another thing I was
th_n_ng of doing was to run in
between the bright part of active
region 33 and the prominence
whioh is Just south of that to see
what changes could be time correlated
there. Really, with the situation
that we have on the disk - there's
not a heck of a lot that you can do.
All these type of things ... to study
a single, particular area, llke
getting line _rofiles or something
like that.

024 01 13 02 SPT But I think we're -,_ing good use of the

s_11 activity which does main.
Think I'd like to rmain in the
MIRROR MODE which is going to -
allow us to move rapidly into a
transient as a short ... If there's
anything different that comes up in
this orbit then _he _y I've ... to
point, I'll- I'll have _sc_ething.

Saw one other thing the - on the

lamb it looks pretty - it looks
like we have a very small surge
going, l'm wondering if that - that
pumping into the corona all day
long,a nd while watching and it,
it - it gets larger and -_Aller.
It always retains its identify
as a surge but it waxes and wanes.
And I wonder if it is not Just a
sporadic source of material for the
low corona.

024 01 14 07 SPT ... I can see the corona on

outward that we can see in the WLC
which we've seen enhancements in
the streamer structure. Now that 's

to the ATM report on this last orbit
whim_ began _t 00:39. We finished
up the orbit pretty much as we
began it, as I specified earlier.
A couple things to add, however,
is that we did have a good surge
on the limb. Went out to about
30 arc seconds, to silicon
base - space no% being quiet on the
limb yet. I saw it come and go
and it dec_yed and - essentially
pretty close to being gone at the
end of the orbit in H-AI_. At the
end of the orbit, I also tried to sneak
in a building block 32. We had -
I got it in Just before the dump started,

go ahead and set our clocks and be
up by ii - -

_4 01 35 24 SPT - - 250 K so we got a good look at

the corona. You know, I think we
have _omething like this on the
limb which is - needs to be quiet
accurate in terms of time
v_riations, and also since we bad
seen some changes off the enhancements
in the streamer structure, it'd be
kind of an interesting thing to
a good study on the actual density
of t_e corona before and after -
we make thelimb observations. So
that we'd do a STASDASO MODE at the
beginning of the orbit, a STANDARD
MODE at the end, and with all the
time variations of the limb features
- We're going through it in a limited

024 12 28 h4 SPT SPT at 12:28, ATM ops, orbit which

alledgely began at 11:50. Got the
building block 1A, 1B and then the
VTR work all straightforward and all
done according to the - the plan.
I wouldn't saM schedule, however. We
had a problem with another experiment
which we had to do before we got up
here, which could not be c_rried out
untilmomentumdumpwas over,which
/ set us all back in getting running
this _orning. So I was ruDning ATM,
and going back and forth between
that experiment and was able to get
the 1A and 1B in. But when it came
up to around lO minutes remaining, I
had Just finished it and started to
look at JOP 7 and realized we had
the 82B exposures and had to set up
for it and pointing and roll understand
what was being done. And it was m_
conclusion at that time that there was
no way I was gging to do that and maae
sure it was error free. Wlth the small
number of 82B exposures left abailable -
gave me no choice but to cancel it or
poftpone it. So we'll pick it up on a
subsequent orbit. I' think putting
sumethlng like that in early in the
morning when you don't have time to
get u_ to the panel - even if I was
up at 11:50, Been able to work it
straight from there, I think something
which is Just a little of nominal like
that which we have no_ _one frequently,
if at all, would be best put into
anotherorbit,or to get us up here

that's specified on the - on the pad
the night and before and we all know
about it. Get caught cold on something
like this, that's - is the kind of
thing which can promote errors and that's
something we're trying to stay away from.

02h 12 31 08 SPT Okay, in looking at the corona, it

certainly has filled out in thesoutheast -
southwest, excuse me. I'ii never make
an astronomer. The active region on the
limb - and I hesitate now to call it a
33 or a 35 - I still believe it's 33
because it's exceptionally bright and it's
the one that's putting out all the -
the surging and that corresponds to the
high flare probability hut - we got a
_ big discussion going on here whether it's
32 or 35. N@netheless, the one that's
been s_rging all the time on the limb
an_ the one which I called 33 yesterday
perhaps had heen putting up a lot
of material into the corona, because it
certainly has shoWn up on the coronagraph.
I'll give a more detailed description of
it on the air to ground on the next pass.

morning PSA. The initial problem Was
brought about by the B_@4D measurements
which had to be made postsleep brfore

- correction, before urination. And

when we got up we had Just started ...
and we could not carry out with the
BMMD reading until that was over. The
net result was that we kind of turned
the world upside down here, and then we
also had some throat cultures to get and
Just that - those two things by th_m_elYes
in the short period allowed for PSA
can really set you behind. I had an
ATM going at 11:50 in which there was so
much scheduled - required understanding
and I really should have been up there
before 11:15 in order to figure it A11
out. What I tried to do was run the ATM
while I was doing plstsleep that series,
PRD readings and the like and a few other
things - everything else required
_- down here postBleep. And also, when we
finally got out of the - when we got out of
the . .. did the B_4D reading .... I
start running ... this morning and when
we finally got down to the - was able
to do it all, except when we finally got
to the ATM and the last ... of it and the
building block which required understanding
I came up to it clod and couple of
minutes late and the net result was I
couldn't do , it because i_ was ... something
I d_d_n't under,tan4. There was a
message is - everybody's got to set
coordintaed here in the ATM world• I
think I had enough time to understand
something that was a little bit different.

2 minutes, Jer.

CDR Right.

PLT Did a little list - forward

now. Okay, now he 's
tracking backwards. He 's
r
-- in allthat ...he's
actually going back first,
toward the food lockers.

CDR ... backwards and ...

PLT That 's right.

CDR I can't take out.

PLT Yeah.

_DR I don't have translation in

that direction.

PLT Okay, he doesn't have a

translation in this direction.
He's - he's drifting towards -
toward the food lockers.

CDE All I can do now is, I

can turn sideways. I can
do lateral maneuvers to
try and take it out. But
that's very, very wasteful
in fuel.

PLT Okay. He got a net translation

 D_np Tape 02)4-03
Page 12 of 32

out of those last out of

those last maneuvers, which
was essen - essentially
going to the center of the
workshop making attitude
maneuvers, right over the
hatch to the aft compart-
ment. And by making a
series of yaw, roll and
pitch maneuvers, he ended _p
with a net translation toward
the food lockers. Okay, he
pitched forward a little bit
and then in order to kill
his translation, he had to
pitchup, to get ... part
of the tranBlatlon. That
is to say he ahd a thrust
_ up,headfirst. He's
killed out that translation
now and taken an awful lot of
thrusting to do it .... pitch
again. He was over the hatch
are_, deep ip the aft compartment.
After all those attitude maneuvers,
he started drifting back first,
towards the food locker and in order
to stop that tranlsation, he
pitched forward toward the dome hl6
and thruste@ up toward the ...
and although that killed off the
translation toward the food lockers,
it also gave him a net up -
upward thrust toward the dome which
he's now killed off now by thrusting
down. The net stnnof it is that
he used an awful io_ of propellant
in order to take emre of that one
small translational ....

PLT Okay, now let me get my checklist

and make sure we follow this thing.
I think you probably know this
better than I do. Okay, this is
attitude change and hold. Is that
what the first one is?

CDR Yeah, this is going to be pitch first.

PLT Okay, let me get you all set here.

CDR Get this camera off.

024 13 30 h3 PLT Okay. Here we go in attitude

change and hold. I don't think you
need to read it, but -

CDR Yeah. I'll put a translation correction

._ in. Okay.

PLT Okay, now le - let me know when you

think the sttitude is right. And
I'll try to kill out all the rates.

CDR That's about right. Actually, it

looks like the feet ought to be up
a little more. I feel like I'm a
little bit feet low. I feel like I'm
like this instead of like this.

PLT Okay. How does that feel?

CDR Am I about horizontal to the floor?

024 13 31 23 PLT Sure looks like it tome, Jer.

CDR Okay. There, that looks good.

PLT Okay, this will be the attitude

change maneuver sequence. Turning

The PSS is still up around 1800.
Pitch up mad then pitch down.

CDR Data mark.

024 13 32 04 PLT MARK. Okay, he's pitching up. A

little correction there. Thrust
up; thrust up. Okay, hers going
to pitch to 90 degrees. Taking out.
Okay, when he did that he started
yawing to the right. Now he's
taking up the -

024 13 32 39 PLT MARK. Okay, he's going to move

slight - yaw to the right. Taking
_ his yaw out. Okay,he's got fairly
decent translational stability right
now. He's gonna yaw back to the
right. Giving a - okay, giving a net
thrust down; he took it out with a
real quick pulse toward the head.
Okay, a little yaw left; a little
thrust up. Okay, a little yaw
left. He's now got to pause a bit
and thrust toward the head. Yaw
left, and ... yaw left. Thrust
down. He's not - his head _s
closer to the floor now than his
feet.

CDR MARK.

02h 23 33 2h PLT MARK. Pitching down_ He's got a

sl_ght roll tQ the right - ys_ to
the right established. Okay, now, he's
getting ready to kill it off. He
had a translational correction in the
middle. Pitching up, pitching up;
and he's yawing left slightly.

CDR That's the old yaw left trick.

PLT Yeah, he's got a ... y@w left; now

he's thrusting up one pulse. He's
trying to take thelyaw left out;

he overcorreGtos it slightly. Got

to- puts it back in - yaw left and
yaw right. Small thrust to yaw

stability positionally. He's up
on a slight yaw right in; he's
Just tweaking it in.

though.

024 13 34 38 PLT Yeah, you sure are, Jer. You got

an awful lot of coupling. Think
I got you too far that way. See.
No, I think that's all right. Think
that's about right, right along in

he's taking it out again. Okay, he
took that out with a very smRll thrust.

02h 13 36 01 PLT MARK. He's thrusting down. Now that

was a real good Job.

CDR Trouble is, I've got m_ attitude off.

PLT Yeah, well that - using the - the

velocity at M509, I think it's better

to go ahead and try to ignore

some of that stuff. Otherwise
you really drag it through the -
Okay, he's in a - he's got a
slight roll left out of that pitch
down and dogleg correction - not
dogleg; it'd be thrusting correction
in the middle. Okay, he's stopped
at the x - very pure maneuver.
Okay, he's thrusting up to get re -
reposltioned. Take out translational
rates ... first.

024 13 36 35 PLT And he's pretty well back to

starting point. Oka_, now he 'S
yawing to the left to _orrect yaw;
he's taking it out now. He's ended
up with a net drift toward me,

He's got the camera on; I see no end
of film light. He's pitched up;
looks like a pretty good maneuver's
going there. He's not - he has no
translational rates. Okay, that was
about 3/h o_ a second, pitch - or
thrust up.

CDR ... good - good correction.

PLT Yeah he's - now right over the hatch;

very good.

That was a thrust up. Okay, he 's
killed out translational rates ; he's
gonna be pitching up here shorly.

with a yaw left. Okay, he - again he
got his yaw Just about killed. Now
he's gonna be rolling.

CDR Roll rate, I should say, and yaw rate

to the right of about - or a yaw
error to the right of 5 degrees with
no rate.

PLT Yeah, a yaw error to the right of

5 degrees with no rate• And he ended
up also with a slight roll left
displacement of about lO degrees, I'd
say.

024 13 39 38 PLT Okay, now. Check th_ pressure: 1500.

it says.

CDR MARK.

02h 13 40 49 PLT MARK. Okay, you go_ a little yaw

he's coming back around to the right

now. Got a little pitch down with it;
now he's gonna be taking it out. He
took about - used about three
corrections. Now he's got to pitch
down, so looks like it's pitch down
with the - whatever he ... stopping roll
and got a roll - yaw right with that
roll stop maneuver. Okay, now he,s
got a- -

CDR MARK.

024 13 _i 21 PLT MARK. He's got a net translational

velocity toward the dome hatch,
bellybutton out. Okay, he's
pitching down to correct his attitude.
He's got a very nice -

it out again. He's - and he's
ending - he'_ ending up with a net
translational velocity, very slight;
I'd say about two second. Okay,
he's - now he's taking out the roll.
But he's thrus - he's actually moving
up towards the dome hatch. Okay, he's
taking the yaw correction_ he's gonna
make a yaw correction. He's got
his roll ._. pretty well stabilized.

CDR MARK.

024 13 h2 09 PLT MARK. I"d say that was a pretty

good msmeuve r. And the only thing
wrong with it is that you ended up
with a slight translational velocity
toward the dome.

Okay. When he was stopping earlier,
he got a yaw right; now he's trying
to take the yaw out. He got a
pitch down, and he's ending up again
with a net translational velocity
toward the dome hatch, chest out.
Okay, stand by. Small attitude
corrections there, in yaw mainly.
He's trying to get back over; he was
yawed right slightly and he's correct -

024 13 44 51 PLT MARK. His will be a roll to the left.

Pitching up slightly he's taking the

looked real good.

CDR Yeah, that was good.

PLT No - no coupling at all with that

roll left.

CDR You can tell them that I think most

o fhte coupling is an input problem.

024 13 45 20 PLT He thinks that most of the coupling

is due to the input problem. That is
to say the problem what we were
discussing inability to put in perfect
mechanically input force m_tched in -
taking out the roll. Making small
pitch correction.

024 13 45 45 PLT MARK, And yaw correction. Stand by

to all the thrusting htere. It
seems like yon know that when you
yaw that fast_ it really - really
catches up with you there towards
the end of maneuvers.

CDR It sure does .... let's do one more

and I'll try it slower -

PLT Yeah, okay we'll do one more and

try to do it slower. Yo_ know
actually tha_ was a very good maneuver,
but I think it would have been
even smoother if he hadn't put -

Our discretionary location was taken
during the running of T020. I ... four
different readings on filter 8. 0WS

I was laying right in the opening between
the forward compartment and the experi-
ment compartment. Took the reading,
pointed towards the plus Z SAL. Excuse
me; it was pointedtowardthe ... Okay,
I'll give you the channel readings here
because they ...: 169, 7 and 3(?). And
then I went up to lX on the diffusion
screen where I figured all the dust would
be coming in. And so I did that with ...
That was 136, 7, and 3.

CC Skylab, this is Houston - -

SPT And ... on the 1 plus on the screen

which is the diffusion screen right upon
the dome. And I went to the top of the
air - trash airlock and put it down there.
And that was 194, 28, and 38. Surprised
by the high numbers, especially filters 2
and 3, so I did it again 8 minutes later.
So it came out 197, ll, and 34.

PLT And the backpack was very sloppy. We've

put it on television. We've also changed

which ought to be plenty. At least
for one tumble recovery. Now, l'm -
l'm going to hold - -

CDR Tighten the straps almost - -

PLT Yeah, we've tightened the straps almost

to the pain ratio. And the - Just a
minute. Let me get something here.

PLT SO, we put the straps as tight as they

could really be tightened with - with
any practical consideration for the
feelings of the operator. And we're
getting ready to do tumble recoveries.
And vhen you're ready I want to turn
the DAC on.

CDR Yeah, I'm ready,

PLT Okay. DAC 's coming on. Let 's see

where we're going [?]. Okay, I guess
you can turn yours on.

PLT Yeah, he's got a bending moment now

that he didult have before. He's
drifting toward the dome. Lot of
extra dynamics. He's picking up to
get - put his head down toward the
aft hatch. The - that is the hatch
to the experiment compartment, in
order to kill off the translational
rate toward the dome.

PLT Okay, that thing is really wiggling

around.

like he's - trying to maintain himself
in the center of the dome locker pass
and using the A_MU to maintain the
translation and using his hands, I
thought for a while there. It looked
like he was using hands for a - a

occasionally pushing off.

_4 14 59 h0 PLT PLT out.

024 15 22 32 CDR This is the CDR at 14:22 Zulu,

debriefing the T020 run. First
of all, let me Just quickly run
through the sequence of events,
and how everything went, and then
I'll get into the debriefing guide.
The prep was started on time -
actually, the prep was started
15 minutes late and the reason for
the 15-minute late start was because
of the water loss measurements we
had to take with the _MMD this
morning.
0_4 15 23 09 CDR We gst up and had to wait nearly
25 minutes until the gravity gradient
dump had completed before we could
40 the IR_4D measurements for this
water loss thing and that Just kind
of set the whole day back so far -
20 minutes. It looks like we've made
it up now in T020. So we started
the prep and got everything done and
we're ready to go right on time, and
my estimation was thatwe were to start
the des - discretionary maneuvers at
13:50 and that's _ust about when we got
to that.
 Dump Tape 024-04
Page 9 of 24

0_4 15 2B 52 CDR Now, in the prep, let me tell you what

we did, You know we - we left the seat
on and rigid and about that on and
rigid, I should say, so I - the
procedures involved in prep were very
much simplified. I - I didn't even
remove the belt from the system. I
Just got on the bike and fastened
the belt on and pushed it down low
on my hips, and then we proceeded to
cinch everything up and I was - I
was dogged with a minlmt_n of fuss and
feathers in no time at all. Then
we went ahead and did all the thruster
prep and everything, and I - at
exactly 13:15 I was ready to do my
discretionary maneuvers and I went out
and Just fluttered around a little bit
_- and I beg your pardon, we were 5 -
5 minutes late getting the discre-
tionaires.

0_4 15 24 40 CDR I had lO minutes to play with .

CDR At any rate, I went out and I

fluttered around and did some pitches
and some rolls and some yaws Just
to see what was happening and
practice up on my - foot inputs.
And I found that raising the toe
input, now that we're up here,
apparently my muscles char - changed
a little bit or something, but it's
tougher. The forces felt like they
were higher to raise the toe than
it was for any others and I think
that's Just because the muscle
structure is not as strong now as
it was during training.

024 15 25 21 CDR And I think that is probably the

basic cause for my control input
problems last time, and mad a lit
of same control input problems this
timeand that is mainlywiththe
left foot, mainly with raising the
toe. You try to raise the toe Just
so far and when you don't hit
 Dump Tape 0_4-04
Page I0 of 24

something, you end up - trying to

raise your whole foot. And that's
a reflexive or instinctive movement.
If your toe rotation doesn't do it,
then you - you Just instinctively
seem to raise your foot in order
to get that toe up. Tell you what
it does, it gives you a roll.

024 15 26 02 CDR Okay. We got out and did the - the

discretionary - promptly at IB:B0
w_ started the data maneuvers. And
I don't think I need to give you a
blow by blow on _hat too much because
Bill was doing that, and it sounded
to me like he was giving you every
little nuance that was going on, so
it would be Just redundant for me
to go any further withthat. We
finished attitude changes, pitch, roll
and yaw. And we used - the only
hand signals we used are the ones I
used, mainly for the dc_e camera. So
that means you're mlneuvering unit
camera has got no fingers to signals
on, no hand signals but I think you
ought to be able to figure out from
trying how that worked out.

024 15 26 48 CDR I don't think we did much screwing up

with the film. I think we - we got
all the stuff and we worked together on
the film. Both eameras came on and off
about the same time and we gave the
right amount of - of hold time. So
I thlnkyour film date is probably
pretty good. We did the pitch, roll,
and the yaw and a single action trans-
lation, and then we decided it was time
to get the Nikon photos done, so we
stopped after single action translation
and did the Nikon photos for TR's as
well as the Nikon photos to show the
orientation of the straps in the rigid
system. Tl_en we started the two acts of
4 translation and that required TV coverage,
and what that meant was Bill had to get
 Dump Tape 024-04
Page ii of 24

way up into the airlock in order to

get enough distance on me to see what
was going on, which meant that he
could not give you a - a dialogue
while I was doing the two action
translation and a doglike maneuvers.

(_4 15 27 48 CDR And I worked out a system where I

could steady myself and start out.
And I w_sn't as steady as when Bill
would steady me. But I think it was
reasonable enough to start the - the
test with.

CDR We did three two,axis translations and

3 doglegs and each of them was with
me steadying myself, and the tumble
recovery we did not do with the rigid
7 system. We had run out of timeby
then; at 14:30 we went back to the
docking rig and sped up the non-rigid
restraint, and surprisingly that only
took about i0 minutes.

O_4 15 28 30 CDR Well, that shouldn't be too surprising.

We only had to add straps 3 and 4, and it
felt so bad that I had Bill go up and
fire up the VTR and we took television'
so that I could demonstrate to
you how the backpack flops on my
shoulders, even with the darn straps
tightened up to the pain threshhold.

(_4 15 28 51 CDR Then, we - after that TV, we moved

me out into. the middle of the workshop
and ve did a tumble and - and then we
went _ then I tried to do a baseline
maneuver M509. It was kind of a
bastardized baseline maneuver. I
went up to the banjo first, which is
position number l, and then moved down
to position number 2, and then I
rotated and did the movement - the trans-
lation along the - the dome locker,
to position number 3. - -

Q24 15 29 31 CDR And that position 3 - I can't even

remember those dumb numbers.
 Dump Tape 024-04
Page 12 of 24

Yeah, that's position number 3.

I went from the banjo down to
position number 4 and then around to
3, and then from 3, I tried to
flutter down to 2 and that was kind
of a catch as catch Can. What I tried
to do was touch and go. I did not try
to do the push and shove maneuvers.
And for the most part, I got around from
psoition 4 to position 3 along the dome
lockers fairly well. I touched in
two places, very gently.

(_4 15 30 l0 CDR It's Just that - you know, that axis

is so long and the radius of curvature
of the d_ne lookers is - is short
enough so that - now this system
dowsn't really adapt itself too well
to doing that maneuver along the dome
lockers, but I was m!most able to do
it. The times I touched were Just
Very, Very gentle touches. If I
had started out maybe another foot
away from the dome lockers, I might
have been able to carry it off - l'm
not sure.

024 15 30 35 CDR Okay, then from position 3, I went

down to position 2, which is SMU
number 2. I didtnot shove myself in
that direction. I tried to maneuver
in t_at direction and it was a difficult
maneuver, but it's all on film and
you c_n see that I had to touch and
go once on the way down there. And
then that was just about it. We rean
out of time and the gas _s getting
low. We stayed - we never did use
up PSS number 2.

0]3 14 21 09 CDR And by the way, for your notes, Bill

_ook PSS number 2 up _ad recharged it
and sQ it'll need a sop off in a day
or so and it'll be ready to use again;
3 and 4 were not used and battery 7
_ was the one that was used. It's back
in the rack studwe have not put in on
charge. We're waiting for your direction
to put it on charge. Shutdown and
Dump Tape 024-0_
Page 13 of 2_

storage went as - as planned. I

don't want you guys to think we
don't trust you or anything, but
we were not going to burn our
bridges behind us and stow a TO20
as if it were never going to be
used again. We stowed it with all
straps still intact and non rigid
system still intact and then we've
got it strapped down so that it's
out of the way and safe. But I'll
be danged if I was going to take
all those straps off if there was
even the remotest possibility we
might have to use them again.

029 15 31 59 CDR So, it's - it's stored on the docking

fixture, securely stored, and it
will stay there until we have put
it away better than that. And let's
go on to the debriefing guide now.
Foot controller characteristics are
yo_rbody and feet properly restrained
by the straps? Nonrigid, no; rigid,
yes. I found that with the nonrigid
system that when I wanted to push
down on the restraint system, it
pushed me up out of the seat and in
the nonrigid system there was an
elastic situation there and I was
bumping up and down off the seat.
In the rigid systemI was pushing
against the shoulder harnesses and
was getting good foot responses but
in the non-rlgid system I had a very
definite feel that I had a bending
motion going, that I had a hinge
point at mywaist and it was causing
all sorts of extraneous motions.

024 15 33 18 CDR Is the controller pedal action or

feeder satisfactory? I guess I
touched on that. The toe up feel -
feels very heavy now, because I
guess because of the difference of
my musculature up here in zero g.
L

Dump Tape 0_4-04

Page 14 of 24

And it did not feel harmonius as

it did down there on the ground in
training. Do controller forces in
travels appear to be too high, norm-I,
low. I Just touched that right
above. Were the inputs you used
during the minimum input demo as
amall as you could eo_-,,And? Yes,
and I used about the same ones today?
And I tried some moteral c¢-.-,_nds
today, that is Just barely squeaking
them on and that again with TO20
as we figured out over in training
is really a good way to run, if you
got the time to do it and play with
it.

024 15 3_ 08 CDR I did today and it worked out fairly

_ii. I was able to m_e some pretty
.... fine correctionswith it. But again
we got pitch and yaw interplay here
that is partially caused by input
problems, and it Just bugs us all
during the day. 'Do the thruster
pairs appear to be generating equal
thrult as indicated by difference in
noise level responses in cross-coupling?
Well, noise lever I couldn't tell the
difference; response and cross-coupling,
yes, it appears that there was some-
thing there, and I don't know whether
its an input or an equal thrust
problem. Are the c_utroller responses
steady, variable or erratic? I'd
say they're steady I think they are
reasonable steady for what you put
in them. I didn't get any sense, I
didn't sense any feeling that they
were variable or erratic.

02_ 15 35 01 CDR Describe the mature of control inputs.

Well, I did s_me _oderlating as I
said and I did some singles and
multiples on off. I did them all.
I trl_d all kinds and they all
f_ worked. I foUnd for yaw that rather
than _FY to squeaze on yaw or modulate
yaw, that a single bang-bang was better
 Dump Tape 024-0_
Page 15 of 24

because I could get - I could at

least get a more repeatable input
that way. Are minimum impulses
satisfactory for comm_nding minimum
rotational rates and holding altitudes?
Yes. And translational rates? Yes,
for that holding position as well.
Are controller responses satisfactory
for commanding attitude changes and
position changes? Yes, I think they
are; I think the toe rise problem
is muscle problem, not a control
response problem.

G24 15 35 58 CDR Are the control responses harmomious?

That'm a good question, whether
they're harmonious or not. I can't
really say. I didn't feel very
harmonious today and including me
intothe loop,I'd say theywere
not harmonious, because I Just wasn't
getting them in equally end I wasn't
getting then all the way I wanted
them. But it was certainly a
very _reat improvement over last time.
But let's fact it. Your control _stem
the idea is good of using your feet
and keeping your hands free, but the
implementation, the execution of it,
is Just nor working. And I wish I
could give you some good, positive
suggestion_ _on how to improve it -
and I'm Just not sure I can. I still
think your concept is good, using
your feet instead of your hands, but
we need - we need a different kind
of scheme and I can't think of
anything better right offhand.

024 15 37 04 CDR Does control cross coupling due to

any of the following factors appear
te be excessive, tolerable, or
negligible?

CDR Pitch due to translation - tolerable.

f _ We got a littlebit but I considerit
to be tolerable. Roll due to translation -
none. Yaw due to translation - none.
Dump Tape 024-04
Page 16 of 24

Roll due to yaw and yaw due to

toll - yes, we got that. We got
plenty of it. I consider it to be
excessive and -

CDR Do any of the following items appear

to sigDificantly affect COmm_nd re-
sponses or cross coupling? Slosh
or body motion or slosh, there wasn,t
toa much of it.

024 15 37 44 CDR Backpack motion? Yes. In the non-

rigid, backpack motion very definitely
caused effect on the motion of the
vehicle. I could feel it.

CDR Thruster impeachment on body? I

didn't even notice it. I don't think
there is any.

CDR What was the order of task difficulty?

Alright, I owe you some pilor ratings
now. Okay, I'm going to go off the
air for a minute.

024 15 38 50 CDR Okay, pilot rating. Alright, in

the single action maneuvers,
the system was controllable. Per-
for_nance was in the - in the pitch

adequate, yes. Work level tolerable?
Yes. Was the system at least mar-
ginally satisfactory without improve-
ment? Yes. Was desired performance
achieved without any compensation?
No. Wgs the work load at a satis-
factory level? Yes. So you come out'
with a sumber 3 on pitch and roll.
In the yaw, the system was controllable -
yes. Was performance adequate?
No. Was controllability satisfactory?
No. Was it intolerable? Yes. So
it gives you an 8 in yaw.

Yes. System marginally staisfactory?

Yes. Desired performance without
satis - compensation? No. Work
load satisfactory? Yes.

CDR Number 3. Two acts of translation?

System controllable? Same thing.
Same pass right down to ntunber 3.

CDR Dog legs" Same pass but I think we

ought to go out to 4. No - no, I'm
gonna go back. For the dog legs:
system controllable? Yes, performance
adequate? Yes. Level - work level
tolerable? Yes. System at least
marginally satisfactory without
improvement? No. Performance clearly
adequate? Yes. Performance of a
desired level? No.

CDR Five - number 5. I didn't like the

way the dog legs turned out. I
Just - I don't think we got enough
room _or the dog leg maneuver or
something. I - I - I got awful close
but things Just weren't happining
right and it didn't - it wasn't working
as well as in the simulators. And
I can't put my finger on what the
problem was. But I would start out
poii_g at the - the duct over there
and _'d start my pitch down and I
felt like I was much too close to
the food lockers, Just all of a
sudden much too close. And I don't
know what the problem was there.
Maybe I wasn't pitching down fast
enough or something. But at any rate,
I didn't like the d - performance
and it wasn't of a desired level.
80 that's the number 5.

CDR In your Judgement did the initital

maneuvering and terminal criteria
listed on page 25-5 appear to be
pertinent or reasonable? I think
I'd have to temper my remarks
 Dump Tape 024-04
Page 18 of 24

last time a little bit and not

he quite so harsh. I think rates
of, oh - let me look at 25-5 and
talk from it. Trajectory of
position, I think ought to be more
like 2 feet. I don't - I couldn't
keep it within a foot, particularly
in the yaw single axis maneuver and
then - yeah, that was the biggest
one. I Just couldn't keep that
withing a foot.

CDR Translational rates: Yeah - yeah,

that was okay. Rotational attitude,
i0 degrees: that's reasonable. Ro-
tational rate of degree per second:
Yeah. I guess that has to be reasonable
too. The biggest thing is trajectory
position. I couldn't keep it within
a foot on that yaw- single axis yaw.

CDR In general, did it take less than

lO seconds to meet the attitude or
criteria? In most cases, yes. In
one or two occasions, it was more
than lO seconds.

CDR Was the time to perform the maneuver

too high or too low due to high or
low rates for attitude control
problems? Well, I thought maybe I
was using too high a rates in the
yaw maneuver - single axis yaw.
But it didn't seem to help to
slow it down because I still ended
up being a couple feet away.

CDR Were the number of control inputs

high9 normal, and low? Intentional
commands were slightly high. In-
advertent con_mds, l'd say, were
about normal.

024 15 43 39 CDR Did the control logic present any

significant problems? There 's where
I should say yeah, the toe up control
_" logic caused problems and I've
already killed t_at horse, so let's
don't fool with that anymore, but I
thine that's probably the - the area
that -where it applies.
7_z_ - 3_7_ .l'L-?_.

CDR Were thrusters not as useful as

power DQ?

CDR Yes, they were. Very useful, par-

ticularly in the area where I was
metering thrust.

CDR What parts or features of your body

or the maneuvering system were used
as visual reference points?

024 15 44 06 CDR For the most part, looking right

down the center of maneuvering unit
were the visual reference points
and that was about it. No other
part of my body or the maneuvering
system did I use as a reference point.

CDR What parts or features of the work

shopwere used as visualreference
points or motions cores? Again I
found the - the dome restraint ring -
the blue ring under the watertanks
is about the best visual cue of
what your motion is.

024 15 44 36 CDR Were lighting and shadows a significant

problem or an aid? No, not either.

CDR Was there any degree of spatial dis-

orientation? None whatsoever.

CDR Were the forces in dynamics resulting

from either planned or unintentional
contact with the workshop as expected?

CDR Yes, they were. I - I only contacted

during the - that final discretionary
was very minor and I expected them
and it WaS no surprise.

CDR Do you think any procedural anomalies

that occurred might have influenced
task performance? Today, no; last
time, yeah, I think there were some.
And I - I outlined thoseto you.
 Dump Tape 024-04

024 19 45 i0 CDR How would you rate the relative

importance, significant, useful,
not a factor, bothersome, significant
hindrance, in the following design
features of the FCMU for OWS maneuver-
ing ta_ks? Foot controller con-
figuration and operating characteristics
I'd say they were a significant hind-
rance. Control logic: I don't know
whether I should knock the control
logic or the operating - operating
characteristics, really. I'm going
to c_ll them both significant hindrances.
I - YOu understand where my problem
was and you understand from what I've
been telling you where - where the
hangup is. And I'm Just -within
trying to constrain myself to your
_ subjectshere makes it difficult. So
I'm going to say both A and B are of
significant hindrances. From my
remarks I think it's evident to you
what the situation is.

024 15 46 07 CDR One degree of translation control

is indeed a significant hindrance.
Visual reference: there's no problem
there, so I'd say not a factor.

CDR Control response, thrust levels:

not a factor or useful. I think the
control responses were about right.
Thrust levelsJwere good.

CDR Unstabilized control system excel

command? It was bothersome.

CDR Unbalanced thruster? Significant

hindrance. Hand free operation?
I think it's significant. Equipment
location between the legs? I think
is useful.

G24 15 46 51 CDR RCMU configuration antelope? I'd

say, bothersome. Having all that
stuffup highon yourback putsyou
in a position where there's something
between the back of your head and it's
easy for you to turn and bump into
something as you're turning, I think.
 Dump Tape 024-04

CDR Backpack envelope? Well, that's

CMU. Okay, I - I always considered
a backpack as part of the FCMU -
let 's split that up. FCMU configuration,
useful. It's out of the way and
the envelope is good. Backpack
envelope is a little bit too bulky
and big up around the shoulders.

0_4 15:47 31 CDR Pilot proficiency. Do you think the

time you spend on the training simulators
was sufficient? Well, my comments
don't really - don't really change
from the last time. I said last time
that what I needed was a little on-the-
Job training, that the simulators was
sufficient training time, but you
lose it between then and the time
_--_ you use it up here, and you need a
little bit of warmup up here. I
got my warmup last time and I feel
a whole lot better this time about it.
I felt that we were in much better
situation this time and - and you
got a better pilotin_ proficiency and
you got better data.

024 15 28 04 CDR Did the performance improve noticeably

or the workload decrease with each
successive run? Well, with each
successive performance of T020 it did.
As the runs got - as we moved along
with each run I didn't find a work-
load decreasing because the complexity
of the maneuver increased each time,
so the workload was probably increasing
as well.

UDR Do you feel that the training and

experience you received in performing
the planned maneuvers was sufficient
for the discretionary maneuvers per-
formed in the workshop? Yes, I think
they were, and I felt like I could get
_ aroundreasonably well. I think the
big thing with T020, if you could
use your hands, you could handle or
• hand yourself most anywhere.

k,
f_

Dump Tape 024-04

024 15 48 49 CDR Do you think that your experience

with M509 with Skylab EVA operations
assisted or influenced in anyway the
maneuver or manner in which you per-
formed the T020 maneuvers? I'd say
it was minimal influence.

CDR Do you note any influence of long

term zero gravity physiological
effects on your ability to operate
the FC unit and perform the task?
As I remember last time I said "No"
but of course this time my answer
is a definite "Yes" - raising the
toes ia a problem.

02_ 15 49 14 CDR Simulation effects: Comment on the

expected and the unexpected difference
between TO20 operations in the workshop
and the air bearingand 6 degree
of freedom simultors. I would say
no change to my last debriefing.
They're all Just about what I said
before. The air bearing training
I thought - w_s good and - the -
the three deminsional effects were
expected and we got them and it's -
all there. And I - I don't- I don't
need - think that my last debriefing
need any amplification there.

CDR Number 32. Discuss any of the following

factors that may have significantly
affected the operation of this experiment.
Procedural anomalies : None this time.
In fact - well, there was a procedure
anomaly, we didn't do all the hand
signals by the observer. And that was
a real boon, I'll tell you. If - we -
if you can start your data out - and
get your - get your answers on this
one as well_ you know, as on the
first one, then we saved a considerable
amount of time by knocking off that -
hand motion stuff.

0_4 5 50 28 CDR Equipment modifacations: Yeah, there's

the nonrigid restraint sstem is lousy.
 A

f_

Dump Tape 024-04

Page 23 of 24

I knew it would be lousy and - with

all the flop I think we've adequately
demonstrated that - that should be
done away with - that the bending
moments have got to be gotten rid of
even in a - in this foot control
maneuvering unit.

024 15 50 45 CDR The set up in stowage: No problem

there. Camera operations, no change.
Communications, no change. Body
and foot restraints: Well, okay.
Let's lump that with equipment modi-
fications and you've already got an
answer there. Influence of surroundings,
no change. Internal - external dis-
turb_nces, no change. Get a ... noise,
no change. Training adequace skill
carryover: Well,I'vealread F
touched on that. Skill carryover
from last - last time up here was -
was - was significant.

024 15 51 17 CDR Long term zero g physiological, I've

touched on that. Other zero g exl_ri-
ence, no change on that. And that
pretty well concludes, In conclusion
I want to say I feel a whole 10t
better about - the data we've given
you for TO20 now. I think we have
now done you a - a fair Job. i,m -
by fair I mean - you got - you got your
shares - you got - you got a Justifiable
amount of work out of us. And I
think you got data now that - that's
that's fairly truthful data and good
data and again in - in s,,-,,A_yI can -
say I think the concept is good. I'm
afrai_ I can't say much for the
hardware. The implementation the -
we've got to find a better way to
implement the - this sort of thing.
The - the - the problem of putting in
_rong control input into an unmapped
or direct system is Just it raises
the workload so much that I think that
it makes the system unfeasible, and -
that - that's Just about it.

handheld observations. How in the
heck do you do that? All right -
observgtions of handheld site 45,
Gulf of St. Lawrence ice. The ice -
pack did not appear very rigid or -
I should say solid. It appeared
to be broken up quite a bit although
it did extend out about half w_y
into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Tip
of the ... on over to about the
center of the opposite coastline as
you go Southwest. There began to be
more clouds and it's tough to dis-
tinguish ice from clouds in some
eases there. But the ice pack them-
selves appeared to be broken up, oh,
for four to ten miles or so segments
and moving outward and to the east
and southeast.

024 16 30 01 SPT The - that is, water was only visible

on the southwestern and northwestern
side of the ice pack where it would
come in contact with land. I did not
see any ice ... out into the Cabot
Strait. But in general, it just
looked a little more broken up than
I've seen it before. Perhaps the
wind had shifted it out a little bit
further and - maybe the temperature
has got someting to do with it. I
don't know whether it's been raining
down there, but it looks - it looks
as though it might have been a little
bit warmer.

024 16 57 21 SPT The subject was Von Karmon vortices

cloud patterns. And these were
exceptionally long, covered a
distance of about 600 to 800 miles.
They extended soutn-southeast as
best I can recollect from the
Verde Islands in the Atlantic.
And there was two of them. One
was most pronounced which we have
the most photography on. There's
three of them and it took -
took three shots in order to
get all in. They were formed in
low stratus cu. 3/10 cloud
cover; elevated 2/10. And the
strata cu lined up to form very
stretch out von Karmon vortices
pattern. I would say they were
probably about half dozen vortices
all together• And again, what
made it so exceptional was the
exceptional long length over
which they spread.

024 20 i0 47 CDR This is the CDR at 20:05 Zulu -

correction - 20:10 Zulu, debriefing
the 19:20 ATM pass, which consisted of
JOP 6 building block 28's and some TV
downlink. The mechanics of getting
the two building blocks out was no
big problem; we got everything done.
_--- Approximatelyhalfway through the pass,
I got a call from the ground where
you folks indicated that active
region was surging, that I should
keep an eye on the WHITE LIGHT
CORONAGR_PH. I had the WHITE LIGHT
CORONAGRAPH running on the _NITOR
number i and the XUV running on
MONITOR 2, and I wasn't even bothering
to look at H-Alpha.

024 20 ii 36 CDR The only thing I noticed in the WHITE

LIGHT CORONAGRAPH was down in that
quadrant where AR-35 is located was
a noticeably brightening. However,
I'm not sure even the brightening
would have been noticeable had I not
been alerted to that particular
quadrant. I saw no indications of
any kind of a corons_l transient that
came out that direc$ion. The corona
has changed slightly since this
morning, and I described that on the
air-to-ground. So I guess there's
no real need to mention that on this
debriefing.
 Dump Tape 024-06
Page 2 of 3

024 20 12 07 CDR The XUV MON is getting less and less

interesting, withthe 35 and 31 and 33
going over the hill. And I guess the
only item of interest on the WHITE
LIhZ_T COEONAGRAPH, other than the -
the splitting of that one streamer that
was mentioned on the air-to-ground,
is that there's a little spike of a
streamer out at about 040. It's very
faint; it's a short spike. It only
goes out to about halfway from the
occulting disk to the edge of the
screen. But it's a - it's kind of an
interesti_Ig location all by itself.
And just before sunset I went to the
limb and did sort of a limb surge
through that area, and there's no
prominence or surges or anything there
that I could see that could be
causing that little spike. So I would
guess that it must be coming from
something off the back of the sun.

024 20 13 12 CDR l'm trying to remember what active

region were that high a latitude,
and I can't think of anything right
offhand. So I might be something that
is emerged. That's essentially it.
I did a building block 32 at the tail
end of this pass, as suggested by the
ground. I see the next pass starts
with a 32, and l've penciled in a
building block 32 at the end of the
next pass, for the next operator.

02h 21 ]9 42 CC Skylab, a minute to LOS. About

4 minutes I{_ ...

02_ 21 19 51 CDR Hello from Skyiab. l'd like to

toalk to you today about thin film_.
You know in the - the application of
thin films, the thin liquid films,
in - in industry is in the area of
eleetonics and in makeing thin
crystals for integrated circuits,
There's f few problems that they're
having with that industry right now -
with that process of - of making thin
films ; and that is, they don't really
quite understand what the rupture process
is of an undisturbed film. They don't
know whether a - a film - a thin
film begins to rupture around the
edge or whether it's Just sort of a
random th_ng, or maybe it starts in the
middle.Theydon'tknow.

02h 31 17 34 CDR There seems to be an interrelationship

of qute a few different factors that
seem to affect the stability of a
thin film. Oi_e is drainage, in one g•
they found that by rotating the film
after they've made it - they've drawn out
a film of liquid - that by rotating they
can make it last anywhere from i0 to
i00 times longer than they c_n if they just
draw it out and let it sit • and then finally
break. Another factor that seems to be
related here is viscosity of the
liquid, and that would seen rather
logical. And a - another one, very -
very interesting item, is film elasticity;
that is surace tension.

021_ 21 18 14 CDR Now what we're gonna try to deomonstrate

todya is the dlfferenct ways that we
have of forming thin films. Now, there's
two ways. We have a possihlity of - of
taking a wire of il - a loop here,
putting a liquid in the middle of it,

_ and expanding the loop and drawing the

Dlnnp '['_pe021)-07
Page 2 of ii

drop of liquid into the thin film.

The same thing csn be done with a
little rectangle. They can ex -
expand one side of a rectangle and
draw a loop. Now, the other way of -
of drawing out a - a thin film is -
is the - using inertia. That is
jerking _ loop or something like
that - a thin film out of its liquid
and using its inertia to leave the
liquid behind and - and bring out
Just a thin film. So we're gonna
try using both of those things -
both of those ways of stripping
the liquid from a film.

024 21 19 16 CDR One thing about the absence of

gravity that we know, it certainly
eliminates the draingage question.
We have no problems with drainage
up here. And , in fact, sometimes
with - in other areas_ it's kind of
a problem. It doesnt' change the
visciosity effects. We - we're pretty -
we're sure of that. The viscosity
certianly doesn't change with zero g.
But, one area that we can look at
pretty well, and that's what we're
gonna address ourselves to today, is
elasticity, or surface tension, and
its effects. And we should be able
to get a little bit of insight on
the evaporative effects, how that
affects the - the time that a film
will last before it finally ruptures.

024 21 19 58 CDR The equipment that we're gonna use

is the loop that I showed you, a
little square here with a sliding
side. And for the stripping-out
method of - of forming a film, we're
going to fool with a - a cube, a
loop - or hoop and a tetrahedron.
And what we'll do is we'll draw
some soap-solution films out of
a liquid, and we'll measure the time
that it takes for the tin film to
finaly rupture. We're going to use
 Dump Tape 021_-07
Page 3 of II

this wire equipment. And the

soap solution we're using is a
h0 to 1 rstio of water to soap,
and the soap that we're using is our
shower soap. It's a liquid soap;
it'l like shampoo. It has been
referred by severl of us as dog
shampoo. And if you'd like to know
what our shower soap smells like,
go - go smell Fido'd shampoo; you
probably got it wired.

024 21 20 56 CDR Well let's - let's get on with it.

Ed, would you turn off the VTR?

024 21 26 19 CDR ... the loop ... wire here; I'll connect
the loop ... Now this - this is
a rather awkard thing to do, so I'm
not - I'm not promising any grand
results. But what we're gonna try
/ to do is take lcc drop of water,
1 cugic centimeter, and put it on
the loop and drawit out intoa -
into a film. And then we're going •
to see just now we're going to see
how big of a film we can make - how
big a loop. And then we're going
to do the same thing with that hO
percent soap solution. And compare
the two, and see how much bigger a
loop we can get. We expect -
because surface the tension in the
so_p that is less, we expect a
bigger one.

02h 21 27 14 CDR Now as you can see, I'm having

trouble just moving this water
bubble. There we go. No I'm gonna
begin the the expansion of the loop.
The big problem is getting another
bite each time.

024 51 27 59 CDR Well, I snapped it and lost it.

But we had a loop about this big
around, which is about - oh, 2-1/2
inches in di82aeter, And the - it was
just about to it's full length. Let
me try one more hree; then we'll have
'* s - •

Dnmp Tape 024-07

P_Lge )I o1" .ll

to press one. We don't really

have time to redo our failures.
All right. We'll put another -
another 1 ce on here. There we
go. And try to get it - -

02h 51 28 39 CC Skylab, we're back with the

Vangaurd for ii minutes.

CDR - - try to get it to fill the loop

first. And once I get it to fill
the loop, then I can begin to expand
my loop out. But I have to be
very careful not to Juggle it
because if I Jiggle it too much and -
and rupture it, you know, it's
ruptured to to inertia effects by me
yanking it around rather tha
what we're trying to find out here,
and that is the elasticity of the
liquid. And fooling with wires is
not all that easy.

024 31 29 17 CDR All right. I don't know if you

can see some of the little hubles
that are forming on there, hut
there are bubbles there. We're
about to the same diameter we were
before and I have to go get another -
another bite here. All right.
It should pop _'.y time now. This is
as thick as I've ever been able to
get it. Well, there's lots of
liquid left on that. There it went.
All right, Now. You can see that
loop is about 3 inches in diameter.
Now let's try a soap solution.

024 21 30 30 CDR Okay, here's our loop again, and a

soap solution of about 1 cc. It
seems to want to hang on to the -
the syringe more than it does
the wire.

CDR Did it again.

CDR No, that's not gonna work. Let's try

it one more time. Nope.
Dump Tape 024-07
Page 5 of ll

024 21 31 48 CDR Would you kill the VTR, Ed?

024 21 46 51 CDR Okay. We're gonna try again now.

We had to stop for a few techincal
difficulties there. And I 'm gonna
see if I can't make a l-cc soap
bubble that will let lose of the
syringe and not dribble back over
the top of it. Did it again. This
time I'll try snatching it off.
No, that didn't work. Let's try
one more, It works beautifully
when I'm off camera. Soon as I get
the camera running, then it doesn't
work.

024 21 47 45 CDR Okay. Let's try again. Trying to

make a bubble on the end fo the
syringe, and then I'll try to sh.ake
it off. See, that's the trouble
with this soap solution; the bubble
itself does not have enough
surface tension to rain - maintain
its own integrity, so it kinda just
wants to drizzle all the way down the
side of the syring. And getting alce,
bubble transfered from the syringe to
the wire loop is turning out to be more
of a problem that I had reckoned for.
Nope. Still doing it.

024 21 48 46 CDR All right. This is not one full

cc, and as you can see, it's got a
bubble in it. But I think it will
still probably stretch out much,
much farther than the water and still
demonstrate my point that the more
flexible film 0 the more flexiable
the liquid or the solution, the - the
thinner the film can be stretched out.
Because we - if we put the same amount
of - of liquid on the loop and then
strethc it out to two or three times
the side - okay. That only went -
that went the same size as the water,
so we mush havehad onlyabouta
quarter of the - of the soap. You
can see that loop is Just about exactly
 Dump Tape 024-07
Page 6 of ]i

the same size as the water loop.

So we have no choice now but to
try agaiD.

024 21 49 50 CDR I think if this one doesn't work

this time we're gonna have to call
it quites and go on the the jerk
method of - you'll pardon the
expression - of making film; that
is, using inertia to strip the
liquid away from the film. All right.
Now.

CDR There, we got a ice bubble on there.

Now. This ought to really draw out
a nice thin film. Let me get it
stabilized. Okay. Now you notice
this one has a bubble, and it'll be
interesting to see what the bubble
--\ does. There. It popped.

02h 21 51 48 CDR You can see now that we have far

exceeded the plain water bubble. My
biggest problem is keeping my hand
out of the way while we continue t O
stretch. Okay. I think that's about
all we have time to show here, and that
is the fact that the soap bubble, with
less surface tension, has more
flexibility, and can therefore be
stretch to considerable more distance
than the water bubble. And I finally
shook it enough to break it.

024 21 52 25 CDR So now the next thing we want to

look at in drawing them out is the
little square, the sliding rectangle.
And I'ii just deomonstate this as
a method of doing the Job. This
one is - will take a lot less fluid.
And the big thing again will be
getting the doggone bubble off the
syringe. There. That's about 1 1/8
of a cc. And now I'll try to roll
f_ it so thatyou can see it. As you
can see, there's 2 inches, there's
about 3 inches, 4, 5, 6 - I got about
7 i_ches there before it finally popped.
Dump Tape 024-07

024 21 53 43 CDR Okay. You can see that this is

a - a mych more controlled method of -
of drawing out a film. And I cna
go back to the beginning here and
establish my little bit of fluid
again. And just redraw it - just
keep redrawing the - the thin film
we've used enough time on this.
Let's get on to the - the method
of matching.

024 21 54 33 CDR And I'm going to have to replenish

my soap solution and then we'll
be back with you.

PLT Okay.

024 21 59 31 CDR Okay. We're back in business again,

and this time we're going to - we're
going to use the inertia of the
liquid to strip the liquid away from
the film. And first of all, we're
going to use the little loop. Now
this is just plain water here; this
is my food tray. And then this little
can here contains the 20 to 1 percent
_0 to 1 ratio of water to soap.
Now. What we wanna do is snatch
this out and then we wanna measure
the time that it takes - -

024 22 O0 l0 CC Skylab ... minutes to LOS. Nest ;..

Hawaii in about 20 minutes ......

CDR - - for the - the film to dry. Now

I'll do is snatch all three of them
and then we'll - we'll get the clock
started. All right. Here comes the -
the first one out ... Okay. All
right. There's the first loop right
there. And I'll stick that' I've
started my clock. I'm what I'm doing
is sticking that loop on a little
piece of tape nearby so that I don't
lose it.
Dump Tape 024-07

024 22 01 01 CDR All right. The next one is the little

tetrahedron. Now. And I pulled that -
that rascal out, and I've only got
one face here, and that's the face
that is facing you. The other four
faces did not work, so I'm going
to put it back in and try snatching
it again. All right, now - now you
can see that we have a tetrahedron,
but pulled into the middle of it, you've
got a film on all four of the sides.
But you've also got a - I don't know
if you can see that. You can see a
little seam down the center. And it's
as if a line was drawn in from the vortex
of each of the corners of that
tetrahedron, and then it all meet_ in
the middle. And so that gives you an
ed - egives you several films.

024 22 02 i0 CDR All right, now the tetrahedron,

just by moving it, has now broken
down, and now there's only two -
two faces that are holding together.
now. So I'm gonna resnatch that,
and then put it down quickly.
There it is. I've got it made again.
And I'll put it down and let it
dry. And the loop has jus popped.
And that was a minute and a half.
Okay, the tetrahedron has already
broken down due to evaportation.
And one face has already opened up
on the tetrahedron. Now my next one
is the square - or the cube.

02_ 22 03 09 CDR All right. Now I've snatched the

cube in, and what it's done is drawn
into a - it looks like there's another
• little cube inside of it, and just
a tiny little cube. And it - then
there's a or - a line drawn from
each corner of the outer cuve into the
iner cube. Now by snatching more
rapidly,you - thatlittlecube
disappeares. In other words, that
little cube in the center apparently
appears to be a function of how much
 "4

Dump Tape 024-07

Page 9 of ii

fluid there is available. If there's

not enough fluid available that little
cube will not form, and your faces
begin popping, or rupturing, until
you finally end up with only one
or two faces left as the - as the
fluid continually readjusts itself.

024 22 04 04 CDR Okay. I'm gonna redo the cube here

now. The tetrahedron is still holding
well at - with three of the four sides -
one - two more sides just broke as"
I was speaking. Now there's only one
more side left in the tetrahedron that
hasn't popped yet. All right. Now
I - I still haven't got the square
the way I want it. There we go. No_.
Now we have the square with a little
square - and that only lasted 5 sec-
onds. I'll try it again. Now I have -
by pulling i out very carefully and
slowly, I have the full cube of water.
Now I'm gonna shake some of it out.
Now I have a tiny cube in the center
with a line drawn from each corner
of the big cube to each corner of the
little cube, and I'll shake a little
more liquid out.

024 22 05 08 cDR All right. Now I have a - very, very

thin films here. And the lines coming
into the inner cubes - the inner
cube is extremely tiny, and the
lines are almost coming to a point ;
and I don't e_pect this cube to last
very loDg. Okay. But what - as
we've seen with our tetrahedron,
which, if I can bring back now -
our tetrahedron has only got one
face left, but it's a very thick
face. And it's going to take that
a long time. Now I can shake some
of that water off of there, which
I've done, and now I have a nice thin
-- film,and I'm sure that film is not
gonna las long at all.
Dump Tape 024-07
Page i0 of ii

024 22 05 54 CDR Okay. The cube has finally broken

down. It burst; it ruptured on
three sides, and we have three sides
left in the cube. And the little center
cube is completely gone now. We
just have three of the six sides of
the cube left. We only have one of
the four sides of the tetrs_hedron
left. Now I'm gonna shake some
of the exvess liquid out of the
cube in ordre to hurry its demise,
or supture. Okay. Now I can see
that it's beginning - when you've
got two intersecting planes there, you
have that line and that - I see
the line between tow of these
planes is beginning to show a little
strain. Now. It just popped.
We're now left with two faces intead
of three. I'ii shake off a little
liquid. All right. Now I expect
I'll lose some more frames - faces,
I should say. Now the tetrahedron is
still down to one face. And I
snatched the - the last one off of
there hoping to take off a little
water. Okay. It's been 30 seconds,
now, since we got down to two faces
on this cube.

02h 22 07 38 CDR But it does - it does appear to me,

from what we've done today, that's it's
feasible, in zero g, to make thin
films. You can do it, rather than
jerking, by shaking. And here I've
jsut formed the tetrahedron again,
with the medians going - the lines
going form the vortex of each one of
the corners into the center to a very
tiny tetrahedron in the middle. And
as we can see, over a period of time
these faces are going to pop.

024 22 08 08 CDR Okay. It's bee a minute and a half

now since this cube reduced to two
faces, and once it reduces to two
phases - faces, that seeme to be it's
most stable configuration. And it
 Dump Tape 024-07•
Page ]i of ii

would seen to also be the case

in this tetrahedron. By the way,
the tetrahedron just blew two
faces; it just popped 'em. I'll
shake off the excess fluid. I
shook too hard. But it appears
that the most stable configuration
is the one face with no - no
intersections within the other face.
Apparently, the intersectionwithin
the other face is a very unstable
condition. And as soon as the water
or the liquid can move far enough,
the face - the sep - line of
separation between the two faces,
the line of intersection will break
and - and cause you to be left with
either one face or two separate •faces
not touching each other as we have
_'-- in this cube. And that seems to have
been demonstrated by this little
tetrahedron as well. Let me snatch
out another - another loop of -
all right, it's been two minutes, we -
2-1/2 minutes, I beg your pardon -
on the cube, and it's still hanging
in there. And we've got 15 seconds
on the hoop now.

02h 22 09 36 CDR Okay, Well, I think we're about out

of film - cut off television tape
time, so we'll have to - we'll have
to terminate with that. But I think
the principles have been shown here
that stability has to do with the
amount of fluid that you can get,
and the thinner the fluid, the
less stable.
/

024 22 09 56 CDR And if you have an intersection of two

faces on a fluid intersection,
that it's an unstable situation.

at 22:24. They were both pretty much

20:51, there was one extra position
for 55 and that was plus 300
in UP/DPWM and minus 1300, LEFT/RIGHT.
I did one MIRROR, AUTO RASTER there.
I figured that was probably the best
position as it's where we've seen
most of the enhancements in the
corona and also close to the area
where we've seen a lot of the surging;
close in terms of radial direction,
although not completely on - on top
of it. I perhaps would have chosen
the plus 50 in UP/DOWN had I put it
right on top of the surging, were it
closer to the surging. But the build-
up in the corona at 120 made me choose
that one. Okay, in the second orbit we
did the same thing. And it's at 22:24.

1 Bravo completed per pad. And
the rest of the pass was not

here and I saw all this printing.
I've done nothing but JOP 6 and
several things here for so long
that I didn't - I didn't even
figure on doing anything like this.
Therefore, I did not accomplish
J0P 25, WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH

teleprinter errors, to tell you
the truth, when I saw all this
printing down here. And as I said,
I've been giving - given nothing

we want to go to 1 - we want to be
reading 8.9. All right. And our
TILT is 0.
/
025 Ol 26 14 CDR We have a discone antenna. However,
it is again displaced from where I've
seen it. It is now - the - the - the
point on the diseone that I have
always ponted to and that I have
always referred to has been the
inner section of the cone itself
and the rold that the cone is
mounted on. And the cone I'm talking
about is the - the only one out
there, the - the reflector part
of the antenna. All right, I'm
going to rotat - rotate to get
rhat cone, that inner section, that
point of reference, until it's on the
vertical center side. All right,
it's on the vertical center line
at this time. And I'm reading 7.0
on the ROTATION dial.

025 Ol 27 07 CDR Now, if I put that point over where

it was the very first time I looked at
the zero, which was some 30 days
ago, I guess, we get a reading of
5.7. Now, back in those good old
days, I was getting 0.0. Now, if
I put 0.0 on this rascal, there isn't
Dump Tape 025-01
Page 6 of 6

even an antenna int he field of

view. So the question now, Houston,
is what's zero? Where is the
antenna when we're zero? Where
is the reference point I'm talking
about? Is it on the edge at 6:30
like it used to be in the very,
very beginning? Or is it on the -
the center vertical datum line?

025 Ol 28 19 CDR So as I said before, it's 5-7 if

it's at 6:30 at the edge of the field
of view. If the inner section fo
the cone and the support rod is on
the vertical line it's 7.0. And the
la - latest place you've got - got
it pointed has been at 8.9. So
quite frankly, I am very hopelessly
confused about where zero is. And
you justtellme whereto start,
and I'll start, and you worry about
zero - where zero is, because I
give up. I Just - I can't make hide
nor nair out of what's going on. But
every time I use what is supposed
to be zero, or the starting point,
and look out at the discone antenna,
it's in a different place. And it's
in a different place by something
like 2 degrees. And so I don't know
what to tell you. And I don't
know how - wha_ - whether or not
to tell you your data's any good.
I guess you'll know that. So this
is CDR terminating, i'll retract the
mirror, and that will be the end
of the SO19.

TIME SKIP

025 12 05 07 PLT Okay, this is the PLT starting

Mh87 on page 3-6 Evaluate the overall
adequacy of the equipment provided to
accomplish routine and unscheduled
maintenance tasks and the design
acceptability of the tasks themselves
from the point of view of access,
logistics management during assembly/
reassembly, tool and component/parts
restraint, and overall ease of task
accomplishment. Start out by saying
tool and component/parts restraint
is virtually nonexistent when moving
F things when holding them in place
prior to installing them. This is a
general comm_ent that holds for
everything, and I don't think this
is quite what the problem - the
question is directed toward - the
problem that the question is directed
toward, hut it is definitely the
case. Once I have something that's
screwed into position, it's restrained
fine. But while I got that thing in one
hand and I got something between my
legs and a tool in each - in the other
hand and trying to keep myself from
floating around, therein lies the
problem. So even having a restraint
for an item prior to putting it in
any other use location ... sensation
%mless yo_ have a good body restraint
to go along with it. Because if you got -
you're going to have to hav_ a tool
Dtunp Tape 025-02
Page 2 of 5

in there unless the thing is retained

in positio_ in awork case or a location
prior to installation of screws, bolts,
_uts, washDrs, whatever else is going to -
straps - whatever else is going to be
used to hold it into the - where it's
used. That's the part of the task that
requires a problem.

025 12 06 57 PLT One - a good example is the window

protectors, the S190A window protector.
I find it sort of irritating to try
to get that thing started that's
screwed into the position. It's
mu - it's much easier to put in the
stowage location in the MDA during
S190 activities. It actually has
to be taken off of the S190 window
and stowed. I find it much easier
to put it in the stowage location
than I do to put it back in the use
location where it's protecting the
$190A window. Of course, we've
already commented on the complete
lack of assistance in - in terms
of crew restraints in the MDA in
general. Okay. So these - these - that
is a general statement. It applies
to almsot everything - is that
there's no temporary restraints at -
either in the dome lockers when
you're taking stuff out - getting the
PCU's out was a real fierce task.
We had to replace a PCU, and those
things were bolted in there with
stillson wrenche@ or something and
that was a real - real chore there.
Until we - to get those out. And
there's no re - body restraint
around the dome locker. Your -
your - yonr feet - you cmn p_t your feet
i_ the ring_, and a lot of times that's
great, but if - sometimes you have
to come out of there in order to get
 Dump Tape 025-02
Page 3 of 5

up close enough to the item to -

to work on it. So a lot of times a
foot foot-in.the-ring foot restraint
wasn't good enough, particularly if
the item was located high in the
locker or in the lid of the locker.

025 12 08 31 PLT OkaY. Too_ kit l, tool kit 2 doesn't

mean a thing to me. I don't know what -
what that is. Let's see here - the
tool inventory, that's where we go.
The repair kit, I don't know what
that is. The 190 maintenance kit,
I assume that those are the items
up in the - locker 130, but I don't
know what that specifically is.
M512 12 tools, processing facility,
EMU maintenance kit. Okay, maintenance,
the - they're - Shey're - I should
say okay. Miscellaneous support
.' items. Okay, we'll Just throughthem.
Taol kit l, I'm going to skip over that
because I don't know what that is.
Tool kit 2, I don't know what that is. I
think tool kit 1 is the stuff in the
experiment compartment. Tool kit 2 I
think is the one that's in the MDA - -
if that's the case, the biggest gripe
I've got about the tool kit 1 is that
the items cgme out of their stowage
locations and jam the drawers. I've
already mentioned how bad I think the
design of the drawer and compartments
are in the aft compartment of the -
of the workshop. HOw they're always -
Well, it's Just everything about them
is bad. Stuff - they - they have -
they're studk in there. You can take
50 pounds of force to pull the two
out at on@ time, and then the next
time you put,it in there, it floats free
and Jams the drawer. SO I don't - I'm
at a loss to explain how this happens.
But the - the Mozite cutout method of
restraint is Just - is not satisfactory
as far as _'m concerned. You've got an
f
Dump Tape 025-02
Page 4 of 5

awful lot of items, varying in size,

and you got little tiny short socket
bits that - and - and wrenches that
just seem to - to not be retained by
the cutouts provided for them.

025 12 I0 43 PLT So that's - that was much my first

comment as far as inadequacy is
concerned, and there ought to always
be a separator between drawers to keep
stuff from the lower drawer from
coming up and jamming the - the d_awer
above. This is a general point of
philosophy that should applythroughout
the workshop is fitting this in the
film vault. Nearly everyplaee;
you're always - stuff is floating out
and it floatB from the drawer below -
veil you pull - drawer A is on top
of drawerB, say. Okay,I pull
/ drawer A out, an item floats out of
drawer B up into the space that
should be occupied by drawer A, so
when I get ready to close drawer A,
it - it pushes back in and Jams
it against the back of cabinet. It
won't close; now you got to take both
drawers out. So you take drawer B
out, so you got drawer B out, something
floats up from drawer C and gets in the
way. So you got to start all over and
start from the bottom and work up.
And it's very frustrating, and I know
that the other flights have experienced
the same problem becasue the tools that
are always floating free had been taped
in by a previous crew. I don't know
if they mentioned this or not, but it's
really a point of irritation. I think
that is a major shortcoming of the
tool kits - is the stowage provided
for them. And also the tool - the
carrying capability. We don't have -
there's a thing called a tool cady,
which is totally unsatisfactory for
holding tools.

025 12 32 i0 PLT Okay, this is the PLT continuing

debriefing. By the way I got a
little complaint against ground.
They - they schedule a debriefing
on the tape recorder and then
take the tape recorder is coming
up on that - at the very same time.
It was around - a little bit after
12 when M487-3 Delta was scheduled
and I guess I coulc have asked
them to redesi_nate ... but that's
it. I think that initiative
should come from somebody whohad
taken that away. They had some-
thing that required the tape recorder
and then casually announce that they're
takin_it. Okay and I'm throughwith
that. Tool kit number l, adequate_
tool kit number 2, adequate; repair
kit, I don't know which repair that is.
190 maintenance tool - maintenance kit
was adequate I guess except - We get
bit con - continually on stowage. And
I don't know. I guess there's really
nothing - I don't know really what
the S190 maintenance kit is, I guess.

025 12 33 30 PLT M512 tools:' the - the set in some

of the placement, particularly the
hammer for the M479 which is coming
up, which I had trained for, but
which it loQ_s like I'm not gonna
do. There were some awful close
tolerances in there on that but I
had nothing to do with tools
necessarily. _4Umaintenance kit;
The only time I tried to use that,
I screwed up the ... helmet. I
don't think there was enough
instructions there. I forgot to
squeeze all excess soap out and
I ended up with a badly streaked
helmet and had to wipe it off with
tissues.

025 12 34 07 PLT Had all kinds of good instructions

but %Then it came to ... the zippers

and doing the actual task, there
was no amplified information. I
know I had done it and had watched
it done but I still screwed it up
when I did it. The miscellaneous
support items i adequacy work sites :
Almost totally inadequate. I'd
say poor to - well, couldn't say they're
unacceptable c_sue we got the work
done. But I'd say most all work sites
are poor. Mighty few of them qualify
even as being adequate.

025 12 34 hO PLT You have to make due with ki - some

kind of restraints and use body
English and all kinds of body
muscular tension in order to hold
yourself in the right position to
F do things. That pretty well holds -
well, Just about everything.
Adequacy of on board data package :
Stowage totally inadequate.
Unacceptable. It's just not directed
against the people who do the stowage
hooks as such,

025 12 35 07 PLT I mean I don't want this to - to be

interpreted as a slap in their face.
I think - but my statement stands
and I think that we Just got -
this morning we got bit again.
Things csl]ed out in Jerry's checklist
for doing - there was something - one
of the demos, he took pictures of the
copper nitrate crystal .... Well, the
little mickey moust Drocedure in
the TV ops book di_Ln't call out a
bunch of stuff and of course they
very cleverly @_nv location for a -
a K-I extension which is p_rt of
the T025 equi_nent. Now, I mean when
you're talking about a TV demon-
str_tion which - you're doing copper
nitrates crystals and you don't
J_-_ call off the - and yet you call
off an item that is associated
Dt_np Tape 025-03
Page 3 of 12

with an entirely, completely different

experiment you got to at least
have the courtesy to give us the
location of that item.

025 12 35 58 PLT And that item is not listed in the

stowage books. I think it is listed
under T025 but if you're trying to
find K-I extension, man, you're
in deep yogurt unless you already
know where it is.

025 12 36 09 PLT Then, of course, you don't need %0

look in the books. My point is this,
again I don't want this to be inter-
preted as a slap in the face to the
people who work on the stowage books
cause the - they did -Imost everything
we asked. We asked them to put - to
locate the stuff under all this garden
variety terms of reference. Well,
that wasn't always done. But I
guess I didnlt know them all. And
brings up the poing that people who
are responsi%le for a given experiment
also ought to be responsible for
seeing that the items that they have
in their - all equipment associated
with their experiment of hardware
or whatever it is, is properly called
out in the stowage books.

025 12 36 h5 PLT In that the - this is the thing that

costs us time, too many hours of
wasted time trying to find things.
Yeah, we may even - I haven't heard
of the K-1. Most of the things that
I can't find at least I'd heard of.
But it seems people are very - I take
it, completely negligent in trying
to check the documentation that
covered the equipment. I'd say
-Imost - well, they are grossly
negligent b_ause a lot of the items
that they call out aren't even in
the stowage book. Or they are located
in such a remoteplacethat one would
Dump Tape 025-03
Page 4 of 12

never - never find them unless he

already knew that -as I say, already
knew all about the equilmnent. And
that, of course, is not the idea
of a stowage book. A stowage book
_s supposed to be a road map for you.
Okay that's mainly the data package.

025 12 37 22 PLT Adequacy of preflight prep for

maintenance task: For the things
that I did, they were good. For
the M1 - sIgB, for the primary
coolant loop repair and let's see,
the S192 cooler door replacement
cut by one - one point - one point
on that. I got two or three ....
By and large, those things that we
knew were go_L_a be hard and we
practiced for, we did quite well.
It's the ad hoc stuff that always
bites you. Scheduled replacement
items, soldier traps :_ No problem.
Mol siene charcoal canisters: That
is Just a little tricky but the
procedure went well.

025 12 38 16 PLT The PPC02 inlet/outlet cartridges:

Very poorly designed. Those things
are, you know, as far as - it's
actu - its such a 'simple thing that
a child could do it. Well, a child
can do it b_$ he has no guarantee
that they are gonna function
properly when he puts them i_ there.
And I_don't want to go into it
other than to say that the - you
never were certain it was not a
simple pull _nd replace type
operation in order for the thing to
function properly. I don't know
what the problem was on that. I'd
like to flag that item as a - in a
point of - sort of irritation, as
something that's supposed to be a
i0 minutetask and it endsup taking
about half an hour before you can
get the_ functioning properly. And
That's mainly, I think, the inlet ...
 DL_np Tape 025-03
Page 5 of 12

025 12 38 58 PLT PP02 cartridges: Never changed them.

EVA/IVA cool gas seperator: Well, I
think the firing squad is in order
if that's the one that you're talking
about up there on 217, for the people
that designed that little gem. Now
that is pretty bad really. That is a
real hand-cut t er-and-knuckly-bust er
operation. The -the coolant gas
separator that's above the 0 2 panel.

025 12 39 B2 PLT I would talk - I - I have a few well-

chosen words that I would like to go
into later and I don't - I want to flag
that item as a - as a major dum-dum
on the part of the designer. Because
that is awful hard to get to. The -
the actions are difficult. You have
to - this - this is sortof a black
magic operation all the way around.
You never know - it can't - say I'm
gonna go up there and undo these ...
and then redo the ... within l0 minutes.
And we could try and sometimes you get
them right on right way. In fact, I
got - did not waste a whole lot of
time on the .,. flight except on one
connector.

025 13 40 07 PLT That WMC vent filter: no problem.

WMC char - charcoal c_nisters: No
problem. Fecal collector filter:
No problem; we had practiced that.
Urine separators: Did not do.
Scheduled cleaning items. OWS air
mixing chamber screens: 0lay, that's
no problem. WMC vent filter: No
problem. 0-AMfOWS- circ filter
screens - AM, We changed them.
Unschedule replacement item,
fans: I - I replaced the - the
exchange fans. The stowage -
things there - usually there is one
strap or something that ought to be
taken - a metal strap or something
./'--_ that ought to be taken off first.

025 12 h0 50 PLT I got bit on this one, the OWS

heat exchanger fans. That ought
/

to be color coded somehow or

the other. Say the - some color
for the first one to take off or
some color for the don't ... into
this one sort of thing. Because
it'll sllp out. And that's how I
got bit on that. I'll tell you more
about that later. WMC fans - valves.
Now - now, did I change these valves?
NoDe, not that I know of. Seals, lights,
others. Oh, forgot the PCU when I
siad that. That was Just a little hit
of a surprise getting ... so that's
Just a little bit of dlfficutly
getting in on that that thing.
Unscheduled repair items; identify

Earth observations handheld photography.
The area of concern is around
Lake Victoria, about 200 miles
northwest of Lake Victoria, I guess
Stanleyville and to the - mainly
to the east_ofStauleyville.I did
not see Stanleyville itself. I noted
that a rather peculiar land pattern
which was obviously a land use
pattern. There was also a quite
a bit of flash burning going on
down there. ADd I noticed that there
is little or no - none of the
rectilinear patterns that we usually
see in cultivated areas. The pattern
- land use patterns in this particular
area were very much cellular. They
obviously followed the topography
rather than following the ... And
so I got two photos of that. One
with a Nikon 300-millimeter lens
and that's on Charlie X-ray ***
frame number 62, taking at h.5, i/i000.

025 13 04 51 CDH And I also _ot an overview with the

Has6elblad of the same area at the
same time amd that was Charlie X-ray 18
frame number_ 74. These were taken
at about 12:50 Zulu. And then as we
went over Lake Victoria I Just looked
at it with the - with an eye towards
 D_mp Tape 025-03
Page 8 of 12

circulation patterns and I did notice

a rather perculiar circulation
pattern down on the south end of the
lake. In fact it didn't look like
circulation, it looked like
maybe we could see through ,the water
and see a sand bar underneath, l'm
not sure but, at any rate, I took
another Nikon picture. This was
• at 12:52 on Charlie X-ray h3,
frame number 61 taking at h.5 over
i/i000. And then down to the
southeast of Lake Victoria - I might
add here as a parenthetical note
that my purpose of looking at this
area was to try to get the pictures
of NHII0-h. The - the area was
scattered to broken clouds and do
my - my picturea are takne in

see the ground. But I could
not see much of the HH10h [sic]
type informstion, however, I did
find an area that - in the clouds -
between the clouds southeast of
Lake Victoria which I THOUGHT I
would go ahead and take with the -
the Hasselbald. So that's frame
number 75 taking a f/ll, 1/250
and the idea here _i8 possibly
there might - somebody on the
ground reading this photo might
ba able to see something geological
there that - that I can't see

of all, I'd like to go back and
make one addition to She orbit
which begam _ 13:51. A/id that is
that the exposure thane in 82]3 at
allegedly 400 K, I took the order
in which things written on the pad
and perhaps we shoul_ "not have -
It said 0h:58, h00 K - taken a
WAVELENGTH - 82B - WAVkn,_C/fH LONG
82B exposure, i second, Following that
it said_ put the SUNRISE/SUNSET switch
to Sun. NOw that I look at it it was
probably that that switch shoDld have
gone to Sun before that step hec@use
that h00 K tide does not correlate with
me. 03:39 time we have for hOOK tods_,
and it's probably Just that difference
of a little over a minute. If the
_- objective was to get_a [sic] undisturbed
or - a picture of the %red we were
looking without any perturbations by the
atmosphere, then essentially we got it.
It may he a minute earlier than bOO K, but
it sl%ould still be Just ms good.

SPT And going _ack to the - on the next orbit,

orbit which hesse at 13:51. And again,
@ues_ that missed this one. That was
the TV downlink, and I'll try to pick
th@t information up on the next pass when
I do have the oppo;t%mity. H-al- looking
at H-alpha 1•zoomed out and seeing where
the _-81pha imgge _ceases to move. I did
point out on a previous orbit that around
i0 minutes -,or i0 seconds before the zero
TIME R_MAINI_G - with th_ timing and
suddenly I did start tosee the display
oscillate quht @ a bit. That, however, was
in a situation where I was not able to
observe the d/splay accurately. Sort of
last minute _c_use I was taking an exposure.
So I would _ or I had to do that. one over.

pretty much as specified, a _ouple of
little devia$ions here. O_e is the
first pointing, which was supposed to
be 8 arc seconds off the limb. I found
the limb to be at 81 and trying to go
out to aroun_ 898 was not pos_ible_
989 is one of the those nt_ber that
Marshall won't give us, So we ended
up with 990_ that's 9 are seconds
off the limb. The I went 9 - The
next one I wanted to go zoom to 12 arc
seconds off the limb, but I thought well,
maybe I ought to go their 4 so they get
that spacing in there proper anyways,
which would have put me out at 994.
Unfortuneat_ly that 's another number
that we can't get, so I went badk 8nd
did it at 993, which is 12 arc seconds
F" off the limb, which was what was specified.
The l_8t one 20 arc seconds off the limb,
straightforward, no problem. It had to

the idea of the soft packaging is
all right. However,I would like
to see something a little bit
softer which would encompass or
hold it in a little better yet.
This stuff i find gets rigid and
tends to harden a little bit and
it's hard to insert a tool and then
after you've got it exerted sometimes,
or after you have it inserted, it
might sometimes still work it's way
out as the material is hard and it -
not re - not resilient as it should
be. And in many cases, you don't
get the tool in there perfectly
and it does work its way out and
that ma_es a hard time when you're
trying to open drawers with the
tool - in that drawer, one under-
neath it coming out of its storage
location. Also let me talk about
the digital thermometer stowage
while that is on my mind. I don't
 Dump Tape 025-05
Page 2 of 28

know if anyone has ever tried it,

but it sure takes a good amount of
crew time to fit that ... probe back
into its stowage location and wind
the little wire through the devious
course that it takes in the packing
material. That is an experiment in
itself. There's got to be an easier
way to package that. Okay, looking
at the - the h_mer, CBRM b_mer
worked great, pinch bar worked great.
Never had any use of feeder handle.
Splice - or the C-clamps worked great ;
no problems. As I pointed out, the
screwdrivers - the previous one, I
needed a larger blade, something
between the - say greater than a
3/16, 1/_, or 5/16. Unfortunately,
we got a 3/8 blade which turned out
to be too large. On that one when
I was working on my shoes. Then
all the little Allen wrenches -
There's gotta be a better way to pack-
age them than that. We've got them
in a little bag which is Just as
bad. That's a whole host of extra
ones. In the drawer here, we've got
tape over - holding all these things
down. All of the Allen bits and
Allen wrenches - There's Just gotta be
a better way to package than that.
I would think something where you might
Just exert the tool in the long way
and just have the one part sticking
out. The - the one end - But again,
that would take a lot of stowage
volume. On the other hand, you
could probebly use - Maybe it wouldn't
take any more volume, when you think
about it. Have to be a very deep
drawer, but it would contain many
mere tools. The way we have it
right now, however, is Just - it's
really hard to work with, expecially
--- for very smallitems.

025 16 09 B0 SPT Okay, that was drawer B I was looking

at. I looked at 1 Alfa and now I'm
looking at 1 Charlie. Okay, those
Dump Tape 025-05
Page 3 of 28

tools - Boy, I've used the - the

extensions for science demos, not
for their intended purpose, however.
They worked great for the science
demos. Never had to use any of
the other sockets, although I'm
sure they work - Oh, yes I have,
in taking some of the bolts off the
floor to get the foot restraints off.
The - by the casting platforms or the
by the wardroom table. Those foot
restraint platforms, we used the
ratchet handle then, some of the
standard sockets here. They worked
great; no problems. It's an awkward
Job Just because the way it was located,
but the tools worked great. Wrenches,
next drawer, 1 Delta and, man, I'm
using some of those on that Job.
It 's no problem. Mechanic al fingers.
I never have had to use those things
although before flight, I thought I
would. Retrieval mirror. Never
have had to use those - those fellows.
Glad to say. Okay, tool kit number 2.
Lacing the wire I've used time and time
again. Found that it'd be exceptionally
useful. The 2-inch tape we found to
be exceptionally useful and wish we
had more of them. We went through
it. Velcro. If we had good Velcro
it'd be a11 right. This Velcro doesn't
stick, that the m, le and female don't
stick and the balloon that's on the
back of the Velcro is poor. Let
me resolve in here, you should have
put a couple of wads of bubble gum
in here and they would have worked
Just as well. That Velcro is - is
lousy. We ought to get that good
Velcro and quit piddle - picking
around with this stuff. It's Just -
We've had it on the spacecraftfor
a long time.

025 15 ii 54 Sl°T It Just doesn't do the Job and it's

more a problem than it's worth.
Dump Tape 025-05
page 4 of.28 .

!025 16 ll-59 SPT You put it on something, you expect

it to do the Job and it doesn't, then
you gotta find another way of doing
it. The way you loose a couple of cue
cards, the way you loose whatever you
happen to be tieing down. I think it's
time we Just ca_ up with a good Velcro
and used it. We've got it. Either
make it fireproof or relax some of
the constraints. What we're using now
is Just not Worth it. Not doing the
Job. One-inch red tape. Never had
to use very much of that. A couple
of occastions, at quarter-inches. Tape,
not too muchscissors, we've got them
all - a11 the scissors from all the
tool kits in the wardroom now. We
use those for the - the meals. They
work a lot better on the food packages
than the other ones we have, which
'cause they'r e a lot easier to use,
don't require much force in cutting
those so that we don't need those
especially strong ones that we carry
around in our pockets. Needle nose
pliers and pin straighteners I have
used both of those and great - slip
Joint pliers, used those. Connector,
channel locker - channel lock, used
that - connector pliers, I'm sorry,
I've used that. Channel lock, I have
not. Vise grips, I've used on
occasion, sometimes with a handhold
and right now I'll say they're worth-
while. Keep them in there. Lubricant,
I've used them in the ... for science
demos. To lubricate some of the
rotating pieces I've yet to put together,
I found it useful for that. In
terms of lubricating anything mechanical
that filters the spacecraft, no.

025 16 13 54 SPY Tweezers I've not had to use but

I imagine they would work pretty well.
And ring extractor, I've not used or
nor O-ring lubricant. Ald the O-rings
we had - generally are working with
around the suits and we've got our own
lubricant there. Crescent wrench, never
 _ Dump Tape 025-05
Page 5 of 28

had to use that. The experiment handle,

no. Cutter pliers is missing so I'm
not sure whether we would have ended
up using that or not. Oh, boy, here
we go. I gotta ... what I was talking
about. In drawer Echo we have a couple
bags of extra tools and the cement.
I'll say, hey, one thing we haven't
used and that's the cement. So you
pocket ... either 1 hour in - into
5 minutes, but especially 5 minutes.
Sometimes you're doing a job and you
want it done in the forseeable future.

025 16 14 49 SPY And so you find that a 5-minute Job

works the best when you've used almost
all of that. Would have used more as
a matter of fact at the beginning of
the mission had we not thought that -
we realized we were going to slow
down and then use this rate. We had
/_ lots of things running too early in
the mission. And we held off because
we didn't want to use it all up then.
And - But as the misson progressed
we found that we had most things
squared away and we didn't need it
and the ... they seem brief w_th
me, so we've ended up with some here
at the end of the mission, and ...
later, net result - that - what that
says is you ought to have plenty up
here so that you don't have that -
that concern initially. And we got
a little bag of Allen srenches in
there, which we've collected from
various - various things - various
pieces - aread ... got up there
Allen wrenches. I like the ATM
artillery timer inslallation.

025 16 15 59 SPT And ... for ... 2 Echo closed all

the way because we've got some pockets
back there.

025 16 16 06 SPT And we can take that out. Knowing

you need a hag and then putting it
in the drawersdoesn'twork too well
Dump Tape 025-05
Page 6 Of 78

because suppose the bag pops out and

the ... comes up with the - the bag.
You need draw strings, first the pliers
not closed properly. Then again we
could probably rig up something which
would be better than that - in terms
of ... these items, but you're too busy
working experiments, trying to get
data to try and fix the place up in
terms of the optimal working conditions.
Can figure they'd wasted more time
than be gaining. I think - already got
the comet across the board here on that
all of - all of the ad hoc maintenance
and so forth. But you probably - we
can see if more things that co - could
be done from t_ to time but it's a
question of where you spend your time,
getting data or improving the ways
of getting it. Repair kit. Never had
to use it, thank goodness. Well, I
shouldn't say that completely. We used
the - the Velcro strips out of there
which are bad also. That's where I
got the Velcro. That's pretty much
it. We've never had to use any of
the blister patches and I - I hope no
one ever has to. S190 maintenance
kit and 512 I've not worked - EMU
maintenance kit. What little maintenance
I have done on them - not really main-
tenanee, we've not had to repair a
suit at all. We've Just done the
normal, working with the zippers and
borings, lubrications, anti-fog, and
so forth, normal things before and
after an EVA. And I found that tends
to be - the way things are packaged
to work out great and no real problem
in there.

025 16 18 2h SPT And the only thing I would recommend

is that they include a little more
lubricant pad for lubricating zippers.
 Dump Tape 025-05
Page 7 of 28

025 16 18 30 SPT I know that there are marvels around

who are able to take one lubricant
pad and make it cover a whole zipper
and all the 0-rings. But I don't have
that dacility. I have not been ablie to
to do that - or I can do it, I think,
at least, then barely scraping a little
bit of fuse On something and everything
as I go over it. But I don't think
it's really doing the Job. and towards
the end of the mission here, we have
a few excess so I'm using them more than
it specifies Just to make sure the Job
gets done. Never had to work with
any sewing or anything else in the
EMU maintenance ket. Working sites.
Better make sure we really have any
work sites. Now maybe the 512 and S192
but a work site is wherever you have
to glue yourself down. And we're usually
able to come up with that something that
will work. WE've got a - alreadyhave
debriefing on that work bench and so
sorth. I won't go into that one again.
Adequacy of lighting. No problem.
On-board data package. And again I'm
not the big maintenance man, so l've
not really done mu - much of the -
we really had no problem with it. What
we're doing is ... have them charter
it. And let's see, of preflight pretp
for maintenance tasks. Again, I'll
let Bill answer that one. So I'll
look throught these scheduled main-
tenance taska. I can see couple of
them which I've done on the ground.
And I really haven't done any of the
scheduled replacement items. Scheduled
cleaning. Air mix chamber screens,
ows vent filter and circulation filter
and circulation filter screens in the
8_1/OWS ,

025 16 20 30 SPT The work problem there is we've got

a vacuum cleaner. It's probably got
about as - as much suction as a normal
 Dump Tape 025-05
Page 8 of 28

vacuum cleaner running at one-quarter

speed. It just doesn't do it. I think
we've Just got to get ourselves a much
stronger vacuu_ cleaner. You can get
the Job done but it Just takes infinite
patience sometimes and continually doing
over the same area, Just because of the
air flow, it's so darn low. I realize
... is down by three but we showed six
still be able to I guess doubling the
velocity, you got yourself over and
abot what you had before. That's ground
relative to a fourth or 15 feet of
thi versus pi. Never had to replace
the fan, the valve, seal, lights. Okay,
other repair items. I can't think of
any off hand, And I was - been trying
to think of that ever since I picked
up this book. And I'm sorry I can't.
If I encounter or come across anything
I'iitry to get backwith you. In
other words, if I've - remember some-
thing which I have donw which was
_" unscheduledand of a maintenancetask,
I'll try to get back to you. I think
most of the work I've done is Jerry-
rigging things, picked kup with the
science demos and, boy, me that's -
some of that stuff has really called
for some excessive detailed pains,
taking Jerr-rigging. And most of them
were not - not well put together on
the ground and pretty much depend upon
the guy up here to do the Job and ...
the charged particle on so many demon-
strations. Let me say that one more
mutual thing I found up here is great
t ape.

025 16 23 lh SPT For example, 15 minutes before I

started this briefing'I had to take a
tape Up, part of the S063 zone
experiment facility.

025 16 23 34 SPT The gear is made and assembled in

such a fashion that it's loose, and
_ wobbles. So that while you're trying
DumpTape025-05
Page 9 of 28

to get _go_od pictures-aud you're tracking,

you keep wobbling the camera all around
and get nothing but something considerably
less than the inst_ent resolution
capability. So I've ended up taping
the camera to the thing which it's
allegedly attached to, to hold it
firmly. It '_ used all the time to -
Just take a strip of tape, lay it out
and turn the corners over so it's
held down on the surface and theen you
can just put all kinds of things on
the tape. Just normal courses of
thing, it's done all the time, is that
standard mode of living. I'll get
back to you On unscheduled maintenance
if anything comes up.

PLT Close and latch 191 to cover. I

did that. RECORDING's OFF.

PLT Yeah.

SPT Yeah. Sure do. Okay. Okay, let

me try to go back over this. First
of all, in the tracking, the first
two, the last exposures were - there
were not enough time in order to make
both exposures for the _ength of
Dump Tape 025-05
Page 27 of 28

travel that we had. First one of

course, there was more difficulty
than that because I managed to
get my arm trapped in the tracking
gear, as I had it held down in
there in order to get the UV
filters changed from 27 to 32,
zero, zero.

PLT ... Jer.

025 17 35 30 SPT We did, however, I managed to get

four extra sets in the first one,
one extra one which was strictly -
we did not get the second trip,
we got too far up and I realize
that we didn't take the second
exposure and that was - real time
recording yo_'ll have to pick up
exactly which one that one was.

CC Skyalh, this is Houston through

Ascension for 4-1/2 minutes. Out.

SPT And lastly, on frames 13 and 14 -

our timer malfunctioned, that is,
probably the battery gave out
and we did not pick up the last two
exposures there, but we did get
overall - a net gain of six. So,
we'll have to check out the battery
timer - the timer battery.

CC ...

SPT Micro switch nor the push button on

the timer would make it function.

CC . .. Okay, READJUST . ..

SPT What I did after the first two

exposures was to move the -
setting down to 20, in order to
make the length of travel work.
It turnedout on the firsttwo that
when I was taking the 8 second ex-
posure, I would run into STOP

before the exposure was complete.

get byona pad.

fairly good sets in there of - of
tracking. Stand by and I'll give
you the FRAME COUNT.

CC ...

025 17 37 39 SPT Ahh, no wonder we have flat depleted

the film. We're down to zero, that's
why the timer did not function.
Okay, so we got most we could out
of this film cassette. I didn't
have time to check it when I
was running. Okay, so on BD-49
we stopped them all. Now reading

put the switch in REFERENCE. I
left it in au - GRATING, AUTO SCAN
and whistled right through zero.
Caught it about 20 or so had to
turn it loose again, And that got
me a little bit behind, but since
I was following it with observing
time I it d_dn't hurt too much and
got all the data. Then I got into
my observing time and Just, essentially,
did a sweep around the limb and looked
for surges and prominences and
located the prominence 85. It's
beginning to look a little peaked.
And noticed a surge of activity
down at about 130 on the limb.
Appears to be well south of active
z region33, but in the XUV MON, it's
in the - in the bright area that's
going around the' corner. You know,
the - the bright fireSthat's on the -
the southeast - correction, southwest
limb there, w_ere active 30 - active
region 33 is going over the hill.
The very southernmost end of that
is where this little surge is located.

025 19 3h 17 CDR That was the last one I noticed, but

_Idn't really have much time to do
anything with it since my JOP 2 Delta
time was rushing upon me. I noticed
another small surge up at about 310
on the limb, add I suspect that
probably is connected with filament
number 88. The XUV M0N is getting
more and more uninteresting. About
the only good thing you can say about
it today is it's sure got some deep
coronal holes, and that's Just about
it. There's been no significant change
in either the WHITE ,LIGHT CORONAGRAPH

Wait a minute now, I think - well,
I went ahead and did building block 32

apparently H-ALPHA 1 door did not

CDR We Just finished Earth resources

_urvey pass just a few minutes ago,
and I thought I'd take this opportunity
th show you solne of the Earth resources
equipment that we use on these passes.
Now, what I'm dQing at the moment is

unloading the magazines from the

multispectral camera and stowing
these magazines for use at the next
EREP pass which will probably be
tomorrow sometime.

PLT Hold on, Jer ... go.

025 21 42 03 CDR l'm swinging the multispectral

cameras backt to the stowage
position so tha I can show you what
the cameras look like. Now the - the
cameras take pictures of the Earth
two different wave lengths. One
is in the visible wavelength which
is this row of cameras of here. And
then we have the IR cameras, the
intra - infrared cameras that take
pictures_n _ wavelengththat can-
not be secn by the eye.

PLT ... Okay, we're setting up ...

025 21 42 51 CDR But we also have several others

_ensors in the Skylab, program,
suh as electronic scanners that
can see wavelengths that even our
multispectral cameras can't see.
We also have scanners in different
wavelengths with microwave sensors
in order to be able to even see
through the clouds. Now, Earth
resources needs all different kinds
of wavelengths and each wavelength
kinda has it's own purpose. The
visible wavelength - -

PLT Hey, Jer. .,. move back out and

CDR Okay.

PLT Start over on the C*D panel and

... tha a_ain.
Dump Tape 025-07
Page 6 of 9

025 21 43 32 CDR All right. We'll just start over

on the C&D oanel then. Skylab has
high resolution electronic scanners
that can record images in wave-
lenghts that even our special
cameras can't record and that is
controlled by this part of the control
panel you see right here. We also
have some microwave sensors controlled
by this part of the control panel
you see right here. We also have
some microwave sensors controlled by
this area down here. And these
microwave sensors can see right
through the clouds. Now the different
wavelengths that we have for Earth
resources evaluation have very
special purposes. The visible wave-
lengths are - are best suited for
geology and mapping purposes. And
the infrared wavelengths are best
for agricultural purposes and the
microwaves give us our best informa-
tion in oceanography and weather.

PLT Moving out. Moving out.

025 21 44 56 CDR Okay?

go.

PLT Go.

025 21 47 26 CDR Just a little while ago, we finished

%n Earth reasources survey pass and
I thought l'd t_ike this opportunity
to show you some of our Earth
resources equipment. What I'm doing
right new is l'm removing the
magazines from our multispectral
cameras, arid l'm going to stow these
magazines for use in our next Earth
resources pass which will probably
be tomorrow sometime.

PLT Fixing to back out again. Get ready

to go. Go.

025 21 48 i0 CDR What I'm doing now is moving the

array of multispectral cameras back
to their stowage position and the
Dump Tape 025-07
Page 8 of 9

reason why l'm doing it is just to

give you folks a little better
chance to see wht our cameras look
like. Now we take photographs with
these cameras in two wavelengths.
One is done with these last three
cameras in this row here. And
those cameras take pictures in the
visible light that the eye can see.
These three forward cameras here
take pictures in the infrared wave-
lenghts in which thy human eye
cannot see.

PLT ... Okay.

CDR Okay, now ever here on my right, I'd

like to show you the control and
display panel that we use for Earht
resources. You know, we also have
some high resolution electronic
scanters - scanners that can record
data in wavelengths taht even our
multispectral cameras can't see.
And that is these - these two rows
of switches and things right here
that do that. We sAso have microwave
sensors which are controlled by
this area of thy panel down here. And
thes@ microwave sensors can make
it through and see the ground even
through clouds. Now, in Earth
resources, there are several wave-
lengths and -that we look at, and
each kinda has it's own special
purpose. The visible wavelengths
are really best suited for geology
and mapping. And the data we get on
the infrared wavelenghts is really
best suited for agriculture and the
microwaves are used in the photo-most
part in our studies of oceanography
and weather.

located in the area of Nigeria and
Chad, and Cameroun. I would estimate
that the line of the fire is - It
was a long elliptical area of many -
many fires. I would guess that it's
probably 2 to 300 miles long, and
probably 50 to 60 miles wide. And
there were many, many, many fires.
I wish that I'd had a camera with
the right kind of tilm in it. I
think it would have been an excellent
picture. And then off to the south
of these fires, there was an overcast
with many thunderstorms, and many,
many bright fa - flashes of lightening
going Qn at the same time.

026 02 07 12 CDR It was a spectacular night scene;

and I - I presume that the fires we're
looking at are - are flash burnings.
As I remember, as we made our descending
pass this morning through Africa -
On severag occasions we've reported a
lot of smoke in this area and this
morning down around the area of
Stanleyvillei I reported soma peculiar
looking land-use patterns down there;
and some smoke areas indicating
probably flash burning.

026 02 07 47 CDR And I think it's very interesting that

we could see this at night, and it's
so clearly laid out that I think it
would make a terrific picture. I'm

The subject is F_rth observation
handheld photography. With the
Hasselblad 100 at 13:41, I got a
picture in she area of Nigera,
Cameroon, and the equatorial
Guinea or extensive slash burning.
This is the area of slash burning
that I indicated last night - but
that I took and I didn't take
a picture but that I was looking out
of the command module window and
noticed a huge area of slash
burning on the nightside pass.
This is the area in the daylight and
you can see from the smoke that the
area is very, very extensive. It's
frame number 90_ Charlie X-ray 18_
it was taken with an f/ll, 1/250.
And at 13:1;7, we started looking for
HH-151 and - Well, I guess that's
the Botswana swamp. And it was

any area that looked like sw_n!and.

However_ in one clearing in the

clouds, rather large clearing I
saw a lana that was very speckled.
That's all I can say. I can't -
I couldn't really tell; there was
no order to it, no indication that
it might of a have been manmade.
So I got a picture of that and
that's frame number 91, f/ll, 1/250,
with a Hasselblad, Charlie X-ray 18.
The at 13:51, when the clouds cleared,
we took another shot which was
frame 92, same f-stop and I suspect
that this is south of HH-151. But
I figured I would go ahead and get
photographic coverage of that as
long as the clouds were only scattered.

17 PLT We're continuing the study of the t0

I_ action of bubbles, and water in
19 particular. I have here a device I've --
20 made for handling bubbles in - in free
21 space. All it is is a coupleof food
22 cans with three threads stretchedbetween O
23 them, but this does enableme to man- __
24 euver the bubbles around. They're
25 quite difficult to mix, course, once -_
26 they'refloatin _ freely. This h_bhle
27 contains two small air bubbles. Now what
28 I intend to do - or hope to accomplish, _0
29 that is, aretwo things. I want to -r
Pl
SO spin this up _ud watch what happens,at DI
31 what shape the bubble will take after .4
32 it's rotatingIand possibly what the -
O
33 the bubbleifiit - if it tendsto fly X
34 apart, I'ii be able to determine more or _-
35 lessthe dynamics of the - the
38 bubble at the!point at which it actually
37 separates. Then if it does separate,
38 I would like to recombine the two pieces.
39 So, I'm going to turn my hand facing
40 you- you've made -maybe difficult
41 to see but I'm going to be rotating
42 the bubble with these threads using
43 the surface tension of the bubble. And
44 as I rotate this, the axis of rota-
45 tion will be _acing you and you will
_ be looking as if it were a wheel, you
47 would be looking at the wheel edge on,
43 L { -_

_ '- as it were. Okay, I rotated. As I

2 rotated it will assume a - a rather
3 peculiar shape, I think. It has been
4 doing this. And we'll more or less
_,i take a look at it and see what happens.

can see that this is more or less
9 elongated.
i0 !
11 026 16 B9 03 PLT And it's assumed a sort of a peanut
12 shape and another thing happens too. C
13 You'ii noticethat the bubble- the _,
14 two bubblesare therehave - are now
15 combinedand they have movedto the _:
16 centerof rotation. Course,the air is --
17 less dense or less massive than the --
18 water and the:- the water displaces
19 it at the outer edge of the rotation. Ot
20 Now I 'mgoingto attemponeother
21 thing. I would like to nudge this V,
22 into a slightly faster rotation. And O
23 see if I canget the peanutor the _
24 hot dog, as it were, to separate into -4
25 two pieces. Now you can see it sort

26 of necking down or narrowing in the

27 middle, more or less an hourglass
28 shape in the middle. There it went (D
29 now I cheateda littlebit there. I -r
30 think I - I used the - the wore - the f_
DI
31 thread itselfto - to cut the peanut. -4
32 Now I would like to maneuver the
33 two bubblestogetherand get them to O
Z
34 Join. I'll do this by using the F
35 threads to - to move them into .<
36 position with each other. The - the
37 threads themselves sort of provide
38 an interesting, dynamic response on
39 the bubble because of the surface
40 tension of the bubble. Okay, now
41 that we're getting them close together,
42 we'll try to Stabilizethe situation
43 a little bit.i See the last one there.
44 Okay, I'll start moving them down a
45 little bit. Okay, we're Just about to get

Ii 1026 17 17 G7 SPT 0kay, we starting out with building
12 block 32. That went straightforwBrd. C
13 And then we tried to work the coronal _O
14 holeproblem.And Justas I was D]
15 getting set up for it, we suggest --
I_ ...thatwe try to finda point Z
17 in the coronal hole at which
18 magnesium X is still low but
]9 oxygen VI is high, namely on a "_
20 boundary of a chromospheric
21 network. Well, first of all to
22 get linedup forthe coronal O
23 hole we had to use the XUV monitor. -q
24 We used a picturethat I had this
25 morning and the XUV monitor -r

26 itself.Theunfortunate part
27 about using the XUV monitor in
28 finding the boundary of a coroan] tO
29 hole is that it's got those little
30 fiducila marks in the center which
m
3] make everything look dark in
32 that area, and when you try to get
33 close to them - a hole boundary, 0
Z
34 you can get very easily deceived r-
35 if you actually are on one but .<
36 yoU still have plage behind you.
37 And that took a long time to
3_ _ecipher that out and to get the
39 rightroll.
4o !
41 026 17 18 12 PLT What I was hoping was that I would
42 be able to get it so i would
43 Just have step the 55 GRATING
44 6 steps to one way and then 6 steps
45 the other way to be in and out of
_6 the coroanl hole and make the
47 observations, and that would be it, !

............ and at the same time have the two

2 X-ray instruments running for a full
3 orbit. Well, it just never panned
out that way. First of all, when I
tried to get into the - establish
where it was in m_gnesium X_ I was
7 able to do that fairly well with
the boundary. Boundarywas not too
sharp, but certainly well enough
I_ for what I was workingwith, in
_ terms of plus or minus 30 arc seconds.
12 Found the magnesium X count to be less C
13 than 10 or so inside and maybe 30 5_
14 to40 outside.

35 my pointing all off. F

I
Then I decided, well, maybe I can
<
37
23 still work it at that point. But
3e
then I had lost my reference for
40 where the boundary of the hole was.
41 I had go back to magnesium X which
_2 involved taking more - another lap
43 around the grating. I went back to
4_ magnesiumX to find out where the
45 boundary was, had it squared away,
hut turned out that I was quite

37 taked me the whole orbit to get

39 no observations. What I plan to do
40 is to try to make another orbit out

026 18 20 22 SPT SPT at 18:20, ATM. I got an orbit

in here of, oh, around i0 minutes
duration beginning at 19:56.
And I got a building block 32 in
Sun center. 56 and 54 operating.
... me back on what took place
previous orbit. The problem of
trying to do what we had set out
to do of looking at magnesium
X and oxygen Vl, and trying to
find a single point with both
characteristics in a corona/ hole,
low magnesium X, high oxygen VI,
is very difficult from the fact that
we don't have displays of each at
the same time.

SC ...

- SPT So we have to mvoe the grating

around. Also the fact that the
XUV monitor requires long intregrates
and does not have the resolution
to tell when you're right at
the boundary, especially with the
tick marks on there - the overlay
over the display itself. IT's not
the overlay. I guess it's built
right into the camera, the video
system. So that does cause a -
a little bit of a problem. And it
makes what might seem like a relatively
easy thing to do exceptionally
quite hard to isntrument with the
physical hardware you got in front
of you. I think we ought to keep
that in mind and - information
di splays.

026 18 22 26 SPT SPT out.

026 18 23 45 PLT PLT. Time is 18:24, reporting handheld

photographs of Hasselblad. And
this the Bulf of Venezuela, HH83-1,

and the small bay, or lake to

the south. Two stero pairs and
one frame of an unusual outcropping
striations in the Venezuelan
interior. Those are frames 93 through
97, taken at f/8, one hun - 100
millimeter lens, 1/250.

026 18 28 47 CDR This is the CDR at 18:29 Zulu.

The subject is Earth observation,
handhelp photos. We were coming
northeast up through the Caribbean,
and I got some pictures with the
Nikon 300. And some of these
pictures are also corollated with
pictures taken by the PLT with
the Hasselblad. Over the island
of Hispaniola we noticed a fulat
in the mountains south of Port-au-
- Prince,and took a picturewith
Charlie X-ray 43, the Nikon 300.

026 18 34 Ii CDR This is the CDR at 18:3h Zulu

continuing with Earth - Earth
observation, handheld photo
debriefing, I mentioned the fault
zone in the mountains south of
Port-au-Prince, Charlie X-ray 43;
that was frame number 37, taken
at 5.6, 1/1000. Then at 18:20 Zulu,
we noticed a red area that was
east of the Port-of-au-Prince,
Port-au-Prince and it looked like
a guarry. The SPT - or PLT took
a look at it in the binoes and we
think that's what it is. But I
went ahead and took a picture Just
for interest, and that's frame
number 36, which is 5.6 or - and
1/1000. And the - my reason for
this was Just to see if we were
right,thatwas a quarry,and if -
if so it's something you can see
from this an al - altitude.

026 18 35 02 CDR Then at ,8:22 we cross the Guajira

Peninsual in Venezuela, and frames
35 through 32 covered the Guajira
Peninsula which is HH83. And the
peninsula that's across the bay
from it is final frame. That's
5.6, i/i000. Then at 18:23, LaMe
Maracaibo present itself as a good
picture. There's a lot of
sedimentation or - I don't think
it's blooming; I think it's
probably algae more than anything
else. But I took 2 frames of
that for Charlie X-ray h3. Those
are frames 31 and 30 at 5.6, 1/1000.
Then 18:24, Just inland south of
LaMe Maracaibo is a rather peculiar
looking land form, a very straited
area, very much eroded. I think I
- took a picutreof this abouta
_nth ago, and Bill and I each took
another picutre of it today, one
with the Hasselblad and one with
the Nikon. The Nikon is Charlie
X-ray 23, frame number 29; the - it
was a 5.6, 1/1000.

026 18 36 09 CDR And then at about 28, 18:28, or

18:29 - better yet, it's more
like 18:32, I guess, just as we
were crossing the South American
coast. I was looking down
between Rio and Sao Paulo, and
I noticed that sun glint was
particularly good off the coast,
and there was very good indication
of current there. So frame
number 28 of Charlie X-ray h3 is
current in sunglint, and it was
taken at 5.6, 1/lO00.

a RECORDER MALF light you assume that
all you've done is, maybe, say, a -
one-logic, but not both of them. The

have a recorderMALF light,and you
still have a READY light - excuse
me - you lost the tape motion light,

supposed to be working I think; or
maybe if the recorder MALF AND TAPE

of that ... recorder MALF light ...
by itself mean that the thing is bad.

you ass_m_ it's all right. What I
had - I had both lights out.

026 20 45 Ol CDR I'm using this toy GYRO in order to

try to demonstrate to you today, the
principle of gyroscopic precession.
You notice that this gyro is not
spinning right now. And the reason
why, is because I first want to look
at a free floating body, so that we
can just see what happens when you
put translational deflections or
translational forces on it and
rotational forces or disturbances.
Now you can see here, as I tap this
with these little staws that I'm
holding, that I force rotations and
I force translations. And you notice
there's no natural tendency of this
wheel to damp those out, or to resist
any of these forces that I'm - that
I'm putting on here. Now you notice
not only in rotation,but in transla-
tion, when I put the force on it
continues to go until I do something
to stop it.

the ...

026 20 47 23 CDR l'm using this toy gyro as a method

to try to demonstrate the principle
of gyroscopic precession. And you'll
notice that this gyro right now is
not spinning. And the reason why is
because first I want to talk about
the kinds of disturbances or forces
that are put on a gyro. Now we have
translations, which I've done and you
can see it as I translate this little
gyro as a free floating body unspinning,
that I put a disturbance on it and it
goes either in translation or rotation.
Dump Tape 026-07
Page 15 of 20

And it will keep going in tha_

direction until I do something to
stop it. It doesn't seem to have
_uy natural resistance of it's own
to motion.

026 20 50 34 CDR Let's put a string on this gyro and

spin it up, get it up to speed. And
then let's take a look again at what
happens when we put these translationals
and rotational forces on it.

CDR We've got it all spun up. And now

let's take a look at the disturbances
in translation. You notice that I push
it down, it Just keeps right on going
down. It doesn't seem to have any
resistance to translation. If I
push it to the side, it Just keeps
right on drifting. So we can see
that at least in translation, it's
still a free body. It hasn't changed
a bit.

026 20 56 43 CDR All right now, what about rotation?

What if I put a rotational force?
Let's put a couple on it in this
direction. A torque to the right.
Well look at that. I put a torque
from right to left as far as the
way you're looking, but it tilted
back. And that demonstrates the
principle of gyroscopic precession.
And what it boils down to is that -
in very simple terms - that if there -
the gyro is spinning this way, then
in - and you put a force on the
edge of the gyro wheel, say, down-
ward, what the wheel seems to do is
take the force and carry it 90 degrees
along the direction of the spin and
deflects 90 degrees away from where
you put the force in. Now there -
there in physics you can work out the
formulas and it will all be quite
plain mathematically as how it's done.
Dump Tape 026-07
Page 16 of 20

But let's Just keep it simple _'.are

and let's - using that concept, let's
see if we can get this thing to tip
back up straight again.

026 20 58 01 CDR Now, what wetll do is if we want this

front part to tip back down again,
then that means that over here, where
it's spinning toward that direction,
I need to push here and that part will
go down. So what it means it that I
need to torque in this direction, like
this. And we're doing it. And there
it is, back vertical again.

CDR Now gyros are a very valuable piece

of our equipment that we use in
space. We use gyros in order to
maintain our attitude in space. We
can move around - that is we can
translate in space, but we need to
rotate sometimes under very precise
conditions. And in our command and
service module, we have sets of gyros
that are spun up. And all we do is
we orient the axis, the spin axis
of the gyro in a given direction,
and hygelendire the one that we parti-
cularly want to orient it in. And
then - we spin the gyro up.

026 20 59 19 CDR And now the gyro will will remember

that position and it will stay there.
And any time that we move the space-
craft, if it drifts away from that
attitude, the gyro alerts the com-
puter on board the spacecraft and the
computer fires the thrusters and
essentially zeros out the error that
the gyro has sensed and puts the
spacecraft back in it's original
position. And that's what we call
ATTITUDE HOLD, the ATTITUDE HOLD.
Now gyros are very, very stable
platforms. And they need to be
stable if you're going to try to
maintain your spacecraft in an
 Dump Tape 026-07
_-_ Page 17 of 20

attitude inorder to watch the stars

or to do work on - with the Sun. Now
here in Skylab, we have these little
gyros to sense or remember our attitude,
but we also have some great big gyros
that do the moving. We don't use
thrusters as much as Skylab; we use
great big gyros.

026 21 00 23 CDR And what we do is we fasten the -

the Skylab on to these gimbals and
when our little gyros sense an error,
they sent a cow,hand to the computer.
The computer sends a torque - an
electrical torque to our great big
heavy gyros, which weigh about
140 pounds a piece and they're about
3 feet in diameter. And when they
torque this big gyro, then the - the
big gyro moves like we've been demon-
strating right here. And the big
gyro is what holds us in our position
in Skylab. Actually, we have three
big gyros and they're all are placed
in such a manner that they complement
each other.

026 21 01 23 CDR No we've taken the gyro and we've spun

it up in at top rating in it's normal
mode. Now, let's see what these very
same forces are like, that is transla-
tion and rotation. And let's see how
the gyro reacts to these force dis-
turbances now, once that we have it
spinning. All right, first of all
translation. What happens? I hit
it in translation and it Just keeps
right on going until I do something
about it.

CDR Now what about rotation? I'll put a

torque on it in this direction.

CDR And what happened? I put a torque

on it in one direction, and it rotates
in another direction, 90 degrees from
Dump Tape 026-07
Page 18 of 20

the direction in which I did the

torquing. Now that is a demonstration
right there of the principle of gyro-
scopic precession.

026 21 06 07 CDR Okay, now, establishing this principle,

or applying this _roscopic principle,
let's see if we can predict how it's
going to come back. And what I want
to do is bring the - the axis of rota-
tion back up verticle and tip it towards
you a little bit. So that means that
if I want this axis here to go down,
then the principle of precession says
that I need to push here, because
then the wheel will essentially -
will appear to transform the force
over here 90 degrees and deflect down
in that direction. So let's just see
if that really works out. I want to
push down on this side here. So I
can put on a torque in this direction
like this. And, hopefully, if I'm
right, the front edge will come down
toward you. So let's see what happens.

CDR Lo, and behold, it tips down. But

because of friction between the straws
and the axis, we've also got a little
bit of side tip here. Let's see if
we can take that out. We want this
to go down. The wheel is sitting this
way, so therefore if I push here that
side will go down.

026 21 07 3h CDR And this is a principle that is used

very heavily in space flight, that is,
the gyroscopic principle. We use
gyros in order to maintain our attitude
in space. Since the gyro is not want
to move around in rotation, we can take
a gyro like this and we can point the
axis in whatever direction we prefer -
like say celestial north, or something
like that - and we can spin up our
gyro. And then we can connect our gyro
up to a computer, and any time the
Dump Tape 026-07
Page 19 of 20

spacecraft dl_ifts away from the

attitude that we want it at, this
gyro will notify the computers that
it is - it is having some force put
on it, or it is showing drift. The
computer will then issue commands
on the thruster system on the space-
craft and the spacecraft will be
maneuvered back to it's original
position. That is to say, the
error is taken out.

026 21 08 32 CDR So that's how we use a gyro, in

order to sense where we are, or to
remember, essentially, which way
is the up. Now in Skylab, we not
only use little gyros like this in
order to remember where we want te
point, but we also use huge gyros
which weigh on the order of 140 pounds,
and are something like 3 feet in
diameter. We use these huge gyros
as our forces for moving the space-
craft around. We do not use the
thruster, except as a backup. And
the - little gyro sends a signal to
the computer and this time the com-
puter does what my straws are doing.
The computer sends torquing forces to
the axis of the gyro, and the axis
of the GYRO is connected to our
spacecraft, the large launch GYRO,
that is. And when we put a torque
on that axis, then the whole axis
moves the spacecraft, since the
spacecraft is connected to it, and
thereby we have an attitude control
system that is strictly gyro con-
trolled and uses gyro momentum.

026 21 l0 26 CDR *** TV of gyroscopic demonstration.

What we did was two sequences of the
first part - the - about a minute and
a half sequence showing the unspinning
gyro in PRECESSION.

026 21 i0 48 CDR The ones I personally prefer were

the second cut of the first sequence
and the first cut of the second se-
quence. And we've got the routine
worked out pretty well. If neither
of these sequences worked out Just
right, if either one of them needs
another whack, let us know and we'll
try to get around to doing it. The
other TV subject that I need to find
out about is when you want us to get
on with this EREP thing. I think
that it would be well - that if you
get them to schedule us some time
for that. It doesn't look like the
sort of a thing that could be done
easily during free time, because I 'm
not sure that the PLT and I will
always have free time available at
the same time to do it. So I sus -
I would suspect you probably ought
to schedule it.

640 it was above 20 and then it
Just went on up to 40 or 50's
and there on out. So then my
pointing was a left/right of 737,
up/down of all zeros. I did a
grating auto scan at 25:27
which is which the oxygen VI was
i00 to 102, which was well above
the background and from what
I could judge was honey-colored
... network boundary in a ... and
display. It was not a very nicely
formed network boundary but there
were dark spicules - dark potions
of spicules indicating that that
was a boundary. The cell itself
was not very well defined but
the - the boundar itself had the
right characteristics.

I

026 22 0] 14 SPT Magnesium X at that point was

around 6 plus or minus. I gave
full grating auto scan starting
at 19:41 grating position and
ending up there. Then gave a -
about i or 2/3 of grating auot
scan at 25:53 mirror position.
That's a difference of around
28 or lh0 arc seconds away. Again
that large difference was due
to the fact that I started to
out the lines. I need position
inside so it would be out of
boundary. I could have very easily
made that difference only 60 arc
seconds but the - on strength
of trying to get that on a oxygen VI
high made that difference quiet
a bit larger than what we
orignally discussed. And the
teleprinter message which came
up, we suggested possibly it's
30 on either side of the boundaries.
However, I still think it does
the job. Oxygen VI was around
200 at that point. Magnesium X
was running 30 or 40. AFter that
we gave two mirror auto rasters,
one down to line h0 at grating
position of all zeros. And one
at 772. And unfortunately because
of the time constraint we only
got down to line 30 on that one.
Before we want below 400K. And
the grating, course, kept going.

026 22 02 55 SPT I believe we got down to line 30

before very much was done.

026 22 03 00 SPT But we did cross essentailly the

point where the grating auto scans
were made and a considerable
distance beyond that. So - so iL
is where the pointing was done
and also where that total area.
It doesgiveyou a handleon the
 Dm_p Tape 026-08

color difference_ the little

color diff - the little color
temperature differences that you
might expect. For you have that -
you have been indicating. I was
looking at a line of eontinules.
But it looks like a real good
program to run out, unfortunately
setting up for it with the
displays we have is a real problem.
Before I get into that a little
bit let me give the other two
•.. that've recieved some data.
5h, it used single frame 5 for
36 minutes and 56 recieved long
exposure for 36 minutes with the
grating in. And the roll which
we had, I believe, gave a
reasonable dispersion for their -
for their ... rotation and dispersion
in axis. We've acted a pointing,
that's - while I think about it -
what would really be useful here,
is to have a XUV Monitor-type
device and only one without all
of the ex- excess filtering in
it, so actually use it as a TV
display, and has filters which
could be inserted .... that you
will let them on a rotating
wheel the same way we have.

026 22 05 53 SPT So they should be ... filters on

5h and 56. As in, sort of
wavelengths which were characteristic
of some altitudes in the
atmosphere.

026 22 06 02 SPT And that would be ... hard to do

I guess because you're talking
about looking at single lines.
And anyway in which a visual
presentation spatially at -
characteristic of a given
altitude to the atmosphere
_- should be presented would be
exceptionally useful as you
Dump Tape 026-08

can see here. I would have been

no problem whatsoever to get
this wrapped up by adding a
good TV display. You could point
right to the heart of the coronal
hole and then get - hit a peak
and oxygen VI has somewhat of
a location to ... the network
and you'll be home.

027 01 09 ll SPT SPY at 01:09, debriefing ATM pass

which began at 00:09. This is the
seventh orbit which I worked on today.
I'll try and give you an overall
s,_mary of the general things which
were done as each orbit just so we
do not get confused. I'm going to
debrief this orbit first and then we'll
pick up with that overall s_im_ry.
Started off with a building block 32,
with 56 and 54 operating. Then I did
a search for polar plumes with
magnesium X - the south pole; could
not find anything. It was between
0 and l0 - I was maybe 30 arc seconds
off the limb - between 0 and l0
counts the polar regions intensified
20 degrees and then outside of that
._ about30 counts- 20 to 30 counts. I
went back to the promenence which I
felt I had not really worked very well
for 82B previously. And debated the
best way align the SLIT so they could
get comporetlespectra. And I could
have aligned it along the feature,
but there wag a lot of other small
features of lesser intensity in H-ALPHA
which protruded off of this in both
directions. And I ... move over quite
a bit. I felt the best way _ to
put the SLIT horizontal to the limb,
per chance - I should say parallel to
the limb. And I was about 40, maybe
50 are seconds off the limb. And I had
SLIT center. I then lost 55 - 55's
input in oxygen VI and it turns out that
maximized right on the center of the
prominence which is over at ii0.
Slightly below that in my display, was
another ... feature, another part of
pr_ninence.

027 01 12 13 SPT Hold on; I'Ii conclude this de-

briefing in a moment.

CDR Go ahead, Story.

CC Jet, that TV-103 on liquid films,

the performance was super, and we
think you've done about a good a
job as you can do on that. And we
suggest that you move onto some
of the other. If you pick up some
extra time later, you can go back
to TV-103.

CDR Okay, about the only improvement I

can put on that thing - I didn't
like it at all - was to get the closeup
lens and get some of those thin films
where the people can see them on
the closeup lens and then call it
quits.

CC Okay, and we're thinking of - we're

thinking of sending you a single hand-
held pad that's got all the sites
on it, and we're wondering what you
think of that and how many copies
you'd like. We'd also like some
cormnents from you on the n1_her we're
sending up. We think that you'd
probably like to have an awful lot
of them and catch those ones that
you can, like we're sending up 13
tomorrow.

CDR Okay, that's fine; I think we ought

to have three copies and on a
separate pad. It makes no difference to
us whether it's in the details or
separate. I guess the only thing we
regret is frequently we get one of
those goodies while we're laying in
the SENP or something like that.
We kind of hate to miss them.
 Dump Tape 027-01
Page 3 of ii

CC Okay, which would you prefer, a

separate handheld pad or in the
details?

CDR We're - we're satisified with the

way it's going right now on the details,
unless you folks would rather change
it.

CC We'd rather put it - -

CDE - - the details.

CC We'd rather put it on a separate pad if

that's okay with you.

CDR Okay, let's give it a try; if it

gives us trouble, we'll holler.

CC Okay, and we'll send you three copies.

And we're about to go LOS here. The
next ones Guam in about 40 minutes
at 01:56.

CDR We'll see you.

027 O1 19 16 SPT SPT again at 01:19 picking up

again on the ATM debrief, started
00:09 to 00:59. If there's a little
noise in the background, is we've
got a gas purge going on in here,
Bill Pogue cleaning a tape recorder
behind me; Jerry Carr working on a
tape recorder beside me and CAP COMM
talking in my ear. So the first part
of this may not be as coherent as you
would - you would like - or I would
like. Okay, after we'd ran the
magnesium X search of the south pole,
found nothing, we went over to the
prominence at ll0. Put the SLIT tan-
gent to the limb, parallel to it,
about 50 are seconds off the limb,
rolled about Sun center so that we
/_ got the maximam in oxygen VI which was
 Dump Tape 027-01
Page 4 of ii

at SLIT center and that turned out to

be a count of about 150, very signi-
ficantly above the background. Gave
82B a 60-minute exposure at that
point. About one-third of the SLIT
was filled. There was a - in H-ALPHA.
There was feature not anywhere as
bright, but right below the primary
prominence, which protruded about
80 arc seconds off and was maybe
i0 arc seconds wide, and inclined
20 to 30 degrees to the south. The
exact coordinates for the exposure
were minus 8597 for ROLL, UP/DOWN
was minus 33, and LE_T/RIGHT was
minus 1053 .... position, 56 got
a SINGLE FRAME 4 for about 15 minutes;
55, two GRATING, AUTO SCANs at the
SLIT Center which is where we
maximized oxygen VI. We had one
MIRROR, AUTO RASTER at GRATING POSI-
TION of zero. We then rolled about
Sun center. I stepped the 55 aperture
down to the bottom of the SLIT and
rolled so that we moved up. And
when we saw the SLIT was completely
clear of these features, that is,
the oxygen VI count dropped down to
around 8 to l0 counts, then I moved
the 55 aperture back up to SLIT cen-
ter and gave 82B about a 16-minute
exposure and again I cut it off at
about 400 K .... about a 16-minute
exposure; 56 SINGLE FRAME 5 for
17 minutes and 55 Just received
three MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs at a
GRATING POSITION of zero .... it was
a GRATING POSITION OF MECHANICAL 10_.
And also right now, I was reading 184
because ... in there. But I'm pretty
sure that it essentially was a
MECHANICAL 104 was OPTICAL zero
except for that uncertainty of 2. Now
i_inediately Just below that - that
f was to the north - displayed the
results of a high count in oxygen VI
where there was nothing visible. And
I did not have time to explore that.
Dump Tape 027-01
Page 5 of ll

027 Ol 23 25 SPT The fact that they reported loops

above the limb is interesting and
I would like to go back and try to
do that. I though we had covered
part of that earlier today day with
the JOP 26 although we did it at a
GRATING POSITION of zero, perhaps
if we had a better definition of
exactly where those loops were we
could use a GRATING POSITION receiving
neon VII, give you repetitive MIRROR,
AUTO RASTeRs in several locations.
This orbit has taken - I'd sam this
objective has taken two orbits same
as the objective of trying to get
good spectra inside and outside of
a coronal hole. So this essentially
has got me two orbits behind. I'm
glad I've got the extra time today
to - to make it up so we can m_ke
up and get those objectives.Let me
just run through the outline for you
where we - where we are in this whole
thing, where we started what wetve
done.

027 01 24 54 SPT At the orbit beginning at 6 - 13:16,

we gave a building block i and building
block a 32 with null bias in all the
observing time. The orbit beginning
at lh:_9, we gave building block i0,
is on the west - on the West limb.
That orbit also started With a buildinb
block 32. A% 16:22, We Started with
a building bl_k 32, and did some
coronal hol@ exploration although
we did not _et data. At 17:56, we
were just able to sneak in a building
block 32. That Was Just before the
EREP Z-LV p_ss started. At 21:02,
we gave a building block 32 and got
lined up and got the C_ronal hole
data, along With the X-RAY exposures.
At 22:35, we did a building block 32
and got Some _ some prominence data
for 82B at a GRATING _ And then at
 Dump Tape 027-01
Page 6 of ii

00:09, the orbit we just completed, we

gave another building block 32 and
further data on the prominence which
I've just described. For the last
orbit, I plan to go Sun center and
give building block 1 Bravo for -
essentially for - 52 will receive
STANDARD and a CONTINUOUS for
6-1/2 minutes. 55, GRATING, AUTO
SCAN, line 25, and then MIRROR,
AUTO RASTER. 52 will receive . ..
0, 5, 256 followed by 17-minute
exposure. And 56 will receive a
SINGLE FILTER 5 [sic] for as long
as possible in the orbit. And I'll
recap when it's all done. That
concludes the efforts that I've put
in on this today and let me describe
my first reaction without a lot of
deep thought on it .... how well I
worked from my standpoint. I think
having operated this mode for the
first time, I think it went pretty
well. I think we have a certain degree
of flexibility up here which just does
not permit us ... to have. And this
has been ... restraint so I'm not
trying to say any positive or for
it - negative against that. Of course,
the real advantage, us doing some of
this scheduling up here is that you
are in closer touch with what's going
on at the present time.

027 01 28 23 SPT However, the whole thing today did

not really allow me to make maximum
use of that. But I did put a little
observing time in for myself, which
I did not gather data and just spent
that time looking - looking over the
Sun. But I still think that you really
need more of that. I would think that
I should have taken a whole orbit at
the very beginning in order to get that
z- done. I didn'treallyhave time to
look at the new active region emerging.
I hope to take a look at that Just
Dump Tape 027-01
Page 7 of ll

before this next orbit. I did look

at 36, but I don't look at the north
of the pole other than to identify
that it in the XUV MONITOR. As far
as going around the limb, I did do
that several times and I think I had
a good feel for what lines and what
was worthwhile stuc_ving. Except for
the place which cannot be seen in
H-ALPHA, such as loops. So that is
where we're going to require addi-
tional type of instrumentation here.
And I think I have described that in
another session. However, as pointed
out here, if we could have either ...
in XUV M0N type display which would
allow us to see loops or features of
various temperatures that ... in other
words, have their active region ...
arising from different altitudes and
atmosphere. That would be exceptionally
useful. You know, like you may not be
able to do that with a series of filters
and a fundamental ... It may turn out
to be that ... where S055 does not
present the results of the rasters.
Well, that's on either site. Something
you've been doing - a problem which I
won't try to addres here, but I think
functionally there is a need to be
able to see a picture of the Sun at
a various altitudes to identify the
various types of phenomena we were
trying to explore today. And I think
the coronal hole - we were wondering
at the spectra in the coronal hole but
over the place where the oxygen VI
count was high, that ... segment with
boundaries that were exceptionally ...
good illustrations. H-alpha unfor-
tunately does not give you that very
fine pointing required to - to get an
oxygen VI maximum. It probably Just
tells you what region to start looking
for this other pinpointer. Another one
is looking for loops above the limb.
Okay, getting a little off the track
there.
Dump Tape 027-01
Page 8 of Ii

027 01 31 27 SPT The - the second advantage of some-

thing I had today, which may not
always exist, depending upon how ...
laboratory is run. Because if I had
trouble in one orbit, I knew I had a
couple of orbits that I had kind of
tucked away in my pocket at the end
of the day which I could slide every-
thing back into so I could still meet
the the objectives of what I was trying
to do. This may not be a bad way to
operate. We have found the same thing
to be true of observing time.

SPT Many times you can stay ahead of the

timeline, but sometimes if you drop
behind, you don't behind just a little,
you drop behind a lot. And when that
happens, you either give up the the
observation or try to slide it into
another orbit. Luckily I was able to
do the latter here.

027 01 32 29 SPT We've started laying out the schedule.

Pretty much of a set routine. It's not
too hard at all. The synoptic, you
know what time of the day you want to
do things, at various instruments, 1-A
and 1-B are exceptionally straightforward
building blocks. You know when - when
you want to do that, and you know when
you - you'd like to put a STANDARD MODE
into the middle of a day for 52, building
block 32's otherwise. And you can get
on it with the specialized operations
in each orbit which depend upon the
nature of the Sun that day. I don't
find onboard scheduling to be very
much of a problem at all. It's taken
a good part of my time, I will say,
today, but it's . .. with what I was
up here to do. Alone, I think I
could operate like this day after day
and very and be very happy doing it.
I'm not sure that eight orbits might
be what I would want, but certainly
think six orbits could be - could be
 Dump Tape 027-01
Page 9 of ii

tolerated and stay fairly ... Do you

know how many ... were sent up from
the ground? I hadn't really thought
about it today; it has been pretty
good .... has been a little more
specific than others, which is no
problem. You expect the variability.
I think I do lack, though, I feel a
little bit - away from, is what you've
learned so far.

027 01 B_ 17 SPT I think because it's the air=to-ground

loop, does not really permit the type
of conversation which would be most
useful. By that I mean, when - Neil
started telling me some things today,
and I felt, you know, that they're
interesting and I should have isolated
them where I could start taking some
knowledge home. And when I get back
I'll certainly sit down - sit down
and talk with him about these things.

027 01 34 4h SPY On the other hand, I feel if we went

on for a half an hour like that, I
really think an awful lot of eyeba]Is
would roll into the back of the head,
in the MDCR Just because they've
still ... many other things to do and
certainly they do. What I would pro-
pose in the future on the shuttle
payload is that you've got your own
loop between the guys who are working
a given instrument which essentially
is a Ib_11-time Job, and the guys who
are supporting them rather than trying
to funnel everything through one
individual - the CAP COMM. I think
that really places a burden on the
CAP COMM and it's by ne - necessity
filters out information to everybody,
not Just ATM but all kinds of other
experiments being done up here.

z 027 01 35 32 SPT Of course, ... major effort like this

if you need to put another observatory
like this into space, I would think
Dump Tape 027-01
Page i0 of ii

you would want pretty much continuous -

as near to continuous co-,, as the orbital
dynamics would permit, orbital mechanics ...
and not have it in a way which would be
cluttering up some of the other things
which you had to be carrying on at the
same time of - of an operational nature
or experimental such as in - in another
field. After being up here, I really
feel this is true. Now Bill Lenoir has
done an excellent Job. He's Just
really - really come on strong and -
and I think much of this - much of
our understanding of what's - what
to do up here and the quality of the
data in coming back is due to his efforts
and I know that, as he says, he's the tip
of the iceberg and there's a lot of people
behind him, which I'm sure is true.

027 01 36 32 SPY But that type of conversation which I

was able to get with him daily gave me
a feedback for what was going on. If
I didn't have that I would - I would
really be lost. I'd be operating on
information 2 months old and I don't
think be - be stimulated to thinking
a new and different way. And I think
more so, in the future, we're going
to need more of that type of thing
and there's no reason that I can see
why we shouldn't have a continuous,
a - or, at least a better channel
which all of these small details can
be discussed, which are still strictly
on a scientific and - and observatory/
operational nature. Things which ...
and the operational aspect of a vehicle,
that's something different; that we
can't - can't handle in the same way,
of course.

027 03 00 23 CDR This is the CDR at 03:00 Zulu. The

subject is end of mission meals. This
message is for the food people. I
have looked over the special menu for
the end of mission meals and this is
for the substitute menu, the special
menu, that will - will substitute for
high density dates. A few comments
we'd like to have you work on, if you
would. In the case of the CDR, you
call out macaroni ; stand by -

027 03 O1 07 CDR Yes, you call out macaroni for the

CDR for meal Charlia and, unfortunately,
that is one food that I cannot tolerate.
I would appreciate it if you would try
to substitute something for the macaroni.
And the SPT doesn't feel that he can in
any good conscience take veal and
spaghetti both in the same meal or,
let alone, in the same day; and he
would like to limit the menu to Just
one of those, And he will be more
than happy to throw in the peanuts if
you need something else to make the
adjustment on minerals and calories.
We have selected day 82 - 81 as the
day that we Would llke to use the
special menu_ so you've got plenty of
time to work these things out.

027 03 Ol 55 CDR So let me repeat, for the CDR, meal

Charlie would like not to have macaroni;
would llke t9 have something else sub-
stituted, if possible. And, for the
SPT, would like to drop either the
veal or the spagetti and would also
wouldn't mind losing the peanuts. CDR out.

EREP C and D on the film advance.
Camera number 1 only advanced 2. So,
therefore, I repeated the film
advance advance sequence again. And
all cameras advanced 3 times. So,
I don't know what the deal is with
camera number 1 but it appears to
have at least passed its test the
second time.

027 12 02 27 CDR I recorded a time T2, which was 11:57

CDR Hank, out of the monitor ehechout, the

only one that was not at the proper

CC Okay ...

PLT Going to get the San Joaquin Valley

CDR Yes.

PLT You go ahead and watch that. [sic] -

027 12 17 35 CDR I've still got 8 minutes.

CC Skylab, Houston. The ATM C&D loop

flow has dropped down a little hit
since you started your pass and flow
seems to he a little bit erratic and
it may have been the pump.

CDR Okay, the 191 cooler is sounding

very bad. That's what it is. It's
beginning to quiet down now. Just
all of a - no, there it is.

PLT There it went again.

CDR It sounds like a high speed electric

motor, grabbing or loaded down and then
released. Hope we don't lose that
rascal.

CDR So you might have the guys on the

ground keep an eye on their 191
temperatures and everything.

PLT ... Was it Charlie 7. No.

CDR Better look it up. Also, Hank, when -

oh, here it is. Yes, Charlie 7.

027 12 19 12 CDR Let's take a look at Bravo 7 and 8.

Those are a couple of them, too.
Bravo 8 is supposed to be very low
on that ... pressure. It's one.
And thermal detector temp looks
good, too.

027 12 19 33 PLT Yeah, l've had to make about, ao

I'd say, a half a dozen corrections
in up/down ...... zeroed and two
corrections left/right. This is -
this is a bit unusual. I haven't
never noticed this many corrections
being required before.

CDR I noticed yesterday it was a little

bit erratic.

PLT Swathing the nadir.

PLT We don;'t have any snares for that

thing either, I'm sure. Another
correction, up/down, it's going to
1 and up.

CDR To 1 up, huh? Boy. I usually carry the

zeros on the bottom and on the right.
That way when they shift to the top or
the left I can note.the drift a little
quicker and get them back.

PLT Okay, 1 to 1 left again. Goldstone's

locking up.

CDR I'm okay, Hank. The 191 ...

case temp's hanging in there right,
was very steady. That cooler motor
or whatever it is is sure - changing
tone every once in a while.

CC I thought I heard it there once

while you were transmitting. Does the
pitch drop down?

CDR No, it goes up. - -

PLT I'll tell you what. Let me put bY

mike down there and see if they cna
get it.

There, do you hear that?

PLT There. Right about there.

CDR There. You ought to heard that,

Hank.

CC Yeah, we hear that. It sounded like

a bird chirping on top of it.

CDR Yeah, it's - it's a considerably -

very - very significant change in
i_requency.

PLT Just did it again. That's it. That

the bird chirping is - it is more or

027 17 37 52 PLT Hi. It's PLT. Subject for Ml31 MS

test conducted this morning. Wen_
150 head movements, both directions.
No symptoms Lhat - really apparent.
I had gas on my stomach, but I always
have gas on my stomach. The change
in rotation direction caused a little
bit of muscular coordination confusion.
I guess I - about the first three sets
of head movements cause it was -
apparently I had been - been conditioned
to offset in the Coriolis effect as
I was moving my head around and - 8_nd
we always went around, think, in a
clockwise direction. And so when we
came to the counterclockwise direction
of size - whatever it was - I noticed
that I sort of had to retrain myself
as far as muscular coordination is
concerned. Okay, 8xivway I guess it was
the - the conditioning of the first
run as opposed to the direction of
the second one. So when I started the
second set of runs in the opposite
direction it took me about three sets
there to get my physical coordination
down. After that it was just about the
same as the first run with no noticeable
symptoms.

027 17 55 18 SPT Just abov - back to the seed. There

is a third one coming out at the
seed now, which has gone off to the
left-hand side, and be - back left-hand
corner, close to the back left-hand
corner of the front side and then
turns forward and goes about halfway
up. And then all of a sudden makes
another straight line right back
towards the seed. And that one is
green, also. We have three green stems
on seed Alfa in 2 - compartment i.
Seed Bravo and Charlie are doing nothing.
Over in compartment 2, nothing. We
have both ... Compartment 3, three
seeds, seeds Alfa and Bravo, both
short curlicue-type stems. The first
one, about i seed-length long. The
second one, a straight part, which
is around 2 seed-lengths long with a
little curlicue on the end. Seed
Charlie's got a major seed -major stem
coming out of the bottom which divides
into three. And then a couple of muall
roots structures coming out, one of
which goes up towards the front, very
thin and hairy. Okay, over on the
compartment 4, the big performer there
is the seed Bravo, which has moved
itself down toward the seed, right
into the place of seed Charlie, Alfa
and Charlie are not doing anything.
This one has, as far as I can see,
nothing but roots. I see no stems
whatsoever on this one. It has got
four long roots and two of them -
three of them come out the right-hand
side, one goes towards the back -
back bottom, one center bottom, and
one the front bottom. And one of the
front bottom turns up, goes forward.

027 17 57 05 SPT The one on the back bottom Just goes

up to the top right-hand back and I
cannot see where it goes from there.

027 17 57 20 SPT And - the root, there's a root down

the ... stopper. The top side of the
Dump Tape 027-05
Page 3 of 7

seed comes forward, goes up to the

front - towards the front, that's
long and hairy. Got another one which
comes out. They're really tough to
follow in the - in this. Thank ...
'cause agar's got a few little splits
in it. And - when the seeds get
there, the ... seed makes clear corners
here and there and they're tough to
figure. Okay, we got one root that
comes all the way out the bottom and
goes up towards the front of the case,
hits the front of the case and rebounds
and makes a diagonal across _rom the
bottom - from the top right to the
bottom left. Now as I look close
there is one stem in there. And let
me see if I can trace down where
the heck it is coming from. From the
top right hand corner, and it is
slightly green, slightly green. I
can only see about half an inch
worth of it. Darn if I can tell where
it's from. I'm sure he's gotta be
from seed Charlie, but I don't quite
see how it gets up there. I know what
I'll do. No, I won't. No, I won't.
Yeah, thing Just goes right along the
back and up with the - it goes - hits
the back, The green stem hits the
back, goes up to the top and makes
a little curlicue there. And it is
a light green, very light green.
Compartment 5 we've got too many seeds
in there. Alfa and Bravo both have
stems which are around 5 seed-lengths
long, roughly more than 4 for Bravo,
5 for Charlie - for Alfa, a little
curlicue on the end, they're not green.
Okay, our friendly compartment 6 has
got something going.

027 17 59 47 SPT Alfa is doing nothing, Charlie doing

nothing, but Bravo going great guns,
putting out - my gosh, I guess there's
a - right at the moment two seeds in
there for the place of a Bravo slot.
Yeah, I thir_k so. There's a - we'll
Dump Tape 027-05
Page h of 7

take a look here. The top seed called

Charlie has got a _ a root structure
coming out, going to the back at the
bottom. And one coming out - stem coming
out of the top, going towards the top
of the case, and then over to the
right-hand side, and that is white.
The bottom of Chsrlie - Bravo seed
has got a couple of stems coming out -
one is actually - it looks red. Yes,
it is. One which is around 2 seed-
lengths long, kinda curly at the end,
goes off to the top right-hand side,
is actually red - bro_mish red. Whether
it means it died or not, I'm not sure.
A gap coming out of the - a lot of
growth coming out the way of stems in
the bottom of this - bottom of seed
Charlie. Most of it goes up to the
back right-hand side of the container.
Along the top and then it has finally
come down along the front right-hand
side and makes a big curlicue, starts
going back - towards the back,
then towards the center of the case
and then changes its mind, and hits
the side again. But that part of
the stem here is green. It's got a
light green cant[?] to it. Looks
like a very thin blade of grass almost.
So we've got green going in compartment
6 as well. We kind of have the suspicion
that anywhere a - as I look at it,
anywhere a stem system happens
to encounter an appreciable amount
of light, if it's got any length to
it all. Then it is something involved
in the light it must have, then it
turns green.

027 18 01 59 SPT The short stems which do see light,

do not have - are not green; the
long stems _hich do see light are green.

027 18 02 06 SPT That's true in compartment i and

compartment 6. And slightly in
compartment h. Guess that's to
Dump Tape 027-05
Page 5 of 7

have - any generalizations you can

make. And I'm not sure whether that's
known and whether they have them -
the seeds on - in I g or not. Going
... over to compartment 7 we got
Bravo, Charlie, no growth. Alfa
has - if one - one stem which splits
into two, is not 2 seed-lengths long,
curly, going towards the back. No
biggie. C_upartment 8 has got Bravo
doing the only thing and that's just
got a short, i seed-length long stem,
weight going to its right-hand side
to another. Okay, generalizations.
Now to ... it grow. Those which have
long stems that make it to the point
where they can see some light turn
green. I would not say there's any
preferential growing, though, towards
the front of the case. I see green
stems turn around and start heading
right on back towards the other
direction. One case here rather
abruptly in compartment l, the one
that's on the top left-hand side,
it just makes a 135 degree turn.
Just goes straight back, just looks
like it was folded. Now one which
is up there at the top in Bravo
are interesting - I'm sorry in compartment
one, has started to turn back. That's
a green one and is around a third of
the way towards the back of the
container. Wonder if that'll turn
around and get smart. It ... coming
up to the front where it gets more
light. The stems, in general - well,
now wait a minute, now wait a minute.
One thing I guess I ought to say.
It's over in compartment 6. The stem
which comes down, goes to_rds the
back, makes a big - big U-turn from
the bottom rlght-hand side and then
goes up towards the front again, and
that's the one that turned slightly
green.

amount of huddling of the stems
all but towards the front of
the case. Some make a turn and
go back; some make a turn and
go forward. If I were a
betting man, I'd say that
the length does not influence
the direction of travel of
the stem. They hamper
the grow in that direction
which brings them front,
then they turn green, if they
see some appreciable light.

SPT So again the evidence here

is rather shaky, so Y'm Just
a little suspicious of this.
I've got to face it right
now. I can't find any
consistent pattern.

SPT Well, even though this ...

to your photos .,. , we'll
keep these solids growing
and probably in about another
4 or 5 days, the last at
which time we're going
to have a chance to look
at them. And we'll Just
see how they look at that
time.

SPT No consistent trend unfortunately.

Roots go to the front, towards
the light ; stems go to the
back, away from the light -
some do, some don't.

symtoms were identical to those
of the PLT. I had no - no other
symtoms, no uncomfortable sens of -
symptoms at all. The only thing
was the first - probably the first
25 head movements of the counter
rotation from what we started with.
I had a good deal of trouble accli-
mating myself to the - the new
direction of rotation as far as
putting my head where I wanted to
put it. After about the first 25
head rotations, head movements,
everything smoothed right out and
there were absolutly no symptoms
of any kind, and, in fact, I rather
felt at the end wherewe stopped
the chair that there _s less of
the - the whirls and the dizziness
that's associated with stopping
than there was the first time.

right -

i0 seconds. I usually don't star
hearing any - okay, you can hear
the clicks as well as I can. At
30 seconds I got the first set.
Okay, I heard the click - the second
click where the shutter goes out
and taht was at 1 minute and 3 seconds
after it started. So, let's recap
here: SEQUENCE, START at 22:02 and
l0 seconds. There it goes again.
At 22:02 and ho seconds we heard
our first click. At 23:13 - 20:0 -
22:03:13 is when the sequence
started clicking. And then you Just
heard it clicking again. We have

and found a bright _oint. Bright
point was located with a ROLL of
I0, 800 at an up/down of plus 12
and a left/rlght of minus 192.
It was very evident in the XUV
MONITOR. And when I looked at it
in oxygen VI, I was able to bet a
count of 550 or so. It's oscillating
between 500 and 600. However, I then
pluged ahead into building block 28,

set up for ... building block 28,

got the X-ray exposure started and
then realized that I had over-
looked a building block, namely ll,
that we wanted GRATING, AUTO SCAN's
on it. So I had to do things a
little differently in order to get
all the data in. I stepped 55 up to
line 7, which was the - I - I -
first of all I had gotten to the
pointing up - up/down of plus 12,
and then moved down 15, so I was at
minus 3. In order to get badck to
the point without changing the point-
ing, I moved mirror up to line 7,
and I confirmed I did get my max
up around 7 - or 550. Did the
2 GRATING, AUTO SCANs at that point,
and then started the truncated
MIRROR, AUTO RASTERs. 82A received
a WAVELENGTH, LONG, 1-minute exposure,
a ROLL of 1090 in support of this
JOP. 56 is receiving th two SINGLE
FRAME exposures they wanted: SINGLE
FRAME, 1 for 8 minute; SINGLE FRAME,

027 23 18 kO( CDR This is the CDR at 23:18 Zulu.

Subject is Earth observations.
Handheld photography. And at
21:04, I took a picture of an ice
island. It was several hundred miles
east of the southern tip of South
America. It was frame number 65
of Charlie X-ray 4h, taken at 5.6,
1/1000. And it - what it looks
like is a great big slab of ice
that broke away from the pack ice.
And there're no mountains or - or
crevices of anything in the ice. It
just looks like a big - big sheet of
ice that's floating free. And float-
ing in the water around it are many
many small pieces, small chunks of
ice. And I don't know if those are
what you would call icebergs or not.
I don't know how much - how much of
them are sticking up. But they are
rather smsll. Then at 22:38 on our
next pass over the southern tip of
South America, I took 2 IR frames of
the plankton bloom and eddie from the
Falkland current that had gotten into
the Golfo San Jorge. And the eddie
trod [? ] had gotten in and was turning
counterclockwise. It had entered the
northern side of Golfo San Jorge and was -
was rotating or it was swirling in a
counterclockwise direction. The cas-
sette number is India Rc_eo ii. It's

028 00 02 05 SPT SPT at 00:02 handheld photos. I'm

going to try and pick up for what
was done yesterday and today. Yester-
day, may CXl8, frames at 98 to 103,
100-millimeter, as we did a ...
Earth resourcestoward the pass,
so I had a - a fairly oblique shot
of the California coastline from
San Francisco down to about a
couple of hundred miles north of
Los Angeles, where it became
clouded in. I took 5 shots along
the terrain. That was nearly
oblique, and I thought that being
oblique, some of the fault zones
which run perpendicular to the
major ones, or perpendiculat to
the San Andreas, might show up.
And I think that the Garlock fault
was probably under clouds. I
looked for it and could not see
F it. Thatwas takenat 19:_2 ...
minutes on both sides of that.

028 00 03 24 SPT At 19:59, the coast of South America

looking at offshore wave patterns
and sunglints. And I was surprised
byt the irregularity in the patterns;
they were fairly large scallops.
Or I should say ... out ... some
smaller wave patterns which ran
parrallel to the coastline, nearly
parallel. But these were bunched
in l_rger groups, which were scallop
shares , if you will, with the edges
of the scallops, that is the - the
two ends, coming in toward the
coastline in most of the cases that
I can recall. And I should've
debriefed this yesterday because
the - it was freshure in my memory
then. Those were frames 104 to
106. And that was also f/ll, 100-
millimeter.

028 00 04 52 SPT On - today during the Earth re-

sources pass over the California
area, and looking at the map
ahead of time, I could see that
we were going to be inland from
the coastline and that the fault
system, especially down there
by Los Andeles, probably would
not be visible to the Earth terrain
camera. So I had set up and was
all set to take some photos while
I was working the Earth terrain
camera. Things got a little hectic
and left me little time for obser-
vations at all.

028 00 05 22 SPT But as it turned out then, I think

the Earth terrain camera got a little
closer to the coastline than I
anticipated, although I think I was
still right at the coastline and
covered some area which the Earth
terrain camera did not. The reason
the Earth terrain camera saw a
little bit more is 'cause we had
an attitude error in ROLL, so that
we were at one point almost 20 degrees
off attitude. So that we were no
longer really ... vertical, and we
were looking more toward the west,
which I think from the Earth terrain
camera standpoint might be - might
have been a better deal.

028 00 06 02 SPT But I did take a - a large number

of frames because all the way from
north - north California, above
San Francisco all the way down to
the tip of BaJa, was wide open,
Just as clear as a bell. And I
figured we haven't got this chance
very often, so I shot away. And
that was taken on mag CX18 from
18:55 to about 19:0h, time. And
frames ll0 to 133; 100 - 100-millimeter,
f/ll, 1/250. Now - now I can't
give you each one, of course, as we
go along. It a whole series, and I
tried to get to overlapping, and in
some cases, some stereo.
Dump Tape 028-01
Page 3 of 8

028 00 06 58 CDR The Garlock fault was visible. The

St. Andreas I probably could see
for a good part of the distance,
especially the closer we got to
Los Angeles. I tried to pick up
the others though I was pretty busy.
The one I was interested in particular
also was the AquaBlanca fault,
which I had been trying to - to
answer the question in mY mind, does
it reach the gulf of California?
And I've got to sdm_t that today I
could not see anything which would
establish that it does. I think
the problem is that we've Just got
sand or eroded material Just completely
obscuring whatever fault features
may have been there. Now maybe in
the proper lighting this may not be.

CDR Maybe if we take a look at this thing

here in the morning, as we come across
here, we might see Jt_st the right
lighting in order to - that is, a
very low Sun angle - to pick this up.

028 00 08 22 SPT So I believe these photos will then

cover the HH148-4, HH155-5, HH146-7,
HHI08, HH146-6, HH155-h, HHIII-3, and
HHlll in general.

028 00 l0 h9 SPT This evening at 23:34 we looked for

the H}{32; and, unfortunately, at
that time when it was completely
socked in - a complete overcast in
that area. And unfortunately we
were looking forward to seeing what
we could see in the way of upwellings.
We've not had too much success with
upwelling recently. And my hope
is that in the next week or so we're
going to have a little more time at
least to - to work some of these things
now that we're in - interesting areas.
However, apparently everybody is
f_

going to have to make it one way

or the other. Especially some of
our descending passes; we can
California in one, and then right
off ... - into South America and
off the - the coast of South America
in the other. There's a couple
of really exceptionally good passes
coming up every day. So we're Just
going to have to kinda make time
for them.

debriefing the 23:27 ATM pass.
JOP 6, building block 32, no
problem. JOP 17A, building block
ii: I got about 3 minutes behind
playing around trying to find
a - a good bright point and messing
around with oxygen VI. And - but
I managed to make up the time and
got the data in good shape. Took
me Just a little longer than I
expected.

028 00 16 46 CDR But the bright point I picked was

at a ROLL of minus 10800, an
UP/DOWN of minus 72, a RIGHT/
LEFT of plus 282. And the oxygen VI
count started out at 620 and was
down to abour 450 by the time I
finally settled down and started
working building block 28. It
was a nice hot spot, and I worked
all the way around it and located
it precisely. And then when I
got wettled right on it, I watched
it kind of fade off from 620 down
to 450. And it stayed pretty
stable there at 450. It's a nice,
bright little spot, and it's un-
mistakable. It's about the same
brightness as the one that Ed was
working with on the previous pass.

028 00 17 36 CDR S055, I cost you guys a few mini-

RASTERs, because when I did the
GRATING AUTO SCAN, DETECTORs 1 and
2, I forgot to put the GRATING in
RE_IEMENCE on a second scan and I
whistled right through zero. So
while the other g_ys were starting
to get their data on building block
28 I was busy trying to put you back
in 0000. And, again, that's - that's
hi, an factor of engineering on your
grating this thing. And I'm sure that
Ed and I and Bill have all harped
about that ad nauseam as far as
you guys are concerned, but that thing
sure does cost you guys a log of data.

028 00 18 20 CDR Let's see. Then I did the setup for

the VTR at sunrise in the next pass.
No problem with that. The pointing
for that is a ROLL of minus 3600,
UP/DOWN of minus 17, LEFT/RIGHT of
minus 958. And the WHITE LIGHT
COEONAGRAPH I took a look at during -
right at the end of building block 32
and it looks _]most identical to the
picture that Ed took earlier today.
And the XUV MON doesn't look particu-
larly spectacular. It looks very
much the same as it was this morning,
too. So that' s about it. Rather
uninteresting looking Sun. I guess
we'll have to make up Just doing
interesting JOPs.

it. One is to have it _ritten in

ops are coming Up. Or, secondly,
have a cue out of the Cap Comm.
I prefer the former. We're getting

028 12 43 16 CDR This is the CDR at 12:48 Zulu -

correction, 12:h3 Zulu, debriefing the
first pass of the day. ATM pass that
started at ll:Sh Zulu. Kind of
stumbled off on my start here, got
most of the data but did a little bit
of stumbling. The JOP 6, building block 1 -
IA was no problem, whistled right
through that. Got in to iB, got into
a PATROL LONG before I finally got
to checking back and forth between the
pad and the building block and
realized that you wanted option B.
So I stopped 56 in PATROL LONG and
started the SINGLE FRAME, 2 exposure,
and I felt I should let that run the
S full ii minutes ratherthan truncate,so
that caused me to run a little late and
to start the next JOP 25 Bravo a little
bit late. The upshot was that - on 25 Bravo,
I did not get the super-RASTER number 5
done, but looking ahead I think there's
ample time in the next pass to probably
pick it up. So what I did is I tried to
be a good fellow and give you a shopping
list item 1 at the end of this one
'cause I had 3 extra minutes, which wasn't
enough time to do super-RASTER 5; it
was enough to do building block 32. I
managed to bungle that one by leaving
a ROLL of 10800. So what you've got
then, in s_,-,_ary: JOP 6, building
block 1A, you got it all; building block lB.
52 got - got the STANDARD and got
4 minutes of the CONTINUOUS. 54 got
15 minutes of the 17 minutes they
wanted. Well they couldn't - I know
they couldn't have got 17 minutes, but
they got 15 minutes on their exposure.
8055 got its GRATING, AUTO SCAN - or
GRATING, 3 SCAN, and they got half of
a MIRROR AUTO RASTERs. S056 got
_-- its ii minute SINGLE FRAME, 2 and
building block 25 Bravo. Well, and
I'll mention the VTR. I gave you

GRAPH because I got busy, and about a minute

and a half of XUV M0N - on the _TR. And
25B got super-RASTERS 2, 3, an_ 4, and then I -
at the end we gave it shopping ilist number 1
at a ROLL of 10800. Sorry abou_ that. Now
let's see, I took a couple of _ictures of the
Sun. The WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH does not look
took significantly different from what it did
yesterday. The west limb streamers, the northern-
most streamer is a little bit _ore well
definined. It's wider at the _ase, and it
extends about 50 percent out f_rther,
and this is the one that's at _bout 0_0 degrees.
At about085, 080 is another stxeamer, and it is
not quite as well defined as t_e one
f wasyesterday. And the streame_dow_ at
aboutl20 is almost identical, looks
pretty much the same as the other.
On the XUV MON - Oh, let me - I should
tell you a little hit about th east
limb and that is that the east limb streamer
is diminimhed in intensity b_ good
50 percent I would saG', It's Luite a bit
weaker today than it was yeste: .day.
It's about the same width at tile base,
and the extent is probably 2/3 in length
as it was yesterday. Now, tAll_ing
about XUV MDN, still showing t]_e
active regions in pretty good Lhape.
I see a bright area coming around -
coming around the east limb, and it 's
Just about exactly on the equator. And
it's not a very big bright red, but
it is a small one. And the other
active regions, are still there. No
particular change in those, and I don't
see any new b right spots.

028 12 48 21 CDR The coronal hole at the southern cap

looks about the same. _ exposure on the
polaroid picture is a little bit darker
i-_. than Ed's was yesterday, so it makes
polar coronal holes look a little
bigger than his, but the active regions

really don't look like they've

changed much in intensity or in
relative position to each other.

PLT, 200, that's 200. All of the plasmas
are straw-colored. CDR's perhaps is
slightly, less clear, than the SPTts or
PLT's. Procedures were straightforward,
no anomalies during the drawing or
processing. We have three sticks left,
which is good enough for six more
hemoglobin concentrations. Apparently,
we have one more draw to make, and so we've
got one more for a stick, for SirLancelot
to do his thing.

SPT Okay, now we come to the sticky -

situation of location of urine and blood
in altered and realtered urine/blood

we're waiting for time to pass.

028 15 lO 25 PLT I've noticed that these flashes

occur at sporadic and irregular
intervals. Flash.

028 15 lO 31 PPLT MARK. That was in the left eye

lower left, and it was just
sort of a flash through the clock.
Okay, that was in the left eye,
h field of view, and it's
sort of a general flashing
area, bright area. And it
could possibly have been a
light leak. I 'm in my sleep
compartment. I have the door
closed, but I did tighten my
blind-fold to make sure there
wasn't any light leaks __ Okay,
I din't open my eyes and didn't
see anything so I think I
got that all taken care of.
That last prank [?]
it may've been in spurious.
My corsnent, however, was
going to be that I've noticed
that during the night when I wake
up or before going to sleep,
that we see these flashes ,
and they -

028 15 ii 45 PLT MARK. Okay, I thing that was in

both eyes. It was a spot.
White flash and then was
Just sort of a halo.
Let's buy it in as the at
- it was probably only in the
left eye, maybe - maybe
those hut definitely in the
left eye. Also, it was -
that last one was sort of
more orange or toward the red

and it's, too, of a - sort

of a hice white blurry spot
like some of them - a streak
and a spot were first -
the first one I reported.
Sort of like an out-out-
of-focus spot. Anyway what I was
going to say is that I've
had the - the streaks or
spots - some really per -
peeular effects where you'd
- you'd see a spot which
- you mean - you know a light
spot immediately followed by
streaks. They sometimes
goes - what would appear
to be, you know, like a
fair - third of the way
across the field of view.

PLT Say what ordered ....... order of

20 degrees travel through

(Music)

028 15 15 24 PLT MARK. A - a few streaks in the right

eye, lower than the -
left to tight lower than
I've given you. That was
more like a paint brush
wipe than it was a streak.

028 15 15 49 CC Skylab, Houston, we're a minute from LOS

Ascension at 15:23.

028 15 18 31 PLT There wasn another very peculiar phenomenon

both Ed and I had experienced
and this was about 3 weeks
into the mission, I guess.
And we were nothing what I
called myriad flash. Eye closed,
certain times it would just
be sort of like a - a lot
of tiny little tadpoles swimming
around. It wouldn'tlastyou

it was almost like yo - you
were maybe imagining it,
but it - you - you - you've
had divert you attention and
so it would come back.
And so I haven't noticed that
lately.

028 19 15 PLT MARK. I just saw a very diffused

blue flash, I think it was in both
eye, high in the field of view.
It was just a spot. When
I - lifted - even
interpreting this data,
when I say diffused, I
think that what I'm implying is
some - in some sort of doubt,
to whether I actually saw
the flach. I'mtryingto
report anything that I eat[?] to
try to avoid mentioning some sort
of borderline almost subliminal,
impression, I'm going to - giving
them it all. And I'm going to use
the word "diffused" to indicate
not a nice, bright spot. It
says, let's see a lot of them,
theree's just no doublt at
all, it's very impressive. Especially
the streaks that you see that
start with a spot, and then streaked
out, it's almost like the particles
dissipating. But anyway the
myriad of flashing that I was
tlaking about was sort of a
term ... for this - the
myltiplicity of even taken
place eontious to be
over a short period of time.

reason being I was , I just finished
the last raster, as if enough time
to squeeze in a 1-minute exposure
of air and then hustle on over

on the sunrise portion of the next
orbit. We're set up now at
ROLL of minus 3650, 40 arc seconds
in site, the left limb, H-ALPHA 1
has moved out. The LEFT/RIGHT
reading is minus 955. I
found the limb to be at minus 995
and we are tangent, I should say
parallel, to the limb with the
UP/DOWN so that the slit would
be exactly - the center of the slit
would be exactly at the point where

028 16 02 56 CC CDR, Houston, when you get a chance.

CDR Go ahead, Dick.

CC Jer, your friendly crimson team

wants to keep the antenna informed
that we've put together a - a few
words on some in-the-mission test-
ing that we're going to do after you
leave the workshop and it's going to
have some minor effect on deactiva-
tion. We thought you'd like to
hear about it. The next pass is a
Guam pass and it's devoted to the
ATM conference with Bill Lenoir, who
is presently EVA from the entry sire
that we're doing right now. We
thought a good time to talk to you
about the end-of-mission stuff
might be the upcoming stateside pass
when you and Bill are supposedly
eating lunch and Ed's on the ATM.

CDR Sounds good, Dick.

CC Okay, great we'll do it.

(Music)
SC ...

PLT What is happening?

CC Skylab, Houston. We're 1 minute to

LOS. Guam comes up at 16:09. We're
planning on dumping the data/voice
recorder at Guam if that's okay with
Bill, and Bill Lenoir will be here
for the ATM conference. See you
there.

028 16 05 30 CDR Okay, Dick.

PLT We have Guam coming up.

PLT Not much action.

PLT Not nearly as spectacular as some

of the action l've seen and some
of the activity l've seen when
I've - before going to sleep or
after wa/_ing up in the middle of
the night. It didn't see - it's
always random. Having a little
spurt of activity and then noth-
ing'll happen for any minutes and -
there it - Okay, right eye, and
upper left, light spot. And thoug_ht
maybe I was generating these myself
at one time by blinking or something
and yet I can't reproduce it. Some-
times you - we see it about the same
time that you've - you have a uncon-
quering conscious or subconscious
control wink or something like that
and - or blink of the eye. Invol-
untary, I guess is a better word tO
use, involuntary ... Sometimes I
thought it was associated with
that, but you cannot make it, you
cannot reproduce it.

CC Skylab, Houston. We're AOS Guam,

We'd like to dump the data/voice
recorder here.

028 16 09 27 PLT Okay, Dick_ you got it.

our GRAVITY GRADIENT DUMP is still
active.

SPT Okay, I'm gonna go now with the

FINE SUN SENSOR DOOR OPEN at 25.
We still have a good D rate, in the
GRAVITY GRADIENT DUMP maneuver.
That's when you're used to sun
timing. H-ALPHA DOOR switch still
on OPEN. And we'll be putting this
on MONITOR i. I have MONITOR 1
called up. H-ALPHA 1, and ATN
MON 1 on the way for a switch.
Still 0.3 out in Z. X, and Y are
in there. 2 mlnutes, 20 seconds
on the clock remaining.

SPT Okay, when we come up, and have

H-ALPHA in view, H-ALPHA i, probably
be two things. We'll see the effects
of refraction and we'll also see the
oscillation as the FINE SUN 8ENSOE
tries to center the canister or Just
zero the [?] wedges. I'll try to give
you information on both of those.
Okay, V_R is now going ON. So far
no H-ALPHA 1 display. Okay, for the

a sediment area where a river was
blowing into the sea. We had a
combination of sediment in the area -
what looked like possibly coastal
blooming, and some little islands in
the area, too, that were affecting the -
the whole - the whole effect. This
river mouth, I think, was the Rio Doce.
It's south of Sao Mateus, Brazil, and

028 18 00 21 CDR This is the CDR at 18:00 Zulu. First

* off the S191 READY light came on while
I was away from the panel, so the
nearest GMT I could tell you is it's
somewhere between 17:57 and 17:59
is when that READY light came on.
Let's go through the T minus i0
monitor check. Alfa 2 is 92, that's
high; Alfa 3 is 86; Alfa 4 is 92;
Alfa 5 is 96, which is high; Alfa 6
is 25, which is also high. Bravo 2
is 92, which is high; Bravo 3 is 82;
Bravo 4 is an NA, it's reading 91;
Bravo 5 is 90 percent; Bravo 6 is
50 percent; Bravo 7 is 34 percent;
Bravo 8 is i; Bravo 9 is 58. Charlie 2
is i00 percent, full scale high;
Charlie 3 is 88; Charlie 4 is 97;
Charlie 5 is 50 percent; by the way
Charlie h was high; Charlie 5 is okay
at 50 percent; Charlie 6 is reading
47 percent ; Charlie 7 is reading 50 percent;
Charlie 8 is reading 0. Delta 2 is
reading _6; Delta 3 is reading 84;
Delta h is reading 84; Delta 5 is
reading 19; Delta 6 is reading 51;
Delta 7 Ps reading about 51. So we
have some pretty high readings there
over in Alpha and Bravo. l'll come back
to them in a little while and look
at them again.

ALTIMETER is OFF; READY, out. 94 is

to BREP start - correction, 4 minutes
to SCATTEROMETER to STANDBY. So, that's
probably why our numbers are high is
becnuse I started 3 minutes early. Had

_t - at 03.

028 18 05 28 CDR Let's go back and take a look at those

monitor readings now. A/q-ha. Alpha 2
is now down where it belongs. I'll
read it to you. It's 55. Alpha 3 is
86; Alpha _ is 92; Alpha 5 - that's
where it belongs - 79, it's within it's
range. Alpha 6 is reading zero. Okay,
now things a_e looking a little bit
more reasonable. Bravo 2 is to 54;
Bravo 3 is 78; Bravo h is 91;
Bravo 5 is 71; Bravo 6 is 50 percent;
Bravo 7 is 33; BravoS8 is about i;

028 18 53 01 SPT SPT at 19:53 [sic], debriefing

handheld photos. These were all
on mag CXI8, that I'll mention
first. First, frames 137 through
i_7. When We came past inalnd of
the coast of - of - of California
today, and I tool a lot of photos
which were oblique, looking
towards the west, towards the
coast of California_aerial
photos, with the hope that
they would show up fault zones
which were running perpendicular
to the major fault zones. As
I think I - believe I picked
up yesterday. The San Andreas -
perpendicular to the San Andreas.
The Garlock fault showed up
the - and the Agua Blanca fault
showed up. And I was hoping
I could see a fair number of those
in betwe¢n. And I find I can
either tal_e pictures or I can look.
Today it was wide open, and we've
got a little bit of film left,
so I thought I'd go ahead and
take pictures and try to get
stereos. These were taken approxi-
mately at around 8:15, north and
south California. Actually *_*
We started up in Oregon.

028 18 55 h7 SPT Once we got down into south

America - off the coast of
South America, I looked for
blooking, of course. Now hold
off, we - we didn't get dow_ that
far yet.
Dump Tape 028-08
Page 20 of 23

At 18:25, we took frames - frame

number 148.

028 18 56 137 SPT Okay, let me get my bookkeeping

straight, go back - back up a
bit. The stereo photos of - of
the mountains in north and south
California and Oregon were
frames 137 to lh5. Frames 146
to 148 were sunglint patterns off
the Bay of Fonseca and south of
there. I was hoping that these
sunglint patterns would help show
up some of the stream lines, water
motion, eddies, if you will, in
that area. The sunglint was
relatively close to the coastline
and did not extend out as far
as I hoped it would. But I could
not see any large scale eddy
patterns'in the sunglint but
as I mentioned, it did not extend
far enough out. There was a
lot of wave action and some
other at first that looked like
random patterns, and I guess I
was busy taking pictures rather
than trying to decipher Just
what those patterns might be. These
were all with the 100-millimeter
Hasselblad, f/ll.

028 18 57 51 SPT Then we got down into South America

and off the coast by Port Allegre,
Porto - Porto Alegre. And I
was looking for some coastal blooming,
and I only saw one long, linear
feature, which was perhaps
40 miles long and, oh, 5 to 8 miles
wide; bright green contrast to
the relatively dark ocean water.
And it extended off the coast
maybe at a 45-degree angle or so,
at best I can recollect. Saw
no other features related to it.
Further off the coastline was
covered in with clouds, so we
couldnot see the bloomingrelated
 Dump Tape 028-08
Page 21 of 23

to the currents. This was pretty

much the - well, it wasn't - it
was not coastal blooming; I
should not say that because
further inland, toward the land,
towards the shore from this
blooming, which was maybe 50,
60 miles off shore at one tip and
a little bit less at the other -
somehwat less at the other - I
saw no - no blooming. How
this'll ... I'm not sure.

028 18 59 21 SPT Frames - that was frames 149.

Frames 150 and 151 were of sunglint
and blooming, essentially the same
area. We had some sun - good
sunglint patterns, and I thought
that the - if there was any
stream lines which would show
up or any evidenceby the sunglint,
that that would help determine
how this particular feature of
blooming came about.

028 19 00 07 SPT Okay, that was on the Nikon camera

with mag CX44._ _ I also took some
shots an_ initially I didn't
have the 55_millimeter lens available
to me; I used the 35 and - realizing
that this, perhaps, it is not the
best science, but maybe it was
more gee-whiz. But I thought we
deserved some good - good pictures
which showed the - the horizon,
the curvature, and something
interesting in the foreground.
I _as working both cameras at the
same time as well as the ETC.
So I got some with the
B5-millimeter and then a few later
on with the 100-millimeter. We
started out at - with mag CX44,
frames 57 on down to 51.

028 19 01 04 SPT And these were north.., south

f California

They were pretty much look-alikes

as they had to be from up - from
our location. Those were taken
around 18:10 down to 18:16 GMT.
I got a couple of obliques of
BaJa, California and, of course,
Mexico. Now looking it straight
from the east, frames 50 to 48,
these were all f/ll, 35-millimeter,
1.250 of a second. At 18:18
I saw a good smoke plume somewhere
in the southwestern United States.
Nevada, Arizona; I'm not sure.
I didn't have time to look for
the ..... However, that's where
the smoke seemed to be, on,
30 to 40 miles long, headed towards
the southwest. I put the

we were around 42 or h3 degrees

maybe aobut 100 miles. I could
not - we got to the window
in time to see the current
itself without the coastline,
so it was perfect you need [?]
before we can give you an
estimate. I saw a lot of blooming
rows and bright baloons, harrow

but it was not turbulent flow ...

028 21 09 48 SPT Looked like lammer [?] flows narrow

streams of - of bright blue -
looks like bright green all that
should be bright green surrounded
by a - a dark blue shell. For
the flowment, well, it was awfully
paralled to the coastline. And
it seems that we did see - although
a lot of it did tend to arc
around. There was clouds in good -
a most of the areas so we could
not see any overall pattern. I
was surprised that we could
see it so far up the coastline
because as we looked back to the
loop within the limits of what
the window would allow us in the
coastline. And so the time which
I took it, I estimate that it
was about a mi - a couple of -
maybe a lO0 miles or a little over
that off the coatline. Exceptionally
well defined, what we did see.
AT 20:33 right after htat, I

maybe, yeah, i minute's worth,

about 240 miles. And some
more blooming did not extend
out quite that far but not
too far from that ice island.
This has been, of course,

C])R Started the sequence at 05:30.

028 22 09 26 CDR Okay. Good old S183 is working

properly, we hope.

CDR Okay. At 09:45 is when I heard the

PLATE move out into position.
It ahs a series of clicks that's
usually 1 minute after activation.
1 minute and 15 seconds after
activation, you hear a long Click
which I think is the beginning
of the exposure.

CDR Okay. This is the CDR. I'm going

off the line for now. And I'ii
come up again when the se - sequence
terminates, or Just before.

028 22 14 53 SPT Okay, I think I had the recorder

tu - turned off on me there. This
is SPT again at JOP 21:15 [sic]
reporting - at 22:15 - ATM pass
which bega at 21:15. Super -
RASTEMs, steps .35 through 4l. The
only thing else in 56 sometimes
in returning to FILTER 1 after a
PATROL, SHORT, we have one besides
the one done at the end for 52 and
JOP 7 for 55 MIRROR LINE SCAN.
Detectors, all; GRATING at aero.
Enabled ... with the computer
and we went right on down to - to

028 22 30 42 CI)R This is the CDR at 22:30 and 15

seconds, waiting for S183 to finish
its thing on the first exposure.
I see that you planners have done
it do yourselves again as far as
exposure times on the S183 are
coneerened. You have a 1260-sec-
ond exposure here, in_nediately
followed by 620-second exposure
and that totals up to about 31 or
32 minutes and you allowed your-
self no time whatsoever for the -
changing of the guard that goes on
in this machine and all that means
is that your last exposure is gonna
get- SEQUENCE is to STANDBY. Your
last expsoure is gonna get screwed.

028 22 31 08 CDR So our next PLATE is n_ber 12, which

I'm gonna start and RESET going to
nubmer 12. Your last exposure
doesn't have a chance. I
don't know what you people are
thinking of when you - when you make
those pads out. You - either that
or you're - you know, you're
aware it's gonna lose them off the
last one and you're willing to.
But it sure would be nice if you
let us know in you remarks that
you're doing that and that you're
aware of that because it Just
disurbs the heck out fo me to - to
sit up here and try to work out
an exposure that's impossible.

028 22 31 55 CDR Okay. I don't dare take my attention

from this plate number for fear we
go past PLATE 12. 0k_y. We're
sitting on PLATE 12. Now, I can start
fooling with the ROTATION. And that
is, 4.5 turns couldwise from where
we are right now. i, 2, 3, 4, 5,
turns. We want a ROTATION of - 162.4,
except we're gonna take 2 from it,
_--_ so we want 0.4 showingon our little
goodie here.

028 22 32 37 CDR All right, 0.h and it's locked in.

For a TILT we want 8.1 but we're
adding 0.3 to that and so that's
going to be 8.h. 8.h it is and
locked. TILT and ROTATION are now
set. We want exposure number 2 to
620. All right and we'll go
SEQUENCE, START. Exposure number
3 needs to be zero. A

028 22 33 12 Cq)R SEQUENCE, START.

CDR Okay. This is field Charlie MIKE

3. ROTATION 160.4; TILT 8.4;
O, i, 620 and 0 is your time.
I started this sequence at 33:15,
which means instead of II -this
is you're only going to get
_bout ...

028 28 33 5h CI)R You see, we have to sit here. Once

I do get rotation, the PLATE set
and rotation and tilt set and hit
seqnence start, I've got to sit
here and twiddle my thumbs for a
minute and 15 seconds before the
darn thing starts working.

CDR Okay.

028 22 3h 31 CDR MARK. All right. That's 22.3h and

30 seconds is when you're exposure
started. That's whne the little -
the last click fell into place,
and I'm presuming that that means
your expsosure is running. So you
can see you've only got 6-1/2 minutes
of exposure time and then I have to
terminate it because of sunrise.

CDR This is the CDR. I'll be back at 22:40.

028 22 35 14 CDR CDR out.

028 22 h0 16 CDR This is the CDR. The time is 22:h0 Zulu

for now and we'll pick up agian at
