INTRODUCTION

This document is the transcription of the Skylab 1/2 flight crew

communications (i) as recorded on the command module (CM) data storage
equipment (DSE) and (2) as recorded on the airlock module (AM) recorder.
Data from these recorders are telemetered (dumped) to Space Tracking
and Data Acquisition Network (STADAN) sites for retransmission to the
Johnson Spacecraft Center. Transcription of these tapes was managed
by William A. _elley, Test Division, Program Operations Office, to
whom inquiries regarding this document should be referred.

The transcript is divided into three columns -- time, speaker, and

text. The Greenwich mean time (G.M.T.) column consists of three
two-digit pairs representing hours, minutes, and seconds (e.g., 22 34 14).
The speaker column indicates the source of a transmission; the text
column contains the verbatim transcript of the communications.

Speakers in the transcript are identified as follows:

Spacecraft:

CDR Commander Charles (Pete)Conrad Jr.

PLT Pilot PaulJ. Weitz

SPT Scientist pilot Joseph P. (J. P.) _erwin

CREW Unidentifiable crewmember

MS Multiple speakers

Mission Control Centers:

CC Capsule communicator (CAP COMM)

MCC Unidentified speaker, other than CC, in the Mission

Operations Control Room or a Staff Support Room.

In the text, a series of three dots (...) is used to designate those

portions of the communications that could not be transcribed because of
garbling. One dash (-) is used to indicate a speaker's pause or a
self-interruption. Two dashes (- -) are used to indicate an interruption
by another speaker or a point at which a recording was abruptly terminated.
Words given unusual emphasis by the speaker are underlined.

The Skylab 1 mission began with lift-off of the orbital workshop at

17:30:00 GMT (12:30:00 c.d.t.) on May 14, 1973. Because of damage to
the solar array system of the workshop during max q-alpha, the lift-off
of Skylab 2 was delayed until 13:00:00 GMT (08:00:00 c.d.t.) on May 25.
The Skylab 2 crew splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at 13:49_48 G.M.T.
(08:49:48 c.d.t.) on June 23.

CDR Then why don't you Just Jump over to undocking so I

can get off here and start heading for the wing.

SPT Undocking is next.

CDR Okay. If I get out of here, we can sort of go around

that way and you can start dumping the cabin while
I'm flying.

SC Yes.

PLT That darned suit pressure goes down awful slow.

CDR I know it.

CDR Do I push it in?

SPT What do you mean, push it in?

CDR I thought there was a dump position by pushing it in.

23 41 59 SPT There's a dump position by going to ON.

CDR What's the undocking checklist? Why don't you start

reading it? I

SPT Okay, your THC and RHC should be unlocked.

CDR Unlocked. Well, I'm not in the right position. Got

to get you to move the couch over me.

SPT We're Just waiting for suit pressure to come down.

CDR ... taking long enough. I can't move myself back.

I CDR All right,watch me, Joe. Okay, there it is.

SPT Okay. Verify ... the SUIT CIRCUIT REGULATOR is in ...

CDR All right, let me - I've got to -

SPT Get it to minus-X.

CDR No, let me, I've got to move over here a little.
That did it.

SPT In other words, your next step is to actually undock.

Where do you want me? You want me to get down in the
tunnel here now?

CDR I'm going to undock. And don't hit the hand controller,
please. Very nice. Okay, how do we undock, Just go
to EXTEND/RELEASE - -

SPT You go to EXTEND/REL_.ASE and hold it.

CDR Hold it. Paul, probably ought to do that.

CDR Yes.

SPT For less than 20 seconds, then after approximately

2 seconds, the minus-X translation, the probe dis-
engages, then you go to RETRACT/0FF on that switch.

CDR Go.

SPT And the talkbaek ought to be gray.

23 44 26 CDR Ready. Okay, there we go. Now, it went RETRACT. You i

want to go to RETRACT?

SPT Maneuver to SEVA station keeping position and BMAGs to

A_T 1/RATE 2.

CDR Go around; that's fine.

SPT And the next sequence is CMD thrust.

Open DUMP valve ...

PLT ... 16 ... data ...

SPT And the 02 FLOW should be about 6.6. Now it's gone
up. Well, this is after we get done. Why is it going
up now?

it. Okay, what's the cabin?

SPT Near as I can tell, about a half.

PLT Okay, we're within 0.7 of the 02 flow. What's it

say next _ Joe?

SPT It says wait until the cabin pressure is zero.

Obviously it can't get all the way to zero.

PLT Yes.

SPT But it ought to be more than a couple of tenths.

PLT Yes.

PLT Huh?

CDR Can you roll over there and look?

PLT I can't.

SPT What we're doing is gross rate check, Paul, so the

exact number is not that important.

PLT Yes, I know.

CDR We want to dump the whole thing - -

PLT Understand.

PLT That's about a half. Is that close enough, or should

it be more?

CDR I guess more is better - more is better.

PLT Well, I guess you want the DOCKING PROBE circuit

breakers closed, Chief.

CDR Going closed.

PLT Okay, that's one. What do we do with it?

SPT Let it go for 30 seconds, for gross leakage.

PLT 24

SPT Say it again.

SPT Be careful not to blow a bottle while you're doing it.

PLT We have retracted the pyros. They're not on.

for you to keep track when we're docking, believe
it or not.

back on the cue card.

PLT All that darn time out there, and never had time
tc look around.

CDR Yes. Okay, now open up the REPRESS 02 valve until

the surge tank is down to 150, and then close it.

PLT It'll bring some of the pressure off the suit,

anyway.

something.

SPT To the best of my recollection it's two, yes.

CDR No, continue in RETRACT.

PLT All1 right.

PLT The talkbacks ought to be gray.

CDR They are.

PLT Ail right, now, it says PYR0 ARM, ON because that

would be preparing for a hard dock.

SPT Is SECS LOGIC ON?

then to RETRACT, right?

PLT That's right, right. You got to go to EXTEND/RELEASE,

then.

PLT Have you got the six ... docking latches?

SPT It's back in here, I'm trying to Juggle things -

What's the cabin pressure?

PLT The cabin pressure's a little over h - ... dock ...

pure oxygen here. Can you hold it for me, too?

CDR Time for anotherEVA,tonight.

CDR Oh, switch on there ... soft dock that long, babe.

CREW H_h?

CDR Probably did something to the probe swinging on that

lock that long, babe. It surprised everybody,
including me.

CREW Okay.

00 36 42 CDR Hello, Houston. We got a problem. We're repressing

the cabin to 4 - a little over 4 right now. I've
made two attempts to put us soft dock, and now I
can't get one, and we're just about to start through
the emergency procedures. And standing by, awaiting
your suggestions. 12 44, okay, we think ... analysis

CDR And repress bottle to zero, right.

PLT That's right.

CC Good.

CDR Well, see if I can't bring them -

PLT No, you can't bring them up any faster.

CDR I got to wait until the surge tank's _00.

PLT That's what you're supposed to do. Yes.

CDR Now, I'd never believe after that thing worked once.

PLT It worked so nice.

CDR I didn't hold it longer than 20 seconds.

CDR Perfect dock the first time.

PLT Yes.

SPT All right, there's another ... tight fit there. The
other end is tangled up in the COAS, Pete. Can you
free it?

CDR Yes, let's go.

PLT Well, we could look at them before we do _thing.

I don't think they's show you much because they've

SPT What are you going to do - pull the probe out?

PLT No, you don't have to pull it out, you just expose
it, to get at it.

SPT Can you do it from the bottom end?

PLT Yes.

CDR I need that tonight like I need a hole in the head.

PLT Let me look at the malf procedures.

SPT Go ahead. You can read those.

PLT ... hatch. Docking probe will not fold. DOCKING

PROBE EXTEND/RELEASE talkback remains gray after
caputre. That's different. That means you can
capture.

SPT You take out struts of some kind, huh?

PLT ... and then you squeeze the upper end edges to
remove the pyro cover.

SPT Can you open the hatch? What does that do?

the probe end and cocks the docking latches.

CDR I want to load a VERB 49, soon as we get lined up.

I'm tired of ... messing around.

Radial ports.

CDR In the cabin?

SPT Yes.

CDR How did that happen? Turn off the breakers, whatever
it is.

SPT Yes, I know. Holy mackerel.

PLT What's going on back there? Okay, you got the CABIN
REGs ON again?

SPT No. Well, the CABIN B REGs are ON. The CABIN REPRESS
is OFF.

SPT Want to go I_ERGENCY CABIN PRESSURE to L0W - I get

LOW, which I should of, the cabin pressure is 5.6.

want to run into anything ... You ought to attach
your rope to the end of the FAS panel. About ...

Ought to put it in four-jet ullage and keep backing

it ... the end of it. Well, that might happen - Don't
laugh.

PLT No, you're absolutely right. Looks like that might

work. For it to work, you'd have to do a complete
360 of the workshop for recovery ... you know, if
the ground will approve, we can do it.

SPT Are you sure we're not soft docked, backing off?

CDR Oh, no.

SPT Okay. Right.

SPT All right. I have to go to the EXTEND/RET,W.&SE switch

PLT What it did - you went to - presumably hit, you went

to RETRACT.

SPT Because I got barber pole.

01 02 45 PLT MAIN BUS A UNDERVOLT. What the heck w_s that?

CDR You got barber pole?

SPT Yes, on EXTEND/RELEASE position.

CDR Okay. Did you really?

PLT Yes.

01 02 55 CDR You Just left it there, huh?

SPT No, it - it switched to OFF. As soon I went -

EXTEND/RELEASE, the momentary position.

SPT I saw barber poles when we contacted.

CDR Yes?

PLT I said, "Shoot, maybe it's doing something." I left

it in - then it fell back to OFF. The minute it
did - of course, they went gray, I continued onto
RETRACT and they still went gray. That was at about
your count of 3.

CDR ... What's the MAIN A UNDERVOLT? Nothing?

PLT Must have been transitory.

SPT Buying a lot of ...

01 03 36 PLT Yes. They all show up. How's that?

SPT Well, shoot, if you don't mind stationkeeping, you

can stand by for word from the darn ground.

SPT Well, heck. The darn docking was Just like in the
book.

CDR Yes.

PLT Figure out -

01 04 39 SPT What does the book say when to do - when you get -
6 seconds in EXTEND?

CDR Yes.

SPT And then you go to RETRACT, right?

PLT Then you go to RETRACT and I didn't do that.

01 27 24 CDR Well, I wonder what part of the world we' re over.

Anybody have any idea?

SPT No, I really don't.

I SPT Looks like the middle of Australia.

CDR No. It looks like South America.

CDR What are you doing, Joe?

SPT I know it's tough to get in, when I need to get in,
here.

PLT This is probably one of those times when we got a ...

3 hours.

CDR It is. We're way off the range.

CDR Boy, they thought they had problems yesterday ....

again. What's the surge tank and repress package
doing?

01 29 47 SPT They're filling up. About 500 each.

PLT ...

CDR The idea on that one is, Joe, that you get a hard
dock, because you dive the probe into the center
of the drogue, and then aline from rim to rim.

01 30 33 81_ Right.

CDR ...

PLT ...

CDR ... ha, ha, ha.

PLT ... that was 44?

CDR Huh?

Ol 30 54 PLT I've been making contact with this 44.

01 32 01 CDR I couldn't believe that when that thing Just hit.

PLT I didn't either. I hardly even looked up from what

I was doing. I need to stow that.

SPT That's not it. Yes.

PLT I unstowed it. I guess we ought to stow it.

CDR I get the feeling there's no place to maneuver it in.

PLT Yes.

SPT ... maneuvering ...

CDR I wonder if ... CRV ... they get the batteries on us

too, don't they?

SPT ...?

CDR Yes.

CDR That goldarn wing - that's ridiculous.

CDR Guess - Guess what.

PLT SEVA and ISC sail - -

CDR Sail and come home.

PLT Yes. I hadn't even thought of that.

CDR I had. l've got to admit, though, I get pretty

fine control around that bird.

SPT Yes. That's better control than a guy EVA has, though.

CDR Yes.

PLT I'ii tell you that workshop took off and that ...
was hung in that ... (laughter)....

01 36 46 CDR Yes, I saw that.

PLT And I'm hollering for Joe to grab the sample and ...

PLT Could you?

CDR Yes.

01 37 17 PLT I forgot all about that being ... Fortunately, we

didn't lose it overboard.

PLT Yes, I think I got about a full UCTA in there_ now.

CDR Well, I'm afraid we're going to have to say, the devil

huh?

CDR Sure.

PLT Think they'd do that? ...?

CDR All those EREP ...

PLT Oh, shoot. Turn on the music.

PLT Joe, that's the one for -well, it's the same one
for retracting the probe, whether it's - -

01 39 01 SPT Yes.

PLT - - for an emergency dock or for docking ring Jett,

huh ?

SPT Yes, it's for retracting the probe. It should

say J-5. Ah, there it is. Yes, J-5. Okay, that's
it.

CDR You have it?

SPT Yes. Wonder if we ought to - Hadn't ought to

connect it to this end and leave it disconnected

PLT Unless you wanted to do it, as long as you were there.

01 41 06 CDR You don't see us opening that side hatch again, do

you ?

_PT No.

PLT Except for the MSC sail.

CDR Yes. So we better keep things neat and orderly

in the event that we do have to do that.

PLT Yes.

SPT How do you do it?

PLT Well, we might have to deploy the sail, right?

Just means getting them out again.

SPT Well, I'ii leave them out.

PLT Or would you rather put them away?

CDR All right, Joe. What are you going to do with the
hatch now?

SPT I'm going to remove the hatch, per the decal. Which
is unstow, rotate the collar to unlatch, and pull to
unlatch, verify the little bolt there runs in the
slot to unlatch. I'm going to take it out; I'm going
, to roll it down the aislehere where P. J. can keep a
hand on it. And I'm going to follow the steps in the
checklist, which is to remove the bolt that secures
the red pyro cover and then by Just squeezing the
flanges and turning and pulling it out, I'm going to
remove the pyro cover.

CDR Is it one or two bolts?

SPT It's one bolt .... on AUTO, and - Then I'm going to
put the hatch on, again, right?

PLT Right.

02 49 08 CDR Paul, I think while you're doing all this, we probably

ought to leave this hatch valve - We going to leave
this hatch valve open, Paul?

CDR Okay, ...

02 55 26 PLT Now we're ready for this other thing. Remove the
tunnel hatch per the decal. Want me to read you the
procedure?

SPT Let me read the decal. Tunnel hatch removal one,

tunnel lights, on; two, PRESSURE EQUALIZATION valve,
OPEN, counterclockwise; verily.

CDR Wait a minute, let me do data.

SPT Three, actuator handle, unstow; push to stop, set

to U. That was pull to stop; set to U; and push
to stop. Verify the gearbox disconnect socket is in
U, which is in L now. Actuator handle, stow.
Select stow. Push handle to stow and remove the
hatch. Okay. And that's all pretty straightforward.

02 56 16 PLT Yes. So, the first thing is to open the EQUALIZA-

TION valve.

SPT That's what it says.

PLT Okay, let's do it.

CDR Well, I'll close this one, if that's the case. Let's
not have both of them open.

02 56 32 SPT All right. All right, it's open. Now.

PLT Okay. TUNNEL VENT valve; actuator handle, unstow

pull to stop. Okay. It's unstowed, it's pulled to
stop; set to U. Set to U, and it is; push to stop.

SPT Okay, in work.

PLT Got your tools handy?

SPT They're down in the elastic thing.

 --_ Day 146 Page 141

PLT All right, it's U, gearbox disconnect socket is in

U.

SPT Okay, it says actuator handle, stow, push handle

to stow.

PLT Okay, move to the stow position, plank the handle

i down and it's stowed.

02 57 13 SPT Remove hatch.

PLT All right. Now, before I remove it, l'm going to

look at the arrows. They're lined up very well.

CDR Be very careful bringing it out.

PLT Okay.

CDR It can get stuck awful easy.

CDR What 's the problem?

PLT No big problem, I don't think. I think it's ...

about not forcing it. And we should - it's just
a little reluctant to come.

CDR Is it coming?

PLT Oh, yes. It 's coming.

SPT What are you going to do with it?

02 58 02 PLT Well, l've got to get it down out of my way. And

attempt retraction, Okay.

PLT How can you get capture with both out?

CDR ... the one motor is stuck on in the EXTEND/RELEASE

PLT And think if you put the switch to RETRACT, and then
open the circuit breakers, which is the point ... I
think that is the way you're supposed to do it.

front end which has the ... on it, that's pretty well
deployed.

00 45 20 CDR I don't hear any shouts of joy.

PLT Well, it was interesting. You raised it up all right,

and - I am- we can - you can see the tips of both
the back rods now, but the configuration of it didn't
really change at all. It looks as if twirlingit
around and pulling it in might work, and it's a small
chance, I guess.

CDR Okay. Why don't you put some more - well, turn the
ECR on the way in and give it a few more shots of
that. I'll -

PLT Yes.

00 51 36 PLT Yes, that helped a little bit, Pete, but you're right;
it ought to rotate about 15 degrees clockwise.

00 52 03 PLT Okay. It's still moving around a little bit. Just

let it sit there.

CDR I'm not sure I didn't feel the rod unscrew a little.

PLT Well, it could be. Looks like you turned it awful

fast. We can always give her a .., 360 one way or
the other. See if you can shake it a little bit.

CDR Okay. How far does it turn?

PLT It turns Just right. It's lined right up, now.

CDR Is it doing anything for it?

Page164 Day147

00 53 33 PLT Yes, it's doing a little bit, but I think you're

right. I think one of those sections is loose.

CDR Is it locked?

O0 53 41 PLT No. I think it looks like one of them is rotating

a little bit. It looks like one of the rods might
be loose a little bit. You think you - did think
you felt one unscrew?

CDR Yes. I've got it locked in there now. Is it still

rotating?

O0 53 53 PLT No, but while you were shaking it up and down, it

rotated off a little bit one way and then came back,
unless you happened to twist it a little while you
were shaking it.

CDR I might have done that, but as long as it hasn't

smoothed appreciably it's all right.

PLT Well, shake it some more.

00 54 06 CDR That seem to do good?

CDR Little by little, the folds are falling out of the

bad part, which is - I - what I think is doing it.
Now, pull it back into the mark, why don't you, and
shake it a little from there?

00 55 25 PLT Now, did you rotate it at all that time?

CDR If anything, I'd say I rotated it back to where it

was originally.

PLT That's right. That's about where it is now. I tell

you, every little shake just shakes it a little looser
at the back end, Pete, where that material is bunched
up.

CDR Okay. It does look like it fits better, huh?

00 55 54 PLT Well, I think it is, but very slowly. You want me to

come down and relieve you?

00 55 59 CDR No, let me rattle it some more and just watch.

CDR Let me bring it back to its original place.

SPT Why don't you put it back to the line?

, PLT Well, you know - What do you mean, twist or push?

CDR Twist.

00 57 13 PLT Well, you really have to - yes, but do it very care-

fully, because you're going clockwise and when you
get to the end, you don't want to hit a big load so
that it unwinds. You want to turn it very, very slowly.

CDR Okay. Did that other shaking do any good?

PLT I think it looks better. Put it back to where it was

and twist and come up and look. Pull it into a mark.

at it.

now.

SPT It's in SECONDARY, Houston.

Oh 17 50 SPT What's your plan for our attitude? We're not in solar
inertial, you know. Well, you're not even very close;
you don't ... Do you know where to go?

SPT Well, looking out the window. It looks as if you

need a plus rotation about Y and a plus about X,
and I figure ... about i0 degrees, or more. We're
more than i0 degrees off. It's hard to estimate,
but it's a plus-Y and a plus-X rotation. We are
not going to touch it this time; we're going to
let you guys fool with it. We'd like to get in
solar inertial once so we know what it looks like.
... And after that, if we get off, we can get our-
selves back on.

04 19 04 SPT Okay, what are the temperatures doing in the workshop?

SPT We - we haven't gotten to the Evening Report. We're

TIME SKIP

18 41 2h PLT ...

18 52 12 PLT Tape recorder, this is the PLT answering the

questions that were sent up yesterday on the
teleprinter regarding the SEVA. Question 1 on trying
to cut the strap. No, I did not cut the strap,
because I felt we did not have the right tools on
board to do it with. The strap was down very tight
against the beam fairing. Next question: Can you
get to the strap under the beam fair - under the SAS
or beam fairing? Let me explain further to you what
it is or what it appears to be. There is a section
of meteoroid shield which is directly under the beam
fairing, and this is then bolted through the - what
we saw at Huntsville as kind of a standard method
on the meteoroid shield of the shield sheet being
advanced to angle and the angle's then bolted
together, And this is one of those joint lines that
ran longitudinally the length of the meteoroid shield,
parallel to and Just outboard of the beam fairing.
So it doesn't go under the SAS or under the beam
fairing. The next question is: Could I get the
two-pronged tool under the strap? Yes, sir, I could.
As a matter of fact, we almost left it there.
Because that goes with the next question - I did
push in on the beam, got the two-pronged tool
between the beam and the strap and then had one devil
of a time trying to get it back out.
Page
168 Day147

18 53 48 PLT Question 5 is: Yes, sir, the strap is definitely dug

into the beam fairing. What it looks like to me is,
it is really wrapped tight right up against it, and
if there are any protruding bolt heads or bolt
threads, they are right down into that beam fairing.
It's almost like it was put on there. I really - I
almost find it hard to believe it's on there so
tight. Number 6 is the specific origin of the strap
(chuckle) we just talked about - I think. Any more
questions, give me a call. On - Number 7: On observing
deflection, I did not observe any. However, the
commander, watching out his window, said that the
end of the beam fairing, when I first pulled on it
using the shepherd hook, he estimates deflected about
a foot. Now I pulled it towards me; it deflected.
I also moved the whole workshop, surprisingly, at
which point the TACS squirted at us and started to
move back. And, as a matter of fact, the workshop
was pulling the command module for a short while
there. Anyway, any deflection which was put on has
gone back out and there is no oermanent deformation.
Question number 8: There is no sheet metal attached
to this angle strap outboard of the beam fairing.
Of course, there is underneath. The entire section
of meteoroid shield which lay under the beam fairing
at launch is still there.

18 55 27 PLT And question 9, the last - -

19 20 31 SPT Hello, friendly tape recorder. This is the SPT doing

temperatures. The ambient thermometer in wardroom 4,
749 Bravo, reads 103 degrees.

19 26 05 SPT Hey, Pete, the temperature indicator down here is off

Yes, that's the end of bakeout, but Joe already turned
it off.

SPT How about some film vault temperatures? Okay, this

is with the digital thermometer. Drawer Bravo was

was 108.5; Juliett was 107.5; and drawer Kilo, on an
S191 film container, was 106.3. The hottest part of
the vault was the door, which was 109-1/2.

heat break; I'll do that mol sieve thing.

20 43 49 CDR Rog - Roger, Houston. That heat charge is being

terminated at this time. Mol sieve A is coming on

DAY 1_8 (AM)

O0 26 44 SPT HelLo, tape recorder. This is the SPT. l'm

going to resume and repeat and correct the CSM food
log for days i and 2. We've given you the informa-
tion in this procedure and l'm sure the M071 people
are most anxious to find out what is really going on.
So l'm going to go over the CSM menu, day by day,
and fill in the blanks. On day i, for the CDR, he
ate everything. He had 16 shots; that is, 8 ounces
of water. He had no medication. No DELTA H20, no
salt packages. And we had no supplements on that
day. The SPT ate all his food, 15 shots of water,
one Scop/Dex as previously recorded - reported. No
DEE_A H20 and no salt. The PLT ate everything on
day i except one-third of the asparagus and the bread,
at meal Charlie. He had 16 shots of water and one
application of Afrin for nasal congestion. There
was no DELTA H20 and no salt packs. Okay, on day 2
for the Commander, the only foods eliminated were the
_ asparagusand the peanuts. He had 32 shots of water,
and two applications of Afrin in the medication.
No DELTA H20 , no salt packs, and we did not take our
supplements on day 2. The SPT did not consume one
coffee, one biscuit, and one lemon pudding. The
PLT did not consume peach ambrosia, macaroni, bread,
butterscotch pudding, apricots, or coffee. He had
38 shots of water, no medication. The SPT, to go
back, excuse me, had six shots of water and no
medication. And the rest of the log is blank.

O0 29 38 SPT On day 3, so far, to start with, we took our

medication - our supplements for day 2 and day 3 on
the morning of day 3. The CDR took two magnesium,
two calcium. The SPT took one magnesium and one
calcium. The PLT took one magnes_um. This did not
account for items not eaten. These were nominal
supplements.

00 30 07 SPT So far, the CDR has eaten everything in the first

two meals except the corn, which was a bag failure.
The bag failed at its seam prior to being rehydrated.
Got corn powder all over everything. The SPT has
not had his biscuit and jam or his peaches, but he
intends to eat at least the peaches and the rest as
Page
172 Day148

he gets to it. However, the SPT will probably not

get to his apricots tonight or his butter cookies.
The PLT only had half of his bread for breakfast
and has yet to eat his vanilla wafers or his lemon
pudding from lunch. And we're going to be vague on
this probably by evening report, because the days
are running so late. We won't give you the water
and the salt or DELTA H20 until the evening report.
And that's it.

04 34 37 CDR Hello, friendly recorder. On page 2-144 of the

F510 is 13017. And the PRD reading stowed in B-I of
the command module is 49017. Out.

05 23 53 CDR Anybody know what happened to the CSM systems ..., I

mean the checklist book?

PLT No, I assumed that you moved it.

CDR I know where it is. It's up on the ECS panel. We

hsd our ... stuff out of it.

05 37 16 PLT Tape recorder, this entry concerns stowage, if you'll

pass to them. Tonight we dug out the personal hygiene
kit spares container and found that every tube of
Keri hand cream in there had ruptured. I don't know
why. It must have been a combination of the tempera-
ture and the pressure, because the ones that were
stowed in our individual hygiene kits in the waste
management compartment are intact. Also, about two-
thirds of the toothpaste, which is stowed - which is
all the toothpaste on board - which is stowed in the
overage kit, as it were, has burst. And some of it
h_s been cooked to the point where it is very, very
thick and unusable anymore, although some of it still
is usable. And it appears that that will be a re-
supply problem for the next mission.

12 38 53 SPT Okay, B channel, this is the SPT on the MllO blood

letting exercise. The serial numbers are as follows:
for the CDR, his ASP is 153, his vial, 006; the SPT,
ASP 148, vial 004; the PLT, ASP 165, vial 011 ....
procedure, the major problem, so far, is that one of
Page
174 Day148

the ASPs didn't take a good vacuum. It was the SPT's

ASP; it was the last one used, and only about half
the blood went into it. I had to draw on myself
again, using a freshly sucked-down ASP and that worked
fine. I recommend that from now on, and the way we're
going to do it is that I will put the ASP on the ASPER
a couple a minutes before the draw, leave it there and
take it off just in time to receive the blood. That
way, we'll be sure we have a fresh vacuum and no leak-
age and we don't have to do it twice. Aside from that,
the general comment is there is an awful lot of loose
pieces, and the IBCS kit itself will not stay closed -
will not stay down on the table - won't stay together
at all because the material is so stiff and the Velcro
- there is a lot of it, but none of it holds. It's
lousy stuff.

12 43 51 CDR Those are - l'm guessing - probably 70-percent air.

Starting today are the first good urine bags that
we've been able to install with a f11]] vacuum pulled
on them. So I expect to see things improve on that
with tomorrow's sample. If it weren't for the fact
that we had such a spectacular view out of the ward-
room window, which we didn't open until yesterday eve-
ning late, I'd think we were back in Houston simming.
Right now, we're over Italy where the weather is spec-
tacularly clear. We can see just about all of Italy,
from one end to the other. Oh, clear across the Med-
iterranean, going over some land l've never seen be-
fore. Okay, hopefully, we'll all be done breakfast
by then and we got a few other questions for you, and
we'll start working the probe and whatever else we
need to do.

12 49 43 PLT Okay, B channel. Just had an accident with a - an

instant breakfast. There was a lot of air in the
(cough) in the container before reconstitution, and
there was quite a bit of instant breakfast powder
leaking out the top before reconstitution. On recon-
stitution, it wouldn't accept the 6 ounces of water
because there was too much air in it; and, consequently,
the water leaked out around the nozzle.

CDR Gosh darn it.

of fluid in and don't get too much air in the water
and hold your finger over the nozzle while you're

13 23 12 SPT Tape recorder, for urine sampling, if you'll pass on

to the - whoever's concerned with that. Just to
straighten out the records, the first day's sample
on the sample bags are logged as day 145. The second
day's sample, which is the day they were collected,
is logged as day 146. The third day's sample was
logged when they were sampled, so that picks up today
with 148. Therefore, on the sample bags, day 147 is
missing.

13 27 20 CDR Good morning, friendly tape recorder. The PRD read-

ings of day 148 are as follows: for the CDR, 44011;
for the SPT, 18011; for the PLT, 06018. End of message.

13 50 06 SPT Hello, B channel. Let me finish MIIO. The centrifuge

worked okay. All the plasma samples are clear; however,
two of them, the CDR's and the PLT's, had large bubbles
of gas in them. And I suspect this is the same prob-
lem that the ASPER, after it evacuated, is leaking back
rather rapidly and that those two had more air in it.
The procedure I discussed previously for evacuating
the ASPER will take care of that. A glance at the
specimens seemed to show that the SPT's hematocrit
is lower than the other two. This may be a crude
index of hydration, and l'd like you guys to figure
out something we talked about a long time ago and
never did anything about - and that is the crew
hematocrit index, based on the level of the separa-
tion between cells and plasma on the outside of the
ASP.

the PLT worked about 20-minute intervals; - wearing

10-minute breaks to cool off while erecting the

could tell we were beginning to strain, and it was
time to leave and cool off a little bit. I think we
could have worked 20 minutes down there and 5 minutes
up in the cool all day long. We did drink plenty of
water that day.

mation for the photo people. We had a transporter

failure on transporter 01, which I was using instead
of 02, to load the film trim on 92/M171. I was also
using supply reel Charlie India 01 and takeup reel
Mike Tango 01. And we had three consecutive failure
jams in the transporter using that combination. I
then switched both transporter and supply reel;
transporter to 03 and supply reel to Charlie India
02. And then I didn't get a jam in the transporter, i
but the takeup reel failed to take up. So I
switched the takeup reel to Mike Tango 02, and
everything works fine. So the situation now is
that we have transporter 02 with supply CI02 and
takeup MT02 ready for M_I51. Transporter 01 is in
the locker slot where I got 03 out of and it's red-
taped. Supply reel MT01 is going to go back where
it was - came from red-taped. I don't know what's
wrong with it. And supply reel 01, Charlie India
01, if we find it - it slipped off the Velcro and
it's gone - if we find it, l'm going to put it back,
and we'll give i_ another try before we declare it
failed. Can't say anything in detail about the
jams, except that they were in the transporter, and
film was either not getting through at all to the
takeup reel or getting through in a very bent-up
and damaged condition.

be replaced? And I'll load the magazines now with
set Quebec. Is that correct?

CC Okay.

PLT Also, I Just put it on tape, but to make sure, the pad
said to put the empty cassette bags in F521. That's
chuck full to the gills here, so I put them in F520.

19 50 40 PLT Hello, tape recorder. Stowage note. On the S190

cassette bags; that is, the bag that the replacement
S190 film was brought up in, the pad says to stow
the empty bags in F521. However, F521 is still full;
therefore, the bags are in F520. That's the empty
S190 cassette bags are in F520.

PLT Okay, I got the 190 window.

19 59 21 SPT Okay, you can give me the answer in Carnarvon; it's

no sweat. Also you had a question on the solenoid
vent valve. We have not cleared the debris yet.
We have not had a chance to clear any debris yet,
and it really needs it.

19 59 40 SPT Okay.

20 04 46 SPT Friendly B channel, the SPT with some ATM dumps. On

the JOP 6 building block i that I ran, the second 82A
exposure inadvertently reached a duration of 4 minutes
instead of l_inute and 40 seconds because when l'm
using the timer - l'm sorry. On the JOP 4 - no,
rather, building block 4B, I maximized detector i on
the H-alpha bright spot. And, indeed it is possible
to maximize the detector by a factor of 3 or 4. So
I got a reading of about 650 to 700, as compared to
a background of 150 to 200. And I got it to about
one slit width or a little more outboard or toward
the limb from the bright spot at H-alpha. That might
be useful both to the PIs and to the training people.

SPT And let me time tag those remarks; the time is 20:05.

me to try to clean it or just leave it be?

21 19 26 PLT Okay.

21 19 38 PLT Okay. Also, we may have to move the spare hot water
heaters to some place so they won't - because they're
in the way. I'll have to stow one of the rear ...

checkout, when I checked drawer L, drawer Lima,
to see if the film would advance, the film had
taken significant set. The film could not be
advanced merely by lowering the metering guide
roller. I had to open the side access door and
help feed the film through the bottom platen area
with my other hand. As I said, it had taken
significant set. In all cases, the film that was
exposed at the platen opening was discolored, and
I think all of it was darker than the rest of the
film. I ran approximately a foot and a half of
film through on each cassette in order to get all
the set film on the takeup cassette. End of S190

were quads B and D plus-X AUTO RCS light switches
turned off prior to trim burn? The answer to that
is no. The solenoids were hot. However, the fuel
shutoff valves .... Maybe, that's a no-no, but I

answering the questions that came up on the tele-
printer on day 149. Question number 4: Was ...
as presently loaded in the ATMDC? I really don't
know; possibly zero. I suggest, if Houston is unable
to load one in the ATMDC and they want a particular
one loaded, we'll be glad to do it for them. But I
don't remember the last time I loaded a maneuver ...

03 36 32 SPT Okay. Question number 6. I did report that - that

S082A had the OPERATE light ON after the mode termi-
nated. And I'm trying to remember what the mode was;
I think it was AUTO. No, I know it was AUTO, but I
don't remember if it was AUTO 2 or not. Let's look
that up on the ATM schedule pad, which is not handy
to me at the moment. The light was on until I stopped
it by going MAIN POWER to OFF and back ON. Hitting
the STOP switch had no effect on the OPERATE light.
The PLT subsequently reported the same thing during
his night pass.

03 37 20 SPT Number 7 is confirmed - about the integration time.

The half second is obviously an estimate. The fol-
lowing ones were i second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, and
I don't know if I had - I don't remember if you caught

13 32 36 SPT Good morning, B channel. This is the SPT with some

comments on the Mll0. The centrifuge is working
very well; however, it's still not batting a _housand
on the complete procedure. Today, the PLT's blood
appeared to be on the verge of clotting when it got
into the ASP. And although I evacuated the ASP, per
the procedure I discussed yesterday; that is, leaving
it on the needle until it was ready to receive the
blood. It worked fine on the other two. The PLT's
blood didn't go in very well, and I don't know whether
that's because of an inadequate vacuum, or because
perhaps I didn't shake the syringe hard enough and
the - for one reason or another we had some clotting
problem. As a result, his plasma via] did not fill
and the blood sample that you will receive has a
layer of plasma at the top of the column of blood,
but no plasma separated. The other two were fine.
And that's about it. The only other procedural com-
ment I have for the follow-on troops is, when you
withdraw the needle from the ASP after inserting the
blood, you should wrap a tissue around it, because
it's very difficult to exert Just the right amount
of pressure not to withdraw blood from the ASP, and
also not to get a spill from the needle when you
withdraw theblood.

15 14 43 SPT Okay, B channel, a couple of notes on MI31. On the

OGI mode, for some reason the alignment between the
biteboard and the goggles was imperfect by, l'd say,
5 to 8 degrees of nick side tilt [?]. In other
words, if he hit the biteboard, his head was to the
right or to the left of where it should have been
for the goggles. We did a little of metal bending,
and we wind up with his head firmly in the goggles
and straight, but he's not in the tooth holes in the
biteboard anymore. On the MS mode, the forward
proximity center is too short to be reached at all
by the subject when he bends forward. This is
because it was marginal in the first place, and
because you float up higher in the chair in zero g
than you do in one g, and you just can't get down
there and reach it. Another design comment is that
the seat belt with the Velcro does not hold you well
enough.

TIME SKIP

15 45 28 SPT Okay, B channel, this is MI31; the PLT. The MS mode -

The results were as follows: 150 head movements were
performed at 0 r.p.m. At 50th head movement, the PLT
reported that he felt like he was moving. Pitching up
and rolling left as in a ... This is not a symptom;
it's a comment. The 70th head movement, he repeated
that comment, saying he felt as if his gyros were
drifting. At the 150th movement, he noticed epigastric
awareness and a little salivation at about ii0. How-
ever, those symptoms decreased in intensity and he
finished around 150 head movements with essentially
no symptoms. And also, while - l'm - l'm not going
to repeat the direction of rotation in the responses
on the OGI test because the first test, l'm not sure
whether I entered them all correctly. And on the
fourth level, I thought I had entered them all cor-
rectly, but the machine said increase, which was wrong.
So here we go. At level i, clockwise - no, that's -
sorry - counterclockwise, left, none; clockwise,
right, none; clockwise, none, right; count - counter-
clock - clockwise again, left, right. That's level 4;

Clockwise, right, left; counterclockwise, left, left;
clockwise, none, left; counterclockwise, left, right,

16 19 59 PLT Hello, B channel. On S019, a preliminary check of

the timer shows that opening the shutter as indicated,
and stopping when indicated at 30 seconds gives
you 30-second exposure, and at 270 seconds it gives
you 275-second exposure. 4

17 20 22 SPT Okay, B channel, this is ATM operation - the 17:13

pad, building block h on filament 62. The roll is
exactly the same today as it was yesterday. The
pointing, I think, is about 20 arc seconds - I was
going to say lower. It'll be lower, and I'ii give
you experiment roll, which is minus 5640; in other
words, about 30 arc seconds farther east than it
was yesterday, because the portion of the filament
just beyond the western pointing end of it appears
to have thinned out ... between today and yesterday.
So in an effort to fill the slit, I moved the slit
about 30 arc seconds to the east.

much of the temperatures in the monitor is fair but

is not as great as it was in training; that is, if
you move the disks into the monitor, they don't
disappear quite so quickly. Which makes it easy to
do a survey - you can have about a quarter of a TV
screen filled with disks, do a front-centered roll,
and - and ... it into ... as it goes by. For the

the ice - piece of ice in the middle of it which we

previously described. It also has what appears to be
a dirty film, probably on the outside of the outer
pane because it has what appears to be water streaks
down it and since they do tend to the aft end of the
vehicle, I suspect that that same water was on the
pad. There is quite a bit of oily-looking film. It's
hard to tell if it's on the inside or outside of the
outer pane. A few darker, dirty-looking spots like I
condensation. And in these tracks it looks like
some water has run down over the window.

ll 49 00 CDR Hello, tape recorder. Concerning the C02/dewpoint

there is something wrong with our detecting equip-
ment. First, the Allen wrench part of the one batch
of screws stripped out on first application. We
had to get a hammer and a screwdriver and make our
own ... _o open it with a screwdriver. Then when
I opened it, around the port A hole was a consider-
able quantity of film of dried, white, powder-like
substance, almost as though something inside the
port for A had broken and flowed out around it and
subsequently dried. Then I went through and per-
formed a protocol in each of the four locations - the
three sleep compartments and at the mol sieve inlet
- the mol sieve A. The readings were all the same -
CO 2 - also temperatures and these readings were:

C02, 12 part - Correction, C02, 12 millimeters of

mercury; TEMPERATURE, 85; DEWPOINT, 45. The mol sieve
readings are: M0L SIEVE A INLET, 3.5; TEMPERATURE

12 47 50 SPT Good morning, B channel. This is the SPT answering

his day ll5 [sic] evening questions. Question num-
ber 4 on water purification,the PLT did that. He
states that the color development was rapid. Ques-
tion number 5: during the flare drill, S082Awas
operated in the flare mode for approximately 4 min-
utes. Number 6: on the S055 high voltage - Let me
answer kind of 6, 7, and 8 by giving a little chron-
ology of it. We were doing mirror line scans with
all detectors reading zero, and the detectors would
all come on the line normally. The interval between
turning detectors on was about 1 second. The order
was: i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6, 5 - i, 2, 3, _, 7, 6, 5 -
Sorry - as usual, and the indications were normal.
There was no immediate tripout until the mode was
started, at which time I would look back to check
on it a minute or so later, and it would have tripped
out - with a SCAN SPECT light and no READY, and no
OPERATE; and three times I reinitiatedby shutting
all the detectors off and all the detectors on again,
and the same thing would happen. The fourth time, I
left detectors 5 and 6 off when I turned the others
on, and the mode then continued normally. During no
other mode except mirror line scan has the detector
ever tripped off.

14 19 13 CDR Hello, friendly B channel. Message 0719 Delta. The

answer to question l: Following ... S082 mode, does
the operating light stay on? We haven't tried AUTO
1 yet, but it stays on in TIME and AUTO 2. Question 2:
When the S082A door opens the next time, is the ready
light or operate light on? The answer is: The ready
light is on when we start the experiment the first
time; the operate light comes on, then stays on
forever until you cycle the doors. Question number 3:
We'll have the answer for you a little later today,
but as I remember you asked yesterday, "Have you no-
ticed any drift around H-alpha 1 pointing around 1

noticed some drift, but I don't think it's as far back

14 35 49 CDR Hello, friendly B channel. This is the CDR with

another comment for the follow-on crew. We have had a
fair amount of trouble with the 16-millimeter, 400-foot
magazine combination running all the time. But the
first thing is, all the noises that you're used to
hearing on the ground - the clickity, clack, clack,
clatter, click, clack - it does not do that at all up
here in zero g. It's a whole new set of sounds that
you have to see. And also you don't get the Jerky
... out for some reason that you see on the takeup
spool as it's first threading. And practically the
only way that you can check if you've really got a
good thread is to do all the things, and then take
your pen and mark - take the magazine off, mark a
frame, put it back on the camera, and run it again to
see if it's gone through. But it's an entirely dif-
ferent set of sounds up here. So all your good train-
ing down - down on the ground running that thing, you
can neglect them.

15 50 05 PLT Tape recorder, this is M133 on the SPT.

SPT One!

PLT Oh? Oh, M131. Excuse me. M131 for the SPT. The
time is 15:50 GMT. Ha! Ha!

SPT End of message.

16 30 31 SPT Friendly channel B, this is the SPT with the M131-2

debriefing questions. It's more difficult to - Stand
by l, please.

SPT Okay. We will note, first of all, that the point

planning time allotted for the -2 run was sufficient.
It's 45 minutes per subject. Now back to the question.
It is more difficult relative to ground-base trials.
The internal frames of the reference appear to be as
easy as they ever were. However, the external frame-
of-reference fittings represent pretty much pure
Page
222 Day151

guesswork. It's a pure visual turnaround. You look

at the workshop, you intellectually figure out what
angle you're at to it. You know, l'm pitched about
20 degrees, and l'm rolled about 15 degrees. And
then you set - you close your eyes, and you set the
pointer to the internal frame of reference and then
you bias it by those stored-in-memory amounts of
degrees. So you're not really using the vestibular
apparatus to make this external frame-of-reference
judgment at all. And since it's difficult for the
visual system, I think, to judge small angles like
that very accurately and then - and then to set them
in, the errors are probably going to be large, but
they ought to be more or less random, at least over
a period of time.

SPT Now, any conflicts between sensory cues for making

judgments in perspective to the external frame of
reference? No, I simply noticed the absence of the
overriding gravity clue or cue, which makes it so
easy in one g to detect how far you're pointed off
the vertical. In answering question i, I said that
we estimated visually the number of degrees off the
vertical or the horizontal that you were, and that's
true, but it's much more difficult to do in zero g
than it is in one g because you don't have that gravity
clue. Did I - In answer to number 3, no, never a vesti-
bular sense to the upright. The brain, l'm convinced,
gives you its own frame of reference all the time, but
in zero g this frame of references up there on left/
right reference frame changes any time you want it to
change. And it does not appear to be influenced by
the vestibular system. Answer to number 4 is no.

16 33 34 SPT Number 5 is a very good question, because in the 0GI

mode yesterday, both the PLT and m_self noticed that,
at the very low settings, the line target appeared to
move slowly back and forth with a period of i to 2 sec-
onds. I noticed today that the same thing occurred, and
obviously it's a - not related to rotation. It's a
drift that we have where our head is steady here at
zero g. It's a left/right, left/right, l-to-2-second,
small amplitude, but noticeable oscillation. And
number 6, no additional comments. Oh, yes, I do have
one. In the litter mode, since one is strapped to the
litter only by a very inadequate Velcro strap around
the chest, you tend to flex and jackknife, and it's very
Day151 Page223

difficult to keep straight and to keep down on the -

on the chair. When - In interpreting in your litter
mode data, you might keep in mind that the internal
frame of reference might not be parallel to the litter
but at some angle to it.

17 20 44 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is the PLT. These are

PLT's comments after his _131-2 run. Question i,
degree of difficulty: It was much more difficult due
to the lack of a gravity back there. It was quite
difficult, as a matter of fact. That angle, I think,
is quite small for making - to be able to discern.
 Page
224 Day151

Number 2, conflicts between sensory cues: They were

hardly worrying me, so there were no conflicts. A
positive sense of the upright at any time: No, not
really. I'm not sure now I understand what you mean by
the question. Okay, assuming that question 3 means
a positive sense, such as the gravity vector, the
answer is negative. Judgments influnced by auditory
cues or orther enviornmental factors: Negative. Did
the line target appear stable: Pretty much. It did
have that same sort of lateral oscillation that Dr.
Kerwin, the SI°T, noted after his run, previous. He
described it just as I would. As he mentioned, it
showed up first in the rotating mode yesterday. And
I have no additional conments or observations. Bye.

17 50 33 CDR Hello there, friendly channel B. Just a little bit

for the M487 checklist writers. While activating the
M487-1A sound-level meter/frequency analyzer, down
at the bottom of page i-i, it says discard black

wire wrapped around it. That's it.

18 33 24 SPT Contamination observation on window - STS window 4.

The window itself is clean. However, it has several
linty particles on the outside. These come from the
fact that on all STS windows, which I neglected to
mention before - this is one of the most noticeable
looking into the Sun, is that as you open and close
the window cover, it rubs over that silver foil in-
sulation and frays it. And the backing material ap-
pears to be some kind of cloth, and that causes linting.

19 13 14 PLT Hello, B channel. This is the PLT with the M487-3

Alfa. Going to page 3-3 on restraints and mobility
aids. The fireman's pole we have not used yet because
we have not needed it. The 0WS dome and wall handrails
have, on occasion, been of some use, primarily for
stability. They are not used for transiting the dome
or forward areas. We do that by point-to-point
translations free floating. Same thing with the STS
handrails and the MDA. We've generally found that
you just move about this vehicle by, as I say, Just
oushing off and translating from point to point. You
use these handrails, but you use whatever is available;
Day151 Page225

a surface - the mol sieve surface, the back of the

ATM chair, whatever you need just to give yourself a
little tweak to keep yourself trimmed up. The hand-
rails are not needed for translation. Handholds and
handrails are needed for stability. And on occasion,
for example, yesterday when I vacuum cleaned the
plenum inlet screen at the top of the dome, I found
the ducts themselves very handy for footholds. I'd
wrap my legs around them and use that to stablize my-
self while I was vacuuming the screen. The triangular
shoes in the grid have come in very handy. The mode
we've gotten into usually, most of the time, is you
only hook in one shoe. Consequently, we've been try-
ing off and on - we'll comment on it later - on two
triangles as opposed to one triangle and one mushroom.

19 15 03 PLT The water tank foot platform has been used on occasion
when working in a dome locker. I think it's been
necessary and useful. Again, the usual use for myself
has been to hook one foot in one of the triangular
cutouts.

19 15 21 PLT The A%M foot platform has been used so far only to
hold the captain's chair. We have been using the
captain's chair almost exclusivelyat the ATM.
The portable foot restraint platform in the MDA: the
CDR used it yesterday for an EREP run, and it appeared
to work quite well. He said he was quite happy with
i_. The portable PGA foot restraints we have not
used. Portable handholds: The only place we've really
used them is in the vicinity of the bicycle ergometer,
and we were attempting to figure out how in heaven's
name we can really ride that bicycle and get some work
done in a fairly reasonable manner. Portable equipment
restraints: You could never have too many of those,
... tethers, bungees, universal mounts. The one thing
that you're always looking for in a vehicle and we
never - there are never too many straps or Velcro -
correction: not straps - snaps - never too many snaps
or Velcro patches in the vehicle itself. The ATM
seat backrest restraint has been used. It's got the
airline-type belt on it, which is a necessity. Velcro
just doesn't do the Job in zero g for a belt. You
look at the belt on the M131 chair, and it is practi-
cally negative, useless. The conical shoe cleats, we
are still evaluating. They come in handy at times in
that they are quick and easy to use relative to the
Page
226 Day151

triangles; however, the one drawback to them is that

occasionally they get caught in the grid when you don't
want them to. Let's see now. Waste management: I,
as a new boy, and hearing horror stories from the old
hands, have been ... deliriously surprised with the
operation of the waste management equipment, the fecal
collection and the urine collection both. The air
stream on the fecal collection unit works quite well.
You must - I have found personally that you must use
the belt, and I must use the handhold and pull myself
down on the seat to make sure you get a good seal.
The better the seal you got around the lid of the seat,
the better the equipment seems to work. The urine
collection equipment: Once we found out that it didn't
work right unless you had a fecal bag in, otherwise
you don't get enough suction to the urine receiver -
Works quite well. It is - it stays surprisingly clean,
and after some _ days of use, the urine receiver and
hose has no odor, which I was concerned about prior
to launch.

19 19 37 PLT Okay. Pressing on to page B-_, food management. The

wardroom table is, as far as an eating station, is
very nice. Just like training. The thigh restraints
I use two ways: either as designed or I also hook
my knees over the innermost of the two crossmembers.
I find that I personally don't use the footstraps at
all. I just hook my knees over the thigh restraints
and, with light pressure on the toes against the table
pedestal, maintain myself in position there. So that
covers the first three, I guess. The food reconstitu-
tion dispenser is - is good. Let me look at your def-
initions.

19 23 20 PLT Okay, tape recorder. I find that, for I don't know

how long, I've been holding the record switch up on
this c_m box instead of the intercom box. Hopefully,
(cough) I got the rundown on work restraints. I got
page 3-3 on there. I'll do page 3-4 over again. The
wardroom table is convenient. It's - We've been using
it Just as we have in training. The thigh restraints
I use two ways: one is to put my legs in in the de-
signed method. The other is I hook my knees over the
innermost of the two crossmembers and with light toe
pressure against the work table pedestal, I maintain
position that way. The foot restraint - for either
the straps or the triangle fittings I haven't been
Day151 Page227

using at all. Food reconstitution dispenser: Those

water dispensers need some kind of handhold in their
vicinity.

19 24 16 PLT It's fairly difficult to press down on it, especially

a juice bag, which is filling and unpleating its ac-
cordian style at the same time. I think we need some
sort of small fingerhold, not a handhold, right around
those water dispensers. The water gun works, as I sup-
pose you know; it's easy to use. It takes about three
shots of water before you get chilled water, but that's
all right. The food tray has worked out fine. The
beverage dispensers are too small. Each accordian dis-
penser that you put in there for each accordian con-
tainer we put in there seems to be around 1.05 times
as big as the drawer's desigh. The drawers need to be
about lO percent bigger than they are. They're hard
to open, hard to close, hard to get drinks in and out
of. The freezing dispenser has worked fine. The eat-
ing utensils have worked fine. It is a necessity that
they be held in place magnetically. The teaspoon, I
still think, is too small, although I have brought my
large spoon down out of the command module. The mis-
cellaneous eol_imn: The sleep restraint is extremely
useful, versatile, and very good, I think. You can
quote "lie" unquote in any position you want. On your
back, on your side, on your stomach, with as many
covers as you want. It's all been quite nice. Trash
a_rlock - is all right. Right now the opening seals
in the lid are in very good shape, plus that it takes
a pretty good heave. You either have to lie down,
straddle the thing, and really muscle and twist down
on it in order to release the interlock so you can get
the lid lock up over where two people have to use it.
We have also taken to taking our urine bags and folding
them double and wrapping them in five or six turns of
gray tape. It was because we had a slight palpitation the
first night in. We dumped some urine bags from the
COmmand module and evidently t_ey had quite a bit more
air in them than these urine bags have had. But we put
it in, put the urine bags in, dumped the airlock, tried
to push it out with the ejector, and it would only
move - It hardly seemed like it moved at all.

19 26 46 PLT When you tried to take a look, tried to close the outer
door and could not, it was obvious that what was in
there was stuck part way out. So we thought that on
Page
228 Day151

day 2 of the mission, we had already lost the trash

airlock. However, by judicious application of force,
we finally got the thing rammed down, decided that
it was the air in the bags expanding the bags being
exposed to vacuum and just flat being too big for
airlock had j_,_ed it in there. So subsequently, as
I say, we've taken to wrapping them with tape. The
vacuum cleaner was used as such for the first time
last night to clean the - all inlet screens to all
fans. It worked very well. It was used mainly on the
flat debris screen surfaces where you could get at
them without any attachment on it at all. Now on a
couple of fans, where I had to come in on an angle, I
used the crevice tool, I believe it's called, and
cleaned it that way. The wardroom table is, as far as
noneating uses, has been used sometimes as a working
table and kind of reading checklists and sometimes
working on small equipment. That is the end of
487-3 Alfa.

19 28 17 PLT Tape recorder, if you missed any item on page 3-3 on

this 487-3 Alfa, let me know and I'll do them again
in case I was holding the record switch up instead of
intercom switch for that.

19 35 12 PLT Tape recorder, for the M131 on the SPT. We consider

the first two steps that we did yesterday on the OGI
mode to be validated; therefore, we're picking up with
the third step today at level 8. The subject's state
of fitness is cranky as usual; therefore, no concern
or use.

20 00 23 PLT M131 on the SPT. The nitrogen pressure on the chair

is 1200.

20 00 59 SPT Tape recorder, this is the SPT with the debriefing

from M131 OGI mode. Question number l: I had a slight
sense of rotation at the last step only. Question
mlmher 2: Yes, and I debriefed on this previously
that the light target occasionally exhibits the tend-
ency to oscillate back and forth slowly. And it seem-
ed to occur both at the low steps and then to some
extent at the higher steps. It's superimposed on the
illusion, or rather, the illusion is superimposed on
it. And I think it accounts for the irregularity of
some of my responses. The only additional observations
I have are on the hardware. The misalignment between
biteboard and goggle is such that it's impossible for
Day151 Page229

me to hold the biteboard in my teeth and still have

a light leak - or a light seal through the goggles.
I have to almost swallow the biteboard in order to
get a light seal. Then, of course, the settings tend
to change because of zero g. And l've noticed that
it's very easy in zero g to let the biteboard supporter
float up from its stop, which destroys the angle be-
tween your horizontal canal and the axis of rotation.
You have to be very conscious about not letting it do
that. That 's all.

20 04 08 PLT Note of interest for MI31 for the MS mode. In zero

gravity, you float up out of the chair such that it is -
We don't remember whether we debriefed this on the
tape or not yesterday. You float up out of the chair,
and you Just cannot reach the proximity detectors ;
therefore, we are going to continue this flight with-

without the batteries, et cetera. I never found out why
the readings were so erratic. The next step I did -
Your next step on your procedure was to slip the
M509 batteries and the T003 in their proper location.
This could not be done with the food trays all on.
So I took the upper three food trays off, four of
them, rather. Then I strapped on M- two
M509 batteries, plus the T003, with gray tape. And
then I ran a sequence on that configuration. That
is one double ... food trays, plus the batteries
in the T003, and the numbers came out like this:
5.00129, 092, 266, 248, 234, 299, 261. Then I went
and got the other food trays again, put them back on
the table. Had to put new gray tape on them, so I had
two sets of gray tape for each of those four trays,
properly labeled. And - and the numbers on that
were, 6.77815, 790, 681, 644, 817, 728, 750, 881,
811, which is a reasonably good series of i0 readingS.
And, Bill, I don't think you're going to get any better
than this. Even with all the tape and stuff on it, you
can still hear noises every now and then as that thing
goes - goes by. There is no way to properly secure
all that gear - even the food trays, with the rig you've
got. It's very sensitive to ..., it's very sensitive
to motion, it's extremely sensitive to any spacecraft
maneuver, however small. A TACS firing with a
saturated CMG would probably throw your readings out.
So, I don't think the inherent accuracy of the machine
is bad. But I think that, as installed, let's not
go to any more trouble to get the accuracy greater
than we got on this cal. End of the message.

23 16 56 SPT Okay, tape recorder. In case you think we've been

loafing all day today, let the SPT read you the
results of the M131-2 spatial localization test,
conducted on the PLT this afternoon. Beginning with
page 4-16, I will read you a pitch and then a roll,
separated by a proper voice pause. I will read you
internal five figures in five rows; external
five figures in five rows. Here goes: 18, 305;
20.5, 301; 17, 22, i - make that 221; 16, 315; 16, 301.
Now the external: 15, 306; 18, 302; 16, 302; 16, 309;
15, 309. Moving on to page 4-18, internal: 180, 175;
183, 183; 185, 180; 186, 180; 178, 181; 197, -belay
that 197 and that is the beginning of the five
external readings, pitch and roll. And here they
come: 197, 183; 193, 183; 195, 180; 196, 178; 192,
177.

23 19 ii SPT Okay, on page 4-22. Internal: 19, 300; 21, 308;

18.5, 310; 15, 301; 18, 300. And the external:
19, 304; 19, 306; 185 - 18.5, 305; 00, 305; 17,
303. On page 4-24, internal: i00, 165; 105, 165;
109, 167; 108, 164; 105, 165; 193, 177; 194, 177;
192, 185; 193, 183; 198, 186. And on page _-26
this is off the Biomed Checklist, by the way -
internal: ll0, 164; ll5, 165; ll2, 167; ll3, 165;
ll3, 167. External: 193, 192; 194, 194; 195, 191;
197, 192; 202, 188. Now, that's all there is for that
experiment. Now I'd like you to take a note for
general distribution, requesting and recommending
that logging of future M074 and M172 calibrations and
M131 spatial localization work and similar things
like that, that are both written down and voice
logged, that we eliminate the voice logging and
instead bring home those few pieces of paper that
would allow us, accurately, to transmit the data to
the principal investigator. The crew is always
encouraged to use the voice logging, in order to
avoid that unnecessary writing. However, in cases
like this, where we have to do both, it's very time
consuming. The time has not been allocated in the
Flight Plan, and it's causing us to fall behind.
And in some cases, I suspect the data is getting lost.
Thank you.

23 22 h6 SPT Now, friendly tape recorder, this is the SPT once

again with a brief discussion of this afternoon's
MO92/M171 on the PLT; for distribution to th@
medical operations and the medical investigators,
Page234 Day151

and whoever else - the Flight Directors, also. The

overall results were very similar today, as you will
see when you get your data dump, to Paul's first run.
The leg volume parameters and heart rate parameters
didn't look quite as much changed on M092 as they
did the first run. Subjectively, it was the same,
as far as Paul was concerned. And the calf measure-
ments were even smaller. They dropped below
14 inches on the right leg; although we still used
the 14-15 cuff, because he has the reference band on
that leg. On the 171, in my conversation yesterday
I recommended that all the protocols be lowered by
some i0 to 20 percent. I received no update on that
today. What we decided to do in the interim was
simply to revert to the preflight n,,mhers that we
have been using. We don't believe that this bicycle
is really less tough than the ones we trained on.
It's impossible to tell because the environment gets
in the way too much. We still haven't psyched out
what the best way to do it is. Paul did it pretty
much the conventional way today, hanging onto the
handlebars. He ran in the protocol of 105, 155,
and then, at the 210 point, we changed it back to
200. And from now on, he'll run it 100, 150, 200.
And Pete and I will also run it at our preflight
levels. And we'll see how we do on that. It's
considerably more than a 75-percent workload,
subjectively. The oxygen consumption does not
bear that out, although the heart rate and blood
pressure do; and the very peculiar reversal of CO
and oxygen is something I can't explain and would
like to hear your thoughts on. I don't know whether
the machine is out of calibration or whether this
is a real effect that we're seeing, but it occurs
even at rest. And it's most interesting. I don't
think, in - in - in summary, that Paul has shown
any degradation. I don't think the thermal effects
were as bad. The - We've acclimatized, at least
subjectively, to the temperature in the workshop.
And it doesn't really bother us any more except during
heavy exercise. I do think that - that our baseline,
both for M092 and M171, as far as degradation during
the flight is concerned, should be the first run that
we made and not the preflight data baseline. I'm
watching the M092 results carefully and am standing
by to eliminate the 50-millimeter step on myself or
any of the other crewmen who appear to be in border-
Day151 Page235

line. And on the MI7!, we've made our recon_nendations

for lowering the workrate, mud we'll keep you posted
on how we are managing to ride the bike. One ve_¢
important thing is that we all believe that we're
using different muscles up here to ride the bicycle
in zero g. We're trying to find out how to bring those
muscles into play most efficiently. We're also
trying not to degrade our physical condition by rel-
ative inactivity by lack of exercise. There is
supposed to be One session of PT in the Flight Plan
for each crewman on every day when he does not do an
EVA or a major medical. This has been faithfully"
scheduled in most cases, but it's been scheduled
strictly on paper, as far as we're concerned, because
the other scheduled tasks have taken so much time
the; they have completely absorbed and wiped out PT,
PH, and, in some cases, meals. I think that's a - a
mistake. I think that bringing this crew back
healthy and as little degraded as possible, in their
exercise tolerance and their capacity to withstand
gravity, is one of the importan.t objectives of the
flight,.and I would like to see PT and PH put in the
schedule on an honest basis and give it priority
over most other objectives. The big problem is, when
you have something running late in front of it and
something like ATM or S019, that is - that has a
firm, fixed schedule behind it, and it Just has to go.
l'd like to see it scheduled in such time that, if
you're late getting there, you can just go ahead
and do it and hot hurt something that c_me up an
hour or so after it. End of message.

01 08 05 SPT B channel, SPT with a report on the 00:16 ATM run.

Active region 18 was the object of study. It is one
area of reasonably bright plage on active region 18.
I noted that it was possible to peak detector i very
easily. The background was running between 50 and 75,
and over the area of plage, it was running 5 to 6G0,
with very sharp discrimination and very colinear with
the H-alpha display. This was surprising and pleasing,
and it should be passed on to the training people.
That's about it on solar discovery. The - about the
only thing I remember doing wrong on the building
block was I prematurely started S056 and 82B - just
prior to step B of building block 4 without pointing
properly and I immediately stopped and, I guess, proba-

After a little more dark-adaption, again looking
toward the south, we saw several streamers that
almost appeared to be aurora, although they did -
_ppeared to be a little too high up in latitude for
that, although maybe not. Either that or noctilucent
clouds. The only thing I could - other thing I could
think of, although they did appear to extend above
this other sphere - this dimly illl_m_nated sphere that

22 37 42 SPT Hello, friendly B channel. This is 22:38. The

M131-2 spakel - spatial localization on the CDR is
over. We started it at 22:00, and the next voice you
hear will be that of the CDR himself answering the
debriefing questions.

CDR Hi there, i. Describe the degree of difficulty

relative to ground-based trials in making spatial
orientation judgment. I thought they were both about
the same.

CDR 2. Did you experience any confilcts between sensory

cues, particularly when making judgments with respect
to the external frame of reference? If so, explain.
No, I didn't. 3. Did you at any time experience a
positive sense of the upright? No, I didn't. 4.
Were your judgments influenced by auditory cues or
other environmental factors? No, they weren't. 5.
Did a line target appear stable and under your
f_ complete control during the spinning? Yes, it did.

CDR No, I didn't.

SPT Okay.

CDR Well, my additional comments and observations are that

I use mybody as a means of determining both internal
and external frames of reference. And since my body
is not very well anchored to this chair up here at
zero g, I suspect that I can wander plus or minus
5 or l0 degrees from my normal in one g because my
body wanders; and the ... still, as it doesn't do
here .... arm and so forth, in essence, ... stays
still. And that is that. That's the end of my
comments.

active regions around; and since we didn't really
use a whole lot of f_]m, I pointed at what appeared
to be the remnants of probably active - probably the

13 44 09 CDR Hello, friendly tape recorder; this is the CDR on

S183. The time is 13:44; it's that sequence
number 1 has been initiated on star field n1_mher
252 on plate 006.

13 45 45 SPT Okay, friendly B channel; this is the SPT at 13:45

with an M487-3A, subjective evaluation of the fol-
lowing equipment items. The OWS fireman's pole
has not been used. I believe, that if it were in
place, it would be a handy helper for - moving
rapidly down the workshop and for carrying large
objects with one hand; however, the strap, while
it probably doesn't do as good a Job - satisfactory
Job - and we don't have any present intentions
of rigging the fireman's pole. Okay, the OWS dome
and wall handrails, again, are adequate for their
Jobs, maybe even give them a very good. Their Job
is not to hand-over-hand it - you never hand-over-
hand it around that place, unless you've got a lot
of equipment in your hand and are carrying a
large package, for instance, that you want to make
sure you don't get looseJ You ordinarily fly from
one location to the next, and all you need when you
get there is something to grab onto, and the hand-
rails are perfectly satisfactory for that. I
Page2h8 Day154

think the handrails in the STS, are very good.

Once again, they're not for hand-over-handing.
They're for steadying oneself at work stations,
stopping whe n you come flying through the hatch.
You want a handrail to grab to torque yourself
around on to get into position to look at a panel.
Having the panels circum - the handrails circum-
ferentially around the various panels is a very
good thing.

13 47 53 SPT Triangular shoes. We all wear the triangular shoes

most of the time. They're not at all necessary for
translation or walking. And, of course, we never
use them in that mode. They're extremely handy
for keeping oneself steady at a work station
while doing a Job, leaving both hands free. We
have several kinds of mushrooms and buttons for the
shoes up here. My personal preference now, the way
I'm going, is to wear the large mushroom on my
right foot and the triangle on my left foot. The
triangle is quite helpful when you want to concen-
trate on something else for a few too many minutes -
want to lock yourself in and stay locked. However,
it's a lot of trouble getting _t in, and a little
trouble getting it out. With two triangles on my
shoe, it drives me up the wall, because it takes me
30 to 45 seconds to get locked in at a spot, which is
a waste of time. Between the mushrooms, I've evaluated
the medium and the large. I thought the medium mush-
rooms were adequate, but they were too easy to slip
out with, and you had to concentrate too much on
keeping your foot pressed against one corner of the
triangle so that the mushroom wouldn't pop out. With
the large mushroom - this is not nearly so bad. They're
fairly easy to slip in and they hold very well. Some-
times they're a little trouble getting out of. Trying
to get it out in a hurry, you have to sometimes look
down and figure out which direction you have to go.
I think, for that reason, Paul prefers small ones.
I prefer big ones. In summary, triangle shoes are
mandatory. If I had to make an improvement, I
would have loaded two pairs of shoes on board for
each crewman, so that I might leave the triangles
in one of them to ride the bike with and put mush-
rooms in the other.

13 h9 55 SPT The water tank foot platform is handy but not required.
If you're working at a dome locker for a period of
 Day154 Page2_9

time, it is very pleasant to be able to stick one foot

into a mushroom or a triangle into one of the holes
in the - in the foot platform. So, if you're Just
going there to get a loose item of equipment, you can
steady yourself on your hands, then open the locker,
steady yourself with your hands again, reach in and
get what you want, and steady yourself again, and
close the locker on the way down. The portable EREP
foot platform, I have not used. The portable PGA foot
restraint, we have not yet used. The portable hand-
holds have not been used. The portable tether hooks,
I am currently using to try and rig ropes with handles
to hold myself down on the bicycle seat while pedaling
the bike. The portable tether hooks hook you to the
floor grid and the ropes are attached to them, and
various locations can be selected either forward or
aft, of the - of the pedals to try and find the right
axis along which to exert the force. The big difficulty
here is that we didn't think, when we put all the extra
junk in the experiment compartment, how handy those
triangles were going to be.

13 51 23 SPT And on the right-hand side of the bicycle there is

virtually no open grid work or holes between tri-
angles to put things in. The shower is much too
close to the bicycle. Okay, portable equipment,
these three: the straps are extremely useful. The
short straps, I haven't used too much. They are
really too short to tie things to. But the long
straps and the equipment straps are extremely useful.
I have right now, the entertainment tape recorder
strapped to the radio noise burst monitor here -
monitor here at the ATM panel. Bungees we find very
useful, particularly down in the wardroom and so on
for temporary restraint of cameras and checklists.
Smaller things than that, such as pads, the bungees
are not adequate for me, because they - the pads
slip out and makes it too flat or too smooth. But
anything that's got hooks on it, like a camera,
works out very well under a bungee.

13 52 29 SPT The - One item of equipment that is a pain in the neck,

and it's not useful at all, are the large clipboards
that snap in the standard snap pattern. Everytime
you touch one of those things, they come flying off.
On the other hand, it's a major operation to get them
back on the snap. And we Just made a bad mistake by
assuming that we could snap something to a flat wall,

f-
Page
250 Day154

especially something with any standoff, such as these

clipboards have, and then exert any force against it.
The ATM seat is very useful, although you don't
really sit in it, obviously. You have to push the
seat belt down prettytight - if you want your
back to be supported. I find it useful because it
gives you a body-centered restraint from which you
can work against. You can reach the whole ATM panel,
and you can reach the co_n box, and the TV selector
switch on your left. You can't reach the VTR on the
right, and you can reach - myself, I can only r@ach
the very nearest checklists and the checklist com-
partment. But, of course, by loosening the lap belt
you can then reach the VTR, you can reach above you -
all the lockers - you can reach the radio noise
burst monitor, you can even ziggy over and see
what time it is on the MDA panel, bring yourself back
to the ATM. And you can work either with or without
the foot rest. Without the foot rests - I mean the
lap belt - without the lap belt, it just serves as a
sort of a - nook. You know, your - body floats be-
tween the ATM panel and the chair, and it's useful,
too. I think it's a great tool. I've already
talked about the conical shoe cleats. I called them
mushrooms. The fecal collection equipment - works,
much to our surprise, if one is careful and takes
it slow. Stand by.

13 56 46 SPT Okay, B channel, where were we? Fecal collection

equipment. The airflow method of collection
appears to be practical. A larger airflow, I think,
is mandatory on future mission designs. This one is
marginal. However, the method appears feasible.
And the urine collection, not only is the method
feasible, but the flow is probably adequate or very
close to it. The urine flush water dispenser, we
have not used. Let me get back to fecal collection
equipment to mention something I said on channel B
before. Stand by a minute.

13 58 01 PLT That's all I could see, so I didn't bother.

13 58 08 SPT Okay, B channel. The lap belt on the fecal collec-

tion unit is a Velcro type thing, and it should be
a positive lap belt, such as the ATM chair. The
handwasher is quite useful, although I think, in
future design, we could arrange an enclosed one, so
that you could actually work with water, rather than
Day154 Page251

having to soak everything up in a washcloth. It's - it's

extremely useful to have a water dispenser in the
head for taking a sponge bath and wiping things
down, and a handwasher serves that function very
nicely. Okay, the - I talked about the lap strap.
The handholds are fine, they're well-placed, and
they certainly are necessary - in the fecal collec-
tion system. The handwasher handrail, let's Just
say, in general, that it's nice to have some hand-
rails around the waste management compartment for
parking your body. The foot restraints in the waste
management compartment are not good. The locations
are okay, except I notice that two of the foot
restraints tend to interfere with the CDR and the PLT's
waste compartment drawers, opening of same, some-
thing we ought to avoid in the future. The problems
with the foot restraints as they are: number l,
they're Velcro; they are not - very easily adjustable
for size, and they keep coming apart. Number 2, they
are not large enough to 8_m_t the cleated shoe, and Just
the bare or slippered foot. And that problem has to
be thought through and some better foot restraints
provided. And foot restraints are very handy and
even required in there.

14 00 09 SPT It's nice to have a small, closed compartment like

that. You can go in there and close the door and
kind of bounce around. The waste management system's
ceiling handrail - didn't know there was one. The
light-duty foot restraints, I think we've talked
about. Our drying stations are adequate and handy.
Things dry out very rapidly up there. And as for the
zero-g shower, it's a pleasant experience, and I
think it proves the - the feasibility of the prin-
ciple that man can live in a small close space with
water, and he's not going to drown, because the water
does not fly through the air. It sticks to whatever
is there, mostly you, partly the walls. Again, I
think the airflow in there is grossly inadequate.
The method of containing the water and getting it
into a, you know, compartment where you can throw it
away, is not good. It takes forever to dry both
oneself and the walls, using the inadequate little
vacuum cleaner that we've got, and some better method
ought to be come up with. But the principle of
crawling inside a shower and spraying yourself down
is great.
Page252 Day154

14 02 17 SPT Okay, channel B, we're back to food management equip-

ment now. The wardroom table, the eating station is
fine, except for the comments on the foot restraints,
which are of the same type as the head foot restraints,
which are inadequate. The thigh restraints do their
job, but require foot restraints along with them in
order to be maximally useful. And the option exists
of hooking the mushroom into a triangle. We do that
sometimes. Again, there aren't enough triangles
underneath these various working stations, in partic-
ular, in the wardroom, because so much of the area
has been used up by structures of various kinds. So
the idea of having a slip-in foot restraint there is
good, but we need a better kind.

14 03 06 CC ... Hawaii at 14:14.

CDR Roger.

SPT Okay, Tood reconstitution dispenser: No problems,

really. You need a little something to react against
when you're pushing the food down into the water dis-
penser. Generally, you either brace yourself with
your thigh restraints or you put one hand on the edge
of - of the food table and pull at that while you
push down with the other hand. The water gun is just
fine. It's an excellent piece of equipment. The food
tray is okay, except that the friction set should be
spring clamped or something of that sort, so that it
can tolerate food cans and, in particular, drink
containers of a wider dispersion of sizes. A very
common event is for a small food tray - small food
can or drink container to just go wandering off,
because it doesn't stick in the friction sets. Aside
from that, it's a fine thing. The food cans are okay,
with the split-the-seam proviso. The beverage dis-
pensers have a couple of drawbacks. They are adequate;
they are doing the job. But aside from the failure-
type things, such as valves that leak air backwards
and seam failures that we've had, none of which, by
the way, has been catastrophic, the problem with the
beverage dispensers is that the tendency, when they
are half full or less, is for them to suck air. And
the nozzle you have to flip into the top in order to
drink has a tendency to stay in place and allow them
to suck air, which gives you a mixture of half beverage
and half air, and that's not good. Okay, seasoning
dispensers - I don't use the salt much. It tends to
 Day15h Page
253

bounce off the food a lot. It doesn't taste very

good. I think that needs work. The eating utensils
are fine. The sleep restraint, I think, is an excel-
lent thing. The only improvement I would make to it
at all is to put an additional elastic strap lower
down. You wouldn't have to use it if you didn't
want to, but I think it would be handy. The trash
airlock: so far, so good. It's easy to use, with
the exception of closing and locking the doors is
almost a two-man Job, because of the forces required
to compress the seal. Its reliability, of course,
remains to be seen. The vacuum cleaner, fortunately,
I haven't had to use. I have never liked it. I don't
think it sucks enough, but I haven't used it on the
flight. And the wardroom table for noneating uses.
The only noneating use that I've put it to, aside
fram Just sitting there reading pads, is making notes,
and it's quite adequate for making notes. You don't
need a flat surface. So all you need is the re-
straint - something to lean your elbows on so you
can exert pressure with your pencil. And that's it
for 487-B.

14 18 07 SPT Fire alarm. I think we learned our lesson on that.

16 23 18 SPT B channel, the SPT at 16:18 with some comments

on JOP 4, so the Pls will know what the heck l'm
doing. They saw the little foulup with the
55 grating; after having announced to them what
I was going to do, I hustled back to the panel,
hit the start switch and it was still in a
grating mode, so I blew that. l'm going back
and getting the right grating and giving them
a raster down to at least line 50, which I
figure will cover the whole prominences, and
that's putting me behind. So l'm going to do -
going to do building block 6A, followed imme-
diately by building block ii, which are in the
same pointing and roll. Then I will do 6B and
get 82A in fourth time exposure with a good
roll - orientation. I hope I get through. You
guys are still crowding these dayside passes as
though we were operating with a nominal ATM, which
we definitely are not.

16 31 40 SPT Friendly B, another comment from the SPT on

JOP 4. The pointing in this case, since the
prominence is almost perpendicular to the limb -
is almost perpendicular to the limb - the problem
of course, is that when the prominence is centered,
there's enough disk visible on the display so
that it can't be seen. So I have to - I had
to kind of guess how far the prominence
sticks out, based on what I saw when I had -
when I move all the disks off the - off the
TV screen, and then come back and try and set
the roll and the pointing up, without being able
to see the prominence. I have pointed far
enough off the disk so that, if my calculations
are correct, the 82B slit will not be completely
filled with prominence, but it won't have any
Day154 Page
255

disk in it at all. The best way to handle a

_rominence like this, appears to be - Stand by.
ppears to be - to polnt'the display until you
can see the prominence.

16 33 05 SPT Then roll until the prominence is parallel to

the vertical scribe marks, or reeticles, and
note the length of the prominence. And also,
center the base of the prominence of the
vertical - reticle.

Then you can point - you can slew back - to

get the prominence toward the center of the
crosshairs. You know your roll is right, you
know your left/right is right, and the only
thing you have to estimate is your up/down.
End of message.

16 34 13 CDR Hi there, friendly tape recorder, this is the

CDR on day 154 at 16:35 for an Mh87-3 Alfa,
subjective evaluation, guide 1. Work
restraints/mobility aid: The 0WS fireman's
pole; we have yet to rig the pole, and we
will do that sometime later on in the flight and
give you an evaluation. Right now, we have been
using the strap that runs from the dome to the
grid floor, and that has been sufficient for
us to transport ourselves back and forth, and
I'm sure that the fireman's pole will be in the
same category. The OWS dome and wall handrails
have worked out very well. I rate them very
good and - and really it's Just that there might
be a few places that you may add additional
handrails, but we have not found that to be a
problem at all. And the wall handrails, along
the wall itself around the SAL, of course, we
haven't really used. We've spent most of our time
locking ourselves into the grid floor with
our shoes, or holding onto the SAL experiments
to hold ourselves in place while we operate them.

PLT Houston, Skylab. Sometime at your leisure, would you

remind us how many exposures are on a roll of Nikon
color exterior?

CC Wilco
_ag_
256 Day154

PLT While you're at it, how about the color interior?

_6 35 59 CDR And the STS handrails are all right. But

unfortunately, in the STS itself - the way you
hold on to the handrails and so forth - we've
had a great deal of difficulty in not touching
the instrument panels and circuit breaker panels.
And even with the guards on them, we have most
likely with our feet, tripped a lot of circuit
breakers and thrown a lot of switches inadvertantly,
and have not been aware of it at all. So,
although I rate the STS handrails as adequate,
the previous reasons were ... and just adequate
and there is more to the problem than just
handrails uD in the STS. (Music) Now the
MDA handholds - handrails are really quite limited,
and there is enough equipment sitting around to
find places to anchor yourself. But we could
have done, I think, a lot better in thinking
out how we were going to work up there in
placing handholds and handrails in the MDA.
So I'm going to rate the MDA as poor - because
of the various items of equipment and the
difficulty you have in holding yourself down
in there.

16 37 30 CDR The water tank foot - foot platform, for myself,

works out extremely well. I find it quite
comfortable to lock my feet in the water tank
foot platform to work in the dome lockers.
I've had no trouble with any of the tasks that
have been involved. And I rate those as excellent.
The ATM foot platform has worked well. We had
the chair located at the center of it for the
person that's working at the chair, another
person can lock in at - either end and can talk
over the SIA or to get into the 126 - M146 [?]
checklist box, which we have to on occasion,
and you don't bother the person who is working
the ATM. So that has been good to work at. I
rate that as excellent.

PLT Did you copy those, Joe?

SPT No, I didn't.

Day154 Page257

CDR Now the portable M512/M479/EREP foot platform:

We have only used it in the EREP station so far,
and I have used that at the EREP station to operate
the C&D console. And I also rate that one
excellent. The portable PGA foot restraints - I
have not had an opportunity to evaluate yet.
we have not done any suited exercise, and so we
have not used them. We have found that we have
not used any of the portable handholds .... no
reason to have portable handrails; and therefore,
we have not used them. Portable equipment restraints:
We have used no tethers, but we have used bungees
quite extensively. We do use the universal mounts.
We find them quite easy to use, and find them very
handy. They work well on the camera. They work well
on the portable fan and the TV. There are no big
complaints or anything about the universal mounts. I
think we can do a better Job on bungees. I - I don't
know exactly how. Fireproof straps - the fireproof
strap leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't work
its way through buckles well, and it is not very
strong. And springs have a tendency to get permanent-
ly stretched - and to stay bunched - the same strap-
type of material on either end of them makes them
cumbersome to operate, although we do use them. I
rate these spring bungees as adequate and I rate the
tiedown strap as poor. I commented a little earlier
on the ATM seat/backrest restraint. I rate that as
very good. Some of the improvements ... We have
found that we would tilt it a little bit differently
than you would expect it in evaluating it at one g.
And - it does turn out that it probably would be nice
if it were padded with some softer material; however,
it's possible if you worked the back and seat pad
arrangement out a little bit differently, you wouldn't
quite get the same pressure points that you get .... ,
but I find it very good. From this - the sense of
having to work the ATM panel being locked in with Just
my feet versus having this chair, I have to rate the
chair excellent. I think we would have got very tired,
very rapidly, using our toes Just to lock in to the
ATM and to work the ATM.

SPT Hi, Paul.

PLT Hi, Joe.

PLT We got to talk- -

16 41 31 CDR At this time, as of yet, I have not had an opportunity

to evaluate the conical shoe cleats with the grid. I
have been using the regular triangle shoes - shoes -
and they are - I would have to rate as adequate. They
do have some shortcomings. If you're only working with
one foot locked in, it isn't a short cut at all - for
the duration of unlocking a shoe - that as it unlocks,
it's a slowdown. We have found out that it is possible
somehow - at least _ ... out without it being unlocked
and then when you go to stick it back into the grid
again, you find you can't get it back in. And you go
change your shoe and you find out that it's caught in
the lock.

16 42 26 CDR Waste management and hygiene equipment: this whole

area turned out to be a fantastically pleasant sur-
prise. I probably was most adamant against the fact
that I didn't think the fecal collection equipment
would work, and we have all discovered pleasantly
that it works in an absolutely outstanding manner,
and I have to rate it as excellent. The urine col-
lection equipment also, I have to say, after all
the evolutions, works in an outstanding manner. I
have to rate iS as excellent. As yet, we have not
used the urine flush dispenser. The hand washer does
dispense water very well. We've had no problems with
that. I rate that as excellent. The fecal/urine col-
lector lap strap and handholds are an absolute re-
qnirement to the fecal collection equipment working
correctly in that you do have to pull the cinch down
and hold yourself down very close and firmly on the
seat in order for the airflow to work correctly. And
when you do do that, the fecal collection equipment
works excellently, and therefore, the straps are
necessary. Perhaps - I'll call the straps very good.
Perhaps they could be designed to do a little bit
better Job of holding you down on the seat than they
do right now, but we'll work on it. But this one
does serve adequately.

16 && 08 CDR The waste management compartment handwasher handrail

is a very usefully placed handrail. We use it all
the time. I have not used the waste mauagement
ceiling handrail at all. And the waste management
compartment light-duty foot restraints are, I think,
excellently placed, but leave a lot to be desired, in
Day154 Page259

that the strap over the foot restraint, which is made

again out of that fireproof, not-very-strong material,
is a pain in the neck. And it hangs up the CDR's urine
drawer going in and out all the time. And they are
difficult to fit. They don't hold well because of
the excessive amount of plastic material, whatever
it is. However, when you do get your feet in them,
especially in front of the window, or using the mirror
when you're shaving,washing your hands or anything,
I find them quite adequate and ... very well, and
they are excellently placed.

16 45 13 CDR The drying stations work all right. The

towels have a tendency to float out into the
work area due to the airflow. We have found ...
does an excellent job. The shower worked
very well, but it took longer than expected.
The amount of water is adequate. It sprayed
the water on and it's very good. The only
thing is the amount of time it takes to dry
it up afterwards, and that takes a fair amount
of time. There could be improvements to the
water container and that ... on the back side
of where the controls are. It is difficult to
fill and maintain a ... bring it around and back
to the other side but these are all minor, and
the shower works ... operate every day, make you
feel very good. And other than the fact that it
takes a little while to glop up the water, I think
it 's very good.

16 46 20 CDR The wardroom table - it's adequate as to the

area ... off-duty rather than anyplace else.
Thigh restraints worked very well. However, I
think that the wardroom light-duty foot restraints
and they - Give them very poor again, because I can't
use them because they're flat on the floor and
the material is too stiff - it's hard to get your
feet in them, and therefore most of the time, if I
should have my triangular shoes on, I lock into
the triangles. Next one. The water gun works
very well. We have have no trouble with the
water gun. The food trays are excellent. We had no
trouble with the food cans. The beverage
dispensers again leave a little something to
be desired. Putting them on the reconstitution
valve and doing all those good things with the
little nozzle flopping around and ... are really
Page
260 Day154

not too - not too satisfactory. The water had

air in it. There's no doubt about it that every one
of the drinks are full of sir bubbles and ... caution
if you have air bubbles ... drink it right ...
air bubbles ...

CDR Yes, the salt squirts out okay, if you like

liquid salt. (Yawn) And it's better than no
salt at all. They are a kind of a pain in the
neck. You pull open - and I prefer cutting
because when you pull them open there's no
telling which way they're going to spray.
When they're cut open they spray fairly
uniformly ... The eating utensils are
fine, although I find that I can use both a
bigger fork and a bigger spoon ... three Skylab-
sized knife, fork, and spoon set.

16 48 16 CDR The sleep restraint, I think, works very well.

Again, I think there could be more improvements
to it if they would have ... the materials that
hold you against the back more solid rather than
the three straps. I think this would be an
improvement, but the basic idea of being able
to hold yourself against the back with a strap
has worked very well. The only thing that
I've left, and I don't really care for is I
don't like ... my head (yawn) so I usually
slide down far enough in the shaft to put my
head next to the - underneath part of the pillow
or on the side of the pillow that faces towards
my feet and move back up so ... so that the side
of the pillow holds my head back in towards
my body, and I sleep in all four positions ... my
right side, left side, back, and roll all over
the way over facing the ...

CDR ...

16 49 55 CDR Vacuum - vacuum cleaner I have not as yet used.

And the wardroom table, one might say we
collect there, inflight, and work there right on
our log books and so forth ... and I think the
wardroom table is excellent. And that ends the
M487-3 Alfa debriefing. Thank you.

17 44 38 SPT B channel, SPT, with ATM comments at 17:45.

.At the beginning of this pass, a strange thing
Day154 Page261

happened. I went Sun center, turned the WHITE

LIGHT CHRONOGRAPH MAIN POWER to ON, did not
expect or get a READY light. I went ahead and
issued a START command, and I began taking
exposures as evidenced by the frame counter. At
the end of the series, I went TV MONITOR
to the WHITE LIGHT CHRONOGRAPH position, and
lo and behold, I had a picture. Now my
expectation was that when I turned the MAIN
POWER from STANDBY to ON, the mirror would
automatically be positioned to the CAMERA position.
But evidently, it wasn't. I am going to repeat the
standard series to make certain that we get
photographs. And that's the end of message.

17 59 56 SPT Can I use the B channel, Pete? Okay, B channel, this

is the SPT commenting on the second rev of JOP 4 at
18:00. My pointing this time for building block 6 is
parallel to the limb, but off it by about 8 arc seconds.
There is prominence in there, although I haven't filled
the slit as completely as I did before; and this gives
82A a better break. There's the one large prominence,
And, south of it, there are two or three shorter
stubby ones. And we're cutting across all of those.
End of message.

19 09 16 PLT Hello, tape recorder. These are the EREP monitor

readings I'll give to you in a Jiffy here. Alfa 5
reads 73; Alfa 6 reads 0; Bravo 2 reads 56; Bravo 3
reads 78; Bravo 6 reads h2; Charlie 5 reads 84;
Charlie 6 reads h6; Delta 4 reads 72; Delta 5 reads
13. Looks pretty good. Okay, opened the 190 window
there ...

PLT I haven't been using it for anything.

19 l0 49 PLT Okay. Those doors are open. The 192 DOOR's coming
OPEN.

19 ll 14 PLT There's the 192 HEADY light. Go back to CHECK today.

190 POWER, ON; AUTO SEQUENCE. We have a 190 READY
light. The color code light is still on. Yes, the
heater switch oscillate is off, and we have not yet
gotten a DELTA T_4P light whenever we've turned that
heater on. Okay. Turn it to STANDBY. Charlie 7 is
up to 38 percent now. Bravo 7 is down to 95. That's
because I turned this off. Not a piece of red tape!
Page
262 Day154

19 13 05 PLT Okay, TAPE RECORDER POWER is coming ON. Okay, we're

ready; 192 is in CHECK; 91 is OFF, 90 is on STANDBY;
93 BAD, STANDBY; 93 SCAT, STANDBY, now. 93 ALTIMETER,
STANDBY now; and 94 is ON. Point ... site 22. That's
i0 minutes now we've got for that cooler to come down.

19 13 02 PLT At 19:16, I come in at - 15, remain at 6.

PLT Yes, why don't you put some of that cream on it?

PLT (Laughter) Oh, we got a dandy data line on Jupiter.

Come on, cooler. A watched cooler never comes down
in temperature.

PLT Hi, Mom (laughter).

PLT ... at 107. No, go ahead. No, I kind of hook my

toes over a hook down there.

CREW ...

PLT (Chuckle) Well, I hook my toe on the other side of

it, because if you pull on it, you're pulling it toward
the closed position. Besides you'll SAFE it. Even if P
you unlatched it, it wouldn't open.

CREW Why?

PLT Because the pressure is holding it shut. It opens in.

(Laughter) Come on, cooler! 58. (Laughter) Well.
Tell you what, all I do is start this, get the tape
up to speed, and you hit me with an auto cal. I'll
give you a mark.

19 15 40 PLT Because we're still in the maneuver then.

19 15 54 PLT Problem, yes. Okay. At 19 hours and 16 minutes, for

information, the S191 cooler case temperature indicates
40 percent - 40 percent. The - No, excuse me. Yes,
cooler case temp is 40 percent. Thermal detector
temp is at 89 degrees, coming down - slowly.

SPT ... That's a loser.

PLT Man, these are one after the other there, aren't they?
(Laughter )
Day154 Page263

PLT Yes.

PLT Did you start, Joe? Crazy.

PLT Okay, 1 minute until I need an auto cal from you.

And that's indicating 88 percent on the detector
temps. We aren't going to get the thermal channel
this time. We don't know.

PLT Yes, I think it's up to you.

19 18 56 PLT Okay, stand by. Give me a CAL. Okay?

PLT Okay. During that CAL, meter reading Bravo 7 on S191

is reading about - 87 percent is the best I can
make it foryou, tape recorder.

19 19 46 PLT Hey, Joe, you can lock that antenna out there again.
It's going to do all kinds of crazy things this time.
No, not so - not so crazy on this one, Just back and
forth.

CC Skylab, Houston. AOS for 15 minutes.

PLT Okay. We're in the maneuver.

19 20 37 PLT If you got nothing else to say, Bill. For the

EREP guys, for information, I put this on tape.
Right now Charlie 7, cooler case temp is reading
41 percent. Bravo 7 thermal detector temp is
reading 87, that's 87 percent.

PLT Hey_ you want this light on?

PLT It's not on.

PLT We there yet, Joe?

SPT ...

PLT No, attitude, I mean.

19 21 49 PLT Okay. SCAT's ON, RAD's ON, two READY lights. 192 is
ON, we got a READY light, and we're not in attitude
yet. S190 is running. READY light.

19 23 23 PLT Okay. Status for the EREP for the C&D panel, right
now. Everything is normal, exceDt no S191 READY light
and the SlgO COVER CLOSE light is on.
Page
264 Day154

PLT S191 thermal detector temp - I can make it 86, if I

tried hard. Okay, SCAT's gone STANDBY; PAD's gone
STANDBY. IN-TRACK CONTIGUOUS, ZERO. SCAT 's ON ;
PAD's ON. Okay, and now, for some reason, getting
a flickering GIMBAL light on S193 --

19 25 24 PLT Yes, it's a PITCH GIMBAL.

19 25 34 PLT SCAT, STANDBY; RAD, STANDBY. I'm going to have

to CAL on 194, and the ALTIMETER is going ON.
Got a BEADY light.

PLT Huh?

CREW ...

PLT The other person reports that he got all three of his
VTS lights this time.

19 27 04 PLT The altimeter looks good. Nor - I don't see the

flicker of theUNLOCK light this time. Okay, 192
is checked now. Standby for an auto cal on that,
Pete, at 5 seconds.

19 27 29 PLT Now, give me an AUTO CAL, please. Thank you.

PLT Yes.

19 28 36 PLT Okay, I Just got an ALTIMETER UNLOCK light, and it

was on for about 3 seconds and went out, flickered a
couple of times, and it's staying out now. Probably
was the end of the mode, I would guess.

19 29 08 PLT Okay, ALTIMETEE is STANDBY; 94, OFF; 93 RAD, OFF;

SCAT, OFF; ALTIMETER, OFF. Should be the Gulf Coast.
Again?

PLT Okay. Can you see that cut in Padre Island?

19 29 51 PLT Okay, gang. On the status report on the 191 cooler,

it's struggling, but it sure isn't coming down. I
could call it - it's on the heavy side of 85 percent
now.

19 30 39 PLT Okay, 192 to READY. We got a kind of a late TAPE

MOTION light, but it finally came on. It's emAzing.
It took almost l0 seconds for that TAPE MOTION light
to come back on. I'm switching 192 to READY.
 Day154 Page
265

19 31 20 PLT That TAPE MOTION light is flickering, ground. It's

coming on, then it starts flickering, getting dimmer.
It will go out, and then comes back in. It's been
on steady ever since I started telling you that.
(chuckle)

19 31 46 PLT 192 to STANDBY - or in CHECK. Should go to STANDBY

and the TAPE MOTION light blinked off and came right
back on. We'll wait for that to time out. Also, for
information, EREP gang, monitor Charlie 8's tape re-
corder ... remaining is oscillating between 20 and
40 percent, at about one cycle per second.

PLT What time do you start the maneuver, Joe?

PLT Give me a mark when you start it, will you, please?

19 32 52 PLT Hey. EREP, STOP. I guess - You guys really had

that S190 figured out. It stopped exactly on the
pad time.

PLT Okay, we're going off hot mike, Houston.

P 19 33 20 CC Copy. Skylab, Houston. We'll be LOS in i minute.

Vsnguard at 19:44. We would like for you to delay
housekeeping 70A, that's the mol sieve fan, until
presleep activities today.

SPT Okay.

PLT Right.

19 35 43 PLT Hello, B channel, for the EREP gang. At Greenwich

time of 19:36, monitor B-7, Bravo 7, reads 83 percent,
83 percert.

19 43 33 PLT Tape recorder, post-EREP. The tape recorder 1

indicates 34 percent - 34.

OAX 155 (AM)

01 17 38 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 01:18, recording

the small mass measurement device, SN_4D, calibration
as follows. The crew-man is SPT. The day of the year
was 153. The unit calibrated was the waste management
compartment unit. The start time was 21:22; tempera-
ture, 77 degrees. Sequence 1 - and again some ground
rules, friendly channel B. On the first reading of
each sequence, I will read off six digits, thereafter
I will read only the three or two significant digits
that changed, followed by a pause between each one.
In some cases there will be five numbers; in some cases
there will be as many as l0 or 12, depending on how
long I had to go in order to meet the ground rules.
Okay. Sequence i: 1.96701, 635, 653, 597, 649, 669,
33, 56, 51. Second sequence: 2.04146, 161, 187, (cough)
130, 061, 125, 153, 53, 27, 44, 50. Third sequence:
2.11398, 86, 89, 76, 82. Sequence 4: 2.18397, 386,
257, 328, 363, 371, 395, 333, 357, 375, 372, 376.
Fifth sequence was 250 grams, 2.31780, 815 - 715, 770,
736, 699, 741, 748, 730, 751. The sixth sequence:
2.44407, 401, 384, 358, 432, 405, 387, 505, 378, 378.
Seventh sequence: 2.62190, 182, 154, 207, 189, 199,
269, 176, 190. Eighth sequence with 750 gra_ is
2.89487, 494, 524, 455, 487, 475, 468, 505, 462, 490.
The ninth sequence is 3.04686, 684, 662, 670, 652, 654.
And the last sequence, again no waste - no mass,
1.96490, 547, 607, 588, 586, 570, 614, 608, 613, 590,
605. And - oh, the comments I made on the BMMD ap-
plies pretty much to this one except that the wastes
don't apply. The thing is so obviously so sensitive
to vibration, wind, technique, vehicle movement, that
it's difficult to calibrate it within the accuracy that
you are seeking. And this is an example of what it
takes to do it. End of message.

01 50 16 SPT B channel, this is for the medical people. It is a

report on the IMSS drugs, their status appearance,
care, and feeding. Dear medical people, I was a little
bit bemused at your requesting me to check for chemical
degradation of all those'different drugs. I'm really
not an expert at that. So, instead, let me Just
tell you what I did with all the drugs. Andyou can
take it from there. I came up, as you know, with the
command module medical accessories kit, plus an ad-
ditional kit that you put on board to replace those
drugs probably spoiled on Skylab. I also came up
with three additional pages to the IMBS Checklist to
tell me a bit about the drugs and what they do. And
let's go through those pages. Page xii cbntains
category I drugs. Do not use, definitely spoiled.
Epinephrine - and I replace those with the drugs
tha t you sent up. Erythromycin, I replaced. And the
Xylocaine/1 percent epinephrine, I took one vial for a
sample and discarded the rest. Category II, for do not use,
Day155 Page
269

inadequate data. The first three, I replaced. Heparin,

I discarded, with samples. I took samples of most
all these. Mylanta was replaced. Pentobarbital, I
took one sample and left four of them there, in case
they were good. The Pilocarpine was replaced. The
Prednisolone was replaced. The Scopolam_ue was dis-
carded. You didn't send a replacement for that. The
scope/Dex tablets were discarded. Tetracyline was
replaced. Valium injectable was sampled and four vials
were left. Valium tablets and prednisone tablets
were discarded.

01 52 37 SPT Okay. On page xiii you have category III-A and III-B
drugs. And I discarded among those the Sulfamylon
because it was replaced and the tube looked a little
cr_fm4v, wrinkled. For all the rest of those drugs,
let me say this. This is the action that I took. All
drugs for which a replacement was in either the com-
mand module medical accessories kit or the additional
kit were discarded/returned as samples. And only the
fresh drugs will be used on board. Where you sent more
than one vial or bottle of a drug, the excess was
canned in the can from which our drugs were taken and
that can was put back in the place where the SL-2 drug
can normally goes. And that'll be there for the SL-3
and SL-4 crews; the antibiotics, for example, that you
sent two or more vials of up. Okay. Any drugs that you
did not send replacements for, and there were quite
a number in that area, what - I - I simply left in
place in their activated place, and we'll use, if
necessary. The only drug which evidenced any spoilage
at all was a tube of Neosporin ointment. The tube had
broken open. That was - the mess was cleaned up
and the tube was discarded and we are short of Neo-
sporin on the flight. But we'll get by. Amd as for
the long list on pages x and xi, let me say that I
sampled virtually every drug that I replaced or dis-
carded and that I don't think I will have time during
deactivation to go back, doublecheck, and sample all
of that. I'll do what I can. If I get some spare
time, I will be able to go back in there, and if we
have room in the command module, grab some more hand-
fuls out of our unused drawers and bring them back.
That's it.

02 12 39 SPT Friendly neighborhood tape recorder, you are about

to receive the thrill of your life. Over the next 13
minutes, the SPT will be reporting radiation readings,
RAD i, RAD 2, RAD 3, and RAD 4. Three readings each.
RAD i is in the PLT's bedroom. And the first mark
will be coming up shortly.

02 14 39 SPT MARK. Reading number i is 0.00, 20 count.

02 15 39 SPT MARK. Reading number 2, still 0.0.

02 27 55 SPT Okay, B channel, I was doing RAD i through RAD 4, and

the medical conference call interrupted my comm loop.
I proceeded with tests and will now voice-record the
results. At 02:14, I co_enced readings every minute.
The first three readings were in the center sleep com-
partment and were 0, 0, and 0. The second three read-
ings, these being now at 17, 18, and 19 past the hour,
were in the wardroom and they were 0, 0 - -

02 28 30 PLT Whoo-hoo! Yaaah! Ha, ha_

02 28 33 SPT - - and 0.01, on the 0.l-rad scale, which turns out to

be 0.001 rad, okay? Then I went to the minus-Z SAL
and at 20, 21, and 22, my readings were 0.05, O.1,
and 0.25, all on the 0.1 scale. Now my last three
readings were to be taken in the vicinity of the
radiation experiment down here in the experiment com-
partment, and I went down there and, at 23, 24, and
25 past the hour, I got 0.5, 0.8, and pesked at 1.O
and I went to the 1-rad scale and followed it right
there at the trash airlock location. And it peaked
out at about 26, 27, at about 0.11 on the 1-rad-per-hour
scale and, by 29, it began to subside, and as I talk
to you now, it is 30-1/2 and it's back now to 0.2 on

13 49 20 PLT Hello, B channel, for the EREP alignment check at

13:49. And the S192 power was turned on 35 minutes
ago at 13:14. At 13:49, the following readings were
noted: Bravo 3 is reading 83; Charlie 3, reading 88;
Delta 3, reading 85; Charlie 5 is reading 40; Delta 5
is reading 13; Delta 6 is reading 40.

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

I Just checked film set Lima. (Music) They all look
good. Surprisingly, the two ... cassettes which I Just
loaded about a week ago, had more sets from where
they csane over the rollers than the other four which
I had advanced manually. However, in all six maga-
zines, the film does take up properly. It winds
nice and tightly on the takeup spool cassette - or
Page272 Day155

the takeup cassette spool. So I think it's no prob-

lem, but I don't understand, as I say, why the new
ones have more sets for being the same position for
the same length of time than the old ones do. Now,
on this visible alignment on S192, this is a most
frustrating thing. It does not behave in flight like
it did on the ground. I had a good alignment at one
time, and in an attempt to peak it up, I've lost
the stinking thing and I have been working for 45
minutes trying to get it back. I've gone over the
procedure. I - There's no sense reading you values
down as to what happens when you focus it. I've done
it three times and each time the readings get worse.
I'm Just going to let it sit for a while and come
back to it, but I think once I get a fairly decent
setting, weprobably ought to let it go at that.
End of message.

14 49 37 PLT Also, tape recorder, I've Just noticed that if I -

you cannot - also, when you're trying to focus or
align the visible channel, you cannot help but load
up that whole optical train. And it results in
reflections which show up on the meter. I Just
looked back and checked the film alignment, and it
was down to 20-something percent. Now in focusing
it and readjusting it, it affected my existing visible
reading. (Cough) I can't stress too much, as I said
before, how frustrating this is, and we'll try to
average them out. I guess the thing to do is tweak
it a little bit, come back later, check them both,
tweak them both, and come back, and it's going to be
an iterative process. We'll keep working on it.

things to put on the tape. One is the big boo-boo.
CDR going through checklist and not getting the S190
window open so you can now explain the black picture.
However, this checklist is so stocked up that we're
going down right now and rewrite a cue card, because
we almost missed about three things - just couldn't
find them in the checklist. I left the 192 door
open. Now there's the 190 door open. The other's
the tape recorder power, on. So we're going to go
write a new cue card checklistright now to maybe
take care of that stuff, Meanwhile, Bravo 7 dropped
down to 64 at the end of the run, ..., so it looks
like we get - if we want to get those thermal densi-
ties done right, we'll have to leave it run a lot
longer. End of EREP message.

TIME SKIP

18 i0 26 PLT Okay, tape recorder, a few comments about - about

today's EREP pass. First thing being the failt_re to
open the S190 window cover. We think that probably
the best way to avoid that is, at the beginning of the
pass, you have preoperate configuration and in the
appropriate places to add such items as 192 door,
190 door, 191 door, and a tape recorder. I also rec-
ommend that the follow-on crew bring as cue cards,
page 1-1 out of the EREP Checklist, which is the
surmmary timeline and use those. I think once you get
familiar enough with checklist, that you can just use
that summary timeline, and that's a whole lot better
and easier to follow that the checklist itself. I
got some co-_ents on these nadir swaths today. At
Page
274 Day155

17:08:35, during that nadir swath, we passed over a -

The head of a building cumulonimbus was coming up
through some - what appeared to be some cirrostratus -
some stratiform clouds anyway, and - we passed right
over it. Shortly after that, the ground track from
then on was essentially fair weather cumuliform. At
09:56, that's 17:09:56, the swath crossed a lake.
At 13:57, Just as - prior to the time for the last
nadir swath, the swath passed right down the side,
alongside of a cumulonimbus. That's at 07:13:57. At
07:15:37 was over open water. At 17:15:50, for
6 seconds, then the swath crossed over land. That's
about all that's significant on that pass. And - also,
tape recorder was depleted postpass, and that's the
end of the message.

19 00 36 SPT Okay, B channel; this is the SPT, at 19:00 with com-

ments on the ATM pass, JOP 1A. PIs, I'm sorry, I
correctly interpreted your initial pointing instruc-
tions. Switched to H-alpha l, full zoom in, and by
the time I got to a good-looking super granule - or
network cell, I was back down near the active region.
And I saw a little light area there at the upper edge
of my picture, and I said, "Well, maybe that's the
bright spot occurring up here; maybe we're going to
get some activity." Didn't look at the big picture.
So I guess what you got on the first building block 3
was enhanced network. And it's interesting, in that
it was very easy to peak up detector 1. The grating
was in REFERENCE in that - in that region. It peaked
up rather sharply for about - space reading of about
50_o about 75, up'to 2 to 300. And it was Just about
2 arc seconds outside the H-alpha boundary of the
network cell.

19 02 24 SPT Okay, whereas, PIs, in the quiet region where I'm

currently pointed - the background is lower or - no,
the grating was done in REFERENCE. It was at 192,
but with detector 1 or detector 3 there was very
sluggish peaking.

20 00 09 SPT B channel, SPT at (cough) 20:00 with some JOP IA

comments. I started the second rev of JOP IA, and
instead of doing the JOP 6 initially, I opted it to
do the JOP IA steps 3 and 4 initially, because I was
already pointed there and because I felt that the
quiet network would be very difficult to relocate if
I moved away from it. I'll get the J0P 6 in. It
appears to be easier to relocate the network cell if
you observe it and sketch it and locate it with about
a half-zoomed-out position on H-alpha i, rather than
full zoomed in. Full zoomed in tends to obscure the
outline of the network cells in favor of detail,
bushy clumps, and so forth, which becomes so complex,
that it all looks the same. So I'd recommend, in the
trainer, that you guys tryto locate yourselves and
mark them zoomed out about halfway. End of message.

SPT And in addition to seeing the old prominence 62 Just

disappearing behind the west limb, I have on the
east limb, with the experiment roll of minus 8500,
a - beautiful looking prominence, which we call a bi-
furcating, almost loop, prominence. It's not really a
loop prominence. But it's a bifurcating tree-trunk
prominence (laughter), which we report in hopes that
it may portend further activities coming up around the
east limb. End of message. Incidentally, the rest of
the Sun was void and bare of prominii [sic].

22 26 26 PLT i, 2, 3, 4. Hi, therel

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

crew. We are gathered together around our unround
table for a roundtable discussion on M487-2 Alfa to
the crew debriefing. The first question is, What
particular aspect of the orbital assembly seems well
designed and arranged for living and working in
zero g? What aspects are deficient and how? For
the answer to that, I'll turn you over to Dr. Kerwin.

SPT Hello. In 25 words or less, the sleeping bags are

good.

CDR That's not what he wants. I guess he wants the whole

thing - ...

SPT Yes, all right. Well, what do you think of the MDA?

CDR ... MDA, and this mainly concerns ... the electrical
vehicle with equipment mounted around the circumference
of a circle. And as a center retreat that's light
enough ... bringing yourself in slowly ... equipment.
Now, you have put these things with the EREP TV
console ... equipment. And I doubt that they realized
when they located it that it did - that it was ...
that it could be made into ... backwards and get to
the checklist locker. You can place much of the
equipment that comes on and off the EREP cameras that
you need to work on remaining affixed to it in some
manner, notnecessarily the same orientation; you have
to move around on it. But it turns out to be an excel-
lent thing. As far as the other things and all that,
I'll let the other guys make comments on it. There's
Day155 Page277

no doubt about it; I think that we are happy that we

brought the chair along. Guess what. It does not do
the job fully and the whole ATM could be better de-
signed for operation ... right now.

22 29 17 SPT No, I don't know what it is, but the ATM was designed
to be worked in a one-g enviroment. It really was.
And that's the way we trained on it. But up here - I
think Pete's right. In that you don't really want to
sit at it - sit in it in front of a chair [sic]. Nei-
ther do you want to stand on that foot restraint plat-
form we have. I'm not sure what you want. I guess
maybe we're saying that this whole panel layout is
eye enhanced. Distances of the various switches and
displays on that panel were not optimized for a crew-
man in zero-g. As a matter of fact, they weren't
really optimized for a crewman in one g. But they're
doing the Job. My comments on the MDA as a whole are
that it's a - it's an - it's an efficient way to ar-
range equipment, but the size of the MDA, which is
very good for hanging onto things, is not too good for
traffic. If two people are working there, sometimes
the third guy c_u't get by.

22 30 26 PLT The only thing I have to say is the MDA is not as

large in zero g as I thought it would be. YOU can
really hang onto things and work diametrically, eas-
ier than I thought we'd be able to.

22 30 38 CDR ... stuff is very blocky. And various pieces of equip-

ment that you can hang your feet under - a wire bundle
or equipment straps that held - like the ... we used -
the straps, you know, that holds the ... to put our
foot under to operate the CDS [?] console. Now that
was one that I had felt ... the pads ... used ... were
great for the operator. It may be more - comfortable
operating - it might be attached onto the CDS [?]
panel ... CDS panel as when you ... gravity ...

22 31 22 PLT Anything else on the MDA? Press on to the airlock.

We really haven't done anything in the airlock yet.
Yes. Yes. Okay. So now we're into the dome area.
Okay. I suppose I've probably done as much up in the
dome there - well, Joe, you hung the portable fan. I
cleaned the ... screens twice. Pete and I hung the
condensate tank and I must say that those leg re-
straints that are bolted onto the lockers work quite
well for maneuvering that. Yes, me, too. That was
page
278 Day155

really a piece of cake. We thought it was going to

be a great big blimit to handle up there and maneuver
into place, and it really went well. Even though it
was 130 degrees in there at the time. I tell you, my
primary restraint when I've been workingat the inlet
screens has been to Just kind of wrap my - not wrap
them around but clamp - a duct - a soft fabric part
of a duct betweemmy legs and stabilize myself that
way. "Otherwise, there are plenty of handholds. I got
no problem on the dome. Joe, you got anything about
that fan?

SPT No, it was no problem. It's easier to work by the

dome - in the dome locker region than it is up where
the fan is because, you're right, what you need is
not handholds up there. Handholds are strictly for
translation. You don't need them for translation.
You push off and get there. You need them to grab onto.
What you need for working up there are legholds, like
the soft part of the duct - like the knee knockers on
the f_]m lockers or like the water ring where you can
stick a foot in. Something to restrain your body so
you can work with your hands. All the handrails ...
Yes. The other thing about - those are the ... good
side ... The one thing ... you can move around, bend
your body back and forth, do your exercising, get a
little sensation of largeness. The other thing, it
would be an ideal kind of enclosure around which to
situate experiments and things to operate, with plenty
of passage room in the middle.

22 33 41 CDR Yes I think - I think the things that's turned out

about - the whole upper experiments area is the fact
that it is so easy to operate. I think we were all
worried before we started out on the flight that it
was going to be so big that we were going to get, you
know, all this stuff that we have in there ... the
best way to have it .... a airlock, to go to a dome
• locker ... Just take aim at wherever it is you want
to go and take off. You can get pretty close. Every
day longer that we're up here the better we get at that
sort of thing. I know that over the - the line to the
SAL - the SAL power cables and the SAL instrumenta-
tion cables are stowed in the dome locker, and it's
nothing to Just give yourself a little shove with your
feet and you are right straight up in front of it ...
in there and work in those lockers - the lockers that
have the heavy gear in them .... down in them ...
_ Day155 Page
279

equipment ... are well placed ... for ... people that
I had no trouble working on any of the EREP experi-
ments.

22 35 02 SPT Another thing about that water-ring foot restraint,

or whatever we call it, is that I had a couple of tasks
to do like stringing the water tank hoses, and my favor-
ite one - the portable water tank and a couple of
other things, and again I - you can't hook your feet
in them when you're working on it. And I Just laid
along horizontal or parallel to it and again clasped
it with m_ legs, because you really don't want to
sacrifice that hand for stability. You want to be
able to maintain your stability with your feet. I
have a feeling we better - we better move on.

22 35 53 CDR Yes, ... let's talk about those things. The triangle
wedge is a great way to lock yourself in except it
looks like you could lock yourself almost anywhere and
that's not really true at all .... looking for places
to lock in that we're working at especially ...
equipment-like ... to get the heaters ... down here,
something like that .... all I can see Just to find a
f place to lock it - the right side of the bicycle -
they ... ergometer to shower .... to try it. Yes.
And, well, I ... to try it.

SPT ... if you wear the button instead of the triangles

then there are more places to - You're not quite as
constrained as ...

22 36 46 PLT I think the high-angle grid invention is a good

idea - -

CDR Oh, yes. Yes.

PLT - - because you need something to stick your feet in.

And this - the whole experiment compartment is kind of
one-g oriented, and a lot of people have always said,
"Aw, you don't need that. You'd rather - you know,
you'll be hanging from the ceiling. You'll be hanging
from the sides. We can make the nomenclature upside
down." We don't do that. We - at least - operate in
here pretty much in the same body position as I did
in training. How you get from one place to another
is grossly different. You push off and float. But
once you get there, you want to be stabilized by the
legs or the thighs and the feet someplace where you
Page
280 Day155

can do the Job. Yes, Pete mentioned there's one corner

of the experiment there. It is so crowded and clut-
tered that I can hardly believe it. The one where the
shower is. Between the centrifuge, the shower - and,
that's a busy place. Fortunately, you don't have to
step over the shower to get to the tool kit and that
tool kit is the best idea that - anybody's had. We've
been into that many times since activation for a lot of
different reasons. One other comment, when you trans-
late to a surface, it's good to have something like
the blue handrails on the surface to grab hold of and
torque your body or stop a pitch rate of whatever
you're having. If it's a flat surface, you tend to do
some scrambling around. In the wardroom, I noticed
that the edges of the locker stanchion are recessed
so that you-can grab them with your fingers. That's
a good idea on somebody's part. So much for that
question. How about - you want to say anything about
the compartment - the head - What are we talking about?
Yes. We got carried away on that. Okay. Yes.

SC ...

PLT Which restraint device offered the most assistance in

performing tasks; which the least? If you want to
pick out one device, in my particular case, I would
have to say the triangle shoes. I really think they
are the most useful, versatile restraint device we
have around. Let me think about it while we pass it
on to Joe.

SPT I agree with that. I wish we had two pairs of triangles

so I could put the triangle triangles on one and the
button triangles on the other and then I'd wear the
button triangles for moving around all day _and the
triangle triangles to ride the bike. The least useful
device maybe has been those cloth strap foot restraints
that are in the wardroom and also in the head. You
need something like that at that location, but the
cloth straps don't stay put. They are too small to
get in with your shoes. They are too hard to adjust
with - with triangle shoes, that is, and they're
generally cranky and poor design and we don't use
them much.

CDR ... foot restraints. It may be - -

SC ...
Day155 Page
281

CDR The other thing is ... the head ... said earlier ...

PLT ... elastic ... I think you already said it ....

CER ... Now, I ... all the way back ...

PLT Yes. Yes. Here's nonassisted verbal con_nunications;

that is, hollering. How effective has it been?

SC Not very effective.

22 41 31 SPT Yes, right. Not very effective. At 5 psi, I guess, the

sound doesn't - is not as strong or doesn't carry as far
or something. Within the MDA you can - we always do -
you're almost always hollering at somebody within
the workshop, I think. You certainly don't shout - -

SC ...

SPT I know. it doesn't - that's right. We're all hoarse

all the time. You certainly don't try to shout from
the workshop to the MDA. That just flat doesn't work.
The intercom boxes for IVA comm have been all right;
for voice recording, they've been unsatisfactory;
for ground comm, they've been terrible because of the
feedback. We always had it in one g, 15 psi. In the
chamber out at St. Louis in the MDA, we didn't have
much feedback and things looked pretty rosy then.
But here you're continually going around and Houston
calls and you answer, and it squeals and you've got to
go down and turn down another volume.

22 42 45 CDR Part of that problem is very specific. If you don't -

we use the box in the wardroom mainly, and if you turn
on the box in the experiment compartment here, you've
got to run over ... by the M131 chair it seems that's
the wardroom one. By the same token, they've changed
the wardroom one ... to cure the SAL airlock boxes,
and so we have to continually leave those off; and if
you're working in SAL and another guy's in the wardroom
and you're both trying to talk to Houston, then you're
really in trouble.

22 43 23 SPT How satisfactory are the food management and dining

accommodations? How well does the food adhere to the
utensils when eating? Would a closer tray-to-mouth
proximity have improved eating ease? ... first ...
Page
282 Day155

PLT I think that the constraints at the food table could

be improved. Particularly the foot part of it.

22 43 45 CDR I always - you know what I always ...

PLT I think the basic idea of going to the family style

is good. There are small inconveniences in the ward-
room where people have to climb all over each other
to get at the trash box or the stowage locker for
dirty cans, for the wetwipes, for the meal trays.
But that kind of thing is not the basic feasibility
of the design. It's Just a little efficiency ex-
pertism [?] in the layout.

PLT Yes, my wife ...

SPT Yes. And the wardroom window is worth it's weight

in the spacecraft. It's terrific.

CDR The one thing that we asked most, though - and this
is a chronic problem - ... but to this day nobody
has successfully got the gas, whatever gas it is, out
of the water. We have problems rehydrating our food
right now, especially with the hot water. When we
rehydrate the bags, fill them a11 the way up - we
opened the seal inside on the food fold bag so that
the food's already up ... you go to cut it, and that
makes that too difficult to handle. It makes getting
the food difficult to handle, and it blows the bag up.
Now - -

22 h5 20 SPT Yes, I think what's partially ... the matter, you try
and push a button and left the dehydrated food more and
more like the frozen food. It's a better variety of
food product [?].

22 45 33 CDR Yes .... But even so, it would be nice to Jab the
gas out of the water first. If you drink - -

SPT Oh, it would be great for that. Although a lot of

the - to me a lot of the trouble involved is making
it real dehydrated.

CDR Yes. I agree.

22 45 52 PLT Following that layout I think - I think it's a bad

idea to have the head right next to the sleeping
compartment, expecially with the layout we have, with
Day155 Page283

the urine separators and the blower in the common

bulkhead between the two. If somebody gets up at
night and has to go to the bathroom, and you turn on
the separator and the blower, and it's - you tend to
wake up people that are sleeping.

SPT What safety problems have arisen that are directly

related to habitability?

PLT None.

CREW ...

SPT (Laughter) What unanticipated problems have occurred

in performing various activation, housekeeping, or
experiment activities to date? Are there any common
difficulties that can be traced to inadequacies of
design, onboard provisions, or preflight preparations?

CDR I think the answer to that question is a very general

answer. I think we were pleasantly surprised to
see ... The place that really ... is having your hands
full of . .. obvious, no problems ... But it gets very
hard to make yourself ...

SPT Very good point. I think that the next generation

should come up with some clever ... pieces of gear
with - put away places. Whether they be ... little
boxes with ... openings or quadruple rubber clamps
like we have where you just push them on with ...

PLT They're not in the - I don't need the dang things -

They're - We're - -

CDR Not another clamp! I got them.

PLT We've got snaps of (laughter) Velero. We've got snaps

of Velcro all over the vehicle, and we don't have
enough.

22 48 15 SPT How effective are the various tools used thus far; in
particular, what tools are well suited and what
tools are poorly suited for use in zero g?

CDR Well, the - a tool is poorly suited when you have to

put about six or eight pieces together to get the
tool to work. You know, but again, I was pleasantly
surprised to get the tools ... You're going to go
the other way and you got ...

PLT You've got something to hang onto.

CDR You've got something to hang onto ...

SPT What - what significant improvisation (Procedural,

equipment arrangement or modifications, et cetera)
have you accomplished as a result of adapting to
living and working in zero g?

CDR ...

SPT Yes, the major one that came up today is doing away
with all - We wound up doing away with all the re-
straints for the bicycle ergometer.

22 49 26 PLT We had that thing in 16 different arrangements and

configurations, non of which worked very well, and
we finally wound up - Joe tried it yesterday and the
day before and I got my shot at it today. And the
best way of all is unrestrained, except for your feet,
of course. You've got to keep your feet through the
pedal. Other than that ...

SC ...

PLT Yes, your feet are hooked into the pedal with the
triangle shoes. You're holding onto the handlebars
with your hands, and that's it .... you may or may
not mse ...

SPT Okay. That last question is, How satisfactory have

been lighting, noise, temperature, humidity, and
airflow? Temperature, we're going to have to kind
of pass on, because we've had some problem, although
the perfect temperature ...

22 50 20 CDR Yes, we're running right around 74 or 75 degrees in

the OWS. I still think it's - it's because of our
thermal problem, we're running cold in the MDA. We're
running about 60 - 60 to 59 degrees, which is definitely
colder.

SPT Humidity and airflow. I don't have any ... The

airflow's higher than I thought it would be.

PLT The airflow is much more effective than I thought it

would be. You lose something, and in about 20 minutes
... OWS dome. But you usually find it there. Depend-
Day155 Page
285

ing on where it may end up there a couple of days

later. But the airflow in the workshop is much, much
more effective.

SPT That's a good point. I want to get this in. We're

always losing stuff; I'm probably the worst. And
I think it suits your vehicle design to make use of
this airflow - for proper closeout in areas to make
sure that nothing ... stays put.

22 51 18 CDR Yes, for instance, the Swiss army knife ... down here.
It _azingly, as big a piece of gear as that is, you
can make a triangle with it and it doesn't hang up.
That's the beauty of these .... it won't hang up,
and it winds up back on the dome air screen.

SPT That's right .... We haven't tried that yet.

SC ...

SPT ... The lighting bugs me a little bit. Of course

we're beginning to ... a lot of it down. I think the
light level is too low, and for my - -

CDR ...

SPT ....the color temperature or quality of the light

is too harsh ....

CDR Yes. Like you say, when all light's are out - -

SPT The brighter light is great for translating back and

forth ... I would like to have more light ...

22 52 28 CDR Yes, we do work at the wardroom table to write, look

over Flight Plans, and so forth; and it might be
nice if your lighting is - instead of putting -
you know, you're combining a wardroom into that
sort of thing ... That's about the end of it.

ii ii 53 SPT Good morning, friendly tape recorder. Here are the

PRD readings for this morning at ii:i0. In the pri-
vate sleep compartment, 06081; in the wardroom, or
rather the experiment compartment, 44051; at the
minus-Z SAL, 18074.

ii 16 13 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the CDR. CDR - No, this

is the SPT speaking. I haven't taken over the ship
yet. At 11:15 with the M133 log. Dear MI3B PI, first,
I'ii Just read the sleep quality and time codes from
my log to kind of catch you up. And then I'll discuss
the use of the - of the sleep compartment cap last
night. On day 150, I logged 6 hours of good sleep.
That was the first night with the cap; I was tired.
On day 151, I logged 6 hours of fair sleep, woke up
a few times. The cap ... does, I think, tend to make
you wake up a little more often. You can't use the -
the head curtain on the bed the way it's intended to
when you have the cap on, and I like to use that. And
it's a small encumbrance. It's just - it's noticeably
different. This is the reason why I hope that on the
next flight Owen will get two or three nights of - of
normal sleep in between using the cap. On day 152, I
logged 4-1/2 hours' fair sleep. On day 155, I logged
5-1/2 hours of good sleep, and there was no problem
there. But at 06:00 Greenwich, I got up to photograph
a couple of good European passes and went back to bed
at 08:00. So I lost out on some sleep there. Last
night, which we'll call 156, I got 7-1/2 hours of
Page288 Day156

good sleep using the old cap. Now once again, when I
broke out the old cap, the electrodes were just a tad
puffy and Just a tad soft. The appearance wasn't very
abnormal, but it was a little abnormal. When I cut
them open, they were obviously drier than the dome
elec - the dome cap electrodes. When you squeeze
them, the Juice comes up out of the bottom, and it's
obviously thicker. All your good electrolytes are
there, but some of the water has - has evaporated
away. The only thing I did about it besides squeezing
them was to use Just a little dab of good old Yankee
spit on each electrode. I put the cap on and got good
contact lights and immediately went to sleep. I'm
interested to know whether you got results all night
because, first thing in the morning, I turned the
switch to TEST, and I didn't have any lights. I
started pressing in the middle electrodes and boom!
In a minute, the back electrodes came in, and a little
work - rocking each electrode - and the electrodes
came in fine. However, there may have been some
dropouts due to drying during the night. It seems
to me that all the good stuff is in there and that,
at the worst, you could figure out a way of using
either water or normal saline with a syringe, of which
we have plenty in the l_SS kit, to make those caps go.
And I recommend that I bring one cap home and you work
on it and come back with some simple procedure for ...
I don't think it would take Owen more than - hopefully
i0 minutes to do that job. End of message.

quite a bit farther out than it was before. This is -
we're talking about substantial movement in the
area of 1 arc minute in an hour. Farther north the

16 49 51 PLT On this pass, I had two JOP 10's. On the first

one, I pointed the white light coronograph in the
conventional fashion, centering the needles with the
manual pointing controller. But the second pass
through the rev, I have called up the TV display,
centered as well as I could with the TV display, and
then backed off enough to get a READY light plus a
couple more notches on - on the dial to make sure
I pretempt the READY light during the performance
of the block. The readings - on the white light align
indicator are right, 20; and up, i0. And when you

16 56 48 SPT Friendly B channel, to finish up the ATM pass at

16:57. We're looking at the new little bright spot,
which is at about 280.7, I'd say. And noticing that
it has the appearance on H-alpha this morning of
being a new active region. There are two areas of
plage, the trailing one being the brighter and being
quite bright. The small is simple; they are oriented
north/south with a neutral line between them. I don't
see any - I do not see any - I do not see any evidence
of arch filaments. On the - white light XUV SLIT monitor
we dc see one small front spot associated with this
region which I believe warrants being called an active
region at this time. And we've decided to name it
Henry.

16 58 38 SPT And, B channel, at the same time we observed at about

285 - 280 degrees, 1.O, almost on the limb - a small
area of bright stuff, as P. J. calls it, which is too
foreshortened to make out any details. It's quite
small, but it could very well be another new active
region. End of message.

at max forward angle; a site near the Bonneville Salt
Flats was acquired IN-TRACK; 415 could not be found
for clouds - well, could not be found. I think
clouds are a major factor. The same with 420 and
445, which is just a spot in the water. Make that
a clear spot in the clouds and track that. And then,
getting back on with what I was doing and getting back
out, as I mentioned, drive is about 50 seconds late
getting back onto the nadir _wath. And started it
about 0&:10. A couple of words about that VTS. If
you have much resolution, things looks a little - I
don't know - small things are small - hard to find in
it. The small field of view is the biggest problem.
I think, if we ever build anything like this again,
you really want the capability to go to quite a bit
larger field of view.

18 37 03 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is for EREP people and

for Captain Bean's crew, regarding an EREP tape re-

people ought to be alert to it and watch for it

that, when you pull that tape out to clean the heads
and put it back in, it's very, very easy to have it
come off the last bed of compliance rollers a little
bit too high; such as, the top edge, as you look down
in the machine, of the tape gets rolled over a little
bit by that flange on the compliance rollerl So Just
alert the next crew that they ought to be careful
there and watch for it, whenever they put that tape
back through the head. End of message.

21 20 19 CDR Okay. This the CDR at - 21:20, starting on the

mixup between building block 23 and 13. I now have
out 23 and it looks like the only harm that was done
was that I missed or will miss two or three sets of
S054 pictures. For some reason, I read that as 13
rather than 23. Everything else is the same and
should get a good grate on S055.

21 24 19 SPT Hello, tape recorder. M131 OGI run on the SPT is

complete. Chair pressure is 1200 psi.

21 24 50 SPT Okay, tape recorder. This is the SPT, the M131 OGI
subject. And you'll be seeing these in the debriefing,
but the responses were interesting. I got six right
in step l; six right in step _; only two right in
step 8. Whether that was fatigue or what, I don't know.
But, subjectively, it was as though I stopped seeing
the responses and began to see this slow, back-and-
forth oscillatory motion instead, and it pretty well
drowned the responses out. In step 10, I got six
right; and in step 18, I got seven right; and again
in step 18, I could almost sense the rotation, although
I don't think I could sense the direction of it very
accurately through the seat of m_ pants which, inci-
dentally, are not held on the chair very well by the
straps. End of message on OGI. Well, let me give you
one more, Just as a general side note. It fs really
remarkably difficult to keep from going to sleep when
you're doing this stunt, much more so than on the
ground. For some reason, when you power down up here,
all your muscles relax and your heart slows down, and
you find yourself drifting off, if you're not careful.

21 53 22 SPT Tape recorder, this is SPT, the subject of the

MI31 MS test. And I went 150 head movements at
12-1/2 rpm with no symptoms. There was an inter-
ruption due to a FAULT light due to my foot
hitting some structure or other after the
hSth head movement. We came down for the
minimum 30 seconds required to reactivate the
experiment, went right back up again and con-

tinued. I don't think the results are invali-

dated thereby. I simply didn't have any
symptoms even transiently, although I felt
the acceleration and the deceleration and the
head movements Just as much as I would normally.
And I noticed at the end of it, Just when taking
my blindfold off, that I did have nystagmus - it
was very transient. It was as though the visual
neural pathways had been severed. I Just didn't
have any symptoms at all of motion sickness, and
will stand by for your recommendations on a pos-
sibly higher level the next time I run the test.

22 00 01 SPT Okay, tape recorder, this is the MA calibration

check. The time is 22:00, and the CAL N2, 02,
CO 2 bottle PRESSURE is 1623.

22 05 18 SPT Okay, B channel. The MA CAL check: 02 is out

of tolerance and the only ADJUST that's out of
tolerance. ADJUST N 2 is okay. ADJUST CO 2 is

okay. ADJUST 02 is supposed to be 4.267, and

it comes up 4.314. I'm going to change it.

22 06 26 SPT Okay. I changed it to 4.263, and that means

the PERCENT 02 pushed itself 54.06.

22 08 I0 SPT Okay, tape. ADJUST N -ADJUST N 2 down to about

2.265. And ADJUST 02 up to about 4.283. Six per-

cent oxygen come in. PERCENT OXYGEN is 5_.42.
PERCENT CO 2 is 15.03. The CAL N2, H20 bottle
PRESSURE is 1623.

22 3_I19 SPT Okay, tape. The initial reading on the PERCENT

H20 is 23.40, which is out of spec. And the

PERCENT H20 has been adjusted to 21.70.

people and the flight planners. The captain discovered,
upon investigating the hygiene resupply kit tonight,
that all the Alpha Keri and all the other kits in that
locker have blown up. The tops have exuded, and it's
a mess in there. I want you to know that, so that
you can (a) plan on resupply as required and (b) work
into our housekeeping tasks, sometime in the next few
days, to go in there and clean that stuff up. Good
night.

15 27 16 PLT Hello, channel B, for the procedures and the

follow-on flight crew, Captain Bean and his crew.
It is strongly recommended that, when changing the
mol sieve solids trap, that you close the lid under
the whole solids trap while it is still running or
else the dirt flies all over. You must be careful,
however, when you take it off that the handle that
holds the solids trap in place does not get down in
the fan. End of message.

15 59 04 PLT Hello, B channel. This is for the photo people.

On today - today being day 157, the film thread pad
this morning did not have us doing anything with the
transporter in A-3, which has been reported as Jammed.
Just pass that on to them. It seems to me we ought
to do something. End of message.

16 12 25 PLT Hello, tape recorder. It's been about 15 minutes

since the PPCO 2 sensors have been changed out. Here
are the readings. I'll give you some more in about
15 more minutes. The initial reaction to the change-
out was not bad on sieve A. On sieve B, both the P

cartridges on sieve B, the PPCO 2 pegged high, and it
took a few minutes for it to come down. The readings

sieve B, IN is 5.5; OUT is 3.5. End of message.

16 h3 12 PLT Hello, tape recorder, for the ECS people - That's

enviromental control. Ask them that after the EVA
stuff settles down, I'd like to make a checkout of
the mol seive A primary timer. I think we ought to
know whether that thing's working or not. We can do
it simply and easily some morning or any time during
the day. Ask them if they won't think that over,
please. End of message.

17 22 21 CDR Hi, Rusty. We're going to keep working. We'll try

and get everything - the important things - done on
the Flight Plan today, but we may drop some of these
incidentals. I haven't really had a chance to look
at it; but, as you well know, you may be able to do
it in an hour on the ground, but you've thrown a lot
of things together. So we've got a lot of reconfig-
uring to do here. And we're trying to think our way
through it as we go.

_ft leg measures 14-1/4, right leg measures 14-1/8.

19 29 42 PLT Tape recorder, babe, on the M092 run for the SPT,
the left leg band is Alfa Delta; the right leg band
is Bravo Juliett.

19 37 44 PLT Tape recorder, on the M092 on the SPT. All the im-
pedances were high; that is, pegged high. However,
the heart rates checked out good, within two beats
of each other on X, Y, and Z. We're pressing on.

19 46 58 CDR Hello, friendly B channel. Systems housekeeping

l0 Alfa is complete. The SUS pump ran okay, and
the caution and warning system functioned normally
throughout the operation of the SUS pump. That's
all,

19 58 59 PLT Hello, tape recorder. The M092 run on the SPT was
terminated at 6 minutes and 30 seconds left to go in
the run. Heart rate had peaked at about 120. Ap-
proximately a minute before then, the indicated heart
rate was coming on down and, at termination, it was
about 90 - 95 to 98, somewhere in there. The - both
the - indication of both systolic and diastolic blood
pressures had come down. Systolic was indicating
about 60, although I don't believe that; neither
does Dr. Kerwin. The diastolic was apparently less
than 40, which appeared to be the minimum that the
cuff will read. So - so there.

20 06 44 PLT Tape recorder, for the SPT's M171 run. The CAL N2,

02, C02 reading is 1603, 1603.

20 15 43 PLT B channel, on MA - on M171 for the SPT. On the

metabolic analyzer, begin to go above tolerance -
out of the tolerance range on the ADJUST 02 in order

to get the PERCENT 02 we've been reading.

Day157 Page305

20 16 i0 PLT The ADJUST 02 is now reading 4.310. And the

PERCENT 02 is reading 54.44. On the M171, the

CAL N2, H20 PRESSURE is 1501, 1501.

20 17 42 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT, the subject

of the recent M092 run. It is now 20:18. I have
the following comments to make for the PI and the
medical operations folks. Terminated the run early,
based on the parameters that Paul Just read you, and
on a subjective feeling of a little dizziness and a
little cold sweat. What I want to emphasize is that
this is not much of a change, in my opinion, from the
results of the previous M092 runs that I have made,
as I told Dr.. Ross the other night, and I think I
put this on B channel once. In my opinion we've all
been on the narrow edge on M092 ever since the first
run when we were up here. There appears to be a
large step function as a result of being in zero g
and in losing girth in the calves and tissue fluid.
And the only differences I can surmise for today's
run are that I had Just eaten a meal and that I
hadn't had much to drink today. But I don't think
there's been any essential change. The only change
in procedure we made was that I rode with the crotch
adjustment one notch higher, up at 9, than previously.
We've all noticed the fact that in zero g, it tends
to suck you a little further into the can. I don't
think that was significant at all. You would have
thought it would change in the other direction. I
would recommend, with the PI's concurrence, that on
my next run, I run at 30, 40, 40, rather than 30,
40, 50. End of message.

20 20 20 PLT M171 on the SPT. The MS SAMPLE INLET PRESSURE's

reading 5.000.

20 21 21 PLT Okay, tape recorder. The PERCENT 02 is 74.23,

7-4-2-3. PERCENT WATER is 2.97, 2-9-7. PERCENT CO 2

is 1-9-2.

20 43 57 CDR Hello_ friendly B channel, for the ATM people. On

the ATM pass at 20:00:03, JOF 2A, paragraph 6, build-
ing block 7 says, "Roll 82B SLIT for uniform H-alpha
emisslon." I thought I had done that, but in further
pursuing the XUV MON, it looks like I had it rolled
 Page

a little bit too far, because the XUV M0N had - none
of the crosshairs really line up, and you sort of
got to figure out where you are and it took me a
while to do that, and I guess lost the roll .... a
little bit into that active region above the limb
right now. Sorry about that.

21 20 15 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT, at 21:20,

debriefing the M171 run. The run went very well,
subjectively, from a standpoint of restraint and
difficulty, using no restraints at all. Now, when I
do this, I, person_]y, have three different ways to
use my arms. Number 1 is to let my body go up until
my head is touching the wire channel near the speak-
er box on the ceiling, and then I put my arms forward
of that - in the grid and more or less balance and
act as sway braces. They don't take up much load.
The other way is to hold on to the forward adjust-
ment strap, and the third way is to hold on to the
handlebars. I alternate the three ways so as to
take the strain on different muscles; it works
very nicely. Along these lines I would strongly
recommend that the oncoming crews start now to
train on a horizontal bike, where they will get
this kind of load. You have to bicycle on the wall
and have a flat bed adjustable up and down so as to
give the guy the right seat location. And it will
slide in and out freely on wheels or something for
them. They ought to train that way because it will
train the right muscles and give some idea of what
the problem is. You might want - even want to take
some baseline data that way if the guys have time.
Okay. On the run itself, there were a couple of
anomalous-looking things. For one, the 02 consumed,
once again, came out consistently and surprisingly
lower thanthe CO 2 produced. And having seen this
both ways, I'm inclined to think that this is a
calibration drift or an inaccuracy in the machine,
particularly after the trouble we had this morning -
this afternoon in calibrating it.

21 22 29 CDR ... mark it, Just a second.

SPT Next things we do are check out the PCU - the _MU
integrity checks.

CDR Then we go to the LOCK.

SRT That's right and - -

CDR We' re ready to go.

SPT - - as soon as we do the integrity check, we're off

the cue card, so we can leave it right here.

CDR Yes.

SPT I_'s very convenient.

CDR You've got to get S082 in the back and the back hatch
closed - the umbilical stuff.
l_:_e 314 Day 158

SFT Yours. Yes.

CDR Take the day time, and when we're ready up there, then
we'll get out. Then we'll start getting the pole
assembled. If we cool it through the night for a
while, we cool it through the night. If you can get
up there to the thing during the night, we'll get it
during the night.

SPT Okay.

PLT I don't have - You guys just tell me when your

integrity check is complete.

CDR Okay.

PLT You ready for us to press on, huh? Okay.

CDR Wait a moment; just one thing. Let me ask you - How
long until daylight?

PLT We're in daylight now.

CDR Sorry. Okay. That's all I wanted to know.

lh 44 L4 SPT Gosh darn it!

PLT I tell you, it may be 58 degrees outside, but it ain't

that cool in this suit.

CDR Yes.

PLT l've got no cooling. I may plug in that other one,

get -

SPT I don't see why you can't come in with us. There's
plenty of cool in this place.

PLT Because the umbilical won't reach, that's why.

I
SPT Oh.

PLT I just now figured that out.

CDR Locked?

SPT Yes, it's locked. Make sure you're in the detent

during both.

CDR Yes.

SPT Yougotflow? -

CDR Yes.

SPT Squeeze me, baby.

Day155 Page315

CDR Okay.

CDR That looks like it there. Let me see.

SPT Okay.

CDR Let me verify that. Yes, it is.

SPT And I'm in BOTH and I've got flow.

CDR Okay.

SPT Okay. PRESS SELECT to REG 2, and we should get

a tone. No, wait a minute. Let me make sure.
Okay. Don helmet, PRESS SELECT to BOTH, verify
02 FLOW, the REG i LOW FLOW light should be OFF.
And mine is.

CDR Yes.

14 46 23 SPT The LOW VENT FLOW light should be OFF_ and mine is.
And it says lower the visor. We don't have to do
that yet. Okay. PCU checkout. EV-I and 2. Oh,
darn it! (laughter)

PLT Please watch your language. This is being recorded

for posterity.

SPT Oh. I just lost my - oh.

CDR Why don't we lower that down?

SPT All right. Well, it's where it is, and I'm - Okay,
PRESS SELECT to BEG 2.

CDR Okay.

SPT And we should get a tone.

CDR That's _g first problem.

SPT In a BEG i LOW FLOW.

CDR That's in the way.

SPT And I got mine. Punch off the light if you get it.
Page316 Day158

CDR Okay. I got a REG i LOW FLOW.

SPT Okay. Now MODE SELECT to DELTA-P. We're going to

pressurize.

CDR Okay.

SPT And we're going to go to 3.2 to 3.5.

PLT How do you guys read me on the headset?

SPT I read you okay_ Paul.

CDR flowdo you read me?

PLT Loud and clear.

SPT Wow! We really pressurized it in a hurry, too.

SPT Your ears okay?

CDE Yes.

SPT So are mine. My cuff gage is off the peg. Man, it

really snaps right up there. Popped up to 3.5 and
it's back at - mine's at 3.4. How about you?

CDR It's coming in there right now.

CDR I'm in good shape at 3.4.

SPT Okay, let's go to REG i now, and we should get an

increase to about 3.8.

CDR Okay.

SPT If I can get there. There we go.

CDR Boy_ my SUIT PRESS dropped all the way to 3.2,

SPT When you were changing?

CDR Yes.

SPT Well, if you be ... in between REGs, that ... is

still flowing all the time.

14 48 27 SPT Hy pressure is now 3.7.

Day158 Page317

CDR I had a little overshoot - undershoot there, l'm

searching. I steadied out at 3.8.

,!PT That's good; 3.6 to 3-9 is acceptable. Let'_ go to

BOTH. There should be no change. Make sure it's
locked.

CDR l'm in BOTH. It's locked.

14 48 51 '._PT Okay; 3.7 here. Now EMU integrity check.

CDR Yes.

SPT Next sequence terminates 02 flow to the PGA. The

REG LOW FLOW and the LOW VENT FLOW lights will light.
Monitor cuff gage; the maximum acceptable is 0.8
psig. Paul, can you time us for I minute?

PLT Yes. Go shead.

SPT Okay, Pete, it's going to be FLOW, OFF, _nd then, on

my mark, PRESS, OFF, and that starts the i minute.
You ready?

_LT We have -

CDR No. No. Gosh darn.

oP_ What's the matter?

CDR Farewell to perfection.

_LT Oh, you watched this thing, huh?

CDR Well, I had to take it off. I couldn't get to

REG 2.

SPT Oh, for goodness sake.

CDR How much of this - I want to tape this - listening.

14 49 35 HCC Skylab, this is Houston. We've got you for a long

period over the States.

SPT Okay?

CDR Yes.
Page318 Day158

14 49 47 SPT Let's go to - let's go FLOW to OFF now.

CDR Okay.

PLT See if Houston reads you, why don't you?

SPT Let's go PRESS to OFF and start your 1-minute count,

Paul.

PLT See if Houston is reading you.

PLT Houston, are you reading, EV-I and 2?

_CC Yes, sir, we are. We've got you loud _nd clear,
and we see you're in the integrity check.

SPT That's correct.

14 50 I0 CDR All right, mark down at 3.9.

SPT Okay, mark it from there. I didn't go over 3.75.

SPT Go punch that tone off.

PLT Fifteen
seconds
to go. --

SPT Okay, we're holding good. At least I am.

SPT One minute. It's PRESS to BOTH, and then FLOW to

IVA.

14 50 55 PLT MARK. Your minute is up.

SPT Okay. I had no decay. PRESS to BOTH, and FLOW

to IVA.

PLT I got flow.

SPT Okay, Pete?

CDR Yes. Okay.

SPT All right. How was your decay?

CDR At about a half.

SPT About one-half. Okay, we're in spec. All right,

the cuff gage is stable, at 3.6 to 3.9. MODE
SELECT to ABSOLUTE. Let's depressurize. And,
Rusty, this diverter cloth govern is kind of a
pain in the neck during checkout. I have to
partially tear it off to get at the valve.
Day158 Page319

MCC You should be able to move it right through the

... there.

SPT You should, but you can't.

MCC Okay.

CDR The other thing that gets in my way, Rusty, is I

can't get into REG 2 with those pliers on there.

MCC Okay. We'd recommend either a quickie other place,

or just forget them, Pete.

CDR I think l'd like to forget them.

SPT How about i_ here? Let me try them on one spot on

mine.

CDR ... to hang up.

SPT They were originally selected - let me see if it's - -

PLT Rusty, do you read the PLT on the lightweight.

MCC That's affirmative. You're coming through 5 square,

P.J.

PLT Okay.

CREW Okay. How was the -

SPT If I lose them, I lose them; they aren't in the way.

CDR Okay.

CDR Say, P. J.?

PLT Yes.

14 52 42 CDR After you get the umbilical stowed, you're going to

have to get S082B or A, and bring it back there on
that ... strap and Just tether it in the aft lock,
okay? You'll have to crawl over it.
Page320 Day158

SPT I - I'ii get up into the MDA while you do that.

And, Paul, we're ready to go on you checklist.
Our cue card is all done.

PLT Okay, standby.

CDR *** go.

PLT Okay, I'm going to =Ake s_ne panel checks up here.

I'll be with you in a minute.

SPT Okay.

PLT How did that get off there?

SPT I don't khow.

SPT Okay, Pete. What's your umbilical number?

CDR Thirteen.

14 55 02 SPT All right, 1'3_Igo out. l'm moving in the

airlock now.

CDR Is mine the one you stow first?

SPT Oh, yes.

CDR Okay.

SPT Because you go up first. In fact, you might move up

while he stows.

CDR Yes.

CDE DELTA-P you got on a condensate tank now.

MCC Okay. We're showing around 0.87 on the DELTA-P,

and we figure you're GO either way. We think
that it will probably take a little moisture out,
but it may not be too efficient; and we'll get with
it after the EVA.

SPT Okay.
 Day158 Page321

CDR I got to do a 180. Okay, that's not right. Do

180 one more time. There you go. Very good.
Okay. Start working, Joe.

i_ 56 43 SPT Okay.

PLT Okay, you coming up, Joe?

SPT Yes, I'm waiting for your GO - to come in and

close the hatch.

PLT Okay, move to the hatch.

SPT Here I am.

PLT Pete, you manage his LSU as he comes in, and stow
it in the aft lock.

CDR Okay.

SPT In the aft lock, Pete, not behind you. Keep

it in here.
/-

PLT I'm supposed to do that. You want to just

stay where you were?

SPT It's okay. We've already got it handled, Paul.

SPT Well, let me see which way I can roll here.

CDR Let me get another handle on your umbilical.

SPT Okay.

CDR All right, we're on sync umbilical.

SPT Okay. That's clean.

CDR The other thing is that we've got to make sure

that aft lock door is ... down. I'm going to
turn out the light.

SPT Yes. All right, let me close the hatch first.

Page322 Day158

PLT Release - release the hatch as you come in, Joe.

SPT I did.

PLT Okay. Make sure that the pressure equalization

valve cap is stowed. No, that's the aft hatch.
Disregard, disregard.

PLT l've verified the hatch handle is open.

14 58 41 SPT The hatch handle is open.

PLT Okay, you close it and go hatch handle to

equalize pressure.

SPT Okay.

PLT You there?

SPT Yes.

PLT Release handle to UNLOCK.

SPT UNLOCK.

PLT Hatch handle to CLOSE.

SPT CLOSED.

PLT -And verify the release handle is in LOCK.

SPT It didn't, but I put it to LOCK.

PLT It didn't go by itself?

SPT No.

PLT Okay, but it's in LOCK now?

SPT It's in LOCK now.

PLT Okay.

SPT And the hatch is ... down, okay?

Day158 Page323

PLT Okay, On 390, turn the OWS ENTRY lights OFF.

SPT In work.

PLT You got a lot of umbilical down around your feet

here,

SPT All right, we'll work that right now.

PLT Okay.

PLT You can just move on in feet first if you want.

SPT I will.

PLT That's good.

CDR Let me get this hatch right here. Right here.

SPT Super. Okay, all n_r umbilical is in the aft lock

now, I think. What are you doing, Pete?

CDR Well, this hatch isn't - The aft airlock hatch

came loose, so I'm Just making sure the straps - I
got it strapped down. We don't need that
floating around. Okay?

PLT Okay. Now, Joe, you got a piece of umbilical

under your right arm.

SPT Under my right arm.

CDR It comes out of this here and goes under your

right arm.

SPT No, that's Pete's.

PLT Never mind; sorry.

CDR What did I do, another 360 again? Need 180, Paul?
That what I need to do?

PLT Yes, you're in good shape now. That's exactly

right, Pete.

15 00 17 CDR Now. One thing that's got to go back there is

82B - A. Getting screwed up. (Laughter)
Page
324 Day158

SPT Okay, that's fine .... fine - but it is fine. All

right, Pete, can you sneak by us here with 82A? If
you can -

CDR Let me try this right here. That's about as close

to the floor as I can get.

SPT Yes, that's plenty. I'm half behind you and he's got
a good hand for the hatch - open.

CDR Okay.

CDR Houston, you read?

PLT Okay, l'm going to tie it down back there with one
long strap,_ okay?

SPT Yes, sure.

CC Go ahead.

CDR Tie it fairly close to the thing now. Don't want to

move it around too much. Okay, Houston; how many
minutes until sunset?

MCC Okay, Pete, we're about 35-1/2 minutes until sunset.

We see some power - rather high power usage down in
the OWS. Can you verify that you turned all the
lights off down there?

SPT - Yes, all the switches were off on panel 617 or what-
ever it is. And the ENTRY li@_hts are off. Actually,
I can't verify that visually right now, Rusty.

MCC Okay, and can you verify having turned off the TCS
duct fans?

SPT No. Paul says he did not turn off the TCS duct fans.
You want them off?

CDR Yes, you're going to - -

MCC Stand by Just 1.

CDR You got to get down there and get them, That's
all right; wetve got time,
Day158 Page325

SPT I'ii hang on to that, Paul. I got it.

MCC Disregard that. Do not go back down in the OWS.

We're GO the way we are.

SPT Paul's standing by to do so, if you want him to.

CDR We've got time, Houston.

MCC Okay, if Paul can get past you there, and get the
aft hatch open and get down and shut off the fans
and verify the lights.

15 03 08 SPT Verify the lights. Okay, he's on his way.

MCC Okay, fine.

CDR Got the pressure in here now?

SPT No.

MCC Okay, Paul, if you read down there -

SPT Paul doesn't read you yet. He's waiting for

pressure equaliz@ across that hatch,

MCC Okay, fine. Perhaps you can relay to him when he

gets down there that we want the panel 614 circuit
breaker TCS duct 2 and B fans, eight of them, OPEN,

PLT Wait, I've got all of them. I Just want to read

them one at a time.

15 04 00 SPT Paul says that the pressure is higher in the

workshop side of the hatch. That's kind of screwy,
Rusty; why is that?

MCC Stand by ... - -

SPT Or is there a discrepancy in our gages?

MCC Joe, does Paul have an EVA Checklist in his hand?

SPT No.

MCC Okay. When he gets down there, I'm prepared to

leave the particular steps that we think we're -
we're omitting here. So, will you be able to
hear me on SIA down there?
Page326 Day158

SPT I assume so.

CDR Still equalizing?

SPT He says he still hears the pressure equalizing

through the valve.

CDR Still equalizing? Still equalizing?

MCC Okay, we're reading 0.2 of a psi DELTA-P with the

lock slightly higher. He's probably hearing it
go the other way.

CDR The lock is higher.

SPT He could go this way.

CDR He says the lock is higher.

SPT So we can find out in a hurry when he opens the

hatch, which he is about to do.

SPT (Laughter) We got a little rapid DELTA-P there. (Tone)

MCC Okay, I understand he got the hatch open.

SPT Yes, the hatch is open. He's going to go shut

off the warning tone.

MCC Did he run a Navy catapult down into the

experiment compartment?

15 05 34 SPT He is still in the airlock, Rusty.

SPT No, the hatch did not blow open. You'll have
to ask him which way the DELTA-P was. I couldn't
tell by looking.

MCC Okay. We're Just worried about a slingshot there.

SPT Yes.

CDR It just popped about one-half an inch.

MCC Okay, let me know when he gets down there, and

I'll read these steps to him.
Day158 Page327

PLT I can't hear up there. What does he want me to do,

for gosh sake?

PLT Rusty, l'm not going to hear you down there. What
do you want me to do?

MCC Okay, here you go, Paul. On 614 circuit breaker

TCS DUCT 2 and 3 FANS, eight of them, OPEN.

PLT Okay.

MCC And also, the cb HSS BUS i WARDROOM WATER

HEATER, 0PEN.

PLT Okay.

MCC And then on 613 cb LIGHTING, 42 of them, OPEN.

PLT Holy mackerel! All right. Apparently that

dropped down the crack on the checklist. You
better research that.

MCC Okay.

15 06 17 CDR Yes, I remember them talking about it last night

on what they were going to power down, but -

SPT It never came up on paper.

SPT I didn't read that part in the paper.

CDR Not that it wasn't there.

PLT ...

SPT Paul says you were right, it was slightly higher

in the airlock. The pressure, that is.

MCC Okay.

15 07 19 MCC Okay, for your information, we still have 30

minutes until sunset, so there's no sweat.

CDR Okay, we're - we're taking our time. We've got

all day.

_CC How does the cooling feel, by the way?

Page328 Day158

CDR Fine. Two of us on - -

SPT Once we were smart enough to get on SUS 2,

it's fine.

CDR What do you think happened to i? Did it

freeze up?

MCC We're not really sure. We think it probably needs

a little bit of heat in the loop before we turn
it on, but we've got a little procedure here for
P. J. in case he wants some cooling.

SPT He may want some cooling. It's pretty warm with

that suit on.

15 07 52 MCC Right, and we've got a procedure for him, and

we'll read that to him, in fact - let us know -
probably we'll do it over Ascension. Everything
should be pretty well organized by that time.
We're i minute until LOS at this point, and we're
going to pick up Ascension at 17.

CDR Okay. He's turning everYthing out down there

right now; I can see him down there.

MCC Okay, fine.

15 08 lh PLT Okay, I got DUCT 2, DUCT 3, the WARDROOM WATER

HEATER, and I didn't count them, but I got all
the LIGHT circuit breakers I could see.

MCC Okay, you can't ask for more than that. Thanks
a lot.

SPT Of course, now that they're all open, he can't see.

CDR No, no; the _4ERGENCY light is still ON. Get that
up here.

MCC Affirmative.

SPT Up here and down there, Pete. It looks like over

to me.

CDR That right? It looks to me like I'm looking down.

That's because P. J. is looking - -
 Day158 Page329

SPT With a little imagination, it suddenly becomes up.

CDR Besides that, he's climbing. That's ascending.

MCC I believe the people in Pensacola are very

interested in that, Pete.

CDR Well, up and down is strictly a matter of how you

want to do it. Every night the world goes by so
that you lay on the wardroom ceiling to see the
world is right side up, and when you come back in
from looking at the world right side up - -

SPT You got a wardroom table growing out of the ceiling.

CDR - - you got a wardroom table growing out of the

ceiling, and it takes about 5 seconds to reverse
up _md down in your mind as you come back in and
turn around to get oriented back in the vehicle.

15 09 46 CDR Okay, the aft hatch is closed, and it is locked.

And we are in the process of ... in SO82A. And as
t soon as that is done, we will be in our hatch closure
forward exposure procedures, and I suspect on our
way out.

PLT It's locked, Houston ...

CDR That's good. Hey, there. I wonder if we ought to

put it - I guess that won't get in our way. I hope
not.

SPT What's that?

CDR 82A.

SPT Oh, I don't think so.

CDR Okay.

15 i0 40 CDR Okay, now we can, Joe. Just whatever you do, take
you_- time, and don't expend a lot of energy, and
remember every time you expend energy, we got to save
some to get back in. So, if you see me obviously
getting in a swivit, you know - Look, here's one
thing that's not hooked up to your tether.
 Page330 Day158

SPT I must have skipped yours. (Laughter)

CDR Houston, you there.

SPT Hello, Houston.

CDR No, they're gone. They'll be back in a minute.

PLT Okay.

PLT You guys ready for me to close this hatch?

15 ll 31 SPT Yes.

CDR Okay, how do the tools look? Wait - -

SPT They look fine.

CDR All right, did you want to take the sack off the
one tool?

SPT The sack off of it?

CDR Yes.

SPT I'll take that off in real time. Well, wait a

minute - wait a minute.

CDR All right.

SPT Yes, I'ii take it off now ... I think we can be

careful enough. I like my little ... It looks
so good. Ooops. Hold it.

CDR What happened?

SPT Well, never mind.

15 12 18 SPT I was going to take this off for the one and
only reason, that I could pass it to P. J., but
he's already closed the hatch. So I'll just stuff
it in there.

CDR No, he hasn' t. He 's right there.

SPT Never mind. It's too late now. No, the hatch.

CDR No, no. The hatch is open, Joe.

Day158 Page331

SPT I just stuffed it behind the other hatch, and he

opened his again. (laughter)

CDR Oh.

SPT So forget it.

CDR All right. Okay. Everybody organized where they're

supposed to be?

SPT Yes, l'm right behind you. My umbilical is out

of the way. How long it will stay that way I don't
know, but it's out of the way.

CDR P.J., get on the checklist - whenever he's ready.

SPT And P. J. is closing the hatch again. Sorry, P. J.

That trivial, nothing ...

CDR ... aft airlock hatch, l'm going to go ahead. Oh,

that valve is already off. Okay, that's ready to go.

SPT Ah bah:

PLT All right,you guys ready?

15 13 18 SPT Yes, sir.

PLT Got your wrist tethers where you want them?

CDR Yes.

SPT Yes.

PLT Verify your flows in IVA.

CDR IVA.

SPT IVA.

15 13 24 PLT PRESS to REG I.

CDR PRESS to REG i.

PLT BOTH to DELTA-P.

SPT BOTH going to DELTA-P.

 Page332 Day158

PLT Verify SUIT PRESS light off ... by 28 to 31.

CDR Why are we pressurizing? ...

SPT Pete, we always do. This is nothing new.

SPT Okay.

CDR Amazing how well my ears are clearing, Joe.

SPT That's beautiful.

CDR Glad I'm up - -

SPT Maybe we're suited for zero g after all. Okay, nV

light is out at 2.9.

CDR Yes, my light is out, and I'm stabilized 3.8.

PLT Okay. Yours stable, Joe?

SPT No - Yes, 3.7.

15 14 14 PLT Okay. Go PRESS SELECT to BOTH; verify no change in

cuffgageor yourlights.

CDR PRESSURE SELECT to BOTH. No change in the cuff gage or

the lights.

PLT Verify SOP ... Are you going to help each other?

SPT Yes, we should. Can you turn 1807

CDR Okay, now.

SPT Just right there is fine. Hold it right there.

CDR Now what do we do? We turn on our SOPs?

PLT Open each other's SOP 0 2 valves.

SPT We'll do this one at a time. I'm opening Pete's.

So read - It helps to read through it twice. Pete's
is OPEN.

PLT Okay. Then on 317, turn his 02 SUPPLY valve to CLOSE.

CDR I'll do that.

 Day158 Page333

SPT All right.

PLT I get a ... and SOP FLOW. Check the medium pressure
gage for 27 to 45. As soon as you -
SPT I see that it's in the green.

CDR Okay.

SPT Wait a minute. Let me doublecheck that. Yes, it's

in the green.

CDR Okay. That's a good check.

PLT Verifying SOP FLOW. Open your 02 valve.

SPT Okay.

PLT On panel 317 -

SPT I can get my own, Pete.

CDR You can?

-- SPT Yes. It floats up higher in zero g.

CDR Okay.

15 15 21 SPT All right, my SOP 02 valve is OPEN. MY 02 SUPPLY

has gone CLOSED, I think. Okay, it's CLOSED. I
got a tone. I got a - what purports to be an SOP
FLOW light - that goldanged thing covers it. I punch
it OFF. I go SOP 02 back OPEN. MY light goes out,

and I close - No, I leave my SOP 02 on now, don't I?

CDR Right.

SPT Okay. I'm done.

PLT Okay, as soon as ... verify, inspect each other's

neck rings, wrist rings, SOP and four PCU connectors
all locked.

SPT I like your neck rings.

CDR I like yours.

SPT Okay_
Page
334 Day158

CDR I can see your gloves are locked.

SPT Let me check that for sure. That one's locked.
Let me see this one. Goldang'

CDE That's locked. I can see it.

SPT All right, you could see it; I couldn't.

CDR Let me look at yours that are locked. Everyone of

your connectors is locked. And locked ...

SPT Right.

CDR Blue is locked, locked. Red is locked, locked.

SPT That one and that one are locked. Okay.

CDR Where are all your tools and everything? I've

lost all of them.

SPT They're behind me. They're right behind me.

CDR Oh, good. Okay.

PLT Okay, I've got a warning I want to read to you.

Two warnings and a note. How about that?

SPT All right.

PLT If your cuff gage drops below 3.6 at any time

during depress, Pete, close the valve.

CDR Oksy.

PLT And give me a holler, and I'll open the equalization

valve.

CDR Okay.

PLT If the LOW VENT FLOW light comes ON before depress

is complete, change your FLOW SELECTOR to EVA, NORM.

CDR Okay.

$PT Roger.
Day158 Page335

15 17 14 PLT Okay, and if we get a rapid DELTA-P, or if it looks

like we're leaking out anything else in the cluster,
I'ii tell you to close the depress valve.

SPT All right.

PLT Now, wait, I got to close the equalization valve

in the hatch.

CDR Okay.

PLT Okay, it's CLOSED; go ahead and open the depress

valve.

CDR All right. Now I depress how far?

PLT It doesn't say. You just meter it however you want.

CDR Okay.

15 18 03 CC Okay, Skylab; Houston. We got you for about

5-1/2 minutes here over Ascension.

CDR Okay, Houston. The'lock is on its way down, 4.2

anddropping.

CC Understand.

CDR Okay. My suit is hanging right in there at 3.85.

SPT 3.75 is what I got.

SPT There'll be some difference there.

CDR Yes.

PLT Houston, PLT. You might take a reading on the MDA

pressure just for information for the future crews.
It indicated that it got up to about 5.3 to 5.4 in
here before we went DEPRESS.

CC Okay, we got it.

CDR There's two in the lock, 3.85 on my suit.

CC Okay.

336 Day158

CC Okay, and Houston here; you're GO for hatch open any

time you get it down there. Systems are looking good.

CDR What the heck did all this Junk come from?

SPT Okay. I got the TV on. You got the TV yet, Houston?

CDR Houston, you may be interested in knowing that on

the lock dump valve, a large block of ice is growing
on the screen.

SPT Is that what that is?

CDR Yes.

SPT I couldn't gigure out what it was.

MCC That on the inside, Pete, or on the outside?

15 19 29 CDR On the inside. There must have been enough moisture

in the air, Rusty, that it - as it hit the screen,
why it must have been super cool; it froze. And it
is a rather weird-looking fellow. That's what's
taking the lock so long to dump down. I 'd say it
cuts the- _-_

SPT Can you scrape at it with your finger?

CDR No. It's a solid block. I guess I can.

SPT Yes.

CDR Well, I don't want to.

SPT I'm sure you'd help ...

CDR All I did was block it more. I'd better leave well
enough alone.

CC How about breathing on it?

CDR Well, I thought about that, but ...

PLT Pete, you're still coming down drastically. I'm

reading about 0.8.

CDR Yes, I'm showing 0.8 also.

 Day158 Page337

PLT It sure has leveled off, though.

CDR It blocks about two-thirds of the screen.

CC Okay. You've got a nice tool in there called

a pry bar. You might want to poke at it with it
if it does block you completely.

! CDR It starts,it starts-

SPT It's in the pores of the screen, Rusty. We'd have

to break the screen in order to ...

CDR I don't want to do that. There's debris there

and everything -

SPT Leave well enough alone.

PLT Yes, it's still coming down. I'm reading about

0.5 or 0.6.

SPT Okay.

f
PLT I think part of the reason it's taking so long to
dump is ...

15 20 53 MCC P.J., have you got a minute there? While weTre

going down, sometime on panel 203, we'd like to
turn the ATM coolant loops - loop pumps, all three
of them off. I'd like to have you verify that.

CDR You know what's happened here, our flow is equal to

what it will take out now. It's holding about
one-half of psi.

MCC You think we dare open the hatch at one-half psi?

CDR No. I hate to tear my pry bar, Rusty, I'm looking

around for something else I might use. My pry bar
is neatly packaged.

SPT The only thing I can give you is the ...

CDR I got something here - my wrist tether.

SPT Want to tickle it with the handle? All right.

SPT Need something skinny to stick down in between the

h at ch.
Page338 Day158

CDR Okay, that gets some - gets some of it.

15 22 15 PLT Guess what I forgot?

SPT What?

PLT The procedures.

SPT Oks_. I think we can wing it. i

CDR Yes.

PLT They are very neatly folded up down on _ wardroom

locker door.

CDR Are we over Houston?

MCC Houston. Yes, go ahead, Pete.

CDR Did you read that, Houston? How about 3 and ...

CC What's your last?

PLT Pete, they don't read me unlessthey -

CDR Paul left the procedures, not that we need them,

down in the wardroom neatly in his locker. How
about up-linking your TV procedures next station.

MCC Okay. We'll do that.

CDR Okay. We have most of it. We got it pretty well

committed to memory.

MCC We'll get the two messages up.

15 23 03 CDR All right, now we look like we're about 0.2. What
do you read, P. J.?

PLT I'm reading about 0.2 on one ...

SPT 0.3 is okay for opening the hatch, Pete.

CDR All right. GO.

PLT Should read 0.2 on one gage and 0.3 on the other.

PLT Good. Well done.

 Day158 Page339
p.

CDR Here goes the hatch. I'm going to - Go ahead on the

procedures, P. J.

PLT Okay. When you depress the -

15 23 22 MCC We've got 20 seconds until LOS. We'll pick you up

over Carnarvon at 47.

CDR Okay.

PLT When depress, you ... the MODE selection to

ABSOLUTE. You may get a little ...

CDR Okay.

PLT Let me know when you're both there.

SPT I'm there.

15 23 45 CDR l'm reading about 3.5.

PLT Joe?

SPT I Just thought. I have to take that silly thing

off and put it on again every time I move now.
It's okay, and I'm reading about 3.45.

PLT Okay. Verify ... SELECT to BOTH.

SPT It's in BOTH.

PLT No EVA, NORM? EVA, NORM on the - on the flow.

Verify good pressure cuff gage, and all lights off.

CDH I got good pressure on the cuff gage; all

lights off.

PLT Okay, make sure that the EVA hatch retainer is

spring-loaded to the engaged position.
SPT It is.

PLT Unlock the hatch handle lock.

CDR The lock is unlocked.

PLT Open the handle; verify that it goes fully

clockwise.

CDR Okay.

CDR It missed - (Laughter)

SPT Did it miss the thing?

CDR It missed the thing.

!
SPT I hope it doesn't miss it on the way in, that's all.

CDR Let me check that. No.

15 24 48 SPT It catches it, huh?

CDR Yes.

SPT Okay.

15 24 52 CDR Very good. The hatch is open. Let me get this

first.

PLT Engage the ... all open ON.

SPT Hi, there. Big chunksof ice.

SPT He's got the rod, and started.

CDR Okay, I've got my protector visor down.

SPT Yes. Oh, yes. Good idea.

CDR How's that valve work now that we've got the hatch
open?

15 25 25 SPT Mostly the - the ice is ... mostly gone from it.

SPT Okay.
CDR Look at all the stuff going down.

SPT Yes. Isn't that incredible?

CDR Okay. What 's next ?

PLT Well, that's the part that - down in the wardroom.

SPT All right, you go out and get the FAS foot restraints,
and I'll start handing you poles.
Day158 Page341

15 25 42 CDR-EVA Okay, I'm on my way.

SPT DO I hand you the mushroom end first?

CDR-EVA I think that I want the BET first.

PLT That's right. You want the BET first.

CDR-EVA Just a minute.

15 25 57 SPT It's not a big deal, but you're right. The procedure
calls for the BET first. Where the heck is the BET?
(Laughter) There it is.

15 26 15 CDR-EVA What am ! hanging on? Is m_ umbilical pulling me

back?

SPT Just a minute. Yes, it is. You need a little more

umbilical. I1m sorry. I w_sn't paying attention.
Wait a minute. Pete, I'd like you to bring your
feet up over your umbilical if you can.

SPT There you go. Wait a minute. One more - We got it

off of one foot. Let me get it - Oh -

CDR-EVA Which one?

SPT Never mind because I'll do it. Okay.

CDR-EVA Got it?

SPT Yes. Now go ahead in.

PLT Pete, you may want your gold visor down.

15 26 54 SPT-EVA Man, the buoyancy is better here, Pete, than it is

in the water, isn't it?

15 27 03 CDR-EVA All right, now. Let me find F-7. The first thing
I need to do - let me, let me - wait a minute. Let
me - Hold this so I don't forget it - Let me get the
front end free and pull those locks right now. Get
them out of the way.

SPT-EVA That's fine.

CDR-EVA Which is the - heck - That's the spare, right?

Page342 Day158

CDR-EVA Okay. The large locks are pulled on both of them.

Look at that ... - All right? Now.

15 27 50 SPT-EVA You ready for the BET?

CDR-EVA Hold it. Let me get back in my foot restraint.

SPT-EVA We're quite mobile out there.

CDR-EVA Well, it's a little bit better than the water tank.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

15 28 08 CDR-EVA Which quads were they interested in? These quads

look the same. Wait, I got to find F-7, and F-6, F-15,
and F-7; I got it.

CDR-EVA That won't hook there. Going to have to do it this

way.

15 28 34 SPT-EVA Pete, I'm going to clamp your umbilical tokeep it -

my way. Okay?

CDR-EVAAllright.

15 28 38 SPT-EVA Just remember to unclamp it before you move.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Out of the station.

CDR-EVA There's the - BET's out of the way.

SPT-EVA Okay. You ready for a pole, huh?

CDR-EVA Hold it. Just let me look at this a minute.

15 28 55 SPT-EVA I'm going to be getting the first pole. That's a

significant chore.

PLT It's bright out there.

SPT-EVA Whee :

PLT Joe, do you have your inner protective, clear visor

down?
 Day158 Page343
[

SPT-EVA Yes, Paul, I do. When you reminded me the last time,
I put it down.

PLT Okay.

PLT Hello.

CDR-EVA (Laughter)

SPT-EVA Okay, that end is loose.

CDR-EVA Hey that ... you want it put out here, Paul? It's
already out here.

SPT-EVA They launched it out there, didn't they?

PLT-EVA I didn't want to put it out there; somebody else did.

SPT-EVA I went out and put it there this morning during prep.

CDR-EVA Take your time. We got all the time in the World today.

SPT-EVA Right.

CDR-EVA That little beauty.

15 30 48 CDR-EVA A lot of rods floating around.

15 30 50 SPT-EVA All I know is the tape was nice and strong, but when
I pulled the second rod off, the third and fourth
ones came part way off, too.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA I'll just herd them; no problem.

CDR-EVA Well, I'll just watch.

SPT-EVA Okay. They're both still attached at one end each.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Now you want to - male end, right?

CDR-EVA Right. Very good. You hold onto that.

Page344 Day158

15 31 20 SPT-EVA I will. I got it. This is going to be okay, Pete.

I think even with the long rod, I'll have plenty of
room for it in here while you work right there with
it. Got it?

CDR-EVA So far.

SPT-EVA Good.

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Okay, you got it.

PLT I can see the gray tape special coming out. We're
approaching the terminator.

CDR-EVA Have you got the lights on?

PLT-EVA ... the light switches in here are all ON, ON.

SPT-EVA I noticed.

CDR-EVA We just launched a blind rivet off into a solar

orbit.

SPT-EVA That's all right.

CDR-EVA Oh, there's two handrails going up to where we've

got to go that I had forgotten about.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute.

15 32 16 CDR-EVA See if you can give it to me another way. It's okay,

Joe, no sweat, Just hand it out - hand it out.

SPT-EVA Just you wait, now.

CDR-EVA Now, don't tire yourself out now. I want you to rest.

CDR-EVA I'm resting.

CDR-EVA Now. Just hold it right there because the nuts backed
off.

SPT-EVA OKay.
 Day158 Page345

SPT-EVA No, it's just all right in here. I knew I'd have to
do that pitch _ueuver. Because I secured both ends
of the rods, I have to pitch over to reach them.
That's okay.

CDR-EVA They're free. Now I got to watch the solar panel.

Now, the other kind of dynamics you get into, watch
that strap. See that? That son-of-a-gun will go
i aroundforever.

SPT-EVA What are you looking at?

CDR-EVA I'm looking at the strap on the end of the pole.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes, isn't that beautiful?

CDR-EVA Now I can pick it up, I guess.

15 33 33 SPT-EVA I'm ready with the next pole.

CDR-EVA Okay.

15 33 42 SPT-EVA ... you're at the end of it already.

SPT-EVA Good music.

CDR-EVA Gosh darn it!

SPT-EVA Well done.

15 33 55 CDR-EVA Gosh darn! There it is. That one I have to hand-

turn all the way, for some reason.

PLT I'm jettisoning a certain amount of debris.

CDR-EVA All right. Now, I got to get this out of here.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA You can stay clear of the solar panel. Okay, now
the hook is unlocked. I'm ready.
15 34 34 SPT-EVA Okay. Now I'm going to have to - Oh, boy.

CDR-EVA I know what you're going to have to do.

SPT-EVA It's tricky as heck to get this thing out.

CDR-EVA And I'm going to have to go outside, I think.

Page346 Day158

SPT-EVA l'm going to have to, as I say, do a 180 on this

thing after we get it out.

CDR-EVA Well, you can hand it to me either way, and I can

turn it around.

PLT Watch that solar panel, Pete.

CDR-EVA It's a long one. First I have to loosen this end

of it.

CDR-EVA Let me put the pole down here where I'll know where
it's at.

SPT-EVA Get the tape off it. Get back away from my own
snakes. And get the snakes herded back into the
aft section. Keep up with all that stuff. Now,
sir.

CDR-EVA Guess the con_nand module docking lights are on,

too, huh?

SPT-EVA Really?

CDR-EVAWhoturned
themon?

SPT-EVA I don't know. The ground must have done it.

15 35 28 CDR-EVA No, I don't think they can do it. The command module?

SPT-EVA I don't think you can turn them off, can you?

CDR-EVA The switch works. All right, hold it, now. I got
it.

SPT-EVA Now, can you really turn that around?

15 35 43 CDR-EVA I tell you what -

SPT-EVA I can't go out.

CDR-EVA You hold the pole.

SPT-EVA Which one? That pole? Okay.

CDR-EVA You got it?

15 35 51 PLT We got 1 minute until sunset.

'_ Day158 Page347

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA When you need that part of it done - Good show,

good show , Pete. Hold it right there.

CDR-EVA Now -

SPT-EVA I got a hold of it.

CDR-EVA How far back in can you go with it?

SPT-EVA Quite a ways back in, I think.

CDR-EVA Here let me have -

SPT-EVA You grab that pole.

CDR-EVA You go on back in there.

SPT-EVA Nothing else holding that pole right now, except your
little fist.

15 36 20 CDR-EVA I got it.

PLT Joe, I can see pretty well in the lock compartment.

If there is anything you're hunting for, rather
than Just thrash around, Just ask me, and I'll look in.

SPT-EVA Okay, thank you.

CDR-EVA Uh-oh !

SPT-EVA What ?

CDR-EVA I almost got the tether wrapped up in the - in the -

SPT-EVA Oh, in the solar panel?

15 36 46 CDR-EVA Yes. Now, Joe, how far forward in the lock

compartment can you go with this thing?

SPT-EVA How's that?

CDR-EVA Okay. Good enough. That 'ii do it.

PLT Here comes sunset.

3_8 Day158

SPT-EVA Yes.

15 37 06 CDR-EVA I don't think - think I'm going to have to take it

out s ide.

15 37 ll SPT-EVA What do you want me to do?

CDR-EVA Well, wait until I get my visor up so I can adapt to

the dark.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

15 37 19 SPT-EVA Not a lot of light in the FAS, is there?

CDR-EVA I don't see any lights on.

SPT-EVA Well, let me check the switches.

CDR-EVA I don't know where any of them are, but -

SPT-EVA Well, there are - Switches are right in here in the

lock. I'm wondering about circuit breakers. Lighting:
AM, DA, ATM. They're all on.

15 37 49 CDR-EVAThere
you go.

SPT-EVA Now we got some lights on, huh?

CDR-EVA Good as the home.

CDR-EVA All right, you got a hold of the tool, Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Okay, hang on to it a minute.

SPT-EVA I've got it. It m_y, you know, jiggle a little.

PLT Those are the ones they told me to open this morning.
I think the intent is to open them after you guys get
out of the FAS.

SPT-EVA I see.

PLT I don't think you need both of them closed, Pete.

I'm going to open one of them.
"J_- Day158 Page349

CDR-EVA Okay.

15 38 20 PLT Does that make any difference?

SPT-EVA Yes, it does. We need them both.

15 38 23 PLT How's that?

SPT-EVA It's better. I don't -

PLT I'm going to open another one now. Does that make
any difference?

SPT-EVA Yes, it cuts half the lights off.

15 38 34 PLT Okay. That's all I wanted to know.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT I'm not going to complain about a cold MDA again.

SPT-EVA Ever, ever.

PLT I think I'm going to put a tape on. Anything

special you like to hear?

SPT-EVA No. "Sons of the Pioneers." Whatever you got. Got

your bagpipers? Good show.

PLT It's here someplace. It takes me awhile to answer

you, gang. I'm not wearing this headset and I got
to find it, and grab it -

15 39 2h SPT-EVA Yes, that's all right. We'll use "No reply required"
after this.

CDR-EVA It may come out.

SPT-EVA You got a place to hang it, right?

CDR-EVA Yes.

15 h0 2h SPT-EVA Watch the ATM panel with it. I'm letting go of it.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Well, Pete, here we are at night. Rather than cool

it for 30 seconds, why don't I hand you S082A? ...
out there.
Page350 Day158

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA And maybe we can even get on with it.

CDR-EVA Yes. Now you've got the tool out there. I'm going
to get my umbilical over the tool .... makes 82A out.

15 40 39 CDR-EVA This might be useful afterwards for something, Whoops!

CDR-EVA A little bit of a struggle to get that last one in,

but -

SPT-EVA I saw that. It was - it was the one we knew would be

the tough one. I may not remember exactly how they -
how to hand you this.

CDR-EVA You got to get an umbilical - Just a minute.

15 _l 30 CDR-EVA Oh boy, is that better than the water tank!

SPT-EVA (Laughter)

CDR-EVA Tell you what, I can go get this thing and put it on
theboom, too.

SPT-EVA Yes. Yes, you can go ahead and - Put a launch-lock

D-ring on the boom, Pete.

CDR-EVA I did that.

SPT-EVA Okay. You can go ahead -

15 hl 57 CDR-EVA I've put both of them, as matter of fact.

SPT-EVA Well, you weren't supposed to do that.

CDR-EVA Too bad.

PLT Hello, Houston. CDR gets a no-no.

SPT-EVA You can put the hook on, if it want - if it won't be

in your way.

15 h2 13 CDR-EVA Doing it right now.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Oh, man! This set beats the water t_nks!

 "_ Day158 Page351

SPT-EVA (Laughter) Beautiful.

CDR-EVA Might as well put the other one on, huh?

!
SPT-EVA We don't use it.

CDR-EVA Well, you could ask the EVA -

SPT-EVA Might get in the way.

CDR-EVA Yes.

15 _2 50 PLT I tell you, let me come on out, because there's no

use sitting here ...

CDR-EVA Joe, you got your safety visor down?

SPT-EVA No, it's up so I can see better.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Let me drop it now and see what -

CDR-EVA ... see anything.

SPT-EVA Well, okay.

PLT No, he said the safety visor, the inner visor.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA I know what he meant. The -

CDR-EVA Wait, Joe, wait. Before we get out, let me ask a

questio n. What are we going to do with that umbilical?
Are you going to try and go over?

15 43 14 SPT-EVA Not over the top - on the front end.

PLT ... You're supposed to pull out a big heap ... piece,
remember?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDB-EVA Now wait. We don't have to do that, yet.

• SPT-EVA Probably not to do that, yet.

Page352 Day158

CDR-EVA I'll tell you what, - -

PLT All right.

CDR-EVA - - if you want to go over the handrail, and also

look and see what you can see up there, you can I
dothat.

15 43 30 SPT-EVA I'd rather get the front-end stuff out of the way,
Pete.

CDR-EVA Oh, you want to do that. Yes.

SPT-EVA Yes, heck. It - it won't take long.

15 43 37 CDR-EVA Well, the _ only thing that's bothering me is that pole

is sticking out there.

SPT-EVA Yes, but there's no sharp edges on that.

15 43 42 CDR-EVA Yes, I know; but you're going to have it flailing

around.

PLT Hey, we're in a bad configuration to go off the

checklist here, Joe, I really think.

CDR-EVA ... the ATM isn't right and everything else.

SPT-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Pull your umbilical out, then.

CDR-EVA How much time we got until daylight?

PLT Shoot, a long time.

CDR-EVA Can't be more than 25 minutes - 20 minutes.

15 44 02 PLT Mould you believe 29?

SPT-EVA It's been a long time. I hate to waste it.

SPT-EVA But, okay, I'll pull your umbilical out. How many -
55 feet, huh?

PLT Darn, that's going to be a -

CDR-EVA Well, that's what I remember - -

'f Day158 Page353

PLT You got the thing already out?

CDR-EVA I think we ought to Just rest.

the umbilical out after sunrise. We don't need
s1_n]ight for -

15 44 28 CDR-EVA Let's wait for l0 minutes of.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Okay?

SPT-EVA Hey, Pete, where're we going to go?

15 44 34 CDR-EVA We don't want to get off the checklist. We got awfully

comfortable.

SPT-EVA I don't see why we need to - need to be so darned afraid

to get off the checklist.

p SPY-EVA The less I can stir up the -

CDR-EVA Well, let's see what's done wrong.

PLT Okay, ... up and leave the ATM coolant pumps on.

SPT-EVA Yes. I never look at where I'm going to be going.

CDR-EVA You see the - you see there's a handrail here?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Look, there's one right up there, and I -

SPT-EVA Underneath ... Right?

CDR-EVA You're going right under these trusses -

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA - right on around.

SPY-EVA yes. There's the window, and there's the D024.

That's the ... vent right there, right?

CDE-EVA That's that lock. That was that nitrogen blow vent
that was on the shroud.

SPT-EVA Well, I just take those handrails right over, right?

CDR-EVA Yes, you could.

CDR-EVA I think you're going to have to go around that way

first, though.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA You can pick up under the truss.

SPT-EVA That's right; I want to go under it.

CDR-EVA You want to go right out to this one.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA You want to go right up. Now see, when he says mount
the A-frame, I got to look out here. Oh, I see where
you're ... I got a long way - you got to get up that ....
A-frame before I get that tool to you.

SPT-EVA Yes. Yes, that's going to be the tricky part, no

doubt about it.

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT Did you guys figure or feel ...?

SPT-EVA No.

CDB-EVA No.

CDR-EVA He's coming to your window.

PLT Which one? Hey, Joe -

CDR-EVA Hold it.

_" Day158 Page355

SPT-EVA The one you can see ... 30 out of.

CDR-EVA Joe, hold it. Back right up to me.

SPT-EVA What's going on?

CDR-EVA Your umbilical is not connected to your PCU with

umbilical tiedown, Joe. Just - just slide right back
to the hatch.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA And come back towards me.

SPT-EVA It must have slipped off. I know I put it on.

CDR-EVA Let me get it right on like this. Wait a minute.

Okay.

SPT-EVA Good.

f CDR-EVA Verify mine's still on. Is that all right?

PLT What are you doing?

SPT-EVA Right there.

15 47 31 CDR-EVA All right. I believe - let me Just look at your ...

I got to make sure the little snap popped through.
It did.

SPT-EVA Okay. Let me Just ... up tight. And then ... I do

have to get pretty darn high on it.

15 47 47 CDR-EVA Well, you're not looking at the right A-frame. You

can't ... - -

SPT-EVA Over here?

CDR-EVA It's clean around there. It's the one where I Just -
if you get here, you could see it's got that discone
tray on it still.

CDR-EVA Be way up over?

SPT-EVA Just a minute. Yes, I see it.

Page356 Day158

CDR'EVA How far around can you see?

SPT-EVA I can see most of the discone tray. I can't see the
surface of the ... and I can't see the discone itself;
it's too dark.

CDR-EVA l'm looking for the other diseone. I wonder where the
heck that is.

SPT-EVA Where the heck is the world, anyway?

MCC We're right here. We're reading you loud and clear.

SPT-EVA I didn't mean the world world, I meant the clouds

and Earth and sea world underneath.

CDR-EVA Okay. Would you like the status?

MCC Yes, sir, we would like the status.

15 48 55 CDR-EVA We have five poles rigged, swinging on the hook. And

we're just intrepidly peering around out here decid-
ing how far around Joe can get in the dark. We have
not pulled umbilicals out. We're Just cooling it.
Now, the pole assembly went super slick. We had a
little - I had a little Juggling problem getting the
last longie with the tool on because I did it,
surprisingly enough, by having Joe hold on it in the
airlock. We had it all the way in the airlock and
I found a way to snuggie the pole out next to the
solar panel over to the Sun end side and Just line
her up that way and pop her on.

15 52 12 CDR-EVA ...

15 53 20 MCC We cannot, because of the possible instrumentation

problem, we cannot confirm flow or DELTA-P on second-
ary pump. What we recommend is go ahead and switching
the SUB 1 PUMP to PRIMARY and see if you sense any
difference there. And when you get the primary running
or if you feel the secondary pump is running, then go
ahead and activate the coolant loop when the flow gets
warm for you.

15 53 52 SPT-EVA Okay. Watch the PRIMARY, I'm going to switch it now.

MCC Okay.
r Day158 Page
357

CDR'EVA Oh, there's the Earth. How about that?

SPT-EVA You find the Earth?

CDR-EVA Yes, with the lights out it's lovely. What part of
the world are we over?

MCC You're over western Australia, sir.

CDR-EVA Western Australia. I see some large lights off to

my left. If we're actually over Western Australia
then I'm looking eastwards. No.

15 54 27 PLT Okay, PRIMARY SUS i PUMP is ON. Can you see it?
You see what bothers me, Rusty, is when I turn that
pump on, I don't get a caution and warning.

CDR-EVA Want to look out, Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes, I'm looking out behind you.

CDR-EVA Right, there's a half a Moon.

SPT-EVA You can see the lights, you can see the moonlight on
the clouds.

15 54 46 CDR-EVA Oh, I can see the cities, yes.

15 54 48 SPT-EVA Horizon to horizon.

CDR-EVA I think I got -

MCC Will you guys quit lollygagging for Just a minute,

so we can get a word to Paul?

15 54 55 SPT-EVA Yes_ go ahead.

15 54 57 MCC Okay. Paul, we would like you to go to BYPASS on

the flow there, on the heat exchanger at first, if
you have not already done that - before you activate
the coolant loop.

15 55 09 PLT Okay, will do. I got the PP_IMARY PUMP, ON. Did you
copy my thing about no CAUTION & WARNING?

MCC Understand that you got no CAUTION & WARNING on it.

Page358 Day158

PLT Yes, either one. When I turn - on SUS i, when you

turn on the - either the primary pump or the second-
ary pump, we don't get the EVA-1 WARNING. And I'm
on primary pump now; I've not actuated the PRIMARY
LOOP and I'm goingto BYPASSnow. !

MCC Okay. And let us know about the noise, and also let
us know whether you feel any sensation of cooling.

MCC And, Pete, for you, let me ask whether the docking
lights appear to light up the diseone so you can go
on up there or not.

CDR-EVA Well, I - I never got around that far, I - I can't

really tell. Who turned on the tracking lights?
Turn that off.

SPT-EVA Want me to go up and take another look?

15 56 19 CDR-EVA Well, I can skinny around here and see if I can see
the other dipole. Just a second.

15 56 26 MCC Pete, as a reminder on your next step - You're going

to want to pull 55 feet of EV-I umbilical out and
put it behind you in the SAS. And then before Joe
comes out, he wants to pull out into the narrow end
of the lock compartment 35 feet of his umbilical.

CDR-EVA Yes, we understand.

15 56 41 SPT-EVA I can see the - I can see the discone from here
perfectly.

CDR-EVA Which one?

SPT-EVA Mine. The one of interest.

CDR-EVA The one - where are you?

SPT-EVA I'm up here.

CDR-EVA Oh, how did you get out there?

SPT-EVA - - around the corner.

CDR-EVA I see.
f

Day158 PageB59

SPT-EVA And the green - the green docking light illl,m_nates

the area fairly well. I think we can get started.

CDR-EVA Okay. Well, back to - pull out - -

MCC Okay. If the green docking lights - lights are up -

well you can turn - P. J. can turn off the other
docking light. And that'll save us some power.

PLT I don't understand.

MCC Okay. P. J., you got - you got two circuit Dresxers
over on panel 202. The left-hand and next to the
bottom row, andI'm not sure which one turns off the
green and which one turns off the red, but you can
try them, _ud Joe can give you the answer.

15 57 30 PLT Okay. All right, give me a holler, Joe. I'll turn

them off one at a time. Tell me when you want.

SPT-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA That's okay. Leave the other one on. No, not that
one. No, no. (Laughter) That's right. Okay.
Pete, I guess I'll get your 1_hilical out.

CDR-EVA All right.

15 57 57 MCC Okay. And, troops, we got about h5 seconds to LOS

at Carnarvon. We're going to be picking up Gusm at
16:01 here, which is Just a couple of minutes. And
I think that you're going to press on up to the
discone at this time. And, P. J., how's the cooling?

PLT There is none, Rusty, yet. And when is the first

station with TV?

15 58 19 MCC Okay. That's going to be Goldstone, and it'll be

coming up at 16:27. So, we'll let you know that at
GusZ_.

PLT All right.

CDR-EVA Tell me where it's going.

SPT-EVA It's going behind you.

360 Day158

15 58 31 PLT You have 15 minutes until sunrise, gang.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Here comes the big snake, man.

15 58 37 CC And, Pete, you've got about 14 minutes before sunrise.

So you've got lots of time there.

15 58 48 CDR-EVA How far have you got to now?

SPT-EVA Forty.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA (Laughter)

CDR-EVA Holy Christmas!

SPT-EVA Forty-five.

CDR-EVA Where's it all going?

SPT-EVA
Fifty.

CDR-EVA Gee, I wonder if there's anything you can hang up on

down there.

SPT-EVA Fifty-five. Yes, well, we'll write a letter for you

if there is.

15 59 15 CDR-EVA Clamp the 55 and a deal. He asked for it once.

SPT-EVA All right. That ain't a bad idea.

CDR-EVA Holy Christmas! The problem is l've got a - Why did

I do that?

SPT-EVA What?

CDR-EVA Where's the tether end? It's down here, right?

SPT-EVA Right there.

CDR-EVA I'm unfortunately over it.

SPT-EVA Over what?

Day158 Page
361

CDR-EVA Over my unbilical. I think I got a big loop in it.

What I'm going to do is pull out the 55-foot end
at the same time I'm pulling out the short end.
I got a big loop in it.

SPT-EVA Couldn't you have a big loop in it?

CDR-EVA Yes, look at it. It comes over m_ shoulder, right?

Where's that - where's - where's this coming from
over m_ thumb? This one.

16 00 ll SPT-EVA Goes over your shoulder, but where it goes frcm there
I cannot tell.

CDR-EVA Oh, it's got to go to my suit. And this one is

through the loop. Darn It!

SPT-EVA Well, wait a minute. Let's see -

CDR-EVA I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

SPT-EVA You're going to have to move yourself through a loop,

I think.

CDR-EVA I'm going to have to go through this loop - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA - - right here.

CDR-EVA All right, now. Push that over me. Wait. Wait
1 second.

SPT-EVA All right.

16 00 50 SPT-EVA Wait aminute. I lost it for a minute there. Okay.

-f

CDR-EVA Okay. Yes. Let me tell yo u something about these

foot restraints. You can take those foot plates
iout of there.

SPT-EVA Hc_'s that?

CDR-EVA Huh? It's - it's real easy for a fellow to get

himself hung up in them. Man, m_ - _ left shoe
hardly comes out of that thlng. All right, now
where am I? They're all behind me now?
 Page
362 Day158

SPT-EVA Yes, it looks like it.

CDR-EVA I'm not sure what I got, yet.

SPT-EVA Yes, I just hope by screwing around, we haven't made I

a loopwheretherewas nonebefore.

16 Ol 42 CDR-EVA Well, I tell you what -

SPT-EVA ... there was an apparent loop.

CDR-EVA Huh?

CDR-EVA Mine's over m_ shoulder now. Is this mine?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Trying to figure out where it goes.

SPT-EVA Goes right over - right around your back and into your
PCU.

CDR-EVA No, where it goes from there - goes down into here.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's the next end of it.

CDR-EVA Well, here, let me get it down. Get it.

16 02 53 MCC Okay, Skylab. This is Houston again. Over Guam for

about 8-1/2 minutes.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Roger.

16 03 01 CDR-EVA I tell you, I'm going to get worn out doing the
things that require you to get there. Do it. Well,
that's a big snarl down there. I hope it all comes
out right.

SPT-EVA Now, I suggest you take that loop in your hand, and
put it up over your head.

CDR-EVA Why did we do that?

SPT-EVA Well -

CDR-EVA Huh?
 Day158 Page
363

SPT-EVA l'm Just checking it.

1 16 03 37 CDR-EVA Okay. Is that all right?

SPT-EVA Yes, and it all goes behind you.

CDR-EVA Have you checked yours?

SPT-EVA Mine is in reasonable shape, I think. It's all be-

hind me.

CDR-EVA 0kay. I 'ii check -

SPT-EVA See how it strings out, right now.

CDR-EVA Okay.

16 03 49 MCC And, Pete, Just for information, we do have you for

about 8 minutes here, and we've got the procedures
in case you want anything on them.

r CDR-EVA Okay. Aren't you going to up-link them?

MCC Yes, sir, we are. And I'll give you estimate on when
they'll - when they're going to be up there.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT Okay, Rusty. No Joy on the cooling yet.

CDR-EVA Hey, Joe, move forward.

MCC Okay. Paul, the question is, have you activated the
primary coolant loop on - loop on pan - panel 203?

16 04 12 PLT ...

CDR-EVA Now_ Joe, I think you want to go from your left.

SPT-EVA I'm deciding where the best handholds are right now.

PLT You want INVERTER 1 PUMP Alfa, right?

16 04 21 MCC Right. We want PRIMARY COOLANT LOOP to INVERTER i,

and we want PRIMARY COOLANT PUMP A, ON.

.- 16 04 27 PLT All right.

Page
364 Day158

SPT-EVA All right. Yes. Circumferential handholds here; they're

beautiful. Rusty must have known about them. He didn't
tell us.

16 04 43 CDR-EVA I hear a caution & warning, Paul?

16 04 49 PLT Yes, I turned the primaray coolant loop pump on.

MCC Joe, are you going through the tresses, or up over

the top? You should be going through them.

SPT-EVA Through, through. I'm right on the MDA surface. I'm

looking - -

MCC Okay.

SPT-EVA - - at Paul through the window right now. The other

window, Paul. Hi, there.

CDR-EVA That's correct, isn't it, Rusty?

MCC Yes, you should be right down and the nicest path we
found was right along the mol sieve vent duct. There's
about 6 inches of diameter with the silver tape on it.

SPT-EVA Well, yes. I'm - I'm hanging onto a blue handrail

that's Just - Just forward of that.

MCC Okay. Fine. We didn't have that in -

SPT-EVA I've got one hand on the handrail, one hand on the
vent duct, and I am looking at the discone antenna.

16 05 25 CDR-EVA Can you see the pin?

SPT-EVA I'll tell you. No, it's too dark at the base. The
base of the antenna is pretty dark.

CDR-EVA Paul?

MCC Okay, Joe.

CDR-EVA Paul?

16 05 36 MCC The next thing you'll be doing when you get enough
light is to go up and hook your chest tether into the
pin at the base. And then retreat back where -
behind you there, to the A-frame.
f

Day158 Page365

SPT-EVA Understand. And, Pete, I think I'ii delay that until

sunrise - -

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA - - so I can see - -

CDR-EVA Just a minute.

SPT-EVA -- so I can see what I'm doing.

CDR-EVA Just a minute.

16 05 50 MCC Okay. And for your information, you got 7 minutes to

sunrise.

CDR-EVA Just a minute. Paul, why don't you shine your flash-
light out the window? You can ill,rm_nate the pin in
the lower end of the discone. You should have a pen-
light in your suit; I put it in.

SPT-EVA Our friend Scorpio is right smack on top of _s.

PLT Mainly because the only thing I can see in the window
is Joe.

SPT-EVA And a big bowl of milk. Go ahead and try it.

PLT I'm afraid - I don't see where I'm shining.

SPT-EVA It's shining at the base of the antenna, but - -

CDR-EVA Move to the right Just a little.

SPT-EVA - - it's not good enough, Pete.

CDR-EVA All right. Okay.

16 06 26 SPT-EVA If I try to go out there, I'll block his light.

CDR-EVA Understand. Just cool it.

MCC Pete, check for the lighting down there in the FAS
and down the EV trail.

16 06 h2 CDR-EVA Oh, we've got all the rest of the lights out and all
I'm - Oh, that's fine out there. Yes, you can - It's
like broad daylight. I've - We've got all the lights
out excepz zne lock. Lights are on in the lock and
that's it. And that one docking light. What ... - -
Page366 Day158

MCC Okay.

CDR-EVA - - do you have us over now?

PLT You're over _s_.

CDR-EVA We're flying over some really well-lit island.

PLT That's Guam.

SPT-EVA Well, at least we're over @_m.

MCC Yes, you're almost directly over Guam.

CDR-EVA Yes. Hi, there, Guam.

PLT Yes. Say hello to Guam.

CDR-EVA Hi, there.

SPT-EVA Hi, Guam.

PLT It'slooking
the otherway.

SPT-EVA Guam is?

16 07 2_ CDR-EVA Getting wild, don't - don't get diddled up, trying

to ...

PLT ... Houston.

SPT-EVA Trying to what, Pete?

CDR-EVA Sightsee.

MCC Say again, Paul.

PLT I say, for your information - -

SPT-EVA All right, I'm closing my eyes, Pete.

PLT - - maybe ... little.

CDR-EVA Oh no. I said, "don't get diddled up," that's all.

SPT-EVA I'm just laying here, sightseeing.

CDR-EVA Oh.
 Day158 Page
367

PLT Let me ts3k to Houston a minute?

CDR-EVA Yes.

16 07 45 PLT For information, I'm getting counts on the PMEC, if

that helps your insight to the problem any. With
MAIN POWER OFF, we shouldn't get any counts on that,
should we, Joe?

SPT-EVA Oh, that's funny. I don't think so, but I'm not
sure; it has its own high voltage power supply.

PLT Hello, Houston. Did you copy?

MCC Go ahead, ss_ it again.

16 08 18 PLT I say, on the X-RAY SPECT PMEC, I'm getting counts

on it, for what that's worth if you're tracking down
your indication of main power still being on.

16 08 32 CDR-EVA I'm looking at the ground.

f- 16 08 33 MCC Okay, fine. Thank you very much. Hey, P. J., we're
recommending - Which pump are you on? Whichever one
you're on, we'd recommend that you try to switch to
the other one. See if that gives you amy cooling.

16 08 43 PLT Okay, I'm on the PRIMARY. I'll go back and try the
SECONDARY. I don't have any confidence that either
pump is running.

MCC Okay. We'd like you to check the circuit breakers,

and standby; I believe it's panel 202.

16 08 54 PLT We've already found them, Rusty. They're all

CLOSED.

16 08 57 MCC Okay. Understand. All the breakers are CLOSED.

16 09 02 PLT Yes, all the SUS PUMP breakers are CLOSED.

CDR-EVA Hey, that's the story of this bird. Half of every

piece of normal gear doesn't run right.

SPT-EVA Pretty wonderful machine for all that.

CDR-EVA You betcha. That's what we're here to find out.

Page
368 Day158

16 09 33 MCC Okay, Pete. You got about 3-1/2 minutes here of

night remaining. And that at that point, you should
be able to press on and Paul could turn out the dock-
ing lights to save us that before sunrise.

CDR-EVA Probably turn it out now. You don't care, do you,

Joe?

SPT-EVA No. No, I like it out. It'll make the sunrise better.

SPT-EVA Look at that sky.

16 i0 02 MCC And, Paul, if - if you're able to - if you're not

getting any cooling, we would like for you to turn
OFF the PRIMARY COOLANT LOOP again. And I - I think
we'd to have you go back to COMMAND.

16 l0 12 PLT You want me to go 0FF, and then COMMAND. Is that

right?

MCC Affirmative.

PLT Okay. Let me give it a couple of minutes, now. _

16 l0 20 SPT-EVA ... here comes sunrise. Oh, that's the blackest

black in the universe up there.

CDR-EVA Huh?

MCC Okay. We'd also like to check to make sure you got
your visors down for that.

CDR-EVA Got the visors down, man. We're ready. Standing in

the FAS, I'm going to see the sunrise upside down.

SPT-EVA (Laughter) I can see it right side up where I am.

16 l0 43 MCC Okay. We got about a minute to LOS here at Guam. And

we'll be picking up Goldstone, ane - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

MCC - - we want the TV ready - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

MCC - - at 27.
_ Day158 Page
369

SPT-EVA I can see the limb brightening in a great big crest

at about 18O degrees.

CDR-EVA Fantastic, isn't it?

SPT-EVA And stars blinking through the - through the bottom

of it like you noticed before.

PLT When you want that teleprinter, there - Ever since

we asked them to send the procedures -

16 ll 20 MCC For your information, we will have the pads going up

as soon as we get Goldstone A0S at 16:27.

SPT-EVA Roger that.

PLT-CDR Oks_, thank you. Still there, Rusty?

MCC Yes, we are.

CDR-EVA S082 went in there; it's Just out of sight. It's so

much simpler than the water tank; it's unbelievable.

MCC Roger. That's good news.

CDR-EVA Oh, this whole FAS stage, is - works Just fine. And
I will probably configure it for our next EVA, before
I cc_e back in.

MCC Okay. That sounds grand.

CDR-EVA I'm going to check out all the booms and everything else.
I figurea you guys might have something else up your
sleeve, so I'm trying to stay in front of you.

MUC Sometimes that's hard to do, because we don_t know which

direction we're moving.

CDR-EVA Thatls all right. We're coverin_ that waterfront.

Get the little orange splotch over to the left, Paul.
Can you see that, Joe? I think the others are - -

SPT-EVA I can't quite see it. Maybe if I move back a little,

I can. Whee! Now I can. Holy Moses! Yes, now I'm
looking right up the axis of the ATM.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA I've got a solar panel between me and the sunrise.

But I can see the rainbow behind it. Oh, brother!
The colors are the same as they are inside, Paul, - -
 Page370 Day158

16 12 48 CDR-EVA There it is! There it is!

SPT-EVA - - but you can see so much more it.

CDR-EVA Wow! Man!

SPT-EVA My outer visor is down.

CDR-EVA Yes, so is mine.

SPT-EVA Goodness gracious/ ... quickly. Okay, back to work.

CDR-EVA Yes. Okay, I got your umbilical.

SPT-EVA I think I made a 180, so I'm making another one back.

CDR-EVA Well, let me look. Oh, looks like - -

SPT-EVA How'd that look?

CDR-EVA ~ - ...

SPT-EVA It should be good again.

CDR-EVA Yes, it is.

SPT-EVA Okay?

CDR-EVA Go ahead.

SPT-EVA I am on my way.

CDR-EVA Handholds are pretty good, huh?

SPT-EVA So far. Up to here they're super good. Now from

here to get to the pin, ... I can almost reach it.
I - In fact, I can see the pin, so let me hold right
here and undo the gray tape (laughter). Try and
get that. Getting myself pinned here. I am pinned,
but I'm not locked yet.

PLT Hey, Pete, what's the speed on that Hasselblad film -

62?

16 l_ i0 CDE-EVA That's - well - Yes, I guess so, ASA-6h. It's TV this

pass, if they want it.

SPT-EVA Dag nab it!

 Day158 Page371

CDR-EVA What's the matter?

SPT-EVA I can't get the lock locked on that Apollo tether pin.

CDR-EVA Is there something wrong with it, or -

SPT-EVA I don't know yet. Well, I got it.

CDR-EVA What in heaven's name is -

SPT-EVA It's a little crochety on the - Now I've got to go

to the A-frame, huh?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA And up the A-frame. Hem. I can't go up the A-frame

more than the length of my tether.

CDR-EVA Well, let me see if I can see you. That's the big
problem.

F SPT-EVA Just a minute now. Thanks to my friendly handhold.

CDR-EVA There - there went some gray tape.

• SPT-EVA That 's all right. That 's gray tape off my -

CDR-EVA Shoot !

SPT-EVA What ?

CDR-EVA See the holes in the discone antenna for ...

SPT-EVA Ah-hah, I can see four holes down.

SPT-EVA All right. Well, I'm about to go to that point.

That's exactly where I'm going to go is up that -
up that beam.

16 15 50 PLT Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes ?

PLT Your chest tether is between the SOP and your leg
there.

SPT-EVA Thank you. Now let me see - Oh, yes.

Page
372 Day158 -_

PLT No, it's all right. There you go.

SPT-EVA Okay?

SPT-EVA Tell you what. I'm going to make a 180 here.

CDR-EVA I see you now.

SPT-EVA I want my t_nbilical behind my back, I think.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Like that.

CDR-EVA All right. % see you fine.

16 16 17 SPT-EVA That's as far as I can go; my tether won't let me

go any farther.

CDR-EVA Well, that's good. Stay there.

SPT-EVA Let me put my legs in -

CDR-EVA Now, let me ask you a question. I'm going to tether

your _nbilical back here, Just to keep it out of
the way -

SPT-EVA Clamp it?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA All right. Now I'm going to hand the pole up to you.

SPT-EVA Man, I superstabilized right at this particular spot.

CDR-EVA Can you see the SAS?

16 16 43 SPT-EVA I can see the pole; I can't see the SAS. I - I can
see almost to the business end of pole, but not quite.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA And I can see the circ,2mferential handrail, but I

can't see you.

CDR-EVA Okay.
 Day158 Page373

SPT-EVA I can see what you're doing. Now I can see your
hand. Now I can see the tool coming mY way.

CDR-EVA Direct the tool.

SPT-EVA Direct straight on - up a little - up a little to

clear that pipe. Okay, straight on.

CDR-EVA Okay, now I'll take care of the rope. Okay.

SPT-EVA We never did deploy that rope, did we?

CDR-EVA It's all right.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA It'll deploy.

CDR-EVA Okay?

16 17 44 SPT-EVA Okay. No, wait a minute. Come - swing that Dole

to your right. You're going to - above one of the
trusses. Oh, a little farther. Stop. Now straight
on out. Now swing it to your right a little more.
More, more, more, more. Now, stop_ straight on out.
Farther. Another 2 feet and I'll have it. In a
minute. Okay, I got the end of it.

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA And there's no rush from here, you can -

CDR-EVA Okay.

16 17 58 SPT-EVA Shall I keep on pulling it, or slack off?

CDR-EVA You go ahead and pull, and I'ii deploy the rope.

SPT-EVA All right. Tell me if and when to stop.

CDR-EVA Keep going.

SPT-EVA Quicker than a well-known Conrad commodity. I'm

going to pull off this last track here.

(DR-EVA Well, why don't you let me do it?

CDR-EVA Oh, okay.

SPT-EVA And that point will be behind me and beyond me in

a minute - -

CDR-EVA
Yes,okay. i

SPT-EVA - - and I won't be able to reach it.

CDR-EVA Take your time. We've got all day.

PLT All 55 minutes of it.

CDR-EVA Oh, well - -

SPT-EVA Unlike ... the ATM PIs, we don't - we don't go from

400 K, we go from the horizon. (Laughter)

16 19 05 PLT Pete, I'm going to pop down to the CSM to see what
I can see out that window.

CDR-EVA Okay. Joe? Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA I want to make sure the lines are straight, and un-
tangled. Can you verify that?

16 19 19 SPT-EVA Just a minute. That's a good point, and it's proba-

bly trying to start it.

CDR-EVA You got the pole; I don't.

SPT-EVA I got the pole.

CDR-EVA I've got one end of it. Where the lines, now?

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. That line is wrapped one time; it

needs to come this way. Now the lines are straight,
as far as me.

CDE-EVA See my left hand?

SPT-EVA That's a quite a bit of - quite a little bit of wrap

in it. Yes, I can see your left hand.

16 20 05 CDE-EVA Tell me which way to unwrap it.

Day158 Page
375

SPT-EVA Counterclockwise. Put your left hand, your side of

the pole, and then around the other side. In other
words, come to the right with it - no - -

CDR-EVA Around the pole?

SPT-EVA - -nope, nope, the other wsM, the other way.

CDR-EVA Is it around the pole?

SPT-EVA Yes, it is, one time.

CDR-EVA All right.

SFT-EVA That way. That's it.

CDR-EVA Okay.

16 20 25 SPT-EVA Once around.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA There. Now you're - now you're free and clear.

CDR-EVA Now, let me open the lines.

SPT-EVA Yes, I'm opening them as far as I can. I've got them
straight.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA See where they come together there?

CDR-EVA Yes. Yes.

16 20 36 SPT-EVA Pull it toward you from there, I'm holding it apart.

CDR-EVA I got it; I got it.

SPT-EVA Good, good, good. You're doing it.

PLT Hey, Pete.

CDR-EVA Yes?

PLT I can't see Joe at all out the command module window,
surprisingly. As a matter of fact, I'm looking right
down at your feet. I tell you what I'm going to do;

376 Day158

I'm going to bring the TV down here and see if we

can't get enough off that one little orange corner
to tell them what they have to know.

SPT-EVA The one in your right hand is the business one.

16 21 05 CDR-EVA Okay. l'm going to wrap it down here. That's all.

SPT-EVA Okay. Whatever.

CDR-EVA It's got no kinks in it, right?

SPT-EVA Zero kinks.

CDR-EVA Okay. Let me get this out of the way.

16 21 21 SPT-EVA As of today, right now, this minute. You know, l'm

sitting here looking at the SAS panel and not think-
ing- and, Paul?

PLT Yes?

SPT-EVA I'm looking right down the long axis of the SAS panel.
On my left, on the shady side, I see a bunch of little
wires coming out. On the top of the SAS panel, I see
the three vent modules, and they look essentially nor-
real launch configuration from here. And on the right
side of the SAS panel, on the top of the beam fair-
ing, very close to me and on the right-hand edge,
there's a - It's like there's a little door that's -
that's hinged open away from me.

CDR-EVA That's the hinge door.

PLT Right.

SPT-EVA It's there and it's wide open.

PLT Yes.

16 22 20 SPT-EVA I can't see - Oh yes, maybe that's the strap. It

looks more like a wire than a strap. Don't rotate
this thing now, or you'll get -

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA I'll get it over here.

Page
378 Day158

PLT Hey, Pete. Looky here.

SPT-EVA I'll tell you what I'm going to do right -

(Sign sound)
CDR-EVA What's that? What's that? I

16 2_ 32 SPT-EVA Sounded like rapid DELTA-P.

CDR-EVA What's that?

(Siren sound)

PLT Wait a minute !

(Siren sound)

PLT That's ANE fire - must have got sunlight in there.

SPT-EVA Oh, sure. That's something nobody thought of, isn't

it?

16 25 00 CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Eve_-ybody knew about it. At least I guess you - I'm

sure it is. I have the pole tethered to me, now.
That's what I was doing there.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Now I'm going to crawl down the A-frame. And if I

can - Oh, boy.

PLT Really gets your attention, doesn't it?

SFT-EYA Sure as heck does. It could - we could even hear

it out here; that was the scary part.

16 25 33 PLT Well, I was horrified.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT When I get scared, you guys might as well get seared.

SPT-EVA Why not?

CDR-EVA Yes, beck, I could hear it all the way out here.
All right ; now listen Joe, I may be able to help
youhere. _-_
 Day158 Page379

16 25 16 SPT-EVA Well, here, I'm going - I'm going to lock this pole
in right now and then we won't lose it. 0ops!
(Laughter) Stay here, baby.

SPT-EVA ... not lock these hooks, they do not stay put.
I All right, it's locked. Goodness gracious, that's
dramatic. I can see that thing; I think there's
going to be enough room for me to lock onto it, by
golly.

16 26 26 CDR-EVA Yes, it's sticking out, isn't it?

SPT-EVA Isn't it, though?

CDR-EVA I can see it, too.

16 26 30 SPT-EVA Let me kind of stand back here, and see if I can work
that way.

PLT It's sticking out on the side of the _ET?

SPT-EVA Yes, there is clearance.

CDR-EVA That's the way I remembered it .... there's a lot of

solar panels further down, though, isn't there?

SPT-EVA 0h, yes.

CDR-EVA You're in good shape there, Joe. Can you - can you
put your - pull your feet down?

SPT-EVA Hard to tell. No, I don't want to pull _ feet down

right now.

CDR-EVA ... Okay.

16 26 54 CC Skylab, Houston. We've got you for about 17 minutes

coming over the States.

PLT Let me tell them what's going on.

CDR-EVA Yes, let me direct you, Joe. You can pull the pole
back -

SPT-EVA I ean't pull it back sc_e, I think, however; you

know -
Page380 Day158

CDR-EVA We're out there -

SPT-EVA Wait a minute.

CDR-EVA That's a beautiful place to cut it, right? See?

SPT-EVA
Yes. I

CDR-EVA You're in the right area if you can get through those
wires - -

SPT-EVA (Sigh)

16 27 18 CDR-EVA - - Just take your time. Okay, Houston. We're out

there. We - have the debris in sight ; it looks like
enough room to get the cutters. And l'm trying to
help Joe stabilize. And, Joe, you're way past it,
it looks like. Try-

SPT-EVA I don't think I am.

CDR-EVA Yes, you are. Come - come towards me.

SPT-EVAl'mnotpastit.

CDR-EVA No, you've got - if you're going to hook it down there,

you are.

16 27 42 SPT-EVA Well, you know what I'm going to have to do then -

wait a minute. I might get enough out of it there.
See, I've got it tethered and that prevents me from
pulling it back too darn far.

CDR-EVA All right. You need to move the tether up.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute.

CDR-EVA You're still in front of it. I mean it's down

minus-X.

SPT-EVA It's - Yes, you're right.

CDR-EVA I'll tell you when you're on it.

16 28 0h PLT Houston, I'm going to try and get to the command

module with the TV so you can get a look at the sail.

CDR-EVA Joe ?

SPT-EVA Yes ?
i
PLT I 'm going.

CDR-EVA You're - you're battling the tether.

PLT Let that thing go.

SPT-EVA I know I am, I'm going to have to untether.

CDR-EVA - - have to come back in here - let's come back in

here, and take it easy, and let me help you. How's
that?

SPT-EVA I'm going to have to untether it, Pete.

16 28 34 CDR-EVA Now, that's my - tether's around my feet, right?

SPT-EVAYes.

CDR-EVA Let me turn around.

SPT-EVA Okay, now it's loose.

CDR-EVA Where's my tether? See it?

SPT-EVA Oh, cripes! It's all right. It goes in front of

your feet, but it goes straight back into the air-
lock. You're all right.

CDR-EVA Yes, let me see if I can help you. Now, Just ease
it over towards me. All right. Wait.

SPT-EVA Hey, don't -

CDR-EVA No, trouble is, I have to get it a different way.

All right, I got it off. It's the sole thing hold-
ing the pole. Now Just send it back towards me.
Can you do that?

16 29 24 SPT-EVA What - the pole?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA No, I don't want to do that, I don't think. Let's

- you Just - Why don't you help me - -

CDR-EVA No, no, Joe -

SPT-EVA - - while I have it on?

J
CDR-EVA Joe, you got to have it tethered, and I'll let it
slide out - it can slide out. It's not - -

SPT-EVA Tethered to what?

CDR-EVA The pole. Let me get it in front of the ropes.

SPT-EVA What are you going to tether the pole to? Oh,
yourself, h_h?

CDR-EVA No.

SPT-EVA Oh, the BET?

CDR-EVA I Just - no - darn it. I tell you what I want to do,

back -

SPT-EVA What is that tether you've got on that?

16 29 58 CDR-EVA That's the pole tether. Now Just sta_ with me a

minute; come back with the pole. I'll tell you what
we're going to do; we're going to get in the right
configuration -

SPT-EVA We were in the right configuration - -

CDR-EVA No, we weren't.

SPT-EVA - - Just a minute ago.

CDR-EVA That was too short. You couldn't slide your pole
back, see. Now the tether will go up as far on the
pole as you want it to. Can you retether it? You -
you follow me?

SPT-EVA Yes.

16 30 17 CDR-EVA I'll tether it for you ; hold still. Hold still.

If I can point - can you hold the pole?
 Day158 Page
383

SPT-EVA I've got the pole.

CDR-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Now, I'm going to hold onto the pole and translate
i to the tetherpoint. There. Okay.

SPT-EVA Be sure and lock it. It'll come apart in a second,

if you don't.

16 30 44 CDR-EVA It's locked.

SPT-EVA Okay. Locked.

CDR-EVA Let me get to my - I need to get back.

SPT-EVA Well.

CDR-EVA Push me back Just so I can get to the A-frame.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute.

CDR-EVA Okay. I'm on my way. That a boy!

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA Got it. Now you're in business. Okay?

SPT-EVA Okay. That might even help, I reluctantly have to

confes s.

CDR-EVA All right. Now Just turn the pole 90 degrees and
let her damp.

16 31 43 SPT-EVA I tell you, holding that on there is going to be a

chore. 0h, dang it. Wait a minute.

16 32 01 PLT See the corner of the sail, Houston?

MCC Say again, P. J.

PLT Can you see the corner of the sail, the orange corner?

MCC Stand by and see if we can psych it out. We do have

a good picture.

38h Day158 4

CDR-RVA Okay. Let me come back a little - no, you've got

to go forward. Oh, that's it; now come up.

CDR-EVA You take your time.

16 32 38 MCC Okay. We've got it, P. J.

SPT-EVA Can you hold with one foot? Yes, you - -

CDR-EVA Try it.

SPT-EVA Are you that stable?

CDR-EVA ...

S!Ff-EVA If you couldhold one foot, man, I could use both

hands on this thing.

CDR-EVA Wait.

SPT-EVA Whoo ! (Laught er)

CDR-EVA Let me hang on. All right,how's that?

SPT-EVA That's pretty good. Now, I'll get up out of the

rubble there. Wait a minute. Make that come for-
ward.

16 33 38 PLT Tell me if you got enough of the sail, Houston. I'ii

go back into the MDA.

MCC We got enough. Thank you very much.

16 33 h0 PLT Oh, okay.

SPT-EVA Okay. (Laughter)

CDR-EVA Tired?

SPT-EVA I'm not tired. I'm a little frustrated because I have

no place to secure myself here.

PLT Houston, I've got a suggestion.

16 3h 13 MCC Okay. We're reading you. Understand you're having

trouble in - in maintaining your position in order
to hook it onto the strap. Can you give us a little
more detail? We're hearing all of the conversation, _-_
but we haven't got a very good picture of it.
_- Day158 Page
385

CDR-EVA Let's Just cool it until we get done. We're working

the problem. Bunch of wires in the way. Gosh, that
prevented you from getting it that time.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA Trying to let it go, you know. That's it; you got
it right here. Pu]l back.

SPT-EVA Can you by any possible means -

CDR-EVA Ah - It came off.

SPT-EVA I know it, but can you get hold of this gray rope?

16 35 01 CDR-EVA Gray rope?

16 35 02 SPT-EV_ The one we marked.

16 35 03 CDR-EVA Oh. Yes.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute.

16 35 06 CDR-EVA I'm going to have to - Well, unfortunately, got my-

self tethered to the B_T - to the deal here at the
moment. Take a rest. Wait. Ready. I got the pole.

SPT-EVA You're pulling me around.

CDR-EVA I got the pole ... keep holding it.

CDR-EVA Take it easy.

SPT-EVA Okay, now. The thing is - listen how about unhooking

that rope back there - -

CDR-EVA Hey, how about -

i6 35 _3 SPT-EVA Could you unhook it from the - from the cleats? I want
you in a position to pull on the - the right rope
while I hold it in place. Because I - Yes, I can't
do both.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay?
Page
386 Day158

CDR-EVA Just a second.

SPT-EVA That would be the deal.

CDR-EVA Okay, I got the right rope.

SPT-EVA That's the one.

CDR-EVA Yes.

16 36 16 MCC Joe, Just for your information. We operated on the

opposite side of the discone from the one you're
operating from. That is, we operated from the
righthand side of the dlscone. That _ help you,
if you need more pole.

CDR-EVA It's not a question of pole -

16 36 27 SPT-EVA It's not a question - I've got more than enough pole,
Rusty. It's a question of keeping _ feet from
flying away so that I can not only reach the thing,
but hold it there.

MCC And the only thing I can say - that in the water tank
we stood up _]most parallel with the discone, with
our feet down by the base, and used the discone cone
as a handhold. That helped us; you might want to try
that.

SPT-EVA I'm doing that. It's not a handhold I need, Rusty, J

it's a foothold.
i
16 36 54 MCC We put our feet right at the base of the discone and 5
you only have to -

16 36 58 SPT-EVA That's where they are, Rusty. It's easy to get it to

touch, but it's impossible to get it to stay there.
Not impossible.

CDR-EVA Take it easy.

SPT-EVA Just takes a little longer. I ... see what I'm doing
without trying to fight the pole -

CDR-EVA I may speed things up, holding on to this rope right

at the moment.

SPT-EVA No, no, I don't think so. Whoops! (Laughter)

 Day158 Page
387

CDR-EVA I'm giving, you as much as I can give you.

SPT-EVA Yes.

16 37 36' CDR-EVA There, you're in good shape .... Just a little

bit, come back - -

SPT-EVA I think I'm on it.

CDR-EVA - - no. I can tell that you're in front of it.

You're still in front of it. Got to come towards
me. Now you're behind it. At an angle, see?

sPT-EVA Yes. Pull.

CDR-EVA No, you're in front of it. Now you're behind it,

still behind it. Get - That's the place to work,
but you're still behind it. If you Just come over
right there, you're behind it. Now, you're in
front of it again. Underneath it. You're still in
front of it. Yes, you've got to go back behind it
again.
iF

SPT-EVA How's that?

CDR-EVA No, pull towards me. No, you're not on it. Are
you?

SPT-EVA Well, it's a -

16 38 h0 CDR-EVA I tell you - when you think you're on, pull towards
me, and that ought to pull it right to the base.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA No, you're not on it yet.

SPT-EVA It's pretty thick, Rusty.

CDR-EVA That's the trouble. That's the trouble right there.

MCC Understand that. Is there any other debris you

can grab out there that's not as thick?

CDR-EVA That's the very thing he's working on? That's the
trouble. The darn Jaws aren't far enough open -

_ 16 39 08 SPT-EVA Try closing it, Rusy, right now. Wait a minute.

Hold it.
Page
388 Day158

CDR'EVA That do it?

SPT-EVA No. Mostly because it pulled off while we were

closing it.

CDR-EVA Okay.

16 39 29 MCC The only thing we can think of, Joe, is to make

sure that they're fully opened before you try to
get it over. That'll give you a maximum chance.

SPT-EVA Right. We're going to take it back right now and

reset it. Well, we might not have to take it back.
Let me pull on it and see if it'll reset.

CDR-EVA You got a piece of wire that time, anyhow. You were
• _ on it.

SPT'EVA Yes, i know it.

16 39 5Y PLT Watch that antenna, Joe.

CDR-EVA You're shaking that antenna pretty good, Joe.

SPT-EVA Yes, I am, sure I am.

CDR-EVA ... listen, I wonder if - if - Can we tell if it's

fully opened?

SPT-EVA It looked fully opened.

CDR-EVA Good.

SPT-EVA It sure does. Now.

CDR-EVA I - I still got the pull rope.

SPT-EVA Okay. Let's go back to work.

CDR-EVA Yes. Take your time.

16 40 40 PLT Okay, Joe. You won't get mad it I suggest that

you Just rest for a minute, will you?

SPT-EVA No.

PLT Why don't you?

 Day158 Page
389

SPT-EVA Oh, okay. Mostly because I'm in a position and I

don't want to - I tell you I'ii try it from the top
now. Let me see.

CDR-EVA You know the best chance you have is as close to

the base as the SAS panel, that's where it's the
narrowest.

SPT-EVA Is that right?

16 41 08 CDR-EVA But there's a wire bundle there. Yes, I got the

pole.

SPT-EVA Okay. Am I all right, now?

CDR-EVA Yes. The pole's over your arm.

SPT-EVA Okay. The way they said they were doing it.

16 _l 33 MCC Okay, Pete, Just for your information, you still

have plenty of time here to sunset. You got
29 minutes left.

CDR-EVA Yes, we 're - we 're not sweating anything. I tell

you, Rusty, the - the strap is - is oriented, in
the - in the worst ... Joe, wait, wait a minute,
stop. Give it a pull. The strap happens to be oriented
in such a manner, even though it's not wide, it's
presenting its widest side to the cutter.

CDR-EVA I can't see, Joe; although I'll try. You know, we

can change positions.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. If I could bear against anything,

I'd be all right.

16 h2 30 CDR-EVA I'm not in such bad shape, with this pole myself.
If - Now, I got a hand on that son-of-a-gun myself
to steady it. How's that? I can steady it - -

SPT-EVA My foot is damp.

CDR-EVA Left/right. Now, tell me where you want to go with

it.

SPT-EVA What?

- CDR-EVA You do the fore/aft, let me do the left/right. You

better steer me because I can't see.
Page
390 Day158 -

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. I got a little torque on my body

that's holding that from pulling the way it wants to.

CDR-EVA That may be me.

16 43 07 SPT-EVA No, it isn't you.

16 43 15 CDR-EVA I tell you, Rusty, it looks like if we ever get it

on the strap, we've got it made, because I can see
the rest of the meteoroid panel. And most of it's
underneath and looks relatively clear.

MCC Okay. If you can hook on anything at all, out

there -

CDR-EVA Yes, yes; it's not ... oriented to do that, and we

understand.

16 43 33 MCC And, for your information, we're about B0 seconds

from LOS and you've got 26-1/2 minutes of day left.
We're going to pick you up at Vanguard at 54. That'll
be after dark.

CDR-EVA Where you going, Joe?

SPT-EVA I can't stabilize myself on this thing. I Just can't

do it.

16 43 53 PLT You got to take a breather, Joe.

CDR-EVA Yes, rest. I tell you what, Joe. Where's your

umbilical with respect to mine? I see it.

SPT-EVA Where are we?

CDR-EVA Right - -

SPT-EVA Let me try straddling it, like this.

16 44 06 CDR-EVA Wait, we're getting umbilicals and everything else

all twisted up here.

SPT-EVA I think this may do it. Right here.

CDR-EVA Okay. You want the pole?

SPT-EVA No, I got the pole.

Day158 Page
391

CDR-EVA Okay. You want me to still pull? Want me to pull

the string?

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

16 44 22 CDR-EVA All right. Let me get in a position where I can do

that. I don't know.

16 hh h0 SPT-EVA That's not going to work.

CDR-EVA Okay. Cool it for a minute.

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA Yes. Where's my t_nbillcal?

CDR-EVA It's right here. I've got it.

SPT-EVA Should I go under the pole or over it, to get to

the other side?

CDR-EVA Which way do you want to go, left or right, huh?

SPT-EVA Yes, I want to go -

16 4h 55 CDR-EVA Wait a minute. You'll get all twisted up over me.

Go over the pole to the left - -

SPT-EVA Over the pole?

CDR-EVA - - to the A-frame, all right?

SPT-EVA I want to be right here.

16 h5 0h CDR-EVA All right. You're right there. Now, why why don't
you let me come up there and give it a try.

SPT-EVA Because I'm not tired right at the moment. But

what you're going have to do, is I'm going to take
this tether off _ arm and - right here. Let me
do that. Okay. That's done. Now, Joe.

SPT-EVA Yes?

CDR-EVA I want to stay - we're getting our umbilieals

twisted up so you go - stay to the left - -

SPT-EVA Well, yes. We're not supposed to be two of us

out here.
Page
392 Day158 -

CDR-EVA Go to the left and come back over here.

SPT-EVA Just a second, I'm doing something to - doing

personal tether here.

16 45 67 CDR-EVA The other thing is the rope is free; you better

get a hold of that rope. Now it's - it's in the
_imbilical line ; it 's okay.

SPT-EVA Try one thing here ; I've got a new wrinkle.

CDR-EVA All right. Now what's -

SPT-EVA Ah ha! That's it. Look, I doubled my tether and

I can bear against it.

CDR-EVA Okay. Now, the lines - You got to get the lines
back.

SPT-EVA All right.

16 46 B5 CDR-EVA Okay. Let me doom here where I belong. Hand me

up the line.

SPT-EVA Got it?

CDR-EVA Yes. Take the right one. I got the right one;
I take the knot out of it. Just a minute.

16 47 0B SPT-EVA Man, that's going to do it, I think. I hope.

CDR-EVA Got it. Now you got a free pole, and I got the line.

SPT-EVA Okay. Aaaah -

CDR-EVA Take your time.

16 47 35 SPT-EVA Yes. Get my foot right in there. Okay. It's my

right foot that's holding me, so I don't care where
the left one is.

CDR-EVA Oh, okay.

SPT-EVA That's much better.

CDR-EVA All right, you're out past the wires.

SPT-EVA All right, Just let me take it cool - -

SPT-EVA - - because I'm under control at the moment.

CDR-EVA Come back a little. Got to come back. Come back.

CDR-EVA No, it's not, Joe. I can see it perfectly.

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA Now, pull back.

SPT-EVA It's on it. It's on it.

CDR-EVA All right. Hold it!

SPT-EVA Pull gently, Pete, for gosh sakes !

CDR-EVA All right. You still on?

SPT-EVA Yes, I think so.

16 48 20 CDR-EVA Wait a minute; let me get the line again. Oh,

shoot; I fell free.

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA I am free. I got to get on - -

SPT-EVA Oh, you're free. Okay. Just a minute. Take your

time. It's easy for me to hold on.

CDR-EVA All right. Just a minute I got to go back down.

SPT-EVA Everything's under control.

CDR-EVA Wait Just a minute. More?

SPT-EVA Pull as much as you think prudent, but it's " it's
on now.

CDR-EVA
Okay.

SPT-EVA If you pull much more, you're going to cut the son-
of-a-gun.

CDR-EVA Okay, hang on. There it is.

16 48 59 SPT-EVA It's on.

CDR-EVA Okay. Now, come on back down here.

SPT-EVA Oh, how about that? Okay.

SPT-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Well, let me see.

16 49 24 CDR-EVA You got to - you got to tighten it from the top.

SPT-EVA Yes, "I was looking for the right number and this is
it. Oops! (Laughter) Help! Tight as it's going
to get.

CDR-EVA That's good enough. You can hold it -

SPT-EVA It's not. I'll tell you what. Let's reposition

that thing back where it was, and that'll put a strain
on it, if you understand what I mean.

CDR-EVA No, it won't. It's Just liable to fly up, unless you
hold it down.

16 49 53 SPT-EVA Well, I'll hold it down ar4vway, Pete. To heck with

it. Okay. We'll leave it where it is.

CDR-EVA Now, what you want to do is - can you stand right here
and tie the lines? That's it. Okay, you better
tie both of them tight. Take the slack out of the
other one. All right, let me get my tether working
here. Where'dit go? Thereit is.

first.

CDR-EVA Plus, I've got a tether problem and an tmbilical

CDR-EVA All right.

PLT Yes, I think, as long as you're hooked onto it.

Why didn't they want us to Just cut it, now?

CDR-EVA Because it won't come up -

SPT-EVA They're afraid it won't come up.

CDR-EVA I got to get that other thing on it.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA We're in the right place to cut it; I don't believe

we have to move it.

SPT-EVA I don't think so either. You can verify that when

you go down there, but -

no, actually you got to get them behind it. There you
go '

SPT-EVA Now, it's beautiful.

16 53 12 CDR-EVA All right. Now, where's your umbilical?

SPT-EVA MY _nbilical is - goes straight down, then takes

one loop through yours, if you see what I mean.
So you move under there a little bit.

CDR-EVA I have to go under here?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA But I'm tethered now.

16 53 28 SPT-EVA All right. That's all right. Don't go under there

too far.

CDR-EVA Oh, you want me to do this?

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. I want to get hold of my umbilical - -

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Raise up your left side so I can get it - Slip

it under your SOP, you're not raising up! That's it.

CDR-EVA Okay?

16 53 _8 SPT-EVA Oh, dang it. No. Not okay. There, now.

CDR-EVA Look now - now, I want you to get back. If I go

out, where's m_ _nbilical with respect to yours?

SPT-EVA Inside of it, right where it ought to be.

CDR-EVA All right. So I can go under, right?

SPT-EVA Yes, sir.

PLT Hey, Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes, Paul.

PLT Joe, your tmbilical goes between your legs and - -

It sounds like you got it hooked on somewhere.

CDR-EVA Yes, we do. And, now all w.e're trying to is straighten

out the umbilicalmess before I go out.

MCC Okay.

CDR-EVA I don't believe we'll have to move the cutter. We've

got it in about the thinnest spot. All right, you
ready?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA All right. Now I got to go - Let me get

oriented on this pole right. I got to go here.

SPT-EVA Yes, because you want to go with your feet out that
way, don't you?

CDR-EVA Yes, and I want you to grab a hold of the pole now,
to stabilize it.

SPT-EVA All right.

And you may have to tip my -

PLT Roger, Rusty.

SPT-EVA Oh, boy' Wait a minute. However you fastened this

rope, it sure is in there tight.

CDR-EVA That's all right. Just let it come out.

CDR-EVA Let it come over the end first. Let it come over the
end. Don't pull it all loose. Over the end. That's

CDR-EVA Well -

CDR-EVA But, I don't-

CDR-EVA Huh?

SPT-EVA It must go under.

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Or we never could've gotten it in that box in the

first place, right?

CDR-EVA Yes.

16 56 46 CDR-EVA All right, now. Am I free?

SPT-EVA All right. Now -

CDR-EVA My umbilical's still on there. Wait a minute.

CDR-EVA It 's under the pole.

SPT-EVAYes.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Now you got it. Now go.

CDR-EVA All right. Bye.

SPT-EVA Okay. Your umbilical is in front of you; it's looking

good. Just take it easy.

16 57 09 PLT Hello, Houston. You there?

16 57 l0 MCC Yes, sir. We got you for another 2-1/2 minutes.

CDR-EVA All right. Where is the BET, Joe? Yes. It's ...
That's what I was afraid of.

SPT-EVA Hold it. The whole BET's here, isn't it?

CDR-EVA Right.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Stay put.

Page402 Day158

16 57 33 Mcc Okay. We got you for 2 minutes and then we're going
to have about an hour dropout before we pick you up
again at Goldstone. That'll be at 18:03.

SPT-EVA Okay.

16 57 45 MCC And you have about 13 minutes of daylight left. And

no big sweat.

PLT Okay. Yes, I'm watching it on the DAS, on the day/

night thing, Rusty.

16 57 55 MCC Okay, fine. Paul, if you want cooling, we recommend

you just disconnect from the cluge [?] box and put
your water in SUS 2.

CDR-EVA Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Umbilical is holding me up.

SPT-EVA It is, huh?

16 58 07 CDR-EVA I don't have any umbilical.

SPT-EVA All right. Stand by.

CDR-EVA I've got it. Never mind.

PLT It won't reach, Rusty. This umbilical is flat not

long enough to reach.

MCC Okay, we're saying disconnect your comm from the

cluge [71 box if you're on the lightweight.

SPT-EVA No, it's still coming.

16 58 hl PLT Here you go, Pete. A little music to skid you down
the pole by.

CDR I'm at the end of it already.

SPT-EVA (Music) Good music.

CDR-EVA Darn it !

MCC Which side of the discone you got your umbilical?

_ Day158 Page
203

sPT-EVA On the right side facing aft, the side close to the -
to the SAS panel.

16 59 08 MCC Okay, your umbilical is long enough. It's probably

snagging somewhere. Joe, you might want to take a
look at it ...

16 59 13 PLT I think it's all right, Rusty .... He's down there.
I see it got hung up, but it's all right.

MCC Thank you.

SPT-EVA I Just cut it with my trusty Boy Scout knife.

MCC We're going to disregard that one.

SPT-EVA Yes, please do. Pete, are you going to attach the
other thing first?

CDR-EVA Oh, for goodness sake. Well, the trouble is - I don't

know how I did it, but I got this darn thing in the
wrong place. I got to get this BET thing under my
umbilical.

PLT Under your umbilical?

CDR-EVA Heck, yes.

PLT Oh, all right. I guess I'd better come out and help
you.

16 59 55 CDR-EVA No, no, don't you move; two of us out here is plenty.

17 00 08 SPT-EVA I do have my handy shroud cutter in case we do get

into a bind. So don't sweat it.

CDR-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA I got this thing, I think, organized here.

SPT-EVA Good.

CDR-EVA To where, if I come back here and quit chasing my um-

bilical and catch up with it once, I got it. Right
now. Got it. The BET is in good shape.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA The question is getting the stuff-hooked up.

CDR-EVA Are you ready to take in tension on the BET?

Page 404 Day 158

SPT-EVA Good question. I'd better get ready to, hadn't I?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Yes, I am.

CDR-EVA All right. Just a minute.

CDR-EVA Gosh darn it.

PLT You still read me, Joe?

SPT-EVA Oh, yes.

PLT I haven't heard from Pete in a while.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes, he's working silently out there.

PLT Hey, how about a pump on your - how you guys doing on
t emperat ure?

SPT-EVA Okay. I'_a little on the warm side, but I haven't

moved out a ...

PLT Okay, I'm going to draw on your loop. If you start

getting warm, holler an I'll get off it.

SPT-EVA Sure will.

i? 02 57 CDE-EVA You got - you got a little tension on that thing?

SPT-EVA I'll put some on if you want.

CDR-EVA Yes, put a little on it because I'm going to hook up

for a minute.

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA Don 't pull too much.

CDR-EVA Now I can't do that either. Never mind.

PLT You got a place out there where you can hook?

CDR-EVA Well, I'm going to try.

CDR-EVA Gosh darn it. I Just missed by a smidgen. It's a

difficult angle for me, you see?
 Day158 Page405

PLT We got 6 minutes until sunset.

SPT-EVA Understand.

CDR-EVA Well, _ if I could Just get it, I got it made. I'm not
worried. I could spend the night here.

PLT I don't know if I'd recommend that. It gets awful

dark out there.

CDR-EVA Well, I understand.

PLT You don't have any light shining on you out there.

CDR-EVA Gosh, almost had it.

SPT-EVA N o.

17 04 41 CDR-EVA All right, you got to put Just a little tension on it.

SPT-EVA Here it comes, Just a little tension.

CDR-EVA A little more. That's good right there. Doggone it.

_ Well, I tell you what. I'm going to come back in the
BET.

SPT-EVA Good.

CDR-EVA And we're going to spend the night. Okay, hang on to

it. Don't - not too tight.

SPT-EVA You're coming in the BET.

CDR-EVA Let me get over to the pole.

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA Now, where's m_ t_bilical?

17 05 43 SPT-EVA Ol_ay. Push yourself the other way, if you can.

There, you're going to contact the bolt back that way;
that a boy. That way you and your umbilical and all
will stay square with respect to the pole and beauti-
ful shape -

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA And perfect shape. Come zinging on over the top ; you
_ can grab my arm if you can see it. Okay, that's fine.
Page406 Day158

CDR-EVA Let me come down in here and ... I think I can get
it next pass.

SPT-EVA I think we can probably pull it with one hook in it,

if we couldn't get two.

CDR-EVA Well, yes.

SPT-EVA We've got one hook in it right now.

SPT-EVA I'm tempted to take up tension on that beauty. Can

you manage it while I hold tension to wrap another
couple turns ?

CDR-EVA Wait a minute.

SPT-EVA I'll wait here.

CDR-EVA What do you want?

SPT-EVA Go down ...

CDR-EVA Now what do you want?

SPT-EVA Take a couple of turns on the point while I hold ten-

sion on the rope, if you can. You got a lot of excess,
as you can see. One more turn on the high side ought
to hold it.

17 06 58 CDR-EVA Okay, now I don't - I don't - let's do it this way.

I don't want to pull it too tight right now, or I'll
never get the other line back to the -

SPT-EVA I know, but it's easy to take this off. I think it'll
be more secure out there through the night if we hook
it on - like that's - It's perfect.

CDR-EVA That's good.

SPT-EVA That's perfect. Well, we're getting somewhere, chief.

CDR-EVA All right, where's my umbilical?

SPT-EVA Your umbilical, I see, is this beauty right here.

CDR-EVA I see it, I'm watching it through the view thing.

 Day158 Page
_07

SPT-EVA It's all right ; it makes a big loop out there, but
that doesn't hurt anything. Do you want to go out
that side? And l'd have to tend mine a little bit for
yoll.

CDR-EVA You want me to go inside?

SPY-EVA No, not necessarily. Let me assume mY nice, com-

fortable position if I can.

CDR-EVA Watch it. There's an s_ful lot of Jagged stuff up

there. Where are you going?

SPT-EVA Down under here.

CDR-EVA 0kay. Easy, easy.

SPT-EVA There.

CDR-EVA You' re tethered still, you know.

17 08 01 SPT-EVA I know I am. And that's fine. This way, l've got
something to hang on to in front of me. I can relax
r andcoolit.

CDR-EVA All right. I'm not tethered.

SPT-EVA You' re not, are you?

CDR-EVA No. I Just tethered to the pole on the way up.

SPY-EVA That's right. Have you got a tether?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Why don't you slip your tether over mY tether?

CDR-EVA I don't want to deploy it. It's all wrapped up.

SPT-EVA I was thinking of your little rip tether.

CDR-EVA Oh, I could do that.

SPT-EVA Your little, right rip tether, in fact, I can do that

for you.

PLT Oh, yes.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT Okay. We're in good shape -

CDR-EVA Let me tell you what I saw out there.

PLT ... status reports from you all day.

CDR-EVA It, in fact, did have the long end of the bolt dug in.

SPT-EVA Did it?

CDR-EVA But it only looks like the very tip one is the one
that's holding the panel; the rest of them maY be.

SPT-EVA Well, did it look like the strap was in there right
undera lot of tension?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Do you think we got a chance that it'll go when we

cut it?

CDR-EVA I think so. I'll - Get this stack rigged right.

SPT-EVA Will the cutter -

CDR-EVA Our problem is - My problem with rigging the other

one is angle.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA I - I cannot get my hand at the right angle. There's

little - There's Just the two little tiny holes that
Just barely makes it in there.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA The first one was a piece of cake and I thought I had
it made.
 Day158 P_ge_0_

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA What I have to do is get on the upwind side of this

thing, and I - I was not tethered to the poles, you
see, and I Just didn't want to get hung around or I'd
a floated clean off the ...

SPT-EVA Yes, I 'm amazed that you did as well as you did. You
kept your body down darn well and that to me was ...
problem.

CDR-EVA I ... by an eighth of an inch or so. Goldarn.

Frustrating, you know?

SPT-EVA Does it need a longer reach?

CDR-EVA No, it's the angle - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA - - and I - From where I am, I've got to get my

body further over the thing, see.

_- SPT-EVA Okay. Did it - did it look as if the cutters were

well positioned?

CDR-EVA Yes. I didn't really smoke that over too good.

SPT -EVA Ok ay.

CDR-EVA I'm going - I'm going to do that.

SPT-EVA My bright Sun.

SPT-EVA That's a good sunset. It's right behind you. Sunset

through the solar panels. You see sunrise through

CDR-EVA Yes, one-half of it.

PLT Oh, you don't have us both ends _ z

SPT-EVA The aft - aft hook and one of the two forward hooks
is in. And there's tension in it. He wants to get
the other forward hook in but we could always give
it a try with - with it the way it is, Paul.

PLT I was going to say, if you're going to pull something,

you go ahead and dump the darn thing.

SPT-EVA I know it.

CDR-EVA Got plenty of time. I don't care if we stay out

here three revs.

SPT-EVA I don't either, three daysides.

PLT That darn thing is - was ... out. He should have ...
when we came up.

17 12 lh SPT-EVA I guess they don't think it'll come out because of

the frozen whatehamaeallit.

PLT Yes, you know, while we were in Huntsville, Joe, they

changed their story three times over whether that
thing was frozen or not.

SPT-EVA True.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT (Music) You want to hear it, or not?

you are, at the moment. La-dee-da-dee-da. (Music)
The bright one that's Just up off the horizon there?
I don't think you could see him.

CDR-EVA No. I'm - I'm looking the other way.

SPT-EVA Where? This way. Oh, yes.

CDR-EVA Back up over your right ...

the Speakers on - You're going to get five-speaker
stereo.

SPT-EVA In my night's adaptation. Wow!

CDR-EVA Quite a Milky Way, isn't it?

SPT-EVA That Milky Way stands out three dimensions, doesn't

it? Does to me, I can see it as sort of a - -

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA - - milky - That music goes with the view, I'll tell
you.

SC (Music: "2001 Space 0dyssey")

CDR-EVA No. There 's Bruce -

SPT-EVA Achernar is back the other way. It is over your left

f shoulder. It is Achernar.

SPT-EVA ... go again.

CDR-EVA It might be.

SPT-EVA No, farther around. There's another bright one; it's

too far behind you to see. It's ... that way.

CDR-EVA Oh. Well, what's the one up ..., Canopus?

SPT-EVA Canopus, that's it. Canopus.

PLT Can you guys hear me all right?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Yes, sir. But shut up, you're interrupting the music.

CDR-EVA When do we get Houston again?

SPT-EVA In an hour - sometime.

CDR-EVA Huh?
Pagehl_ Day158

SPT-EVA I think it'll be day again in Houston.

PLT Yes, about _0 minutes ...?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Yes, sir.

PLT Hey, Joe.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT We got about 0.3 psi over ... now. Still can't get
any ... so you had better be careful when you exercise.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT You don't just pop the hatch open ...

SPT-EVA Right-o.

17 22 09 CDR-EVA No, we're going to get some of it back by filling

the locks.

PLT Yes.

SPT-EVA That's true.

PLT Yes....

SC (Music : "Somewhere MY Love" )

CDR-EVA What I got to do, transfer my TCCA to the ...

SPT-EVA You and me both.

PLT ...

CDR-EVA Wel I , whoever.

SPT-EVA We can do our own this time, Paul. Ain't no rush.

PLT ...

SPT-EVA Right.

PLT ... procedure.

SC (Music: "Somewhere MY Love" )

CDR-EVA Hey, Paul?

 Day158 Page415

PLT Yes.

CDR-EVA What are the three pieces of material, two soft

and one hard in the middle?

PLT Bay again?

CDR-EVA What is the strap, two hards and a soft, or two softs
and a hard?

PLT The double strength in the middle and on the edge

which is insignificant to ...

SC (Music)

CDR-EVA It's three pieces as I see it. Not recognizable as

though it were strong because it - it looks like it's
Just one edge. You know? It looks like it's one
edge with the bolts in it, whatever that would be.
What would the part be that had the bolts in it? That
would be the middle where the two panels are bolted
together. Right?

_ PLT Yes, the bolts would be angled. The angle is bolted

to the meteoroid shield just as the two angles are
bolted together.

CDR-EVA But what I'm trying to tell you is that none of the
angle part is left. In other words, it broke off
right at the intersection of the angles on both sides
and what you have is a strip of the center. You have
the perpendicular part, and that's it.

PLT That's all, huh? That ought to be fairly soft.

CDR-EVA The part with the bolts in it, between three pieces.
0ne-half of an angle side, one-half of angle side,
and a doubler. Right?

PLT ...

CDR-EVA I can't hear you.

PLT I say, are you asking me or telling me?

CDR-EVA Asking you.

17 25 59 PLT You've got two angles, back to back with a doubler

in the middle.
Page
416 Day158

CDR-EVA Yes, and the back to back is bolted?

PLT They're bolted. You've got to bolt through on both

angles and a doubler.

CDR-EVA Okay, now. What we have is a strip that has bolts

through it, but that's all it is, it's a strip.
Where you going, Joe?

$PT-EVA I'm going to look at these stars.

CDR-EVA Oh. So the part - How does the angle fasten on the
meteoroid shield?

PLT It's bolted to it.

CDR-EVA Bolted to the shield and -

PLT It's got three rows of bolts.

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT Three parallel rows -

CDR-EVA All right. What I don't know is whether we have a

flange with meteoroid shields, or what.

17 26 51 PLT Yes.

(Music)

17 27 03 SPT-EVA Look, there's a meteor, I think.

17 27 08 SPT-EVA And it's breaking.

PLT Yes.

17 27 29 CDR-EVA What have we got, 20 minutes? Huh?

PLT Twenty. 18:19.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT You want to talk for a couple of minutes about what

you are going to do now, or are you going to ...?
 Day158 Page
417

CDR-EVA I - here's - -

PLT Let's Just talk, anyway.

CDR-EVA Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take

my wrist tether and hook up to the pole, except this
time I'm going to hook up, and I'm going to go out
the other way. I'm going to go out right-handed
first.

SPT-EVA Are you?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay. I see your point, yes.

CDR-EVA And I - I 8m in a better position to work with m_

right or left hand to get that other BET hook in.

SPT-EVA Yes, how about those openings and those ... in the
bottom end there, huh?

CDR-EVA No, they aren't. They're little teeny-tiny things.

f That'swhat'sgivingme a fit.

SPT-EVA Oh.

CDR-EVA I got the one in, but the other one is, you know,
it's one of these deals - If you walked up with your
hands you could slip it in in 2 seconds, right?

SPT-EVA Yes.

17 28 34 CDR-EVA But it's the angle, and I can't screw my arm - glove -
some dumb thing, and hold on with another hand and
drive this whole suit to get the right darn angle to
stick it in that hole.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA And it gets extremely frustrating, as you well know.

SPT-EVA Well, why don't you give that about l0 minutes?

CDR-EVA I'm not going to waste a lot of time on it.

SPT-EVA If it proves unsuccessful, let's go ahead and cut

that baby.

m
Pagehl8 Day158

CDR'EVA Then what I'm going to do is - I'm going to look at -

at the - -

SPT-EVA Strap.

CDR-EVA - - at the strap, and see if you've really got it in

the best place to cut it.

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA I'll wait while you cut it.

PLT Now, wait. First, you're supposed to transfer your

tether from the cutter to the BET.

CDR-EVA Oh, yes. I'll do that.

17 29 29 PLT Okay, and then before he cuts it, you're supposed

to move back to the hinge.

CDR-EVA I thought I was supposed to hold the head while I

cut it.

SPT-EVA No, Just while I set it. If we need to move it - I

hope we don't.

CDR-EVA I don't think we do.

PLT Because you've got to get back to the hinge and get
ready to stand up.

SPT-EVA Right.

CDR-EVA Yes.

17 29 47 PLT And, Joe, you can describe that maneuver to me at

dinner when you watch him do it.

SPT-EVA (Laughter)

17 30 22 CDR-EVA You may have to take more slack out of this BET, you
know.

SPT-EVA But that wasn't in my Job description. Back in the

hatch.

PLT Okay. Now when you - when he gets it on, you trans-
fer your tether and check where the Jaws [?] is. When
it's in position, then you move back beyond the hinge
line.
Day158 Page
419

CDR-EVA Understand.

PLT Okay?

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT Joe takes any slack you may have out of your LSU; and
you go ahead and cut through it, if you can, Joe.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT Then you get the pole, so it's not in the arc of the
wing, and that's when you do your Hercules bit, Pete.

CDR-EVA Yes.

17 30 40 SPT-EVA All right, Pete, that means that when it's all set
and before I cut it, I'm going to leave my station,
and move over to behind where you are now and pn]]
your LSU down.

17 30 52 CDR-EVA Let me ask you a question, Joe. Could you see the
beam move at all while I was messing around out there?

SPT-EVA No. I couldn't.

CDR-EVA Well, looking at that strap, it looks like the beam's

under a fair amount of tension - that strap.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh. Well, glory be, if it would come up, it would

be the most beautiful sight in the world.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA ... so.

17 31 20 PLT Fifteen minutes.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Fifteen - did he say?

SPT-EVA Fifteen, he said. It takes forever, don't it?

CDR-EVA Yes.

17 31 59 CDR-EVA The other thing I want a look at is this other side

of the panel. I think I can reach under there and
hang on, maybe. I just want to make sure.

SPT-EVA Oh, boy, Pete. If there is anything like the amount of

Jaggedness that there is under this side - It always
is something.
Page
420 Day158

CDR-EVA This is the piano hinge side, see.

SPT-EVA Yes.

PLT Butterfly hinge, darn it.

CDR-EVA Butterfly hinge, what did I say?

PLT You say piano hinge, bango hinge ... like ... tennis.

CDR-EVA (Laughter)

SPT-EVA A little lightning.

CDB-EVA Yes? You begin to pick up the air -

SPT-EVA There's some more. Oh, more - a lot. I wonder what -

wonder what - Do you have any idea what part of the
world we're over, Pete?

CDR-EVA We're coming from Australia on up over the Pacific,

towards Goldstone.

SPT-EVA
Yes.

17 33 O0 CDR-EVA So could be we've passed over that hurricane or

something ...

PLT No, we've got to be -

SPT-EVA No, I don't think we're there yet.

PLT We keep sending over the States. We must be in the

northern Pacific.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

17 33 13 CDR-EVA Yes, I saw some lightning.

CDR-EVA Hey, P. J., is this thing doing a normal momentum

dump, now?

PLT Yes ....

SPT-EVA Very gentle, isn't it?

PLT ... is 0.002.

CDR-EVA ...

SPT-EVA (Music) Doesn't it?

CDR-EVA Lights up the bottc_ of the stick.

Day158 Page
421

SPT-EVA Magnitude. Did you call, Paul?

17 33 56 PLT I say the highest rate is 0.002.

SPT-EVA Oooh. We're hanging on.

PLT You hang in there, and see if you can tell

when I go to ATT HOLD.

SPT-EVA I'm getting my emergency rope out. I'm lashing

Captain Conrad to the main mast.

CDR-EVA Gee, I wonder what we're over. There's a whole bunch

of fires and everything down there.

SPT-EVA All right.

PLT Well, let - let me call up ... Is that working, Joe?

Hey, Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes ?

PLT Has that line - land and time sense display been
working ?

SPT-EVA Yes, quite well.

PLT Okay. We'll Just have to know when they update it.

SPT-EVA It's wrong for one rev after they update it, and
they update it in the morning.

CDR-EVA We're passing over something with a lot of -

17 3_ 56 CDR-EVA I'm almost getting cold, but I don't want to change

my cooling.

SPT-EVA I changed my cooling all the way down.

CDR-EVA Did you?

PLT We Just crossed the Equator, gang, if this thing

is right.

SPT-EVA Yea! I 'm no longer a mugwump.

PLT Did that count minutes and seconds, Joe?

Page _22 Day 158

SPT-EVA Yes. Well, it's Just to 1 minute right now.

PLT [In-huh.

CDR-EVA Now, we're passing over a lot of it -

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA It could be islands, but they're well lit,

whatever they are.

SPT-EVA What's our longitude?

PLT Just a minute ...

SPT-EVA (Laughter) Hope you're making the coffee in there.

Oh, there's Just ripples and ripples of it out there.

CDR-EVA What, lightning?

SPT-EVA Yes.

17 35 36 CDR-EVA What's the cross longitude, west?

SPT-EVA East.

CDR-EVA Meant east. Just because I said west, you should have
known what I meant.

PLT ..•

CDR-EVA What the heck is that?

SPT-EVA Possibly a caution of some type.

PLT ... we've ... two gyros, if you can believe that.

CDR-EVA What? Can't hear you.

PLT Wait a minute. We're single gyro in two axes.

17 36 35 PLT No, the switches weren't set up right. We're

single gyro in Z.

SPT-EVA Are we really?

PLT Yes. Yes.

SPT-EVA The readingsare still good, though.

PLT Yes. It's on 2, ... is the good one, right? Joe?

 Day158 Page
423

SPT-EVA Sir?

PLT I say Z-Delta is a good gyro, right?

SPT-EVA B-2?

PLT Zebra; Delta Zebra.

CDR-EVA Yes. That's a good gyro.

SPT-EVA Yes, it's been a good one.

PLT Okay, I'm putting one on.

CDR-EVA It's 1 that's been fouling up, except I thought we

went to - did we go to 2/3 last night?

SPT-EVA No, I don't think so.

SPT-EVA Well, they didn't say. They said they were spinning
up 3, and wanted to look at it for a while, and we
were in 1/2 when we went to bed.

F PLT Well, see, what surprised me is that Y is now in 1/2.

SPT-EVA Crazy.

PLT Y-I was the first gyro to go bad, before we ever

launched. Probably the best of the lot. Yes.

CDR-EVA Look at that flash of light.

PLT Okay, . .. we come across Matsu and the big islands

of the Philippines, Luzon. We're going to go by
Japan, right down the ascending pass, down the
east coast - up the east coast of Japan.

SPT-EVA Oh.

17 38 l0 PLT Letrs see, we're 4 minutes now, l, 2, 3, 4. We're

coming up on the Philippines now.

SPT-EVA Yes. The reason we haven't seen this pass before is,
it's at night.

PLT Yes.

CDR-EVA How long until daylight?

Page_2_ Day158

PLT Aw, question_, questions. What's that? What's that?

How long until daylight? Eight minutes. Are we
_Imost there, Dad?

PLT I suppose you have got to go to the bathroom, too.

CDR-EVA Already did.

SPT-EVA We're already into the bathroom (laughter). Very

convenient.

17 39 l0 PLT Do you read me on this mike?

CDR-EVA Loud and clear.

PLT Great. I got more darn cords, cables, crud around

in here.

CDR-EVA It'll take us a whole day, day and a half to clean

up, another dsy to get organized.

CDR-EVA I tell you, Joe, you were really using the old
head-a-rooney there, doubling up your tether.

SPT-EVA Listen, without that I never would have made it.

The BET would flip every time I exerted any torque.

CDR-EVA Oh, yes, you were one-arm - -

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA - - flailing.

17 39 57 SPT-EVA Yes, I was bad - was bad. We should have thought of

it before. And it's a little lesson that a foot
crotch cutter, which is essentially what I had - -

CDR-EVA That's right, well - -

SPT-EVA It's a useful device in that situation - -

CDR-EVA - - that's why I asked you, you know, because it

looked to me like that would have been an ideal way
to get up here. We could have gone ahead and rigged
that thing so it could have been a crotch tether.
We could have done it real easy.

SPT-EVA We could have done it, yes. You should have done it
beforehand. Well, I was lucky, it was the right
length when doubled.
Day158 Page425

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA It was just perfect.

CDR-EVA When I disconnect from the pole tether, Joe -

PLT Yes.

17 40 55 CDR-EVA I will have my other tether on the BET and I will

disconnect at my wrist so that the long tether
stays with the pole. We'll get - -

SPT-EVA You'll have your other tether on the BET?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Your wrist tether?

CDR-EVA My wrist tether on the BET.

SPT-EVA Okay.

17 41 20 CDR-EVA Sounds loud and clear down there.

CDR-EVA P. J., you got your maps - orbital maps up there?

PLT Yes.

SPT-EVA I almost can't see the ground anymore.

CDR-EVA Well, that's good. That means we're coming out

daylight pass. Where do we cross the States?
We got a long stateside pass, again?

PLT Got my hands full of tape!

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Turn this way a little so I can see sunrise.

Out of China, cross the hay, kind of. Upside down, but
that's all right.

17 h2 l0 SPT-EVA It's starting to get blu e .

CDR-EVA Good show.

Page426 Day158

PLT We had kind of a long pass. We go - kind of right

down the length of California. We're descending
down the west coast and down along the west coast of
Mexico. We got Goldstone intersection.

CDR-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA You can see you're not. How about untethering me

from your tether?

SPT-EVA It's getting bright blue. I can't see quite enough

yet.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA I don't think.

CDR-EVA No.

PLT Three minutes.

SPT-EVA Bright, bright blue.

SPT-EVA Gold.

PLT Gold.

CDR-EVA More counts.

17 44 03 SPT-EVA Very bright, starting to tinge with gold. Let me

see if I can connect your tether.

CDR-EVA Okay, here it is. Why don't you Just leave it free
when you unhook it?

SPT-EVA Don't you want to hack on your - Whoops'

CDR-EVA No, I want to make it easy to get - get loose from ...

SPT-EVA Well, I want to - Certainly we'll leave it nn]ocked,

but -

CDR-EVA Well, we'll unhook it on the way.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Think of it.

/_ Day 158 Page h27

SPT-EVA See where that line is. Whoops' (Laughter) You

rang very well.

CDR-EVA It's right there.

SPT-EVA I know where it is.

17 44 42 CDR-EVA No, you - Now you've got it in my arm ring.

SPT-EVA No, I don't.

CDR-EVA Yes, yes. That's my arm ring. I don't

want it in that one.

SPT-EVA Oh, you don't. What do you want it in? Oh, you
want it in that ring.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Oh, it was the arm ring I was going for. Sorry.

PLT You still see the ground?

SPT-EVAYes.

PLT We ought to he going up the east coast of Japan.

SPT-EVA Go.

17 45 08 CDR-EVA Okay, now, I've got to get over here. Weighted

down by the weight of it. Now, what have I got?

Free of your tether.

SPT-EVA Yes. You're in good shape. When you go up - -

CDR-EVA Now -

SPT-EVA - - you'll be free and clear of everything.

CDR-EVA Do me a favor?

SPT-EVA Yes, sir.

17 45 28 CDR-EVA Pull the one on my left arm free.

SPT-EVA I'll try, I'll try. I'll surely try.

_ge 428 Day158

CDR-EVA Give her a rip.

SPT-EVA On the hook end, huh?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Did it go?

i

CDR-EVA
Ripped
off...

SPT-EVA Tape.

SPT-EVA I shouldn't have thrown that through the ATM.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Now is it unlocked?

SPT-EVA Goldarn hooks are ... No, it's not. I think you've
got it taped.

CDR-EVA I don't want it.

17 46 06 SPT-EVA There is a big piece of tape right over the lock.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Now it 's unlocked.

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Take that in this hand and around. Now you tend
to that. Let me find the pole.

17 46 23 PLT I looked out the window and what is the first

thing I see glinting in the morning Sun?

SPT-EVA What ?

PLT A piece of gray tape. (Laughter)

CDR-EVA Now, Joe, look at my umbilical. It's under my feet,

right?
s Day158 Page429

SPT-EVA Well, yes. It's not under your feet. Maybe it

would be better if it were.

CDR-EVA Well, I 'm for that. Okay.

SPT-EVA Other foot, there we go. Yes, that's fine, it'll

trail behind you then.

17 47 04 SPT-EVA l'm holding your foot.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Not very hard.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA But l'm holding it.

CDR-EVA All right. I'm tethered to the pole, and I'm on m_

way.

SPT-EVA All right. You're also on your own.

CDR-EVA Gosh. Come on. Every one of these is backed off.

SPT-EVA Is that right?

CDR-EVA Yes. That's bright.

17 47 54 SPT-EVA Yes, watch it. Come to think of it, here comes my

outer visor down.

CDR-EVA It's gone ... down, I think. Yes.

SPT-EVA Beautiful sunrise. Goldaug' Okay.

CDR-EVA Have you got a good hold on the BET?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Oh, no!

17 48 56 SPT-EVA What?

CDR-EVA Ha! I - You know, it's these things that you don't
practice.

SPT-EVA 0h, I know.

Page430 Day158

CDR-EVA I Just got hung up on another thing. You move along

and you get this darn ... up here where it belongs, it
don't want to go.

CDR-EVA I move this tether - a bit right now.

PLT When you get the other hook made, then Joe pulls it
tight.

SPT-EVA Say again, Paul.

PLT I say, when he gets the other hook made, then you
pull the rope tight; cinch it down.

SPT-EVA Right. Okay.

SPT-EVA You got it?

CDR-EVA Yes. No, no. Aaah, come here.

17 50 57 SPT-EVA Let me know if you need more slack.

CDR-EVA Well, not yet.

CDR-EVA Hang in there. Take tension in it. Okay. Now lead

off a little. Try her one more time. Ach! Goldarn
it! Joe, I think we're wasting our time on this.

SPT-EVA I do, too. Have you got the one?

CDR-EVA I've got the one. I don't know. Give her another
go one time. I don't think it's worth it.

SPT-EVA I don't either.

CDR-EVA Got good tension in it?

SPT-EVA Well, wait a minute, I'm trying to secure it without

losing the tension. I don't have good tension on
it right at this moment.

CDR-EVA Okay.

17 52 12 SPT-EVA So keep tending it up there for me for a minute

while I take another couple of loops. All right.
Now I've got good tension in it. Almost as much
tension as I think I can get. I might get one more
hook. No, I don't think I can.
D_ 158 page 4B1

PLT Okay, Pete, when he's ready, then you transfer your
tether to the BET rope.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT How do the Jaws look on the strap? Okay?

CDR-EVA Yes. They aren't going to get any better than that.

CDR-EVA Okay, hold on a minute.

17 52 54 SPT-EVA No, sir, I can't get that last one.

PLT Okay, when you're ready, then you move up to the

hinge line, Pete.

CDR-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Is that all the tension you got in that line?

SPT-EVA Well, the problem is that without a snubber I can't

get any more.

CDR-EVAOkay.

17 53 23 SPT-EVA If I get one more hook around the cleat, it's too
much tension. I can't do it.

CDR-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA Okay, now. I want to look at what else is -

SPT-EVA That's fine. I'm in the duty cutting position, and

I'm Just going to stay here, contemplating rivets,
until you're ready for me to cut.

CDR-EVA All right. The solar panel, as best as I can tell -

as best as I can tell, there's absolutely nothing
holding it but that strap, Joe.

SPT-EVA Well, I hope so.

CDR-EVA All right. Now let me move back. Let me make darn
sure I can see - I know exactly what it is that's
holding it.

CDR-EVA Okay. Now, wait. Let me move back.

Page432 Day158

17 55 06 PLT Joe, make Sky King keep his umbilical out of that
hinge cover there.

CDR-EVA Now.

SPT-EVA It's out. Free and clear.

CDR-EVA This is where I do standup gag, huh?

SPT-EVA Are you ready for me to hold?

CDR-EVA No.

PLT Well, according to this, he's supposed to try to cut

it first.

CDR-EVA All right. Go ahead and try.

SPT-EVA That's what I mean. You're ready for me to haul on

the rope.

CDR-EVA Yes, you can go ahead and try it.

SPT-EVAOkay. Herewe go.

17 55 38 SPT-EVA That'll take it - several tries here. But l'm taking

in rope every time.

CDR-EVA It looked to me like it cut.

SPT-EVA It may have cut.

CDR-EVA Keep going. Keep pulling.

SPT-EVA Man, I am really pulling! That's all the pull I can

pull on that beauty.

CDR-EVA All right, hold it.

SPT-EVA Yougoing to go out and see what's going on?

PLT Didn't you Just move it, Pete? Cut through?

CDR-EVA What happened is that the cutter didn't cut all the
way- Whoops.' There she goes.

17 55 16 SPT-EVA There she goes, SAS panel and all (laughter).

Day158 Page433

PLT She coming out?

SPT-EVA Yes. (Laughter)

CDR-EVA Joe ?

SPT-EVA Huh ?

CDR-EVA Pull slack - pull slack in the BET.

SPT-EVA Huh ?

CDR-EVA Pull slack in the BET. Are you going ...

SPT-EVA l'm trying to. l'm trying to get over there, Pete.

CDR-EVA Yes, but I don't want it to come loose, l'm on m_

way. I got -

17 56 41 SPT-EVA I know it. We both got problems, is what I'm saying.

CDR-EVA Okay. l'm all right.

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA l'm all right. Where's my t_nbilical?

SPT-EVA Up behind you.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA No problem with your umbilical.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA None whatsoever.

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Now wait a minute. She moved.

CDR-EVA Yes.

17 56 57 SPT-EVA And then she stopped.

CDR-EVA Okay. Now -

SPT-EVA Now let me take slack in that darn BET.

h3h Day158

CDR'EVA Hey, well, take it! I'm going!

17 57 06 CDR-EVA Got to - Let me come back to where I can hang on,

and then you can take your time.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Okay?

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA (Chuckle )

PLT Did you transfer your tether, Pete?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Oh, yes, yes. He's all right. He's tethered to

the BET. It's a question of how far out I'm getting
from him - the bloody slack in it - or tension in it,
rather.

PLT Where - How far out is it?

SPT-EVA Oh, it came another i0 degrees.

CDR-EVA It came Just like they said it would.

SPT-EVA It's about - yes - maybe 20 degrees deployed,

something like that.

PLT Well, we show a current on 5, 6, 7, ana 8 here, now.

SPT-EVA Once again, Pete, that's all the tension I can take.

CDR-EVA All right. Let me see. That's all, Paul.

17 57 56 CDR-EVA Okay. Let me give you - I could go stand up and try

it.

17 58 22 SPT-EVA The standup is the weapon we've got left.

CDR-EVA And I've got to get standing up first.

SPT-EVA I know it. And it ain't easy. I ain't rushing you.

Just conversing.

CDR-EVA Aaugh ! (Laughter)

 Day158 Page
435

17 58 48 SPT-EVA I tell you what. If the old doc can get his
shoulder under it - like this. Whoops! My feet.

CDR-EVA I got it.

SPT-EVA There you go. Gave it my all except that old

son-of-a-gun ain't coming.

CDR-EVA Easy. Yes, here comes Houston.

CDR-EVA Easy. If this line lets go, I'm going off in the
toolies.

SPT-EVA You and me both, babe.

17 59 23 CDR-EVA Hey, hey. Well, get back down. Let me get under
it, Joe.

SPT-EVA It's coming! It's coming!

CDE-EVA Yes. Let me get back down to - Okay. Pull."

17 59 35 CDR-EVA That's it'. Yea'. There she goes. Let go'

_-- Letgo!

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA That's got it. (Laughter)

SPT-EVA Hold it.

CDR-EVA Would you look at that :

SPT-EVA Hold it. I expected it to come, Pete. But I

expected to lose you in the process. And, by gosh,
we got you and the panel.

CDH-EVA Push me down. I can't - Ah, there we go. Now.

18 00 03 SPT-EVA How about that?

CDR-EVA It going all the way?

SPT-EVA It looks like it.

CDR-EVA Oops! I lost _ -

436 Day158

18 00 08 SPT-EVA It looks like a solid 90 to me. I don't know about

the panels. Paul?

PLT What?

SPT-EVA What - How's the voltage? We can't see the panels

from here.

PLT Well, they 're not out yet.

CDR-EVA Well, here. I don't think the beam's up all the way.

SPT-EVA Well, are we - Our Job is done, right?

PLT Yes.

18 00 30 SPT-EVA I think it's up all the way, Pete.

CDR-EVA You do?

SPT-EVA Yes, it looks like a good, honest 90 to me.

CDR-EVA Well, let's wait until we get Houston to confirm that.

SPT-EVA If they can.

CDR-EVA It looks like a good, honest 90 to me, too.

18 00 48 PLT Okay, Joe. We got another ECS light, and I got a

barber pole in all three positions of RATE GYRO Z.

SPT-EVA On Z?

PLT Yes.

SPT-EVA Looks great for Houston, too. That means no control

in Z. Where's the Sun? (Chuckle)

CDR-EVA Well, that's roll, isn't it?

SPT-EVA Yes, it's roll. That's right.

CDR-EVA See if it's locked, Joe.

SPT-EVA I think it's locked, Pete.

CDR-EVA All right. Now, P. J., what is the - -

,f_ Day158 Page437

SPT-EVA Why don't you get back in the - -

CDR-EVA What are the procedures?

SPT-EVA - - in the back.

CDR-EVA P.J.?

PLT Wait a minute.

18 01 24 CDR-EVA Houston's never around when you want the.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA All right. Let m_ head on back. The first thing

is, I got to disconnect from this line.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA Now, what do we do about the BET? Are we supposed to

leave that on?

SPT-EVA Leave the BET. I can't think of anything else to do

with the BET. If we leave it attachedat both ends,
it won't flop over and get in that structure. Okay?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Yes, I can see the panels from here. And they're
s,11 accordioned part way out. Each Joint is about -

18 02 03 PLT We're getting about 5 amps on each of the APCGs.

SPT-EVA Yes. Each angle is about 20 degrees, I'd say, Paul.

PLT They might stretch out.

SPT-EVA It's a partly unfolded accordion.

PLT Okay. It says, "Take the slack out of the BET" -

Where the heck am I? EV-1 transfer to SAS foot
rest r aints.

SPT-EVA Right.

PLT Then you Just pass the pole back, the opposite way
you passed it out.
page
hB8 Day158

18 02 27 SPT-EVA Righto. That should work.

PLT Okay.

CDR-EVA All right. Where's my _nbilical? I got to get

that straightened out first.

SPT-EVA Well, I think if you start in, your umbilical will

follow you. Go ahead.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA And I'll keep it behind you. Now, wait a minute. All
right. Go on in. But be prepared to stop. If you're
- if you're tangled in the BET, I'll Just get you
untangled.

CDR-EVA I should be clear of the BET.

SPT-EVA You should be clear of the BET, but I'm not sure
whether you are or not.

PLT Hey, Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes.

18 02 56 PLT The talkbacks show we're in ATT HOLD, CMG. I

might as well stay there until Houston comes up,
huh ?

SPT-EVA He's right. It goes to ATT HOLD, CMG. If you - -

PLT Okay.

SPT-EVA - - lose all gyros in an axis.

PLT Okay.

SPT-EVA You had one loop around the BET for some reason,
Paul - Pete, but I got it out. You are now free
and clear.

PLT All right. They're all accordioned.

SPT-EVA Except for the ... Yes. You see them?

CDR-EVA Yes.
Day158 Page
439

18 03 29 SPT-EVA They're all accordioned about evenly, too.

CDR-EVA Well, the two outboard ones are further out than
the very inboard one.

SPT-EVA Let's tell Houston to fix our gvro before we _o -

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT Yes, ... I'm -

SPT-EVA I'm- tasking about stuff.

MCC Hello there. We're listening to you. You're coming

in loud and clear. We see SAS maps.

CDR-EVA Yes - -

SPT-EVA P. J. --

CDR-EVA Well, let's take care of our Z-gyro. We ain't

got any of them.

MCC Okay,we'relookingat it.

18 03 53 CDR-EVA All right. I'll tell you where we are. We got the
wing out and locked. The outboard panel and the
middle panel are about out the same amount, and the
third one is not quite. Now, Joe, I think before
you come in, you better take a look up there and
make sure that third one is clearing all the debris.

SPT-EVA Ok ay.

CDR-EVA That has been bugging me.

SPT-EVA All right.

CDR-EVA I can do that myself from right here, if I can get there
from here.

18 04 25 MCC Okay, Pete, we don't understand. The outboard two

were almost all the way out last time you looked,
and the inboard one ...

CDR-EVA No, no, no, no, no, no. They are further out than
the inboard one, but -
Page440 Day158

SPT-EVA None of them are out very far. All of them are
accordioned evenly, and the angles between the
panels looks to me like about 20 degrees, Rusty.
So they've got a good long way to go.

MCC Okay. Are they still moving? And how long ago did
you get them out?

18 0_ 54 SPT-EVA Got them out about 5 or 8 minutes ago, and they're

not still moving.

CDR-EVA Doesn't look to me like they're moving at all. If

they are, it's really super slow.

18 05 0_ SPT-EVA I don't think they're moving. No doubt in my mind,

they're - they're staying right where they are for
the moment. You guys are going to bake them out,
right?

MCC That's the plan.

SPT-EVA Okay. I think you're going to have to do that, is

what I'm saying.

CDR-EVA I - I trying to -

SPT-EVA Go on down to the FAS, Pete, and let's get going.

CDR-EVA No, I want - Okay. Excuse me.

SPT-EVA (Lal,ghter)

MCC Okay, Pete, can you tell us where you are? You
still out near the SAS wing, or what's your
status there?

18 05 37 CDR-EVA I'm out - FAS - going - headed for the FAS right
this instant. I'm almost - I'm in the FAS and I'm
getting ready to pull in all of my t_nbilica1_. Joe,
can you see my umbilical?

SPT-EVA Just a second. I was doing a 360 to get my entourage

in.

CDR-EVA Yes, well, I'm trying to - Let me get in here with

my umbilical in the right place. I think I want to
do it that way. Right? You don't want to go -
/ Day 158 Page 441

MCC Okay. And when you get a chance, give us the status
of the BET - where it is and how tight have you got
it, et cetera.

SPT-EVA The BET is between the panel and - It's rigged,

Rusty. And it's as tight as I can get it, which
isn't terribly tight because of the characteristics

of the cleat. And it's also not terribly secure, because

I don't have anything to secure it with, but it'll
stay there as long as nothing hits it, I guess.

MCC Okay. Would you describe it as having no slack in

it, but not very much tension?

18 06 34 SPT-EVA That's correct.

MCC Okay. That's exactly what we wanted. Thank you.

SPT-EVA Oh, I knew that all the time.

PLT Hey, Rusty - Houston. We got another CONDENSATE

TANK DELTA-P light. I'm going to go throughthe
dump procedures again.

MCC Okay. And we would like for you to leave it - in

the dump procedure, that is. We'd like for you to
leave it in a vacuum on that side.

PLT That's how it was when the light came on.

18 06 54 MCC Okay, thank you.

CDR-EVA Yes, Joe, hold it Just a minute.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA While I get these - I don't know whose umbilical

is whose here.

SPT-EVA I'm trying to get down to help you.

CDR-EVA Wait.

SPT-EVA And I'm hung by the fact that I'm still tethered to
the pin. (Laughter)
Page
442 Day158

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA So I think I'd like to get this -

CDR-EVA All right, now I 'm going.

SC (Tone)

SPT-EVA Like to get this pole going in some direction or other.

CDR-EVA All right. Now I've got mine all down here - and
putting it away. Okay with that. Now where is it?

SPT-EVA What?

18 07 46 CDR-EVA Oh, I was Just looking for my umbilical.

SPT-EVA It's easier to track another guy's umbilical than it

is your own. You know it?

CDR-EVA Yes_ but, unfortunately, l've got yours down here,

too, and I don't know why.

SPT-EVAJustcomealongwith-

CDR-EVA Huh?

SPT-EVA It must have come along with you when you went down.

18 08 i0 CDR-EVA Well, it's hooked in me somehow. It's behind my PCU

or something. Oh, no, it isn't. Wait a minute. It
might be this -

CDR-EVA All right. That's yours. Now all I need to do is

come over my head with it. I can't believe it. We
got them in without being tangled.

SPT-EVA (Laughter) That's due to 100-percent skill and

zero-percent luck, right?

CDR-EVA Yes, okay. Now I'm ready for you. All right.

SPT-EVA I'm coming.

CDR-EVA Hand me the pole.

SPT-EVA I'll get it in a more favorable location momentarily.

I'm trying to manage -
i--
/_ Day 158 page 443

CDR-EVA You're flailing around with it.

SPT-EVA I know it.

PLT Hey, Joe.

SPT-EVA Yes.

18 09 18 PLT My readout on the panel is CMG wheels free, Joe.

MCC Joe, this is Houston. If you've got a look at it,

was the inboard panel clear of debris or is it
hanging up on it?

CDR-EVA Yes, yes.

MCC Okay, thank you.

18 09 32 CDR-EVA Best I can tell.

PLT The meter indication of CMG freewheel speed is

true, Joe. Has it been that way?

CDR-EVAYes.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA It's always been that way.

PLT Okay. I didn't know that.

MCC Say again?

CDR-EVA Oh, we're talking to ourselves, Houston.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. Yes. I need to stop right here,

untether from the pin, and get myself collected.

CDR-EVA All right. Take your time.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Got the main Job done.

MCC Joe, if you get a chance before you leave the area,
did you look at the connector on the top of the
AUX tunnel to see if there is any obvious debris
around it?

SPT-EVA The connector--

CDR-EVA It's Clean.

CC Thank you.

SPT-EVA - - the AUX tunnel - I cannot see from where I am

right here.

18 l0 22 CDR-EVA There - there - there isn't ar_thing out there but

that old piece of meteoroid shield that was under-
neath the - wing.

SPT-EVA That sure is what it looks like.

CDR-EVA And you guys called -

SPT-EVA From the angle I can get on it, it's completely

clean. You're right, Pete.

CDE-EVA You guys called it pretty well. It - When we cut

the strap it was under tension. It went about
2 feet, and it stopped, and then I had to break
the - -

SPT-EVA Oh, look at that.

CDR-EVA - - whatchacallit. Look at what?

SPT-EVA Oh, my foolish 6-foot tether is more of a hindrance

than a help all of a sudden. As a matter of fact,
if you'll - well, I'd like to stuff it aw_ some
place. Not quite sure what to do with it.

18 ll B1 CDR-EVA I've - What you doing? I'm holding on to the pole.

SPT-EVA You're holding onto it?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Oh. Is it in a good position for you?

CDR-EVA Yes. Want me to get rid of it for you?

-_ Day158 Page445

SPT-EVA Well, let's Just bring it on down°

CDR-EVA Okay. Keep coming.

SPT-EVA I have to roll it here - -

CDR-EVA Okay.

18 ll 51 SPT-EVA - - to get the blades in the right configuration to

get by this pole.

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Okay? Is it coming?

CDR-EVA It 's coming.

SPT-EVA Keep her coming.

CDR-EVA Coming.

SPT-EVA You've got it now.

CDR-EVAI got it.

SPT-EVA It's out of my hands.

CDR-EVA I got it.

MCC Okay, EV-1 and 2, we're seeing a fairly high

DELTA-P on the gas temperatures going through.
We'd like you to, if you can, to go ahead and
increase your water cooling.

SPT-EVA Increase or decrease?

MCC We'd like to see you taking more out with the water
and less out with the gas.

SPT-EVA Okay. Fine. I'll tell you what. I powered down

for the night, Rusty, and Just hadn't gotten
around to powering up again.

MCC Okay, fine. Thanks.

SPT-EVA I just pushed it up.

Page446 Day158

CDR-EVA I was rather comfortable myself.

SPT-EVA And I _n getting cooling and it feels very nice.

18 12 36 PLT Okay. According to the meter here, Joe, we're

back on ... and -

SPT-EVA That's good. They obviously co,handed it back on.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Took care of the problem for us.

CDR-EVA Okay. The pole is tethered and you're clear of -

SPT-EVA All right. I am coming back.

CDR-EVA All right. Let me tend your tlnbilical. Wait, wait,

wait, wait.

SPT-EVA All right. I'm waiting.

CDR-EVA Wait a lot.

SPT-EVA Let me get hold of this handrail here.

CDR-EVA The thing is hung up - up there.

SPT-EVA No, it's not.

CDR-EVA Okay, I've got it.

SPT-EVA It's under my foot, however. Wait a minute. Okay?

18 13 05 CDR-EVA Let me get it here. You can stick it in here.

SPT-EVA Now where's yours?

CDR-EVA Huh? It's in the FAS - back in the back.

SPT-EVA Do you want me to go in and stow yours right now -

before we do anything else? That might not be a bad
idea, Pete. We won't need it again.

CDR-EVA All right.

18 13 21 SPT-EVA Get it out of our way.

. Day 158 Page 447

CDR-EVA All right with me.

SPT-EVA Let me mske a little ... -

CDR-EVA ... while you're doing that?

SPT-EVA There we go.

CDR-EVA Watch - watch the tools. Watch the tools. All right.
That a boy. Now you're all right. Hold it, hold it!
Darn tool's in the way. Let me get it out of your
way. I don't want you cutting yourself on it. Okay.
Now. Go on in.

SPT-EVA As a matter of fact, I'll come in here, stow your

umbilical, and then stow that tool.

CDR-EVA I'll take it apart.

SPT-EVA Get a clean - Yes, we'll take it apart and put it

•.. away.

CDR-EVA Yes. We got all day to do 82A. Take it.

18 13 59 SPT-EVA And we can probably do that at night (chuckle).

CDR-EVA Yes. No sweat.

SPT-EVA Now -

CDR-EVA Just keep working.

SPT-EVA The tmlbilicals - the tnnbilicals.

CDR-EVA You've got your hand on it.

18 14 07 SPT-EVA Holy mackerel! - It's all the way out. Clean out of
the sphere.

CDR-EVA Okay. You ready?

SPT-EVA Oh, yes - oh, undo it - yes.

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Wondered why it was coming so hard.

CDR-EVA Just take your time.

Page448 Day158

SPT-EVA Okay, That's the first time I've ever seen one
clean out of the sphere.

CDR-EVA Houston, you still there?

MCC Yes, sir; we are. We got the Z-gyros back on, and
we're going back to SI.

SPT-EVA Rusty, we did that Job with about 3 feet of umbilical

to spare on Pete.

MCC Okay. And I understand you've not gone out to the

ATM yet.

CDR-EVA No.

SPT-EVA That's affirmative.

18 14 43 CDR-EVA No, we Just spent the night out there on the solar
panel ....

MCC Pete, before you go out there, we would like to ask

Paul to turn off the image dissector and turn off
the photomultiplier on 54 to prevent any corona
problems when you're putting out gas out the end.

CDR-EVA Those guys will make changes right to the bloody

end. (Laughter)

MCC Right.

PLT Okay, they're OFF.

18 15 13 CDR-EVA While you have a moment, I can't guarantee you that

that third panel does not have solar shield under-
neath it, because I don't know where the solar shield
went to. You were correct. It did have force in it
from the number 1 torsion rod, and it's possible that
it could have flapped out there and hung up the
inboard solar channel [sic].

MCC Okay. Did Joe get a look down the sides Just before
you left the discone antenna?

SPT-EVA Yes, I did, sir.

MCC Could you see -

__ Day158 Page
449

SPT-EVA I saw no hangup whatsoever. I saw nothing above the

level of the meteoroid shield - -

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA - - to - hanging up that sail - that wing. It

should come out.

18 15 59 CDR-EVA Okay. And I suspect that thing - that that's the

coldest wing. Right? Isn't that the coldest one?

SPT-EVA I don't know.

CDR-EVA I'm asking Houston.

MCC They were all about the same temperature, Pete, but
that may be a slightly colder.

MCC Okay, Pete, just out of curiosity, did you cut

through the strap or pry it or what did you do
with it?

CDR-EVA Cut through it. And I'll tell you what -

MCC Okay.

18 16 28 CDR-EVA Let me tell you what it was. it was where the

meteoroid shield had torn off of - both sides of
the angle, so that we had two angles and the
doubler with the bolts in it - with no flanges.
Okay?

MCC Okay, understand you had both flanges of the

70/75 angle.

CDR-EVA No. Well, we had half of one flange, half of the

other flange, the doubler in the middle with the
bolts. And the bolts, in fact - the long end, in
fact, there was one little, lousy, single bolt in
the bitter end that had driven far enough three -
through to hold the strap. Everything else was
free.

MCC Okay, we got 1 minute to LOS here at Texas and we'll

be picking up Vanguard at 28. That's about l0 minutes
from now.

18 17 36 CDH-EVA Well, you're down to - Hold it - hold it. Don't go

anyfurther.
Page450 Day158

SPT-EVA 0kay.

CDR-EVA Now, have you got some place to strap all that Junk?

SPT-EVA I've got one long strap. That'll have to do.

CDR-EVA All right. Well, let me see here.

CDR-EVA I'll pull the same stunt. I'll take it apart and
put it in it - in it. Okay?

SPT-EVA I'm going to divest myself of my 6-foot tether.

CDR-EVA Okay. Here comes the tool.

SPT-EVA Just a minute. I ain't quite ready for it.

CDR-EVA Oh, okay.

CDR-EVA Hey, why don't I take the tool head of -

18 18 25 SPT-EVA ... Yes, that's a good idea at this point, Rusty.

I'd rather have it off.

CDR-EVA My name is Pete.

SPT-EVA (Chuckle) I've really done it.

CDR-EVA What did you do?

SPT-EVA I called you Rusty.

CDR-EVA Oh (Chuckle).

SPY-EVA Now, let me think.

f Day158 Page
451

CDR-EVA I'm going to give you one tool and five poles.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. I'm going to make a knot with the end
of this 6-foot tether.

CDR-EVA Yes.

18 19 29 SPT-EVA And then I'm going to use the hook end - I'm going
to secure that stuff if i can - -

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA - - that way. Hi-diddle-diddle. Ha. Golds.ng it!

PLT l'm glad there's nothing fragile in that airlock.

SPT-EVA Are you watching?

PLT No, l'm listening.

CDR-EVA I'll tell you one thing. Watch the glass, though.

SPT-EVA Okay.

PLT Fortunately, we've got big heavy screens over it.

CDR-EVA But these rods are small.

18 20 26 SPT-EVA All right. Oh, with those? Yes.

CDR-EVA You ready? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Easy, easy.

SPT-EVA I'm just grabbing it, Pete.

CDR-EVA Yes - there.

SPT-EVA What do we do with the - -

CDR-EVA You're going to bundle that, too.

SPT-EVA - - 30 feet of rope.

CDR-EVA You're going to have to do something about that, too.

(Laughter)

SPT-EVA Oh, boy:

CDR-EVA Can you put that in the aft airlock or something?

Page
452 Day158

SPT-EVA I'll have to.

18 20 _0 PLT Just stick it in under the hatch, if you can, Joe.

SPT-EVA Yes, that's a good idea. In fact, I may put the

cleavers under the hatch, too.
i
PLT That's all right.

CDR-EVA Let me know when you get rid of it.

SPT-EVA Yes, give me a minute.

cDR-EVA Okay.

SPT-EVA Hello, little rivet. (Laughter) Found another

free-floating rivet. And launched it on a Journey
to the outer planet. Hit me behind there. Okay.
Secure.

CDR-EVA All right ?

SPT-EVA Yes.

18 21 2h CDR-EVA 0h, oh. I tell you what, you push the pole in and turn.

SPT-EVA Wait a minute. It's in the wrong side of your umbilical.

Okay. You ready?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Oh, shoot !

CDR-EVA Never mind. Here, let me have it. I got to have scme
slack. That's all. Now, let me have scme slack.

SPT-EVA Which way?

CDR-EVA No, you have put too much line away. You see? And
I can't get it out to me. No. All right.

SPT-EVA It would be such a big deal to give you slack.

CDR-EVA Push it in and rotate it ....

18 22 00 SPT-EVA I can't seem to get it in ....

CDR-EVA There you go.

PLT Don't pull that back out any more, Pete. You're
waving it around under that solar array thing up
there.

CDR-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Wait, wait.

CDR-EVA Hey, it's a smart thing we put the 82A out now.

SPT-EVA I'll tell you, you're right.

18 23 16 CDR-EVA (Laughter) Now the next thing is, Joe - careful -

You're going in the right direction with everything.
Okay, hold it. Hold it. Let me have the pole again.
Let me have the pole. Get back - Let me push it in
here the right way.

SPT-EVA I want it the other way first.

CDR-EVA Well -

SPT-EVA I want to push the mushroom end up behind that -

your -

CDR-EVA All right. Okay. That's all right. But let me

guide it in so it's clear of my umbilical.

SPT-EVA Yes.

18 23 40 CDR-EVA Okay. It's got to go under it - I think.

SPT-EVA I think, too.

CDR-EVA All right. That's correct.

SPT-EVA Get that bn]ky stuff up out of my way - our way.

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA And -

CDR-EVA Now -

SPT-EVA It may even allow me to shove that in there - Wait

a minute.

CDR-EVA Got to do something with this rope.

SPT-EVA Yes.

18 24 08 CDR-EVA There it is.

CDR-EVA Hey, how much - Paul?

PLT Nineteen minutes.

CDR-EVA No, I'm not worried about that. How much umbilical
does it take for Joe to go to the Sun end. Do you
know?

SPT-EVA It's Just about the amount I have pulled out, I think.

PLT About 30 feet, I think.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA
Okay.

SPT-EVA I ought to be in fine shape, because I've got the

same amount pulled out now as I do for a normal EVA.

18 24 25 CDR-EVA Okay. Get rid of all that crap off you there.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA Tethers and everything.

SPT-EVA The only thing I've still got on me is the giggly saw
and that's pretty secure. I won't even worry about
it. It's taped down out of the way.

CDR-EVA All right. That's your own umbilical in front of you.

SPT-EVA Okay. Let me get my bearings here.

CDR-EVA ... _bilical.

PLT-EVA Let me know when you go off on the regular checklist.

18 25 13 SPT-EVA We're going on it now. Foot up.

Day158 Page
455

CDR-EVA Let me guide you out, so that you don't hit anything
behind you. Okay. Keep coming. That a boy.

SPT-EVA Right down to the V_, right?

CDR-EVA All the way down to the VT.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Okay. Now let me look at t_nbilicals first.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA They 're in good shape.

SPT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Yes, they were -wait. Keep going, keep going.

Beautiful. Now. When you get out there, take a
look at that sail.

PLT Take care for the VC station. You're clamping at

31 feet, and I think it only takes about a foot or
so more to get out to the station.

CDR-EVA Yes. He's got plenty. He's in good shape.

18 26 33 SPT-EVA Oh, there you are. Looks so different out here, I

couldn't find the shoes for a minute. Thought they'd
left them on the ground.

SPT-EVA Oh, boy. Lovely.

CDR-EVA What ?

SPT-EVA The view. I'm going to have to wait a minute - ease

out of here for a minute and turn around to get a
good look at the sail. Have you got a couple of
more feet of t_nbilical for me? You're pulling me
up too tight.

CDR-EVA I am?

SPT-EVA Yes.

18 27 19 CDR-EVA Wait. Let me see. Okay? A couple of more feet of

tunbilic al.
Page_56 Day158

SPT-EVA Msybe 3.

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT-EVA Something like that.

CDR-EVA How's that?

SPT-EVA That's fine. Now - -

CDR-EVA You're right ...

18 27 33 SPT-EVA - - the sail - It's catty-wc_pus for one thing. As I

look down on it, it's rolled counterclockwise about
l0 degrees - not far, but some. Okay. The two poles
on this end are both fully deployed. The ropes between
the poles and the corners of the sail are taut. The
left corner of the sail - that is, the one toward the
SAS panel - is flat and looks very nice. The right
corner of the sail - there is a big bunch - there's
a big bunch about 3 feet forward of that corner, as
if the material had wrinkled and stuck and never came
completely apart.

CDR-EVA It's our local hot spot.

SPT-EVA Well, forward of that, I suspect. See, because I can

see the left front pole all the way out; but I can't
see the right front pole. The material pitches for-
ward there, and I suspect that that pole is either
shortened or bent or something. Okay?

MCC Okay, Skylab; Houston here. We've got you for the
next 9 minutes and, at your convenience, we'd like a
GO on the maneuver.

18 28 _ SPT-EVA Roger. You can GO for the maneuver. And, Rusty,

did you copy m_ description of the sail?

MCC Negative, sir, we Just picked you up right now. So

go ahead.

SPT-EVA All right - let me repeat that.

PLT It's on B channel, Joe. It's recorded. They can get

it later.

SPT-EVA All right. Let's press on, then. Good.

CDR-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA It's coming out to yo u right now, old buddy.

SPT-EVA Stop it before it gets there, because I'm involved

in - -

CDR-EVA Yes. Yes.

SPT-EVA - - because I'm involved in getting back into my

shoes, huh?

18 29 l0 CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT-EVA Okay, I'm in the boots; bring it on out.

CDR-EVA Okay. It's clear your umbilical?

SPT-EVA Yes, it's nice and clear.

CDR-EVA Yes, it's on its way.

SPT-EVA It was a bit of a problem at first leaning

back, towards the Earth.

CDR-EVA Say when.

SPT-EVA Keep it coming. Ready - when.

CDR-EVA Let me tell you something, Joe.

SPT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA That handle is very stiff and it's a very tight fit.

SPT-EVA This one?

CDR-EVA Yes, sir; so hang on.

SI°T-EVA 0kay.

18 29 50 CDR-EVA You may have to really wrinkle to get it out.

PLT You might, but I don't think so. Let me know when
you' re there.

18 30 30 SPT-EVA It's bright out here.

degrees, about an inch per second, about ...

SPT-EVA - - what a gorgeous view. Go ahead, Paul.

PLT Wait a minute. What was it?

MCC Okay, that was - remember we want to close

the door and wait 20 seconds before you turn
the main power on, there, on the checkout.

PLT Okay, you're going to have to tell me when

we come to it, I think.

18 31 16 MCC Okay, just let me know.

CDR-EVA Hey, Rusty, what quads do you want me to look

at? The quads that I can see from here, and
F I'm not exactlysure where I am. I'm trying
to figure that out right now, what I'm looking
at. What am I looking at?

PLT Say, let me get on with Joe there, Pete.

SPT-EVA Paul, Rusty, the S054 door is closed, which

surprises me. I thought it was open.

PLT I think we did too.

MCC So did we.

SPT-EVA Okay. Once again, I have a problem with the

film door because the aperture door is

18 32 51 MCC Understand the 82A aperture door is closed, Joe?

SPT-EVA Yes, sir. Every aperture door in the place is closed.

MCC Okay. We do need to get that one open and we

don't - or do not want you to unpin that one.

SPT-EVA I understand that, but I would like it open so I

could get at the film.

can is closed and locked; and I'm going for the
new film.

PLT Okay. Install - extend the handle first

or you can stick it in first and then extend

firmly, positively - -

white flag is fully over it.

hatch, and they got - procedures are all acrewed up.

PLT What the heck is going on here?

CDR-EVA What happened now?

PLT I have a computer reject light. Oh, gosh' They

goofed the configurations. Apparently - now we're

PLT Nothing.

CDR-EVA Oh, yes, super.

SPT-EVA It's okay in the FAS. It's kind of dim out there in
the ... It's reasonable though. You could- you
could work out there.

PLT I think, I tell you what I think. I think they

screwed up that maneuver, because we were - (cough)
we were maneuvering for a while.

18 45 01 SPT-EVA Well, the - the gyro problem may have given them an
excuse, you know what I mean.

PLT Well, I say they started it.

CDR-EVA You put that in the regular place this time.

SPT-EVA Uh-huh.

CDR-EVA Here, wait a minute. Let me give to you the other

way.

SPT-EVA You caught me by surprise. (Laughter) I said, "Where

is it; where is it?"

18 45 57 SPT-EVA I kind of hate to put it in the regular place, Pete.

It spoils a perfect record on this EVA.

CDR-EVA All right; you ready?

going to do a 180 roll here.

SPT Okay.

facing the hatch and you'll be back. You're fine,

first.

CDR Yes, yes; you're right.

18 52 51 SPT Can we go helmets and gloves off?

PLT You guys can.

SPT I'd like to pop my gloves, my hands are sore.

CDR Yes; okay.

PLT We lost the condensate tank again, for some darn reason.

CDR Let's go hook that thing up right away and - and -

and to the other one, and we'll get it back.

CDR The lock lock is in, man.

PLT Okay; and you got the valves capped now?

CDR The valve is capped; that's affirm. Valve is capped.

SPT Yes. We ought to remember that next time we ought to

open this valve - this hatch first.

CDR Yes. They show that they're - well, you stfll show
a little. You still flowing through the valves?

SPT Yes.

CDR Oh, yes, not a heck of a lot.

18 55 16 SPT Guess they should open at approximately the same time.

CDR Well, Joseph and Paul, - we have (laughter) one more

time and I think we'd do it. One's the docking and
two's the solar panel. Whoo!

SPT Yes. Feels good to have that solar panel out. The
rest of it is in their hands, you know or ... - -

CDR Man, they can have the rest of it.

SPT - - to go out there and get those wings down. That

ain't our job; we got that panel out -

CDR Those wings'll come down by themselves, I think, when

they heat them.

SPT Took a fair amount of heave on that rope, didn't it?

CDR Listen, when that thing finally broke, I had everything

I could put into it, and so did you, right?

SPT Yes.

CDR And when it let go, man, I was free as a breeze. I

was - -

SPT (Laughter) I saw you out there (laughter).

the ATM pass at 20:00:03, JOP 2/, paragraph 6,
building block 7, where it says, "Roll 82B SLIT
for uniform H-Alpha emission." I thought I had
done that, but in further pursuing the XUV MON,
it looks like I had it rolled a little bit too far,
brcause the XUV MON and none of the erosshairs
really line up. And you've really got to figure
out where you are and it took a little while to do

DAY 159 (AM)

00 34 56 CDR Hello, channel B tape recorder. The results of the

housekeeping lh Golf with the iodine assembly are as
follows.

CREW ...

00 35 08 CDR In the water chiller, it was 1 part per million. In

tank l, which is feeding the water chiller, it is
9 parts per million. End of message.

02 30 53 SPT B channel, SPT at 02:30 reporting on as screwed up an

ATM pass as I've had in quite a while. We started from
a bizarre powerdown configuration, which I still haven't
figured out. After performing powerup for unattended
ops per the message and powerup from unattended ops
versus our much scratched-up cue card, I still had
about a dozen switches to attend to, including getting
the fine Sun sensor on and configuring at EXPERIMENT
POINTING, et cetera, and so forth. At that point, the
82A and the 5_ had no READY lights. The door talkbacks
were white and, after a brief and unsatisfactory dis-
cussion with Houston, I had to go into the door mal-
function procedures. And I wound up powering down and
then reenabling the door motors, which worked, and got
the experiments into a READY light configuration. So
from that point on, 5_ operated normally. S050 - or
rather S082Awas called upon only for one frame, a
time exposure. The frame counter, which had myster-
iously been reset to 200 since the PLT tested it this
afternoon during EVA.

PLT No, no, no.

SPT Stand by 1. Belay that. It started at 201 and he

decremented it to 200. It is now down to 199 after
the time exposure. What bothers me is that the OPERATE
light remained on at the end of that exposure. So we
may have had more than one problem with 82A and it
behooves you guys to keep close watch on it, please.
Also, please, people, number l, tell us where you've
left the experiment. And number 2, I request and
recommend that new powerdown for unattended dark-side-
prep, sun-side-prep, and powerdown/operate next pass
cue, card formats be sent up to us by a teleprinter as
soon as possible. The ones we have are so written over
Page
486 Day159

and have been through so many iterations as we pass from

mode to mode that they're virtually useless and we -
we're doing it on - on a wing and a prayer.

02 33 23 SPT Okay. The result of all this - the - We staggered

through JOP 6, and I got one up - one building block i0,
which I had to truncate the last three S054 exposures,
but we did get a little bit of data. The H-alpha i
camera image looks terrible. It's blurred, out of
focus, and appears to be considerably off-line center,
halfway between an H-alpha and a white light picture.
This may be - I hope it is - a thermal problem. I
would like for you to advise on that. Good night.

SPT Okay, one more thing. I will give you the frames
remaining. H-alpha, 12,007; X-RAY TELE, h183; XUV
SPECT, 199; XUV SLIT, 1010; WHITE LIGHT CORONAGRAPH,
4974; and 3714 for S054. Good night.

02 35 46 SPT And, recorder; SPT again. One more thing on the ATM

about i0 times per sequence during a MIRROR AUTO RASTER.

bag anomaly. I don't know whether to call this a
failure or not, but when I was evacuating my urine
bag this morning, prior to inserting it in the box,
serial number 549, I heard a distinctive squealing
noise and discovered that the black nipple valve, the
urine outlet valve, was - impatent, and it was - it
was leaking air in. I know that - the customary
routine is - that - to plug that valve when evacuating
the bag. I have not been doing it. And all the bags
that had been - exhibited good tightness. We've de-
cided not to use this bag because, if the valve leaks
_ in, it might leak out; and the - might leak urine when
you remove it at the end of the day. So we're going
to discard that bag. End of message.

15 28 07 PLT Hello, friendly B channel. For the EREP people. At

15:28, I came back up to the MDA to check the S192
alignment. I turned on the alignment switch and the
ALIGN READY light did not come on. The following
meter readings were obtained without adjustments.
Before adjustment, the visible: left, 80, 80; right,
40, 40. The thermal reading was 44. Here's the

15 30 33 PLT Tape recorder, I opened the S192 door. S192 MODE

to READY. Got a READY light. Went back and turned
the ALIGN switch ON. I still did not get an ALIGN
READY light. The visible readings are practically
unchanged. However, without having touched
anything, the thermal channel reading has come up to
60 percent, 60. I don't understand. But I may just
let it go.

15 34 34 PLT Okay, tape recorder, some more for the EREP people.
Per the checklist, after l'd opened the 192 door, I
closed it again. And after I noted that the thermal
channel was indicating 60 percent, I went back and
looked and it was back to 40. I decided to check
something out; opened the 192 door again. As the
door was in transit, the thermal channel reading would
vary between 40 and about 52 percent. Just as the
door - it would sit there and cycle back and forth, I
don't know if it's getting reflections or what. As
the door would come full open, then the thermal channel r
reading then went on up to about 60 percent. That's
where it's set. l'm going to go ahead - Oh, and also
this time, on opening the door and getting a 192 READY
light, I have an ALIGN READY light that appears
to be a sometimes thing. Stand by.

15 35 48 PLT Okay, people, I solved that one. The only time we

get an ALIGN READY light is when we have a S192 READY
light. In other words, when I go MODE to STANDBY, I
no longer have the ALIGN READY light either.

15 37 13 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT, for the suit

people. Since we are now drying suits in a normal
fashion, l'm going to make an executive decision and
put only two desiccants in each suit rather than four,
because, number I, it gets us there on time with the
desiccants; number 2, it avoids us having an impossible
problem at the end of the mission trying to dry
12 desiccants for i0 hours each. We wouldn't have
time to do it. End of message.

16 33 55 CDR Hello, friendly B channel, this is for the ATM fellows

from the CDR. JOP 2A, building block 6: In having the
TN/LT ENABLE switch OFF, although that was what the
/_. D_y 159 Page 489

pad called for, and BE and AL HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER is ON

on 56, I noticed that the PMEC got up over 900. Now I
see that we were in the anomaly - in the preceding
three unattended passes. And I assumed that we were
in the anomaly then, although BE and AL were not se-
cured, and that I attracted - got me a flare. I looked
around - the only place, of course, would have been 31
that I could see. I could not see anything on X-ray.
But every once in awhile, I thought I could, but it -
that was kind of funny. We haven't seen too much on
that. And I looked at XUV and ... yourself that active
region 31 was - was as hot or hotter than everything
else around there. However, after that, I - I moved
up to the unattended ops active region B1, and I
couldn't get very much on intensity data on - on 55,
tweaking around the active region; as a matter of
fact, it looked pretty low. I've seen higher, and the
other day I was 1200, and here I can see only about 2 -
2 to 300 on peaking up with 55. So I assume what I
saw on the PMEC was going through the anomaly, but I
thought I'd mention it to you anyhow. End of message.

and one for the PLT. Were they supposed to have been
taken out earlier and used, or should I leave them in
B-l? You can answer that question at your leisure.
Thank you.

19 41 06 CDR Friendly B channel, this is the M092/171 with the PLT

as the subject, and the time is 15 - no, 16 - 19:41,
December [sic] seventh. And the calf measurements are
left, 13-1/2, and right, 13-1/4.

19 51 57 SPT The PLT's ID numbers are right leg, Alfa X-ray; left
leg, Charlie Juliett. We had to slip the PLT down to
a 13/14 legband because his leg girth has changed by
about a half an inch since the last run, and that
wipes us fresh out of 13/14 legbands. They're all
in use now. We've got plenty of 16/17's and some
15/16's left over. You might think about resupplying
legbands in the small size and possibly even making
the 12/13's for the next mission.

19 58 25 SPT - - small as the PLT's. Pete says they're high this

morning. His heart rates are within spec, repressing - -

20 33 12 SPT Okay, for M171, the N2, 02, 002 GAS PRESSUP_ in the
bottle is 1589.

20 39 20 SPT Okay, the CAL (cough) N2, H20 bottle PRESSURE reading
is 1490 today.

20 42 48 SPT On that 3-5, the PRESSURE reading you want is 4.970.

20 43 21 SPT And the PERCENT OXYGEN this afternoon is 74.70. The

PERCENT H20 is 3.03. And the PERCENT C02 is 1.89.

20 44 15 SPT The PRESSURE reading is, again, 4.970.

21 14 41 CDR Hi, there, friendly B channel. This is the CDR on

day 159. The time is 21:15, and I would like to give
you M487-3 Bravo, starting on page 3-6 of the Evalua-
tion Experiments Checklist. I would like to start out
by talking about the wardroom and using your guide-
lines. Overall I - I rate the wardroom very good.
The general arrangements, the orientation of the com-
partments are basically very good. What - Well, I'll
get to it. Basically, they are very good. The volume
of the compartment is adequate.

21 15 46 SPT Okay, back to M171 for a minute. The PERCENT 02 post-

run is 72.13. It changes with time. The PERCENT H20
is 5.64, dropping 5.57, 5.51, for instance. The PER-
CENT CO 2 is 1.97, 1.96, 1.97. That one's fairly stable.
Okay, it's yours, Pete.
/-_ Day 159 Page 491

21 16 18 CDR Okay, we're back with M487-3 Bravo. The volume of the
wardroom is adequate. Ceiling and floor proximity are
fine. There is no problem there. Ingress and egress
are all right, but it could be a little bit better.
The PLT's location in the corner - If everybody is
eating, he has to either go over the top of the table
or slide around the floor to get by the CDR or the
SPT. And the trash collection provisions leave some-
thing to be desired. Now let me say that where the
trash bag ... are located, one guy has to lean quite
a ways to get to the trash bags, and - namely, the
CDR. If you put the trash bag behind him where there
is a location, then the other two guys can't reach it
at all. So we could do a little bit better on trash
collection. And the other thing is the wet trash,
where we stow wet trash in the can - the can holder
area, that tends to get a little dirty in there, and
we have to keep after it - cleaning it. And I'll have
some more comments about that in a minute. The stowage
volume and access is all right, except the tray that
holds the pudding doesn't really hold the pudding ade-
quately. The ... trays for the SPT and the PLT are
too close together, and they hang up in one another
-- all the time because the - the ... knobs that are
between the two sometimes stick out, either up or down,
between the trays, and hang in the lower or upper tray.
The food stowage is basically all pretty good, and it
could probably by spread out a little bit better with
respect to ...

21 18 32" SPT ...

CDR And it doesn't ... very well. Now the personnel

mobility aids we don't - excuse me, temporary equip-
ment restraints basieally work well. We don't have
too much trouble _ay. Other than that, the per-
sonnel mobility aids are - those don't really apply
in the wardroom. You don't need any anywhere for that
matter. You can ... yourself anywhere you want in
the vehicle. The personnel restraint devices work
fairly well except for the - the foot straps which
are basically a good idea, but the material they're
made from makes them very difficult to operate. Ther-
mal comfort has been good. Noise level is extremely
low, and the illnm_nation is good. And, of course,
we enjoy very much the wardroom window ... us a good
view of the Earth and the stars at night. And it's
very pleasant.
Page
492 Day159

21 19 35 CDR One of the problems in the wardroom is keeping it

clean. We have the grid floor. We have the grid
above, and we have many little perturbances that -
lockers that have little old locker doors on top of
them with the wet wipes and so forth. And there are
certain foods that are very difficult to handle, and
you Just can't help but have a little bit of water -
a little bit of food - liquid food get s_ay from you.
And these settle on these various places of the grid,
and so forth. And it's very, very difficult to clean
the wardroom. So, in future design, I would suggest
that we go to some arrangement - wall, ceiling, and
cabinet structure - that is basically easier to clean,
at the same time bearing in mind the location of the
various cabinets and their functions with respect to
the people that are using that room.

21 20 31 CDR So much for the wardroom. The waste management com-

partment I think basically is, again, very good. The
general arrangement and orientation of the compartment
are fairly good. The location of the compartment next
to the sleep compartment is not good becausethe blower
runs. you can hear in th_ sleep compartments and so
forth. So, it is Just the location. The volume is _
fine. (Yawn) Ceiling/floor proximity really doesn't
bother us any. Ingress/egress is okay. The trash
collection is all right, but yet the - A little
_mprovement in trash collection - I would think that
especially the wet trash, the urine towel and things
like this, and the collection of the urine bags and
so forth, that rather than hanging that thing on the
wall, we really need an internal thing to hang that
trash bag. And it would keep it out of the way of the
door; it's located right next to the door where you
come in ... located it right in front next to the wash
basin. There it is sort of in your way, but it's not
that bad. The stowage volume and access in there is
very reasonable. The temporary equipment restraints,
the handholds, and so forth are good.

21 21 52 CDR The foot restraints, again, are excellently placed,

but the material that they are made out of is very
poor and makes it difficult to use. No requirement,
no personnel mobility aids in there, no personnel
restraint devices - Excuse me, I got personnel re-
straint devices mixed up with temporary equipment
restraints. Just the equipment restraints. Okay.
And the comment I made about the temporary equipment
_.. Day159 Page
493

restraints applies to personnel restraint devices -

the foot holders; so don't confuse the two. Thermal
comfort has been good there. Noise level is low, and
the illumination is excellent. Sleep compartment: I
find my sleep compartment quite adequate. You don't
need a large room. I have plenty of stowage space.
Don't mind my head hanging on the wall. Trash col-
lection is fine. Stowage is fine. Access is fine.
Temporary equipment restraints are adequate. Person-
nel mobility aids are ... Personnel restraint devices
are adequate but ... improvements made on it, but the
basic idea is very good. You can sleep on your side,
on your back, on your stomach. It works very well,
and we can sleep quite well up here. Thermal comfort
has been good. Noise level is low, except for things
(yawn) you don't notice, like the waste management
compartment when somebody goes in at night. The illu-
mination is all right. I think perhaps I would like
a small reading type lamp, though, to be located over
my bed rather than this harsh fluorescent light. You
get all the light or no light.

21 2B 31 CDR Experiment compartment, basic arrangement: The

experiment compartmentis fine. We're a little crowded
over in the area where the shower is, because the shower
is an afterthought with us. If the shower wasn't there,
I think it - everything would be Just fine. One other
point, the volume of the compartment is more than ade-
quate. The ceiling has got - I'd say about ... We
find - like exercising with the bicycle ergometer in
the ... mode, we have no place to put our feet up on.
The ceiling has quite a bit of - wire, rugs, fire
sensors, lights, and shower stuff's all in the way
there on the ceiling. Ingress and egress in the ex-
periments compartment is no sweat. Trash collection
is really not too applicable. We don't really gen-
erate or produce a lot of trash there and so that
doesn't really apply. Stowage volume and access is
very reasonable. Temporary equipment restraints are
adequate. Personnel mobility aids, again, don't apply.
Personnel restraint devices - we've found that we can
ride the bicycle with no restraint at all .... very
well. The thermal comfort has been good. The noise
level is low. And, again, the illumination, where we
can use all lights, is excellent.

21 24 51 CDR Forward experiments and dome compartment: The general

arrangement and orientation of the compartment are
Page
494 Day159

fine .... made out of a tank, I'm sure ... better -

the - we certainly can use the ... to do an M509 in.
We don't need the ... airlock experiment and things
like that, but it is a - a great place to - to move
around in. And the stowage is excellent around the ...
and it works very well. The personnel mobility aids
we've found we don't need in here. We can fly every-
where we need to in there. The personnel restraint
devices are good, especially the ... to work out on
the floor. Now the grid floor has worked very well,
but the grid floor is not quite as open as ... put in
the ... the rest of the things and - ... on that grid
floor, there's not always a whole lot of place to put
your feet. So ... that in future designs. Thermal
comfort, noise level, illumination are all excellent
in there. And I really don't have too much more to
say about that now.

21 25 52 CDR The airlock - the airlock is used for absolutely

nothing but transportation. And it's right between
the lower part of the spacecraft and the upper part
of the MDA. And, therefore, I don't really need to
comment on anything except - other than that. Now
for ... It turned out that we've done one EVA out ___
of there. The lock compartment is more than adequate -
adequately illuminated. Of course, we were suited,
and you really don't worry about the thermal comfort
and the noise level which, of course, is quite low in
there. The personnel restraint devices, we found,
were not necessary in there to do the EVA. The hatch
opened very easily. There was no problem opening it.
No problem closing it, and what temporary equipment
restraints are in there are excellently designed be-
cause we spent a lot of time on them, and ... the EVA
gear, and they work well. Stowage volume and access
doesn't really apply. And ingress/egress provisions
are excellent, as I have stated. The hatch is very
easy to close - the internal hatches; and the external
hatches. Ceiling and floor proximity doesn't apply.
It's really a cylinder. And the volume in the com-
partment is adequate, and the general arrangement is
adequate.

21 27 08 CDR Okay. Let's look at the MDA and the STS. The general
arrangement and orientation of the compartment, I
think, could be a little bit better. Again, it's
oriented around the cylinder, probably not the great-
est orientation in the whole world, but it really
Day159 Page495

hasn't led us into too many serious problems, ... fine.

... the compartment is certainly adequate. Ceiling/
floor proximity: it doesn't really apply in there.
Ingress/egress is fine, both to - below through the
airlock and through the tunnel to the command module.
No problem there. You don't generate a lot of trash
up there. We have a few trash bags, but we find that
we really don't ... up there .... is not necessary.
We don't have any personnel restraint devices. The
ATM gear works well. I think the ... could be designed
a little bit better ... other 487-3 Alpha, I believe
I commented on the basic ...

21 28 05 CDR Thermal comfort: It gets quite cold up there, but

that's more our problem from having lost our shield
and not having a lot of electricity in the whole
world. So, I think that, in view of that, it's been
quite good. It's been about 60 degrees, and I think
now that we have had the wing out, it gradually (yawn)
The temperature up there will be allowed to pick up.
The noise level is fine. The mol sieves . .. every
15 minutes, but it's quiet and doesn't bother you too
much, and the illumination is adequate.

21 28 h8 CDR And that is the end of the CDR's Mh87-3 Bravo.

21 33 hl SPT Friendly tape recorder, this is the SPT at 21:33 with

a M487-3 Bravo, starting with evaluations of the var-
ious compartments. The wardroom : General arrangement
is pretty good. I have scme nit picks, being the SPT,
that I do not have a handy place to put food trash -
with a ... of n_r side of the vehicle - of the room.
What we're doing is hanging a disposal bag on the snaps
between _V seat and the door, which serves - and also
serves for the food and the shower bags and whatever
else is around. There is - there do tend to be s_ne
bottlenecks in the food area in both obtaining one's
food and disposing of cans. However, I think it was
a good Job for the amount of room involved.

21 3h 39 SPT The wardroom window is outstanding. Its size is very

good. Certainly let's not make them any smaller. Its
field of view is also excellent. I understand that's
partly coincidence, on account of the meteoroid shield
being missing. I think it would have been a shame if
we'd had the smaller field of view. And the other
thing about the wardroom, of course, is that, since
we eat there, we spatter a great deal. And either
Page
496 Day159

the food is going to have to be better engineered to

make it more spatter-proof and/or the room in which
the eating occurs is going to have to be made rela-
tively spatter-tight and easily eleanable. All right.
Continuing that, the volume, as I said, is marginal.
The ceiling/floor proximity is good. Ingress/egress
provisions are good. We need the large opening. We
rarely to never use the curtain across it. Trash
collection I've already covered. Stowage volume is
okay. Access - it's fine except for mealtime. Tem-
porary equipment restraints - we're using a lot of
bungees spread on the little holes between the locker
doors. This is okay; however, the bungees tend to
slip off and - something similar but with a little
better restraint and the elasticity incorporated would
be good.

21 36 ll SPT I don't understand what personnel mobility aids are.

Personnel restraint devices - since I don't wear my
triangle shoes with triangles on them, I can't use
the little triangles at the base. And I prefer to
have s_nething I can use the mushrooms with. The
thigh restraints are okay. I have a feeling that
sc_ething better will - will ultimately be developed, F-_
but they are convenient to get in and out of. Thermal
comfort and noise level are excellent. Illumination
is low as it is pretty much throughout the ship.

21 36 49 SPT Waste management compartment turns out to be a pretty

good size and pretty well arranged. The ceiling/floor
proximity is okay as is the wall-to-wall proximity for
doing such tasks as the shaking up the - the urine and
also for defecation. Ingress/egress is fine. Trash
collection is fine. Stowage volume is fine. Temporary
equipment restraints - I would like to see more equip-
ment restraints, occasionally - particularly when -
setting up and tearing down from the medical
experiments, we find that we have more things in our
hands than we know what to do with - and - get - a bit
of a bottleneck there at the door with one guy stand-
ing there putting on and taking off electrodes with
the electrodes kit in place, with the trash bag in
place, covering people's hygiene kits. That's the
area that's too crowded. The deeper you go into the
compartment, the better things get. Personnel mobility
aids, not really required. Restraint devices: The
straps on the floor, we've debriefed before, are in a
good location but are not well-designed and tend to
 Day159 Page497

interfere with the urine drawers. Thermal comfort's

fine. Noise level's fine. Illumination is probably
adequate in this compartment.

21 38 lh SPT The sleep compartment - arrangement and orientation

are - are okay. The volume of the compartment is
okay, except that a little more temporary stowage is
required. I'll get to %hat. Ceiling/floor proximity
is okay. Don't make it any smaller. When I have M133
on, my head tends to b_np and scrape the ceiling with
that cap on when I'm in bed. Ingress/egress is okay.
It's a little bit cramped, however, for rapid egress,
in case we really needed to. Trash collection is fine.
Stowage volume is - not enough, in that most of the
lockers are taken up with permanent stowage of one
kind or another. And you really don't have any place
to empty your pockets. I have rigged two trash bags -
taped them to the wall and ceiling near the bed, and
I use those for - as dresser drawers. Temporary
equipment restraints are okay. Personnel mobility,
not needed. Restraint devices, not needed; the com-
partment is so small. Thermal comfort is okay. Noise
level is too high when - When you're asleep and any-
one else is moving around at all, the noise and the
light get - get - get to you. If you ever want people
on other than a simultaneous sleep cycle, you must
provide them with a soundproof sleeping accommodation,
which is the exact opposite of what we have right now.
lllumination in the sleep compartment is okay.

21 39 43 SPT Experiment compartment general arrangement and orien-

tation is okay, except that the - at the two corners
where things get awfully crowded between the shower,
the centrifuge, the tool kits, and our temporary
stowage for the vacuum cleaner. It's very crowded
in that corner. In the other corner, it's not quite
so bad, but M131 pretty well sweeps that area clear
and makes it useless for stowage of other gear. Aside
from that, we did well. Ceiling/floor is okay.
Ingress/egress is not applicable. Trash collection:
We don't collect trash in that compartment. Stowage
volume is all right. Temporary equipment restraints:
I have trouble finding places to put the checklist
still. What we need is a mini camera mount that
doesn't stick down in the compartment so far and which
could be placed in more different places. Personnel
mobility aids, not required. Restraint devices, not
/_ required; the triangle does the trick. Thermal com-
Page 498 Day 159

fort, okay. Noise level, okay. Illumination on the

low side.

21 40 49 SPT Forward dome panel arrangement and orientation is okay.

This - this figuring is one where you can put more
things around the wall with a - a little triangle here
and there, a few handholds be - beside them and you
don't have to wo=_y about the up/down arrangements.
We may actually have under-utilized the walls of that
compartment a little bit. This is for future refer-
ence. The volume is fine, and we need a compartment
this big to give you room to play around and move in.
Ceiling/floor proximity is okay. Ingress/egress is
oks_,. Trash collection: We don't collect trash
upstairs. Stowage volume is fine, and access to the
dome lockers is fine. Temporary equipment restraints
don't seem to be needed, except in the suit donning
areas where we could use some more. Personnel mobility
aids, not required. Restraint devices, adequate.
Thermal, noise, and illl,mlnation: The first two okay;
the ill_,_nation is a little low.

21 4i 54 SPT The airlock is a - a fine tunnel. And for a tunnel

and - and an airlock, it's size and dimensions are
pretty good because when you're EVA with the hatch
open you always have something to bear against,
and I wouldn't want it a whole lot bigger - a
little longer maybe, because we always have trouble
getting things in. Okay, ceiling/floor proximity
is good. Ingress/egress is good. We don't collect
trash in there. Stowage volume: We should have a
little more, a little better thought-out stowage
for EVA. Equipment: The zipper pockets aren't
very useful because you can't get anything in them
and then close the zipper, and zippers aren't easy
to handle in a pressurized glove. Keep in mind
that Velcro is - would be great if we had the right
kind. Snaps are also no good in the pressurized
glove. Much of the Velcro on board the ship is no
good because it doesn't hold well enough. Okay,
personnel mobility aids are not required. Restraint
devices, not really required. We talked at one
time about having shoes in the airlock, and shoes
are a great thing in a pressurized suit. We Just
don't happen to need them in a compartment this
size. Comfort, noise level, and illumination
are not applicable.

f
 Day159 Page499

21 43 ll SPT In the MDA/STS, general arrangement is reasonably

good except for a couple of things. The M200
circuit breaker panels have always been a pain
in the neck and, in zero g, they continue to be a
pain in the neck, orienated at right angles to
everything else and on down. The bottleneck of the
MDA is the STS, where the control and display panels
are. It's not compatible to have a guy working there
and a guy working at the ATM. And the guy at the STS
blocks the hatch. Ceiling/floor proximity is all
right. Ingress/egress is all right. Trash collec-
tion: Don't seem to need one in the MDA, and we
don't have any - that I can think of. Stowage
volume and access, okay. Equipment restraints,
okay. Mobility aids, not required. Restraint
devices: The two triangle sections are - are good.
Illumination is low in the MDA and a little bit
confusing in a circular compartment. Noise level
and thermal comfort are - Well, noise level is
okay. It's cold in there, and it has been for days.

21 44 32 SPT And I guess that's it for Bravo. Good-bye.

f-

22 00 23 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 22:00 for

the medical people. I'm activating the slide
stainer for fun and profit. And on opening the
waste bag storage container, a threaded bolt, with
a ball bearing at one end and a little screw slot
at the other end, came floating out, evidently
having backed off from some place in there. And
it would be fun to know where it came from, so I
could try to put it back. End of message.

22 29 53 CDR Hello, there, friendly B channel. It's the old

CDR with the message 1516, the general evening
questions 15/Day 159. Question n_nber 1. Request
you voice-record EVA debrief on following items.
Alfa: True and umbilical motions when strap cut
through, and when SAS pulled out with BET. Let's
go to when the strap was cut. At the time the SPT
went to cut the strap, the CDR was positioned
holding onto the Dole with one hand and tethering
to the BET, with the right arm positioned behind the
hinge, facing minus-X, looking at the cutter. The
SPT pulled several times, as hard as he could, on the
cut strap, and the CDR could notice that the Jaws
weren't back as close as they were going to close.
_ But nothing happened. So the CDR suspected that
Page500 Day159

the Jaws had spread and that we had closed it as

far as we could, but the strap had spread the Jaws
and the strap was, in fact, not cut. So I said to
the BPT, "Is that as hard as you can pull?" And
he said, "Yes, that is it." Whenceupon, he
continued to pull mightily, unbeknownst to the CDR
who decided that he would go out the pole and
investigate what was happening. And upon approaching
about 4 feet from the end of the pole, lo and
behold, the strap cut, and the SAS beam moved about
2 feet in an instantly swift sort of action. In the
meantime, because the CDR was now hanging onto a
loose pole - in fact, that had drifted - he also
floated upward with the wing and got ahold of the
BET, which was rapidly getting slack. Then figuring
that the taut end was behind him, he started moving
hand over hand as fast as possible, keeping tensions
to the plus-X direction of the BET, down the BET, as
he floated upward, and he arrived in a great heap at
the end on top of the SPT. Right, SPT?

22 32 47 SPT There wasn't much ...

CDR Well, you were having your problems holding onto the
pole, right? And getting yourself - -

SPT Yes - -

CDR - - all suckered back down.

SPT Right.

22 32 56 CDR Okay, the SPT will debrief on that. Anyhow, when I

got back in the vicinity of the A-frame and the
discone antenna, I got this situation under control.
And I will let the SPT brief you on - on his happening
while cutting the strap. Okay, let's go to when the
SAS pulled out with the BET. The BET was tight then -
as tight as we could get it around the cleat, which -
we got it as tight as we could on the cleat. And then
I went to the vicinity of the end of the SAS column,
plus-X direction, of course, on the frame of the SAS,
and endeavored to pick up the BET and smartly put it
over my shoulder while facing minus-X. Unfortunately,
this didn't turn out to be as easy to do, and when I
finally got n_ legs under - and I - I was a little
leery about this facing minus-X because that would
have put my t_nbilical under the SET, and - and - and p
 Day159 Page501

I felt that when it let go, if my feet went out to

the left, I was liable to do a loop and wind up with
my umbilical around the BET, which was a circumstance
I didn't want to get into. So, I was trying to do
this, looking right, facing the dark, and picking up
the BET. Well, I got it up one time, and I pushed as
hard as I could with not too much results. Whereupon
my feet slipped out from under me, and the SPT and I
decided to have me come back towards the lip of the
FAS, plus-X, and - and go - and - and - I - and both
of us to get back by the FAS lip, whereupon we would
put our feet on the FAS lip and pull in the plus-X
direction.

22 35 29 CDR Well, we gave a couple of mighty heaves that way,

with not too much results. We could see the SAS
wiggle - I mean the SAS beam wing wiggle a few times,
but with not too much success. So the SPT said,
"I will stay anchored here with my feet against the
FAS, pulling in the plus-X direction and you get back
out and lift the BET." Whereupon I got out and I
lifted the BET with a mighty heave and I got it on my
right shoulder, which left me not looking at the SAS
wing. And I gave a mighty heave and the SPT gave a
mighty heave; whereupon, everything went black and I
shot straight up into the air. And as I revolved to
my right, I could see the SAS wing coming at me at a
relatively good clip. But not too fast, but a good,
smart clip. And by the time I got myself all under
control from the whifferdill by pulling against -
towards the plus-X direction on the BET, which I was
tethered to - and came back towards the FAS area -
By the time I settled down frommywhifferdill back
there in the - in the FAS area, the wing had come all
the way up and was fully deployed.

22 36 44 CDR At that point in time, we again took the remaining

slack out of the BET and left it tied, with a slight
amount of tension, to the A-frame - which we have
photographs of that from the inside and continuing
back to the A-frame. And it goes from the A-frame,
over to the FAS lip, out to the upper transport that
it is attached to. And so much for that.

22 37 l0 CDR Question number B - l(b). Request you voice-record

EVA debrief on following items - (b) being visual
observations on quad A. I can see two quads, quad A
F and quad B from the FAS work station, and I could
Page502 Day159

determine absolutely no difference, whatsoever, in

either quad A or quad B. It looked, around the
black packaging that the thrusters actually come
out of, that the paint was beginning to blister off
both packages only being able to see the forward
end - the - the - the minus-X-firing thrusters.
They - both of them look exactly the same. The color
the thrusters: The EV color of the thrusters
themselves - discoloration of them - looked approxi-
mately the same on all the thrusters on both packages
that I could see. So I could see no difference
between quad A and B.

22 38 15 CDR And I will let the SPT debrief l-Alfa from his
point of view.

TIME SKIP

23 00 03 CDR Hello, there, friendly B channel. It's your old CDR

with the Evening Status Report for day 159. Are you
ready for this? Alfa: CDR, 155; SPT, 100; PLT fell
down on the Job today, 210. Bravo: CDR, 4010; SPT,
7218; PLT, 3670. Charlie: CDR, 6.074, 6.071, 6.069;
SPT, 6.641, 6.641, 6.639; PLT, 6.793, 6.795 and 6.790.
Delta: for the CDR, it's a 2/20/2400, 1/05/0250; for
the SPT, it's a 2/17/2300; the PLT did an M092/171
today, so he didn't have any. Echo: Echo for the
CDR is a none; for the SPT, a none; and PLT is a
none. That's the end of the Evening Status Report.
Good evening to you.

23 _7 56 PLT Hello, B channel. This is the PLT with his comments

on M487-3 Bravo, evaluating compartments with certain
habitability parameters. Talk about the wardroom
first. General arrangement and orientation is - was
adequate, I guess. That is, it's adequate from an
arrangement standpoint. Standby. It's adequate
from an arrangement standpoint. It's good for an
orientation; it's in a good place. It's centrally
located as kind of the living area down there. The
arrangement is too close - the eating table is too
close to the wall. Now it's hand_, to be close when
you're trying to reach into food drawers and such,
but the SPT can't reach his food drawers directly,
anyway. If you hang amy trash bags on the walls,
which is a requirement, then they get in the way.
S ¸

Day159 Page503

Other than that it's pretty good; it Just needs to

be a little bigger, and I guess that's the volume
which is the next one. Now I've confused the two;
let me think about it. Oh, on arrangement, then I
guess I'd say that the eating table is pushed too
far to the refrigerator end of the ... down there.
The ceiling/floor proximity is good. Ingress/egress
provisions not special; it's Just a large door, which
is good. As I mentioned previously in another comment
to the ground, the - the large doors - the one-g-type
door's shape and size is - is good in zero g because
you don't move around head first; you move around in
an - essentially in a vertical position. You Just
push off and you go scooting around, either vertical
or semi-sitting. Very good. Trash collection: I
mentioned the trash bags previously. There are some
wet, dry trash in there, but they're only behind the
PLT. Consequently, he's the only guy that uses them.
Other people keep their own trash bags - disposal bags
snapped to the wail. Temporary equipment restraints:
There really are none. We made some out of spring
bungees. Well, there are some of Velcro. You never
have - Just generally speaking, there are never too
many snaps or too much Velcro. Personnel mobility
aids: There are none in there. Restraint devices
we've touched on before. The thigh restraints are
good. Yes, good I think. Good to adequate. The
traingle cutouts in the foot pedestal, I haven't
used; personally, I haven't felt a requirement for
them. The foot restraints, the lifts are made of
too stiff a material. Theyare unwieldy and, conse-
quently, I haven't used them. The thermal comfort
is good; the noise level is good; the illumination -
when we ran power down was naturally - that's not
fair - was a little low. But hidden on the dark side,
ill,,m_nation is a little dim in there. Mainly, I
think, because when you're on the light side, you're
used to the bright light coming in the wardroom window.
And then when you go on the dark side, it se_m_ all
the darker. The waste management compartment - its
general arrangement and orientation, I think, is gen-
erally - is good. Let's make it - let's call it very
good. The volume is about _ight; the ceiling/floor
proximity is good. Ingress/egress is a door ... Trash
collection is very good. Stowage volume and access:
Now the volume is very good; the access - the only
complaint I have is that every morning when we have
to work on the urine drawers is we have to get in that
Page504 Day159

same large, lower odd-shaped compartment for the urine

bags and the urine sample bags.

2J 52 B2 PLT It would be better to have a more regularly shaped

compartment than to have it higher, because you don't
have to work in any compartment in an upright - one-g
upright position. Temporary equipment restraints
again are snaps of Velcro, and they are used; they are
very good; they are mobility aids. We have a couple
of handrails. They are not used as mobility aids;
they are used more as an aid for restraint devices.
The restraint devices: the foot straps, we touched
on thambefore; and the same comment goes for these
as goes for the - the ones at the wardroom table.
Thermal comfort is very good; noise level, very good;
ill,,mlnation, now we can get all three lights on in
there again, is very good. Sleep compartment general
arrangement and orientation: I guess I'm unique when
compared to my two compatriots, in that I was not able
to sleep well in the sleep compartment because, sur-
prisingly, I felt like I was sleeping on a wall. Ap-
parently, I have a personal mental problem, I guess,
but I've not slept in there since about the fourth .-
night. We moved in the workshop; I slept in the for-
ward workshop compartment. The volume is good; the
ceiling/floor proximity is also all right. Ingress/
egress is okay; trash collection is fine; stowage vol-
ume is very good. Temporary equipment restraints:
Those towel holders are excellent. They are outstand-
ing for that type of use; you use it to hold your
clothing on, and it's excellent for that. Temporary
equipment restraints: Quite a bit of - well, a couple
of strips of Velcro would be adequate. Personnel
mobility aids don't apply, as do restraint devices.
Thermal comfort is very good; noise level, very good;
and ill_,mlnation, adequate. Experiment compartment.

23 5h 28 PLT General arrangement: It's a - let me think on this a

minute. Somebody would thinkwe'd do better - someone
else would do better - evaluating, I think, when you're
not used to it. We've been training in this thing for
a year and a half, and some things you come to accept.
I guess I got no comments to make, no suggestions, so
l'd have to give that a very good then. The volume is
all right; ceiling/floor proximity is very good.
Ingress/egress doesn't really apply; it's all right.
Trash collection: You don't make much trash in there,
and we haven't really found a necessity to. There are .f
 Day159 Page505

no trash collection provisions, and I guess we haven't

found a necessity for any. Stowage volume and access:
The ESS drawers are kind of out of the way; I'd have
to give that an adequate. They're out of the way; you
have to go around and bicycle every time you want to
get into something.

23 55 38 PLT Temporary equipment restraints are okay. Personnel

mobility aids: There are none. Restraint devices are
not peculiar. Thermal comfort is - and noise - thermal
comfort, noise level, and illumination are all very
good. Now the forward and dome areas - I don't know
what you really - what we really should be trying to
answer in general arrangement and orientation. It's
all one-g vertical, which is the way you get used to
it in general arrangement. It's all right. The
compartments in which you have to work - it's very
good that we put that film vault on the grid floor
because the work at the film vault - those drawers
are heavy. You pull those drawers in and out, they
work hard; they're difficult to move. All I'm doing
is pointing out the fact that you have to have some
- place to stabilizeyour feet, and we usually have
the triangular shoes, and that means we use the grid.
Volume is quite adequate. Ceiling/floor proximity
doesn't apply. Ingress/egress doesn't really apply.
Trash collection does not apply. Stowage volume and
access: We've had no probl_ma in getting to the dome
lockers, as I mentioned before. That blue ring around
under the water tank is quite handy for maintaining
yourself. The other one - you can always find some-
thing to grab ahold of and hook a hand on for all the
longer you have to be in one of those F523. Temporary
equipment restraints: There, again, we've got snaps
around, some Velcro, and - we need all them. MY pre-
vious comments apply to the - You never have too much
Velcro or too many snaps. Mobility aids are the hand-
rails and we haven't really used them, as we debriefed
earlier, as handrails. As mobility aids, we use them
more as restraint devices. Restraint devices are very
good. Thermal comfort is very good; noise level is
very good, and illllm_nation is a little bit dim.

23 57 5h PLT And I'd give that adequate, but we could certainly use
some more light. The airlock is kind of a nothing but
a passageway. We haven't used that as a working com-
partment except for EVA. So general arrangement orien-
tation: It's all right. The volume is good; the
Page506 Day159

ceiling/floor proximity is sufficient; the cylinder

diameter is good. When you work in there, you can,
in fact, press out, put your shoulders against one
side and your feet against the other side, and stabilize
yourself quite well. Ingress/egress provisions: We
discussed as a whole, and it again doesn't apply. Trash
doesn't apply; stowage volume doesn't apply. Temporary
equipment restraints: I haven't really had the occasion
to use them in there. The other two people can give
you a better handle on that after yesterday's exercise.
Mobility aids doesn't apply; restraint devices doesn't
apply. Thermal comfort doesn't really apply. Noise
level is all right. Ill,,m_nation is very good in there
because they have got 20 - I think 25-watt incandescent
bulbs, and the walls are painted white. And that is
the one place where we have excellent ill1_m_nation.
Now on the MDA/STS: General aids and orientation:
Again it's a cylinder, and things have Just been stuck
to the walls.

23 59 17 PLT Orientation is all right; I've come to learn to accept

it during trainir_. The general arrangement is kind
of helter-skelter and hodgepodge. I have no con-
structive comments to make. I appreciate all the
stuff was put in here kind of helter-skelter, hodge-
podge. It's not good; you come in here and things
are - you have trouble finding things in here. You
come in zero-g and I - as I think ... tend to - when
coming in to the MDA, tend to orient on the ATM. The
volume is very good. It's more than adequate. We've
got plenty of room to move around in here. Actually
more than we need. This wouldn't really have to be
this big anymore.

###

DAY 160 (AM)

O0 00 04 PLT However, we've not had as much problem working in

here as I thought. I thought it would be too large,
and it's not turned out to be such. You can work on
something in the middle of the volume, and still hook
your toes/feet/legs on something else. Ingress/egress
provisions are - where we've got this tunnel at one
end and the airlock in the other. So they're all
right. Trash collection: We haven't really carried
much trash up here. Matter of fact, there are none.
We don't use any. What we do generate, we carry back
down to the experiments area with us. Personnel
mobility aids: There are none, as such, and we
probably haven't really needed any. Well, there are
a few handholds up here, but they're not mobility
aids. They're more stability aids, and again they
fit in _-ith restraint devices. And we need them more
for that.

O00l 01 PLT The thermal comfort: It's been cold up here. That
_ may be unique to our situation. I'm not sure that
it is anymore; it's still cold. The noise level is
satisfactory. It gets high in here when you're run-
ning EREP. We've got coolers running and a couple
other things, and S009 chokes off, and a couple of
pumps running, and the thermal - the noise level can
get a little high. Ill1_m_nation is marginal in here.
I'd have to give that an adequate to poor, I guess,
on il_Jm_nation. And that's the end of my comments.

01 04 45 PLT For the ATM, here's the JOP 12, Angle A block ii.
The reading on detector B when we tweaked it up
was 9000 as opposed to a background of less than lO00.

01 35 44 SPT Tape recorder, the SPT, with another con_nent on ATM

operation. The active region 31, which is - was
quite bright and prominent in H-alpha, also turned
out to be rather bright and prominent in XUV. Even
with the far XUV monitor that we have, it's very
clear. You can pick out - it looks as if it's a
flare, and it's not. So this makes me think that
flare has ruined ... if you can ... in XUV.

01 43 26 PLT Hello, B channel, this is PLT with food for the

night. I'ii send you a report. The breakfast item
75, bread, was - one of the two slices was eaten.
Page508 Day160

For lunch, meal 65, corn was deleted and potato salad
was substituted. All I did was eat. All the snacks
were eaten, except item 62, coffee. Total DELTA
water was plus 1.0; optional salt, zero. That's it.

02 05 20 SPT Okay .... How adaptable are the various compartments

... uses beyond their prime design functions; e.g.,
does the sleep compartment double for off-duty
reading, et cetera?

CDR Well, I don't think that that's a good question.

We haven't really used any of the compartments for
multiple use, except the wardroom.

SPT Which was designed for multiple use.

CDR Yes, which was designed for multiple use.

CDR Yes. Frankly_ we haven't - our schedules have been

such that we really haven't used the bedroom for
reading. I thinkyou have .....

SPT Oh, I like the bed.

CDR Yes.

SPT As a bedroom it functions very nicely.

CDR Yes. Yes, I understand that and - -

02 06 20 SPT ... hiding in that ...

CDR ...

SPT (Laughter)

02 06 29 CDR No, I don't think we have much of an answer to the

question. I - I don't think we have - -

SPT The answer is - -

CDR - - used the compartments for anything other than

what they were designed to be used for.

SPT That's right, we can't answer it.

Day160 Page509

SPT How adequate is the sleep restraint ... for sleeping?

Is it useful for anything other than sleeping? If
so, what?

PLT ...

CDR ...

02 06 50 PLT I think it's been very good for sleeping, I like the
soft elastic restraints, and I wish there was one
more of them. The only other thing that I know of
that we've used it for, is when we ... one cover
over the LCG last night, to let it pick up more heat
on the wall.

SPT Yes. I like the restraint, it's excellent, it really

is.

02 07 16 CDR Yes, I do, too. I like it better than sleeping in in

the Apollo bag. I find that I sleep with all four
positions that I normally sleep in on the ground.
I start out with what you'd call, on my back, and
I'ii roll over to my right side, and sleep with my
right side to the back of the bag for awhile, and
then roll all the way over on my stomach, until my
stomach's at the back of the hag, and then sleep on
my left side, which is exactly what I wanted to be
able to do. Plus, I can assume a more comfortable
position in there, for relaxation, rather than the
one that you assume when you're in zero-g. You relax.
You can move your legs, or arch your back, or do
something with it, and - and it will stay there,
because of the straps, and I find that much more
comfortable, than free floating in the bag.

02 08 09 SPT What non-eatlng instruments have been ... to the

wardroom table? Would a design modification of the
table and its associated restraints be desirable for
any or all uses?

PLT As far as I know, the only other use we've found for
the wardroom table - we've not had the cover back on
the center part of the table, the water dispenser,
at all- I have, on occasion put the cover on my
tray ... usually, we've taken to leaving the covers
off. I have, on occasion, put the cover on my tray
and used it as a desk.
Page510 Day160

SPT ... serves as well for a desk as it does for a table.

02 08 45 PLT Yes, I think if - if we're looking at the ideal

world and we wanted a desk, you'd want a larger
flat area with things on it, with a light, a good
light. And things on it to hold a nmmber of papers
and pencils down while you're using it. You know,
you want your checklist there and your notebook
there and you'd want someplace so that - so you
wouldn't have to hold your hand on it all the time,
which is a problem I have when I'm writing notes
or copying something at this wardroom table.

SPT Pete, you got any comnents?

CDR Yes ...

SPT What sanitation problems have developed, and how have

you dealt with them? The only problems we've had,
has been the spattering of food in the wardroom and
we've dealt with them by assiduous and frequent
cleaning.

PLT Right.

SPT What is the most disconcerting personal hygiene

problem you have encountered?

PLT Like my partner's breath.

02 09 41 SPT I was going to say my partner's odor from the other

end of his body (laughter).

02 09 47 CDR Actually, I haven't really encountered any problems.

PLT No, we really haven't.

SPT No, it's very good.

PLT No ... seen too many ... think it would be the

hardware. How much ...

02 l0 01 SPT I look at this kind of like - like camping out. I

mean, if you went to a camp ... You got to keep the
place in good shape, you got to keep the deck swept,
the walls cleaned out, the windows clean. We do the
same thing here.
 Day106 Page511

PLT The only thing is, I think, you don't - you don't
clean windows and wlpe down the walls and vacuum
clean the ... really without ...

SPT The hardware's been adequate. The only thing that

I Just asked the ground for today - something to
clean the windows with.

PLT You take pictures ... one window, and really it's hard
to keep it clean enough. You need some kind of solvent
to cut the grease off the windows.

CDR ...

SPT I agree. I think we need better detergents all

around. We've got water, and we've got biocide to
wipe down with. They design what we holler for.
We need the water ...

CDR I think we should have, in the wardroom ... solid

ceiling and pay a little bit more attention to
f making all the walls smoother, because I don't think,
in zero-g, no matter how we design the food, we're
going to prevent splattering.

PLT ... 99 ...

02 ii 13 CDR Yes and - yes and the - because the wardroom is

... after the chores, llke Paul says, but it's a
difficult place to clean. It's because bubbles get
into the grid ... and ... it's hard to see.

02 ll 36 PLT ... wardroom ...

SPT ... already put in the ATM chair. We adjust it for

each crewman and should ... with it.

PLT ...

02 ll 52 SPT If you use the chair anywhere other than in the ATM,
where you put the ...

CDR No, so far, we don't use the chair anywhere. And,

too, we sort of came to a cow,non adjustment. I
don't use the chair, and I don't believe anybody
else does.

PLT No ...
 f

Page512 Day106

02 12 l0 CDR If we were to do it again, I think we would know

better how to angle the ATM panel at the chair, and
I think I'd really make the chair more comfortable,
I think. And have a cushioned form fit ... sort of
thing and if you're cocked at the right direction,
... panel at the right direction, then you wouldn't-
strain as you sat in the chair to operate. I
personally feel a beck a lot better than up ...
having to operate the thing locked ...

PLT I haven't been using it either, lately.

SPT ...

PLT I hook my feet, into my - sit in it like this and

you hook your feet into those two bars ...

CDR Oh, I pull - yes, yes.

PLT ... all day. I have to get ... but the chair, even
with the - -

CDR ...

02 13 04 PLT - - the chair even with the ...

CDR ...

SPT How comfortable are your ...

02 IB 18 SPT Hot coffee!

CDR (Laughter)

PLT Very good (laughter).

SPT ... hot coffee.

SPT Were they sufficiently ...

CDR Clothes! Darn it! Yes, I got - we got clothes

running out of our ears.

PLT ... except for the triangle shoes ...

CDR Triangle shoes and the other shoes, both of them are
not holding up. /_
f
Day160 Page513

PLT The toes are abrading. They're wearing out

because you use your toes a lot. You drag your
toes over the ... to slow you down and - It's like
a brake on a wagon. You drag your right foot if
you want to swerve to the right a little bit.

02 14 01 CDR Not only that, but it is a pain in the neck, to me,

taking these triangle shoes off and on with all the
laces. I'd like zippers on - something else on
them -

SPT I think I'd ...

CDR Yes, I also ... to heck with the Hushpuppies. I

thought that the kind of hard ...

SPT Would you still like ... laces ...

PLT Yes; okay. That's my point.

CDR No, wait - you're - are you Justifying laces because

you like laces or because you thought they were the
f best thingfor support?

SPT It's the best thing for support.

02 14 35 CDR Well, you ought to specify support ...

PLT ... we ought to get zipper ones ....

SPT Okay. But the laces are not ...

CDR ...

PLT ... terrific recormnendations for the clothes.

SPT ... big objection ...

02 14 57 CDR Well, there's one - there's one thing that I - I -

The only long sleeved thing that I have is this
Jacket. And I would prefer a - a lighter shirt
that had long sleeves. We've gone through some
pretty ... temperature ranges .... never high
humidity ... from oscillating ... about 58 in the
MDA and about ...

SPT Okay....
Page514 Day160

02 15 51 CDR Oh, I think there are very few tabs that are ...
that we didn't anticipate.

02 16 00 PLT ... you do ask other people to help you .... quite
clear ... wardroom.

02 22 34 CDR ... I'd get EV-1 WARNING light until it came up - the
pressure. Now we don't get it and we haven't gotten
it since it wouldn't - we got no flow that day when
we were trying an EVA and the crewmen had no flow and
we've never gotten a WARNING light since then.

CC According to what we saw in the flow there, it looked

like you may have tried both pumps. Is that correct?

CDR Yes. I tried PRIMARY and we got no WARNING light,

and then I went to SECONDARY and got no WARNING
light.

CC Indications down here did show flow although I'm not

so sure they got up to full spec value.

CDR Well, here, we'll go turn one of them on right now

and you look at it for a minute. We'll let it run for
a second.

CC Okay.

02 23 00 CDR Okay. That's the SUS 1 PRIMARY PUMP.

CC Okay. We're showing about 250-pounds-an-hour flow.

CDR Okay; well let me Just - let me - Can I turn off

SUS 2 for a second and then turn it back on again?

CC Hold up on that. I guess we want to leave SUS 2

alone since it's running okay.

CDR All right. Hey, I Just - I don't understand. If

SUS 1 is FLOW, why we didn't get the momentary trip
on the FLOW sensor on the EV-1 CAUTION and WARNING.

CC Okay. I see you've turned it down. Is that correct?

CDR Say again.

02 22 ll CC You've shut system 1 down. Is that right?

 Day160 Page515

CDR Yes, but like I said, I don't understand. The other

day when I did the checkouts on it, the CAUTION and
WARNING was working fine now. The output's LSU's on
there or I wouldn't know whether we're really getting
flow through the whole loop or not.

CC Okay. We'll - Let us think about that one awhile.

02 24 40 CDR Okay. It could be it's - I mean that's a double SUS -

you know, the thing folded up the other day and the
CAUTION and WARNING went out. Now maybe if it really
did freeze up, it did something to that ...

CC Hey, while ...

02 33 l_ CDR Hello, friendly B channel, this is the old CDR with

an amendment to the CDR's menu for today. Add - add,
please add two cans of butter cookies. I say again,
please add two cans of butter cookies for the CDR's
menu. They was _immy with the vanilla ice cream.
Good night.

TIME SKIP

ll iI 20 SPT B channel, the day 160 PRD readings are as follows:

The experiment compartment, 44023; the minus-Z SAL,
18102; and, in the pilot's sleep compartment, 06121.

TIME SKIP

13 05 52 PLT Hello, tape recorder. I'm a little bit late with

the first 20-minute report; it's been an hour. But
another requirement, and Charlie 7 presently reads
36, B6 degrees. That's all for now.

13 ll 02 PLT Hello, tape recorder; for the EREP people on the

VTS, I put the new magazine on the DAC this
morning. On camera checkout, I'd let it advance
for l0 seconds, turn the camera off, at which time
we'd get in that old thing of the camera continuing
to run. Not take pictures, Just the motor - the
motor in the camera continued to run. It did this
three times. What I did then was take the magazine
_ off, put it back on, and now it works normally. It
Page516 Day160

- it'll take up one or two frames after you finish

taking it, and then it functions normally Just like
the other one did. End of message.

13 21 15 CDR Hello, tape recorder. On the S191 meter reading,

Charlie 7 is reading 38 percent at 13:21 Zulu.

13 24 56 PLT Hello, tape recorder. Friendly tape recorder, pass

this on to the friendly EREP people, if you would,
please. This double clipboard that we use on the
VTS is unsatisfactory when trying to use the whole
flight book. Now msybe using the whole flight book
on it is unsatisfactory. I - I think I'ii try
working on something, but while we are up here, you
guys ought to be working on something on the ground,
too. Because what you do, is - you got to pull the
whole book loose from - from the clip and then flip
pages and then get it hooked back under. And that
big, thick book is hard to hook under those little
clipheads. Since the clips are made to take a large
book, they are quite stiff. At] in all, it's - it's
not a very good arrangement. So work on something
and we'll work on something up here. End of message.

SPT B channel, this is the SPT at 13:25 with today's

solar observations, more for practice than anything
else, because you gt_s can see H-Alpha on the ground.
Active region 31 appears to have a good arced fila-
ment system in between its two Sun spots. And it's
by far the brightest plages now visible on the Sun.
The white light display on the XUV SLIT clearly
shows the large leader spot and the smaller follower
spot. It looked, on H-Alpha, as though the follower
spot were multiple, but the white light display
does not show that to be the case. End of message.

13 29 50 SPT Also on H-Alpha, the active region 32 now appears

to have another active region behind it. It's
coming over the east limb at about 255. Small,
hard to see, but it's new and it's probably the third
brightest thing on the Sun. The white light corona-
graph has changed gradually, but quite a bit, since
we started looking at it. It's simplified and now
is very faint, very flat except for a - a rather
large simple streamer in the northeast quadrant
where active region 31 is and another streamer,
s_11er but Just as bright, in the southwest where
active region 18 has gone over the limb. And that's r
it. There isn't another thing on the coronagraph.

people on I_3S-1. It has been completed; it took
about i hour. Sample number 6 was the only one in
which a stick did break. I looked at them, but I
missed the scribed marking on that one because the
lighting is abominable in some parts of the workshop.
Then I had to cut it with my trusty Swiss A_v_ knife,
so you may have some Swiss Army knife germs in that
bottle. The other ones went well. For sample num-
ber 15, I substituted - the rear left food disposal
well in the wardroom for the LBNP. That's been a
pretty dirty place, so I thought I'd like to get a
sample of that. Oh, yes, and for sample number 9,
I substituted the interior of the M171 metabolic
analyzer hose. And that's the end of the message
except that the vials are extremely crowded in those
cans. It's very difficult to put back as many as
you took out especially when the Velcro falls off the
bottles, which it did in a couple of cases. End of
message.

There is one still missing out of there. However,
there is one rip tether on my suit, and I'm going to
see if I can't locate the other. And there is a rip
tether on the SPT's suit. SO, before we leave, we _ll
take one of those, after our next EVA, and put it back
in 422. So you'll have a full complement rip tethers

DAY 161 (AM)

00 55 51 SPT Fortunately, I zoomed it in, and the flashes went

away, but I was left with a hemispherical, darkened
area in the display. The size of the - the circle
, is the size of the TV screen; however,the center of
I it is the very top of the screen, so that there's a
semicircle from the top to the middle of the displs_,
which is darkened. You can see the Sun through it.
It's as though you were seeing it through a circular
piece of dark glass. It's there in all zooms in all
roll orientations. I closed the door and reopened it
and can't get rid of it. I'd like some suggestions
on what that might be. The only other problem -
S056 appeared to hang up the FILTER 3 during an
ACTIVE l, LONG mode. It performed well in the PATROL,
SHORT, immediately thereafter. And active region 31
appears very bright and dramatic tonight. It appears
to have a filament going into the follower spot. And
that's all for tonight. Good night.

02 18 34 CDR Hello, friendly tape recorder. If you didn't get my

last word on our changes with respect to lockers,
please ask me to give my dissertation again tomorrow
night when you send up the evening questions. Other-
wise, it will be a mystery to you forever - what we
have, in fact, done to the lockers. Good night.

02 19 08 CDR Channel, if you are not interested in what we have

done_ and it becomes a mystery, the question is:
Which mystery will be greater, what we have done to
the lockers or where does the PLT sleep?

02 33 06 PLT Hello, B channel. This is the PLT with a debriefing

of the last ATM run of the day. After the scheduled
operations were finished, I went front and center
and performed a building block 16. I used a roll of
plus 10,700, which, for all practical purposes ...
as we view it, this puts our coronal event of interest
down at about 4 O'clock, but it also kept the filament
streamer in fairly good field of view up between l0
and Y1; that is why I put it down there. Now, we had
some problems with S056 on the first performance on
Page530 Day161

building block 16. I don't know how many times it

flipped through, but it did hang up on FILTER 3. I
terminated that, started the next, and action was
normal. I watched it do about four times through
that; and then, while I wasn't watching, it apparently
hung up in FILTER 1. Now, I Just terminated that,
and started a PATROL, NORMAL. It's - We'll keep you
posted
onthat. I

02 34 19 PLT In the white light coronagraph on board, this - that -

The region given is 290 - is - as I mentioned before,
a fairly well-defined, pretty narrow streamer that
extends off on the field of view. So I don't really
know - And it's fairly strong, but goes off the field
of view of the monitor here. However, but I could
observe no event, no transients at all in the corona
observing it for - let's say, on the order of a minute.
That's the end of the message.

02 36 19 PLT Hello, B channel. For ATM people, I'm going to put

about 30 seconds' worth of white light coronagraph
on the tape recorder now.

02 41 56 PLT Hello, friendlyB channel. This is the H - cor-

rection, the ATM film status at the end of this day.
H-alpha has 11485; S056, 3986; S082A, 186; S082B,
944; S052, 4345; and S054 is 3150. End of message.

02 58 33 CDR Hello, friendly tape recorder. The old CDR at 02:58

with the evening questions. Okay. Question num-
ber i: Describe color of parasol as observed during
EVA. It is the consensus of opinion of both the
CDR and the SPT, who viewed it, that it is essential-
ly the same color as it was when it was deployed,
except it looks a little faded and perhaps not as
lustrous, a little flat. But the color is essential-
ly the same. Question number 2: You have gotten
a little confused with a statement that was made by
us earlier, and I'll try and straighten it out.
Have you cleaned your hygiene kits? Should we re-
supply any items for SL-3 and 4? Just hold i second.

03 00 12 CDR To go back to question number 2, friendly tape re-

corder. Have you cleaned your hygiene kits? Should
we resupply any items for SL-3 and 4? In locker $935,
the lower locker in the commander's bedroom, is the
six kits for SL-3 and 4 and the resupply kit. Now
that resupply kit, all the Alpha Keri hand lotion
 - Day161 Page
531

tubes ruptured from the heat and so did the Alpha

Keri in the SL-3 and & crew kits, also. Along with
that, the heat was intense enough that it - whatever
liquid was in the antiperspirant has been cooked out
of it. And also the shaving cream is kind of hard.
So the answer to your question is, I think you should
start from zero with anything that was cream or liquid
I that was in the hygienekits that were stowed in
$935_ because they pretty well got wiped out by heat.

03 01 21 CDR Three: Regarding double ... problem, we have a

proposed fix using ... in a ..., if you are inter-
ested. Yes, we are interested. Please send us a
TWX.

CDR Four: When urine separator filter was removed,

could you see what was blocking the filter? Did
the centrifuge have urine in it? There was no
visible blockage of the urine filter by any material
that we could see. And, no, the centrifuge did not
have urine in it when we changed it out. Five:
Where in the forward compartment does the PLT sleep?
I wish we knew the answer to that question, friendly
-- tape recorder. He Just disappears through the ex-
periment hatch every evening and reappears at ll:00
next morning.

CDR I will say that he does carry his "sleeping machine"

Thank you very much. That is the end of - ... the
general questions for this evening. Night, all.

03 07 54 CDR Okay, friendly B channel. This is the CDR again,

and are you really ready for this one? This is for
the stowage people and anybody else that may be
interested. In the course of the conversation one
evening, when doing an M487, in discussing the merits
of the wardroom, we came to the conclusion that the
trash lockers were not very well organized for each
man to handily put little bits and pieces of trash
Page532 Day161

in a trash locker without leaving his place of eating,

while preparing ... and generally working at his spot
in the wardroom. Therefore, we came up with a quick
fix. And the fix is as follows: We have swapped
some locker doors - -

ll 16 05 SPT Good morning, B channel. The PRD readings for the

day 161 are: at the minus-Z SAL, 18109; experiment
compartment, _018; and in the pilot's bedroom, 06130.

13 25 25 PLT Hello, B channel. Pass the ... of this motley bunch

that we have noticed a tendency on all three urine
drawers that when you change out the urine bag in the
morning, almost invariably the urine receiver hose
will come out of it's holder in the back end of the
drawer and hook around behind it. So that when you go
to use it the first time after that, it hooks behind
it, and you have to open the drawer and restow it -
It's just - will work for them that after you install
the bag you have to check to make sure the hose is
back in it's little retainer holder in the back there.
That's all.

13 37 39 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 13:37 reporting

on housekeeping 28 Lima. For the stowage people, a
consumables inventory of urine disposal bags: In
compartment E, Echo 622, about one-quarter of them
are gone. In H 835, about one-quarter of them are gone.
In $925, that - that locker is full. Current rate
of consumption there is about one per day. We may
have used a couple extras there, but I don't know why.
Disposal bags: In wardroom 705, slightly more than
half of those are gone. Wardroom 710 and wardroom 711
are intact and will remain so. And rate of disposal
bags has been higher than it should; it's been a good
one per day. However, we've recently installed trash
lockers in convenient locations around the wardroom
for each crewman. We expect to increase the eonsump-
tion of trash bags to probably 6 to 8 per week and
reduce the disposal bag usage hopefully to one every
 - Dayi_i p_ge

2 days. Of trash bags, all the lockers listed are

full - that is, listed on page 5-1 in the stowage
book - All are full except for wardroom 753, which is
about one-quarter used. We have three-quarters of
that locker remaining. End of message.

13 48 56 SPT B channel, on the housekeeping 7 Delta, the ATM

i C&D water reservoir is essentially full; the bladder
is bunched up between the FULL and DUMP marks on the
tank. The rest of the tank is filled with water.
And both of the SWS reservoirs are full. There are
very few bubbles in any of these reservoirs. Those
that are present in the ATM C&D are very small bubbles
and they are very evenly dispersed throughout the
entire fluid, giving it a very weird and wonderful
appearance. End of message

PLT Yeaa!

14 17 13 CDR And while we're sitting here waiting to start - the

secrets of success on that S191 cooler is the C-7
start temperature. We are starting with start
temperature about 35 percent now, and it ziggies
right on up as soon as you bring on 191 POWER to
about 45. And then as soon as you turn the cooler
on, it takes about 4 minutes for it to come off-scale
high. And then it starts at i00 percent, and it
just races right on down to 30. And, for your infor-
mation, we do not get the S191 READY light until it's
dropped to 43 percent.

PLT Which is about where it stays, huh? No.

CDR No, it goes to 30. It drops to 30.

14 30 51 CC While you got a blank spot here, we'd like you to

leave the TACS enabled for this dump coming up after
the maneuver.

PLT Okay.

16 ii 46 SPT Okay, friendly B channel, the SPT with the 16:00 ATM
debriefing. I tried to show you some white light
coronagraph, as well as H-alpha on the VTR show.
The outstanding figure on the coronagraph is an
extremely bright, extremely skinny coronal streamer
that exits from about the area where the surge is
observed, and goes clear out the edge of our scope,
unlike any other streamer that I think l've observed
while we've been up here. Something - there's no
active region that I can see in H-alpha, in that
area. And the prominence is squat, mushroom-shaped,
and a little hard to observe. We do see some material
- heading off from the prominence, not directly
radially, but northward. And when I say heading off,
I don't know whether it's moving or in which direction,
but it - it's sitting out there seoarated from the
prominence. Active region 31 is still the bright-
est thing on the disk. End of message.

16 40 22 SPT Th_s is for ATM. More random - one more random

observation, which is probably either fake or nothing
new, but I'm trying to write down, so I can tell you
everything I see. When you're looking at H-alpha ...
H-alpha 2, you notice a number of large light areas.
And they usually seem to be in advance of the protec-
tive ... And then if you turn the contrast high and
the brightness down low, the whole Sun becomes a
pattern of either bright or dark. With the bright -
(music) the bright area seems broad, connected to-
gether, and always near the active regions, imbedded
in them. I don't know if this is of any significance
at all, but maybe you didn't see it on the Dhotography,
and maybe you've known it about it all along.

17 55 05 PLT Hello, friendly tape recorder. This is the PLT for

the ATM people, the performance of JOP 2 Charlie at
the 17:22 session today. I couldn't really see any
bright H-alpha spots out there. I picked out - used
my imagination, made some of a couple of brights.
They were very, very close to the limb, and I used
that to key on. Essentially, all the SLIT alignments
were pretty much tangent to the - were parallel to
and tangent to the limb and slightly in.

20 40 08 CDR Hello, friendly B channel; the ATM pass. Let me

make a suggestion on these network 12 building blocks.
In order to really find a network cell again, as I
said, I was in a kind of a poor area, and to get back
to it, it would be a good idea if you picked a time
to assign those JOPs when a star was available at the
beginning of the day or through the night period in
Page
544 Day161

the beginning of the day, in order to assure that

you could get back to the same roll. Now my star
has not been available until 42 into the period and
it updated about 70 or so arc seconds. And that's a
reasonable amount. And, well, I think we could get
a little bit more than that. So it - it really
doesn't go too well. It really does wander a little
in roll without that star tracker on. So I suggest
that, if possible, on these chromospheric network
things, to get good pointing - or on any of the ones
that require repolnting on the next day's pass - that
you don't assign those unless you've got a star avail-
able, so that you always update it in roll when you
come over into sunlight, if you can.

21 02 18 PLT Hello, channel B. (Music) For the TV people, tell

them that when you're riding the bike, the bicycle -
We're doing TV-9 right now. On the bicycle, you're
unloaded from gravity, and everyone rides right up
to the top, so that their head is almost on the
ceiling on the overhead. And, therefore, to keep the
lights out of the field of view, you can't keep the
guy's head in it. So, that's just the way it is; you
got it weak. I had to turn out some of the lights
for TV-9, plus you don't get all of his head in any-
way. If we want to get all of his head, then I got
to turn almost all the lights out.

experiment MIB1-2, the stationary litter chair. And
the starting time is 21:40.

22 07 14 PLT Hello, tape recorder, this is the PLT debriefing the

M131-2 run. The answer to question 1 is - it is most
difficult without the gravity vector. I get confused
because the - Well, the angle is fairly small. It
is almost unnoticeable in zero g. Number 2, the
answer is no. Number 3, the answer is no; 4 is no;
5 is yes. No additional comments or observations.

22 34 43 CDR Hello, B channel; this is the CDR; building block 7,

active region 37. T_e ACTIVE i, LONG, S056 is hung
up. This time it ... in position 5 on its second
step through. So I'm going to go ahead and stop it.
I got a READY light; we'll go back and do the con-
trol shortly as it calls for. Also, he advised that
SO52, the white light coronagraph, I could not
get started in building block 6. I had a - I had
a READY light; I would hit the START button; I
would get no OPERATE light, no frame countdown. I
tried that twice, going back to STOP and getting
_- a READY light, started it - First, you get a frame
countdown; I called up the DAS COMMAND to start it.
That would put out the READY light, but not bring
on the OPERATE, or the frame counter would not count
down. And I am now going to finish this off and
troubleshoot with the malf procedures.

22 39 36 CDR Okay, B channel, I went back to Sun center, fired

up the S052, got a READY light, hit the START, and
the OPERATE light came on im_diately. Then, at
about 5 seconds, it went out and the frame counter
is not counting.

22 41 38 SPT B channel, SPT with a ... comment and confession. The

head on my windup razor became so painful to use, due
to nicking of the - of the head - I don't know how it
was caused - that I went into the resupply kit and took
the head off the razor in there. There's nothing wrong
with the windup part of the razor, but the head needs
to be resupplied. On the same subject, I have dis-
covered that I can't get more than one good shave
out of a blade. I have the Wilkinson kind, but when
I normally can get I0 or 15, 20 shaves on the ground,
I can only get one; the second one is quite painful.
I think it's because you can't clean the blade prop-

erly; the stuff dries in there. So I would suggest

to those on the longer missions who favor blade
razors, that you allow them to resupply one blade for
every time they plan to shave. End of message.

22 42 47 PLT Hello, B channel, here's a little hot skinny for you

on S052 white light coronagraph. We went into white
light coronagraph Malfunction Procedure 3-Alfa.
Block 1 gave us something of a start because it
starts off by saying, "After first exposure has
been completed," and we have never gotten any
indication of a first exposure being completed.
However, we went to the fourth block to the right,
which sent us to block 9. The answer to that was
yes, so it sent us to block 10, which sent us to
block ll, and there we sit. Thank you.

He told you he was going to drink an apple drink on
yesterday's menu. However, it takes apple drinks
overnight to reconstitute. Therefore he did not get
it on yesterday's menu. You can delete that extra
apple drink from yesterday's menu and add it to

13 24 27 PLT B channel, this is for the Earth terrain camera people.

I have the black and white film loaded on the spare
magazine and in the camera. And when I connect the
vacuum hose, I get a noise out of the camera. The
only reason for which - could be that there is a
small leak somewhere between this particular film
magazine and the frame. I am going to disconnect
the vacuum hose, reconnect it Just before I begin
taking pictures and operate that way. Meanwhile, I
thought you ought to know. End of message.

13 51 55 SPT B channel, SPT at 13:52 with an anomaly report on the

ATM. And this is not the first occurrence. The
CDR was doing JOP 6 and rolling the canister at HIGH
RATE, times i, when suddenly he got a glitch of the
fine Sun sensor, which threw the canister-pointing
about 1/2 a solar radius out from Sun center. His
UP there was reading 460 something. It was a oneshot,
and it stopped. And he points out that the MANUAL
POINTING CONTROL switch was in IHHIBIT position.
He continued his roll, then manually pointed back
to Sun center. The wedges zeroed, and we're pressing
on from there. This is the - similar to the thing
that happened to the SPT very early on in the mission.
When I was operating in the LIMB [?], and it hurled
the pointing far enough off to reverse the FSS, and
we though we had a bad primary FSS for a 10ng time.
Like you to look into it. End of message.

13 59 04 SPT Channel B, for the stowage people. We have restowed

two utility cables from W751 and one utility cable -
from I'm not sure where - that was rigged to the

in locker dome _0 along with the one that was there.
So Captain Bean will find four utility cables in
D440 if he needs them. End of message.

CC Affirm.

PLT Wonder what they're on? That's interesting. Could be -

Anybody got an opinion on that?

CDR Well, they're obviously not on the lens because we

don't have the lens on, and those spots were on there
the other day.

PLT Well, but there's glass in between there.

CDR Yes, the color wheel.

PLT No, I'm talking about that whole gray thing.

CDR Yes, but that's not what those spots are on.

PLT How do you know what the spots are on?

CDR Because the spots were there the other day when we
were operating out the window with the TV lens.

12 54 37 PLT You know, we can try to wipe those spots off from
that. Let's not do it now; I'ii check it after this

CDR There's no way you're going to get those spots off.

PLT How do you know? I could be on the glass right here,

on the view port.

12 54 46 CDR It's not. I tell you, it was on the out-the-window

view the other day. I remember playing with it to look
at the ice crystal.

12 54 52 PLT Then why don't they show up on the indoor ones?

PLT The stations are all good now.

CC Tremendous.

CDR At least from our point of view up here, it looks like

you're going to have good data on that tape.

13 07 13 CDR Normally, we wouldn't have had a seven-rod extension

to S073 out the minus-Z SAL, but seeing we've got that,
even with two rods, you can see it out the wardroom
window.

CC That so?

CDR Take some suitable pictures of it for the PIs. And

speaking of that, the seven-rod extension went very
easy. You'd be interested in noting that the wire
buckle had memory in it going out, so I got about
half the rods out and then it had memory wanting to
come back in for the next half of the rods.

CC Roger.

PLT Oh.

14 06 2_ PLT Hello, B channel. This is the PLT. This note is

for the stowage and configuration people. And the
M487 people may also be interested in it. In - On
the inside of the door to locker W742 was a Beta
cloth pouch that held extra pens, pencils, and
markers. This thing was always in the way. It
interfered with proper closing of the door and,
consequently, was getting pretty well beat up on
the top. Now that - because that is the flight
data file locker that is most used. Therefore,
to get around it .,this pouch has been moved from
742 to WV43. End of message.

15 17 49 SPT Friendly B channel, the SPT at 15:15 [sic], debriefing

the ATM pass. The ground reported a - a surge on the
limb at 0101.0. Up here, I can't find any evidence of
activity in that particular part of the Sun. (Music)
The only prominence we see on the west limb is at
about 050. Roll is about minus 7800 with the prominence
on the bottom of the screen. Both that prominence and
the east limb prominence is around 3 and up above to
310 and 320. They're visible in H-Alpha 2, zoomed
out. They're bright enough to be seen, even with a lot
of disk in the picture, which is interesting and good
for training. That was with the brightness turned
all the way up and the contrast pretty far down. Just
at sunset, I went back and looked at active region 37,
and the shape of the plage had changed somewhat and
there'was a definite brightening in the center of the
easternmost proj - plage due to falling spots. I
mention this only to verify that you can see definite
changes in the form and brightness of these active
regions in less that one sunside pass if - if they're
active. That's it.

15 19 17 SPT (Music) No, that's not it. One more general debriefing.
You know, every time we enter the South Atlantic anomaly,
or a horn thereof, the PMT goes up and rings the bell
and we get excited. I think it's - and the - the
 Day163 Pag_5_1

reason we do is because we've never seen any level

approaching 550 or 600, other than apparently during
these passes, and it really makes us wonder whether
the - our ability to discern X-ray activity on the
Sun has been overrated and whether we really have
a tool there for - for detecting an X-ray flare.
One of the biggest problems we have at present and
l in prospectivedeciding whether an increase in PMT
count is due to local or solar radiation. That's
all.

15 25 32 PLT Hello, B channel. This is - I think I already

reported this; but, Just in case, pass to the stowage
people that the heat exchanger plate servicing

15 17 50 PLT Hello, friendly B channel. This is the PLT with a

short note for the configuration and the photo people.
The Teflon inserts that go in drawer B, drawer Bravo,
to hold the cassettes are continually coming out by
moving toward the aft end of the drawer. This was
hopefully alleviated today by putting a strip of gray
tape along the underside of the drawer such that the
inserts cannot move aft. That's all.

15 18 41 PLT B channel, this is for the photo people. It is an

early photo status report, which I - l'm giving them
now, because we had two jams, and we're a little bit
out of configuration. Was directed to use transport
03 for sIg0B prep/Ml51. That transporter jammed and
I probably didn't get the ETC prep. That's the one
I noticed when I was done and had the same reading
as when I started. And it was out of business. So
that the reading on that is - the supply was Charlie
India 25. Percent remaining on the supply was 67.
The takeup was MTII, and _ii is stowed with what-
ever film managed to get onto it. Okay, then I
reloaded supply Charlie India 25 on another transporter,
and I got a new takeup reel, MT05, out of stowage.
And I shot up Charlie India 25 during the EREP pass.
So that the next line in the status report will read
Charlie India 25, 00, MT05, and that is now stowed
in the B locker. The other transport that jammed
was transport 05, which we were directed to shoot
up and which I shot up over the Western U.S., but
which was jammed, and don't know whether I got any-
thing on that. That line reads Charlie India 08,
00, Charlie India 07. Both those jams have been
cleared, and the film drawer is now in essentially
the configuration called for in this morning's pad.
End of message.

15 21 12 PLT Incidentally, on that photo message, the only deviation

from - from the proper configuration is that we've
already shot up transporter 06 and it is in slot A-3,
but it's empty. End of message.

15 26 27 SPT Friendly B channel, this is the SPT at 15:30 with the

answer to a question on MI31-1. I was asked whether
the readings on the PLT indicating "none" in his last
run were for real or not, or whether l'd perhaps
 Day164 Page
587

made a mistake in entering them. They were for real.

(Sneeze) A reading of none means that he held
both hands, which means that he didn't detect any
motion. And I'm going to read the results from
that last run, so you'll see how many nones he
really had. At step l, his reports were left, none,
none, none, none, none, left, all of which were
wrong. At step 4, none, right, left, none, none,
left, none, none. The two lefts were correct. Step 8,
none, none, none, left, right, right, none, left.
The second right was correct. Step i0, right,
left, left, none, none, left, left, right. They were
all correct, except the nones. And in step 18, he
had no nones and all correct. End of message.

16 06 44 PLT Hello, B channel. The rotating litter chair today

has a good nitrogen pressure of 1175.

16 06 58 PLT That goes to the MI31 people, MI31. And here he is,
fresh out of the rotating litter chair after a hard
bout with 0GI. The SPT, Joe Kerwin. Here's Joey!

16 07 18 SPT Yes, fans, after a most exhilarating experience

going around and around, l'd like to answer the
debriefing questions. Did I have a sense of rotating
during this test? 0nly at 18. Did the line target
ever move in a direction. Yes; remember the old
left/right, 1-second to 2-second cycling? It was
not present in step i. I noticed it in step 4, and
it influenced the responses through step i0; and,
at step 18, I didn't notice it. Additional comments
and observations: Even in step 18, I felt that the -
the 0GI responses were not marked, that they were
being reinforced by seat-of-the-pants, which is
pretty definite in step 18. And my general feeling
is that the 0GI response is not as clean-cut as it
is on the ground. End of message.

16 08 ii SPT And with the MS coming up, all I have to say, Dutch
Graybiel, is - and Dr. Miller, "Nos morituri te
salutamus."

16 29 43 SPT Friendly tape recorder, this is your SPT, amazingly

still alive and well after the MS run at 20 rpm.
f
Page588 Day164

For the MI31 Pls, I can only say, "Amazing. At

20 rpm, again, there were no symptoms." There was a
great sense of speed and a large amount of vertigo
on - making the movement - in other words - annoying
sense of coriolis. But no symptoms whatsoever of
motion sickness. Off the top of my head, there are
two hypotheses for this that I can think of. One
is that the otolith input is what creates the
symptoms of motion sickness in one g, and it's absent
up here. The other is that the blood circulating
level of sympathomimetic and/or parasympatholytic
hormones is much higher up here than it is on the
ground and is suppressing those. That I considered
less likely, and we'll have to await the results of
the blood and urine studies that we're doing.

18 40 29 PLT Hello, tape recorder. This is the PLT with the de-
briefing from the MI31 runs. On OGI first. Question
number i: Sense of rotating? Yes; during the level 18
accelerations, I did have a visceral feel for acceler-
ation. Number 2: Did the align target ever move in a
direction other than expected? At level 4, with this
left/right jitter and also at level - level 4 toward
the end - about the last four sequences, I guess, the
arrow once again appeared to be moving vertically up-
ward. No additional comments.

18 41 13 PLT On the MS portion of the PLT's 131 run, I'm now about
5 minutes postrun. The only symptom we came up with
was one - what? Gastric - epigastric awareness?

SPT ... epigastric awareness.

PLT Oh.

SPT Okay?

18 41 32 PLT A foggy temp and a - for a general body warmth and an epi-
gastric awareness. I have this general suggestive
feeling that I don't want to smoke around real bad.
However, it definitely is not malaise, II. So I
don't know what to say about it. It's the considered
opinion of the SPT and I - we got one more run at

times that - trying to get more detail out of the
coronagraph by rolling. And it may be something you
can see down there, but I can't see it up here. On
the business of when the H-Alpha display begins to
move at sunset, I think we may have faked ourselves
out here by letting our Beta angle get too high.
What - what happens now is the display doesn't begin
to move until the instant that day ends and night
begins as far as the computer is concerned, at which
time it takes off. And I think what we are seeing is
the beginning of the dump maneuver and not the atmos-
phere. I think that, previous to this, when the at-
mosphere took over before the dump maneuver started,
we did have some distortion, but I can't give you the
exact numbers now. Signed. End of message.

01 32 42 CDR Hello, friendly B channel. In answer to the evening

questions, general message 2019 Bravo, M553 operations.
The three possibilities for the E-beam gun cut-off of
sample 4 are (I) High filament chamber pressure would
cause the other current circuit to cut off regard-
less. However, 0.i to 1.0 should be permissible, and
we had 0.01 and we were way within limits. (2) The
beam could have prematurely cut the sample-forming
sting, which removed the power from the EB gun. I
determined that later not to be the case. It did, in
fact, cut off prematurely from its other original
problem that it had been doing - cutting off early
and the 5 kVA kicking off. And I finally got that
ball to go. And ... 3, does the ... circuit on the
back of a wheel not work in contact? That's not
correct. I've got about five of them to go, but they
don't go like they're advertised. The sting withdraws,
the gun shuts off, and the ball stays right where it
is.

SPT ... this thing going open?

 Page592 Day165

CDR And (b), request that you verify that you were operating
with the work chamber and bulkhead vent valves OPEN,
and not in the VENT position. And that is, in fact,
correct. The bulkhead and work chamber valves were
both OPEN, not in VENT. I left them in VENT last
night, but when I came up to work them this morning,

specifically, M071 people. Apparently, the maximum
volume that our present urine measuring system will
handle is 3800. I measured my bags this morning and
they came out to 3800. But I had quite a difficult
time getting the volume measuring plate into the bag,
where you bring that last flap up over top. I think
just squeezing it into the bag is - in itself, will
give you no more than a 3800 measurement. I have a
feeling that there's something more - indeterminate
quantity more than that, in that bag. If you wanted
a number, l'd guess right at 4000. End of the message.

pad. And when the PMT count suddenly hit the roof,
your SPT, who is spring-loaded for a flare, went
into a frantic search around the Sun, trying to lo-
cate same. In between times, looking at his differ-
ent pads to find out whether he was in the South
Atlantic anomaly. And, unfortunately, I was unable
to confirm the flare either on H-Alpha, X-ray, or
XUV, for sure. If I had, I would have burned up a
bunch of film, because nowhere in my pass did it
say I was in the South Atlantic anomaly. And we
Day165 Page593

finally determined that it was, from the geography

of it. And l'd like to ask, could you please put
on the pad the times of the South Atlantic anomaly,
even when it occurs in the middle of the daylight
pass. That's all; I don't have much to say. Inci-
dentally, you will find some of the search documented
on the VTR, because I was just getting ready to take
pictures of the white light coronagraph for the people.
I didn't get any XUV M0N on the VTR this morning for
that reason. We can do it later if you just call up.

7-1/2 UP and about 1/2 to the LEFT.

15 28 08 CDR Good shape.

PLT Yes, It's a good maneuver. Okay, EREP people,

at 28:13, we ought to look at the DAC film when we
get it back. And you will see, as I will demonstrate
here, that when you zoom out, the image that was
formerly in the center of the crosshairs in the reticle
moves down and to the left. Here we go. See, there
it goes down into the left. And now, if I recenter
it, I still read zero, but it is about 0.9, and I
read 6. And I guess that's about 6-1/2 to 6-3/4.
I want you to pass that on the EREP training people
and to the follow-on crew, please. If I center it
at mid-zoom, when I zoom in, the Moon is barely in
the field of view in the upper right-hand quadrant.

ii 24 51 PLT Hello, friendly tape recorder; it's the PLT with

the 487-3 this day, evaluating the frequency of use.
Okay, starting with the Jacket; used it almost daily.
You got to keep in mind we're in a little off-nominal
situation, although we're basically nominal; that
is, with MDA heaters on. There was a span of about
2 or 3 days ago which - the middle of which was about
3 days ago. The span of 2 or 3 days, the middle of
which was about 3 days ago, then when the MDA was warm
enough that the jacket was not required. However,
there was before that, and as it is now, we're -
have the MDA heaters off in order to help keep the
workshop temperatures down. Therefore, it is warm
in the workshop and chilly in the MDA, and a jacket
is an extremely useful item. The IV boots, I prefer
them - much prefer them to the triangle shoes and
wear them every day at every opportunity, but I do
not require the triangle shoes. The IV gloves I
have only worn one time, and that was on our initial
entry into the hot, hot workshop when we were handling
the extensions on the sail. I have not used them
since. The bump hat has not been out of its locker.
The pillow on the sleep restraint: Sometimes I use
Day167 Page
617

it and sometimes I don't; I haven't really decided.

Blankets, I have not used at all. The light baffle
I have not put up, since I have not been sleeping
in my sleep compartment; same with the privacy cur-
tain. Penlight is used almost every day and carried
at all times. Scissors is used every day, is kept at
the meal table, and that's where it's used - mostly,
almost exclusively, is used for opening food packages
and also for trimming the teleprinter messages.
The tool caddy was used during activation. I found
it fairly handy at the time; it has not been used
since. I don't miss it. The portable fan - we have
used the portable fan. It goes along with the - my
time estimates on when the MDA heaters were on. When
the workshop was cool at low Beta angles, we took it
down for 3 or 4 days; it is now back up. We have one
portable fan mounted in the workshop dome opening,
directing warm workshop air onto the 0WS heat ex-
changer inlet. We have used the portable fan each
time. The tape player: We could not get by without
it. We used the one in the wardroom, although not
as much as we did in training. The one that gets
used the most, by me, is the one that we have - one
of the sleep restraint tape players that we've plugged
into an outlet here at the MDA and is used while
doing ATM duty. The headsets I haven't used at all.
The microphone we haven't used. The playing cards:
We opened one deck, and looked at them, and said,
"gee whiz," and put them back. Books: I have been
reading a couple of books for about the last 4 days.
Up until then, we were busy enough with enough new
things, and it didn't really even ... what is in there
now. The books - We've got a lot of over-water
passes during daylight now that we didn't have early,
so there's just not as much to see out the window,
and that has replaced out-the-window. Hand exerciser
we have not used at all. The hand ball we have used
several times. We make a game out of it. They're
very squishy; any elastic ones we don't use; it doesn't
do enough keen things. The other ones, the more
rubbery ones, we use. You just throw it in the for-
ward area, and it bounces around and you cannot pre-
dict where it's going. It's like a game; you just
watch it, and it - and you get your jollies out of
just watching it. We have also developed another
game to see how many skips around the dome ring lockers
we can get with the ball. The world's record, held
 Page618 Day167

by yours truly, is ll bounces before it - no, before

the next object it hits is not a dome locker. The
dart set, the scientifically-minded SPT and I tried;
it does not work at all. First off, the air density
is such - is low enough that there is no aerodynamic
damping [?]; they - they tumble on the way. They are
basically, neutrally stable and they tumble, and it's -
We tried it for about 5 minutes and put it back. _fhe
Exer-Gym we have used on and off, not very much. I
wanted to try to set it up to do what is called, to
Exer-Gym and Exer-Genie people, to "think four,"
which basically is started at squat and pulls through
and winds up erect, as it were, with your feet on some
surface, the arms extended fully overhead; there is not
enough line. We don't have the right kind of handle
on it, and we - the biggest drawback is not enough
line on the Exer-Gym; therefore, it has not been
used very much. The binoculars we have used at
almost every opportunity. We did carry up an extra
set in our command module so we could look at the
workshop, and we have used both sets. We have been
using two sets at the same time. And the off-duty
windows: The only thing I can say about that is,
there are not enough of them looking in the right
direction, and they're not large enough. The
wardroom window is nice and large; however, now
that we are at high Beta angle, it's looking out
at the southern horizon. We cannot see below us
out of that window anymore and, besides, that
window has a big spot in it now, as you are prob-
ably aware. And we need - we ought to have big-
ger and more - more windows like the wardroom
window in the workshop. STS windows are - they're
very good; however, they - they are kind of small
and they're obstructed very much by external structures
to the vehicle. That's all, thank you.

ii 33 22 SPT Friendly tape recorder, this is the SPT, with M487-3

subjective evaluation of the following items for
frequency of use. The jacket is used daily, every
other day, depending on how long l'm spending in
the MDA, the cold part of the vehicle. It's not
on all the time, and I wouldn't be without it. I
use the IV boots very seldom. I haven't used them for
2 weeks. Use the triangle shoes all the time. The
IV gloves, I haven't even found. The bump hat, don't
know where it is. Use the pillow all the time; how-
_-_ Day167 Page
619

ever, I do not very often use the little knit thing

that flips over your head. I've evaluated it; I
haven't decided whether it's use- useful or not.
Use the - the thin blanket all the time - the one you
crawl in through the neck of - all the time except
the first 4 or 5 days, when it was too hot to use.
I have - I have not used the other blankets, except
the bottom blanket I zipped up a couple feet on one
occasion when it got down to 72. I have not used the
light baffle; use the privacy curtain every night.
Use the penlight daily, not very frequently and for long
periods of time, but daily; for instance, to go to
the bathroom at night. In the early morning, looking
at the PRD's to read them, you need a good light
locally, and earlier in the mission when we were con-
serving light, I used the penlight frequently. Use
the scissors daily for eating, for M133. The tool
caddy I used during activation; have not used since;
probably will use during deactivation. The portable
fan: We're using the one portable fan because of our
thermal problem. Other than that, they're not required.
The tape player: One of them is in the wardroom;
one has been strapped up near the ATM; use both of
these. Have never used the headset,have never used
the microphone, have never used the playing cards.
I read a little bit every night before bed, as is
my habit. Have never used the hand exerciser. We
use the balls for fun about once a week. The dart
set was tried once; doesn't work. The Exer-Gym I
don't use; the binoculars are used everyday for
looking out the window, and we use all the windows
at every opportunity. And that's the end of the
evaluation.

ii 37 04 SPT B channel, SPT; let me finish my ED31 discussion ....

The photographs were taken, and they are on the same
roll that the previous ones were_ namely, color in-
terior number 28 which, however, failed to rewind
in the camera. I took it in - in my bedroom and made _
myself a little darkroom out of a bag, and I wrapped
it in Mylar tape, and I hope that those pictures will
come out okay. I took the final picture, number 15,
on the new roll, color interior 31. The ones that
showed growth were 7 and 9, as previously, only they're
bigger - they have scalloped edges and a dark center.
They're multicolored. And 13, 14, and 15, which are

very light colored, very tiny colonies, numerous in

number. And that's the end of the report.

TIME SKIP

12 21 37 CDR Hello, friendly tape recorder. This is the CDR on

day 167, 16:30, M487-3 Charlie. Items to be evaluated -
Jackets: Jacket was used daily, especially in the
MDA and the command module area, where the temperature
ran around 60 degrees. I use the IV - IV boots
daily when I did not need to be restrained in the
floor again when operating the ATM, or sitting around
the wardroom, or working in areas where restraint to
the floor was not necessary. I found no reason to
use the bump hat. The pillow I used in my bed could,
by raising the straps on the bed in such a manner that
it didn't - the natural edge to my body - put my
head against the pillow. The blankets I used during
the middle of the flight when the workshop got down
in the low 70's, but otherwise, I didn't need the
blankets after that. The light baffle I put up,
and I did read in my bedroom, and I kept light out
of the ..., and also we ... And I believe it helped.
The privacy curtain I used only on occasion when
other crew members were up and I wanted to sleep,
which was very seldom; we normally all went to bed
at the same time and turned the lights out. The
penlight was a daily necessity that was used all
the time throughout the vehicle. Scissors we used
as a daily necessity at all meals, and we also used
them to cut up teleprinter pads and other things.
The tool caddy I did not use; I found my pocket
good enough. We normally returned something after
use. So just to transport it, I can simply carry it
in my hand, use it, and put it away. The portable
fan we used in the 0WS dome to blow OWS hot air
during our hot portions on heat exhanges; in the
airlock module, that worked pretty well. Tape player
I use daily in the ATM, in my bedroom, wardroom. The
headset I use daily, also every evening, so that I
wouldn't put my music on somebody else's ears after
lights-out or you're going to read, or something
like that. The microphone I've had no occasion to
use.

12 23 53 CDR Playing cards I have no occasion to use. I don't

- Day167 Page
621

play cards on the ground, and I don't play cards up

here. Books -l've read two and a half books so
far in the flight for pleasure in the evening or
off-duty time. The hand exerciser I didn't feel
that I needed. I don't use one on the ground; I
don't need one up here. The handball we threw
around a little bit to see what would happen. We
used ... about three or four times. The dart set,
we concluded, did not work up here, so we only used
it the one time, ... concluded that. Exer-Gym -
I don't use one on the ground; I don't use one up
here. I use the bicycle tt exercise my arms. Bin-
ocular I use daily at the windows, and the windows
I use daily during off duty; and I wish we had more
windows that covered more of the outside. It turns
out the high Beta angle we're at now, our one ...
window is looking mostly at the horizon and the sky.
That's the end of the CDR's 487-3 Charlie.

12 42 51 CDR Hello, friendly tape recorder. Here's some further

comment from the CDR on M487-3 Charlie. The equip-
ment items: My comments of the ones that I've al-
ready talked about have not changed. The ones that
- I didn't talk about that we hadn't used - There's
a couple that we've now rigged and used. One of them
is the OWS fireman's pole, and find that quite handy.
And it's probably a little better than the strap, but
it's difficult to say. And it really doesn't make
any difference. We really don't need anything at all,
but it's nice to have. We still haven't used the
portable handholds. We have no reason to use them.
Really don't ever use restraints to speak of, except
in the most obvious of places. And I think we dis-
cussed that at length.

12 44 20 CDR That's the only addition on the group 1 items I had

on what I said originally on subjective evaluation
guide 1.

13 52 26 CDR M487-2 Charlie on day 167 at 13:62 - 13:52 (laughter).

And we are sitting around for our roundtable discussion
and the first question is, one: which is preferable,
the floor/ceiling orientation of the 0WS or the open
cylindrical arrangement of the MDA/STS? How do the
j--
 Page622 Day167

tasks to be performed influence your preference of

orientation?

SPT ... you've got a relatively small volume like the

airlock on the MDA .... like the cylindrical thing,
we put everything on the wall, it's okay. With vol-
ume like this, I think you want it more - get more use
out of it by being able to put ... on the wall.

PLT Yes, that's a good point; I think we're concentrating

significantly ... something with walls fairly close
together like they are here in the crew quarters. We
have a lot of handholds, a lot of places to put things
... necessary ... here. So I think - I think a cir-
cular place like OWS is great for stowage .... moving
around. You can have lots of ... on the ...

CREW ... time.

SPT OWS ... If it were higher ... the ceiling as well as

the floor.

PLT ...
r

13 54 13 CDR Two: How adequate are the restraints and mobility aids
throughout the orbital assembly? Are more needed?
Where? Are some unnecessary? Which ones? Well, let
- let me just make a general comment that we've found
very little reason to restrain ourselves and - -

PLT ... mobility - -

CDR - - ... handhold mobility aids throughout the orbital

assembly .... handrail like handhold - -

SPT I think they help ... place to place ...

PLT Well, we used them ...

SPT I haven't finished yet.

13 55 O0 CDR Yes, and there are certain things that - in the work-
shop that - that ... are excellent design, it first
appeared that they might not be when we looked at them
on the ground, but there's no way to evaluate
them on the ground. And I'm thinking of the water ring
lockers ... blue ring underneath the edges .... and
the blue ring, if you can get a hold of it ... the
 D_y167 Page
623

lockers. You can swing to anywhere in the workshop

from the lockers, lock yourself in, do your job, close
the door, unlock the ... turn around and take off and
go any place you want to go. Now, that's great.
Mobility aids, for us to get from one place to another,
other than the handhold ... As a point of departure,
you know, if you depart from the wall and ... go any-
where. You should be able to hold on.

13 55 48 PLT This means that ... I use that ... like the ... mobil-
ity aids are much more ... OWS ... changing direction
... dome locker, airlock. Fireman's pole is great.
You just grab hold of it ... - -

SPT Yes. That's the only thing I can think of that we have
used and that's what I would consider a mobility aid.

CDR Yes. Right. Yes, ... - -

SPT Okay, priority has it, that ... an example ...

requirement.

13 56 23 CDR But now, mobility aids for, say, a large piece of ...
.... really make kind of your own, like, take an S073 out
of the big box. I just hold on to $073 with one hand
and pull myself across the floor. I hardly ... my
hand .... my other hand ... where I want to go and I
just ... - -

SPT That's right, but there's ... as well. You need a

mobility aid of some sort, and you usually invent
some, right? If you ever take that big stowage box
up to the dome locker. I don't think you'd - you'd
... go across the floor on the ... I think ... I
think you give a little flick and then you float.

CDR Yes.

13 57 03 SPT And you just go with it. If you're going to ... some-
thing and there's not a handhold to use or if you've
got to go across an open ... I think we all tend to
just ... a starting place ...

PLT ...

SPT Yes. The kind of ... seems to be more useful are

handholds - -
 Page
624 Day167

PLT Handholds.

SPT - - and foot restraints, like the triangle grid.

CDR _%ere's no doubt about it that - that in zero g we

could have come up with really good places to mount
checklist, and with some of the ... we did, would
have enabled ... put a little restraint strap here,
or a couple there, and ..., especially the small
things that have a lot of little ... - -

SPT ... categories are equipment that need restraints, and

there ...

13 57 55 CDR Okay, well that's enough for that one. Three is:
How often have environmental factors, that is, noise,
temperature, air flow, illumination, interfered with
your ability to perform a task? Which tasks and where?
Have any of these factors interfered with your ability
to sleep? I would say, personally, no, on my ability
to sleep. The biggest thing that I think I've noticed
is I have to use v_ bloody flashlight all the time.
Illumination is really poor.

SPT I was going to say that - and as far as sleep is con-

cerned, I've already mentioned it in personal de-
briefing. I think the bedrooms ought to be reason-
ably soundproof, because otherwise the least little
thing wakes me up. Now, it's absolutely impossible
in this vehicle to ..., in - in my opinion. And on
a ... you're going to have more ... you're going to
want to ... you got a soundproof ...

13 58 51 CDR That's good, soundproof bedroom, I think, for these

reasons: There's no ... background noises. It has
to be extremely quiet and - and when everything is shut
down and you're sleeping, the least little noise is
really magnified. And I think that's true of all
spacecraft that I've been in and will be in the future.
They are basically quiet vehicles.

PLT And I also think that I ...

CDR Well, yes, but that - I think ... most adequate ....
at the ... that I would comment that I think the air
flow ..., not really aware of it and obviously ...
 Day167 Page
625

13 59 30 SPT Except in the sleep compartment. See, that much - that's

a lousy air flow ...

SPT I couldn't get it to take ... without getting the

air flow out -

CDR I didn't have that trouble.

SPT The PLT ... a grouch.

PLT ... Not normally.

SPT ...

14 00 22 CDR Four: What unique off-duty activities have you devised

to supplement those provided in the 0DAE kit? W_at
recommendations do you have for improving recreational
facilities and equipment for future programs? Are such
items an important consideration for a mission the
length of yours? Well, there's no doubt about it, I
would like to ...

SPT ... As far as physical sports go, a big area where a

F guy can bounce around between the walls without breaking
himself or any thing ...

14 01 00 PLT Yes. I think you ought to provide for everything ....

We haven't used the cards, but if one person turns out
to used the cards, then they are worthwhile. Hey, same
thing with the books now. I was Just thinking today
when I answered that other question about when we
started reading. And when we started reading was when,
due to a lot of factors, our - the majority of our
daylight passes were over water. You didn't have
much to look at anymore, and that's when we started
reading. You definitely need reading. You definitely
need the tapes. You - you need the recordings. I
haven't missed any movies or anything, but for that
reason, if guys want to watch it, I think you ought
to have it available, like I said before.

14 01 42 CDR Yes, I - Well, what we're essentially saying is normal

one-g entertainment ... up here, really.

SPT ... perfectly good ... some dandy games (laughter)

14 01 56 PLT We really need - And I said this before in my other

Page626 Day167

personal briefing today - debriefing - we need more

windows.

CDR Yes.

PLT I think we need more windows, and we need bigger I

windows. That is the primary off-duty activity, is

looking out the stinking window. And when the window I

doesn't point to the ground anymore - And the ones
out the STS are crudded by something.

CDR I think we're ready to go on to 5. In terms of your

zero-g living and working experiences during this
mission, what specific habitability improvements
would you recommend for the next Skylab crew? For
future programs? Well, there isn't a heck of a lot
we could recommend to the next crew.

SPT No.

CDR You're pretty well stuck with what's here. But for
future programs, we could go back to the windows. I
think that ... specific item like clothing. You
really don't need to wash clothes but just throw r
them away. I'm sure we could have ... every day ....
All these little things, after a long distance, the
longer you're up, the more they get irritating to you.
And I'm sure that's nothing new; that happens in any
..., you know. You get put into a relatively boring
routine, and it can get boring up here in the sense
of doing the same job over and over again.
... entertainment and ... recreational type ... clean
clothes and shower and go look out the window and
feel freash .... During most of the flights, ...
electric razor ... Although compared to what we had,
we've come a long way.

14 03 59 PLT ... beneficial ...

CDR Discuss both the beneficial and the detrimental effects

of zero g on the following types of activities: A.
Individual work activities while restrained at a
specific work location.

PLT ... proper restrained ... -

CDR If the ... is laid out right, ... I could lock into
that thing and - 98 percent of all the ... the whole
period without moving, p
Day167 Page627

14 0h 32 PLT That's right. You could even bend clear over back-
wards; I could get into the locker - cabin M126 locker.

14 04 40 CDR Yes. Handling and transfering various sized equip-

ment, small, medituw, and large. Large is no problem;
medium is no problem; and small is no problem. And
handling small items - -

SPT Multiple, multiple ... - -

CDR Yes.

PLT - - small or large are a problem.

CDR Yes.

PLT You cannot just set them aside - -

CDR Yes -

SPT ... now that's true of working in a - in a restrained

location.

CDR ... _Iso has restraint requirements ... it wasn't

going to ...

SPT .., zero g require special precautions ...

PLT ... (Laughter) ...

14 05 40 CDR Charlie: Work activities requiring assistance from

another crewman.

SPT We really haven't found any - -

CDR We really haven't had too many other than ...

CDR D: Personal maintenance activities, personal hygiene

donning/doffing garments, et cetera. That - that - ...
think of that one?

PLT Well, personal hygiene - It's nice to have gravity

separating the ... feces from your body.

CDR Yes (laughter).

14 06 24 PLT This system has really worked ... well.

 Page
628 Day167

CDR Well, that's - that's the next one: Waste management

and cleanup chores.

SPT Oh. Defecation ...

CDR Locomotion in and through the various OA compartments.

No problem whatsoever from one end to the other.

SPT No. But again I want to reiterate that our old ideas
of having generously sized portholes ... because I
don't go around head first. If you're in here and you
want to go to that far wall, you push off and you go
over in essentially the same attitude as you would.
it's interesting - go ahead.

CDR Yes, well, I don't necessarily ... It depends on what

l'm doing and why l'm doing it, which way I go.

PLT Okay.

CDR Well, I - I tend to go - Maybe it's because l'm ...

hut I have a tendency to go around head first. But,
I agree with you - not down here, but up in the big
compartment, I tend to go head first. Through the
OWS upper compartment, I tend to go head first, through
the _A, wherever l'm going.

PLT Oh, so do I. Talking about wall openings, only

through a window down here.

CDR Yes. Well, wall openings - it all depends on where I

am or where I'm going, l'd like to ... a lot around
here.

SPT l'd like to give one other comment ... eating and
waste management ... 4 hours a day possibly ...
medical requirements .... still cost a lot of time
and electrical and ...

CDR Seven: How satisfactory is the frequency of change

of bedding and clothing? I think it's been satis-
factory on the flight. I would have preferred a few
more - certain items of clothing ....

PLT Yes, that's - I agree with you.

14 08 3_ CDR Okay. That's the end of 487-2 Charlie.

f--
Day167 Page629

14 08 39 PLT Yea!

14 09 16 PLT Hello, tape recorder. Here's the PLT with the rest
of his M487-h Charlie, which is the subjective evalu-
ation guide i. I just realized that I was remiss,
negligent in not filling out for you verbally before.
On the equipment items: The fireman's pole we have
now put up and - as we just finished debriefing on
this roundtable discussion 2 Charlie, or whatever
it is. A: Mobility aids. From the dome duty experi-
ments area is handy. We were formerly using the strap.
We put the fireman's pole up just to try it, and due
to its rigidity, I personally prefer it, because you
can just grab a hold of it, and you can change direc-
tions using the fireman's pole far better than you
could with the relatively slack strap. The handrails:
we still don't use them, the same with the STS hand-
rails and the MDA and mobility aids. We use them all
as stability aids when you're working in the area, but
not as mobility aids. Triangular shoes in the grid, I
still think are good. That goes for the water tank
foot platform. ATM foot platform we only use now as a
base for the captain's chair. And even though I don't
_ strap myself into the captain's chair, I do kind of
half sit, half lie at it with n_# toes hooked over the
little tubular fooLrest thing that goes aroum_d the_
bottom. The portable 512 EREP foot platform, I have
not used for 512 or anything I've done there; I've not
found it required. I have only used it once or twice
in its EREP location and found it extremely handy for
that. Portable P. J. foot restraints are very good
and required. Portable handholds have not been used
by me. Portable equipment restraints, we use a lot of.
What can I say? They're there; we used tethers, bungees,
universal hubs - the whole works.

lh ll 25 PLT ATM seat, I just discussed. The conical shoe cleats, I

don't like them. I haven't used them since I evaluated
them the first couple of days because - for two reasons.
One is, you have to keep changing back to the triangles
to get on the bicycle ergometer anyway, and we have
been riding the bicycle ergometer every day, if not
for experimental purposes, then for PT and general
conditioning. So you have to change it. The second
being that, with those cones on there, you tend to
catch them in the grids.
Page630 Day167

14 12 01 PLT Under the waste management area, the fecal collection

equipment and the urine collection equipment have turned
out to work quite well. We, again, had a discussion
of this on the two Charlies just a few minutes ago.
It worked well. I - I can't say anymore about it.
The urine flush water dispenser, we haven't used. The
hand washer is a requirement - It's an absolute nec-
essity. It worked well, except we yesterday changed
out the valve. The valve has gradually become more
and more plugged until we were hardly getting any
flow through it, and we changed out the only dispenser
valve on board yesterday. The fecal collector lap set
and hand holes are a requirement. They are well de-
signed. I give them a "very good" using your gage.
The belt tends to hold me a little far back on the
seat. l'd prefer to have something that, if you
could, - that pulls more straight down, but other
than that, it's been very good. The handwasher
handrail is a requirement when using the washrag
squeezer, and that's about the only time I use it.
I may subconsciously - or unconsciously use it other
times. The ceiling handrail comes in handy on occasion.
Again, that - it's occasionally and without thinking.
The light-duty foot restraints, we have griped. You've
responded to these. Essentially, they're unsatisfactory.

14 13 34 PLT The drying stations are - are excellent, yet they

have not taken as much of a set from keeping things
in them as we've seen in the trainer, and they're
an excellent idea. The shower: We now have three
showers under our belt. It's very good. It's a
long process of almost 45 minutes by the time you
get in until you get out due to getting up the water.
If there only were a better way, of which I have no
suggestions, for to gather up the water, it'd he much
more enjoyable. As it is right now, you wash and then
it takes you another 20 or 30 minutes to get the
water off yourself and out of the shower.

lh 14 16 PLT Food management: The wardroom table - Nothing's

changed. My evaluation of it for the thigh restraint
or their light-duty foot - foot restraint. Food re-
constitution dispensers: I mentioned n_ only comments
on it previously. The water gun is fine; the food
tray is all right. The food cans: I've got no com-
plaints on them, except for the thermal stabilized
items. That cellophane diaphragm, or whatever it's
made of, is the worst part of the whole system. When
j_ Day167 Page631

you cut it off, you've got this sloppy mess that the
fluids and the food sticks to. When you tear the
last bit off, it's like cracking the whip, and bits
and pieces of - of food go out - go flying all over
the room. It's a messy thing. The beverage dispensers
are all right. The seasoning dispensers are all right.
The pudding drawer, for whatever reason, does not hold
the cans in. It is very much an annoyance to contin-
ually have to be restowing cans in the pudding drawer.
The eating utensils are fine. In miscellaneous: The
... restraint is all right. The trash airlock is fine.
The vacuum cleaner is fine. And the wardroom table for
non-eating uses - Except I think I said this before;
we really need a brightly - a brighter light. I
think that each crewman ought to have mis own directional
light like a small desk high-intensity lamp so you can
read and write by it.

14 15 56 PLT That's all the comments for now. Thank you.

TIME SKIP

15 38 32 PLT Hello, B channel. This is for the thermal people.

It's something that we never really thought of before.
I just happened to notice that each of the onboard
fire extinguishers has on it one of those little
stickers with the indicator marks on it that turn
black when it's been exposed to a certain temperature.
The ones on the extinguishers are ii0, 120, 130, and 140
degrees Fahrenheit. Starting in the MDA - that fire
extinguisher's had ...

15 39 06 PLT The fire extinguisher in the dome indicates that

it's seen 120 degrees. The fire extinguisher in the
upper ... floor indicates 120 degrees. The
fire extinguisher in the experiments compartment,
the one on the wardroom wall, indicates ii0 degrees.
The one on the other wall, or the plus-Z side, indicates
all the spots are black, indicating it saw at least
140 degrees. End of message.

21 35 45 SPT Is the starting place the ...?

21 35 52 PLT Yes, I am standing here in the most forward part

of the orbital workshop or the cluster. Huh?
 Day167 Page633

SPT Now ...

CDR ...

SPT Right.

21 36 ii PLT I am standing in the most forward part of the

workshop or cluster, as it's called, discounting the
command service module. Matter of fact, its picture
is being taken out of the tunnel between the MDA, as
we call it, which stands for multiple docking adapter,
and the command service module. This is a smaller
cylindrical section of the front of the vehicle.
We'll describe some of the equipment and experiments
that we have up here for you. Immediately to my
right, this equipment here is a - is our manufacturing
facility. This is the control panel for it. This,
as you can see from its triangle shape, is a work
chamber through which this 4-inch line here is vented
to space so we can get one of the best and cheapest
vacuums available and we can do manufacturing work
in there. We have made some ball bearings, tried to
make spheres on this trip. We've done some melting
experimentsand several others. This will hopefully
give us the technology that we will be able to apply
some day, in order to make perfect ball bearings like
that. As we move down from the 512 facility - Give
me a sign when you are stable. I think - you know -
I don't want to be saying much when you are moving.

SPT Right .... you want me ...?

21 37 38 PLT Okay, and I'm going to go from here to the VTS. This
piece of equipment here - as are all other gray-colored
boxes in the MDA, is part of our EREP, which stands for
Earth Resources Experiments Program. This is a
multispectral camera, which has, as you can see, these
six stations on it. We have used it throughout the
flight to take photographs of the Earth and regions
we've never seen before. Since this flight covers up
to 50 degrees north latitude and, of course, south
latitude.

21 38 14 PLT Immediately in front of it - Now according to the

- Let me back up 1 minute. This camera obviously
does not take pictures across the MDA. But there is
a rather large window and ... the camera uses. And
it moves on down, as you can see, and takes the
.f
 Page
634 Day167

photographs out the window. I can't put it all the

way down now because we have a window protector on,
which interferes with the front shield. Now immedi-
ately in front of the camera is the VTS or the view-
finder tracker system. We have on this board, as one
of the experiments in the EREP system, an infrared
scanner, which has a very, very small field of view
which must be pointed by a man. And this is accomp-
lished by him looking - (laughter) as they fell, that
was a hit - by looking through this eyepiece at the
ground and using a - we get 22-1/2 power magnification
there, and this is used to precisely point the infrared
scanner.

21 39 20 PLT Now, moving further on around, this is our C&D or

control and display panel for EREP. While one man
operates the telescope and tracking systems, the other
man operates the equipment from this panel. This is
the panel from which the experiments are controlled;
they are turned off and on. He has got displayed up
here a clock, which gives us the time, as most clocks
do. And he uses it to see when to turn experiments
on and off. Huh_ Oh, okay, how is that? Now -
EREP was added on after most of the other experiments
were decided upon for Skylab. And one of the experi-
ments, in particular, is the very high bit-rate tracking
because the amount of data precision being sent back
from outside the experiments is too high for our
normal down-link; therefore, all the data for the EREP
is recorded on board on 1-inch magnetic tapes. This
is one of two tape recorders. That is all recorded
on tape. We obviously must have a reasonable assurance
that we're going to have a functioning tape recorder.
Now we've cleaned up for the end of the mission already
and there are no reels on here. This is the tape
recorder. The backup tape recorder is right to my
left immediately behind, which is an identical piece
of equipment.

SPT Let me go get my ...

21 41 36 PLT ... We're going to run out of daylight.

SPT ... Let's see.

PLT Oh, no, sir.

21 42 24 PLT Fire! Yea!

21 42 55 PLT Now on this side of the vehicle right above the EREP
tape recorder, you'll see these two large white boxes.
This is our onboard video tape recorder and with this
- programing right now is these scenes are being
recorded on this tape recorder right now. We're doing
this out of contact with the ground station; we're
back in Earth orbit because Earth orbit is the best
place - was as good a place as any to - from which
to study the Sun. It's obviously the best place
from which to study the Earth, which we're doing.
Now, since we are in Earth orbit, we no longer have
continual con_nunications with the ground, and we are
constrained or we have only occasional contact through
ground stations which are spread around the world.

CDR We want the field of view in position one ....

30 seconds here ....

PLT Right ...

CDR You want it back up, Joe?

PLT Well, he was getting there for ... Let's wait until
he gets back down ...

CDR ...

PLT ... exactly was ... talking ... No, I wasn't. Yes,
but I was leading up to something else.

CDR You were discussing ...

21 56 02 PLT Yes. Okay, okay. And since we only have occasional

contact with the ground, it does not permit enough
time to send down, what we call real time - that is,
while we are taking a TV picture to send it directly
to the ground, at the same time we are taking - well,
we wouldn't get enough information down. So, we've
got this onboard tape recorder, video tape recorder
as I say - we can record on it - record on it. And
then the ground, through a series of ground con_nands
- that is radio con_nands that they sent from the
ground - can start it, stop it, rewind it, play it
back, and they can get the data off the tape recorder
 Page
636 Day167

then while we are sleeping, rewind it, and have it

ready for another - for the next day's use.

21 56 45 PLT Now, in_nediately behind this - at which our science

pilot, Dr. Kerwin, is working at our ATM console.
ATM is the Apollo telescope mount. We won't go into
the reasons here why it is called the Apollo telescope
mount, but it is a battery of - full of instruments with
which we are studying the Sun. Now, we are going to
get information from the ATM that we have never been
able to get before except for just a very few seconds,
either during an eclipse or from a ballistic rocket
which is launched, goes up, looks at the Sun for a few
minutes or even seconds in some cases, and then jetti-
sons its payload which is returned to Earth and re-
covered. In this case, we can get hours and hours of
viewing time of the Sun, and we can get it all from
out of the Earth's atmosphere, that - that curtain,
that very dense filter that - that - filters out so
much of the information on the surface of the Earth,
so that we don't really know everything we want to
know about what's going on on the Sun's surface.

21 57 51 PLT Now, as you can see on here, we have seven instruments

that we are using. The instrument panel is suitably
complicated to control and monitor the operation of
these seven instruments. We - -

21 58 04 CC Skylab, Houston. AOS for 15 minutes.

SPT Go ahead.

PLT Excuse me, ladies.

CC Roger.

PLT We can, in fact, see pictorially the same information

that some of these instruments are, since some of it,
the information is gathered in - in a photographic
thing. For instance, displayed on the two TV monitors,
the television monitors which you see on the panel in
front of Dr. Kerwin. Now, on behind the ATM panel,
here, is essentially what is the nerve center of the
ship. The - the combined bridge and engine room.

PLT Huh? Is that too bright? Oh, you don't want all the
lights. All right. Okay. Leave those on?
 Day167 Page

CDR Yes.

PLT How about those?

PET What do we want to talk about here?

CDR Electrical -

what. There's wider angle on down through the tunnel.
You stay here, Pete. I'ii go on down to the end of
the tunnel. Say something about the fact that l'm
going down here. Well, never mind. Okay.

22 00 15 PLT Okay, Joe.

CDR Yes....

PLT Okay .... this. Oh, all right.

Page 638 Day 167

22 01 ii PLT Now this is - you can consider this the control center
of all the systems throughout the cluster, the work-
shop. This is the panel from which is controlled our
electrical systems; our environmental control system
is controlled from some panels up immediately above
here. And the ATM has its own solar arrays. It's
generating power at - it can feed the workshop or
the workshop can feed power to the ATM from there.
From the airlock module control systems, the power
is fed to the 0WS. It's sent to or from the command
module. They say that this is the nerve center.
Now turning to one side of the panel here, we control
con_nunications systems from here. Our environmental
control system is up here. We'll get into that later.
We'll come back to it.

22 02 00 PLT These are the control switches, this whole oanel of

panel of switches here, for electrical systems. Thes_
are the monitors for our electrical systems. And
some of the controls down here. These are meters
from which we can monitor it to see where the current
is flowing, how much, and generally monitor the status
Over here, now, these are the black dogs [?] in the
upper right-hand corner that control the lighting of
this area of the MDA. And down here is the control
panel for our CAUTION & WARNING system. Now our
CAUTION & WARNING is very important to us. We do
not have the facilities nor the people on board in
order to have a staggered watch so we can have some-
one up at all times. Besides, there are only three
men on board, and it is not convenient for one man to
stay here and devote great frames of his time to
merely monitoring systems. So these systems are
monitored by another system yet, called the CAUTION
& WARNING system. And if something goes wrong, with
a portion or given part of a system, then it's detect-
ed by the CAUTION & WARNING and a suitable alarm is
sounded. Now, the only way we can test this is by
pieces of the system so they'll - you'll see them all
come on at once. Many lights come on at once. But
a CAUTION tone sounds like this (tone). Our WARNING
tone sounds like this (tone). A RAPID DELTA-P, which
means that we're losing atmosphere from the cluster
somewhere sounds like this (tone). That gets your
attention. Now, our fire alarm sounds like this
(tone). That gets your attention, also.

CDR (Laughter)
Day167 Page639

22 04 17 PLT You want to hear something else? No, they're two

lights, right? We don't have to. Let me just roll
around this way and go to the mol sieve.

PET Yes.

22 04 31 PLT Now our environmental control system consists primarily

of redundant units over here called molecular sieves.
We have one right here, mol sieve A and one that is
out of your field of view - that is now in your field
of view (laughter) which is an identical system and
it, strangely enough, is called (laughter) mol sieve B
(laughter). Whee.

CDR (Laughter)

PLT Okay, let's get serious. Right? ...

CDR (Laughter) ...

PLT Is screwing me up included in your plans? I was

covering for you (laughter). I - (laughter) - I
say -

CDR ...

PLT (Laughter) This thing that you can't see and you
go "Na, na, na, na, na."

CDR (Laughter)

PLT Whoo-ha.

CDR Ready?

PLT Yes.

CDR Lights, camera, action.

22 06 03 PLT The function of the molecular sieve is to remove

carbon dioxide and water vapor, primarily, from the
air. And it also has, as part of it, a loop which
goes through the charcoal filter, which removes odors
from the air. This is the inlet fan here. The air
is drawn in here, split up into three paths. One goes
through the charcoal filter, one goes over the
molecular sieve beds for the CO 2 removal, and another
goes through a condensing heat exchanger, which removes
 Page
640 Day167

moisture and controls the humidity in the air. Any-

thing else in here? I think - Okay. You want me to
go into it or just from here? Well, I can only go
2 feet into it.

CDR Why don't you take some steps into the wardroom and
show themthe ... I

SPT ...

CDR ...

PLT Am I in your way?

SPT ... down ...

22 08 46 PLT Okay, but you'll want a transition, do you?

PLT All right. Roll them, Joe, baby.

SPT Aaaaaaah.

22 08 55 PLT Now we moved from the - this portion of the MDA back
through the airlock, which is connecting the MDA to
the orbital workshop itself. The airlock is just
what the name implies. That is, it is - what the -
the means by which we go outside the vehicle since
the films for the ATM is at the ATM itself, and
EVA, or extravehicular activity, must be performed to
retrieve the EVA - the ATM film. The airlock, as
you can see, is a rather small, compact portion -
portion of the cluster. It was designed purposely
so - so you have good control of your body in here
while you're trying to move around in a pressurized
suit. This is the aft portion of the airlock and,
immediately beyond me, I think you can see, we move
into the workshop proper. Now I'ii go on through
this hatch, and then we'll move down to the work -
into the forward section of the workshop where that
portion of the tour will be picked up by our intrepid
commander, Captain - (laughter)

SPT (Laughter) Okay. Start ...

22 10 06 PLT And we'll move down into the forward portion of the
workshop where that portion of the tour will be
picked up by our commander, Captain Conrad.
 Day167 Page641

CDR ...

CDR Okay ....

PLT Roll them!

22 21 02 CDR Hit As you can see, we don't have too much trouble
getting around here in our big experiments area, the
place where we keep most of our equipment, store a
lot of our goods, and also run many of the scientific
experiments throughout the flight, l'm in what we
call .our water ring locker stowage area. It has that
name because underneath, as you can see right here,
are our water tanks that we use for both hygiene and
drinking and our food, and right above them are these
big lockers in which we have a lot of e0uioment stowed.
Now, we have a rig that has a triangle cut in it, and
as you saw, I came up and locked my feet into it and
it's very nice because you really can go where you
want. You can move around. You can open up any of
the lockers and get the equipment that's inside.

22 21 54 CDR Here, we have a helmet protector, a spare heater;

_ these are some of our Earth resources tapes. And
these are plain sleeping restraints for the follow-
on crews. So we have all of the things that we need
on board. And as you saw, our water tanks are here,
and, as you look around on the floor, you'll see
other pieces of gear. And over on this side, which
I'll go over to - We have one of our other forms of
... These are our food lockers here. We have all
the food stowed for all three crews in these lockers.
And in the white ones, are our freezers, which we
haven't had in space before, either. We have all
our _rozen food in there. So we have clothing,
water, food, the oxygen that we breathe, the nitrogen
that's in our atmosphere is ... outside.

22 22 58 CDR And the rest of this equipment is all scientific

equipment that uses two different scientific airlocks
on each side of the ... One scientific airlock looks
at the sunny side and the other scientific airloek
looks at the dark side. And there's an experiment
running right now in our dark-side airlock. It's a
photometer; it measures very small quantities of
light, and right now it's scanning outside the vehicle
to see what kind of particles are around the space-
craft. It is something that we need to know for our
Page642 Day167

other instruments because our telescope may be affected

by particles that are surrounding the spacecraft,
including scattered light ... So, we are determining
exactly what kind of ... atmosphere, although we're
in a vacuum, we do have around our own spacecraft.
That's one of the things that this instrument is
looking for. It also can look at the heavens and
study strange light places out there. We can put
ultraviolet cameras in there, which you can't use
down on the Earth_ because they are filtered by our
atmosphere. One of our safety devices, we do have
our fire hose rigged here - in the event that we had
a fire. You heard our fire alarm earlier. If we had
a fire, we do have these for fighting the fire. We
have a fire hose that puts out water water. Scattered
about the vehicle, we have fire extinguishers.

CR_l ...

22 2L 26 CDR So it looks like a conventional place to work.

22 2h 33 CDR You want to get ... drug kit.

22 39 50 PLT On ATM debriefing, at a few minutes after 22:00. The

SPT saw a small, but bright, flare occur in active
region 35, while doing JOP 6. It was quite bright
in H-alpha. It was easily recognizable in XIDI as a
bright point. It was, for a while, seen in X-ray,
although not very clearly. The _EC count went from
about, in round numbers, 200 to about 500 during
this flare, and that subsided in about 15 minutes.

and the film tips to make sketches out of the corona,
but of active regions. It would work equally well
the corona, and works very well indeed. And it is
quicker and much more accurate, at least in my hands,
than a freehand sketch. Something you might want to
think about. We've only had to pin in the overlays,
but if you, by any chance, intended to use them daily,
you probably ought to bring up a bunch more.

13 26 33 PLT Answer to que - The answer to question i for the MI31

on the PLT is no. Two is no. Three_ additional
comments and observations: In the lower levels, I
gave many more responses than I have in the past and
I don't know what to tell you. I Just - I was res-
ponding on initial apparent line motions. They were
much stronger than they'd ever been before. This
initial motion stands out in a - very soon. But, I
was giving my answers based on that anyway. And on
the test you wanted us to run, yes, you can excite
Page
648 Day168

movement on a line by gradually - by very gently

rocking your face back and forth. However, that's
not what's causing it. I feel very confident because
it just looks different. I did not experience the
back and forth, left-right oscillations today at any
level except 4, and I got it on - I'd estimate a
little more than half of the - the looks at 4. That's
all.

13 30 05 SPT Friendly B channel, the M131 MS on the PLT is about

to begin. His symptoms are not physical, but consist
of extreme fear, trembling, and apprehension at
30 r.p.m.

TIME SKIP

15 42 12 SPT ... side to side oscillation it could easily be seen.

Then it would go away_ then it would come back again.
It was never very long.

15 43 01 SPT Okay, tape recorder, this is the SPT debriefing

from his MI31-1. To start off with the special
test, I concur with the PLT - -

PLT I never put anything ...

SPT - - in that head movements, while you're in the goggles_

can make the line appear to move from left to right.
You can feel the head movement and the movement of
the line, it tracks perfectly. You could simulate
the - the movement of the line that we discussed
pretty accurately if you move your head the right
amount and at the right speed, about i cycle per second.
But it's not the same movement. I'm quite sure that
we're not moving our heads, and I observed the PLT
carefully for this. We're not moving our heads when
we see this phenonmenon. Now it may have the same
cause. I also noticed that when staring at the line
for 2 minutes, a small side-to-side oscillation could
easily be seen. Then it would go away, and then it
would come back again. It was never very large, but
it was there. And then, too, maybe the same - the
sort of illusion that is producing this movement that
we've reported. Okay, the debriefing questions for
OGI. I did not have a sense of rotation except during
Day168 Page
649

the step 18. And it was odd today, the step 18. I
could feel the rotation but, for some reason, I think
it may have been eye fatigue - -

15 44 38 CC Skylab, Houston ....

SPT The line of lights didn't appear to the move very

well and, in faet_ I missed a couple.

SPT The answer to number 2 is no; and number 3, I think

l've already said everything I have to say. On the
MS, the same thing; the vestibular sensations at
30 r.p.m, are very strong. The illusions of tumbling
and rotation which move your head are very strong.
The sense of vertigo is very strong, but vegitative
symptoms just don't develop. End of comment.

SPT Not quite the end of co_nent. I had a couple of

thoughts about it. One, I suppose we all might
have gotten a clue to this on Gemini VIII, but I
didn't. And number 2 is that it is filling in some
interesting implications to rotating space station
design. I'm not sure which way, but I think this may
indicate that life won't be as hard as I thought it
would on such a thing. Might think about that.

Evening Status Report for day 168. Good night.

19 57 16 SPT B channel, this is the SPT answering the evening

questions. Number l, the prime bonesaw was - went
EVA taped to the SPT's left arm and is no longer there.
We don't know where it is. The backup bonesaw, however,
and there were two of them in the dental kit, is still
in the dental kit and is in excellent condition.

20 Ol 26 SPT And, B channel, in answer question to number 2, Earth

terrain camera film Charlie Tango 07 is the exposed
film. It is located in E20. Charlie Tango 01 is the
unexposed film, the original film that was up there,
and it is in El9. At least we think it's unexposed.
We didn't expose it. The other roll of ETC film that
we used is Bravo Whiskey 01 and it is fully exposed.
And it resides in F27. End of message.

20 18 33 SPT - was geared with it but the electronic cross -

SPT Guys, the offsets we got look -

20 50 20 SPT B channel, this is your SPT with a - an answer to

general message number 2422 about the electronic
crosshairs. This is for Alan Bean and his follow-on
crew. Guys, the offsets we got, listed in approximate
language, are as follows: At 15 minutes, horizontal,
one-half, vertical, zero; at 40 minutes, one-half,
one-quarter; one orbit, one-half, one-quarter; and
three orbits - actually this is four orbits - sorry
about that - one-half_ one-quarter, or less. Essential-
ly, there is no drift, not over any course of a day.
What there is, is oscillation. The two sensor cross-
hairs are constantly oscillating with reference to
each other because the image oscillation we described
on H-alpha is, of course, present and noticeable, and
it takes the mechanical crosshairs with it. But the
electronic erosshairs do not move relative to the image.
Whether that will interrupt - will interfere with what-
ever it is you have in mind, I don't know. End of
message.

20 53 50 SPT B channel, SPT with a report on the ATM pass at - 20:27.

The S056 is hung up in ACTIVE 2, LONG after taking
42 frames. As there is insufficient time to go through
the program if I reinitiated it, I'm going to curtail
it at this time.

21 26 12 SPT Okay. On ED31, some of the plates in the incubator

are going to be a disappointment, and I feel that they
may have damaged these particular specimens. Numbers
1 through 4 show no apparent growth. Number 5 has one
very small_ pale grey or yellowish colony on it - very
small pin prick. Number 6 and number 8 are also devoid
of growth. Number 7 has three large and number 9 one
very large colony - flat with irregular edges and a
very pale, brownish green. I'll get to the other ones

regarding S056 hangup. It's for the A_4 people. I
Just started it three times while 55 was rnnning in
MIRROR AUTO RASTER. Seems to be a problem there, and
Page662 Day169

I'd just finished building block 5 Bravo with 56 in

ACTIVE l, LONG, and 55 in MIRROR LINE SCAN and it
stepped right on through; 56, that is, stepped right
on through the ACTIVE 1 sequence with nary a hitch.
So it appears that maybe there's some relationship
between the 56 hangup and 55 being in MIRROR AUTO
RASTER.

many, many small bubbles in it a_d scattered all
through it. By small, I mean on the order of
one-sixteenth of an inch. And the LCG reservoirs, they
both have bubbles in them. And, in this case, both -
in both reservoirs they are large and only a few, I
think, on the order of lO to 20 bubbles, because I
can't see the whole reservoir. And by large, I mean
on the order of three-quarters of an _nch to an inch
in diameter.

17 18 04 CDR Hello, friendly B channel; for the stowage people

and EVA people. There was a wrist tether attached
to the Marshall sail holder. And I have taken that
wrist tether to use on our normal EVA. And if I
remember it, I'll return it to the Marshall equip-
ment so that it all stays intact. And the Marshall
equipment is still where it was stowed, over the
top of the film vault in the command module sleeping
bag.

uration. If we put on the taoe before, that one of
the Exer-Gyms was located on the grid floor in a
forward compartment next to the waste management
compartment saying it's not there anymore, it is
going back into the entertainment kit. If we didn't
tell you it was there, then forget it.

20 13 19 SPT B channel, this is the SPT. I'm going to report om

a co,_le of window contamination exercises. The
wardroom window is significantly contaminated and
we've talked about it before and we've photographed
it, and I don't know that it's changed a great deal.
The outside of the outer pane has a lot of very fine,
granular, dustlike particles on it and a number of
larger particles maybe - or groups of particles - maybe
a millimeter and a half to 3 millimeters in diameter,
along one swath. They look like miniature mouse
tracks. They look like waterdrops, essentially. Okay?
Page
664 Day169

What's the fine stuff? In the center of the inside of

the outer Dane is a familiar ice crystal about an
inch and a half in diameter and round. It is ice
again. And the outside of the inner pane appears
to have some dust on it; not a lot, but some.

TIME SKIP

20 29 08 SPT B channel, the SPT with two more window contamination

comments. STS window number 2 has got muddy foot-
prints alS over it from the SPT from the last time
we did an EVA. It's pretty dirty on the outside
for that reason. Window number 3 has a fine dust
on the outside, not bad. It is otherwise quite
clean. End of message.

TIME SKIP

22 32 26 SPT For the ATM PIs and the SAR [?] and all those people,
it's a final debriefing from the Skylab crew:

Oh, our mugs were filled with "Buds" of solar science,

While a Velcro strap was holding down our wumps.
As with MPC in hand,
The monitor we scanned.
We were tracking down some dark and bushy clumps.
Yes, we've dreamed of activeregion seven seven
'Til the panel's worn our fingers down to stumps.
And there ain't but one phenom
That you could always glom --
They are bushy, they are dark, and they are clumps.
Now, if suddenly the flare alarm goes crazy,
And in "zolve" [Z-LV], it looks like Sol has got
the mumps,
Forget X-ray; forget plage;
That stuff's naught but a mirage.
Fix your eye upon the dark and bushy clumps.
Then, afterward, we'll sit around the table
To look at all the film and take our lumps.
And they'll say, "Why did you leave TONE/LIGHT
ENABLED?
We've got 50,000 frames of bushy clumps."

PLT Whoops, sorry. We missed the DAC.

CDR No, I'll get it. I'll get it.

SPT And I'll verify that there was a slight drop - -

SPT Yes.

CDR No, you - -

SPT Okay, EV-I, you got panel 323 today, which is not
per spec.

PLT Okay. You're right I should be ...

i0 33 43 CDR Yes, that's my fault.

i0 33 44 SPT All right. Meanwhile, I need - if you could help

me - give me a push here. I can't get this darn
thing in at all.

PLT Oh.

SPT I have tried and tried and tried and, so help me,
tried. And it did the same thing you guys did
(chuckle). Okay, thank you very much.

PLT You 're welcome.

SPT Okay, let me go back and get my checklist.

i0 34 05 CDR l'm going to move this DAC over here, because it may
interfere with closing the OWS hatch.

PLT All righty. Do I stay this way?

SPT You enter the aft airlock head first. I stuff.

Rotate feet toward MDA to get to your egress
position there.

CDR EV-I, you think that the DAC's . ..

SPT And I'll just be EVil - or 3 or whatever the beck I am - -

PLT No wait, I want to get - -

l0 34 50 SPT EV- - No, that's good. Get - come down. And I'm
still getting back on my power curve here - being late
getting my PCU on. Okay. Easy.

CDR I'm wondering if we ought to change these.

SPT I don't know. It means doing your integrity check

over again. We could do it. It's up to you.

PLT I don't really think it makes much difference.

l0 35 26 SPT I have a feeling that you'll make out all right. Just
a feeling that you'll make out all right. You'll
_ haveto be careful.

CDR The only problem with that, see, is that it doesn't

let Paul make out very satisfactorily. It comes right
across the hatch when he goes to lock it in his holder.

PLT That's all right.

i0 35 45 SPT Okay, he probably doesn't need - You probably don't

need to lock it in his - -

CDR No, it's in my way coming out and going back in.

SPT It's up to you - -

PLT Who decides?

CDR Well, I think we ought to switch them.

CDR Yes. Never mind - -

CDR All the way.

i0 36 27 SPT Let me see, EV-2, I - I got to move down to where

you are.

PLT Here, let me Just stow his umbilical.

SPT Stow his ,_mbilical for him. Stay put, Paul. That
way I can check them off the checklist as if I had
done them. Now - Yes, I'm going to stow in the front

I don't think you're suDDosed to - Oh, all right.
Yes, that's fine. But verify the seal is clear and
that the HANDLE is in UNLOCK and then ... - -

l0 37 16 MCC And, Skylab, Houston. We've got you for about

9 minutes over Guam. And when you get done what you're
doing there, we'd like to know what it was so that
we can track who we've got on what loop down here.

PLT We didn't do anything.

SPT Okay.

MCC Okay, so understand you're going to be running on the -

out of the - out of the different spheres - -

SPT - - ... hatch seal is clear, the HATCH HANDLE is OPEN,

the hatch is released from the wall, Pete - -

l0 37 41 CDR No, wait. Too many people are ta]king again. Let me
Just tA]k to - -

SPT Which is why I can't talk to Rusty.

CDR Wait a minute. Let me tslk to Rusty a minute. Rusty,

yesterday I hooked up the umbilical that I used the
other day. So we are, in fact, backwards. Okay?

l0 37 57 MCC Okay. So you're - you're coming out of the EV-1 - -

CDR That's correct.

MCC Is that correct?

CDR I'm coming out of EV-1, and Paul is coming out of EV-2.
And I don't see any problem. We've t_Iked about the
hatch, and there's no problem there. Okay?
Page
680 Day170

MCC We dropped out there, unfortun&tely, Pete. We under-

stand that you're running on the EV-1 umbilical and
the PLT is running on the EV-2 umbilical.

MCC Okay.

CDR Everybody understand who's on first now? Okay. Now,

go ahead, Joe.

pressure?
 Day170 Page
681

l0 39 12 CDR Okay. I have to unlock the release handle, right,

Paul ?

PLT Yes.

SPT I think you do. It doesn't say that step. Once you
get to equalize, then unlock the release handle again.

l0 39 26 CDR Okay, equalize pressure?

SPT Then HATCH HANDLE to CLOSE.

CDR Now, wait. What did you say about unlock the
handle?

SPT I said unlock the handle again. It probably went

to LOCK again.

CDR Okay.

SPT Okay

f
CDR Yes.

CDR Now CLOSE?

PLT All right.

SPT Where am I?

MCC PLT, Houston. If you got a second there, it's no bit

deal, but we're not getting very good hiomed. If you
can sort of press on your sensors through your suit,
we'd appreciate it.

PLT (Grunting) It's a little difficult to do. How's

that? (Laughter)

MCC That sounded great. I'ii tell you what it looked like.

CDR Hey, Paul?

i0 40 18 PLT Ask them if they're getting television.

CDR Okay. Wrapped around your neck. Wait (laughter).

Okay, that's good.

SPT Are you getting TV, Houston?

PLT Okay?

MCC Say again.

SPT Are you getting TV?

CDR Yes. That's right there.

i0 40 31 MCC We saw while you were pressing on them, but it then

dropped out. So if you want to hold yourself all
through the EVA, you can. But we'll give you the
choice of letting go.

i0 40 41 PLT He asked if you were getting TV - television.

CDR They're not over the States.

PLT Well, I'm just telling them what Joe asked.

l0 41 26 MCC And for Joe's information, we pick up real time at

Goldstone at ll:02. So that's about another 20 minutes
away.

SPT And forward, okay. The hatch will be closed by that

time, but we're getting something on the VTR for
them. At great expense, because this darn cabel is all
tangled with my LSU at the moment.

l0 42 19 SPT Okay. Now I need to give somebody the VC tree.

PLT That's what I was wondering, why I turned around

in here.

l0 42 25 SPT I don't know. It said to turn around; but, by golly,

you got to turn back again.

PLT No, I don't.

SPT Don't you?

PLT No.

SPT Okay.

CDR You've just got to hold it until he gets the hatch

closed.

i0 52 34 CDR Now - (attempted whistle) Can't whistle any more.

CDR Now, one of the problems here, Paul, (whistle) is

that I think we got down to about 0.2. And l'm not
sure we weren't flowing at about what that valve could
handle with the ice on it.

PLT Yes.

CDR So, I waited until most of the pressure was off, and
I knocked that piece of ice off. But the problem
with that is that it's kind of slushy. And it sort of
went through the screen, which made me a little nervous.

PLT Yes.

CDR Now, I saw a half in the lock, and it's fairly steady,
unfortunately - -

PLT ... - -

CDR - - But everything down here is - huh?

PLT Yes, what are you saying you want me to do with the
ice?

CDE Well, let's wait until we steady out at some number,

and then we'll decide what to do with the ice.

i0 53 13 PLT It's showing about 0.4 now.

SPT Let's see what I got in here. I was fooling with the
TV. Uh - Whooo: 0.4, same as you.

CDR Fairly steady.

l0 53 30 SPT Yes, this is about the point at which we guts it last

time and went out and opened the hatch.

CDR No, no. We weren't that high.

CDR I think you better try and remove a hunk of that ice.
F Day170 Page

i0 53 43 PLT Yes. That's the trouble, I think.

i0 53 44 CDR As a matter of fact, why don't you close - well -

PLT That'll build it up a little bit.

CDR - - Why don't you close the valve and knock if off?

i0 53 56 CDR That make it come away from you?

PLT Yes.

CDR Okay, now open the valve.

i0 54 03 CDR All right. That did it; that did a lot for it.

PLT Did it?

CDR Yes, sir.

I0 54 07 CDR It's down to about 0.2.

i0 54 08 PLT I got 0.3.

CDR 0.3? I got i - Well, I got a little parallax here.

Let me see.

SPT It is coming down, though.

CDR Yes.

SPT It is coming down.

i0 54 18 CDR One gage reads 0.3 and the other one reads about 0.2.

SPT Uh-huh.

CDR And l'm reading the lock and the aft lock, both.

SPT Uh-huh. Me, too. If I can just get 0.5.

PLT There wasn't anything slushy about that ice.

i0 54 32 CDR Okay.

SPT It was hard, huh?

PLT Yes.

694 Day170

lO 54 36 CDR Well, when I tried to knock it off, we weren't that

far down, you know.

PLT Yes. That's a good idea, closing it. We ought to

tell Bean - -

CDR Yes.

PLT - - and them that.

CDR Either that or you could put another screen over the
top of it, and let it form, and it should pull it away.

PLT Yes, be the thing to do. We ought to have a little

screen that just slips over the top of that.

CDR Yes.

PLT You take that cap off and put the screen on.

i0 54 59 SPT Give you 0.2 now.

CDR Okay, I think probably we could open the hatch, but

you' re going to have to hold that handle down.

PLT Yes.

CDR That yellow thing. Here, you want to read the steps?

SPT Okay. First - -

CDR First.

SPT When Pete - Oh, yes. First of all, go to MODE SELECT

to ABSOLUTE, both of you.

_0 55 17 CDR ABSOLUTE.

SPT Watch your cuff gage - -

I0 55 18 PLT There's ABSOLUTE - -

SPT - - because you might get a slight decrease in the

cuff gage. You should still be 3.6 to 3.9.

i0 55 26 PLT Well, mine dropped to 3.5.

SPT All right. That's right. Mine was a little low on

that, too, about 3.55.
 Day170 Page695

i0 55 32 PLT ABSOLUTE, and I'm back at 3.5, and I think it'll come
back up again, i hope.

CDR Well, mine hasn't.

SPT PRESS SELECT should be in BOTH and FLOW in EVA, NORM.

PLT Okay.

I0 55 42 CDR Going to EVA, NORM - -

PLT Just a second.

CDR Okay. EVA, NORM.

PLT Hey, a couple tenths makes a big difference in the

suit; you know it?

SPT Here's a funny one. "Lights off," it says, "in the

lock." I didn't know that was in there.

PLT I didn't either.

CDR Why, why? Forget it.

SPT I don't know.

CDR Well --

PLT Well, wait. Maybe they - you guys left - -

CDR I thought we left them on.

PLT Maybe they'll burn out if t_ey - Heck, they're in a

vacuum now.

i0 56 09 CDR Yes.

PLT (Laughter)

CDR Leave - leave them on. Let's leave them on - -

i0 56 ii SPT I don't have any idea. We used them when we needed

them. Okay. EVA - verify that the EVA hatch retainer
is spring loaded to the ENGAGED position.

PLT Well, yes, and l'm going to hold it down also.

wise?

charging. It's at zero - essentially zero.

ll 15 40 CDR-EVA It needs to be rotated. We'd get a little better

cooling on the upper part if we rotated it - ah, ha, ha,
how am I going to tell you - -

PLT-EVA Looking from the inside out - -

CDR-EVA Looking from the inside out, we want to rotate it - it

looks to me like counterclockwise approximately 15 degrees.
That would cover the top end of the gold that's exposed,
and it would also pull more of it over the bottom end,
where it's not fully deployed. And I really recommend
that we do that.
Day 170 Page 713

ii 16 12 MCC Okay, we copy.

CDR-EVA That's why that water tank ring is hot, then cold
underneath, and then hot again, Paul.

PLT-EVA Yes.

MCC So you want it to go - if you look down there, it's -

low on your right side.

CDR-EVA As I look down there, it's, well - you looking at

me?

MCC Yes.

ii 16 29 CDR-EVA As I look that way, which is minus-X - -

MCC Yes.

CDR-EVA - - it should rotate this way, which means it's low

on the right-hand side.

MCC Okay.

ii 16 40 CDR-EVA Yes. It should go counterclockwise about 15 degrees.

MCC Okay.

CDR-EVA That'd really do the trick.

ll 16 h6 PLT-EVA Hi, Joe, I'm ready for VC. What do we put on here
first?

SPT Okay. Stand by.

CDR-EVA What am I flying over, Rusty?

ll 16 51 MCC You're flying over the chain of islands Just north of

the Dominican Republic now.

CDR-EVA Oh, yes; I recognize it.

SPT CENTER BOOM, EXTEND, right. Unstow S05h from the

VC tree by pushing the button and turning counter-
clockwise. Then you attach it to the boom. Ask
Rusty if he's getting TV. I'm - I'm not near my -
my goober at the moment.
Page714 Day170

ll 17 14 PLT-EVA Getting TV, Rusty?

ll 17 16 MCC Yes, I do. And, EV-3, for your information, we're

going to be going LOS here in about a minute from
now. And so if you do not want the TV on the VTR,
you can turn it off.

SPT Tell them, "Roger."

PLT-EVA Roger. He "Rogers" you. Are you ready, am I ready

to send it down?

SPT Got it out already, huh?

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT ...

ll 17 36 MCC EV-3, in fact, we have stopped the tape recorder and

you have 14 minutes left on it so you can turn it on
when you decide you've got something worth looking at.

SPT Tell them that'll probably be never.

MCC Okay,
now- -

SPT Okay. CENTER BOOM, EXTEND, as directed by EV-2.

EV-2, you verify that they have it properly positioned
in roll.

We'll go with that.

SPT Okay.

CDR-EVA Very nice.

ll 18 05 SPT All right. Now, before you take it, Pete, let me
catch up a couple steps here. Okay?

CDR-EVA Okay.

SPT Yes.

ii 18 13 CDR-EVA Rusty, this boom is really working slick.

 Day170 Page715

MCC Probably' because of the improved water conditions up

there.

ii 18 20 CDR-EVA Okay,stop.

SPT All right, Pete. Pull the S05h door launch lock
D-ring and stow it in the 6lip.

CDR-EVA Wait a minute. •Paul - -

SPT The temporary stowage hook off on your right where

you're going to put the - -

MCC That's the people at Greenwich that do that, not

you guys. Press on.

Page716 Day170

SPT Okay, is the hook unlocked?

PLT-EVA The boom, the boom.

SPT Oh, okay.

PLT-EVA Not the hook, the boom.

SPT Yes.

ll 19 35 CDR-EVA Let me ask you a couple of - I'm going to give you

something for the tape. The pressure is zero, the
magazine reads half-latched; it's a half green, and

age hook and install it.

and receptacle are flush.

PLT-EVA Are we recording anything on this?

CDR-EVA I guess we are, aren't we?

PLT-EVA Voice record?

SPT We should be.

ll 21 34 PLT-EVA Okay. For the next gang: S054 was oscillating when
it came back, and you got to watch it because it
can oscillate enough that a corner could hook under
the blue handrail down there.

CDR-EVA Okay.

ll 21 h7 SPT Yes, we've got our green light on.

CDR-EVA You ready for this? You got zero PRESS. You've got
a completely green latched magazine interface, and
the f_Sm exposure reads zero. And I have a good
lock in there.

SPT Okay. You pushed the button and turned the handle
clockwise; you've got a latched flag?

CDR-EVA Yes, sir.

PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA So you've got to pull to unlock at the bottom.

PLT-EVA You've got to pull to lock the bottom. Hold in that

lock - and pull out at the bottom - -

CDR-EVA ... at the top. Is that really a lever action?

PLT-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA But it won't do it for some reason.

ii 23 12 SPT You mean that the - the - the part where you're
pulling at won't come out? Is that the problem?

CDR-EVA It - It - I cannot - I can't even make the ... pin

cycle outside.

CDR-EVA Darn! Is what l'm saying -

ii 23 35 CDR-EVA I don't understand that. Let me - pull something

here a minute. Try something.

CDR-EVA I'm stumped. Because I can't - I can't make the

pin meter go. The pins are retracted. Okay?

PLT-EVA Yes.

ll 23 53 CDR-EVA But I can't get them to come out even when the door
is open. And there's no interface, is there? There's
no latch - latch - to keep the pins from - -

SPT No. If you got the door locked - -

CDR-EVA I can't ... be able to hold the door, pull out at the
top and push in at the bottom. All right?

PLT-EVA Is the launch lock still stowed?

CDR-EVA Yes.

PLT-EVA Well, Just pull out on it again to be sure.

CDR-EVA Well, I thought about that. I've done it several

times. Let me - let me do that. Let me do that -

SPT Pure persistence, huh?

PLT-EVA ...

ll 24 58 CDR-EVA No, I don't have it either. Doggone it! That -

that thing simply will not move. Interesting thing
is I have a white flag showing, too, which I
don't understand.

PLT-EVA Huh !

the door to UNLOCK? Make sure it was not locked
when you turned the handle.

SPT Your next is going to be 52, Paul.

PLT-EVA Okay.

SPT You close the door, lock it, and verify you got a
white flag.

of shots of the MDA.

SPT Oh, boy!

PLT-EVA No, I Just had - -

CDR-EVA Hey, let me give you - -

SPT Oh, no, no. That's all right. I Just said, "Oh,
boy" because it's got MAIN POWER switch, OFF, here.
It's been scratched out in pencil. Now is it
a good scratch or bad scratch out?

PLT-EVA I don't know.

SPT I don 't either (chuckle).

Victor Tango.

CDE-EVA Man! Is this thing yellow over here. Hoo!

PLT-EVA Well, he doesn't need any more to get out there,

right?

Boy, I got a good location.

SPT Hi there !

CDR-EVA (Laughter)

ll 46 24 PLT-EVA You want me to put the tree on there?

SPT Yes. Your next Job is to take the VS tree and put
it on the boom and lock the hook.

ll 46 30 CDR-EVA Boy, I got a good look at the SAS panel and the
sail. And I agree with you, Joe. That one pole
didn't deploy all the way.

SPT Yes.

CDR-EVA That 's the problem.

SPT Now, before you extend it, Paul, let me get the TV.
I might be able to get a - snatch of it as it goes
by here. You about ready?

ll 46 52 PLT-EVA Yes. Well, I'm still getting it on.

CDR-EVA Yes ... - -

PLT-EVA I'm trying to think which way you want it on the

tree. You want it out there latch down or latch up?

CDR-EVA Well, it - it doesn't make any difference. Run it

any old way.

PLT-EVA Okay.

ll 47 03 CDR-EVA This thing is so much better than the water tank, I

can't believe it.

SPT Latch - a foot away from him is the ideal way. But
as he says, it doesn't really matter.

ll 47 13 CDR-EVA Is this thing still in EXPERIMENT POINTING?

SPT Yes.

PLT-EVA No.

CDR-EVA I got a yes and a no.

CDR-EVA Yes. Hanging on the BET line.

PLT-EVA Is that right? No.

ll 48 02 PLT-EVA I think it'd be easier to put one in the command

module

CDR-EVA You know, at the first time, you really - if

you don't - if you're not careful, and you look
around all of sudden, you get this horrible, sink-
ing feeling you're about to fall into the Earth.
(Laughter )

12 00 39 SPT Hello, Houston.

12 00 40 MCC Hi there. We're reading you loud and clear, and we

got you over Carnarvon for about the next 7 minutes.

SPT Okay. Pete is Just finishing up at the Sun end. He

thinks he saw and identified the speck on S052; we
did not look at it, of course. That is, we didn't
look at the - at the display. And we've been going
from EXPERIMENT POINTING back to SOLAR INERTIAL
while he works down there, because that whole canister
really moves when he is in EXP.

12 01 09 MCC Yes, sir. You should definitely be in - in SOLAR

INERTIAL when he works on it. In fact, the procedure
calls that out, Joe.

SPT Well, I don't think it does, Rusty, but we'll argue

about that over a beer.

CDR-EVA All right. All right.

SPT Okay.

12 01 20 CDR-EVA Now. It's all done. The inside 89_Bhandle is down;

the outside 82B door is locked; they are both in the
thing. What 's next?
J_ Day170 Page
749

SPT Okay. You stand clear.

CDR-EVA Okay.

12 Ol 34 SPT Okay. And I go XUV SPECT POWER/DOOR switch to OFF.

Wait a minute.

CDR-EVA And two things, Rusty. As we started rotating the

canister around - you know, all these things we have
been seeing on the white light coronagraph?

NCC Yes, sir. Go ahead.

12 01 54 CDR-EVA Well, I believe they are coming from inside the ATM,
would you go for that? Because as he started rotat-
ing the canister with the door open, I actually
saw one little piece of - it looked to me like silver
insulation, Mylar type, or whatever, come floating
out of the S052. Okay, now when I got the S052
around to me, I looked down in there and, of course,
I - I stand right over it, so that took care of any
Sun shining back out on me. And in the position
F that I described, it looks, as best I can tell, like
a piece of white thread, if that makes sense, and I
guess it does. There's a lot of white cloth around
in here. And I believe I got it off. The tip on
the outside, anyhow, is as clean as I can see it right
now. And just to make sure, I brushed from inside
out, 360 degrees around, very gently, and there was
no tendency for any hairs to hang up on it. And as
best as I can tell, there were no hairs on it. The
brush worked fine and it remained soft. So, I think
everything's in good shape, and you can get a look
at it later.

12 03 05 MCC Ckay, fine. Thanks very much. Would you guess what
most of those particles are? I understood that at
least one you saw looked like aluminized Mylar or
something like that - -

CDR-EVA Yes. I - I only saw one piece come out. But l'm -
I'm thinking that it - Look, another thing_ when I
pulled S052 film container out, there was a little
washer floating in there, and it was on the container,
next to the container, and I picked that up. We have
continually run across cut outs and blind rivets
floating around inside the spacecraft. And Io and
behold_ l've seen at least one out here floating
Page750 Day170

around, it came floating out of the ATM. So, I still

think this thing is belching itself of whatever wasn't
kept out of it when it was on the ground. It's just
slowly - slowly things are working their way out.

12 03 58 CDR-EVA Let me tell you another thing. I believe it was A-quad

that l'm looking down at from the VC tree station and
the silver insulation - looking plus-X to the left
side, which is in the Sun, is quite blistered all over
the whole side of the service module. You can very
definitely tell it's been in the sunshine for a long
time. The quad itself looks pretty good although there
is paint blistered around it, but not any more so than
on the other quad that I can see. There's white paint
blisters pretty well all over the - the service module,
to the point where some of it flaked off.

12 02 42 MCC Okay, we got you.

12 04 45 SPT Okay, Pete, verify the 82A, 82B, and the XUV M0N doors
are closed. Rusty, it was in the checklist to go
back to SI; it was on the second page of that partic-
ular change. Sorry.

12 04 58 CDR-EVA Okay. All doors are closed, except S054.

12 05 02 SPT Okay. That's good. DAC pushbutton, ON, Paul.

PLT-EVA Yea!

12 05 05 SPT OPERATE light on; unclamp EV-2's LSU.

PLT-EVA Wait a minute. I ain't got the DAC on, yet.

SPT Okay, wait a minute.

CDR-EVA Our biggest problem so far, Rusty, has been that DAC.

12 05 15 SPT Oh, I got a ACS MALF when you hit that particular ...

MCC That's where they got ..., too.

12 05 24 SPT We are dumping. We probably got a CMG SAT there,

momentarily. Houston we got an - am ACS MALF,
probably CMG SAT. We're momentum dumping now.

MCC Okay. We'll see if we can give you some words.

SPT Thank you.

12 05 43 PLT-EVA Okay. What do you want me to do, Joe?

SPT Unclamp Pete's LSU. Pete, you will egress the VS

foot restraints, and go back to the VT.

CDR-EVA l'm on my way. Here come my feet.

, SPT ..., Paul, and clamp it again at, whatever, anyway

you go -

CDR-EVA ... , huh?

PLT-EVA Yes.

SPT ... you may not have to unclamp it. I don't know
what - what Pete usually does about that.

PLT-EVA What I need's a new setting for this DAC in a minute,

Joe, when the Sun sets.

CDR-EVA ...

SPT Okay, I'ii give them to you.

PLT-EVA Just hold it right there, Pete, until I change them,

will you?

12 06 20 CDR-EVA Yes, l'm in the - l'm in the foot restraints. Okay.

l'm perfectly comfy.

PLT-EVA Is that enough umbilical?

CDR-EVA Whee! Is that a pretty - Yes. Is that a pretty sunset.

SPT Oh, really.

CDR-EVA Upside down.

12 06 34 SPT Say when you are ready for settings.

PLT-EVA We got a end-of-film light on this thing with only

75 percent gone.

PLT-EVA Oh, boy! I'ii try it. All right. Give me some
settings.

SPT f/1._- -

CDR-EVA Probably jammed.

SPT - - 1/60.

12 06 52 CDR-EVA You know what happened the last time. Last time we
had one of those end-of-film lights with - I think
I better raise my EV visor. That's one of the reasons
I can't see anything. Oh, that's pretty.

PLT-EVA Okay, f/l.8 and a 60th of a second.

CDR-EVA Hey, you're not going to get any more pictures, I

can tell you that.

SPT Oh, that was the rate gyro, was it? Oh, yes.

MCC Okay, Joe, be advised we are reselecting 2 of 3 of

the Z-axis, for your information on the rate gyros.

SPT Thank you. I just figured out what was wrong.

CDR-EVA Oh, boy. Can I see the lightning on the ground!

Where are we anyhow?

12 07 40 MCC Okay. You're coming up over Indonesia at the present

time.

CDR-EVA Oh, it's a thunderstorm. I see three very bright

fires. I wonder if they are oil well fires?

SPT Okay. You guys ready to pick up?

CDR-EVA Yes, sir.

PLT-EVA
Yes. °

12 07 53 SPT Okay, Pete, you want to go to VS tree on the recep-

tacle there.

CDR-EVA All righty.

SPT And, Paul, send the boom back down. And, Pete, at-
tach the tree to the boom.

PLT-EVA Going to lock it?

there.

CDR-EVA Hold it.

PLT-EVA That's good. Right there.

SPT Get a still shot of that?

PLT-EVA Yes.

12 08 46 MCC Okay. We're about to get LOS here at Carnarvon. We'll

be picking you up at Guam in about 5 or 6 minutes.

CDR-EVA Okay. You can go ahead and retract it now, Paul.

PLT-EVA Oh! There is a little lightning on the ground, isn't

there?

CDR-EVA Yes.

CDR-EVA We really aren't across this terminator; the Sun

never really goes down. We get the super long sunset.
It is really -

12 09 41 PLT-EVA Well, I took a picture. I don't know if it'll come

out or not. It's pretty dark - it's pretty dark. I
gave it the same settings you're using on the DAC,
just for something to do.

SPT Okay. You got it coming back?

PLT-EVA It's back and stowed.

SPT Whoopee! Okay. Sun end boom, retract fully, and fold
the hook.

CDR-EVA Well, if the DAC is still running - I can see the green
light flashing still.

PLT-EVA Anyway - he's running it anyway, just in case.

_ CDR-EVA Yes.

12 i0 17 SPT All right, all right. When - when that's done, then
you unclamp and manage Pete's LSU. And, Pete, you go
to D024.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Well, now hold it. What I want to do is l'm going

to pull this sail material out here, if I can, and I
got it in my hands.

SPT Oh, very good.

CDR-EVA Because I don't think I can get it out over there,

you know.

SPT Yes, all righty. Hold it in your teeth, now.

CDR-EVA Well, i'm trying to. Okay. Now -

PLT-EVA See if I can get out of here.

12 i0 50 CDR-EVA Okay, Now here I come. These handrails are superior.

This is so good, I can't believe it. Too bad we don't
have these all the way in, because this is the way to
go.

PLT-EVA The doubles? Yes, aren't they neat?

CDR-EVA Now, they want the cap con [? ] out, right?

PLT-EVA Oh, I like this.

CDR-EVA I think what you got to do is Just take your time.

12 ll 47 PLT-EVA Umbilical management is really no sweat, I think.

SPT No, I didn't think so either - particularly.

PLT-EVA Man, did this suit just bite me, on the inside of
the elbow.

SPT (Laughter)

12 12 O1 CDR-EVA Wow.

PLT-EVA What's the matter, are you lost?

SPT How would you ... the problem in the water?

CDR-EVA No, no, l'm talking about putting this thing on.

PLT-EVA Oh. Well, can I help you?

i

CDR-EVA Well, i think I'm going to have to do it this way.

12 12 28 CDR-EVA Where are you, Joe?

SPT Where am I?

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT Inside the MDA.

CDR-EVA I don't see your nose pressed to the window.

SPT No, I was - I keep trying to reconfigure - push the

bag out of the way with the umbilical, get the TV -
it's just floating around - and catch the solar radio
_- noise burst monitor activities.

12 12 52 PLT l'm going to turn this camera off.

PLT-EVA It's still taking up film - film's going in it.

SPT You think so, huh?

PLT-EV Why, I can see it moving.

CDR-EVA Man, oh, man. The dumb ... I got it.

PLT-EVA Is i_ big enough?

CDR-EVA Oh, okay. Sure that's fine.

12 13 34 PLT-EVA Well, let me see how far out I can get on this umbilical.
I got a clamp. By the time I get to you, you'll
probably be done.

CDR-EVA Well, no, I was holding.

PLT-EVA All right. Just a minute.

CDR-EVA You're pushing me. Are you - not?

PLT-EVA Not yet, not yet.

CDR-EVA Something's rotating me.

12 14 00 PLT-EVA Well, l'm pushing on your umbilical.

SPT Now, I see you.

CDR-EVA Gosh darn it.

PLT-EVA What am I hanging up on?

CDR-EVA Impossible task.

PLT-EVA Your umbilical was hanging back, you may not have - -

CDR-EVA No, the SOP was hanging up.

PLT-EVA Okay.

CDR-EVA Whoo!

PLT-EVA I can see your gages from here.

CDR-EVA How do they look?

PLT-EVA ... All your lights are on.

CDR-EVA Gosh darn it!

CDR-EVA Wait a minute.

PLT-EVA Right under that piece you're hanging on to.

SPT Now there's something I wish I had a picture of.

PLT-EVA What ?

SPT I'ii show Pete when he gets back in. Stay right
where you are a minute, Paul. l'm going to try to
take your picture there.

PLT-EVA Oh, yes.

CDR-EVA Gosh darn it.

PLT-EVA That's - that's my foot.

CDR-EVA An impossible task. Boy, this has got to be the

toughest one of them all.

12 15 17 PLT-EVA Get back up on top. I'ii grab you on either side

with my feet.

CDR-EVA I can't get back up on top. My - oh - it's rotated

around now. There, how's that? Gosh darn stuff is
tough to handle out here. Doesn't want to do what I
want it to do - at all. Real simpleidea. All I
want it to do is stay straight.

12 15 57 MCC And, Skylab; Houston. We've got you for about

the next 5-1/2 minutes.

CDR-EVA I wish I knew who kept inventing these neato things

like putting sails around. It's the toughest task
in the EVA. Well, I got it --

SPT Looks like I got some lightning in that picture.

CDR-EVA I got it; I got it all done_

PLT-EVA Don't touch it; don't touch itS...

12 16 16 CDR-EVA No, how'd you like your thermal? See, l'm going to

SPT Get configured and give me an EMU status reading.

CDR-EVA Whoo. That's the most work of the whole EVA.

PLT-EVA Oh, boy.

CDR-EVA 3.7. Okay, it's on there.

CDR-EVA All right. We've got one light - No, I guess

that's a - must be the running light, not an EVA light.
Hey, Joe.

lights, but the ... lights - rende - not the - you
know, you know what I'm talking about. The running
lights?

12 17 18 PLT-EVA No, I don't think we can. Can we?

SPT I really don't know, Paul. What were the lights

you were turning on and off?

PLT-EVA They were on the upper right-hand side of the panel

there.

SPT Well, stand by.

PLT-EVA I guess they're tracking and docking, I think.

CDR-EVA Docking is what I wanted .... it's the white light

right next to D024 there.

SPT Is that it?

CDR-EVA Really ... - no, forget it.

SPT Is that it?

CDR-EVA No, that's the flasher.

12 17 47 PLT-EVA That's the tracking light.

CDR-EVA Well -

SPT Okay, then - then I can't.

CDR-EVA Okay; never mind.

SPT Hey, are you ready for D024?

PLT-EVA Let me get your umbilical out of the way here.

MCC Troops, if you want the docking lights on, we can

command them on from the ground if you like.

SPT Okay.

CDR-EVA Well, I guess I can read D024. There's a nice white

light mounted on it, right?

SPT Should be. Yes.

CDR-EVA Well, that's all right. I can read it. A, B, 5-

SPT I want you to remove the container A pip pin and verify
that the container is not stuck.

CDR-EVA Just a second.

PLT-EVA Don't I move this DAC before ingress, Joe?

12 18 45 CDR-EVA Okay, I can move the container and it's not stuck.

SPT Yes, on F-7. All right, Pete, lift the latch handles
on the container A, rotate them counterclockwise and
lift the cover.

CDR-EVA Okay; F-7-

SPT That F-7 was for Paul for the camera.

PLT-EVA Yes, I can't - I don't see any F-7.

CDR-EVA Okay.

PLT-EVA I don't know where it is either.

CDR-EVA All right.

SPT All right.

SPT All right. Pull strip panel A pin pin, pull the
handle to release, and stow the strip panel in the
container, large hole, handle first, samples toward
the hinge.

CDR-EVA Okay. Wow. Did it fly off of there.

12 19 48 CDR-EVA Okay. It's in.

SPT Okay. Pull disk panel A pip pin. Pull the handle
to release the panel, and stow it in the container,
handle first, samples towards the hinge.

may be running a little low on your diverter there,
as f_r as which half has taken out the cooling. And
we've got about 40 seconds to LOS here at Guam; we'll
be seeing you in the States at Goldstone at 12:38.

12 20 38 CDR-EVA Okay. It's stowed.

SPT Okay, verify that the container seal is clear - -

CDR-EVA Yes.

SPT - - and then close it.

CDR-EVA Okay.

12 21 05 CDR-EVA Okay, that's one of them.

CDR-EVA Okay, now you want the pip pins back in, right?

SPT Well, what it says, Pete, is to remove the container

from the panel, tether it, and then replace all three
pip pins.

CDR-EVA I get two of them free. Just one of these tasks where
you got no foot restraints. You're going one-handed -
you know?

PLT-EVA Uh-huh.

SPT I know it, there's absolutely - there's always - -

CDR-EVA There's such a thing as - -

SPT I keep insisting that - -

CDR-EVA All they'd had to have done was put a set of foot
restraints in and you'd have it made.

SPT I tell you, any time you don't have the proper
restraints -

CDR-EVA Yes.

12 21 47 PLT-EVA You want to hand me the container?

PLT-EVA Look at that town down there, Pete.

CDR-EVA Where?

PLT-EVA Right down there, over your right shoulder.

SPT Yes.

PLT-EVA Well, wait a minute.

12 22 30 SPT The way this is written, the EV-2 keeps it - -

want to give it to EV-I and then take it again - You're

to the airlock.

of this thing.

SPT And the object is for you to keep his LSU out of the
way while he goes in and then he - Pete, you re sup-
posed to stow it yourself back in the aft airlock,
once you're in.

12 23 33 CDR-EVA Lock it.

PLT-EVA Here I thought I was doing such a good job.

CDR-EVA Well, I was going to say something to you when you

first started talking about shoving that in the air-
lock. Then I said no.

behind him.

now and do it over again and do it right. That's the
only way you guys are going to learn.

CDR-EVA Yes.

in.

PLT-EVA Okay, that fit kind of tight out there.

CDR-EVA What did? Oh, the hold-open rod.

CDR-EVA Yes. You know, to get the hatch open - another blind

SPT Let's cheek it here, if I can figure it out. Let's

see, i hour and 36 minutes. (Laughter) Isn't that
a faiMliar-sounding number?

SPT 1:36 from hatch to hatch.

CDR Okay.

SPT Okay, airlock redress, EV-I_ panel 318, LOCK COMPART-

MENT DEPRESS valve to CLOSE.

12 33 21 CDR All right, it's CLOSED.

SPT Okay, l'm going to make a 2-minute hack here. You're

to monitor the pressure for 2 minutes to verify lock
pressure integrity. Should be about 0.2 at that time.

PLT My suit's down to 3.5, already.

CDR Whoo !

PLT And it's still coming down.

CDR Yes.

12 33 45 SPT ... reads about 0.i in the lock.

PLT It's co_ing up. I can see the gage. (Singing)

SPT Okay, while we're waiting, I will read the note. The
repress note. During repress, EV-I and 2 SUIT PRESS
light will come on and CAUTION/WARNING RAPID DELTA-P

SPT Well, the - the next crew can rig the hammer with a
rope - -

CDR Yes.

12 _5 00 SPT - - that goes through a specially built hole in the

side hatch, so all you got to do is pull on it - -

PLT Well, l'm down to 3.2.

CDR l'm down to 3.2, also.

CREW ...

12 35 49 SPT ... DELTA-P. Whoo, it's coming down in here.

CDR Yes .... and a half, 3, 3.5, 4. It should come out

at about 4 or 5. What do you read, Joe?

SPT Yes, it looks like it. I got 4.8 in here right now.
You are coming up through 4.5, 4.6 to 4.8 - -

12 36 20 PLT Hatch is open ... looks like.

SPT 4.6 to 4.8. Let me give it a little tug.

PLT Oh, wait, l've got to move this tree.

SPT Man, it's blistered to - to the ...

PLT Yes, hold it. Let me move the tree.

SPT All right now--

CDR No, no. Get that handle open - that hatch open.

12 26 41 SF@ There's nothing in here about moving this right now.

PET No.

SPT I'm reading the checklist.

PLT Okay.

SPT And it says the aft hatch first.

CDR The aft hatch is crossed out; we don't do that.

3PT It's crossed out, but I'm reading the crossed out
stuff.

_2 %6 5L PLT Not that one; the aft hatch is already open.

CDR That's the aft ... - -

SPT Oh, l'm sorry. That's right. Okay. That's funny

because the ne;_t step is move to suit donning station.
Okay.(Laughter)

PLT All right. - -

CDR The - the OWS - That's right, because the OWS hatch - -

PLT Yes.

CDR - - would have been opened.

PLT Have you got the VC tree?

CDR Here it is.

PLT Okay. Go to equalize on the dome hatch, Pete.

PLT Yes, isn't that next, Joe?

SPT (Singing) Well, it says move to OWS, so you -

you are on your own.

CDR I have to go to UNLOCK first, right?

SPT Open the OWS hatch, release handle to unlock hatch

handle to equalize PRESS and wait until PRESS is
equal,then you can open the hatch.
Day170 Page775

12 37 48 PLT Do you want to take this tree?

SPT l'm snapping the hatch now.

PLT Oh. Okay.

CDR Paul?

PLT What?

CDR The same thing applies here, right?

SPT I got it now.

12 37 55 CDR The OWS is higher than we are, right?

PLT Yes.

CDR All right, just go to OPEN.

PLT Yes.

CDR Whenever it equalizes, it will open.

12 38 05 PLT Yes. I can hear it coming in.

CDR Yes. I can feel it on my ears.

12 38 15 MCC Okay, Skylab. We've got you over Coldstone on the

stateside pass here for about i0 minutes.

CDR Roger. We're in; up complete.

MCC 0kay, we'd like to know if you are through using the
VTR; we're set up for real time and INCO can dump
the tape recorder.

SPT Tell him yes. Yes.

CDR Yes.

SPT We are done with it.

MCC Okay. And, Joe, depending upon what your time scale
looks like, if we can power up for some VTR - for
some S052 white light to take a look at it, we would
appreciate that. But that depends on your time line
and we've got a procedure standing by if you'd like
us to read it to you.

PLT Okay. We are doing post-EVA, Rusty. He'll get back

to you when he can.

I'4CC Okay, no sweat.

PLT Okay. They got a month to look at it.

MCC Negative. We don't get the down-link.

PLT Yes, that's right. We want to verify that we get

that - -

SPT You're right.

PLT - - thing off.

12 39 17 SPT I'ii give it to them in just a second.

PLT Yes.

SPT As soon as I get a tether around that beauty. You

guys mind holding here for a minute?

PLT No. Not at all.

CDR The OWS hasn't equalized yet anyhow.

SPT Okay, Houston. Let me get a pencil. Go ahead.

MCC Okay, Joe, you can just do it as we're calling it

out if you want.

PLT Okay, I'ii relay - Roger.

PLT Okay, go ahead. I'ii relay for him.

MCC Okay, we want the FINE SUN SENSOR DOOR to OPEN, and
verify that's open and then go into EXPERIMENT POINT-
ING MODE. Following that, we want to - -

12 39 56 SPT Wait' Wait' Wait a minute. It's open, but it's

not snug. You know, it - the talkbaek reads OPEN;
it should be snug.

PLT Are we still dumping?

.SPT We are at half SI_ we are not dumping.

MCC I think that's - stand by on that. It looks as thoug_

we are about 6 degrees out of attitude, presently.
Hold on. Why don't you just press on and we'll get
back with you.

SPT Yes.

12 40 18 PLT All right, Joe, the FINE SUN SENSOR DOOR is OPEN.

CDR Paul?

PLT What?

CDR Let me give you the hammer.

PLT It's right there.

SPT I don't know why -

PLT Yes.

12 40 29 SPT Rusty, just as we came up on sunrise on this pass,

I was looking out the window and I noticed the ATM
go into an attitude maneuver. At the time, I assumed
it was the third dump maneuver, but maybe it overdid
itself.

SPT Okay.

12 40 43 MCC Okay, we're looking at it right now.

12 40 44 SPT All right. We've got the suit temperatures, the VS - -

CDR Where do we go, the suit donning stations?

PLT Yes.

SPT Open the hatch - -

CDR Okay.

SPT We're at "Tether the VC tree." EV-I moves to the OWS.

CDR Uh-oh.

12 40 56 SPT EV-3 manages EV-I's LSU for ...

Page778 D_y170

CDR Go ahead.

SPT And EV-I and 2 go to the EV-I and 2 cue cards.

CDR Yes, that's down here.

SPT And I'm about to deactivate suit cooling 02 and comm.

CDR Now wait a minute. Do we turn the DAC on?

i2 41 12 SPT Holy mackerel!

PLT The DAC?

CDR Yes, for MI51.

SPT That may be on your cue card; it's not on mine.

CDR Well - Yes. I'm - l'm halfway there. And I'm going
to rock it over here and turn it on (laughter). There's
some film left, anyhow. They may want that.

12 41 27 PLT Well, I'm not going to be down there for a while.

CDR You aren't?

PLT No.

CDR Well, I'ii hold it .... itself.

PLT Okay. I'ii get it when I come down.

CDR Matter - matter of fact, there's only 15 percent left.

12 41 38 PLT Are you done, Joe?

SPT Am I done? No, I've got the - ... doffing, you know,
and all that other stuff?

PLT No, no, no. With this S052 thing.

12 hl 50 SPT Well, l'm going to hold, because if we're 6 degrees

off of the Sun, there ain't no way they are going to
get - -

PLT Well, how about paying out my umbilical then? And

I'll go below.

SPT You bet you. That I'ii be happy to do.

PLT Can you put that someplace like - where is ... Here.

SPT Okay. Press on down and I'ii - -

CDR Well, it does say "Push button on." There's not going
to be much film, but go ahead.

PLT Yes. I'ii be over ... - -

CDR Push it on down.

12 42 13 PLT All right.

12 42 36 CDR Hey, Rusty, you there?

12 42 37 MCC Yes, we are.

12 42 38 CDR Okay. My appraisal of looking at the orange on the

sail is that, other than slightly flat, it has not
lost its original color at all.

F MCC Okay. Understand it's just like the sheen has gone
off it, but about the same color.

CDR That's my appraisal, yes.

12 43 04 SPT Okay; beautiful. Now you - you guys go on your cue

cards.

PLT Yes.

CDR PRESS SELECT to OFF and doff the gloves.

SPT Soon as you get your helmets and gloves off, l'm
going to start securing up here.

CDR Okay.

PLT Well, you're supposed to go PRESS SELECT, OFF, first.

PLT I can't believe it.

CDR What?

PLT I - I was - I was putting up the hammer (laughter)

and saying to myself, "I can't believe it." It
actually worked.
Page78Q Day170

CDR Rusty?

SPT I thought I would share with Rusty our little simile.

We used a hammer and a feather out there today and
did some good with both of them.

12 44 _0 MCC ... 2.

_C Okay. And, Joe, we can proceed on now. We're back

in SOLAR INERTIAL. We - What we did was a CMG reset
there, right at the last maneuver, we ended up in a
CMG reset maneuver.

SPT Ha!

CDR Just what I ... Joe.

SPT Okay. Second should be in.

PLT If you can hold the eomm lines up like that. l've
got to get my umbilical over to where I can push the
buttons.

CDR Tired of this thing being so stubborn. All right.

Now that's down.

SPT Okay. Go. Oh - Wait a minute. I got SUN and I go

to EXP. And l'm there, and _ress on.

12 h4 55 MCC £kay. Just go ahead and point to Sun center. And we

want *** and the DOOR, OPEN.

CDR Come on.

SPT In work. Goodness, that's hard to believe.

12 45 30 SPT Incidentally, the - magazine check on 52 went well.

12 45 35 MCC Okay, Joe, then after you get the door open, we want
to go the MIRROR POSITION to TV; the SYNC GENERATOR
to PRIM, and WLC TV POWER, ON.

SPT Okay. MIRROR - MIRROR should have been in TV; and,

indeed, I don't have a READY light. The other two
switches are on and - -

MCC And, of course, we'll need you to select, whichever

monitor you bring it up on, on the video switch for
US.
Pay170 Page

SPT I'ii select MON i, because it's already on.

SPT I'ii select MON i, because it's already on.

CDR Well, that wasn't too bad for a couple of amateur

EV-I and 2's, seeing that's not our regular role.
That i plus 36 sound familiar to you, Rusty?

12 h6 29 MCC Roger; i plus 36 seconds sounds very good to me.

SPT I thought I was especially good in my new bit part

as EV-3.

CDR But we had to keep urging him on, though.

SPT (Laughter)

CDR EV-3?

SPT Yes?

12 46 58 CDR What are you up to?

SPT l'm doing white light corona - Hey, the door's not
open. What's going on here?

MCC And, EV-3, we can reset that ACS alert light, if you'd
like us to.

PLT That's CMG MALF, and no sweat.

CDR Are your switches and doors ...? Did you set the
DOORS, OPEN?

SPT ... having a problem here. Yes, I've given it -

MCC Okay. Joe, ... - -

12 47 26 SPT Yes. l've given it the DOOR, OPEN, two times now and
it's - it's going white and then it's going back to
barber pole. I suspect we may be more than 5 arc min-
utes off, although the fine Sun sensor doesn't think
we are.

12 47 44 MCC Okay, Joe. Did you reenable power to the door? I

guess that's the only thing I can think of right off
the bat. And how long does it stay white before it
goes back to barber pole?
Page
782 Day170

12 47 55 SPT Not too long; 4 or 5 seconds. I did enable the PRIM

to reenable the primary motor per the procedure. And,
indeed, I have a barber pole talkback which tends to
verify that. AUTO DOOR is NORMAL; MAIN POWER is ON;
l've gone from FAST SCAN to STANDARD MODE.

MCC Okay. And do you have the MIRROR to - to TV -

WLC POWER? And, remember it has a 90-second warmup!
there; so we may not see anything else right away.

SPT Yes, but that's got nothing to do with the door not
- not coming open. The door ought to come open.
l'm going to command it closed just to - and it, you
know, immediately goes barber pole again. Now_ l'm
going to command it open again.

CDR We'll hold at out present configuration.

SPT Now, it goes white and it's st_ring white and it's
still white and the - Ha! We may just make it this
time. Doggone it!

PLT Whileyou didthat,I could- _

SPT Wait a minute. No, we didn't make it.

PLT ... didn't notice that malf.

CDR It went back again.

SPT It went back to barber pole then, Rusty.

MCC Okay, All right. Stand by, Joe. Why don't you press
on, Joe. Let us take a look at it here and we'll get
back.

CDR Wait, wait. Paul, Paul. Hold it. Man, are you strung
out! (Laughter)

CDR That's funny. (Laughter) I was waiting for you to

let go a whistle back in the (laughter) food locker.
Hey, Rusty, you there?

12 49 33 MCC Yes, sir. Go ahead.

12 49 34 CDR We'll hold right here in our suits until he gets that
S052 door open. I hear another job coming (laughter).

12 49 4_ CDR Don't get too far undressed.

PLT Ha, ha.

CDR Oh, l'm serious. When you get the door mungor some-
thing, why -

PLT That's a hard door to pin open.

12 49 56 MCC I hope that we can disregard that on you.

12 49 58 SPT Hey, Rusty?

12 50 00 MCC Yes, sir. We got you on TV, real time right now down
there in the OWS. Go ahead, Joe.

SPT I have opened - I opened H-alpha 2 and we' re far from

being Sun-centered. So, let me manually zero the
fine Sun sensors, which is what our problem was all
along, I think.

CDR Ha, ha. I'm going to ... in the TV.

SPT Yes.

CDR The wedges get off scale?

SPT It sure looks that way.

CDR Yes.

SPT Whoops! There we go. That one just zeroed.

CDR I tell you - -

12 50 46 SPT Now, let me zero the other one.

CDE When, in Sl, I get ... when I moved, hanging on to that

canister.

SPT That one didn't zero. Maybe it did. Wait a minute.

Maybe it did zero. Yes, the UP/DOWN, FINE SUN SENSOR
is - is going sticky - sticking on me here, Houston.
I'm going to have to drive it way off.

MCC Okay, understand you're trying to rezero those - the

wedges there. We concur with that. Looking at the ACS
SUN SENSORS, they both indicate that you are, in
fact, Sun-centered. So, let's try rezeroing and hope
that works.
Page
784 Day170

SPT Okay.

12 52 03 SPT The UP/DOWN wedge has that peculiar problem in it

where you have to drive it clean off the Sun and
then back on it. It - it's coming on now.

12 52 I0 MCC All right, there is some suspicion you may be on the

back side of the wedge.

SPT I know, but it was stuck before. (Laughter)

CDR Yes, we'll get it.

12 52 27 SPT Now, let me zoom that beauty out. I think we're on

the front side now, Houston. Now I'Ii try opening
the door again.

12 53 00 SPT Okay, the door is open; l've got a READY light, l'm
centering up. And let me select WHITE LIGHT CORONA-
GRAPH. And go to TV position .... - -

MCC Okay, we've got it right now.

MCC And it looks like it's gone - it looks like a very

good job, guys.

SPT Of course.

MCC There is a little hit of trash floating around out

there, but other than that, it looks great.

SPT Isn't that something?

CDR Let me tell you why I think there's trash floating

around out there. Because even in SI, when I was
out there hanging on to that canister - the railing
that's on the canister - l'd move that canister.
And if there's anything loose inside there, again,
like - I think, when we first saw all those things
after docking and everything, we just - whatever
was floating around in there we knocked loose,
and I think I shook things loose.

MCC Okay. By the way, Joe, you can go ahead and close
it up now, and you can take it right back to the
configuration it was in; that is, SI with all the
doors closed, the SYNC GENERATOR, OFF; and the WLC
POWER, OFF; and we're about to get LOS here over
the States. And we'll be picking you up over
Vanguard at 13:03.

PLT Okay.

12 54 26 CDR What did you do, Joe?

12 54 27 SPT Oh, ! closed the doors without going WLC TV POWER to

OFF. Goldang it. Any time I do something without a
checklist_ I screw up. Okay, POWER, OFF; all doors,
closed. Well, aren't they all? No, H-alpha's got
to come closed. Fine Sun - No, I'ii wait on that;
I'ii go SI first - Sl. Close the fine Sun sensor
door. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay, you guys on
your cue cards?

PLT Yes, and we're ready for you to turn that LSU power
off or whatever you got to do.

SPT Yes, that stuff. Okay.

PLT Joe, let us know what you're ready for us to unhook.

SPT Have you got helmets and gloves off?

PLT Yes.

SPT Good. Okay. Well. Let me read what l'm supposed

to do here. SUS i, HEAT EXCHANGER COOLANT FLOW to
BYPASS (laughter); SUS i, EVA lights, off; SUS 2 to

shutter front looks fine, and the film footage looks
about 1220.

15 05 32 SPT Hello, B channel. This is for both the stowage people

andthe EVA Checklist people. The EVA Checklist,
page 3.1-9 - the - In the right-hand column, the
universal mount, the EVA universal mount, instead of
being put back -put in F525, is in F523, which is
where it was obtained. The checklist also had the
wrong stowage place when they had you get it out. The
DAC power pack is not in F550 because we have leftover
and overage food in 550 and are using 554 as a trash
locker. So the DAC power pack is now in F554. Thank
you.

15 23 10 CDR Okay, B channel, for whatever it's worth, I put the

S056 in H-alpha i stowage bag instead of locker 157.
The S056-bag was all puffied up and, when I cut it,
it - it had a good smell of cleaning fluid or some-
thing came out of it. The H-alpha I bag was not
puffed up.

15 37 21 SPT B channel, SPT for the stowage people. ! put two

wrist tethers that I think we carried up with us in
the command module in locker Dh22 where the other
ones are. End of message.

SPT And, B channel, this is the SPT in a confessional

mood. The M133 experiment people are going to be
wondering all day today what happened to the first
3 hours of the SPT's flight data. And the - the fact
is he forgot to plug his cap in-, woke up 3 hours into
the night, realized it, plugged in his cap, and gave
you the rest. So I got 3 hours more sound sleep thsn
you know about. End of Message.

15 41 12 PLT Hello, B channel, this is the PLT with the answer to

the aerospace medic people about what happened to the
PLT's biomed today. The reason for poor biomed came
to light as the PLT was breezily doffing his 0PS,
because the PLT forgot during donning to put any
sponges in the electrodes. What can I say?" I owe
somebody a beer. That is all.

15 45 07 SPT And for the stowage people once again from the SPT.
A long time ago, we put a bunch of empty ba_s, such
as high-power cable bags and like that, in locker D42h.
Now that all the desiccants are back in there, there
isn't room for them. I transferred them to locker 554,
the empty food locker in which various junk is being
put. The follow-on crews can throw them away if
they don't need them; we're saving them out of instinct
that they might be useful sometime. End of message.

15 47 32 SPT And, B channel, once again for the stowage people

and the food people. The desiccants that were in the

there, and tromping it down and blocking it in, and
that takes care of them. We have %apes in the proper
place, but I suspect that you - you shouldn't use
those locations. Or spell it out in some different
manner to the other crews, or advise them that they
(yawn) are rather beat up right now. And that's about
the size of it for FI2 and 13.

18 01 47 SPT Okay, B channel. This is the SPT at 18:00 with the

report on the Earth terrain camera inspection. The
camera was inspected, and its vacuum connection appears
to be normal. Both the spare magazine, which leaked,
and the good magazine, which didn't, were inspected.
And their fittings appear to be normal, with no dirt,
and nothing broken, and no seals missing. And the
only difference I can detect between the two magazines
is that the tube that mates with the vacuum fitting
on the spare magazine appears to be about cne thirty-
secondth inch shorter than the one on the good maga-
zine. I've taken photographs of the two of them to-
gether and also of the camera with the Nikon. In those
photographs, the spare magazine is marked with an F
on graytape. End of message.

SPT ... 37 and 34, and 348, 348 - 348? I'm not all
sure we'll have that star. 348, shoot .... 348.

PLT You ain't there, either.

CDR Well, look at the sextant.

Day 173 Page 807

SPT There's nothing there. Ha, ha, ha. How about that?

CDR There is or there isn't?

SPT There's not. And I wouldn't expect there to be, really.

CDR Why?

SPT Because it asks for a trunnion angle that - figuring

it can go to.

CDR Oh. Well, I wonder why it does that?

06 20 06 SPT I don't know. It went right to the stop. Let's -

the question asks for 40.

CDR 40 and h5 were the two that I got the last time.

SPT 62 and 289 are the ... angles.

CDR That's what took me so darn long the other day.

SPT Yes; 62 and - oh, shoot, the trunnion is still 353.

What the heck is the matter with the trunnion? I
better zero the optics. I'm getting hung up here.

CDR Did it zero all right?

06 21 26 SPT Yes, it zeroed okay. I'm waiting for 15 seconds,

while I'm calling the program back. Okay. I'm
off it. Now, try it in that. 62 and 289 at 28.9
... I think it's going in the right direction.

CDR Oh-oh. It's quite an ...

SPT The h0 is no good.

CDR Well, 37 will come in here in a - in a little while.

We don't need to get the 52 right now. We can go
ahead with this - -

06 22 12 SPT Let me try this again. It shouldn't take a trunnion

angle as - Stupid thing can't ... F_ybe it had
rocks in its head. Look at that now, wait a minute.
No, that's all right; I was reading that wrong.
It was 334.8, but the trunnion had gone to 353 - had
gone back as far as it could go. It was Just hung
up. It should be all right now.
Page808 Day173

CDR Okay.

06 22 41 SPT Yes, we got a star.

CDR Very good. That was 37, wasn't it?

SPT Yes. No - 44. Gosh, good grief. Oh, wait a minute.

Sure is a lot of structures out there. We got our star,
though .... system. Aw, I'll take it. Four b_]ls l,
Pete.

CDR Yes. Yes. Okay, wait'll I write it down. Plus

00.120, minus 00.218, minus 00.101. The time,
13:30 - 13:30:35. Okay, gang, go to PO0.

SPT It's yours.

06 24 23 CDR Stow the optics.

SPT In work.

06 2h 38 CDR And we can pass the aspirin around because it says to

don helmets and gloves and do a suit integrity check.

SPT Okay.

CDR Now. Will you put my couch straight out for this?

SPT ... so that I can.

CDR And that way I can get this suit thing done. Maybe
you ought to move your hatch over to the other side.

SPT Well - -

PLT I don't know whether it will go or not.

SPT I don't either. Let's leave it where it is.

06 25 22 CDR You can zip your suit back up again for the - let's
get the check done.

SPT We'll have to (laughter).

CDR Yes.

SPT The hatch is nice and locked in there.

 Day173 Page809

PLT Now, wait a minute. Oh, boy.

SPT There, there you go.

PLT Okay. You are ... aren't you?

CDR Yes. Okay. We've done enough of these recently; we

ought to get through this pretty ... snappy.

06 26 05 CDR Man, all those helmets and gloves shouldn't go on

the floor.

SPT Yes. Wouldn't that be nice?

PLT What are you talking about? Maneuvering the whole

cluster?

CDR/SPT Yes.

PLT Because the front of the radiator is warm.

CDR Yes.

_ PLT The radiator - of all things. See, so all you got to

do is go ptt-ptt ...

SPT I know. Half a Jillion - Jillionth of a percent ...

CDR Really kind of hacks you off, ...

SPT ...

CDR Oh, darn. We'll wind up saving the stinking mess.

SPT Oh, heck.

CDR What's the matter?

SPT Helmet won't come out.

CDR ... it won't come out. I think it will eventually.

SPT It sure is tighter than it was when I stuck it down

in there. How can that be?

PLT Your couch folded or flat?

SPT Well, the couch was ... half an hour ago.

Page
810 Day173 -

PLT Oh.

SPT Whoops! I ... leave it out.

PLT Going to put them on now, eh?

CDR Yes, let's get it done. We get those hats ... it

PLT Yes, you're right.

06 28 O1 CDR Everybody read me all right?

SPT/PLT Yes.

CDR Okay. Read you the same.

CDR Everybody's hose is red to red, blue to blue?

SPT Blue to blue and red to red.

Valsalva device. Got it.

SPT And now it's ... whoops.

PLT All right. All right?

SPT Yes.

PLT Looking good. I can get it.

06 29 39 CDR You guys wouldn't like to spend i0 days going to the

Moon in one of these command modules.

PLT It could be a very nice trip.

CDR ,..

SPT Like, going to the - seeing the Moon part would be

a lot of fun, though living for i0 days in the
COmmand module? I could do without that. I've done
it in one g, and that's ...
.... Day173 Page811

CDR That's Just because you and I and P. J. are the only
ones that know how nice it ...

SPT That's right.

CDR All right. Are you ready for this?

PLT ..., Pete. You going to - you going to stay down

there Joe?

SPT Yes.

PLT Because there ain't no room for me in my couch.

_ SPT You'reaskingme? I'm not knowing.

PLT I don't know.

SPT ...

PLT Huh? Oh, here it is.

CDR Well, don't worry about it right now. Okay. SUIT

CIRCUIT RETURN valve is going CLOSED.

PLT Want me to read to you, or are you J_t going to

read it yourself?

06 30 37 CDR Well, you can read to me.

PLT All right. Where are you?

CDR Page 2-78.

PLT Right at the top?

CDR Yes.

06 30 59 PLT Okay. DIVERTER valve to vertical.

CDR Right.

SPT Okay.

PLT And mine are. Hoses red to red, blue to blue; comm
hooked up?

CDR Yes.

SPT Yes.

PLT Okay, DIRECT 02 valves, CLOSE, clockwise.

SPT/CDR It is.

PLT Suit pressure reads 5.0.

06 31 22 CDR And 02 FLOW is 0.2.

PLT Okay. Do you understand the caution note?

CDR SUIT TEST valve should remain in the PRESS position,

yes, sir, until suit circuit pressure is stabilized
to preclude seals scarring .... still on. Okay.
You ready?

PLT Yes.

CDR Here we go. Now let's Just let it come up slow. We

got plenty of time.

PLT Okay, you got SUIT TEST valve to PRESS? You got the
DIRECT 02, OPEN?

CDR Coming OPEN, now. We're going to get an 02 HIGH FLOW.

SPT Yes.

06 32 20 PLT Oh - that came all of a sudden.

CDR That was me. I cranked on more direct 02 .

Day173 Page813

PLT Yes.

SPT It's amazing what this does to make the spacecraft

smaller. Well, I have a DIRECT 02 - HIGH 02 FLOW.
We got that inhibited?

CDR We very well may be.

SPT 02 FLOW is 9 Charlie. It is inhibited for some reason.

PLT Okay, coming up to 7.

CDR Okay. The suit - -

PLT I'm off the peg.

SPT I'm off the peg.

CDR I'll go ahead and get off the DIRECT 02, and let it
bring itself up, right?

PLT Okay.

06 33 06 CDR DIRECT 02 is OFF. Well, I'll put it there at 3.0

right
now.

SPT It'll be a while.

PLT Yes. Why don't you go ahead and enable that CAUTION
& WARNING if you can, Joe?

06 33 26 SPT Okay. Now, that was one panel we did not configure
yet.

PLT If it's any work, don't bother with it.

SPT Oh, it's work.

CDR What are we supposed to do? Recheck the suit loop?

SPT Yes, yes, the short one.

CDR Okay.

PLT Oh, and did you open and close the suit circuit return
valve?
Page814 Day173

CDR No, but I will. This is the thing that gives me

the darn ... Here I go; if I break anything, let
me know.

SPT Got it?

CDR Oh, darn!

SPT Pressure's awful high. You may not get it closed again.

CDR I can't even get to it.

PLT Okay. The heck with it.

CDR ... worry about it.

SPT Right. Probably won't. Hey, you didn't break any-

thing, but we Just undocked.

CDR Don't say that.

06 34 42 CDR Yes, I'm up to 3.7 and ... That's 02 HIGH FLOW ought
to come off the peg here after awhile.

SPT It goes to about 4.3 - -

PLT - We want about 4.5, yes.

SPT Now we're doing a suit circuit check, is that right?

Or a PGA check - suit circuit. We fouled that, and
we might think about the other.

PLT Bringing that surge tank down a little bit.

CDR I have a feeling we should have the surge tank off.

PLT Yes.

06 35 48 CDR Okay, l'm up to 4.3.

PLT All right. That's where you get the integrity check.
Oh, it gets where you get 4.1 to 4.5.

SPT It should be dropping off soon. Everybody hearing

good?

CDR/PLT Yes.
 Day173 Page
815

CDR No problem.

SPT I save my effort for the big pressurization. And

I would recommend another show - -

06 36 23 CDR Oh shoot, I hope it stops, because I'm up to 4.55.

PLT It's all right. It can happen. I - I am, too.

CDR There, it's coming off the peg.

06 36 53 PLT Good. Here we are, the flow has stabilized to

15 seconds. Can't make a ... or anything on this,
do you?

SPT No.

CDR Okay, just watching the 02 get down to a reasonable

number.

PLT Now the reasonable nnmher in here is 0.8.

CDR I'm at 0.45 right now.

PLT Well, shoot. Let's press.

06 37 40 CDR As matter of fact, it's coming down. It's going to

be about 0.4 in a minute.

SPT That's a super suit loop. That's 3.6.

PLT We've about hit it, about flow high.

CDR Yes. Okay. You ready to depress?

SPT Yes. I can't reach the handle. Wait a minute - -

SPT I'm stuck here (laughter) - -

CDR I'll get it.

SPT - - forever!

CDR Okay. Takes forever to come down.

Page816 Day173

PLT Yes.

SPT (Yawn)
06 39 09 CDR Well, gentlemen, we're about 2 hours and 6 minutes from
undocking.

SPT You remember the last time we were in here in

pressurized suits? Do you believe that was a month
ago, darn near?

CDR Sounds quite impossible, when you think about it.

SPT And we've been here ever since.

CDR The guys on that 56 - day flight. They're going to

get in there and say, "What's that ...?"

PLT Right, yes.

SPT Yes. They'll have to send them to the Philippines to

a POW center to be reindoctrinated.

CDR Comeon, suit,comeon .....

06 h0 06 CDR Okay. Wait'll I get this valve off in a minute.

PLT Is there something over there? The 02 FLOW tweaked up

and back down?

CC Skylab, Houston. We're A0S ... for 30 minutes.

CDR Hi, there; we're all pressurized; doing our suit

integrity check.

CC Roger, Pete ....

06 h0 34 SPT Eleven and let me go around from 1 - that one's

cocked - -

CDR Yes. That's - -

SPT - - 2 is cocked; 3 is cocked; - -

SPT Pick up with 9, 10, and we're back to ll where we

started. Okay. They 're all releasing.

06 50 17 CDR Now check your hose and also, if you want to, you can
s- raise my seat, and you're clear to go ahead and
install the hatch.

SPT Okay. I don't think I'll need to raise your seat; I

- if you can get into the center couch, I think I
can get it up that way.

CDR Very good. Checklist ...

SPT We've got a decal in the tunnel.

CDR Okay, I'll read it -

SPT I'll get her aligned first. Let me look up there -

Yellow is aft and orange is front.

CDR Hey, I can see you're getting tangled -

06 51 12 SPT Well, I was - no, I'm all right - I was trying to get
in with both knees. That was the first step. And that's
been working and doing it roughly correctly, so we're in
good shape.
Page818 Day173

CDR Okay, now get it absolutely flat in there.

SPT You bet you.

SPT I declare that looks pretty good to me. It's lined

up good, and it's flat and I can see that - that the
- ... are on there.

06 52 01 CDR Okay. Actuator handle, unstow; pull to stop; set

to latch.

SPT Okay. Pull to the stop. Now I have to set it to

latch, and I'm going to push it to the stop, right?

CDR Hold it. Verify gearbox disconnect socket, then latch.

SPT It won't until I push it to the stop. I haven't

latched it yet.

CDR Oh, I'm sorry, then push it to the stop. Yes.

SPT Yes. It says latch, felt good.

CDR Okay. Actuator handle stow mud the HATCH PRESS

EQUALIZATION valve closed to clockwise.

SPT That's to stow. Now we're going to close the equal

valve?

06 52 53 CDR Yes. What's that cabin press there, Mr. PLT?

PLT It' s 5-1/2.

CDR 5-1/2.

PLT 5.3 to 5.4.

06 53 03 SPT The equal valve is closed.

CDR All right.

PLT 5.3, we'll call it.

CDR And let me give you tool E. All right.

SPT Where am I?
Day173 Page819

CDR Here is tool E. MDA tunnel vent, the MDA tunnel

vent took 30 seconds. Then check the DELTA-P. And
then recycle the tunnel vent until the DELTA-P is
greater than 3.5 and I'll take a - -

SPT 3.5. Okay. l'm looking at the clock right here in

front of me.

CDP Oh.

SPT I want to make sure - -

06 53 56 SPT Goldang, that ... hard .... it's the weakness from
28 days, okay. An MDA tunnel vent. Now it's hack in
MDA CM DELTA-P and it drops some, not much, but some.
Half a psi.

SPT Let's go back to tunnel vent. And we'll sit around.

The time is 43. I'ii check it every now and again.

CDR I got a clock running right here. I'Ii run the event
timer.

06 55 15 CDR Well, we got the 276 in roll, and we've got about the
312 in pitch and we've got about the 311 - about right.
276, 313, and 310; ... know where they are pretty good.

06 56 38 PLT l'm hungry (laughter).

SPT Well, we could break out chow after we get uncomlromu-

lated [sic] here. But assuming that we pass our tests,
am I cleared to get out of this suit?

CDR I don't see any reason why not. The only thing that
could happen is that it didn't undock.

SPT That's right. Some wild contingency like that.

PLT Do you know what we're doing?

06 57 31 SPT Well, we got almost 2 psi.

CDR We could start doing these panels, P. J.

PLT Okay.

06 57 52 CDR Would you open up the F5-I05-6?

PLT Oh, wait, you going to want this G&C book?

Page
820 Day173

CDR I guess not, now that we're not going to maneuver ...

PLT Let me see if I can stow it for you.

SPT Would you like to give it to me?

PLT Do you have some place to put it?

SPT Yes.

CDR Oh, put it F-I.

PLT l'd dearly love to give it to you.

CDR Here, put it over on that right-hand one there, F-2

or whatever the heck it is.

PLT What page you on?

CDR 5-1.

PLT Of the Systems Book?

06 58 30 CDR Yes. All we got to get is panel 4 - panel 4 -

That's your panel.

PLT What's this - are these all done - the ones that are
checked off?

CDR Yes, they are. I need for you to go to panel 4.

PLT How about 9, i0, and 6, first. Oh, you already got
them, huh?

SPT Yes, we got them.

CDR 9, i0, and 6 ought to be in the right configuration.

Let me read--

SPT We ought to have three times.

CDR Yes. Okay. Panel 230 is the next one.

PLT Panel 4. Yes. Okay, let me see if I can get

down there. Joe?

SPT Yes?

SPT Okay. There you go.

07 00 13 PLT Thank you.

TIME SKIP

07 50 24 CC And, Skylab, as we go over the hill, we'll see you

F at Carnarvon at 15:02

07 50 31 CDR Okay. And all you want to do is fire the jets that
are turned on presently. Is that right? I can't
really decipher much out of this thing.

CC Well, CDR, is we need a - I can't let you know here.

I'ii have a good description up when we come AOS at
Carnarvon.

CDR Okay. We're only going to get to look at ... the

way I see it.

CDR Well, I don't know. I thought that, you know, I

been skipping around in this darn thing and I think
l'm all off track. I don't know where the heck I am.

07 51 14 CDR For all I know, it's in that Systems Checklist. Let's

go back there and find out what it says on panel 8,
AUTO RCS SELECT. Pre - undock - I know what it says,
you got to ... zero. They're all alike.

PLT Yes. Right.

CDR I don't know. I was hoping it would stay in there.

PLT ... just doesn't stay in here.

Page822 Day173

07 52 06 CDR Yes. Remember, these times are off by i0 minutes,

right here. See a 27, is that 27? Okay. Yes.

CDR Yes.... on it.

CDR Wonder if we're ... back in the darn attitude we

started in. Well, yes, you can kind of tell - we're
almost back there. Wat l'm looking at is my docking
target in the shadow on there- shadow in - -

PLT ...

CDR It sounded like - ... the indicator was warmin_ up

and they say that they can take care of the problem,
but they're not sure.

PLT ...

07 53 45 CDR What land? Bernu - South America, I guess. Either

that, or it's Africa. That's Africa. Yes. We're
coming right to the coast of Africa. Yes. No, it
would have been on the next rev, in that case Tight
here. Oh,youmeantthe -

PLT Yes. The west coast?

CDR Yes. No, this is Africa. Next stop's Carnarvon.

This ... is absolutely beautiful.

PLT ... You can barely see it.

CDR Looks like ... Look at those ... pads on it. They're
about to float off them!

07 55 40 PLT Now. Right. If I didn't have a watch on it, l'd

put it on like that, right? ...

CDR We set the sides, that makes it a watch.

PLT Yes, but how am I going to get the watch on it,

right?

CDR That's what I said. The fuzzy side goes back to the
right?

PLT Okay.

CDR That's a good boy.

 Day173 Page823

CDR Well, that better ...

PLT Need the Systems Checklist any more over here, Joe?
Get it out of your way. Yes. I'll hold your head.

08 O1 09 PLT I just got up in the tunnel and put my feet in it,

going to be dragging about the time they - all right
P.J. "We'll run on the bicycle." Joe, do you ...?
Those pumps is what's bugging me. l'm going to turn
it on. If I can to get them.

PLT That's the ... docking?

quiet core, ... (Laughter) ... nobody wants us ...
(Laughter) ... I can tell you that. Wheee!

08 07 22 CDR Hey, this flyaround is really going to be wild. You

know that? Because the ground is going to he going
by in a most screwy darn way in the whole world. You
have to just put out of your mind - you're moving
over the ground. Plus we're going sideways. Going
sideways to the orbit plane. This must be the orbit
plane right here. Bight? That's the way we're going
to go around there, right?

PLT (Laughter)

SPT Holy cats!

08 08 08 SPT (Laughter) Did you get one of those? What do you do

SPT Were they?

CDR At least we spared ourselves the embarrassment of

"jawing" about them, and then having the guys say
"Did you have them on backwards?" I'm afraid I did
that too many times on this flight, on some of those
darned experiments.

SPT/CDR (Laughter)

SPT They go with the slash mark to the outside. Let's

see. That's the way Pete's wearing them, and I be-
